[NASpurs]

No way Duncan or Manu play tonight.

[Mel_13]

No way Duncan or Manu play tonight.

Three days off before the next game. I think it's more likely that Tony sits.

[Bartleby]

Should be a big night for Leonard. They're going to need scoring from somebody.

Damn no regular season Mo :tu

[TheGreatYacht]

Just by looking at both team's lineups recently, these should be the starting lineups

Lavine, Brewer, Wiggins, Young, Dieng
vs
Joseph, Green, Leonard, Diaw, Baynes

[Fireball]

IMO Duncan and Manu will play because its a home game and likely a blowout. tony will sit because of injuries ...

[EVAY]

IMO Duncan and Manu will play because its a home game and likely a blowout. tony will sit because of injuries ...

I think that Duncan and Manu may suit up, but I doubt that either of them play. And I hope they don't, since they played so much last night. Manu can hardly ever string together two super good games in a row any more (hope he proves me wrong about that tonight if he plays), and it will only mar his image to be out there and not do as well as he has been doing of late.

[Chinook]

Hope Tony plays. That wins by a trio record is really important to me for some reason.

[Mikeanaro]

Please dont lose this, please nooooooooo, pleasie please? :flag:

[SupremeGuy]

I hope we can get a big league in the first half so Timmy and Manu don't have to play at all in the second half. Then 3 days of rest.

:flag:

[loveforthegame]

Get the win and stay healthy. :flag:

[ElNono]

Looking back at the Nets game, it would be unwise of the Spurs to take any team lightly. Go for the throat.

:flag:

[spurs10]

Looking back at the Nets game, it would be unwise of the Spurs to take any team lightly. Go for the throat. :flag: Yes, we need a big fat W tonight. No prisoners.

[Chomag]

This Should be an easy win as long as the Spurs dont mess around and play to the competition. If the guys play Spurs ball this game should be over in thew first 10 minutes.

[milkyway21]

Every W is important in the WC when team standing is separated by only a game or two.

Make it happen. :flag:

[apalisoc_9]

No parker..

Spurs probably win

[Brunodf]

No way Duncan or Manu play tonight.
Pop doesn't sit them at home...

[milkyway21]

Minnesota played well against WC#2 Houston sending the game to OT. We cannot under estimate the team despite their 4-game losing streak. It will only energize them even more to get a W.
Sad because Parker always played well against them. But it is wise for him to rest on this one.

[ace3g]

Dan McCarney @danmccarneySAEN
(https://twitter.com/danmccarneySAEN)Pop: Parker out, Ginobili out, Duncan very likely out.

Fak

[timtonymanu]

It's the TWolves. :lol. We should be fine.

[Robz4000]

It's the TWolves. :lol. We should be fine.

This will be Wiggins' breakout game. Predicting 44/10/7 with lockdown D on Kawhi. Meanwhile, Diaw/Bonner/Green/CoJo combine for 20 points. On the plus side Baynes will have a 30/30 game.

[timtonymanu]

That regular season player Mo is out as well? No excuse to lose this.

[Robz4000]

That regular season player Mo is out as well? No excuse to lose this.

They still have Corey '55 points' Brewer doe...

[BillMc]

No Parker or Manu or Patty. Boris and Cory going to initiate the offense?

[Robz4000]

Who is word7 and why do his posts never show up?

[ElNono]

:flag:

[timtonymanu]

:lol Forreal. I got quoted by that poster a couple of times only to see that the post was deleted.

[jeebus]

:lol Forreal. I got quoted by that poster a couple of times only to see that the post was deleted.
Could he be shadowbanned?

[EVAY]

No parker..

Spurs probably win

No Parker, no Manu, half the Minnesota starters are out and they played an overtime loss last night. So this should be the opportunity for Kawhi to overpower everyone else on the court and show how he should be an all-star and the future of the franchise, no? He only shot at a 25% and 30% clip the last two outings, so he is a bit overdue to show how he is the best player on the team, right?

We should win by 30 and Kawhi should score at least 50. No hill for a stepper.

[NASpurs]

Pop doesn't sit them at home...


How many backend games of a b2b are ever at home?

[Robz4000]

Timmy's playing, so Spurs by 60.

[100%duncan]

Big 1 gonna beast tonite

[ElNono]

fuck corey brewer... there I said it

[100%duncan]

Woulda been a good start for GOAT

[DapDaGenius]

Matt Bonner has a nice 2

[Uriel]

When Splitter comes back, Bonner will be the best 5th big in the NBA.

[100%duncan]

Wait, Matty's was a 2?

[spursparker9]

Oh timmy

[100%duncan]

Clearly Tim is tired :lmao

[DapDaGenius]

We need to trade Duncan for someone legendary like Amir Johnson.

[100%duncan]

I kinda wish Wiggins has a break out game. The NBA needs more talent tbh

[FaM0us Skins]

Good shot by Bonner.

[100%duncan]

Bonner is the GOAT

[DapDaGenius]

Bonner going off

[FaM0us Skins]

Baynes And-One!

[DapDaGenius]

Baynes!

[spursparker9]

CoJo!

[ace3g]

going to need this tonight:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B4N4Z_FCUAA_PMe.jpg:large

[Robz4000]

Fucking Thaddius Young

[ironman2886]

Baynes did a "Space Jam" and took Duncan's touch around the basket. :bang

[100%duncan]

going to need this tonight:

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/B4N4Z_FCUAA_PMe.jpg:large

That's disturbing

[spursparker9]

Free Kyle !!!

[spursparker9]

If CoJo can shoots 3...

[FaM0us Skins]

Belinelli!

[Mikeanaro]

Hi everybody, came to see Bon Bon triple double.

[100%duncan]

That passing

Btw Kawhi needs to get it fucking going already

[100%duncan]

Beli shoulda reversed that :lol

[FaM0us Skins]

Hi everybody, came to see Bon Bon triple double.

Bonner>Kevin Love

[ironman2886]

Kawhi continued when he left off the last few games. Guy has beer goggles on.

[NASpurs]

Never seen the bench rub their stomach when Marco scores :lol Maybe I just didn't notice that before

[100%duncan]

LOL NO YOU ARE SITLL BOTH SCRUBS FAGGOTS (ayres and daye)

[timtonymanu]

WTF? :lol

[ironman2886]

LOL NO YOU ARE SITLL BOTH SCRUBS FAGGOTS (ayres and daye)
They're both scrubs, but Errors doesn't have a single skill.

[ElNono]

peeps bitch about Beli, but the ball moves better when he's in there

[DapDaGenius]

When did they start doing the lame belly rub?

[NASpurs]

Ohhhhhhhhh Beli, belly... Lol

[timtonymanu]

KA sighting. Would be nice to see him get going too.

[ElNono]

Anderson goes in.... playing as PF...

[Uriel]

Wow, Anderson is playing.

[DapDaGenius]

Real desperate 3

[100%duncan]

Enrique sitting with MVPatty

[Uriel]

Enrique wearing a vest under his suit. :lol The guy clearly knows how to dress.

[ElNono]

now KA bringing the ball up

[100%duncan]

Spaghetti bout to score 30

[DapDaGenius]

Marco with the 2K cheese

[ElNono]

Marco great in the 1st quarter

[EVAY]

Enrique wearing a vest under his suit. :lol The guy clearly knows how to dress.

Son of a fashion model (his mom). His dad was wearing a three piece suit in last year's finals too.

[ironman2886]

Forgot how hard teams play(even shitty ones) against defending champs.

[spursparker9]

wow kyle

[100%duncan]

Tim messing up KA"s assists :lol

[100%duncan]

Marco with the 2K cheese

Yeah man guard him all 22 seconds long just for him to hit a BS shot :lol

[ironman2886]

Apparently Kawhi spread his toxic eye shit to Tim.

[DapDaGenius]

Marco!!!

[ElNono]

THAT dude

[100%duncan]

Raven get in here in spiiiiin this shit!

[NASpurs]

Primo is unconscious

[Juggity]

Marco having his best game of the season...maybe best game of 2014

[timtonymanu]

Ugh Corey Brewer annoys me on whatever team he's on.

[Uriel]

Pop needs to have more patience with KA. He's a rookie; give him a break. He'll make mistakes every now and then, it's part of his growth.

[ironman2886]

But but he's a liability on defense. :lol

[jeebus]

Maybe we can trade Kyle for McDaniels.

[NASpurs]

http://www.ilgiorno.it/polopoly_fs/1.13713.1404404351!/httpImage/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/gallery_800/image.jpg

[ElNono]

too much Beli swag, tbh

[BillMc]

Marco having shades of the first half of last year when he couldn't miss.

[ElNono]

is that Cutino Mobley? I thought he died

[spursparker9]

Good pass tim

[BatManu20]

Good ball movement + bad team = open shots all day for us.

[Robz4000]

Duncan for the triple double on a b2b.

[jeebus]

is that Cutino Mobley? I thought he died
Naw. He became Steve Francis' life coach about 5 years ago. Introduced him to meth and crack cocaine.

[100%duncan]

Wiggins sucks

[100%duncan]

Maybe we can trade Kyle for McDaniels.

Oh now dont be too harsh :lol

[spursparker9]

Kawhi with the jordan move

[DapDaGenius]

Kawhi's shot kind of reminds me of Kevin Durant's mid range shot.

[ironman2886]

Wiggins sucks
Wasn't he supposed to be the next Lebron James?

[spursparker9]

Bennett has slim down

[100%duncan]

Wasn't he supposed to be the next Lebron James?

Really disappointing. #1 draft pick lolol. Cleveland screwed it up again, lol wolves for taking the biat

[EVAY]

Kawhi's shot kind of reminds me of Kevin Durant's mid range shot.

good observation. And it is his best shot.

[Mikeanaro]

Good play by Kawhi.

[loveforthegame]

The big 1. :lol

[Uriel]

I suddenly wish Kawhi had played for Team USA. He could've made the same leap in his game that Klay Thompson has made this year.

[100%duncan]

What's that call?

[Robz4000]

Really disappointing. #1 draft pick lolol. Cleveland screwed it up again, lol wolves for taking the biat

To be fair, this entire draft has been terrible.

[timtonymanu]

I suddenly wish Kawhi had played for Team USA. He could've made the same leap in his game that Klay Thompson has made this year.

He's still better than that regular season player, Klay. :lol

[Mikeanaro]

I suddenly wish Kawhi had played for Team USA. He could've made the same leap in his game that Klay Thompson has made this year.
Or he could´ve made the same leap that Paul George made :downspin:

[100%duncan]

To be fair, this entire draft has been terrible.

Atleast Jabari's making something up, although not #2 pick material. Wiggins certainly isnt.

[DapDaGenius]

Nice move by Wiggins. He'd make a decent backup for the Big 1.

[100%duncan]

Or he could´ve made the same leap that Paul George made :downspin:

Too soon?


:lol

[SpursFan86]

Fucking Timberwolves keep making low percentage shots.

[BatManu20]

Wiggins is never going to be the superstar he was billed up to be, but he'll definitely develop into a solid player imo. Only 19 still. Has a ton of room to improve and a high ceiling.

[100%duncan]

Wiggins is never going to be the superstar he was billed up to be, but he'll definitely develop into a solid player imo. Only 19 still. Has a ton of room to improve and a high ceiling.

I hope he and Jabari go superstar level tbh. Future's looking bleak.

[100%duncan]

DAT DUDE

[Juggity]

king beli

[100%duncan]

:lol

[BatManu20]

What a save by Cojo tbh after Bonner's awful pass. Made up for it with the 3-ball though.

[Mikeanaro]

WOW MAMBA!

[DapDaGenius]

Marco and Bonner making some nice shots.

[Mikeanaro]

Forgot Flop Saunders is in Minny, they wont even make the playoffs with him, I mean they have the same or less chances than having Adelman in charge.

[BatManu20]

If Kawhi ever becomes a knock down 3-point shooter he's going to be a monster.

[Diego20]

inb4 "that's my ferrari" by hater

[100%duncan]

Big 1

[ironman2886]

These pups won't go away. Playing hard for the champs.

[Robz4000]

If Kawhi ever becomes a knock down 3-point shooter he's going to be a monster.

He's pretty good at it; just needs his eye to get better. Its obviously bugging him right now.

[ironman2886]

Verde!!

[100%duncan]

Danny, what a fucking player tbh

[ironman2886]

Danny, what a fucking player tbh
Dude has been the most consistent player for the Spurs.

[NASpurs]

Beautiful basketball without MVParker. No heroes on this team. :cry

[100%duncan]

Danny, what a fucking player tbh

[weeks]

danny green's D is so legit..his offense is gravy

[NASpurs]

Tim should just hit the showers and go home at halftime. Get out early from work.

[spursparker9]

Danny has improved his layup this season

[ironman2886]

Spurs better pay Green.

[BatManu20]

Bellliiiii

[DapDaGenius]

Marco giving no fucks. :lol

[100%duncan]

HES DET DUDE

[NASpurs]

*belly rub *

[ironman2886]

"Mama Mia!!"

[Mikeanaro]

BOLINELI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! BOTICELLI!!!!!!!!!!!! BAFANGULO!

[timtonymanu]

Good work by Beli. Hopefully he gets into a rhythm now. We need him.

[BillMc]

Marco Mania hits Spurtstalk!:toast

[Robz4000]

Tim should just hit the showers and go home at halftime. Get out early from work.

Fuk det. He's on triple double watch again.

[DapDaGenius]

Beautiful basketball without MVParker. No heroes on this team. :cry

So who are we getting when we trade Paker?

[100%duncan]

Fuk det. He's on triple double watch again.

I doubt he gets 6 more assists. Would be an amazing feat though

[Mikeanaro]

So who are we getting when we trade Paker?
Kobe Bryant.

[Robz4000]

I doubt he gets 6 more assists. Would be an amazing feat though

He should've had 8 already. Diaw, CoJo, and Kawhi missed some open looks.

[100%duncan]

He should've had 8 already. Diaw, CoJo, and Kawhi missed some open looks.

B2B triple double that would be amzaing tbh :lol

[NASpurs]

So who are we getting when we trade Paker?

Why trade the hero of our team bro? :cry

[100%duncan]

Bulls and GSW close game

[spursparker9]

Bulls and GSW close game

Rose is playing?

[100%duncan]

Rose is playing?

I think so. Just tuned in

[DapDaGenius]

Kobe Bryant.

Fuck. You sure we can't get someone amazing like Norris Cole?

[DapDaGenius]

Marco again. Nice.

[ironman2886]

Balboa!!

[ironman2886]

Pups getting the calls. Lol.

[timtonymanu]

Twolves need to stop being faggy and let TD get a triple double again.

[Robz4000]

:lol why can't the Spurs ever maintain large leads?

[Robz4000]

Spurs are at home yet have shot half the freebies Minny has :lol...

[timtonymanu]

Kawhi is slumping bad.

[spursparker9]

CoJo is the big "One" tbh

[timtonymanu]

Just need 5 assists from Duncan.

[ironman2886]

CoJo is the big "One" tbh
I love his energy. Dude has come to play this season.

[Robz4000]

Duncan is 5 assists away. Should've had it if someone outside Marco could finish the play.

[Mikeanaro]

Fuck. You sure we can't get someone amazing like Norris Cole?
Too expensive.

[Mikeanaro]

HE CANT DUNK.

[ironman2886]

Has Kawhi ever missed a dunk?

[jeebus]

Kawhi Errors

[timtonymanu]

:lol Pistons
:lol cant even beat a tanking team like Philly

[ironman2886]

Marco handling that rock well.

[timtonymanu]

This is a long ass 3rd quarter. :lol

[100%duncan]

We need Minny close. 5 more assists for tim.

[SpursFan86]

Just stop fouling and let's finish this shit up. Hate when games that are already over drag out.

[Brunodf]

That 2nd unit defense destroying our DRtg :bang

[ironman2886]

Kyle and Diaw passing. Damn.

[Mikeanaro]

Sniper Baynes.

[100%duncan]

CMON TPUPS MAKE TD COME BACK IN FOR THAT 3ple dub

[Brunodf]

Both good looking - Sean Elliott 2014:lmao

[Robz4000]

Splitter back this week!

[timtonymanu]

:lol Splitter Rose
:lol "It Still Hurts."

[ElNono]

:sleep

[100%duncan]

Pop wants that Timmy 3ple double brings Ayres so that tpups can make a run

[spursparker9]

Give kyle handle the ball more !

[weeks]

baynes has a sweet looking stroke. he makes them with surprising frequency

[ironman2886]

Errors!

[100%duncan]

Fuck this faggot

[DapDaGenius]

Oh buddy. Ayres just waiting to check Spurstalk tonight to see what we say about that one.

[ironman2886]

Softest calls I've seen in awhile.

[spursparker9]

baynes has a sweet looking stroke. he makes them with surprising frequency

his shooting stroke remind me of LaMarcus Aldridge's.

[ironman2886]

Damn, Cory. Dude is balling.

[spursparker9]

Big One Cojo!

[BatManu20]

Air Bobo

[DapDaGenius]

Cojo looking nice out there.

[ironman2886]

Enrique who?

[tim_duncan_fan]

After having the big 3 for a decade, it is fucking weird watching all of these players develop.

Green, Leonard, CoJo, BIG BAYNES, Saint Patty. Even the injured Tiago and the struggling Anderson. All these fuckers look like potential starters too.

It's crazy.

[spursparker9]

lol Error can make that pass

[ironman2886]

Refs think it's the pre season with all these calls.

The System works wonders.

[timtonymanu]

Splitter back this week!

Is that what was reported?

[ironman2886]

The System works wonders.
This system made Green(dleaguer) to a baller.

[loveforthegame]

Maybe we can trade Leonard and keep Daye instead.

[ironman2886]

All Daye

[spursparker9]

lol I am pretty sure Daye don't need Pop to reassure him that Daye is a big one too.

[tim_duncan_fan]

If Anderson leaves this game scoreless, I'm gonna be pissed. Even Pendergraph has scored.

[DapDaGenius]

lol Daye

[ElNono]

not sure if Kyle Anderson is better than 2013 TMac, tbh

[Robz4000]

Is that what was reported?

Sean said Splitter would play limited minutes starting at Utah or Wednesday against the Knicks. I'd hold out until the Knicks game if I were Pop tho.

[SpursFan86]

I know it's relatively meaningless, but our garbage time unit has been so annoying to watch this year

[Robz4000]

Everyone has scored now

[tim_duncan_fan]

I was about to say...

[timtonymanu]

Sean said Splitter would play limited minutes starting at Utah or Wednesday against the Knicks. I'd hold out until the Knicks game if I were Pop tho.

Awesome! We desperately need more depth right now.

[spursparker9]

not sure if Kyle Anderson is better than 2013 TMac, tbh

:lol that T-mac just couldn't/wouldn't score

[BatManu20]

Ayers with the footwork? The hell

[tim_duncan_fan]

WHAT DID I JUST SEE?

Was that real???

[Hoops Czar]

not sure if Kyle Anderson is better than 2013 TMac, tbh

That's not what you said on draft night.

[BatManu20]

If Anderson leaves this game scoreless, I'm gonna be pissed. Even Pendergraph has scored.

There you go.

[NASpurs]

Was that Kyle's first basket of the year, sure feels like it :lol

[Mikeanaro]

Slomo is very Slow.

[tim_duncan_fan]

AYERS THE GOD!

I was wondering what would happen after Tim Duncan. Now I know.

[ElNono]

That's not what you said on draft night.

Nah... I said he was heading to the Toros... which I still think will happen when Patty comes back

[timtonymanu]

not sure if Kyle Anderson is better than 2013 TMac, tbh

I'm still waiting for TMac to make a basket as a Spur.

[BatManu20]

Good win :tu

[ElNono]

Other than the defense from the 4th unit, it was a fine game for the Spurs...

:flag: We win!

[tim_duncan_fan]

Marco had the big balls out in that first half.

Now to go fuck some Twitter bitches.

[024]

Too easy... makes me wonder what the Spurs will be like after Duncan and Ginobili retire. They will probably be too good to make the lottery but not good enough to get over the championship hump unless they get Marc Gasol and/or another good play making wing. But damn, this team is still above average with just the bench playing.

Probably 2nd round playoffs exit. Highest ceiling is making WCF.

[SpurPadre]

Pop will never let him do the big balls thing.

[Robz4000]

This team without Duncan and Manu is first round fodder/high-end lottery material. They'll need to either make a couple good signings or completely blow it up. Looks like they plan on the former.

[Russo21]

123 points and our highest scorer only had 20. 2 of our best players weren't playing. Team offense at it's best.
