[BatManu20]

Rematch of one of the most stressful Finals matchup in recent memory.

Good story lines in this one: Pistons on a 6-game winning streak since trading the chucker. Tony Parker making his return tonight.
Time to get this W :hat

Should be a good game. Hopefully Tony will look alright.

Anyone know the song they play when the Spurs come out of the starting line up? It's on the tip of my tongue but I can't for the life of me figure it out..

Currently watching the Spurs vs Detroit finals game 7.
Manu is phenomenal. Scary, Duncan down early in 2Q.

Whoa, Kid Rock? Spurs fan?

Where are they now?-
Rasheed Wallace 2nd Q 2 pts.
Antonio McDyess
Billups-retired
Rip Hamilton

While Spurs Big 3 still intact today :D
Ben Wallace

Defense of both teams :tu

Hopefully Enrique took his Delorean back to 2012 and MVParker came back.

[Robz4000]

We want 2013 Parker, not 2012...

[dabom]

We want 2013 regular season Parker, not 2012...

Tony was nuts in the 2013 postseason up until Game 3 of the Finals tbh.

Still not good enough tbh. Only if we could play the clippers every series. :drool:

[spursparker9]

Tony was nuts in the 2013 postseason up until Game 3 of the Finals tbh.

I thought there were rumor that he was injured during game 1 or 2. But it was not largely reported.

[Fuzzy Dunlop]

:lol it's the same story with enrique.

we're all hoping he comes back as mvparker. looks good his first game back. then he'll get exposed the next game and proceed to sit out another 2 more weeks with "injuries." :rolleyes

[FlAVaK]

...Good story lines in this one: Pistons on a 6-game winning streak since trading the chucker...

It´s just five games! And it ends today. All those wins were against none playoff teams (except CLE, but they played without Kyrie and Varejao)...

[Robz4000]

It´s just five games! And it ends today. All those wins were against none playoff teams (except CLE, but they played without Kyrie and Varejao)...

They were also nuking those teams by 20-30 points. Jennings, Monroe, and Drummond have been going HAM.

[timtonymanu]

Going to be a tougher game than it seems. Spurs should get a W though.

[Silver&Black]

We should move this party to the Pistons Forum. Pretty dead in there tbh...

look! it's tony!

Should've brought Enrique off the bench imho.

Whoa TP doesn't start : ) ??

U better make quality minutes Beli

Teams are going to start going to the Hack-a-Tim in the playoffs.

Why the fuck does Pop give Ayres mins over Baynes? :td
Is he on the bench? I saw Gaye and Boner but not Baynes...

[TDfan2007]

Monroe looks really good out there. It's fun watching he and Timmy go at each other. Similar styles. Liking what I'm seeing overall so far by the team.

[jeebus]

Errors :lmao

[HI-FI]

Ayres already in mid season form.

[SupremeGuy]

Fuck you Errors, tbh.

[SupremeGuy]

First this asshole misses a wide open alley and then he misses a wide open layup. FUCK YOU ERRORS!!! :bang

CoJo should start instead of Beli tbh. Better fit for both players.

[TDfan2007]

Spurs look fantastic on both ends right now.

[FaM0us Skins]

Lol Meeks airballed it.

[Hemotivo]

Baynes = neck spasms

[Mugen]

Do Mexicans like Star Wars tbh?

[ElNono]

Time for Pop to bring the bench guys

[TDfan2007]

CoJo should start instead of Beli tbh. Better fit for both players.

Defensively, yes, but it hurts our spacing since Cojo isn't a willing outside shooting.

[ElNono]

Do Mexicans like Star Wars tbh?
robdiaz2191

[hater]

MVParker looks great. Spurs look like Spurs of old

[TDfan2007]

I'd love to see us win while Meeks becomes the "Superhuman Scrub" of the game. He's on my fantasy team

[moisaenz]

Does Ayres look bigger?

[Mugen]

Defensively, yes, but it hurts our spacing since Cojo isn't a willing outside shooting.

Meh, plop him in the corner. He'll be pretty useless with Manu/Mills on the floor IMO.

[milkyway21]

Ayres :lol

[TDfan2007]

:lol Ayers is gonna go for a career high

Old men Manu and Timmy look fresh.

Dam Ayers with the dunk

[TDfan2007]

Good point. Our bench D would be even worse though...

[SpursFan86]

Errors has 9 points in 5 minutes...I've seen it all now

[Hemotivo]

Tony is back in the game

[Chris]

Is Pop trying to 'sell' Ayers to the Pistons?

CIA Pop benching him quick :lol

If Errors scores 20 tonight, Detroit should be banished from the league tbh.

maybe something about the foul?

Augustine is the backup pg, St complaining about cojo

[FaM0us Skins]

Nine Spurs have already scored, led by nine apiece from Duncan and Ayres

[TDfan2007]

Detroit looks lost on D, but at the same time we've been firing on almost all cylinders. Great ball/body movement.

[TDfan2007]

Tiago with the Olajuwon moves :P

I love that up and under move of his.

[Hemotivo]

awful D by TP

[SupremeGuy]

Our team has looked so much better with MVPatty, tbh.

[SpursFan86]

I like how Timmy always goes for those buzzer beaters. A lot of players these days act like they're trying to get the shot off, but make sure to shoot it after the buzzer to protect their FG%. Shit annoys me...those potential points could be the difference between a win and a loss.

[spursparker9]

lol Caron Butler. Lets see if he do the phone call thing

[moisaenz]

Parker getting owned by augustine

[milkyway21]

I've never seen Manu jump pass more than this season...

Good news Detroit is not that lucky fron the 3-pt line tonight...

Manu is now Ayres bff :)

Spurs just come at you in waves. So many weapons. One minute it's Timmy, then Manu, then Bobo, then Ayers...wait...

Weird timing for this promo night. Would make more sense next season.

Yes with Ayres 2.0

Cojo (70% fg) 2-2 tonight :tu

Let's be real, Ayres is getting the max.

[313]

Who is this guy and where is Jeff Errors?

Ayers. :lol

This is a clinic...

Never thought I'd hear that :lol

They said chad and crew have been working with him on finishing near the rim. Hence the playing time tonight.

[Johnsyounger]

Errors "Beast Mode" activated :lmao

All Ayres had to do was just not try to dunk all the time

[look_at_g_shred]

:lol Gino making Jeff like the best player out there... props to Errors for finishing, tbh
Manu being manu tbh.

[313]

Now all we need to do is get Kawhi back and we can go back to blowing out teams and resting our starters in the fourth

[TDfan2007]

:lol Gino making Jeff like the best player out there... props to Errors for finishing, tbh

Manu is one of the best passers of all time imo. He goes into Turnobili mode every now and then, but his vision is unreal. Arguably the best passing SG of all time.

[FaM0us Skins]

:rollin

[Hemotivo]

54-36
3:30 to go in the 2nd

[look_at_g_shred]

Never thought id say this but.....put Ayres back in.

[ElNono]

:pop: we were doing too good to keep that 5 man unit

[Hemotivo]

bad foul by Manu

[loveforthegame]

Please make Marco go away.

Jennings takes some of the stupidest playground shots I've ever seen...

[Hemotivo]

TD!

[HI-FI]

[crc21209]

Sean was right, Pop shouldve left that bench unit in...

Again!

He doesn't ever get punished for it...so he keeps doing it.

good shot Tim

[urunobili]

trashker ball stoppage on the first half...

[crc21209]

TD at the buzzer :tu

[313]

Pop needs to play Cojo and Parker together and Manu Mills together. No need for Parker and Manu to play together.

[look_at_g_shred]

:lmao

[BatManu20]

Timmaaayyyy. Solid first half, should be up by more though.

[FaM0us Skins]

58-49.

[milkyway21]

Wish TP just take it easy... Just try 3s instead where he's good now... Or he'll be on DNP again

:wow Timmy !! Buzzer-beater

[crc21209]

He doesn't ever get punished for it...so he keeps doing it.

He'll be out of the league in 3 years or so broke probably...:lol

[NASpurs]

Parker, you got your fifteen minutes of playing time , now sit the rest of this one out.

[TDfan2007]

Timmy w/ 2 solid shots at the end, but our guards are really hanging him out to dry on the pnr, leaving him in no man's land.

[Hemotivo]

No need for Parker and Manu to play together.

Why not?

[look_at_g_shred]

Timmaaayyyy. Solid first half, should be up by more though.
It was pretty much a blowout with like 6 minutes before the half. The starting 5 today are blowing....minus timmy and tiago

[look_at_g_shred]

Parker, you got your fifteen minutes of playing, now sit the rest of this one out.
He's played more than I thought he would already.

[Budkin]

Pathetic end to the half. Come on.

[NASpurs]

I'm sure all of Pop's yes men told him it was a good idea to take the bench out in those final three minutes.

[313]

Why not?
Don't need two primary ball handlers. Why not have Manu handle the bench unit like usual?

[Hemotivo]

Don't need two primary ball handlers. Why not have Manu handle the bench unit like usual?

when TP was healthy, they used to play together a lot

[BillMc]

:flag:

[Perry Mason]

The game got off to a quick start because of TP guys. What he adds to the offense is undebatable. His motion, threat to penetrate, and outside shot completely draw the defense. Yes the starters (all of them, not just TP who the hater fags on this site like to hate) played poorly to end the half, but these are the same starters that just won a ring. Give them a break.

And give TP a break for being a little rusty. Holy shit you fags need to turn in your Spurs fan cards. What gay bar did you all come from?

[313]

when TP was healthy, they used to play together a lot
Yeah I know, especially in fourth quarters, but usually Manu would handle the ball handling in the second unit without Tony.

That said, I don't have any complaints with the way the bench is playing today.

[Brunodf]

Just watch Detroit run to start the 3rd and make this a real game

[ElNono]

Timmy w/ 2 solid shots at the end, but our guards are really hanging him out to dry on the pnr, leaving him in no man's land.

I don't get why Pop went with Bonner... Tiago could help inside

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs had a 18 point lead(with 3:44 to go to halftime) until TP checked back in with the starters and fucked it all up. Piss poor game all around from him. I wish his contract wasn't so awful so the Spurs could trade him - SA plays much better when Parker isn't on the floor. Joseph's already eclipsed him as a point guard.

[texwheel]

What's with the starters, mental or physical. Like in the Boston game: starting 5 were (-)40 and bench was (+)50 or something.

[Cry Havoc]

Missed the first half. what happened?

[ElNono]

:pop: "Our 5-man lineup changes will wear them out by the 4th quarter"

[beirmeistr]

I think it is amazing how Ginobili can zip all over the court at his age.

[SupremeGuy]

The starters trying their best to keep this game close, tbh. lol Pop loves taking the bench out when the lead starts becoming too big.

[hater]

everything was dandy until pop decided to mix and match his lineups. niga was getting bored imo.

we'll be ok in the 2nd half unless Pop gets even more bored and decides to maximize Bonner's minutes

[Johnny RIngo]

What's with the starters, mental or physical. Like in the Boston game: starting 5 were (-)40 and bench was (+)50 or something.

Cancerous point guard running the offense will do that to a good starting unit. Impact stats don't lie - TP's been a big negative most of the time he's stepped on the court this year.

And yet TP was huge in helping build that lead and giving the Spurs momentum. And then did TP come back by himself? Oh, he didn't? So you only blame him? Did you crawl out of someone's asshole today?

This place really needs mods.
