Any word on Manu? Did he even make the trip?

[ace3g]

Jerry Zgoda @JerryZgoda
(https://twitter.com/JerryZgoda)Wolves list Mo Williams (sprained ankle) as doubtful, Shabazz Muhammad (lower abdominal soreness) as questionable for tonight vs Spurs

A game which does not go down to the wire would be nice ...

[bklynspursfan]

No Mo Williams... Awesome :) lol...

Let's finish the week off on a positive note.

[silverblackfan]

Go Spurs. No Mo, more Slo Mo!

More injuries. Cool.

[Chris]

I think the Wolves have lost something like 14 in a row? Odds are Spurs basketball would overwhelme this team, but this has been a strange season so far.

Hope that Beli is out so the Spurs have a chance...

[BillMc]

Marco being out the same time as Manu is not good, no matter what the Beli bashers might think. Bench will be thin tonight. Still, it's the Timberwolves, right?

[Robz4000]

If we get Tony Parker instead of Enrique, they'll be set. Doubt it though.

[littlecoyotecoin]

A game which does not go down to the wire would be nice ...

So much. But, in current state of injuredness on a back to back...probably ANOTHER close game. But, it's Minny. Maybe we can get a comfortable win? Here's to hoping.

[TXstbobcat]

Just got my tickets to the game tonight :flag:

[Malik Hairston]

Wolves are the worst defensive team in the NBA, Spurs' offensive system should excel, particularly Enrique..

[heyheymymy]

:flag:

[SupremeGuy]

The Beli haters will see tonight just how fucking much we need him, tbh. He serves a purpose.

[apalisoc_9]

expect all the Vanilla fans to be bumping Enrique thread because he had a good game against one of the worst defensive team in the league..

[ace3g]

Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
(https://twitter.com/JMcDonald_SAEN)According to monitors ... Spurs: Parker, Green, Diaw, Duncan, Splitter. Wolves: Lavine, Wiggins, Budinger, Young, Dieng.

[pgardn]

Tony ain't ready, Manu out, Marco out...

Patty, Corey and Big Dan are about to get a work out.
KA is gonna get some minutes hopefully.

[SpursFan86]

Austin Daye starting...fantastic

[milkyway21]

Duncan did not DNP?

:D

[crc21209]

Diaw missing chip shots...:td

[elemento]

Austin Daye starting :lol

It's now or never for him. Hopefully he hits all the shots he has been missing since day 1 in San Antonio. Minny's defense is horrible tbh.

[milkyway21]

Just don't get injured Spurs. I am getting tired of hearing injury to injury after each game :cry

:(

[spursparker9]

lol Timmy

[pgardn]

we got slow slop tonight...

[hater]

Duncan playing like ass

[timtonymanu]

Jim with the brain fart

Duncan and Parker just giving the ball to the other team:lol..

[objective]

Parker looks like it's his slowest game ever. Some Bateer level jets puffing along.

[Malik Hairston]

Parker looks like it's his slowest game ever. Some Bateer level jets puffing along.

Should be dominating against the 30th ranked defense in the NBA, tbh..

[SpursFan86]

Yeah I'm really close to giving up on Parker at this point. If we want to win a title this year, we'll need other people to step up.

[pgardn]

Parker looks like it's his slowest game ever. Some Bateer level jets puffing along.

No doubt.

This is mud.

His D is ... Well...

[milkyway21]

:huh more than 2-word answer in an interview from Pop? Congratulations :D

[Malik Hairston]

Tim's D has been so awful for the past 2-3 weeks or so, unfortunately..the minutes caught up to him..

[Silver&Black]

Parker in the paint?

[hater]

MVParkwer waking up from his funk

Austin Daye is terrible

[pgardn]

Thank God it's the Timberwolves.

[Silver&Black]

I thought Mo Williams was out? Guess not....

[pgardn]

Tony already gassed.

Long way to go.
We have the time.

[Silver&Black]

Gaye looked confident on that jumper....good early sign.

[SpursFan86]

Minnesota's commentators seem pretty good. Spurs feed on Ballstreams isn't working, but I'm not minding listening to the Minnesota guys.

[milkyway21]

Bonner is wasting TPs passes. That was supposed to be another Parket assist
Come on red rocket.

Daye 2!

Them, the Sacramento and Clippers announcers all love the Spurs..

Spurs D looking pretty decent in the 1st Q. However, Minnesota is taking some dumbass shots too....

Feels good to play the worst team in the West:lol..

No lead is safe with the Spurs, though, sadly..

[SpursFan86]

Austin with his annual "Hey, this guy has potential" game. Then he'll suck for the rest of the year.

Yup. It almost upsets me seeing him do this well, because I worry the FO will use it as a reason to keep him.

[Johnny RIngo]

:lol Daye taking a shit on the forum :lmao

Playing against the 2nd worst defensive team in the league. That's the only reason Parker and Daye look good tonight.

[hater]

Parker is back fellas :tu :tu :tu

[Malik Hairston]

Damn, this game sucks and the NFL game is just as bad:lol..

[ElNono]

Wiggins for Daye/Ayres... do it RC

[hater]

and to think with Evita out there we'd probably be all tied up :lol

[NASpurs]

I've seen this movie before. That third quarter collapse is coming .

Time for the NFC game.

This is so bad.

As a backup PG, yes..still concerned about the way he defers to Ginobili, though..

[hater]

Patty+Cojo make a lethal backcourt :tu

Too bad you can't combine MVPatty and CoJo into one player.

That's not a foul... horrible refs

Mo Williams is a stupid piece of shit :lol

[hater]

:lmao what the fuck are the Wolves doing :lol

[Raven]

damn wtf is mo williams doing

[ElNono]

I think it's time to start Manu/Danny and let Cojo/Patty come off the bench... let Enrique play backup SF now that he has a 3 point shot

[Mugen]

Good 1st half. We should only be down by 2 or 3 pts after the 3rd quarter shitshow tbh.

[FaM0us Skins]

58-43.

[ElNono]

well, we should be up 30, but no Gino or Kawhi, can't complain, tbh

[BatManu20]

Maybe they will use your negative hyperbole as a contrarian indicator and keep him because if people are saying things like this, they gotta keep him! Ya jinxed yerself if you want him gone.

This is at least his third game where he shows the "potential" you fear, as little as he plays, in less than a year. So is it annual?

[Robz4000]

:lol I refuse to watch that garbage NFC game tbh.

Being forced to watch it here at the bar I'm at. Both teams have such an abortion of an offense.

[NASpurs]

Pau Gasol with 28 at halftime :lol

Just tells you how bad Belinelli is, even Daye is an improvement

Was that Tony that didn't box out whatsoever? :lol

Good one

[milkyway21]

With Duncan & TP, we're supposed to be leading by 30 against these guys

[milkyway21]

Damn it Bonner :cuss

[littlecoyotecoin]

Need Daye back in there before these scrubs blow his lead.

[ElNono]

paddy!

[DMC]

16 FTs? Timberrefs!

[Malik Hairston]

Patty's jump shot didn't take long to return to form, pretty impressive recovery time..

[milkyway21]

Daye looked like a 7-footer out there

[ElNono]

great ball movement with this unit

[beirmeistr]

It boomerang ed.

[Brunodf]

Inb4 the Spurs blow this lead

[NASpurs]

I nearly forgot what it felt like taking a big lead into the fourth quarter.

[Malik Hairston]

The attention that Mills draws from the defense has been opening things up, the ball movement has looked great when he's been on the floor lately..

His constant movement + threat to shoot..

[mystargtr34]

Haven't watch Enrique this game but at least he's back on the scoreboard.. shouldn't be too long before his back to showing who's by far the second best Spur of the Duncan era :lol.

[NASpurs]

Probably helps that Beli isn't playing and fucking up things as a starter especially in the third quartets.

[Brunodf]

:lol Refs

[ElNono]

Probably helps that Beli isn't playing and fucking up things as a starter especially in the third quartets.

Probably helps we're playing the Wolves, tbh

[mystargtr34]

Good to get back to blow out wins as per last year.. its been a while :lol.. last year this was the norm with the close wins being the exception.

[NASpurs]

Probably helps we're playing the Wolves, tbh

True almost forgot that tidbit. I got excited there for a second.

[ElNono]

ugh, why are we playing ISO now?

[Brunodf]

:lol This annuncer talk

[TheGreatYacht]

Haven't watch Enrique this game but at least he's back on the scoreboard.. shouldn't be too long before his back to showing who's by far the second best Spur of the Duncan era :lol.
:tu this

[Brunodf]

Bonner/Diaw/Daye/Tony/Mills lineup :lol

[ElNono]

can we get Cojo back in there?

[RD2191]

Start Cojo, time for the youth movement. Parker can run the bench.

[r0drig0lac]

gasol with 40/16...

[Malik Hairston]

Parker is absolutely killing the Spurs..smh..

[NASpurs]

Game started to take a nosedive when MVPSubCoJo went to the bench.

[littlecoyotecoin]

Patty's jump shot didn't take long to return to form, pretty impressive recovery time..

It has been wonderfule to see, for sure.

[NASpurs]

Maybe Patty can teach Parker the art of the towel wave to make Parker useful for something.

Parker's going to give us heart burns from here on out.

[SpursFan86]

That Parker contract is starting to really scare me

[313]

how is Daye our leading scorer :lol

[spursparker9]

Will this season be the first time in history that there will be no representative for All-Star Game by the defending champs?

Tony, Manu don't deserved it.

Timmy may be borderline deserving, but there are too many good front court players in the west.

Spurs couldn't make a single basket in the first 5 minutes of the 4th

[EVAY]

what happened, tbh? went to take a leak and it's 13 point game?

I know this is gonna sound impossible, but somehow the lineup of Cory, Mills, Bonner, Green and Diaw doesn't seem to be just demolishing the other team.

[pgardn]

Well we got Patty with his speed back.

Hopefully Parker will get back.
May take about 3 more and then he is going to have to work on stamina.
Lotta ground to make up.

[NASpurs]

Pop is looking pretty relaxed, tbh.

Probably has some wine hidden somewhere

[milkyway21]

Maybe Patty can teach Parker the art of the towel wave to make Parker useful for something.

And risk his rotator muscle like Mills :p:

Yeah it took Patty about three games to get his shot back but his energy was there from the start. What concerns me about TP is that he is making such bad shot selections. He is really pressing too hard, imo. His shots will improve as his legs get stronger, but his decision making in the paint is not good right now.

[milkyway21]

just 12 pt-game ..

[BatManu20]

Daye with the worst pass of all time. Great.

[timtonymanu]

Thank god it's the Twolves.
