I think he will suit up.

As long as Belinelli is out, this is a win

(https://twitter.com/danmccarneySAEN)Pop shoots down latest visiting scribe seeking scouting report. "What do you know?" "I know the two sides of Isosceles triangle are equal."

[ace3g]

Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
(https://twitter.com/JMcDonald_SAEN)Pop says Tiago Splitter will start next to Tim Duncan again tonight. Indicated this will be more or less standard frontcourt going forward.

[milkyway21]

Losing to Utah in December was heart-breaking. The Spurs won 11-of their last 12 before that..

No Parker but Duncan had a good game of 23 pts 13 rbds, Kawhi 16.pts & Green 13, but vs the unknowns> Hayward, Burks, Kanter? And a 20-pt lead? :(
Maybe because of Pop's ejection? Hmmn

That was the start of December woes.

Revenge. :flag:

[BillMc]

I hope he gets to play some minutes.

Me too. Want to see what we've got here.

[SpurPadre]

Wow, I know this is off topic but the packers just had the NFL equivalent of our '13 Game 6 chokejob. What a meltdown.

[Budkin]

Jazz by 4.

Is Kawhi back yet? I wanna see the look of PTSD on his bitchmade face when he contemplates taking it to the rim whilst Officer Favors patrols.

:lmao

[apalisoc_9]

Wow, I know this is off topic but the packers just had the NFL equivalent of our '13 Game 6 chokejob. What a meltdown.

Thought same thing. Nightmare.

[ElNono]

Hate playing against these D-League teams, tbh.... sooner or later we're gonna start coasting and playing down to the competition...

Good start though...

[cd98]

Spurs are blowing out Jazz tonight. Green will see garbage time I bet.

[ace3g]

Splitter doing work in the post

[Chris]

Utah's interior defense is terrible :wow

[ElNono]

Spurs fell asleep covering the corner there

[Robz4000]

Hate playing Utah; they always play like its Game 7 against the Spurs.

[milkyway21]

Utah's interior defense is terrible :wow

But only 3pt Spurs lead.. :(

[BillMc]

I missed the beginning. Is Marco available? Do we have our full team at last?

[r0drig0lac]

Duncan triple double, now calling

[SpurPadre]

Brutal...

Yeah, and espn guys just made the comparison.

[Robz4000]

Seriously Manu?

Pops going off.. good to see he's interesting in coaching still...

[SpurPadre]

Thought same thing. Nightmare.

It had to happen against the biggest assholes in the NFL too. Oh well, the NFL's version of the Spurs will beat them to win the Super Bowl anyways.

[Blizzardwizard]

Gobert gon fuck y'all up


Derrick Favors :lol

[GB20]

[ElNono]

damn... how did that stay out?

[ElNono]

[milkyway21]

Utah seems always inspired to beat the Spurs...

Mills 3!

[ElNono]

bench extending the lead... good stuff...

[Budkin]

Hate playing Utah; they always play like its Game 7 against the Spurs.

The whole league plays like that against us.

[100%duncan]

Utah's been doing it since 2012 tho...

[ElNono]

we can't catch a break right now... balls bouncing off our backs... etc

[jeebus]

bench extending the lead... good stuff...
Det Foreign Legion is back

[hitmanyr2k]

The Spurs are putting on a clinic on how to miss layups.

[r0drig0lac]

[Robz4000]

Boner time

[BillMc]

We're looking like last year's team. Can't wait for the froggin'

[100%duncan]

:pinkelephant what was that shot manu??? :pinkelephant

Howbboutbthat? :lol

[ElNono]

great 1st quarter... defense really doing a good job...

[ElNono]

Gotta keep an eye on that Ingles dude... he looked like the best player on the other team...

[RD2191]

Come on Spurs. Should be up 20.

[ElNono]

great D Gino again

[ElNono]

keep missing wide open looks

[RD2191]

Geezus

[milkyway21]

The misses are just ridiculous... Halfway in then the ball goes out again

[ElNono]

ughhh... make the layups

[100%duncan]

Remember when Gobert was gonna go to the Spurs and Utah bought the 27th pic so we could steal him right before y'all did?

Awesome shit bros

Remember when Malone kept on choking against Jordan while Timmy keeps on tapping Lebron's ass?

[TheGreatYacht]

Yawn. Can JaMychal play SG?

[RD2191]

Spurs are shit

[Robz4000]

Spurs can't score...

[ElNono]

Cojo sightning

[ElNono]

Baynes taking Gobert's manhood in the post... :wow

[BillMc]

Boris and Tony need to start talking up this Gobert kid about being a Spur someday. He moves well for his size and seems like he could really develop.

[milkyway21]

They are clogging the middle must make 3s more

Kawhi down

[ElNono]

come on, stop giving up free points

[Silver&Black]

Just got a chance to turn on the game...anything interesting happen in the 1st quarter?

[100%duncan]

Mvwhis cold

[ElNono]

Just got a chance to turn on the game...anything interesting happen in the 1st quarter?

just beating the teams we're supposed to beat

[313]

They are clogging the middle must make 3s more

Kawhi down
What do you mean Kawhi down? Hurt?

[ElNono]

You can tell why Millsap ran as fast and far away from that team as he could...

[Nathan89]

Tony still sucks.

[jeebus]

Offensive abortionball so far

[rasuo214]

What do you mean Kawhi down? Hurt?

Kawhi was fouled and fell down. Looked fine.

[tholdren]

Baynes more rebs in 1st than Tiago will have in game

[TheGreatYacht]

Kobe Leonard, tbh

[ElNono]

why are we still trotting Bonner out there?

[TheGreatYacht]

Kobe Leonard, tbh
JR Leonard

[milkyway21]

What do you mean Kawhi down? Hurt?

Nope but stayed down face down than usual..after he was fouled..

[100%duncan]

I hope the new kid can play instead of Bonbon

[FaM0us Skins]

Good play.

[spursparker9]

Kawhi passing has improved

[ElNono]

Pattythrills back in

[jeebus]

why are we still trotting Bonner out there?
How fast you forget his love affair with Pop over the years.

[100%duncan]

Theae turnovers smh

[ElNono]

How fast you forget his love affair with Pop over the years.

I try not to let it register in my mind

[100%duncan]

Sloppy

[ElNono]

is Danny in the doghouse?

[FaM0us Skins]

That was a bad TO.

[Robz4000]

This is some abortion-level offense...

[ElNono]

we're shooting 41%.... feels like 10%

[RD2191]

we're shooting 41%.... feels like 10%
Tbh

[BillMc]

O is off tonight. Like the D though.

[FaM0us Skins]

Kawhi!

[SpurPadre]

why are we still trotting Bonner out there?

I've been saying that for the past 8 years.

[FaM0us Skins]

Good three by Kawhi.

[r0drig0lac]

kawhi

[Silver&Black]

Kiwi shitting all over da Jazz....

[100%duncan]

Mvp

[RD2191]

Mvkawhi

[ElNono]

Kawhi Superstar

[TheGreatYacht]

Finally Kawhi

[Robz4000]

Leonard singlehandedly blowing this open...

[hater]

damn Parker is back :tu

[jeebus]

lol that's not a flagrant. stop slowing down the game.

[ElNono]

Told you that Ingles was a motherfucker...

[vagabundios]

Utah playing like crap, tbh.

[RD2191]

Tf outta here Tiago

[TheGreatYacht]

Offense looks so smooth when our MVP PG runs it, tbqh

[Silver&Black]

C'mon Tiago....

[100%duncan]

Tiago can be such a pussy sometimes

[milkyway21]

The way the Jazz used their bodies when the Spurs are making lay ups.scary..the Spurs must shot more from the perimeter.

Whoa..was that a flagrant on Kawhi? :cuss
.
Careful Kawhi..you injured your hand against these guys before

[ElNono]

Favors taking jumpers is the best that ever happened to the Spurs

[FaM0us Skins]

Nice pass TD to Splitter.

[tholdren]

Splitter needs to develop his 2 ft game

[ironman2886]

Hate these shitty teams playing hard against the Spurs every fucking game. Every fucking game. Just lay down and take it.

[Silver&Black]

In other news...

Colts TD...down 14-7

[jeebus]

Splitter needs to develop his 2 ft game
he's got that pussy hook where he throws it up around his waistline and always gets blocked

[313]

"@bballbreakdown: I might have figured out what exactly is wrong with Splitter's hook. His hand is on the side of the ball instead of up on fingertips"

I'm not watching the game but is he on to something

[ElNono]

I'll never understand why coach Snyder downgraded from the Toros to this Utah team... probably more money...

[Nathan89]

Patty should start over Tony. Kawhi and ball movement can get us the necessary open looks.

[Robz4000]

Should prolly sit Manu. He's not really helping much tonight and there's always the chance he could hurt himself.

[100%duncan]

I'll never understand why coach Snyder downgraded from the Toros to this Utah team... probably more money...

Damn nono you sure hate the jizz :lol

[ElNono]

Should prolly sit Manu. He's not really helping much tonight and there's always the chance he could hurt himself.

I bet Pop gonna start resting him on back to backs...

[Chomag]

Utah's shit getting pushed back in.

[milkyway21]

Duncan's shoes :tu

[ElNono]

Damn nono you sure hate the jizz :lol

I don't hate them... it's just the truth...

[SpursFan86]

Should prolly sit Manu. He's not really helping much tonight and there's always the chance he could hurt himself.

Yeah...it's a bit harder to rest him big minutes when Belinelli is out too, though.

[FaM0us Skins]

Utah is missing everything lol.

[Robz4000]

I bet Pop gonna start resting him on back to backs...

Prolly not until Beli's back imo, but I wouldn't be opposed to it.

[tholdren]

Quinn Snyder looks like he's been up for a week doing blow off a tranny's ass

[FkLA]

Wing Stop advertisement for Green/Kawhi was on briefly tbh. :lol

[ElNono]

Patty is da bomb

[RD2191]

Utah is missing everything lol.
Spurs aren't far behind.

[FaM0us Skins]

Steal by Patty

[Silver&Black]

27 points at halftime.....

Lock down D.

[ElNono]

MVKawhi

[Robz4000]

Kawow

[ironman2886]

Duncan can't make layups anymore.

[jeebus]

:lol I expected that Bane 3 to go in

[FaM0us Skins]

Good effort by Kawhi. Nice buzzerbeater.

[milkyway21]

buzzer - beater kawhi :elephant :lmao

[ElNono]

This is what I'm saying... the Toros probably post more than 27 points in a half... dunno what coach Snyder was thinking...

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Just another reason why its great to have Kawhi back

[r0drig0lac]

lol..kawhi with 10/8

[SpurPadre]

Manu has made splitting free throws into an art form...either that or a bodily function.

[ironman2886]

Wing Stop advertisement for Green/Kawhi was on briefly tbh. :lol
Saw that. :lol

[loveforthegame]

That Leonard guy sure doesn't bring anything to this team.

[FkLA]

MVPippen

[100%duncan]

What did kawhi do?

[ElNono]

Get it up to 30, then bring in Jaymachaewlakwewewl Green

[Silver&Black]

Wing Stop advertisement for Green/Kawhi was on briefly tbh. :lol

[SpurPadre]

Durant was right about him.

[ElNono]

sad to think a team was better with Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer, tbh...

[ironman2886]

Still a game, Spurfan
Utah plays hard on defense.

[BillMc]

Durant was right about him.

:lol

[hater]

sad to think a team was better with Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer, tbh...

disagree

this team has future. that team had no future

[milkyway21]

That Kawhi halftime buzzer-beater was 1sec almost didn't make it to the score card. Awesome.

[FkLA]

http://i.imgur.com/EQKxYAR.jpg

nice :lol :tu

[ElNono]

disagree

this team has future. that team had no future

what future? perennial lottery team future? They're going to have to let go of some of these guys once they all want the max (lol hayward max player).

A lot of these guys have been in the league for over 5 seasons... the time to "break out" is long gone...

they have some nice players. of course they need a superstar. but they have a brighter future than Boozer + Deron IMO

[ElNono]

they have some nice players. of course they need a superstar. but they have a brighter future than Boozer + Deron IMO

sure, but they've done nothing anywhere near what those guys did when they were running the show...

[hater]

sure, but they've done nothing anywhere near what those guys did when they were running the show...

huh? what did "those guys" do?

[ElNono]

1) most of the world has now accepted that Hayward is playing up to the contract.
2) Burks, Favors, and Hayward are all being retained. Kanter will be let go. Look at our team's salary. We have more than enough money to retain Exum and Gobert.

:lol "playing up to the contract" means what exactly? assuring another high draft pick?

[Mikeanaro]

Lets be real they are far away from playoff material.

[ElNono]

huh? what did "those guys" do?

always made the playoffs with that team? 2nd round?

[FkLA]

You're a complete moron.

Maybe the mormon world has, I don't think the rest of us have.

[hater]

Boozer/Deron Jazz would not smell the playoffs in today's West.

"those guys" didn't do shit

[Brunodf]

[RD2191]

Wtf spurs

[ElNono]

Boozer/Deron Jazz would not smell the playoffs in today's West.

"those guys" didn't do shit

:lol who said "today"? I said:

sad to think a team was better with Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer, tbh...

[milkyway21]

Kawhi losses the ball TO.

[ElNono]

Take it easy on Nono. Bruh has the IQ of a pistachio.

cute to see him back-pedalling now tho.

:lol that's telling me

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Just started watching the game. Spurs playing a bit lazy to start the second half.

[hater]

:lol who said "today"? I said:

sad to think a team was better with Deron Williams and Carlos Boozer, tbh...

they were not better. that's my point.

this Jazz has a bright future.

[ElNono]

they were not better. that's my point.

this Jazz has a bright future.

:lol you don't have to agree with it, they were measurably better by making the playoffs every year...

[jeebus]

Shitter....lawds

[RD2191]

Spurs choking

[Silver&Black]

19/5/4/1.3, with 46% from the field and 37% from 3. In the WCF. With an entry-level max before a looming salary cap hike.

Utah would be a 6 win team this season without Hayward.

Don't use "WCF" around here. That acronym has a different meaning to Jazz fans and Spurs fans.

[SpurAddict561]

Gobert gonna have 20 fucking rebounds

[100%duncan]

Splitter you faggot

[Southwest Texas Fan]

The Jazz are playing hard.

[Robz4000]

Spurs just can't blow it open. Doesn't help they're letting Utah get out to run with retarded shots.

[Brunodf]

Splitter with the bads :bang

[hater]

:lol you don't have to agree with it, they were measurably better by making the playoffs every year...

already posted Booz/Deron had no future. these kids have a bright future. therefore this team is better. you don't have to agree either :lol

[Mikeanaro]

Jazz needs Tony Parker to win it all.

[ElNono]

100% correct. Nono refuses to admit the promise of this Jazz core ad-nauseum, so you might as well give up.

you keep collecting picks with your "bright future", tbh... it works for us, we get easy wins throughout the season... :tu

[SpurAddict561]

Jazz were way better in the Williams/Boozer era wtf

They knocked the Warriors off after GS beat the top seed Mavs

[Brunodf]

Nono jinxing the Spurs :lol

[ElNono]

already posted Booz/Deron had no future. these kids have a bright future. therefore this team is better. you don't have to agree either :lol

:lol Nothing I said was opinion, unlike what you just posted.

[hater]

:lol Nothing I said was opinion, unlike what you just posted.

you said "better" which is opinion

otherwise you probably think the 2011 Spurs were superior to this team because they won 61 games and got #1 seed :lmao

[Robz4000]

Starting to smell like the Pistons game...

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Lots of ball movement.

[ElNono]

you said "better" which is opinion

otherwise you probably think the 2011 Spurs were superior to this team because they won 61 games and got #1 seed :lmao

:lol It's not opinion. They were measurably better: they won more games, they made the playoffs every year. That's better than not making the playoffs almost every year.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Starting to smell like the Pistons game...

Except we didn't have Kawhi.

[ElNono]

need MVPaddy in there

[hater]

:lol It's not opinion. They were measurably better: they won more games, they made the playoffs every year. That's better than not making the playoffs almost every year.

the 2011 spurs won more games too. means they are better than this Spurs? :lol

it's your opinion. I disagree. it's ok.

[100%duncan]

In whose world except for jiz owner and fans is gayward a max player? :lmao :lmao mormons

[Raven]

sup brahs

[TVI]

The Spurs offensive execution sucks tonight

[SpurAddict561]

Nice to see the Banger out there

[ElNono]

the 2011 spurs won more games too. means they are better than this Spurs? :lol

it's your opinion. I disagree. it's ok.

:lol the Spurs have won 50+ games for years... are you really comparing the Spurs with this Utah shitfest? stick to the Gobert/Adams shit threads, tbh...

[Brunodf]

Here comes the killer lineup :bang

[ElNono]

Cojo getting a lot of burn this game for some reason...

[hater]

:lol the Spurs have won 50+ games for years... are you really comparing the Spurs with this Utah shitfest? stick to the Gobert/Adams shit threads, tbh...

the 2011 Spurs won 61 games. This year's team has no chance to even get close to that.

thanks for your opinon. I respectfully disagree :tu

[Mikeanaro]

you said "better" which is opinion

otherwise you probably think the 2011 Spurs were superior to this team because they won 61 games and got #1 seed :lmao
In 2011 during the last RS game old fat ass Grant Hill broke Manu´s arm and that fucked the whole playoffs, and refs let Memphis play physical to kill us.
Duncan looked done his knees were slowing him down, you cant measure a team that always wins 50+ games vs something like Utah which is approaching tanking seriously.

[tholdren]

Splitter is a terrible basketball player and unsure how anyone can think otherwise

[Robz4000]

Spurs are literally only attacking the rim; not even an attempt to get anything going on the perimeter. At least they're generating FTs...

[Silver&Black]

sup brahs

Sup...dem Pats going to another SB?

[FkLA]

19/5/4/1.3, with 46% from the field and 37% from 3. In the WCF. With an entry-level max before a looming salary cap hike.

Utah would be a 6 win team this season without Hayward.

Hes a role player. Someone has to score on bad teams. Im sure Philly has a guy that puts up points too. Looks like he can't even create his own shot consistently.

But I get it...its Utah and he's the great white hope so Im not surprised yall are on board with him getting the max.

[ElNono]

Banger played well so far, but I still wanna see what that kid Green has...

[ElNono]

[FkLA]

Why aren't they posting Kawhi up tbh?

[100%duncan]

Dat passing

[ElNono]

there we go, nice pass Manu

[jeebus]

Get this shit up to 20 so we can see some Green action in the 4th

[milkyway21]

Baynes moves fast I didn't expect from a big body like him ..now near double-double

[ElNono]

defense has been great, tbh... we're gonna hold them to under 50 through 3 quarters...

[Silver&Black]

White Guy who can score + Utah Jazz = Sells a shit load of tickets

[Budkin]

Want to see some J Green in the 4th.

[Brunodf]

Wtf is Manu doing :bang

[Robz4000]

Bench Manu

[tholdren]

bingo

Hayward has a 19.6 per... Leonard is 19.4.... st fu he would be good on any team

[ElNono]

get a patty thrills 3 here

[ElNono]

Hayward has a 19.6 per... Leonard is 19.4.... st fu he would be good on any team

scrub putting up stats on a lottery team... you stfu

[Brunodf]

MANU!! :tu

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Manu making up for that last play.
