Splitter. :lol

[ElNono]

[timtonymanu]

Splitter, are you fucking serious?

[hsxvvd]

Who sits courtside with a baby... wtf?

[Brunodf]

Wtf is this team doing

[beirmeistr]

what wss that, TP?

[ElNono]

But it wasn't a switch was it?

Afflalo set the screen...

[Robz4000]

:lmao Spurs

[james evans]

Yes he totally blew that layup
all he had to do was lob the ball. then he comes down and turns the ball over on an open pass to splitter. when did his fall off occur?

[NASpurs]

Feels like I'm being punked by the Spurs. There's shitty play and then there's this.

[ElNono]

timmy!

[james evans]

damn duncan walked on that

[Silver&Black]

Timmy warming up....

[beirmeistr]

bring in the bench.

[MI21]

Spurs look fucking old, hopefully they can get the W and perhaps have a scheduled loss tomorrow.

[milkyway21]

If we can only make 3s successfully ...

[Brunodf]

Spurs got a call :wow

[Silver&Black]

Timmy warming up....

[ElNono]

good D with Baynes in there

[timtonymanu]

Duncan warming up.

Nice Leonard block!

[pgardn]

Baynes in to mix it up.

[ElNono]

Kawhi hearing it from Pop

[NASpurs]

Yeah sag off Afflalo, Leonard

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you Afflalo

[Silver&Black]

Kawhi....thank you.

[beirmeistr]

aflalo killing the Spurs

[EVAY]

Who had Aflalo on that three? Because Parker was glued to Lawson.

[ElNono]

Who had Aflalo on that three? Because Parker was glued to Lawson.

Kiwi

[Silver&Black]

:wow Leonard 12 rebounds already

[milkyway21]

Leobard 3, rbd &

Another

[james evans]

as soon as parker sits down the offense and ball movement becomes great. fuk.

[EVAY]

Kawhi making some good decisions here.

Damn!! Another foul on Baynes!!

[ElNono]

good foul Baynes

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Looking at the play-by-play and the game at the same time is pretty eye-opening since the Nuggets score keepers are missing a ton of shit.

[EVAY]

Kiwi

Just as he was supposed to have had him on the one we were discussing earlier.

[Brunodf]

:lol Mills wtf

[EVAY]

good foul Baynes

But it is his third.

[Robz4000]

Denver gonna be living at the line the rest of the third...

[NASpurs]

Afflalo torching Leonard.

[ElNono]

Just as he was supposed to have had him on the one we were discussing earlier.

nope

[TDfan2007]

Afflalo is murdering Kawhi out there.

[ElNono]

looks like we're not the only ones struggling with freebies :lol

[pgardn]

Is it possible to stay with Afflalo?

[ElNono]

that's a goaltend, and 1

[Silver&Black]

No goal tending.....good call.

[milkyway21]

Baynes fouled by Faried :lol

[ElNono]

cmon Bobo, little run here

[ElNono]

clear path!!!

[Silver&Black]

That's a clear path foul.....

[Brunodf]

Clear path

[beirmeistr]

clear path to 1 out of 2

[MI21]

clear path to 1 out of 2

:lol

[milkyway21]

The Spurs are not playing their best and atill the Nuggets are trailing...

Manu 2pt FT

NO more TOs pls

[EVAY]

Bad set of decisions by Kawhi on that possession.

[Silver&Black]

:bang 3 sec. violation

[ElNono]

great pass Gino!

[EVAY]

Well done, Manu!

[LakerHater]

Denver refs

[NASpurs]

The bench and Kawhi doing work.

[milkyway21]

Manu to Kawhi for 2

71-65 Spurs

[Silver&Black]

Is Baynes our best FT shooter? Seriously?

[NASpurs]

PJ is boss mentioning the Manu spilt FTs phenomenon lol

[024]

:lol go spurs go chants

[Cry Havoc]

Lets be honest, Baynes is getting the max tbh.

[LakerHater]

WoW, Go Spus Go in Denver

[Brunodf]

Kawhi defense this game :bang

[ElNono]

:wow Baynes

[MI21]

PJ dropping nukes on Manu's FT's :lol

[ace3g]

one way to respond, Baynes !!!

[Silver&Black]

:wow Da Big Banger

[Brunodf]

Baynes doing some work :wow

[milkyway21]

Big Banger dunk bang! :wow

[Silver&Black]

Lets be honest, Baynes is getting the max tbh.

:lmao

[pgardn]

Kawhi defense this game :bang

He is getting caught leaning in looking to help.

[Robz4000]

Defense is beyond pathetic. Same with the rebounding outside Leonard and Baynes to an extent.

[EVAY]

Lets be honest, Baynes is getting the max tbh.

:lol:toast

[beirmeistr]

manu spreading those passes well .

[TDfan2007]

Baynes has played really well tonight. Manu having himself a nice game too.

I love Kawhi's aggressiveness, but he really needs to develop a counter move on those post ups. Can't try and force that hook shot every time.

[ElNono]

And this is our best lineup.... starters have all either zero or negative impact...

[MI21]

Wilt Baynes

[BillMc]

Gotta get a gif of that Baynes dunk.

[BillMc]

Wilt Baynes
:lol

[EVAY]

And this is our best lineup.... starters have all either zero or negative impact...

Agreed. And it is really a function of Manu having a superb game.

[Silver&Black]

Baynes will be tonight's hero

Robz4000 saw this shit early tbh....

[MI21]

Baynes has played really well tonight. Manu having himself a nice game too.

I love Kawhi's aggressiveness, but he really needs to develop a counter move on those post ups. Can't try and force that hook shot every time.

I wish Kawhi would make his move a bit faster. Mix it up obviously, but a quick drop step or a fadeaway as soon as he catches the ball would be nice occasionally.

[Brunodf]

:bang come on Manu, shot clock was expiring

[Cry Havoc]

Bailout, damn the refs pulling hard for the Nugs tonight.

[Silver&Black]

Patty Thrills

[Rescueone]

Where the hell is Danny Green? Oh, ok

[milkyway21]

Mills from Manu 3!

[Cry Havoc]

Mills + Baynes are the two best Spurs tonight. :lol

[Brunodf]

:bang Diaw

[milkyway21]

Those fouls really freaking me out

[moisaenz]

Nelson such a horrible point guard, doesn't pass to faried with the mismatch

[Robz4000]

Fuck these refs

[Brunodf]

Wtf Refs :lol

[NASpurs]

Bullshit calls

[Cry Havoc]

on second thought, damn, Kawhi has 12 boards.

[Silver&Black]

:lmao Denverefs strike again

[Silver&Black]

Baynes has been HUGE tonight....

[Rescueone]

Manu is ball hogging and missing!

[TDfan2007]

Baynes and Manu have been the MVPs tonight.

[Cry Havoc]

Refs are bad but why the fuck does Diaw pass the ball when he's got Afflalo in the post?

[moisaenz]

Baynes playing good minutes

[Silver&Black]

Is Baynes our best FT shooter? Seriously?

[rasuo214]

He is getting caught leaning in looking to help.

Yup Spurs are getting abused in the paint and Kawhi is trying to help but obviously that leaves the 3 open. I'd consider going small ball with Kawhi on Faried.

[pgardn]

Penetration must be dealt with.
Im watching.

[NASpurs]

Just one of those games... Still going to win it though.

[Rescueone]

Sit your ass down Manu, shit!!

[TDfan2007]

At this point I'd much rather have Manu run the pnr if they're on the court together.

[Brunodf]

So many mistakes :bang

[FkLA]

Manu takes some retarded fucking shots sometimes :pctoss

[Silver&Black]

Just one of those games... Still going to win it though.

:tu Damn right....

[EVAY]

Refs are bad but why the fuck does Diaw pass the ball when he's got Afflalo in the post?

I wondered that, too, since Green had made the observation of the mismatch and demanded the ball so that he could pass it to Diaw. Obviously, we all thought that Diaw was going to take Aflalo to the hoop.

[Robz4000]

Just a sloppy game by the Spurs all around. Thought they'd win comfortably but now a loss wouldn't surprise me.

[moisaenz]

Spurs just need to get in the bonus first and feed baynes

[pgardn]

First Spur to get beat to the basket gets a heave ho by coach pgardn.

[BillMc]

Just one of those games... Still going to win it though.

[LakerHater]

& 1!!

[beirmeistr]

they need some energy

[FlAVaK]

Is Baynes our best FT shooter? Seriously?

This seasons best FT shooter has been waived recently :spin

http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/sas/stats/?sort=nba.stat_type.9

[Silver&Black]

Nice start to the 4th...Manu to Timmy under the basket.

[Cry Havoc]

someone better step up in the 4th. PlayJaymachal.jpg?

[EVAY]

Manu's timing on those passes is so quick.

[Cry Havoc]

Beautiful possession to start the 4th.

[ElNono]

kiwi!

[Silver&Black]

Kawow 4 333333333333333333333333333333

[FaM0us Skins]

Kawhi!

[ElNono]

Gino going for the double-double... just win

[Cry Havoc]

Needed that from Kiwi.

[NASpurs]

Kawhi has been very vocal since coming back with the officials.

[LakerHater]

Saw a Smile!

[pgardn]

First Spur to get beat to the basket gets a heave ho by coach pgardn.

who was that damnit, I got caught watching not moving my feet...

[ElNono]

Boris!

[NASpurs]

Bobo!

[Silver&Black]

:bobo 4 333333333333333333333333333333333

[FaM0us Skins]

Good three

[ElNono]

yes!!!

[NASpurs]

Kawhi!

[Cry Havoc]

Diaw 3aw!!!!

[Robz4000]

Kiwi!

[FaM0us Skins]

11-2 run.

[beirmeistr]

kawhi!

[loveforthegame]

What's Leonards career high in rebounds?

[ElNono]

great passing there

[timtonymanu]

This is more like it!

[Silver&Black]

I've got a boner now.....

[pgardn]

Great passing starting with Tim!

Ok Tony saw the mismatch as well

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

17/14 for Leonard

[TDfan2007]

:lol that sign was so nice. "Love You Forever Spurs"

[Brunodf]

Good run :tu

[Capt Bringdown]

That ball movement.

[timtonymanu]

Kawhimvp

[Cry Havoc]

Spurs finally rolling. :danceparty:

[EVAY]

Kawhi's shooting coming back from the first half!

[DapDaGenius]

That was an awesome pass and execution from Danny to Kawhi.

[TDfan2007]

Well this turned quickly. Great to see Kawhi hitting his 3s late in the game. He seems to be in solid game shape.

[Rescueone]

Spurs finally starting to play ball. Now box out!!

[moisaenz]

I am not a believer that Parker hates Kawhi but Parker could have passed the ball to him before diaw

[BillMc]

Kawhi's boards tonight...:bobo

[FkLA]

FMVPippen tbh

[MI21]

:cry flashbacks to game 3 2014 finals
:cry playing the right way
:cry international players
:cry Kawow

[FaM0us Skins]

Spurs ball.

[Capt Bringdown]

Will we ever see the old Parker? Feet of stone.

[FlAVaK]

What's Leonards career high in rebounds?

He had 16 multiple times...

[DapDaGenius]

lol Getting kinda of careless, I guess.

[Brunodf]

Come on Tony...

[BatManu20]

Come onn

[pgardn]

Parker gets fouled and stands there...

[Silver&Black]

That's the TP we need....drive relentlessly to the cup.

[Robz4000]

Smdh Spurs

[pgardn]

Was KL expecting help?
horrible D

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Parker looks like he has enough speed still but is kind of averse to contact right now.

[TDfan2007]

:lol has Tony ever not traveled on a drive?

[loveforthegame]

Was KL expecting help?
horrible D

Look like he was expecting help.

[Brunodf]

:lol Refs doing everything on their power

[Rescueone]

Oh shit, Manu coming back in to keep the game close with his turnovers

[ace3g]

https://s.yimg.com/sr/imgv1/1/03a02b99-57b0-377d-9499-43dcd5ba0015

[MI21]

Parker is extremely disinterested, you see moments where he doesn't look like he has lost much speed and isn't scared of contact... but it isn't often.

Gives me hope he will be fine later on..

[EVAY]

Beautiful pass from Diaw!!

[Capt Bringdown]

Take 'em out!

[loveforthegame]

He had 16 multiple times...

Just looked it up. It's a career high tonight for regular season. 16 for the playoffs.

:tu

[Brunodf]

Why call timeout there :wtf

[Silver&Black]

Oh shit, Manu coming back in to keep the game close with his turnovers

Fuck you for bringing this up.......

But you're exactly right tbh....:lmao

[pgardn]

Parker is extremely disinterested, you see moments where he doesn't look like he has lost much speed and isn't scared of contact... but it isn't often.

Gives me hope he will be fine later on..

He is almost back.
But we don't need him forcing the issue.
Picking his spots is going to be very important in his decisions.

[FlAVaK]

Just looked it up. It's a career high tonight for regular season. 16 for the playoffs.

Ugh manu

[DapDaGenius]

[ElNono]

ugh make freebies, damn

[NASpurs]

:lol Manu

[Brunodf]

:bang Come on manu

[Silver&Black]

Dem Ginobili freebies....wtf?

[ElNono]

Danny just doesn't have it tonight

[beirmeistr]

manu needs hypnosis

[Capt Bringdown]

Why is Duncan still in?

[ElNono]

and1 TD!

[NASpurs]

Pop's short leash with Green is annoying

[timtonymanu]

Manu come on

[ElNono]

Timmy picked up the slack in the 2nd half

[Silver&Black]

Timmy shitting all over the Manimal...

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

My bad. Read the column wrong.

Thanks. :tu

[Brunodf]

Nice Timmy :tu

[FaM0us Skins]

TD

[ElNono]

Spurs need to close this... legs get heavy in the altitude

[NASpurs]

Get this lead up to 18-20 and bring in the bench.

[Silver&Black]

Nice D by CoJo.

[ElNono]

Cojo block

[Rescueone]

Close this game out now!!

[ElNono]

if y'all never been, that Pepsi Center is a damn fine arena, tbh

[Silver&Black]

I :lol every time I hear the "Go Spurs Go" chants.

Denver fans should be ashamed of themselves...

[ElNono]

TP!

[Capt Bringdown]

Send in the clowns, ffs.

[Rescueone]

Ugh box out

[vagabundios]

denver won't attempt a 3 pointer

[EVAY]

50 to 32 points in paint in favor of Denver.

Wow.

But we're going to get the win!

[Silver&Black]

WTF Technical Difficulties????

[Brunodf]

:bang Spurs choking

[Rescueone]

Parker fucking up

[Brunodf]

WHERE IS MANU

[beirmeistr]

bring in Gino

[timtonymanu]

Here comes hero ball. smh.

[ElNono]

hero 3!

[Brunodf]

TONY!!!

[Rescueone]

Way to recover Tony

[Silver&Black]

We keep trading baskets right now....that's okay.

[Cry Havoc]

tony fucking parker.

[atoyotagaspedal]

Is Parker back?

[unleashbaynes]

right in his grill

[Brunodf]

Nice Tony again!!

[ElNono]

I'm gooonnnaaaa beeee yyyooouurrrr hhheeeerrrroooo.... bbbbaaaayyyyybbbbeeeeee

[timtonymanu]

At least he's hitting those.

[EVAY]

TP doing well on those three pointers.

He and Cojo occupying the same space was simply a function of Pop having two pgs in at the same time.

[FaM0us Skins]

Nice Tony:tu

[Cry Havoc]

tony fucking parker.

[TDfan2007]

That right to left pull up by Tony looked great. He has to keep shooting those.

[Brunodf]

Duncan played the entire quarter... Pop should sit him...

[Cry Havoc]

At least he's hitting those.

He's 9-17 on the game.

Green is 2-11 and Manu is 4-12 :pctoss

[ElNono]

this would be a solid win, just wondering what we'll have left in the tank against Chiraq

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Tony icing the game

[EVAY]

I'm gooonnnaaaa beeee yyyooouurrrr hhheeeerrrroooo.... bbbbaaaayyyyybbbbeeeeee


Helps when the hero is shooting 50%, isn't it?

[pgardn]

We are going to win.

But this was not satisfactory. D and defensive rebounding bad.
Put the stat sheet down and ask yourself who played good D.

[Rescueone]

WHERE IS MANU

Manu is right where he needs to be with under 5 minutes to play!!

[NASpurs]

Go away butt nuggets

[ElNono]

Helps when the hero is shooting 50%, isn't it?

Love it. Gonna buy the CD. :lol

[Silver&Black]

Got bailed out with that call.....

[ElNono]

Gino ran outta gas... love TP stepping up here, much needed

[EVAY]

Our best free throw shooter at the line!!
