Game Thread: Spurs at Bulls

[Beaverfuzz]

Good time out.

Parker is getting worked on D...not a flame.

[spursparker9]

Dagger

[Kool Bob Love]

Woah woah timeout timeout!!

[loveforthegame]

FFS. This start.

Get Leonard in the post.

[daslicer]

I always hate playing the bulls because the games tend to be ugly slow grind it out games. This game seems like a loss.

[100%duncan]

What a start shitheads

[TDfan2007]

Yeah...this game looks over. Our guys didn't show up tonight.

[ElNono]

Tony already hidden on somebody else on D, that guy scores... smh

[vagabundios]

good start.......................................

[Robz4000]

Time to rest Duncan until after the ASB. Limit Manu's minutes and let everyone else carry the team.

[crc21209]

Letting an offensively challenged team score all over you...:td

[hater]

And some ppl thought spurs could get the 2nd seed :lol :lmao

[PingPong]

Put the foreign legion + Kawhi or Green. Bad with Splitter, worse without him.

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker/Duncan duo needs to sit the rest of the night

[Darius Bieber]

Time to rest Duncan until after the ASB. Limit Manu's minutes and let everyone else carry the team.

Can't afford to have any more "rest" games if the Spurs wanna make the 8th seed.

[TE]

I always hate playing the bulls because the games tend to be ugly slow grind it out games. This game seems like a loss.
Add the Bulls making shots when they're offensively challenged and you get this result

[ElNono]

I'm afraid it's Bonner time

[Johnny RIngo]

Tony already hidden on somebody else on D, that guy scores... smh

Brooks went off on him. Guess it's Snell's turn now.

[Rescueone]

This start has the making of an embarrassing blowout!!

[Malik Hairston]

Duncan just needs to sit out, he looks way too shitty, tbh..

Baynes/Diaw/Leonard/Green/Mills with Manu/Bonner/Joseph..

[Silver&Black]

MVPau plaing like..................................well MVPau.

[hater]

Parker Duncan look like 42 year old Parish and Lakers Nash tbh

Awful

[TE]

Yeah...this game looks over. Our guys didn't show up tonight.
Still early

[Cry Havoc]

Kawhi 5-10

The rest of the team: 9-29.

:pctoss

[TDfan2007]

Bench Timmy and Tony and go from there. Can't get much worse than what they've given so far tonight.

[EVAY]

The Bulls have 5 blocked shots so far...two on Duncan, two on Ginobili and one on Splitter.

[Beaverfuzz]

Gotta rebound better...bailed by Rose bricking a wide open three.

[timtonymanu]

Stop posting up, Timmy. It's not working against Pau.

[TE]

Can we at least buy a shot?

[100%duncan]

Why do they keep forcing it down Tim?

[Beaverfuzz]

TONY SCORES!

BOW DOWN BITCHES!

[Budkin]

Wave the white flag. Rest up for tomorrow.

[Cry Havoc]

Chip away. Get it down to 7.

[Beaverfuzz]

Good block Danny...Parker looks lost on D...not a flame.

[TE]

wow, giving up a board, fouling. Terrible.

[100%duncan]

Tim cant even jump for a rebound smh

[Robz4000]

Spurs just getting thoroughly outplayed.

[EVAY]

Spurs need to get Butler in more foul trouble.

[timtonymanu]

Duncan better sit out tomorrow, win or lose tonight. This is like post ASB 2009/2010 Tim right now.

[Rescueone]

Put the whole second team in! This first unit looks like shit!!

[Beaverfuzz]

Bulls are doing a great job on the boards. Not much on second chances.

[Cry Havoc]

Good block Danny...Parker looks lost on D...not a flame.

Just curious, is it Parker's job to get the board as well? Because none of are bigs are doing that but you aren't crying about it.

[cjw]

Chicago is going to be in the East Finals if Rose has a pulse. Such a big team.

[TE]

Gasol is outplaying Duncan. It's nasty. Get Tim out of there.

[BatManu20]

It's games like this that remind me that Duncan really is likely going to retire after this season :depressed

[SupremeGuy]

Man, these refs. :lol

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker Duncan look like 42 year old Parish and Lakers Nash tbh

Awful

Duncan's actually close to 40 himself. Parker's 32. What's Tony's excuse?

[Silver&Black]

Looks like Diaw 1.0 showed up tonight....smh

[Cry Havoc]

Terrible shot Kawhi.

[Beaverfuzz]

WTF D was that Bobo?

[MI21]

Timmy has been unfortunately awful, he obviously needs a rest. I would go with Diaw/Splitter.

I would rather just put Tony on Rose, allow Green to float around "defending" Snell.

Offensively, I don't really know, the whole time minus Kawhi has been awful. Wouldn't mind seeing some CoJo tbh, his energy could spark on both ends.

[SupremeGuy]

Man, these refs. :lol:hat

[hitmanyr2k]

Taj is playing like the 2nd coming of Carlos Boozer tonight. Everything he's putting up is soft.

[Rescueone]

Here comes down by 20 real soon!

[TE]

Okay, get Duncan and Parker out. The offense needs a spark. We need to scramble on defense and put a body on somebody when the Bulls attempt a shot.

[timtonymanu]

We might as well throw out our D-League lineup. We have nothing to lose anymore. Our main players are all just too shitty right now.

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan's actually close to 40 himself. Parker's 32. What's Tony's excuse?

Do you realize this is his 16th NBA season?

Yeah, of course you don't. That would require knowledge about the Spurs. :lol

[Beaverfuzz]

Come back.

[timtonymanu]

Taj is playing like the 2nd coming of Carlos Boozer tonight. Everything he's putting up is soft.

Splitter has been worse

[daslicer]

The bulls are controlling the pace of the game. They have made this into a very slow paced type of game which will make it hard for the spurs to comeback.

[BillMc]

My mood is deflating faster than Patriot balls.

[Beaverfuzz]

hahahahaha, great pass Rose!

[beirmeistr]

gasol embarassing duncan

[TE]

Gasol is in feugo

[100%duncan]

Srsly put the 2nd unit plus kawhi in

[Cry Havoc]

We need to seriously man the fuck up on D

[BatManu20]

Bobo can't throw it in the ocean tonight

[loveforthegame]

Diaw has been shit.

[Leetonidas]

Every single Spurs big is playing like absolute shit wtf

[Beaverfuzz]

Duncan bailed out with a block by Gasol.

[Robz4000]

Put the bench in sans Kawhi and Danny.

[hitmanyr2k]

Splitter has been worse

Taj has been worse. He usually finishes very strong at the rim. Splitter has always been a finesse finisher.

[BatManu20]

That was a clean block

[Beaverfuzz]

That looked very clean, I'll take the two free points.

[hitmanyr2k]

Sucks for Pau. He'll get a makeup call when he screams on the other end lol.

[TE]

The bulls are controlling the pace of the game. They have made this into a very slow paced type of game which will make it hard for the spurs to comeback.
It doesnt help that the team is giving up off boards which allows them to get out and run. Once the Bulls are set defensively, it's difficult to get a good shot when the players are playing the way they are.

[Silver&Black]

Cheryl Miller's brother dropping truf nukes about MVPau right now....

[timtonymanu]

Sit Tim and Tony, already

[Malik Hairston]

I hate the slow-paced offense when Duncan and Parker are out there, especially when Duncan is struggling like he is tonight..

Need to get the spaced-out, quicker lineups in there against a mediocre defense like this one..

[Beaverfuzz]

Manu, Father Time is not your friend. Yikes!

[loveforthegame]

What is this offense. :depressed

[Cry Havoc]

"There were people in that Laker org that didn't believe in Pau."

Yeah, their starting SG. :lol

[spursparker9]

I miss the FIBA Derrick Rose...

[100%duncan]

Wtf tim

[SupremeGuy]

Put the bench in sans Kawhi and Danny.This, tbh. The old guys just don't have it tonight.

[Beaverfuzz]

Three Spurs standing around. Bulls want this game more.

[hitmanyr2k]

Gibson must be hurt or something. He's hardly getting any lift on his shots.

[Beaverfuzz]

Bring in Ja'Mychal

[daslicer]

It doesnt help that the team is giving up off boards which allows them to get out and run. Once the Bulls are set defensively, it's difficult to get a good shot when the players are playing the way they are.

Agreed they have given up a lot of second chance points It also hurts the bulls are getting easy buckets inside of the paint.

[spursparker9]

Unleash JaMycal Green

[timtonymanu]

Throw in the towel. Ugh the effort is absolutely pitiful tonight.

[100%duncan]

SIT TIMMY AND DIAW

[Rescueone]

Raise the white flag!!

[Kool Bob Love]

No lie we coming back...

[KaiRMD1]

I don't think the Spurs showed up to play tonight. But hey, Kobe quits, I'm happy for today

[EVAY]

They are playing harder and smarter than we are.

We knew coming in that they had just been badly embarrassed and had been called out. They came in with all the emotion, and we are not hitting and not matching their energy.

It is not on any one player.

[Cry Havoc]

Manu with the "why not" 3. :lol

[BatManu20]

Timmy's definitely not being named and all-star reserve after this game lol

[Beaverfuzz]

Layup drill.

[Malik Hairston]

Is Pop ever going to change the lineup? Clearly these units are playing with no energy, yet he is keeping them on the floor..

[100%duncan]

:lmao just quit man

[daslicer]

It seems like the last 10 or 12 points the bulls have gotten have been inside of the paint.

[loveforthegame]

:td

[td4mvp21]

Literally every other remotely good team (even the Cavs) have made the Bulls look horrible :lol

[Mugen]

:lol Please take the old guys out, Pop.

[MI21]

Just give up Spurs, empty the bench tbh, rest the starters...

[ElNono]

we're fine, tbh.... 26-3 run incoming...

[Richie]

Props to the Bulls, they've shut us down defensively.

[BackHome]

Man Diaw is getting abused by Gibson ........might as well put in Baynes he won't be able to push him around like he is Bobo

[BatManu20]

We just look old as fuck tonight. Tony and Timmy both look like geriatrics.

Time to make a blockbuster trade IMO.

[beirmeistr]

Sit Tim and Tony, already

please, Pop. its national tv.

[Rescueone]

Zero effort!!

[hater]

:lol Spurs. Don't even want to play anymore :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Was hoping for a motivating speech from Pop at halftime.

We just don't have the legs tonight.

[daslicer]

Spurs came with terrible energy for this game and it shows.

[exstatic]

Why is Diaw in the game? His offense is way off, and he can't check Taj...

[Beaverfuzz]

Pull a Pistons and just walk off the court.

[Fireball]

everybody is healthy, no b2b, blown out by a slumping Bulls team ... season is over tbh

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

The offense looks like a joke seriously

[DJR210]

I thought Jamychal Green meant we were going undefeated for the rest of the season?

[100%duncan]

Lol bonner being the pussy that he is

[Malik Hairston]

Duncan and Diaw have no business being on the floor, they're playing with no energy and getting destroyed in the paint..

Manu is coasting, too, sit him..

[ElNono]

:lol now Matty won't shoot it

[pgardn]

Who wants this game more?

Its painfully obvious. Tibs, you have a way.

[BackHome]

Who said Gasol wasn't worth going after???

[loveforthegame]

Bonner not shooting. :lol

[hater]

:lmao spurs

[NASpurs]

Pop is a faggot moron. The bench should have came in three or four minutes into the third quarter. Fucking Poop.

[crc21209]

One of those nights. Not one Spur is playing well outside of Leonard. Plus this was coming, with the Wizards blowing out Chicago and Rose giving his rah rah speech. Maybe this ass kicking will finally wake this fucking team up...

[ironman2886]

And fans think Tim is gonna play another season. Yeah right.

[Beaverfuzz]

Sign Gibson for the MAX.

[BatManu20]

I think Pop is rubbing it in the starters faces.

[timtonymanu]

Rooting for Chicago to keep up the blowout. I don't like it when the Spurs take games off like this.

[Darius Bieber]

Yo where are all the homer fans at? I told you guys.

[Silver&Black]

:yield

[EVAY]

Except for the fact that we are losing to him, the basketball fan in all of us has to appreciate watching what Derrick Rose is showing tonight.

This is why he was a MVP one year.

[crc21209]

everybody is healthy, no b2b, blown out by a slumping Bulls team ... season is over tbh

Predictable after the Bulls got blown out the other night and Rose gave his rah rah speech tbh..

[spursparker9]

Rose > Jim Butler

[Leetonidas]

Really odd timing of such a piss poor effort considering how they've played pretty well recently. Maybe the Bulls are that desperate to play hard after their shit show the other night but that doesn't explain why they all look mentally checked out except Leonard, who they're not even going to. Oh well, empty the bench, get some energy in there and see what happens. On to the next game

[Rescueone]

We just look old as fuck tonight. Tony and Timmy both look like geriatrics.

Time to make a blockbuster trade IMO.

The sooner the better!!

[exstatic]

I think Pop is rubbing it in the starters faces.

Could be. We have a B2B tomorrow, though, so he shouldn't over do it.

[itzsoweezee]

And fans think Tim is gonna play another season. Yeah right.

Yeah, Tim looks like a shell of himself. Guy is barely moving out there.

[daslicer]

Rose is having a break out game today which is very frustrating considering he has been pretty shitty the whole entire year. It sucks it has come at the spurs expense.

[Kool Bob Love]

Yo where are all the homer fans at? I told you guys.

Still here brah. We ain't losing this one.

[Beaverfuzz]

RING IT UP PATTY THRILLS!

[Mugen]

Jamychalllllllll sighting

[Robz4000]

Will the Bulls double up the score on the Spurs tbh? First time the Spurs have been blown out this year at full strength. Might as well make it as embarrassing as possible.

[TheGreatYacht]

Yeah. Don't turn on ESPN tommorow

"Did Rose inspire the Bulls with his comments?"
"Are the Spurs in trouble?"
"Is Chicago back?"

[Malik Hairston]

Terrible effort + terrible coaching + fluke game from Rose = embarrassing loss, tbh..

[EVAY]

I think Pop is rubbing it in the starters faces.

Plus, I think he is planning on sitting most all of them tomorrow night.

[vagabundios]

I think this team needs to hit the floor before getting up again. No effort at all.

[Beaverfuzz]

Cut it to 14 by end of quarter.

[pgardn]

Rooting for Chicago to keep up the blowout. I don't like it when the Spurs take games off like this.

It was so easy until you come up against a very determined team.

[itzsoweezee]

About time our best point guard and most explosive scorer gets into the game.

[DJR210]

The Spurs should change their shooting shirt to say "fat" instead

[Beaverfuzz]

STEP BACK
PATTY THRILLS!!!!

[ace3g]

Green in!!!

[100%duncan]

MVPatty.

[hitmanyr2k]

Patty Mills is why I'm not celebrating yet lol.

[BillMc]

I'd hate to be the Lakers tomorrow.

[Beaverfuzz]

GREAT BLOCK!!!

[Malik Hairston]

Yo where are all the homer fans at? I told you guys.

You told everybody last year, too:lol..nice job, bro..

[ace3g]

Green block

[Beaverfuzz]

TIAGO BABY!!!

17

[Silver&Black]

:wow "The other Green" block

[TheGreatYacht]

My nigga JaMychal, tbh

[Beaverfuzz]

Bench is playing with much more energy.

[ace3g]

Green still in as SF, interesting

[timtonymanu]

Oh look a lineup that gives a shit and our effort looks better.

Sit Tim, Tony, and Manu for the rest of the night.

[ElNono]

we're fine, tbh.... 26-3 run incoming...

[crc21209]

Yeah, Tim looks like a shell of himself. Guy is barely moving out there.

:lol He's probably been the best Spur all year. Not his fault he had to play more mins the last couple months because Kawhi was out and Tony was out with a hurt asscheek. Tim has carried the team so far...

[exstatic]

Except for the fact that we are losing to him, the basketball fan in all of us has to appreciate watching what Derrick Rose is showing tonight.

This is why he was a MVP one year.

He's not a 3 point shooter, so when he's dropping them, he's still unguardable.

[loveforthegame]

That was a nice block by Green.

[Rescueone]

Why can't the starters play with the energy as the second team??

[hater]

Nice we can see GreenDos play all quarter

Make it respectable fellas.

[KaiRMD1]

Keep this group in there, they actually care.

[BatManu20]

Big run by the Spurs. Only down 17 now lol

[Nathan89]

Green is a difference maker tbh.

[ElNono]

Why can't the starters play with the energy as the second team??

coasting

[pgardn]

Bench is playing with much more energy.


No doubt.

[Beaverfuzz]

My nigga JaMychal, tbh

Get that homeless shelter a space heater after that block!

[timtonymanu]

I'd hate to be the Lakers tomorrow.

Well, maybe the Spurs are going to take them lightly again like the last time they played them.

[hater]

Why can't the starters play with the energy as the second team??

Because the Bulls brought out their scrubs too.

[itzsoweezee]

Popovich's disrespect of Patty is just downright ridiculous. There's no justification for 7 players to have more playing time than him this game.

[PingPong]

Take Bonner out, bring Diaw in, let the foreign legion playing by the automatic pilot.

[Robz4000]

Love watching the full bench unit; even when they can't shoot at least they clearly give a shit. Maybe they can get something going.

[Sean Cagney]

Rose is having a break out game today which is very frustrating considering he has been pretty shitty the whole entire year. It sucks it has come at the spurs expense.

It seems this happens routinely against the Spurs no joke.

[Malik Hairston]

Just an example of a very poorly coached game, tbh..

Pop finally puts out a lineup that is playing with some energy and they make a mini-run..

I have no idea why he kept using the same units after they played with such poor effort..

[Richie]

Everything has been going towards the basket, the Bulls have packed the paint with Gasol and Gibson. Shooters would be wide open if they were spotting up, our spacing has been horrific.

[ironman2886]

If pop rests starters tomorrow, lakers win.

[crc21209]

Well, maybe the Spurs are going to take them lightly again like the last time they played them.

After that last time, I dont think so..

[ElNono]

after we win this game, who are we playing next?

[spurtech09]

wow whats the deal .....spurs barely have points...

[timtonymanu]

Just an example of a very poorly coached game, tbh..

Pop finally puts out a lineup that is playing with some energy and they make a mini-run..

I have no idea why he kept using the same units after they played with such poor effort..

The way he's running Duncan into the ground is not like him. If he plays tomorrow, I don't know what to think.

[Diego20]

--

[Beaverfuzz]

Just curious, is it Parker's job to get the board as well? Because none of are bigs are doing that but you aren't crying about it.

Yes, Parker should be doing it all.

I've been complaining about the big men as well.

[crc21209]

Green!

[spurtech09]

after we win this game, who are we playing next?so the spurs are going to win

[ace3g]

Green again

[Fireball]

Why can't the starters play with the energy as the second team??sorry, but in the first half the bench players had no effect ... Pop should have brought them in earlier in the third, but its not like they played better than the starters in the 1st half

[ironman2886]

Damn. Green.

[Diego20]

edit

[BatManu20]

after we win this game, who are we playing next?

I was hoping we'd win tonight so we could sit everyone tomorrow night and give the lakers a W to hurt their draft stock, but it appears that's not the case.

[Silver&Black]

1st two points as a Spur. Hopefully many more to come.......

[ironman2886]

Can secure a rebound or steal.

[beirmeistr]

Why can't the starters play with the energy as the second team??
because the only enrrgetic starter is Kawhi.

[100%duncan]

Oh lookie a line up that cares. Fkn Pop

[Kool Bob Love]

:rollin

[timtonymanu]

Jaymachal sure looks better than the clanking 3's that Daye throws up.

[Rescueone]

J Green is showing something

[Budkin]

Why can't the starters play with the energy as the second team??

Gassed from playing too much during the injuries.

[crc21209]

Refs with the touch fouls...

[timtonymanu]

I was hoping we'd win tonight so we could sit everyone tomorrow night and give the lakers a W to hurt their draft stock, but it appears that's not the case.

:lol Fuck that. I'm still pissed about the Nick Young 3.

[DJR210]

Damn, Jamychal with some good shot blocking

[Nathan89]

Cojo > tp and doesn't get to play:lol

[cjw]

The way he's running Duncan into the ground is not like him. If he plays tomorrow, I don't know what to think.

It's okay, we got JaMychal to spot him minutes now.

[crc21209]

It sure wouldve been nice to see this lineup when there were 7-8 mins left in the 3rd qtr instead of 3 mins...

[Budkin]

:lol at people who were upset we got rid of Daye.

[Johnny RIngo]

Patty with more points than Parker in nearly half the playing time. Pop killed any chance the Spurs had of winning this game with that horrible rotation to start the 3rd.

[Harry Callahan]

Worst game of the year. The bench at least will show fire.

According to Reggie M, Tony Parker is still injured?

There is no explosion to Parkers game at all. He is a ball pounding jump shooter right now.

It's sad to watch the guy limp around.

[BatManu20]

:lol Fuck that. I'm still pissed about the Nick Young 3.

:lol he's been complete dog shit since that game too. Been arguably their worst starter not named Kobe.

[Beaverfuzz]

Well 17 isn't that bad...oh yes it is.

[100%duncan]

Mehhh atleastbwe get to see some jmychal

[timtonymanu]

:lol at people who were upset we got rid of Daye.

There were people upset? :lol

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

That reverse layup by Green was pretty cool though

[hater]

Good job bench!!!

GreenDos :wow GOAT

[Beaverfuzz]

:lol Fuck that. I'm still pissed about the Nick Young 3.

Which one? All of them sucked ass.

[ElNono]

this is still a game... good run there at the end of the 3rd...

[crc21209]

If Pop keeps this lineup in, the Spurs will cut it to and 8, 6 pt game at some point in the 4th. Book it..

[Johnny RIngo]

+7 Patty
-24 Parker

yikes

[daslicer]

Keep the second unit in and see what they can do since they have more energy than the starters.

[Fireball]

why did I get up for that shit?

[TDfan2007]

Timmy absolutely needs to sit tomorrow. He's looking 2011 bad right now.

Also, this Green guy looks really solid and athletic, especially defensively. Good shotblock timing.

[Nathan89]

Jgreen needs more offensive touches

[NASpurs]

+7 Patty
-24 Parker

yikes

Shit makes me wanna throw up...

[moisaenz]

Cojo should have been in way sooner

[ElNono]

Spurs need to waive this D-League scrub and sign Tayshawn Prince, tbh...

[hater]

2 blocks from GreenDos and a sick sick reverse fingerroll

[Budkin]

Keep the "big 3" on the bench please.

[Fuzzy Dunlop]

+7 Patty
-24 Parker

yikes

:cry but he's 4-9. he's not shooting as bad as other players.

[TheGreatYacht]

Manu Ginobili - 2pts, 1/6 FG, 1 assist, -12

yikes

[look_at_g_shred]

Can we sit Tony till the playoffs?

[Beaverfuzz]

+7 Patty
-24 Parker

yikes

There's your stat Havoc!

[Malik Hairston]

Spurs need to just launch 3s for the entire 4th, tbh:lol..

Mills
DG
Leonard
Bonner
Baynes

[Venti Quattro]

+7 Patty
-24 Parker

yikes

:downspin: this shit hater :lmao :lmao

[EVAY]

+7 Patty
-24 Parker

yikes

well, as long as we are quoting numbers, Kawhi is at a -27

Double Yikes!!

[look_at_g_shred]

Lol^

[Silver&Black]

I want to punch Chris or Cliff Paul right in his faggot face

[Beaverfuzz]

90 points wins this.

[Budkin]

:lol he's been complete dog shit since that game too. Been arguably their worst starter not named Kobe.

He's not playing the Spurs. Just look at the Bulls. Playing the worst ball in the league until we roll into town... the curse of being the champs but I'll take it. 5.
