Game Thread: Spurs at Bulls

[100%duncan]

Aaaaand patty's cold

[Ditty]

Omg patty mills sucks

[FlAVaK]

+7 Patty
-24 Parker

yikes

Kawhi -27

[Harry Callahan]

The Spurs look like they are in quicksand tonight. Yuck.

[Diego20]

Cut J.Green imo






:lmao

[TE]

Gotta go on a run here.

[hater]

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

yikes


Whole team played like shit. No need to point fingers.

But yes Evita was a ghost out there

[Perry Mason]

+7 Patty
-24 Parker

yikes

-27 Leonard.

Which is why raw +/- is used by nobody.

[Beaverfuzz]

Eat that shit Gibson.


And where the fuck did Kirk Dipshit take off to?

[NASpurs]

I've been watching this whole game on mute after the ball deflation crap

[ironman2886]

Long jump shots?

[100%duncan]

Patty should just shoot 3's. Long 2s are very inefficient

[TE]

We need better shots mills

[Beaverfuzz]

GREEN IS THE GARBAGE MAN!

[Beaverfuzz]

Brooks is a scrub.

A fucking duck scrub.

[BatManu20]

JaMychal Green is an under-skilled tweener, but I'll take his high energy & effort over Daye's corpse out there hovering above the 3-point line any day.

[SupremeGuy]

+7 Patty
-24 Parker

yikes:lmao

[Rescueone]

Ok run for the buses!!

[ElNono]

make a lil run here

[Kool Bob Love]

Kawhi looks disappointed.

[TE]

Every single fucking time they drive it's some bullshit touch foul. Hate that shit. Brooks is like 110 pounds, he's going to fall.

[SupremeGuy]

Oh well, now I just want this game to fucking end quickly so I can crash out.

[spurtech09]

game is pretty much over.....spurs just don't have it right now.....

[TheGreatYacht]

Old man Ringo keeps on getting shitted on :lol

[EVAY]

-27 Leonard.

Which is why raw +/- is used by nobody.

It is regularly used by people who don't seem to know better, or who forget that Matt Bonner has been the king of +/- his entire career. Still hasn't made him anything other than a third string player.

[Richie]

Green has thrown up two horrible shots early in the shot clock, dude's getting cut

[Beaverfuzz]

COJO

AND1


HERE WE GO BOYS!

[Fireball]

bench changed from bringing energy to chucking bad shots ... game over

[daslicer]

Shit game overall especially defensively in the second half by giving up second chance points to the bulls and allowing easy buckets in the paint

[ElNono]

Butler trying to pad stats in garbage time... that fraud is disgusting

[Perry Mason]

this game sucks. everyone looks terrible. why does brooks make all kinds of garbage and we can barely buy a bucket.

[Johnny RIngo]

-27 Leonard.

Which is why raw +/- is used by nobody.

Leonard's not a point guard. Play Mills instead of Tony to start the 2nd and this game is much closer.

[TE]

rofl Thibs still playing DRose

[Beaverfuzz]

HEY, THERE'S KIRK DIPSHIT!

[ironman2886]

Coach Thibs. What a prick.

[beirmeistr]

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

prince would fit in nicely with the Spurs, but I dont think he eill come here.

[TE]

Another foul

[Beaverfuzz]

Baynes has five fouls? I must have missed something, seriously...

[crc21209]

Thibs will never win a championship. Always running his guys into the ground..

[daslicer]

Spurs are sucking in this game but these refs are also shitty with their touch foul calls.

[ElNono]

prince would fit in nicely with the Spurs, but I dont think he eill come here.

I was kidding, tbh

[Diego20]

It is regularly used by people who don't seem to know better, or who forget that Matt Bonner has been the king of +/- his entire career. Still hasn't made him anything other than a third string player.

No he's not, and +/- is not a good stat for those who plays 5 minutes per game like Ayres, etc.

[hitmanyr2k]

Butler trying to pad stats in garbage time... that fraud is disgusting

How? :lol He hasn't taken a shot and he's moving the ball around.

[EVAY]

Leonard's not a point guard. Play Mills instead of Tony to start the 2nd and this game is much closer.

Mills is 3 of 10.

Parker is 4 of 9.

[Silver&Black]

Baynes has five fouls? I must have missed something, seriously...

He does? TBH...I didn't notice them either. And I've watched the entire game....

[spurtech09]

this game blows

[ElNono]

How? :lol He hasn't taken a shot and he's moving the ball around.

:lol what's he doing out there against our 3rd string guys?

[Beaverfuzz]

He does? TBH...I didn't notice them either. And I've watched the entire game....

That's what Marvelous just said. Five fouls. I remember just two...and that includes the last one.

[TheGreatYacht]

Leonard -27
J. Green +6

yikes

[Russ]

I'll take this over a close loss . . .

[spurtech09]

Spurs are sucking in this game but these refs are also shitty with their touch foul calls.you think

[PingPong]

Here cames Ayers the saviour.

[TE]

Leonard -27
J. Green +6

yikes
:lmao

[Nathan89]

Green has thrown up two horrible shots early in the shot clock, dude's getting cut

Better shots than patty is taking.

[hitmanyr2k]

:lol what's he doing out there against our 3rd string guys?

Just playing. It's not like he's chucking shots out there.

[Harry Callahan]

Thibs will never win a championship. Always running his guys into the ground..

Agreed. He has no clue about taking the gas off the pedal at times. He thinks like a college coach.

It'd would almost be funny if rose screwed his legs up overplaying him.

The Bulls will probably get beat by 40 tomorrow in Dallas.....

[Beaverfuzz]

It's the fucking red FIT shirts...burn those now.

[Silver&Black]

The most obvious goaltending in NBA history....No call.

[Beaverfuzz]

That's a goaltend...off the glass.

[timtonymanu]

Thibs with the usual overplaying of starters

[EVAY]

Get the W.

Might do some game grades from work if I have downtime. :tu

Don't waste your time or talent tonight, CH. The team didn't bring it, and that's about all there is to say tonight.

[ohmwrecker]

Another TNT tank job by the Spurs.

[Mugen]

:lol blatant goaltend

[ElNono]

Just playing. It's not like he's chucking shots out there.

:lol guarded by a D-League guy... watch him inflate his scoring to 20 now

[Beaverfuzz]

Hop skip and a jump for CoJo.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Third quarter defense was bad, but a lot of that was just the Bulls making tough shots and abusing bad match ups. Offense is almost like everyone is going through the motions, hoping that good looks are just gonna appear rather than creating good looks.

[ElNono]

:lmao I called this shit

[Darius Bieber]

Watch the Mavs destroy these Bulls tomorrow.

[Malik Hairston]

Refs have been extremely bad in the 4th quarter, tbh..Spurs getting nothing, while Aaron Brooks getting calls like he's Jordan:lol..

[Beaverfuzz]

what do you expect

[Johnny RIngo]

Mills is 3 of 10.

Parker is 4 of 9.

Parker fans still using the archaic FG%. Mills is actually slightly more efficient tonight.

Mills:

12 pts on 51 TS%
4 asts
+5

Parker

9 pts on 50 TS%
3 asts
-24

[Mugen]

the sexual tension between Reggie and Grant is oft-putting tbh.

[timtonymanu]

Jamychal's doin' some things tbh.

Yep, it's better than watching Daye miss all his wide open 3's. :lol

[DJR210]

:lol Why does it not suprise me that Reggie's gay ass ignored the fact that Butler blocked Green's layup after it hit the backboard?

[Malik Hairston]

Watch the Mavs destroy these Bulls tomorrow.

Mavs will easy beat them, old Pau leading a Bulls team on a back-to-back and playing vs. a Spurs team playing with minimal effort..

[Budkin]

Jamychal's doin' some things tbh.

Only bright spot tonight.

[pgardn]

This kind of butt whooping can be very helpful. God hath returned and we still get abused.

[Silver&Black]

Also, Patty is playing against a 20-point deficit where the team needed him to launch contested 3s..it was too late to run the normal offense, at that point..

[Beaverfuzz]

See, FUCK YOU KIRK DIPSHIT!!!

[beirmeistr]

hope tomorrow's game is not on national tv

[Darius Bieber]

Nah, national TV wouldn't telecast two shitty teams playing.

[Beaverfuzz]

No, no Tim Duncan in all star game. Although he wouldn't play much...

[Silver&Black]

Thibs still playing Gasol and Butler in a game that was over in the 3rd. Ridiculous coach.

[Beaverfuzz]

Verde even fucked up that pass.


Ok, no more hate on TP...HATE ON VERDE!

[DJR210]

Well, on a positive note.. J. Green has shown more defensively tonight than Daye did in his entire stint w/ the Spurs :tu

They shouldn't scare you because spurs aren't going to the finals.

[ElNono]

:lol Had 8 points in horrible shooting before garbage time...

[Beaverfuzz]

Oh look at that, Kirk Dipshit and everyone's favorite referee Scott Foster are buddy buddy. Two should be in prison pumping each other.

[Darius Bieber]

26 points halfway through the 2nd quarter against the Bulls. That's pathetic. Gonna be another loss.


:wakeup:wakeup:wakeup:wakeup:wakeup:wakeup:wakeup

Butler is more than a role player but I agree he's not worth max money but this is a league of overpaid players these days.

They all want to go home.

Would have happened with 11:55 to go in the first quarter as well.

Fuck outta there Pop. Hugging Thibs and Gasol. Fucking soft SOB.

[look_at_g_shred]

Ayres can't even make a point blank layup!! Green had to grab the rebound and show how it is done.

He's a bench guy, tops... overrated as hell

Time to play NBA2K15 to keep my 60 winning streak

[loveforthegame]

Not at all. Some Spurs fans here would rather have Butler over Leonard.

Leonard clearly outplayed him in the first half. Butler got his in garbage minutes against our scrubs.

I only made the comment that some will look at the box score and make an argument that Butler scooped Leonard.

[Darius Bieber]

This team won't get 50 wins this season.

[Johnny RIngo]

jimmy butler doing his best enrique impression. stat padding when the game is already decided. cry havoc probably thinks he played great tonight. :lol

cry havoc doesn't even watch the games. His idea of bball analysis is checking the box score and looking at the points/FG% columns. Like his retarded take about Parker being one of the most important players in last year's playoffs based on leading the team in ppg

:lmao

[Malik Hairston]

Jimmy Butler is a really good player, tbh, but I was discouraged by his playoff choking from last year against a Wizards team that wasn't anything special..he got outplayed by an average player in Bradley Beal, and he couldn't generate any offense from a Bulls team that was desperate for points..

[ironman2886]

A team with no Duncan or Manu next year, and an average Tony Parker is gonna suck. Timmy and Manu can't last another year.

[hitmanyr2k]

Leonard was matched directly against Butler in the third quarter and didn't do anything though.

[100%duncan]

He's a bench guy, tops... overrated as hell

I disagree. He'd make a good #3 option on a championship team imho.

[ElNono]

Jimmy Butler is a really good player, tbh, but I was discouraged by his playoff choking from last year against a Wizards team that wasn't anything special..he got outplayed by an average player in Bradley Beal, and he couldn't generate any offense from a Bulls team that was desperate for points..

Yup. Tonight was a typical Butler game against a good team: he got shut down, but he had to go out there pad his numbers in garbage time...

I can't blame him though, he's playing for a contract, the numbers ultimately matter for that.

[hitmanyr2k]

He was never asked to be a scorer last year. That wasn't his role. He put in the work in the offseason and made himself a viable offensive player to go along with his defense. Can't fault that.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard was matched directly against Butler in the third quarter and didn't do anything though.

He was matched up in the 1st half too. The Spurs were feeding him, setting screens, and looking for him the post. The second half he got 2 shots and was mostly ignored. Had nothing to do with Butler but his own team not looking for him. Strange after the 2nd quarter he had.

[RD2191]

Lol, Spurs. Scrubs.

If you think that was a typical Butler game you're blind with your dislike for the guy lol. It's as simple as that. Kawhi is playing for a contract as well and he didn't do jack in the 2nd half but many people think he's a max player.

Pretty Athletic

[silverblackfan]

That was one of the crappiest efforts I have seen from the team in a while. I actually stopped watching in the 3rd quarter. It was obvious that the team was not there. Tony looks like crap and the offense is dysfunctional when he is running it. I would rather have CoJo putting in effort on defense than Tony just dribbling around, but not attacking. Boris was pretty awful too. If only he could be relied on for a 3 point shot, things would open up a bit, but everyone knows he will fake and dribble off the 3pt line. Tim is tired.
Crap effort.
Hopefully, they can get home and get back some confidence. Only Leonard looked ready to play tonight.

[look_at_g_shred]

Good thing we okay tomorrow. Easy to forget this loss.

Tony destroys ball movement and Many is simply awful, but it looks like Pop has no choice but to run with them since they have no trade value at all.

[Legacy]

The Bulls were definitely on a mission tonight. Rose's bitchfit drama caused a major stir and of course, they took it out on the champs. Oh well...

[Chillen]

This is the only matchup in the NBA where I am fine with whoever wins. Even if they met in the Finals and say the Spurs won, or Bulls beat the Spurs, wouldn't matter. I am a Bulls/Spurs fan so either way I am happy with the outcome. I wish the Spurs didn't fold in the 2nd half though, Bulls just rolled them tonight.

[Sean Cagney]

I wish he signed here but oh well he chose CHI and they are one of the best teams in the East IMO and have a shot at the finals. Pau is a very good player though, no hate from one game they dominated my fave team.

[Infinite_limit]

Oh spursfan, you are too nice

It obviously meant MUCH more for Bulls fan [myself] than you. I found T.T playing the backups to counter Pops backups hilarious. Hopefully we meet you in the finals, ultimately because you are the champs!

[milkyway21]

the Spurs lost ?? :cry

I thought that with almost all of them are now healthy we can beat those guys easily.

Not fair to Manu to throw him under the bus alongside Enrique. He's actually been really good this season...especially considering how old he is. Tony has no excuse. Only 32 years old, highest paid player on the team and he gives us worse production than our backup point guards

[Infinite_limit]

When the smoke clears, "The Good Guys" will be victorious, and the wicked will perish. Everyone relax, sit back , have a couple of XXX, and enjoy the ride...our Spurs will be there and the losers will keep whining for a foul, after all that's what Paulette's problem, a perennial PMS playing with men...we didn't match the Bulls intensity, and the refs rewarded them...let see what happens in a couple of months...Go Spurs!

Good guys / bad guys

Am I watching CNN/Fox News

Team got blown the fuck out when Parker was on the floor. At least Mills was a plus when he was on the floor.

Team got blown the fuck out when Kawhi was on the floor too.

Team got blown the fuck out when Duncan was on the floor too.


Team got blown the fuck out when Splitter was on the floor too.


Team got blown the fuck out when Diaw was on the floor too.

Why do you focus on only one player constantly, constantly, constantly?

Aside from Splitter, all those guys have actually been pretty good all season. It becomes a pattern when one player continues to drag the team down night after night. But yeah, keep making excuses for Tony's shit play.

It is regularly used by people who don't seem to know better, or who forget that Matt Bonner has been the king of +/- his entire career. Still hasn't made him anything other than a third string player.

There isn't a single metric that supports Enrique being a good player, not one. For Kawhi it's the complete opposite where you can't find a single one that suggest he isn't a great player. So for Kawhi it's pretty safe to assume it's just a glitch most likely attributed to playing most of his minutes alongside a really bad PG...for Enrique it's pretty much just the norm.

Aside from Splitter, all those guys have actually been pretty good all season. It becomes a pattern when one player continues to drag the team down night after night. But yeah, keep making excuses for Tony's shit play.

Go back and check the earlier game threads. I wasn't defending Parker at all. I was criticizing him for some stupid decisions and for looking lackluster as well.

My ONLY point in all of these damn threads is that he is always pointed to as the ONLY reason the Spurs lose, whether he is playing or not.

I don't make excuses for Parker when he he is bad. But, contrary to your approach, I also don't blame him when OTHER players make bad decisions or play poorly. You blame him exclusively and constantly and that is what makes me point out that he is not the only problem. According to you and a couple of others on here, if Tony were not our pg we would be winning 82 games a season.

I agree with you FOR THIS SEASON. And for part of last season as well. TP has been disappointing all season this year when he has played. No doubt. And Kawhi is coming on as the best player on the team. Agree totally.

My point is that some of you guys ONLY point to TP's metrics as evidence of his bad play and in fact, he was not the only one, nor even the worst one, LAST NIGHT.

It seems to me that you gain credibility if you are a little more objective about the other players contributions to a loss, rather than every single time blaming it on one guy.

If a machine isn't working properly you start off by tackling the most noticeable problem first then go from there. Right now, out of the guys receiving heavy minutes, Enrique is the biggest problem according to advanced metrics. The eye test pretty much confirms that too.

+/- is a pretty basic metric btw. There are a couple more advanced ways to quantify offensive and defensive impact. None of the guys receiving heavy minutes on the team are as bad as Enrique in those other areas. Except maybe Belinelli and he probably won't receive heavy minutes now that Kawhi is healthy.

Spurs could get trounced in this game. Bulls are reeling and need a win badly. Plus, isn't it on TNT?

Wow you called it bro. :(

But by ignoring other players' contributions to losses and the (admittedly occasional) contributions by Parker to wins, you just become the proverbial "one-note johnny" who adds nothing to any discussion.

It is just rinse and repeat until it is more than annoying...you create a desire in people to argue that it cannot possibly be as one-sided as you make it. Because it isn't.

When he threw that fit you could just kind of see this one coming from a mile away, unfortunately it did come and they took it out on the Spurs like you said.

Hopefully, they ass-rape the Mavs tonight as well. :lol

I don't think anyone truly believes Enrique is the only reason the Spurs lose. But again he's the biggest culprit and, fair or not, that guy always gets the majority of the blame.

And what's the difference between what you are saying about Enrique 'haters' and people on the other side of the argument refusing to acknowledge that Enrique has been a pretty terrible PG? If posters like you, Cry Havoc, or the French legion are so objective why not acknowledge that giving more of his minutes to Patty/Cojo is actually a pretty reasonable suggestion considering how bad he is playing?

Actually I am on record as saying that I want the best line-up for our chances of winning, and if that means Parker sits for the rest of the season that is FINE with me, as long as we win. I honestly don't care. I don't think he is quite as bad for the offensive sets as some of you all do, but if we can win more without him, then that is the line-up I want.

Just while the games are going on, I just get sick to death of constant bitching about any mistake he makes while no criticism applies to others. You say he is the worst. Okay, but he isn't the only. Just try to acknowledge that during a game occasionally.

For example, to me (just my opinion) Diaw has been AWOL for the last several games and Splitter just makes me mad during the games sometimes. I LOVE the energy that Patty brings and we clearly missed it when he was out and need it now. That energy infects the whole team that is out there. But we have to admit that when he enters the other pg takes off on an offensive drive very often. And he has not exactly been blowing out the shooting percentages either. But I defended him when someone asked if we should be concerned about his "chucking" shortly after he got back. I answered no we shouldn't because his energy offsets any negatives. And he is a volume shooter. He needs to take shots and needs to be a constant threat to take a shot, and that is what he does.

Bottom line is that I have defended Manu (my favorite player but I acknowledge that he makes huge mistakes at times), Diaw (but not recently), Patty, Danny, Splitter (not recently),
etc. etc. I defend TP because he gets more hate than anyone other than Manu, and while I agree he is having a terrible year, he is not the only one contributing to losses.

You're way too sensitive about this. No one has any bias against Tony. I've already mentioned Splitter being disappointing this season. I already said the Parker/Duncan duo wasn't working tonight and that they both should sit. Are people criticizing Tony more than any other player right now? Yeah, but it's mostly deserved. He's the highest paid player on the team and the youngest of the big three so more is expected out of him. Of course people are going to be angry when our two backup point guards continue to outplay our $14 million "all-star" night after night. It doesn't help matters when the Tony Parker defense force has nothing to counter any of the criticism except blame Manu for some reason.

I think only one or two posters blame Manu for everything....but I put that in the same vein that I put the posters who blame Tony for everything.

[quentin_compson]

Pretty ugly game from our guys. They definitely deserved to lose this one.

[Johnny RIngo]

Same vein? Those two retards(greatyacht, hater) are still buthurt about the 2013 Finals for some reason...don't know why since Parker was just as terrible as Manu in that series. Manu redeemed himself the year after and everybody else has moved on. At least the Parker critics are discussing the current season in regards to Tony's shit play. Those two are still harping about shit from two years ago.

[milkyway21]

I watched the replay .. (I was out during the game)

Well, though Parker was bad but definiitely NOT the only culprit. But was outshoned by Rose by going hard at the rim The aggresiveness of the Bulls are evident...there were more FTs.
Then, again the rebounding of this team lately ..:rolleyes.

Asses who can't jump sucks.



Hope we don't lose to Lakers (again).

[jermaine]

Everyone dribbled an stopped under the rim an tried to kick it out. Only to get it stolen. Couldn't make shit or rebound.

[silverblackfan]

Actually, a day later, I am wondering if Pop is just trolling us via TNT. They do seem to avoid the major network wins until the playoffs...

[LakerHater]

Not many fLakers fans at AT&T as last game!
