Game Thread: Spurs Vs. Milwaukee Bucks, Jan 25 2015 7:00 EST

[Malik Hairston]

Hopefully nobody makes the All Star team and nobody is considered for an individual award. this team needs any kind of manufactured motivation to get through this reg season tbh.

None of them deserve it, anyways..

Duncan was a lock until January, he was playing elite basketball, but he has fallen off a cliff this month, most likely due to the minutes and load he carried in December..

[Chomag]

Patty only 6 mins? he was shooting well

:pop: "Too hot, wouldn't be fair to the team."

[Mugen]

Agreed, but I think Kerr might give him a reserve spot anyways.

[apalisoc_9]

Tim needs rest...

he looks slow defensively..

[boutons_deux]

another shitty shooting game by the Spurs

[timtonymanu]

I doubt Duncan makes it in anyways. Thankfully the West is too stacked that he will get snubbed.

[EVAY]

Patty only 6 mins? he was shooting well

Don't you wonder why he only played 6 minutes? And in the last game Cojo got a lot of what I thought were going to be Mills' minutes in the second half.

I can't figure out what Pop is doing.

[hater]

It's sad when teamates bump into each other and our 2 hof ballhandlers look like a couple of faggots

[ElNono]

Tim looks pretty meh out there yet has 14 and 7....

lol @ the "timmy should retire" crowd... we'll be down 30 right now

[ElNono]

Don't you wonder why he only played 6 minutes? And in the last game Cojo got a lot of what I thought were going to be Mills' minutes in the second half.

I can't figure out what Pop is doing.

me neither

[Chomag]

Looking at the stat line if this was not the Bucks Spurs would be getting murdered right now.

[itzsoweezee]

I really don't understand why Popovich refuses to play Patty. He got zero minutes in the first half against the Lakers, and now he's only gotten a handful of minutes against the Bucks. He's clearly giving the team much more than Parker or Cojo at this point. Play the guy, goddammit.

[ace3g]

me neither

CJ is about to be traded to a team that needs a PG.

[Malik Hairston]

Looking at the stat line if this was not the Bucks Spurs would be getting murdered right now.

To be fair, the Spurs have played much better against the "good/great" teams in the NBA, while playing shitty basketball against all the "middle" teams like the Bucks..

[Beaverfuzz]

Boner, that was ugly.

[pgardn]

They are just going by us on simple ball fakes.

[timtonymanu]

Splitter and Diaw needs to get their heads out of their asses. I'm tired of Boner.

[weebo]

Guys can't stay in front of their man....its been going all season long

[EVAY]

Clearly Joseph is in to punish Green. Hope Joseph is willing to shoot and make the shots.

[ElNono]

Brandon Knight still doing whatever he wants

[Nathan89]

Green d hasn't been looking very good lately

[Silver&Black]

CoJo coming in for Danny?

[spursparker9]

lol Tony is done tbh.

[Beaverfuzz]

Kawhi at least gives a shit.

[LakerHater]

Parker looks like shit!

[itzsoweezee]

Tony Parker is fucking pathetic. Stop shooting the ball you fucking scrub.

[Malik Hairston]

Green d hasn't been looking very good lately

Fallen off a cliff like Duncan's, tbh..I think the December load has clearly taken a toll on Duncan/Manu/Green, it was a pretty ridiculous month of minutes and carrying the team on both ends..

[jARS mEsH sEt]

Leonard's offense has taken a step back from last year. It's disappointing to watch. He's merely above average now.

[pgardn]

We look dead tired.

[Beaverfuzz]

About fucking time they call that shit on the Bucks.

[Rescueone]

Make a basket please

[Beaverfuzz]

Hey CoJo, SHOOT THE BALL!

[Mugen]

stop passing the ball CoJo.

[timtonymanu]

This lineup can't shoot. Sit them already.

[spursparker9]

Leonard's offense has taken a step back from last year. It's disappointing to watch. He's merely above average now.

He is still hesitating somehow...

[Chomag]

Should just hang up TD for awhile since the team doesn't look like they give a damn at winning right now anyway.

[hoopdreams11]

please get Bonner out might as well play Jay Mich if he can't hit shots

[ElNono]

Bonner, clank... Tony, clank.... Bonner, clank... Tony, clank.... Timmy, turnover...

can't score for shit

[weebo]

Parker had Cojo open and takes it in himself :lol

[ElNono]

finally TP!

[Budkin]

Man this team has become an absolute mess. There are no more injury excuses to use. We're just a below average team all of a sudden.

[TDfan2007]

:lol Middleton can't miss.

[LakerHater]

Damn Tony

[Chomag]

lol Parker

[Rescueone]

Fucking ball hog Parker and isn't making shit

[timtonymanu]

Can we run something other than Enrique drives?

[Mugen]

2015 and I'm still complaining about Bonner's minutes tbh......

[itzsoweezee]

Why won't Tony stop shooting? And why the fuck is Popovich playing Cojo at shooting guard?

[timtonymanu]

Parker had Cojo open and takes it in himself :lol

CoJo would probably pass it back out.

[Darius Bieber]

Let's all be reminded that the Bucks played in Milwaukee last night.......

[DJR210]

Just tuned in..what the fuck is going on here?

[Robz4000]

This team is dead.

[ElNono]

2015 and I'm still complaining about Bonner's minutes tbh......

when I see him out there, I feel Pop is throwing games...

[pgardn]

Cojo, Mills, Tiago get up and on the floor.

[Malik Hairston]

This coaching is awful, tbh..

Joseph plays terrible with Manu or Parker with him, we have known this for a while, he kills spacing..

[timtonymanu]

We did a good job defensively there, but of course we couldn't score. This doesn't seem like a game the Spurs can win. Too many dogshit performances out there.

[ElNono]

dont even know how this is a 10pt game right now, tbh

[r0drig0lac]

shit..Parker will not pass the ball (anyway no one seems to be able to make a basket)

[Chomag]

2015 and I'm still complaining about Bonner's minutes tbh......

Remember when he got the extension? Remember ppl saying don't worry, he is 12th man and wont be getting many minutes... ya me too.

[FkLA]

Enrique's lay up attempts are so painful to watch, even the rare ones that happen to go in.

[Beaverfuzz]

Pretty pass TP to BD

[Silver&Black]

Just tuned in..what the fuck is going on here?

Spurs D sucks....Spurs O sucks.....that's about it.

[Beaverfuzz]

I can't fault COJO on that shot, he was wide open.

[urunobili]

Trashker and Turnobili screwing this game

[EVAY]

And when Parker passes it to a three point shooter, the ball doesn't go in.

[Mugen]

jesus christ Tony.....

[pgardn]

Ball movement by the Bucks is good.
We need to cut off some passing lanes.

[FkLA]

WTF is Enrique doing tbh.

[timtonymanu]

Holy fuck Enrique, stop shooting.

[Arc]

we just can't make any shots.

[Beaverfuzz]

Break up the band.

[Chomag]

LOL TP... Pass the freaking ball! Dman lmao!

[itzsoweezee]

And when Parker passes it to a three point shooter, the ball doesn't go in.

Better than another missed layup.

[timtonymanu]

Honestly, Parker, fuck off. We need this game.

[Rescueone]

Sit the fuck down Parker, you're officially a fuck up

[pgardn]

Tim is well behind everything.

[ElNono]

somebody make a YouTube video... "The Fucking Ugly Game"

[Nathan89]

Everyone is a defensive liability

[midnightpulp]

Starters other than Duncan are 4-28 :lol.

Danny Green has been reverting to his 2012 choking form lately. Can't buy a bucket.

[Beaverfuzz]

Way to be smart in attacking KL, OTHERS FOLLOW HIS LEAD!

[TDfan2007]

The high-low has been there all night, but our guys aren't recognizing it. Good aggression by Kawhi.

[r0drig0lac]

what happened to this team? it seems that no one cares

[pgardn]

Patty for Tony please...

[BillMc]

Our body language is terrible.

[loveforthegame]

That's the best Leonards stroke has looked tonight.

[ElNono]

So Cojo gets Patty minutes, really Pop?

[itzsoweezee]

Leonard needs to just be selfish. Take every shot for like 5 straight possessions.

[Silver&Black]

Cut it to 5 by the start of the 4th. We'll be fine....

[Chomag]

Seriously!?! Where is Mills?

[Beaverfuzz]

SEE, LOOK AT THAT! Great ball movement, and all started by a guard attacking the rim (COJO)

[TDfan2007]

:wow Timmy went God mode there on both ends. Great D by Kawhi on that switch too!

[Budkin]

Our body language is terrible.

Has to be something going on in the locker room...

[ElNono]

showing some fight there

[Darius Bieber]

No Parker = great ball movement

[itzsoweezee]

Put Patty in the fucking game, Popovich.

[LakerHater]

Tim getn no respect from this officiatin crew

[timtonymanu]

So Cojo gets Patty minutes, really Pop?

Cory has to be on the trading block. Pop wouldn't bench a Finals performer like Patty. Benching Parker makes more sense at this point.

[jARS mEsH sEt]

He is still hesitating somehow...

It's just a little bit of everything. His mid range jumper is slightly less efficient this year. His 3 pointer is slightly less efficient. He's making around the same number of field goals but attempting 2 more attempts per game.

His dribbling is as average as ever, as is his ability to effectively pass out of double teams. It's going to take him a couple of years to learn how to pass out of doubles well, though, so I don't exactly fault him for that.

It's just frustrating to see Kawhi routinely struggle and scratch and claw just to barely meet his 15 PPG mark.

[EVAY]

Better than another missed layup.

Not much difference in the point total, though.

[pgardn]

Finally some energy from Tim.

But from a seasons perspective we are riding a tired horse.

[Johnny RIngo]

A certain point guard is playing awful tonight. Don't want to name names so as not to upset the player fans.

[timtonymanu]

Has to be something going on in the locker room...

Defending champions syndrome + guys being gassed as fuck from the endless December stretch.

[HI-FI]

Parker really is the Spurs Kobe. if Pop sits him out most of rest of the game, Spurs should be able to pull off the W.

[EVAY]

Tim getn no respect from this officiatin crew

None of the Sours are getting any respect this year.

[Richie]

Josephs unwillingness to shoot is really hurting us. He shot 48% in the D League a couple of years ago so he can shoot, but he'd rather drive in to a crowded lane than shoot an open 3

[Silver&Black]

Tim getn no respect from this officiatin crew

I thought he fouled on both of those blocks just now.

[timtonymanu]

Parker really is the Spurs Kobe. if Pop sits him out most of rest of the game, Spurs should be able to pull off the W.

he also has a very delusional fanbase that think he's still a good player. :lol

[Silver&Black]

18 fucking turnovers.....and we're down by 7?

smh

[ace3g]

Kapow dunk

[Rescueone]

This is the bucks with 18 turnovers and the Sours are still losing!

[itzsoweezee]

Not much difference in the point total, though.

Well, at least moving it to the open guy puts pressure on the defense. Taking a layup by himself is easy to defend.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. :tu

[EVAY]

Cory has to be on the trading block. Pop wouldn't bench a Finals performer like Patty. Benching Parker makes more sense at this point.

Absolutely. So why doesn't he do it?

[Chomag]

Parker better take note from Kobe before he shoots his arm off. lol

[r0drig0lac]

slam

[cjw]

Josephs unwillingness to shoot is really hurting us. He shot 48% in the D League a couple of years ago so he can shoot, but he'd rather drive in to a crowded lane than shoot an open 3

Exactly. If he could / were willing to shoot, he'd be a MUCH different type of talent. With a hole in your game like that one, crunch time minutes in big games have to be limited.

[timtonymanu]

Creme Shake

[Silver&Black]

Spurs gonna win this game....

[ace3g]

Diaw 2.0 with a little Operation Post up

[Chomag]

he also has a very delusional fanbase that think he's still a good player. :lol

But but his ass cheeks hurt sir!!!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. Keep it man. :tu

[pgardn]

Boris with the immense posterior move.

[ElNono]

1 pt game... what happened? all of a sudden the offense is clicking

[LakerHater]

10-0 Run!

[ElNono]

spoke too soon :lol

[itzsoweezee]

That's what I'm talking about. Be selfish, Kawhi.

[timtonymanu]

Fat Dudley hitting that ugh

[r0drig0lac]

wtf tim

[EVAY]

Well, at least moving it to the open guy puts pressure on the defense. Taking a layup by himself is easy to defend.

The guy is open on the wing BECAUSE the defense is collapsing in the paint. If someone weren't in there shooting it (we could only hope that person would make more than 2 of 10), the defense stays home on the three point shooters.

[itzsoweezee]

1 pt game... what happened? all of a sudden the offense is clicking

No more Tony Parker whiffed layups.

[ace3g]

Spurs the sloppy beautiful game

[timtonymanu]

Joseph's passiveness is fucking with the spacing.

[Chomag]

Seriously though, P Mills has to be hurt right?

[RD2191]

Is parker done?

[Rescueone]

I sense a Manu fuck up real soon

[ElNono]

damn, gotta finish that and1

[ElNono]

get paddy in there, let's take the lead

[pgardn]

Manu...

no 1 out of 2...

[HI-FI]

he also has a very delusional fanbase that think he's still a good player. :lol
Pretty much. He's not as toxic nor as talented as Kobe, but there are far too many similarities imo.

[FkLA]

Real talk Enrique should be the 3rd PG.

[r0drig0lac]

i love parker, but it's another team out there

[ElNono]

great defense by Cojo

[Malik Hairston]

It's evident that Pop is keeping Patty on the bench to spare Parker's feelings IMO..

[pgardn]

Manu...

no 1 out of 2...

Jesus!!!!!

[urunobili]

Fuck yo FTs Manu :pctoss

[Johnny RIngo]

The offense and defense looks so much better when a certain point guard isn't in the game.

[Robz4000]

CoJo not doing much of anything on offense but his D has been glorious.

[Chomag]

lol manu1

[pgardn]

Manu...

no 1 out of 2...

[milkyway21]

One if not the worst team this season vs the reigning champs
Unbelievable ! :sleep

[Rescueone]

Can he hit both

[ElNono]

damn it, baldie, make dem freebies

[ElNono]

tied game!

[EVAY]

At least Manu is willing to go right at the defense and forcing the refs to make the call.

Now if he just make his fts

[pgardn]

Jesus!!!!

[Rescueone]

No

[ElNono]

why are we going zone now?

[timtonymanu]

Real talk Enrique should be the 3rd PG.

[weebo]

Cojo doing work

[ElNono]

we're up!

[SpurPadre]

Manu's FT shooting is so fucking annoying now.

[ElNono]

2 for 1

[marinoman]

Notice how both big Spurs runs happened when TP was on the bench

[Chomag]

Bucks are such a shitty team thankfully lol

[EVAY]

Finally!!!

And on a Splitter basket!!

[timtonymanu]

It's not the 2010 playoffs anymore, Dudley. Fuck off.

[ElNono]

Kawhi rebounding like a man

[Johnny RIngo]

Leonard a monster on the boards tonight

[Silver&Black]

Nice call ref....that was a jump ball really.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard with some impressive boards.

[aal04]

wont lie, we getting calls.

[Richie]

Exactly. If he could / were willing to shoot, he'd be a MUCH different type of talent. With a hole in your game like that one, crunch time minutes in big games have to be limited.

The worst part is that it's not even a hole in his game, he shot 41% from 3 in college and hit 35/73 (48%) in the D League with an NBA 3 point line. It must be mental.

[EVAY]

Definitely playing with better energy and focus.

Can this line-up play the whole 4th?

Where the hell is Patty, though?

[Chomag]

Lol Spurs and Free throws... wtf has chip been doing lately anyway?

[r0drig0lac]

Kawhi with double double

[timtonymanu]

Leonard a monster on the boards tonight

3-10, though. - player fans.

[ElNono]

:wow what a block by Gino

[Hemotivo]

:wow Manu!

[Silver&Black]

Gino with the huge block. My nigga....

[EVAY]

Here comes Patty!

[Chomag]

Just noooo TP in the 4th and I think Spurs win.

[timtonymanu]

The Client

[ElNono]

damn!!!

[loveforthegame]

Damn. What a pass. Too bad Patty missed.

[EVAY]

Nice try.

[ElNono]

play a solid quarter and we win this

[timtonymanu]

We have a lead. That's all that matters. Keep Enrique and Bonner on the bench, please.

[Mugen]

Maybe Pop showed em the program and the team realized they're not playing the '96 Bulls tonight tbh.

[RD2191]

Patty Mills is garbage.

[weebo]

Just noooo TP in the 4th and I think Spurs win.

Also, keep Green glued to the bench.

[Beaverfuzz]

Looks like they finally snapped out of it!

[hater]

:lmao refs fucking the Bucks over wow

[Beaverfuzz]

Patty Mills is garbage.

Yep, fuck him. Put another burger on the barbie.

[pgardn]

Now can we possibly get a 4th quarter where we crush the precious bodily fluids out of an opponent.

[Budkin]

Signs of life. Finally.

[ElNono]

Gino played his 20mins already... we'll see if Pop goes with Cojo-Mills here

[TDfan2007]

Kawhi had a fantastic quarter showing great aggression. Our D finally stepped up too thanks to Cojo.

[Johnny RIngo]

Hard part is done. Just need to close the 4th. Keep the French Josh Smith on the bench and we win this by double digits.

[weebo]

Parker back in :lol

[FkLA]

Enrique in. All that for nothing tbh.

[timtonymanu]

Fat Dudley can't miss. :lol

[ElNono]

verde, finally!

[loveforthegame]

Green finally. :tu

[Silver&Black]

Verd3

[EVAY]

Finally Danny!!!!

[weebo]

Henson's ankle just exploded

[Silver&Black]

Sweep the leg Danny....

[Beaverfuzz]

Walk it off you pussy.

[Chomag]

Wait... Mills is now a garbage time only player for Pop now?

[Beaverfuzz]

BORIS MY MAIN MAN!

[Silver&Black]

Walk it off you pussy.

:lmao

Go outside and rub some dirt on it

[Beaverfuzz]

Garbage Man Tiago cleans shit up!

[ElNono]

good ball movement there

[ace3g]

Diaw 2.0

[Beaverfuzz]

SWEEP THE LEG BORIS!

[ElNono]

making Boris work

[weebo]

Boris :lol

[Silver&Black]

Bobo....

My nigga

[Chomag]

Just win this so we can forget this game happened!

[r0drig0lac]

Diaw is a monster

[loveforthegame]

Diaw. The most aggression I've seen from him in a while.

[EVAY]

Thankfully they didn't call the three seconds on that play.

[pgardn]

Boris kicking ass.

[ElNono]

Kenyon Martin is still in the league?

[ImDaNuts]

Spurs about to steamroll now

[pgardn]

Thankfully they didn't call the three seconds on that play.

Ball was loose.

[TDfan2007]

Diaw with as demonstrative of a move as I've ever seen. Nice.

[timtonymanu]

I'm one of the few that isn't worried about Diaw in the long run, but nice to see him with that kind of aggression. :tu

[weebo]

Kenyon Martin is still in the league?

Just his corpse

[moisaenz]

Manu resting the rest of the game??

[milkyway21]

Bucks only 12 pts in the 3Q..:tu

I'm out I'd go watch my friend Ms. U ..:lol
good luck Spurs :flag:

[Chomag]

Kenyon Martin is still in the league?

Spurs ruined that guy's career lol

[Beaverfuzz]

Bucks only 12 pts in the 3Q..:tu

I'm out I'd go watch my friend Ms. U ..:lol
good luck Spurs :flag:

Your right hand is named Ms. U?

[BillMc]

Diaw. The most aggression I've seen from him in a while.

Yeah, who woke up Bobo? Thank god.

[EVAY]

What an utterly odd night.

[Beaverfuzz]

MANU

3333333

[Silver&Black]

Manu tr3s....................

[ElNono]

Manuuuuu

[Hemotivo]

http://www.losandes.com.ar/files/image/15/01/image54bfb576f3d917.37917234.jpg

[EVAY]

Perfectly done, Boris and Manu!!

[EVAY]

Danny continuing his fly-bys I see.

[ElNono]

I think Pop is giving Tony extra minutes at the expense of Patty to try to get Tony to find his form...

[ElNono]

we're trading baskets, we need stops

[timtonymanu]

Fuck off Bucks.

[Robz4000]

Whoever Enrique guards scores...

[pgardn]

What an utterly odd night.

Indeed.

Bizzare.

[RD2191]

Isn't Bayless a Spurs killer? Someone refresh my memory.

[RD2191]

Fuck off Bucks.

[ElNono]

Pelicans beat Dallas, would be nice to get a W

[moisaenz]

I think Pop is giving Tony extra minutes at the expense of Patty to try to get Tony to find his form...

He won't find his defense anywhere
