Game Thread: Spurs vs Clippers: Saturday, Jan 31 8:00PM

[beirmeistr]

keep feeding Leonard

[lefty]

You can say that about 99.9% of TV bitches, tbh.

It's true

[313]

Every time we score they come back and score

[timtonymanu]

:lol the battle of outflopping

[NASpurs]

:lmao a flopping party

[spursparker9]

lol Manu flopping

[TheGreatYacht]

Is Jon Barry going to hate every fucking Spur?

[KL2]

MVP Leonard trying to carry us

[lefty]

Why is ESPN announcer overreacting?

[ElNono]

been a frustrating game for Gino, tbh

[milkyway21]

Whoa Spurs trailing :depressed

[SpurPadre]

Brent now really laying his Spurs hatred thick.

[timtonymanu]

Is Jon Barry going to hate every fucking Spur?

He gave love to Green and Splitter.

[loveforthegame]

Missed fts. Awesome.

[ElNono]

Is Jon Barry going to hate every fucking Spur?

that's his thing, tbh

[NASpurs]

You can't blame that splitting free throws shit on tired legs

[KL2]

Wish we had a real pg...

[timtonymanu]

clank clank clank.

[dabom]

Pass to kawhI
faggot

[DJR210]

Damn, Parker looks so heavy and labored when he pushes the ball upcourt.

[beirmeistr]

diaw needs to stop shooting 3s, not his night

[SpurPadre]

Is Jon Barry going to hate every fucking Spur?

I hope TP fucked his wife, too.

[ElNono]

Outside of Gino and Boris, bench played under 5 mins tonight... bad test for Pop if this is the playoff rotation right now

[TheGreatYacht]

I hope TP fucked his wife, too.
This, tbh.

[Horse]

Can't hit a fucking open look amazing it's stil this close.

[BillMc]

I hope TP fucked his wife, too.
:lol

[KaiRMD1]

They just had to have Jon barry comentate. The old sport is having the best time of his life right now

[Beaverfuzz]

manus game is really off tonight

Almost the entire year, TBH.

[jhova]

Gino looks well rested i see

[beirmeistr]

Pop, throw another Patty on the barbie

[Pauleta14]

been a frustrating game for Gino, tbh

and Timmy and Tony...

Try to stay objective mate! ;)

[TheGreatYacht]

A fat break dancer... San Antonio.

[ElNono]

and Timmy and Tony...

Try to stay objective mate! ;)

sorry was commenting while he had the ball

[lefty]

Lol fat San Antonian trying to dance

[Malik Hairston]

What a hideous game:

- Clippers' D is horrible, Spurs getting a ton of good looks, can't make anything
- Defense is horrible, too many shitty defenders on the floor
- Tony Parker just kills the team, there's a reason his on/off metrics are near the bottom of the NBA, he's a cancer

[ElNono]

Paddy!

[313]

Need Mills to get in the game. Parker and Manu need to attack more in the fourth. Speaking of Manu, his passing has been 2013 finals ish.

And most importantly keep getting the ball to kawhi

[spursparker9]

I hope TP fucked his wife, too.

:toast

[apalisoc_9]

What a hideous game:

- Clippers' D is horrible, Spurs getting a ton of good looks, can't make anything

[Johnny RIngo]

Outside of Gino and Boris, bench played under 5 mins tonight... bad test for Pop if this is the playoff rotation right now

Definitely a bad idea on his part. The Spurs squad in it's current incarnation needs the bench more than ever. The Big three(Parker/Manu/Duncan) has actually been our worst three man combo this season.

[Mikeanaro]

Baynes...what a fucking retard.

[Beaverfuzz]

:flag: :flag: :flag:

[Beaverfuzz]

Spurs shooting.

[lefty]

What a hideous game:

- Clippers' D is horrible, Spurs getting a ton of good looks, can't make anything
- Defense is horrible, too many shitty defenders on the floor
- Tony Parker just kills the team, there's a reason his on/off metrics are near the bottom of the NBA, he's a cancer
But today's NBA is more sophisticated

[ElNono]

make a little run and we're right in this

[Malik Hairston]

Ginobili can't make simple passes tonight, they're all at least a few inches off the mark, not sure what's up with him..

[313]

Austin Rivers in. Give the ball to whoever he's guarding.

[timtonymanu]

I'm getting annoyed with the lack of hustle.

[RD2191]

Lmao refs

[beirmeistr]

Ginobili can't make simple passes tonight, they're all at least a few inches off the mark, not sure what's up with him..

maybe he has an eye infection

[ElNono]

stupid foul paddy, keep your hands to yourself

[SpursFan86]

Yeah, I'm out

[RD2191]

These refs are shit. Wtf man, fuck.

[313]

:lol nba
:lol rewarding floppers

[lefty]

:lol JVG

[loveforthegame]

Stupid foul. Can't get over the hump.

[RD2191]

Yeah, I'm out

[Beaverfuzz]

Well, nut up or shut up Spurs.

[Horse]

Ok now the refs just wanna go home that call was shit

[TheGreatYacht]

Does ESPN really think people give a fuck about Austin Rivers...

[Malik Hairston]

:lmao these refs are terrible, as usual..

[BatManu20]

Mills finally comes in, immediately fouls on a 3-pointer, Pop pulls him lol

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Almost yet another turn over by Manu

[Beaverfuzz]

that's a regular foul.

[ElNono]

Mills finally comes in, immediately fouls on a 3-pointer, Pop pulls him lol

he's still out there

[Rescueone]

This team is so frustrating to watch this year

[Horse]

Heads up our ass allnight still zero fear of the clips

[Beaverfuzz]

Call Manu Mr 50%

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

So many missed free throws and open threes in this game

[NASpurs]

Manu is pissing me off with that shit

[SpurPadre]

Manu FT Splitter

[EVAY]

Baynes did some good work there.

[ElNono]

can I get a Paddy 3 please?

[beirmeistr]

manu definitely has a mental block on ft

[lefty]

holy fuck ESPN we dont give ashit about Rivers

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Finally Diaw gets something in

[SpurPadre]

OK, get Baynes the fuck out of there please.

[timtonymanu]

Thanks Tiago for being so shitty tonight that Blake went off.

[NASpurs]

The crowd is just dead

[RD2191]

1st round exit.

[Beaverfuzz]

Good night, thanks for coming!

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

:depressed

[NASpurs]

Austin Rivers? That's game if that scrub is making threes

[313]

Burn the tape

[timtonymanu]

Game over. Piss poor effort tonight. Gutless worms etc.

[Beaverfuzz]

holy fuck ESPN we dont give ashit about Rivers

LA market = they do give a shit.

[daslicer]

This is a sure loss considering Austin has played well in this game.

[TheGreatYacht]

When will Pop give up with this 2-3 zone

[Pauleta14]

sorry was commenting while he had the ball

I guess..

But the whole team is out of synch and not playing smart. One of those games...

[beirmeistr]

another shitty game with all key players healthy

[spursparker9]

Unleash Reggie Williams please

[Malik Hairston]

Austin Rivers and Turkoglu scoring multiple FGs is the most embarrassing thing about this season, tbh, other than Tony Parker wearing a Spurs jersey..

[RD2191]

Burn the tape
Burn all the season tapes. Team is shit.

[loveforthegame]

They're not even looking for Leonard. Ridiculous.

[Hemotivo]

:reading

[ElNono]

I guess..

But the whole team is out of synch and not playing smart. One of those games...

yeah, burn the tape

[SpurPadre]

Jamychal and Errors time.

[Darius Bieber]

1st round exit.

Won't even make the playoffs.

[Beaverfuzz]

manu

[cjw]

Just turn it off.

[Chomag]

This team has no pride this year. They seem not to care either way on loosing or winning, just a big meh.

[BillMc]

Losing the bench battle against the Clips. Damn. :(

[SpurPadre]

fuck more Manu FTs

[ElNono]

Gino stat-padding in garbage time :td

[HI-FI]

this is a pathetic showing. everyone seems in the dumps.

[pgardn]

1 out of 2

please no.

[spursparker9]

Won't even make the playoffs.

Will make.

[ElNono]

Manu made both

:danceclub:

[pgardn]

1 out of 2

please no.

Like it matters...

[dabom]

Manu made both

:danceclub:I should make a thread. seriously.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fuck this.

[beirmeistr]

Breaking news........... Manu msde 2 fts

[SpurPadre]

Will Pop and the team give Kawhi a chance to break his record for points in a game or will he waive the white flag early?

[diego]

this game is still within reach, they just have to make some 3s.

[ducks]

Spurs bench tonight is the difference

[ElNono]

Interesting only Kawhi and Gino with 5+ FTAs tonight...

[Malik Hairston]

Getting frustrating to watch all these games with minimal energy and effort, tbh..even the recent wins have been lackadaisical..

[Agloco]

This team has no pride this year. They seem not to care either way on loosing or winning, just a big meh.

This.

[EVAY]

Rebounding and second-chance points for the Clips, plus Blake Griffin and Hawes going off on us.

It does not appear clear to me that we can "turn it on" when we want to anymore.

We really needed this win tonight. And I think that everyone hustled. We just can't out-rebound anymore. And we can't stop big athletic front lines.

[BillMc]

http://i.imgur.com/fkrCCfd.png

[marinoman]

Gino stat-padding in garbage time :td
I wouldn't call scoring in the 3rd quarter down 18-11 stat padding

[Pauleta14]

Gino stat-padding in garbage time :td

Nah, there's still a quarter, who knows, with the 3s and DAJ with 4fouls...

[Hemotivo]

The spurs can win this game... and destroy the clippers psyche

[Horse]

The most frustrating thing this season is you don't know when or if they'll hit the switch. Where the fuck are my SPURS?

[Agloco]

Getting frustrating to watch all these games with minimal energy and effort, tbh..even the recent wins have been lackadaisical..

And this.

[Beaverfuzz]

RIP THEM A NEW ASSHOLE POP!

[ElNono]

Only bench scoring: Manu and Diaw with 9 a piece

[SpurPadre]

this game is still within reach, they just have to make some 3s.

as long as Pop doesn't empty the bench out early in the quarter.

[Beaverfuzz]

TURNOBLI!

[Mal]

Combeback started with Manu turnover

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Another turnover. Great.

[Beaverfuzz]

Jesus Christ, how many double dribbles can Austin Rivers have?

[beirmeistr]

I still remember the Spurs coming back from 17 after 3 gtrs in 2005

[BillMc]

Rebounding and second-chance points for the Clips, plus Blake Griffin and Hawes going off on us.

It does not appear clear to me that we can "turn it on" when we want to anymore.

We really needed this win tonight. And I think that everyone hustled. We just can't out-rebound anymore. And we can't stop big athletic front lines.

Agree. The rodeo road trip will really tell us where we are.

[FkLA]

Austin Rivers is an annoying little shit. Has that smug, I'm so good attitude even though he is a complete scrub tbh.

[diego]

Spurs bench tonight is the difference

tp 2-10 td 2-5 nothing to do with it

[daslicer]

Spurs 2 straight shitty games on national TV.

[Mal]

:lmao Rivers and Turkoglu on the floor :lmao

[Darius Bieber]

I still remember the Spurs coming back from 17 after 3 gtrs in 2005

2005 Spurs would rape these gutless worms.

[313]

GET BAYNES OFF THE FLOOR

[ElNono]

Get Cojo and Bonner in there, we win this

[timtonymanu]

The result of this game isn't the least bit surprising though. It's still embarrassing and fucking shameful, but the Clippers just lost to a Davis-less Pelicans last night. And the Spurs can't even put away shitty, injured teams like the Hornets these days. They better wake up though. The "coasting" excuse doesn't apply anymore.

[Beaverfuzz]

That block on Ginobli is all we need to see. Father Time has caught up.

[Mal]

Oh my fucking god

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Nobody on this team can even make a fucking floater tonight

[ElNono]

:lol sad, tbh

[SpurPadre]

fucking Patty.

[Beaverfuzz]

Yep, that sequence was pitiful. Absolute pitiful.

[loveforthegame]

WTF are they doing out there.

[EVAY]

tp 2-10 td 2-5 nothing to do with it

but neither took a single shot in the third and we are down worse than we were at the half. Got to find something other than shooting.

[ElNono]

:lmao that fast-break

[diego]

nevermind they cant get clean looks anymore, pop is going to pull the plug any minute now

[beirmeistr]

playing like the Keystone cops

[Pauleta14]

Wow...

I've rarely seen THE WHOLE team suck at the same time like today...

[Fireball]

from good to great to ... TO

[SpurPadre]

The result of this game isn't the least bit surprising though. It's still embarrassing and fucking shameful, but the Clippers just lost to a Davis-less Pelicans last night. And the Spurs can't even put away shitty, injured teams like the Hornets these days. They better wake up though. The "coasting" excuse doesn't apply anymore.

This, tbh.

[Hemotivo]

:lol

[hoopdreams11]

we need an athletic big

[Horse]

Maybe the worst I've ever seen these Spurs look with the unforced mistakes. They look drunk.

[Mikeanaro]

Other west teams are losing...inviting Spurs to a better seeding and they say ¨MEH, IM FINE HERE¨.

[BatManu20]

Just one of those games. We need to win our next two against ORL and MIA though before we head off on the RRT.

[ElNono]

bench was awful tonight, and that's a killer since they've been largely carrying the load in the last few games...

I still don't know what Pop was thinking overplaying the starters in the 1st half... but then again, the team is half-assing it, tbh...

[daslicer]

Spurs haven't been fun to watch all year with the way they have been playing. Just straight up ugly basketball.

[BillMc]

This game has me screaming at my screen like Fay Wray. It's 6 AM here, I think my neighbors hate the American basketball fan amongst them. :lol

[vagabundios]

The entire team is playing like crap tonight.

[Chomag]

Are we extending the "it's only (insert month)" this year?

[marinoman]

3 on 1 fast break...turnover

[100%duncan]

WTF happened to these faggots

[fresnodog]

Pathetic

[lefty]

:cry Montreal Canadiens mention

[Mal]

Fucking scrub Rivers is playing game of his life

[Mal]

Clippers are really hustling

[SpurPadre]

The Hawks would beat us by 30 right now, tbh.

[daslicer]

Hawes is a foul factory.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Clippers bench acting like Ginobli flopped when Hawes slammed into him LOL

[Horse]

So tony can't get a call to save his life but piece of shit rivers gets sneezed on and it's a foul?

[hoopdreams11]

what is up with the FT's

[Chomag]

Great teams find a way to win, but the Spurs seem to be trying to do the complete opposite is all im saying. This is so frustrating to watch them play this way.

[ElNono]

starters back in?

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

How many free throws has Ginobli missed now? 4? 5? Goddamn it.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard played too well. Bench time.

[Mikeanaro]

WTF!? they havent scored in like 2 weeks.

[lefty]

:lol Gino Smith

[SpurPadre]

Teams should really consider hack-a-Manu in the playoffs, tbh.

[marinoman]

Do some hack a deandre

[Beaverfuzz]

They know exactly where the Spurs are passing the ball.

[BillMc]

It seems like Manu splits every free throw these days. So weird.

Oh, wait. He missed them both.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

This is fucking atrocious

[Budkin]

So tony can't get a call to save his life but piece of shit rivers gets sneezed on and it's a foul?

Clippers are more exciting right now tbh.

[Mal]

3 missed fts, 3 turnovers alone in 4th quater

[SpurPadre]

OH MY GOD, we cut it to 14, that's way too close for Doc, so he calls a timeout, lol.

[beirmeistr]

Manu Oneal

[Horse]

Stupid fuck van gundy sucking off the clips. The fact that they're not up 30 shows they suck balls.

[lefty]

At least we are not Portland

[timtonymanu]

The Hawks would beat us by 30 right now, tbh.

Hawks look like the team to beat. If you want to take away the "respect the defending champs" belief.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fucking scrub Rivers is playing game of his life
Seems like scrubs become all-stars when they've been playing Spurs this year.

[EVAY]

They know exactly where the Spurs are passing the ball.

Yes they do. It has been clear for some time that the 'beautiful game' offensive sets have been scouted by everybody on the planet, and folks have caught on how to interrupt it.

[313]

Kawhi had 24 in 3 quarters & They just stopped giving him The ball

[diego]

but neither took a single shot in the third and we are down worse than we were at the half. Got to find something other than shooting.

they were getting good looks from 3 in the first half, part of the 3rd. this team relies heavily on the 3 to fall, not surprised we went down after missing so many open looks. jordan got into everyones head, i dont even want to see what the pts in the paint are- if you cant do damage inside you have to make it up at the 3 pt line.

[FkLA]

Manu's FT shooting is getting really fucking old. No excuse for that, he's a SG tbh.

[vander]

lets get some Diaw in the post and try to foul out Hawes/Jordan

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

The gap between 7th and 4th is measly, but the Spurs can't get through the stretch without dropping big games.

[ElNono]

Pop about to mail it in, tbh

[BatManu20]

Got damn there's a timeout every 30 seconds this qtr

[SpurPadre]

Hawks look like the team to beat. If you want to take away the "respect the defending champs" belief.

We're going to right this ship but until then, it's been ugly trying to get there.

[hoopdreams11]

is his fault whoever bonner is guarding is a mismatch

[Malik Hairston]

Might as well hack-a-Jordan, Chris Paul is just scoring at will, tbh..

[EVAY]

Pop about to mail it in, tbh

Well, the team mailed it in a long time ago, so he might as well too.

[SpurPadre]

Might as well hack-a-Jordan, Chris Paul is just scoring at will, tbh..

Yeah but they could neutralize that with hack-a-Manu.

[timtonymanu]

We're going to right this ship but until then, it's been ugly trying to get there.

Yep, the Spurs have no one to beat but themselves.

[313]

Who does Danny think he is

[marinoman]

Spurs are saving their A-game for the playoffs

[Horse]

Paul frontrunning as usual

[Mikeanaro]

QUIET! I THINK WE GOT THIS! :flag:

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Not even a challenge for Clippers to drive the ball in.

[SpurPadre]

Jordan is owning TD.

[beirmeistr]

spurs need to put in ovrrtime with the shooting coach

[Rescueone]

Wow here comes a 20 point defeat at home

[Hemotivo]

:wow kiwi

[KaiRMD1]

Hopefully the old sports head back to the gym and learn to hit shots. Way too many misses on easy shots

[EVAY]

50-31 rebounding edge. That is the story of the game. That and Griffin and Hawes

[loveforthegame]

Leonard cold now.

[Budkin]

Clips getting payback for the amount we've owned them.

[lefty]

:rollin det rebounding

[Darius Bieber]

This season is over.

[hoopdreams11]

white flag

[dabom]

Leonard cold now.

Why is he even out there? Is he supposed to give a dam?

[Horse]

I've said it before it's got to be the space jam aliens.

[313]

Well you Parker haters got what you wanted. No ball hogging from Enrique this half.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs will follow up this terrible loss with more "meh" effort

[Malik Hairston]

Duncan looking terrible on D, which has been the case for this entire month..

[FaM0us Skins]

We can't rebound at all tonight.

[313]

50-31 rebounding edge. That is the story of the game. That and Griffin and Hawes

And turnovers. And missing easy shots.

[ducks]

Spurs bench in 2 quarter got their lead to 15 played even since

[lefty]

Fucking Parker can't rebound

Coward

[Nathan89]

Finally got some garbage time.

[Mikeanaro]

Well you Parker haters got what you wanted. No ball hogging from Enrique this half.
The damage is already done.

[Darius Bieber]

Losing by 20+ to a team who just lost to a Davis-less Pelicans. This shit is pathetic. Blow this team up.

[SpurPadre]

Reggie just missed a shot. Fuck him. NEXT.

[Johnny RIngo]

Chris Paul is just scoring at will, tbh..

Not that surprising. Paul's a star point guard. Parker's a cancerous system player. Have them switch teams and SA is the best in the league while Clippers fall to the lottery.

[FkLA]

Hope a Clipper tears their ACL tbh.

[Death In June]

This commentary team is full of cocksuckers

[marinoman]

I don't care about seeding but we are often playing like shit. Please us to play Portland rd 1

[Horse]

Funny how Paul can his these 4th quarter shots with a 20 pt lead. Starters still in scared pussy doc

[EVAY]

The damage is already done.

Hey man, according to you guys, all the Spurs have to do is have Parker not take "ball hog" and the Spurs win all the time. So how come the Clippers lead got BIGGER when Parker wasn't taking any shots?

[313]

Are these faggots really stat padding

[FkLA]

Hey man, according to you guys, all the Spurs have to do is have Parker not take "ball hog" and the Spurs win all the time. So how come the Clippers lead got BIGGER when Parker wasn't taking any shots?

There's a difference between not ballhogging and not shooting at all, moron.

[spursparker9]

Jordan is owning TD.

Jordan taking it out on TD for the all star snub

[daslicer]

Jordan taking it out on TD for the all star snub

He had a great game defensively but the man is not an all-star and never will be.

[lefty]

Pop being a cuck, classing it up with Doc
