Game Thread: Spurs @ Raptors: Sunday, Feb 8, 2015 6:00PM CST

[timtonymanu]

Lol, Tony goes out with the Spurs down 10. Joseph comes in and gives him a 9 pt lead. Parker subs back in and the Spurs have to call timeout after 4 straight points by Toronto. The dude is playing like shit and looks life a shell of his former self. He doesn't drive like he used to and has lost his quickness. Joseph deserves more minutes right now because Tony is playing like shit. Injury or no injury.

Exactly my concern too. Watch what you say though. The sensitive Parker fans will chastise you.

[TheGreatYacht]

These fucking refs man

[KL2]

Brown calling out Pop for playing TP over Cojo lmao

[ElNono]

cant get a call now

[SupremeGuy]

No one likes you :lol quit being desperate for mentions, go OD on some heroine or something lmaoFaggot lebron/cav fan

[spurraider21]

parker and manu with beautiful ball movement and kawhi bricks...

[NASpurs]

Duncan playing like a TOSB

[ElNono]

everything is a foul now? :lol

[01Snake]

There goes the lead

[hater]

:lmao Evita

Destroyed by Derozan

[GB20]

come on !!

[SpursFan86]

Wow. Starters came back in and blew this lead even quicker than expected.

[spurraider21]

bench carrying us today tbh

[itzsoweezee]

Duncan's gotta be able to score.

[Arc]

parker has been moving the ball nicely. the other starters are flat as fuck. can't hit the ocean.

[loveforthegame]

Sloppy Diaw.

[spurraider21]

everything is a foul now? :lol
home country calls

[NASpurs]

-17...

[SpurPadre]

TD' s been bad this quarter on both ends.

[PingPong]

Kiwi + Parker isn't working right now. Too much selfish.

[pgardn]

parker and manu with beautiful ball movement and kawhi bricks...

Keep that up, it will fall.

[TheGreatYacht]

parker and manu with beautiful ball movement and kawhi bricks...
Shhhh some people are watching the box score, not the game

[cantthinkofanything]

Brown calling out Pop for playing TP over Cojo lmaoWho?

[Perry Mason]

Wow. Starters came back in and blew this lead even quicker than expected.

Basketball is a game of runs. Second unit is suspectible to the same things. Starters right now are moving well, but shots are not falling. I still think Spurs are outplaying them.

[hater]

Put Ferrari in sit Evita

[Johnny RIngo]

-17...

He always has the worst plus-minus every game. Can't be a coincidence, right guys?

[Robz4000]

This is the worst I've seen Leonard play since he came back tbh.

[SpursFan86]

Big 3 combining to go 2-17

[KL2]

Refs are carrying them lmao

[cantthinkofanything]

Duncan with no ups at all tonight

[hater]

Derozan owns Evita tbh. Pop needs to solve that mismatch

[spurraider21]

Keep that up, it will fall.
have had some good looks, just not falling yet. the ball movement is there though

[NASpurs]

He always has the worst plus-minus every game. Can't be a coincidence, right guys?

Just a 36 point difference between him and CJ

[GB20]

fucking ref

[itzsoweezee]

Tiago's completely outplayed Duncan this game.

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker/Duncan just awful tonight.

[ElNono]

damn, Manu was +12 with the bench guys... currently at -1 :lol

[pgardn]

Duncan got fouled but that slow move without more body won't work.

[KL2]

Who?

Potato head

[tmtcsc]

The sensitive Parker fans will chastise you.

Lol, it didn't take long. Id be the first to compliment any Spurs player - including Tony - if they are playing well. The energy and vibe are gone when TP is on the floor tonight. Corey comes in with active legs and gets things going. Better defensive intensity, better ball movement, better everything.

TD looks slow and Leonard is a bit off too. But right now, with TP at the helm, he is -18 if I'm not mistaken. Corey goes off the floor and Toronto cuts the lead to 1 at half-time.

[midnightpulp]

Can't close a half. What else is new?

[Blizzardwizard]

Love Air Canada Centre, great building for basketball.

[milkyway21]

Spurs 1 Off rbd vs Toronto 8 off rbdd...

[NASpurs]

Duncan and Parker need some rest in the second half. There's a big game tomorrow against the Pacers

[Pocho La Pantera]

Derozan owns Evita tbh. Pop needs to solve that mismatchyeah, you said it like ahundred times already, nobody gives a fuck. What about your french lover??:lmao

[dabom]

damn, Manu was +12 with the bench guys... currently at -1 :lol

:lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Battle of the 3/9's:
Kawhi 6pts, 0 ast, -14
vs
DeRozan 11pts, 2ast, +9

[ElNono]

we did great work with the defense, tbh... we're currently shooting 36%/30%... they're 44%/42%...

gotta get back to that

[bklynspursfan]

Duncan should face up more and shoot the mid range shot. His runner and other looks under the basket have been easily stopped. Liked Tiago tonight, he's playing with some grittiness

[Perry Mason]

What a load of crap. Starters are moving, but they are not as hot on their shooting. The GOAT of the second unit this game is Marco, a player most of you guys hate. Baynes and Splitter and Corey have played smart too.

TD has played decently, but on offense he is forcing things. Parker has only taken 4 shots, is cold, but has moved fine and played decent defense. Don't you want him passing and not shooting if he is cold?

If you keep the second unit in the game and don't put in the starters, the game will be lost. Because, you see, you cannot have the second unit play 48 minutes. Do you suggest that they play 48 minutes?

[cantthinkofanything]

Potato head

Whos Brown.

[KL2]

Duncan at this stage would still be one of the most athletic big men in the old nba tbh.

[dabom]

Tony is a fucking cancer. -18 in 13 mins

Starters can't carry his sorry as no more.

[FkLA]

I know he's the man but Timmy can get into isomode sometimes too. That coupled with Enrique's need to dribble dribble dribble kills the movement tbh.

[KL2]

Whos Brown.

Who?

[spurtech09]

when are the refs going to stop screwing the spurs.....the refs have been doing this since the 1st game of the season....and there still screwing the spurs...

[DMC]

Manu 1-5
Tony 0-4
Tim 1-8

Way to show up for Coach Pop.

The +... neither of them have a turnover.

[dabom]

And patty getting no minutes. :lol

elnono it's happening. :lmao

[ChumpDumper]

Duncan at this stage would still be one of the most athletic big men in the old nba tbh.lol spam

[boutons_deux]

Spurs shooting sucks, 36%. has happened TOO MANY halves, games, is why Spurs must scrape by with a close wins over crap teams, or lose.

[spurtech09]

Refs are carrying them lmaoagree

[RD2191]

Big 3 playing like shit. Kawhi not far behind. Miracle we have the lead.

[KL2]

lol spam


Kyle Anderson would've had NBA size back then, bigger than most guys his position, probably would've dominated many scrub teams.

[dabom]

Pop keeps playing tony. :lol

[SupremeGuy]

For anyone that's interested, this is the thread (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/showthread.php?t=244080&highlight=pistons+hate+machine) that outed TheGreatFaggot as a lebron/cavs fan.

He's a fucking bitch that comes here only to talk shit about the person that still gives him and his faggot hero nightmares, Kawhi. Pretty much ultimate faggot.

Idk. Someone said , "Brown calling out Pop...". I was thinking he might have thought Hubie was calling the game or something.

:downspin: :wakeup :lmao

[milkyway21]

wake - up Tony !!!

[KL2]

Idk. Someone said , "Brown calling out Pop...". I was thinking he might have thought Hubie was calling the game or something.

Mike Brown.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

They gotta stop this weak pick and roll. Duncan is way too slow and there's already 2 people at the rim by the time he gets to it, and Parker/Ginobili are barely drawing any defense.

[ElNono]

And patty getting no minutes. :lol

elnono it's happening. :lmao

I'm partial to patty, but credit to cojo, he played well

[SupremeGuy]

:downspin: :wakeup :lmao:toast

[spurtech09]

by the looks of it the refs are going to screw the spurs in the 1st round of the playoffs...that's if they maintain a good record and make the play offs

[Arc]

cojo is getting minutes over patty cause toronto is his hometown.

[dabom]

cojo is getting minutes over patty cause toronto is his hometown.

And why is tony getting minutes over patty?

[Perry Mason]

damn, Grizz beat hawks.

[DJR210]

:lol why does Mike Brown keep saying "we"?

[RD2191]

And why is tony getting minutes over patty?
Because france/Canada

[NASpurs]

If the starters start strong the second half, Spurs win

[KL2]

Part of it is these refs, worst officiating I've seen in a spurs game this season, things are not being called equal. Raptors are holding/grabbing, pushing, neutralizing many Spurs scoring opportunities. Meanwhile the Spurs can't play anywhere as physical defensively.

Leonard got fouled numerous times, no calls. This would've affected Derozan's # of fouls and playing time taking him off the court same with those TD fouls.

[NASpurs]

Hallelujah

[spurtech09]

its time for tony to wake up....

[cantthinkofanything]

Mike Brown.

Thanks. Guessing this was from somewhere else.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard finally.

[KL2]

That play starts with KY

[loveforthegame]

Keep going to Leonard in the post. He's drawing the double teams.

[NASpurs]

:wow

[cantthinkofanything]

Nice start

[ElNono]

very good defense, and shots finally falling :tu

[Johnny RIngo]

much better energy this half

[Mikeanaro]

Yeah, Enrique made 2 baskets but Spurs are playing great basketball right now.

[coachmac87]

CHAMPIONSHIP BALL

[timtonymanu]

Better shots from Parker and Duncan/Leonard hopefully getting into rhythm now.

[Ice009]

Why did James Johnson not even get a training camp invite with the Spurs when they had him in for workouts during the 2013 off-season? I'm very curious why the Spurs didn't think he was good enough even for a training camp invite.

[dabom]

Kawhi so beast

[spurtech09]

spurs look better when moving the ball.....but when Duncan is in there the spurs look slow

[Perry Mason]

Why did James Johnson not even get a training camp invite with the Spurs when they had him in for workouts during the 2013 off-season? I'm very curious why the Spurs didn't think he was good enough even for a training camp invite.

I don't think he was able to move as well then as he is now. Guy has a lot of confidence.

[KL2]

Parker can't create separation from his speed, so now he's relying more on size to gain him position. He's barely 180lbs, he was able to use his body the other day against 170lb Napier to gain position and create/score. Lowry is too big and strong, TP can't create separation through body contact like he did against MIA.

If TP ever returns you will know when he starts creating separation through his speed, not bodily contact.

[Johnny RIngo]

the fuck was that pass Tony?

[NASpurs]

:lol regressing

[atoyotagaspedal]

parker... what was that pass?

[beirmeistr]

where is Patty?

[spurtech09]

spurs can never keep rolling....

[timtonymanu]

T up that guy!

[spurtech09]

horrible

[NASpurs]

Pop subbed out the wrong guys

[timtonymanu]

Went back to iso ball again. smh.

[loveforthegame]

Sit Parker.

[spurtech09]

this game is full of dog doodoo

[ElNono]

sounds easy, but gotta make shots

[Mikeanaro]

Enough Rique...

[loveforthegame]

Duncan. :(

[Johnny RIngo]

Spurs shooting 28% from three and Pop decided not to play one of our best three point shooters tonight

[PingPong]

Cory +19, Parker -19

[ChumpDumper]

sounds easy, but gotta make shotsTrue. Mostly good looks.

[spurtech09]

no more Duncan and parker plz

[KL2]

parker... what was that pass?

Hes a system passer, 90% of his assists are the result of Duncan and corner 3's, the system. His court vision is severely limited, Diaw/Manu are far superior.

[NASpurs]

Duncan is so bad right now :lol

[cantthinkofanything]

sounds easy, but gotta make shots

I don't remember Duncan ever having so much trouble getting a shot up

[Mikeanaro]

Sit that clown.

[ElNono]

lol @ the HERO signs on the back

[DapDaGenius]

Duncan needs to never throw the ball down the court again

[timtonymanu]

The top 4 scorers on the Spurs have to fucking show more fight than this.

[spurtech09]

bring in cojo and splitter plz

[LakerHater]

fuckn 10-0 run for Tor!

[PingPong]

Those boards... HERO

[SupremeGuy]

Another game that Pop would rather lose than make enrique look bad by playing CoJo and MVPatty, tbh.

[beirmeistr]

Sit that clown.

too vague, which one?

[NASpurs]

lol @ the HERO signs on the back

Did apo and Malik_Hairston make it to the game? :wow

[HI-FI]

Maybe Pop doesn't want to win 1000th game tonight so he's playing Parker.

[Robz4000]

Spurs look disgraceful. I knew the Heat game meant little but I thought it'd at least give them some momentum. Instead Duncan and Parker continue to suck and now Leonard looks bad.

[Ditty]

Another game that Pop would rather lose than make enrique look bad by playing CoJo and MVPatty, tbh.

That's exactly what Pop is thinking!

[Mikeanaro]

Spurs need to start winning games if they want a good seeding fuck when every west team start losing it Spurs lose too.

[spurtech09]

I can understand Duncan but tony parker?......whats the deal with parker

[KL2]

Parker needs to bulk up his body with lean muscle like Mills, needs to do something drastic.

[Mikeanaro]

too vague, which one?
Porker the Tony.

[ElNono]

hows that not a foul?

[KL2]

Brown sort of sounds like Obama

[spurtech09]

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Can we get some youth in there please? Our old guys are getting destroyed.

[cantthinkofanything]

Jeezus

[Amuseddaysleeper]

This team looks a hundred times worse in person

[ElNono]

fouled again smh

[r0drig0lac]

timmy please

[td4mvp21]

Oh my god at the level of suck.

[loveforthegame]

Missing too many easy shots.

Duncan. :depressed

[Arc]

jesus. the parker haters on this forum have succeeded in turning people to hating their own players for no reason. parker isn't the problem and if you can't see that then you don't know basketball at all.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Cmon Duncan how are you gonna let the worst defensive center in the league block you this many times

[NASpurs]

Duncan has no lift. All his shit gets rejected and lol Manu

[Johnny RIngo]

Manu missing layups

[HI-FI]

Officiating is fucking garbage. Been that way most of the season.

[timtonymanu]

jesus. the parker haters on this forum have succeeded in turning people to hating their own players for no reason. parker isn't the problem and if you can't see that then you don't know basketball at all.

Spoken like a true player fan that refuses to criticize players because of past accomplishments.

[spurtech09]

spurs are making it harder than what it is.....spurs should be blowing out this team

[ace3g]

Patty checking in

[Perry Mason]

The NBATV announcer basically just said Diaw has a fat ass.

[beirmeistr]

Patty!

[timtonymanu]

Oh now Patty plays. Please, Pop.

[SpurPadre]

Unfuckingbelievable

[spurtech09]

spurs are better than this but yet there playing like garbage....plus the refs are just horrible

[cantthinkofanything]

Someone need to see if Parker took the Raptors +2.

[NASpurs]

Oh now Patty plays. Please, Pop.

Gotta give Porker his minutes.

[SpurPadre]

What happened to the team that played most of the second quarter?

[ElNono]

it's ridiculous they get a whistle on every ticky tacky shit, and we get mauled with no call

[Ditty]

Lou Williams is back in the game. We will be fine now.

[spurtech09]

patty to the rescue

[Nathan89]

On the bright side the fo sign Tony for three years before other teams tried to steal him away.

[loveforthegame]

Dumb foul Manu. Good grief.

[spurtech09]

all I can say is the raptors don't have nothing

[SpurPadre]

Are we the worst 3rd quarter team in the league this season?

[ElNono]

Dumb foul Manu. Good grief.

frustration foul

[LakerHater]

Stupid Patty!!

[timtonymanu]

The 4 best scorers were total garbage today. They get the blame if we lose, tbh.

[HI-FI]

That valuncias or whatever seems like a massive faggot.

[FkLA]

The refs are fucking shit today tbh.

[NASpurs]

In and out, fuck

[beirmeistr]

somebody drive!

[loveforthegame]

What a hot mess.

[Johnny RIngo]

looking like the same shitty Spurs team that got blown out by the Clippers

[spurtech09]

ugly ugly ugly

[timtonymanu]

Ugh. Shitty ass quarter.

[SpurPadre]

Dr. Jeckyl and Mr. Hyde act from Manu tonight.

[bklynspursfan]

bad first, good second, bad third...... ???

[loveforthegame]

Nice deflection Manu.

[ElNono]

[spurtech09]

maybe if we stop complaining the spurs will play better

[HI-FI]

it's ridiculous they get a whistle on every ticky tacky shit, and we get mauled with no call
Classic Stern move imo

[Robz4000]

:lol wow this offense is terrible

[pgardn]

One of the worst qrts. of basketball this season.

[timtonymanu]

Wake the fuck up, assholes.

[jeebus]

:lol Manure

[ElNono]

58 pts... the offense is just shit

[loveforthegame]

We should be down 20. I can't believe its only 6.

[Budkin]

12 pts lol

[Robz4000]

The entire team is fucking chucking

[spurtech09]

how much points did the spurs score in the 3rd Qtr lol

[Blizzardwizard]

Manu throwing up a complete brick at the end of the quarter per par.

[cantthinkofanything]

Good thing the Raptors suck. They should be up 15

[SpurPadre]

Ugh, is the Walking Dead on? That was painful to watch.

[hater]

:lmao Evita what the fuck is he doing our there

[RD2191]

[Johnny RIngo]

Good thing the Raptors suck. They should be up 15

Leastern Conference for sure

[timtonymanu]

Ugh, is the Walking Dead on? That was painful to watch.

That's what I think of the Walking Dead, tbh. :lol

[NASpurs]

And CoJo was actually playing alright. Poop and his shitty rotations.

[PingPong]

Six points? Just take Kiwi out, put Green and play the bench whole 4th quarter. Win.

[dabom]

Pop icing the team. Lol

[Trainwreck2100]
