Go Spurs! :flag:

[Darius Bieber]

Gonna be another loss tbh

[look_at_g_shred]

Gonna be another loss tbh
Your so cool dude!

[Silver&Black]

Gonna be Pop's 1000th win tbh

fify

[hater]

Paul George gonna put a whipping on his old team :pctoss

[RD2191]

This season is a bust. Predictable 1st or 2nd round exit. Just a shitfest. Oh well. Gotta go down with the ship.:flag:

[cantthinkofanything]

Hopefully Pop doesn't decide to be Pop and rest the Big 3. Actually...

[in2deep]

Indy just beat cleveland I think.

they are no slouch atm

if Spurs come out with same lackluster effort as last night it will be lights out and a 0-2 start to the RRT

[ElNono]

:flag:

[BillMc]

:flag:

Spurs 96-80

[Cloud786]

same shit, different day

[TXstbobcat]

1,000th win for Pop!!!! :flag:

[TMTTRIO]

With Manu limping last night near the end of the game I'm hoping Pop will sit him tonight.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs have been shit lately, but I will be seriously disappointed if they lose this game.

[cantthinkofanything]

Spurs have been shit lately, but I will be seriously disappointed if they lose this game.

after last night's performance, if they don't come out and play with some intensity, I will have Pop fired and 2 of the big 3 traded.

[heyheymymy]

:flag:

[Legacy]

same shit, different day

Right? I swear to God that I was a Spurs fan-- not a Jazz fan. :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

564926459098062848

[Cloud786]

expect another slow start from the starters

[Dex]

Some of you people need to get the ants out of your drawers, god damn.

[ElNono]

Yeah, I figured Gino would be a scratch for tonight's game...

[ElNono]

With Manu limping last night near the end of the game I'm hoping Pop will sit him tonight.

you got it

[Mugen]

:lol Surprised if we win tonight tbh.

[Silver&Black]

:flag::lobt2::lobt2::lobt2::lobt2::lobt2::flag:

[beirmeistr]

With Manu limping last night near the end of the game I'm hoping Pop will sit him tonight.

maybe he can do some passing from the bench.

[ElNono]

:lol Surprised if we win tonight tbh.

:lol

[ElNono]

:flag:

[Robz4000]

:lol Surprised if we win tonight tbh.

Same. Might not win another one this season.

[Silver&Black]

LDN 4 33333333333333

[Silver&Black]

5-5 from the field.....

[Silver&Black]

TP looking good.

Great sign. Keep it up.....

[TheGreatYacht]

MVParker, tbh

[rasuo214]

Parker shitting on George Hill.

[NASpurs]

MVPorker looking good :tu

[Uriel]

Who the F is this guy who's not Sean Elliott whose voice sounds like his throat is perpetually clogged with phleghm?

[Robz4000]

Defense is terrible, but Tony looks good at least; not forcing bad shots.

[ViceCity86]

2013 Parker so far.

[lofds]

Who the F is this guy who's not Sean Elliott whose voice sounds like his throat is perpetually clogged with phleghm?That would be former assistant coach, PJ Carlesimo.

TP looking alright.

[NASpurs]

Who the F is this guy who's not Sean Elliott whose voice sounds like his throat is perpetually clogged with phleghm?

Just a guy who's been with the organization for five, ten years and got a ring on 2007

[BillMc]

Like the O so far.

[Silver&Black]

Kiwi 4 33333333333333

[Nathan89]

Who the F is this guy who's not Sean Elliott whose voice sounds like his throat is perpetually clogged with phleghm?

Sprewell's stress reliever

[NASpurs]

:lol George looking overrated as usual

[Hoops Czar]

Kiwi 4 33333333333333

TONY for the asssssssisssst!

[ElNono]

can't extend the lead...

[Cloud786]

Sprewell's stress reliever

:lmao

[BillMc]

I got here a little late. Is Manu active?

[BatManu20]

Who the F is this guy who's not Sean Elliott whose voice sounds like his throat is perpetually clogged with phleghm?

How do you not know who P.J. Carlesimo is tbh..

[Uriel]

That's Carlesimo? :lol I never would've imagined he'd sound like that.

[Robz4000]

Defense is just terrible. Spurs are shooting 60%+ yet only lead by 3.

[Arc]

tony started hot but now he's taking too many jumpers. he needs to start attacking after he misses two jumpers in a row.

[TDfan2007]

Red hot start and we're still only up 3. Oh well, I almost prefer us not to go up early.

[Hoops Czar]

Pacers basically getting whatever they want.

[Uriel]

Sprewell's stress reliever
:lol :lol :lol :lol :lol :lol

[BatManu20]

Ah come on Patty

[ElNono]

damn, we have a 5 vs 3 and we turn it over

[Robz4000]

:lol this team is so bad right now

[$pursDynasty]

2nd unit without Evita looks LOST

[BatManu20]

Missing a lot of good looks now.. Where's MVParker

[spurraider21]

we should have never traded scola

[Uriel]

Of course that goes in.

[TDfan2007]

:lol I swear how often do those garbage-ass shots fall against us...?

[TDfan2007]

Was wondering why the bench looked so bad and I realized that Manu is being rested tonight.

[Arc]

we're getting open looks like crazy, man.. our shooting just isn't good this year. dunno what's going on tbh.

[$pursDynasty]

maybe this unit needs some CoJo because Boris isn't running the point like he should with this lineup.

[NASpurs]

Brazilian God doing work

[TheGreatYacht]

Refs carrying

[TDfan2007]

:lol back to back atrocious calls. That should never be a shooting foul...ever.

[LakerHater]

Thats not a foul!!

[LakerHater]

But no foul for Patty!!

[BatManu20]

D has to get better and hopefully guys start knocking gown those open looks. Could be in for another grind-it-out type of game.

[timtonymanu]

Allowing 28 points? Really.

[TDfan2007]

I'm liking the energy so far for the second night of a b2b. Just gotta knock down these open shots. Not sure what the hell has been going on, but nobody on our team besides Marco has been able to throw it into the ocean lately.

Nice to see Tony's hot start too. I just hope he doesn't fall in love with that mid-range J and keeps attacking.

[r0drig0lac]

Spurs can not win games easily against anyone

[TDfan2007]

Allowing 28 points? Really.

Some bad D, but also some flukey shot-making by Indiana. They got 5 points off of a bullshit 3 by Scola and a bullshit call on Patty.

[Silver&Black]

:lmao Pacerefs

[TDfan2007]

I HATE this zone defense bullshit. We're awful at it and the opponent scores almost every time.

[LakerHater]

C'mon, now a block out is a foul?

[jeebus]

Shitter needs to find his balls already so he can start again. A chimp could be the backup center with this great 2nd unit.

[barbacoataco]

Missing open shots. Both teams playing hard. Maybe they'll go on a run.

[Uriel]

Shitter needs to find his balls already so he can start again. A chimp could be the backup center with this great 2nd unit.
That "chimp" would be Matt Bonner / Aron Baynes.

[ElNono]

MVPatty!

[Silver&Black]

Patty Mills 4 33333333....

My nigga

[Uriel]

I HATE this zone defense bullshit. We're awful at it and the opponent scores almost every time.
Blame Messina and his newfangled Euro ideas.

[TDfan2007]

Embarrassing flop there by Patty...

[LakerHater]

Man, Spurs hav been runnin out to the opponent shooters alot lately!

[TDfan2007]

I'm not expecting us to hit every shot, but man it's dumbfounding to watch a team full of shooters miss open shot after open shot.

[Silver&Black]

Man, Spurs hav been runnin out to the opponent shooters alot lately!

Especially with this zone

[BatManu20]

Jump ball? Wtf that was clearly a block you dipshits. Smh refs

[loveforthegame]

Hmm.

[Silver&Black]

C'mon TP you gotta finish that....

:pctoss

[LakerHater]

WTF Tony

[ElNono]

MVEnrique

[Cry Havoc]

Nice pass!!!!

[Silver&Black]

Timmy running the floor....

My Nigga

[ElNono]

TD & Marco understand each other well

[jeebus]

That "chimp" would be Matt Bonner / Aron Baynes.
Exactly. Luckily, a chimp is a superior player than Errors.

[TDfan2007]

:lol 38 year old on the 2nd night of a b2b beating everyone down the floor. Love Timmy's play so far tonight. Couple of great blocks too.

[TDfan2007]

Marco is a fantastic passer and underrated pnr player. It's just too bad that his D is so atrocious, but against teams like Indians the Spurs can hide it.

[Cry Havoc]

Tim 6 in a row

[Silver&Black]

Timmy going to work....

My nigga

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan for 8 in a row! The man is doing it.

[Cry Havoc]

Ball movement is suddenly looking as good as it has all year. :tu

[Silver&Black]

10-0 run

[TDfan2007]

Timmy going vintage tonight so far.

[LakerHater]

C'mon Kawhi!

[bklynspursfan]

Tim needs to play like this all the time. Quick decisive moves.

[Cry Havoc]

Leonard getting HAMMERED with no call.

[ElNono]

Kawhi got hammered, no call

[LakerHater]

http://i57.tinypic.com/1zyycz9.jpg

[dabom]

Kawhi got hammered, no call
twice

[Robz4000]

Leonard really kills the offense if his jumper isn't falling; he really loves that shot of his.

[Cry Havoc]

:lol Hill

[Silver&Black]

Tech on Georgie

:lmao

[LakerHater]

Wow these refs are really bad!

[Cry Havoc]

Hill goes into 4 defenders and wants a foul call? lol ok

[ElNono]

George was fouled there

[TheGreatYacht]

Thank god Indy was dumb enough to go through with that trade :lol

[TDfan2007]

Now we've gone cold. That was fantastic D by Hibbert, but I still love Timmy mixing it up.

[dabom]

Leonard really kills the offense if his jumper isn't falling; he really loves that shot of his.

he cant get a call when he drives. wtf lol

[dabom]

Thank god Indy was dumb enough to go through with that trade :lol

Announcers trying to defend that trade. :lmao

[TDfan2007]

One thing I've noticed about Kawhi is that he has trouble staying on balance when he takes his pullup shots/floaters. Gotta work on that.

[Cloud786]

that kingslayer t-shirt was fucking awesome

[ElNono]

damn danny

[Robz4000]

Spurs are getting outplayed again.

[ElNono]

yeah, that's an 8 point turnaround just on Danny...

[Nathan89]

Boris running back as slow as possible

[Arc]

danny misses a 3. danny gives up a 3. dany turnover. danny fouls..

damn danny...

[ElNono]

Tony started really aggressive, then completely disappeared... need more from him...

[Cloud786]

bonner :lol

[Robz4000]

:lmao fuck off Bonner

[TDfan2007]

Man...what is it with this team and not closing out quarters? Danny looks like the newest member of the "I'm fatigued and can't play well anymore" club.

[Brunodf]

danny misses a 3. danny gives up a 3. dany turnover. danny fouls..

damn danny...
He is getting the max

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurs need to hire this clock keeper... Maybe he'll start the clock sooner with 0.4 seconds left


http://youtu.be/4OG9ixC45PI

[MI21]

Every time the Spurs get a 6 to 8 point lead, they give it all back almost instantly. It's so frustrating.

[urunobili]

It's creepy how they can't put teams away anymore. Every team in the league seems to have a chance against us... The loss vs Toronto stinks even more now

[LakerHater]

http://i59.tinypic.com/169meqw.jpg

[ElNono]

:lol

[LakerHater]

WTF TONY!!!

[Rescueone]

Why the hell is Bonner playing

[LakerHater]

Why is Bonner in!?!?!??

[RD2191]

Garbage

[FkLA]

holy shit Enrique :lmao

[Hoops Czar]

Is Danny Green good at anything?

[ElNono]

hate Douchevid West

[loveforthegame]

That Bonner extension is coming. He'll be maxed before Keonard.

[ElNono]

:lmao Red Rocket

[TheGreatYacht]

Parker, Duncan, & Kawhi need some help

[Rescueone]

Sit the fuck down Bonner!!

[Mugen]

Really glad we decided to go with Matty tonight, Pop.

[Uriel]

It boggles the mind how this exact same group of players eviscerated the NBA on the way to a championship just last year.

[Robz4000]

The Spurs are so mediocre god damn

[TDfan2007]

:lol we are just so damn bad. Everything is a struggle, even against a mediocre, injury-ridden team like Indiana.

[007nites]

Timmy denying Hibbert at the rim. 4 blocks for Tim.

[Uriel]

564953536882958336

[TheGreatYacht]

Trade Deadline is coming up, blow this sumbitch open, RC.. :lol

[Darius Bieber]

big balls

[Cry Havoc]

BELIIIII

[hater]

:lmao Bonner on West

:lol Pop going for his 1000 win and putting Bonner on West :lmao

[Rescueone]

Here is where the Spurs better keep it close, or else they will get blowed out

[Robz4000]

The Spurs literally went from being the best passing team in NBA history to a terrible one this season. Just so much isoball my Kawhi, Tony, and Tim.

[Silver&Black]

FUCK

[Mugen]

:lol What a garbage team tbh.

[r0drig0lac]

lol

[Darius Bieber]

Pop getting mad at the refs where he should be mad at himself and the team.

[LakerHater]

Offense looks like shit!!

[ElNono]

bottom falling out....

Get well soon, Gino...

[Robz4000]

:lmao this team literally gives no effort

[loveforthegame]

Well.

[Arc]

diaw needs a 1 month break. he is just pure garbage right now.

[LakerHater]

Coach pop doesnt wanna watch this shit anymore eithr!

[TheGreatYacht]

Let Messina coach

[BackHome]

Like Kawhi but no way does he deserve a max contract...

[beirmeistr]

come on, Patty

[itzsoweezee]

Boris Diaw is about as active as a corpse.

[Cry Havoc]

There we go, Boris.

[Rescueone]

I guess they are waving the white flag already

[Cry Havoc]

Sleepwalking through the most loaded conference in NBA history.

[boutons_deux]

that's game, spurs can't score

[hater]

:lmao 1000 win :lol Pop shitting the Bed

[Texas_Ranger]

this is sad. What a disappointment this team is so far.

[ElNono]

:yield

[Silver&Black]

This defense is atrocious....

[Darius Bieber]

Gonna be another loss tbh

:wakeup:wakeup:wakeup

[BatManu20]

http://i60.tinypic.com/15eeigz.png

[Mugen]

:lol I guess we can use coasting as an excuse to getting blown out by a garbage East team.

[TXstbobcat]

Great fucking 3rd quarter :bang

[timtonymanu]

Gutless turds.

[ElNono]

:lol losing to a 20-32 team
:lol still heavily relying on a 37 year old to carry your second unit
:lol Spurms

[r0drig0lac]

while parker and kawhi are disputing who is the leader of the team, playing iso all the time, this team can lose to any one, not to mention that Green can not make an open shot and Diaw disappeared

[Robz4000]

This team is just not good this season. No hunger or drive, and Tony has fallen off a cliff.

[beirmeistr]

there should be an amber alert for the backbone of the Spurs

[Mugen]

This team is easily softer than any team that RJ was on tbh.....:lol

[TDfan2007]

This is as bad as I've seen this team since 2010. At least then we had the excuse of bad players. This year it's a bunch of talented guys playing like shit and giving embarrassing levels of effort.

[urunobili]

Can someone please bump the gutless worms thread? Thanks

[Cry Havoc]

Time to hit the panic button yet? Maybe not, but if we look like this after the All-star break, even an optimist myself is gonna start to have doubts about how much this team wants it.

At least we got 5.

[FkLA]

We suck ass

[PingPong]

Why the heck Pop didn't put Baynes against a scrub like Whittington?

[BatManu20]

Arguably the best part of ST is watching the meltdowns when the Spurs are shitting the bed. Never fails :lol

[Budkin]

About ready to panic for real.

[LakerHater]

damn Diaw

[BillMc]

Weird. The Spurs of the last 3 years all looked vastly better than this team. Not really sure what happened.

[marinoman]

How is happening

[Rescueone]

Not looking good

[Cry Havoc]

There's patty. Airball.

[FkLA]

This is all Fat Enrique's fault.

[bklynspursfan]

Would be nice to see this team show some heart for a change and come back and win this... Won't hold my breath

[BatManu20]

Patty is strugg-a-ling.

[Robz4000]

Man, I don't wanna see this team in the second half of the RRT. They could realistically go 0-9.

[Cry Havoc]

Thank god it's the ASB. We have some time to recollect ourselves.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs becoming the laughing stock of the league.

[ElNono]

:lol Pops don't give a shit anymore... gonna retire tomorrow with 999 wins

[Arc]

nah, there's no more excuses. this team just doesn't have the heart/fire/whatever you want to call it anymore.

[LakerHater]

34-18 period!!

[loveforthegame]

This is all Fat Enrique's fault.

It's all on Leonard. Everything is his fault don't you know.

[FkLA]

Weird. The Spurs of the last 3 years all looked vastly better than this team. Not really sure what happened.

http://i.imgur.com/vz3KS9q.jpg?1

[TXstbobcat]

Fuck this. It's time for a 4th quarter comeback.

[TDfan2007]

Time to hit the panic button yet? Maybe not, but if we look like this after the All-star break, even an optimist myself is gonna start to have doubts about how much this team wants it.

At least we got 5.

That thought is what is killing this team. They're not in it mentally. Either that, or somehow everyone has somehow gotten worse since last season.

[lofds]

Fucking disgraceful quarter. No intensity, not running any decent offense.

[spurtech09]

nah, there's no more excuses. this team just doesn't have the heart/fire/whatever you want to call it anymore.+1agree.....spurs don't have what it takes anymore

[TheGreatYacht]

Matrix disappearing like his usual self smh

[KaiRMD1]

This team just sucks, simple as that. People can't hit shit. Danny Green has seriously regressed from what he was doing in the beginning of the season. It's over folks.

[RD2191]

Rofl. This team is done. Bunch of scrubs.

[Cry Havoc]

That thought is what is killing this team. They're not in it mentally. Either that, or somehow everyone has somehow gotten worse since last season.

I just think after 3 years of long runs in the playoffs our guys are finding it hard to get up for these "meaningless" games. The intensity just isn't there. The nasty isn't there.

[TDfan2007]

I've officially lost count of how many times these guys have come out of the half flatter than week-old soda. Wtf goes on in our locker room?

[loveforthegame]

Matrix disappearing like his usual self smh

How about that Parker led team right?

[BillMc]

That thought is what is killing this team. They're not in it mentally. Either that, or somehow everyone has somehow gotten worse since last season.

Boris is definitely worse than last year, at minimum.

[atoyotagaspedal]

You think ESPN's NBA front page will have Pop for the 3rd time?

[icango]

wish someone would attack the basket!!!!

[TXstbobcat]

Marco333333

[Cry Havoc]

Beli to start. Okay. Let's claw back.

[spurtech09]

you can add that the refs aren't helping at all....

[Cry Havoc]

Marco looks like the best offensive player we have right now.

[marinoman]

The rrt is when the Spurs always get it together too

[rasuo214]

Calling it now, Spurs will win this game.

[Cry Havoc]

you can add that the refs aren't helping at all....

Fuck that. We're the champs. We should be winning by 20 with or without the zebras.

[Mugen]

http://i.imgur.com/vz3KS9q.jpg?1

crofl

[ElNono]

Boris has been such a mixed bag...

[Silver&Black]

Fuck this. It's time for a 4th quarter comeback.

My nigga....

I still believe.

[TDfan2007]

I just think after 3 years of long runs in the playoffs our guys are finding it hard to get up for these "meaningless" games. The intensity just isn't there. The nasty isn't there.

But that's the thing. Every game matters now because we're fighting for our playoff lives. I'd buy that argument if we were in November/December, but this is just embarrassing.

[FkLA]

Good things happen when the two best PGs on the team see the court.

[bklynspursfan]

Marco has gotten us back games before

[ElNono]

damn, Patty can't hit

[LakerHater]

wide open damn!

[Cry Havoc]

DAMMIT Patty. Fucking hit something.

[bklynspursfan]

Mills man.... Ugh

[unleashbaynes]

boris looks like absolute fuckin shit this year. lazy fuck.

[spurtech09]

patty mills in rest most

[Uriel]

Don't stop believin'

[Arc]

mills has been shooting it short all night.
