[timtonymanu]

4 on Leonard already, damn.

[TXstbobcat]

Manu3333333

[Cry Havoc]

Leonard playing unusually terrible for him. Rough. At least we're up doubles.

[FaM0us Skins]

Ginobili makes the three

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy finally scores

[ElNono]

great to finally see a good 3rd quarter

[Uriel]

Duncan hit a mid-range jump shot. :wow

[Cry Havoc]

Singler just shot an 18 footer with Baynes on him when he had Monroe in the post being guarded by Green. :lol :lol :lol

[FaM0us Skins]

TD!

[ElNono]

Need to start a "Kawhi can't hit the side of a barn" thread

[Silver&Black]

Timmy finally scores

NBA = F:lolcked

[TE]

Beautiful basketball. Sustained defense, rebounding is almost there. And their putting up open shots. Only a matter of time tbh.

[ChumpDumper]

Baynes playing really good D. That and timely doubles are frustrating Monroe.

[Blizzardwizard]

I love the silence on here when MVParker is lighting it up :lol

[Silver&Black]

Need to start a "Kawhi can't hit the side of a barn" thread

[SpurPadre]

Good thing they don't have Jennings but then again he did have a shit game when they played us prior to that GW shot.

[Cry Havoc]

I love the silence on here when MVParker is lighting it up :lol

:lol Dulls the "edge" around here if you get my drift.

[TheGreatYacht]

[TheGreatYacht]

I love the silence on here when MVParker is lighting it up :lol
:lmao

[RD2191]

In before pistons 20-0 run.

[Uriel]

:lol Pop calling a timeout after the Pistons shave 3 points off the lead

[RD2191]

I love the silence on here when MVParker is lighting it up :lol
Against the shit pistons. Nothing to brag about.

[KL2]

Users not found in this thread: KL2.

:lmao Bailing. Probably a wise move on his part.


Im im watching the game you sluts :lol

[timtonymanu]

OKC currently up 10 against Memphis.

OKC making that push to the 8th seed.

[Robz4000]

Detroit's flukey hot 3-point shooting keeping them around...

[TXstbobcat]

I love the silence on here when MVParker is lighting it up :lol

That probably means only 5 trade Parker threads will be started tonight.

[TheGreatYacht]

I'll say it again. Trade CancerJo for Tolliver :madrun

[Cry Havoc]

Against the shit pistons. Nothing to brag about.

Kawhi against the shit Pistons: 6 points 4 fouls. :lol


Im im watching the game you sluts :lol

Trying to play it off like you didn't just get embarrassed. :lmao

[ElNono]

Manu got Timmy going :tu

Why hy would I be embarassed?

[RD2191]

Is that you crying to kori?

[Cry Havoc]

Nice play danny!

[r0drig0lac]

WOW duncan

[KL2]

Players creating separation via bodily contact all over the court, wonder of anyone else is watching this.

[TXstbobcat]

[Uriel]

Amazing how much better our team is when our shots are falling.

[mrjap2x]

Danny with two nice drives in a row.

[ElNono]

:lol Tony's D is horrible... luckily DJ Augustin can't hit for shit

[Silver&Black]

Amazing how much better our team is when our shots are falling.

Best Post of the thread IMO.....

:lmao

[ChumpDumper]

Players creating separation via bodily contact all over the court, wonder of anyone else is watching this.Is this your first basketball game?

[ace3g]

even spurs weren't ready for the #belicut that time

[TheGreatYacht]

So great to see our best wing out here rebounding and making his catch and shoot 3's :tu

[FaM0us Skins]

It seems like Augustin is always on the three point line.

[Cry Havoc]

Why hy would I be embarassed?

Really? You're serious. You don't know why a severe lack of knowledge about one of the most popular quotes from one of the most popular authors ever to walk the face of the Earth is embarrassing. Something that most freshmen in high school could recite without a second thought. Something that anyone who's ever lived in the past 300 years with a passing interest in literature or culture would instantly recognize.


Well gee, I don't know pal. Why should you be embarrassed? Would you walk into the Louvre and start asking questions like, "Why are all these paintings here?", too? Then when people start staring at you, you would undoubtedly tell them to fuck off or try to make fun of them to look tough, if this thread is any indication. :lol

[timtonymanu]

Parker needs to stop leaving his man wide open.

[ElNono]

Dunno if it's the Pistons, but offense is shaping up

[ChumpDumper]

http://s1.totalprosports.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/wwe-showul-crying-sports-crying-gifs.gif

[TheGreatYacht]

KL2 is getting ether'd in here :lol Malik where you at?

[Silver&Black]

Nice defense Patty...smh

[ElNono]

terrible D, Patty

[TXstbobcat]

Marco!!!!

[KL2]

Is this your first basketball game?

Not really. I pay attention to player match ups based on weight, muscle types, their size and agility in combination with each other, how stabilized players are when they take contact on both sides of the ball and who they're doing it against.

you should do it some time.

[FaM0us Skins]

Good ball movement..

[ChumpDumper]

Parker needs to stop leaving his man wide open.Shoulda taken him out earlier.

[TXstbobcat]

Verde33333333

[r0drig0lac]

[RD2191]

Chumpdumper still crying to kori.

[HI-FI]

love it when the team starts to click like this :cry

[FaM0us Skins]

Danny is 5-8 from the three point line.

[Silver&Black]

:wow Dat ball movement

My niggas.....

[Cry Havoc]

GREEEEEEEEEEEN

[ElNono]

Tiago was hurting

[Silver&Black]

Anybody else surprised that half-court shot didn't go in???

[ChumpDumper]

Not really. I pay attention to player match ups based on weight, muscle types, their size and agility in combination with each other, how stabilized players are when they take contact on both sides of the ball and who they're doing it against.

you should do it some time.No, I would rather enjoy myself rather than pretend I'm the first to notice how players achieve separation on a basketball court.

[timtonymanu]

I'm enjoying this ass-kicking.

These guys pissed me off last month with that Jennings game winner.

[FaM0us Skins]

82-63.

[Cry Havoc]

Manu to end the quarter. Fuck yeah.

Looking dominant again, even if the Pistons aren't playing their best.

Get this win and get rested for the real season.

[KL2]

So I should be embarrassed about something I didn't read? How is this a sign of a lack of intelligence? You shou
d break it down tbh.

[Mugen]

Pretty much impossible to beat the Spurs when Danny hits 4+ 3pointers tbh.

[Uriel]

We'd be up 22 by now if it weren't for that fluke halftime buzzer beating halfcourt shot......

So you don't actually pay attention to what's going on, got it.

No one gives a shit about Shakespeare. He was a faggot.

[Cry Havoc]

So I should be embarrassed about something I didn't read? How is this a sign of a lack of intelligence? You shou
d break it down tbh.

:lmao Because you tried to ridicule something that you were completely clueless about. Something that nearly every person in the civilized world is aware of. At this point, it's obvious you're beyond help.

[ChumpDumper]

So you don't actually pay attention to what's going on, got it.Of course I do. I merely don't try to hipster basic basketball analysis like you.

You aren't special.

[lofds]

Danny's having one hell of a game. Raining down 3s and driving and dishing beautifully.

[KL2]

http://www.blogcdn.com/blog.games.com/media/2011/08/screen-shot-2011-08-18-at-1.20.54-pm.png


Break it down, I'm waiting. You should just post that long cat maybe you can ignore this post lol.

[Cry Havoc]

As opposed to, say, a random dude that has nothing to do with the conversation, right? :lmao

[RD2191]

OKC up big on the grizz.

[ChumpDumper]

That's damn embarrassing.

[KL2]

you just said you don't lol.

[Blizzardwizard]

Against the shit pistons. Nothing to brag about.

Kiwi Leonard is having an awful game against the Pistons, and I don't see any 'trade Leonard' or 'Outsiders are beginning to notice Kiwi' threads yet.

[Uriel]

Pretty much impossible to beat the Spurs when Danny hits 4+ 3pointers tbh.
Yup. Reminds me somewhat of the 2009 / 2010 Lakers, when their ability to win was largely contingent on how well Lamar Odom played. When he was scoring 20+ points, the Lakers were virtually unbeatable.

[ChumpDumper]

As opposed to, say, a random dude that has nothing to do with the conversation, right? :lmaoGo easy on Berto.

He's looking for a new friend.

[NASpurs]

A dominating performance for 36 minutes so far. Who are these guys, barely recognize them.

[Cry Havoc]

Whatever floats your boat man.

[Cry Havoc]

Nice play Leonard.

[milkyway21]

Kawhi 24 min 11% FG?

[KL2]

Yeah his 1-9 shooting has really done a lot for us. :lmao

The fact that you can't see the impact he's making out there worries me tbh

To be fair, any intelligent person can read many popular literary works and still not be able to recite famous quotes from them, especially if a particularly celebrated work didn't strike a chord with them. Even it's Shakespeare, let alone Julius Caesar. That shouldn't be a strike against them...unless they mock a username based on one in particular. But your mention of "every person in the civilized world" is not really fair at all, tbh.

[Cry Havoc]

Come on Leonard.

[spurtech09]

KL has been off tonight....but who cares spurs are winning :)

[ChumpDumper]

The fact that you can't see the impact he's making out there worries me tbhDet excuse making.

[KL2]

Its probably cause I've been an actual athlete and these things matter, it's called perspective.

[Silver&Black]

You need to start that Kawhi can't hit the side of a barn thread pronto....work a little bit of your reverse jinx magic tbh.

I never miss when some random team runs no play but hosts up all kinds of shots of the heroball bariety only for them to go in.

The haters are awfully quiet this game, tbh. Well, except for one. :lol

[ChumpDumper]

Awful scoring wise but a monster defensively and hustle plays.though the trade "insert player" after every bad game is stupid, kawhi is having an impact

[SpurPadre]

:lol :lol :lol

Aye, there's the rub.

Yeah but you still undercut your argument with the "civilized world" bit. I'll admit, I had to google your screen name to find the source and I've read Julius Caesar...say over 15 years ago. I can quote more of Nietzsche's works than Shakespeare, tbh.

[timtonymanu]

Well we nearly lost to Indiana and have been letting scrub teams stick close with us. Sure, it's the Pistons, but we look way better tonight than in past games.

Eh, I was just getting out the thought in the middle of watching a game. Definitely not the most correct or concise terminology, but it got the point across. :lol

[spurtech09]

[RD2191]

Come on cojo

CoJo is the new Enrique, tbh.

Didn't Baynes sit or something last time during det?

Vintage Danny tonight tbh.

One trick pony CancerJo caught in the act

[timtonymanu]

I never miss when some random team runs no play but hosts up all kinds of shots of the heroball bariety only for them to go in.

Yes. It's embarrassing seeing terrible shots get rewarded by going in. Especially how it happens to us every game it seems.

[Cry Havoc]

Gameball is going to Danny Fucking Green.

[milkyway21]

No double-double but I'm glad Pop let Duncan play lesser minutes tonight.

[SpurPadre]

Eh, I was just getting out the thought in the middle of watching a game. Definitely not the most correct or concise terminology, but it got the point across. :lol

Yeah, I got no beef with you my fellow Bay Area Spurs fan. Keep doing your thing, man.

[KL2]

Terrible pass, blames Baynes smh

[FaM0us Skins]

Good block by CoJo.

[Cry Havoc]

14 point game with 3:31 to play. Not worried.

[spurtech09]

CJ with the block

[TXstbobcat]

Manu!!!!

[spurtech09]

no foul on KL lol

[Uriel]

Kawhi is out of control.

Leonard getting no respect, all game long ridiculous.

[SpurPadre]

Well we nearly lost to Indiana and have been letting scrub teams stick close with us. Sure, it's the Pistons, but we look way better tonight than in past games.

Yeah, I'll take it, too. I'm just in tough-love mode now with the team.

[Silver&Black]

16 point lead....Spurs can put this one in the back pocket.

[FaM0us Skins]

Foul on Drummond.

Had Kawhi not missed any games, would he have had a shot at the AS or does a game like tonight show why he's not quite there, yet but almost?

[ace3g]

[spurtech09]

nice pass....sweet dunk

[TXstbobcat]

Baynes slam

[Bartleby]

Kawhi is out of control.

He must be frustrated. Pop should sit him and call it a night. No need to have him risk getting hurt when the game is already in hand.

[KL2]

Best creator on the team, been racking up those passes all game long killing Det

[Silver&Black]

:wow Det behind the back pass to Banger

My niggas....

[Cry Havoc]

Pretty pass, NICE jam by Baynes. He's really playing well.

[Cry Havoc]

Get the starters the fuck out, Pop.

[timtonymanu]

Errors, Bonner, Harden's lookalike, Beli, CoJo after the break please.

[milkyway21]

Switching to the Toronto Raptors vs Washington Wizards games..the way Toronto are playing esp Williams this so well I am.not so disappointed about the loss the other day. :)

[Silver&Black]

Has the switch been flipped?

Pistons tbh.....

[spurtech09]

Danny Green is the player of the game imo.baynes and beli had a good game tonight

Yes, kick their ass and sit everyone who matters by the first in-bounds play of the 4th quarter. :flag:

Pistons tbh.....pistons or whoever....spurs finally played 4 good quarters

[Silver&Black]

The Spurs weren't exactly beating down on bad teams before this game though..


pistons or whoever....spurs finally played 4 good quarters

Totally agree with both posts....let's just wait till the L.A. game and the GS game to officially declare that the switch has been flipped.

[SpurPadre]

If we lose against the Paper Clips or actually just the Dubs next week (because Griffin won't play for the Clips), this wouldn't have meant shit other than to save embarrassment

Man, I just hope this week off lights a fire under them and they stop playing like a bunch of pussies who don't give a fuck. I'll be at the Dubs game, too so I'm expecting an A game there.

Things to take from this game:

- Green continues to be one of the streakiest 3 specialists in the league, and he appears to be turning it on at the right time

- Kawhi still trying to find a consistent offensive game. This is an integral phase in his development, determining just how good he will be. He's trying, but not quite there yet.

- Diaw falling off a cliff from last year will be the greatest obstacle for this team come playoff time, in my opinion. He really has to rediscover the game that was such a huge part of last year's championship, because he has reverted back to the passive Diaw of old.

- KL2 is no scholar.

While it's not as simple as saying "the switch has been flipped", there is really no cause for alarm given the team's performance in this game. We all know they're coasting, so it's pretty difficult to analyze just how good they are until the playoffs kick off.

Also, agree with the rest of your post....

.

Seldom Danny Green having an A game and made it on the headlines due to Spurs falling short & losing the game in the end
This time he is, with his impressive team-leading 19 pts, 8 rbds, 4 assists, 2 stls, 2 blocks :tu

Back to 7th we go. :lol

[timtonymanu]

Well, we are only 2 games out of 3rd in the West. Memphis lost tonight too so that moves us closer to 2nd if anything.

[Legacy]

This team SERIOUSLY needs to take advantage of this opportunity and keep playing like they did tonight... especially since OKC is coming.

id expect us to easily make up 2 games on port/houston.

Means we finish 3rd, against 6th, and okc is going to be anywhere from 4-7 imo

except for the B2B on the road vs LAC, GSW

[Cry Havoc]

Back to 7th we go. :lol

I'm actually happy about that. With Kawhi back and Houston/LAC dealing with injuries, and the Mavs dealing with having Rondo on the team, we're primed to make a run to at least the 4th seed, perhaps the 3rd.

Right now, they're the same, and should be equally obtainable.

Easy win...NEXT!

The forum misses your regular posting dude. Get back in here. We need more real fans around.

[21209]

That third quarter is the best I've seen the Spurs play offensively this season. It looked nearly identical to how they played in games 3-5 of the finals.

I'd love to see them store that in a bottle, because if they can get back to that consistently, I'd like their chances to repeat.

[21209]

I hope Kawhi goes back to SA to get his jump shot.

He obviously forgot to pack it through the first three games of the trip.

[tmtcsc]

I'm not worried about Kawhi. Anyone who cares as much, works as hard and puts as much time in the gym as Leonard does, will be fine. I'm concerned about Manu though. His inconsistency from the FT line has been alarming. That's all mental, form and repetition. It has nothing to do with his physical skills eroding.

[rasuo214]

I hope Kawhi goes back to SA to get his jump shot.

He obviously forgot to pack it through the first three games of the trip.

He isn't the only one, in 3 games the Spurs are shooting 40.7%, 28.8% from 3. Hopefully the rest helps them out because the rest of the road trip won't be easy.
