Killing time until the game starts. Here's a funny blurb from Bill Simmons on Kawhi from his Trade Value Column:

http://grantland.com/features/2015-nba-trade-value-part-2-the-temple-of-doom/

18. Kawhi Leonard
Six sarcastic retorts if/when a buddy says to you, “I just don’t know if Kawhi is a max guy. He’s putting up only 15 and 7 every night and he hasn’t been healthy all season … I think he might take a discount to stay.”
1. “Yeah, it’s not like the league is drifting toward über-athletic forwards who can make 3s, defend both forward spots and thrive in small ball AND big ball.”
2. “Great point, David Kahn.”
3. “You’re right, half the league’s teams have enough cap space to offer him a max contract this summer — there’s no way someone will bite.”
4. “No way he can put up better stats — NBA players always peak statistically at 23 when they’re the fourth option on a contender.”
5. “Yeah, he’ll take a discount to stay — he’s made less than $8 million playing basketball these last four years. He’s definitely ready to leave gobs of money on the table.”
6. “Hold on, I’m gonna make a list of everyone who can successfully defend LeBron or Durant in a seven-game series. Kawhi Leonard, and … oh, wait, we’re done.”

3 more blocks and Duncan beats Ewing's #6- 2,894 all-time record in blocks.
Next, aim for David Robinson @ # 5 (2,954) blocks

GO 50-W!!! ::flag: :cheer:

Gonna enjoy this game, it's the only basketball left......fuck, the best Valley HS bball team (Vela) is about to go down

[BillMc]

Looking forward to this game.

[Silver&Black]

Denver broadcast on League Pass....

:pctoss

[TE]

Yay I'm reminded that shitty meaningless baseball games are prioritized over regular season Spurs games on FSSW

[Robz4000]

Biggest trap game of the homestand. Spurs better bring it early and often.

[BillMc]

Denver broadcast on League Pass....

:pctoss

That sucks. Spurs broadcast in international league pass, if you can get that somehow.

[r0drig0lac]

GO SPURS GO!

[Silver&Black]

That sucks. Spurs broadcast in international league pass, if you can get that somehow.

It's cool. I've been watching the Nuggets broadcast for 5 minutes. And it's been 5 minutes of Spurs ass kissing....

[TXstbobcat]

Verde333333333

[Cry Havoc]

GREEEEEEEEEN

[Raven]

good start

[Cry Havoc]

TP!

[FaM0us Skins]

TP!!

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!

[Silver&Black]

Vintage Timmy....

My nigga.

[Cry Havoc]

Timmy beaut of a shot.

[Silver&Black]

:lmao Pop

[Silver&Black]

Two hands on the back....automatic foul.

[Cry Havoc]

Tim looks pissed... I think he's about to have a monster game.

[Cry Havoc]

KAWHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[Silver&Black]

TP!!!

[Cry Havoc]

Holy shit that's the best move i've seen from parker in weeks... :wow

[Silver&Black]

TP looking confident. Like what I'm seeing....

[Cry Havoc]

Tony again!

[FaM0us Skins]

Vintage Tony.

[Raven]

some beautiful basketball

[awktalk]

Are the Nuggets playing 5 on 0?

[Cry Havoc]

This team is starting to show some signs of being dangerous. Our rotations have been great lately and we're moving the ball REALLY well on offense.

[ElNono]

great ball movement to start.... especially Tiago

[r0drig0lac]

parker killing

[Silver&Black]

Splitter is a one man fast break :lmao

[ace3g]

Tiago off the dribble, lol

[Cry Havoc]

WTF TIAGO DRIVES THE PAINT

[FaM0us Skins]

Good play by Tim and Tiago.

[Cry Havoc]

Here we go... scary offense engaged

[ElNono]

Pop needs to put somebody else on Ty Lawson

[Silver&Black]

Spurs shooting 9-10.....

My niggas.

[Cry Havoc]

Lawson 4-4 on bullshit shots so far.

[Cry Havoc]

Pop needs to put somebody else on Ty Lawson

Why? I'm happy that he's shooting 20 footers. Let him shoot that all game.

[Silver&Black]

Manu tres....

[ElNono]

Manuuuuuu

[Cry Havoc]

MANUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

[FaM0us Skins]

Spurs make their 7th straight shot on Ginobili's straight-away 3.

[ElNono]

Why? I'm happy that he's shooting 20 footers. Let him shoot that all game.

Because he's going around Tony like nobody is there. The defensive breakdown is the issue.

[Silver&Black]

We've gave up way too many points so far. 18 halfway through the 1st Q.

Thank God we're scoring well.....

[Cry Havoc]

Defense is okay, just needs a little tightening. Offense is beautiful so far.

[ElNono]

Lawson 4-4 on bullshit shots so far.

Come on, son. They're wide open.

[BillMc]

Boris looks thinner in the military outfits. Camouflages some of his girth.:bobo

[ElNono]

I think Pop needs to hide TP on Foye... he's more of a perimeter guy

[Robz4000]

Parker looks solid on offense, but holy shit Lawson is destroying him on D.

[Cry Havoc]

Because he's going around Tony like nobody is there. The defensive breakdown is the issue.

he's made a 13 footer, a 16 footer, and two 19 footers. 3/4 of those I'm fine with him taking. Nothing at the rim.

[Silver&Black]

:wow Bobo with a solid box-out :wow

First time in weeks I've seen that...

[Cry Havoc]

Duncan and-1!

[Silver&Black]

Banger in....Ferrari in

[ElNono]

he's made a 13 footer, a 16 footer, and two 19 footers. 3/4 of those I'm fine with him taking. Nothing at the rim.

Ugh, except he's a pretty good shooter. He's going around Tony and setting up for a wide open shot. A big now has to come forward. You don't want breakdowns like that.

[Cry Havoc]

Spurs getting dem calls. :lol

[Silver&Black]

Manu tres...

[ElNono]

Great to see Gino hitting those 3s

[FaM0us Skins]

Manuuuuuuuuuuu

[Silver&Black]

The threes are falling

:danceclub

[Robz4000]

This unit isn't playing D...

[loveforthegame]

Awesome to see the 3s falling again. :tu

[ElNono]

going for 40 in the 1st quarter

[FaM0us Skins]

:ihit

[ElNono]

This unit isn't playing D...

that's kinda expected...

[Silver&Black]

Patty Thrills with the turnover...

My nigga.

[Cry Havoc]

:lol Hickson!!!!

[FaM0us Skins]

Lol @ Hickson.

[Raven]

how is this game so close tbh?

[Robz4000]

that's kinda expected...

It's terrible even for them, discouting Mills' sequence there...

[Robz4000]

how is this game so close tbh?

Lawson ethering Parker and the bench playing terrible defense even by their standards.

[Mikeanaro]

That was dirty Im glad its Spurs ball.

[Silver&Black]

Denver announcers said that Lawson was 0-9 last game....

:lmao TP

[ducks]

Go Spurs go

[Silver&Black]

I really hate Jameer Nelson tbh...

[ducks]

Denver announcers said that Lawson was 0-9 last game....

:lmao TP

Law of averages

[ElNono]

you gotta finish that boris

[Silver&Black]

you gotta finish that boris

Yeah...trying to get too cute. Take the two foot shot....

[Robz4000]

Offense has cooled off...

[Silver&Black]

Mills has had some good looks...shot just isn't falling.

[Raven]

dat beli effect

[Silver&Black]

Bonner :lmao

Nice pass dumbass....

[spursparker9]

Regression

[Robz4000]

Fuck the bench

[TheGreatYacht]

Ffs bench

[ElNono]

unfortunately, with this lineup, if you're not scoring, you're leaking water pretty quickly

[ducks]

Mills bench please
Spurs hitting threes you not hitting nothing

[Raven]

Lawson ethering Parker and the bench playing terrible defense even by their standards.

it was a rethorical question, but thanks for proving my point :lol

[BillMc]

Wish CJ would get some of Patty's time.

[ElNono]

That was kinda weird of Pop... he normally leaves Kawhi out there with the bench for a few minutes, but did not this game...

[loveforthegame]

Disappointing stretch from the bench. :td

[Cry Havoc]

Lakers up on the Griz at half. :wow :lol

[ducks]

Tp goes to bench Spurs SUCK

[Budkin]

7-0 run to end first

[rasuo214]

Bench needs to play better, can't expect the starters to be perfect all game. Defense needs to improve as well.

[Silver&Black]

Belly, Bonner, Mills, Tiago, Manu....

Don't expect much D from this unit either.

[TXstbobcat]

Fucking turnovers!!

[Budkin]

9-0

[Raven]

:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao :lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

[Budkin]

11-0

[01Snake]

WTF???

[timtonymanu]

Great. Are we back to this gutless worms play already?

[ElNono]

keep shooting paddy

[FkLA]

That Enrique guy is such a great defender. Lawson is just hitting BS shots. :cry

[Silver&Black]

C'mon MVPatty....get it going.

[Budkin]

Finally Mills!

[Budkin]

13-3 run followed by TO

[ElNono]

JJ Hickson impregnating Tiago and Bonner

[Robz4000]

:lmao Spurs

[timtonymanu]

Or are the Nuggets playing over their heads cause of their :cry new coach?

[spursparker9]

lol meals

[Budkin]

Spurs look fucking terrible

[ElNono]

finally Tiago

[TXstbobcat]

Splitter and1.

[Cry Havoc]

So sloppy.

[Robz4000]

Take out Mills and Beli

[FaM0us Skins]

Splitter!!

[Silver&Black]

Or are the Nuggets playing over their heads cause of their :cry new coach?

He's undefeated...2-0 :lmao

COTY candidate....

[rasuo214]

Pretty sure I'd rather see Ayres out there instead of Bonner.

[Budkin]

Nelson bending us over

[Silver&Black]

I really hate Jameer Nelson tbh...

[TXstbobcat]

Mills!!!!

[Cry Havoc]

Patty!

[Raven]

i'm tired of seeing this team lose their advantage when the bench comes in in every single game..

[TheGreatYacht]

i'm tired of seeing this team lose their advantage when the bench comes in in every single game..

[Silver&Black]

Where the hell is MVkawhi at?

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!

[TDfan2007]

Spurs seem to go out of their way to play terrible on military appreciation night...

[Silver&Black]

Where the hell is MVkawhi at?

There he is...my nigga.

[FaM0us Skins]

Kawhi

[ElNono]

Wing Stop

[Raven]

beli out and spurs steal two :lmao

[Budkin]

Nuggets can't fucking miss

[TDfan2007]

Nobody missing

[timtonymanu]

Why does that faggot Nelson always look like an all star against the Spurs?

[TDfan2007]

That spin by Kawhi was sick...

[Silver&Black]

Nelson is a Spurs killer....always has been.

[Cry Havoc]

Why does that faggot Nelson always look like an all star against the Spurs?

Some players go at 200% against the champs. It's fucking pathetic. If they played with that motivation all the time they'd be a starter instead of scrubbing it up. Nelson is the definition of wasted talent.

[Robz4000]

Bench let the Nuggets get into an offensive rhythm. Gonna be a battle the rest of the night unfortunately.

[Silver&Black]

Bench let the Nuggets get into an offensive rhythm. Gonna be a battle the rest of the night unfortunately.

You called it earlier....trap game.

[Pauleta14]

Who's that blonde girl in pink bikini?

[SpurPadre]

Bench let the Nuggets get into an offensive rhythm. Gonna be a battle the rest of the night unfortunately.

Nah, we'll pull away and win by +10, tbh.

[MI21]

Some players go at 200% against the champs. It's fucking pathetic. If they played with that motivation all the time they'd be a starter instead of scrubbing it up. Nelson is the definition of wasted talent.

Not really. He is a very short, very heavy PG with limited playmaking skills who had a lot of injuries.

The definition of wasted talent would be someone like Michael Beasley, Anthony Randolph etc

[ElNono]

MVKawhi

[Silver&Black]

Get that weak shit outta here....

:lmao Manimal

[ElNono]

damn Tim with the FU Farid

[loveforthegame]

Leonard doing Leonard things. :tu

[r0drig0lac]

wow duncan

[TheGreatYacht]

Wtf, why is Green getting pulled out smh

[timtonymanu]

Duncan struggling with his FTs

[Silver&Black]

Damn did Kiwi get that block? I thought it was Timmy....

[ElNono]

free points!

[timtonymanu]

Now Gallo won't miss smh

[Silver&Black]

Hit freebies....

:pctoss

[ElNono]

Wtf, why is Green getting pulled out smh

he'll start the 3rd

[TDfan2007]

Our D has been trash

[Robz4000]

:lmao this team's freethrow shooting

[TDfan2007]

Lawson is making some spectacular shots and dribble moves tonight.

[ElNono]

Tim can't get a call at home... smh

[Raven]

Wtf, why is Green getting pulled out smh

danny a positive point per minute and beli a negative point per minute :lmao

[TDfan2007]

That's two terrible calls that Lawson has gotten

[Silver&Black]

Lawson 8-8 FTs....16 points in the 1st half.

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!

[TheGreatYacht]

Feed Kawhi while he's hot

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. :tu

[timtonymanu]

smh hustle

[ElNono]

Boris with the great pass... smh

[TheGreatYacht]

Thanks Pop :tu that tech really showed those refs!

[Robz4000]

God damn this team just can't get it together

[PingPong]

Ayers... left Tim with the hang hanging in the empty. Dumb even to highfive.

[Budkin]

This team. Our offense picks up so our defense goes over a cliff.

[timtonymanu]

Seems more like the Nuggets just playing over their heads and getting the calls than the Spurs regressing.

[SpurPadre]

Hey, which Italian would you rather have, Danilo or Marco?

[SpursFan86]

this game has been so fucking annoying :lol

[Robz4000]

Tim can't get a call at home... smh

Wouldn't matter, he'd miss the freebies anyway.

[Silver&Black]

Big Balls Beli...

[TXstbobcat]

Marco3333333

[FaM0us Skins]

Faried has such a punchable looking face.

[TXstbobcat]

[Silver&Black]

Timmy got the call....and-1.

[FaM0us Skins]

TD:tu

[TheGreatYacht]

:madrun Stop posting up Duncan :madrun
:cry those are Kawhi's shots :cry

Apalifaggot

[TDfan2007]

Timmy has come to play tonight. He and Kawhi have been awesome.

[milkyway21]

3 pts is not a comfortable lead :(

Ft:td
:assts :td
Rbds :td

[Silver&Black]

TP in double digits already.

We need to string a few stops together though....

[ElNono]

need to lock down for a quarter and we win this

[BillMc]

Tony looking better according to the eye test

[ElNono]

fucking bad foul

[Raven]

the kobe assist right there

[Robz4000]

Pathetic fucks

[ElNono]

We're getting murdered on the boards... 25-18 right now

[TDfan2007]

:lol that last possession was this game in a nutshell...

[FaM0us Skins]

65-60

[ElNono]

great move by Tony there

[Silver&Black]

Nice dish TP....Timmy with the easy bucket.

:lmao 65-60
:lmao Defense

[TheGreatYacht]

Not worried, tbh.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy, Parker and Leonard in double figures in scoring

[timtonymanu]

Terrible defense, terrible first half. But we're up 5. The Nuggets looked like world beaters while the Spurs were being lazy again.

Just need to play better in the 2nd half and we got this.

[moisaenz]

Stupid league pass

[Silver&Black]

Damn I love those old Hawks uniforms....

[TDfan2007]

Tony looks solid too. Lawson is hitting contested shot after contested shot. Not much you can do about that...

[Robz4000]

This isn't even refball, Spurs are just committing dumb fouls and playing stupid defense; rebounding is pitiful as well. if they don't pick it up they're suffering another inexcusable loss at home.

[Budkin]

Damn how many defensive stops for us of turned into and ones for them? Ridiculous!

[Robz4000]

Tony looks solid too. Lawson is hitting contested shot after contested shot. Not much you can do about that...

No, he was hitting wide open shots in the first quarter. All it took was a screen to eliminate Parker from the play.

[SpursFan86]

Offense has played really well but defense has been shitty. And when we do play good defense, they seem to either make a fluky shot or we fail to end the possession and get a rebound.

Hopefully we come out in the 3rd and widen the lead.

[SpurPadre]

Not worried, tbh.

Yup,this will be a double digit win.

[ElNono]

Dunno why Pop gave up on Baynes so quickly... it's not like JJ Hickson wasn't raping anybody we put in front of him...

[jeebus]

Dunno why Pop gave up on Baynes so quickly... it's not like JJ Hickson wasn't raping anybody we put in front of him...
Poop is a dumbfuck. The moment he pissed his pants and took Bane went out, the Thuggets went on a run and took the lead. Spurs barely recovered due to Team Leader Jim.

[Raven]

beli effect mah nig

[SpurPadre]

And that red-headed piece of shit has more minutes. Smh

[TheGreatYacht]

Yup,this will be a double digit win.
:tu

[Sean Cagney]

This isn't even refball, Spurs are just committing dumb fouls and playing stupid defense; rebounding is pitiful as well. if they don't pick it up they're suffering another inexcusable loss at home.
SMH just when some thought this team turned a corner the other night..... Then they go do this :lol

[BillMc]

Spurs will lock it down second half. No problem.

[milkyway21]

65- pt .halftime score from the Spurs is GOOD NEWS

LAL leading by 10 vs Memphis :tu

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Tony looking good.

[loveforthegame]

Come on Leonard.

[Robz4000]

Leonard shitting all over the court to start the third. Very bad sign.

[timtonymanu]

Gutless.

[TDfan2007]

Kawhi is playing great D on Lawson, but he really needs to work on his spatial awareness

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Kawhi getting an earful.

[ducks]

Leonard in doggy house

[TXstbobcat]

Verde!!!

[r0drig0lac]

nice pass
