Let's win it!

[SpursFan86]

Think both squads are going to be fully healthy outside of Cleveland missing Marion.

Should be a great game. Cleveland is playing much better since the last time we faced off, but we're on a roll as well.

Apparently Manu is still 50/50 :bang Duncan seems to be a definite yes though.

I hate when the Spurs play Lebron, tbh. I almost feel bad for him knowing the Spurs have cock blocked him from a couple of titles.

[hater]

As I said. Key is Green vs Kylia.

Come on Green

[rogues]

Go Cavs!!!! :cheer

[Cry Havoc]

We're a 1.5 point dog to the Cavs tonight on our home floor. Hopefully Pop uses that to motivate our guys.

Meh, it's the regular season. :lol It's hard to get motivated sometimes for games like these. Gotta use what you can.

green will win or lose the game for use. nothing else to look forward to tbh :lol

[Thunder Dan]

Last time they played in CLE it was a great game. Toss up tonight but should come down to final minutes IMO.

[kobyz]

Time for X factor Boris to arrive, we need him if we want to make noise this season...

[ElNono]

Any status update on Gino for this game?

[Mikeanaro]

:flag:

[concan1]

According to ESPN Gino is questionable with gastro problems.

[Malik Hairston]

Outside of progression in the standings, all the previous games vs those shitty teams will be irrelevant if the Spurs lose tonight, tbh:lol..

Regular season games are overrated, but its March, this team is prepping for the playoff run and they need to show the same effectiveness vs good competition..

[look_at_g_shred]

BLOWOUT INCOMING TBH..

[gameFACE]

Just get another win. Screw the Cavs. Even though the Rockets lost they are still winning overall without Dwight and the Clips without Griffin. So the Spurs need all the ground they can make up whether it's a conference win or not.

It's a win tonight. They're more likely to lose to Minnesota or the Bucks :lol

[SupremeGuy]

:flag:

[Robz4000]

Just don't get blown out. If this game is close throughout with Parker and Leonard having good games, I can live with a loss. All I wanna see is a sign that the Spurs' level of play these days can stand up to elite competition; I know they still have room for improvement.

[BillMc]

LeBron going headband-less these days, reminds me of the 4th Q in Game 6!

:ihit All gloves (and headbands) are off now.

[spurtech09]

Whats the status of Tim Duncan?

[spurtech09]

Apparently Manu is still 50/50 :bang Duncan seems to be a definite yes though.So manu is still feeling sick......wonder what he ate...

Stay healthy and get the win. :flag:

Meh, is not important. It would be great to win this game, but the team has already shown signs that we need to see to know they're capable of turning it on. At this point, does playoff seeding matter? We're probably not going to be higher than #3.

whew I was getting scared when I didn't see one, Good Job Bill now I feel much more confident about this.

[timtonymanu]

I don't know. With Duncan and Manu not even 100%, I wouldn't be surprised if we lose this game. But like Robz said, they just have to at least show they can compete with the contenders. No more gutless worms play.

[milkyway21]

LeBron's worst regular season ppg against a WC opponent is against the Spurs
Now Kawhi is streaking@ a high level, it shall continue, with LBJ's headband or not...D

Duncan will likely play. As well as Manu.

Honestly, literally every team the Spurs have played during this streak has been mediocre or terrible, tbh:lol..I have never cared about regular season games(look up my history), but this team needs to show something against a good team, not just beating up on the worst teams in the NBA..

Last year's Spurs struggled against elite teams early in the year, but they turned it on against every level of competition in February/March..hopefully this year's team will do the same..

Don't be surprised if Pop mails this one in. He'd probably love nothing more than to get blown out at home on national tv against the cavs. The media would crown cleveland and bury us and Pop would be happy as shit.
