Game Thread : Spurs Vs Hawks - Sunday 2:30 CST, another Spurs win

[cantthinkofanything]

beginning of a tough run of games. Spurs are ready though and will roll the Hawks. Let's get it on.

[Robz4000]

This game is somewhat meaningless. If they lose this one but win the next six I'll be happy.

[cantthinkofanything]

This game is somewhat meaningless. If they lose this one but win the next six I'll be happy.No games are meaningless at this point. They need to keep the consistent play up. Hawks are the perfect team at this point. A good step up in competition but should be a solid win for the good guys.

[BatManu20]

Would like to have this win considering we have Dallas and OKC on a back-to-back on the road in the next 3 days. Going to be a rough stretch.

[Darius Bieber]

Hopefully Bud will do us a solid and lose on purpose (since they have a 10 game lead for 1st in the east), otherwise Spurs will lose 4 straight with OKC and 2x Dallas coming up.

Nothing much tbh. Lazy sunday today.

Agreed

Also torn if I'll watch this game. 3 am here, but I've got 2 finals on the same day. Also Federer vs Djokovic Indian Wells finals around 6 am. Fuck me :lol

Too bad they don't have a Bonner. Oh wait, they have Austin Daye! Lol.
Anyways, should be interesting.

Cool that NBA league pass on TV is giving the options of the away and home broadcasts for the game today.

[RD2191]

Hawks gonna be looking for a win. Hopefully Bud does us a solid.

[SpursFan86]

Korver is questionable (he broke his nose recently) and Mike Scott/Sefolosha are out.

If Korver doesn't play, we really should get a win. They're a much different team when he's not playing.

[benstanfield]

Hawks have a cute record but Teague is vastly overrated and if their 3pt shots don't fall at >40% they basically can't win. Their offense is just like ours except they have one point of attack (PG) and then a bunch of Demarre Carrols. Horford and Millsap are a good front court tho.

[Raven]

they are in a bad moment, and this is a really important game for us. i expect us to win

[Silver&Black]

Hope I get to watch the game. The TV guide says that Atlanta vs. SA is coming on but I got a feeling the Pelicans game will come on instead....

Now that Nash has officially retired, how many active players in the league are older than Timmy? KG is a month younger I think. Is TD the oldest active player?

[jyra]

Andre Miller just turned 39 a couple of days ago.

[BillMc]

Andre Miller just turned 39 a couple of days ago.

Thanks. So that's at least 1 older than Timmy

he obviously suffered a lot, he's lost a lot of weight. it looks really bad

[cantthinkofanything]

Just got the quarter prop in also. Spurs +.5. So everything is in place for another W.

[cantthinkofanything]

he obviously suffered a lot, he's lost a lot of weight. it looks really badShit. I just found out about him being sick. My bad. Just removed the offensive post.

I'm not gonna make fun of a cancer survivor in a game thread. Bad mojo. Especially Craig Sager. I imagine the basketball gods hold him in somewhat high esteem. Gotta stay on the positive side. The fact that he took a pic with pop is a good sign IMO. Let's go Spurs!

[Robz4000]

This has all the markings of a Hawks blowout win tbh:

-Return from a long road trip
-Lost last several games
-Getting players back from injury
-Playing the defending champs
-Teacher vs Student

Like I said, this one is somewhat meaningless provided the Spurs take care of business their next six games.

Fuck that. They're too old to be able to tun it off and on depending on the importance of any particular game. They need a win here otherwise all they did was lose 3 outta 6 to the East. And put together a 2 game win streak. If thy want to succeed in this upcoming stretch against the West, it needs to be rolling Atlanta on the way.

[benstanfield]

Hawks are arguably more dependent on Teague than we are on TP, and we have the best wing defender in the league. If Pop chooses to actually play his cards, this shouldn't be hard. Mills v Schroder should be fun.

Splitter from a soft pussy to a hard dick

is a soft pussy a bad thing tbh?

[BillMc]

Tiago is really looking better.

[benstanfield]

WHen fully engaged the starters are probably the best team-defense lineup in the league. Hawks are predicated on getting easy shots that we just don't give up.

[Mugen]

ofcourse Pop is now gonna send in Cojo-Beli-Williams-Ayres-Baynes...

:lol

Please no Bonner, Pop.

Problem with our bench is that as individuals they are borderline unplayably bad without Manu there to run the show

Air Boner :lol

fuck you Marco

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Espn has the score of the game as 16-11... Whats going on?

[loveforthegame]

It's depressing to see guys like Marco and Bonner derail this team.

[baseline bum]

Del Negro of course misses the open three, just like he did vs Houston in the WCF tbh

[Robz4000]

:lmao the bench is so bad right now

[TE]

Marco is just in no man's land tbh. He can't seem to do anything correctly.

[baseline bum]

Great D Patty! :tu

[RD2191]

instead of an easy blowout spurs let it become a game. pop needs to keep players in longer when they're firing on all cylinders.

[ElNono]

more or less holding down the fort.... gotta score with this unit tho

[timtonymanu]

Ugh all the game cast online aren't even fixing the score on our game.

[100%duncan]

What a shit end to a rather magical quarter. I miss manu.

[cantthinkofanything]

Bench killed the momentum instantly.

[TE]

instead of an easy blowout spurs let it become a game. pop needs to keep players in longer when they're firing on all cylinders.
Yup. No reason to take them out as early as he did. They weren't even forcing anything. Should've played them at least another minute. Taking them out during that timeout was not stupid but it's also something he should've delayed until the next dead ball.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

We are losing 17-16 according to espn

[NASpurs]

Play K.A. or Williams for God's sake. I don't give a shit which one at this point.

[Mugen]

:lol can somebody please hit Bonner in the nuts again please?

[Spurs 4 The Win]

What is the actual score?

[BillMc]

Weird to see our bench so ineffective. We need Manu, contract Boris and healthy Patty again...

[ElNono]

det bench needs Evita back, tbh

[NASpurs]

We are losing 17-16 according to espn

That's some bizarro world shit right there. Not even close :lol

[TE]

26-13

[Juggity]

the bench is really bad right now. last game too.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

What is Bellinelli doing out there?

[ElNono]

Also good to see Pop putting Boris in the doghouse before the playoffs start, tbh...

[Spurs 4 The Win]

ESPN just fixed the score lol

[Johnny RIngo]

bench is a god damn joke without Manu

[timtonymanu]

That's some bizarro world shit right there. Not even close :lol

The fucked up thing is every other game scores seem to be working.

[SpurPadre]

Why must Bonner have to play even a second?

[Mugen]

I'd rather see Homeless Harden out there instead of Beli tbh.

[TXstbobcat]

Great 1st quarter for Leonard.

[benstanfield]

Not sure how much longer Pop can justify playing Marco over Cojo/Williams/KA tbh. He's visibly worse than last year, shooting 42% from the field and 38% from three

[100%duncan]

Manu is the bench. These are things we know.

[Johnny RIngo]

Del Negro of course misses the open three, just like he did vs Houston in the WCF tbh

If Marco can't even make open jumpshots, why's he even on the court? He's 4-19 in his last two games.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

at least marco is good at drawing fouls on the 3 ball:lol

[TXstbobcat]

Korver with the Hannibal Lector mask. :lmao

[spurraider21]

this offense has to run through boris. the last possession looked like college ball, just aimlessly passing the ball around the perimeter with nobody creating. at least belli drew a foul in transition this time around

but diaw is the only guy here who can be a primary creator. mills/marco are secondary playmakers, while green/baynes are finishers

Korver is the best spot-up shooter in the league (though could argue Curry/others can create own shot), but Green is among the best AND an elite defender. Would take Green 100% of the time.
