Game Thread: Spurs at Pelicans 8:00 EST (7:00 CST. 3:00 Riga Time) April 15th.

[Malik Hairston]

What do the Nets have to do with anything? They're not playing against an EC playoff team?

Pacers clinch with a Nets loss

[weeks]

lol..Parker shooting 8-10, leading all spurs with 16 points, yet only on ST he still gets hate

[rogues]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dariusbieber

myspace :lol
You're fucking weird, tbh. I bet you actually googled the name just to find it and put it here. That'll show him!

[Malik Hairston]

I don't understand what Pop is doing. The Spurs as a whole are coasting which is like a directive straight from Popovich. Turd ass bum performance.

Sucks for you guys, tbh, Russ deserves to be in the playoffs..

[Grit and Grind]

Allen and Conley out though.

They have been out for a while nothing new

[Johnny RIngo]

only 3 3PT attempts is pathetic.... just not moving the ball...

Patty was 3-3 from the arc at Houston a few days ago. Don't understand why Pop iced hm out after that in favor or inferior players like Joseph and Belinelli tonight

[ducks]

Kawhi needs to be more aggressive and Bobo is balling. Fuck the Big 3

bobob is 6-8 yeah playing terrible LOL
better d yes but he never forces a shot

[Silver&Black]

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Dariusbieber

myspace :lol

Proof you can't believe anything on wikipedia....

"He was also an avid supporter of the San Antonio Spurs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Antonio_Spurs), and still is"

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Gino has to pick it up as well, he can't come in and be a negative if the Spurs wanna get back into this game. Make some shots and no turnovers hopefully.

[ducks]

Patty was 3-3 from the arc at Houston a few days ago. Don't understand why Pop iced hm out after that in favor or inferior players like Joseph and Belinelli tonight
maybe because mills has sucked donkey all year

[milkyway21]

I hope he tears his archiles. Srs.


seriously?

Kawhi cannot win this battle on his own player fan :cuss

Be careful what you pray for :angel

It is not the end of the world if the Spurs lose tonight.

[ElNono]

Patty was 3-3 from the arc at Houston a few days ago. Don't understand why Pop iced hm out after that in favor or inferior players like Joseph and Belinelli tonight

Don't discard Pop doing Monty a solid, tbh

[ducks]

first 5 minutes will mean alot

[Cry Havoc]

Proof you can't believe anything on wikipedia....

"He was also an avid supporter of the San Antonio Spurs (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Antonio_Spurs), and still is"

ndBjraV-3UY

[Brazil]

Norris Cole did too, apparently

Yup but not cojo :depressed

[SpurAddict561]

bobob is 6-8 yeah playing terrible LOL
better d yes but he never forces a shot

I said Bobo is playing well, read between the lines you simple minded fuck

[SpurPadre]

Hate to bring this up as I know it's been mentioned over and over again but...if we lose, Rockets win, and Grizzlies lose, what seed do we end up with?

[TXstbobcat]

Baynes!!!!!!!!!

[Malik Hairston]

Hate to bring this up as I know it's been mentioned over and over again but...if we lose, Rockets win, and Grizzlies lose, what seed do we end up with?

5, which would be great

[TheGoldStandard]

Patty was 3-3 from the arc at Houston a few days ago. Don't understand why Pop iced hm out after that in favor or inferior players like Joseph and Belinelli tonight

Mills rejected his advances

[timtonymanu]

lol..Parker shooting 8-10, leading all spurs with 16 points, yet only on ST he still gets hate

There's more to basketball than PPG. Getting torched by Norris Cole was part of the reason we're down so much.

[Ice009]

Indiana doesn't have to win their game against the Grizzlies if Nets lose.

I didn't think the Nets had a chance at the playoffs? So if the Nets win, they're ahead of Indiana?

[Johnny RIngo]

:lol

kobe was shooting .39 parker is 8/10... Ya like watching kobe

I was talking about 2013 Kobe. Efficient raw stats but negligible impact.

[RD2191]

Get it to 10

[ElNono]

here we go

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!!

[Silver&Black]

Down to 12....

I still believe.

[crc21209]

Don't discard Pop doing Monty a solid, tbh
At the extent of costing his team HCA?

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs probably just gonna tease us with getting it close tbh

[Cry Havoc]

You're fucking weird, tbh. I bet you actually googled the name just to find it and put it here. That'll show him!

Would be a valid point if not for the greatest thread in Spurstalk history came from a google search. :lol

:lol Naruto

:lol Rogues diving in front of his buddy to take the heat

[timtonymanu]

I didn't think the Nets had a chance at the playoffs? So if the Nets win, they're ahead of Indiana?

Indy has to lose for Brooklyn to make it in.

[Brazil]

:lol dat Spurs fans meltdown is cute...

[RD2191]

Need to hit some 3s to really make some noise.

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!

[RD2191]

Fuck man

[Grit and Grind]

fuck cmon man, give us some luv

Honestly the 5 seed for us isn't even that good because you get the Warriors 2nd round assuming we beat the Blazers & I take my chances on LAC/HOU for the first two rounds of we're healthy tbh

[Cry Havoc]

Since when are we playing well in 3rd quarters? :lol

[Brazil]

I was talking about 2013 Kobe. Efficient raw stats but negligible impact.

Oh yeah kobe 2013 :lol he was shooting like what .42 :lol

[Silver&Black]

That's not a foul on Banger....

[rogues]

Dude, travel. Fuck..

[crc21209]

Doesnt look like much of a foul to me. Eyebrows initiated contact..

[TXstbobcat]

Down to 12....

I still believe.

:flag:

[Johnny RIngo]

There's more to basketball than PPG. Getting torched by Norris Cole was part of the reason we're down so much.

Tony has never been reliable on the defensive end. This is a guy that got outplayed by Mario fucking Chalmers in game 6 and 7 of an NBA Finals series. Doesn't get more embarrassing than that.

[Cry Havoc]

That's not a foul on Banger....

Not even sure the refs will let us get this game close.

[NASpurs]

This game is still there for the taking. Spurs need to stop being faggots.

[RD2191]

Pass the ball porker

[RD2191]

Oh look, getting fucked off of a parker brick.

[Cry Havoc]

Wow, we're still going under screens.

[NASpurs]

That was a foul on Davis!!! WTF!

[RD2191]

Parker brick Evans 3. I've seen that before.

[100%duncan]

Yeah Pop im not sure posting Baynes against Davis is the best idea

[Budkin]

Cant catch a break

[RD2191]

Oh look Kawhi beasting.

[Cry Havoc]

Kawhi making it look easy.

[ElNono]

clean block, fuck

[Budkin]

:lol our defense.

[Ice009]

No defense = no win = no championship.

[BatManu20]

Our defense has been shit. Everybody getting beat off the dribble and/or going under the screens, giving them wide open looks that they're hitting.

[TheGoldStandard]

Hack a Asik?

[timtonymanu]

:lol Reflicans

[NASpurs]

Oh look Kawhi beasting.

He won't see the ball again for another five possessions and then will get subbed out.

[Uriel]

What race is Omer Asik?

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Spurs aren't getting any lucky breaks, if Omer had tipped that first OREB to a Spur it might be a single digit game.

[milkyway21]

down to 14 pt game guys

[NASpurs]

Hack-a-shik

[Budkin]

Gotta fuckng score

[SpurPadre]

5, which would be great

Good consolation prize.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!!!

[Silver&Black]

Hack a Asik???

[Cry Havoc]

TIM!!!!

[Beaverfuzz]

Cut it to 8 by the 4th.

[Budkin]

:lmao rebounding

[BatManu20]

Getting killed on the boards too

[RD2191]

He won't see the ball again for another five possessions and then will get subbed out.
Would laugh but probably true.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Now the Spurs can't get rebounds.

[100%duncan]

:lol

[01Snake]

BS foul

[TheGoldStandard]

Terribly retarded foul

[NASpurs]

:lmao you've gotta be shitting me

[rogues]

Asik is such a faggot.

[Cry Havoc]

What the FUCK kind of foul call is that

[crc21209]

Bailout call. Let the big guys fight down there...

[Brazil]

Getting killed on the boards too

Parker's fault tbh

[Uriel]

We should think about hacking Asik, tbh.

[milkyway21]

down 12...

[SpurPadre]

Rebounding is a complete and utter fucking joke.

[timtonymanu]

I like Baynes, but he's going to get destroyed in the playoffs. Especially by refs that don't respect his game.

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[NASpurs]

10 point game bitches

[Budkin]

TP!!!

[Ron Swanson]

Down to 10

[RD2191]

Parker take us home you piece of shit

[Silver&Black]

Down to 10...

[Budkin]

:lmao Boris on AD = layup

[Ron Swanson]

Bobo just got torn up by Davis.

[RD2191]

Need some Mills 3s right now.

[BatManu20]

Has Danny Green scored this game?

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Spurs just need a little luck now and it can get 6ish at the end of the quarter.

[100%duncan]

Cmon Boris let Davis shoot jumpers

[timtonymanu]

Has Danny Green scored this game?

I don't think he has a FGA yet.

[RD2191]

Fuck come o Kawhi

[SpurPadre]

Damnit, we needed that 3 ball from Kawhi.

[Budkin]

Bad shot KL

[NASpurs]

This is what you get for shitting the bed early on.

[dabom]

Cant pass the ball to kawhi. Fucking fail tbh.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

That zone was dumb

[RD2191]

Can't get it under 10. Fuck.

[Brazil]

Parker take us home you piece of shit

Make up your mind tbh :lol

[Budkin]

Pathetic D

[Cry Havoc]

Make another little run, get it to 7 by the end of 3.

[TheGreatYacht]

Wingstop can't stop a snail atm

[BatManu20]

Shit defense again.

[ElNono]

you need to foul Asik in those situations

[100%duncan]

Tim's PNR D is awful

[RD2191]

Just too many mistakes. This should be down to 6-8.

[timtonymanu]

Unfortunately our bench has been shit so we can't even rely on them to give us a boost.

[Mugen]

Timmy not great tonight. Really miss Tiago with Baynes/Duncan both playing bad tbh.

[Johnny RIngo]

Oh yeah kobe 2013 :lol he was shooting like what .42 :lol

:lol using FG%

2013 Kobe shot 57.0 TS%. Parker this season is shooting 53.7% TS

Kobe that year was infamous for his extremely shitty defense. Nice raw stats but irrelevant because he was giving up just as much on the other end while freezing out his teammates

[Quiet Strength]

you need to foul Asik in those situations

Yup

[Trill Clinton]

you geeks just had to go over and troll the pelicans fans knowing them cajun sumamabitches know voodoo. we're fucked. thanks.

[rogues]

Where the fuck is Green? That guy hits three after three yet they can't find him? Seriously fuckin hell yall.

[daslicer]

This game seems like a microcosm of the spurs season which is they are so close to regaining form but yet so far away.

[Brazil]

Bobo cannot defend ad tbh

fuck splitter it's his fault

[RD2191]

Does Parker ever set anyone up for a shit besides Tim? Dude is a joke of a PG.

[ironman2886]

Green doesn't have a single FG attempt?

[r0drig0lac]

Spurs just can not defend today

[Johnny RIngo]

Timmy not great tonight. Really miss Tiago with Baynes/Duncan both playing bad tbh.

Baynes has never played well against Davis. Missing Tiago tonight really hurts

[rogues]

you geeks just had to go over and troll the pelicans fans knowing them cajun sumamabitches know voodoo. we're fucked. thanks.
:lol, tbh..

[100%duncan]

Bobo cannot defend ad tbh

fuck splitter it's his fault

Pop should have played tiago. THIS is a playoff game. Fucking pussy.

[RD2191]

Get cojo in there.

[Brazil]

:lol using FG%

2013 Kobe shot 57.0 TS%. Parker this season is shooting 53.7% TS

Kobe that year was infamous for his extremely shitty defense. Nice raw stats but irrelevant because he was giving up just as much on the other end while freezing out his teammates

still not close to tonight's game try again dingo :lol

[Budkin]

Tim's PNR D is awful

Been that way all year.

[Malik Hairston]

Pick&roll D non-existent without Splitter, tbh..

Spurs getting destroyed in 2nd chance points, too

:lmao Nets down 9 :lmao

[FkLA]

lol single digit 3 PT FGAs

Hard for the shooters to get their touches when the PG loves to play a two-man game tbh.

[Budkin]

:lol, tbh..

+1

[RD2191]

Lol.

[TheGoldStandard]

Shitty play out of the time out

[BatManu20]

Come on Tony

[milkyway21]

:)The JaZz :yield. :yield

[Budkin]

0-3 from 3.

[Warlord23]

Parker's passes off the pick and roll are horrible

[TheGoldStandard]

HAHAHAHAHA... Giving the ball to TD..

[RD2191]

Shoot Kawhi. This is your team.

[Budkin]

Asik shutting down Timmy... smh

[Budkin]

:lol Spurs

[RD2191]

Parker's passes off the pick and roll are horrible

[Silver&Black]

Shoot the fucking ball Bobo....

[ElNono]

smh Boris, take the shot

[RD2191]

Get it to 10.

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!

[TheGoldStandard]

Jesus Manu and Parker in the game?

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Spurs need to get it to single digits by the end of the quarter, time is running out quickly.

[KaiRMD1]

I'm assuming we just want to screw over OKC, right?

[Budkin]

Evans eating us for dinner.

[Robz4000]

Everyone is scoring on Kawhi...

[Johnny RIngo]

Unfortunately our bench has been shit so we can't even rely on them to give us a boost.

Lot of people underestimate how important Manu was to our run last year. Patty too. Without either playing at a high level and Tiago being possibly injured, it's going to be extremely difficult to win those road games in the playoffs.

[TheGoldStandard]

Parker overdribbling

[RD2191]

Parker:lol

[100%duncan]

Parker turnovers smh

[Budkin]

Pelicans just want this shit more.

[timtonymanu]

smh still a pussy effort. Shut it down, Pop. These guys want to lose in the 1st round.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

We're finished, can't believe Spurs are sixth seed wow

[Mikeanaro]

Lol parker killing spurs.

[HI-FI]

:lol
playoff parker

[r0drig0lac]

depressing fucking game, fluke shots all the time

[FkLA]

Can someone slash Rique's achilles please?

[Uriel]

Anthony Davis isn't leaving New Orleans. Every fiber of his being exudes Pelican. Even his face.

[TheGoldStandard]

Game over

[RD2191]

People hating on Russ when Porker does the same shit.

[Budkin]

:lmao Defense!!!

[BatManu20]

Back to 18

[TheGreatYacht]

Splitter or no Splitter. They're hitting everything, just not our night

[milkyway21]

the Spurs must make 3s to catch up

[Cry Havoc]

We're done. Root for the Pacers.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Parker is REALLY shitty, but unfortunately he's the only player we have with the consistent confidence of a grown man.

You can see everyone else's balls shrinking.

[BatManu20]

Our entire team has forgotten how to pass, apparently.

[Budkin]

Wow...

[Johnny RIngo]

I'm assuming we just want to screw over OKC, right?

No - we're just choking

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!!

[Cry Havoc]

We're finished, can't believe Spurs are sixth seed wow

If Indy wins we're the 5 and get HCA in the first.

[Budkin]

If Indy wins we're the 5 and get HCA in the first.

They won't need to try because Nets about to lose to Magic.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Spurs IQ is at a zero right now.

[milkyway21]

Back to 16-pt Pelican lead

[KL2]

Spurs need to give the ball to Leonard, Parker ball isn't working lmao

[Budkin]

smfh Patty.

[TXstbobcat]

Needed that mills 3 to go down

[100%duncan]

Patty.

[Mugen]

Manu is just awful to watch right now. Too bad Danny has been non-existent tonight.

[ElNono]

0-4 from 3 right now.... just completely shut down from the 3 point lines and on top of that we can't hit

[RD2191]

Wouldn't be shocked if Kawhi left because of porker.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Spurs have shot 4 threes and have made 0.

[crc21209]

Fuck this game. Spurs should be at home anyway. They're the champs, should start the season at home and end the season at home. Its rare when the Spurs finish on the road IIRC...

[r0drig0lac]

Davis can not score in Kawhi .. that's a fact

[shingo_318]

Fuck Porker

[TheGoldStandard]

Maybe this will be the kick to their complacency but I doubt it. I see a few more playoff duds happening. They have no fire when they need it and when someone kicks them in the balls they just smile and nod.

[Johnny RIngo]

People hating on Russ when Porker does the same shit.

Their career playoff efficiency is nearly identical and yet Russ is the one that's labeled a chucker.

[FkLA]

Parker is REALLY shitty, but unfortunately he's the only player we have with the consistent confidence of a grown man.

You can see everyone else's balls shrinking.

Dude hes been averaging like 5 ppg and playing his patented D in April...

[Cry Havoc]

They won't need to try because Nets about to lose to Magic.

It's a 3 point game. lol

[r0drig0lac]

Parker is the only player who can score consistently today, shame that can not defend a stone

[KaiRMD1]

Not that big of a lead

[ducks]

is this the game leonard does not keep his steal streak alive

[crc21209]

They won't need to try because Nets about to lose to Magic.

Its only the 3rd qtr and the Nets are only down 3 chill out :lol

[100%duncan]

Go nets and pacers. Fuck this game.

[milkyway21]

GREEN & MANU OFF NIGHT :(

[daslicer]

Pelicans are just a bad match up for the Spurs. This was the worst game to have a must win type of game.

[RD2191]

Their career playoff efficiency is nearly identical and yet Russ is the one that's labeled a chucker.
ST for you.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

8-0 run right now can possible save the 2nd seed, anything else probably means 6th.

[Mikeanaro]

No fucking 3 pointers, whats going on?.

[TheGoldStandard]

Manu with more shitty passing

[TheGreatYacht]

is this the game leonard does not keep his steal streak alive
It's a blowout. Stat pad incoming...

[ViceCity86]

Pacers will go all out in 1st half,but they should know if Brooklyn lost by halftime.
If so,they'll tank the 2nd half.

[Ice009]

Where the fuck is Green? That guy hits three after three yet they can't find him? Seriously fuckin hell yall.

I don't understand. Danny is one of the best shooters on the planet. Can't the Spurs run some screens to get him open looks?

[ElNono]

they defend the P&R extremely well... need to move them around

[KaiRMD1]

We can't pass for shit

[Splits]

Need some Errors and Mills.

[HI-FI]

Patty will give us a chance. Just need to keep Parker on bench unless Pop wants to throw this game.

[Warlord23]

Spurs actually have the better FG% right now but losing due to TOs, 2nd chance points and 3-point shooting. The passing has been mediocre ... Throwing passes at teammates' feet, allowing NO to get easy steals, overdribbling

[TXstbobcat]

Mills!!!!!!!!

[TheGoldStandard]

I don't understand. Danny is one of the best shooters on the planet. Can't the Spurs run some screens to get him open looks?
More shitty pick n rolls it is

[Budkin]

Finally Patty

[ElNono]

fuck that shithead Gordon

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Alright its over, Houston here we come

[LakerHater]

588515674831527936

[NASpurs]

Watch a bunch of fucktards. Go on a 11 game winning streak to get curbstomped on the last game that mattered.

[r0drig0lac]

haha

[Budkin]

:lmao and they hit 40 footers...

[crc21209]

Pelicans are taking nothing but jumpers and making them...:td

[tim_duncan_fan]

Dude hes been averaging like 5 ppg and playing his patented D in April...

Yeah, but he doesn't look too timid to shoot, unlike the rest of the squad.

[Beaverfuzz]

Bring on the Slippers.

[TXstbobcat]

Manu333333333333

[ElNono]

Mannnuuuuu

[Budkin]

Watch a bunch of fucktards. Go on a 11 game winning streak to get curbstomped on the last game that mattered.

Did it to themselves all season. Too little too late.

[milkyway21]

Manu tres....finally !

[BatManu20]

Spurs just made our first 3 with 17 sec left in the half.

[ElNono]

lets go MVPatty!!!

[TXstbobcat]

Mills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Robz4000]

Party Thrills!!!!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

This feels like the biggest dick tease right now.

[NASpurs]

11 point game :wow

MVPATTY!!!

[KaiRMD1]

MVPATTY!!!!!!

[Budkin]

OMFG Patty

[100%duncan]

PATTYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

[Cry Havoc]

PADDY STACKS

[Silver&Black]

Down to 11....MVPatty for 3333333.

We got this.

[r0drig0lac]

Pat

[timtonymanu]

We may have life. Just need to fucking step the fuck up.

[TheGoldStandard]

Mills scored... time to bench him right Pop?

[BatManu20]

Damn tough shot Patty

[FkLA]

Ride MVPaddy in the 4th tbh.

[Mikeanaro]

MVPATTY TO THE RESCUE!
