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

[Godbama]

Shouldn't we just try to like, play defense and stop the other team from scoring anything that possession? We haven't run out of time or space, we cut their lead well...is Asik scoring one point every possession a good thing?

[Arcadian]

Their offense isn't even good! Just let them play their offense and watch them choke.

[KaiRMD1]

Danny really needs to be in there right now

[Beaverfuzz]

Gotta keep scoring if you're going to hack Asik.

[Pauleta14]

bad idea, WE are the one who need a run...

[SpurPadre]

he's splitting them...not good enough.

[Johnny RIngo]

Patty should be out there instead of Parker and Marco

[NASpurs]

dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble

[TXstbobcat]

Pelicans getting frustrated

[james evans]

Shaq does.
hahah .

[Cry Havoc]

:lmao Jrue

"WHY CANT I RAPE THIS MAN IF HES GOT THE BALL"

[Raven]

i really don't think we needed that, they are not this good and we can defend them easily with wingstop

[100%duncan]

In the bonus. gottatake adv

[Ellsworth]

Where the fuck is Danny?
Maybe he's trying to remember what time of the season it is to be playing out there(?).

[Beaverfuzz]

Danny really needs to be in there right now

Verde needs to shoot if he comes in. I'd rather he be 0-10 than 0-0

[ElNono]

time for Tim to go to work now that Asik isnt there

[Cry Havoc]

Cut it to 4, Tony.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Get Asik out helps on offense, its gonna be hard for the Spurs to stop them right now though.

[SpurPadre]

FUCK YOU, TP...FUCKING ASIK COULD'VE FUCKING DONE THAT!

[Cry Havoc]

:headbang

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you Enrique.

[Budkin]

TP on par with Asik :lol

[Raven]

jrue was just asking to get called for a foul there

[TheGoldStandard]

That Bellinelli defense..

[NASpurs]

Gordon passed Faganelli like he wasn't there

[Godbama]

HACK A PARKER SUCCESSFUL

[Cry Havoc]

Beli.... wow.

[Budkin]

Game tbh

[Silver&Black]

Dat Belinelli defense...smh

[TheGoldStandard]

lol... and Marco is in the game why???

[Beaverfuzz]

Fuckers!

[Cry Havoc]

Holy shit get Marco off the floor

[Budkin]

Was fun while it lasted... fuckers.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Spurs defense is so pathetic sometimes

[timtonymanu]

Cancerneli

[ElNono]

smh that defense... come on Kawhi

[BatManu20]

Damn Kawhi...

[Cry Havoc]

Evans torching Kawhi now. :pctoss

[Uriel]

Fuck.

[james evans]

why is bellinelli in the game?

[Johnny RIngo]

:lol Parker and Marco choking while Pop sits out Patty

[KaiRMD1]

I'm content with 6, it's fine, whatever

[100%duncan]

Are you surprised popobitch? Go suck Belinelli's cock you motherfuck

[Pauleta14]

Pop put them back in the game...

[Cry Havoc]

Good news... the Nets are up 1 on Orlando.

[FkLA]

The best 3&D guy in the league is buried on the bench. In case anyone missed it tbh.

[ducks]

leonard d player of the year yeah right

[Mugen]

:lol an absolute fucking joke of an effort by Pop tonight

Beli and TP in while Danny/Patty are on the bench

[tim_duncan_fan]

lol Spurs too lazy to win.

[crc21209]

Pop and Belinelli started that run for New Orleans. Way to go Pop. Put Belinelli on Evans while Green sits on the bench. Pop is such a hardheaded fuck and treats Green like shit at times...

[SpursFan86]

WHY THE FUCK IS BELINELLI IN OVER GREEN OR MANU???

god dammit Pop

[Warlord23]

Green in for Beli, please

[TheGreatYacht]

TAKE LEONARD OFF EVANS FFS

[100%duncan]

Pop is the best coach in the NBA. :toast

Yeah. No.

[Raven]

FUCK HIM

[Robz4000]

Fuck you Pop. Why the fuck was Beli still in there?

[KaiRMD1]

Spurs are back to that early January funk kind of play tonight

[TheGoldStandard]

Manu back in? WHY???

[rogues]

Does Pop know that Danny Green is on the bench? Are you fucking serious bro?

[baseline bum]

Dicksuckingnelli passing up an open three and then letting Cornerstone run right by him for the layup. Fucking homo.

[ElNono]

So Pop is playing possum with Danny?

[Budkin]

Evans torching Kawhi now. :pctoss

Why does he pull this shit from time to time? It's like he doesn't care.

[Mugen]

you absolutely cannot stress how stupid fucking Pop is sometimes tbh

[Malik Hairston]

One of the worst coaching jobs of Pop's career IMO..

[NASpurs]

Maybe one day Pop will get over himself.

[beirmeistr]

come on, Tim, get intensity

[Cry Havoc]

Is Green hurt? No WAY he's in the doghouse this far on a big game. Wtf.

[milkyway21]

What abiut Green Pop ??

[Ice009]

Why in the fuck would you leave Marco out on the court. Fucking idiot coach. Doesn't play Marco all game, then fucking putting him out there in the most critical part of the game like it's game 6 of the finals 2013.

What a fucking retard of a coach.

[HI-FI]

dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble dribble
Parker's epithet

[TheGoldStandard]

Poor Patty Mills.. Only reason Spurs are in the game and he's on the bench.. LOL Pop is retarded.

[Budkin]

Kawhi killing us again.

[SpurPadre]

Parker is choking like there's no tomorrow.

[Darius Bieber]

Game over. Sixth seed tbh.

[Spurs9]

:lol Knicks game

[100%duncan]

Game over. Fuck you Pop :toast

[timtonymanu]

Lol Pop is making no adjustments to these guys.

Running the same shit and expecting it to deliver.

[rogues]

The best 3&D guy in the league is buried on the bench. In case anyone missed it tbh.
Mindboggling. Is Popovich drunk?

[Mugen]

:lol Pop costing this team a 2 seed, let's hope it's that CIA bullshit

[Uriel]

My heart is going to burst out of my chest.

[DMC]

Pop don't want Brooks sniffing another playoff game.

[r0drig0lac]

need mills back

[PingPong]

Put Mills back.

[Cry Havoc]

Pop must just not care that much about seeding if Green isn't in the game. Or he's hurt.

Something. Something isn't right about this.

[weebo]

looks like the spurs are gonna start the po's on the road...serves them right for losing to the knicks

[ElNono]

bring MVPatty back in, tbh...

[$pursDynasty]

kiwi seems in a daze and verde is missing in action

[Arcadian]

Danny Green is one of our best players. If he doesn't play and take some shots, that significantly hurts our chances of winning.

[Ice009]

This is game 6 2013 level lineups from Pop.

I'm sorry, but he IS NOT even close the the best coach of all time. EVEN I could do a better job than this shit.

[UZER]

:lol pop forcing Ryan Anderson in the game.... he opens up the lane in the middle just by standing outside...two NO layups.

[Johnny RIngo]

Poor Patty Mills.. Only reason Spurs are in the game and he's on the bench.. LOL Pop is retarded.

Pop bringing in the choke artist lineup full of low IQ Euros like Tony and Marco while sitting out the guy that brought us back into the game

[Raven]

FUCK HATER
FUCK CRY FAGGOT
FUCK BENEFAGTOR
FUCK CANCERNELLI
FUCK!!!

[ironman2886]

I'll never understand Pop's hatred for Green.

[Budkin]

Poor Patty Mills.. Only reason Spurs are in the game and he's on the bench.. LOL Pop is retarded.

This.

[NASpurs]

You know Pop was partying it up in New Orleans. Lay off the wine faggot.

[ducks]

Pop must just not care that much about seeding if Green isn't in the game. Or he's hurt.

Something. Something isn't right about this.

has he even shot he has no balls on the road

[Mugen]

:lol Happy for Danny that he can play for a coach next season that trusts him over Marco Fucking Belinelli tbh

[boutons_deux]

So many layups

[HI-FI]

:lol Pop costing this team a 2 seed, let's hope it's that CIA bullshit
Let's hope.

[cjw]

Memphis is gonna win by 15. Indy is gassed.

[Chomag]

Spurs are Lazy

[Warlord23]

I would close with Mills, Green, Leonard, Diaw and Duncan here. Enough shooting to keep the D honest, run the offense via Diaw

[Budkin]

I'll never understand Pop's hatred for Green.

Why is he playing this mad scientist shit with the season on the line?

[ElNono]

Pop must just not care that much about seeding if Green isn't in the game. Or he's hurt.

Something. Something isn't right about this.

It's not complicated, Pop is looking for offense... Danny can't do anything about that.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Spurs got it to 4 and then fell apart defensively.

[Darius Bieber]

Yeah, Green's gonna leave in the off season if he doesn't get this playing time.

[tholdren]

we would rather play Clippers tbh.... then we deal with mavs houston winner...

[rogues]

Danny Green should come to OKC. We'll show him the necessary respect.

[100%duncan]

Pop must just not care that much about seeding if Green isn't in the game. Or he's hurt.

Something. Something isn't right about this.

He's being his usual stubborn self. Nothing new. Overrated fuck.

[KaiRMD1]

Kawhi isn't gonna be the defensive player of the year, that's a fact just because of this game, they aren't going to vote him in

[HI-FI]

FUCK HATER
FUCK CRY FAGGOT
FUCK BENEFAGTOR
FUCK CANCERNELLI
FUCK!!!

:lmao
good ole Raven

[ElNono]

Waiting for Pop to jump off his seat and congratulate Monty, tbh

[NASpurs]

GO PACERS!

[Cry Havoc]

11 points. Fuck.

[FkLA]

:lol Happy for Danny that he can play for a coach next season that trusts him over Marco Fucking Belinelli tbh

Wouldn't blame him if he left tbh.

[milkyway21]

The Pelis are clearly the guest team.

Or the monitoring agents . lol

[beirmeistr]

I'll never understand Pop's hatred for Green.

giving Green reason to go elsewhere

[still.focused]

No Green
No M ills
Plenty of the Tony Parker dribble show

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!!!

[Chomag]

Could hsve been going deep on Dallas in the first round but oh well...

[Cry Havoc]

Tim.

[tholdren]

Why is he playing this mad scientist shit with the season on the line?

he hates green because hes the only black guy on the team that acts black.

[Johnny RIngo]

Pop overcoaching with stupid lineups and gimmicks that weren't needed tonight.

[703 Spurz]

Green's 2 of his last 3 games he has 0 points in each. Awful.

[SpurPadre]

Danny Green should come to OKC. We'll show him the necessary respect.

How, by giving him a constant neck strain watching Chuckbrook take 40 shots a game?

[ElNono]

need that 3

[ironman2886]

Why is he playing this mad scientist shit with the season on the line?
Pop giveth and Pop taketh.

[crc21209]

Get Manu out, hes settling for 3s tonight and missing. Get Green in!

[Ice009]

fucking spastic coach and stupid lineups. Danny Green. How can you not fucking have him on the court???????????????

Kawhi Leonard? These guys don't even trust him. Won't pass him the ball, won't give him the ball. Fucking bitches.

Parker ball hogging.

Kawhi and Danny need to give Pop and the Spurs the finger. Just leave and let them run it all through Parker and that bullshit contract. Spurs deserve a Lakers like fade.

[TheGoldStandard]

Timmy will clank these

[milkyway21]

bring back Patty Mills

[Budkin]

Manu smh

[Budkin]

Duncan choking at the line per par.

[timtonymanu]

Wouldn't blame him if he left tbh.

Same here. Pop can suffer with Enrique Beli next season if he pleases.

[Johnny RIngo]

+9 Patty
-9 Marco
-14 Parker

[TheGreatYacht]

Danny Green should come to OKC. We'll show him the necessary respect.
What the hell my nigga :lol why are you rooting for those inbreds

[SpurPadre]

So, Asik is now a better free throw shooter than Parker and TD.

[beirmeistr]

is memphis playing yet.

[Silver&Black]

First second chance points of the game :wow

[ElNono]

fucking spastic coach and stupid lineups. Danny Green. How can you not fucking have him on the court???????????????

Kawhi Leonard? These guys don't even trust him. Won't pass him the ball, won't give him the ball. Fucking bitches.

Parker ball hogging.

Kawhi and Danny need to give Pop and the Spurs the finger. Just leave and let them run it all through Parker and that bullshit contract. Spurs deserve a Lakers like fade.

tell us how you really feel :lol

[TheGoldStandard]

HAHAHAHA Gordon all alone

[NASpurs]

Game

[vagabundios]

If manu can lay one, we win LoL.... My god... what a night

[Cry Havoc]

GG. Well played Pelis.

[ironman2886]

Kawhi is awful.

[timtonymanu]

Game

Hope it's worth tanking, Pop.

[Budkin]

Fuck.

[KaiRMD1]

I feel like this game is over, it's only a matter of time before pop waves the white flag

[ElNono]

not our night

[Darius Bieber]

Clippers getting the brooms out tbh

[Godbama]

You seriously ending the season like this, guys?

[Budkin]

FUCK YOU SPURS

[tim_duncan_fan]

Oh well. 6th seed it is.

Lazy bastards.

[Splits]

Need that 5 seed, Indiana gonna take care of Mem. Better than the 2.

[ironman2886]

Over.

[ploto]

I don't like TD's hair!

[TheGoldStandard]

Monty Williams out coaching Pop... Faggot Pop going to give smug answers after the game.

[milkyway21]

With Green out no D in the perimeter

[01Snake]

This one, along with the #2 seed is slowly slipping away.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy slam!!!!

[Cry Havoc]

Brooklyn up 7. We could easily see the Pacers beat Memphis. :tu

[Budkin]

Once again, too little, too late.

[ElNono]

at least don't get hurt now

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi is awful.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Things are dark right now. Spurs offense right now doesn't look like it can score 15ish points in 4 minutes, which is what they're probably gonna need.

[DMC]

What does it matter what seeding we get? We aren't going to win due to HCA. We either win on the road or we won't.

[beirmeistr]

apparently the Spurs dont want to fight for sixth title

[703 Spurz]

If Memphis loses to Indiana, what does that mean for SA? 5 seed?

[Cry Havoc]

Scoreboard Alert: Indiana 24 Memphis 22 - End of 1st

[TheGoldStandard]

Someone needs to ask him flat out, "Patty Mills sparks the come back and you bench him, were you drunk?" follow up question, "do you hate patty mills?"

[313]

at least don't get hurt now

[Uriel]

Kawhi playing like dog shit + Spurs being unable to buy a shot + Pelicans playing out of their collective minds = Spurs loss

[Splits]

Kawhi getting absolutely abused

[ducks]

who will make the 2 big threes

[Cry Havoc]

If Memphis loses to Indiana, what does that mean for SA? 5 seed?

Yep, and HCA vs Portland in the first round.

[Silver&Black]

Let's go Pacers...

:cheer

[rogues]

If Memphis loses to Indiana, what does that mean for SA? 5 seed?
Yall have the fifth seed with HCA.

[ElNono]

If there's a couple of OKC fans reading this post...

LMAO

[SpurPadre]

What does it matter what seeding we get? We aren't going to win due to HCA. We either win on the road or we won't.

Because only 1 team in league history has ever won the title without HCA. That's why it matters...significantly.

[ElNono]

If Memphis loses to Indiana, what does that mean for SA? 5 seed?

yeah, a date with Portland

[Mugen]

DGAF about this loss. But Pop being retarded, Manu looking done, and Tiago being soft are definite causes for concern.....

[Warlord23]

I get that Pop goes with funny lineups to teach certain guys a lesson. But this is basically the difference between seed # 2 and 6, ffs

[313]

What does it matter what seeding we get? We aren't going to win due to HCA. We either win on the road or we won't. Not only would we have no home court as the 6th, we would have a tougher road to the finals as well. Clippers, Mem/Hou, then GSW.

[ironman2886]

This team was doomed once Kawhi and Green decided not to show up.

[Cry Havoc]

Because only 1 team in league history has ever won the title without HCA. That's why it matters...significantly.

That team's name? Herbie Hancock!

[Spurs9]

We need that 5 seed. Go slong hill:cheer:cheer

[ElNono]

Kawhi looks done...

[ducks]

manu 1-7 bull shit manu retire

[TheGoldStandard]

I get that Pop goes with funny lineups to teach certain guys a lesson. But this is basically the difference between seed # 2 and 6, ffs

Grown men don't learn lessons. They get paid regardless, Pop just looks like the asshole.

[NASpurs]

Parker and Patty :lol

[Silver&Black]

C'mon Kawhi...needed that one.

[ironman2886]

Kawhi looks out of it.

[weebo]

Kawhi doesn't have it tonight.

[r0drig0lac]

c'mon kawhi

[beirmeistr]

is there a memphis score yet

[703 Spurz]

Yep, and HCA vs Portland in the first round.

And if Memphis wins, which they will, SA is back to 6 and will play at Houston or the Clippers.

[313]

Lol Kawhi chucking up a 20 footer

[Johnny RIngo]

The low IQ Euro duo of Parker/Belinelli has been terrible all year and Pop chooses to close the game with them

[TXstbobcat]

Mills!!!!!

[TheGoldStandard]

Patty comes in and scores.. Too little too late

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Gonna take a lot of luck to win this

[ElNono]

:lol Patty for starter, tbh

[Cry Havoc]

Pop totally threw this game. :pctoss

[DMC]

Because only 1 team in league history has ever won the title without HCA. That's why it matters...significantly.
Right, and no team in NBA history won with the margin the Spurs did in the Finals last year.

Teams that have HCA historically are better teams in the 1st place. No so this season.

[Raven]

it's clear our team now feels the long jumper is efficient basketball.. smh

[TXstbobcat]

Bobo!!!!

[NASpurs]

cock tease comeback

[ironman2886]

Too little.

[Beaverfuzz]

GO PACERS!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

It was probably good.

[KaiRMD1]

Is there a reason we just let him take the wide open shot?

[Ron Swanson]

That's game.

[milkyway21]

wow. Kawhi misses & misses that is 6 pts :(

[ElNono]

gg Pels.... congrats Darth, all the other Pels folks

[Silver&Black]

Too little.

Too late.

[timtonymanu]

Yeah let's leave that guy wide open.

[TheGoldStandard]

Lol Pop running Mills out there when the game is over.. Hope he has a heart attack

[beirmeistr]

td and davis have qtip hairdos

[Budkin]

Great defense...

[SpursFan86]

What does it matter what seeding we get? We aren't going to win due to HCA. We either win on the road or we won't.

Would you rather play Dallas with HCA in the first round, or the Clippers without HCA? Pretty easy question.

It's not the end of the world if we end up 6th, but it'd be pretty shitty to go through all of this (won 21 of our last 25) just to end up moving from 7th to 6th.

[Uriel]

If the Spurs can't win in New Orleans, they can't win in Golden State tbh.

[Budkin]

Lol Pop running Mills out there when the game is over.. Hope he has a heart attack

Trolling us all.

[SpurPadre]

Right, and no team in NBA history won with the margin the Spurs did in the Finals last year.

Teams that have HCA historically are better teams in the 1st place. No so this season.

I'm not saying we're done but to think HCA doesn't matter just isn't right.

[Splits]

Great D by Parker. Kawhi another miss, 3 straight.

[DMC]

Not only would we have no home court as the 6th, we would have a tougher road to the finals as well. Clippers, Mem/Hou, then GSW.

Spurs can beat all those teams on the road, except GSW. They won't get HCA against them anyhow. If you need an easier road, you're not fit to compete.

[TheGoldStandard]

LOL Leonard ball hogging now

[NASpurs]

Gutless worms

[SpurPadre]

why are you going for a contested jumper now?

[ElNono]

count the basket

[Johnny RIngo]

Boris is the only good Euro on this team. Parker and Marco are so fucking bad. Both choke artists in the post season too

[ploto]

Whistle before the shot.

[Uriel]

Count the 3 plus free throw.

[Trill Clinton]

If the Spurs can't win in New Orleans, they can't win in Golden State tbh.


chill

[Budkin]

TEASE TEASE TEASE

[100%duncan]

Kawhi looks done...

its like he wants out

[milkyway21]

You know what if the Pelicans win in the MVP voting should consider Davis include him in their discussion he is really the future.....

[KaiRMD1]

Now Danny is coming in!? NOW!!!!!!?????

[DMC]

I'm not saying we're done but to think HCA doesn't matter just isn't right.

I'd take the Spurs without HCA over anyone but the Warriors with HCA. Ergo it's irrelevant.

[FkLA]

Yeah bring Danny in now fucking jackass. :lol

[crc21209]

Count that! Cmon NBA you know you want Westbrook in the Playoffs! :lol

[BatManu20]

:lol Spurs killing themselves for the 6 seed

[TheGoldStandard]

Maybe he refused to say that Parker was better than him

[Godbama]

TOP TEN PLAYER KAWHI LEONARD

[Budkin]

Oh what a bunch of bullshit.

[SpurPadre]

This is all Tim Legler's fault, tbh. He said last week that the Rockets would hold on to #2 and then we beat them twice. He changed his tune yesterday saying we would hold on to #2 seed and now look what happened. Fucking jinxed us.

[loveforthegame]

Pop trolled us good tonight.

Poor Danny.

[TheGoldStandard]

LOL Now here comes Danny.

[$pursDynasty]

now Pop puts in Green so he is not hurt? CIA Pop BS

[peacemaker885]

No home court for possibly 3 series would be very difficult considering the parity of teams in the west. Mentioned it before and saying it again, it would be epic if we win it all this year. In other words the chances are pretty slim.

[milkyway21]

No home court
