Pivotal First Preseason Game Thread - Spurs @ Kings - Oct 8, 2015 9 PM CST

[ElNono]

Kings commentators still one of the best duo in the business, tbh

[HarlemHeat37]

Patty is the only Spurs player that never plays at less than 100%, tbh:lol..

With Butler as the veteran shooter on the team, it really doesn't make any sense to keep Bonner, too..he looked completely finished last year, I can't imagine him looking any better in 2015/16..

[TheGreatYacht]

Not going to lie this kid Kyle is going to be amazing when he gets chemistry w the real NBA teammates. I don't see him back in the dleague at all.
Agreed, everyone in the summer league wasn't in his class. Definitely NBA talent

[nbaman99]

Everyone calm down, 1st pre season game and first half.

[RD2191]

You betrayed me. How could you?

If this is the Butler we get all year, that seems like a no brainer. And I'm no Bonner basher.

Patty always hustles. I hope we get peak Patty and he's past his shoulder surgery completely.

[weeks]

Everyone calm down
where's the fun in that? :lol

[apalisoc_9]

Man Aldridge looks fat...

Probably been hanging too much at burger king with Tony

[HarlemHeat37]

Kings commentators still one of the best duo in the business, tbh

Yep, definitely top 3 and probably the #1 Spurs fans among announcers outside of the Spurs guys:lol..

[Mikeanaro]

Its now or never, the destiny of the franchise is at risk.

[tmtcsc]

Forget the Spurs, Spurstalk is in mid-season form tonight. LMA Sucks, Ray sucks, LOL. Holy shit, first preseason game - with a collection of new players - and people are freaking out already. Classic.

[TheGreatYacht]

Good looking out bruh, hopefully the niggas that clicked on your link don't have their wifes check the mail these next two weeks.......

[ElNono]

You betrayed me. How could you?

Virus is telling me your name is not roberto! you betrayed me!

[apalisoc_9]

Hopefully the acutally run something better than one on one post ups for LMA...

[RD2191]

Virus is telling me your name is not roberto! you betrayed me!

I have like 17 aliases.

I don't have a krew.Yep, all you people who do the same shtick every minute of every day.

[Spurtacular]

McCallum sucks. Can't believe people thought he was better than Joseph.

That's the power of hate, tbh.

[RD2191]

ok Paco

[gospursgojas]

Man Aldridge looks fat...

Probably been hanging too much at burger king with Tony

Have some respect for San Antonio....Taco Cabana with Tony

[Splits]

Good thing LaMarsha's 4th year is an option. It's obvious he's the next Richard Jefferson.

What a terrible offseason. Poor Timmy

[TheDoctor]

Butler played really good in short minutes. Patty balled that first half. Kyle used his minutes really good. West hustling on both sides of the floor. Danny's still in the Philippines. LMA seems a little bit lost and anxious. Kawhi seems bored. Jimmer... well, who?

[ElNono]

Ray was ok, tbh.... just a week of training camp, haven't played basketball in 5 months.. it'll take time

[RD2191]

Yep, all you people who do the same shtick every minute of every day.

What do you mean you people? Ban for racism.

[ChumpDumper]

What do you mean you people? Ban for racism.Don't get mad.

[NASpurs]

Is it too late to trade Aldridge for Splitter, Joseph and Baynes?

[RD2191]

Kawhi

[TheDoctor]

Is it too late to trade Aldridge for Splitter, Joseph and Baynes?

Throw Austin Daye in the mix just for shizzle.

[SAGirl]

I actually like trying out Simmons at pg....A lineups or Simmons, Green and Kawhi would pitch fits against some teams....
He can't dribble well enough for that.

[Boomersgold]

Danny green in midseason form.

[apalisoc_9]

IT guys, is it possible to hack Aldridge number and delete Tony's number? He looks fat and slow

[TheDoctor]

MOther f*cker Anderson.

[TheGreatYacht]

James Anderson you traffic cone titty having faggot

[G-Dawgg]

Aldridge is looking like a fatso..

[Spurs9]

Wow these nba streams are sketchy with all of these ads blasted and signup pages. Finally got one working in really crappy resolution.

[RD2191]

Fuck off, Gay.

[ChumpDumper]

He's been in SA for a few months now, doesn't take long for him to get fat with all the taco joints everywhere imo

[NASpurs]

Semen cloud over Spurtacular's temple

[siraulo23]

Lamarcus barely touching the ball

[Robz4000]

Time to blow it up?

[RD2191]

The fuck Kawhi

[Nathan89]

Jimmer > Ray

[look_at_g_shred]

Who would've ever thought we'd here fredette to Aldridge..damn..

[Hoops Czar]

Jimmer is horrific

[Spurtacular]

Would've been a 3 for Jimmer if Kawhi made the damn pass.

[apalisoc_9]

Aldridge doesn't know how to pass the ball in the post I guess...

[Splits]

:lmao Jimmer SUCCCXXXX

[ChumpDumper]

Would've been a 3 for Jimmer if Kawhi made the damn pass.It begins.

[ElNono]

lots of faggotry going on right now

[Splits]

Would've been a 3 for Jimmer if Kawhi made the damn pass.

:lol

[SPURt]

These Cavs commercials are damn awful

[Spurtacular]

Jimmer > Ray

And it's not even close.

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi almost got Jimmer Jason Terry'd :lmao

[Nathan89]

Kawhi needs to make an easy pass like that to Jimmer. Don't pick up bad habits from...

[Spurtacular]

Who would've ever thought we'd here fredette to Aldridge..damn..

:lol

[apalisoc_9]

Seriously get LMA out of Tony Sight

[Darius Bieber]

Kawhi needs to make an easy pass like that to Jimmer. Don't pick up bad habits from...

Jimmer Fredette swished the shot too.

[ChumpDumper]

Seriously get LMA out of Tony Sightshtick

[Admidave50]

GO SPURS GO

5am in Paris to support my Spurs !

[TheDoctor]

JImmer's already doing his best Tony impersonation missing that easy floater.

[TheGreatYacht]

Alpha warming up

[RD2191]

Scrubette

BRICKETTE

[spursgu]

Scrubette :lol

[hater]

Cousins & gay bullying kawhi & LMA

[Nathan89]

BRICK

Are people not allowed to miss?

[Slime Baller]

No Boban, right? I feel like I would've noticed that.

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Put Housenigga back in!

[Spurtacular]

Kings playin' with fire, sagging off on Jimmer like that. He rushed it though.

[HarlemHeat37]

Really interested in seeing how the Spurs use Aldridge and Duncan together, hopefully we see it next game..

[TheDoctor]

Good move LMA.

[hater]

Nice move LMA

[RD2191]

Marco

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Kings have played 2 games before this. This is half a Spurs team who hasn't played with each other.

[RD2191]

Lol defense

[KL2]

Aldridge isn't playing well but he's drawing quite a bit of fouls, Cousins already has 4, I think he's drawn 2 on him and 2 on Stein.

That's going to be very valuable for the Spurs this year.

[ElNono]

Fredette -6

[Spurtacular]

Cousin allowed to cry for calls?

[Nathan89]

Run the offense through Jimmer already.

[TheDoctor]

LMAO! West hammering.

[hater]

There it is. The pain when u go down 8 late in the game :pctoss

Missed that shit. Not

[Nathan89]

Fredette -6

Are all these turnovers his fault?

[ElNono]

There it is. The pain when u go down 8 late in the game :pctoss

Missed that shit. Not

FWIW, its the 3rd quarter

[hater]

Aldridge isn't playing well but he's drawing quite a bit of fouls, Cousins already has 4, I think he's drawn 2 on him and 2 on Stein.

That's going to be very valuable for the Spurs this year.

Yeah but his D sucks

[ElNono]

Are all these turnovers his fault?

almost

[HarlemHeat37]

Flagrant reviews in preseason:lol..

[G-Dawgg]

Good hard foul by West on Mclemore.

[Tuddy]

So easy to get dmc's head out of the game, even in preseason

[Spurtacular]

Fredette -6

Team sucked this quarter though.

[hater]

:lmao jimmer

He does not belong.

[Nathan89]

Someone took LMA's powers.:depressed

[TheGreatYacht]

These refs are garbage, they better be D-League bound...

[Spurtacular]

Aldridge has been an f'ing black hole. Like watching CoJo at the PF position.

[SAGirl]

It's too obvious these guys have no chemistry together, too many TO, bad cues.

[Johnsyounger]

Put in Boban. Do it. Now.

[SPURt]

The Kings are making us their Queens

[NASpurs]

Will Jimmer be the first person ever to get cut in the middle of a game?

[.G.]

jimmah is trash

[HarlemHeat37]

Aldridge post-up an ugly result on every single play:lol..

[heyheymymy]

put Simmons and KA in and go straight summer league on this game.

[Kawhitstorm]

LMA forcing shot...he needs to get his rhythm from mid-range rather than to sumo wrestle in the post.

[RD2191]

Season over. Blow it up. Duncan and Manu need to retire. Sell Parker to a pig farm.

[weeks]

Aldridge post-up an ugly result on every single play:lol..
i was worried about this but now that it's happening i feel strangely at peace
it can only get better from here

[hater]

Will Jimmer be the first person ever to get cut in the middle of a game?

Thank God Pop is not here. Jimmer would be scrubbing the toilets imo

[RD2191]

Aldridge has been an f'ing black hole. Like watching CoJo at the PF position.
:lmao

[HarlemHeat37]

Hopefully Duncan will play the Aldridge role and Aldridge will play the West role from this game, tbh..

[ElNono]

Can we trade Jimmer to the Warriors?

[ChumpDumper]

Season over. Blow it up. Duncan and Manu need to retire. Sell Parker to a pig farm.
shtick

[ace3g]

Boban time

[SAGirl]

put Simmons and KA in and go straight summer league on this game.
:lmao
:flag:

[apalisoc_9]

Seriously, why are we not seeing more LMA jumpers instead of the ugly post ups?

[HarlemHeat37]

i was worried about this but now that it's happening i feel strangely at peace
it can only get better from here

Why are you so worried about preseason, bro?

The team won't look great to start the season, but this game is just a scrimmage against a shitty team(those types of teams usually excel in preseason:lol)..

[Kawhitstorm]

Aldridge post-up an ugly result on every single play:lol..

That's b/c there is no side action & he isn't doing his job early before he gets the ball. It's straight 4down pound it down their throat postups which isn't LMA's forte.

[Spurs9]

Wow Boban!!


:lmao :lmao gets a tech the 1st 2nd he's in a NBA game wtf :lmao

[r0drig0lac]

boban the giant!

[Rito3d30]

The Giant is in:downspin:

[SAGirl]

Boban w the tech, ruined a nice play by Kyleeee

[Johnsyounger]

Boba already contributing.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Cousins is such a fucking moist pussy, tbh..forever loser..

[SPURt]

good start Boban

[TheDoctor]

LMAO! Boban with his first tech. I can't.

[jyra]

Welcome to the NBA Bobi.

[NASpurs]

Boban gets a tech?! This is the preseason right? Nigga doesn't even speak English that well :lol

[hater]

:lmao boban -10 in 3 seconds :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

These refs would definitely let Cousins cuck.

[spurs10]

17 to 2 run?

[RD2191]

Sean E out of nowhere with a chair to D Cousins head.:wow

[Kawhitstorm]

Hopefully Duncan will play the Aldridge role and Aldridge will play the West role from this game, tbh..

Considering the spacing issue I doubt Pop is going to be calling 4-down plays for LMA & there will be a lot more high-low

[SAGirl]

SAVE US KYLEEEE

[spursgu]

Anderson looks solid :tu

[Spurtacular]

Cousins trolls Boban; and Boban gets t'd?

[Spurs9]

Boban looks pretty mobile for his size tbh

[TheDoctor]

Damn Kyle, same runner/floater we saw in the practice vids.

[Spurtacular]

Anderson looks solid :tu

Looking better. He's still slow.

[ChumpDumper]

Det Kyle tho.

[NASpurs]

Anderson looks a little faster to me, maybe I'm just seeing shit

[hater]

Love Anderson told u nigas


The bright spot tonight. Along with rasual

[weeks]

Why are you so worried about preseason, bro?

The team won't look great to start the season, but this game is just a scrimmage against a shitty team(those types of teams usually excel in preseason:lol)..
i'm not worried about the preseason
i'm worried about lma whining about touches and points and shit like that and playing heavy iso bs.
hopefully this gets ironed out before the season starts, sure, but i can bitch when i see it :bang

[Spurtacular]

McCallum back in; that's a waste.

[hater]

Boban block!!!!

[SpursFan86]

Holy shit, Boban just got down the court pretty quickly. That's seriously impressive.

[HarlemHeat37]

That's b/c there is no side action & he isn't doing his job early before he gets the ball. It's straight 4down pound it down their throat postups which isn't LMA's forte.

Yep, it's not his game, at all, as I said earlier in the thread, but I'm assuming it's just to get him in basketball shape and it's easier for a team to run ISO when there's no chemistry..

[Kawhitstorm]

Seriously, why are we not seeing more LMA jumpers instead of the ugly post ups?

Who's coaching tonight?

[hater]

Holy shit boban is fucking gigantic

[ElNono]

Impressed with Boban.. thought he would be much worse

[gambit1990]

ugh, missed the boban block.

[weeks]

McCallum back in; that's a waste.
you seriously sound like a LOF

[SAGirl]

Kyle has impressed me. When he starts to get more comfortable out there he's going to go all SL MVP!!!
I am starting the chant: MVPKyle

[K...]

Who's coaching tonight?

The euro guy

[HarlemHeat37]

Considering the spacing issue I doubt Pop is going to be calling 4-down plays for LMA & there will be a lot more high-low

Ya, I meant Duncan playing in the paint more and Aldridge playing outside more, opposite of what we've seen, so far..Aldridge is more comfortable out there + helps spacing, and hopefully we won't have to see too much of Duncan's broken J..

[LittleCriminal]

Boban back peddling looks fukkin hilarious.. But dat block was da shit!

[hater]

Impressed with Boban.. thought he would be much worse

His mobility is impressive for his size. Not sure he can keep that up for more than 5 minutes

[nbaman99]

where's the fun in that? :lol

You are correct

[Spurtacular]

Stockton looking way better than McCallum.

That's cool; I didn't know if lil Davey Stockton was gonna land somewhere.

[.G.]

Bobinator looking aight

[Birn]

Everyone needs to keep in mind that there is zero opponent scouting and game planning in the preseason. Glorified pickup games.

[ceperez]

Holy shit boban is fucking gigantic

Guy is huge, makes whoever guarding look tiny.

[K...]

Kyle has impressed me. When he starts to get more comfortable out there he's going to go all SL MVP!!!
I am starting the chant: MVPKyle

Actually, can you imagine a mills, Manu, Kyle, Boris bench? Is going to happen, it's going to happen!

[TheDoctor]

Anderson looking great. I told you guys. Since Summer League been saying he's a solid NBA talent.

[NASpurs]

Boban probably needs CPR during timeouts.

[ChumpDumper]

Stockton looking way better than McCallum.

That's cool; I didn't know if lil Davey Stockton was gonna land somewhere.Your white fringe player tracker is on the fritz.

[apalisoc_9]

Hoping Duncan gets the post and Aldridge gets the shot. TD has an ugly jumper but he's also probably going to be defended by the worst defender...

[Spurtacular]

you seriously sound like a LOF

Sorry, I don't speak 13-year-old.

[ace3g]

Boban moving really well!!!

[TheGreatYacht]

Kiefer Sykes > Jimmer

[hater]

Boban 2,blocks :wow

[Slime Baller]

Boban is light on his feet for being a monster draped in human skin.

[ace3g]

Ray 3!!!

[TheDoctor]

Ray > JImmer

[SpursFan86]

Yep, it's not his game, at all, as I said earlier in the thread, but I'm assuming it's just to get him in basketball shape and it's easier for a team to run ISO when there's no chemistry..

I wouldn't say that. LMA was top 3 or 5 in terms of post-up possessions last year, and was in the top 20% or so in terms of efficiency...posting up is definitely a big part of his game.

The thing is, "good" post-up plays still aren't as efficient as other types of plays, so I'd rather not rely on them so much. If he has a mismatch then he should definitely get the ball in the post, but I'd like to see more pick-n-pops and spot-up jumpers. Like you said though, it's a little easier to iso in games like this where there isn't much chemistry.

[RD2191]

Mvmcallum

[SAGirl]

Love Boban, mobile good team out there. Cut Bonner get Butler!! Ray waking up

[hater]

Liking boban nigas

[Robz4000]

Sorry to ask again, but...score?

[DMC]

The normal talent will be the RS talent. These unknowns will remain unknowns. There might be one exception, I doubt it. All the premature spooter is unwarranted.

[ceperez]

Boban eating a lot of space.

The team on the court is going to win this game.

[SPURt]

Is Boban the largest Spur of all time?

[TheDoctor]

Ray > Jimmer

[ace3g]

damn Boban had stockton jr in the post, lol

[hater]

Ray :wow

[G-Dawgg]

Had to do a double take the first time I saw Marjanovic on the court wearing #40. I thought of Will Purdue. Lol

[Ditty]

Boban altering every shot around the rim. Love it!

[HarlemHeat37]

The giant is surprisingly mobile on defense, but slow as fuck with the ball in his hands:lol..

[Kawhitstorm]

The euro guy
Need to put Becky back in charge, the starters are running awful sets

[TheGreatYacht]

McCallum already has more 3PM than Joseph had in 4 years

[hater]

Holy shit boban brought us back :lol

[look_at_g_shred]

Mvmcallum

[hater]

Anderson is so smart.

[SpursFan86]

Sorry to ask again, but...score?

78-74 Kings, 9 minutes left in the 4th

[ceperez]

Simmons doing a lot of hustling... great game even though he hasn't scored.

[itzsoweezee]

Boban impressive on the defensive end. Kings were intimidated.

[NASpurs]

4 down for Butler :lol

[ace3g]

Ray for 3 again

[RD2191]

I take it all back Ray.:depressed

[Rito3d30]

That Ray Mc guy is good, always believed.

[ChumpDumper]

McCallum's got a very quick release. Looks like he's more like a Mills type than someone who can run the offense.

[look_at_g_shred]

McAlpha

[siraulo23]

Rasual butler posting up, wtf is goin on :lol

[Ditty]

I really like McCallum, so impressed with Anderson he looks so much faster and I think his defense is underrated imo.

[Mikeanaro]

:cry do it

[HarlemHeat37]

I wouldn't say that. LMA was top 3 or 5 in terms of post-up possessions last year, and was in the top 20% or so in terms of efficiency...posting up is definitely a big part of his game.

Like you said though, it's a little easier to iso in games like this where there isn't much chemistry.

I know he posts up and he does it well, but he's not Z-Bo, he's not going to pound you on every play..the jump shot gets him in rhythm for the post, as opposed to the other way around IMO..

[ElNono]

Smoke break for Boban

[Spurtacular]

McCallum playing better; missed the point blank lay-up though.

[SpurPadre]

We got this unless Marco decides to show off his balls.

[nbaman99]

Ray Mac

[NASpurs]

Ray >>>>>>> Cojo

[Kawhitstorm]

Summer league vets doing work along w/ their mentor Butler.

[TheDoctor]

Hilarious how scared Kings are shooting near the rim with Boban in there. Monster Up!

[SAGirl]

I wouldn't say that. LMA was top 3 or 5 in terms of post-up possessions last year, and was in the top 20% or so in terms of efficiency...posting up is definitely a big part of his game.

Someone said he needs CPR during the timeout :lol

[Tuddy]

Anderson looks like he'll be in rotation, Simmons is trying real hard on D

[Robz4000]

78-74 Kings, 9 minutes left in the 4th

Thanks bruv

[hater]

McAlpha taking a shit on his old team

[TheDoctor]

Boban "The Internet" Marjanovic

[Fireball]

Love How Boban basically screens half the Players on the Court on a fast break

[313]

Feel sorry for Jimmer, but at 6'3 he should really try to develop some playmaking PG skills if he wants to stick around the league

[Spurtacular]

Smoke break for Boban

Boban will do well when he's in the line-up with Timmy, imo.

[LittleCriminal]

Big Bastard Boban The Barbarian

[LittleCriminal]

Dam these refs... Game is rigged.

[Spurs9]

Man this team is gonna be ridiculous when they are all together in games :wow

[hater]

Damn poor patty. McAlpha looks legit

[TheGreatYacht]

Why did Ndoye get an invite over Lalane?

[weeks]

81-77 sacramento with 7:20 to play

[SAGirl]

Marco is a big time vet in the Kings TBH.

[Spurtacular]

McCallum just running the ball out of bounds for the hell of it. Stockton too quick for him to turn the corner.

[Chinook]

Why did Ndoye get an invite over Lalane?

Because they wanted to keep Cady's draft rights. Ndoye has been pretty freaking good today.

[Dex]

Why did Ndoye get an invite over Lalane?

Doesn't matter. No way either gets more than an invite to Austin.

[313]

Why did Ndoye get an invite over Lalane?Was also surprised to see him

[SAGirl]

Why did Ndoye get an invite over Lalane?
Bc Spurs want to develop Lalane this year in the dleague and bring him over next year. This year if he was here and got cut we'd loose his rights. Read that somewhere.

[TheDoctor]

Boban The Giant Marjínez

[Kawhitstorm]

Rasual butler posting up, wtf is goin on :lol

It's part of his repertoire, he has a nice fade-away & uses his length to shoot over defenders similar to Rudy Gay.
