Preseason: Spurs vs Hawks -- 10/14/15 -- NBATV -- 7 PM CST

[NASpurs]

Manu and Tim have been looking great this preseason. Hope they don't fall off a cliff later on the season.

[cd98]

Didn't see Jimmer on bench. Is he already in Austin?

[BillMc]

Liking more and more what I see from Anderson.

[Fireball]

That's a call that goes both ways. Hand ball rule not always called.

agree ... but one should not complain Atlanta announcers thought it was clean ...

[LakerHater]

The long summer and no injuries seems to have paid off for Manu

[TheGreatYacht]

Jimmer is a project. Butler is a player.

Considering Duncan's timeline, I know which one I'd pick.

He can REBOUND
This and this

[RayTdropout]

I like Butler guys he's a good vet that will hit some big shots

[SAGirl]

I do see Rasual making this team though. Has played in every game and part of what seems like a bench rotation if Diaw is out.

[Dex]

:lol Anderson making shots for the Hawks.

[TXstbobcat]

Slomo!!!!

[313]

Nice move by Anderson

[SPURt]

Butler ew

[LakerHater]

654457307963654144

[TheGreatYacht]

People questioning the Tiago for LMA trade :rollin

[Dex]

I'm calling it now...Butler is going to make this team.

[weeks]

goddamn manu, it's just the preseason
settle down.
pop , sit his ass

[Raven]

manu really has only one speed, full speed.

[ElNono]

was a good lead while we had it, tbh

[cd98]

Is the reason Jimmer not playing bc Spurs are waiting to play a team that has a player he can guard?

[313]

Butler is a shooter right?

[BillMc]

Butler going to steal Jimmer's spot.

[SPURt]

Nice, organist is playing the Boondocks theme

[313]

Is the reason Jimmer not playing bc Spurs are waiting to play a team that has a player he can guard?
He must be really bad at practice to not even get preseason burn

[NASpurs]

Butler is a shooter right?

He's cold as shit like LDN.

[313]

Nice, organist is playing the Boondocks themeI knew I recognized it :tu

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard and 1!!!!!!

[ElNono]

blackhole Kawhi and1

[Fireball]

West never missed so many shots against the Spurs

[cd98]

If Butler is 15, Spurs should just go with 14.

[313]

That one hand shove kinda pass Kawhi does is always so awkward looking

[weeks]

I was rewatching Game 7 at clippers the other day and i forgot just how much of a beast green was in that game defensively....he kept us in it whether he made his shots or not

[TXstbobcat]

Thomas!!!!

[ace3g]

DT in the post

[NASpurs]

Is Jimmer even on the bench? Is he the one passing out towels and sweeping the court during timeouts?

[BatManu20]

Great footwork and finish by Thomas there tbh.

[ace3g]

lol that shot went in

[weeks]

what a bullllshit shot by teague

[SAGirl]

What a circus shot by Teague...!!!

[urunobili]

TP in god mode?...

[NASpurs]

Tony looks a little faster to me than last year. Hopefully his speed returns as the season goes on.

[BillMc]

Does ANYONE see Thomas making the team?

[BatManu20]

Butler going to steal Jimmer's spot.

It's already his tbh.

[Chinook]

Thomas is a big, not a wing. It seems like his new-found athleticism doesn't give him positional flexibility. He's not a horrible big, though. Probably better than Bonner at this point.

[spursgu]

I still see Butler making the team.

[spursistan]

loving the outlook of Manu for next season, tbh..to think some were shrugging his possible retirement :lol

[LakerHater]

Butler going to steal Jimmer's spot.

Jimmer dont got a spot

[Chinook]

Does ANYONE see Thomas making the team?

He and Bonner are fighting for a spot. Both have been disappointing, but you can see some upside with Thomas.

[NASpurs]

Tavares vs Boban :lol

[Johnsyounger]

Here comes Bobby

[ace3g]

Boban vs Tavares

[SAGirl]

Tavares vs. Boban sighting!

[r0drig0lac]

giants duel

[spursgu]

Boban makes Tim look small.

[SAGirl]

OmG we need LMA. Everyone is clanking

[313]

loving the outlook of Manu for next season, tbh..to think some were shrugging his possible retirement :lol
Hindsight is 20/20

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!!!

[lilbthebasedgod]

nice sprint back from boban

[TXstbobcat]

Green and1!!!!

[NASpurs]

and 1 for LDN

[FkLA]

Is Rique currently the biggest joke in the NBA?

[weeks]

Have we entered some kind of parallel universe where Green can't make a 3 but always finishes inside?

[Shipupi]

Tavares looking much worse than boban to say the least

[Russ]

Boban intimidates Tavares into lane violation!

[random21]

Leonard with that post game work....Been preaching it...

[313]

Can't remember the last time I saw Green miss a free throw...or a lane violation

[SPURt]

Looks like our grape fruit sized pituitary tumor wielding big is better than theirs

[NASpurs]

Looks like our grape fruit sized pituitary tumor wielding big is better than theirs

:lol

[r0drig0lac]

lol bobi

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Parker. . . just stop

[Nathan89]

Looks like our grape fruit sized pituitary tumor wielding big is better than theirs:lmao

[Dex]

Tony looks quicker out there...but still can't make a shot to save his life.

[Perry Mason]

Parker. . . just stop

You say that but someone has to score. TP is cold, no doubt. But he's moving well which Spurfan should be happy to see.

[BillMc]

I don't want to pile on Boban but he hasn't shown me much in these first 3 games.

[SAGirl]

lol that was some ugly bball, lol
Reggie in, every time he's in we loose leads.

[ElNono]

those Boban turnovers have been killer.... GWS Boris

[FkLA]

What is Rique like 0 for 10?

[SuperCam]

3/10 Kiwi shitting the bed again :bang

[cd98]

Tony looks quicker out there...but still can't make a shot to save his life.

Yeah he looks great until the release. What happened to this guy?

[FkLA]

You say that but someone has to score. TP is cold, no doubt. But he's moving well which Spurfan should be happy to see.

[Mnky]

I don't want to pile on Boban but he hasn't shown me much in these first 3 games.

Neither has Parker or Kawhi for that matter.
Meh.

[Raven]

they are doubling bobo on the defensive rebound :lol

[ElNono]

terrible shot by Kawhi... and Boban fumbling again

[Russ]

Boban has got to get his hands up for those rebounds.

[SAGirl]

Someone has to tell Kawhi to lob that ball. Do not throw bounce passes to Boban! He's too used to Timmy's god blessed hands.

[Perry Mason]

Why does Leonard take those shots while double-teamed.

[313]

lol KawhIsos

[NASpurs]

When Pop starts mixing the starters with the bench, that's when everything turns to shit.

[TXstbobcat]

Mills!!!!!

[TheDoctor]

Ugly basketball on both sides of the court.

[cd98]

Patty gonna be huge this year on offense.

[SAGirl]

Reggie is horrendous, please Pop no more.

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard and1!!!!!

[Dex]

Patty still acting like he is a playa.

Nice move by KL.

[SPURt]

Korver should've been a Spur by now

[hater]

Kawhi sick move

[SAGirl]

When Pop starts mixing the starters with the bench, that's when everything turns to shit.
:lmao
Pretty much all game from the very start except the lineup with Manu/Mills/Anderson. That crew made it happen.

[TheDoctor]

Pop's trolling. Still playing Reggie Williams smdh.

[capek]

Not able to watch the game and don't feel like browsing through this thread. Can anyone tell me why LMA is not playing? Pop giving him the night off, I guess?

[NASpurs]

Bum James Harden for 3

[SPURt]

Looks like our grape fruit sized pituitary tumor wielding big is better than theirs

[SuperCam]

Kawhi led offense is a goddamn untenable disaster.

[FkLA]

Kawhi :worthy: :worthy:

[NASpurs]

FinalsMVP :wow

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!! Nice!!!

[weeks]

LEONARD!!

[r0drig0lac]

kawow

[TheDoctor]

KL2 beasting.

[ElNono]

great closing of the half

[313]

Williams knocking it down

[LakerHater]

Wow Kawhi!

[SAGirl]

Kawhi!!!

[Cloud786]

Is the reason Jimmer not playing bc Spurs are waiting to play a team that has a player he can guard?

They would be waiting until the end of time

[cd98]

Sorry Haters but Kawhi is going to be a stud this year.

[Darius Bieber]

Don't think Jimmer is on the bench

[Raven]

i'm really liking what i see from bobo, he is enormous and doesn't look stupid on the field. That is huge.

[hater]

Kawhi looking like an MVP tbh :tu

[TheDoctor]

Not able to watch the game and don't feel like browsing through this thread. Can anyone tell me why LMA is not playing? Pop giving him the night off, I guess?

Lower back spasms. Probably just rest tbh.

[Mnky]

Leonard learning how to jump off one foot...

Nba = f:lolcked

[Fireball]

Kawhi looking better at the end, but boy ... he jumped on his own short bus and takes every shot available.

[BillMc]

They would be waiting until the end of time
:lol

[NASpurs]

Gotta wonder if Jimmer is in San Antonio working on his game with Chip or someone.

[313]

Don't think Jimmer is on the bench
Weird. I mean I'm not surprised he didn't make the team, but weird there was no word on his status.

[Darius Bieber]

Weird. I mean I'm not surprised he didn't make the team, but weird there was no word on his status.

Especially since he went through media day and all that..

[SuperCam]

Kawhi with the Kobe mvp 5/14 shooting... meh

[313]

Kawhi looking better at the end, but boy ... he jumped on his own short bus and takes every shot available.
His idol is Kobe after all fwiw

[.G.]

Dominique Wilkins is an awful color analyst. "Kawhi Leonard...he's uh...he's uh well of a player"

[BillMc]

Weird. I mean I'm not surprised he didn't make the team, but weird there was no word on his status.

Wonder if he could be cut already, but the announcement not out yet?

[SAGirl]

Lower back spasms. Probably just rest tbh.
Or CIA Pop getting an extra look at Bonner.
:pop:

[TheDoctor]

Gotta wonder if Jimmer is in San Antonio working on his game with Chip or someone.

Most probably Spurs told him NBA canceled all their games till the season opener.

[RD2191]

The fuck, Kawhi building another house.

[FkLA]

Enrique Porker has made a whopping zero shots. I repeat zero.

[TheGreatYacht]

5/14, y'all hyping per par... :rollin

[313]

Dominique Wilkins is an awful color analyst. "Kawhi Leonard...he's uh...he's uh well of a player"
*Jeff brings the ball up*

"Jeff Teague is incredible"

:lol

[cd98]

They would be waiting until the end of time

I think that's the general idea. That said I'd like to see him play to know one way or the other. I guess not playing is sort of our answer. But he can't get in three minutes in a preseason game? Did he pull a Parker on a teammate? Or Pop's daughter?

[KL2]

MVP Leonard :wow

Marjanovic's defense looks pretty decent, his height is his defense. He can be a rim protector just by standing there, his length/size intimidate people and they adjust their shot against him. He could be a really good positional defender if he works hard, just learning to keep his hands up will make a huge difference, Splitter had that same problem his rookie year.

[BillMc]

*Jeff brings the ball up*

"Jeff Teague is incredible"

:lol:lol

[RD2191]

Enrique Porker has made a whopping zero shots. I repeat zero.

[313]

Wonder if he could be cut already, but the announcement not out yet?Seems the most likely


Or CIA Pop getting an extra look at Bonner.
:pop:
:pop: Bonnor starting at Center this season confirmed

[NASpurs]

Most probably Spurs told him NBA canceled all their games till the season opener.

:lol

Probably received a one-way ticket to Utah after the Kings game.

[capek]

Lower back spasms. Probably just rest tbh.

:bobo

[apalisoc_9]

Just got back from my shitty job....but SMDH, Why Is aldridge not playing? :bang

[LakerHater]

654465651835191296

[loveforthegame]

I like this more aggressive Leonard. He'll need to find a better balance for when to shoot or pass and that's part of the learning process. I'll take some wtf shots over parking himself in the corner and being a non factor.

[TXstbobcat]

Just got back from my shitty job....but SMDH, Why Is aldridge not playing? :bang

listed as being out due to back spasms.

[TheDoctor]

...Did he pull a Parker on a teammate? Or Pop's daughter?

[ElNono]

So if we win this game, it's LaCancer Aldrige, tbh?

I prefer Lamarcus Garbage.

[heyheymymy]

let's get some shit done here in the 2nd half

[ElNono]

Tim and Manu done for the night?

[NASpurs]

Seems like everyone has been shooting short... well everyone on the Spurs. Everytime you hear them yell "short".

[313]

Yikes, West looks bad...

[TheDoctor]

So if we win this game, it's LaCancer Aldrige, tbh?

Many factors involved. For example, Tony has bricked only 4 shots. That means, less def rebounds and transitions buckets for ATL.

[Ditty]

West is going to have that open shot all season like Aldridge if they knock it down at a high percentage we are going to be impossible to stop.

[FkLA]

I like this more aggressive Leonard. He'll need to find a better balance for when to shoot or pass and that's part of the learning process. I'll take some wtf shots over parking himself in the corner and being a non factor.

Yep. It's part of his evolution into an alpha. Plus him getting reps as a point forward gives us another option at PG for when Rique shits the bed.

[SuperCam]

Wtf is Kawobe Bryneord doing? 5/15 now smh....

[TXstbobcat]

West!!!!

[ElNono]

Pop starting the 2nd half with the scrubs and West

[SAGirl]

I like this more aggressive Leonard. He'll need to find a better balance for when to shoot or pass and that's part of the learning process. I'll take some wtf shots over parking himself in the corner and being a non factor.
Yea we can't afford him to be passive no more. We'll have to be prepared for the WTF shots, and then hope he sits down with coaches in video sessions and cleans it up.
Same for Anderson. He's tentative. F*ck that, but I guess they don't want to pressure the heck out of him yet. Though I do think we'll see Anderson at the 3 and 4, too many old dudes at the 4 that will get hurt or have sore backs or whatever. Feel like we might see more of Boban and Anderson combos out there the way this early season is starting with the bigs.

[TheGreatYacht]

Pop setting up MVPARKER for failure.. Wtf, West is his only weapon and he's cold tonight

[cd98]

Jimmer Sighting by Duncan on the floor. Not enough seats.

[loveforthegame]

Parker. :lol

[Texas_Ranger]

Parker is finished

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!

[313]

Well he's def getting touches this year. Would like to see more of what he can do in the pnr.

[Mikeanaro]

Praying for the Porker injury!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. :tu

[Ditty]

Kawhi is killing it!

Parker needs to settle down a bit.

[cd98]

Jimmer in.

Tony Parker looks like shit. On the other hand, MVPwhi is balling.

[NASpurs]

JIMMER SIGHTING

I don't get it either.

[NASpurs]

Finals MVP :wow

[Kool Bob Love]

No pressure in the preseason so I'm not suprise Kawhi is going off. Put him on the line late in the game or Matt Barnes on em.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard beasting. Stay aggressive and work through the kinks.

[TheGreatYacht]

Great point. Hope Rasual gets those critical minutes this year

[TheDoctor]

Kawhi stat line at the moment:

20pts - 8rebs - 2 assts - 1stl

[SpursIndonesia]

Watching Bummer Brickette got stuck by the pick is just such an eye sore. :rolleyes

[Mikeanaro]

HATE YOU GOLDEN GOD! :cry

[FkLA]

Interesting, the guy next to Pop used to be the Spurs video coordinator like 5 years ago... he then went to Miami and now he's back with the Spurs?

Wasn't he the Magic interim HC last season? But yeah he does have Spurs ties.

[ace3g]

damn, wanted that Boban jumper to fall

[FkLA]

Boban's shot looks better than Rique's. He let that go so naturally. Srs.

[NASpurs]

Coach Bud putting in the starters, must really want this game :lol

[ElNono]

Wasn't he the Magic interim HC last season? But yeah he does have Spurs ties.

Could be... I recall him being with Spo and Miami when they won...

Good o-reb and mid range jumper, Jimmer.

[313]

Jimmer!11! :wow

[texbound]

This current Spurs line-up could be the slowest 5 in NBA history and that's comparing it to Bird, Mchale, Ainge, Parrish, Johnson team.

He was never with Miami. Since 2012 was working with the Magic and coached them the last 30 games last year.

[TheDoctor]

-5
?

All starters are in negative +/-. Just the result of Pop mixing starters with scrubs.

[SPURt]

At what point did we turn onto desperation lane in chuck city? Gonna be an ugly 4th

I hope none of this players will get more than 5 minutes this year. And cut Jimmer and Thomas already.
