:lol

[DMC]

Why is the dead guy never an asshole? Why was he always one of the good ones?

[steeledl]

We need to play Parker more minutes and Mills less if we want to win this game. Offense goes to shit w/o him. Leonard and LMAlpha look amazing. Duncans help defense is still GOAT. Going to be a good year.

[TheGreatYacht]

Tbh I'd rather have Parker out there than Mills. Mills is just a bad PG imo. He's a good shooter but not a great playmaker.
:wow

[pgardn]

Mills really is a shooting guard, but can run the point if need be.


Not a good outlook for 82 games and then the playoffs.
He ain't a point. Mills is great at the 2 with Ginobili. But He just ain't a pg.

[Raven]

Tbh I'd rather have Parker out there than Mills. Mills is just a bad PG imo. He's a good shooter but not a great playmaker.
he's simply not a pg, it's that simple.

[sasaint]

Aldridge and Kawhi will continue to dominate touches on offense with the way things are going. Having a bail out shooter is a good thing with ball dominate players who can pass.

Good point.

[100%duncan]

Hope they can get LMA more touches.

[SAGirl]

Ugh, without that WB triple felt like the Spurs were going to close the half great.
Not much you can do about a very contested end of the shot clock 3 heave. Westbrook is on another level since last season.

[BillMc]

Becky's lost weight.

[DMC]

Hope they can get LMA more touches.
I think they will get him more involved however they can't sacrifice games to do so. He will find his position in there and they will build it in.

[RD2191]

Check out NBA all access on twitter. Dude is homies with that faggit Joe. Niggas is salty as hell about Kawhi.

[DarrinS]

Right. Spurs do not have anybody on the roster to be effective PG against OKC.

Just throw Boris, Manu, or KA out there.

[DPG21920]

Not much you can do about a very contested end of the shot clock 3 heave. Westbrook is on another level since last season.

Oh I know. Wasn't lamenting the defense, just bad luck.

[pgardn]

Duncan can fit in with any group. He is simply amazing.

[DPG21920]

I think they will get him more involved however they can't sacrifice games to do so. He will find his position in there and they will build it in.

Agreed - the looks he has gotten were all of the highest quality. Quite ridiculous actually. If you can manufacture more of the same, great, if not, he's still helping so much on offense.

[Ron Swanson]

Just send Udoka out there to beat the shit out of WB.

[Arcadian]

Why is the dead guy never an asshole? Why was he always one of the good ones?

It does happen, but usually people just won't say anything about them, or they'll keep it really brief. If people don't have much to say about a dead person, they were probably an asshole.

[spurraider21]

Kawhi at his best when going to the basket per par

[DMC]

bam

[TXstbobcat]

LMA!!!!!

[100%duncan]

LMA

[TheGreatYacht]

Check out NBA all access on twitter. Dude is homies with that faggit Joe. Niggas is salty as hell about Kawhi.
They're the same person. Only cool NBA fan boy account is RTNBA

[steeledl]

LMA cant be guarded 1-1

[RD2191]

LMA

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!!

[RD2191]

Timmy!

[Ron Swanson]

Timmy!

[spurraider21]

Tbh I'd rather have Parker out there than Mills. Mills is just a bad PG imo. He's a good shooter but not a great playmaker.
:lmao faggot playerfan

[DPG21920]

I don't agree that TP's offense looked bad at all. He looked fine and actually looked great with the bench unit.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Timmy or LMA in the post?

[BanditHiro]

fucking Enrique

[Kawhitstorm]

Porker :lmao

[SAGirl]

Tony silly fouls

[RD2191]

Come on refs

[SpursIndonesia]

Damn, Thunderefs 1

[100%duncan]

I think they will get him more involved however they can't sacrifice games to do so. He will find his position in there and they will build it in.

Certainly

[sasaint]

Didn't notice it in preseason but Tim looks really svelte.

[Brazil]

:lol pop should try something else than tp defending Westbrook tbh.. That's awful

[100%duncan]

THUNDEREFS SMH

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Man Adams is one ugly bugger.

[RD2191]

Oh come on man

[pgardn]

Timmy or LMA in the post?

Both.

Alternate at the elbow and down.
LMA to set the screens though. He has to play Tiagos role here.

[100%duncan]

Holy fuck Kawhi murdering KD :lol

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard and 1!!!!!!!!!

[ElNono]

damn kiwi

[Southwest Texas Fan]

And 1!!!!!

[RD2191]

And 1!!!

[DPG21920]

Kevin Durlolant :lol

[DMC]

pops system popping zits

[sasaint]

Kawhi owning Durant on O.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Kawhi killing KD

[DPG21920]

Get a stop and push the lead.

[Uriel]

KIWI

[hooperflash]

Kawhi: "Role player?"

[RD2191]

"Creating contact" what WB does on every and 1.

[DPG21920]

Great, great play by Westbrook there.

[theman21]

It really does need to be said that Spurs have had a tough time playing in OKC, so with all things considered, not a bad half.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!!!!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Timmy still making things happen.

[TheDoctor]

Kawhi's guarding THREE players at the same time.

[DPG21920]

Dayum, WB is just a ridic athlete.

[DMC]

Tony looks like shit

[100%duncan]

You gotta admire Westbrook's aggression though chucker or not.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Green has to hit that

[Ron Swanson]

Green is off tonight

[RD2191]

Green needs to get going!

[theman21]

Dayum, WB is just a ridic athlete.

Yeh I mean Kawhi could guard him but then Durant would go off.

[100%duncan]

Danny's shooting ugh

[ElNono]

gotta make it danny

[Raven]

lol shooting foul

[unleashbaynes]

Durant flop

[SpursIndonesia]

Shitty sequence for the Spurs ....

[SAGirl]

Danny is cold again?

[Kawhitstorm]

The backcourt (Porker/Danny) wetting the bed while getting butt fucked by Westbrook

[Southwest Texas Fan]

If Green gets going it's over.

[Ron Swanson]

Please don't talk about how Rick Barnes wasted all of that talent at UT.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

And the steal!

[sasaint]

Green needs to get going!

Yeah with Danny on, we would have a much bigger lead.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Damn it.

[RD2191]

Fuck. Thunder run coming.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Man, come on Spurs pick it up, way too sloppy out there.

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Spurs overpaid on DG.

[Texas_Ranger]

Aldridge get fucking closer.

[unleashbaynes]

Abaka sure is fagging it up.

[Robz4000]

Abaka killing the Spurs, per par.

[DMC]

This is OKC, again

[Kawhitstorm]

Kawhi has a bad habit of getting the ball poked after a steal.

[SAGirl]

Pop looking upset lol

[Mikeanaro]

Lol Spurs playing like shiet right now.

[100%duncan]

Unlucky with shots, Aldridge in the paint and a follow up miss, DG open 3, Kawhi in and out.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Not a good time to crap the bed.

[TheGreatYacht]

Thunderefs got these fuckers going with the free throws

[RD2191]

We're a good team but when Danny is hitting we're a great team. Let's go Danny!

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Spurs overpaid on DG.
Not as long as his D stays the same and his shot stays 40+

[KL2]

Parker scrubbing it up this game, so bad.

[100%duncan]

Spurs overpaid on DG.

Holy fuck there are still people like you :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Aldridge get fucking closer.

I have been saying LMA blows 50% of those up & unders b/c he shoots them from his tipy toes. He needs to bank it in rather than finger rolling it.

[ElNono]

even if we lose this game, I'm pleased, tbh... I thought this was going to be a much worse trainwreck

[BillMc]

Man I wish Danny hadn't wasted that "in the zone" day on the preseason. :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Get Danny out. He left it all in that Preseason game

[100%duncan]

even if we lose this game, I'm pleased, tbh... I thought this was going to be a much worse trainwreck

man up faggot

[RD2191]

Fuck that, we better win this shit.

[spursgu]

even if we lose this game, I'm pleased, tbh... I thought this was going to be a much worse trainwreck

Agreed. No panic at all

[Kawhitstorm]

LoL @ posting up Tim on Adams w/ Porker on the strong side...WTF was that Pop

[ElNono]

[DMC]

fat parker dishing pastries

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Where's Manu?

[KL2]

Porker weighing us down

[Kawhitstorm]

:lmaoPorker:lmao

[milkyway21]

whoa Westbrook stealing the limelight again from the returning now healthy Durant :D

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!

[RD2191]

Kawhi man up son. Can't disappear in 2nd halfs.

[ElNono]

nice TP!

[Gametight]

We start making our shots we'll be fine..just need to slow Okc down and slow down there fast breaks off the rebounds.

[313]

First jumper good :tu

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Manu!

[Canyonero]

MANU

[TXstbobcat]

[DMC]

[RD2191]

[Mikeanaro]

At one moment Ive heard Tabaka.

[Ron Swanson]

Thunderefs

[ElNono]

fuck OKC in the bonus early? FT parade coming up

[Raven]

okafor with 20 points :lol (and 7 TO)

[DMC]

chimpy still celebrating his dunk

[Cry Havoc]

Russell Westbrook is such a bitch.

[Cry Havoc]

Refs have been good to this point. Look like that's over.

[BillMc]

Thunderefs make their first apperance of the season.

[RD2191]

Diaw!

[TXstbobcat]

Bobo!!!!

[Ron Swanson]

Morrow can't guard Bobo down low

[Cry Havoc]

chimpy still celebrating his dunk

I'm so happy that dude will never win the title as a top 3 player on his team. He's too much of a bitch pussy to ever be anything great.

[DMC]

manu was on his ass

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Diaw recognizing the mismatch.

[100%duncan]

I've been liking LMA's defense this game. Solid.

[RD2191]

Fuck. We need to get the 3 going.

[100%duncan]

West needs to shoot that

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!!!

[100%duncan]

Manu to Kiwi :worthy:

[loveforthegame]

Nice pass and finish.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Nice play Kawhi.

[Mikeanaro]

West and Diaw the Chubby Brothers.

[Kawhitstorm]

D-West w/ that stupid pump fake

[TXstbobcat]

Bobo!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Ron Swanson]

Bobo!

[ElNono]

great run here

[100%duncan]

Did Bobo float that? :lol

[Southwest Texas Fan]

WTF, that was a foul!

[boutons_deux]

westchimp is SUCH an unpleasant fellow

[loveforthegame]

Bobo. How can you not love him.

[RD2191]

Great job, bench.

[TXstbobcat]

Nice run by the bench!!!!

[r0drig0lac]

Diaw!

[Russ]

Spurs gonna tease me with this game . . .

[100%duncan]

That was actually a hard finish by Bobo :lol

[TheDoctor]

Flex that shit.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Close these clowns.

[Mikeanaro]

Team is so much better without MVPorker, you see?

[Brian Windhorst]

:bobo

[Kawhitstorm]

What a difference w/ Manu/Diaw in the game rather than Danny/Porker

[jermaine]

For all those Thunder Dicc Ryder's.... Lmbo

[DarrinS]

Like I said, throw Manu and Boris out there.

[BillMc]

Seriously thinking about naming my next dog Boris.

[313]

Difference between first and second half? Capitalizing on thunder turnovers

[DMC]

Bobo. How can you not love him.
It was 200 years ago today that Beethoven wrote concerto in D minor which ushered in the age of Romanticism. When I look at Boris Diaw I think of Beethoven.

[Uriel]

:lmao "Experts" picking OKC to win the title because of their preseason performance
:lmao Downplaying the Spurs even though they added Aldridge and West
:lmao NBA is FUCKED

[SAGirl]

okafor with 20 points :lol (and 7 TO)
has no help though. He'll get better.

[DarrinS]

Seriously thinking about naming my next dog Boris.

Your dog a great passer?

[hater]

Danny Green looks really bad out there. Out of place.

[jermaine]

How can you not love Kawhi

[KL2]

The defense is pretty solid with MVP Leonard out there, Mills hustles and West-Manu are both above average defenders. It'll do great against small ball units like GS's

[Robz4000]

Bobo looks great tbh.

[313]

has no help though. He'll get better.I think he was laughing at the lakers for passing on him

[100%duncan]

Nice oful

[BillMc]

It was 200 years ago today that Beethoven wrote concerto in D minor which ushered in the age of Romanticism. When I look at Boris Diaw I think of Beethoven.

ST going classical. I like it. :bobo

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Kawhi with 19 points.

[sasaint]

Like I said, throw Manu and Boris out there.

Unless Tony adjusts his game we will see them a lot. Good call.

[BillMc]

Your dog a great passer?

He'll have to be. :lol

[313]

Danny Green looks really bad out there. Out of place.
Has he even attempted a 3? kent thinks he's a slasher

[TXstbobcat]

Mills33333333

[100%duncan]

Patty finally

[sasaint]

PATTY!

[TheDoctor]

PATTY!

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Did Bobo lose weight? He looks lighter.

[TXstbobcat]

Manu!!!!!!

[TheDoctor]

MANU'S BALLING

[RD2191]

Manu

[milkyway21]

Manu & Boris :tu

[313]

Manuuu

[Beaverfuzz]

Gotta close out quarters better, OKC is ripe for the picking.

[RD2191]

Fuck!

[SAGirl]

2nd unit getting killed on D and its not slow-mo its Boris-West lack of rim protection. that is not going to work well TBH. Bring on Boban

[Ron Swanson]

Morrow acting like he won the Finals

[TXstbobcat]

West!!!!!!!

[DPG21920]

Morrow is the guy you don't leave no matter what. Let the other guy have the open look instead.

[sasaint]

DWest!

[ace3g]

DWest!!!

[TXstbobcat]

West!!

[milkyway21]

Has he even attempted a 3? kent thinks he's a slasher

in the 1st qtr..helped in rbds

[SAGirl]

Dont like the Diaw-WEst pairing I am calling it.

[Beaverfuzz]

David F'N West closes out the quarters. Nice work boys!

[100%duncan]

What a horrible end

[ElNono]

Bobo's defense during this stretch was so terrible :lol

[spursistan]

West murdering Ennnes Kanter :lol

[loveforthegame]

West bullying guys. Love it. :lol

[RD2191]

Let's blow this shit open!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs keep letting the Thunder hang around very frustrating. Oh well, hopefully they can pull away in the fourth as a win on opening night in OKC would be amazing

[Brian Windhorst]

Open season at the rim when West/Diaw are paired tbh
But that offense...

[313]

Manu and West getting some chemistry :tu

[DMC]

Manu would have been a hell of a quarterback.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Well even if the bench without Kawhi or Aldridge looks bad, they have enough talent to score well enough.

[Kawhitstorm]

West:lol

[loveforthegame]

Going to be a long 4th.

[Blizzardwizard]

Porous defense, can't let it turn into a shootout. No chance of winning that way.

[SPURt]

Welcome to the Spurs D West

[Beaverfuzz]

Not a good outlook for 82 games and then the playoffs.
He ain't a point. Mills is great at the 2 with Ginobili. But He just ain't a pg.

Correct, but he can play it if need be. Sometimes that turns into Westchimp mode aka chuker.

[unleashbaynes]

I love west pushing kanter at the end there. Vet move.

[ElNono]

The P&R defense there with Patty/Bobo will probably be replayed by Pop 50 times tomorrow...

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Manu making things happen.

[hater]

let's get this shit to 50 pages

[hater]

fuck

[RD2191]

Better get a good lead if we want to win. Refs usually win close ones for OKC.

[hater]

the

[hater]

Meth

[100%duncan]

Good quarter then we fucked up in the end. Bright side is West finally got something going.

[313]

Bobo's defense during this stretch was so terrible :lol
Lovable guy :lol

[DarrinS]

This is going to be a fun season. Loving it.

[DMC]

Once people get their rotations down people know where they're supposed to be, those holes in the defense will close up. Shooter is going that have a hell of a time getting a ball up over those guys.

[Kawhitstorm]

It's the 4th quarter.....time to put Danny on Westbrook.

[milkyway21]

Spurs 2nd unit looks good. :hungry:

[Ice009]

Dont like the Diaw-WEst pairing I am calling it.

lol. It's still ten times better than the turd towers. Bonner and Blair.

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

Put Diaw at 3, Boban at 5

[TheDoctor]

Morrow acting like he won the Finals

Ibaka has been acting like that since his 1st basket. I don't get it.

[Brian Windhorst]

:lol Rockets
:lol Grizzlies

[Killakobe81]

Kiwi taking a wet shit on his doubters. with no Steph playing tonight ... Kiwi looks like best player on NBALP if he can score like this with dat defense ...fuck!!!

[hater]

is Green going to make a 3?

wtf

scrubbing it

[SpursIndonesia]

It's the 4th quarter.....time to put Danny on Westbrook.

AMEN !!!

[vander]

lol. It's still ten times better than the turd towers. Bonner and Blair.

your memory is inaccurate

[DPG21920]

We have tremendous size and length. Lots of deflections and tall arms. Just have to be more focused and crisp.
