Anyone see/read any post Celtics game from Pop? We going to have TD and Manu active?

I still remember last year's embarrassment in New York. Hopefully the guys can pick up the slack and win this one.

661187815640797184

Knicks writers are cocky about their recent dominance.:lol

[apalisoc_9]

661187815640797184

lol..funny cause NY has been so shitty and 6 games would be the last three years where the spurs have been a top 1-2 team in the west.

Wouldn't surprise me if they lose though..

Maybe the guys party too much when they go to NY..

[spursistan]

Minutes were reasonable for the big guns last night, maybe tad more for Manu, but i think it is way too early to DNP-rest them now..Knicks are not Philly and with the way Tony looks, West lost and Aldridge not fully in free flow within the system; i would go in with all our horses available...

[SpursFan86]

A little extra motivation.

I wonder who the current record holder is...Kobe? Maybe Karl Malone?

[BillMc]

I don't think the media could resist mentioning Kobe's name if it were him. I would guess it might be Stockton or Malone. Or possibly Kareem even though he started out with the Bucks.

A team with Phil Jackson, Derek Fisher and Sasha Vujacic..ugh:(

True, the media would probably hype up the Duncan vs. Kobe aspect. Plus, he's missed quite a few games over his career due to injuries, and the Lakers have had a few down years. I'd have to imagine Duncan is already ahead of him.

Thinking about it more, it's almost surely Malone. He was an ironman in Utah. He played there for 18 seasons and only missed 10 games in that span, which is absolutely insane.

[BatManu20]

A team with Phil Jackson, Derek Fisher and Sasha Vujacic..ugh:(

The faggotry is overwhelming, indeed. All the more reason to beat them.

[I. Hustle]

661197611110633472

Great. Now Pop is going to rest him for the rest of the season. The way he did with Bruce when he was going to get that streak of games.

[BatManu20]

Hopefully Calderon plays 20+ minutes:lol..

Need Tony to show up today. If he can't play well against the Knicks, he needs to retire tbh.

Knicks also this season brought back their old court design from the mid-90's. Looks good tbh. Brings back nostalgic memories of all those Knicks vs Pacers & Knicks vs Bulls match ups.

I don't get it, first you niggas complain about him hero balling (which he does efficiently, and Spurs have won 70% of their games when he shoots 20FGA+) y'all want him to play like Prigioni. Then when he does, y'all complain about him not doing enough scoring

[Lostwingman]

I just want to watch two funky new Euros playing on the court. Now if only Pop would let Boban loose.

[ElNono]

Just asked Mike Monroe if the Spurs will sit anybody:

"I will be very surprised if any of the Big 3 sit tonight. Hey, yesterday was an afternoon game"

Eh, even with that Manu has gotten a fair amount of burn already 3 games into the season. Plus sitting him would give Pop a chance to give Simmons some burn; unlike the past few seasons Pop has a lot of new toys to play with and prolly wants to see what he can do with some of them.

[Budkin]

I still remember last year's embarrassment in New York. Hopefully the guys can pick up the slack and win this one.

That game alone was enough to tell me the Spurs had no interest in repeating. I hope they beat the Knicks by 40 tonight.

I'm a jelly fish. I'll be passing through Penn soon. Stubhub prices are $85 at the absolute cheapest, for the horrendously awful upper level corner seats. I'm not that poor, but it's hard to get over the mental hurdle of having paid $40 for 15th row seats towards the end of last season when the Knicks were just as god-awful but people didn’t have any hope.

I know, that's why I skip the MSG every year.... But with the big 3 almost retired, decided to take the plunge this time...

[NameLess Scrub]

Don't know what all have said, but I hope they can pull it off and still rest Manu and Timmy, maybe Tony too.

Give West and Boban some burn..

[BillMc]

If anyone is really, really bored, wants to kill time before the game, and you like short stories with a historical bent, I just had a work of flash fiction (less than a thousand words) published last Friday in a well-known magazine.

Welcome to my hell. Trying to see the Spurs in L.A. is a nightmare because Lakers games are still expensive despite the team's trash status for the last five years and Blake Griffin/Chris Paul/Jordan command top dollar for Clippers games.

One of the things that I enjoy about living in Charlotte is how cheap Hornet tickets are. I remember last year for a spurs game being able to sit two rows behind court side just for 140 bucks.

Good. I want him to get lots of rest. I am a proponent of the young/new guys getting the big three a LOT of rest. But, it's early in the season. Manu is fresh, and a stud. We need him early. Gives the young guns time to get coached up, and the team to gel more and more before we put Manu in cryo.

More of our "depth" issues comes from chemistry(West for backup big, Butler for backup wing) and a lack of C really.

To be fair though, our 9th-10th men can play, its just the regulars are not clicking so you can't afford to play those guys at this point. I would not expect this to continue.

Parker keeping the team in it so far, tbh.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

The rims are ridiculously unforgiving.
According to a stat I had in 2003, the MSG Knicks rim circumference were the second smallest in the NBA (by millimeters, but still) only larger than the Phillips Arena Atlanta ones. At the time, the (SBC) Center rims were in the smallest 5, but they widened them a little bit sometime in 2005.

[100%duncan]

No I don't. I am hoping Ray turns out well enough for us, but Pop has him doghoused. lol

TP-Mills are fine imho as long as Parker doesn't force things. We overrate the 3 guard rotation we had last year but when it mattered, it wasn't really used. And it didnt matter much in 2014 either.

[Fireball]

Give Porzingis a few years. He's going to be a taller, more athletic Dirk.

but will he be better than Dirk?

[TXstbobcat]

Give Porzingis a few years. He's going to be a taller, more athletic Dirk.

That will be scary for the league.

[100%duncan]

LMA has nothing so far

[loveforthegame]

Cold af.

[SAGirl]

Knicks are better thsi year. So obvious they tanked on purpose.

[100%duncan]

Finally

[Darius McCrary]

LMA based god

[SAGirl]

Aldridge Slam

[100%duncan]

Goddamn what happened to LMA's shot

[milkyway21]

that's it ..dunk it

[TXstbobcat]

LMA slam!!!!!!

[Splits]

LMA yet to have a good start to a game IIRC

[Cry Havoc]

Damn, we missed so many open looks. We could easily have 30 points right now.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Lamarcus 1/6. Bill Land just affirmed Knicks still have one of the tightest rims in the league.

[Slime Baller]

Shooting is in the toilet and it's close. I'll allow it.

[NASpurs]

LMA has been sleepwalking to start these games.

[Uriel]

Aldridge missing left and right.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

what :lol
just LOOK at the difference between the home Spurs rims in the 2003 Finals and say, the 2007 Finals. It's blatantly obvious

[Cry Havoc]

1st quarter bright spots:

Parker
....

1st quarter bads

Defensive rotations
D$nny Gr$$n
Aldridge for not asserting himself more
Leonard should be dominating these scrubs

[BatManu20]

Once Aldridge's jumpers start falling, this game should bust wide open.

[Dex]

That rim looks stiff as shit. Can't count how many shots have bounced hard off the back rim.

Fortunately, I'll take that over a bunch of short shots on the B2B.

[100%duncan]

Shooting is in the toilet and it's close. I'll allow it.

Yeah, against the Knicks.

[Brian Windhorst]

LMA is a player that needs to work himself into a rhythm early. He will - always - struggle like this in the first half if he isn't fed early in the game. Hope Pop will realize this soon.

[BatManu20]

Is this permanent or just really a throwback BatManu20 (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=33095)

It's permanent.

tony was ok in 2014... last year he was bad and it did matter for some games. Could have made a heck of a ton of difference in the Clipper seriers, which is why I said we probably are not the deepest team with our questionable guard.

[Darius McCrary]

el nono just texted me he said someone made him get up to get to their seat and he farted on accident

[Robz4000]

Can't really blame all this on missing shots. Knicks are playing some great D while missing some good looks on the other end as well. This could easily be a 10-point hole for the Spurs.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

That's how ass Danny has been so far. Terrible on D and O. Pop doesn't wanna play Manu much on the b2b.
Rasual Butler? At least he can shoot and play D

[SuperCam]

MVParker only reason we aren't getting blown out, tbh...

[Fireball]

that Knicks dancer performance was the best thing so far ...

[Cry Havoc]

2nd quarter already >>>>>> the 1st

[SAGirl]

Agree with you, its possibly a factor of sizing up what they are throwing at him and so forth. He needs to get it going early.

[urunobili]

Awful start. This time not even the D is bright

[TXstbobcat]

Verde!!!!!!

[BillMc]

but will he be better than Dirk?

Well, the money says go with the HOFer, of course. But I'll say he COULD become as good or even better than Dirk. But, of course, the road is littered with those with potential. But he's got the right attitude and physical abilities. If only the stupidity of the Knicks doesn't ruin him! :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Manu not being able to dunk. :lol

[loveforthegame]

O'Quinn going to be that guy.

[Cry Havoc]

Good D by LMA, better O by Quinn.

[TXstbobcat]

Manu!!!!!

[Russ]

TP again, been a bright spot for us. The idiot crew on suicide watch.

Reminds me of an old Dylan song:

At midnight all the agents and the superhuman crew

Come out and round up everyone that knows more than they do . . .

[100%duncan]

Wtf is manu doing :lol

[loveforthegame]

Aldridge finally.

[100%duncan]

SMDH cant believe he missed the layup

[UNT Eagles 2016]

how do those big fucking Knick stiff scrubs keep making those bullshit jumpers?
