Spurs @ Blazers --Wednesday (11/11) - 9:30pm CST

[spurraider21]

lol he's back in the game

[sasaint]

Several long rebounds hurt this quarter.

[SoonerSpur512]

He's fine

That dunk was fucking awesome now

[loveforthegame]

Leonard looks ok.

[pgardn]

And this is why amused day sleeper is a giant festering worthless piece of selfish shit that should be killed at knife point

Wow...

[Slime Baller]

Even just whacking the ulner nerve can be a real sonofabitch. It hurts like hell and makes your hand immediately go numb.

With him shaking his hand like that, I bet he hit the ulner HARD. It's not usually anything other than a REALLY bad case of funny bone pain essentially.

[ace3g]

Diaw to LA

[spurraider21]

3 assists, must be a career high :worthy:

[atoyotagaspedal]

Man that was close, So many dreams die in portland

Nice Kawhi, that was some Pippen-esque layout

[SAGirl]

Good to see Kawhi well.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Spurs in the penalty again with 7 minutes to play, UGH



LMA, nice headfake.

[DPG21920]

Tim/Kawhi/LMA is just beast

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Show some respect, been here over 11+ years

And Kawhi is back!

I've been here before you and you seriously deserve to die by suffocation via Satan's cock

[Raven]

nice kawhi

Is there a fight behind the Spurs bench? :lol

[urunobili]

This unit.... <3

[NASpurs]

3 assists, must be a career high :worthy:

Rent free :lol

[hitmanyr2k]

Nice Kawhi, that was some Pippen-esque layout

That was Pippen on Charles Smith-esque :lol Scottie screwed up his wrist on the fall from that dunk.

[Raven]

we have quietly moved on from the big three tbh. they are really just very valuable role players.

[ducks]

The numbers don't say it, but it feels like the Spurs are getting killed by Blazers' effort to offensive boards and the second chance points they get off of those boards.

Yes

[NASpurs]

I've been here before you and you seriously deserve to die by suffocation via Satan's cock

I saaaaaaaaaaaaid

[Amuseddaysleeper]

And I joined 2004, you're 2006.

Now fetch my luggage

[SAGirl]

Diaw to LA
What a pass that was. I love Boris!

[sasaint]

Good to see Kawhi well.

Early understatement of the year candidate. :lol

[Ice009]

2nd consecutive game where Patty gives good defensive minutes, tbh..hopefully he keeps it up, keep flopping..

I thought Patty improved his defense toward the end of 2014 season/playoffs. His defensive improvement was the area I was worried about most when he missed the start of last season. I thought him being out could seriously affect the progress I thought he was making on that end of the court. I really think if he was able to play at the start of last season, he would have taken his game to another level on both offense and defense. Hopefully, this season he can go ahead with that continuation from the 2014 finals and build on it.

[kaji157]

Danny is 3-4 from three.

Will Pop dare sit tony and let us finish with Manu and Green as guard?

[Russo21]

hopefully just a bone bruise to his elbow, doesn't look like anything else but geez it could have been a lot worse

[UNT Eagles 2016]

We're up 10, but it doesn't feel like a comfortable lead. Blazers can get back in this in an instant, the rebounding is just killing us tonight.

[pgardn]

I've been here before you and you seriously deserve to die by suffocation via Satan's cock

:lol i like kawhi though.. just love rustling the fanboys

[SpurPadre]

That's really awesome, getting to chat with him. I myself am atheist, so I'm with you there. It's ballsy of him.

Being a lifelong Spurs fan in California, since 1989 and due to The Admiral, I always make sure to catch as many games as I can when they visit California and seize the opportunity to talk to a Spurs player. Here's to the Spurs and to Atheism!!! :bobo

[BatManu20]

Woof.

664679071222259712

[Kawhitstorm]

Aldridge reminds me a lot of Boozer in that he goes up soft and rarely gets the three point play.

That's b/c he is expecting contact instead of just powering up & taking the hit.

[ace3g]

Diaw 2.0

[RD2191]

Okay enough toying with these guys....Bobo!!

I've yet to see them on their visits to CA - and I get even more opportunities than most, since they have to visit to play the Clips and the Lakers. Tickets at Staples are just so expensive.

[playbonner15]

When did Gerald Henderson become this good of a shooter / attacker? Did he sell his soul to become efficient?

Thankful for LMAlpha. Henderson pulling a Matt Barnes..

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Defense is still godawful :bang all game

Portland's all fun and streaky but they're McCollum and Lillard and literally nothing else.

[playbonner15]

Bobo to LMA :bobo

[BatManu20]

McCollum shitting all over us

[TheGreatYacht]

McCollum :rollin

[Mnky]

French players have something in common.
Diaw makes things easy on offense for the spurs.
Parker makes things easy on offense for the blazers.

[AFMadison]

Kawhi needs to stop being hesitant with those passes

[UNT Eagles 2016]

fucking scrubs are going to get to 100 :bang a pretty piss poor 48 minutes of defense, and the game's still not over yet... 7 point lead.

[Spurtacular]

When I heard McCallum, I was like, crap! Turns out it's Portland's MocCollum.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

As someone who loves defense that's still one of my all-time favorite NBA Finals. I'm sure Game 5 and Game 7 made Spurs fans age 10 years :lol

Same here! Been a fan since the mid 90's but Game 5 is probably my all time favorite Spurs game. Robert Horry in that second half and OT was just mesmerizing.

[RD2191]

parker getting raped on D

Per usual.

[spurraider21]

nigga im dissapointed in you
7 points 5 assists 0 turnovers on 3-6 shooting... what's the problem?

[SAGirl]

i want to win this game, but gosh I like Mccollum, what a competitor he is. This guy is an assassin, better than Lillard. I don't really like Lillard that much.

[FkLA]

:lmao Enrique getting abused

[Kawhitstorm]

Diaw caught Henderson playing a piggyback defense:lol

[HarlemHeat37]

Patty was playing great D, tbh..should have kept him on Lillard and put Kawhi on McCollum..

[AFMadison]

Told you guys, that Tony will go Enrique mode in the 4th
Are the Spurs losing?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Told you guys, that Tony will go Enrique mode in the 4th
he only took 1 bad shot tbh

7 points 5 assists 0 turnovers on 3-6 shooting... what's the problem?

He's given up about 40 points combined to the guys taking turns abusing him.

[DAF86]

7 points 5 assists 0 turnovers on 3-6 shooting... what's the problem?

The defense.

[Kawhitstorm]

i want to win this game, but gosh I like Mccollum, what a competitor he is. This guy is an assassin, better than Lillard. I don't really like Lillard that much.

We all saw that in the Memphis series when Lillard was milk carton status while McCallum was throwing flames.

[milkyway21]

Portland never gives up. :cry

[hitmanyr2k]

Kawhi needs to stop being hesitant with those passes

He needs to work on his footwork and counters in the post. When his initial move is stopped he sometimes gets stuck.

[Keepin' it real]

Kawhi needs to stop being hesitant with those passes

Maybe send him to D League for a couple of weeks so he gets the point?

[RD2191]

Bullshit call

What's the % against Tony? I'm not a Parker basher but on this game he does seem to be getting burnt everytime he's out there.

[BatManu20]

That wasn't a travel because he didn't have possession of the ball you dipshit refs

[FkLA]

Are you even watching the game? He hasn't been solely on Lillard. He's been abused by CJ, Lillard, and Henderson in this 4th quarter alone.

Has Tim not played in the 4th?

Maybe send him to D League for a couple of weeks so he gets the point?
Or you can just say stop being so hesitant with those passes

[hitmanyr2k]

He needs to use fakes when he's in a crowd

Yep. With his work ethic and the way he studies players it'll all come in due time.

[spurs10]

Thank God the Red Rocket is going to save us!

[spurraider21]

Are you even watching the game? He hasn't been solely on Lillard.
yeah, he gave up a corner 3 a few minutes ago and a backdoor cut to lillard. he also had some decent possessions, stayed in front of his man and contested well enough. he's never been an all-defensive guy :lol... but he played fine today defensively

[milkyway21]

yeah he's given points up, blazers backcourt does all their heavy lifiting, but neither lillard nor mccollum shot at their season averages

You're insane. Even other posters that aren't part of the 'krew' have been posting about his horrible defense this game.

He was terrible at the beginning of the 1st quarter & 3rd quarter which is why Pop benched him:lol

[kaji157]

Wow good win, as said Boris is clearly a need with the starters, it´s either him or Manu and if you move Manu then you don´t have a bench.

Seems to me that either Tim or LA is going to the bench at some point if we are fair of what is best.

By the way, Ginobili is playing great, his ine today is awesome, 13/5/3 no turnovers on 50% shooting. Touche.

[spurs10]

Matty puts the team on his back!

[SAGirl]

Also very glad Danny got his shot back. He made 3-4 but he had so many plays off the dribble, that they didn't feel like a lot.
cheers for Danny.

Lamarcus awesome game, came up clutch when the game was close.

[SpurPadre]

Rasual would have saved that.

I thought my DVR receiver was acting up but no, he's slower than a sumo wrestler.

[FkLA]

Parker stat padding. Shameless.

+1

Third string in getting their one minute of action and he freezes them out. :td

He was the only player I was nervous about.

Wow good win, as said Boris is clearly a need with the starters, it´s either him or Manu and if you move Manu then you don´t have a bench.

Seems to me that either Tim or LA is going to the bench at some point if we are fair of what is best.

By the way, Ginobili is playing great, his ine today is awesome, 13/5/3 no turnovers on 50% shooting. Touche.
While playing a young, and incredibly talented backcourt at times.

Manuuuuu.

Announcers said he took less to stay a spur

Announcers alsa said that Parker-Green-Leonard-Diaw-Aldridge was our second unit.

Really good to see Danny getting his shot back tonight even though his D was lacking. Baby steps.

(https://twitter.com/AirlessJordan)Matt Bonner's season debut gives him 10 straight years with the Spurs. Only others to play 10-straight: Duncan, Parker, Ginobili & Robinson.

And that's ESPN's best lineup, tbh... miss the days of the play-by-play guys for ESPN Brad Nessler/Brent Musburger/Al Michaels rotation along with Tirico (who is still very good, but Breen and the rest are awful), tbh... with Bill Walton, Snapper Jones, Tom Tolbert, and several other color commentators that just made ESPN/ABC NBA so much better than it is today.

Most likely the starting line-up will remain the same but Porker/Tim/Danny (Patty/Diaw/Mau) might get benched in the 4th quarter depending on the matchup & how well they are playing.

We did not bring LaMarcus here to get Sixth Man of the Year. I advocate moving Timmy to second unit this year, next year and possibly the year after. He played 21 minutes tonight.

I LOVED that Pop went with Butler as the true back-up SF this game instead of giving him and Anderson spot minutes. Its clear Butler is a plus every time he is on the floor.

[lofds]

I've been super impressed by Butler. Every time he's out there you don't really notice him too much. He's just steady and makes the right plays with the perfect balance of aggression and passing.

They are talking about him taking less during his PREVIOUS extensions. It is common knowledge that Tony's new extension is a back-pay.

I have to admit, I was initially against the Butler signing, thinking we have enough old dudes but he's turned out to be a great fit. Smart player and makes good decisions with the ball, too.

Pop is really really strict this year. A lot of those things went on last year and the team was loafing around TBH.

I suspect there were many defensive issues though still to talk about, there was a layup line at one point at the rim and as always the dreaded Diaw/West combo got killed in OBoards and and lack of rim protection.
But its like :deadhorseat this point. We are bound to continue to see them together bc Tim needs a breather. When another team goes small/perimeter its not such a big deal bc then they can't rebound either, the problem is when there are bigs on the bench and you need them together. It is a given truth at this point that in all reality West is not a 5, even a bench one.

[Ice009]

That's disturbing.

You want to know what is disturbing? Bonner is not looking at this season as possibly being his last.

I've wanted Bonner gone for a long time - that's no secret, but with this current team the past few seasons, I've actually been OK with his role. If he could still shoot, I probably wouldn't have as much of a problem with him getting spot minutes to knock down shots and spread the floor, but if he can't hit a shot, then I have no clue why he's still on the team. I wonder if the Spurs are evaluating him in practice during this early part of the season?
