Game Thread #10: Spurs vs Blazers -- Mon. (11/16) - 7:30PM CST (3:30AM Riga Time)

[TheDoctor]

Just logged in at the airport. What's the story of the game so far?

Both teams shooting 30% but SA's D has been stellar so far.

[sasaint]

The wins are nice but I'm tired of the Spurs playing these scrub teams. I want them to play a big boy team.

Not me. I'm grateful we are playing scrubs to tune up and get games like this out of our system. Most of our guys looked terrible against Philly. They have managed to look worse tonight. We don't look ready for any big boys.

[TXstbobcat]

Verde!!!!!

[sasaint]

Spurs not playing that well but Blazers playing a lot worse.

Thankfully! George Washington vs. Virginia on Espn2 was a lot better game.

[beirmeistr]

tony tried a manu drive but barely missed

[BatManu20]

LMA is being way too passive. Shoot the rock man

[TheDoctor]

lol LaMarcus wanted that block so bad

[Russ]

How come so many empty seats?

It's looked that way all year so far.

[SAGirl]

Lamarcus act of deferral. He doesn't have the shot tonight. Kawhi remnants of flu.

[NASpurs]

Not me. I'm grateful we are playing scrubs to tune up and get games like this out of our system. Most of our guys looked terrible against Philly. They have managed to look worse tonight. We don't look ready for any big boys.

Well there's something to be said about playing down to the competition and getting bored on beating up on scrubs. It's just a grind right now.

Gotta have some of those games where you have your backs against the wall instead of playing in glorified scrimmages.

Scrub Aminu going off tonight of course

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Kawhi is best when there is a loose ball on the court and can reek havoc on the other side.

[ironman2886]

LA hasn't taken a shot this quarter.

[Fireball]

LMA is forgetting what a ball looks like ...

[spursistan]

shitty LMA GAME..probaly his worst on both ends..

[TXstbobcat]

Portland is not done this is still a close game.

Blazers back to hitting bullshit shots. This is gonna come down to the bench.

[BatManu20]

666451028158513158

[apalisoc_9]

40 year old Duncan outplaying LMA on both ends. smh

True..to be fair, its not like LMA is touching the ball either :lol

[Brian Windhorst]

LMA starving for the ball, benched.

Pop doesn't know how to coach this guy.

[SpursFan86]

I'm turning this game off if I see Aminu make another shot

[NASpurs]

:lol TD

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy and 1!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[TDfan2007]

Aldridge can't seem to get involved in any way this half

[TheDoctor]

40 year old Duncan outplaying LMA on both ends. smh
Top 5 all-time HoF talent

[BatManu20]

Timmy the Gawd

[spursgu]

Really? This scrub again?

[SAGirl]

Timmyyy!

[TheGreatYacht]

So when will Mills get called out for his shitty defense?

[Budkin]

5 point game... WTF

[Mnky]

Leonard just doesn't like Plumlee yo :lol

[Ginobili3]

SlowMo killing us

[unleashbaynes]

Our offense fucking sucks.

[BatManu20]

Come on Kyle

[spursistan]

get kawhi back in the game...

[Texas_Ranger]

anderson belongs to D league

[SAGirl]

Bullshit call... guy was not set! Its difficult to be newb in this league per par.

[Kikoluna]

For all of you that said Anderson was worthy of playing time...I told you ...

[Johnny RIngo]

KA ugh lot of stupid plays from a guy that supposedly has a high bball IQ

[spursistan]

get kawhi back in the game...

[BatManu20]

Manu pissed that he's having to be a go-to guy right now tbh.

[Robz4000]

Pop's shitty defensive assignments allowed the Blazers to get rolling...

[SAGirl]

Of course, Portland is heating up.

[TXstbobcat]

Bobo!!!!!!!

[spurraider21]

lillard abusing patty

[SAGirl]

Boris the dance post up.

[benefactor]

Meanwhile...R:lolckets.

[SAGirl]

Manu got lucky there lol

[unleashbaynes]

We gotta start getting aldridge more touches.

[theMatrix]

We should just iso bobo every play..

[BatManu20]

We really need LMA to get going. He's too good to be play this poorly for 4 quarters

[Johnny RIngo]

This game should have been over in the first half. Blazers were fucking terrible and begging to get blown out. Spurs failed to capitalize.

[Brian Windhorst]

Rotations and playcalling have been rancid, and no one can hit the broad side of a barn...

[Beaverfuzz]

Kyle Anderson is fucking worthless.

[ElNono]

so... did LMA end up signing for the Spurs this summer or not? :lol

[Robz4000]

Game should've been a blowout. Offense has a lot of problems and Pop isn't helping matters by playing into Portland's strengths on the other end.

[Fireball]

Meanwhile...R:lolckets.

Celts really did us some favors the last two games ...

[TDfan2007]

Boris is such a wizard in the paint

[SAGirl]

Meanwhile...R:lolckets.
What is up with them seriously? I have not (nor do I intend to) watch them, but seriously they have fallen off worse than the Mavericks.

[BatManu20]

Meanwhile...R:lolckets.

McHale will be gone by Cheistmas at this rate.

[Hoops Czar]

Any shot Boris takes outside of three feet is a bad shot.

[Nathan89]

Just iso Diaw at the top and he'll find his way to the basket.

[SAGirl]

so... did LMA end up signing for the Spurs this summer or not? :lol
I am not sure who we are playing, but it doesn't look like him.

[TDfan2007]

Aldridge hasn't been involved, but he's been poor in all facets.

[Nathan89]

Kyle Anderson is fucking worthless.

He's not making everyone better?:lmao

[TXstbobcat]

Manu!!!!!!!

[Robz4000]

Meanwhile...R:lolckets.

Really worried McHale will be fired soon and a competent coach will be hired with enough time to stop their freefall.

[BatManu20]

Boris REALLY doesn't want to shoot a 3-pointer

[SAGirl]

Kyle Anderson is fucking worthless.


KA ugh lot of stupid plays from a guy that supposedly has a high bball IQ


For all of you that said Anderson was worthy of playing time...I told you ...

You have to allow the guy to play. Danny has had whole games looking worse. He needs to play through mistakes, and find a rhythm too.

[TXstbobcat]

Manu3333333333333

[BatManu20]

Manu!!!

[SAGirl]

Manu 3s!

[loveforthegame]

Bobo is so damn crafty.

[ElNono]

det bench

[BatManu20]

Boris and Manu. 2-man show.

[random21]

Bobo just abusing their bigs... Ed Davis sucks

[Brian Windhorst]

Manu bailing out Pop and the gang per par...

[r0drig0lac]

Diaw unstoppable today

[SAGirl]

This has really been the Bobo game though.

[resistanze]

so... did LMA end up signing for the Spurs this summer or not? :lol

:lol has he touched the ball tbh?

[pgardn]

You sure ref?

[Robz4000]

Silver&Black Diaw carrying Boris Diaw 2.0 fantasy team tonight !!!!

[ironman2886]

For Christ's sake Pop, keep the same lineup in for now.

[sasaint]

Boris is such a wizard in the paint

Picture of Boris in the dictionary entry for "crafty".

[SAGirl]

Bobo just abusing their bigs... Ed Davis sucks


Bobo is so damn crafty.


Diaw unstoppable today

:bobo

[Nathan89]

If Boris is on the court LMA doesn't deserve to touch the ball tbh.

[Fireball]

Mario Chalmers exciting Memphis fans ...

[SAGirl]

Boris is getting a nice workout this game for sure.

[TXstbobcat]

Verde3333333333333

[pgardn]

LMA does not want the post up.

[TheGreatYacht]

so... did LMA end up signing for the Spurs this summer or not? :lol
Pathetic. No shots in the second half

[Cry Havoc]

Finally, Danny Gr33n!!!

[TDfan2007]

I'd rather the offense run through Diaw and Manu than Aldridge, tbh, but it'd be nice to see him involved in some pick and pop action

[spurraider21]

patty to green!

[BatManu20]

Danny!

[NASpurs]

Just die already Blazer scrubs :lol

I want to see some Boban.

[BatManu20]

Fucking Aminu :lol

[SAGirl]

Danny getting a rhythm going finally.

[TheGreatYacht]

LMA does not want the post up.
4 chuckers don't want the LMA postup*

[BatManu20]

Aldridge looks like he doesn't even want the ball

[SAGirl]

Aminu played well in the previous game as well, and he exploded for the Mavs in the playoffs last season. He's not a scub.

[Brian Windhorst]

smfh Pop is already losing Lamarcus mentally

so frustrating

[ironman2886]

LA's worst game this season.

[ElNono]

Softridge mailing it in this early in the season?

[Kawhitstorm]

LMA wants to be a role player:lol

[sasaint]

LMA does not want the post up.

LMA caught Kawhi's respiratory infection.

[Texas_Ranger]

did green even work on his offensive game in the last 3-4 years. Other than that floater that he hits once in a while he is pretty pathetic for a guard.

[Robz4000]

Aminu played well in the previous game as well, and he exploded for the Mavs in the playoffs last season. He's not a scub.

Getting Aminu a few years ago would've been great for the Spurs, though it does look like he's fixed his shot a bit. Could be an Ariza-type player.

[SpurSwag]

We need to post lma up 5 straight times just to give him confidence, I think he's starting to feel like a role
player

[Brian Windhorst]

I'd check out too if I was a premier scorer and Pop buried me behind the backboard on the right baseline all game because "teamwork"

[Johnny RIngo]

Softridge mailing it in this early in the season?

In playoff mode it looks like. Just with less chucking.

[Fireball]

I think its time for Pop changing his strategy ... CALL SOME PLAYS FOR LMA !!!!

[Darius McCrary]

Aldridge already gave up on the Spurs.

End of the LaMarcus era?

[pgardn]

Aldridge looks like he doesn't even want the ball

Correct.

He does not. He flat out had position and he did not want the ball.
Seen this many times. It's ok, he may not feel it. But he has the position.

[TheGreatYacht]

They finally benched Gino3-10i

[SAGirl]

Aldridge looks like he doesn't even want the ball


Softridge mailing it in this early in the season?


LA's worst game this season.


smfh Pop is already losing Lamarcus mentally

so frustrating


LMA wants to be a role player:lol

Not sure waht's going on with him, but Pop has let him be as deferential as he can be. But at some point, he's got to put the pressure on. The team is not going to achieve its full potential until LMA gets it going for real. Against good teams you need him.

[TDfan2007]

Aldridge looks totally disengaged. He's been passing up what few opportunities he's had this half

[theMatrix]

Is it by design that whenever a big gets the ball up high, aldridge will be standing behind the basket?

[Kawhitstorm]

Aminu played well in the previous game as well, and he exploded for the Mavs in the playoffs last season. He's not a scub.

Aminu is the type of player that excels when he isn't thinking which is why he's making all the bail out shots

[Robz4000]

Of course

[resistanze]

Any reason why LMA isn't incorporated in any P&P?

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!

[BatManu20]

Aminu having the game of his life

[SAGirl]

Aminu is going to kill us

[Johnny RIngo]

LMBeta for sure tonight

[Beaverfuzz]

You have to allow the guy to play. Danny has had whole games looking worse. He needs to play through mistakes, and find a rhythm too.


Anderson is worthless period. Go play tag in the middle of the freeway.

[Robz4000]

God damnit Pop, why now?

[Beaverfuzz]

LOL Aldridge, ever hear of a bounce pass?

[loveforthegame]

Great pass LMA.

[spurraider21]

kawhi gonna take us home

[BatManu20]

Jesus Aldridge

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!!!!

[Texas_Ranger]

aldridge still playing for portland

[pgardn]

When we put a guy on the floor and he does not feel it it's ok.
But he needs to let his team know he will do everything else.

[spurraider21]

Lillard scoring on Patty, Tony drawing fouls on Lillard

[TDfan2007]

Danny is such a great one on one defender

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!!!!!!!!

[exstatic]

Mills is the WORST defensive guard on our team. Lollard was contained with Tony on him, but has gone Berserk with Mills "guarding" him.

[SASdynasty!]

MVParker taking us home.

[BatManu20]

Tony bring us home

[Johnny RIngo]

27 pts - Lilard
6 pts - LMA

Portland made the right choice

[spurraider21]

Tony and Kawhi 2 man game

playerfans furious

[NASpurs]

Scrubs making threes now

[TXstbobcat]

Manu!!!!!!!

[Kawhitstorm]

Blazers making BS shots:lol

Portland made the right choice

Knee jerk.

[Johnny RIngo]

Manu taking us home, like always.

[random21]

Manu so consistent this season

[SAGirl]

Manu clutch!

[TheGreatYacht]

Tony locking down whoever he's on

[NASpurs]

Manu carrying scrubs per par.

[ElNono]

didn't think Manu could hit those anymore :tu

[Texas_Ranger]

if only pop benched vagina aldridge

[$pursDynasty]

Big 3 taking us home in this one

[Brian Windhorst]

The wings literally don't know what to do with LMA at the high post. We're 1/8 through the season and we don't have a single play call for him.

[james evans]

see how that works? good D. They need to stop collapsing in the paint on every drive. We are being killed on wide open 3s

[lefty20]

Clutchobili doin his thing

[TheGreatYacht]

You weren't saying that in 13, clown lmao

[ElNono]

LaMarcus Splitter, tbh... just filling space out there

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol Portland's announcers have spent all night discussing all the reasons Aldridge might be unhappy in SA, tbh..

[SASdynasty!]

Tony DParkerOY

[Robz4000]

Pop Rousey'd this game tbh

He's Rousey'd the past 5-6 games tbh.

[Raven]

that's a though jumper he made..

[spurraider21]

LMA on strike?
definitely not a hunger strike

[Russ]

if only pop benched vagina aldridge

He'll get a big rebound down the stretch . . .

[Arcadian]

Everyone in this lineup can create their own shot, Parker/Manu/Leonard/Aldridge/Duncan. If they can play with chemistry, no one will be able to stop them.

[Johnny RIngo]

You weren't saying that in 13, clown lmao

Says the retard that thought Avery fucking Johnson was more important than DRob in our 1999 title run

[SASdynasty!]

definitely not a hunger strike
