This one still stings

[TheGreatYacht]

Just held the Rockets to 84... Spurs always catch me when they're rolling :lol not only did we lose Grizz killer Tiago, his replacement is doubtful

[HarlemHeat37]

Conley and Chalmers are probably going to combine for 60, tbh:lol..

[objective]

Maybe a chance for Boban to get in ... Unless pop still likes it when opposing bigs manhandle and dunk all over West and Diaw

[apalisoc_9]

Interesting matchup. Tge spurs arent as bad of a matchup for memphis as they were two years ago...well see.

Chalmers is contributing really well.

[Texas_Ranger]

can't wait to see Chalmers score 30.. Anyway, Spurs with Manu win by 10, Spurs without Manu lose by 20.

[urunobili]

Last year Amused didn't injure anybody but the season was full of losses like the one against the Pelicans...

[Darius Bieber]

Hopefully Amused causes Parker to go down.

[HarlemHeat37]

25 posts in this thread, yet no mention of Matt Barnes?:lol

[Kawhitstorm]

25 posts in this thread, yet no mention of Matt Barnes?:lol

Kawhi usually doesn't play well against Memphis now they have Matt Barnes:depressed

[100%duncan]

Thankfully its at home so the team can be more energized at the end of a b2b and following a loss.

[Johnny RIngo]

Still remember Super Mario destroying Tony Parker in the 2013 Finals. Pretty much shut the book on the "MVParker" era all by himself. Poor Tony has never been the same since. Hope the dude takes it easy against us tomorrow. We could use a win after that embarrassing Pelicans game.

[r0drig0lac]

Wow Lamarcus playing apparently????

I hope he doesn't reinjure the ankle. He must really want to win this game!

Let's go Spurs!

[DarrinS]

Yes! Manu is back. Looking forward to watching 2nd unit tonight. :tu

[spursistan]

the good think about LMA, he is really the anti-Splitter..Dude warriors it..i don't expect him to miss more than this one, if he does..

[heyheymymy]

No problem

prob the best username on this site. well done, sick reference.

[steeledl]

If the offense doesn't move the ball.... play through Parker... we will lose this one too. Kawhi is a great player but he doesn't create shots for others around him. 1 on 1 ball doesn't win championships.

Better ball movement tonight because Manu is playing.

[From Downtown]

Z-Bo's out apparently

[TD 21]

Z-Bo's out apparently

It's about damn time this team catches some opposition injury luck, though of course it comes when Aldridge is out.

I expect the big rotation to be as follows: West starts at PF, but cedes a lot of the PF minutes to Diaw and some combination of Leonard/Butler/Bonner, with West doubling as the backup C.

[rasuo214]

Obviously rooting for a win but I'm hoping for a dominant win so all the recent shit threads get bumped off the first page.

[bklynspursfan]

We can win this w/o LMA. I'm curious to see if Pop starts Diaw who and has had success against Z-Bo, or opts to keep him coming off the bench with the 2nd unit now that Manu is back.

We may even have a Bonner sighting tonight.. Meltdown would surely ensue here despite him playing pretty well in limited minutes

[100%duncan]

Boban gonna school Gasoft

[steeledl]

Boban is not good..... why you dudes hyping him? He is a nice 5th or 6th big. Slow footed big men have no place being in the rotation in todays NBA

[LittleCriminal]

If boban plays spurs win by 12
If he sits, spurs win by 6

[SAGirl]

Id rather see Boban than Bonner, but it will likely be the opposite bc Pop. :pop:

That said, if we do have a dose of Bonner, I wish him well. I want to see some 3 pt shots from him or the skyhook.
:flag:

[SupremeGuy]

I'm still waiting for the cat crew to make some predictions about tonight's game with regards to Kawhi and TP. Bunch of faggots don't even buy into their own agenda. :lol

[lilbthebasedgod]

Boban should definitely play over Bonner. We need an interior presence to replace Aldridge. Not that Aldridge was really...but he's much more than Bonner.

[SAGirl]

It should be a good game bc the Grizzlies have trended up, but I will miss Lamarcus TBH. The difference between Lamarcus to Bonner is just .... :dramaquee

Then, I know West has been playing well offensively, making shots and passing the ball well, but I am not a fan at all of his defense. :madrun

So, all in all, more than anything hoping for a good game from Manu and a bounce back game from Kawhi and Tony.

For sure when Tony is on his game its a different game.

[steeledl]

Tony.... is the engine. We have to play through him. He is the only guy who makes others around him better. He makes the game easy for everyone else.

[SAGirl]

Chalmers looks to be in better shape. I had not seen him all season. He's been hot so we better put a hand up on him.

[From Downtown]

lol @ people acting like that bullshit awkward shot by our PG that luckily went in is worth praising

[TXstbobcat]

Manu!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Missed you Manu. :tu

[steeledl]

Thats how we have to score the ball instead of hero ball. Kawhi can still get his shots... within the offense. Nice illustration by Sean.

[TXstbobcat]

wow we were lucky Lee missed. bad D

Don't embarrass yourself.

[KDKSpurs24]

Thats how we have to score the ball instead of hero ball. Kawhi can still get his shots... within the offense. Nice illustration by Sean.

I've been such a big fan of Kawhi but lately he has just been pissing me off when it comes to his reluctance to shoot the jump hook more. He is so strong that he can just bury his defender under the rim any time he wants and shoot the jump hook but he just passes out of it 90% of the time. It looks like it would be so easy. I've seen him make it several times. I just don't get it..

Didn't mean to quote that lol

[SAGirl]

manu continues his HOT streak!!!!

[Robz4000]

Refs continue with their bullshit.

det no-look by Manu to Bobo... <3

HATER GONNA HATE

Just being real. I've seen this time and time again from Manu... he just fades. I think Pop needs to sit him for a cool month somewhere in the middle of the season to combat this.

[ElNono]

:lol there's a 0.001% chance that Manu didn't go on the Barry Bonds diet during the Summer, tbh..

damn, gotta get me some of that... :lol

Once every 20 games so people can hold to hope that he's making strides for his comeback.

[SupremeGuy]

KA with the jumper!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Anderson with poor shot selection, bailed out by the ball going in

I saw Gasol grabbing his knee and limping earlier, have they said anything about it?

[ElNono]

now we need Danny to get going, tbh

[SAGirl]

Anderson vs. Barnes!
:lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

David West.... a true Spur.

He's a career playoff free throw choker, tbh... watch the 2011-2013 Miami-Indiana series more closely

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Manu leaves the game, Grizzlies score 2 unanswered times in a row

[steeledl]

Need Parker in the game ASAP. Get that nigga Anderson out the game and off our roster.

[heyheymymy]

KA is going to get some burn if he can keep staying steady and hitting shots

[SAGirl]

crazy sequence there.
Pop trying Anderson at the 4. I like it. Maybe that is his destiny in the long run for us.
Still a baby in NBA terms.

[steeledl]

IF TEAM DUN PLAYS DEFENCE,WILL THEY WILL LAST NITE ?????????

Sorry bruh. I don't speak retard. google translate doesn't have an option for that unfortunately .

[SAGirl]

KA is going to get some burn if he can keep staying steady and hitting shots
I thought Pop should have had him on the other Anderson last night. He wasn't bad on him for a few mins, and clearly WEst/Diaw could not keep up with him. Who knows?

[Robz4000]

I love Manu, but the fact this team goes from contender to first-round fodder without him is gonna be a fatal flaw.

[TXstbobcat]

Need Parker in the game ASAP. Get that nigga Anderson out the game and off our roster.

No chance. Spurs already picked up the option on slomo for next year.

Tim has been clumsy as fuck the past 2 games:lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Duncan with 3, Parker back in.


Vinsanity cooking.

[loveforthegame]

Ugh. 3rd foul on Timmy.

[heyheymymy]

fuck 3rd on TD already

[NASpurs]

Pop's playing TD with 3 fouls in the 2nd quarter... if that can't get Boban into the game, nothing will at this point unless it's human victory cigar time.

[Robz4000]

Get Duncan out of there tbh. Can't risk him getting his fourth.

[SAGirl]

Mario fouling Tony! Old times lol

[Johnny RIngo]

Just being real. I've seen this time and time again from Manu... he just fades. I think Pop needs to sit him for a cool month somewhere in the middle of the season to combat this.

:lol What a shitty take. Manu is ridiculously consistent from reg season to post-season. Parker is the one that sees drops across most statistical categories from regular season to playoffs.

[Robz4000]

well, it buys time for this team to get better while winning... we're only in november

I know, but I'm really starting to have my doubts of this team.

[NASpurs]

Duncan needs a Manu-type mini-vacation.

tonyyyy

[steeledl]

:lol What a shitty take. Manu is ridiculously consistent from reg season to post-season. Parker is the one that sees drops across most statistical categories from regular season to playoffs.

This dude has lost multiple series for us in the past because Pop rode him even though he had nothing left. It aint his fault he had nothing left... it's Pops for playing him when he had nothing left.

[spursistan]

saw manu stretching his leg on bench..that shit hip looks niggly AF.

[random21]

You can tell Memphis is exhausted on a back to back game...

[SAGirl]

As long as we dont have Anthony Davis or Ibaka, Tony is on! lol Love when he plays well though.

[ElNono]

Hopefully Manu shared his PED stash with Tony.... he's looked pretty good the last few games...
