Game Thread: Spurs vs Suns -- Mon. (11/23) - 7:30PM CST (3:30AM Riga Time)

[BatManu20]

Home game tonight against a 7-6 Suns team who are coming off a loss last night to the Pelicans, so this will be the 2nd game of a b2b for them. I'm in SA this week so I'll be in attendance tonight.

Aldridge's status is questionable, and Brandon Knight and Eric Bledsoe have been playing well and will be a tough guard for us. Let's get it.

tough game ... TP and Patty have no chance to defend two strong guards like Bledsoe and Knight ...

Have fun at the game.

Hope the guys stay healthy and get the win. :flag:

[From Downtown]

Pop probably won't put Kawhi/Danny on Bledsoe before the last few minutes of the 4th,so it'll be tough
Hopefully TP plays well

Pretty sure Brandon Knight has never outplayed Parker in his career. http://bkref.com/tiny/RXExE

This team hasn't been able to impose its will on opponents coming off tough B2Bs...we let Sixers/Blazers/Denver all hang in late in our games..I just hope we blow this shit open in third and get some rest for our main guys..But Suns are decent, so im really expecting another close one in the last 5 minutes unless we get hot from 3.....

Well, there is always a first time for everything and Knight is having his best season yet from what I have heard ... I really did not watch any Suns games though

[heyheymymy]

[Robz4000]

Gonna be the toughest opponent since they played Washington. Suns match up well with the Spurs and actually look respectable (Pelicans are a match up nightmare for the Spurs but have otherwise looked awful, and the Grizz are somewhat respectable but the Spurs have owned their souls for years). Hoping for a win but a loss wouldn't shock me at all.

Pop has been putting Kawhi on Bledsoe from the start in recent meetings, right?

[All Mighty Janitor]

LMA out per Michael Erler.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Beat the Suns!

[k_nguyen93]

Knight and Bledsoe have been awesome this year. Hopefully we can contain them a bit.

[100%duncan]

It would piss me if we lose to this scrub ass team

[heyheymymy]

Suns always a Spurs rival regardless of relevance the last few years.

[BillMc]

Cheers to OP and others for the continuing Riga Time. :toast

Fuck..so much for a good game.

Hopefully Booker doesnt drop 28 on us :lol

[Hoops Czar]

LMA out per Michael Erler.

According to the same source, so is Bledsoe.

[spursistan]

looks like another :sleepnon-test with Bledose out. Dallas will jump on us on Wednesday..

No Bledsoe or LMA!

[Dex]

Smart move keeping LMA on the bench. No need to rush him back this early in the season. This is one of the moments where the West signing really starts to shine.

Just wish Boban were ready for rotation minutes. Even with Tim/West/Diaw...don't like to see the bigs get overextended.

[DarrinS]

I will check in on bipolar game thread at halftime. :lol

[SAGirl]

No Bledsoe is a relief, although I agree with others, won't be much of a test game without him. I was worried, but now I think we should be fine, Booker is an explosive shooter, but he's no Bledsoe on dribble penetration. Still we can't underestimate anyone at this point.

[TXstbobcat]

Any updates on LaMarcus?

Lasharkus is out tonight.

[spursistan]

Obviously health is priority, but we would have been better served with LMA in lineup using the past 2 games for further experimentation purposes..

[loveforthegame]

Let's go. :flag:

[pgardn]

Hornacek already hitting the gum.

More like Spurs always breaks Suns heart. The Suns are nothing more than a toy for the Spurs to play with.

[Cry Havoc]

C'mon West, you gotta hit those open ones.

[daledondale]

:wakeup

[Robz4000]

Should be up by 7 or 8 already. Too many missed easy shots/looks already.

[TheDoctor]

DWest punishing early.

[Uriel]

Why are there so many empty seats at the AT&T? Wasn't this supposed to be the year that ticket demand was so huge that the Spurs had to implement a waiting list on season tickets?

[100%duncan]

I really like the airballs. Helps the circulation in that arena.

[NASpurs]

Empty seats doesn't mean unsold seats. A lot of those seats were sold, the people just didn't go to the game.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard passing but no one hitting.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard with awesome passing tonight.

[LakerHater]

Tonight's keys to victory: run the #Suns (https://twitter.com/hashtag/Suns?src=hash) of the 3pt line, take advantage of our inside game, take care of the ball. #Spurs (https://twitter.com/hashtag/Spurs?src=hash) #GoSpursGo (https://twitter.com/hashtag/GoSpursGo?src=hash)

[100%duncan]

That was the most blatant "blocking" foul ever :lol

[Beaverfuzz]

Officials are letting them play eh?

[beirmeistr]

sloppy start on both sides

[Slime Baller]

Can't watch with shitty airplane wifi. Gonna follow the game with this thread.

Kawhi just sprouted wings and Diaw turned into a sentient croissant.

[Cry Havoc]

Officials calling touch fouls and flops but don't whistle when Kawhi gets completely blocked by a defender? The fuck?

[SAGirl]

Referees have been bad. Too much eggnog apparently...

[TheGreatYacht]

This game :lmao

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker playing like shit and Manu in turnobli mode tonight. Kawhi carrying the load right now

[Robz4000]

Officials are letting them play eh?

Been letting the Suns play. Spurs still can't buy a call at home or on the road.

[Cry Havoc]

Officials are letting them play eh?

Not at all. Tony, West, and Kawhi have been whistled for some very minor contact.

[100%duncan]

This game :lmao

Mills!!!!!!

[NASpurs]

Does Marqueef Morris ever miss against the Spurs?

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!

[100%duncan]

[100%duncan]

Boban :lmao

[Ron Swanson]

Boban the Barbarian

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Boban should have just layed that up reverse style. No need to turn around and bring it down.

[100%duncan]

RIP Morris

[sasaint]

Boban bringing the ball down to small man altitude!

[ElNono]

Boban just hurting people out there

[Johnny RIngo]

[TheGreatYacht]

Morris dieded

Boris needed to shoot the 3 and let Boban o rebound.

[Slime Baller]

If Boban gets a flagrant, riot.

Playing well tbh, carrying so far

[Johnny RIngo]

TD and Manu mentoring Boban there. Couldn't have asked for better teachers

[NASpurs]

The Suns announcers are amazed by Boban's size :lol, they've been talking about him for like five minutes nonstop

[SAGirl]

Boban should have just layed that up reverse style. No need to turn around and bring it down.
Old habits die hard. He will need to add stuff to his repertoire.

[loveforthegame]

Tim looking up to Boban :lol

I was laughing at that too. That doesn't happen very often. :lol

Kawhi did but I don't think 5 fga's is enough for the best player on the team.

[SAGirl]

Kawhi played all 12 mins and 40 mins. Total last game. Without LMA, Pop riding Kawhi hard.

Morris is hurting us.

It's what he wants and as long as his mpg is in a "healthy" range.

[100%duncan]

Kawhi 1st quarter line:
