Game Thread: Spurs vs Bucks -- Wed. (12/2) - 7:30PM CST (3:30AM Riga Time)

[TheDoctor]

Dirty play by Giannis

[Fireball]

I wish the Spurs players would award LMA with some shots because he is giving everything on defense

[Nathan89]

Kawhi gets tackled and they don't think that's a foul?

[r0drig0lac]

Kawow 3-10 wtf

[Robz4000]

So many missed opportunities on offense...

[SPURt]

Gfghytddhu Aggfrduhjh harmed Kawhi

[Kool Bob Love]

Watch your bullshit, Giannis.

Kawhi isn't gonna do shit. Giannis knows this.

[Fireball]

Mills on fire tonight.

he only made one jump shot ... thats not even gay warm tbh

[Nathan89]

I wish the Spurs players would award LMA with some shots because he is giving everything on defense

When your offensive game is soft then you may not get the ball.

[Fireball]

Gfghytddhu Aggfrduhjh harmed Kawhi

:lmao

[loveforthegame]

Defense is beautiful.

[ElNono]

Looks like we're going to hold them under 40 at the half :tu

[LakerHater]

[ElNono]

lol Manu trowing that towel at Kyle

[SAGirl]

Td has been around the league so long he can sniff every play b4 it happens. Omg greatness!!

[SAGirl]

lol Manu trowing that towel at Kyle
:lmao

[Fireball]

without their FTs Bucks could not score 60 on us ...

[100%duncan]

672242558374907906

i also hated that one play where he went for the steal then got mismatched with Monroe

[Silver&Black]

Spurs lead 48-38 at the half....

http://i.imgur.com/uIdKAMl.png

[Ron Swanson]

Not the greatest half of basketball, but I'll take a 10 pt lead.

[ceperez]

Kawow 3-10 wtf

Told you all earlier. Length will always be a problem for KL.

[SAGirl]

without their FTs Bucks could not score 60 on us ...
They sure are a thrilling young team though. I can't hate Giannis. He's too unique.

[TheDoctor]

Ater playing 40mins and owning Bulls best player, Kawhi looks sorta gassed tonight.

[ceperez]

No it won't.

Yes it will, 3-10 so far.

[SpursforSix]

Not the greatest half of basketball, but I'll take a 10 pt lead.

Not too bad. Some flashes of greatness in between a bunch of slop. Hopefully get a big enough lead to rest for Memphis.

[sasaint]

Shooting the ball poorly in all three areas and up by ten. OK.

[keeferob25]

Impossible to truly tell but I get the feeling Lamarcus is really liking his role where it was feared that he would present a bit of diva if he wasn't getting his touches and stats. Defense has been exceptional!

[Robz4000]

Literally only Duncan playing well, though I like LMA's defense. This is gonna be a close finish.

[SupremeGuy]

Told you all earlier. Length will always be a problem for KL.He missed a lot of open shots.

[Fireball]

Ater playing 40mins and owning Bulls best player, Kawhi looks sorta gassed tonight.

well, his length on the low block is his USP against most teams ... it does not work against the Bucks

[SASdynasty!]

Rick Renner "Spurs shoot a blistering 42% in the first half" WTF?

[SAGirl]

Impossible to truly tell but I get the feeling Lamarcus is really liking his role where it was feared that he would present a bit of diva if he wasn't getting his touches and stats. Defense has been exceptional!
I don't believe any of that diva talk. He would nit be with us otherwise. This team is the anti-diva. To walk in Timmy' s shadow? NOpe. I think he truly is a competitor and I do hope for him to find his groove and help us with :lobt2:

[sasaint]

Rick Renner "Spurs shoot a blistering 42% in the first half" WTF?

Old Helmet Hair! He last played BB in 6th grade gym class.

[SAGirl]

Rick Renner "Spurs shoot a blistering 42% in the first half" WTF?
:lol

[spursistan]

LMA's D has been a truly pleasant surprise.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard has done well in the post. Get him a few looks there should be simple enough. The very least it should draw the double team.

[ElNono]

i also hated that one play where he went for the steal then got mismatched with Monroe

Pop got mad at this one... he's going to hear it at halftime

[ElNono]

Kawhi is just making bad decisions on offense... when he has a lot of shot clock, he's setting for jumpers... with the clock winding down, he goes for the drive... it has to be the other way around...

He'll learn...

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi is forcing it a bit too much in the first half. LMA really needs to try and get more involved and call for the ball in the post too. He isn't really being assertive and has had some mis-matches

[sasaint]

LMA's D has been a truly pleasant surprise.

And his boarding, especially on the offensive end. For one, I like the niche he seems to be finding, although I'd like to see his shooting improve a little, and I believe t will. I would also like to see him teamed with Boris more and Tim less. I believe he would be less deferential.

[Hoops Czar]

Told you all earlier. Length will always be a problem for KL.

Length as in what, feet from the basketball? He had plenty of quality looks. He should be taking it strong to the basket every time he touches the basketball.

[100%duncan]

Pop got mad at this one... he's going to hear it at halftime

Really? Didn't see Pop's reaction. From what I've seen so far also in Bulls game, manu seems to really risk more on defense. Sometimes it works (butler turnover), sometimes it bites us in the ass.

[100%duncan]

Spurs lead 48-38 at the half....

http://i.imgur.com/uIdKAMl.png

3/10 from kawhi. Ugh.

[ElNono]

He had a nice steal on D too, tbh... But yeah, Pop was basically holding his head in disgust :lol

[TheDoctor]

:downspin:

[100%duncan]

He had a nice steal on D too, tbh... But yeah, Pop was basically holding his head in disgust :lol

Maybe it's because of the legs, he can't keep up with guys anymore so he just tries to go for the steal

[ElNono]

AT&T new restaurants must be really good.... seats are empty now :lol

[NASpurs]

I was waiting for the Bucks run... per par.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!!!!!!

[Ron Swanson]

Timmy

[ElNono]

we came out flat

[TheDoctor]

Wtf was that?

[Ron Swanson]

Danny, quit driving into the lane.

[100%duncan]

God, danny take the fucking shot or pass it off.

[loveforthegame]

Timmy tip!

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy with 14 pts

[TXstbobcat]

LMA!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

LMA clean up!

[TheDoctor]

TD bailing out these desinterested fuckers

[Ron Swanson]

Nice cleanup by LMA

[100%duncan]

[ElNono]

[Southwest Texas Fan]

What's up with Green, is he trying to work on his handles?

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[r0drig0lac]

[Ron Swanson]

Timmy's so excited that he knocked over a plant.

[EVAY]

TD is playing like he knows that he isn't going to play tomorrow night.

[NASpurs]

Gotta get that fat lead... for when the bench fucks up.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard getting inside and passing out so far.

[Cry Havoc]

Tim Fucking Duncan. The Forever Man.

[EVAY]

What's up with Green, is he trying to work on his handles?

Nobody knows what is up with him, but I think he is like 0-for-the-season so far.

[TheDoctor]

What's up with Green, is he trying to work on his handles?
He's drunk

[TXstbobcat]

Old man riverwalk destroying the Bucks

[Robz4000]

This team is gonna suuuuuuck when Timmy's gone. Has a bad game the day before? Follows it up with a monster game.

[100%duncan]

TD is playing like he knows that he isn't going to play tomorrow night.

Don;t we have memphis tom?

[100%duncan]

This team is gonna suuuuuuck when Timmy's gone. Has a bad game the day before? Follows it up with a monster game.

Yup :lol or when Gino leaves. When the 2 leave goodluck finding replacements.

[spursistan]

what a shitty call

[TheDoctor]

Nooo way that was a foul!

[ElNono]

need to make a lil run and get some more separation

[ElNono]

[BatManu20]

Tonyyy

[sasaint]

TP with 2 pseudo-assists :lol

The LMA cleanup looked intentional by Tony.

[ElNono]

come on, you gotta score that

[Ron Swanson]

That's a lot of misses down there.

[BatManu20]

Jeezus Spurs cannot hit a short-range jumper :lol

[100%duncan]

Kawhi brick brick brick

[beirmeistr]

kawhi not hitting the easy ones

[Silver&Black]

C'mon Kawhi 3/11 ain't gonna cut it.

Get it going son.

[EVAY]

Don;t we have memphis tom?

yep.

[spursistan]

we are missing chances to blow them out and rest..

[sasaint]

Jonathon let's go!

[SPURt]

The Spurs hate making layups

[ElNono]

looks like Manu might get a rest here if we can keep this lead

[loveforthegame]

Aldridge cold now.

[loveforthegame]

You won't like it when he's angry.

[sasaint]

Pop is ABSOLUTELY determined to pair DWest and Bobo. Sheesh!

[Ron Swanson]

Jesus, Kawhi.

[TheDoctor]

Kawhi's doing his best TP impersonation tonight. He's making love to the floor

[loveforthegame]

Might not be pretty but he's drawing the fouls. :tu

[ElNono]

simms!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard lob to Simmons. :tu

[TXstbobcat]

Air Simmons!!!!!!!!!!

[Ron Swanson]

BOOM!

[r0drig0lac]

wow!!!!!

[BatManu20]

Simmons!

[TheDoctor]

BOOM!

[SpursIndonesia]

Kawhi Durant, love him some foodstamps. :tu

[sasaint]

Kawhi - Simms connection again!

[ace3g]

Kawhi to Simmons!!!

[Robz4000]

That's how you run an alleyoop!

[Silver&Black]

SIMM:wowNS

[Nathan89]

KA would've been at half court. Meanwhile Simmons is touching the shotclock.

[beirmeistr]

hilarious

[BatManu20]

When was the last time somebody not named Kawhi got an alley-oop in a Spurs uni..?

[100%duncan]

Well that was quick, i was just browsing through facebook and we're suddenly up 20

[spursistan]

No Timmy and Gino for rest of the game hopefully..

[Fireball]

woohoo ....

[SAGirl]

Pop is ABSOLUTELY determined to pair DWest and Bobo. Sheesh!
I suppose he's aware of our troubles but determined to spare TIm during the RS.


BTW, Simmons!

[NASpurs]

KA would've been at half court. Meanwhile Simmons is touching the shotclock.

:lol true

[ace3g]

need a gif of that

[loveforthegame]

Leonard is playing smarter this half.

He's only missed one shot.

He's attacking and kicking out or drawing fouls.

[FaM0us Skins]

The Spurs have 9 steals and 6 blocks. The Bucks have 14 made baskets

[NASpurs]

When was the last time somebody not named Kawhi got an alley-oop in a Spurs uni..?

Richard Jefferson?

[sasaint]

Kawhi is going to turn Simmons into a legit NBA player.

[100%duncan]

No replay of the oop???? I missed it

[Silver&Black]

Sidney Moncrief...

[NASpurs]

Simmons is just a ball of energy.

[Silver&Black]

Simmons is starting to creep into the "my nigga" conversation...

[100%duncan]

Ugh whi

[SAGirl]

The Simmons game! He can just get you easy buckets in transition.

[100%duncan]

Simmons def gonna get killed with that defense :lmao

[sasaint]

Simmons' gamble on D will get him benched.

[SpursIndonesia]

Yeah, i see why HH said Simmons is still an underwhelming defender, despite his athleticism & decent length.

[Kawhitstorm]

Kawhi should be on Middleton

[Fireball]

When was the last time somebody not named Kawhi got an alley-oop in a Spurs uni..?


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnV5p0o5NNc

[SAGirl]

I don't know how Pop will fit everyone in but Simmons can play.

[ceperez]

Yeah, i see why HH said Simmons is still an underwhelming defender, despite his athleticism & decent length.

Middleton is too big for Simmons.

[ElNono]

paddy!

[TXstbobcat]

Mills33333333333

[BatManu20]

Richard Jefferson?

That's probably correct tbh. Been a while.

[Nathan89]

Simmons is starting to creep into the "my nigga" conversation...:lol

[Ron Swanson]

Patty for 3!

[Silver&Black]

:worthy: MVPatty

[BatManu20]

P-MILLZ

[sasaint]

Sidney Moncrief...

Answering the trivia question?

[FaM0us Skins]

Mills drills the open three

[spursistan]

Is Green a lost cause? this not even Icy/Hot thing anymore..

[Kawhitstorm]

Yeah, i see why HH said Simmons is still an underwhelming defender, despite his athleticism & decent length.

Middleton is a very good post up player & very long, they can't leave Simmons on as island. He played him well initially & gambled on the second postup when he realized nobody was going to help.

[TXstbobcat]

Verde!!!!!

[100%duncan]

That pass :wow

[sasaint]

Mills going for his own wedgie!:lol

[ElNono]

and1 simms!

[TXstbobcat]

Simmons!!!!!!

[Ron Swanson]

And 1 Simmons!

[Silver&Black]

It's official:

Simmons....

My nigga.

[BatManu20]

Simmons doing work on these scrubs

[100%duncan]

Goddamn this dude is gonna overtake Kyle on the rotation :lol

[atoyotagaspedal]

holy crap

[SAGirl]

POP coaching tough despite the lead I love that.

[100%duncan]

It's official:

Simmons....

My nigga.

:lol

made mine during the summer league tbh... you're late son :wakeup

[FaM0us Skins]

Simmons once more on the break!

[Nathan89]

:wow

[TXstbobcat]

West!!!!!

[r0drig0lac]

dat move

[TheDoctor]

Kawhi knows he can shoot, but he's off tonight, so in nights like these, he should settle for practice his drives and playmaking more.

[Ron Swanson]

It's official:

Simmons....

My nigga.

:lol

[atoyotagaspedal]

oh man they still have another quarter left

[bic50]

Simmons needs to play more.

[Kawhitstorm]

WTF was that Patty, feed Simmons:bang

[ace3g]

672253894555254784

[sasaint]

Simmons needs to play more.

He is gradually getting more minutes.

[SAGirl]

POP should have experimented a little bit more against the bulls putting Simmons in. I though he might have helped and if he screwed it in a couple minutes you could always pull him.

[Silver&Black]

Spurs lead by 21. 76-55 going into the 4th Q...

http://i.imgur.com/MPbEx9g.png

[ceperez]

Goddamn this dude is gonna overtake Kyle on the rotation :lol

Kyle playing better defense on Middleton. Green and Simmons just too small.

[Fireball]

guess Nono and I want to keep them under 70 now :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Kawhi knows he can shoot, but he's off tonight, so in nights like these, he should settle for practice his drives and playmaking game more.

He's driving & getting to the line

[Silver&Black]

:lol

made mine during the summer league tbh... you're late son :wakeup

I'm a proud member of the Vicaroge of Jonathon Simmons.....:wakeup

[Ron Swanson]

[TXstbobcat]

Bobo!!!!! :bobo

[urunobili]

Vicaroe thread already bumped? :-)

[Nathan89]

If you didn't get your Simmons stock in summer then better get it now. Looking like hockey stick growth imho

[TXstbobcat]

Mills!!!!!!!!

[sasaint]

Who gets more tip-ins than Boris, especially for a guy of his height and lack of hops?

[Kawhitstorm]

Diaw:lmao

[bic50]

He is gradually getting more minutes.

Really like that guy

[SAGirl]

This is for film session time now.

[Kawhitstorm]

Who gets more tip-ins than Boris, especially for a guy of his height and lack of hops?

Z-Bo/Draymond

nice, we get Manu and Tim to rest too now

[SAGirl]

Bad pass by west

[Silver&Black]

MVPatty 4 333333333....

Good to see the bench scoring.

:tu Starters need the rest

[sasaint]

Kyle filling the passing lane.

[r0drig0lac]

holy shit...this defense

[BatManu20]

This is some ugly basketball being played on the court right now :lol

[spursistan]

Well looks likely we might see both Timmy and Ginobili vs Memphis..only 20 and 12 mins played respectively..

[100%duncan]

Forget det dude Mayo. Nigga playing scrub mins

[Silver&Black]

That Kyle Anderson hockey assist...

:cry

[100%duncan]

Well looks likely we might see both Timmy and Ginobili vs Memphis..only 20 and 12 mins played respectively..

16 and 10 in 20 mins :worthy:

[Fireball]

Bucks look horrible ... totally destroyed them

[SAGirl]

Nobody but Mills wanted to shoot. Not even Rasual.

[steeledl]

At the casino..... Haven't watched since half time. Looked up the box score and saw Simmons gots a few. How has he looked?

[Fireball]

what happened to Bayless?

[EVAY]

Well looks likely we might see both Timmy and Ginobili vs Memphis..only 20 and 12 mins played respectively..

My very thought.

I had figured Tim wouldn't be playing tomorrow night, but now I would assume that both he and Ginobili will be available. What a luxury!

[EVAY]

At the casino..... Haven't watched since half time. Looked up the box score and saw Simmons gots a few. How has he looked?


Great on offense.

[SAGirl]

Kyle filling the passing lane.
He has terrific hands doesn't foul often on his blocks, deflections or steals. Has to be more aggressive with his shot though.

[100%duncan]

RED MAMBA SIGHTING

[Silver&Black]

Holy Fuck Bonner is in.

Is a 24 point lead safe?

[Ron Swanson]

Human Victory Cigar in already?

[BatManu20]

Bonner in the game :wow

[sasaint]

Nice pass by Simmons that Bonner botches.

[Robz4000]

:lol Man I'm glad I was wrong about tonight's game. Still, the play of the bench home vs away is still extremely worrisome. Mills especially needs to play better on the road.

[TheDoctor]

Opponents are shooting a mere 38% when guarded by LMA. That's awesome.

[100%duncan]

:lol Man I'm glad I was wrong about tonight's game. Still, the play of the bench home vs away is still extremely worrisome. Mills especially needs to play better on the road.

This game changes nothing. We still lost games against great teams, granted all of them are on the road, but still.

[Ron Swanson]

Damn, Bobo. What the hell?

[SAGirl]

Kyle on the PG has to be practice on defending small guards. More Pop experiments

[spursistan]

getting sloppy and tired..

[Hoops Czar]

Diaw's game has fallen off a cliff.

[steeledl]

Great on offense.

Nice. Thanks. Defense not so good?

[SAGirl]

Damn, Bobo. What the:toast hell?
BOBo adding to Kyle's film session roast!!

[Fireball]

is that Plumlee? he looks fat ... what happened to him?

[Silver&Black]

Mills especially needs to play better on the road.

Tru dat...

It's night and day difference with him at home and on the road this year.

IIRC....last year he was light's out on the road. I can remember a few games where he was our leading scorer on the road (when the Big 3 would sit). We even won a lot of those games.

[100%duncan]

He saved our asses game 2 last year

[ElNono]

Win: check
Blew away accessible opponent: check
Starters played well: check
Bench played well: check
Rested Tim and Manu for back to back: check

I guess we're going to be back to the "Kawhi shot 3-12" schtick until tomorrow's game

[Robz4000]

This game changes nothing. We still lost games against great teams, granted all of them are on the road, but still.

If they lost against the Bucks at home, then I'd be very worried. Although their record sucks, they aren't that bad; they've had one of the toughest schedules iirc.

[EVAY]

Diaw's game has fallen off a cliff.

Diaw always looks disinterested in games when there is little or nothing at stake. He is at his best when he is engaged mentally, and he is never engaged whenever there is a blow-out in either direction.

[beirmeistr]

once the new players digest the Spurs' system, the bench will be awesome---no dead weight

[TXstbobcat]

Butler!!!!!

[BatManu20]

Bonner keeps falling :lol
