Game Thread: Spurs @ Raptors -- Wed. (12/9) - 6:30PM CST (2:30AM Riga Time)

[loveforthegame]

Lowry eating Green's lunch.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!!!!

[SAGirl]

MVP Lowry got this!

[urunobili]

Verde funk...

[313]

Lowry, what a beast. Most improved player this year?

[spurtech09]

The refs.....are you kidding

[SpurPadre]

Spurs are playing sloppy...and Raps are making lucky shots.

They're legit. They're the only team who can legitimately say they should've beaten the Dubs twice this season.

[Budkin]

16-2 points off TOs

[Dex]

Kawhi benched for Simmons. :wow

[Silver&Black]

11 turnovers already.....smh

[TheGreatYacht]

Duncan's lobs keep getting worse and worse :lmao

Poop lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Can someone tell Tim to stop trying lobs in traffic:sleep

[NASpurs]

What ever happened to posting up (especially with guys like Scola and Patterson guarding Duncan and Aldridge)? Why are the Spurs running this guard-heavy offense?

[dabom]

Our point guards are getting shit on.

[FkLA]

Why don't they go to Kawhi in the post anymore? smh

[spurtech09]

Not spurs night

[TXstbobcat]

LMA!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

They're legit. They're the only team who can legitimately say they should've beaten the Dubs twice this season.

In the regular season. Two playoff years in a row, they have lost in the first round with HCA.

[SAGirl]

Tim is really looking old and slow this game....

[Texas_Ranger]

fuck you green you useless shit

[Johnny RIngo]

Wish we had a point guard like Lowry instead of that choke artist Frenchman

[r0drig0lac]

fuck danny

[loveforthegame]

Why don't they go to Kawhi in the post anymore? smh

Makes too much sense. Especially since he was being doubled. Much better to park him on the 3 point line.

[spurtech09]

The refs up to there old tricks tonight.

[BatManu20]

Raptors are shooting it at a high clip. The law of averages should begin to set in the 2nd half

[ElNono]

hard to believe it's just a 10 point game

[timtonymanu]

I don't think the Spurs have it tonight. If Simmons is our top 2 performers right now, we don't deserve a W.

[Kawhitstorm]

Raptors being ultra aggressive like the Heatles defense, have to attack them w/ cuts. Welp, Danny blew a layup:lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Expecting Green to finish near the rim :lol fucker used two hands to lay it up earlier

[Dex]

Spurs playing sloppy as crap. This game is gonna get away from them if they don't get it together real quick. Toronto has confidence and is hitting their shots while the Spurs have forgotten how to pass, dribble, and make layups.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs missing everything

[urunobili]

Verse Punk...

[NASpurs]

Duncan, Leonard, or Aldridge, post them up ffs... they're being guarded by midgets.

[spurtech09]

Things are not going good tonight for the spurs....They look sloppy tonight.....

[bklynspursfan]

Last year we were cold as ice in Toronto too. We just look out of whack offensively with the starters out there. No one is playing well. Pop may need to get the 2nd unit out there to close out the half and hope they come out with better energy in the 3rd

[ceperez]

Kawhi obviously was really sick, it was no kidding to sit him against the 76ers.

He's obviously out of whack right now. Maybe shouldn't even be playing.

[spurtech09]

Duncan, Leonard, or Aldridge, post them up ffs... they're being guarded by midgets.True power them up.

[SAGirl]

Kawhi benched for Simmons. :wow
He has no energy. It's clear he was sick, not CIA Pop to sit him against Raptors.

Simmons is the only one making quick decisions there. Everyone else is loafing around.

[FkLA]

Makes too much sense. Especially since he was being doubled. Much better to park him on the 3 point line.

Have to accommodate for Rique since he's playing semi decent these past few weeks.

MVPorker :cry

[Nathan89]

Great now Simmons is going to want a max contract.

[Kawhitstorm]

Raptors are shooting it at a high clip. The law of average should begin to set in the 2nd half

They're shooting 53% which isn't abnormally high esp. when they are getting easy baskets off turnovers. It the Spurs that can't get into their offensive sets b/c the Raptors are pressuring the ball handlers

[TXstbobcat]

LMA!!!!!!!!!

[Silver&Black]

LMA...

My nigga.

[bic50]

Lasharkus

[BatManu20]

Nice High-Low by Timmy and LMA there

[Keepin' it real]

The refs up to there old tricks tonight.

The whiners, too.

[TXstbobcat]

Lowery hurt?????

[Silver&Black]

Green slapped that nigga in the face....

My nigga.

[spurtech09]

Lowery got his eye fouled I guess.

[NASpurs]

Probably should had left Duncan, Ginobili and Leonard on the bench tonight again.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Is anyone shocked we look like shit when amuseddaysleeper made the game day thread?

[SpurPadre]

In the regular season. Two playoff years in a row, they have lost in the first round with HCA.

That was then. I'm just talking about what they're doing this season and it looks promising for them.

[dabom]

Green slapped that nigga in the face....

My nigga.

Doing the dirty work. :lmao

[ElNono]

Gotta finish the job, Danny... lacerated cornea next time, please

[Budkin]

Every time we play an injured team this happens. The Spurs just waltz in thinking they can just win the game without giving any effort. It's really frustrating

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!!!!

[Silver&Black]

Don't quote me dabom....ever.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Fucking pathetic :pctoss

[NASpurs]

Simmons the foul magnet.

[spurtech09]

Spurs need to pick up there D.

[timtonymanu]

That was then. I'm just talking about what they're doing this season and it looks promising for them.

Yeah I'm not sure I agree. They looked promising both seasons but when the playoffs came, they were overwhelmed. They are what they are.

[Texas_Ranger]

why do they love to jump on this fadeaways so much. Just put your arms up.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!

[TheGreatYacht]

DeRozan killing us. Wish we had a SF like that

[NASpurs]

Hey posting up works, who would have thought that...

[BatManu20]

Timmyyy

[timtonymanu]

Every time we play an injured team this happens. The Spurs just waltz in thinking they can just win the game without giving any effort. It's really frustrating

Toronto is young and athletic as well. Spurs always suck against those kind of teams.

[Kawhitstorm]

Simmons learned the hard way not to bite on DeRozans pump fakes:toast

[timtonymanu]

Hey posting up works, who would have thought that...

Clearly we needed more dribble dribble or LMA 3 point shots

[vander]

refs loving the spurs tonight

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!!!!

[Silver&Black]

MVParker...

My nigga.

:wow Only down by 4

[spurtech09]

Manu!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Kawhitstorm]

Hey posting up works, who would have thought that...

The answer to pressure defense is postups & cuts

[TXstbobcat]

Manu333333333

[loveforthegame]

Manu!

[Silver&Black]

Manu tres!!!

Mi negro.

[ElNono]

esunmanutres

[BatManu20]

Manuuuuu

[Russ]

It's official:

Simmons is in the rotation!

:flag:

[r0drig0lac]

scrub rozan go off

[SAGirl]

I believe he said he wanted to play only one more season during the offseason
He's then hoping to go with Timmy and Manu.
Red Rocket coattailing.:tu

[TheGreatYacht]

Getting killed by an African shot blocker... Lmao

[Spur|n|Austin]

Can Pop please bench Danny until he gets over himself and re-learns how to play basketball?

[timtonymanu]

Excited to see how Simmons and KA both progress next season.

[Kawhitstorm]

Probably should had left Duncan, Ginobili and Leonard on the bench tonight again.

I think he's resting Kawhi for the 2nd half since he's on minute limits tonight. Would rather play Simmons in the 1st half than 4th quarter.

[spurtech09]

The whiners, too.So are the Trolls....

[TheGreatYacht]

Can Pop please bench Danny until he gets over himself and re-learns how to play basketball?
Simmons stepping up at the right moment :tu

[ElNono]

freebies getting ridiculous

[spurtech09]

another BS foul

[NASpurs]

I would rather see Bobo guarding Patterson and LMA moving to the 5 tonight.

[Kawhitstorm]

LMA has to go to work on Patterson :wakeup

[NASpurs]

I would rather see Bobo guarding Patterson and LMA moving to the 5 tonight.

nvm :lol

[heyheymymy]

:lobt2::flag:

[Spurs 4 The Win]

What the fuck is with these refs

[spurtech09]

Raps with there fluke shots and the refs with the BS foul calls.

[TheGreatYacht]

That DPOY trophy slowly leaving San Antonio....

[SpurPadre]

Sometimes we can't close quarters for shit.

[SAGirl]

Duncan, Leonard, or Aldridge, post them up ffs... they're being guarded by midgets.
Pop's coaching this game is ...

:depressed

[spurtech09]

What the fuck is with these refsI know.

[weeks]

that 'elite' spurs D
smh

[Kawhitstorm]

Why in the fuck in LMA parked in the corner when Diaw is at the 3 point line?:bang

[ElNono]

hope Pop lits up a fire on their asses

[Robz4000]

Spurs look so shitty

[TheGreatYacht]

Hate when there's huge Argentinan followings... Hero mode for a certain someone

[ceperez]

I hate it when Manu tries to force a shot.

[BatManu20]

Considering our performance, being down by 7 really isn't bad. Gotta play with a lot more energy and alertness the second half

[Kawhitstorm]

CoJo keeping the Spurs in the game (1-5, -1):lol

[Johnny RIngo]

LMBeta playing soft as fuck tonight

[Silver&Black]

Raptors lead 53-46 at the half...

http://i.imgur.com/GkKGKA6.png

[urunobili]

14 FT for the dinosaurs...

[spurtech09]

All around bad performance tonight..Spurs better pick there game up in the 3rd quarter.

[keeferob25]

The Raptors are too quick and decisive in their movement for our defense tonight.

[Texas_Ranger]

if only our bigs had some balls and post up.

[Kawhitstorm]

Tim w/ ZERO rebounds yet again

[SpursFan86]

Had a feeling DeRozan would pick tonight to not play like an inefficient chucking scrub :lol

[timtonymanu]

LMBeta playing soft as fuck tonight

:lol Some actually thought he was a better player than Kawhi. Even Duncan >>>

[SPURt]

Toronto is going to regret not getting a bigger lead. I doubt the second half is this bad.

[RD2191]

Spurs getting exposed on the road per usual. Smh trade LMA. Shoot Bonner. Blow it up.

[Kawhitstorm]

Had a feeling DeRozan would pick tonight to not play like an inefficient chucking scrub :lol

He was rubbing his hands when he heard Kawhi was ill

[spurtech09]

Considering our performance, being down by 7 really isn't bad. Gotta play with a lot more energy and alertness the second halfadd the fact the refs are giving freebies to the Raps.

[Hoops Czar]

Athletic teams can score at will against the Spurs.

[TheGreatYacht]

Had a feeling DeRozan would pick tonight to not play like an inefficient chucking scrub :lol
Bubble guts defending him has something to do with that

[Kawhitstorm]

14 FT for the dinosaurs...

DeRozan is one of the league leaders in FTA along w/ Lowry

[SpurPadre]

Good thing CoJo isn't playing well.

[NASpurs]

Pop's coaching this game is ...

:depressed
This game reeks of New Orleans when it was obvious Ryan Anderson shouldn't had been guarded by Duncan, Aldridge or Bobo but rather by Kawhi or at least KA. Took Pop until the fourth quarter to realize that.

[look_at_g_shred]

7 points..feels like 20 tbh

[Kawhitstorm]

LMBeta playing soft as fuck tonight

This might be one of the few games where the Diaw/West frontline might be a better option than Tim/LMA

[SAGirl]

Yeah I'm not sure I agree. They looked promising both seasons but when the playoffs came, they were overwhelmed. They are what they are.
I think they rely on Lowry too much, and if he has a bad night or a bad game (in the past postseason he was hobbled like Tony pretty much and was inefficient), they don't have others to step up.

I don't follow the team at all, but I think they are missing one more guy, possibly a quality big to help them.

[lofds]

11 turnovers and no points for Kawhi. They can only fix this in the second half one would think.

[Nathan89]

if only our bigs had some balls and post up.

LMA is soft. Duncan is saving himself for the playoffs.

[Kawhitstorm]

I don't follow the team at all, but I think they are missing one more guy, possibly a quality big to help them.

Jonas (their starting center) broke his hand & Carroll (their starting SF) is also out.

[SpurPadre]

I think they rely on Lowry too much, and if he has a bad night or a bad game (in the past postseason he was hobbled like Tony pretty much and was inefficient), they don't have others to step up.

I don't follow the team at all, but I think they are missing one more guy, possibly a quality big to help them.

Well, they do have a few injuries to some key players.

[Kawhitstorm]

11 turnovers and no points for Kawhi. They can only fix this in the second half one would think.

Toronto blew their chance to get a 15+ point lead

[Neurosis]

Couldn't watch the game, why the hell is Kawhi on 1 FGA?!

[look_at_g_shred]

11 turnovers and no points for Kawhi. They can only fix this in the second half one would think.
The points maybe. The to's? Don't count on it. This game has one of those feels..like we're about to get blown out if we don't go on a run to start the 3rd.

[look_at_g_shred]

Pop looks ready and willing to concede by the way.

[midnightpulp]

Meh. Gonna probably wind up being a burn the tape game. Kawhi's cold, for whatever reason, has turned him into a scrub for tonight.

[look_at_g_shred]

You can see how reliant this team has become on KL's offense this season.

[TheGreatYacht]

Couldn't watch the game, why the hell is Kawhi on 1 FGA?!
Because he forgot how to dribble.

[weeks]

Pop looks ready and willing to concede by the way.
after the Philly beatdown he's probably salivating for a loss, an embarrassing loss, the absolute fucker

[keeferob25]

This is also a game where our being weak in drawing foul shots hurts us too.

[BatManu20]

674642018253930497

[SpurPadre]

It would be nice to have a come from behind win from the team on the road. Haven't seen them do that in a long time.

[Budkin]

Was browsing the Raptors forums earlier and most of their fans thought we'd blow them out of the water tonight considering their injuries. We all know better.

[ElNono]

Hopefully Kawhi's diarrhea is under control and he can play better in the 2nd half...

[MAxEric]

I don't think Spurs will win tonight by this poor performance!!

[spurtech09]

Was browsing the Raptors forums earlier and most of their fans thought we'd blow them out of the water tonight considering their injuries. We all know better.
Trap game.....

[RD2191]

Hopefully Kawhi's diarrhea is under control and he can play better in the 2nd half...
:stirpot:

[RD2191]

Trap game my ass. Spurs sliding to pretender status if they keep losing to average teams on the road.

[Johnny RIngo]

:lol Some actually thought he was a better player than Kawhi. Even Duncan >>>

I remember one dude comparing his arrival in SA to Lakers acquiring Shaq back in '96 :lol

[AFMadison]

Where is Boban?

[spurtech09]

Could be worse....Spurs are still in the game.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs getting exposed on the road per usual. Smh trade LMA. Shoot Bonner. Blow it up.

You called it. CoJo outplaying our PGs right now. :lol

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Spurs have to many turnovers .

[Ice009]

This is also a game where our being weak in drawing foul shots hurts us too.

Thanks for bringing that up. That is very true. I've said it before, it really puts the team at a disadvantage when you're on the road and can't draw any fouls. If I was coaching, my philosophy would be to try and get to the foul line more than the home team when you're playing on the road. Not drawing fouls makes it very hard to try and play a precision game all the time just to win a game on the road.

[spurtech09]

Danny Green with the ugly shot.....

[SAGirl]

Kawhi -17
Simmons +10
That kind of unusual game.

[r0drig0lac]

Kawhi playing like shit today

[Kawhitstorm]

WTF is Danny doing, Tim had his man sealed:bang

[Kawhitstorm]

Danny Green with the ugly shot.....

Faggy Green

[RD2191]

You called it. CoJo outplaying our PGs right now. :lol
Well not hard to do. :lol

[313]

Trap game my ass. Spurs sliding to pretender status if they keep losing to average teams on the road.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!!!!

[SAGirl]

Pop at least made adjustments posting up TD.
:flag:

[313]

Mills for Cojo, do it RC

[spurtech09]

Thanks for bringing that up. That is very true. I've said it before, it really puts the team at a disadvantage when you're on the road and can't draw any fouls. If I was coaching, my philosophy would be to try and get to the foul line more than the home team when you're playing on the road. Not drawing fouls makes it very hard to try and play a precision game all the time just to win a game on the road.Spurs are getting knocked around.....no calls...whats the point...

[RD2191]

Fuuuuuuuccckkkkkkkk

[BatManu20]

4 missed shots in one possession. Sweet

[steeledl]

Yo, what's wrong with Kawhi tonight? Injured?

[spurtech09]

Spurs can't even make a easy shot?

[Kawhitstorm]

LMA has no fuckin touch at the rim:bang

[RD2191]

Crofl. 4 missed shots.

[NASpurs]

Holy fuck the starters...

[Silver&Black]

:lol Just a great start to the 3rd

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Kawhi is sick. What's Tony's excuse?

[01Snake]

Piss poor. Another road loss on the way

[heyheymymy]

wow 4 tries and can't score?

[ElNono]

Yo, what's wrong with Kawhi tonight? Injured?

He has the shits, IMO

[TheGreatYacht]

This is fucking embarrassing. Is Boban in a suit for Bonner?

[Silver&Black]

Yo, what's wrong with Kawhi tonight? Injured?

Still got the shits...

[RD2191]

Geezus. What a shitfest.

[spurtech09]

How many times did the spurs get fouled and no calls? Might as well pack it in.....Refs in the fix.

[Kawhitstorm]

I'm convinced the entire starting line up is hungover

[SpurPadre]

I think I see a white flag peeking out of Pop's pocket...smh.

[RD2191]

Kawhi is sick. What's Tony's excuse?
Cancer

[spursistan]

This is embarrassing stuff..just roll with the bench..

[SAGirl]

Wow Scola beating Kawhi in the open court.

Kawhi really needed to sit this one out... Maybe just play him 5 mins each half instead.

Kawhi -20 right now.

Simmons was looking like a star compared to Kawhi.

[Robz4000]

:lol just play the bench. Starters have nothing.

[TheGreatYacht]

Yo, what's wrong with Kawhi tonight? Injured?
Stomach Ache. Dude has no pain tolerance lmao

[steeledl]

Sigh, Danny Green sucks .

[RD2191]

Kawhi should just shit on the court and walk off the floor.

[NASpurs]

:lol just play the bench. Starters have nothing.

I rather see Boban, Anderson, Bobo, Mills and Simmons play the whole second half.

[Johnny RIngo]

:lol Porker and LMBeta so shitty tonight. They must think it's a playoff game. Spurs are playing with fire relying on two historic post-season choke artists as their number 2 and number 3 scorers

[Nathan89]

Green's shot:depressed

[Kawhitstorm]

How many times did the spurs get fouled and no calls? Might as well pack it in.....Refs in the fix.

The Raptors are the aggressor & usually refs let aggressive teams off the hook. In any case the Spurs aren't going up strong. Need Simmons/Boban to shown them how to finish at the rim.

[dabom]

Wow Scola beating Kawhi in the open court.

Kawhi really needed to sit this one out... Maybe just play him 5 mins each half instead.

Kawhi -20 right now.

Simmons was looking like a star compared to Kawhi.

Fuck your stupid shit. We win or lose with Kawhi. First not so great game by Kawhi and you lose confidence in him?

[TXstbobcat]

LMA!!!!!!!!

[RD2191]

Stomach Ache. Dude has no pain tolerance lmao
Not everyone can take 10 inch dicks like yourself

[BatManu20]

LMA's gotta take over.

[Beaverfuzz]

Quit being a bunch of whiney biotches.

[NASpurs]

Wow another post up. I swear Poop is mentally retarded sometimes.

[BatManu20]

Not everyone can take 10 inch dicks like yourself

:lol

[RD2191]

Trade DG tbh

[BatManu20]

My God Danny Green

[NASpurs]

Speaking of retarded, nice foul Kawhi...

[Russ]

Spurs are rushing shots, not stepping into them.

[Beaverfuzz]

Verde got the paycheck, sold away his soul.

[weeks]

wrecked by scola
blow it up

[TheGreatYacht]

Scola and-one off the dribble thanks to Kiwi :lol

[SpursFan86]

Take Kawhi out, no point in him playing tonight

[spursistan]

Danny Green in your classic "got paid" guy year...

[spurtech09]

Cancer

Really dude.....there is people suffering from cancer bro....not cool at all....

[SAGirl]

kawhi no sense of urgency.

I swear our third String unit agains the 76ers played like the game was on the line until the end.

The SL sucking bad.

[Kawhitstorm]

Accuracy goes down when you're hungover

[RD2191]

Kawhi got that superchorro.

[01Snake]

Danny Green SUCKS!

[NASpurs]

Holy shit Green, go back to the Dleague.

[Ice009]

Spurs are getting knocked around.....no calls...whats the point...

The point is, they've got a reputation of not drawing fouls or getting to the free throw line. Why should the refs give them free throws when playing soft.

[TXstbobcat]

Verde got the paycheck, sold away his soul.

Another verde missed 3. :lmao

[Johnny RIngo]

LMA's gotta take over.

Worked so well for Portland with their numerous first round exits. If your team needs LMA to take over, you're fucked

[RD2191]

Really dude.....there is people suffering from cancer bro....not cool at all....
I'm a survivor so fuck it. And it's just a joke, lighten up.

[lefty20]

Spurs need elite 3pt shooting. Get Green out of there
