[Johnny RIngo]

Patty killin it

[Beaverfuzz]

Great finish fuckers. :bobo

[BatManu20]

Patty!!!

[beirmeistr]

gino getting everyone involved

[bklynspursfan]

Was only a matter of time before the 2 real teams were exposed.

[timtonymanu]

Sustained a flukey start by D Bust and Kobe. Good work by the bench.

[steeledl]

Great finish to the 1st!

[bic50]

Bench bringing much needed energy

[ElNono]

bench saving this embarrassment again

[SAGirl]

Well good close of Q by the bench.
Patty 3!

[sasaint]

ray has been guarding him as well as he can, he gives up too much height.

My question is what are Danny and Kawhi doing leaving Ray on an island.

Dangelo going off too.

Actually, as poorly as Kirby is shooting this year, that may have been one of Pop's better calculated risks to start the game. I hope he sees that is a failed experiment and puts Danny on him.

[Ozballer]

Manu 3 assists, 2 points 1 rebound in 2 minutes...:ihit

[BatManu20]

LMA + Bench doing work so far

[BatManu20]

Celtics - Warriors game going to OT

[lefty20]

Bench is +10 in 2mins :lol

[keeferob25]

If only Patty could carry his show on the road smh

[SAGirl]

Actually, as poorly as Kirby is shooting this year, that may have been one of Pop's better calculated risks to start the game. I hope he sees that is a failed experiment and puts Danny on him.
Encourage him to shoot, ..... I see what he did there then.
Backfired though.

[TheDoctor]

LaMarcus 30pt game tbh

[SpurPadre]

Warriors taking the full-strength Celtics to OT without Barnes or Thompson while we barely hung on to beat them while they played without David Lee. They're unreal right now.

[steeledl]

Keep feeding the Alpha

[TheDoctor]

Celtics - Warriors game going to OT
Celtics are fcked then

[urunobili]

2nd unit...:worthy:

[Russ]

Some people on here still think Ray is better than Parker?

Some people here think that you are better than Parker . . .

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Lakers defense sucks, if Parker was playing Spurs would have 50.

[Johnny RIngo]

The Spurs best point guard comes in and the offense suddenly looks great.

dat spacing

[EVAY]

We are utterly lucky to be on top after that start.

I think that Pop showed a lot of disrespect to L.A. putting our third string pg in to start against them in a nationally televised game. And I think they took it personally.

We will win this game, I believe, but that starting unit's offense was just a mess. And poor defense.

[FkLA]

No retard... I just appreciate his greatness.

You're a fan of me-first basketball, faggot.

Fucking Sacre....

LOL, Mark Jackson trying to subtly take a jab at Kerr and Walton saying Dubs players don't need to be coached.

[BatManu20]

5 in-and-out jump shots already. Unfriendly rims

[Beaverfuzz]

[loveforthegame]

Bench struggling a bit now.

[SAGirl]

our second unit lacks rim protection bad.. just bad.

[bic50]

We should not be struggling with this lakers team :bang

[SAGirl]

2nd unit big man issues rebounding and rim protection ...

[keeferob25]

Jesus christ the defense from our PGs is terrible!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Spurs looking really lazy. West on that last play was extremely lazy on defense.

[FkLA]

Funny coming from a player fan.... Kobe has 5 titles

Your basketball takes suck. You're a trash poster.

:lol Russell is on fire...

[Beaverfuzz]

Crash the boards, nobody is getting in there.

[SAGirl]

Russel's coming out party REdux

[BatManu20]

Spurs giving the Lakers open 3's all day

[SuperCam]

Kawhobe getting outplayed by his idol, tbh

[Russ]

Warriors-Celtics double OT.

[Beaverfuzz]

Double OT, now back to the real game.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Spurs are honestly pathetic, play like you give a damn about basketball!

[Silver&Black]

Nice EuroStep Randle :lmao

[TXstbobcat]

Mills!!!!!!

[Silver&Black]

MVPatty at the rim...

My nigga.

[Kawhitstorm]

Russel's coming out party REdux

Pop chose the wrong team to rest Tony as the Lakers are guard heavy. Should have just rested Tim since Hibbert is a bum.

[TXstbobcat]

This is exactly like the game last year. Spurs with a piss poor effort.

Put us on your shoulders MVPatty....

My nigga.

[BatManu20]

Patty!

[$pursDynasty]

Spurs are honestly pathetic, play like you give a damn about basketball!
Parker is the engine of the offense, it doesn't run the same without a healthy TP

[Beaverfuzz]

Eat shit you chucker, that was a foul.

[DJR210]

Just started watching..

:lol up two

[Johnny RIngo]

A player fan would think that.... actually a compliment coming from you.

Dude, you shouldn't be accusing anyone else of being a player fan when you just called Kobe a top 5 all-time great. That's the kind of shit only Kobe fans say :lol

[HI-FI]

That wannabe Ginobili on their team seems like a faggot.

[FkLA]

Randle is like 0/10. :lol

[SpurPadre]

Parker is the engine of the offense, it doesn't run the same without a healthy TP

Yeah but we're playing the lowly Lakers. No excuse for this pathetic performance while the Dubs are playing a much better team on the road without two of their key players and in double OT.

[sasaint]

Spurs are honestly pathetic, play like you give a damn about basketball!

Per Pop, gotta respect the game. But we sure seem to forget that too often.

[BatManu20]

That new Will Ferrell - Mark Wahlberg movie looks terrible tbh

[Johnny RIngo]

Randle is like 0/10. :lol

He's garbage. No idea why Laker fans hype him up so much

[DJR210]

Randle is like 0/10. :lol

:lol another trash selection

:lol Lakers

[Silver&Black]

I don't care who wins the GS/BOS game....just don't let it go to 3OT. I just want this shit to be over....

[Silver&Black]

Kawhi...

My nigga.

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard and 1!!!!!!!

[HI-FI]

Fucking ESPN.

[Beaverfuzz]

:lol Turn it off the Celtics game when live action isn't happening. Fuckers

:bobo agrees with me.

[BatManu20]

Goddammit ESPN show the Spurs game

[steeledl]

LMAO..... this is embarrassing for the Spurs. Getting put in the background for the Warriors

[SpurPadre]

Logically, the Dubs game they'd have on the smaller game while the game they've promoted all week should be on the larger screen. LOGICALLY.

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi!

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

ESPN sucks.

[sasaint]

Timmy and now Kawhi doing his best Boris imitation.

[Silver&Black]

Do I really have to watch this small ass screen for the next 10 minutes?

Fuck you ESPN.

[TXstbobcat]

Mills!!!!!!!!!

[steeledl]

PATTY!

[TheDoctor]

Kawhi!

[SpursFan86]

Okay I get a lot of people are interested in what's going on with GS/Boston, but can you at least make the game you're broadcasting the bigger window and have the GS game in the smaller one at the top left? For fucks sake.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Sorry guys ESPN decided it's more important for us to watch the refs at the GS-Bos game.

[hitmanyr2k]

This is some shitty coverage by ESPN.

[TheDoctor]

Damn you ESPN

[Silver&Black]

:lol Patty...

[EVAY]

Nice to see Kawhi getting more aggressive. Hope to see more of it.

[TXstbobcat]

Sorry guys ESPN decided it's more important for us to watch the refs at the GS-Bos game.

Spurs get the tiny box on the top left hand side of the screen :lol

[TimDunkem]

I'm sure ESPN wouldn't be cutting into another broadcast to air a Spurs game if the Spurs were in the Warriors position. Fuck you, ESPN.

[TheDoctor]

This game is already too depressing.

[sasaint]

How many lbs did Hibbert shed? He looks svelte!

[heyheymymy]

fuck espn

[r0drig0lac]

Dray Green with a 5x5

[Silver&Black]

Please don't let this shit go to triple OT..........

[SAGirl]

Celtics pissing away that game TBH.
Show the spurs game !!!!
:bang

[BatManu20]

Mark Jackson's commentary makes my ears bleed

[Johnny RIngo]

This ESPN coverage is pathetic

[Beaverfuzz]

Ok, enough of this Warriors slob the knob-fest.

[HI-FI]

If Dubs had the smaller screen it wouldn't be that bad but this is why ESPN is such a joke.

[$pursDynasty]

Wow announcers at Spurs game calling Dubs game the ultimate in disrespect

[SAGirl]

I can barely see our game since I am on a laptop ...my god.

[Russ]

Larry Nance Jr. -- the classic crying-faced Laker . . .

[hitmanyr2k]

Why not just switch to the Warriors game completely? The commentators for the Spurs and Lakers game aren't even looking at their own game :lol

[steeledl]

lol... no love for us.

[Johnny RIngo]

Wish the Spurs offered Draymond Green that LMA contract instead.

[BatManu20]

:lol this is fucking pathetic by ESPN

[Silver&Black]

:pctoss

Watching the Spurs play on 1/10 of my TV screen...

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!!!

[Beaverfuzz]

KIWI!

[HI-FI]

I hope the Dubs streak keeps going, wear those fuckers down.

[SpurPadre]

If the Cavs were playing on ESPN now, they would NOT get this treatment.

[ElNono]

Anybody knows how the Warriors game is going? :lol

[Ron Swanson]

Dammit, Simmons

[DJR210]

Do I really have to watch this small ass screen for the next 10 minutes?

Fuck you ESPN.

Fox Sports SW?

[BatManu20]

If only Simmons had a jump shot tbh

[TimDunkem]

Practically missed all of the second quarter because of ESPN's bullshit.

[Silver&Black]

Anybody knows how the Warriors game is going? :lol

Post of the night nominee....

[Budkin]

I hope the Dubs streak keeps going, wear those fuckers down.

Me too. The longer it goes the more effort they put in to continuing it.

[BatManu20]

Anybody knows how the Warriors game is going? :lol

:lol

[sasaint]

LMA loses a 2+1 chance with the pump fake.

[Silver&Black]

Fox Sports SW?

Mississippi man....ESPN is my only option.

[SpursFan86]

Between the Spurs missing FTs and ESPN turning this into a bootleg broadcast of the GS game, I'm getting really fucking annoyed :bang

[timtonymanu]

Only up 2 :lol

[Ron Swanson]

Slowmo, the ref is not on our team. :lol

[steeledl]

Curry is so fucking good. Dude can't miss

[Beaverfuzz]

Well at least we get the second half.


Fuckers.

[SpurPadre]

On second thought, we deserve this disrespect by ESPN, struggling against the pathetic Lakers.

[100%duncan]

Fuck you bobblehead

[timtonymanu]

Don't really care that the Spurs are getting shafted. The game itself is pathetic so far.

[TimDunkem]

Lol ESPN announcers literally stopped watching the Spurs game to do a play-by-play for the Warrior's game. Wow.

[SPURt]

KA just got on Shaqtin A Fool

[TXstbobcat]

Mississippi man....ESPN is my only option.

Same problem over here I'm in Minnesota.

[EVAY]

I sure as hell hope Pop is done with his chemistry experiments with pgs. Ray, Kyle, Simmons.....man we look pathetic without Tony, Manu and/or Patty on the floor.

[SAGirl]

:pctoss

Watching the Spurs play on 1/10 of my TV screen...
I was watching that on 1/10 of a laptop screen.... barely could see anything. I saw Pop tried Anderson/Simms at the end and they had their own share of mistakes.... looking like rookies... but really I saw it ant size.

[DMC]

This time of season in the NBA really sucks for quality ball. Everyone out there is playing like it's a warm up, no one seems to give a shit.

[SpurPadre]

I live in the Bay Area and the ESPN announcers are more into the Dubs game than the local announcers here and somehow, I see more information on ESPN's screen than the local broadcast.

[TXstbobcat]

I was watching that on 1/10 of a laptop screen.... barely could see anything. I saw Pop tried Anderson/Simms at the end and they had their own share of mistakes.... looking like rookies... but really I saw it ant size.

Glad I don't have to watch this one on my iPad

For what? Missed it cause of ESPN's shitty coverage

[steeledl]

We really struggle without Parker.

[DMC]

I was watching that on 1/10 of a laptop screen.... barely could see anything. I saw Pop tried Anderson/Simms at the end and they had their own share of mistakes.... looking like rookies... but really I saw it ant size.

Simmons cannot run and dribble.

I don't care for these lineups at all. Pop doesn't give a shit, he's using this game as a teaching tool.

[Silver&Black]

"Trade Parker" they said :lol

Getting clapped by D'Bust lmfao pathetic

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Warriors are lucky, they aren't repeating. Boston choked.

[steeledl]

24-0... that's fucking incredible.

[TXstbobcat]

wtf

[hitmanyr2k]

Did the Spurs and Lakers go to halftime already?

[HI-FI]

ESPN will probably cut away from Spurs game to show Dubs' locker room interviews.

[SAGirl]

http://i.imgur.com/RoN5yym.png
:lmao
Love you!
:flag:

[steeledl]

Draymond Green or Kawhi?

[SpursFan86]

Did the Spurs and Lakers go to halftime already?

Wait the Spurs/Lakers are playing right now? I wouldn't know, been too busy watching the GS/Boston game on ESPN.

[SpurPadre]

Well, THAT is a REAL fucking team. I guess we'll have to wait til the Rodeo Trip before we aspire to be near their level.

[Johnny RIngo]

Warriors are lucky, they aren't repeating. Boston choked.

lol, they look much better than any other team in the league right now and you call them lucky.

[TheDoctor]

Lol ESPN announcers literally stopped watching the Spurs game to do a play-by-play for the Warrior's game. Wow.

For realz :lmao

[SAGirl]

Simmons cannot run and dribble.

I don't care for these lineups at all. Pop doesn't give a shit, he's using this game as a teaching tool.
Maybe these kids need that sad to say.
We have our own Drussell and Randle.
Manu retires and its going to be these two.
Maybe I am being hopeful bc I saw them ant-sized.
:toast

[FkLA]

Draymond Green or Kawhi?

steeledl or feces?

[TheGreatYacht]

Draymond Green or Kawhi?
Draymond. And it's not even close, anyone who disagrees clearly swallows on cum

[Budkin]

Meanwhile the Spurs are completely shitting the bed. Up two at home to the Lakers? Embarrassing.

[steeledl]

Well, THAT is a REAL fucking team. I guess we'll have to wait til the Rodeo Trip before we aspire to be near their level.

[TheDoctor]

Did the Spurs and Lakers go to halftime already?
I dunno about that, but I surely know the Warriors won

[Johnny RIngo]

Draymond Green or Kawhi?

Draymond Green or LMA is a better question. Kawhi is actually playing great this year

[$pursDynasty]

I feel so disrespected but we are playing the Lakers

[TXstbobcat]

ESPN is canceling their coverage of the 2nd half of the Spurs game to broadcast a preview of golden state vs Milwaukee

[steeledl]

Draymond Green or LMA is a better question. Kawhi is actually playing great this year

They are both great players... that is why I asked.

[spursistan]

Our D has slipped last couple of games

[steeledl]

damn we are getting clowned all over twitter and reddit.... smh. espn made an ass of us.

[BatManu20]

675521005989847041

[spurs10]

Hopefully the team will come back pissed off and turn it on! :ihit

[SAGirl]

Anyone thinks Pop makes adjustments?

We do have a challenging game tomorrow.

[keeferob25]

Our D has slipped last couple of games

Our perimeter D across the board has been terrible. No fighting through picks or screens...opposing guards have gotten whatever and wherever they wanted far more than normal.

[TheDoctor]

ESPN is canceling their coverage of the 2nd half of the Spurs game to broadcast a preview of golden state vs Milwaukee
LMAO
Highlights from last year H2H matchups

[SpurPadre]

Who's embarrassing us more: ESPN or the Spurs' 1st half play?

[SAGirl]

Well halftime show of course went to Bos/GSW.

[Reck]

Anyone thinks Pop makes adjustments?

We do have a challenging game tomorrow.

Force all the starters to sit and watch from bench and see the Lakers win by 20.

[LongtimeSpursFan]

I'm at a sports bar and more people were watching the end of Warriors game than Spurs game.

[sasaint]

Although the GS box score was not what I expected, it was pretty interesting. They played a terrible game and figured out a way to win even without Klay. I wish I could have said the same of the Spurs in a couple of our losses. Of course, Walton played Dray and Steph like it was game 7 of the Finals.

[TheDoctor]

Spurs flying under the radar so hard

[SAGirl]

Who's embarrassing us more: ESPN or the Spurs' 1st half play?
Can't say our 1st half play. We rested guys and had what really are a rook and inexperienced 2nd player, and Ray.

This is not the worst.

[Johnny RIngo]

They are both great players... that is why I asked.

And Aldridge is playing far from great making his signing seem questionable. Hence why I asked if it would have been smarter from the Spurs perspective to go after an actual good player like Draymond instead of chasing after a soft big like Aldridge who's made a career out of choking in the post-season.

[DMC]

Pop is trying to give this game to the Lakers to keep the away from Simmons. Byron will out tank him in the 3rd.

[SpurPadre]

ESPN might as well cut to another dumbass Trump soundbite over us in the 3rd quarter, tbh.

[Reck]

Although the GS box score was not what I expected, it was pretty interesting. They played a terrible game and figured out a way to win even without Klay. I wish I could have said the same of the Spurs in a couple of our losses. Of course, Walton played Dray and Steph like it was game 7 of the Finals.

Actually they got bailed out several times by Isiah Thomas.

Celtics had this game won like 2 times over.

[keeferob25]

Who's embarrassing us more: ESPN or the Spurs' 1st half play?

What's funny is the latter justifies the former, but everyone here is up in arms. This game is terrible...that game was GREAT! We all know deep down this was NEVER a game worthy of being televised...lakers have been trash for 3 years now so i don't blame them. Hell we should be thankful they gave us the tiny corner of the screen they did lol

[DMC]

And Aldridge is playing far from great making his signing seem questionable. Hence why I asked if it would have been smarter from the Spurs perspective to go after an actual good player like Draymond instead of chasing after a soft big like Aldridge who's made a career out of choking in the post-season.

No. Draymond just won a ring. You will have a hard time bringing a guy like that away from his ball club. LMA left on his own, hasn't won shit, and he's not a power house. He has more of a finesse game and many don't get that.

[Budkin]

Spurs flying under the radar so hard

So hard they're gonna lose to one of the worst teams in the league.

[TheDoctor]

Who's embarrassing us more: ESPN or the Spurs' 1st half play?
Spurs hands down....















Man down.

[SAGirl]

I wish I could have said the same of the Spurs in a couple of our losses. Of course, Walton played Dray and Steph like it was game 7 of the Finals.
It just lets you know who the real MVP of that team is and the 2nd best player. The rest are roleplayers of a high caliber, but without Currry/Dray the are obviously like the Celtics or any other good scrappy team, missing an ingredient.

Steph for MvP is no joke.

[SpurPadre]

Can't say our 1st half play. We rested guys and had what really are a rook and inexperienced 2nd player, and Ray.

This is not the worst.

Warriors were missing Klay and Barnes on the road against a good team. No excuses. This is very embarrassing.

[Silver&Black]

Surprised the assist of the night didn't go to Steph Curry....

[bic50]

thegreattranny fake fan

[$pursDynasty]

I am sure Van Grundy and Jackson will break down Warriors post game interviews during the 2nd half

[DMC]

I heard the Baby Elephant Walk by Mancini and thought maybe Blair was back.

[HI-FI]

Ugh, not this faggot.

[sasaint]

What's funny is the latter justifies the former, but everyone here is up in arms. This game is terrible...that game was GREAT!

Truth!

Who's embarrassing us more: ESPN or the Spurs' 1st half play?

Spurs. Should be up twenty on this garbage team

[TXstbobcat]

Kobe. :lmao

[steeledl]

Smart move by pop going to Simmons to start the 2nd.

[Ron Swanson]

Hahaha Kobe T'd up

[Silver&Black]

:lmao Technical on the rapist

[steeledl]

Kobe has a right to be upset there.

[Ron Swanson]

Fuck his farewell tour, Sean.

[hitmanyr2k]

Kawhi getting the DPOY treatment lol.

[Silver&Black]

:worthy: 14,000 misses

[BatManu20]

:lol Kobe T'd up after the blatant foul Kawhi. Love it

[$pursDynasty]

For a minute there I thought Kobe intimidated the refund into a foul call

[SpurPadre]

that was a foul

[TheDoctor]

Lol Simmons over Danny

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!
