Game Thread: Spurs vs Nuggets -- Sat. (12/26) - 7:30PM CST (3:30AM Riga Time)

[SPURt]

Danny Green, where assists go to die

[SAGirl]

Kawhi dominating this game ...

[HI-FI]

Totally the opposite lol
You: keep hating!
:lol i actually enjoy your obsession with him. and I'll never quit hating, it's my religion.

[SAGirl]

Jokic is getting worked out by Boban. Will have nightmares about this game.

[Kawhitstorm]

Kawhi dominating this game ...

He always beasts against the Nuggets:lol

[SAGirl]

:lol i actually enjoy your obsession with him. and I'll never quit hating, it's my religion.
:toast
Fair enough. lol

[loveforthegame]

Get Leonard back in there. ffs.

[GSH]

Bobon pins his man SO DEEP in the paint. Beast


I've been trying to tell people - he's strong. And he does his work early.

[$pursDynasty]

MVParker and Kiwi leave offense suffers again

[313]

Why did Patty pass up a three to pass to Danny...?

[beirmeistr]

Danny Green, where assists go to die
an assist graveyard?

[Silver&Black]

The Verde shooting slump continues....

:pctoss

[Kawhitstorm]

Danny should just swing the damn ball:bang

[Vokun]

Why is Danny so fukkin hesitant to shoot the 3 now? He takes that 100% in the past.


Oh, and Bobon is murdering fools :lmao

[Nathan89]

Who the fuck does Danny Green think he is? Missing 3's is one thing. Trying to become a completely different player and hesitating on 3's. ugh

[Kawhitstorm]

Why did Patty pass up a three to pass to Danny...?

Fuckin' good to great BS:downspin:

[sasaint]

Jokic is getting worked out by Boban. Will have nightmares about this game.

Probably, but I like Jokic. He really went off on us in our first encounter. He moves well for a guy his size and has great range.

[Silver&Black]

Why did Patty pass up a three to pass to Danny...?

^
This

[NASpurs]

At this point, I rather see Danny start chucking them instead of holding the ball and playing the pick and roll. He might get his rhythm back if he starts chucking but Pop will inevitably yank him out if he does this.

[timtonymanu]

Smh Danny Green. The excuses are worn out already.

[Kawhitstorm]

Who the fuck does Danny Green think he is? Missing 3's is one thing. Trying to become a completely different player and hesitating on 3's. ugh

Matt Barnes is a better offensive player at this point, tbh. Danny looks like Keith Bogans out there:lol

[HI-FI]

I'm gonna need a quantitative and epistemological breakdown from Chinook on why Green's shot is broken.

[$pursDynasty]

If Pop wants to rest TP and KL, then put LMA in and feed him

[SAGirl]

I am going to have to go silent on Kyle from now on.

People just love to troll me and I feed them.

:lmao
:bobo
:flag:

[sasaint]

Fuckin' good to great BS:downspin:

Made me hurl a virtual shoe at my TV.

[Silver&Black]

:lol Boban is the best FT shooter on the team

[Ron Swanson]

Boban into double figures.

[TXstbobcat]

Verde!!!!!!

[SAGirl]

If Pop wants to rest TP and KL, then put LMA in and feed him

He played 30 minutes and only has 12 points.

It is clear Kawhi absolutely dominated when he was in. Heck Boban, Boris and Tony had domination short spurts.

I can't say I saw Lamarcus dominate.

[Silver&Black]

Shoot the wide open 3 SloMo....FFS.

[loveforthegame]

Bad night for Anderson.

[Nathan89]

KA:lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

Who the fuck said Kyle was a better shooter than Simmons, who passes up threes? :lmao

[Vokun]

Again, Green was allowed to get that tip-in because Bobon drew two defenders to block him out. Dude is just a game changer man

[TXstbobcat]

Bobo!!!!!!!

[spurs10]

:bobo

[Kawhitstorm]

:pop: Fathead

[Silver&Black]

:lol These little fellas guarding Diaw in the paint

[Nathan89]

Bad night for Anderson.

No shit. He played tonight.

[GSH]

For a lot of this game (and last night's game) the Spurs have been lazy. Not moving without the ball. And when they do, they aren't making hard cuts. That lets the defense hawk their passing lanes, and/or forces the Spurs to make their passes wider. Angles get all fucked up and the offense can't look any way but sloppy.

[$pursDynasty]

He played 30 minutes and only has 12 points.

It is clear Kawhi absolutely dominated when he was in. Heck Boban, Boris and Tony had domination short spurts.

I can't say I saw Lamarcus dominate.
Boric will defer too much at times, LMA can be a focal point the guys in the game can't except Bobo

[Ron Swanson]

HVC is in the game. Maybe a little early for that.

[Robz4000]

:lmao Pop

[HI-FI]

Red Rocket.......it's time.

[pgardn]

Red Robot engaged.

[NASpurs]

Poop is probably shitting bricks bringing in the 3rd stringers.

[Silver&Black]

Agree....awfully early to bring the scrubs in.

[$pursDynasty]

Pop killing our point differential

[Robz4000]

This game is faaar from over. What in the fuck is Pop doing? If anything they should be putting Leonard and LMA back in.

[Kawhitstorm]

Bonner:lmao....Put West in there:bang

[$pursDynasty]

This game is faaar from over. What in the fuck is Pop doing? If anything they should be putting Leonard and LMA back in.
I knew you wouldn't say TP, lol

[NASpurs]

WTF is up with Duncan's finger? Totally red and a different shade from his hand.

[Silver&Black]

Leonard in....thank god.

[TXstbobcat]

West!!!!

[GSH]

Boric will defer too much at times


Boris passes up WAY too many wide-open shots. That one part of his game just drives me crazy. He'll pass up a great shot and they will wind up with a much worse shot.

[sasaint]

Pop apparently heard you.

[Silver&Black]

Diaw 2.0...

My nigga.

Bobo :bobo

[Ron Swanson]

Bobo!

[SAGirl]

He is. Nice hustle play by Danny, but would not have been possible without Boban calling so much attention under the rim.
Even Aldridge is not as dangerous.

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!!

[$pursDynasty]

Stat padding, just kidding

[Vokun]

Simmons on ball defense getting better every game

[Kawhitstorm]

JJ Barea 7-7 from 3:wow, AVOID the MAVs b/c that floppin' midget is a pain in that ass

[Ron Swanson]

Good to get back in the win column.

[TXstbobcat]

:flag:

[loveforthegame]

Pop grabbing the back of Leonard's braids and giving him a pat. :lol

[Silver&Black]

Spurs win 101-86 to improve to 26-6.

an assist graveyard?
That could be his nickname

[Kawhitstorm]

Porker thought the game started in the 2nd quarter & Boris decided to show up in the 4th, typical lazy Frenchies:lol

[Vokun]

Start of a new winning streak :downspin:

[Robz4000]

I knew you wouldn't say TP, lol

Patty was playing fine and Parker's 33 (and thus it takes less time for his muscles to cool down). If there was more time left in the game then yeah, I'd bring him in.

[99 Problems]

Cavs with monster 12 point first quarter. :wow

[BillMc]

Victory! :flag:

[GSH]

Boban with 4 blocks and a steal. His 10 points and 7 boards were nice, too. But those blocks show what a presence he is in the paint.

[thiste]

1st quarter Buddy, they took them lightly b/c Lillard is out.

[SAGirl]

Kyle struggled this game and he was frustrated with himself at the end. Lost in the trap and his mistakes were a few good shots he had and good defense he kept up for long stretches. He will be up and down and will struggle on occasion like tonight, the less he plays a limited role and starts to figure out what he can and cannot do. You have to put guys in situations and let them figure it out. If the don't lesson learned for another time. I didn't see him post up a single time, I think Pop let him play free and well /gulp make mistakes and he made them.

On the positive side:

Boban along with so many other guys (long list starting with Kawhi/Boris/Tony for a short spurt) were just spectacular. The rest of the guys were solid.

We got the win, that is all that matters.

[Robz4000]

Damn, looks like Bledsoe tore his ACL...

[SAGirl]

Absolutely spectacular. I think Jokic got around him one time, and after that Boban figured him out.

That's not being lazy, that's called being smart.

Knee sprain

[Kawhitstorm]

If you want to play the semantics BS then go ahead son

[SAGirl]

Probably, but I like Jokic. He really went off on us in our first encounter. He moves well for a guy his size and has great range.
I like Jokic too actually. He's looked better than Lauvergne when I have watched Denver against us, Boban just did that much of a work out on him though. I actually wonder if Diaw/West combo would have done this kind of defensive job on Jokic (and Diaw and West both were great tonight, Boban was just simply ....:wow on both ends)

[GSH]

Absolutely spectacular. I think Jokic got around him one time, and after that Boban figured him out.

What I really love is that he runs the floor, squares up on a defender, and gets his position early. And when he sets a screen, he makes sure he gets full body contact instead of letting guys just scrape around him. He works hard, and doesn't take part of any possession off. A lot of guys, when they don't feel like they're involved in the play, just become spectators. Boban is always working. Sometimes he's still not sure where he's supposed to be, and he'll be out trying to screen someone just for the hell of it. But he works his ass off.

I agree with you.
I also think Lamarcus for example doesn't set good enough screens.
I am really pleased with Boban, can clearly see why he was a premier center in Euroleague play.
I think Pop has got to love him too.
Our future rest in good hands. May he be healthy for us.

The GIANT FUNDAMENTAL! I wish he could teach LMA to do some of his work early, tbh.

[GSH]

Typical arrogant american.


LOL... oh, please. Most of the time, the word "arrogant" means anyone who doesn't acknowledge that you are superior. :lol

It was a ridiculous comment about typical lazy French, but there's no future in arguing about it. Besides, everyone knows the French aren't lazy - they just surrender too easy. :p:

It's a joke... lighten up!

Nuggets have had a bunch of random Euro bigs/wing players in the past 5 yrs: Mozgov, Kofus, Nurkic, Lauvergne, Jokic, Papanikolaou, Gallo, Fournier, Vesely, Kleiza. Rudy Fernandez

[spursistan]

1st quarter Buddy, they took them lightly b/c Lillard is out.
i know they are adjusting to Kyrie being back, but this is embarrassing..down 29 to Lillard-less Portland :lol.. they are likely going to be without HC against the GS+ Spurs in potential finals..

Yea, some of them are still playing and doing well elsewhere. Wonder why they don't keep and develop the ones they have.
I think Nurkic is injured right?

I am not sure Denver even has a plan to get better. I didn't see their draft pick tonight, was he injured?

[Kawhitstorm]

Typical arrogant american.

Greatest Country in the WORLD:king, EAT IT!!!!!!!!!!! :hat

[SASdynasty!]

Yup, he's always been inefficient in the post-season. Doesn't elevate his game like TD and Manu(legit playoff performers in their prime)
His scoring and assists have gone up in the postseason almost every year of his career.

[apalisoc_9]

Lamarcus defense has been going down and down and down the last 5 games. I wonder if that has anything to do with his offensive production. Dude seems like a guy who plays less defense when hes not involed in offense. Kinda like Houston Dwight.

[Kawhitstorm]

He shut down Towns & did a very good job protecting the rim along w/ Tim to the point where the Wolves couldn't score in the paint. He also got the chase down block on Barton after Simmons turned the ball over & Faried didn't do much besides a couple of dunks either(zero offensive rebounds).

[TheGreatYacht]

Johnny Ringo :lol dude started off as a good solid poster but now it's like watching Tayshaun Prince on the Wolves... Just sad at this point tbh

The GIANT FUNDAMENTAL! I wish he could teach LMA to do some of his work early, tbh.

LMA is a lazy player that thinks he can get away with pure talent.

Boban doesn't take things for granted and you can see that he's improving his game. Spin move was impressive.

[ceperez]

Boris passes up WAY too many wide-open shots. That one part of his game just drives me crazy. He'll pass up a great shot and they will wind up with a much worse shot.

Hate it when he passes up a open 3 point shot.

[ceperez]

He played 30 minutes and only has 12 points.

It is clear Kawhi absolutely dominated when he was in. Heck Boban, Boris and Tony had domination short spurts.

I can't say I saw Lamarcus dominate.

LMA played worse than the other bigs.... West (6 assists), Boban (same stats with half the minutes), Bobo
