Clear the fuck out for Kawhi, tbh..need a 5x5 game to have a chance..Gallinari is out but Faried is back..LMA better man up on the glass..

This is the type of game we got LMA for. He and Kawhi shall deliver.

Meh game. Even if they win by 50, still means shit if they can't play basketball against the fucking Rockets.

[Fireball]

Good point. That shit last night was unbearable ...

[spurs10]

Meh game. Even if they win by 50, still means shit if they can't play basketball against the fucking Rockets. I wouldn't want to be a Houston fan or player when they meet again. We played horrible and they beat us by 4. Rockets will be lucky to be a 7 seed. Revenge on 1/2. I'm more concerned with tonight with the Denver Kindbuds on 3 days rest and us still dragging. A Christmas Day b2b is rough.

I would be fine if this ''bad games'' don't alway happen against better teams. It's clear that the Spurs are much better than the mid table and scrub teams, but as soon as they face a top 6-8 team they start looking bad. It reminds me of the 13/14, but lets just hope it ends like that season.

I'm guessing that's why Pop isn't resting Tony tonight. Not worried about anyone this year. The team to beat are the champs. We need to take it back!

[Silver&Black]

We only lost the Rockets game because my nigga BatManu20 didn't make the game thread...

The biggest factors: our bench got outscored and we threw away the ball lazily too much. Empty possessions for us: 2 points the other way.

Parker also never showed up and Duncan was awful until his final stint in the fourth.

To be fair to him, everyone was awful except Kawhi.

The thing I take solace in is that we haven't been blown out even once. All the losses have been right there but for execution and a little luck.

ISO! ISO!! ISO!!! You see what happens when teams are expecting Kawhi to take the shot at the end of games, two of the ugliest looking shots you'll ever see. The nigga couldn't even drive past Capella to get to the rim. He had to shoot an ugly ass fade away that had no chance of falling.

Boris for sure leading this crew. He's the man.

Jokic can't handle him.

Boban fighting here lol

Not if this guy has something to say about it: :pop:

Boban hungry, Boban want eat

[GSH]

Should have. I don't remember seeing anderson either.


I was calling for it on the game thread, but I guess Pop wasn't listening. :lol

I would have liked to see him in there last night. I think he could have gotten us some points during those dry spells. That's all it would have taken.

[BD24]

That's okay. He nails free throws!
I agree its great. You can just see the frustration on their face, like "fuck, guess I'll just foul this big motherfucker".

[Nathan89]

Refs always canceling out our guys great defensive plays with some bullshit foul call. Just calling fouls because they think it was likely.

[SAGirl]

Pop's a fucking moron not playing Boban against the Rockets and other similar built teams.
I actually do think we should be playing Boban more. He's been getting used to the NBA and improving every time we see him. Pop probably doesn't want to sacrifice the vets as much, but he's been good in his opportunities.

[GSH]

He doesn't lead the team in PER for nothing; it's not fluke like Bonner's plus/minus BS:lol


Hell no! Did you see him run the floor and get position early. He's a hard worker and smart player.

[NASpurs]

:lmao Boban

[Kawhitstorm]

Man Pop really needs to look at playing Boban against teams with big frontcourts such as the Rockets.

:pop:You are talking about the same guy who refused to play Tiago when McDyess was getting raped & refused to play CoJo/Patty when Porker was playing like the worst player in last season postseason.

[loveforthegame]

Boban is so much fun to watch.

[Cry Havoc]

THIS BOBAN DUDE.

[Ron Swanson]

Boban with the spin move.

Watch out Bobo....Boban might become my new favorite Spur.

[BD24]

Can you guys imagine how frustrated Dwight would get playing against Boban. That mentally weak POS would get a tech for sure.
