[BatManu20]

At home tonight to take on an 11-19 Minnesota team who are losers of 7 of their last 9, including a 25-pt loss to us 5 days ago in Minny. Everyone is expected to play. Let's get it.

[Robz4000]

The T-Pups have been better on the road than at home this year so I expect a tougher game. No excuses to lose this one however.

I'm going to be at tonight's game with grandchildren in tow. Glad that Tim/Manu are in uniform tonight.

Visiting my dad for the holidays and he managed to snag some company tickets. If they're the ones we've had in the past, they'll just be Superbox tickets. Not amazing view-wise, but hard to complain about free tickets/food/beer.

[BatManu20]

Boban the GOAT. Should see him get some burn tonight. Looking forward to it :tu

Thats cool!! We got super box tickets a few weeks ago when I flew home to San Antonio for some games. The free DOSXX, popcorn and Barbeque sandwiches were great.

Have a great time at the game and drink lots of beer. :toast

:bang Shit, looks like we'll be seeing Turd Towers tonight... unless Pop grows a brain and plays Boban a lot...

[spursistan]

I would probably give Timmy a whole week of rest with Suns next and get him back only for Rockets on Jan 2nd.

[LakerHater]

I would probably give Timmy a whole week of rest with Suns next and get him back only for Rockets on Jan 2nd.

that sounds about right.

[LittleCriminal]

Im assuming West will start.. Hopefully Boban will be the first off the bench.

[Horse]

that sounds about right.
Hell yeah I'll be at that game.

[Emperor]

Start Boban!

[100%duncan]

I would probably give Timmy a whole week of rest with Suns next and get him back only for Rockets on Jan 2nd.

Nah would get him out of rhythm.

[spursistan]

that sounds about right.
it is a tale of two Decembers for TD :lol last season he was having to play in a couple of triple overtimes and logging bunch of high minutes games (34.5 MPG)..This year, he will be getting his fourth DNP rest game in December and is only averaging 24.8 MPG during the month..

Sorry, EVAY.

Butler is the second inactive tonight.

Butler is the second inactive tonight.

From being the first sf off the bench to being overtaken by both simmons and ka. Simmons I get but KA?

[Pauleta14]

From being the first sf off the bench to being overtaken by both simmons and ka. Simmons I get but KA?

Butler is a veteran, he doesn't need to improve.

KA is still a "project"

[Mel_13]

From being the first sf off the bench to being overtaken by both simmons and ka. Simmons I get but KA?

Pop knows what Butler can do and he's probably gone after this season. KA has a future with the team.

[From Downtown]

GO SPURS GO

[SpursFan86]

Parker and Boban were just playing one-on-one while warming up :lol

[SAGirl]

From being the first sf off the bench to being overtaken by both simmons and ka. Simmons I get but KA?

Don't act like you are surprised. It's not as if Anderson didn't have a good game against them just a few days ago, and it's not as if Pop is not giving him chances to develop. It seems Bonner is ahead if Butler in the rotation lately too, for what that is worth.

Got to love Butler though, he's always ready if they need him.

Dribble dribble dribble.

horrible start..

Well, we spotted them 10 points. Fuck.

Do we ever start a game well?

:lol if the TPups give the Spurs their first home loss

[GSH]

LMA, West, and Bonner getting up shots with Chip long before game time.


That's good to hear. Hopefully Chip wore Danny out earlier in the day.

[timtonymanu]

Isn't the Aldridge West combo statistically one of our worse? Not surprised at this shitty start.

[SAGirl]

Wow 10-0 start against the wolves.

[Ron Swanson]

No shutout!

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!

[Cry Havoc]

Kawhi with a MAN move.

FUCK VERDE. COME ON.

Leonard3333333333

[Ron Swanson]

Please stop shooting, Green. It's just not working out.

[GSH]

Well Danny hit the rim with that shot. Right? I mean, he did hit the rim.

[spursistan]

need a big Kawhi game tonight..keep bricking Danny..

[atoyotagaspedal]

automatic

[Cry Havoc]

Give Kawhi all of Green's shots. Fuck.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Any good streams?

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

TBH I think at some point, teams are gonna leave the corner open and stick to Kawhi on the wing.

[From Downtown]

KIWI

[timtonymanu]

Scrub Green

[SAGirl]

Kawhi my gosh.
:flag:

[TheGreatYacht]

Finally Kawhi. Green's faggot ass always missed open threes if Parker is the passer. Really starting to piss me off tbh and I like Danny

[Robz4000]

Fuck Parker

[Spurs_619]

We should trade Green getting cucked in the post by wiggins :lol

[spursistan]

TP isn't helping either with his dribble dribble..meanwhile our marquee FA is just an invisible out there..

[Hoops Czar]

Obviously, the heart and soul of the defense is still Tim Duncan.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Attempting to give it to the post-up player for 18 seconds while Kawhi is just chilling in the corner. Spurs have a great variety of scorers but when shots aren't falling, they have to learn to ride the best player on the team.

[Kikoluna]

I hate all the cliff jumpers 5 minutes into the game , my goodness

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I hate D-Worst with a passion :bang

[SAGirl]

He got a wide open 3 that he knocked down. West is a very willing/and good passer. It was a decoy to get Kawhi an open shot.

[RD2191]

Smh. Tf is this shit?

[TXstbobcat]

West!!!!!

[SAGirl]

I hate D-Worst with a passion :bang
Well everyone has a hate subject .. apparently or two or three.

Wiggins going off!

[TXstbobcat]

West!!

[atoyotagaspedal]

lol same play

[NASpurs]

D West is the man!

[SAGirl]

Nice play and pass by Kawhi, he got tripled teamed under the basket, got the assist to D,West twice lol

Such a scrubby ass team when Duncan doesn't play.

Kawhi that hustle!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Not forcing any turnovers...

LMAlpha finally touches the ball, but doesn't realize that Paddy is 5'9

[RD2191]

West

[ceperez]

LMA a completely inept passer.

BTW.... LMA still with zero points.

[Cry Havoc]

Man, teams really come out geared up to play us.

[Spurs_619]

Its weird how much better the ball moves without Parker on the floor.

[Robz4000]

LMA is invisible out there if he isn't fucking up

[UNT Eagles 2016]

D West is the man!

6 points scored...


8 points given up.

[RD2191]

LMA is invisible out there if he isn't fucking up
Has been all season. Underwhelming to say the least.

[timtonymanu]

Man, teams really come out geared up to play us.

We just looked absolutely terrible to start. Teams will come at you if you play lackluster

[Robz4000]

Looks like we have good Manu tonight, so far.

Play Boban. No more of that Aldridge West duo.

Boban!!!!!!

Have pointed this out plenty, but what are you going to do.... its Patty.

What did he do?

I have a feeling I'm going to be saying boban alot tonight

[cutewizard]

pls Spurs

win today

The fuck is up with bats in the Spurs arena?

Nah, he clogs the paint.

[cutewizard]

boban is the best center in the nba

[spursistan]

:lmao boban outplaying LMA

[RD2191]

Boban taking over,

[timtonymanu]

The Spurs got beat by 50 year olds Garnett and Prince. Embarrassing. Thankfully the bench evened it out.

[Robz4000]

This team can't rebound

[SAGirl]

You have to like Lavine. He was very raw last season, but the games I have seen him, he's undaunted. He's like Ok Boban, I am running full speed by past you.

[GSH]

Why do you make a behind the back bounce pass to a 7'3" guy at the 3 point line? Way too cute.

[bic50]

Boban needs to keep the ball up

[From Downtown]

What was Boban doing on that rebound :lol

[NASpurs]

The Boban Effect, energizes the team and causes havoc on both ends

[SpursIndonesia]

How can you try to slip a low bounce pass to a giant ? :bang

[bic50]

Down 1 point

[TXstbobcat]

Mills from Manu!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Nah, he clogs the paint.

The defense is noticeably worse today after we shut this same team down a couple of days ago.

[RD2191]

Patty!

[TheGreatYacht]

Great to see the good Manu :tu

[SAGirl]

Nice cut by Patty and pass by Manu.

[ceperez]

Ceperez, is this your preferred lineup?

Yup! Pretty good isn't it?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Still letting a scrub team be on pace for over 100 in our building :bang knowing this year's Spurs, that won't last, but still another pathetic start

[From Downtown]

Bench doing work

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Taking D-Worst out of the game definitely helped the defense, though. Boban did awesome except for that botched rebound that led to the and 1.

[TheRemix]

Big Bo doing his thing

[Fireball]

Still letting a scrub team be on pace for over 100 in our building :bang knowing this year's Spurs, that won't last, but still another pathetic start

I stayed away from the game thread the whole first quarter ... but I knew you would deliver

[NASpurs]

Nice cut by Patty and pass by Manu.

Because of Boban again, the defense thought Manu was going to pass it to him so they clogged up the paint while Patty all had to do was make a cut. (and shitty defense :lol)

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Did he give up all those 8 points?

8 points scored on him while he was on the court... 14 points scored on free throws or other Spurs.

[Ron Swanson]

I stayed away from the game thread the whole first quarter ... but I knew you would deliver

:lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I stayed away from the game thread the whole first quarter ... but I knew you would deliver

I'm optimistic we'll win going away tonight but still

[timtonymanu]

Hopefully this will wake up LMBeta, Porker, and Icy Green

[sasaint]

Giving up lots of points in the first quarter at home to a scrub team. Not good. We absolutely miss Timmy's D. Our invisible man LMA gets yanked in the 1st for Boban. Just wow! Although I love seeing Boban get significant floor time.

[TXstbobcat]

Boban slam!!!!

[bic50]

Bobanator

[loveforthegame]

Boban is a beast. :lol

[Ron Swanson]

Boban!

[NASpurs]

8 points scored on him while he was on the court... 14 points scored on free throws or other Spurs.

So he was the reason they gave up those 8 points? Looked to me the team came out looking like shit.

[SpursIndonesia]

Hahaha, Boban the destroyer ! :lol

[GSH]

Holy shit Boban!!! Just take it away from the guy and throw it down.

[ceperez]

Boban.... a monster!

[SAGirl]

Boban domination. wow

[urunobili]

Manu sees Prince guarding him and goes Pavlov dog on himself circa 2005...

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Boban is proof Timmy will be a good coach when he retires.

[TXstbobcat]

Mills!!!!!!

[Ron Swanson]

Boban causing the travel.

[GSH]

Boban causing the travel because nobody wants to go at him in the paint.

[sasaint]

Yup! Pretty good isn't it?

Yes, and very fun to watch!

[TXstbobcat]

Manu333333333

[NASpurs]

Manu's locked on tonight.

Boban was a good player before he came here. And you can't teach tall.

[bic50]

Simmons dunk that man

[SpursIndonesia]

Weak finish by Simmons.

[loveforthegame]

Get Leonard back in there.

[NASpurs]

Fucking T Wolves, turn into the scrub team that you are and stop making everything :lol

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Come on Simmons!

[RD2191]

Smh

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Ugh!!! Spurs need to STOP letting Minnesota but the ball through the vaginacunt :bang Get some damn STOPS! 34 points with 10 minutes left in the half is WAY too many to give up at home...

[GSH]

Boban with 6 points, 2 boards, and a block in 6 minutes.

[Fireball]

scrub moves by Simmons ...

[Robz4000]

I can't believe the amount of midrange shots they're making right now. Literally 2/3 of their points have come from it.

[ElNono]

Need 11 more pts from Manu /playerfan

[RD2191]

Fucking T Wolves, turn into the scrub team that you are and stop making everything :lol
Tbh

[urunobili]

Simmons not dunking trying to seal his fate with the team...

[spursistan]

Aldridge better wake the fuck up..what an embarrassing and soft first stanza he played in a needed game..

[SAGirl]

Makings of a trap game...
bc Wolves had already lost quite a few in a row and are playing much better defense, as the blocks on Simmons show.

They also played us a few days ago and got humiliated at home, so they are extra motivated.

And for some reason, since I don't follow them, I don't know what is up, but they have played better on the road.

We are not going to get away with slacking off on defense against them.

[ceperez]

Weak finish by Simmons.

Lane was wide open but he hesitated and the defender caught up!

[bic50]

Boban

[SAGirl]

Need 11 more pts from Manu /playerfan
Hey Nono, merry christmas!

Bobblan, nigga can't hold on to the ball. I've seen him bobble 4 or 5 times already.

Pop, or R.C., or whomever plucked Boban from Eutope appears to have hit yhe jackpot. He's just getting brtter every game.

Alllmost got an 8 second violation there. Boban got the rebound and everyone ran off an left him.
