Game Thread: Spurs vs Suns -- Wed. (12/30) - 7:30PM CST (3:30AM Riga Time

[Mnky]

I read that. I thought to make a thread about it, but I had already started two, and din't want to seem like I was spamming.

I had heard that before from TP. It is a real thing. I remember last December when everyone was extremely overplayed in those triple OT game, there was a Dec. game against the Mavs that Pop played only 8 guys, including the rookie Anderson, the scrubs Ayers and Daye.... Guess who was the one guy leading that crew? Diaw, played like 30 mins.

At that point I thought, yea Pop is keeping Diaw in a real work-out schedule.

Must be working. He is looking super quick tonight. I honestly haven't seen him look that quick in a spurs uniform before. With 3 Turnovers already, I guess he isn't used to being that quick either. :lol

[GSH]

Damn... Boban with 6 boards and a block? And it seemed like he was so quiet, compared to last game.

[cutewizard]

Fuck tony

[100%duncan]

Lol parker

Tony ballhog

[loveforthegame]

[cutewizard]

44 20 lol

[cutewizard]

Ay yay yay

[DPG21920]

Look at Parkers DEFENSE!!

[SAGirl]

Danny dribbling almost the entire shot clock... bad.

[cutewizard]

Shit

[cutewizard]

Get tony out

[cutewizard]

Play ray

[SAGirl]

Danny in a bad note ATM.

[cutewizard]

44 20 looks good

[cutewizard]

Sub tony play ray

[cutewizard]

Shit tony

[cutewizard]

Ah fuck

[cutewizard]

Bats rule ey

[cutewizard]

Lol

[GSH]

Danny dribbling almost the entire shot clock... bad.

If it's the same possession I'm thinking, there was a bad pass that got deflected. Danny saved the steal, and didn't have any place to go with it. That one's not on him.

[cutewizard]

Kyle pls

[cutewizard]

Goooooooooooo sours

[loveforthegame]

Those Parker fts. :pctoss

[cutewizard]

Spurs

[spursistan]

worst FT-shooting PG

[r0drig0lac]

wow

[sasaint]

Why did Kawhi pass up the three?!?!

[spursistan]

why the fuck KL passed up on 3

[cutewizard]

Lma

[timtonymanu]

Leonard regulated to 3 point shooter. :lol

Going to need it some nights when Green and Mills aren't hitting theirs.

[TXstbobcat]

LMA!!!!!!!

[GSH]

Why did Kawhi pass up a wide open 3 and force Tony to shoot an off-balance contested prayer?

[cutewizard]

Game over

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi and Green have a conspiracy against Parker :madrun no wonder his APG looks low

[Silver&Black]

:lol Phoenix 76ers

[Mnky]

That last possession tells you everything about who's team this is. The entire team, including Aldridge, desperately tried to get Kawhi the ball even though a double tried to prevent the pass. Ended up with a last second 3 pt shot that Kawhi drills.

Awesome sequence as a fan to see.

[cutewizard]

He got shy

[sasaint]

Believe it or not, I think Danny should have shot those. Give him a chance to watch the ball go through the net.

Not a bad idea, coach.

[steeledl]

Kawhi freezing Tonys assist out

/s

[SAGirl]

Yeah, Hornacek's is gone. Bet we see more of Ray this game than the entire season to date. We don't have enough scrubs to play to keep this respectable for Jeff.

Lamarcus has got to be happy he made the right choice.

[timtonymanu]

:lol Phoenix 76ers

It's possible. They just lost to them as well. :lol

[cutewizard]

Lma is the best 4 in d nba

[benefactor]

Dallas is face raping the Dubs right now. Up by 19.

[From Downtown]

This is ridiculous

[cutewizard]

Go Spuuuuuuuurrrrrrss

Kawhi freezing Tonys assist out

What a terrible teammate, pos

[Silver&Black]

Dallas is face raping the Dubs right now. Up by 19.

Go mavs beat gs

[steeledl]

Kawhi and Green have a conspiracy against Parker :madrun no wonder his APG looks low



:toast

[pgardn]

LMA seriously considering the Suns in the summer...

Holy Mother of God...

[cutewizard]

Bobannnnnnnnnnnnn

[BatManu20]

Dallas is face raping the Dubs right now. Up by 19.

Turns out they're not as good when Curry doesn't play.

[cutewizard]

Manu started it

[SAGirl]

That last possession tells you everything about who's team this is. The entire team, including Aldridge, desperately tried to get Kawhi the ball even though a double tried to prevent the pass. Ended up with a last second 3 pt shot that Kawhi drills.

Awesome sequence as a fan to see.
I loved that too.
No desperation, team kept digging. If anything, D.West had a good shot as well (assuming shot clock prevent the final pass to Kawhi), but the good thing is they persevered until they got the shot they wanted or a better one.

[sasaint]

Glorified practice tbh

Comment is disparaging to practices, tbh.

[r0drig0lac]

Turns out they're not as good when Curry doesn't play.

...Ezeli, Barbosa and Barnes

[BatManu20]

If LMA would've signed with PHX this offseason, there's a good chance he might've offed himself by now.

[FaM0us Skins]

Jordan Howenstine
‏@AirlessJordan
Tony Parker has a season-high 4 steals in the first half tonight. Career high is 6 vs. Seattle on 3/3/2004.

[GSH]

Turns out they're not as good when Curry doesn't play.


That's what I was talking about in that other dumbass thread. We'll see how good their "execution down the stretch" is, when Curry isn't in the game.

[SAGirl]

Turns out they're not as good when Curry doesn't play.

Furthering his case for the MVP.

[Kawhitstorm]

Barea out there lookin' like Curry:lol

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!!

[cutewizard]

Kawhiiiiiiiii

[100%duncan]

Dunk that kiwi

[Silver&Black]

Turns out they're not as good when Curry doesn't play.

Yeah I forgot about that tbh...

What was it again? Leg? Knee?

[cutewizard]

Yea

[GSH]

Damn. Aldridge defers on 10-footers, but doesn't hesitate to shoot a straight-away 3.

[cutewizard]

Grimmmn

[TXstbobcat]

Verde!!!!!!

[cutewizard]

Play boban

[SAGirl]

Wow just the 24 points. I feel for the Suns, this is worse than that 76ers game.

[Silver&Black]

Chandler :monkey

[TXstbobcat]

LMA!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SAGirl]

Verde!!!!!!
yea when Green is getting layups, its tankorama in Suns.

[cutewizard]

Lma

[100%duncan]

Pls Pop TP LMA from now on. Hope this half has shed some light

[TheGreatYacht]

Pop, please stop going away from TP-LMA pick and pops

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!!!!

[r0drig0lac]

TP with 4 steals..wtf

[cutewizard]

61

[GSH]

Furthering his case for the MVP.

I think that case is more than made, as long as he stays healthy. With respect to Kawhi and a couple of others, he's been the MVP without question.

[TheGreatYacht]

Pls Pop TP LMA from now on. Hope this half has shed some light

[cutewizard]

Yes

[spurs10]

If LMA would've signed with PHX this offseason, there's a good chance he might've offed himself by now. :lol

[cutewizard]

61 33

[cutewizard]

Omg

[Ron Swanson]

28 point lead at halftime is ok, I guess.

[cutewizard]

Gs shud lose

[TXstbobcat]

Damn, it's an Ike Turner beatdown.

[timtonymanu]

33 points for Phoenix right now. Where is that statistic about the Spurs allowing 3 of the 4 lowest point totals in a half? this might be another one.

[cutewizard]

Curry is dead lol

[TheDoctor]

Yeah I forgot about that tbh...

What was it again? Leg? Knee?
Left calf strain.

[SAGirl]

If LMA would've signed with PHX this offseason, there's a good chance he might've offed himself by now.

He has to thank Ime Udoka for talking him out of that. lol
:lol

[spurs10]

Think I've died and gone to heaven....

[sasaint]

Pls Pop TP LMA from now on. Hope this half has shed some light

This!

[TheGreatYacht]

I guarantee y'all, replace LMA-West-Boban with Tiago-Ayres-Baynes and its tied at 33

[Silver&Black]

Great half. Spurs lead 61-33.

http://i.imgur.com/oUJZ9px.png

[cutewizard]

Best home start

[AztecSpur]

We're up by 30 pts. What's up with Kiwi and the full court press? smh

[pgardn]

Pls Pop TP LMA from now on. Hope this half has shed some light

So playing a YMCA basketball team is shedding some light...
Great for you in the dark.

[spurraider21]

smh Enrique in stat pad mode, Kawhi aka the best player on the team with 0 FGAs
lol what a faggot

[Ron Swanson]

Great half. Spurs lead 61-33.

http://i.imgur.com/oUJZ9px.png

That's a lot of +s.

[timtonymanu]

If LMA would've signed with PHX this offseason, there's a good chance he might've offed himself by now.

I seriously can't believe he even entertained playing there in the first place. Phoenix was a sinking ship already.

[cutewizard]

Lma is the best

[ElNono]

Kawhi still not getting enough touches or plays called for him, tbh...

You would think with a 30 point lead there would be more freedom to call his number and pad a little...

[Kawhitstorm]

Wes Matthews w/ raptured achilles outplaying Klay "I'm the best SG in the league" Thompson:lmao & Draymond Green getting exposed w/o Curry (Can't score on the same Dirk that Tiago/Josh Smith toarched:lol)

[cutewizard]

I believe in lma

[Diego20]

KL with no rebounds

TP with 4 steals

wtf am I watching?

[thiste]

28 point lead at halftime is ok, I guess.

Barely acceptable.

But we'll let it slide this time because Warriors are down 18pts at half too.

[cutewizard]

Wes Matthews w/ raptured achilles outplaying Klay "I'm the best SG in the league" Thompson:lmao
Klay over rated

[BatManu20]

Yeah I forgot about that tbh...

What was it again? Leg? Knee?

Lower left leg. Injured it last game. Just precautionary though tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi still not getting enough touches or plays called for him, tbh...

You would think with a 30 point lead there would be more freedom to call his number and pad a little...
:lmao

[cutewizard]

Outlier game

[spurs10]

Damn, it's an Ike Turner beatdown. That's quite a beatdown! :wow

[sasaint]

Lamarcus has got to be happy he made the right choice.

LaMarcus: "Wow, did I really consider signing with them?"

[GSH]

I guarantee y'all, replace LMA-West-Boban with Tiago-Ayres-Baynes and its tied at 33

@yers? Don't even say that name.

[cutewizard]

Garbage time ray shuf play

[Kawhitstorm]

Bryce Cotton:lmao

[pgardn]

KL with no rebounds

TP with 4 steals

wtf am I watching?

A YMCA game.

I bet Pop hates coaching these "contests".

[rasuo214]

Great first half, hard to complain. Only issue was FTs.

[spurraider21]

our point guard has more assists than FG attempts :madrun

[SAGirl]

If it's the same possession I'm thinking, there was a bad pass that got deflected. Danny saved the steal, and didn't have any place to go with it. That one's not on him.

I dont think its the same one, he got a pass in the corner, and should have passed out... its ok if he wnated to dribble and relocate, but at some point pass... he ended up involved in some kind of disastrous two man game with D.West.... dribbling around him almost the entire posession, ending in a desperation 3 by Kawhi from way back at the top, oviously rimmed out.

No big deal, but if Pop was to single out bad posessions, that is about the worst one from Danny.

[TheGreatYacht]

@yers? Don't even say that name.
They say he's somewhere in the D-League still dropping passes, missing dunks, and clapping his hands

[sasaint]

A YMCA game.

I bet Pop hates coaching these "contests".

Yep. How's a coach to keep it respectable?

[GSH]

They say he's somewhere in the D-League still dropping passes, missing dunks, and clapping his hands

Man, there's a good case of What Might Have Been. I thought when he came here he might have been a good pickup. Maybe it was the name change?

[TheGreatYacht]

Hornacek is a good coach tbh, he's just stuck with a dumpster fire of a locker room. PHX would be foolish to fire him during this tough 3 game stretch

[Vokun]

Suns ain't know what hit em, just like Cosby's victims.

[thiste]

Hoping we can keep that 46 point differential edge tonight against Warriors.

[ceperez]

Hornacek is a good coach tbh, he's just stuck with a dumpster fire of a locker room. PHX would be foolish to fire him during this tough 3 game stretch

Yeah, feel sorry about Hornacek.

[TheGreatYacht]

Man, there's a good case of What Might Have Been. I thought when he came here he might have been a good pickup. Maybe it was the name change?
Boylen conned us and then ran off to Chicago tbh, he sold us on him.


http://youtu.be/kq8tgKJeEtY

[Kawhitstorm]

Simmons needs to start throwing those down and force them to foul.

He has a habit of trying to be cute at the rim despite having the ability to throw it down ala Richard Jefferson

[sasaint]

Surprising that Kyle was a DNP in the first half.

[steeledl]

Surprising that Kyle was a DNP in the first half.

He will get a lot of run this half.

[TheGreatYacht]

Yeah, feel sorry about Hornacek.
Players throwing towels at him, GM trading away his players, organization firing his assistant coaches... Clock is ticking smh

[thiste]

Lol at Chandler's shot chart.

[sasaint]

Man, those FTs!

[100%duncan]

Lma fts smh

[spursistan]

Aldridge FT..smh

[SAGirl]

A YMCA game.

I bet Pop hates coaching these "contests".
Now that you mention it, he was very disgusted at the state of the 76ers, but that was something else.

76ers players inspire pity the situation they are put in.

These Suns, they were not meant to be this horrible.

Still, Pop is looking psised to me lol

[loveforthegame]

Green. :lol

[SASdynasty!]

Enrique out and the best player on the team finally sees the ball. :lol
Just got here. Box score shows Parker with 6 assists in the half. Next highest on the team has 2. Looks like Tony continues to be selfish with the ball. Good call FkLA.

[GSH]

WOW!!! Spurs have held opponents under 40 points in the first half 16 times? Next best is Utah with 5 times? That's just damned amazing.

BTW - last season they did it 16 times for the whole season. LMA on D is a big part of that.

[TXstbobcat]

LMA!!!!!!!!

[sasaint]

Players throwing towels at him, GM trading away his players, organization firing his assistant coaches... Clock is ticking smh

Tbh he is likely to land in a better place sooner rather than later.

[Silver&Black]

smh Enrique in stat pad mode, Kawhi aka the best player on the team with 0 FGAs


Enrique out and the best player on the team finally sees the ball. :lol


Kawhi must hate playing with that fatass PG. Clearly holding him back.


His PPG and FGAs have gone down considerably in December. Enrique needs to chill the fuck out and help develop the future of the franchise.


God damn here comes mr. steal your ball.


Boban makes Tyson look small. :lol

7 posts so far. 6 are whining like a bitch...1 is about Boban.

Find some new material. We all know you hate Parker...it's beyond old.

Inactive.

[cutewizard]

Time out pop

[GSH]

I've decided Danny Green's new nickname should be Klank. Damn.

Tony dribbles out a whole possession and takes a lousy shot. West steals the ball back. And Klank puts up a nasty 3 ball to give it back again.

[cutewizard]

D west

[cutewizard]

Dominator west

Did you see the rotation on that shot? Like it came out of a machine.

[Robz4000]

Suns gonna get this to single digits, then Boban checks in and scores 20 unanswered.

Suns gonna get this to single digits, then Boban checks in and scores 20 unanswered.

Dunk, steal inbounds pass, dunk, steal inbounds pass, dunk...
