[100%duncan]

Porker 0-5 with 2 to's :lmao that pg

[Ron Swanson]

Hi Rachel

[From Downtown]

We're playing pretty good basketball tbh,we're just cold as ice right now

[Kawhitstorm]

Patty/Porker: 1-9:bang

[SAGirl]

It angers me a bit that Boban and Slow Mo have shown up big time for games lately and Pop doesn't play them against this kind of team.

Kind of have to resign myself, they apparently are not destined to be a factor against good teams.

:pop:

Can't say J.Simms has even been better than them recently.

[ElNono]

det dribble evolution

[Spurs_619]

Ariza outscoring Kiwi :wow

jsimms tryna do too much earlier. I would bench him for kyle this game

[SAGirl]

Need Boban to manhandle Capela's skinny ass since he can't shoot b/c Turd Towers offer zero resistance.:wakeup
:toast

[r0drig0lac]

West!!

[loveforthegame]

West. :tu

[100%duncan]

Captain West :worthy:

[sasaint]

Need Boban to manhandle Capela's skinny ass since he can't shoot b/c Turd Towers offer zero resistance.:wakeup

No wrong matchup. I wanna see Dwight's face when Boban throws it down on him!

[Kawhitstorm]

Lawson is still hungover from New Year's Eve.

He has badly outplayed Porker in 6 quarters this season:lol

[james evans]

why the fuck isn't harden being forced right?

[ace3g]

nice hustle Diaw!!!

[NASpurs]

West!!!

[Spurs_619]

Take green off harden.

[007nites]

Sean has a huge hard on for West every game

[loveforthegame]

Leonard got another shot. 2 now!

[SAGirl]

jsimms tryna do too much earlier. I would bench him for kyle this game
He got himself benched after getting himself blocked twice consecutively in the span of 2 mins in the Twolves game, which by the way, Boban and Slo Mo played very well.

But, but :pop:

[100%duncan]

Who is that guy on braids who just hit a shot?

[SAGirl]

OMG release the Boban already.

[Ron Swanson]

Bobo!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard double team, Bobo 3.

[From Downtown]

A BOBO 3

[sasaint]

Pop will NEVER have to challenge DWest to give him some NASTY!

[100%duncan]

Dat moment when your sf has better court vision than your evolved all star x number of years veteran pg

[NASpurs]

OMG release the Boban already.

For real shit, I'm pissed.

[ddjeffries]

OMG release the Boban already.

He will eat Howard.

[SAGirl]

Well maybe Boban is not ready for Howard and Pop doesn't want to risk it...
/sigh

This could be a frustrating game again...

[100%duncan]

Tough to play Boban when Bobo and DWest are playing great

[Kikoluna]

Pop knows me have a 7'3 center that is good right?

[Kawhitstorm]

Sean has a huge hard on for West every game

That's b/c he plays like a guy from the 90s

[thiste]

Man that commercial is creeping me out.

[SAGirl]

Pop will NEVER have to challenge DWest to give him some NASTY!
:lol
true.. lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Dat moment when your sf has better court vision than your evolved all star x number of years veteran pg
Kiwi: 1 assist
MVParker: 5assists tbh

You watching a play by play, Manny?

[Perry Mason]

Where is TD?

[NASpurs]

Did Howard say "ohhhhh yeaaaaaah" like the Koolaid Man?

[TheGreatYacht]

Green, Harden was on LMA dip shit

[Kikoluna]

Shit, put Boban in.

[Kawhitstorm]

WTF DAnny, LMA had Harden:bang

[SAGirl]

Tough to play Boban when Bobo and DWest are playing great
You are right, but I just want Boban to wear them out a little...
also I kind of want to find out what he can do against them.

But I will settle down.

[007nites]

Did Howard say "ohhhhh yeaaaaaah" like the Koolaid Man?

yep

[SPURt]

Did Dwight Howard just yell "oh yeah" like the Kool-Aid Man on that dunk?

[sasaint]

Where is TD?

Next to Manu on the bench, where he should be right now.

[FkLA]

WTF is up with that retard sitting behind the Rockets bench...has a Heat shirt/jersey but cheering for Houston.

[SPURt]

Did Howard say "ohhhhh yeaaaaaah" like the Koolaid Man?
Beat me lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Green, Harden was on LMA dip shit

This is the problem w/ Danny even when he's hot, the guy should stick to shooting 3s & get benched if he steps a foot inside the arc:lol

[Perry Mason]

Did Dwight Howard just yell "oh yeah" like the Kool-Aid Man on that dunk?

Yes, yes he did. lolworthy.

[NASpurs]

Hey imagine if a 7'3" guy was there to stop those lob passes...

[james evans]

WHY ISN'T HARDEN BEING FORCED RIGHT?????

[NASpurs]

LDNNNNNNNNNNNNNN

[From Downtown]

OH MY GOD KAWHI

[Ron Swanson]

[r0drig0lac]

good sequence

[james evans]

HOLY SHIT!!! green actually forces harden right and gets a steal. who would have thought it?

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurs need to start cooning back. Fuck these faggots

[Uriel]

IcyHot is finally getting HOOOOOOOOT.

[Perry Mason]

That's how to play! Tough defense every play, move!

[sasaint]

Recipe for a Spurs loss: ignore Kawhi and give up 50+ in a half.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

What's LDN?

[Raven]

green just schooled harden there..

[Raven]

What's LDN?

long penis africanamerican

[DeRozan m8]

fuck I love the Spurs

[Kikoluna]

Hey imagine if a 7'3" guy was there to stop those lob passes...

Lol TELL ME ABOUT IT. I wonder why none of the assistant coaches tell him , "um pop, we have boban"

[GB20]

Yeah!!

[SAGirl]

HOLY SHIT!!! green actually forces harden right and gets a steal. who would have thought it?
Yea Danny defense this game hasn't been very good,lets be thankful he's at least on fire, which was not a guarantee with him these days.

[sasaint]

WHY ISN'T HARDEN BEING FORCED RIGHT?????

Repeat that, say, about every 24 seconds. Danny finally heard you.

[FkLA]

Kawhi should be getting the ball every time when that lazy bum Harden is guarding him tbh.

[Mr.Bottomtooth]

long penis africanamerican

christ :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

This is the problem w/ Danny even when he's hot, the guy should stick to shooting 3s & get benched if he steps a foot inside the arc:lol
Hope he watches film and realizes his shittiest moments in the first half were when he dribbled tbh

[NASpurs]

Kawhi!!

[Kawhitstorm]

Big 3: 0-9, the era has come to an end in 2016

[loveforthegame]

Leonard holy shit!

[SAGirl]

What a play by Kawhi.

[NASpurs]

LaSharkuuuuuuuuus!! Take us hooooooome

[Ron Swanson]

LMA +1

[From Downtown]

LAMARCUS AND ONE

[emanueldavidginobili]

They need to ISO post up KL on Harden come on now

[r0drig0lac]

Danny is back

[TheDoctor]

Tony and Patty chose to suck at the wrong time. 1/9 FG combined. Thank the Force for hot Danny Green

[sasaint]

FINALLY! LMA backing down the toothpick!

[SAGirl]

Aldridge against Capela. I think he heard ceperez

[NASpurs]

:lol fuck you Ariza

[SAGirl]

FINALLY! LMA backing down the toothpick!

[Kawhitstorm]

Kawhi showing them that Capela isn't a flame spitting dragon

[loveforthegame]

Bobo hustle. :tu

[SAGirl]

Tony and Patty chose to suck at the wrong time. 1/9 FG combined. Thank the Force for hot Danny Green
Yea, if there was a game he could have broken out of his funk, this was as good as any other to do that.

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi for 3

[NASpurs]

Holy shiiiiiiiiiit maaaaaaaaaake it raaaaaaaaaain Kawhi

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. :worthy:

[BatManu20]

KAWOW

[GB20]

Fuck yeah!

THIS!

The Aztec triple

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi doing work on Django

[007nites]

didn't leonard travel there?

[NASpurs]

I'm glad to see Pop not forcing TD or Tony into game

[r0drig0lac]

no player in the world can defend Kawhi Leonard currently

[james evans]

harden is probably a worse defender than parker. I have no idea why he's not attacked every night in the league

[sasaint]

Bobo needs to teach LMA how to use his body, tbh.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Feed this man the ball come on

[FkLA]

Fucking lazy ass bum Harden is such trash on defense. :lol

[Trainwreck2100]

:lol harden shoulda just let him go

[Uriel]

Kawhi Leonard is better than James Harden, tbh.

[sasaint]

Danny what a board!

[NASpurs]

Holy shit Patty :lmao

[Ron Swanson]

What the fuck, Mills?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

SO NICE to see the Spurs end a quarter on a big run vs the Rockets as oppose the other way around we usually see.

[timtonymanu]

Ugh hate hate hate the way Brewer plays

[TheGreatYacht]

Too fucking early paddy. FUCK

[james evans]

mills shots are short

[BatManu20]

Damn Patty

[Trainwreck2100]

yay danny's back
boo mills is ded now

[From Downtown]

Patty?

[james evans]

Kawhi Leonard is better than James Harden, tbh.
no shit

[Nathan89]

Kawhi Leonard is better than James Harden, tbh.

It's not even close.

[Kawhitstorm]

Kawhi should have taken a fadeaway over Beverley:bang

[spursistan]

fuck patty mills, tbh..he singlehandedly prevented us from blowing out this shit..

our two PGs has been horrid in this matchup..

[BatManu20]

Oh well, great 2nd quarter for the most part.

[SAGirl]

Well we are up, can't complaint, but it required an unlikely super hot hand by Green and its a high scoring game.

Need adjustments for the second half.

[TheRemix]

Danny gave mills his cold streak

[Texas_Ranger]

if only the big3 came to play

[sasaint]

Ugh hate hate hate the way Brewer plays

I really wanted the Spurs to figure out a way to get him when he came out of Florida.

[Nathan89]

Leonard's efficiency this game:wow

[Kawhitstorm]

our two PGs has been horrid in this matchup..

All the guards have been shitty besides Danny

[Raven]

Kawhi Leonard is better than James Harden, tbh.
well duh :lol

[Spurs_619]

kl 5/5 parker 0/5 :lol

[BillMc]

It bugs me we have trouble with this team of imbeciles.

[timtonymanu]

Kawhi Leonard is better than James Harden, tbh.

That's no news. Only Curry and LeBron are arguably better players at the moment.

[Hoops Czar]

fuck patty mills, tbh..he singlehandedly prevented us from blowing out this shit..

our THREE PGs has been horrid in this matchup..

fify

[NASpurs]

Should probably start this lineup that ended the quarter in the second half... :lol

[sasaint]

Well we are up, can't complaint, but it required an unlikely super hot hand by Green and its a high scoring game.

Need adjustments for the second half.

I can think of 3: look for Kawhi, unleash Boban and play some D.

[Biggems]

Without the complete cocksucking from the refs, Harden would be just an average player in the league. The refs gift wrap 10 FTs and at least 5 bullshit fouls on the opponents every game.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

We just don't match up well with Houston, even when Houston plays poorly against us they're always within striking distance or even have the lead.

They really get up for the Spurs.

[Pauleta14]

OMG release the Boban already.

Pop keeping his best card in case of a PO meeting.

[theman21]

Danny Green and Patty Mills are like Clark Kent and Superman.

[Kawhitstorm]

Need adjustments for the second half.

The adjustment is to got at Capela instead of pussy footing when he's in the paint:downspin:

[loveforthegame]

Leonard's efficiency this game:wow

Good things happen when he has the ball. He's drawing double and triple teams now. He's learning to make the pass instead of forcing shots.

It's inexcusable when he goes 5-8 minutes without touching the ball.

[$pursDynasty]

Original big three not showing much but the young bucks are carrying us tonight

[sasaint]

All the guards have been shitty besides Danny

This is keeping the Rockettes in the game, shooting poorly and not looking for Kawhi.

[crc21209]

Whats up with Timmy? Only played 7 mins that 1st half.

[ElNono]

Not worried about the offense... It's the defense... Let Harden get his, foul Dwight, get back in transition when Brewer is out there and rebound the ball... Seems simple enough but we haven't done it consistently enough

[NASpurs]

Whats up with Timmy? Only played 7 mins that 1st half.

He looked horrible. Seems like the engines never got warm.

[100%duncan]

Kiwi: 1 assist
MVParker: 5assists tbh

You watching a play by play, Manny?

How can you "watch" a play-by-play? That supposed to be 1st world education aint working for you.

[sasaint]

The adjustment is to got at Capela instead of pussy footing when he's in the paint:downspin:

I was screaming at LMA in the first matchup for letting the toothpick cover him. Back him down and abuse him!

[spurs10]

Patty needs to find his shot!

[ElNono]

Tim is probably on a minute limit after missing two games... Pop not going to put a big load on him so quickly, especially against this frontline

[Kawhitstorm]

Whats up with Timmy? Only played 7 mins that 1st half.

He looked his age & West/Diaw/LMA were playing well.

[Raven]

We just don't match up well with Houston, even when Houston plays poorly against us they're always within striking distance or even have the lead.

They really get up for the Spurs.

it's mental, not matchup based. simply put, they care about this game as if it was a playoff game. and that's fine.

[100%duncan]

Kawhi with 14 pts, 5/5 fg after getting ignored the whole 1st quarter :tu

[SpursFan86]

Mills/Kawhi/Diaw/Aldridge quartet has been money all year...hopefully Pop goes back to it in the 2nd half

[Kawhitstorm]

Not worried about the offense... It's the defense... Let Harden get his, foul Dwight, get back in transition when Brewer is out there and rebound the ball... Seems simple enough but we haven't done it consistently enough

Quit biting on their shot fakes: Jones/Ariza

[sasaint]

He looked his age & West/Diaw/LMA were playing well.

All 3. Yep. Now just stir a soupçon of Boban into the stew!

[Raven]

Whats up with Timmy? Only played 7 mins that 1st half.

not much, pop has clearly started the rebuilding process. He will play timmy when the matchup will call for it, he's not much use against howard and capela.

[Kawhitstorm]

Kawhi with 14 pts, 5/5 fg after getting ignored the whole 1st quarter :tu

Coincidentally Porker was on the bench for the majority of the 2nd quarter:lol

[SAGirl]

Whats up with Timmy? Only played 7 mins that 1st half.
The unit with him in it went for a good few minutes 5-6, maybe more without scoring except for some Danny 3s. I think Pop wanted to speed the tempo up.

They really needed to go to Kawhi more early.

[apalisoc_9]

Coincidentally Porker was on the bench for the majority of the 2nd quarter:lol

but but Parker :lmao

[100%duncan]

Coincidentally Porker was on the bench for the majority of the 2nd quarter:lol

The Evolution

[SpursIndonesia]

fuck patty mills, tbh..he singlehandedly prevented us from blowing out this shit..

our two PGs has been horrid in this matchup..

Yeah, TP is truly bothered by Houston length down low while Patty is just in bad streak this game from outside. When our offensive PGs are cucked like this game, it was such a luxury to have a third defensive PG who can make a difference defensively like CoJo.


if only the big3 came to play

TD is the worst man, i start to think his knee is really bothering him or something, with all due respect, he is just basically a dead ballast tonight.

[007nites]

The Big Croissant is playing well

[TheGreatYacht]

bic50 is nowhere to be seen when Parker is getting attacked. Faggot :lol

Kiwi white knight :lol

[NASpurs]

Coincidentally Porker was on the bench for the majority of the 2nd quarter:lol

He's rounding into playoff form :smokin

[$pursDynasty]

I am a MVParker guy and I admit, he, Timmy and Manu not looking good so far, might need for hot Verde, Kiwi and LMA carry us tonight. Maybe let Bobo run the offense.

[sasaint]

not much, pop has clearly started the rebuilding process. He will play timmy when the matchup will call for it, he's not much use against howard and capela.

Possibly. Your crystal ball may be clearer than most.

[TheGreatYacht]

Good on Kiwi to go at the shittiest defender in the NBA :tu Bickerstaff didn't respect our role player. Little did he know that Kiwi was a regular season player

[007nites]

Timmy needs to post up Dwert

[DenialTwist]

Coincidentally Porker was on the bench for the majority of the 2nd quarter:lol

Guess Pop noticed there was a discrepancy lol It's ok, ball don't lie. But Kawhi needs to demand the ball, the leading scorer should not have to beg for it. Danny needs to keep getting some shots too, he has the hot hand. Limit Mills' and Parker's shots in the second half, they just don't have it tonight.

[100%duncan]

Wow Tim. Sit down dude.

[NASpurs]

What a horrible play

[sasaint]

Timmy TO...

[From Downtown]

I am a MVParker guy and I admit, he, Timmy and Manu not looking good so far, might need for hot Verde, Kiwi and LMA carry us tonight. Maybe let Bobo run the offense.
Mmh Manu has not been that bad tonight actually,just fouled too much
Timmy clearly isn't 100% physically and he's gonna struggle against Howard and Capela anyway,it's good that the other 3 bigs are showing up
Tony needs to play like he did last game and stop overdribbling

[timtonymanu]

Really not Timmy's night. I wonder if the injury was really legit.

[emanueldavidginobili]

KL 5-5 9 people that played so far has taken the same or more shot attempts............

[Silver&Black]

http://i.imgur.com/Hg6G67i.png

[sasaint]

Timmy needs to post up Dwert

No. Just no. Especially not tonight.

[Kawhitstorm]

Porker/Tim don't have it tonight, please bench the old guys

[100%duncan]

Really not Timmy's night. I wonder if the injury was really legit.

He shouldn't have rested 3 straight games. Throws you out of rhythm so much

[Ron Swanson]

Two turnovers in less than a minute.

[loveforthegame]

It shouldn't be that hard to get Leonard the ball in the post. FFS. :pctoss

[Kawhitstorm]

LMA:bang

[100%duncan]

Thank god for Kawhi, LMA and Danny.

[100%duncan]

Wtf was that kawhi just go hard at the rim boi

[sasaint]

http://i.imgur.com/Hg6G67i.png

As always, than you, S&B. With our box score it is hard to imagine we were still in a close game. Gotta clamp down on D.

[TheGreatYacht]

Get out Tim, ffs

[sasaint]

Two turnovers in less than a minute.

Starting out like the first half.

[Kawhitstorm]

Tim is absolutely doing nothing besides getting in Kawhi way when he drives:bang

[100%duncan]

LMA :worthy:

[TheGreatYacht]

Get out Tim, ffs

[loveforthegame]

Timmy just doesn't have it tonight.

[100%duncan]

God Tim you suck

[Kawhitstorm]

Finally Spurs don't bite on Ariza shot fake--> Shot clock violation:lol

[Texas_Ranger]

spurs are amazing in being idiots when it comes to and1's

[r0drig0lac]

Tim killing the team today

[From Downtown]

It's great to have both Kawhi AND LaMarcus

[Kawhitstorm]

Tim is wetting the bed, And-1:bang; someone change his diapers

[100%duncan]

Porker :lmao

[sasaint]

Tim is absolutely doing nothing besides getting in Kawhi way when he drives:bang

Timmy's worst game of the season, tbh.

[timtonymanu]

Duncan and Parker bringing nothing

[100%duncan]

:lol Bench tim and porker

[SupremeGuy]

Kawhi shitting on the cat crew. :lol

[loveforthegame]

Leonard is nasty. Get him the fucking ball.

[100%duncan]

Kawhi :wow

[Silver&Black]

Kawhi killing it tonight...thank GAWD.

[spursistan]

clear the fuck out for Kawhi :lol

[SAGirl]

Timmy=old age.
Games like this will happen. It is bitter.

I am with Raven. Maybe its time to transition to use him when the matchup is advantageous.

I would have wanted to see both Boban and Slo-mo get a chance. Relegated to the bucket of tomorrow's to-do-list.

[Kawhitstorm]

Porker getting styled on by a scrub:lol

[spursistan]

:lol Bench tim and porker

[Ron Swanson]

[Kawhitstorm]

Need to sub in West for Tim:bang

[From Downtown]

Thank God Danny is on fire this game TBH.
About time

[Beaverfuzz]

Hey Verde, you may want to play some defense, just because your shot is dropping doesn't mean you can sleep on the other end.

[SupremeGuy]

LMAO @ porker sucking dick and then getting mad at Verde

[NASpurs]

I blame that bucket on Kawhi, didn't look like he was guarding either Jones(Capela?) or Ariza.

[timtonymanu]

Transition defense is embarrassing today

[100%duncan]

Our transition D is really shit this game :lol

[FkLA]

Enrique getting shut down by Beverly in back to back games smh.

[Kool Bob Love]

I blame that bucket on Kawhi, didn't look like he was guarding either Jones or Ariza.

[Kikoluna]

Please put boban in. :bang

[Kawhitstorm]

Spurs getting killed in transition by the bigs:downspin:

[myhc]

I blame that bucket on Kawhi, didn't look like he was guarding either Jones(Capela?) or Ariza.

yep. kawhi wasn't guarding anybody.

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhobe brick and TO leading to easy Rockets baskets this quarter

[100%duncan]

Boban for Tim imho

[NASpurs]

Hopefully this timeout comes with some lineup changes.

[GSH]

LMAO @ porker sucking dick and then getting mad at Verde


Just being a leader. :lol

[sasaint]

Need to sub in West for Tim:bang

Nope. We did that in the first half and it worked beautifully. Need to do something else now.

:pop:

[100%duncan]

Kawhi misses one shot and the catkrew is all over it. :lmao meanwhile porker is 0-6 and he needs to shoot more

[SupremeGuy]

Cat crew jumping all over Kawhi's ONE miss :lol

[NASpurs]

Nice move by Tony, some props.

[SupremeGuy]

Kawhi misses one shot and the catkrew is all over it. :lmao meanwhile porker is 0-6 and he needs to shoot moreDammit you beat me to it. :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

LMAO @ porker sucking dick and then getting mad at Verde

Don't worry, Tim/Porker will be subbed out. Nice way to force stubborn Pop's hands into calling a timeout.:toast
