Always a tough place for us to play and one of Duncan's least favorite. Kawhi and LMA have big games tonight, let's get it.

I am in Milwaukee for the game tonight. :flag:

[Cry Havoc]

Major props to BatManu20 for the slew of articles. :tu

Let's go get the W and move to 30-6. Milwaukee can play good teams really well, so with Tony out we need to come out strong and take some of their confidence away.

Damn all those teams ended up in the finals at least once during the 2 seasons part of those calendar years, hopefully it is the Spurs turn to make it in 2016..

Also, that Cleveland loss last March stings a bit, as the Spurs would have been on 36 home game winning streak..they are at 29, 10th alltime, while Golden State is still running streak at 34 games, 6th alltime...Bulls (1995-1996) have record with 44..

Spurs haven't started games well in the last week or so, this could turn into a trap game if we sleepwalk against those guys...Bucks just won two on the road and were down the wire vs OKC in the other..

#ceperez read his tea leaves and said it will be Patty. No confirmation from Milwaukee at this point.

I hope its patty. Manu can run the point with the second unit and we can see more simmons and...... Anderson.

The only home game winning streak that matters is the one against the Warriors: 32:toast

Patty starting tonight

Wonder who's playing with the bench then,Simmons at PG? Ray? Manu at PG with Kyle?

[MVPCues]

If Patty starts, Ray taking Patty's spot and everything else staying about the same is the most logical guess.

Patty starting tonight

Wonder who's playing with the bench then,Simmons at PG? Ray? Manu at PG with Kyle?

If this is true, it's stupid. No reason to break up the bench or not get another look at McCallum. Conceivably, they still could, but because of the Bucks' perimeter size, I wouldn't be shocked to see no true backup PG, with Simmons defending the position.

[Robz4000]

Haven't they been having MCW come off the bench while starting some smaller PG (can't remember who)? If so it kinda makes sense for defensive matchups and opening the floor for Kawhi/LMA.

[timtonymanu]

They were starting Jerryd Bayless for a while but he got injured. MCW took over and he's looked better than he did to start the season.

Anybody has a FSSW link?

[From Downtown]

It's official,Mills starts

[timtonymanu]

It's official,Mills starts

Really? I thought it was McCallum.

[GSH]

Opened up with a heat-check by Danny. Didn't go, but it was a good looking stroke. Not like those bricks he's tossed up most of the season.

[atoyotagaspedal]

oh man all those spurs chants

[timtonymanu]

Ugh the defense

[FaM0us Skins]

TD!

[sasaint]

Tim starts a new scoring streak.

[SupremeGuy]

Our defense looking like shit right now. Damn athletic teams. :cry

[SupremeGuy]

Tim starts a new scoring streak.Another 18 years! :lol

[loveforthegame]

Leonard's using that pump fake. Had two nice drives and Greens clanked both 3 attempts.

[SupremeGuy]

FUCKING BUCKS MAKING EVERYTHING :cry

[From Downtown]

Will we ever start a game well?

[timtonymanu]

Back to Icy Green smh

[spursistan]

one of those nights whene shots aren't falling..

[SupremeGuy]

Looks like icy danny is back :cry

[loveforthegame]

Green's slump is over huh?

[r0drig0lac]

bad start

[01Snake]

Green back in Brick-Mode

[SAGirl]

going to be one of those grind out games no one makes shots???
Also #ceperez was completely right on Patty.:toast

[sasaint]

Starting 1 of 9 with Danny missing 2 good looks. Make that 3. Ouch! Thought he was back.

[GSH]

The first 3 attempt by Danny was a good looking stroke. The next two, he's back in bricklayer mode. Shit.

[SupremeGuy]

Bucks making everything, we're missing everything... ugh

[Slime Baller]

Bucks making everything, we're missing everything... ugh

As long as things start to regress to their statistical mean, we should be fine. Just an ugly start.

[NASpurs]

Bucks' D has been impassive.

[SupremeGuy]

Shit. Bucks making a bunch of jumpers and we're(Danny) is missing open shots. Plz danny :cry

[Robz4000]

:lol I take it back, this is gonna be a loss. Maybe Pop trying to prop up Parker's importance to the team?

[GSH]

Monroe with the bunny-hop and no call.

[sasaint]

Will we ever start a game well?

No! That would be unfair. We like being 29-6 starting poorly and spotting our opponents about 10.

[Nathan89]

Team doesn't look good without the head of the snake:(

[NASpurs]

Need some Bobo to abuse some fools.

[timtonymanu]

:lol I take it back, this is gonna be a loss. Maybe Pop trying to prop up Parker's importance to the team?

I had this as a loss. The Bucks have beaten the Cavs and Dubs already.

[spursistan]

danny still airballed that :lmao

[sasaint]

Why did Patty pass up a WIDE OPEN 3?!?!?!

[SupremeGuy]

As long as things start to regress to their statistical mean, we should be fine. Just an ugly start.Yeah but this is one of those games where our opponent is going to act like they're playing for a championship and shit. You can tell already.

[SupremeGuy]

Thank Jeebus for Kawhi.

[spursistan]

ride Kawhi :cry

[SupremeGuy]

Kawhi carrying these chumps. lol

[loveforthegame]

Give it to Leonard and get out of the way.

[theman21]

Our defense needs to step it up or we will lose this one.

[SAGirl]

MCW got Patty...
crap!

[Kawhitstorm]

Need SlowMo to slow down the pace, Patty is getting raped:lol

[Slime Baller]

What do they chant while on D? Can't make it out. Sounds dumb.

[SupremeGuy]

LMAO fucking bucks

[SAGirl]

Kawhi just spectacular

[loveforthegame]

Mills lost defensively.

Verde 3!

[r0drig0lac]

bucks has a fantastic future, they already won cavs and gsw this season

[SupremeGuy]

Verde warming up.

[SAGirl]

MCW 3s at this point. shit!

[loveforthegame]

Nasty LMA.

They CAN miss.

LAMARCUS SLAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[SupremeGuy]

Kawhi can get those 3s whenever he wants now. lol He missed but it looked good and led to a LMA dunk.

[atoyotagaspedal]

oh my god

[FaM0us Skins]

Nice play by LMA

[DMC]

Ok probably the first time I've yelled at my TV in January in a few years lol. Nice dunk.

[SpurSwag]

Can't wait for lamarcus to do that to draymond green and Harrison Barnes in the playoffs

[Mel_13]

They're shooting 80% and only have a two point lead.

[sasaint]

Patty is not SUPPOSED to be a PG. He has already passed up two wide open 3s to move the ball quickly around the horn for meh!

[SupremeGuy]

Ok ok settle down and execute them to death. Don't let their athleticism kill us. And can we stop passing up open fucking shots?

[From Downtown]

LMA and Kiwi bringing us back into the game

[FaM0us Skins]

Jeff McDonald ‏@JMcDonald_SAEN 1m1 minute ago Milwaukee, WI
Spurs getting outshot 80 percent to 38.9 percent, only down by 2.

No! That would be unfair. We like being 29-6 starting poorly and spotting our opponents about 10.

LMA better stop those dunks, I'm running out of diapers.

[SpursFan86]

Thankful to only be down by 2 considering how well they're shooting + how poor we're shooting.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard using that pump fake more than any time I can remember.

[SAGirl]

Kawhi :toast

[theman21]

That D! :downspin:

Yep but honestly I'd like to see us keep teams under 90 pts and at this pace and the layups Bucks are getting...

[loveforthegame]

Leonard and LMA leading the way. :tu

[SAGirl]

Pop chewing Bobo in the bench.

[SupremeGuy]

LMA looking good.

[SupremeGuy]

UGH turnovers and bucks not missing/getting layups...

turnovers turnovers...

[Budkin]

Man LMA is really starting to find his way with this team.

[sasaint]

Yep but honestly I'd like to see us keep teams under 90 pts and at this pace and the layups Bucks are getting...

You and I both! But with our sieve D tonight Bucks will hit the century. :bang

[DeRozan m8]

LMAO is West ever not angry?

Maybe he too the pay cut as fuel

[SAGirl]

The MCW game, its that kind of game.

[SupremeGuy]

Phew... we needed that Manu 3.

[Budkin]

Man we give up a shit ton of points in first quarters.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard nasty!

[r0drig0lac]

wow kawhi easy

[Mel_13]

Damn Kawhi.

[Texas_Ranger]

it would be great if the Spurs would start playing some defense.

[atoyotagaspedal]

automatic

[loveforthegame]

Nice to see Kawhi getting shots early.

[Kawhitstorm]

Middleton is still cookin'

[SAGirl]

Kawhi MVP.. that is for those who doubt he can headline a championship team.
WoW :wow

[sasaint]

Man we give up a shit ton of points in first quarters.

Just totally frustrating! Seems like every game, even though I know that can't be so.

[spursistan]

Kawhi with the Curry 3 heaves :lmao

[SpursFan86]

Well, we should be fine going forward assuming Milwaukee stops shooting 75% from the field

[Raven]

great to see kawhi taking the last shot

[Nathan89]

Kawhi walking up casually and just shooting 3's. I could live with a few more of those.

[SupremeGuy]

I've been saying it... Kawhi can get that shot whenever he wants.

Kawhi 4 President

:flag:

[NASpurs]

Stop playing like shit (defensively) and they'll get this. Easy enough.

[SPURt]

Kawow! Jk, that's an awful catch phrase.

A one point lead isn't a lot considering they shot 75% that quarter.

[sasaint]

Kawhi MVP.. that is for those who doubt he can headline a championship team.
WoW :wow

Who dat? Who dat say dey doubt Kawhi?!?!?!

[SAGirl]

Leonard using that pump fake more than any time I can remember.
Got together with LmA and Slo-mo and worked on that lol

[theman21]

Well, we should be fine going forward assuming Milwaukee stops shooting 75% from the field

Not going to be hard if we keep giving them layups.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Spurs defense has gotten ATROCIOUS lately :bang 30 points in the first, are you fucking kidding me?

[Kawhitstorm]

Mills lost defensively.



Cot damn, I want Fathead to play in this game.:bang

[SAGirl]

Who dat? Who dat say dey doubt Kawhi?!?!?!
Thread that says 0 championships once Tim and Manu retire. Some guys questioned him as leading a championship team.

[sasaint]

great to see kawhi taking the last shot

Exactly! But probably only because he brought the ball up! :lol

[SupremeGuy]

I can't believe we have the lead and that shit start.

[NASpurs]

These fucks can't miss

Cot damn, I want Fathead to play in this game.:bang
Slow-Mo to Ray..

Seriously with ALL their shots falling already. Holy fuck.

Yeah I know. That's just my NOLA Chant/Rant.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Fool's silver team getting progressively worse throughout the season :bang

[SupremeGuy]

The bucks would be a good team if they played like this every night, tbh.

[SAGirl]

WTF finally a 3 got to give it to Bucks they are moving the ball well..

[UNT Eagles 2016]

our D really starting to slip lately..

Yep. Fool's silver 2nd round fodder, especially if we have to play OKC.

[SAGirl]

The bucks would be a good team if they played like this every night, tbh.
Agree they can hit a different level when they want.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Another missed chip shot by D-Worst!

McCallum hustling for the loose ball is nice to see.

get Duncan back..West is atrocious on both ends tonight..

[Vokun]

Put boban in already and watch him eat these fools tbh

[UNT Eagles 2016]

37 points given up with 9 minutes left in the 2nd to a Leastern team that isn't even in the playoffs?!? Are you FUCKING kidding me Spurs, have you no pride or do you like getting anal fucked? :pctoss

[Kawhitstorm]

The bucks would be a good team if they played like this every night, tbh.

They play like a young OKC team against elite teams.:bang

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Put boban in already and watch him eat these fools tbh
Exactly! Worst is awful and Andershit is too slow for this game.

[sasaint]

Put boban in already and watch him eat these fools tbh

Gets my vote.

[Kawhitstorm]

Put boban in already and watch him eat these fools tbh

Boban would destroy Henson's stick figure body:lol

[SAGirl]

McCallum hustling for the loose ball is nice to see. Yea, he's played as well as you can hope for a guy we haven't given much of a chance. The fact he's steady in this game despite not playing much shows his experience and the time he's already played in the NBA.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Anderson can't guard anyone that can run

he can't penetrate the rim, either

[Kawhitstorm]

Kyle caught ball watching.

Simmons it is.....:depressed

[BatManu20]

They're red hot. Will cool down eventually

[spursistan]

West..smh

[theman21]

1) Anderson and West should never be on court at the same time...defensive liabilities.
2) Bucks wtf shooting
3) refs wtf you can start calling the Bucks for fouls too!

[SupremeGuy]

Can west make a fucking basket? Fuck.

[SAGirl]

Pop giving a chance to Simms!
But saving the trump card in boban.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Home cooking? How is THAT not a foul? :bang they've gotten calls all night!

[spursistan]

Simmons..with some absolutely shitty decisions near the basket in last few games..

[SupremeGuy]

I feel like this is a team that will fold if we're able to get a 10 point lead.

[SAGirl]

Henson having a heck of game too! damn

Bucks definitely a handful. If they were consistent watch out EAst.

[SupremeGuy]

Manu saving us while Kawhi gets some rest...

[Kawhitstorm]

3rd string Scrubs are struggling:bang

[r0drig0lac]

Manuuuuuuuuuuu

[GSH]

It's one thing to come out and hedge. It's another to come out and shove the guy handling the ball, and extend the shove arm like that. I'm getting a little sick of watching that shit.

GINOB-THREE with the bailout buckets.

Bayless slid into the locker room there. Some say he was never seen from again.

[SAGirl]

Simmons can't get a dunk:bang
I told you they already know him from the past game.

MIL already got his game. Should stay active, he'll draw fouls.

Exactly! But probably only because he brought the ball up! :lol

it looked like they called it to me

[UNT Eagles 2016]

love simm's aggression tonight

[sasaint]

it looked like they called it to me

Did I get my shots confused? Not the walk-up trey?

[loveforthegame]

The spacing is terrible when Leonard has the ball.

[SAGirl]

Well I want to win, but from a general basketball perspective you got to love these bucks. they are really going after it.

[r0drig0lac]

bayless injury

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Are you FUCKING kidding me? That scrub FUCKING travelled :bang fuck these refs

[GSH]

Oh horseshit! The only contact was his hand on Mills' chest.

Kawhi fouled--> Jump ball--> FT for the Bucks:lmao

bayless injury

Hope so :lol faggot scrub deserves it...

[Cry Havoc]

Damn it. Was hoping that faggot fuck Bayless was injured. He's walking off on his own power, fuck that scrub.

[Texas_Ranger]

lol refs. retards

[sasaint]

dude has shriveled last few games..

Hopefully it is just a stretch, and he will recover. Rookie inconsistency.

[BatManu20]

Refs are shit.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Oh horseshit! The only contact was his hand on Mills' chest.

Yep. I hope he has a microfracture somewhere in there

[Kawhitstorm]

Damn it. Was hoping that faggot fuck Bayless was injured. He's walking off on his own power, fuck that scrub.

He isn't leaving 2 points on the court, selfish bastard :lol
