[spursistan]

Veteran BatManu20 (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=33095) is resting tonight.... ST needs to develop depth with the batch of newbies for Game Thread purposes, tbh..

Trying my luck here..Risky stuff with our long home winning-streak and the Knicks suddenly looking respectable after 3-game winning streak..

[Maddog]

phew!!!

I got worried there- Spurs versus Knicks.
It's the New York Knicks.
I was afraid the Spurs where going to have to face the Westchester Knicks and have to deal with trying to contain Jimmer.

[TampaDude]

We will lose tonight on a Melo BB 3. Nothing but net. First home loss of the season. Jinx. Book it.

Tim Tony Manu pls beat the kincks by 50 make fisher cry once again

[Trainwreck2100]

Still owe these guys for going try hard last year

[Robz4000]

Is everyone playing tonight?

[SpursIndonesia]

Is Tony gonna play tonight ? I will hate it if the Spurs would be the team that Porzingis finds his shooting touch back. Lopez & Calderon are veterans who have been stepping up their game as of late. The Knicks are actually one of the team out the who can rarely claim playing bigger than the Spurs this season.

[ElNono]

Man, I wish we could play someone good already.

[steeledl]

Well we lost

[steeledl]

lol Get Simmons in

[loveforthegame]

Yikes. That Timmy jumper.

[spursistan]

these slow starts are starting to get annoying..

[Ron Swanson]

Yikes, Timmy

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. :tu

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!!!

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!!!

[Ron Swanson]

Need more of that, Tony

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!!!!

[Spurs_619]

porker :downspin:

[Cry Havoc]

Parker looks faster than I have seen him all season.

[loveforthegame]

LMA looks awful.

[Cry Havoc]

Porzingis is going to be a superstar in this league.

[Dex]

Another slow start for the starters. :wakeup

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard doing Leonard things.

[Vokun]

Refs already bailing out the Knicks per par

[Cry Havoc]

Kawhi!!!!

[r0drig0lac]

wtf

[Uriel]

I continue to be bothered by the number of empty seats at the AT&T Center. This is potentially the best Spurs team in franchise history, and fans can't even be bothered to watch them on a Friday night.

[steeledl]

Kristaps is the real deal... I'd take him over any rookie to 3 year vet player in the NBA to start a franchise.

[sasaint]

these slow starts are starting to get annoying..

Whaddaya mean? Last game we started out great. You want two in a row or somethin'?

[steeledl]

I continue to be bothered by the number of empty seats at the AT&T Center. This is potentially the best Spurs team in franchise history, and fans can't even be bothered to watch them on a Friday night.

Imagine when we eventually become a bad team.

[TheGreatYacht]

Parker and Leonard need to take every fcking shot. This is terrible. Should've rested Manu and Green is still a scrub

[Vokun]

Get Aldridge in the post dammit

[spursistan]

How did "rest LMA" work for you Pop ...acting like the dude has already hit his stride in here..:lol

[NASpurs]

I continue to be bothered by the number of empty seats at the AT&T Center. This is potentially the best Spurs team in franchise history, and fans can't even be bothered to watch them on a Friday night.

Do you not read the replies when you brought that up last time?

[midnightpulp]

Very wormy so far.

[Robz4000]

Starters look terrible

[Cry Havoc]

Strap in fellas, it could be a long night. Our guys don't seem too motivated. Hopefully the bench steps it up.

[Cry Havoc]

TP in attack mode... seems very very fast.

[Budkin]

Yet again the Spurs come out sleepwalking against a shit team.

[SAGirl]

Porzingis looking really well early. Very special player. Nice pick by Knicks.

[TXstbobcat]

Manu333333333

[NASpurs]

The starters start with such a shitty energy

[Ron Swanson]

Just like they drew it up

[r0drig0lac]

Manu!!!

[Cry Havoc]

MANUUUUUUUUUUU

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. :worthy:

[ace3g]

Kawhi with a nifty lefty layup

[Cry Havoc]

Kawhi is a FUCKING MONSTER.

[TXstbobcat]

Manu!!!!!!!

[SAGirl]

Porzingis killing LMA there.

[SAGirl]

Manuuuu

[Vokun]

Parker with the dime to Manu :tu

[TheGreatYacht]

Great pass MVParker

[spurspokesman]

Aldridge looks flat

[NASpurs]

Need more of the Juice Squad or whatever they're calling the bench this year.

[Fireball]

I think we got em ... but watching a guy like Porzingis attack this relentlessly is impressive

[ElNono]

15 more pts :hat

[sasaint]

Aldridge looks flat

Like he has been taking shooting instruction from Tim.

[Nathan89]

Porzingis is a nightmare matchup for LMA. To much length and LMA is too soft to punish him.

[Uriel]

Do you not read the replies when you brought that up last time?
The seats were paid for, yes. But that's not the point. The point is to actually show up at the game and support the team.

[Fireball]

Need more of the Juice Squad or whatever they're calling the bench this year.

its this or the tea party ...

[keeferob25]

The starters start with such a shitty energy

Honestly while we may "look" lethargic what we are seeing is that EVERY team we face gives us their absolute BEST effort of their season to prove that they can somehow compete with the best. The Spurs agenda is to simply win and get better game by game. There is no EXTRA motivation or gear we feel we need to hit out of the gate. We simply play OUR game which is steady. So our opponents start out on 110% while we are at like an 80% its gonna look like we are lethargic because we can be.

[spurspokesman]

Leonard had melo slipping lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Manu pls quit creating your Fcking shot

[loveforthegame]

LMA looks like shit.

[TXstbobcat]

Manu!!!!!

[SAGirl]

This is going to be a headache game. For sure not the same knicks as last year, and those knicks kicked our butts once.

[hater]

Time to pur in SimGOD tbh

[SAGirl]

Good D LMA, but we need shots.

[SpursIndonesia]

Porzingod offensively, damn i just knew it. :bang

[hater]

Put in SimGOD

[Fireball]

Sean is selling the Knicks a little too short ...

[thiste]

I cannot stand Fisher's little shit face.

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!!

[spurspokesman]

Leonard goin to work

[steeledl]

Does anyone else remember when Sean was the Taco Cabana guy and he was on the cups?

[hater]

Put in SimGOD do it

[Vokun]

Knicks ain't missin

[Budkin]

Leonard doing what superstars do.

[SAGirl]

Bench LMA and bring out boban?

[Budkin]

Knicks ain't missin

Never lasts...

[NASpurs]

Lance Curry Thomas

[Texas_Ranger]

Lol best defense in the nba. What a joke

[spurspokesman]

Manu doin work on the low

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Again, Spurs defense getting exposed out there.

Brutal with their rotations tonight.

[sasaint]

Knicks ain't missin

They ain't missing because they are taking WIDE OPEN shots! We Re out f position and not contesting.

[Ron Swanson]

Does anyone else remember when Sean was the Taco Cabana guy and he was on the cups?

Yes I do. :lol

[Budkin]

Man our first quarter D this season has just been horrendous. I'm sure we'll lock it down like we always do but damn!

[ElNono]

11 more pts

[spurspokesman]

D west

[sasaint]

Bench LMA and bring out boban?

No. West, the PnP Machine.

[spurspokesman]

Man our first quarter D this season has just been horrendous. I'm sure we'll lock it down like we always do but damn!

This

[Budkin]

Lol best defense in the nba. What a joke

Not in the first quarter.

[Uriel]

Our defense has seen some serious slippage these past 3 games.

[TheGreatYacht]

Here we go. Doubling with West too.... Dumb ass Pop their guards suck

[spurspokesman]

30 pts to the knicks lol

[spursistan]

our defense has been progressively slipping the past 10 games..

[Robz4000]

:lol the fuck is this defense?

[hater]

Where da fuck is simmons??? Take that corpse out and bring in Simmons

[Fireball]

terrible defense :pctoss cannot keep this shit team under 15 a quarter :bang

protect our home court :ihit

[sasaint]

Man our first quarter D this season has just been horrendous. I'm sure we'll lock it down like we always do but damn!

30 points on the home floor. Sheesh. Reminds me - UNT is AWOL tonight...

[steeledl]

Get Simmons in... Im sleepy as fuck and if we are gonna play like shit I at least want to be entertained.

[Uriel]

Porzingis is literally the kind of player you want to create in 2K's My Career mode. Tremendous size and length, mobile, athletic, can play out on the perimeter like a guard... and he's only 19. The sky is the limit for this kid.

[SAGirl]

No. West, the PnP Machine.
You got it right!
:lol Just a few seconds of him though.

Didn't like LMA and Tony there, they were out of synch. LMA too laid back and Porzingis in contrast was very aggressive.

[BatManu20]

D needs to wake up. Way too many lay ups and open jumpers.

[Ron Swanson]

30 points on the home floor. Sheesh. Reminds me - UNT is AWOL tonight...

What have you done?

[TheGreatYacht]

In b4 fathead

[ElNono]

coasting, non-issue... we got this

[Nathan89]

D Best in the game. Smooth sailing from here.

[steeledl]

I'd trade Kawhi for him tbh... this guy is going to be the best player in the league and for a long time

[hater]

Get Simmons in... Im sleepy as fuck and if we are gonna play like shit I at least want to be entertained.

Yup

Bring in SimGOD

[SAGirl]

Porzingis is literally the kind of player you want to create in 2K's My Career mode. Tremendous size and length, mobile, athletic, can play out on the perimeter like a guard... and he's only 19. The sky is the limit for this kid.
On top of that the competitive spirit he has.
He's undaunted that LmA and Tim are heavier and experienced. He's going to go after it.
He has been the most impressive rookie of the past couple of years. Wiggins nor Towns made me go this gaga and Towns has a lot of talent. Jabari Parker not even in the same stratosphere.

[Mnky]

Porzo :lol

[sasaint]

What have you done?

I?

[ace3g]

Simmons!!!

[TXstbobcat]

Simmons and 1!!!!!!

[spurspokesman]

Nice pass by west

[r0drig0lac]

Simms!!!

[steeledl]

SIMMONS MY NIGGAS IN

[TheGreatYacht]

Fathead ain't getting that spot back :lmao

[SAGirl]

Simmons making stuff happen immediately!

[Budkin]

SimGOD TBH

[Ron Swanson]

I?

You mentioned his name. He's definitely showing up now.

[hater]

SIMGOD!!!!!


I told u bitches :lol

[silverblackfan]

Come on Spurs.

[ElNono]

simms!

[Mnky]

Tea time doing his thing

[sasaint]

Simmons making stuff happen immediately!

Very good to see him come out aggressively. Now just don't press...

[Vokun]

WTF!!!!!!! These rotations are TERRIBLE

[Texas_Ranger]

What is this defense???????

[NASpurs]

Holy shit the defense

[loveforthegame]

Leaving Porzingas open.

[SAGirl]

D.West come on you have to rebound it!

[Robz4000]

:lmao

[spursistan]

this team is laying an egg

[Cry Havoc]

Fuuuuuuuuuck

[spurspokesman]

We can't make layups smh

[sasaint]

You mentioned his name. He's definitely showing up now.

Sorry. At least we got a quarter without his histrionics, though.

[SAGirl]

Oh boy that game the defensive record goes to shit

[loveforthegame]

Missing lay ups. Awesome.

[Budkin]

Pop better start tearing some new assholes.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs are packed in the paint way too much, Knicks getting open 3 after open 3

Come on guys, wake up.

[TXstbobcat]

West!!!!!!

[TheGreatYacht]

This is Poop's fault.

For some reason he wants to double Langston Galloway and Jerian Grant :lmao

[Mnky]

Dias having to be our enforcer is never a good thing tbh..

[loveforthegame]

West. All night long out there. :tu

[spurspokesman]

Shitty 1st half so far. Porzingis is beasting

[Raven]

lol lakers passing on this guy

[keeferob25]

Spurs are packed in the paint way too much, Knicks getting open 3 after open 3

Come on guys, wake up.

Our guards give the lane too easily and is forcing our bigs and others to collapse for help and it is leaving them wide open

[Uriel]

Imagine the meltdown if we lost our first home game to the fucking Knicks. :lmao

[thiste]

We're not looking great right now.

[hater]

Credit to knicks tbh. Schooling these pussies at the moment.

Cant believe how much better are the knicks over the lakers :lmao

[SAGirl]

Definitely with all these 3s this may not be the Boban game... would love to get Boban and tire Porzingod out though.

[silverblackfan]

Defend that damn 3 point line!

[GSH]

Shitty 1st half so far. Porzingis is beasting


Young, athletic bigs. That's the Spurs' kryptonite.

[Nathan89]

Porzingis wants to join the formidable gang known as the Spurs Killerz

[TheGreatYacht]

BatManu20 wake up earlier than 2pm next time and make a game thread earlier next time smh

[hater]

Damn imagine if we were playing the Worriers tonight :lmao

Niggas would mass suicide in here :lol

[GSH]

Imagine the meltdown if we lost our first home game to the fucking Knicks. :lmao


I was thinking the same thing. It's almost a setup for that.

[NASpurs]

OP will never start a game thread again :lol

[Raven]

Young, 7-3 guys with 7-6 wingspan athletic bigs. That's the Spurs' kryptonite.

fify

[TXstbobcat]

Bobo!!! :bobo

[Mnky]

Knicks have been on a tear lately, knocking off top east teams. Porzingis will be fun to watch in the playoffs. He seems so competitive

[TXstbobcat]

[NASpurs]

No fucking jumpshots, keep pounding it in.

For sure, I'll watch knicks playoffs to see him. Going to be a headache for anyone.

[Perry Mason]

West bringing the team back on his shoulders. Playing gritty Spurs basketball. Love Boris and David going to the post since the Knicks are being light on the double team (though they doubled Boris and he should have passed out to Green on the last possession, no one is perfect).

[hater]

West prevented Spurs from folding tbh. Beast mode engaged

i actually think Anderson has played better lately tbh.

Seems to mesh with us better. But LMA is AWOL tonight.

Been saying it all season. He's a tough sonofabitch. Always was. His toughness is something this team needs.
