Game Thread: Spurs @ Pistons -- Tue. (1/12) - 6:30PM CST (2:30AM Riga Time)

[BatManu20]

Quick turnaround as we're in Detroit tonight to play Aron Baynes and the 21-16 Pistons, who have won 4 of their last 5. Spurs are going for their 9th win in a row tonight. 2nd night of a b2b means Timmy and Manu likely rest. Will be a tough test to keep Drummond off the boards with Duncan out. Let's get it.

Pistons always give the Spurs fits in at least one game during a season; this one seems likely to be that one for this season.

Losing @DET (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=3776) degrades Spurs record. Spurs gotta win a few on the road against teams with winning home records.

That's if he even plays. Detroit's bench averages the least amount of minutes in the NBA.

Baynes also has a good mid range from what I've seen in warm ups. Dunno why Pop never used it.

good, then you'll be fine leaving this thread, right?

[Cry Havoc]

wtf is that foul

[GSH]

wtf danny Danny didn't throw that ball away. He nearly saved it, but that was on Parker.

[TheGreatYacht]

Andrew Monaco knows he's not calling golf, right?

[GSH]

Flopping bitch! Either that or LMA has a baseball bat up his sleeve.

[BanditHiro]

yep this is a loss.

[Ron Swanson]

I wish they still had Darko.

[Cry Havoc]

ROFL. So the refs decide to blow the whistle then think about it for 5 seconds before making the call.

Gonna be a long night with the whistles.

[loveforthegame]

Terrible start.

[Cry Havoc]

How the fuck is that not a foul?

[Silver&Black]

Welp

[TheGreatYacht]

Enough with the Tim postups for the rest of the season, please.

[Cry Havoc]

MVRefs so far.

[timtonymanu]

Predictable start, tbh.

[Vokun]

LMA the only one that wanna play today

[ironman2886]

Bench will have to save us.

[still.focused]

Kawhi guarded by Reggie Jackson NAAAAAH!!....block, turnover, 3pts DET

[ElNono]

Drummond :monkey

[313]

LMA the only one that wanna play today

[SAGirl]

I don't understand the consecutive TD post ups ...

[TheGreatYacht]

If it's not the playoffs, Timmy shouldn't be posting up..

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Pathetic start by pathetic team...


Leonard and Parker are trash.

[Vokun]

Stop with the Duncan postups. Give those to Kawhi or LMA and then get Duncan going later. It just seems way too forced early on

[wingster]

Oh man. If only NBA games weren't decided by the first half of the first quarter.
Oh wait.

[loveforthegame]

Verde!

[Ron Swanson]

Verde!

[Cry Havoc]

DANNY

[ironman2886]

Kawhi doesn't know what the hell he wants to do.

[GSH]

If the Spurs can keep the Pistons shooting from outside 10 feet, this is a W. Not even an issue.

[loveforthegame]

More Leonard post ups and less Duncan ones.

[Cry Havoc]

Oh man. If only NBA games weren't decided by the first half of the first quarter.
Oh wait.

Were you here last game? We were up 7 at halftime and people were cliff jumping. :lol

[Cry Havoc]

Kawhi seems really uncomfortable. I hope he's not hurt.

[Kawhitstorm]

I don't understand the consecutive TD post ups ...

Looks like one of those game where Tim looks his age: old

[loveforthegame]

Parker is trash.

[Robz4000]

The fuck happened to the SL outside LMA tbh? Defense is fine but the offense is a train wreck.

[Cry Havoc]

over 6 minutes into the game the first foul is called on Detroit, who's been playing super physical so far. :lol

[LakerHater]

Dammit Tony

Oh man. If only NBA games weren't decided by the first half of the first quarter.

5 turnovers in 7 mins by the Spurs!

[Cry Havoc]

The fuck was that Boris.

[Cry Havoc]

2 fouls on Andre!!!! Bout fucking time.

[GSH]

That's what I was calling for last night. Keep Detroit shooting from outside 10 feet, and get a couple of quick fouls on Drummond by boxing out. Relax.

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi seems really uncomfortable. I hope he's not hurt.
It's not stat padding time yet

[Budkin]

5 turnovers in 7 mins by the Spurs!

[timtonymanu]

Road woes continue against a playoff team. This would be a huge win right now.

[beirmeistr]

spurs are stone coldm

[Cry Havoc]

Detroit announcers are pretty fucking solid so far. They call their own guys out for bad fouls. :tu

[ironman2886]

This is a loss.

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi gtfo

[Texas_Ranger]

it was a good game...

[Cry Havoc]

Oh, whoops. We called two fouls on a Piston. Better make sure to take the ball away from the Spurs if a Detroit player falls down. :lmao

[GSH]

Refs biting on the flops so far. Shame Manu doesn't have his hair anymore.

[ironman2886]

Kawhi Leonard a top three player my ass.

Does nobody wanna fucking shoot it other than LMA? Enough with the pumpfakes, shoot that shit.

Its the third game in a row tbh.

11 points with 3 minutes left :lol

Wait a minute...

if we start that way against golden state = game over

No. We played Saturday, Monday, and tonight.

of all things to nitpick on, really?

I am not as discouraged. Defense is more important and Spurs are playing it fairly well.

[TheGreatYacht]

Bring West in for Boris..

[Kawhitstorm]

Boris:lmao

[Cry Havoc]

WHAT THE FUCK IS THAT

[Cry Havoc]

Fucking really Baynes? You clock your old teammate in the face and have a problem with the call?

[Silver&Black]

:bobo

[spursistan]

dem screens by Baynes :lol

[Ron Swanson]

Boban with the touch pass.

[Cry Havoc]

Boban pass!

[GSH]

Boban nearly gets a steal out on the perimeter again. Then makes a beautiful touch pass to Boris under the basket. He's a lot more than a dunker.

[Ron Swanson]

It's a Manu tres

[timtonymanu]

Bench mob game

[Silver&Black]

Got the lead bitches...

Shitty sequences to end the quarter, Boban's bulldozed by the the Bane.

Welp, then like I was saying, the SL's offense outside LMA has been poor since the Knicks game.

Lucky 3, was well defended. Spurs are playing active defense and they have more power and discipline on offense. Looking good for our guys.
