Game Thread: Spurs vs Cavs -- Thurs. (1/14) - 7:00PM CST (3:00AM Riga Time)

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Parker really forcing the penetration.
It's starting to work, Thompson and Love aren't the greatest rim protectors imo.

[Nathan89]

Kawhi's seems confident on defense vs James. Goodness that was great D.

[TheGreatYacht]

Great fucking job there Kawhi, and Tony finally attacking the paint when they have TRISTAN THOMPSON AND KEVIN LOVE :tu

[pgardn]

Great defense by the KingSlayer....

My nigga.

Great D, left alone.

[Fireball]

very nice ... nearly even with some second unit players about to come in I guess

[sasaint]

Great defense by the KingSlayer....

My nigga.

We need that tonight if we are to keep the win streak at home. :ihit

[daledondale]

That defensive possession by Kawhi...unbelievable :tu
:flag:

[Kawhitstorm]

Interesting, Butler suited up instead of Bonner or McCallum

Ray isn't playing against playoff teams:lol

[loveforthegame]

Leonard beast on defense. Spectator on offense.

[GSH]

Laughing at all the early comments. Seems like it happens almost every game. The Spurs take measure, and adjust. Counter-punchers.

[Cry Havoc]

Cavs look great when they shoot 100%. As soon as they start to miss, our defense steps in and says, "Thanks. We got it from here."

[Nathan89]

Make Tp a role player:lol
Short bus:lol
10ppg is ideal:lol

[hater]

Almost tied and Lamarcus hasn't even entered the building :lol

[pgardn]

It's starting to work, Thompson and Love aren't the greatest rim protectors imo.

Pop calling for it.
I just observe and hope.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

We have an enormous advantage on the bench, if we can be even with them when the benches come in for awhile it's a huge advantage for us...

[Pauleta14]

Parker really forcing the penetration.

That's he job bro...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

David Blatt: "That was a bailout! That was a bailout!"

Ref: "How many times you gonna tell me?"

LBJ: "He only told you twice, damn."

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Only thing we can't afford to do is help on James. Let him get his. Control the defensive glass and the shooters.

[pgardn]

Laughing at all the early comments. Seems like it happens almost every game. The Spurs take measure, and adjust. Counter-punchers.

It makes this site very amusing.

[timtonymanu]

Keep saying it all the time but the Spurs defense is massively overrated.

They can't afford a bad quarter vs a team of this quality

Drama queen

[Kawhitstorm]

Great fucking job there Kawhi, and Tony finally attacking the paint when they have TRISTAN THOMPSON AND KEVIN LOVE :tu

It would be better to have either Tim or LMA on the floor when Mozgov is in the game & have Diaw in the game when Love in on the floor.....well at least in the 4th quarter before he goes off like Ryan Anderson since Tim isn't punishing him in the post anyways.

[Cry Havoc]

Laughing at all the early comments. Seems like it happens almost every game. The Spurs take measure, and adjust. Counter-punchers.

People are stupid.

[sasaint]

Cavs look great when they shoot 100%. As soon as they start to miss, our defense steps in and says, "Thanks. We got it from here."

Agree. They were white hot to start.

[Silver&Black]

Of course...

[UNT Eagles 2016]

YOU CAN'T LET THE SHOOTERS SHOOT! DAMN IT

[timtonymanu]

Faggot JR doesn't hit those in big games

[BatManu20]

Damn if JR is on, Cavs will be tough to beat

[pgardn]

That's he job bro...

Not necessarily, see finals 2014

[emanueldavidginobili]

And that's why you don't let him get hot..

[UNT Eagles 2016]

You can't let that homo faggot shoot! :bang

[loveforthegame]

Smith schooling Green.

[Silver&Black]

JR Smith going to break Wilt's 100 point record tonight...

Fuck me.

[SAGirl]

bad call referees

[Ron Swanson]

Green, WTF are you doing?

[timtonymanu]

Green stupid

[hater]

:lol JR taking a shit on spurstalk :lol

[james evans]

I'm glad smith has hit 4 shots early cuz that mf is a gunner. He's gonna eventually shoot them out. I like this.

[BatManu20]

Ugh Danny

[GSH]

That's the problem with a no-look pass, Danny.

[spursistan]

Green playmaking :lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs are going to get wrecked. Not liking them settling for jumpers everytime and Aldridge is being ignored.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Green, you're trash. Please trade Green ASAP

[Texas_Ranger]

Green needs to go.

[Vokun]

Put Simmons in already

[Kawhitstorm]

Danny asking to get benched:lol

[TheGreatYacht]

A lineup with no Parker and Manu. Fuck yourself Pop

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi shitting on The King

[ace3g]

Jordan Howenstine @AirlessJordan
(https://twitter.com/AirlessJordan)Manu Ginobili - 2nd player in NBA history to play 900 games with the team that drafted him outside of first round since 1966 (Calvin Murphy)

[Trainwreck2100]

:lol keep it up friendkiller

[r0drig0lac]

they have a record for everything.

[SAGirl]

Kawhiiiiiiiii DPYO AGAIN!

[Silver&Black]

Whatever Danny Green has...it's rubbing off on MVPatty.

[timtonymanu]

Patty chuck

[Kawhitstorm]

Is LMA in the building?:wakeup

[BanditHiro]

game over. wtf are we doing offensively?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Why the fuck are our scrubs jacking up long 2's? :pctoss

Terrible offense... TERRIBLE DEFENSE! :bang


Fuck you Marv Albert, woman-biter. Fuck you!

[hitmanyr2k]

LMA is sleepwalking out there.

[TheGreatYacht]

No worse shot than a Patty Mills shot. This faggot is scared to attack the paint

[BatManu20]

Dammit Manu no touch fouls on Lebron. If you're going to foul him, wrap him up

[sasaint]

Kawhi shitting on The King

Unfortunately the King's pawns are killing the rest of our guys.

[Vokun]

STUPID STUPID STUPID FUCKING SHOTS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

WTF Sperms? :bang

[loveforthegame]

Cavs getting all the loose balls, rebounds.

[cjw]

No penetration except Parker

[Texas_Ranger]

best defense in the NBA my ass. this guys don't know where they are.

[spursistan]

not even close by LMA

[Silver&Black]

:lol Sperms sighting

[Amuseddaysleeper]

:lol

[Uriel]

Holy fuck, the Spurs are playing SCARED.

[timtonymanu]

Cavs came to play. Spurs didn't. :td

[loveforthegame]

LMA shitting the bed. :td

[james evans]

sit aldridge down. he's made bad play after bad play on both ends.

[SoonerSpur512]

Wake the fuck up

[NASpurs]

Aldridge getting abused

[spursistan]

Get TP back in there..

[BanditHiro]

just put the third string. Not even close to ready for this match.

[GSH]

Cavs getting to all the loose balls, and getting all the rolls on shots. That's got to stop.

[r0drig0lac]

soft aldridge today

[emanueldavidginobili]

This is embarrassing, put west in we need some toughness

[SuperCam]

Cavs are the better team by far. we are a tier behind atm

[Robz4000]

Spurs on blowout alert

[SASdynasty!]

Jefferson smh

[Raven]

wtf

[Perry Mason]

honestly wtf.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME WITH THIS DEFENSE? :pctoss


Bunch of pussy faggot homos. If we can't stop this tide... these guys aren't rooting for, honestly.

[SpursIndonesia]

Patty to become a starter like the krew suggested, 200 PPG for the opponents all season long. :lol

[benefactor]

Wake the fuck up

[Kawhitstorm]

LMA playing like Richard Jefferson:lmao

[dbreiden83080]

No rhythm right now.. Just keep playing..

[timtonymanu]

Playoffs LMA on display.

[SAGirl]

UNT?
:madrun:madrun

[Quiet Strength]

This offense...

[resistanze]

Softridge is back

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs jumpshot happy, taking awful shot after awful shot.

[BatManu20]

Spurs playing with no energy. That's really all there is to it.

[Death In June]

Lot of touch fouls

[UNT Eagles 2016]

TURD TOWERS ARE YOU FUCKING SHITTING ME? :pctoss

[Silver&Black]

Deli giving MVPatty the business...

Is this real life?

[sasaint]

LMA is sleepwalking out there.

Just reached up to tap Thompson on the chest to give him a freebie And-1. :bang

[atoyotagaspedal]

knew this was gonna happen, typical spurs

[emanueldavidginobili]

This is depressin how they don't give KL every single time down the court

[TDfan2007]

Kawhi ends the bleeding. Our D has been solid, but they're hitting ridiculous shots while some of ours are rimming out. Just gotta play through it.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Are you kidding me with this cuntshit? 15 points losing in the 1st quarter? :pctoss

[Vokun]

Mills is so fucking terrible on both ends

[tholdren]

This lineup

[Silver&Black]

UNT?
:madrun:madrun

It's becoming the norm with that guy...

[loveforthegame]

Leonard in the post = good things. But let's go away from that.

[TheGreatYacht]

Parker finds a rhythm... Subbed instantly
Kawhi finds a rhythm... Subbed instantly

[BatManu20]

Cavs scrubs playing the quarter of their lives. Should come back down to earth eventually.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

30 FUCKING POINTS AT HOME ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME? :pctoss

[Kawhitstorm]

Hopefull, D-West has a flashback game against LeBron b/c LMA is soft as fuck.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

fuck

[Ron Swanson]

Gday Mate!

[TDfan2007]

Man they're hitting everything they look at...

[UNT Eagles 2016]

FUCK this defense!

[tholdren]

Danny green fell down off ball on cut by smith... elite defender

[UNT Eagles 2016]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME FAGGOTS? STOP THE FUCKING LOB SOMEBODY!

[atoyotagaspedal]

cavs making it look easy

[sasaint]

Kawhi ends the bleeding. Our D has been solid, but they're hitting ridiculous shots while some of ours are rimming out. Just gotta play through it.

They are also getting lots of wide open shots.

[SuperCam]

Making tristan thompson look like shaq :lmao

[Uriel]

Easily thr worst 1st quarter of the season.

[Kawhitstorm]

Patty getting molested on D ......as usual:lmao

[Vokun]

TURD FUCKING TOWERS

[TheGreatYacht]

Of course West is shit when you bench him the game before...

:pop: :lmao dumbass

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Fuck you dirty sour cream skin aussie with the beard

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Cavs scrubs playing the quarter of their lives. Should come back down to earth eventually.

They're getting good looks. Cavs are brimming with confidence. Spurs need to cut down to 6 or less by halftime hopefully.

[resistanze]

Mills is a horrible individual defender...

[Kawhitstorm]

Turd Towers rim protection:lmao

[SAGirl]

Patty D just kills us. Cojooooo!

[atoyotagaspedal]

So the cavs can play so well against the spurs but not the warriors such bullshit

[tholdren]

Bwahaha green you pussy

[cjw]

How are Spurs down only 12 after 1st?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Fuck you Ginobili... FUCKING scrub :bang

[pgardn]

Interesting stuff.

Cavs playing well, we are not.

We get to learn more about our team.
Getting beat off the first step which is getting them looks and dunks.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Terrible shot selection!

[Vokun]

Spurs exposed :lmao

[BatManu20]

Alright, we got our worst quarter of the season out of the way. Let's play some ball now.

[Kawhitstorm]

Danny missing a shot at the rim:lmao

[random21]

Wtf is going on?????

[spursistan]

can Green do something useful around the rim..Dude is stiff as fuck..can't even dunk shit..

[Nathan89]

Spurstalk getting on me for wanting to trade mills.:lmao

[Raven]

another shitty first quarter

[SpursFan86]

Getting shat on by the Cleveland role players...sigh

[timtonymanu]

Hate quarters like that because it guarantees the Spurs are going to be playing catch up all game and ultimately come up short.

[james evans]

we're gonna be ok. We ended the quarter good. I'm happy

[Texas_Ranger]

Green is the worst SG starter in the NBA.

[hater]

Delisandwich and JR going in doggy style on them spurs :lol

[TDfan2007]

They're getting good looks. Cavs are brimming with confidence. Spurs need to cut down to 6 or less by halftime hopefully.

They're hitting regardless. 3 stepback jumpers and that weird fingerroll by Love in traffic. We're compounding things with awful D and poor shot-making

[SAGirl]

Turd Towers rim protection:lmao
D.West late.
We are royally screwed if the team is going to play like this against elite competition.

[Silver&Black]

Down by 12...32-20. Need to get our shit together.

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

[Fireball]

TP exiting the game put us in a hole ... Patty had some nice plays in the end, but a little late tbh

[Nathan89]

Need to get some length on Delly. Have Mills guard Shump.

[Vokun]

We need a quick spark. Put in Simmons or Boban or both.

[sasaint]

cavs making it look easy

Shooting a great percentage - some tough shots but mostly open looks. Big problem is we are not close to their energy level.

[tholdren]

Danny green needs cut

[ElNono]

Coasting. Non-Issue

[timtonymanu]

Green is the worst SG starter in the NBA.

Even though that isn't true, there is still Andre Roberson.

[RD2191]

Lol spurs. Exposed as frauds once again. Blow it up. Rebuild.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

We have to get this W above all, tbh... won't be a Spurs fan for quite a long time if we don't win this one... can't be this gutless

[Perry Mason]

Cavs are playing with a lot of energy and intensity. They will tire out. Spurs need to keep playing their game and speed up.

These Cavs play like the 2013/2014 Heat - tons of swarming and interference on defense (not as many traps).

[hater]

:lol and Kylie hasn't even taken off his jacket :lol :lol

[BanditHiro]

is this a worst effort than the Houston x-mas game?

[spursistan]

Settling for Manu step-back 3 at end of quarter is a telegraphed Spurs go-to move..All teams ready for that shit..

[loveforthegame]

Leonard busting his ass off on defense. Going up against the best player in the world. And getting treated like a step child on offense. Sad.

[BillMc]

Reel em in

[Arcadian]

FG% will regress to the mean for both teams. Spurs will be right back in this.

[Killakobe81]

Still early but this doesnt look like all time elite defense. Hood news is Kiwi can still punish defenders his size or smaller still can check LeBron (with help) and manu Mills and green have all hit deep shots.

[Fireball]

Wtf is going on?????

as always Spurs are getting their asses handed to them on national TV

Cavs defense is really good though

[hater]

Told u nigas nobody is beating the cavs this year :lol told u so

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Turd Towers rim protection:lmao

Need Boban in or something. D-Worst is the worst.

[Kawhitstorm]

Of course West is shit when you bench him the game before...

:pop: :lmao dumbass

Turd Towers against Mozgov/Tristan & Tim/LMA when Love is in the game.:lmao

[Raven]

for some reason they keep shooting inefficient long jumpers...

[TheGreatYacht]

Enough with the Manu stepback 3's.... I swear to god I don't remember the last time he made one

[BatManu20]

Coasting. Non-Issue

[Budkin]

What a pathetic effort so far.

[Kawhitstorm]

Need Boban in or something. D-Worst is the worst.

Boban against Mozgov should be fine.

[Nathan89]

LMA is showing his softness. Really a great display of the concerns people have with his game in the 1st quarter. He's going to have finish when he's that close to the basket and he's going to need to hit his mid-range shot.

[Vokun]

Absolutely no excuse not to get LMA more involved in the post early.

[NASpurs]

Jesus Christ, if they're going to shit the bed, might as well put in Boban, Simmons and Anderson.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

the fuck is this shit? fuck this commercial

[tholdren]

Settling for Manu step-back 3 at end of quarter is a telegraphed Spurs go-to move..All teams ready for that shit..

Yet he was still defended by a big, and got separation

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Jesus Christ, if they're going to shit the bed, might as well put in Boban, Simmons and Anderson.

NO. Fuck that scrub

[ElNono]

We're just letting the Cavs relax and get their guard down... Then Bobo will punish them

[Kawhitstorm]

Enough with the Manu stepback 3's.... I swear to god I don't remember the last time he made one

Pop: "But he's Manu, I remember him making it in 2005":lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

Turd Towers against Mozgov/Tristan & Tim/LMA when Love is in the game.:lmao
Tim's postups... Holy shit.

[BatManu20]

ST melting down after 1 quarter per par :lol. Cavs played their best quarter of the season, their role players didn't miss, and the Spurs looked lethargic. We'll be fine. Just gotta pick it up.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

fucking kike blatt

[Fireball]

Boban will not play ... Pop always feels like he has to protect newbies in such "big" games

[Killakobe81]

Shumpert doing work

[james evans]

we're down by 12 and yall are acting as if we're down by 30. Down 12 points with 36 minutes to go

[UNT Eagles 2016]

D-Worst :pctoss

[loveforthegame]

GTFO Green.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

WTF with this defense? :pctoss

[timtonymanu]

Ownage continues

[Cry Havoc]

Still early but this doesnt look like all time elite defense. Hood news is Kiwi can still punish defenders his size or smaller still can check LeBron (with help) and manu Mills and green have all hit deep shots.

Cavs shot 4/4 from deep. That helps a lot.

[NASpurs]

Shumpert pull-up 3s? Game over :lol

[Vokun]

Are people going to fucking tell me that West is a better option than Boban at this point? Give me a break

[tholdren]

for some reason they keep shooting inefficient long jumpers...
Lol spurs mo where you been

[Nathan89]

Can Diaw get the ball already.

[TDfan2007]

Blowout alert

[sasaint]

So the cavs can play so well against the spurs but not the warriors such bullshit

The Cavs are not the only team. Warriors are one year champs. Spurs are a twenty year dynasty.

[atoyotagaspedal]

this is just sad, playing like sorry fucks

[Kawhitstorm]

We need a quick spark. Put in Simmons or Boban or both.

Could use Simmon's energy against Shumpert

[tholdren]

Are people going to fucking tell me that West is a better option than Boban at this point? Give me a break

Pops loyalty bs

[Robz4000]

Scrubs hitting left and right...

[testies]

DAVID WEST = CANCER

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Dick Jefferson in...

[davidbowie]

this is fuckin embarrassing

[Fireball]

ST melting down after 1 quarter per par :lol. Cavs played their best quarter of the season, their role players didn't miss, and the Spurs looked lethargic. We'll be fine. Just gotta pick it up.

love the glass is a quarter full approach ...

[UNT Eagles 2016]

DAVID WEST = CANCER
And AIDS.

[Killakobe81]

Cavs shot 4/4 from deep. That helps a lot.

Wide open lobs to tristan Thpmpson dont help either

[Kawhitstorm]

West guarding 7'2' Mozgov:lmao

[spurtech09]

wow spurs getting whooped at home.....whats the deal?

[resistanze]

Scrubs hitting left and right...

Open shots builds confidence for scrubs. Worst defense I've sen all year from them..

[UNT Eagles 2016]

this is just sad, playing like sorry fucks

this

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Fuck you Mills scrub

[spurtech09]

Spurs not playing good at all...Manu the only one playing good......everyone else is just not there...

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Blocking foul? :lol Please retire, Marv Albert.

[timtonymanu]

Big Croissant

[Killakobe81]

Diaw is sooo valuable

[tholdren]

Not sure if I hate Jr smith or danny green more

[spurtech09]

The basket just doesn't like the Spurs....

[loveforthegame]

Fuck off Green. Fuck off.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Green, SHOOT the first one! :bang

[spursistan]

Green :lmao

[NASpurs]

Green :lmao

[SpursFan86]

Are you fucking kidding me Danny???????

[RD2191]

Spurs are fools gold tbh. Inflated record due to playing shit teams early in the season.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Enrique, FUCK! :bang

[Budkin]

Even RJ bending us over :lol

[hitmanyr2k]

Danny Green is pure comedy from midrange or off the dribble :lol That was his favorite airball shot from last years playoffs.

[NASpurs]

Parker :lmao

[tholdren]

Bwahaha green

[Kawhitstorm]

Danny:bang

[timtonymanu]

Green smh

[Killakobe81]

Diaw againwith the block!

[spursistan]

Green :lmao

[UNT Eagles 2016]

FUCK you Green! :bang

[MVPCues]

Talk about missed chances...

[Uriel]

Danny Green is a trainwreck on offense. He's garbage when he tries to create and garbage when he tries to shoot.

[TheGreatYacht]

Green legit needs to get traded.

[boutons_deux]

Holy shit. Danny

[beirmeistr]

green is a pos
