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

[Boogie Munster]

all those stops for fucking nothing.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Danny green where have you gone...

[timtonymanu]

Enrique and Icy Green providing the blooper reel

[Silver&Black]

lol verde

[ceperez]

Oh man... Green is ridiculously bad.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Easily the most frustrating game of the year.

Hopefully Spurs find their groove soon.

[Nathan89]

Danny Green and his fucking noodle legs. Goodness they were fucking shaking.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

That was WIDE THE FUCK open! Will the Spurs ever trade that Green scrub? :bang

[sasaint]

Danny barely grazed the rim. Meh!

[Vokun]

Green and West are cancers. Get Simmons and boban in already. Can't be any worse

[SAGirl]

I cant believe 38 yr old Manu is the one showing up for this.
I think I am in that camp... ElNono's camp. When Manu and TD hang it up. Its over.

[Trainwreck2100]

holy fuck that sequence

[tholdren]

You assholes all love green. Say something about his defense

[Raven]

damn those shots from dg were not even close

[spurtech09]

Green O my.....no disrespect but why is green struggling so much....Get Simmons out there...

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Holy Fuck Green sucks

[r0drig0lac]

fuck off Danny

[ElNono]

Danny smfh

[Agloco]

Damn, it just gets worse for Verde. What an ugly sequence.

[Texas_Ranger]

they are paying 10M for this piece of shit

[Fireball]

Danny was totally gassed before that 3 attempt ...

[cutewizard]

fuck

[UNT Eagles 2016]

all those stops for fucking nothing.
Get POS green out of there. At least Simmons is decisive and doesn't almost airball 3's

[Kawhitstorm]

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

Probably the best shooter with the WORST mid-range game in NBA history:lol

[cutewizard]

shit

[Raven]

Green O my.....no disrespect but why is green struggling so much....Get Simmons out there...
thats exactly why.

[SAGirl]

Green wide open

[cutewizard]

peste

[james evans]

7 points left on the table. green WIDE OPEN missed 3(we're used to it this season), parker missed layup and Hearst missed layup. I'm still happy the way we rebounded. We're a slow starting team some games. Be patient guys. Stop overreacting as if we've never been down 12 points. damn

[100%duncan]

This team without kawhi on the floor sucks against elite teams. Is pop gonna treat kawhi like tony allen and just put him in when lebron is on the floor like he's some 35 yr old? Fuck.

[cutewizard]

im putting bad spells on the cavs

[NASpurs]

Pop's a faggot for shortening the rotation

[UNT Eagles 2016]

they are paying 10M for this piece of shit

DanMarco Murreen :lmao

[spurtech09]

Green and West are cancers. Get Simmons and boban in already. Can't be any worseStop with the cancer....BS

[pgardn]

holy fuck that sequence

Exhausting....

[littlecoyotecoin]

Just checking in...how's Green playing?

[TimDunkem]

And we thought Danny's confidence was coming back. :lol

[cutewizard]

shit cavs

[ceperez]

I cant believe 38 yr old Manu is the one showing up for this.
I think I am in that camp... ElNono's camp. When Manu and TD hang it up. Its over.

This is just sad that Spurs need to rely on Manu.

[Nathan89]

I cant believe 38 yr old Manu is the one showing up for this.
I think I am in that camp... ElNono (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=8054)'s camp. When Manu and TD hang it up. Its over.

Manu and TD both have IT. They just dial it up when the team needs it.

[kaji157]

Green and west are such cancers, once cant defend and cant attack, two straight posessions he threw the ball away first with manu open and the second straight up scared.
And west cant do anything better than diaw, he should be a 3rd sub.

[Kawhitstorm]

Danny was totally gassed before that 3 attempt ...

Pop needs to unleash Simmons so he can take advantage of Love

[cutewizard]

LMA my boy, try to show up ok

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Damn, it just gets worse for Verde. What an ugly sequence.

Short Dick n**** gonna shrivel per par

[davidbowie]

get boban in there

[tholdren]

Danny was totally gassed before that 3 attempt ...

He's been gassed for almost 40 games then

[cutewizard]

Boban must play

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Green and west are such cancers, once cant defend and cant attack, two straight posessions he threw the ball away first with manu open and the second straight up scared.
And west cant do anything better than diaw, he should be a 3rd sub.

I'd rather have Boban in there than West tbh.

[cutewizard]

fuck it

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Stop with the cancer....BS

Fine, then. AIDS

[Nathan89]

Can't believe Green at this point.

[james evans]

Green O my.....no disrespect but why is green struggling so much....Get Simmons out there...
when Green doesn't think about shooting, he hits. He came down and didn't hesitate on the pull up 3 on the fast break. Once he thinks about it even a little bit, he misses. It's as if most of the time he's open, he's thinking, "please God let me hit this. I missed my last 4"

[cjw]

Green throws one ball away earlier when he tries to dribble, then gives up a wide open three for a two he misses by a foot, and then bricks a three. Think he missed a layup too but could be confusing that for another game as it happens all the damn time.

At least he hit one earlier in game.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Fucking layup drill down 10?! :bang

[Kawhitstorm]

That was WIDE THE FUCK open! Will the Spurs ever trade that Green scrub? :bang

Chinook about to call in a bomb threat:lol

[100%duncan]

Lol diaw u fat fuck

[sasaint]

Danny Green and his fucking noodle legs. Goodness they were fucking shaking.

:lmao Diaw shoulda shot the ball in the paint. Then Danny shoulda shot the corner three (but the noodles got him!) so instead he dribbles in for the horrible mid-range deuce that he airmailed!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Fucking kidding me with these TURNOVERS? :pctoss

[tholdren]

Yay green out a here now trade

[Fireball]

He's been gassed for almost 40 games then

no, he misses too many open shots, but that one was foreseeable

[Kawhitstorm]

Can't fuck around Shumpers, he's like Kawhi

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Go Simmons!

[100%duncan]

Captain west :wow

[raybies]

Sad the big 3 are the only ones not wetting the bed

[Ron Swanson]

West doing some work

[loveforthegame]

West working hard. :tu

[spurtech09]

West !!!!!!

[Diego20]

Good one by TP :lol

[NASpurs]

D Best :smokin

[UNT Eagles 2016]

D-Worst got lucky that guy mistimed his jump, tbh.

[timtonymanu]

West and 1!!!

[sasaint]

when Green doesn't think about shooting, he hits. He came down and didn't hesitate on the pull up 3 on the fast break. Once he thinks about it even a little bit, he misses. It's as if most of the time he's open, he's thinking, "please God let me hit this. I missed my last 4"

EXACTLY!

[Budkin]

We haven't had a meltdown like this since the playoffs!

[SAGirl]

7 points left on the table. green WIDE OPEN missed 3(we're used to it this season), parker missed layup and Hearst missed layup. I'm still happy the way we rebounded. We're a slow starting team some games. Be patient guys. Stop overreacting as if we've never been down 12 points. damn
Definitely a character builder. This team has not seen enough adversity.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

STOPS! come on!

[Kawhitstorm]

Dick Jefferson helpin':lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Simmons can't buy a break with those ticky tack fouls :bang

[Fireball]

Diaw is defended aggressively ... the Warriors will do the same

[100%duncan]

Kawhi. What the fuck.

[tholdren]

no, he misses too many open shots, but that one was foreseeable

Because scared

[TDfan2007]

:lol that pass, Kawhi

[spurtech09]

Sloppy

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Dick airball... TERRIBLE PASS! :bang

[GSH]

WTF Kawhi? You don't waste a stop like that.

[RD2191]

Wtf kawhi

[BatManu20]

Jesus Spurs stop turning the fucking ball over

[timtonymanu]

Kawhi with the Danny pass

[Vokun]

Spurs are just trying to do too much. Jesus Christ, just slow it down

[Perry Mason]

WHY IS KAWHI THROWING THE FUCKING BALL AWAY

[Slime Baller]

I had a phone call I couldn't get out of. I just started watching--what's the verdict so far? Winnable, or are we playing like crap on top of being down a little?

[100%duncan]

WEST.

[kaji157]

Poor Manu, he already has to make West and Mills look like legit NBA players, but now Pop has decided that he also has to make Green refocus...

[Ron Swanson]

West does it again

[ace3g]

West right into Love for that layup!!!

[loveforthegame]

West working. :tu

[Killakobe81]

West punking Love

[Budkin]

The turnovers...

[tholdren]

Love danny green scared on d

[Raven]

lolve

[raybies]

When does Kawhi ever try to make that pass

[UNT Eagles 2016]

A fucking stop after a score for a change?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

FUCKING FOUL? :pctoss

[james evans]

well what do u know, down 8. U guys overreact too much

[loveforthegame]

Leonard gets no respect.

[timtonymanu]

Chuck jinxing Kawhi tbh

[100%duncan]

Lol james gets touched then a foul. Kawhi gets bumped no call lmfao

[Vokun]

And then we have to deal with the fucking refs. I'm done with this game

[TDfan2007]

That is a disgusting moving screen by TT

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Leonard has to finish that strong, 5 point swing because of that

[UNT Eagles 2016]

WTF GET CANCER AND DIE REFS!!! HOW IS THAT A FOUL ONLY ON ONE END... ON OUR COURT!?!? :flipoff :pctoss

[emanueldavidginobili]

And KL can't get the same call

[spurtech09]

lol KL gets fouled and no call but yeah LG gets the love.

[timtonymanu]

well what do u know, down 8. U guys overreact too much

Now we're down 11

[SoonerSpur512]

The Cavs are mauling our guys on blocks

[Killakobe81]

Kiwi going right at Bron even tjough he missed ...love that. Wanna see the same from James ...

[resistanze]

Mobile screens :lol

[SuperCam]

Spurs are getting all the calls an still down double digits, not good tbh

[Perry Mason]

4 point swing. KL misses another chippy. Leroid gets a cheap one.

[pgardn]

Definitely a character builder. This team has not seen enough adversity.

We need this type of game.
Its all good.

[100%duncan]

Ball dont lie faggot

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Ball don't lie...bitch

[RD2191]

This is bullshit

[Ron Swanson]

Try to get it to 5 by halftime.

[Budkin]

NBA tired of Kawhi getting the best of LeBron.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

JR Shit is a faggot, tbh

[Spurtacular]

The phrase Call It Both Ways comes to mind.

[SpursFan86]

I feel like 3/4 of our possessions this game have been post-ups. I know we're a heavy post-up team, but it seems excessive tonight.

[sasaint]

:lol that pass, Kawhi

Tbh it was just a miscommunication with West. He pulled up rather than continue to the glass for the lob.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Don't choke, TD, we need every point we can get

[tholdren]

How smith and green got into the nba is baffling

[SAGirl]

the showboating by Lebron...

[cjw]

Lol @ JR asking where the foul was there.

[spurraider21]

kawhi trying too hard to make the allstar team instead of playing smart spurs ball

[UNT Eagles 2016]

FUCK! :bang

[100%duncan]

Finally a fastbreak

[james evans]

Now we're down 11
7

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. :tu

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Fucking sissy defense! :bang

[timtonymanu]

Tony Parker

[Ron Swanson]

TOny :wow

[UNT Eagles 2016]

GET SOME STOPS! We're fucking losing!

[Killakobe81]

Tony! Tony Tony!!!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

FUCKING SECOND CHANCES!! WHERE'S THE EFFORT??!?! :pctoss

[atoyotagaspedal]

get a rebound?

[kaji157]

You know that this game the Spurs will go as far as the Big 3 take them, right??

[sasaint]

Leonard gets no respect.

Duh! He's a Spur!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Enrique :bang terrible shot

[GSH]

Dammit... ball bouncing right to them. Spurs can't hit open shots on the other end.

[Kawhitstorm]

LMA:bang

[SAGirl]

Tony

[timtonymanu]

Kawhi is in a slump forreal

[SASdynasty!]

Parker shutting down Lebron per par

[Budkin]

Maybe we just need a good asskicking to get focused for the rest of the season.

[hitmanyr2k]

Typical Lebron. Holds the ball forever and then makes his teammate take a last second bailout shot lol.

[sasaint]

LeBron pushed off Parker - no call!?!?!?

[Vokun]

Parker with the great defense

[james evans]

damn. good D parker

[tholdren]

Parker defends james better than green

[TDfan2007]

Beautiful D by Tony there. He's playing a great game. Another rimmed out shot though...

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Duh! He's a Spur!

Sad but true tbh. It's hard to have been a perennial Spurs fan for so long, tbh.

[cutewizard]

we cannot be possibly this bad

[GSH]

Parker up in LeBron's grill, and so Bron just shoves him away. Makes it easier when you can get space that way.

[RD2191]

Kawhi playing like complete shit.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

The Delly-Lebron PnR is so reminiscent of the Cole-LeBron PnR

[hater]

Holy shit. Parker in Lebronz head :wow

mVP imo

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs finally getting a game where the refs love them.

[Kawhitstorm]

Tony: Lockdown :toast

[Killakobe81]

Lol tired LeBron cant beat parker 1 on 1 good d by Tony though yall need to leave that lil nicca alone

[Uriel]

Missed 3 by Kawhi. Missed 3 by Tony. We just can't get shots to fall right now.

[cutewizard]

shit cavs

[Fireball]

TP is working his ass off :toast

[sasaint]

Kawhi is in a slump forreal

And at a bad time.

[Vokun]

And Kawhi's shot looks broken. Dude just literally shot that 3 with one hand :lmao

[Kidd K]

Damn Parker actually showing some defensive tenacity there. And LeBron with the frustration foul on him after lol

[beirmeistr]

little tp being a pest on the ki ng

[cutewizard]

whre the fuk is lma today

[hater]

Tony MVParker tbh

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Damn this is ugly

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Maybe we just need a good asskicking to get focused for the rest of the season.

Hell no! HCA in the Finals is a top priority if we actually want to, you know, WIN the championship. Getting there and losing is less than worthless.

[Perry Mason]

TP and Manu came to play. But we need to get KL going on offense. Bad.

[cutewizard]

crazy game

[timtonymanu]

Starting 5 not scoring outside of Tony. Only down 9. Spurs just need to keep it under single digits at halftime.

[TheGreatYacht]

Parker, Manu, and Kawhi are the only people who came to play.

Green can go party with Lebron again.

[Nathan89]

Enrique :bang terrible shot

Wide open shot.

[BillMc]

TP is working his ass off :toast
Yep:toast

[sasaint]

Missed 3 by Kawhi. Missed 3 by Tony. We just can't get shots to fall right now.

Can't even remember how many have circled the rim and fallen out.

[benefactor]

Parker punking James on D was some of the funniest shit I've ever seen

[UNT Eagles 2016]

My stomach fucking hurts :cuss

[ElNono]

Hopefully nobody is worried yet... Lots of game to play...

[Budkin]

What the fuck happened to KL before the Detroit game?

[hater]

Can't believe its only a 8 pt game with Kawhi and LMAlpha playing like complete ass

[cutewizard]

LMA should show up..............we paid him for this

[-21-]

Parker is playing well. Kawhi needs to get in a rhythm. LMA is MIA so far. Green still sucking.

[cutewizard]

D green needs to get his bombs going too

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Wide open shot.
Yep. With 23 on the shot clock and out of his range. And he clanked it.

[100%duncan]

Tony Parker showed up.

[Nathan89]

TP is working his ass off :toast

Probably why he missed that 3pt shot. He's doing everything out there. Bonner may as well be stretching the floor for LMA.

[Uriel]

"We're playing like they're our big brother"

:lmao

[cutewizard]

we need another shooter tbh

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Pop is right about the big brother comment tbh

[Kawhitstorm]

Kawhi is in a slump forreal

They need to set him up for a corner 3, he's usually automatic from the corner but he hasn't shot those in 2016

[vander]

the whole "future of the team" playing like crap, only the old guys showing up

[tholdren]

Good thing sa has McCallum

[Silver&Black]

"We're playing like they're our big brother"

--:pop:

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Ugh stop trying to be hero Parker

[boutons_deux]

40%. Vs 53%

[BatManu20]

Need Kawhi to step up offensively. Tony having to do too much

[Kawhitstorm]

Can't even remember how many have circled the rim and fallen out.

Meanwhile LeBron is getting all the rimming shot to fall:bang

[sasaint]

Dammit... ball bouncing right to them. Spurs can't hit open shots on the other end.

Our energy has picked up, but not our karma.

[Silver&Black]

C'mon had Deli guarding Kawhi...get him the damn ball.

[pgardn]

Hopefully nobody is worried yet... Lots of game to play...

Hah!

UNT is a threat to himself.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME WITH THAT CALL?!? He was fucking moving? :cuss

[Kawhitstorm]

LMA not wanting to post up Bron:lmao, get David West in the game:wakeup

[resistanze]

Aldridge can't post up LeBron?

[RD2191]

Start simmons imo

[loveforthegame]

Leonard working hard. :tu

[BatManu20]

Ugh stop trying to be hero Parker

Kawhi and LMA not doing much offensively is the reason

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Are you fucking kidding me with this PUSSY defense? :bang

[Ron Swanson]

Tim, just stop.

[NASpurs]

Parker being picked on per par

[Silver&Black]

Awful shot Timmy...WTF.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I HATE that Stupid Duncan :bang

[GSH]

Damn, when they want some space from Parker they just shove him.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Duncan wtf

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

What is Duncan doing with that shot wtf

[TDfan2007]

Timmy doesn't have it today on O. He's only had one shot where he hasn't been horrible off balance.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Offensive foul much? :bang

[Vokun]

Parker the only one that showed up for this one

[TheGreatYacht]

This has to be Tim's last season. Holy fuck he's such a liability offensively

[SuperCam]

Lebron shitting on this team :lol

[Killakobe81]

Great dunk by James but do that shit on Kiwi then im impressed

[cutewizard]

oh cmon manu

[resistanze]

Duncan needs to stop with those silly off balance flip shots

[benefactor]

Fucking offensive foul. He just pushed Manu off of him

[RD2191]

Parker carrying scrubs per usual.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Kawhi and LMA not doing much offensively is the reason
Not running enough plays to get LMA open in the paint

[100%duncan]

:lol timmy is disgusting

[tholdren]

Aldridge can't post up LeBron?
He's a new age center/PF .. only midrange trash

[Robz4000]

Refs impacting the game again.

[cutewizard]

if we come up energetic we shall be there in the 3rd

[Fireball]

Spurs try hard, but they cannot get this deficit down

[UNT Eagles 2016]

That dunk doesn't count

[Kawhitstorm]

Kawhi and LMA not doing much offensively is the reason

Kawhi is out there making plays & starting fast break on top of playing defense meanwhile LMA is milk carton status on BOTH ends. Tim/Danny have been worse than Kawhi on offense.

[hater]

Lol spurs exposed tonight. We needed this asskicking tbh. Welcome asskicking :tu

[sasaint]

Tim, just stop.

Letting their bigs push him out of his spots but still taking shots. Forcing.

[cutewizard]

timmy came to play

[Nathan89]

LMA is invisible. Good god. He makes me grateful for TP.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Spurs are gonna be able to build a new proper downtown arena with all these bricks

[GSH]

Leonard, Aldridge, and Tim are a combined 2-13. Amazing the score isn't worse.
