Game Thread: Spurs @ Suns -- Thurs. (1/21) - 9:30PM (5:30AM Riga Time)

[TheDoctor]

Simmons still has a knack for fouling.

[SpurPadre]

Boban posterized twice already

And none of them stared him down afterwards, lol.

[2centsworth]

Simmons sort of blowing his opportunity to shine. Decent game, but was hoping he could put team on his back.

[AFMadison]

I want Boban ISO for the next ten plays. Release this offensive juggernaut

[UNT Eagles 2016]

One more run to put these scrubs away

[HarlemHeat37]

Is there a point in re-watching this game? I just turned it on, and it looks like there's 100-150 people in attendance:lol..

[Silver&Black]

Fuck Bonner tbh

TheDoctor...

My nigga.

[MultiTroll]

u play defense, you get dunked on eventually. It happens. Show me a center that has never been dunked on, and I'll show up a center that I woudln't want on my team

[SAGirl]

Does Simmons ever pass the ball?
He can pass really well. I think he's been told to be aggressive.
They only ever do what Pop wants.

[TheDoctor]

He'd probably make it. He's white, and he doesn't miss a lot of those.
Still, you dont want Len inside the line once he stepped out.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I could ride a horse better than that girl

[Horry Hipcheck]

Is there a point in re-watching this game? I just turned it on, and it looks like there's 100-150 people in attendance:lol..

I set it to record because I thought I'd be at work, turns out I'm watching the 4th quarter live and I think I'll just delete the recording when the game ends.

[TheGreatYacht]

Do the Suns have the shittiest arena name? It's up there with Sleep Train and Smoothie King, I'll tell you that :lol

[dabom]

Is there a point in re-watching this game? I just turned it on, and it looks like there's 100-150 people in attendance:lol..

nah

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Ugh, still can't put them away! Piss poor defense...

[HarlemHeat37]

Simmons is an energy player, his role is to come in and give you 10 minutes of high-energy transition basketball and athleticism..I don't know why people here think Pop is actually going to start him in meaningful games, this year:lol..you can't be mad at him when he's turning the ball over and he's out of control, that's his style of play and he doesn't have any NBA experience..

Give him time to get his shit together, tbh..

[sasaint]

Is there a point in re-watching this game? I just turned it on, and it looks like there's 100-150 people in attendance:lol..

If you want to scout our bench or see Devin Booker, this would be your game.

[100%duncan]

Kiwi gonna stat pad yay

[r0drig0lac]

Klay Booker

[SAGirl]

Is there a point in re-watching this game? I just turned it on, and it looks like there's 100-150 people in attendance:lol..
A lot of development for the young guys. If you are intrigued by them, there is re-watching potential. I like to see these guys develop. You will see mistakes as guys are working through their stuff, but also nice plays from them.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Someone please put that phony scrub Booker in his place... a nice two piece would do it, D-West...

[Horry Hipcheck]

McCallum looking like old school Parker a bit tbh

[LongtimeSpursFan]

He can pass really well. I think he's been told to be aggressive.
They only ever do what Pop wants.

Draw and dish. You attract a secondary defender you've done your job and hand it off to next guy.

[FaM0us Skins]

Bonner!

[AFMadison]

BANG

[BatManu20]

Bonner!

[HarlemHeat37]

If you want to scout our bench or see Devin Booker, this would be your game.

I picked up Booker on my fantasy team, last month, he's a monster..

[100%duncan]

Bonner....





My nigga

[playbonner15]

THATS MAH BOY BONN3R!!

[HI-FI]

Bonner with the underrated goods

[Horry Hipcheck]

Kevin Harlan with no choice but to use those great vocals on Bonner :lol

[r0drig0lac]

Red Rocket!!!

[SAGirl]

Harlem, Kawhi has also been working on his own game. Every time he's in there they feed him. I think he's ironing out his timing, decision making on when to pass, etc. Stuff like that.

[FaM0us Skins]

Interesting lineup for Spurs: Two guys normally inactive (Bonner, Butler), two guys who've been to D-League (McCallum, Boban) -- and Kawhi

[Silver&Black]

Everybody but Gino has scored a basket...

:lol Ginobili
:lol Skunker
:lol ElNono

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Simmons is an energy player, his role is to come in and give you 10 minutes of high-energy transition basketball and athleticism..I don't know why people here think Pop is actually going to start him in meaningful games, this year:lol..you can't be mad at him when he's turning the ball over and he's out of control, that's his style of play and he doesn't have any NBA experience..

Give him time to get his shit together, tbh..
Yep. Kawhi had the same problems as Simmons his rookie year, tbh.

[r0drig0lac]

Kawhi Harden today

[james evans]

Leonard and Aldridge played and didn't do very much... if we can't beat scrub teams like this without the old big 3 then we're in very, very bad hands
we're up by 21. haha. U want us to win every game by 30 or 40? We're up by 21 right now. That's a bad thing?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Interesting lineup for Spurs: Two guys normally inactive (Bonner, Butler), two guys who've been to D-League (McCallum, Boban) -- and Kawhi
so 5 scrubs for us?

[Silver&Black]

Get Kawhi outta the fucking game Pop...

[sasaint]

I picked up Booker on my fantasy team, last month, he's a monster..

He had a very impressive outing tonight. Dude can fill it up.

[AFMadison]

To me, he looked like he played some nice defense, specially in transition, and he made 1 3. He hasn't played much. Pop developing new guys this game mostly. We have had a lot of Kawhi practicing his game, Simmons, Ray, Anderson and Boban. Vets sprinkled in to help, but these guys having to figure things out.
:bobo

[GSH]

And none of them stared him down afterwards, lol.

I guess that makes them honorary Spurs.

BTW - when Tony fucked a teammate's wife, and made him a laughingstock... was that Spur-like?

[horsielove]

Kiwi statpadding

[UNT Eagles 2016]

we're up by 21. haha. U want us to win every game by 30 or 40? We're up by 21 right now. That's a bad thing?
It's not the score right now. It's the way we've gotten here. Way too many minutes for Kawhi, LMA et al.

[100%duncan]

Good guy Pop, letting Kawhi get his 21.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Great double team by Simmons.

[playbonner15]

Simmons and Butler should always be on the floor to confuse people

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Len might be the worst matchup in the NBA for Boban.

[james evans]

for the rest of the season, we know what to expect. Anytime we don't win a game by 40, UNT Eagles is gonna explode

[ducks]

Now can they get it to 25

[Robz4000]

Is there a point in re-watching this game? I just turned it on, and it looks like there's 100-150 people in attendance:lol..

Unless you wanna see Booker ir LMA look soft, there's nothing of note.

[Spurtacular]

Pop and Messina wearing matching outfits :lol

[HarlemHeat37]

Simmons and Butler should always be on the floor to confuse people

:lol

[SpurPadre]

I guess that makes them honorary Spurs.

BTW - when Tony fucked a teammate's wife, and made him a laughingstock... was that Spur-like?

You still don't pick up on my sarcasm?

[BillMc]

Now can they get it to 25

Thinkin' the same thing

[james evans]

It's not the score right now. It's the way we've gotten here. Way too many minutes for Kawhi, LMA et al.
way too many minutes????? THEY HAVEN'T EVEN PLAYED 2 FULL QUARTERS!!! :lol Da hell are you talking about?

[100%duncan]

Kevin Harlan with no choice but to use those great vocals on Bonner :lol

:lmao

[UNT Eagles 2016]

for the rest of the season, we know what to expect. Anytime we don't win a game by 40, UNT Eagles is gonna explode
No, not at all. It's not about the final score, it's about the personality of the game. We screwed the pooch for 3 quarters and decided to play basketball instead of lacrosse early in the 4th and closed it out. As a result, we cost ourselves a LOT of rest. If we lose tomorrow because of this, I'm going to be pissed for awhile.

[TheDoctor]

TheDoctor...

My nigga.
:bobo

[thiste]

How can you be so stressful and pessimistic UNT? I just don't understand

[SAGirl]

Len on Boban's back and no call!
Several very doubtful no calls this game. He also got "blocked", not so, guys were all over him not with hands straight up.
Kyle was getting held several times. Booker keeps getting away with pushing ppl off.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

can't give up the second chance 3

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Rasual! :tu

[Silver&Black]

:lol Fathead pulling the chair out on Len

[KDKSpurs24]

It's not the score right now. It's the way we've gotten here. Way too many minutes for Kawhi, LMA et al.
Way too many minutes? Really dude? 22 mins for Kawhi and 21 for LMA...

[Horry Hipcheck]

way too many minutes????? THEY HAVEN'T EVEN PLAYED 2 FULL QUARTERS!!! :lol Da hell are you talking about?

Kawhi with fewer minutes in this game than years of his life. :lol

[100%duncan]

Hold them under 80 or we lost

[UNT Eagles 2016]

How can you be so stressful and pessimistic UNT? I just don't understand
It's about effort and heart. We didn't show it for 3 quarters. That's 2 too many.

[Silver&Black]

Simm:wowns...

My nigga.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Simmons! :tu

[100%duncan]

JSIMMS :wow

[weeks]

omg simmons

[james evans]

I think Simmons should be in the slam dunk contest and kawhi in the 3 point shoot out

[TheDoctor]

Rasaul is an inbreed between Simmons and Reggie Williams.

[r0drig0lac]

Simms slam!!!!

[Mnky]

Simmons thought about laying that up twice before dunking it... :lol

Jeez I wish I had that hangtime.

[GSH]

You still don't pick up on my sarcasm?


Whatever. You weren't being sarcastic when Boban picked up the flagrant. You just kept arguing with people about it. If you've switched teams now, I guess I missed the conversion.

Just drop the subject?

[SAGirl]

What position is Kyle right now? you tell me.

[sasaint]

SIMMOMS dunks with no jet afterward...

[raybies]

Nah, you're just a negative Nancy.

Simms dunkkkkkkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Silver&Black]

We are so staaaaaaaaaacked.

It's not fair.

[SpurPadre]

I think Simmons should be in the slam dunk contest and kawhi in the 3 point shoot out

A Spur in the slam dunk contest would be surreal.

[Kawhitstorm]

Simmons and Butler should always be on the floor to confuse people

Decoy play:wow (Kawhi would form the 3 amigos if he had a fade:lol)

[SAGirl]

The 5
:pop::pop::pop::pop::pop:

lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Almost mistook Butler for LMA, tbh :lol

[james evans]

Way too many minutes? Really dude? 22 mins for Kawhi and 21 for LMA...


Kawhi with fewer minutes in this game than years of his life. :lol
I don't understand him at all. He's losing it. As if he put cash on the spurs to win by 30

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Simmons is tha thick dick nigga

[baseline bum]

OMG that pass from Slowmo to Butler

[SAGirl]

Kyle swish!

[100%duncan]

Wtf cant believe drummond and butler are not starting :lmao

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Nah, you're just a negative Nancy.
Happy we won. We have to win tomorrow, though. Can't drop easy ones in this tight of a race

[Mnky]

Kyle guarding a power forward and doing alright. Develop that Diaw post life Kyle..

[GSH]

It's about effort and heart. We didn't show it for 3 quarters. That's 2 too many.


I think what people are saying is that if they Spurs did what you expect, they'd win every game by at least 30. Games like this they'd win by 60.

It's not gonna happen, and they're already sporting the most gaudy point diff we've seen in forever.

[itzsoweezee]

I really enjoy watching Anderson play. Looking for to some major minutes for him next year.

[SAGirl]

Kyle growing up baby!

[Kawhitstorm]

Almost mistook Butler for LMA, tbh :lol

I knew it wasn't LMA when he drove without pump-faking:lol

just hold em under 90 and call it a night

[SAGirl]

I really enjoy watching Anderson play. Looking for to some major minutes for him next year.
He's going to be something. Slow mo and all, dude can play!

[Horry Hipcheck]

We screwed the pooch for 3 quarters and decided to play basketball instead of lacrosse early in the 4th and closed it out. As a result, we cost ourselves a LOT of rest. If we lose tomorrow because of this, I'm going to be pissed for awhile.

Aldridge and Kawhi have 22 minutes each. None of the other primary rotation players have more than 19. L.A. is a six hour drive west. Doesn't matter how much rest Pop wants for the starters, he's not gonna run Anderson and Simmons for 40 minutes. Not when the opponent tomorrow is the second worst team in the league. If the Spurs blow it against the Lakers, it won't be because of rest.

I wasn't arguing with everyone. You were having a mental breakdown out of it. :lol Just relax and enjoy the win, man.

[r0drig0lac]

Rasuuuuuuuu

I mean this team is tanking, but that pnr D by Kyle, not bad.. those arms screw up all kinds of passing lanes

Damn Dubs have caught up to us of late... against pretty good competition on the road, too...

[SAGirl]

Rasualllll Butler!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Main thing that pisses me off this season is we're 37–6 and will likely win 65+ and NOT get the #1 seed and thus will bow out in the WCF. Piss-off.

Dunno about that. But pointing it out b/c some of ST'ers seem to think that.

Payback for the Boban poster:toast

[SAGirl]

:tu:tu
best bench in the league, by far.

[Horry Hipcheck]

It still amazes me that the Spurs have constructed a third string that can score AND play solid D.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

WTF with these BS ticky tack away from the play fouls in the penalty refs? Do you want to be up till 2am and get killed by drunk drivers tonight, refs?

[Kawhitstorm]

He's a small forward dork.

He's a stretch 4 like Bonner:rolleyes

[AFMadison]

Slomo does look confident out there and played pretty good d too. Hoping he can bring something to the table come playoffs.

[Mnky]

Well there goes our 25 pt win record... We need to shake it up and make a trade.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Boban got a little cocky there and got his pocket picked :lol

[Spurtacular]

Doubling off of Corpse McCallum to steal it from Boban; good fundamentals, tbh.

The youger guys have talent, and the vets are a known quantity who can shoot and play position defense in case we need them (an injury, hope not)

Bobi

[r0drig0lac]

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Hold em under 90... :ihit

Are you kidding me man? Ignore list is for ignorant pussies!

Almost as bad as the Pels :lol

[AFMadison]

Nice!

Who lied to you...

Boban started slow, but he got it going. These are the most minutes he's played. over 20.

[spurs10]

christ, these meet the hoopers commercials are painful
the 'no ring' joke doesn't have to be explained to us, we aren't retarded Not as horrible as the AT&T commercial with the college roommates dropping their coffee cups through the glass table without any expression and somehow it's about 'reliabilty?':downspin:

FUCK YOU ARCHIE GOODWIN MOTHERFUCKER :pctoss

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Held them under 90 :toast

[SpurPadre]

If TD, TP and Manu must play tomorrow, just the first quarter please, Pop.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Kevin Harlan is a flaming idiot, tbh.

[thiste]

under 90, 28pt differential...

[Mnky]

Kyle gives boban the perfect oop pass, and he didn't know what to do with it... And people want this fool replacing Duncan?? :lol

I wish we had more guys who could throw oops beside Duncan and Kyle. We miss a lot of easy buckets without it

[Kawhitstorm]

It still amazes me that the Spurs have constructed a third string that can score AND play solid D.

The 3rd stringers are compromised of 3 summer league MVPs, the best center in Euroleague & 10+ year vets (Bonner/Rasual)

[james evans]

damn, I've never heard Leonard talk this much.

[Silver&Black]

Spur win 117-89...go to 37-6 on the season.

Great interview with Kawhi.

Great leadership from our vets too.

[DeRozan m8]

Anyone see Kawhi interviewed after the game?

Dudes been working on his media skills for All Star i reckon, first time he wasn't monotone and had a bit of life in his voice hahah

[sasaint]

butler need to play a few minutes, you are still a very productive guy

Actually, he was very impressive - a real pro. Gets nothing but DNPs but comes in and hits shots as if he does it every night and gets a nice energetic block. Glad to have the guy. Hope he gets his ring!

[BanditHiro]

another 25+ point win. i think we are close to the record for the most ever in a season

Red Mamba saves us again!

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Suns aren't that bad tbh. If they keep all their good prospects, they don't get injured, and get 2-3 top-5 picks in the next 3-4 years, I can see them making the 2022 playoffs as the 8th seed.

[SAGirl]

Actually, he was very impressive - a real pro. Gets nothing but DNPs but comes in and hits shots as if he does it every night and gets a nice energetic block. Glad to have the guy. Hope he gets his ring!
Agree with you.
And I don't know if you have seen him through the season, but he talks and encourages Simmons/Kyle a lot, specially when they get bad calls or get pulled by Pop due to mistakes. He seems like he's a genuine good guy. Just stays ready, helps out, and will help you win a game if you are in a jiffy.

[Horry Hipcheck]

The youger guys have talent, and the vets are a known quantity who can shoot and play position defense in case we need them (an injury, hope not)

It's like how people here still expect the Spurs to lose the second night of a back to back. It was just what the Spurs did for such a long time. Just the same, the third string was always responsible for letting an opponent back into a game late and blowing a huge win. It doesn't help that I can only watch nationally televised games so I rarely watch this team play.

[BillMc]

Grats to Boban!!!!!

[Kawhitstorm]

Lol, he's trolling Raymond Green.

Draymond actually is a good politician & simply said "He's a champion, he deserves it" when Kawhi won DPOY although he made a snarky comment by saying "I won the popular vote" b/c he had the most 1st place votes.:lol

[tmtcsc]

Victory!:flag:


Awesome! How apropos - Bo Bo wearing bobo shoes.

Congrats on your 25-point victory tonight.

Our best player is 19-year-old Devin Booker and I'm not even exaggerating.
28pts (j/k)

Devin is a BEAST. So fearless. Love his game.

In the local media, he kept making sarcastic comments about him not getting the award and when they won the title, he said he showed the world he is the real best defensive player in the league.

SAGirl everytime Kyle makes a bucket:

Ties our best start through 45 games, with the ill-starred 2011 team. If we win tomorrow, we will surpass 2011, at least for the meanwhile.

I never saw him say that. I remember him saying Kawhi was the best after their game tho

Mixed game for Boban. Len is probably his worst matchup in the NBA, or close. Boban has a lot to learn.

[SAGirl]

Kyle guarding a power forward and doing alright. Develop that Diaw post life Kyle..
Now that I think about it, and jokes aside, since everyone knows I am a fan...
He is like Diaw in that you can sub him at several spots and be decent. Even Diaw is sometimes an undersized C. Kyle's 9 FT tall with those arms extended and he has timing to block shots and not foul. Obviously, he's a project... but an intriguing one. What other player has Pop had play the 1-5 in a season. Garbage time and all, but he's played every position.

After that one game but after the Finals, he was telling Ray Ratto, Tom Tolbert and then Damon Bruce how he got screwed out of the award.

I don't think he could pull off a center, unless they were playing against smaller ball, but I could see him developing against pfs if he hit that gym and took the LeBron supplement package. Get strong enough in the legs to not get pushed around. Like you said, he has the length.

That's crazy I missed it. I'll have to look it up.

I agree with you, and I don't think Pop would play him even as a 4 now bc he's such a lightweight, but so many teams nowadays play so many weird lineups, specially when they are hoping to come back from behind.

Hope the Pacers can pull off the upset tomorrow so one seed is up for grabs Monday.

Im just joking around, I'm sure others are as well. This place is better when it's not a total sausage fest. Shittalking is how we get along here.

After the Robert Sarver rant a few years ago when the Spurs rested players, I wonder if Pop gets extra satisfaction sitting Tony and Tim and still blowing them out.

Does Simmons realistically have a shot to make the dunk contest?

I don't even know how they select guys for it. I suppose you can submit an application showing your desire..
If anyone knows, do tell.

Boban has the goods. Just can't play him too many minutes.

[dabom]

Warriettes go small ball. Spurs go big ball for limited minutes. :lol
