UNT is going to catch an ulcer and die by age 30.

Cant even remember the last guy who was this negative here tbh..
You don't "catch" an ulcer. It's a sore in your colon/intestines that develops due to stress or too much acidic food. And they're rarely fatal, and only so if they are so severe that they make you bleed internally.

[SpursFan86]

Manu about to get a damn 5x5 at 38 years old :lol

[DMC]

Manu's basketball IQ (and probably total IQ) is greater than the entire Lakers roster combined outside of Kobe (who knows basketball pretty well also).

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Time to cut ties with Kawhi while we can still get something for him.
Why did we trade Paul George :bang

[Capster]

Nice game Ginobili!!! 20 points! Gotta Love it!

[spursistan]

Rasual Bulter is such a steal, tbh

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Spurs still getting manhandled on the defensive glass.

[SAGirl]

and as nice and necessary this game as Manu's scoring has been, he's been scrapping defensively as well. This second unit lacks complete interior presence playing small ball and has trouble rebounding. Its been Manu all along getting steals and scrapping.

Shades of the old Danny! Could it be? At last?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Amazing that it's only a 12 point game.
It's amazing how people play the Warriors thinking they have the personnel to put up a fight without actually studying some blueprint on how to beat them, how to get them out of their comfort zone, how to take away their bread and butter...

Yep, noticed that. I wish cameras caught more of that before rushing off to sell some junk.

Can't see this small ball unit against GSW though. Rebounding is a big issue.

[ace3g]

Beadle!!!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Spurs need to kill some clock, absolutely no reason to run a play with over 10 seconds on the shot clock

kobe, 5 points are the fewest he's scored against the Spurs in his career.

I am getting bad omens about the GSW game.

Tim can still rebound so they won't be feasting on 2nd chance points :toast

[SpurPadre]

Danny just might be ready for Monday!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

too much sloppiness, tbh... Unfortunately, the Spurs will never learn how to play the clock with Mills in the game, he's one of the most impulsive players in the NBA.

[SAGirl]

ohhh shit that blow on Kelly!

[BatManu20]

Boban time.

[SpurPadre]

Tim can still rebound so they won't be feasting on 2nd chance points :toast

The problem is will they miss on their first chances?

Hoping to God, yes.

They will.

Danny with 4 blocks, and Manu with 5 steals. I have to remind myself, though... it is the damn Lakers after all.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Can't see this small ball unit against GSW though. Rebounding is a big issue.
yep, we'll get cucked with smallball and/or turd towers

[SAGirl]

Tim can still rebound so they won't be feasting on 2nd chance points :toast
It's encouraging to see Danny playing well. I have to say it, we are a better team when he's playing like LDN like they say here. lool

[BatManu20]

690765478730432514

[Mister Sinister]

PatNick Van ExMills tbh

Tbh why not just go with "Nick van Mills" or "Patty van Exel?"

[Kawhitstorm]

The problem is will they miss on their first chances?

Curry isn't even top 4 in 3P% & misses more than Kawhi although he's usually is automatic on broken plays & offensive rebound kick-outs

[SAGirl]

Danny with 4 blocks, and Manu with 5 steals. I have to remind myself, though... it is the damn Lakers after all.
Still ... its an NBA team. Glad to see both these guys playing well.

[SAGirl]

Problem with this unit is there is too much freelancing.

[GSH]

That was nice effort by Boban, but I hope some people are seeing why he's not ready to step into Timmy's shoes. He's spent a lot of his night wandering around and out of position. I like Boban, but he's got a lot to learn.

[BatManu20]

Pop's not happy

[Spurtacular]

That little white Brazilian is handling Corpse McCallum.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

UNT says we suck, so this doesn't matter.
It would be a humiliation for us to allow more than 96 points, since that's how much the Lakers average on the season. The league's "top defense" doesn't pull that shit. :lol I'm dead serious, though

[SAGirl]

D'bust schooling kYLE
He did put nice ball pressure but then not the hand up.. disappointing.

[TheGreatYacht]

Did the Spurs guarantee Anderson's 3rd season? Smh

[SAGirl]

I would not call Russel D'bust. He's 19 or 20. He has a nice shot from 3, and good handles. I would give him time. Kind of like him TBH.

[Kawhitstorm]

Paul George Milk Carton status & only a 13 point game w/ Curry feasting off 2nd chance points. Kawhi is going to show the Worriers who the premium wing player in the league is in 2016.:toast

[Pauleta14]

I'm spoiled I know, but I want the 25pts diff!!!!!!!

[Texas_Ranger]

Anderson will never play like Diaw. He looks worse than Bonner.

[KimmyGib]

It's encouraging to see Danny playing well. I have to say it, we are a better team when he's playing like LDN like they say here. lool

Forgive me, I'm new around here, but what does LDN stand for?

[SAGirl]

That was nice effort by Boban, but I hope some people are seeing why he's not ready to step into Timmy's shoes. He's spent a lot of his night wandering around and out of position. I like Boban, but he's got a lot to learn.
So does Anderson TBH. Both need time and experience. Problem we might have is that we are almost out of time. Can't take the legends for granted.

It's pretty pathetic when your whole season is scoring on the Spurs in garbage time.

Jordan Howenstine @AirlessJordan
(https://twitter.com/AirlessJordan)Spurs are now 38-6 ---> the best start in franchise history. San Antonio has never won 38 of first 44 games since joining the NBA in 1976.

:lol dunking when you're down double digits with 10 seconds left

[DeRozan m8]

Anderson continuing Boris tradition of giving up open 3s :bang

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Lower than our average point differential, and we almost gave up their season average. A pretty disgraceful win, tbh. Spurs showed a lack of heart that the Warriors will look to exploit on Monday night. Overall, a sour taste left in the mouth going into the weekend. :td

[Texas_Ranger]

[steeledl]

If Anderson doesn't have the confidence to shoot the wide open 3 in a blow out regular season game vs the lakers then he has no place in the playoffs.

[itzsoweezee]

Simmons can definitely score, but his defense is disappointing. Russell tonight and a couple guys on Phoenix were scoring against him pretty easily. Wasn't he supposed to be some sort of defensive specialist?

[SpursFan86]

Pretty mediocre showing...oh well, on to GS

[ace3g]

Jordan Howenstine @AirlessJordan
(https://twitter.com/AirlessJordan)Spurs now have 10 streaks of 13 games or more in franchise history - tied for the most in NBA history (Celtics).

[SAGirl]

Spurs fans might not be ready to deal when our vets retire TBH. We have not witnessed young players struggle to get better the way they do elsewhere.

Kawhi has immense talent, and even he was allowed to develop for 4 years b4 the franchise was turned over to him, and he still has a lot of help.

UNT might bomb somewhere when our vets retire and we have to really develop guys.

[still.focused]

Kyle Anderson is absolute garbage

[TheGreatYacht]

Yep, he's an asset since there is someone willing to trade a 1st rd pick for him.*cough* Bucks *cough* *cough* Kings *cough*

Even the Nets would give up a vet for a guy like Kyle (Thad Young would be nice NEXT season)
:lol doubt we get a second round pick for that scrub. I swear if :pop: plays him against GS.... Rest in Piss

[UNT Eagles 2016]

It's pretty pathetic when your whole season is scoring on the Spurs in garbage time.
All in all the Spurs looked pretty pathetic tonight tbh. Couldn't guard the rim to save our lives, never really had a consistent stretch of good defense. Against the 2nd worst team and 2nd worst scoring offense, no less. Very worrisome for us indeed. Tonight showed that we're a second seed and the Dubs are a clear #1.

Simmons can definitely score, but his defense is disappointing. Russell tonight and a couple guys on Phoenix were scoring against him pretty easily. Wasn't he supposed to be some sort of defensive specialist?

He's supposed to be athletic which is good enough to make you an above average defender in the D-League & All-Defensive team member if you play hard against mediocre talent.

Was as at the bar with my gf so didn't catch much until the 4th but I liked his defense... I don't expect him to be kawhi but he competes and Denies the ball.

[thiste]

Our 3rd unit has played well last night, not so much tonight. Meh, who cares.

I would not call Russel D'bust. He's 19 or 20. He has a nice shot from 3, and good handles. I would give him time. Kind of like him TBH.

Agreed. People think of him as D'Bust only because of the expectations that come with being drafted so high and in his particular case, ahead of Porzingis. I will swap the Lakers Anderson for him in a heartbeat.

(https://twitter.com/AirlessJordan)The Spurs have outrebounded their opponent in the last 15 straight games - tied for the fifth-longest streak in the last 30 years.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Counting moral losses as losses... Spurs now fall to 31–13. So, one game behind the Thunder and 2 behind the Cavs. Still in the race, but not good.

[BillMc]

Victory! :flag:

[UNT Eagles 2016]

:lol doubt we get a second round pick for that scrub. I swear if :pop: plays him against GS.... Rest in Piss
At least he has a lady admirer on here. More than most of the rest of the roster.

[Mister Sinister]

13 in a rooooow.

[SAGirl]

If Anderson doesn't have the confidence to shoot the wide open 3 in a blow out regular season game vs the lakers then he has no place in the playoffs.
He's still developing. He's taken some 3s that were bad shots to finish quarters and stuff like that. I don't expect him to make those. But yea, he needs to keep getting pushed to be aggressive.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

cmon Paul George, show your quality

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Pacers defense is awful! Ugh

[ace3g]

Jon Barry just said the Spurs don't have a small ball line up that can match Warriors, lol

[Ron Swanson]

Kobe with 5 points and a +/- of -15

I don't think Jon Barry actually watches basketball.

[GSH]

Yep, he's an asset since there is someone willing to trade a 1st rd pick for him.*cough* Bucks *cough* *cough* Kings *cough*

Even the Nets would give up a vet for a guy like Kyle (Thad Young would be nice NEXT season)

Counting moral losses as losses... Spurs now fall to 31–13. So, one game behind the Thunder and 2 behind the Cavs. Still in the race, but not good.

Some of the comments here just crack me up. First round pick for Anderson, and the new Hollinger Moral Loss stat.

And its really a shame that they are not even developing Russ well at all.. since the season is about Kobe. They don't have a real idea what they want to do offensively with him, and who knows what they are teaching defensively. I would take a look at him next year if they have a new coach and then really see.

Clarkson was alright making contested shots and all as well. It is tough to say between the 2 as they are different, but Russ is so young, its too soon to say.

Randle though looks terrible. Yea, he's got the quickness and athleticism, but no skill. Don't like him.

Wanted a 30 point embarrassment, but Pop always seems to take it easy on the Lakers. Not to mention, the Lakers always play like it's a game 7 in garbage time.

Manu only +3 with the game he had!

What a shitty stat tbh...

He he has been playing better but in the playoffs you aren't gonna get a lot of good looks and you have to take them and take them with confidence when you do. That play was pretty disappointing for me because he has showed a bit of promise lately.

Randle is a small bull in a large china shop.

Nik Stauskas got traded for a 1st rd pick:lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Tbh why not just go with "Nick van Mills" or "Patty van Exel?"
Unfortunately, Mills is not a Jacque Vaughn, Speedy Claxton or TJ Ford. The player from the past he reminds me most of is NVE, sadly. Couldn't stop screaming at the TV every time he dribbled into a godawful trey when we'd have numbers. He shot horribly for us that one season and ended up getting benched for Barry and Udrih.

[SAGirl]

Shades of the old Danny! Could it be? At last?
We need him. We are not winning against GSW if Danny is not playing like this. I am ok with Anderson having a shitty game, bc Danny and Manu lightened up my mood. Young guys will struggle at times.

[raybies]

Heard that. Does he even watch us smh

Pacers playing D like the Spurs 3rd stringers:lol

81 points in a game is less impressive when you find out Bonner played heavy minutes as the opposition.
