Game Thread: Spurs @ Cavs -- Sat. (1/30) - 7:30PM CST (3:30AM Riga Time)

[hitmanyr2k]

Aldridge can't do shit against Thompson. Try some aggressive moves. Footwork and head shoulder fakes you dummy.

[ElNono]

come on gotta score

[SAGirl]

Kawhi letting the pressure get to him.

[spurs10]

God dammit!

[Silver&Black]

Dumb turnover...

[Kawhitstorm]

Kawhi had a brain breeze mid-air:lol

[Mnky]

Parker with horrible vision. Damn get that pass in to west when he sealed his player

[ElNono]

shit danny

[steeledl]

Get Simms in

[Ron Swanson]

What in the fuck was that?

[SpurPadre]

WTF Danny.

[Silver&Black]

ESPN not top 10

[sasaint]

Aldridge can't do shit against Thompson. Try some aggressive moves. Footwork and head shoulder fakes you dummy.

I hate LMA isos!

[NameLess Scrub]

Gotta love when lebron travels and there's no call

[DeRozan m8]

Kawhi has looked off for a couple of weeks tbh

[ElNono]

welp, that's that

[LakerHater]

Travel!!

[SpursFan86]

This offense is absolutely pathetic...

[ElNono]

Tony can't guard Irving, but we knew that

[weebo]

Lamarsha :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Someone needs to teach these faggots how to take a charge on a fast break

[sasaint]

We had the lead down to 9, and then had three LMA misses in a row.

[SpurPadre]

Tried to make a push. Cavs are playing really well.

[spurs10]

Miss miss miss ....

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!!!

[SpursforSix]

No one willing to take a charge

[DeRozan m8]

This LMA/TT post up is hopeless

[james evans]

i have a dumb question. How many steps are allowed in the nba?

[ElNono]

everything is a foul for them... they're going to be in the bonus in 2 mins

[SAGirl]

This is crap, if we can't get stops and get an open 3 we can't make a run here.

[Silver&Black]

Cavrefs :lol

[Mnky]

Good take Parker. 1v1 go score.. double pass it out. Simple easy ball.

[TheGreatYacht]

Manu blew his load against the Lolkers... 5 follow up shit games were expected tbh

[Ron Swanson]

i have a dumb question. How many steps are allowed in the nba?

It depends on who is taking the steps.

[Budkin]

Cavrefs :lol

[spurs10]

If they miss at least they get a second chance!!

[Beaverfuzz]

God damn it :bobo FINISH THAT.

[ElNono]

smh boris

[Silver&Black]

C'mon Bobo....fuck my life.

[spurs10]

Damn!

[spursistan]

Diaw hs looked shitty of late..

[GSH]

Cavs just jamming every miss back down their throats.

[808]

Let's bump the kawhi for bron thread

[james evans]

It depends on who is taking the steps.
lebron and irving are taking 3 steps on every drive. I know cot damn well I haven't heard them change it from 2 to 3

[SuperCam]

is pop even a top 3 coach in the league anymore? he's been terrible since getting outcoached by tom rivers of all people besides feasting on the worst schedule ever :lol

[steeledl]

Ugh, Why would pop go back to Ginobili.... frustrating.

[Silver&Black]

Too easy for Lebron right now...

[james evans]

and James just walked again on that post up hahaa

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Cleveland can get any shot they want at anytime, Spurs struggling to hit a layup

[hater]

:lmao Evita is a fucking cone out there :lol

[ElNono]

:pop: :yield

[Reck]

Kawhi looking shook.

What is it with this guy and pressure situation where he breaks down? Guy needs a new set of balls.

This team definitely need Duncan, if anything for his presence and leadership.

[Nathan89]

Awful defense by Ginobili.

[Vokun]

Cavs offense is not good. A true elite defensive team like the Warriors have already exploited that.

[ElNono]

Manu can't guard him... the defense just hasn't been there today

[TheGreatYacht]

Diaw hs looked shitty of late..
That espresso meme shit just motivated his ass to being more out of shape.

Diaw 0.5

[hater]

Sad that Lamar is shooting fade aways vs Thompson. Fucking pathetic shit

[Uriel]

:lmao Spurs :lmao

[weebo]

Manu and Diaw need to sit...Simmons and Anderson in

[hitmanyr2k]

and James just walked again on that post up hahaa

He definitely shuffled his feet. Those fundamentals lol.

[jbspurs]

LeBron just travelled on the last play..

[SpurPadre]

Our chances this year really depend on 40 year old knees?! Really?!

[dabom]

Lebron slide that foot a foot and no travel. :lmao

[ElNono]

Manu and Diaw need to sit...Simmons and Anderson in

KA and Boban were shit though... but Pop about to go with the end of the bench guys anyways

[GSH]

Lead down to 9. LMA misses two shots on the same trip down the floor, and Danny misses the open 3-pointer. Lead should have been 4 and the crowd would be out of it. This one's just about over. Nobody looks like they want to step up.

[dabom]

LeBron just travelled on the last play..

Yeah he did. Too bad casuals can't watch basketball.

[steeledl]

Manu with a typical stupid fucking shot. You suck at shooting you dumb fuck

[TXstbobcat]

LMA and 1!!!!!

[TheDoctor]

This game :drunk

[SuperCam]

LMAlpha getting things done :tu

[theMatrix]

LMA needs to learn how to learn left and right on postups instead of just moving backwards..
When someone is pushing you straight, once you move left or right the defender will stay rooted to the ground because he is putting all his strength pushing you. Thats when you get the space to spin..

[sasaint]

Ugh, Why would pop go back to Ginobili.... frustrating.

Manu always "feels it" whether or not he's "got it." And Pop,always thinks he might get it. We need some Simmons right now, tbh.

[hitmanyr2k]

LMA can't post up Tristan Thompson but a true post player like Diaw shows him how to fuckin do it.

[SpursforSix]

Poor ball movement tonight

[Mnky]

I wonder if Pop is going to get serious before the rodeo trip or if he is set on 2nd in the west and trying to put coach Kerr.. :lol

[timtonymanu]

Another whistle smh

[TheDoctor]

That's how you back down TT LMA.

[SAGirl]

Ugh, Why would pop go back to Ginobili.... frustrating.
I will have to be with you on this one steele.
We are trying to make a run and need defense.. I would have put Simmons there on Kyrie for a couple of minutes, and tell him to run the heck up the court looking for transition baskets.

[ducks]

Get it down to single digits by 4
Pressure is on cavs for w

[Perry Mason]

Spurs showing in the 3rd they can hang. But they conceded the first 2 quarters with weak play and did not show fire or composure. Disappointing from both LMA and Leonard. Those guys need to show they can be as good as the big 3. That's the real talk. For all of the "system", TP and Manu (of course Timmy) are incredibly talented players and could light just about anyone up in their prime.

[sasaint]

LMA needs to learn how to learn left and right on postups instead of just moving backwards..
When someone is pushing you straight, once you move left or right the defender will stay rooted to the ground because he is putting all his strength pushing you. Thats when you get the space to spin..

Old trick that an old dog should already know.

[LakerHater]

Man Thompson gets in the paint locks ur arm, jumps & gets the ball!

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!

[SAGirl]

Kawhi taking it to the man!

[steeledl]

God shit Kawhi!

[ElNono]

cant rebound for shit

[Ron Swanson]

Manu missing bunnies

[Budkin]

Lebron slide that foot a foot and no travel. :lmao

Refs don't even pay attention to that shit anymore.

[timtonymanu]

Non factor Manu tonight

[LakerHater]

Damn manu

[ElNono]

smh Manu missing that chip shot

[hater]

:lmao Evita :lol

Holy shit :lol

[Silver&Black]

Love shitting all over us...

[GSH]

Manu missing lots of chipshots lately.

[$pursDynasty]

Evita f'n up tonight

[timtonymanu]

Ugh that awful Manu miss was momentum killing. Then again, it's a typical Spurs game where they play catch up all night and never break through.

[SAGirl]

It is not meant to be. There should have been more of that ..
PnR between Tony/LMA and not so many post ups.

I don't know really think we are fools gold

[From Downtown]

Manu couldn't throw it into the fucking ocean tonight

[steeledl]

I will have to be with you on this one steele.
We are trying to make a run and need defense.. I would have put Simmons there on Kyrie for a couple of minutes, and tell him to run the heck up the court looking for transition baskets.

Pop can get too stuck in his ways sometimes and too loyal to old dogs.

[TheGreatYacht]

Manu can suck a dick. Lebron has to have this nigga on his payroll :lmao

[beirmeistr]

cavs are playing better under Lue

[Vokun]

Love is such a bitch. I hate that motherfucker. Always acts tough when his shot is actually falling, but bitches out when it's not. Faggot ass player

[ducks]

Bench Manu now

[james evans]

why are we giving up open 3s when they have no low post threat?

[sasaint]

Stood flat footed watching LeBron cut to the basket... Smh

[ducks]

Bench Manu that is why I did not want him back

[SpursforSix]

Spurs need someone like Laimbeer or Mahorn

[Beaverfuzz]

Defensive effort is atrocious. This isn't all just because Duncan's out.

[weebo]

If the Spurs are going to have a chance in this game, Aldridge is going to have to carry them. He's the only one that has any kind of mismatch on O.

[timtonymanu]

Always one guy left open in Cleveland

[ElNono]

just noticed the new "3pt feature" thingie... that's kinda lame... thought it would lit up the court

[SuperCam]

Scrubadeldova going in :lol

[Ron Swanson]

Pop, please put Simmons in for Manu.

[james evans]

i hate that zone. playing zone with a 3 pont shooting team is basically saying, "we're the scrimmage team.."

[Beaverfuzz]

This definitely looks like a mason's convention.

[dabom]

Diaw needs that rebound.

[Budkin]

All that effort and we're right back to the halftime deficit. :lmao

[steeledl]

Send a message to Manu. make him play the rest of the game in garbage time.

[LakerHater]

Clearly a foul!

[hater]

Evita loves him some Lebron tbqh

[TheGreatYacht]

Always one guy left open in Cleveland
:pop: Do you a problem with my Zone? Get cut like Stephen Jackson for calling me out

[Vokun]

Fuck you LeBron. If that's not a foul, then everything called for you isn't a foul either.

[skulls138]

Hey Lebron, this game is televised

[SAGirl]

Seriously our best moments where with the bench. Simmons/Boban/Kyle. Boban screwed up big, but this zone might be worse. They have gotten many open 3s.

[808]

How many second/third chance points for the cavs tonight?

[DeRozan m8]

I blame the black alts.

Tonight
GSW
OKC

[james evans]

Love shitting all over us...
he's open. Even at my age, I'm missing wide open shots all night

[weebo]

Simmons in for Manu!

[Uriel]

I don't feel like the Spurs are playing particularly poorly in this game, the way they did in the Warriors game.

The Cavs are just playing easily their best game of the season.

[hitmanyr2k]

Kawhi flopped lol. That contact came after the shot but Kawhi made it look like someone shot him in mid-air :lol

[hater]

:lmao Evita

:lol holy shit :lol again :lol

[Ron Swanson]

Thompson shitting all over Manu

[SuperCam]

damn manu got ethered :lol

[Silver&Black]

:lmao Manure

Been getting punked all night long.

[LakerHater]

Stupid stupid manu

[steeledl]

Simmons is better than Ginobili tbh

[ElNono]

Manu with nowhere to go smh

[$pursDynasty]

Why is Manu out there?

[Horry Hipcheck]

Just tuned in. Oof.

[AZK619]

Manu:lol

[Vokun]

Doesn't matter anyway, both of these fraud teams are just playing fiddle to the Warriors. Warriors about to 2-peat.

[skulls138]

Way to draw that foul Leonard

[Silver&Black]

My condolences to mi negro ElNono...

[weebo]

I don't feel like the Spurs are playing particularly poorly in this game, the way they did in the Warriors game.

The Cavs are just playing easily their best game of the season.

Transition D is shit :lol...its a one man fast break with Lebron and Irving taking turns

[TheGreatYacht]

Cowboys defense could've stopped Manu tonight

[hater]

:lmao Evita needs to retire himself tonight. If he doesn't we have no shot at WCF IMO

[From Downtown]

Hopefully Manu puts this loss (cause this is a loss) on himself and comes out pissed in the next game

[SpurPadre]

All that hard work and the same deficit with the quarter almost over.

[itzsoweezee]

I'd much rather see Simmons in the game Manu. Anderson outplayed him too

[LongtimeSpursFan]

LeBron>>>>>>>>Leonard. SMH for those who even think it's close.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Cavs are gonna hit 120 just like GSW :lol

[ElNono]

My condolences to mi negro ElNono...

there will be games like this, tbh... more worried that the Spurs can't win without a good Gino...

[Budkin]

Doesn't matter anyway, both of these fraud teams are just playing fiddle to the Warriors. Warriors about to 2-peat.

[sasaint]

Manu trying to shoot over LeBron! :lmao

Kawhi finally getting calls when the Cavs have the game in the bag. :lmao

[hater]

:lol Evita

[SAGirl]

Get Patty the fuck out Pop, Get Simmons in there,.

[TXstbobcat]

Jesus Manu!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

It's almost like 2013 Manu at there. Ugh.

[Silver&Black]

:lmao Manure again

Get him out Pop.

[Kawhitstorm]

Evita:lmao

[ElNono]

damn, that kind of night for Gino... RIP

[SuperCam]

manu has absolutely nothing left in the tank smh

[808]

Manu may as well sit for as long as Duncan is out

[$pursDynasty]

:lol Evita

[Horry Hipcheck]

Saw that LeBron block on Manu from a mile away.

[hater]

Holy shit Evita thought he was back in Buenos Aires :lol

[Beaverfuzz]

:lol

Manu you go up with the left hand on the LEFT side of the hoop, not the right.

[Darius Bieber]

RIP Spurs. This team is done.

[From Downtown]

He just hasn't got it

[ducks]

Simons would have dunked that

[DeRozan m8]

Ginos back

[TheGreatYacht]

there will be games like this, tbh... more worried that the Spurs can't win without a good Gino...
Of course we can't with him dribbling dribbling dribbling blocked

[TXstbobcat]

Fucking Cavs going Ike Turner on the Spurs tonight.

[SpurPadre]

Everyone in the building knew Manu was going to get blocked there. Pissed away a rare moment of awesome defense from Mills.

[beirmeistr]

time for the 3rd unit

[Splits]

:lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure :lmao Manure












































































:lmao Manure

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Wasn't that a goaltend? LeBron trapped it on backboard.

[dabom]

Manu a turd.

[Robz4000]

Get Manu the fuck out. Can't believe how much he's declined over the past month and a half; very similar to last season.

[LakerHater]

Put Sims back in for manu

[SPURt]

The Spurs better channel their inner 76er in the 4th

[hitmanyr2k]

Hopefully Manu puts this loss (cause this is a loss) on himself and comes out pissed in the next game

Bullshit lol. This loss is squarely on San Antonio's shitty defense. You're going to blame Ginobili for Kevin Love getting wide open shots all night?

[Kawhitstorm]

:lmao Manure again

Get him out Pop.

Simmons would have dunked it; Turnobili playing like it's the 2013 Finals against LeBron on ABC:lol

[ElNono]

Of course we can't with him dribbling dribbling dribbling blocked

if he looks like this in May, we have no shot at a championship... it always been like this... let's hope it's just a few games...

[Uriel]

The Spurs are so mentally weak. They get so rattled by playing big games on the road in a hostile environment.

[SpursforSix]

Too much one on one.

[sasaint]

Saw that LeBron block on Manu from a mile away.

HE SHOULD HAVE!!!

[GSH]

Saw that LeBron block on Manu from a mile away.


It was like watching a train wreck coming, and there's nothing you can do. There was never a doubt.

[hater]

This rape is worse than Golden State one imo :lol

Holy shit :lol

[SAGirl]

I'd much rather see Simmons in the game Manu. Anderson outplayed him too
If anything I think this is a wakeup call.

The team needs those two to get minutes and experience TBH. When they sat down and Manu Patty came in the game got out of hand. It has been getting worse.

[Chinook]

Pop pulled Green early to put in Manu who had been in full Ginobyl form all game. Just a minus coaching move.

[timtonymanu]

It's February. Good time for this team to melt down and for everyone to call us pretenders. Hopefully things change after March though.

[UZER]

Can't believe a 40 being out is still relied on this much that it completely falls apart on D when he's out.

[BillMc]

Well, if you'd told me before the season we'd be undefeated in January except for road losses at Golden State and Cleveland, I'd have taken it.

[hater]

Simmons would have dunked it; Turnobili playing like it's the 2013 Finals against LeBron on ABC:lol

:lol ABC :lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

LeBron owning Sperms per par, nothing to see here :lol

[Silver&Black]

Simmons would have dunked it

Well.....

Simmons is a lot younger.....and blacker tbh.

[steeledl]

I don't know about all the other Manu is done threads but this nigga needs one NOW. He started with a couple of good weeks early in the season but since he is good like 1 in 8 games. He is DONE.


Simmons is better than him already... Anderson has been better than him. We'd be better off if this nigga got injured cause Pop will never put him at the end of the bench

[Kawhitstorm]

The Spurs are so mentally weak. They get so rattled by playing big games on the road in a hostile environment.

That's what happens when you don't have your captain.:wakeup

[Pauleta14]

That kind of night are inevitable for our Vets, let's not overreact...

What worries me the the (lack of) leadership of Kawhi and LA

[CGD]

Love ABC focusing on that James block and omitting the fact that he had the ball stolen in the first place ...

[TXstbobcat]

Manu333333333

[sasaint]

The Spurs are so mentally weak. They get so rattled by playing big games on the road in a hostile environment.

True. Historically we have been so mentally tough that this is really difficult to swallow.

[ElNono]

Manu!!!!






































:lol

[SAGirl]

Kyle in and Manu gets an open 3 gosh darn it

[Silver&Black]

Ginobili 4 3333333333333333333333333

Get it going Manu.

[Proxy]

:lol

Manu you go up with the left hand on the LEFT side of the hoop, not the right.

lol, he's a professional basketball player. Please keep the rec league coaching critiques to yourself, dad

[skulls138]

KA - Ginobili

[NameLess Scrub]

Lebron's night... can't guard him. won't call it when he travels.

[siraulo23]

This post up inside out system is not gonna be efficient enough to win in the playoffs tbh. The 'others' just don get involved or get quality looks

[Beaverfuzz]

Way too many points given up tonight. 74 on offense is about the average (100 per game).

[timtonymanu]

The Spurs are so mentally weak. They get so rattled by playing big games on the road in a hostile environment.

So it's pretty much any other Spurs team at this team of the season

[GSH]

Pop pulled Green early to put in Manu who had been in full Ginobyl form all game. Just a minus coaching move.


That's what happened? I was at a fundraiser, and only saw that he played just 9 minutes. In a game where they couldn't get stops, and Danny wasn't on the floor? I figured it was something he did.

[SAGirl]

Get Patty out he's always guarding :Lebron,. Get Simms
!

[TheGreatYacht]

Incredible how Simmons can't jump over fat head in the rotation.

Poop got out coached by Ty Lue

[J_Paco]

Doesn't matter anyway, both of these fraud teams are just playing fiddle to the Warriors. Warriors about to 2-peat.

Have some fucking confidence in "your" team. Two losses in January doesn't change the fact that we have a puncher's chance of winning #6.

[Russ]

If anything I think this is a wakeup call.

You only get so many of those until they buries ya.

[SAGirl]

Rally Pop... get Patty out!!!!!!!!!!

[ElNono]

Patty on Lebron? that's a good idea how?

[Ron Swanson]

Lebron falls, foul on Mills.

[DeRozan m8]

Time to think about 1 or 2 trades tbh

[Beaverfuzz]

lol, he's a professional basketball player. Please keep the rec league coaching critiques to yourself, dad


Wrong rook. Go up with the right hand and there's practically ZERO chance of it getting blocked.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Mills on King James is pure comedy :lol


eat shit, Sperms... y'all deserve to lose, especially Poop

[Spurs_619]

Kawhi only one to show up against a contender per par.

[LakerHater]

Wow, these refs

[Kawhitstorm]

Pop trying to psych Bron by putting a midget on him as if it's the 2011 Finals:lol

[Darius Bieber]

Pathetic team.

[weebo]

Pop letting Patty get abused by Lebron out there smh

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Andershit is a flaming faggot :lol

[ElNono]

need that 16-0 play, Pop... the time is now

[From Downtown]

Fuck Kyle

[SpurPadre]

Patty showed great effort on D.

[SAGirl]

Well I think Pop had Patty there to make 3s.. .but gosh darn it, he was guarding Lebron every time.

[PublicOption]

Looks like the league is setting is up. Again we are the big foil. Again.

[Reck]

Holy shit UNT is having an epic meltdown.

Fucking mental midget. :lmao

[boutons_deux]

Spurs win 3rd 27 -26

[808]

What has Simmons done to not deserve playing time?

[From Downtown]

need that 16-0 play, Pop... the time is now
Manu's gonna score 16 in a row tbh

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Wow, these refs
Lol at blaming the refs when SA Shits have given up 92 points with a whole quarter to play :rollin:

[timtonymanu]

That's what happened? I was at a fundraiser, and only saw that he played just 9 minutes. In a game where they couldn't get stops, and Danny wasn't on the floor? I figured it was something he did.

Pop also went to Anderson/Simmons a lot in the 2nd quarter. Basically, he went into experimental mode like he did against the Dubs. Aldridge picking up 3 fouls in the 1st quarter probably was a huge factor.

[DarrinS]

Wtf is this? What is Pop trying to accomplish?

[TheRemix]

What the fuck kind of coaching is this? Pop experimenting?

[GSH]

Have some fucking confidence in "your" team. Two losses in January doesn't change the fact that we have a puncher's chance of winning #6.

Do you see anyone in silver and black throwing punches tonight? Not saying the Spurs can't win it all. But not the Spurs team on the floor tonight. This is sad.

Patty on LeBron isn't working, Pop. Maybe you should let him try guarding Kevin Love instead?

[Nathan89]

Under 100!:lol

[PublicOption]

Yep....league fucking us on national TV again. Xmas. Gsw. Today.

[sasaint]

Well.....

Simmons is a lot younger.....and blacker tbh.

No, when Manu was Simmons' age he would have dunked it, too.

[Kawhitstorm]

Kawhi only one to show up against a contender per par.

Simmons/Kawhi, that's about it. West barked but didn't do squat.:lol

[Beaverfuzz]

lol, he's a professional basketball player. Please keep the rec league coaching critiques to yourself, dad


Hey Deandre Jordan, Proxy says nobody can tell you how to shoot FT's...

:bobo

[BillMc]

Again, we lost only 2 road games in January to the teams in the Finals last year. Hardly, meltdown worthy....

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Cleveland sticking its fierce sword up Sperms' sperm holes, SA Shits respond by pooping on the court... per par.
