Game Thread: Spurs vs Pistons -- Wed. (3/2) - 7:00PM CST (3:00AM Riga Time)

[TDfan2007]

Motion isn't working, but the post ups were working just fine. Gotta go back to that.

[TampaDude]

104-103 Pistons

Spurs suffer their first home loss of the season tonight.

[resistanze]

How about a simple post up, Poop

With who? They'll throw a hard double team at LMA and he'll throw it into the stands.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!

[BanditHiro]

Pistons are killing the Spurs at the 3 pt line

[BillMc]

Miller not in yet...mostly poor defense. Offense okay - mostly nothing spectacular either way except that Drummond went out with 2 fouls with more than 8 minutes left in the quarter and we didn't find a way to capitalize on it.


Kawhi good. Defense bad.

Cheers guys. Looks like the defense is absent...

[TDfan2007]

Nice move inside by Timmy

[td4mvp2k]

[sasaint]

LMA...how is that NOT an and-1?!

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!

[Silver&Black]

Kawhi = Too Good

[steeledl]

My nigga

[Ron Swanson]

:clawagain

[td4mvp2k]

Leonard nice

[AZK619]

:claw

[TXstbobcat]

Great half for Leonard

[TDfan2007]

Kawhi is just so damn good. That offensive footwork

[timtonymanu]

Not worried. Pistons playing the game of their life (Tobias Harris especially) and Spurs looked mediocre, yet have the lead.

[wingster]

Oh look..we're winning.

[r0drig0lac]

Kawhi is a beast

[BanditHiro]

Kawhi needs to get more respect from the refs. No reason he shouldn't already have 5+ FTA

[TampaDude]

Nice little run there at the end of the half.

As poorly as we are shooting, we have to be happy with a 1-point lead at the half.

[spursistan]

Need to play much better D..

[Mugen]

Give it to Kawhi and get out of the way tbh.

[Silver&Black]

Spurs lead 52-51 at the half...

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

[raybies]

Who does kawhi think he is? Taking rebounds from the goat.

[cutewizard]

Go Spurs go

[Robz4000]

Not worried. Pistons playing the game of their life (Tobias Harris especially) and Spurs looked mediocre, yet have the lead.

Pistons have been playing good ball the past few months. They're gonna be a dark horse in the East with Cleveland looking vulnerable and Toronto being Toronto.

[cutewizard]

omg Kawboh

[EVAY]

Kawhi needs to get more respect from the refs. No reason he shouldn't already have 5+ FTA

that last shot particularly

[cutewizard]

hmmmmm

[spursistan]

Kawhi going to supernova mode against the Dubs is our only chance to beat them..Don't see any other greater upside in this team...I am not banking on Alridge growing up a couple cojones in two months..

[Silver&Black]

Chauncey just called this a trap game.....he must follow ST.

Star wars is gay

[DAF86]

Every trip on offense should be a post up for Kawhi or LMA. Start practicing gor the Warriors.

[steeledl]

If Timmy and Manu retire are they off our books ?

[BatManu20]

Was about to say this. Wonder what his handle is tbh.

[steeledl]

...... That won't beat the warriors . That era of basketball is dead..

[loveforthegame]

That Leonard guy is pretty good.

But others must step up to win this game.

[TampaDude]

Star wars is gay

So are your parents.

[DAF86]

...... That won't beat the warriors . That era of basketball is dead..

Last season, the Cavs and Grizzlies took two games off them, each, doing that with a lot less talent than what the Spurs have.

[Silver&Black]

Was about to say this. Wonder what his handle is tbh.
JamStone

[TampaDude]

Those Prius commercials are so lame.

[cutewizard]

DE-FENSE

[SpursFan86]

Not worried. Pistons playing the game of their life (Tobias Harris especially) and Spurs looked mediocre, yet have the lead.

13 points on 6/11 shooting is the game of his life? :lol

[Robz4000]

JamStone

:lol was about to post the same thing

[littlecoyotecoin]

...... That won't beat the warriors . That era of basketball is dead..

In Steele's 16 years of life, he's observed that an era is dead.

[timtonymanu]

13 points on 6/11 shooting is the game of his life? :lol

:lol it looked like he wasn't missing. I didn't bother to look up the box score

[Silver&Black]

:lma

[steeledl]

Alpha

[r0drig0lac]

Parker!!

[steeledl]

Jon Barry so bitter on Parker......

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!!

[Silver&Black]

TP's jumper looking wet...

Mon Negro.

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!!

[steeledl]

Timmy !!

[Ron Swanson]

Timmy just throwing up shit and it goes in.

[TheGreatYacht]

Great start. Finish this off and get ready for Ryan "The good" Anderson tomorrow

[TDfan2007]

Timmy with the homecourt bounce lol

[TXstbobcat]

Tony!!!!!!!!

[steeledl]

Parker with the quickes with rest.... Bodes well for playoffs when there is more rest

[TXstbobcat]

:lma

[Silver&Black]

10 point lead....

My niggas.

[Ron Swanson]

:lma

[TXstbobcat]

LMA!!!!!!

[steeledl]

Alpha !

[Silver&Black]

LMAlpha

[TXstbobcat]

Timmy!!!!!!

[Silver&Black]

I smell blood...

Sweep the leg.

[DPG21920]

LMA going full on beast mode.

[steeledl]

Lol Danny

[TDfan2007]

Timmy has been fantastic on D. Contesting everything

[DPG21920]

Tremendous looks SA is getting going through LMA. Great passing on display. Making shots would be nice there.

[maverick1948]

NOTE !!!!! We are up on Detroit. Utah and Houston are behind. If they both lose and we win. PLAYOFFS clinched!!!

[DPG21920]

I'm in love with Lamarcus right now. What a defensive play! He's throwing bullets on time too. Keep going to him!

[TDfan2007]

This is Spurs defense. Good to see our guys focused again

[Silver&Black]

Timmy has been fantastic on D. Contesting everything

Agreed...

[TheGreatYacht]

Great game from the starters... Even Green who's locking down KCP

[Robz4000]

Green back to his early season form tonight.

[EVAY]

Timmy has been fantastic on D. Contesting everything

For a guy that can't jump or move laterally very well - he makes ALL the difference in how effective the team defense is every game...bball iq I guess

[TheGreatYacht]

Lamarcus getting in playoff shape, he looks more energized because of it as well :lma

[Mugen]

When's the last time Danny hit a shot tbh

[DPG21920]

LMA going full on small ball buster...that is so key to GS. That is what everyone is betting on seemingly. Guard LMA with a small guy = get punished. Guys have to make the wide open ones though.

[spursistan]

loving how Tim looked the past 3 games..I was worried it could be terminal decline..let's hope he keep it up..

[100%duncan]

Just woke up. What I miss?

[TXstbobcat]

LMA and 1!!!!!!

[Ron Swanson]

:lma wow

[steeledl]

Alpha being an alpha

[loveforthegame]

LMA :tu

[r0drig0lac]

circus shot

[DPG21920]

loving how Tim looked the past 3 games..I was worried it could be terminal decline..let's hope he keep it up..

yes - more and more it looks like the health of the knee and not aging which is incredible. Let's hope his knee stays good.

[TXstbobcat]

Just woke up. What I miss?

Close game in the 1st half. Spurs killing them in the 3rd quarter

[BillMc]

LMA has lost weight since beginning of the season.

[steeledl]

loving how Tim looked the past 3 games..I was worried it could be terminal decline..let's hope he keep it up..

[TheGreatYacht]

Wtf did Pop tell Parker to foul for? Smdh

[NASpurs]

Did this nigga really foul to be subbed out while Detroit is in the bonus?

[100%duncan]

Kiwichael

[TXstbobcat]

:claw

[loveforthegame]

Leonard finally.

[Silver&Black]

Kawhi = Too good

[100%duncan]

Close game in the 1st half. Spurs killing them in the 3rd quarter

thx brah

[EVAY]

Wtf did Pop tell Parker to foul for? Smdh

[TDfan2007]

Lockdown D

[100%duncan]

Kawhi = Too good

He was my nigga first... jsut saying

[Silver&Black]

He was my nigga first... jsut saying

:nope

[TheGreatYacht]

KCP gets his first points on fat head lmao

[100%duncan]

So what's the news on Kevin Martin?

[TXstbobcat]

Mills!!!!!

[Silver&Black]

MVPatty.....:wow

[EVAY]

Well done, Mills!!!!

[TXstbobcat]

:lma

[Ron Swanson]

:lma

[steeledl]

Love lma

[Silver&Black]

Good foul Kawhi...

Worst FT shooter in history going to the line.

[100%duncan]

lol if the media gives curry the MIP. Im fucking done

[NASpurs]

It's Miller Time

[Ron Swanson]

It's Miller time!

[TXstbobcat]

It's Miller time

[steeledl]

Miller.....:lol

[loveforthegame]

The Professor!!

[TDfan2007]

Love the attention to detail on D. Great ovation for Andre

[Silver&Black]

Miller offensive rebound....

He's already my nigga.

[BillMc]

LMA in full "twitter-off" mode. :lma

[FaM0us Skins]

Lol

[tholdren]

Miller already a better rebounder than green. Great signing.

[FaM0us Skins]

Good job by LMA

[100%duncan]

So Andre camps in the corner. My problem is, he was never even a good shooter was he?

[tholdren]

lol if the media gives curry the MIP. Im fucking done
like that's any worse than the trash the nba promotes now anyway.

[steeledl]

We need to play Miller, ginobili, butler, Duncan , and west one game for quite possibly he oldest lineup in NBA history

[TheGreatYacht]

Fat head with the low bball IQ, calling for the pick with 10secs left.... Pistons get an and-1 because of it

[spursistan]

Dumb..dumb foul by Mills..

[100%duncan]

Mygod these commentators...

[resistanze]

:lol Mills

[steeledl]

lol if the media gives curry the MIP. Im fucking done


He has taken a huge step for a player who was already great..... Tbh

[Silver&Black]

Great D that quarter...Spurs lead 79-65 going into the 4th.

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

[TDfan2007]

Is Patty the worst defender on the team?

[Robz4000]

Ugh that last possession

[DMC]

So Andre camps in the corner. My problem is, he was never even a good shooter was he?
He camps to spread the defense.

[TampaDude]

Solid 3rd quarter, guys...that was some Spurs basketball.

[TheGreatYacht]

Is Patty the worst defender on the team?
Easily

[DMC]

Is Patty the worst defender on the team?
Man on man defense, yes. He's pesky and does about as well as he can. He draws a lot of charges so he knows his strengths and weaknesses.

[100%duncan]

He camps to spread the defense.

Just gonna make the other team pack the paint.

[100%duncan]

He has taken a huge step for a player who was already great..... Tbh

Still no. There are lots of other deserving. You dont give the MIP to a player who's gonna win 2 straight mvps.

[Silver&Black]

lol if the media gives curry the MIP. Im fucking done

Saw a pretty shocking stat about that the other day. He's improved by 6.9 PPG over his MVP season last year. That's BY FAR the best improvement by a MVP player the next year (The year after whoever won the MVP).

Bird was 2nd at a 4.0 PPG improvement....

Not saying he should win it.....but that's a helluva improvement if you ask me. Curry is unreal.

[DMC]

Just gonna make the other team pack the paint.
He makes it one fewer.

[NASpurs]

Nice pass from Andre

[BanditHiro]

great pass by Miller

[TXstbobcat]

Mills!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Love Millers activity.

[Silver&Black]

Miller's first assist....

My nigga.

[loveforthegame]

Oops. Bad foul.

[Slime Baller]

Nice cut and pass from Miller. Smart to move in there.

[Silver&Black]

Danny would get chewed the fuck out by Pop. Just saying....

[loveforthegame]

Miller making some nice cuts.

[dabom]

Danny would get chewed the fuck out by Pop. Just saying....

That is what he is paid for....

[Ron Swanson]

Patty, what the hell are you doing?

[Silver&Black]

Fucking Big Banger...

[NASpurs]

:lol Spurms

[loveforthegame]

Ugh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Enough Expresso post ups

[Silver&Black]

Ugh...

[BanditHiro]

good lord fuck off Pistons

[TDfan2007]

So much for a blowout...bench screwing it up

[DAF86]

Get the dead-weight out of the court please.

[Robz4000]

This unit fucking sucks. Game was on its way to being over, now Detroit is right back in it.

[Silver&Black]

Patty, what the hell are you doing?

Did he pass up a layup for a Captain West 18 foot jumper?

[td4mvp2k]

Give me ray ray back!

[EVAY]

Bad stretch here for the second team. Diaw wanting to back his man down twice in a row and losing each time.

And there is no chance of a rebound with this group.

[spursistan]

Enough Expresso post ups

[TampaDude]

So, Patty passes up an easy layup for a long 2?

We gonna lose by 1...in OT...then get ass fucked by the Pelicans.

[resistanze]

Pop's weird lineups crack me up

[NASpurs]

Instead of playing, it's like they're experimenting just because Miller is new to the team. Just play ffs

[100%duncan]

CIA Pop wanting the lead to go down so kawhi can pad his stats

[ElNono]

Get well soon Manu

[Ron Swanson]

Did he pass up a layup for a Captain West 18 foot jumper?

Yes he did.

[TXstbobcat]

Captain West!

Kawhis most complete game since pre allstar tbqh

Jon Barry is the reason we can't have nice things

[TheGreatYacht]

Nothing is more cornier than "Kawhiet Riot"

[TDfan2007]

Kawhi has just been ridiculously good this year

[loveforthegame]

Repeat as DPOY?

He's certainly worthy but I can see them giving it to Green or Jordan instead.

[freemeat]

http://mealsandmovesblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/02/image28.png
Is this what that fucker keeps referring to? Where does this rank in worst nicknames?

[gospursgojas]

KL LA pt update?

[SpurAddict561]

Man if you would've told me he would turn into this absolutely monstrous two-way player back when we traded George Hill for his pick, I would have laughed and called you the biggest idiot ever.

Truly amazing growth, he is such a stud. KAWOW

[sasaint]

Repeat as DPOY?

No way. The way the media is gushing over the Warriors, Draymond is a runaway winner.

F-head looking bad on both sides of the court.

JB's a corny bastard but he doesn't seem to be bitter about the Spurs anymore.

[SpurAddict561]

LA's jumpshot looking good tonight.

[dabom]

No way. The way the media is gushing over the Warriors, Draymond is a runaway winner.

You are a stupid fuck. :lmao

[BatManu20]

Smart play KA

[BanditHiro]

No way. The way the media is gushing over the Warriors, Draymond is a runaway winner.

na Kawhi is a super star and probably been the 2nd best player this year. They will give it to him again to reward the Spurs for having the best defense

[SpursBig3s]

Did y'all just see our schedule that flashed on the screen?! Holy shit that's brutal. Absurd
