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

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!!

[100%duncan]

No and-1 for Kawhi SMH

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi is just fucking with them.

[BatManu20]

Kawhi can't buy a call!

[Chris]

Leonard bullying nigs in the paint tbh

[loveforthegame]

Leonard on another level.

[100%duncan]

Kawhi and LMAlpha working together. The future

Pretty much the present already

[sasaint]

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

I would be pleasantly surprised. Make that "shocked."

[100%duncan]

Kawhi with a shit 3pt shooting night doe

[spursistan]

Butler is going to eat into Diaw minutes if the latter keeps playing like shit..

[steeledl]

Danny is bad .....

[Chris]

Danny Green forgets how to play basketball when he gets 10 feet from the rim

[loveforthegame]

Green's drives though. Sheesh.

[Silver&Black]

:lol Green dribbling the basketball.......

Nothing good follows that sentence.

[TheGreatYacht]

Kawhi needs 3 to get to 30, Green. Quit dribbling for the rest of your career

[sasaint]

Kawhi can't buy a call!

I was gonna say, "No blood, no foul..."

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Hold them under 90 :ihit

[freemeat]

[spursistan]

Danny + dribbe..don't mixPERIOD

[100%duncan]

Aight kawhi is out. Im done

[Chris]

Drummond free throws always entertaining

[loveforthegame]

Miller moving around screens pretty good.

one night, only

[TXstbobcat]

Simmons!!!!

[Silver&Black]

Did someone say Matt Bonner?

[Chris]

Miller assist to Simmons; hopefully lots more of that

[DPG21920]

Pretty damn impressive. Wasn't DET on a decent W streak? Held them to 81? Damn. Probably my favorite LMA game too.

[Chris]

FH :lol

[TXstbobcat]

:flag:

[Ron Swanson]

Nice win.

[Chris]

Spurs making it look easy tbh

[BatManu20]

Can't believe 51-9 isn't the best record in the league tbh.

Only 3 AST for LMA? Criminal - should have had a few more for sure.

Spurs held Detroit to only 30 points in the second half. Impressive.

Pretty good defense though. A huge reason why KCP and Reggie struggled.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

All 13 Pistons combined only to match Kobe's career high... :lol

[ace3g]

^ true, just seems like that has happened a few times this season where Green scored 0 but the rest of the starters scored in double figures.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Bruce Green, tbh. Can't dribble, make plays, only use on offense is making open threes. Except he can shoot from the wings unlike Brucie.

[DPG21920]

All 13 Pistons combined only to match Kobe's career high... :lol

Definitely an interesting way to think about it :lol

No more "San Antonio Suns" :toast....

[DPG21920]

Not just Green. There's been a lot of funky box scores with the staters. Seems like more than ever, the bulk of scoring is done by 3 starters and the other 2 are off the map completely whether that is Green or Duncan or TP

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Definitely an interesting way to think about it :lol

The confounding difference is, Spurs defense vs 2006 Raptors defense.

good shit. i hate Detroit, always have for some reason

This may very well be the first season in NBA history with two 70-game winners.

Spurs are on pace to finish 70-12. Dubs are on pace to finish 76-6. Crazy.

Thing is, both teams may have their seeds locked up by the final week or so, and play their backups in the last several games.

Raw pace doesn't matter. We're ~75% of the way through the season, and have 3 meetings between the two teams. Adjusting for that, the Spurs are only on pace to win 68.2 games, while the Dubs are on pace to win 73.5.

Like I said, even that may not matter. Those head-to-head matchups at the end of the season may not matter that much, with the Dubs and Spurs locked into the 1 and 2 seeds.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Like I said, even that may not matter. Those head-to-head matchups at the end of the season may not matter that much, with the Dubs and Spurs locked into the 1 and 2 seeds.
In terms of records though. It will seriously hinder the possibility of both teams (especially the Spurs) getting to 70.

I think 66-67 is a fair prediction for us. 15-7 over our last 22, considering our schedule. We have to lose a couple home games, and we still have road games against both the Thunder and Warriors

It's tough to buy two tickets next to each other on the floor. You have to pay $100 a seat to get on a waiting list to buy season tickets. In other words they have sold out. Empty seats courtside are the people hanging out in the new VIP lounge. Probably corporate seats and not hard core fans. They are there to party.
