Game Thread: Spurs @ Warriors -- Thur. (4/7) - 9:30PM CST (5:30AM Riga Time)

[ElNono]

What do you mean? Danny Green hit some uncharacteristic 3's in the 1st half.

we shot like 33% in the 1st quarter... that's uncharacteristic, no matter how many 3's Danny makes

[pgardn]

a better shooting 1st half, and this is a game, easy

Not with this D.

We can't beat them in a series with the D we saw tonight.

[Kawhitstorm]

Aldridge finger is obviously bothering him. He'll be ok moving forward as long as it's not serious

He was out of rhythm

[RD2191]

Dubs just have too many weapons imo. Klay and Curry have had somewhat mediocre games and we're still losing by a good margin. That's bad news.

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Damn it Parker. I remember when that was automatic.

[Rob123]

hahahahha Aldridge hahahaha

Spurs played like shit and y'all are barely ahead. If anything I'm less worried

[steeledl]

Damn Anderson is so foot slow on D.
Cant be covering dribble drive guys away from the basket.

Yeah, he needs to bulk up and play center. He doesnt have the athletic ability to guard athletic 4's.

[Mugen]

:lol how many seasons has it been now where Pop strategically rests throughout the season only to play guys in meaningless games the last week of the regular season and absolutely torpedo their hopes for a championship.

Absolutely zero reason for Kawhi/LMA and the Big 3 to play tonight but you fat fucks thought the Spurs could actually get the 1st seed....

[ECOV]

hahahahha Aldridge hahahaha

LOL warriors lol hahahahahahahaha

[tmtcsc]

Spurs will need to upgrade their backup in the offseason.

[Splits]

lol Kerr with his starters in

[100%duncan]

Kyle actually played great tonight. Props.

[ElNono]

Not with this D.

We can't beat them in a series with the D we saw tonight.

I agree, but we also needed to score more and we didn't do that...

[KimmyGib]

Kyle Anderson leading the team in rebounds with 8. KMart #2 with 4.

[TheGreatYacht]

Don't bite for the obvious laker fan baits, noobs.

[Spurs9]

Wow Anderson actually looked really good, maybe hes a good matchup against some dubs tbh, whats his +/-?

[spurtech09]

forget this game

[pgardn]

Yeah, he needs to bulk up and play center. He doesnt have the athletic ability to guard athletic 4's.
He was on Thompson when I commented.

Center... Ohhh that's your call.

[ElNono]

those curry 3s are ridiculous, tbh

[Horse]

Scared Kerr staying with the starters

[steeledl]

At least Pop has learned that Anderson cant play in this series.

[Ditty]

Spurs might need to stop this switching bullshit in the playoffs against these guys. Looks like the Warriors have figured it out or our bigs need to be more active imo.

[Kawhitstorm]

Wow Anderson actually looked really good, maybe hes a good matchup against some dubs tbh, whats his +/-?

He's going to get D-West's minutes:toast

[Southwest Texas Fan]

Y'all don't stand a chance

Who the fuck are you????

[tmtcsc]

The Spurs never controlled the pace tonight and got nothing from Manu, West and Mills. Just really piss poor games. Diaw is obviously a difference maker too.

[Darius Bieber]

Someone just needs to step on that faggot Curry's ankles already tbh

[Kawhitstorm]

Spurs might need to stop this switching bullshit in the playoffs against these guys. Looks like the Warriors have figured it out or our bigs need to be more active imo.

Diaw/Fat Head are speed demons compared to Tim/West:lol

[TheGreatYacht]

He's going to get D-West's minutes:toast
Tim's******

[RD2191]

I agree, but we also needed to score more and we didn't do that...
Offense has been trash all season though. We aren't magically going to start scoring 110 every game.

[spursistan]

Dubs just have too many weapons imo. Klay and Curry have had somewhat mediocre games and we're still losing by a good margin. That's bad news.
only a Spurs homer deny the fact the we are underpowered, tbh ..Fuckin Curry/klay had stinker in SA ad they were still in it with minute left..

[Mnky]

Nothing you saw tonight will be seen in the playoffs. Pop was not coaching. He's letting them play. That's good. Let them build up a reason to get better.

[ElNono]

Offense has been trash all season though. We aren't magically going to start scoring 110 every game.

we should :hat

[Holden_Caulfield]

k mart baby

[TheGreatYacht]

KMart needs to take Mills' minutes.

[RD2191]

we should :hat
:lol

[100%duncan]

Get it down 10 and we can have some raymoving screen like excuse

[ElNono]

i liked Kmart tonight

[Holden_Caulfield]

went over 100 :flag:

[SASdynasty!]

Worst Spurs game of the season on the road, 11 point loss.

[itzsoweezee]

I'm confident lma is going to do better than 5 of 16

[Kawhitstorm]

11 rebs for Fat Head:wow

[Mugen]

Predictable outcome to anybody who watches the team except for Pop apparently. At least we managed to torpedo the season by getting LMA hurt in a meaningless game tbh :lol

[timtonymanu]

i liked Kmart tonight

Bounced back after a bad start. Anderson looked decent too.

[TheGreatYacht]

Good try.

Scrub ass Barnes hit bullshit shots and LMA got hurt

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Fuck E 40

[Horry Hipcheck]

Congrats to the Warriors on 70 wins. I hope the Spurs beat the shit out of them on Sunday. If for no reason other than I want to believe it can be done.

[Silver&Black]

Warriors win by 11. 112-101...

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

[NASpurs]

went over 100 :flag:Gotta crawl before you can run. :lol

[SASdynasty!]

Aldridge hurt, no Diaw, bad game on the road and lost by 11. Not bad imo.

[steeledl]

I mean, realistically, we arent beating this team in a 7 game series. I hope we get past the Thunder so that we at least get the shot at it though. This team is historically great.

[Horry Hipcheck]

Aldridge will be fine, jfc

[KDKSpurs24]

Aldridge hurt, no Diaw, bad game on the road and lost by 11. Not bad imo.
That's not a real 11.. It wasn't that close.

[SouthernFried]

Wow, Kyle had more Defensive Rebounds, than the entire starting lineup combined.

[SASdynasty!]

I'll believe it when I see us lose 1 at home this year.

[RD2191]

That's not a real 11.. It wasn't that close.

[Kawhitstorm]

Wow, Kyle had more Defensive Rebounds, than the entire starting lineup combined.

He has the best Reb% for small-forwards:toast

[SAGirl]

The Spurs never controlled the pace tonight and got nothing from Manu, West and Mills. Just really piss poor games. Diaw is obviously a difference maker too.
Diaw is really missed. Everyone started out cold too. We can't get in a hole. It was a better performance than the January blowout, but TD is a concern, Dwest has been a turnstile on rim protection all season + lack of rebounding. They will learn from it.

Was glad to see Martin shooting well despite the bad defense. Sometimes you need a jolt of scoring but the bench, Patty bad D + cold shooting, etc. Guys didn't play well. I thought they wanted it though. Without Diaw though it's hard to tell. Guys got experience and that's it.

[pgardn]

11 rebs for Fat Head:wow

Yeah he was sky walking.

When the other team takes 325 shots there are some rebounds to be had.


This is a game you don't really stat analyze.
Our D was awful and they took advantage and moved the ball well.

During important minutes our offense was not good.

Thats it, good night.

[Kawhitstorm]

Aldridge will be fine, jfc

Pop was FORCE FEEDING him & he had no rhythm after the injury.

[SASdynasty!]

That's not a real 11.. It wasn't that close.
My bad, we lost by 25. I misread the score.

[steeledl]

They will beat us at least once on our home court, assuming we get to the WCF, which means we have to be able to win 2 times on their floor to win the series. Tall task .

[Mugen]

:lol Now Spurfan has to spend the last week of the season convincing themselves that Aldridge will be fine....

When the real issue is that the coach who's supposedly pioneered resting guys has torpedoed another season by playing his best players in meaningless games.

[rmt]

How long does an injury like LMA's take to heal?

[Kawhitstorm]

Yeah he was sky walking.

Care to explain why D-West had ZERO rebounds:wakeup

[Horse]

Warriors are the ultimate front runners gotta fight back keep it close and they will crumble. This is a team of pussies. They will be exposed.

[TheDoctor]

Final score not showing how loopsided this game was tbh.

[KDKSpurs24]

My bad, we lost by 25. I misread the score.
:wakeup

[SouthernFried]

Dislocated fingers can be quick or slow...just depends on swelling.

[Kawhitstorm]

How long does an injury like LMA's take to heal?

No healing required, just pain tolerance until the swelling goes down otherwise you can play through it. Shawn Marion had a PERMANENTLY dislocated pinky finger:

[pgardn]

Care to explain why D-West had ZERO rebounds:wakeup

They had dunks and long shots.

When long shots miss, they rebound longer.
There ya go. Now look at minutes.:wakeup:wakeup

[SouthernFried]

Shoulda iced LMA finger immediately. No need for him to play and risk aggravating it even more.

[Kawhitstorm]

ZERO rebounds:wakeup

[steeledl]

Oh well. At least we will for sure make it through round 1. Haven't really expected to have a legit shot at the title since the Warriors started 24 and 0. Still been a great season.... just unlucky we are going to run into a historic team.

[Kawhitstorm]

:lol Now Spurfan has to spend the last week of the season convincing themselves that Aldridge will be fine....

When the real issue is that the coach who's supposedly pioneered resting guys has torpedoed another season by playing his best players in meaningless games.

Acting like a dislocated PINKY finger is a season ending injury:lmao

[SouthernFried]

Shawn Marions finger looks like both my pinky fingers. They were broke (by terrible passes to me) and healed that way...even had surgery on 'em. Not dislocated.

[pgardn]

ZERO rebounds:wakeup

Yep it happens. Just like 10 rebounds.
Have you unearthed some fantastic insight?

[steeledl]

Positives of tonight are that Pop has probably learned his lesson about playing Duncan or Anderson against the Warriors.

[tmtcsc]

Out-rebounded by 11, shot a lower FG%, missed 7 FT's and the starters were outscored 86-57. Not gonna win with #s like that.

[timtonymanu]

:lol Now Spurfan has to spend the last week of the season convincing themselves that Aldridge will be fine....

If that was Golden God, he wouldn't have even checked back in. :wakeup

:lol You are probably fat and have never played a game of basketball in your life tbh. There's 0% chance you know what dislocated pinky finger would affect your shooting.

[steeledl]

Another positive tonight was Parkers defense. They think they can abuse him in the post w/ Barnes, Klay, and Livingston but for the 2nd straight time Parker has held his own.

[TheDoctor]

How long does an injury like LMA's take to heal?
I dislocated the same finger playing baseball (slide) and it took about 2 weeks to feel right. But Im no where of an athlete nor I got the doctors/treatment these guys have.

[SASdynasty!]

Shaq not cliffjumping like ST

[SpurPadre]

Welp, we gotta win one in Oakland and it needs to happen before a game 7, tbh.

[james evans]

didn't see the game. ONly saw the 4th. Wasn't expecting a win anyway, but parker and west are liabilities on defense. Also mills, but mills was scoring tonight. Golden state drives and kicks out for the open 3 every time. That's why I hate playing teams like the Jazz that can't shoot worth shit. We pack thepaint with them, but when we play teams that can shoot(GS, Charlotte, etc) we pay for it. We good. Not concerned

[james evans]

:lol You are probably fat and have never played a game of basketball in your life tbh. There's 0% chance you know what dislocated pinky finger would affect your shooting.
well I'm not fat and I play basketball and i BROKE my pinky. just tape it up. It affects it a bit, but he mostly shoots midrange. He's god. Don't forget that Bernard King had dislocated fingers that series he tore the piston's asses up.

[Kawhitstorm]

:lol You are probably fat and have never played a game of basketball in your life tbh. There's 0% chance you know what dislocated pinky finger would affect your shooting.

Dumbass, it isn't PERMANENTLY dislocated. It's just swelling & pain once it's popped back into place. It's all about pain tolerance as long as he didn't tear a ligament.

[pgardn]

:lol You are probably fat and have never played a game of basketball in your life tbh. There's 0% chance you know what dislocated pinky finger would affect your shooting.

When it first happens it definitely has an effect. They can swell very rapidly.

After it permanently freezes with arthritic calcification after repeated dislocations you learn to shoot with it, or not.

1) Tony played great defense.
2) Paddy shot horrible.

Spurs won Gm 6 @ OKC w/ ThundeRefs & no Porker.:wakeup

[tbdog]

We got beat on the boards, missed a bunch of FT's, and Warriors/Barnes hit his 3's. We lost by 11 with LMA hurting his shooting hand, Diaw out, away from home, and Pop not calling plays. We will be fine. My take. Make manu the backup point and Martin the backup 2. Mills cant play against them.

[Kawhitstorm]

1) Tony played great defense.

Spurs are lucky not to get blown out by 30 when LMA is outscored by BOTH Draymond/Barnes.:lol

You forgot the most important factor, D-West checked in for LMA then the Worriers went up 15 in the 3rd quarter & that was all she wrote. :sleep

[SouthernFried]

Starters - 9 assists
Bench - 19 assists

Starters playing the ISO game. Miss the "beautiful" game...

[Harry Callahan]

Suggestions:
1) We need D West to start dishing out cheap shots like the clumsy asshole Bogut. Hopefully Andrew's feet break into pieces again.

2) The Spurs must perfect their screening technique where they shove an overplaying defender in the back with both arms extended to create space and not get called for an offensive foul. Saw that four or five times with no whistle.

3) Slap down defense on shots were no foul is called. Pop should be able to teach that, right? Eight or nine possessions were ended that way. Bullshit.

4) An "accidental" elbow to GSW's green on Sunday would be most welcome. Preferably to that bi-polar idiot's jaw or orbital bone. When things eventually go south for that team, that psycho will destroy them from within.

Danny green sucks

[dabom]

So he is Jordan?

He is not on the ball take over. And if you think he has had a good game by the stat line you have shit in your own eyes.

Faggot thinks Kawhi didn't have a good game. :lmao

[gambit1990]

to the people in this thread crucifying patty... tony shot just 2.5% better. they both had the same amount of assists, patty had one less turnover. patty also had one more steal.

[tholdren]

Who is worse Kyle or Danny?
