[NASpurs]

Please no overtime, otherwise RIP Duncan.

[Silver&Black]

They get their goaltending call :rolleyes

[spursistan]

[pgardn]

Get on with it

Goaltending

[Silver&Black]

:lmao MVPatty

[Thomas82]

Come on K-Mart!!!

[$pursDynasty]

Kmart sucks should have kept Simmons in

[Silver&Black]

He doesn't have the ball...no clear path

[TheGreatYacht]

Late game plays by Pop :lmao

Bottom 3 coach at them

[pgardn]

Patty missed Duncan wide open on the cut, turned his back

Bounce pass through there.

[spursistan]

"start Paddy" :lmao

[resistanze]

morons.

[Uriel]

Holy fuck.

[Kawhitstorm]

Fatty:bang

[sasaint]

Kmart sucks should have kept Simmons in

Simmons was starting to get in a groove.

[Darius Bieber]

That turnover is on patty.

[SpurPadre]

This is why Pop should've benched the team last night instead to avoid consecutive losses.

[Silver&Black]

Go for the 3 and the win. If it goes in great...if it doesn't fuck it

[pgardn]

This is why Pop should've benched the team last night instead to avoid consecutive losses.

Really?

Like pop gives a shit.

[sasaint]

Patty missed Duncan wide open on the cut, turned his back

Bounce pass through there.

Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory... Smh

[Uriel]

Pop's gonna go for the 3. He's not interested in sending this game to OT.

[NASpurs]

This is why Pop should've benched the team last night instead to avoid consecutive losses.


Pop doesn't give a shit about consecutive losses now since they're locked in at the second seed. :lol

[NASpurs]

Fucking Patty

[Kawhitstorm]

Come on K-Mart!!!

That was on Patty who threw a lazy/telegraphed pass when Harris was in the passing lane.:rolleyes

[Ron Swanson]

Jesus

[Silver&Black]

:lmao #StartPatty

[spursistan]

:lmao #StartPatty

[Uriel]

This could be our first 2-game losing streak of the season.

[TheGreatYacht]

Late game plays should go to Becky....

Poop :lmao

[Kawhitstorm]

Pop's gonna go for the 3. He's not interested in sending this game to OT.

Been calling those plays for a while....

[loveforthegame]

Way to waste Duncan's throwback game. Good job Pop and team. :tu

[james evans]

I'm not mad we lost, because Popovich rested the starters, but Mills is becoming worthless.

[Kawhitstorm]

F:lolTTY:lmao

[Texas_Ranger]

someone needs to break this loser Mills's shoulder once again.

[Darius Bieber]

Lol Spurs are done.

[$pursDynasty]

Pop lost the game when he took Simmons out. When Patty Fathead and KMart came in we lost momentum

[Silver&Black]

Nuggets broadcast is happy AF. "Nuggets...only team to beat both the Warriors and the Spurs this year"

They'll probably hang a banner for it.

[SpurPadre]

Pop doesn't give a shit about consecutive losses now since they're locked in at the second seed. :lol

Still, we're stumbling into the playoffs with horrendous fourth quarter execution.

[spurtech09]

What a waste.....

[Robz4000]

Spurs bout to lose their last five games of the season.

[james evans]

That turnover is on patty.
whch one? :lol

[Capt Bringdown]

Terrible job by Mills. What a pity.

[spursistan]

It Parker or bust..Patty Mills is a turrible at PGing :lol

[Budkin]

What a choke!

[Kawhitstorm]

Way to waste Duncan's throwback game. Good job Pop and team. :tu

The disgust in Tim's face when Harris was streaking down the court after Patty fumbled the hand-off was priceless:lol

[Darius Bieber]

So which of you delusional Spurs fans still think the Spurs get past the first round?

[SAGirl]

Patty with a bad game. Possibly his worst of the season?

[Thomas82]

That was on Patty who threw a lazy/telegraphed pass when Harris was in the passing lane.:rolleyes

But didn't K-Mart get called for an offensive foul?

[pgardn]

Really?

Like pop gives a shit.


:lmao #StartPatty

I love the guy.

But how many times we have people wanting him to play point... Foolishness. His game comes in short time spans and is off the ball. He can light it up and I'm glad we have him.

[Silver&Black]

Some ugly ass lines from a couple guys tonight.

http://i.imgur.com/v3myaoE.png

[$pursDynasty]

The Timmay, Captain, Simmons, Miller and KA lineup, made the run, Pop got cute and KMart wet the bed and Patty added 0

[turb0time]

Good lord...

[SPURt]

That final rotation was ass Pop. Obviously Bonner should've been in the game as he was +14 on the night.

[Darius Bieber]

But didn't K-Mart get called for an offensive foul?

It was a foul to prevent the fast break.

[SpurPadre]

Really?

Like pop gives a shit.

Why stumble into the playoffs instead of getting into a groove and on a positive note?

[Uriel]

:lol

[Ditty]

I'm more surprised that the game thread was only 10 pages today compared to 50 something last night against the Warriors :lol

[pgardn]

So which of you delusional Spurs fans still think the Spurs get past the first round?

How much$

Now?

Give it up.

[Silver&Black]

:td FatHead tonight
:td MVPatty tonight

:tu:tu GOAT PF

[PopTheGOAT]

Patty with a bad game. Possibly his worst of the season?
The last two plays alone did that lol

[sammy]

Should've left Miller in the game! Pop brings Mills in & 2 turnovers & we lose! This is on Pop & Mills!

[$pursDynasty]

It Parker or bust..Patty Mills is a turrible at PGing :lol
Yet the Parker haters will swear he is Tha truth and answer to our prayers:lol

[pgardn]

That still can be done.

[Thomas82]

Oh, ok.....I was following the game on ESPN.com since I wasn't able to watch it.

[elemento]

Too bad we couldn't pull the W off today. But it was nice to see some vintage Duncan :hat

[Ditty]

Darius shut up dude, go cheer for someone else if you think the Spurs are going to lose a series to either Dallas or Memphis even Utah:lol

[$pursDynasty]

Should've left Miller in the game! Pop brings Mills in & 2 turnovers & we lose! This is on Pop & Mills!
And Kmart,
should have stuck with Miller and Simmons

[Kawhitstorm]

But didn't K-Mart get called for an offensive foul?

Nope, that was a loose ball foul

[DMC]

Tim will get some play and everyone will bump every "Tim is old" comment ever made. When he disappears in the playoffs because he cannot move any more, it will fall deathly silent in here, like someone just stepped on your graves.

Just look at the front page of the Spurs forum, exactly as I said. Some of you are so predictable, that's why midget dictators trick fucked your entire societies for centuries and left you taking 12' wooden boats to America.

[Kawhitstorm]

And Kmart,
should have stuck with Miller and Simmons

Should have stuck w/ running plays for Timmay:wakeup

[UNT Eagles 2016]

[Budkin]

First round ain't shit. Second round though...

[TDomination]

It was fun to see Duncan playing a lot and shooting more

getting ready for playoff Duncan!

[pgardn]

I'm not mad we lost, because Popovich rested the starters, but Mills is becoming worthless.

No he is not.

You just can't put him at point.
You put him where he thrives, off the ball and moving.

This board is just frenetic bipolar.

[$pursDynasty]

Simmons looked good, so good in fact I wonder why we haven't seen more of him lately, since I am very unimpressed with Kmart, and Bonner

[Kawhitstorm]

:td FatHead tonight
:td MVPatty tonight

:tu:tu GOAT PF

The game was supposed to be a scrimmage for Timmay & that was a success.

[TDomination]

No he is not.

You just can't put him at point.
You put him where he thrives, off the ball and moving.

This board is just frenetic bipolar.

Bipolar is an understatement

just stupid people saying stupid things

[Budkin]

K-Mart brought us back and then went to shit.

[Kawhitstorm]

Yet the Parker haters will swear he is Tha truth and answer to our prayers:lol

BOTH Porker/Fatty suck but Porker is the lesser of two evils unless Patty is making his open shots. I'll take Miller over either one at this point.

[SAGirl]

It Parker or bust..Patty Mills is a turrible at PGing :lol
Patty put that game together to quell the calls to bench Tony. He's that good of a teammate.
:lol
------
Frankly, scrimmage meaningless game. Pop could have stayed with Miller who had the better game and Simmons but he wanted to get Patty experience directing the offense in crunch time. It didn't go well. I hope he bounces back from this one. If there ever was a game to scrub it up this was fine.
-------
TIMMY with 34 minutes. If there was just the one reason to watch the game it was him.:tu
Conditioning up? Check!

[pgardn]

Just look at the front page of the Spurs forum, exactly as I said. Some of you are so predictable, that's why midget dictators trick fucked your entire societies for centuries and left you taking 12' wooden boats to America.

You have not made a shocking proclamation.

We still need his length.
You would not want to go into the playoffs without him.

[Kawhitstorm]

K-Mart brought us back and then went to shit.

He started hero-ballin' when Pop stopped calling plays for Tim & had them playing the clock. Miller took a contested shot b/c he didn't know what to run which was when Patty checked in & sealed the loss.:lol

[pgardn]

BOTH Porker/Fatty suck but Porker is the lesser of two evils unless Patty is making his open shots. I'll take Miller over either one at this point.

Did you watch Miller tonight?

[Kawhitstorm]

Patty put that game together to quell the calls to bench Tony. He's that good of a teammate.

:lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Did you watch Miller tonight?

Yes, he was fine until crunch time when he didn't know what set to run b/c Pop wasn't calling plays.

[siraulo23]

good god, spurs execution to end the game after being up by 4 :vomit:

:lol

Or without Parker but let's be real.

Dribble.exe has stopped working.

Windows is looking for solutions to the problem.

Want to report?

[Budkin]

:lol

Bunch of scrubs that had no idea what to do. And Pop drunk.

[Kawhitstorm]

Jizz playing at home & needing OT against the Cripples 2nd stringers b/c Pierce is also having a throwback game like Timmay. (Trying to keep up on the scoring list)

[pgardn]

Yes, he was fine until crunch time when he didn't know what set to run b/c Pop wasn't calling plays.

Its Parker at point.

Patty and Manu 2nd team handling off each other.
This obviously is not our strength but you must live with it.

[NameLess Scrub]

Should be one of the worst executions to close a game I have seen from the Spurs.

They were playing for the other team.

Oh well, at least it was meaningless, but they spoiled Timmy's vintage night.

[Kawhitstorm]

good god, spurs execution to end the game after being up by 4 :vomit:

Reminded me of last season.:lol (Thank god for Kawhi being a legit closer)

Yaaaaaaaaaaaa, Jazz need to stay 8th & Cripples backups needed a confidence booster. Worriers aren't going to have a cakewalk to the WCF.:toast

[pgardn]

Or without Parker but let's be real.

It's clear. He is running chop step down the court.

He did it all night.

[Kawhitstorm]

Should be one of the worst executions to close a game I have seen from the Spurs..

The Pistons game from last season was just as bad & you also had Gm 6.:lol

[GSH]

That was absolute shit clock management. The Spurs inbounded with about 40 seconds - perfect 2-for-1 opportunity. Instead of letting the ball bounce all the way to mid-court, Patty picked it up and dribbled it across. That ate up 4-5 seconds that could have been the difference in getting a good last look. Of course it didn't matter, since he coughed up the ball anyway. But part of the reason he coughed it up was because he was trying to go early - which he wouldn't have had to do if he hadn't wasted that time.

On the last possession, West let the ball bounce all the way to mid-court before picking it up. HE knew what to do in that situation. Patty is supposed to be leading the offense when he's out there. By now he should understand 2-for-1 situations and clock management better than that. Bad execution is one thing, but stupid play is worse.

[Ditty]

Yeah looks like the 4/5 matchup is now set with the Clippers vs Blazers. We are getting either Memphis or Dallas now with Utah's loss is a long shot now. Mavs have been playing better basketball lately, but think Thunder or Spurs still sweep them and Memphis. GS is going to get either Utah or Houston, which they will win either series but not the most desirable.

Really praying the Blazers keep the 6th seed. Memphis has zero chance against OKC but the jailblazers should make it somewhat interesting. I also want a rested LA against GSW. Its highly unlikely but every spursfan at this point should hope for Griffin to get back his early season form.

[SAGirl]

The Timmay, Captain, Simmons, Miller and KA lineup, made the run, Pop got cute and KMart wet the bed and Patty added 0
Good summary. Kyle bad shooting night but he wasn't throwing away the ball. Patty/Kmart terrible connection.:lol Frankly I though maybe if Kyle handled the ball at the end out of those 3 we got a shot for the other two who are shooters not PG.
This was :pop:
He really wanted to get the experience for Patty and Martin in this one.

[Kawhitstorm]

By now he should understand 2-for-1 situations and clock management better than that. Bad execution is one thing, but stupid play is worse.

Fatty was channeling his inner Turnobili tonight:lol

Anderson 1 for 9. The end

[Ditty]

Was really hoping the fucking Blazers would get the Thunder. Think that series would be more interesting. I wonder if Blazers rest their players and tank the last two games and try to get the Thunder as they match up better with them and also have two wins over them this season also.

And GSW playing Utah.

[siraulo23]

At least Spurs are not due to lose back to back games in the POs now :lol

That would be silly on their part since they havent clinched the 6th seed yet. Avoiding SA and GSW is probably top priority for these guys.

I agree think Griffin can get his rhythm back against the Mavs or Grizzlies and would be a quick 5 game series against either teams. Trailblazers have a Minny and Denver the last two games, maybe they think they can upset the Thunder as they beat them twice this season, and matchup better & stay away from the Warriors if they would end up upsetting LA.

[Ditty]

That would be silly on their part since they havent clinched the 6th seed yet. Avoiding SA and GSW is probably top priority for these guys.

I think they're the 5th seed right now with Memphis lost tonight. I think they can afford to lose both games to finish no lower than the 6th seed with 2 games left for them.

I'm not sure, but CJ and dame would be a nightmare for that okc defense that is awful defending the penetration. They also have Aminu to cover durant. Dude is one of the top 5 SF defenders in the league. ED davis can also ball.

The perfect scenario for the spurs is to for Memphis to stay at 5th to give LA the needed reps for Griffin and still win easy against memphis. Blazers at 6th for a possible upset against OKC. Jazz at 7. And Dallas at 8.

I was debating between Jazz and Dallas, went with Jazz because I dont want to give gsw practice against a slow paced team that relies on an SF and A a PF to score. Its basically good practice before facing the spurs.

[spursistan]

Yeah..not sure what Portland thinking by trying to avoid OKC :lol

[apalisoc_9]

I think they're the 5th seed right now with Memphis lost tonight. I think they can afford to lose both games to finish no lower than the 6th seed with 2 games left for them.

You're right. They are 5th. Thats terrible for the spurs :sad

Looks like everything is lining up nicely for GSW. Still, LA is 4th and thats what matters. Go Clippers Go.

[SupremeGuy]

Pop played the last two games wrong and this is the result...

Clippers-Warriors it is going to be closer series than people expected as you said..Sadly, could see that going to 6-7 only for GSW to come out stronger of it and just blitz us in easy 5 game..

[Kawhitstorm]

Nice couple of examples. :lol

Fatty fumbling the ball against the Pistons:lol

The more games they play, the bigger probability of injury bro...

[Kawhitstorm]

You think Pop cared about the wins/losses, he literally said this was a scrimmage game for Timmay:lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Bogut/Draymond are the ones bound to commit a dirty foul if say the Clippers are handing it to 'em (Bogut took out Favors when he was smashing Draymond & he took out LMA when he was going at Barnes)

I've seen toothless aldrich rough up pointguards. Cp3 is also a dirty player. So who knows. Cp3 is desperate man...who knows what he.might resort to.

Blazers HAVEN'T fared well against OKC, they beat them in Portland b/c Lillard caught fire against OKC's shitty 4th quarter defense. The second win was against OKC's backups & it was still a close game w/ Kanter putting up a 30/20 game. Aminu can do a decent job on KD but they have nobody to guard Westbrook.

I guess they have a better shot against OKC than the Clippers (CP3 owns Lillard) b/c OKC has a tendency to sleepwalk & play sloppy but they are still not winning more than 2 games.

OKC hasn't been able to defend opposing PGs, at all, the past few months, tbh..Westbrook will go off, but there's a pretty nice chance that Lillard can negate him IMO..

That series would go 6 IMO..everything else in the West will go 4 or 5, probably the former..

I've been putting WestBrick fake MVP campaign on blast so I'm aware of his shitty defense.:lol

Blazers have no answer for the WB/Kanter PnR so even if Lillard neutralizes him the Blazers have to contend w/ KD/Kanter.

They need to win this season or trades will be happening. Gsw is a machine though and Clippers with their internal issues are so unreliable. I am rooting for them to have a good series bc if GSW breaks them down, they are nit getting back up IMO. That would be another weakened WC team. In the end the league is less fun with so much tanking and top heavy teams. Some parity is necessary to maintain interest.

Kyle Aderson and Danny Green are both fringe NBA players. However, SA will need them to play well to win a ring. It doesn't mean they are worth anything. It only means SA needs everyone to contribute. Those two, Green and Anderson, are the worst players on the team next to Bonner. There is really no arguing any thing else.

I've never heard someone being in a "season long" shooting slump. And the only other time people were cheering on a player for not doing anything well but being a +/- champ was here, in reference to Bonner. Kyle Anderson has now stole that show.
