*** Official Game 1/82: Spurs @ Dubs Game Thread sponsored by Valvoline ***

[DPG21920]

Have to be careful that Spurs don't get TP switched onto Durant too often. Obviously that type of switching will be big trouble.

[Obstructed_View]

Yeah
The Spurs are really long.

Not having Bogut in there clearing out bodies makes it a lot easier to defend and a lot harder for the Dubs to break down the D.

[ElNono]

That LOGAN trailer looks amazing. Really looking forward to that movie.

looking forward to Bad Santa 2 here, tbh

[turkish spurs fan]

i need link tbh

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Well good start for the Spurs but only up 3 and GS won't miss bunnies forever.

We'r expected to get blown out so whatever, but damn goes Pau look good out there :tu

Gasol on Curry wasn't much better.

[testies]

Kawhi is fucking terrible

and Pop/American still wnat him to run pick n rolls

[Ron Swanson]

looking forward to Bad Santa 2 here, tbh

Bad Santa 2 is going to be awesome.

[noles1983]

yay porker/kawhi iso ball....barf

[RD2191]

Kawhi not looking good early.

[Obstructed_View]

That was a shit entry pass.

[testies]

Lol Kawhi turnover machine

He should never handle the ball in half court situations

just fucking cut hard and get rbounds

[DPG21920]

Overall, despite some choppiness with points of entry on passes, spacing, etc (to be expected) this is a very positive start!

[r0drig0lac]

Kawhi Harden

[Silver&Black]

Lol Kawhi turnover machine

He should never handle the ball in half court situations

just fucking cut hard and get rbounds

5:20 into the very first game of the season....chill bruh.

[RD2191]

Come on TP.

[ElNono]

fathead getting roasted

[Play Boban]

Parker hero ball leads to a Durant transition 3.

[bklynspursfan]

Anderson just lost Durant there. Cant have that kind of lapse

[jag]

Duncan not being here still has me in my feels. I'm not even hype for the game

This is what the end feels like tbh :cry

[RD2191]

Lol pau

[Darius Bieber]

Warriors just toying with the Spurs. 50+ point blowout.

[BatManu20]

sup Man! thought you retired with 21 :cry

Na my man, just enjoyed the long offseason lol. Ready to go now though

[dabom]

Fathead is garbage

[noles1983]

i hope all these GSW players tear an acl this year

[Ron Swanson]

DPOY doing DPOY things

[RD2191]

Oh come on

[Obstructed_View]

You couldn't ask for more open shots than the Spurs are getting. Really hate how in love they are with jump shots.

[noles1983]

this brand of nba offense is just disgusting to me tbh. 3 chucking, so sad.

[BatManu20]

Team defense is shit so far tbh

[dabom]

That's 9 for Durant and 2 for steph on fathead. Lol

[Ron Swanson]

You can't breathe on Curry, Pau.

[Uriel]

Pace is picking up. Unsurprisingly, so are the Warriors.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs have a massive size advantage over the Warriors and are forced to take long jumpers.

Kawhi needs to step it up

[DPG21920]

Spurs missing some wide open shots. Got sloppy and tired. Pau has to hit those good looks.

Kyle is hurting things on offense every time he doesn't shoot. Have to get some shooters in.

[Obstructed_View]

Thought they weren't calling that Jason Terry shit anymore.

[ElNono]

defense is shit, but warrioref gonna warrioref, tbh

[testies]

0 post set plays for Aldridge, who is one trilion times more talented offensively than kawhi

[Darius Bieber]

If you're gonna foul Curry, foul him hard. Tear his ACLs.

[r0drig0lac]

lot of turnovers

[RD2191]

In before the blowout

[Uriel]

Also, the way Curry can just casually dribble to the 3-point line, then pull up for a 3 and nail it with a hand in his face is just a thing of beauty.

[Keepin' it real]

KL where you at?

[DPG21920]

LMA is going to really have to focus on passing. He will get doubled and he just has to make good decisions.

[tonight...you]

Kyle... still allergic to shooting. I'm hating this.

[spurtech09]

Spurs lack shooters Warriors lack bigs

[Ron Swanson]

Simmons!

[Silver&Black]

Simmons...

My nigga.

[DPG21920]

Patty/Simmons making an impact with the change of pace :tu

[808]

Dat juice

[Uriel]

Jonathan Simmons :wow

[BatManu20]

Damn Kawhi 1/5 so far.

[ElNono]

det bench

[RD2191]

Great energy by the bench!

[bklynspursfan]

Simmons looks good so far

[Budkin]

In before the blowout

We all knew it was coming.

[GSH]

Pop going away from the no-PG offense now.

[Obstructed_View]

Simmons playing energizer bunny. GO YOUNG MAN!

[Chris]

The bench looks good

[Nathan89]

Just when I gave up on Simmons :lol

[dabom]

Fathead out Spurs on 6 point run. I hope SAGirl taking notes.

[gambit1990]

parker and anderson fans :lol

[noles1983]

fathead leaves, we get better. shocker

[FaM0us Skins]

Simmons is full of energy

[r0drig0lac]

wow nice...great start by Sims

[BatManu20]

Nice little 6-0 run

[HI-FI]

Holy shit this commercial is terrible.

[LkrFan]

MVPAU with 2 fouls :)

[tmtcsc]

Bench has a pulse. Nice to see. Starters looked stuck in mud.

[james evans]

ok, can someone please explain to me WHAT THE FUCK Popovich was thinking by having Anderson start and guard KD? This dude has fucking lost it.

[DPG21920]

Spurs lack shooters Warriors lack bigs

While it's not ideal, Spurs have incredible jump shooters. Kawhi/LMa/Pau are about as good as it gets. Sure, you would like them to drive more and operate in the post, but you saw it's crowded in there. LMA already had a TO in there.

The shots they are getting are what the defense have to give, but luckily LMA/Kawhi/Pau should have more good nights than bad if that is the shots they are getting.

[Keepin' it real]

Damn Kawhi 1/5 so far.

The future is now.

[$pursDynasty]

Super team my ass

[tonight...you]

Kawhi's looking like ass.

[bklynspursfan]

Kyle... still allergic to shooting. I'm hating this.

He had 1 opportunity at a corner 3 but passed it up. He was OK overall, kinda out of place offensively. 1 bad play defensively leaving KD open, but he was ok.

Just seems like a confidence thing with him.

[Obstructed_View]

LMA is going to really have to focus on passing. He will get doubled and he just has to make good decisions.

Yeah, he waited too long. He's going to learn to do that Karl Malone over-the-shoulder thing eventually, right?

[SPURt]

Spurs don't hit a field goal for 4.5 minutes and still lead. The Warriors depth is looking like poop

[r0drig0lac]

Fathead out Spurs on 6 point run. I hope SAGirl taking notes.

lmao

[Chris]

#StartSimmons

[LkrFan]

MVPAU with 2 fouls :) I mean :(

[CGD]

Instant change of pace with patty and Simms. Like last year that first unit is too stagnant.

Damn Kawhi 1/5 so far.
SMH

[Ditty]

Can we leave Anderson in Oakland?

[Chris]

MVPAU with 2 fouls :) I mean :(

Warrioref

[dabom]

Fathead let Durant drop 9 and Steph a fucking lane for 2 freethrows. :lmao

[james evans]

fathead leaves, we get better. shocker
what the fuck was Pop thinking? Is Anderson the new Bonner? Is he that guy that will be around for many years doing absolutely shit

[ElNono]

hopefully Pop is aware LaMarcus needs his numbers to make the All Star, tbh...

[Robz4000]

Dubs are completely avoiding whoever Kawhi is on tbh. Unfortunately him and LMA are mediocre on offense right now. Bench looking solid too.

[DPG21920]

parker and anderson fans :lol

:lol "Garino going to make an impact over Forbes"

[noles1983]

Spurs don't hit a field goal for 4.5 minutes and still lead. The Warriors depth is looking like poop

they have missed quite a few open shots and a couple bunnies

[Ron Swanson]

WTF Lee

[spurtech09]

David West ......

[ace3g]

Manu tres!!!

[ElNono]

Maaaanu

[noles1983]

Fathead let Durant drop 9 and Steph a fucking lane for 2 freethrows. :lmao

[Ron Swanson]

Manu!!!!

[Play Boban]

Manuuuuuu

Manu 4 333333333333333...

Mi Negro.

[Obstructed_View]

[Chris]

Looks like Kerr is going to run Curry into the dirt this season :lol

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you David Worst

[RD2191]

Simmons looking good.

[bklynspursfan]

Simmons has impressed early on

[808]

Thank god there's no Mole Speights anymore

[Nathan89]

Simmons finally looking legit.

[Robz4000]

:wow Simmons creating

[r0drig0lac]

Manuu!!!

[Chris]

D-Worst spotted :lol

[Obstructed_View]

Simmons with another good decision.

[noles1983]

the new tosb manu dropping 3's

[DPG21920]

Defense is going to take time. You can already see, especially with a lot of switching (which will not be the norm because most teams aren't like GS), that it will be tough early.

The SL is going to look slow, especially with Kyle instead of Danny. But they are huge and skillful. Generated good shots.

[spurtech09]

Attack David West.....

[GSH]

Simmons finally looking legit.


It's almost like the FO knew something we didn't.

[phxspurfan]

Love the size of this team. We look like the 2010 Lakers out there

[Chris]

What a faggot he never did that here :lol

[Uriel]

Captain Traitor.

[RD2191]

West you bum.

[noles1983]

Looks like Kerr is going to run Curry into the dirt this season :lol

price you pay for having no bench, will be interesting to see the further the season progresses how they handle the minutes

[bklynspursfan]

Lee doing what he does. Lmao Dedmon

[spurtech09]

Simmons on West?....Making West look good!!!!!

[BatManu20]

Lol Dedmon

[Silver&Black]

:lol Dedmon

[RD2191]

What a faggot he never did that here :lol

[Play Boban]

Dedmon scrub.

[timtonymanu]

smh Ayres Dedmon

[Chris]

uh oh Dedmon might have made highlight reel for the wrong reason

[ElNono]

David Lee carrying scrubs, tbh

[dabom]

Dedman. Lol

[phxspurfan]

Lol Shaqtin a fool moment for denmon

[Obstructed_View]

Then SImmons fucking tried for the strip. Damn.

[noles1983]

west already with a better play than he gave us all year, fuck that faggot

[bklynspursfan]

Good showing from the bench early on

[FaM0us Skins]

Lol

[timtonymanu]

Dedmon embarrassment

[RD2191]

Lol dedmon gtfo

[Budkin]

Fuck West. POS

[Uriel]

[HI-FI]

[Keepin' it real]

[Obstructed_View]

Fuck, Dedmon.

[ace3g]

Dedmon..

Patty up

[DeRozan m8]

Why didn't West do that with us? Mofo

[BatManu20]

Simmons!

[bklynspursfan]

Dedmon looks good out there. Positioning on defense, rotation, etc... sure he missed a dunk but he looks good

[Ron Swanson]

Fuck yeah, Simmons

[Chris]

F YEAH!!!! :lmao

[ElNono]

Manu OMG.... !!!

[phxspurfan]

Oh damn get some!

[DPG21920]

Get WETTTTTTTTTT

[808]

Hahaha wtf 11 pt lead

[Robz4000]

:lmao holy shit I didn't expect this

[HI-FI]

JJJJJUUUUUIIIICCCCEEE

[Obstructed_View]

SIMMMOONNNNSSSSSSSZ

[ace3g]

Simmons 3!!!

[Uriel]

OMG :wow :wow :wow

Spurs up double digits in Golden State after one quarter. Is this real life??? :wow :wow :wow

[RD2191]

KD already working the refs :lol

[r0drig0lac]

amazing!!!!

[BatManu20]

Helluva way to end the quarter.

[SAGirl]

Simmons energized this.. got to give it to him!!!

[Nathan89]

Simmons> KA

It's official. :lol

[Ron Swanson]

Your leading scorer after 1... Simmons.

[ElNono]

damn, what a steal by Manu.... should've asked for $17m, tbh...

[Killakobe81]

Great start Spurs ...State missed some wide open shots and layups tho

[Obstructed_View]

Why didn't West do that with us? Mofo

He did in October.

[spurtech09]

Simmons and Mills playing good ball........Dedmon....thought the guy had hops...

[DarrinS]

FGS

[noles1983]

fucking fantastic start, probably still a loss but it looks promising. nice to play GSW off the bat while they try to figure things out

[tonight...you]

WHOOOOOO!!!!!

[capek]

Bench motherfuckers!

[timtonymanu]

Well some including myself were calling for Simmons to be traded but he looks good so far.

[Chris]

price you pay for having no bench, will be interesting to see the further the season progresses how they handle the minutes

I hope you're right. Losing Barnes and Bogut was huge

[james evans]

please Pop keep Anderson's sorry ass on the bench

[gambit1990]

parker and anderson fans :lol
such a better pace when they're not in. not surprised at all.

[mclinejr]

:wow

[dabom]

damn, what a steal by Manu.... should've asked for $17m, tbh...

Second unit without fathead confirmed. :lmao

[sasaint]

Deadman... SMH! But Simmons is looking better than he ever has in a RS game. Dude is beasting!

[Obstructed_View]

Great start Spurs ...State missed some wide open shots and layups

They weren't really wide open when there's two seven footers swatting at the ball.

[objective]

Can the new ownership give everyone who wanted Simmons cut a whack colored name?

[313]

We getting these fuck niggas out of here

[lofds]

Bring that juice, J-Sims! Don't think anyone would've expected this. They're gonna come out strong in the 2nd quarter.

[jiggy_55]

2 words: Jonathon Simmons!

[Nathan89]

We haven't even unleashed Bertans:lmao

[RD2191]

Trade KA.

[Maddog]

Trade Simmons now. Before the start of the next quarter.
What the @#$/ is he doing!

[DarrinS]

damn, what a steal by Manu.... should've asked for $17m, tbh...

Dude can still ball. Bargain, tbh.

[ElNono]

:cry but they did it against their bench :cry (with KD, and Curry too for a bit there)

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Spurs length and ball movment are welcomed additions

[99 Problems]

Yer.....

[8FOR!3]

Warriors shooting is going to be nuts once they really learn how to play as a team and move the ball with Durant. But they've definitely got some big holes, in the post and depth. Spurs team already looks like it has more upside to me than last year. Dedmon doesn't look nearly as athletic as I thought he was, but we'll see what happens. I have a feeling he's gonna be one of the guys who needs more time to adjust to the team.

[SPURt]

Simmons duecing on his detractors chests lol

[Cry Havoc]

FUCK YOU REGGIE MILLER


"This game so far is about Kevin Durant. 9 points 5 rebounblahblahblah"

As the Dubs go down by FUCKING ELEVEN POINTS.

FUCK.

REGGIE.

MILLER.

[Spurs9]

Tbh the warriors arent really impressive outside the big 4, our bench smokes them. Im really glad we got Lee tbh, always been a fan of his.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Won't change the end result but god damn was that a fun end to the quarter :toast

[james evans]

I hope you're right. Losing Livingston, Barnes, and Bogut was huge
Dude I've been saying that shit all summer. They gutted their bench. Lost 6 key players for Durant. We may not win the game tonight, but Durant, Klay, Curry, and Green can't play all game every game.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Long way to go but Spurs look like the Spurs. The show just keeps going. They are like the Pats. Good to see some ball movement and young guns trying to be vital. They will goof here and there

[tonight...you]

Second unit without fathead confirmed. :lmao

[ECOV]

Dedmon looks good out there. Positioning on defense, rotation, etc... sure he missed a dunk but he looks good
exactly people are so easy to give up.

[313]

Simmons hit a couple more of those and goodbye Green

[Obstructed_View]

Deadman... SMH! But Simmons is looking better than he ever has in a RS game. Dude is beasting!

He's probably touched the ball more than he expected to. Hoping he can figure it out. At least he's getting open and catching the ball. Also, he's not getting lost on defense.

[Chris]

Dedmon towers over D-Worst

[Killakobe81]

fucking fantastic start, probably still a loss but it looks promising. nice to play GSW off the bat while they try to figure things out

The offensive rebounding and paint points are easily sustainable...Tony is beating his man off the dribble.Kiwi aggressive none of those are flukes ...state is the better team but Klay playing like a bitch

[Obstructed_View]

Best quarter interview by Pop ever.

[spurtech09]

Lee needs to step up...

[TimDunkem]

Simmons actually looking like an NBA player. Good stuff.

Typical cement shoes Anderson doing his thing out there too (which is being a non-factor).

wtf Simmons or Jordan?

[noles1983]

pretty sure every team will have more points in the paint than GSW

[Uriel]

Can Dedmon score???

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Durant is quite the underrated defender.

Ah, my feed just took a shit.

Come on LMA. Get down in the paint and dominate

LMA with the buzz-kill

[RD2191]

Here comes the ref aided gs run.

[BD24]

Reggie, about Simmons, "primarily a defensive player..." :lol
I caught that to and chuckled.

Good foul there by Simmons.
