[BatManu20]

Durant is quite the underrated defender.

Yep. He was great defensively all pre-season too. He'll shine on that end this season

[Darius Bieber]

Simgod tbh

[Ron Swanson]

Fuck yo couch, GS

[808]

Oh my simms

[Chris]

Simmons GOING HAM!

[RD2191]

MVSIMMONS

[spurtech09]

Simmons for 3!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BD24]

Jon JOn doing work.

[BatManu20]

Holy shit Simmons haha

[8FOR!3]

There's actually motion and meaningful passing going on in this offense. Remember the last time we saw that?

[Spurs9]

Zaza scares our bigs :cry

[Uriel]

Simmons having the game of his life :wow

[MultiTroll]

TNT Stfu and announce the game.

[james evans]

now they starting that whistle bullshit

[DPG21920]

The SL offense is going to get those mid-range looks for Pau/LMA. It's what the offense seems designed to do. Getting plenty of space, have to bank of Pau/LMA doing their thing more often than not.

Offense is functioning well make or miss so far :tu

[313]

GIVE MY NIGGA SIMMONS A CONTRACT EXTENSION

[r0drig0lac]

OMG

[AZK619]

This Simmons guy can ball:toast

[noles1983]

simmons needs to start, fuck fathead. we have seen enough in this game already.

[Ron Swanson]

LMA looking like dogshit so far

[Chris]

wtf LMA cmon man

[spurtech09]

LMA playing like poop

[Spurs9]

Wouldnt mind trading LMA for Cousins if he wasnt so weak mentally.

[ElNono]

LMA with the buzz-kill

[AZK619]

simmons needs to start, fuck fathead. we have seen enough in this game already.

[313]

LMA some ass tonight

[Chris]

:claw

[timtonymanu]

smh LMA come on

[TheDoctor]

Da fuq Simmons drank today?

[RD2191]

FUCK YOU LMA. TRADE THIS BUM ASS SOFT JUMP SHOOTING BIG

[BatManu20]

There you go Kawhi. Get some easy ones from the charity stripe

[spurtech09]

KL make Durant work......

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Simmons outscoring Durant :lol

[808]

Great looks, and MUCH better than I was anticipating for a first game

[FaM0us Skins]

Lol

[bklynspursfan]

Simmons man... holy crap

[8FOR!3]

First game of the season, LMA misses some shots he normally hits, and people are already ready to trade him lol.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

FUCK YOU LMA. TRADE THIS BUM ASS SOFT JUMP SHOOTING BIG

Calm down, its game 1

[Leetonidas]

Damn I was just telling someone at work earlier that Simmons should've been waived for garino:lol

[siraulo23]

hopefully when simmons stop making shots, the starters can get their shit together :lol

[bklynspursfan]

First game of the season, LMA misses some shots he normally hits, and people are already ready to trade him lol.

It's what people do here. He'll get it going

[r0drig0lac]

Wouldnt mind trading LMA for Cousins if he wasnt so weak mentally.

Cousins >> LMA

[313]

LMA couldve thrown up an easy hook, settles for a turnaround jumper :lol

[Nathan89]

Wish LMA was playing like complete shit. He's right behind Parker when it comes to infuriating players.

[Marcus Bryant]

Pass that ball, David Lee.

[Chris]

Simmons must have been working on his shot all offseason

[Spurs9]

Da fuq Simmons drank today?

Offseason working trying to cash in with a contract, hes always had big potential

[mclinejr]

LMA will get going. Not worried.

But Simmons!!!!!

[wildbill2u]

Simmons making some really good effort plays on defense. Playing much better than we've seen before. Someone must have motivated him.

[Chinook]

I hope Simmons can keep this going when Green comes back. One of him or Anderson needs to be a consistent scorer. I honestly don't care which right now.

[kjhip1]

This lead and we are missing some easy bunnies

[siraulo23]

warriors missing a lot of open shots, but so far not too bad from the spurs :tu

[DPG21920]

I would like to see spacing a bit better to allow LMa to get closer to the basket. He was a little dicey with that TO in close proximity early and just missed a little fade away, but getting him in there will pay dividends.

But GS is crowding the paint like crazy (they have to, because they are small).

[ECOV]

Calm down, its game 1
lmao i know

[BatManu20]

Simmons has already tied his career high for pts in a half with 12 lol.

[bklynspursfan]

So the Lee/Dedmon pairing looked pretty good for a first game against these guys. Hopefully Manu can get that p&r going with him and toss up some DeAndre Jordan alley oops

[ElNono]

First game of the season, LMA misses some shots he normally hits, and people are already ready to trade him lol.

we have 81 games left to apologize, tbh

[TimDunkem]

How the fuck is LMA playing so bad? Isn't he supposed to be a top-tier mid-range shooter? :lol Even Aynus Thompson has hit at least one of his shots.

[DPG21920]

Pass that ball, David Lee.

Ya - I noticed it in pre-season too. Definitely a black hole which is not good considering he's a good passer. He can't be a black hole. Love the aggression but play basketball.

[Ron Swanson]

I hope LMA can get it going. He only has 81 games left after this one.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Dedmon has been good without the basketball, second unit looks nice.

[noles1983]

loving the quality depth we have, bring in David the shocker Bertans

[ElNono]

13pt lead when fathead and SL came back in

[GSH]

Is Kerr's jaw getting wider?

[Obstructed_View]

Found a Russian stream, so no more Reggie! WINNER

[tonight...you]

Kawhi!

:claw

[Chris]

:claw :claw :claw

[313]

Kiwi heating up

[BatManu20]

Why are the Warriors not posting up Livingston with Parker on him every time tbh.

[sasaint]

Simmons man... holy crap

Simmons is playing within the offense and within himself - not trying to force things. Not holding the ball or forcing drives, and making good passes. Maybe he feels like he belongs in his second year.

[Chris]

Is Kerr's jaw getting wider?

He's looking very reptilian these days imo

[ElNono]

dive for the ball LMA.... smh

[SAGirl]

Simmons having the game of his life :wowGood time too. Pop said the issue was mental after all, apparently Pop knows his stuff.

[Silver&Black]

I hope LMA can get it going. He only has 81 games left after this one.

No playoffs bruh?

[InRareForm]

Warriors don't look so scary

[r0drig0lac]

airball

[BatManu20]

Is Kerr's jaw getting wider?

He's on that Dwyane Wade "supplement" plan

HES ALWAYS BEEN TRASH. TRADE THIS FUKIN BUM.

[noles1983]

fucking LMA just watching ball go out of bounds

[Uriel]

Raymond. Wow.

[Chris]

Overall team energy looks great

[GSH]

Did you see Fathead freeze up when someone stepped in front of him? How the fuck was he ever supposed to be a point?

[Silver&Black]

Loving the careless/dumbass turnovers the Dubs are doing.

[spurraider21]

Operation Post-Up

[Ron Swanson]

No playoffs bruh?

:lol

[Spurs9]

No playoffs bruh?

I feel better already

[313]

Pau in the post > LMA in the post

[Obstructed_View]

Simmons is playing within the offense and within himself - not trying to force things. Not holding the ball or forcing drives, and making good passes. Maybe he feels like he belongs in his second year.

He seems to have used the meaningless games to see what he can and cannot get away with. Then he doesn't do any of the bad things now that he's in a real game. It's a good way to practice.

[DPG21920]

Dedmon is mobile which is a nice wrinkle compared to bigs last year :lol

[SAGirl]

green is going to injure someone here

[spurtech09]

Thought the Warriors would be blowing out the Spurs......I know its just one game but Spurs look good...could be better though...

[Chris]

Curry makes a 3 Pop takes a timeout :lol

[TheDoctor]

Parker playing some nice Dribble Dribble Dribble tonight

[r0drig0lac]

warriors looking lost out there

[sasaint]

Found a Russian stream, so no more Reggie! WINNER

Where are you? Can I get that in SA?

[Uriel]

If I could shoot like Steph......

[phxspurfan]

Ads in the middle of the game while shots are going up. So stupid

[noles1983]

lol curry and his bullshit shots, hate that pos

[Obstructed_View]

Where are you? Can I get that in SA?

Google Kodi and Sportsdevil

[r0drig0lac]

Pop gonna Pop

[ElNono]

it's your fault Pop... you're putting Porker on an island

[mclinejr]

Golden State has no bench now. I think that will be their biggest weakness the season.

[SAGirl]

Dedmon is mobile which is a nice wrinkle compared to bigs last year :lolAgreed defensively not easy to blow by him...

[ECOV]

lol at the Kevin Durant commercial

[spurraider21]

:lmao poop trolling steph

[tonight...you]

Pop coaching his ass off...

[Obstructed_View]

Ads in the middle of the game while shots are going up. So stupid

At least they aren't doing that fucking horrible shit that Orlando was doing where they show a replay of the last basket while the game is still going on.

[phxspurfan]

Dubs really miss Bugut's moving picks

[james evans]

there is only 1 ball and GS gutted their defense. Now will you silly mutha fuckas listen to me? I know basketball. I've played it for a few decades. I see guys go in the gym all the time and stack their teams with nothing but offensive players and then can't stop anyone.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Warriors will hit their 3's eventually, Spurs gotta hang tough and continue rebounding the ball.

Love all the FT's Spurs have been getting lately :tu

[siraulo23]

dive for the ball LMA.... smh

:lol

[phxspurfan]

Dubs will make a trade for a big

[DarrinS]

I love when GS falls in love with the 3. Led directly to Cavs chip.

[sasaint]

fucking LMA just watching ball go out of bounds

SMH!

[SAGirl]

Golden State has no bench now. I think that will be their biggest weakness the season. Very top heavy indeed and Dworst doesn't defend the paint or rebound. Durant was the one doing the rim protection blocking Lee and Dedmon. It will wear Durant out.

[SPURt]

Gaymond looks like straight trash in this game! I hope this offseason has broken his game!

[Nathan89]

Hoping Draymond's shot disappears this year.

[Obstructed_View]

lol curry and his bullshit shots, hate that pos

He has to hit those at an extraordinary rate for them to matter, which is why they rarely do.

[Chris]

LMAlpha

[Ron Swanson]

Finally!

[Silver&Black]

:lma

[GSH]

Now will you silly mutha fuckas listen to me? I know basketball. I've played it for a few decades..


Shit... you go all the way back to the original Xbox?

[r0drig0lac]

Golden State has no bench now. I think that will be their biggest weakness the season.

lose Bogut is your greatest loss ... Lebron can play Center full time vs. worriers and probably score 40 on them

[objective]

Another bad thing about Kyle is how bad he is in transition opportunities because he's so damn slow.

I swear there was an opportunity off a rebound in that last stretch where he had a step out but was too damn slow to make it a fast break opportunity. Simmons would have pushed his pace to open the chance up.

[timtonymanu]

Great aggression kawhi

[Chris]

Leonard finally getting some calls this season tbh

[Silver&Black]

Keep driving Kiwi. Love it.

[RD2191]

Kawhi playing like a vet.

[DPG21920]

Spurs are murdering them when they can get inside. Kawhi getting to the rack is awesome.

[Obstructed_View]

Gaymond looks like straight trash in this game! I hope this offseason has broken his game!

He still gets away with shoving on picks. He completely displaced Parker before that layup.

[Obstructed_View]

Spurs are murdering them when they can get inside. Kawhi getting to the rack is awesome.

That move to draw the contact and guarantee the whistle is great to see.

[AZK619]

KawhiGod:claw

[noles1983]

man i hope the spurs can keep this up and skull fuck these warriors

[Chris]

Nice block by MVPau

[ElNono]

lol Zaza

[313]

Warriors will hit their 3's eventually, Spurs gotta hang tough and continue rebounding the ball.

Love all the FT's Spurs have been getting lately :tu

[Silver&Black]

Spurefs???

[Nathan89]

Refs don't like Zaza like they do Bogut tbh

[Horse]

Does golden state have an offensive rebound yet?

[ElNono]

Spursrefs, tbh

[808]

Fuck zaza

[TheDoctor]

Kawhi Harden tbh

Love it

[Chris]

Draymond is deceptively fast

[RD2191]

Come on kawhi WTF

[spurtech09]

KL come on......

[BatManu20]

Alright fellas settle down.

[99 Problems]

Kiwi-Burning down cities. :claw

[Obstructed_View]

Wow, that was a crazy pass to nobody.

[RD2191]

Let's stop the run.

[noles1983]

I haven't kept up with the preseason, is verde hurt?

[Chris]

This lineup stinks

[spurtech09]

Bring back Patty Mills!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Obstructed_View]

Draymond is deceptively fast

Kawhi shouldn't have gone for that steal.

[RD2191]

Sigh. Here we go.

[BatManu20]

LMA

[Ron Swanson]

Holy shit, LMA

[Chris]

:lma

[Silver&Black]

:wow LMA

[GSH]

Pretty bad series by Kawhi. Missed that shot, gambled on getting a steal, wound up too late on the other end. Then threw it away next time down.

[DPG21920]

LMa should have passed that but damn :lol

[r0drig0lac]

Lamadirk Aldridge

[Obstructed_View]

Holy fuck, L Train.

[Nathan89]

Draymond fouling LMA big time

[BatManu20]

Kawhi!

[Chris]

:claw mein neger!

[DPG21920]

Great hustle Kawhi - hell ya!!

[808]

Lma doin lma stuff

[ElNono]

Raymond :lmao

[FaM0us Skins]

KL!

[RD2191]

Nice response.

[spurtech09]

I know Spurs are winning but Spurs should be up by more......

[Uriel]

Theory on why Spurs are outplaying Warriors: Spurs players played in the Olympics so they're already in game shape. Warriors players, not so much.

[mclinejr]

LMA just took a dump on all you naysayers.

[myhc]

Kawhi with the boneheaded play then comes right back with the effort play like a boss.

[SAGirl]

MVP Kiwi

[ace3g]

Kawhi just said gimme that!!!

[Spurs9]

:lol Todays superteams

[UnWantedTheory]

Sup with the weird ties?

[ElNono]

Bogut you da real MVP?

[Obstructed_View]

Pretty bad series by Kawhi. Missed that shot, gambled on getting a steal, wound up too late on the other end. Then threw it away next time down.

Yeah, he doesn't even need a reminder about doing that. The Warriors are good at making teams pay.

[spurtech09]

LMA KL Lee get going its going to be a major blowout...

[Nathan89]

Refs let Draymond get away with murder on post defense. It's absolutely disgusting.

[313]

Hope we keep this within 20 so Kawhi can stat pad on these pussies

[DarrinS]

Kawhi shitting on haters, per par

[siraulo23]

:cry

[SPURt]

He still gets away with shoving on picks. He completely displaced Parker before that layup.
If giving handies to the officials pregame is all he's good at I'll take it

[Obstructed_View]

Sup with the weird ties?

I think it's a Craig Sager thing.

[Chris]

:lol Todays superteams

[DPG21920]

That move to draw the contact and guarantee the whistle is great to see.

Plus with his hands and length and body control he almost always gets his shot off when fouled as well. He will have a lot of and-1s this year.

[tonight...you]

I know Spurs are winning but Spurs should be up by more......
tbh...

[99 Problems]

:claw

[RD2191]

Man, a win tonight would be awesome.

[Robz4000]

Theory on why Spurs are outplaying Warriors: Spurs players played in the Olympics so they're already in game shape. Warriors players, not so much.

Durbeta, Thompson, and Raymond all played Olympic ball tbh.

[gambit1990]

parker's defense :lol
anderson's defense :lol

[Chris]

Bogut you da real MVP?

Don't forget H.Barnes and his bullshit 3's

[Spur|n|Austin]

Sup with the weird ties?

Craig Saiger

[PopTheGOAT]

Ahhh SpursTalk...NBA season...I love it. BBall and nfl. Best time of the year imo

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:cry:cry:cry:cry yes!

[Silver&Black]

Sup with the weird ties?


I think it's a Craig Sager thing.

It is.

[siraulo23]

Pau needs to post durant next time

[kjhip1]

The energy level between both teams is obvious. The length is crazy for the Spurs,not allowing a crazy amount of offensive boards and the ability to put a hand up at the shooters. You have to run them off the 3-pt line

[SPURt]

Bogut you da real MVP?
Or is it Barnes?? HAHAHA! Nah... it's Bogut

[loveforthegame]

Guys are hustling. Sure they're making mistakes but the effort is there by all. :tu

dat illegal screens

[Darius Bieber]

Warrior flopping on point.

https://twitter.com/TheHoopCentral/status/791110491720544256

[GSH]

Dammit! If you're going to foul Curry, at least get your money's worth.

[DPG21920]

parker's defense :lol
anderson's defense :lol

:lol Garino's defense

[spurtech09]

Curry wasn't even touched?

[TimDunkem]

David Aldridge looks sad over there at the scorers table. Probably has a pre-written ejaculation piece for a Warriors win that he might have to chuck into the trash now. :lol

[Ron Swanson]

Don't let up, guys.

[313]

Bogut you da real MVP?
Of course, as soon as he went down in the finals I knew it was over. When they dealt him in the summer I tried to tell people they were going to miss him. They didn't need more offense in KD, they needed their defensive anchor.

Now of course GS will have times where they hit everything and they're still favorites, but they're a lot more beatable than people think.

[BatManu20]

Turnovers. Smh

[RD2191]

Oh come the fuck on.

[timtonymanu]

smh Enrique

[ElNono]

welp

[Robz4000]

Fuck Porker

[Uriel]

Goddamn, Steph :wow

[MultiTroll]

mmaybe take Parker out Coach Numby?

[noles1983]

curry has to do that chest pound every time he does anything

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Well, that was fun while it lasted.


Parker needs to be benched for the rest of this game, just brutal to see him out there.

[Darius Bieber]

That's game

[Killakobe81]

Wow, Steph ...

[RD2191]

Ref aided run per usual.

[spurtech09]

put patty in....

[dabom]

Porker sighting.

[Obstructed_View]

Curry has hit three three pointers, and Pop has called a timeout after each one, hasn't he?

[TheDoctor]

lol what foul?

[BatManu20]

Why are the Spurs not picking up Curry in transition way earlier like they don't know that he pulls up from 3 all the time on fast breaks

[Ice009]

Parker is fucking shit man. Fucking shit.

[bklynspursfan]

Pop is really dialed in early... Sloppy play, I don't think TP was expecting that handoff from Pau. Just a chemistry thing they'll work out. Pau should've went to work in the post

[Spur|n|Austin]

Reggie: "With the Dagger!"

Um do you even basketball dude?

[313]

"dagger to cut the lead to ten"

??? :lol

[davidbowie]

welp that was fun while it lasted

[james evans]

gasol if fucking horrible this game.

[FkLA]

Enrique needs to gtfo. Such a worthless POS tbh.

[jiggy_55]

Curry wasn't even touched?

Seriously there was no contact

[RD2191]

That's that. It's over.

[Ditty]

That looked more on Gasol than Parker but yeah Parker is playing like shit.

[noles1983]

call me old school, i just don't have a ton of respect for 3 pt chuckers like steph

[gambit1990]

tony parker :lol

[Uriel]

Calm down everybody, Warriors are still winning this game :lol

[Ice009]

You think D'Antoni would give us Patrick Beverly? I'd just like a defensive PG. Parker has fallen so far.

[ElNono]

this is what KD signed up for!

[Perry Mason]

Draymond getting away with too much. LMA getting the jitters out, and one thing I really like: they aren't afraid of Draymond anymore. LMA pissed off is exactly what we want.

Kawhi still has some things to clean up, but the kid is a superstar in the making. So exciting to watch what he can do on both sides of the ball - he really intimidates and frustrates people. And he is still so young!

Oh and fuck Curry. They need to foul that guy.

[Cry Havoc]

"THE DAGGER. TO CUT THE LEAD TO 10!"


FUCK REGGIE MILLER.
