*** Official Game 2/82: Spurs @ Kings Game Thread ***

[jehawk81]

TP finally entered the boxscore with that steal...

Head of the snake stepping up exactly when we need him to tbh

[spurraider21]

:lol Pop grilling TP from the sideline
:rollin

[bklynspursfan]

Affalo heat check lol

[Silver&Black]

Only took Parker 41 minutes to enter the scoring column.

[Obstructed_View]

WOO Tony!

[313]

Head of the snake taking over when needed most :tu

[FaM0us Skins]

2 pts for Parker

[Ron Swanson]

Oh great. Fathead is back in.

[RD2191]

We're losing this

[spurtech09]

Noooo Anderson////

[Obstructed_View]

Only took Parker 41 minutes to enter the scoring column.

It's the 2014 finals all over again!

[TheDoctor]

Damn so sad to watch this Tony Parker version when he used to shred defenses on the break

[Silver&Black]

Dribble Dribble Dribble...

[sasaint]

Now the deadly Kyle/Tony combo!

[RD2191]

DUNK THAT SHIT LMA. FUCK. YOU FUCKING PUSSY.

[ElNono]

gotta survive these mins...

[spurtech09]

Patty Mills Plz

[Silver&Black]

It's the 2014 finals all over again!

As long as it ends the same way....

I'm all for it.

[sasaint]

LMA misses another bunny.

[RD2191]

:lmao

[Obstructed_View]

Damn so sad to watch this Tony Parker version when he used to shred defenses on the break

Parker just made a nice feed to LMA but it took him SO MUCH EFFORT to do it. You can really see how much he's struggling. Definitely not right.

[Silver&Black]

We're losing this

We know rob. You hate your life.

[HI-FI]

Parker is the GOAT at passing as the shot clock winds down.

[FaM0us Skins]

Lol

[sasaint]

Patty Mills Plz

Patty will finish.

[Chris]

:lma

[RD2191]

Can this game just end already. fuck.

[ElNono]

spurrefs from that angle, tbh

[DAF86]

There you go LA. Stay agressive.

[bklynspursfan]

Notice Aldridge doesn't throw himself on the floor and run in the paint like a maniac like Cousins does. He gets the benefit of the doubt so much cause he's out of control

[Robz4000]

Just a 2 point lead. They're gonna review that LMA put back and take it off.

[RD2191]

We know rob. You hate your life.
:wakeup

[sasaint]

Parker is the GOAT at passing as the shot clock winds down.

:tu :lmao

[313]

LMA in postseason form

[Nathan89]

Matt Barnes looks like that crazy girl from American Horror Story tbh

[jermaine]

I hate to say it, but Dedmon needs to play beside LMA, not Paul!!!

[RD2191]

Just a 2 point lead. They're gonna review that LMA put back and take it off.
Tbh

[cutewizard]

Pls win

[bklynspursfan]

LMA did get bumped after the swipe by Cousons fwiw lol

[Darius Bieber]

Kings look more energized this late in the game even though they played in Phoenix last night.

[ElNono]

wouldn't hurt if MVParker shows up in the next 5 mins...

[cutewizard]

Defense

[PopTheGOAT]

Parker just made a nice feed to LMA but it took him SO MUCH EFFORT to do it. You can really see how much he's struggling. Definitely not right.
If by not right you mean old asf, yeah

[Obstructed_View]

Just a 2 point lead. They're gonna review that LMA put back and take it off.

They can't review it unless they call the goaltend.

[cutewizard]

Win it Spuuuuurrrss

[timtonymanu]

Dedmon closing over Pau :tu

[Kawhitstorm]

looks like Pau got pinkslipped

He's getting the Diaw 1.0 treatment.:pop:

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Holy fuck at this crowd... wtf is this, 2016 or 2002? :wow

[siraulo23]

DUNK THAT SHIT LMA. FUCK. YOU FUCKING PUSSY.

:lol

[bklynspursfan]

Just a 2 point lead. They're gonna review that LMA put back and take it off.

You sure they're able to review that?

[RD2191]

So when does pau ask for a trade tbh?

[Robz4000]

They can't review it unless they call the goaltend.

Forgot about det

[rastaspur]

I would look the other way if tony started taking ped's. It couldnt hurt. I will throw in $100 of my money towards the first cycle.

[TheDoctor]

can't wait for kawhi to get subbed in this quarter
Not a Playoff game yet

[cutewizard]

:claw

90 to 84

[Obstructed_View]

If by not right you mean old asf, yeah

Age is a factor, but there's something physically wrong with him. He lost all of his explosion almost overnight.

[siraulo23]

spurrefs from that angle, tbh

Spurs have gotten more than a couple of breaks from the refs

[Silver&Black]

They can't review it unless they call the goaltend.

Didn't we get fucked by that call not too long ago?

Thunder series maybe?

[RD2191]

Cousins is throwing his body like a fucking mad man and he's getting calls.

[cutewizard]

Short rotation hmmmm

[Kawhitstorm]

So when does pau ask for a trade tbh?

Pretty sure PATFO can trade him for Bosh.:toast

[Obstructed_View]

Aldridge has to grab that board.

[Eggeye]

where's Gasoft?

[Ron Swanson]

:lma

[Silver&Black]

:lma

[Chris]

LMAlpha

[bklynspursfan]

Aldridge man... He looks confident now

[Obstructed_View]

Didn't we get fucked by that call not too long ago?

Thunder series maybe?

The Spurs ALWAYS get fucked by goaltending calls against the Thunder.

[ElNono]

give it to Kawhi

[Chris]

nice rebound KA

[Obstructed_View]

LMA manufacturing runs when they need it.

[bklynspursfan]

How the hell isn't Kawhi at the line man. Wtf

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Has Kawhi ever fouled out in his career?

[Ron Swanson]

5 on Kawhi.

[Robz4000]

Kawhi getting no respect now

[RD2191]

Cocksucking refs

[Kawhitstorm]

Cot Damn Softridge, Dedman gets the stop & he can't even grab an uncontested rebound.:bang

[ElNono]

at least he didn't get a T

[Silver&Black]

Kawhi almost got T'd up.

[bklynspursfan]

Foul man. BS

[Amuseddaysleeper]

where's Gasoft?

On a bus back to Chicago

[ElNono]

ball don't lie

[Ditty]

I don't know if I'm late to the part, but Dedmon looks like he can pull off being David Robinson's son :lol

[RD2191]

Since when does the dpoy foul 5 times in a game? fix is obviously in.

[Silver&Black]

The Spurs ALWAYS get fucked by goaltending calls against the Thunder.

Tru dat.

[cutewizard]

You can do it super Sssssppppppuuuuuurrrrssssssss

[bklynspursfan]

Come on Patty

[Obstructed_View]

Since when does the dpoy foul 5 times in a game? fix is obviously in.

One was intentional, and one was a frustration foul. Not sure what to tell you.

[From Downtown]

Kiwi with 5 fouls

[bklynspursfan]

LMA or Kawhi please

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I don't complain about that non call... glad no superstar treatment, tbh

[Silver&Black]

Don't even gamble Kawhi. You can't foul out.

[cutewizard]

Rebound

[Obstructed_View]

Wow. Kawhi never whiffs on the ball like that.

[313]

Since when does the dpoy foul 5 times in a game? fix is obviously in.
Kawhi needs to take over regardlss

[Chris]

Gay flop

[bklynspursfan]

Pop outsmarting the psycho

[ElNono]

ugh Pop... just leave Mills in there

[FaM0us Skins]

This game is a bloodbath

[kaji157]

Why Manu is not back in?

[cutewizard]

Coudins foul

[DMC]

Looks like Simmons' luggage finally showed up, and in it his D-league jersey.

[bklynspursfan]

Patty is out cause that shot he took probably. A bit out of control

[Proxy]

I get switching Pau and TP for Dedmon and Patty... but why is Manu not out there instead of Kyle.

[sasaint]

ugh Pop... just leave Mills in there

Yep. Pop... Smh.

[Chris]

Dedmon beasting the boards!



:claw:claw:claw

[cutewizard]

[Eggeye]

FT shootout

[spurtech09]

Dedmon is a rebounding machine.....

[cutewizard]

:claw
Yes

[kaji157]

The announcers: "If the kings play like this they are going to win a nnumber of games"

more like "If the kings get 40 FT a game they are going to win a number of games"

[FaM0us Skins]

KL!

[bklynspursfan]

Dedmon is great. To think the Warriors wanted him... He'd be starting for them

[Silver&Black]

Best decision Parker made all night. Didn't take the 3...drove to the FT line...dished it off to our best player.

More of that please.

[PopTheGOAT]

Game. In the end, our 2 stars showed up.

[cutewizard]

Yiiiiiiiihhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaasa

[spurraider21]

kawhi only 1-8 from three so far this season. when that starts falling... :wow

[Arcadian]

It's nice having an elite offensive rebounder! Can't remember the last time the Spurs had one of those.

[GSH]

:lol Sean.

"Kawhi has the ultimate green light... It's ultraviolet."

[Ron Swanson]

Dedmon is a rebounding machine.....

He has been a beast out there tonight.

[Obstructed_View]

I get switching Pau and TP for Dedmon and Patty... but why is Manu not out there instead of Kyle.

Kyle is a better defender and a better rebounder. He's also 16 years younger, and it's game fucking two of the season. If this were the conference finals, I'd agree with you.

[ElNono]

Best decision Parker made all night. Didn't take the 3...drove to the FT line...dished it off to our best player.

More of that please.

yup... give it to Kawhi and gtfo

[RD2191]

The announcers: "If the kings play like this they are going to win a nnumber of games"

more like "If the kings get 40 FT a game they are going to win a number of games"

[HarlemHeat37]

Gay/Afflalo is one of the most cancerous perimeter duos I've ever seen in an NBA starting lineup, tbh..

[sasaint]

Dedmon is a rebounding machine.....

Somehow he is a ball magnet when it comes to rebounds. He is getting better and better!

[From Downtown]

Now don't choke pls

[cutewizard]

Dedm9n with six rebounds

[Chris]

It's nice having an elite offensive rebounder! Can't remember the last time the Spurs had one of those.

Malik Rose

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Kawheeeeeeeee!

[RD2191]

Still plenty of time left. let's not choke this.

[siraulo23]

Aldridge showed up in the 4th to negate his bad showing :tu

[ElNono]

I get switching Pau and TP for Dedmon and Patty... but why is Manu not out there instead of Kyle.

Kyle is not hurting us so far... no problem with that

[cutewizard]

We got tbis

:claw:bobo

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi speaks? Must be an easter egg in his last firmware upgrade

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Malik Rose
unfortunately Rose was also undersized meaning he got pwned on the defensive glass often too

[kaji157]

I really think the inside pairing should be Aldridge-Dedmon/Lee, and Gasol-Deadmon/Lee.

Both Gasol-Aldridge seem a bit redundant on offense, and Lee-Deadmon seem a bit disbalanced.

[FaM0us Skins]

By the looks of it Dedmon has been getting Pau's minutes this 2nd half. Deservedly so. The man is a hound on the boards

[jiggy_55]

Dedmon showing so much potential! What a game he's having

[313]

Wonder if Manu is hurt, which would explain Anderson being in so long

[RD2191]

Kawhi

[Chris]

MVP Leonard doing MVP things

[Ron Swanson]

:claw g

[TheDoctor]

Kawhi w/ b2b 5 steals games plus leading the offense. Such a monster.

[spurs10]

It's nice having an elite offensive rebounder! Can't remember the last time the Spurs had one of those. Hell yes!

[DAF86]

NBA tv just cut the game to broadcast an old "The Starters" episode. Fuck everthing.

[ElNono]

great D by dedmon... he's gonna be important if he can defend like that

[GSH]

Dedmon is SO much better than Pau defending Cousins. That was a man's rebound there.

[Silver&Black]

Kawhi speaks? Must be an easter egg in his last firmware upgrade

He was telling Gay how some ST members think that you always outplay me every time we meet up...

[spurtech09]

Dedmon over Pau Gasol....

[ElNono]

NBA tv just cut the game to broadcast an old "The Starters" episode. Fuck everthing.

reddit nba streams, tbh

[cd98]

Game ball to Dedman.

[TheDoctor]

Kawhi Jordan

[jermaine]

Cuz can't bully Dedmon

[Chris]

unfortunately Rose was also undersized meaning he got pwned on the defensive glass often too

true but he was all heart

[Silver&Black]

Spurs can put this one in the back pocket...

[siraulo23]

hell ya dedmon!!!

[cutewizard]

A hundred points

Wòoooooooooooooooooooooooo

[313]

Kawhi http://www.kanyetothe.com/forum/Smileys/default/rejoice.png

[Mugen]

Damn great game from Daedmon tbh

[ElNono]

theres the fucking hero.... give it to KAWHI

[Ron Swanson]

Dedmon over Pau Gasol....

Should be a no brainer.

[timtonymanu]

Cousins bending over for Dedmon like he use to with Timmy

[Obstructed_View]

By the looks of it Dedmon has been getting Pau's minutes this 2nd half. Deservedly so. The man is a hound on the boards

I mentioned this when we were talking about Dedmon starting over Gasol. We knew Pau would care about starting and that Pop would make sure the right players finish.

[Captivus]

Kawhi is really getting to another level...wow...

[Chris]

MVP Leonard doing MVP things

[cutewizard]

Shit parker missed

[sasaint]

Wonder if Manu is hurt, which would explain Anderson being in so long

Manu took a shot to the kidneys in the first half - no call.

Dedmon: NO NO NO! (finger wag)

[TheGreatYacht]

God damn Kiwi

[spurtech09]

KL and Dedmon player of the game.......

[Obstructed_View]

Cousins just hit Parker in the face.

[Kawhitstorm]

Gay/Afflalo is one of the most cancerous perimeter duos I've ever seen in an NBA starting lineup, tbh..

Swaggy/Lou Williams last season::lol

[GSH]

Dedmon finishes with 5 blocks! That will get him playing time.

[cutewizard]

We win

[spurs10]

Dedmon...Kawhi!

[313]

OMG KAWHI

[siraulo23]

kawhi, demon :tu

W

[Robz4000]

Kawhi and Dedmon really stepped up there tbh.

[Pound the rock]

Spurs Win!

[From Downtown]

OH YES

[Kawhitstorm]

Porker:depressed

[Silver&Black]

2-0 with both wins on the road. Spurs win by 8. 102-94.

http://s11.postimg.org/a1ps2r8mr/boxscore_queens_4.png

[bklynspursfan]

37 2nd half points for the kings.

[BillMc]

Victory!:flag:

[Arcadian]

Ok yeah, this team is gonna be a contender. I hope this Dedmon guy isn't just having a fluke, because right now he looks like a starting center on a championship team.

[jermaine]

That's why Simmons will never be good as Kawhi! Run the clock out!

[TheGreatYacht]

Cousins hates shaking hands with opponents. Has respect for Kiwi tho

[Spurs9]

Man our team is so stacked wow

[FaM0us Skins]

Spurs Win!!

[TheDoctor]

Damn Pop still need to tell Enrique to give the ball to the Boss?

Fucking selfish prick

[ninjaskrzypek]

Kawhi is really getting SCARY good. He just doesn't stop getting better. And man was Deadman walking impressive. Wait until this team really gels.

[DAF86]

I mentioned this when we were talking about Dedmon starting over Gasol. We knew Pau would care about starting and that Pop would make sure the right players finish.

Tbh Tony and Anderson finished this game. :lol

[BackHome]

Man Lee and Deadmon played a great game!!!!

[PopTheGOAT]

In years past I wondered if there would ever be a point where Kawhi was the best player in the league... it could be and overreaction to the first two games, but I think my question might be answered this season. Yes.

[sasaint]

Dedmon finishes with 5 blocks! That will get him playing time.

Pop will keep his promise (?) to Pau and let him start, but Deadman will be the closer.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Win! Leonard 30 again... MVP

[siraulo23]

:lol 2nd best decision Parker made all night

:lol

[bklynspursfan]

He was telling Gay how some ST members think that you always outplay me every time we meet up...

Ha.. no wonder Gay had nothing to say

[Kawhitstorm]

Dedmon...Kawhi!

Imagine a Dedmon/Millsap/Kawhi frontline, that would be the best defensive frontline in the league...by far.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Nice win. Obviously Leonard was a beast, but David Lee and Dedmon played pretty damn good.

[cd98]

Spurs haven't had an athletic big in a while. It's weird to see.

[Chris]

Win! Leonard 30 again... MVP

:toast

[sasaint]

Damn Pop still need to tell Enrique to give the ball to the Boss?

Fucking selfish prick

Apparently always will... Smh!

[Kawhitstorm]

Pop will keep his promise (?) to Pau and let him start, but Deadman will be the closer.

Well, he's also keeping his promise to Porker to start until his contract runs out.:pop:

[Spurtacular]

:lmao Parker not wanting to give Kawhi the ball in the last minute.

[Captivus]

The +- stat speaks for itself

[Hoops Czar]

Phew! 82-0 still alive.

[GSH]

Kawhi is the team MVP, but the Spurs lose this game without Dedmon.

[spurtech09]

Sac always give Spurs a run for there money......

[Nathan89]

Dedmon already earned the starting spot over Pau.

[Spurtacular]

Kawhi is the team MVP, but the Spurs lose this game without Dedmon.

That's what the Kings announcers said. I wasn't watching the game closely enough to agree or disagree.

[kaji157]

And we survived, what a great game from Kawhi, even when he seemed to be playing at 80%.

It´s great to see that Deadmon can play this well, Patty can still shoot, and Manu can still control the flow of a game and be incredibly efficient on the court, even at his age.

Even Tony seemed to finally fall into place and had a nice stint in the 4th. And so did Aldridge.

[Pound the rock]

Whew, was looking like a trap game for a bit

[RD2191]

Glad I never gave up. bunch of cliff jumpers in here. smh

[313]

Dedmon finishes with 5 blocks! That will get him playing time.
:tu

Still think he's best coming off the bench with Lee, but if he eats into a lot of Pau's minutes no complaints here

[sasaint]

Well, he's also keeping his promise to Porker to start until his contract runs out.:pop:

Smh! I was surprised to see him finish!

[Horse]

Great win but shouldn't have been close there is no scenario in existence where this kings team should shoot 36 fts. Crooked fucks trying to open the building with a win

[Kawhitstorm]

kawhi only 1-8 from three so far this season. when that starts falling... :wow

He's usually a slow starter, he picks up his play in the second half of the season so his percentage should at least be in the high 30s by seasons end.

[Chinook]

:tu

Still think he's best coming off the bench with Lee, but if he eats into a lot of Pau's minutes no complaints here

In the very least, it should push Pau to up his game. Dude can defend better than this. Just coasting.

[Obstructed_View]

Tbh Tony and Anderson finished this game. :lol

And TBH Tony and Anderson did their part to finish this game.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Dedmon already earned the starting spot over Pau.

I actually like Dedmon's energy off the bench instead, I just wish Gasol would get his head outta his ass.

[apalisoc_9]

I haven;t see SAGIRL post in a while...I wonder why..

[TheDoctor]

Dedmon already earned the starting spot over Pau.

No man, Dedmon is our frontcourt Manu. Still will play lots of minutes.

[Kawhitstorm]

In the very least, it should push Pau to up his game. Dude can defend better than this. Just coasting.

The play where he turned his back when Cousins drove instead of taking a charge was Diaw 1.0 status.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Ok yeah, this team is gonna be a contender. I hope this Dedmon guy isn't just having a fluke, because right now he looks like a starting center on a championship team.

2003 Admiral?

[Obstructed_View]

Great win but shouldn't have been close there is no scenario in existence where this kings team should shoot 36 fts. Crooked fucks trying to open the building with a win

Not sure what game you were watching, but Cousins beasted and the Spurs were out of position, playing bad defense for most of the game. The Spurs got as many gifts as Sacramento did from the refs.

[GSH]

That's what the Kings announcers said. I wasn't watching the game closely enough to agree or disagree.


Cousins was just having his way with everyone else. Gasol was a damned matador against him. Dedmon made him miss some, forced him to pass some, and fought his ass off for rebounds. And he played with a lot of energy - it seemed like every time you looked, there was Dedmon. Nobody else on the team was going to be able to slow down Cousins, that much was obvious.

[Pound the rock]

Great win but shouldn't have been close there is no scenario in existence where this kings team should shoot 36 fts. Crooked fucks trying to open the building with a win

Could have sworn I heard a whistle before they even fouled Cousins

[sasaint]

And TBH Tony and Anderson did their part to finish this game.

Actually, Kyle quietly led the team in boards. Not sure what Tony really did.

[TheDoctor]

Glad I never gave up. bunch of cliff jumpers in here. smh
:lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Dedmon already earned the starting spot over Pau.

Dedmon is going to finish games just like Taj Gibson used to close game over Boozer.

[Chinook]

I haven;t see SAGIRL post in a while...I wonder why..

According to you, she's probably at the pharmacy.

[dabom]

I haven;t see SAGIRL post in a while...I wonder why..

Player fan. :lol

[Obstructed_View]

2003 Admiral?

Pump the brakes, junior. 2005 Nazr Mohammed is more apt.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

That's what the Kings announcers said. I wasn't watching the game closely enough to agree or disagree.

He's the best interior defender to go along with our 2 elite perimeter defenders (one on IR for now). Now we have to find a PG who is a defender.

[Mugen]

Pau will get better (offensively at least). Not sure what Pop was thinking when he decided to have him guard arguably the most skilled bigman in the league in Boogie tbh.

[sasaint]

The play where he turned his back when Cousins drove instead of taking a charge was Diaw 1.0 status.

:lol

[Clipper Nation]

Not sure what Tony really did.

He continued to breathe and exist, which is enough for his stans to declare him "MVParker" and "the leader of the snake."

[DAF86]

And TBH Tony and Anderson did their part to finish this game.

Meh, they just stood there trying not to bother too much. Props for that I guess. :lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Pump the brakes, junior. 2005 Nazr Mohammed is more apt.

Pretty good comparison... Dedmon seems to be more athletic than Nazr, though...

[Obstructed_View]

Actually, Kyle quietly led the team in boards. Not sure what Tony really did.

Some of those rebounds were pretty legit, but Parker's play in the 4th was far better than anything else he did in the game. Not great, but solid, and his effort on defense went way up. As I said earlier, there's clearly something wrong with him physically.

[DarrinS]

Damn, Cousins is a nightmare matchup.

[Nathan89]

Green, Kawhi, LMA, and Dedmon is going to be a nice defensive 4-some.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

According to you, she's probably at the pharmacy.

Apali can't afford the $34.98 it costs to buy a Plan B from Walmart.

[DMX7]

Pretty good comparison... Dedmon seems to be more athletic than Nazr, though...

Way more athletic and physical.

[sasaint]

Some of those rebounds were pretty legit, but Parker's play in the 4th was far better than anything else he did in the game. Not great, but solid, and his effort on defense went way up. As I said earlier, there's clearly something wrong with him physically.

Damning with faint praise. Parker was pitching a perfect game until the 9 minute mark. Anything he did was going to be an improvement. :lol
