*** Official Game 3/82: Spurs vs Pelicans Game Thread ***

[spursistan]

Home Opener vs the 0-2 Pelicans-- first in 20 years without The Franchise: Timothy Theodore Duncan :cry.

But Tim apparently stayed up to watch the Kings game and clown Sean in his text message. I wonder if he shows up in the arena tonight..

(https://twitter.com/spurs) now (https://twitter.com/spurs/status/792469391711449089) INJURY REPORT - Manu Ginobili & Tony Parker (rest) and Danny Green (left quad strain​) are out for tonight's Spurs-Pelicans game.

[ace3g]

Dejoun might get some minutes tonight

[jyra]

Laprovittola to start and Bertans instead of Manu with Simmons handling the ball for the bench would be my guess.

[Mugen]

Does NBATV work on League Pass during the free preview week?

[gambit1990]

happy parker is out. too bad manu is though.

This is great news for those that want to see more players get some burn.

[bklynspursfan]

With a game tomorrow, makes sense the old heads are resting. Hopefully the young guys aren't rested

[raybies]

This is great news for those that want to see more players get some burn.

Yup I'm now instantly more excited about this game. I actually think Patty will start since he closes games with the starters and then let Nico and Murray split time for back up. With...

Actually I have no ideas what pop will do. :(

[TheGreatYacht]

Glad the bench gets to flourish tonight. Sucks LaPussy will probably start though

[SupremeGuy]

Parker missing this game for "rest" after being completely useless for the first 2 games while getting bitched at by Pop multiple times makes me wonder if Pop is sending him a message.

I'm starting to think Tony needs his own unit like Manu, and maybe if Manu weren't here he would lead the bench. Patty firs in much better with the starters. May be the missing ingredient tbh. Imagine Tony vs bench players. He could get by based off experience alone. I don't we are at this point but I think it's one of those things where he stays long enough to become the villain.

Woot rookie night in the first home game. .... I love you Pop!!!!

Just being humorous: I know you all will miss me but I will have to DVR this game and watch it tomorrow.

Pretty confident it's a win though!!!

Rest in the home opener, WTF!
...C'mon!

:lol

[Dex]

Resting the remaining two of the Big 3 in the home opener is surprising, really.

At the same time...maybe Pop really is ready to embrace the new era.

[TD 21]

An insane move and he deserves for it to blow up in his face. If he wanted to do this tomorrow, I still wouldn't like it (one, fine; but their rest games should typically be staggered), but I'd get it. The home opener, against a bottom feeder, is not the time for this. They need to make sure they win the games they should, especially with how important the 1 seed will be.

[Uriel]

Pop's decision makes sense, IMO. They have a game tomorrow night in Miami with an early tipoff (6 AM). Obviously, today's game against the Pelicans is much more winnable. So better to save Parker and Ginobili for tomorrow, when they'll be more needed against the Heat.

But the Heat no longer have Bosh and Wade, wouldn't tonight's game be harder? Still easy either way, though.

3 games into the season? Pop really needs to think about retirement.

[SAGirl]

Change of plans staying at home with hubby and going to watch the game, but we will make it family game time so I will be off the forums. Enjoy.
By the way, Patty starting:
792492521217662976

[maverick1948]

Main objective is to keep T Frazier from having a big night. He is having a good start with NO. 10 assists 21 points against GSW and 15 pts and 11 assists against Denver. He is doing it all as a point guard. He has been the only other pelican who has played well.

I see this as PoP saying 'this is the new era with KL & the new additions or the end of the big 3'
Since there's no TD tonight for the 1st time in xx yrs, makes a lot of sense to not see MG + TP, regardless of tomorrow's game

Leonard has definitely been studying Hardens foul game. He has the garden arm bar pull going well.

[Kawhitstorm]

Gasol for 3? :lol

He shoots 'em like Dirk in FIBA

[Chris]

Kyle looks lost on defense

[TheGreatYacht]

Still running Zone :lol

didnt work last year, still doesn't work

[timtonymanu]

[ElNono]

great ball movement... good defense... hope they starters keep it up

[SpurPadre]

WTF would LMA be mad at this situation, tbh? Fucking espn...

[Chris]

Doubt having our Center and Power Forward chuck 3's was in the gameplan, but it's working :lol

[gambit1990]

eight minutes in and kawhi has more assists than parker had against the kings.

[Kawhitstorm]

But the Heat no longer have Bosh and Wade, wouldn't tonight's game be harder? Still easy either way, though.

If you watched the pre-season game against the Spurs you would have noticed the Heat are pretty competitive w/o Bosh/Wade.

[SpurPadre]

Feels weird having bigs that can make 3s in the regular season and in the playoffs.

[RD2191]

Refs are trash.

Kawhi 2 steals so far. Hopefully he gets more than 5 today

That shit was going in.

[gambit1990]

i think the ball was going in but it looked out of the cylinder when simmons dunked it. could be wrong.

[resistanze]

Fathead tbh

[spurtech09]

Rather have bertans out there than Anderson...

[TimDunkem]

Anderson just isn't very good.

[Dro210]

That was goaltending on Ajinca first, before Simmons. Can't come up thru the net and hit the rim. SICK dunk tho JSimms

[TheGreatYacht]

Can't make layups :lmao

[TimDunkem]

He could've dunked it too. Lmao Fathead

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Pulling the chair made up for that missed layup lmao

[spurtech09]

Fun watching the young core of the Spurs play....

[Mnky]

So this pg rotation seems alright.

[james evans]

I love THIS 2nd unit, but Anderson is too fucking tall to be missing layups.

[james evans]

The Pelicans are trash this year. They're horrible. We're basically giving them all open jump shots this game

[SpurPadre]

Fuck Anderson sucks.

[Kawhitstorm]

Bullshit. That midget's shot was going out. Simmons putback should've counted

ehVmxFyztwo

Bertans makes that wide open three tbh.

Yep it had little to do with AD. He misses those all of the time.

[raybies]

Patty is ready to start.

[cd98]

Missed all the preseason games. I've never seen that Argentine PG but after 4 min, I'm sold. Best PG on the roster. Absolute steal.

[100%duncan]

Patty is ready to start.

Nah would just mess up the rotation. As long as he gets more minutes than Parker we're fine.

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurs should absolutely start contract year Paddy.

Shouldnt tie him up to a contract though.... :lol

No, Aldridge is hot, they just keep feeding the hot hand. No egos involved. He's only taken 5 shots. I know you've seen that, but hey, you're a parker fan so I can't even expect you to tell the truth

[SpurPadre]

I hate this lazy narrative that the Spurs get players that are scrubs on other teams and make them better solely because of the system. True, Pop and the staff maximizes players' talents but they were good to begin with. Take Barkley the other day. He said Mills bounced around several teams before he found a role with the Spurs. No one corrected him that he was only on one other team and he was in his early 20s when he left. It would just be nice for the players to get some credit other than just Pop and the system.

[SpurPadre]

It does, no doubt but there are people like Durant who think Kawhi is only a product of the system. I'm sure he can care less but it's still annoying.

True, Pop and the staff maximizes players' talents but they were good to begin with. Take Barkley the other day. He said Mills bounced around several teams before he found a role with the Spurs. No one corrected him that he was only on one other team and he was in his early 20s when he left. It would just be nice for the players to get some credit other than just Pop and the system.
yeah i remember that the other night and I'm thinking, "that's bullshit". These guys are paid to KNOW and talk about sports and they don't shit
