Spurs @ Wizards (17/82) (6 PM Central/12:00 GMT) Sponsored By TARP Games

[spursistan]

After two solid road wins against, IMO, the 3rd and 4th best Eastern teams playing at full strength, the Spurs face the struggling Wizards (5-9)-- on B2B after a close win in Orlando-- in what has all the makings of a trap game devolving into one of those typical shitty November losses happening on a buzzer beater or something.. a true Spur tradition..

Spurs have a couple of days rest after this one to play the same bottom-dwelling Magic at home on Tuesday, so I might give Manu a half of week rest here and play everyone else..

Let's go get it!

INJURY REPORT – Dewayne Dedmon (left knee sprain) is doubtful and Manu Ginobili (rest) is out for tonight’s Spurs-Wizards game.

As I expected :tu.. I would also rest Manu against Magic on Tuesday , but have him suit up for @ Dallas on 2nd night of B2B..Glad Dedmon looks healed and ready to play..our D really suffered meanwhile..

[spursistan]

Spurs really should make the most of this soft schedule juncture: @ Washington, vs Orlando, @ Dallas (b2b), vs Washington, @Milwaukee, @Wolves (b2b), @ Chicago , vs Nets..

Anything more than one L and less than a 20-4 record on the wake of it, would be disappointing..

[apalisoc_9]

Yeah...They need to go on a streak here to have a shot at 1 seed. Take advantage of the schedule. 34-7 for the first half of the season with the given schedule....

Pau is going to get destroyed w/ the Wall/Gortat PnR.:lol

Spurs started 46-10 in '10-'11, I won't be surprised if the current squad put up a fluky 34-7 record.:lol

[spursistan]

Pau is going to get destroyed w/ the Wall/Gortat PnR.:lol
Hopefully Dedman is walking to that court tonight :lol

nah, this team is better and has a higher (defensive) ceiling than 2010-11; IMO: Softridge manning up; Deadman getting more minutes; same with DG with his shot falling, Kawhi ratching it up to DPOY-level D..etc

[Kikoluna]

We are probably losing this one. We always lose @washington. Wall, Beal too athletic for us. Plus pop is probably playing 13 minute mile mr. Oh not a big deal I'm just checking in to the game Anderson

[jyra]

Could be another big night for the bench unit. The Wizards have the second worst scoring bench in the league.

[r0drig0lac]

easy win

[Robz4000]

Spurs have lost to Washington only a few times the past 20 years. Hell, other than the Dubs, they're the team Tim lost to the least. On top of that Washington is awful this year. Spurs should have no trouble finding a way to win this one.

Spurs never disappoint as far a vomiting few inexplicable losses each year..this wouldn't be even more shocking than taking an L to an 1-11 Pelican team last November..We're due one before December rolls :lol

The Pelicans owned the Spurs' souls the last few years due to having a team full of Spurs killers tbh. As for vomit-enducing losses, they already had one to Utah, and that three-game home losing streak was disgusting enough as well. Spurs have three days off after tonight so they have no excuses to lose this one.

Hopefully so..we need to put some separation (already up 3 games on MEM/HOU) for that top 3 seeding with this cakewalk schedule in the next 10 days in case of an injury to Kawhi-- you know he is going to take a week off for some weird shit per par

[TheDoctor]

The last time the Spurs had the League's best road record?

2014 :lobt2:

[DPG21920]

This should be an interesting game. WAS has not been as bad as their record, but they go through some mind-numbingly bad stretches.

But they have won 3 of their last 4 (against mediocre teams) but they don't seem really capable of blowing anyone out. Have to hope Wall doesn't have a random good 3PT shooting game.

[Ron Swanson]

:flag:

[spurtech09]

Looking forward to watch Bertans play.....

[loveforthegame]

Let's do this. :flag:

[Ron Swanson]

Pau with the rainbow

[Robz4000]

Getting sick of these slow starts...

[loveforthegame]

More of that LMA.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard. :tu

[Robz4000]

Kiwi

[r0drig0lac]

Kawhi and 1

[loveforthegame]

Leonard is filthy.

[Robz4000]

On paper this should be a good matchup for the Spurs since Washington's bench is mediocre, they have no one to guard Kawhi, and Beal/Porter should be nullified by Green/Kawhi, but the fact they can take and make long 2s at a high clip really makes things harder. Also doesn't help they move the ball well and the Spurs don't have a big that can reliably guard Morris.

[loveforthegame]

Dumb passes.

[Ron Swanson]

Take the layup

[Robz4000]

Wall is also really giving the Spurs fits on defense.

[spurtech09]

PATTY!!!!!!!!!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Good to see Mills hitting shots again. :tu

[Robz4000]

Mills having an instant impact

[bklynspursfan]

Patty with the Neal heat check

[Robz4000]

God damnit Simmons

[spurtech09]

Spurs need to learn how to rebound.

[TheGreatYacht]

Fat head coming in over Bertans :lmao

Poop has to be trolling now lmao

[bklynspursfan]

Offense has been a little rushed the last few possessions. LMA got a good look and just missed, but it's been off. Hopefully they regroup after this timeout

[Robz4000]

Stop with all the shitty post ups. Washington is big at every position so getting a mismatch isn't going to work.

[loveforthegame]

That block! Bertans. :tu

[bklynspursfan]

Helluva block there

[r0drig0lac]

wow Bertans

[Kawhitstorm]

Fat head coming in over Bertans :lmao

Poop has to be trolling now lmao

:pop:He played "too many minutes", my rookies need to rest.

[timtonymanu]

What a block by Davis

[Ron Swanson]

Davis with the nasty block

[Robz4000]

Bertans is filthy

[loveforthegame]

Lee just gets it done.

[r0drig0lac]

Lee slam

[bklynspursfan]

Lee with the slam

[timtonymanu]

Don't see how any Spurs fan can dislike what Lee is doing for our team

[SpursIndonesia]

Damn, AmaLEE with the dunk !

[spurs10]

Don't see how any Spurs fan can dislike what Lee is doing for our teamHear, hear!

[peacemaker885]

Don't see how any Spurs fan can dislike what Lee is doing for our team

[RD2191]

David Lee looks like Brandon Flowers.

[spurtech09]

Patty on fire!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Emperor]

G'day mate!

[Ron Swanson]

Simmons tried to make Sportscenter there.

[r0drig0lac]

nice ball movement

[RD2191]

:lmao pops face

[Robz4000]

Fuck Simmons, don't kill yourself

[FaM0us Skins]

Blocking foul

[Emperor]

Is this Euroleague? Not used to seeing all these white boys on the court.

[TheGreatYacht]

Gasol with back to back retarded plays

[Vokun]

:rollinMy nigga Juice try to put him on a poster

[timtonymanu]

Simmons to Fathead!

[r0drig0lac]

Kyle!!

[spurtech09]

Anderson makes a bucket......Good sign :)

[TheGreatYacht]

Kyle scoring the only way he knows how to.... open layups

[bklynspursfan]

Simmons has looked so much better lately. Really hope he can be more consistent going forward. He's had a nice stretch here of making smarter plays

[Emperor]

I really thought Kyle was gonna get blocked by the rim.

[Silver&Black]

Wiz commentator just called Fathead "Ryan" Anderson....

What an upgrade that would be.

[RD2191]

MVPORK

[bklynspursfan]

Hell yea TP

[r0drig0lac]

MVParker

[Ron Swanson]

HOTS :wow

[spurtech09]

Wow nice spin lay up by Tony Parker.

[313]

MVParker

[Emperor]

Dang Tony rolling to that basket like a Critter! Lol nice!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Parker 2012 flashback.

[Robz4000]

Parker's jumper looks shitty, but he's moving great out there.

[NASpurs]

:wow

[spurtech09]

Sloppy

[Darius Bieber]

Pau sucks...

[Ron Swanson]

Pau looks like ass tonight.

[Ice009]

Fucking Gasol was responsible for those last two turnovers.

[james evans]

I love watching Spurs games with the other teams' commentary. Yesterday watching the Celtics game and the commentators cry o very foul call was hilarious. They are crying tonight but there is a bit of complaining

[TheGreatYacht]

Head of the snake interrupting his one man 9pt run to give Kawhi a shot :cry

What a leader

[RD2191]

Is that Elnono?

[bklynspursfan]

Maybe the best defensive half thus far?

[Robz4000]

Gasol is giving Gortat fits on the defensive end tbh, just struggling when Wall doubles him up.

[Ron Swanson]

Is that Elnono?

:lol

[Vokun]

I fucking love Parker's effort this game.

[Kawhitstorm]

November Porker::wow

[Kawhitstorm]

Head of the snake interrupting his one man 9pt run to give Kawhi a shot :cry

What a leader

:cry

[SpursIndonesia]

Marcus Morris has been playing better than his Wizards twin brother, hasn't he ?

[spurtech09]

Spurs Defense much better.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I'm REALLY liking the Spurs interior defense tonight. First time I could say that since dedmon went down.

[RD2191]

WTF Kawhi

[ElNono]

Loving MVPau this game so far... dominating the boards

[RD2191]

:wow porker

[bklynspursfan]

Once Parker gets going in the paint, his shot starts to fall

[RD2191]

Fuck

[bklynspursfan]

Notice how Kawhi closes out on shooters but doesn't leave his feet like Green. I hope Green pays attention

[Robz4000]

Terrible offensive possessions allowing Washington to get out in transition.

[ElNono]

:pop: Tony you're playing too well tonight, have a seat, the Wizards need a run

[Amuseddaysleeper]

WOW DANNY GREEN!!!

[Ron Swanson]

LDN with the circus shot

[r0drig0lac]

Green!!!!

[Robz4000]

:lmao Verde

[loveforthegame]

Good grief. How'd Green make that. :lol

[spurtech09]

O my Danny with that ugly 3 lol

[Vokun]

Porter single handedly keeping them in the game.

[Ice009]

Terrible offensive possessions allowing Washington to get out in transition.

Yep, our piss poor offensive possessions has led to their offense.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Otto Porter is a damn good player.

[timtonymanu]

Wow Danny

[bklynspursfan]

Danny haha

[ElNono]

Is that Elnono?

Who, tbh missed it :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Otto Porter is a damn good player.

Wish he was our backup 3

[HarlemHeat37]

John Wall is such an atrocious halfcourt player, tbh:lol

[CGD]

Can the spurs leave Kyle in D.C. and take back Oubre please? Both clearly in the doghouse of their respective teams, and could benefit from a change of scenary.

[HarlemHeat37]

Wish he was our backup 3

He's easily their 2nd best player, tbh, he would never accept a backup role, especially seeing how much money his inferior teammate(Beal) just received:lol

[313]

Kawhobe kinda night without the entertaining dunks

[Robz4000]

Simmons!

[r0drig0lac]

Simms for three

[RD2191]

Who, tbh missed it :lol

Some Hispanic spurs fan they showed in the stands. :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Beal with the TP like up and under

[james evans]

even though we're winning this game by 13, it seems as though we're losing for some reason

[bklynspursfan]

He's easily their 2nd best player, tbh, he would never accept a backup role, especially seeing how much money his inferior teammate(Beal) just received:lol

Haha I know. Kind of a pipe dream.

[GSH]

LOL - LMA trying to post up Gortat. There has to be someone in the league that Aldridge can post up. That's gonna be a fun game.

[bklynspursfan]

even though we're winning this game by 13, it seems as though we're losing for some reason

I don't have that feeling tonight. We've given up some open looks but finally playing solid D

[RD2191]

What an underwhelming 12 or lead.

[ElNono]

Some Hispanic spurs fan they showed in the stands. :lol

I can confirm I'm not in DC tonight... probably a cousin :lol

[loveforthegame]

The hell was that Leonard. :td

[RD2191]

Chuck Leonard.

[Robz4000]

Awful end to the half

[spurtech09]

Awful end to the halfYeah

[DPG21920]

Great start to the game :tu. Came out focused and with energy. For some reason it feels like a deadweight has been cut loose but I cannot put my finger on it??

[Vokun]

Best defensive 1st half of the year

[TheGreatYacht]

Can the spurs leave Kyle in D.C. and take back Oubre please? Both clearly in the doghouse of their respective teams, and could benefit from a change of scenary.
Love Oubre's game

[RD2191]

I can confirm I'm not in DC tonight... probably a cousin :lol

:lol

[Kawhitstorm]

The hell was that Leonard. :td

The Manu 2-for-1 brick special::lol

[loveforthegame]

Leonard needs to attack. Too many 3 pointers. 5 of his 8 attempts are from there.

[timtonymanu]

Really can't complain about that first half though. Just hope Wizards aren't the better team in the 2nd half.

[spursistan]

Awful first half by Kawhi..should have been 20 point game ..

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Leonard needs more arc on his shot, he'll never get the friendly roll shooting line drives.

[TheGreatYacht]

Great start to the game :tu. Came out focused and with energy. For some reason it feels like a deadweight has been cut loose but I cannot put my finger on it??
The $14,000,000 bald spot

[timtonymanu]

Great start to the game :tu. Came out focused and with energy. For some reason it feels like a deadweight has been cut loose but I cannot put my finger on it??

Dead Man or Dead Manu?

[MultiTroll]

Does the VIDI link go off for halftime?

[Kawhitstorm]

Awful first half by Kawhi..should have been 20 point game ..

He was fine in the 1st quarter but Pau & him stunk it up in the 2nd quarter.

[Raven]

fairly questionable, how and why the wiz are so bad this year despite otto porter having a breakout season

[CGD]

Love Oubre's game


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N6-d1PU3IN0&feature=share

Me too,though he is still raw in my opinion (I live and D.C. and catch the occasional Wiz game). Aside from the fact that Porter is FINALLY showing signs of life, i get the impression Oubre has fallen out of favor with Brooks. It just seems like a good chance to swap misfits and get a look at another player with a different skill set.

[Kawhitstorm]

I can confirm I'm not in DC tonight... probably a cousin :lol

Beal's fallen off a cliff and they've downgraded their coach.

[sasaint]

Tuned in just in time to see Simmons nail a 3. I hope that wasn't his only highlight of the half. How's he been playing? Has Kyle been in the game?

[Raven]

Beal's fallen off a cliff and they've downgraded their coach.

sounds about right

[DPG21920]

Let's come out focused. Team has plenty to work on at this point of the season but effort is fully in their control.

[RD2191]

DG!,

[spurtech09]

Danny 3!!!!!!!!!!

[Ron Swanson]

:claw

[spurtech09]

KL with the SLAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Raven]

they look like a team with a crushed soul...

[timtonymanu]

Move the ball, Parker.

[ElNono]

Great start to the game :tu. Came out focused and with energy. For some reason it feels like a deadweight has been cut loose but I cannot put my finger on it??

The Spurs cut Jimmer a long time ago, tbh

[DPG21920]

The Spurs cut Jimmer a long time ago, tbh

Lol

[sasaint]

Beal's fallen off a cliff and they've downgraded their coach.

Beal is getting well against the Spurs.

[Kawhitstorm]

Female Ref::lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Beal is getting well against the Spurs.

He had a 42 point game last week.:wakeup

[timtonymanu]

Beal's fallen off a cliff and they've downgraded their coach.

This after they gave him an extension. Good grief, Wizards.

[loveforthegame]

Parker smooth tonight. :tu

[spurtech09]

TP having a solid night.....

[ElNono]

November Parker <3

[timtonymanu]

http://pbs.twimg.com/media/CyOyh9CWIAgrj8y.jpg

Is that Seth Macfarlane?

[sasaint]

He had a 42 point game last week.:wakeup

Doesn't sound like much of a cliff.

[RD2191]

WTF

[Ron Swanson]

Morris :lol

[spurtech09]

Morris cursing out someone?

[timtonymanu]

:lmao Kieff Morris

fucking cancer of a player

[r0drig0lac]

lmao this guy

[ElNono]

The Morris bros are the new Cousins

[Cry Havoc]

What did dude get tossed for?

[sasaint]

Started the half like they were going to put the pedal to the metal only to go back into neutral.

[Kawhitstorm]

Marcus Morris has been playing better than his Wizards twin brother, hasn't he ?

:lol

[spurtech09]

LMA hurt or something.....No effort at all....

[spursistan]

Putting Scott Brooks in charge of team full of cancers :lol

[DPG21920]

What did dude get tossed for?

Calling Mauer a p*ssy about 4 times.

[FaM0us Skins]

Good job KL

[spurtech09]

Parker bailing out the Spurs.

[spursistan]

Kawhi doesn't have it tonight..

[DPG21920]

TP stopping the runs with a wet jumper

[Cry Havoc]

TONY

[Robz4000]

Refs taking over

[loveforthegame]

Leonard has no arc. Been like that for a few games. Those line drives are ugly.

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi :wow

[Kawhitstorm]

Leonard has no arc. Been like that for a few games. Those line drives are ugly.

Probably has tired legs.

[r0drig0lac]

Kawhi is a monster

[loveforthegame]

Then he goes and throws up junk like that and makes it. WTF.

[DPG21920]

Man, they are working too hard for these points. Should not have to be that hard, but great effort from Kawhi.

[FaM0us Skins]

Parker!

[Robz4000]

The Morris bros are the new Cousins

Marcus has been fine since going to Detroit.

[FaM0us Skins]

I'm surprised Parker has more points than Wall

[spursistan]

Take it to the rack Kawhi! your shot isn't falling..see even the FTs are looking ugly AF

[DPG21920]

Man, look at the total disregard for Wall's shooting. Even when he's 15 feet from the basket no one is rushing to close out.

[Cry Havoc]

Patty in, I expect the other team to have a craving for strawberry milk.

[FaM0us Skins]

Kawhi makes the tough shot!

[spurtech09]

LMA for 3.....

[DPG21920]

Great job by Simmons. Didn't settle and his aggressivess, like TP, really opens things up (when it's working).

[Kawhitstorm]

Man, look at the total disregard for Wall's shooting. Even when he's 15 feet from the basket no one is rushing to close out.

I've been saying he's a more athletic version of PRIME Rondo.

[Kawhitstorm]

Is that Seth Macfarlane?

Ryan Kerrigan, he plays for the Redskins

[spurtech09]

Want to see one of those Bertans 3

[DPG21920]

Lee probably wants to kill Bertans for that TO in front of Pop :lol

[spurtech09]

getting sloppy again

[bklynspursfan]

Interesting pop went to Kawhi instead of Anderson to close this quarter

[r0drig0lac]

Mills!!!!

[loveforthegame]

Oop!!

[r0drig0lac]

showtime

[spurtech09]

Nice play from KL to Simmons....Sweet play....

[Cry Havoc]

KAWHI TO SIMMONSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS

[loveforthegame]

Interesting pop went to Kawhi instead of Anderson to close this quarter

I'd take Leonard on his worst night over KA on his best.

[DPG21920]

Great spurt to end the Q here - keep it up and finish them.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

FLYING J-SIMMS!

[DPG21920]

That looked pretty clean!

[bklynspursfan]

I'd take Leonard on his worst night over KA on his best.

Oh Yea no doubt.. pop just rarely goes against his rotations. Probably sensed the Wizards run

[timtonymanu]

Great. Here comes Fathead

[RD2191]

15-0 wiz run incoming

[Cry Havoc]

Leonard, such a pretty shot.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Kawhilights is a goddamn machine when he's on.

[Ron Swanson]

Nice D by Bertans

[DPG21920]

:lol Wall

[r0drig0lac]

smart play

[MultiTroll]

Was Parker pouting on the bench or just tired?

[DPG21920]

Great job - finish them early so we can get some rest.

[DPG21920]

Was Parker pouting on the bench or just tired?

lol wut

[Ron Swanson]

Wow Simmons

[Cry Havoc]

HOLY SHIT SIMMONS DEFENSIVE PLAY OF THE WEEK

[Cry Havoc]

Gasol to keep the block party going!

[LoneStarState'sPride]

FLYING J HOLY SHIT!

[james evans]

that's why I love Simmons. When he fucks up, he doesn't give up on the play

[loveforthegame]

Simmons is filthy with those chase down blocks.

[Kawhitstorm]

Simmons channeling his inner Turnobili:lmao

[LoneStarState'sPride]

that's why I love Simmons. When he fucks up, he doesn't give up on the play

This.

[Ron Swanson]

Block party

[r0drig0lac]

2 blocks by Lee

[DPG21920]

:lol Lee sh*tting on everyone

[loveforthegame]

Block party. :tu

[bklynspursfan]

Lee! Love the blocking . 2x... Great activity this quarter
