Spurs @ Magic 7:30 Central 11/29/2016 brought to you by Maruchan Ramen Noodles

[SAGirl]

Pop playing Manu?

[SpurSwag]

One of those games where you burn the game tape tbh no one could hit anything and our offense just looked really out of sync. Just move on and take care of Dallas tomorrow.

[ElNono]

The way he played tonight, he'll sit to pee.

:lol

[james evans]

Teh problem with tonight, as with all season, is that we settle for switching on the pick. Mills and Parker don't even attempt to fight thru the pick or go over it. I understand with GS you can't do that, but these guys aren't GS.

[cd98]

lol I'm still watching this garbage game.

[DPG21920]

Manu playing late... probably gonna sit tomorrow?

:lol Needs more rest already?

[GSH]

Just like the Mavs almost out-worked them. It's not all on Pop because a veteran team like this has no business playing down to an inferior team's level after having been told not to just recently.



No, you're right about that. They should be self-motivated. But if that's not part of the coach's job, then you almost don't need a coach.

[Kawhitstorm]

:lmao

[ElNono]

:lol Needs more rest already?

back to back, makes sense

[james evans]

and Ginobli turns the ball over

Thats the new thing in the NBA...switch on everything.

[SpurPadre]

Well, at least the Cavs and the Rockets lost and hopefully the Nets can hold off the Clips late in OT. We should've gained ground on these fuckers. Such a frustrating loss.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

At least the Clippers lost as well, blowing an 18 point lead.

[Ice009]

So much for the "perfect system" , using the players to their strengths :lol

Overrated coach carried by Duncan his whole career. This offense is pure trash.

This game actually reminds me of a '96/'97 game as far as score itself goes. The only difference is this team has more way more talent, but the defense of that '96/'97 was superior.

[SAGirl]

Manu there to set the example for the kids methinks.
Enjoy moments like this... much flak as Manu gets I think when he retires we will want him back.

I am still at Tim grief moment.

[DarrinS]

L

[SAGirl]

Murray I liked that .. show heart.

[Ron Swanson]

Now we hit a 3. :lol

[FaM0us Skins]

We'll blow out the Mavs tommorrow. Clips will lose to the Nets tonight in OT

[Ice009]

At least the Clippers lost as well, blowing an 18 point lead.

Is that Clippers game over? I'm still seeing time left in the 2nd OT.

[SpurPadre]

Please come back, Timmy. If it's only 8-10 minutes a game...is that too much to ask from his knees?

[DarrinS]

Tim -- greatest Spur ever. Damn, miss that dude. :depressed

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Is that Clippers game over? I'm still seeing time left in the 2nd OT.

It's over, Brooklyn missed 4 free throws in a row and Clipps hit a 3 at the end of the first OT :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Turnobili stat padding :wakeup

[SpurPadre]

What a weird team this is, tbh.

[timtonymanu]

Please come back, Timmy. If it's only 8-10 minutes a game...is that too much to ask from his knees?

Just.. no. I love Timmy as much as any Spurs fan, but the team has to get past the "Timmy shock" mentality. A 41 year old shouldn't have to be the saving grace for a team that wants to contend for a title. I wish we had 2011 Manu/2013 Parker out there, tbh.

[spurs10]

Quick game grades- P for pathetic. Pop probably won't say how much they sucked tonight- it would be redundant. :wow

[GSH]

Adam Silver scheduled the Spurs waay too many home games. The while thing is rigged, TBH.

[Arcadian]

:lol From the greatest home record of all time, to being bad at home...
:lol How the fuck?

[Darius Bieber]

Probably gonna lose by 20+ to the Mavs tomorrow

[loveforthegame]

Maybe they should wear their road uniforms the rest of the year.

[SPURt]

That was awful to watch. The fans were the real losers tonight.

[Splits]

Turnobili stat padding :wakeup

He's only effective against scrubs. lol 5 of his 13 in garbage time

[SAGirl]

Respect for Manu TBH.
:worthy:

One of the things I admire the most and like to observe in sports believe it or not is interaction and the team dynamics... what Manu just did.. it meant a lot to the team and those young guys. I am getting emotional...

Just a meaningless RS game but he was there with the kids... don't mind me.

[GSH]

:lol From the greatest home record of all time, to being bad at home...
:lol How the fuck?


Spurs are going to have the greatest road record of all time this year, and freak everybody out. It's called versatility. :lol

[daslicer]

Adam Silver scheduled the Spurs waay too many home games. The while thing is rigged, TBH.

Donald Trump is that you?

[Kawhitstorm]

Hopefully, Porker isn't going to play tomorrow otherwise it's going to be a B2B loss to another bottom-feeder

[GSH]

Donald Trump is that you?


Heh. That's funny. But you know what happens when you make a political reference. This is going to be an 80-page game thread before you know it.

[DarrinS]

Donald Trump is that you?

You have poor sarcasm detection skills.

[SpurPadre]

Quick game grades- P for pathetic. Pop probably won't say how much they sucked tonight- it would be redundant. :wow

And his verbal beatdowns seem to have little effect on the current make-up of the team, anyways. He could bring back the "They played like dogs" blast and it still wouldn't get through to this team.

[SpurPadre]

Just.. no. I love Timmy as much as any Spurs fan, but the team has to get past the "Timmy shock" mentality. A 41 year old shouldn't have to be the saving grace for a team that wants to contend for a title. I wish we had 2011 Manu/2013 Parker out there, tbh.

We're only talking about 8-10 minutes a game, though, which would make a HUGE impact on the leadership and tenacity of this team, IMO.

[daslicer]

You have poor sarcasm detection skills.

You pretty much summed yourself up in that quote. I knew he was being sarcastic. I was replying with sarcasm in return.

[bigfan]

every team lays a steamer occasionally; let this be ours

[playbonner15]

LMAO Spurs going for the suckiest home record and the best road record this time

[Emperor]

I guess the 2nd,3rd, and 4th best team in the NBA didn't really give a sh*t tonight?

[Spurs9]

Didnt watch the game but just saw score. Lakers lost too, sad night :cry

[SAGirl]

Last season with Tim.. this team went 40-1 at home and only lost one game to a historically great team that was on a tear in the RS breaking a winning record.

This season all 4 losses at home, now with a healthy team and none of the losses save maybe the Clippers (which was a beatdown) were against exceedingly special teams.

[Spurs9]

Clippers lost to nets tonight too, it doesnt really matter Spurs arent going to catch or beat goldenstate. This entire season is mostly pointless, you already knew who would be in the finals.

[pgardn]

Cavs to Bucks as well.

We layed an egg.

[SpurPadre]

every team lays a steamer occasionally; let this be ours

We laid a steamer against the Clips and then the Mavs not too long ago...except we somehow got away with that, much to Pop's chagrin.

[SpurPadre]

Didnt watch the game but just saw score. Lakers lost too, sad night :cry

You're being sarcastic about the Lakers, right?

[BatManu20]

Did we really lose to the fucking Magic at home tbh :lol

[Spur|n|Austin]

That was awful to watch. The fans were the real losers tonight.

AT&T Center is an absolute joke. We get better support in Washington!

[houston spurs fan]

Okay, time for TD to come out of retirement already. Stop playing around.

[spursistan]

lol Proof you do not only care about the younglings :lol

[TimDunkem]

lol Get over it, people. You can't smash every team every game every single season. The Spurs will end up with a great record and probably flame out before the Conference Finals. So what? Just appreciate that your team at least has a winning record.

[SAGirl]

lol Proof you do not only care about the younglings :lolI care about them, but I have huge respect for what Manu did there. It reminded me of Tim closing out game 6 until the end.

Obviously
completely different scenario and situation, but it was emotional for me to see that. I thought it was a leadership thing for Manu. He was there bc he wanted to be.

I don't know if you are being sarcastic? It's hard to discern sarcasm at times. I tend to be very naive at times.

Good grief, now we got women coming in here and putting extreme emotion into this! What the hell has happened to this site! I feel like TD has left us and ST as we knew it has as well...Fuck Karl Malone damn it!!

No, just a ribbing.. because you said one time you are most into watching young players develop as your favorite basketball fan experience..But, yeah, learning from the veterans is crucial part of the process..

:lol chillax dude. I don't have to bother you with my emotional rumblings... enjoy the Manu retirement tour is what you should be doing... lol
I have been around being emotional for a while too. lol :toast

:toast It was nice to see... maybe I attach too much meaning to those things. If Manu didn't care about them he wouldn't have been there, that is what I thought. :tu He was setting an example.

[Hoops Czar]

Spurs aren't even a fringe contender. They're basically the 2014 Mavs. :lol

[houston spurs fan]

Sorry, I have TD withdrawals. I'm not even watching the fucking games anymore after shelling out thousands of dollars annually a year to go to games plus league pass forever. I just dropped $2K on a pair for Dec. 6th. Any we've got fucking Pau Gasol on our team. Manu retiring, TP gettin shat on Due to simply getting old. How did Tiny Archibald do when he was 35? Jesus!

[SouthTexasRancher]

One thing for sure is this Spurs team could be a fairly good D League team and may even contend for a D League championship.
Also this Spurs team could be a damn good team in an Old Timers and Their Grandchildren League.
But, for sure this Spurs team would be one hell of a good Summer League team.

This group is a bad mix.....Period!!! It is like watching the Keystone Cops while listening to Abbott and Costello's Who's On First. And Pop needs to quit worrying about politics and start coaching. Hire some mean ass motivator who can put a fire in the players belly and a blow torch to their wimpy, lazy and sometime worthless ass's. RC needs to start sending out feelers so hopefully we can trade off about 14 of the guys. Keep Kawhi and tank the next 3 seasons and hope we have Tim Duncan and David Robinson lottery type luck. And during this time figure out the best young coach and pay him the right amount of money with incentives to excel. In the meantime us fans can sit back and watch the Dallas Cowboys kick ass and win 3 straight Super Bowls. Of course Jerry Jones will watch all of them from the old folk's home. tic

Yes, life is still good but, it can go to hell in a hand basket in a hurry if these guys don't get their act together.

Jesus!I got you :tu Almost every thread I am participating in I end up posting a picture of TD blocking a shot. It's clear he's the missing ingredient between a 40-1 record at home and something like 2-4 right now (I am not sure exactly)?

I have grown to dislike Pau's rim protection, it's just so inadequate.

[Fireball]

I just watched this shit on a train ... had to be careful not to curse through the whole game. What a clusterfuck. Dedmon back did not help one bit. Parker and Green totally off ... sad game.

[Spurtacular]

Way behind in my Spurs game viewing (Half way through the 11/30 Mavs game now and then have the December games and two or three early November games to watch). The Spurs really sucked in this game. Magic only had to show up.

[spursistan]

This loss was bad but it isn't as shitty as it looked, in retrospect...Magic are the 3rd best defensive team in the league and they are starting to turn it around..they have won 3 in 4 and just beat a hot Pistons team who are 7-2 at home..

[Robz4000]

The night after this game the Magic lost to a Grizz team missing Mike Conley, ZBo, Tony Allen, and a few other rotation players. It was a bad loss.

I'll take back this one..This the shittiest loss of the year by far..what a clusterfuck of game...:lol

[dabom]

So your wrong about one of those posts. :lol

[Robz4000]

:lol God damn this game fucking sucked. At least they've cleaned it up at home since then, but a lot of he same problems still remain.

[Spurtacular]

I was questioning whether the Spurs would make another conference finals again after this game.
