Wizards @ SPURS - 12/2 7:30 CT 3:30 AM Riga time 10:30 PM Bahía Blanca

[TheGreatYacht]

Give Manu an A

[GSH]

You've gotta love Manu when he's right.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

He's already made 2 FT's this game... what do you want from him?

To hit two more....all jokes aside he's actually been pretty good this game.

[DarrinS]

I hear seagull lady :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

As bad as Pau has been in stretches at least he's putting some effort into this game, the same can't be said about LMA

It's either Softridge gets paired w/ a defensive minded center who won't take shots from him or gets traded for a starting point guard/backup big. It's pointless to have Pau & Softidge if they aren't being maxed out on the offensive end.

[GSH]

To hit two more....all jokes aside he's actually been pretty good this game.

He has. And if he wasn't 2-8 from the line, he'd be damned good this game.

[99 Problems]

Manu looks like he's 21

[TheGreatYacht]

Finishing? They're not in their seats because they're getting seconds. :lol

[spurtech09]

Why no foul?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Where the hell is Dedmon???

[timtonymanu]

Same script as Magic game..team just can't put together a susutained run to wrest control of the game..they will probably get demorlized by couple of Wizards threes and it will be ballgame ..

This. Any chance at momentum, and we get a fluke basket from the Wiz or a fuck up by the Spurs.

[spurtech09]

Lee finally gets a call.

[$pursDynasty]

Dang Pau forcing it to Lee led to 2 quick turnovers

[kuato]

I hear seagull lady :lol

http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/unanything/images/b/b3/Yoda_Funny.jpg

[timtonymanu]

The Smith layup shouldn't have counted and it was flukey as fuck for going in too.

[spursistan]

Can't sustain any fuckin momentum even against shitty teams..this team is such pretending bunch..Why the Pop is fuckin with Dedmon after last game?

[DeRozan m8]

Why the fuck isn't Dedmon on?

Fuck Pop

We'll win it all with Dedmon firing tbh

[Ron Swanson]

Where the hell is Dedmon???

He's in there now.

[DeRozan m8]

Okay I spoke too soon

[timtonymanu]

smh fucking up every chance

[timtonymanu]

Dedmon couldn't get a loose ball. It's the little plays like that that have fucked up this team all night.

[TheGreatYacht]

Dedmon has to guard his guy and Paddy's smh

[Ron Swanson]

MVPatty

[timtonymanu]

MVPatty

[sasaint]

He's in there now.

Just to finish the quarter I bet.

[timtonymanu]

Manu and Patty have been the best players tonight.

[G-Dawgg]

Gin & Juice (Ginobili and Simmons)

[spursistan]

Manu on pace for his best game of the season...Takes us home :cry.

[spurtech09]

time to blowout this team...stop playing around...

[TheGreatYacht]

Gin & Juice (Ginobili and Simmons)
Like that more than Gino Head tbh

[Ron Swanson]

Patty getting that board over Gortat. :wow

[spurtech09]

That's more like it....

[From Downtown]

Lee my fella

[timtonymanu]

Nice little run. Needed this.

[bklynspursfan]

Great ending to this half. Was hoping Manu had another buzzer beater lol.

Manu looks terrific. It's amazing what a little rest do for he and TP

[Robz4000]

If they could hit their fucking freebies this would be a double digit lead.

[timtonymanu]

Wonder if they review Jason's Smith layup. It shouldn't have counted.

[FkLA]

The walruses of SA have returned to their seats after their hour long feeding session, tbh.

[99 Problems]

MvPatyy over Gortat.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs can still give away this game. Just need 12 good minutes. Today makes sense to play Manu over LDN

[timtonymanu]

Smith's bucket didn't count! 80-74 now

[Ron Swanson]

Lee +1

[From Downtown]

DLEE

[TheGreatYacht]

The walruses of SA have returned to their seats after their hour long feeding session, tbh.

[spurtech09]

Spurs finally playing spur basketball......

[bklynspursfan]

Man was Lee a steal.

[timtonymanu]

David Lee was such an awesome pickup.

[FaM0us Skins]

Lee!

[Ron Swanson]

Free throws :depressed

[spursistan]

Amazing fuckin play..Beautiful Game flashback..

[spurtech09]

Got to settle down though lol

[spursistan]

Pop killing momentum by pulling Manu per fuckin par :lmao

[99 Problems]

Lee and Patty actually have some chemistry.

[timtonymanu]

Pop killing momentum by pulling Manu per fuckin par :lmao

And playing Gasol/Aldridge together again

[spurtech09]

Spurs ball

[Ron Swanson]

That better be a clear path foul.

[spurtech09]

Lee and Patty actually have some chemistry.YES

[FaM0us Skins]

Clear path

[palangi]

We got the Green that misses open shots tonight

Yeah but he is an out of this world defender. Nobody scores on him. .....:rolleyes

[GB20]

The crowd is coming together now.

[Ron Swanson]

That was some nice ball movement.

[spurtech09]

The Spurs have something here.....

[bklynspursfan]

Simmons man.. could be such an x factor for us. If he can start hitting that 3 too, just icing on the cake

[spurtech09]

That was some nice ball movement.YES

[TheGreatYacht]

People used to think Fat Head was a better defender than Juice :lol

[timtonymanu]

Nice move by Nico

[GSH]

Simmons should have taken that first shot, but that was a beautiful defensive play to make up for it.

[bklynspursfan]

Pop killing momentum by pulling Manu per fuckin par :lmao

Probably cause he wants to close the game with him? It's pretty obvious man. He put Lapro in too so Patty can close the game.

Or did you genuinely expect Manu to play all 12 mins in the 4th?

[spurtech09]

That lay up was smooth...

[spursistan]

Simmons has improved his D and overall intangibles..really need to get back his shot..that was Danny Greenesque transition defense..

[spurtech09]

Better d

[TheGreatYacht]

Bench Green

[sasaint]

The Wiz have 18 TOs and trail by only 5. Smh.

[Robz4000]

Crowd's gotten into it now. Pop needs to put Kawhi and Manu back in now and get this shit done.

[GSH]

Man, Pop was pissed. Which player was he pissed at?

[Robz4000]

The Wiz have 18 TOs and trail by only 5. Smh.

Missed freethrows killing the Spurs tonight

[spursistan]

Pop is such a moron for hating to ride the hot hand to blow open games....enjoy your nailbaiter fucker..

[palangi]

Bench Green

You can't bench the spurstalk defensive wizard.

[Kawhitstorm]

Has Faggy Green done anything positive tonight?:wakeup

[99 Problems]

Scottie Brooks looks like a 1970s movie director. Maybe they making a movie tonight.

[Ron Swanson]

So much for that 10 point lead.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs in the bonus, attack the rim fellas!

[Kawhitstorm]

Man, Pop was pissed. Which player was he pissed at?

Obviously, Danny.:wakeup

[bklynspursfan]

Pop is such a moron for hating to ride the hot hand to blow open games....enjoy your nailbaiter fucker..

Blame the missed fts.... expecting an older Manu to play heavy mins in a December game, is going to leave you disappointed

[TheGreatYacht]

They're finally calling Gortat's billion moving screens

[sasaint]

Missed freethrows killing the Spurs tonight

Like the Spurs of old. FTs have been a real strength this season.

[From Downtown]

Kawhi takin us home

[timtonymanu]

Finally Gortat getting called on those screens

[bklynspursfan]

Like the Spurs of old. FTs have been a real strength this season.

Yea, if they have an off game, it is what it is. For the majority of the year, they should be a top FT shooting team, which is a bit of a luxury

[Ron Swanson]

:claw

[GSH]

Obviously, Danny.:wakeup


He wasn't looking at Danny. Looked like he was going after someone else. Should've been Danny, for sure.

[spurtech09]

KL needs to shoot that 3

[timtonymanu]

Sometimes Leonard just passes up the easier shot for a tougher one

[From Downtown]

We can't close this out

[Ron Swanson]

10 missed FTs are killing us.

[spurtech09]

LOL Gortat really

[Robz4000]

:lmao what the fuck am I watching?!

[spursistan]

Sometimes Leonard just passes up the easier shot for a tougher one
It is been a real issue for him this season and has contributed to his declined efficiency..

[spurtech09]

Time for Patty to bail the Spurs out.

[FaM0us Skins]

Let's go

[timtonymanu]

MVPatty

[spurtech09]

This game should be a blowout

[Kawhitstorm]

Quit posting up Gortat if you're going to throw up a soft fadeaway.:wakeup

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs were in the bonus with 7 minutes left, yet the Wizards are the only ones attacking the rim and getting FT's.


Good lord.

[spurtech09]

Ouch KL with the bads...

[Robz4000]

Spurs deserve a loss. This is pathetic on both ends.

[Ron Swanson]

Timmy, quit doing Gunn commercials and come back.

[spurtech09]

Spurs look good than look bad.....

[timtonymanu]

Sean is a lot more vocal and frustrated during the broadcast. Can't blame him at all when so many players on the Spurs are inconsistent.

[TheGreatYacht]

Should've brought in Dedmon over Lee... They're attacking the rim at will

[spursistan]

Horrible Kawhobe shot..

[sasaint]

It's like the Spurs don't even have a scouting report or know Washington's personnel. Those hard close-outs on Wall beyond the arc... Smh!

[Ron Swanson]

Damn, Kawhi. That was bad.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

WTF are the Spurs doing here!?

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi man.... smh

[GSH]

Dammit Kawhi.

[loveforthegame]

I don't even know what to say.

[spurtech09]

These refs...Terrible

[Ron Swanson]

Lee :wow

[Kawhitstorm]

Should've brought in Dedmon over Lee... They're attacking the rim at will

They are running the Gortat/Wall PnR every time down the floor, might want to sag & dare Wall to shoot.

[GSH]

David Lee with the badass follow dunk!!!

[loveforthegame]

Lee!!

[bklynspursfan]

I hear screaming spurs lady from 2013

Good stuff Lee

[spurtech09]

:(

[Ron Swanson]

Huge rebound, LMA

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs look completely discombobulated.


At least if they miss here they can still foul and be only down 3.

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi keeping his head down. He's been frustrating thus far, as great as he played early on this season.

He forces it way too much, and isn't looking to get other guys shots enough

[timtonymanu]

These refs should kill themselves. That Morris push on Kawhi was momentum changing

[FaM0us Skins]

Dammit

[TheGreatYacht]

Pop timeout play......

..... incoming Manu ISO fade away tbh :lol

[From Downtown]

So basically Manu was our best player all game and didn't get to touch the ball in the last 4 minutes

[spursparker9]

Kawhi is definitely out of MVP race.

Will be either Westbrook, Harden, Lebron or KD

[99 Problems]

Millsy assist to Lee

[siraulo23]

This team :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Kawhi posting up Gortat:lmao

[timtonymanu]

Really don't feel good about this possession because we have shit luck at home. Here comes home loss #5. Should have made your free throws, Paussy.

[GSH]

The fact that the Spurs have to make a last minute shot against the Wiz is inexcusable.

[cjw]

Patty totally lost Beal out there on his go ahead three. Been great offensively but Parker doesn't lose his guy there or let him get off three.

[Ron Swanson]

Green!

[bklynspursfan]

Beautiful stuff! Get em Danny

[Robz4000]

Verde!!!!!

[GSH]

Danny did shit all game, but that was a huge shot!

[loveforthegame]

Green finally!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

GREEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNN

Fantastic play coming out of the TO.

[FaM0us Skins]

Green!

[SpursIndonesia]

LDN !!

[From Downtown]

V3RD33333333333333333333333333333333333

That was a GREAT play

[TheGreatYacht]

Belinelli flashbacks :wow

[spurtech09]

Danny

[Leetonidas]

LDN :wow

[bklynspursfan]

Really don't feel good about this possession because we have shit luck at home. Here comes home loss #5. Should have made your free throws, Paussy.

Nice reverse jynx

[timtonymanu]

Finally LDN

[spursistan]

LDN!

[daledondale]

Finally verde!!

[SASdynasty!]

Green bailing out Patty per par

[siraulo23]

Greeenn les gooo :lol

[spurtech09]

Time to play some defense now.....Right NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

Nice reverse jynx

It's gotta work sometime :lol

[GSH]

Now we'll see if they can play some damned defense.

[Silver&Black]

LONG DICK NIGGA!!!!!!!!

[gambit1990]

great play.

[NameLess Scrub]

Bradley Beal must love the Spurs as he gets open 3s in crunch time.

[spurtech09]

No 3

[timtonymanu]

Don't allow 3's now

[GSH]

Yeah, how about not letting Beal shoot a 3?

[Kawhitstorm]

Fuck Bradley "No Neck" Beal

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Fuck, zero rim resistance. Almost gave up an And 1, hopefully Spurs can get something here.

[spurtech09]

TIED

[bklynspursfan]

Not a 3, good stuff. Let's get a game winner now.

And please Kawhi, if you have the ball, don't Force it.

[Ron Swanson]

We're ok here. Just don't turn it over and don't leave any time left after the shot.

[timtonymanu]

Sigh the days when Duncan was under the rim blocking shots

[SASdynasty!]

Activate Parker for this last shot, tbh

[spurtech09]

No overtime

[From Downtown]

Why was Patty on Wall for a start

[Silver&Black]

INB4 the MVPatty game winner

[siraulo23]

Kawhi game winner cmon

[loveforthegame]

Heartburn. This team.

[bklynspursfan]

Lma ftw

[Amuseddaysleeper]

THE CLAW!!!

[Arcadian]

Leave no time

[Ron Swanson]

:claw

But they have a lot of time.

[loveforthegame]

Leonard!!

[bklynspursfan]

What the hell Kawhi. Why shoot so early?

[spurtech09]

Still time left though.....

[TheGreatYacht]

Pop doesn't want overtime smh

[SASdynasty!]

Kiwi shooting early tbh, nice shot though

[From Downtown]

YES KIWI

[Robz4000]

Way too much time left

[Silver&Black]

I'm glad he made it, but I wish he wouldn't have shot it so early.

(I'll take it though. Not complaining at at all)

[FaM0us Skins]

Big shot by Kawhi!

[timtonymanu]

Fuck me, too much time for one more flukey Wizards basket

[myhc]

No doubt in my mind they go for 3

[Budkin]

Nice

[bklynspursfan]

Don't like this.... now we have to play defense again

[siraulo23]

Kawhi, but wtf why so quickly

[GSH]

No doubt in my mind they go for 3


On the road they do.

[daledondale]

This shit never ends

[sasaint]

We're ok here. Just don't turn it over and don't leave any time left after the shot.

Maybe 1 out of 2 will work.

[loveforthegame]

Woo boy. :tu

[spurtech09]

Close

[FaM0us Skins]

Huh?

[bklynspursfan]

Wow, he pulled a Timmy in game 7 shot. He had a great look, we got lucky

[Ron Swanson]

I'll take it.

[GSH]

LMAO. Squeaked out a win at home over the freaking Wizards.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck off Wiz. Y'all don't need a win you aren't going to need when you hit the lottery in May.

[daledondale]

:bobo:flag:

[siraulo23]

a W at home, ty

[SASdynasty!]

Lol LMA

[Budkin]

Christ

[Raven]

a win is a win but we're playing like shit on both ends as a standard.

[bklynspursfan]

Lma missed the wrong one lmao....

One day our point differential will go up!

[Silver&Black]

Gonna need another drink after this one....

[Robz4000]

:lol what a shitty win, but I'll take it :toast

[GSH]

Don't know if that was an immoral victory, or a moral loss.

Clutch shooting down the stretch, that's what I like to see.

And Harden only has 2.

[timtonymanu]

a win is a win but we're playing like shit on both ends as a standard.

I mean it helps we're beating the lottery teams, but this kind of undisciplined play against the contenders is gonna expose this team even more. Very flawed 16-4 team out there.

[SAGirl]

Yeah, but putting him back in to defend Bradley Beal at the end? And Oubrey on the last play? Spurs got lucky on that last shot.

Spurs beat the Rockets on their homecourt w/ Kawhi shutting down Ryan Anderson, What's Your Point?:wakeup

[Kawhitstorm]

Danny bailed himself out after an absolutely shitty night, Softridge would have shot an airball under similar circumstances.

Yeah, but putting him back in to defend Bradley Beal at the end? And Oubrey on the last play? Spurs got lucky on that last shot.
He was playing well... so Pop milked that.
/sigh...
I am pessimistic somewhat I don't want to infect anyone. It's the holidays and I want to be jolly.

[SpurPadre]

Missed tonight's game, dammit. Is it a case of the team playing down to the competition or would we get curbstomped against the Dubs if we played them tonight instead?

[timtonymanu]

Typical lackluster home game effort, also doesn't help they missed so many free throws. Manu, Patty, Kawhi, LMA down the stretch was enough to get the win today.

Thanks man. Why did Dedmon only log 8 minutes? He didn't reinjure himself did he? He was a net positive.

[timtonymanu]

Thanks man. Why did Dedmon only log 8 minutes? He didn't reinjure himself did he? He was a net positive.

Forgot to mention Lee was good in the minutes he played. Got the Spurs some huge momentum plays. Dedmon picked up 2 quick fouls and never checked back in. Probably a case of Pop wanting Dedmon to get over himself again. Idk.

I respect Pop's stance against ego and arrogance but all the man did was retweet.

[Robz4000]

They'd lose but it'd be close. The bigs would keep them in it provided they played at a slow pace.

[spurs10]

Clutch shooting down the stretch, that's what I like to see. There ya go! I just got home and it's likely been said, but the crowd was a lot better for this game! Also the team wearing their road black jerseys was good to see! If not for missing a half dozen ft's it wouldn't have been the nail biter it was. Good game with some clutch play by several guys!

[GSH]

Missed tonight's game, dammit. Is it a case of the team playing down to the competition or would we get curbstomped against the Dubs if we played them tonight instead?

They played just good enough to win. Danny didn't do shit for the whole game, but he came up with a big 3-pointer with 19 seconds left that they absolutely had to have. LMA didn't rebound worth a shit, as per usual, but he came up with a big one in the last minute that got Danny the opportunity to make that 3. The starters were all a net negative, and it was the bench players that kept them in the hunt. They missed a dozen FT's, got out-rebounded by the Wizards, and had 15 TO's. And at the end, Washington missed a layup that would have tied the game.

I don't know how they would have fared against the Dubs. But they did their level best to lose to the Wizards at home.

[SpurPadre]

They'd lose but it'd be close. The bigs would keep them in it provided they played at a slow pace.

Not only do we need to use our size advantage over them, but Kawhi needs to get 30 a game against them.

Hope we at least had something to do with that missed layup. Update: just saw a recap and we were lucky they missed that layup. I know Kawhi made that shot but could he have taken his time a bit to get an easier shot and not have left them with plenty of time to tie it back?

Good summary.

[GSH]

Hope we at least had something to do with that missed layup.


There's no doubt. It was well contested. But if there's anyone here who says that they didn't think that layup was going in, or that there was no chance that the zebras might give them a couple of FT's, they're lying. In fact, Wall made a layup with 11 seconds left that was contested so well that it could easily have gotten him an and-1. Even Sean commented on that.

They won. That's a good thing. It was not an impressive performance.

[John Petrucci]

Incredible shot by Kawhi :toast All these tough moments against lesser opponents will hopefully help us a ton in the playoffs. Kawhi needs these situations. Good to see he's up there with the best as far as clutch shots in recent years.

[spurs10]

"I didn't see the game. but......." should never be said. If you couldn't find the time to see the game (many really great reasons) then why are you compelled to talk about it?

I'm very fortunate to see many games live. With that in mind, I don't want to hear about people that didn't see the game.....at all.. Just refrain from talking about it ...would be my take...???

[spurs10]

Not meaning at all that you have to see it in person. Just have seen the game in some format.

To be fair the highlights we have on YT these days are fairly comprehensive compared to what they were in the past, although of course they don't really come close to telling the whole story of a game.

I definitely hear what you're saying if all someone did was look at the box score and go off with extensive and/or resolute opinions.

[Fireball]

another lackluster effort at home ... but looking at all these empty seats I would be more fired up on the road as well ... especially with that high rate of Spurs fans on the road

no Bertans is not good ... especially when Dedmon did not get any minutes in the second half

[ElNono]

Canyonero taking us to the W again :tu
