Official Game Thread (21/82): Spurs @ Bucks (7:00 PM CT/1:00GMT)

[spurtech09]

Kl is on a mission.....

[mclinejr]

Fuck you, Parker. And Fuck these refs.

[DPG21920]

They guy I was playing in fantasy picked up Mills last week to beat me. Now that he's not playing me regression city :lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

OVERPASSING IDIOTS

[spurtech09]

shoot the ball

[bklynspursfan]

Are u kidding me! Come on Simmons wtf

[RD2191]

WTF SIMMONS YOU IDIOT

[ace3g]

Simmons too unselfish

[Spurs9]

:(

[DPG21920]

F*CKKKKKKKKK Be aggressive simmons. Damn it.

[GSH]

Now get the 2 for 1

[bklynspursfan]

Great D by Aldridge. Gotta go 2 for 1

[DPG21920]

What defense by LMa!!!

[Raven]

damn that aldridge D

[SAGirl]

Simms lack of shooting is problem for closing games.

[sasaint]

Simmons needed to take the 3 or complete the drive. Door #3 was a loser.

[Kawhitstorm]

Simmons in crunch time:lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

Simmons lacks so much fucking confidence in himself man. He can be great, he has the tools

[bklynspursfan]

Ok, i know pop is a terrible coach according to some of yall, but these out of timeout plays have been money on recent years.

Need a quick hitter now

[GSH]

Good time out. Now they can get a good shot and still get the 2 for 1.

[DAF86]

LA coming up clutch on D.

[ducks]

Aldridge clutch d

[SAGirl]

LMA back to back good defensive plays. I like that.... :toast

[r0drig0lac]

c'mon simmons...dunk the fucking ball

[Kawhitstorm]

Simmons needed to take the 3 or complete the drive. Door #3 was a loser.

That was a shot Danny would have taken.:bang

[RD2191]

Let's get a dunk for Kawhi

[tonight...you]

I'm calling the win. Right now.

[bdictjames]

Lamarcus is pretty good using his left hand on defense. Some people are just like that. Hopefully he can improve playing defense going to the right side.

[Kawhitstorm]

Simmons lacks so much fucking confidence in himself man. He can be great, he has the tools

Nando De Cucko 2.0

[cjw]

Good time out. Now they can get a good shot and still get the 2 for 1.

32 seconds is very tight. Down 1, can miss and foul worst case if you get a good shot. For 2 for 1, need to force right off inbound.

[r0drig0lac]

goaltending?

[bklynspursfan]

Wow that's a goaltending. Crawford did not want to blow his whistle. What a punk!

[GSH]

They can review goaltending? Fuck!

[mclinejr]

Goal tending!

[Kawhitstorm]

Let's get a dunk for Kawhi

Pump fake & get to the line.

[William Hung]

Definitely goaltending

[ace3g]

Aldridge stepping up

[r0drig0lac]

teletubie gw

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi could've taken that corner 3 when he first got it.

[Spurs9]

Spurs coasting

[RD2191]

Oh fuck. Here comes the dagger.

[DPG21920]

Get. A. Stop.

[bklynspursfan]

They can review goaltending? Fuck!

We're good on that 1. There's no denying that call

[GSH]

Oh fuck. Here comes the dagger.


Danny is on the floor.

[William Hung]

Need a big stop here please no bs refs

[ducks]

Spurs ahead

[timtonymanu]

Bucks announcers have been amazing. Non homerish

[Raven]

anteto dumb again on d

[Kawhitstorm]

S:wowftridge

[SAGirl]

Basket...
LmA showing heart too on that shot. I like...

[GSH]

We're good on that 1. There's no denying that call


Yeah, I don't want anything in these refs hands. It worked out okay.

[ace3g]

yes sir!!!

[Spurs9]

:wow :wow

[GSH]

Hooooly Shit!!!!!

[r0drig0lac]

WOW ....GO SPURS!!!!

[TheGreatYacht]

ALDRIDGE YOU FUCKING BEAST

[bklynspursfan]

Game over! Screw those guys.

Again they missed a charge on Giannis. Swallowed their whistles. Also looked like a travel

[Horse]

Holy shit!!!!!!!!!!

[Raven]

YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

[BD24]

damn what an exciting game.

[BatManu20]

Game bitches!

[$pursDynasty]

What a game

[RD2191]

FK YOU BUCKS!!!

[DarrinS]

W

[Spurs9]

Best win of the year outside of the Warriors tbh

[Robz4000]

FUCK YES

[William Hung]

Win of the year so far aside from the 30 point blowout game one

[baseline bum]

Great clock management there by Manu. :toast

[weeks]

Lazy LMAlpha with more clutch rebounding

[DPG21920]

:lol I so didn't want Fearza to get a shot and he got a corner 3 my lawd!

:lmao refs swallowing their whistle all of the sudden GTFO!

[james evans]

ok, WHY THE HELL WERE GINOBLI AND ALDRIDGE ON THE COURT AT THE END OF THE GAME???? Was popovich trying to give the game away? Aldridge made 2 key defensive stops late in the 4th, but Dedmon is by far our best defending big. wtf

[tonight...you]

Called it.

[gambit1990]

what a game.

thank god parker went out.

[raybies]

Gg no re

[Leetonidas]

The emotional roller coaster of this game tbh :lol

[spurtech09]

lol the Bucks got away with a lot....a lot a lot

[jmard5]

Tough, tough, WIN!

[NASpurs]

Holy fuuuuuuuuuuck, in spite of Pop wanting to throw the game and the refs being fags, Spurs win! :wow

[DarrinS]

Hate to say it, but they fought back after TP left the game

[SAGirl]

What a win.. quality win.
I have to give props to the man: Bertans.
http://s.tf.rs/2012/11/01/bertans.jpg

[SPURt]

Wow, ugly ass win but I'll take it. Spurs making every mistake they could down the stretch.

[Horse]

This is the kind of win that really brings a team together

[ducks]

Spurs win

[timtonymanu]

Fucking badass win. 5 against 8 all night and only had a 9 point 2nd quarter and still win. The energy home/away is so different.

[bdictjames]

I'm calling the win. Right now.
This guy. :toast

[PopTheGOAT]

That's a great freaking win!!!!

[GSH]

Great clock management there by Manu. :toast


That was really GREAT D by Manu on that last possession. That really changed things.

[bklynspursfan]

Eh, I still kinda feel ok about our chances. It's a road game, and I would be extremely shocked if we shoot 31% for the game

Told you guys man. (That was at halftime) there was no way we would stink it up like that all game. I was unaware the refs would be this terrible though smh

This is for Bertans!

Game ball goes to Dedmon. LMA and Kawhi did what stars are supposed to.

[kaji157]

Best all around Game from LMA

[Raven]

overall best nba game of the year, congrats to everyone

[NASpurs]

LMA was huge on D in those final minutes too :wow

[sasaint]

Mills 0 of 8 tonight. Might have been a good idea to go to Lapro. The team made a run with him out there.... Mills is cold, he's regressing to normal after having shot 80% or something last couple of games. That was unreal.

Lapro clearly doesn't have Pop's trust in crunch time. He played very well. If he continues to improve he will be a keeper. :toast

[TheGreatYacht]

what a game.

thank god parker went out.
You have a mullet in 2016, Homo lol

[SAGirl]

Hate to say it, but they fought back after TP left the game
Nico with the lob passing to Dedmon was super cool. He just got guys going after everyone had been so cold in the first half and got them with shots right at the basket.

[NikosChelsea7]

:flag:

[DAF86]

805956327088553984

BAAAAAHAHAHA! :lol

Kawhi would take the W, thank you very much. Have a good night and God bless.

[TheGreatYacht]

Hate to say it, but they fought back after TP left the game
Team responded after the HOTS went down

[Kawhitstorm]

LMA was huge on D in those final minutes too :wow

He can play like this for 82 game but he just doesn't have the motor like Kawhi.:bang

[skin27]

Nice win!!!:flag:

[UNT Eagles 2016]

WOW!!!!!!!!

Reminded me of good old Spurs @ Milwaukee games from the early 2000s, most of which we lost by like one or two points at the end like that.


What a last ditch comeback, what a win!!!

[SAGirl]

Lapro clearly doesn't have Pop's trust in crunch time. He played very well. If he continues to improve he will be a keeper. :toast
I had seen some of that in preseason, thus why I wanted Spurs to keep him, but it was obvious the lack of chemistry and such. The passing had not been there like tonight. But he's getting confidence, definitely his best game so far.

He's in a one year deal.. he's probably gone with Murray in the team and Mills..
Spurs just wont be able to resign everyone they currently have. Some will go after this season.
There is
Mills,
Nico,
Simmons,
Dedmon,
Lee,
etc.

[DarrinS]

Nico with the lob passing to Dedmon was super cool. He just got guys going after everyone had been so cold in the first half and got them with shots right at the basket.


And he got the worst of that "scuffle", tbh

[GSH]

I love the way Dedmon played, and I love it that Bertans showed he's got some stones.

[TheGreatYacht]

Can't wait till LMAlpha gets disrespected AGAIN in the game grades :wakeup

[boutons_deux]

not bad at all, for early December.

Spurs equal the second-best start on the road in NBA history with their 12-0 record away from San Antonio this season.

[CGD]

Awesome game. The spurs showed a lot of character tonight.

And what a great crowd they have up there in Milwaukee; felt like a college vibe at times. I really like this Bucks team.

[Raven]

Hate to say it, but they fought back after TP left the game

tbh the momentum shifted when tony made those two jumpers.

[CGD]

Game ball to Dedmon.

[r0drig0lac]

Spurs should start with Kawhi Simmons Dedmon Aldridge and Parker

[FaM0us Skins]

Nice LMA was the MVP in the clutch tonight!

[ducks]

tbh the momentum shifted when tony made those two jumpers.

[DPG21920]

what a game.

thank god parker went out.

You are the biggest idiot on this site and that is saying something.

[gambit1990]

spurs played played so much better without parker. not surprised. such an exciting game.

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurs should start with Kawhi Simmons Dedmon Aldridge and Parker
This x1000

[Dancelot]

I'm actually really liking this years team.

[SAGirl]

Awesome game. The spurs showed a lot of character tonight.

And what a great crowd they have up there in Milwaukee; felt like a college vibe at times. I really like this Bucks team.
Yea,
the Bucks beat themselves with many mistakes but you can see the talent... both Jabari and Antetoukumpo. They are a likeable team. I hope they give helll to everyone in tha teast conference.

Wish they got Middleton back, I don't know how he's doing or if he's just lost for the season.

[DarrinS]

I love the way Dedmon played, and I love it that Bertans showed he's got some stones.

Dedmon was a beast out there. He was part of a very good rotation that I hope I see more of.

[TDomination]

What an exciting game! You know, I'm loving how the Spurs are able to win these close games on the road. Good job LMA on D.

I didn't like how everyone kept shooting 3's when we were down 3 at the end. I know they were open but sometimes they just won't go in and it's better to just try and drive.

[urunobili]

No Deadmon church thread?

[DPG21920]

spurs played played so much better without parker. not surprised. such an exciting game.

You are the biggest idiot on this site and that is saying something.

[TheGreatYacht]

He's Argentinian. Connect the dots

[GSH]

To overcome a 20 FT deficit on the road isn't easy. Especially when you lose your starting PG, and the backup is 0-8 shooting.

[DarrinS]

Spurs should start with Kawhi Simmons Dedmon Aldridge and Parker

Sans Parker :lol

[DPG21920]

Sans Parker :lol

Nah.

[SAGirl]

Nice LMA was the MVP in the clutch tonight!
I got to give credit where it's due, he was huge on defense...

[GSH]

Damn - Dedmon with the quality postgame interview, too.

[ducks]

https://mobile.twitter.com/EbolaPuta

[Perry Mason]

Kawhi really turned it around. I loved his incredible steal at the end.

But LMA and Deadman are the heroes tonight. Pau also played tough, but couldn't handle the defense as well (but he tried).

Lapro with honorable mention for his best game, and creative, simple offense to get the team going.

[TheGreatYacht]

Sans Parker :lol
:cry hate to say it :cry

faggot

[SpurPadre]

It's a miracle Teletubby missed that shot, tbh.

[TimDunkem]

I didn't like how everyone kept shooting 3's when we were down 3 at the end. I know they were open but sometimes they just won't go in and it's better to just try and drive.
Nah. Teams work their asses off to get shots like those. You take them when you have them. And, as you can see, refs will swallow their whistles at the end of games, so you can't expect a whistle nor can you expect to finish against that Bucks length. The Spurs did what they were supposed to.

[GSH]

It's a miracle Teletubby missed that shot, tbh.


Caught a break that the Freak got that goaltending call, too. I don't think that shot had a chance of going down.

[TimDunkem]

lol This game really turned around as soon as TP went out.

[Mugen]

Spurs win!

[DarrinS]

:cry hate to say it :cry

faggot

The salt tho :lol

[SpurPadre]

To overcome a 20 FT deficit on the road isn't easy. Especially when you lose your starting PG, and the backup is 0-8 shooting.

It's been a long time since we've come from behind down big to win, especially on the road. I think Game 5 to get #5 was the last time we came back from a big deficit...and that was early in the game, lol.

[TheGreatYacht]

The salt tho :lol
That lack of insulin tho :lol

[timtonymanu]

It's a miracle Teletubby missed that shot, tbh.

Yep I was thinking "oh fuck!" when he caught it. Lucky break.

[r0drig0lac]

lakers s5 without pg and sg...walton coty

[apalisoc_9]

Missed the game. Did the spurs comeback from a huge deficit or something? Also, it looked like the backcourt had to be heavily piggybacked by the frpntcourt again.

Also saw in the third kawhi had 5 pts..surprised he finished with 21 points.

Lol winning a game witb botb Porker and Mills being awful.

[bklynspursfan]

lol This game really turned around as soon as TP went out.

It turned around more after that scuffle. In fact when he was in early it was good. Bench came on in the 2nd and blew it the first time

[james evans]

Either Gasol or Aldridge gotta come off the bench. There is no debating it. This shit isn't working at all

[ducks]

https://mobile.twitter.com/EbolaPuta

Lol

[DarrinS]

I think players were feeding off Dedmon'S energy tonight. I hope he stays out of Pop's doghouse.

[TimDunkem]

It turned around more after that scuffle. In fact when he was in early it was good. Bench came on in the 2nd and blew it the first time
Disagree. Nico came in for Parker and got his teammates open shots, and that alley for Dedmon really fired him up - which got him going. Then the team fed off of that.

The "fight" happened after that.

[bklynspursfan]

It's a miracle Teletubby missed that shot, tbh.

Could've called a charge or travel on Giannis before he even made that pass. We were owed that lol

[RD2191]

Props to TP tonight. He carried us early before he got injured.

[bklynspursfan]

Disagree. Nico came in for Parker and got his teammates open shots, and that alley for Dedmon really fired him up - which got him going. Then the team fed off of that.

The "fight" happened after that.

Parker had 4 assists in the first, he was setting guys up too. We went to hell in the 2nd quarter with our 2nd unit.

Lapro was great don't get me wrong, I like what he did. But a comeback was going to happen regardless imo.

[RD2191]

34 free throws for the bucks :lol new OKC?

[TimDunkem]

Parker had 4 assists in the first, he was setting guys up too. We went to hell in the 2nd quarter with our 2nd unit.

Yeah, that wasn't a guarantee at all. :lol And I'm not saying Parker was total trash, but the game clearly turned around after he left. It was obvious, imo.

[pgardn]

Dammit. Aldridge can move his feet on D.

He gave himself away tonight.
I got expectations now.

[GSH]

Missed the game. Did the spurs comeback from a huge deficit or something? Also, it looked like the backcourt had to be heavily piggybacked by the frpntcourt again.

Also saw in the third kawhi had 5 pts..surprised he finished with 21 points.

Lol winning a game witb botb Porker and Mills being awful.


At one point, the Bucks had a 30-7 FTA advantage. Those fuckers spent the whole 3rd quarter on the line.

Dedmon was just a fucking beast. His energy, rebounding, and getting loose balls pulled the team out of a funk. Kawhi was pretty much shit until the 4th quarter, but he came up big when they needed it.

Parker wasn't that bad before he got hurt. Lap held his own when he was in the game.

[Robz4000]

LMA also snuck in 5 assists. 18/9/5 on 50% shooting with great D. As bad as he was to start dude finished the game strong.

[GSH]

LMA also snuck in 5 assists. 18/9/5 on 50% shooting with great D. As bad as he was to start dude finished the game strong.


So did Lap. Pretty damned good in 8 minutes.

[DarrinS]

Does Dedmon make LMA play harder on D?

[pgardn]

Gotta thank Milwaukee for giving a scrappy effort and getting all kinds of calls for attacking the basket. They brought out the hustle we have been lacking.

Bertans helped indirectly in lighting a fuse.

[bklynspursfan]

Yeah, that wasn't a guarantee at all. :lol And I'm not saying Parker was total trash, but the game clearly turned around after he left. It was obvious, imo.

Fair enough. We got the Win!

And when I say a comeback was going to happen, I meant more so we wouldn't continue to shoot 30% from the field. The numbers would eventually even out and we wouldn't continue to miss like we were

[SpurPadre]

34 free throws for the bucks :lol new OKC?

It's bullshit but uber-athletic teams are getting the benefit of the doubt from the league. Thunder, even without Durant, are still Thunderefs from clips I've seen this year.

[SpurPadre]

LMA also snuck in 5 assists. 18/9/5 on 50% shooting with great D. As bad as he was to start dude finished the game strong.

One of his more impressive games of the season, IMO.

[timtonymanu]

LMA also snuck in 5 assists. 18/9/5 on 50% shooting with great D. As bad as he was to start dude finished the game strong.

This is all I want from Aldridge when it matters. Not the Softdridge version that only takes inefficient midrange jumpers and doesn't rebound.

[ducks]

Dunk fest
https://t.co/QqFFDgfgri

[FaM0us Skins]

34 free throws for the bucks :lol new OKC?

Not really we just kept fouling them over and over. None were bad calls imo

[spurs10]

Yes!

[bigfan]

The only time me and my Dad went to a ballgame together it was at Hemisfair like around 1984 or so and it was against the Bucks. Montcrief and Cummings tore us up that night. Tonight is payback.

[SAGirl]

Bertans 19pts 10reb 5blk
Book it!

Didn't quite get that chance as he was punking fools.

[Spurtacular]

I tuned in late, and the Spurs made the comeback win; I might be the good luck guy.

This.

[Arcadian]

This team is clutch. Love it.

I never would have guessed that, if the Spurs had a player ejected for behavior, it would be Bertans. :lol

Bertans is an euro OG tbh.
