Tony hates him, he is jealous. Tony will get KL's girlfriend.

These all are logical statements that follow each other...

[Robz4000]

Bad time for a timeout. Toronto is melting down, it's time to pour it on.

[Nathan89]

TP showcasing everything tonight. Absolutely phenomenal

[spurtech09]

Wow no doubt Tony Parker is having a solid season......Hope he keeps it up throughout the whole season and play-offs....

[DJR210]

Parker purposely delayed pass to ensure Kawhi wouldn't get 2nd straight wide open 3

[DarrinS]

HOTs is spry as shit tonight.

[DAF86]

Damn, Parker's vision trully sucks. He's playing great but how can you not see Kawhi wide ass open for like 5 seconds there?

[spurtech09]

Kawhi Leonard has now scored double figures in 67 games straight - the longest streak by any Spur since Tim Duncan's 75 straight in 2004-05.

[$pursDynasty]

The starting unit going nova

[pgardn]

Tony missed KL.

Tony hates him, he is jealous. Tony will get KL's girlfriend.

Pau rebounding :lmao

TP shitting on FkLA so hard :lmao

Why would the hero shoot that? :lol

[SpursIndonesia]

Gasol with yet another shitty no box out rebounding effort, damn !!

[RD2191]

Cojo :depressed

[Splits]

Fuck, Manu back in

[GSH]

Oh so now we are resorting to using a 5 minute sample size to prop-up Enrique by shit talking MVPaddy? Smh.

Shut up.



LOL. FKLA looking for any way out of the shit piling up on him. :lol

[spurtech09]

LMA steam rolling.

[Spurtacular]

Spurs were favs at 6.5 pts. I thought that was high, so I only put 20 on them. Wishing I put real money on them now.

[FkLA]

Just feed Kawhigod and LMAlpha. That's the winning formula. We don't need anyone else trying to be hero, tbh.

[GSH]

Fucking Tony dishing another dime. Lucky bastard.

[$pursDynasty]

How many dimes hots got?

[DAF86]

:lmao

What's your excuse for TP not hitting Kawhi quick there? I want to believe he didn't see him, instead of going with the childish "he doesn't want to pass it to Kawhi :cry".

[Ron Swanson]

How many dimes hots got?

7

[SAGirl]

CoJo talking to guys for bad defense.... he's grown into a nice guard.

[pgardn]

Parker getting 7 assists with guys hitting shots

[Robz4000]

Take Kawhi out, Toronto scores on four straight possessions.

[objective]

Pau only boxes out with his eyes.

[r0drig0lac]

Simmons with a lockdown def

[Kawhitstorm]

Pau enters, Raptors getting offensive rebounds.:sleep

[DPG21920]

The thing is, most of the time TP is getting guys to spots. Whether they make or miss or make an extra pass is another thing.

I'm not saying he plays this well all the time; he doesn't. But when it comes to running an offense TP>all other PGs on this roster.

[SAGirl]

Tony shitting on everybody lol

[GSH]

Spurs were favs at 6.5 pts. I thought that was high, so I only put 20 on them. Wishing I put real money on them now.


It's almost worth the Spurs drop a game, just to see you "remember" that you bet the other way. :rollin

[ElNono]

Damn I'm flying back home right now, sounds like a good game to watch later tonight

[RD2191]

Cojo>Mills

[FkLA]

LOL. FKLA looking for any way out of the shit piling up on him. :lol

?

Does the second-unit not show shades of playing 2014 style ball? Is it not idiotic to use a 5-minute sample size when, in general, the second unit has been good throughout the season?

[SAGirl]

Pau only boxes out with his eyes.
:lol
objective with a joke!
a rarity.... :toast

[Splits]

LOL. FKLA looking for any way out of the shit piling up on him. :lol

:lmao

[Robz4000]

LMA, Kawhi, and Tony played elite-level ball that half. Unfortunately the rest of the team was below average.

[GSH]

Take Kawhi out, Toronto scores on four straight possessions.



So.... are you saying that Kawhi is good on defense? Or that Pop should never take him out of a game? :D

[$pursDynasty]

Just feed Kawhigod and LMAlpha. That's the winning formula. We don't need anyone else trying to be hero, tbh.
Isn't that what HOTS was doing?

I
forgot who said it... spursistan?
He's DWest from 2016 all over again...

[pgardn]

What's your excuse for TP not hitting Kawhi quick there? I want to believe he didn't see him, instead of going with the childish "he doesn't want to pass it to Kawhi :cry".

Tony is jealous?

How about he is looking for a closer cutter and was not looking all the way across.
Which is actually legitimate.

[DarrinS]

What's your excuse for TP not hitting Kawhi quick there? I want to believe he didn't see him, instead of going with the childish "he doesn't want to pass it to Kawhi :cry".

There's no excuse. But where you went too far is saying his vision sucks. That is just stupid Argie hate. He took his time, it was a long cross court pass and ya, he should have done it sooner.

Manu might have tossed it into the stands. Just different players. But just because he missed one guy does not mean his vision sucks :lol

[GSH]

?

Does the second-unit not show shades of playing 2014 style ball? Is it not idiotic to use a 5-minute sample size when, in general, the second unit has been good throughout the season?


Don't know what the fuck you're squawking about. Don't really care. But you use a single-play sample size to bitch about Parker all the time.

[FkLA]

The thing is, most of the time TP is getting guys to spots. Whether they make or miss or make an extra pass is another thing.

I'm not saying he plays this well all the time; he doesn't. But when it comes to running an offense TP>all other PGs on this roster.

Yeah, let's give the 'HOTS' all the credit when both Kawhi and LMA are shooting like 85% from the field. :rolleyes

[pgardn]

Damn I'm flying back home right now, sounds like a good game to watch later tonight

You will see a 1st half with live-legged Tony.

It will take you back to good times.

[Splits]

Isn't that what HOTS was doing?

7 dimes in 15m :wow

[SpursIndonesia]

Pau enters, Raptors getting offensive rebounds.:sleep

Frustating man, it's not like its the worm hogging all the rebounds, Pau is simply refusing to box out his guy. :bang

[ElNono]

You will see a 1st half with live-legged Tony.

It will take you back to good times.

He's looked better the last week or so tbh

[SAGirl]

Cojo>Mills
He's a true PG. He has grown up.

[GSH]

Yeah, let's give the 'HOTS' all the credit when both Kawhi and LMA are shooting like 85% from the field. :rolleyes


Ummm... you do understand the whole "assist" thing, right?

[DPG21920]

He's playing like a PG tonight.

He has almost every night. People fail to realize that while he's a scoring PG more (and one of the best ever finishers) the system is what limits his assists. Not his vision or selfishness. He was always leading the league (or close to it) in hockey assists.

He plays like a PG all the time - PG's dont play the same every game but they are responsible for actually running an offense and creating which TP has always done at a very high level.

He's not a Nash/CP that just handles all the time until they find an assist though.

[spursistan]

inb4 Pau checks in and Raptors end half on a run..
This stiff giraffe boxout effort is disgusting...

[Robz4000]

So.... are you saying that Kawhi is good on defense? Or that Pop should never take him out of a game? :D

Saying it was a bad time to take him out since the Spurs could've pushed the lead to 25+.

[DPG21920]

Yeah, let's give the 'HOTS' all the credit when both Kawhi and LMA are shooting like 85% from the field. :rolleyes

You trollin :lol

[Horse]

Tony hasn't looked this fast or had his teardrop in years.

[DAF86]

Tony is jealous?

How about he is looking for a closer cutter and was not looking all the way across.
Which is actually legitimate.

That's why I say his vision sucks. Maybe I should have said "his vision is below average" to don't hurt people's feelings but the fact remains, a good passer hits the star player on a hot shooting streak in less than a second.

[pgardn]

The thing is, most of the time TP is getting guys to spots. Whether they make or miss or make an extra pass is another thing.

I'm not saying he plays this well all the time; he doesn't. But when it comes to running an offense TP>all other PGs on this roster.

Yep.

And it's not a slight on Patty which the Krew takes it as. Patty is a fantastic spark and our best shooter. They just don't want Patty doing what he does best. I guarantee Patty likes THIS Tony so he can do what he does best.

[elemento]

TP is playing great tbh.

If we have this TP in this playoffs, SA might have a chance. Kawhi on fire from deep. Great to watch.

PS : DG gotta be the perfect definition of a pure 3 and D player. Can't do shit else :lol

[BatManu20]

Kawhi and LMA playing the way we all dreamed they would tonight.

[DPG21920]

That's why I say his vision sucks. Maybe I should have said "his vision is below average" to don't hurt people's feelings but the fact remains, a good passer hits the star player on a hot shooting streak in less than a second.

:lmao His vision is not below average. You are being ridiculous and foolishly harsh because you are an argie

[Robz4000]

Spurs need to come out with an edge in the second half and put the lead up to 30. Toronto was down 25 to the Dubs last week and came all the way back before DeScruban chucked them out of it. Tonight he's hitting so counting on his chucks to miss might not work.

[RD2191]

Tony hasn't looked this fast or had his teardrop in years.

He's Going Hard

[pgardn]

That's why I say his vision sucks. Maybe I should have said "his vision is below average" to don't hurt people's feelings but the fact remains, a good passer hits the star player on a hot shooting streak in less than a second.

His vision is not the best especially in uptempo. It's also not the worst.

So this logic means he is also fat and wants your girlfriend?

[RD2191]

:lmao His vision is not below average. You are being ridiculous and foolishly harsh because you are an argie

Bruh, TP has been playing lately but his vision has always been trash.

[spursistan]

Saying it was a bad time to take him out since the Spurs could've pushed the lead to 25+.
Is Pop doing this shit on purpose, tbh? a redhot Kawhi 1:24 left in half (15 minutes rest coming) gets yanked having only 1 foul..I'm truly disgusted by this micromanaging old fart..

[DAF86]

There's no excuse. But where you went too far is saying his vision sucks. That is just stupid Argie hate. He took his time, it was a long cross court pass and ya, he should have done it sooner.

Manu might have tossed it into the stands. Just different players. But just because he missed one guy does not mean his vision sucks :lol

Are you happy with "below average vision for a hall of fame point guard"?

P/S: You have been here long enough to know that I'm not a Parker hater.

[spurraider21]

816352221923250176

So, does this mean Facilitator Parker tonight? :wow
4 FGA, 7 Assists, 1 Turnover... :wow

[FkLA]

Isn't that what HOTS was doing?

Yeah, he did actually. :tu

If he consistently plays like he did this first half I'll be thrilled. When he looks spry, more times than not he uses it to get his. That's what I have problem with. I hope he has turned into a team player overnight but I have my doubts considering the fact that he has a history of putting on his hero cape during games, tbh.

[Spurtacular]

It's almost worth the Spurs drop a game, just to see you "remember" that you bet the other way. :rollin

I thought about betting on the raptors to cover... then i thought fuck it; raptors in SA are trash.


On a side note, was at small d was a pick. Eastern Conference is that shitty. Could be ecf finalists; but not even favored vs the lowly mavs.

[Robz4000]

Also, best thing so far tonight:

Fathead - 0 mins

Tony Parker just moved into #63 in NBA history in minutes played, passing Latrell Sprewell with 35,271 career minutes.







https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/642728690451742720/qQu1g9YF_bigger.jpg Jordan Howenstine ‏@AirlessJordan (https://twitter.com/AirlessJordan)

Kawhi Leonard's 5 three-pointers in the first half are the second most he's ever had in a half. Had 6 in the second at Memphis 12/3/15.







https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/642728690451742720/qQu1g9YF_bigger.jpg Jordan Howenstine ‏@AirlessJordan (https://twitter.com/AirlessJordan)

Tony Parker now has more made field goals in the NBA than Julius Erving. Parker passes Dr. J for #58 all time with his 7,238th basket.







https://pbs.twimg.com/profile_images/642728690451742720/qQu1g9YF_bigger.jpg Jordan Howenstine ‏@AirlessJordan (https://twitter.com/AirlessJordan)

LaMarcus Aldridge now has 12 three-pointers this season (12-25), second most he's ever had in a season in his career. High is 37 in 2014-15.

[objective]

You know it's a good game for Parker when he scores on a fast break.

I remember the games the last two years of him pulling up on breaks that used to be easy scores, teardrops vanished into memory.

[Arcadian]

Dynamic Duo doing work

[FkLA]

4 FGA, 7 Assists, 1 Turnover... :wow

That would be amazing if he can contain his inner-hero consistently. :tu

[Chinook]

Kawhi and LMA playing the way we all dreamed they would tonight.

Kawhi taking threes and shots at the rim combined with LMA showing some grit inside is doing wonders. It also helps that Tony is able to get almost anything he wants.

[RD2191]

Can't fuck around in the 3rd like we usually do.

[Robz4000]

Is Pop doing this shit on purpose, tbh? a redhot Kawhi 1:24 left in half (15 minutes rest coming) gets yanked having only 1 foul..I'm truly disgusted by this micromanaging old fart..

At least the rest of his decisions tonight have been spot on.

[DPG21920]

Bruh, TP has been playing lately but his vision has always been trash.

No bruh - it hasn't. I'm not claiming he's Nash, but his vision has never been even close to below average.

[FkLA]

I can dig this.

[DAF86]

:lmao His vision is not below average. You are being ridiculous and foolishly harsh because you are an argie

Well, I don't know about you but I don't know of many PGs that wouldn't have hit Kawhi within 0.5 seconds there. If you don't accept that Parker's vision has always been below average for a hall of famer PG then you're being a homer suckup, tbh.

[BillMc]

Might as well not even root for your own team. :rolleyes


It's called analysis my friends, and looking at the team/numbers/matchups and saying the team won't win it all doesn't make them bad fans; the fact they'll be rooting their asses off with the rest of you means they care just as much.

Sadly, I don't see much analysis, Rob. :depressedExcept for Chinook and DPG and a few others such as yourself, analysis left this site with Bruno and TiMvp, What I see is "Porker" and "Kawhi isn't clutch" and "Pop and RC suck" and a struggling young player is a "Fathead." I see defeatists who rant because their team isn't an overwhelming favorite.

As far as rooting, making a game thread calling your team "paper tigers" in the title isn't rooting. It's covering all your bases in case of a loss. It'd be like going to a home game and holding up a sign that says "Spurs are Crap!" just in case they lose.

Okay, my diaper is full. Anger is not my MO.

Time to take the meds... :lol

[spurs10]

Good half ..with energy! Let's make it 48!

[DPG21920]

Manu would've seen that pass 5 seconds before Enrique did, that's for sure.

Spurs are usually good in the third. It's their best quarter.

I hope he has turned into a team player overnight but I have my doubts considering the fact that he has a history of putting on his hero cape during games, tbh.

Bro - he's an aggressive player and always been super efficient. But he always has passed. He never had gaudy assists but this narrative that he's selfish doesn't fly in the face of any research. He's always passing, meaningful passes. He always is up there in "hockey assists".

And just because miss a shot or make it (like tonight) doesn't change the fact it was a good pass.

No one is perfect but very rarely in his career, even now, does he take a lot of bad shots. Sometimes he has to bail people out, sometimes its just a bad shot, but the majority of the time it's good looks when he's shooting/driving.

[RD2191]

No. I've posted numbers numerous times that support what im saying. You've never posted anything to back up your assertion.

The old "if you don't agree, you're a homer" take from the argie talking about TP. Classic.

[Robz4000]

Great, so much for putting the game away.

[DPG21920]

What a shitty post. :lol

Make a poll about it. If more people think it's sh*tty than good I leave forever. If not, you do - deal?

HOTS came to play lol
Lamarcus dominating too.

[DAF86]

No - I'm not happy with that :lol. He's not below average!

Well, I guess we will have to agree to disagree on this one.

Parker's passing is good on half court sets when he knows where everybody is going to be. When the structure and system helps him. On fastbreak opportunities he always holds onto the ball longer than he needs to. That's because he just doesn't have enough floor vision to identify all the available options. Or now you are also going to deny Tony's lack of passing on fastbreak opportunities?

[SASdynasty!]

I don't have the energy to debate this anymore tbh...it's old and it's not getting better. It's just funny in a game where TP is racing the ball down TOR throats and firing passes to all corners you say this because of one missed Kawhi pass :lol

[SAGirl]

Lamarcus is really strong...

[RD2191]

PASS IT TO KAWHI YOU FAT FAGGOT. FUCKING HERO PIECE OF SHIT

[DPG21920]

TP getting into the paint at will is so damn big for this offense. LMa and Pau will feast with this more often than not.

Yeah Bill it's like you're almost not allowed to root for your team. Even if you're extreme. But it's okay for the cliffjumpers to be extreme on the other end after every loss.

:lol I don't see how you can call him a scoring PG but then claim there's no selfishness in him. What other PG that has that label would get that benefit of the doubt from you? Stop being a homer. Yeah, he has some assists and hockey assists, mainly because the Spurs are such a structured team and he's the guy that's had the ball in his hands the large majority of the time.

He's actually heroballing this third quarter. The other guys got theirs in the first half, now it's his turn. Predictably.

Loving the steady team effort we have tonight. Keep it up guys, and we'll get the W!

[spurs10]

MVP! MVP!

[SAGirl]

Pop calling plays.. calls PnP/R with Kawhi, draws a foul on a 3.:toast

[DAF86]

No. I've posted numbers numerous times that support what im saying. You've never posted anything to back up your assertion.

The old "if you don't agree, you're a homer" take from the argie talking about TP. Classic.

What numbers can you possibly post to prove something that's entirely eyed proved? :lol

High or low assists totals don't mean a guy has good or bad vision, tbh.

[DPG21920]

:lol I don't see how you can call him a scoring PG but then claim there's no selfishness in him. What other PG that has that label would get that benefit of the doubt from you? Stop being a homer. Yeah, he has some assists and hockey assists, mainly because the Spurs are such a structured team and he's the guy that's had the ball in his hands the large majority of the time.

He's actually heroballing this third quarter. The other guys got theirs in the first half, now it's his turn. Predictably.

Kobe is selfish. TP is not. Just because you are a scorer does not mean you are selfish. Stop being obtuse.

[RD2191]

Shouldn't raps have 53?

[pgardn]

Lamarcus is really strong...

Let him do this on Draymon G when we play GS.
PLEASE.

[99 Problems]

This is one of those periods where Kawhi does not touch the ball. FFs pass Kawhi the ball you fools.

[DPG21920]

What numbers can you possibly post to prove something that's entirely eyed proved? :lol

What - I'm talking overall about his passing being supported by numbers (and his passes leading to high percentage shots). You can't have poor vision and do that. Not to mention I watch the games as well. With less homer glasses than the guy with an argie flag tbh..

[RD2191]

HGH!!

[FkLA]

Kobe is selfish. TP is not. Just because you are a scorer does not mean you are selfish. Stop being obtuse.

What other scoring PG doesn't have a selfish bone in their body? Come on name them.

[ducks]

Tp is in fire

[RD2191]

This is one of those periods where Kawhi does not touch the ball. FFs pass Kawhi the ball you fools.

TBH

[FkLA]

Enrique making up for his lack of FGAs in the 1st half. Smh.

[spurtech09]

TP9

[spurs10]

Call it both ways!

[DPG21920]

What other scoring PG doesn't have a selfish bone in their body? Come on name them.

I didn't say he's never selfish. I said he's not a selfish player. Never has been. There are moments when all players are selfish. Kobe is selfish all the time. TP was aggressive, and took good shots the majority of the time and also passes a ton.

[RD2191]

Why isn't Kawhi touching the ball? Oh yeah, a certain PG is playing hero.

[bdictjames]

Good D, Pau!

[DPG21920]

TP is selfish because LM was doubled and passed to TP for a wide open 3 that he made. K.

[DarrinS]

A few mistakes here and there, but I like what I see.

[Robz4000]

Let DeScruban go for 50, shut down everyone else. Get Gasol off the floor, though.

[Splits]

Holy shit TP making FKLA eat a bucket of shit tonight :lmao

[SASdynasty!]

How long is Parker going to run this league tbh? 15/8 on 67% in 22 minutes.

[FkLA]

I didn't say he's never selfish. I said he's not a selfish player. Never has been. There are moments when all players are selfish. Kobe is selfish all the time. TP was aggressive, and took good shots the majority of the time and also passes a ton.

What other big-time scoring PG isn't a selfish player?

[SAGirl]

Let him do this on Draymon G when we play GS.
PLEASE.
I
suspect they let that RAymond Green get away with all sorts of swipes and stuff... league does let him get away with some unreal physicality.. but one can hope.

[RD2191]

Enrique making up for his lack of FGAs in the 1st half. Smh.
No shit

[r0drig0lac]

Get Gasol off the floor.

[FkLA]

Truth bomb.

[bklynspursfan]

Let him do this on Draymon G when we play GS.
PLEASE.

He already did once this year

[spurs10]

Holy shit TP making FKLA eat a bucket of shit tonight :lmao That is not pleasant imagery!:lol

[spurtech09]

Manu getting speared....

[DPG21920]

What other big-time scoring PG isn't a selfish player?

This is a really stupid question and even the way its phrased makes my head hurt.

I'm done messing with y'all though. I mustered up energy the past few weeks but I'm out of it now.

[ducks]

Leonard shot 5 free throws this quarter
Saving his legs tell 4

[bklynspursfan]

TP is selfish because LM was doubled and passed to TP for a wide open 3 that he made. K.

The logic on here is incredible. It's no secret he's a score first type of PG, he isn't like a Rondo only looking to pass.

But he's taking shots within the flow of the offense and good looks no less. People will just see what they want tbh. It's comical, especially on a night where he's playing so well

[FkLA]

Holy shit TP making FKLA eat a bucket of shit tonight :lmao

He played well the first half. More assists than FGAs.

He couldn't contain his inner-hero in the third quarter though. Probably had like a 5:1 shot to assist ratio. :lol

[r0drig0lac]

LMA making it seem easy

[spurs10]

Tough playing!:lma

[SAGirl]

This Lamarcus was missing a quarter of a season TBH.

[FaM0us Skins]

:lma

[RD2191]

Lol Chuck mills

[DPG21920]

This Lamarcus was missing a quarter of a season TBH.

I guess we have learned that LMA to start is slow LMA. Happened last year too. It's a trend :lol

[Ron Swanson]

Manuuuuuuuuuu

[bklynspursfan]

Great look from Aldridge

[RD2191]

Kawhi with the penetration

[spurtech09]

Nice fastbreak....Now this is Spurs ball.......

[DPG21920]

What a pass by Kawhi!

[pgardn]

Patty rewarding.

Great teammate.

[FkLA]

This is a really stupid question and even the way its phrased makes my head hurt.

I'm done messing with y'all though. I mustered up energy the past few weeks but I'm out of it now.

An unselfish player wouldn't have taken the 4th quarter of a title-clinching game and turned it into the Enrique show. Especially when that whole season is widely considered the greatest display of team basketball.

[bklynspursfan]

Love the pass from Kawhi there. Thought he'd finish it himself , but love the 3 man work.

[RD2191]

:claw

[DPG21920]

Beautiful!

[spurs10]

Mills and LMA ...pals getting it done!

[SAGirl]

wow... :wow

[DarrinS]

Nice

[pgardn]

Love the pass from Kawhi there. Thought he'd finish it himself , but love the 3 man work.

And yep.

[Robz4000]

Good response after Toronto started off hitting everything after the half. Should see a lot of Bertans, Murray, and :vomit: Fathead in the fourth.

[DPG21920]

You're not sucking me back in :lol

I'll talk to you about anything but TP.

[SAGirl]

I guess we have learned that LMA to start is slow LMA. Happened last year too. It's a trend :lol
yes...glad that he's trending up. :toast

[DAF86]

What - I'm talking overall about his passing being supported by numbers (and his passes leading to high percentage shots). You can't have poor vision and do that. Not to mention I watch the games as well. With less homer glasses than the guy with an argie flag tbh..

Your problem is thinking I have some kind of bias just because I'm an Argie. Just go check my posting history and see if I'm a Parker hater.

I don't know what numbers you posted but I have already told you that Tony's passing is good on half court sets when he knows that if he plays a pick and roll certain guy will roll to the basket, another will pop up for a jumper, he will have a guy on the corner 3, etc. But that doesn't mean he has good vision, that means that he's great at running the system. On fastbreaks or broken plays he isn't as effective 'cause he doesn't have the vision to identify all the options in a non-structured scenario.

[FkLA]

Best PG on the team with the meaningful pass to LMAlpha. :tu

[Nathan89]

LMA's been hitting all them little hooks around the basket. Something he's not usually great at. Would love to see him improve going forward though.

[sasaint]

This Lamarcus was missing a quarter of a season TBH.

Pop needs to figure out how to motivate LMA.

[Splits]

You're not sucking me back in :lol

I'll talk to you about anything but TP.

Wut? That's all she talks about :lol

[Ron Swanson]

Airballed the FT :lol

[spurs10]

[RD2191]

:lmao embarrassing

[ducks]

Best PG on the team with the meaningful pass to LMAlpha. :tu

Lol no
Raps went on run with patty in in first half

[pgardn]

The logic on here is incredible. It's no secret he's a score first type of PG, he isn't like a Rondo only looking to pass.

But he's taking shots within the flow of the offense and good looks no less. People will just see what they want tbh. It's comical, especially on a night where he's playing so well

I dont get why you guys don't have them on ignore.
Its just tiresome crap from the stooges.

[Kawhitstorm]

I
forgot who said it... spursistan?
He's DWest from 2016 all over again...

At least Pau can protect the rim when he feels like playing defense while D-Worst couldn't even when he tried.

[SASdynasty!]

Patty rewarding.

Great teammate.
Great teammate that has 1/8th the assists of Parker tonight.

[DAF86]

Good response after Toronto started off hitting everything after the half. Should see a lot of Bertans, Murray, and :vomit: Fathead in the fourth.

Murray time :hungry:

[RD2191]

:lmao that sequence

[Ron Swanson]

That would've been a hell of an alley-oop

[spurtech09]

That 3 makes up for that bad fast break.

[ducks]

Patty one assist wow

[spurs10]

Manu to Lee...Simmons to Patty! Wow!

[TheGreatYacht]

Just started watching, LMA and Kawhi are balling according to the box scores.

Is TP playing well? He has 15 & 8 on 66%

[DPG21920]

Boom Mills - love it. Get that confidence up.

[SASdynasty!]

Best PG on the team with the meaningful pass to LMAlpha. :tu
Only 7 assists more to match the actual PG

[Nathan89]

Patty is so selfish... throwing bad passes knowing he'll get the ball back. Sad.

[bklynspursfan]

I dont get why you guys don't have them on ignore.
Its just tiresome crap from the stooges.

I do.. well most of them. But I still see it in quoted responses and can't help myself :( there's no logic with the hate on here from them

[ElNono]

Great 3rd quarter

[Robz4000]

Bench was money in their second stint :tu

[SAGirl]

Nice sequences to end the quarter... :flag:

[RD2191]

In before fathead blows a 30 pt lead

[pgardn]

Patty with the strange alley oop and then doing what he does best.

If Patty can step into a 3 he is money.
Man we need to keep him somehow.

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Killin' these boys....

[DarrinS]

Seems like the the team is building some chemistry.

[DPG21920]

Bench was money in their second stint :tu

Yup - good to see them rebound. When the starters play like this it doesn't matter much, but it's nice to see the group playing well together.

[pgardn]

I do.. well most of them. But I still see it in quoted responses and can't help myself :( there's no logic with the hate on here from them

Same.

Sorry.

[ducks]

Spurs 25 assist raptors 5 Parker 8

[Robz4000]

Just started watching, LMA and Kawhi are balling according to the box scores.

Is TP playing well? He has 15 & 8 on 66%

Best game of the season for him.

[SpurPadre]

TP as 3rd option, taking fewer shots, facilitates, Big Two plays like Big Two=Curbstomping a solid team

[DPG21920]

I want to see some Murray please.

[bdictjames]

Manu's IQ is just fun to watch. Its almost like he's always a play ahead of everybody else. Its pretty awesome to watch.

[pgardn]

Seems like the the team is building some chemistry.

A bad loss does some good things maybe.
