I am very disappointed that Dijon's sprained ankle will keep him out of the game tonight. He might have gotten some decent minutes as well as spelled guys playing at extremely high altitude.

Sup Rob! make sure you park that scooter in a safe place around the arena :lol..

[SPURt]

I think this is on NBAtv not ESPN. Which freaking sucks because my cable provider doesn't have a deal in place for NBAtv (Charter Spectrum). League Pass is ass when a larger portion than I'd like of Spurs games end up on NBAtv. Balls.

Hopefully the building doesn't catch on fire this time.

With both Patty and Dejounte out we really need a good game from Manu and Simmons

Why don't we send Anderson to the dleague?

[spursistan]

Going to run geezers Parker/Ginobili into the ground in altitude..No good..

[spursistan]

This game has suddenly become interesting..Spurs could be in trouble if TP/Manu are having one of those TOSBy nights... Should also consider the fact that the Suns have been there in Mexico for a week and better acclimated to the altitude by now..

[Chinook]

Why is Patty out? Can find nothing to say he's not playing.

Our new Cho Cho will take care of business.

Yeah, while nothing serious so far, but I'm just annoyed by these minor injuries that keeps disrupting our chemistry-building..

[Leetonidas]

Lol please don't tell me Pop called up Forbes to run backup PG

[MaNu4Tres]

Lol please don't tell me Pop called up Forbes to run backup PG

Anderson and Manu will split duties probably.

On defense, Simmons defends the PG, Manu defends SG, Anderson defends SF

On offense, Manu and Anderson split PG duty and Simmons plays the wing or SF if you want to label it.

[TXstbobcat]

[Boogie Munster]

Why don't we send Anderson to another team?

i spent 5 days in Mexico City with the girlfriend a few years ago. Lovely place. Really beautiful city.
My wife has family there.
We go at least once a year. Hate the traffic, love everything else. Now I need to buckle down on that spanglish...

I love going to those tiny towns in the mountains... you can't find that kind of atmosphere in America.

I agree. It's my favorite place in Mexico (though I've only been to Mazatlan, Cancun, Tijuana and some little border towns). Fantastic little places around the city. We had such a nice time on the canals (south?) of the city too. In fact, we had such a nice time that my girlfriend decided she wanted to learn Spanish, moved to Spain, and left me for some dude she met there. :depressed

Oh, well. Better to be single here anyway. :lol

Too bad we're missing two guards. At this altitude we're going to need depth.

[TheGreatYacht]

I fucking hate post up offense. Get this "Yesterday's NBA" bullshit outta here

[RD2191]

I have a crazy idea? How about we get the ball to our best player?

I hate when Pop does this. It just puts too much pressure on the bench.

Dedmon took about two steps before he put the ball down.

Dedmon is our NUMERO UNO resigning priority next summer, PERIOD !!

Just getting caught up, at the first sub. Pop shouldve tried Bertrans at the 3. Need the floor spacing

[RD2191]

Dribble dribble dribble

[BatManu20]

Played like shit the first half, the Suns played well, and we're still tied.

[myhc]

Tied at the end of 1 even with all the TOs.

Terrible shit from Pop. I hope pop doesn't think this is a winning formula for the playoffs.

Parker knows he gotta score with no Paddy today tbh.

With Forbes & Bertans in the game, why does Manu keep on shooting from waaay outside ??

[spursistan]

Get Kawhi back in there you old fart and stop your micromanaging BS....

[james evans]

And I'm wrong for saying I don;t want to see a 40 year old Ginobli in a spurs uniform? When it's time to go, it's time to go..

It's good to be a Spurs fan. We get D Rob and Timmy in the golden age of bigs and now Kawhi Leonard when wings are the most valuable assets in the league. Kawhi is growing into something special right in front of our eyes. Awesome.

[sasaint]

This might be the worst game I've seen from Simmons. Terrible on both ends.

He started well. He came in and hit his first shot, and I thought he was gonna have a very good game. He is constantly playing D from behind his man...

[From Downtown]

Missed basically half of the 1st and watched the rest on my phone, but from what I've been able to see Kawhi is playing really well, the rest of the starting 5 not so much
As for the bench I'm digging the way Kyle's playing, Lee and Dedmon have been good as always, Simmons and Bertans are struggling, Manu is going too fast at times, but he brought the energy we needed on both ends

[SAGirl]

He started well. He came in and hit his first shot, and I thought he was gonna have a very good game. He is constantly playing D from behind his man...
And the TO.... though Manus were worse... bc guys were clearly not open... still both made plays... Simmons stole the ball a few times, Manu drew fouls and got a 3 I think... just got to clean up errors in the 2nd half...

[myhc]

:lol PJ Tucker is such shit.

You mean PJ "nachos" Tucker? lol

[sasaint]

And the TO.... though Manus were worse... bc guys were clearly not open... still both made plays... Simmons stole the ball a few times, Manu drew fouls and got a 3 I think... just got to clean up errors in the 2nd half...

Manu's 30-foot fastball directly to a Sun defender. Smh!

I hope the first unit comes out with better focus and intensity in the 3rd quarter than it did in the 1st.

Gawd dammit

Kawhi looking more and more like MJ by the day. That was eerily reminiscent of Jordan.

Kawhi and Tony are the only ones who came to play today

[myhc]

Kawhi giving them the BUSINESS

[Vokun]

Kawhi is a fucking beast

[Robz4000]

Well they were up by double digits.....

A ten point lead is not a blowout.

Outside Kawhi the team is just not putting forth the neccessary mental effort to win this game, though Kawhi dominating may just be enough against these shitty Suns.

[spurtech09]

Would be nice if Kawhi had some help out there.
