Game Thread: Spurs @ Cavs Jan 21st 730CT brought to you by Kosher Salt

[ElNono]

I have never said this in the history of my life while being a member of Spurstalk...but it is time to bench Ginobili.

This team's defense is fool's gold, don't care what the metrics say. I would rather the Spurs pack the paint as Cleveland isn't even breaking a sweat right now.

He's already coming from the bench...

[TheGreatYacht]

Manu just not hitting, but good looks... that defense tho
You mean efense tbh..

[ducks]

Spurs need to hit threes

[SpursIndonesia]

LOL, the bench with gutless worm mental attitude, especially Patty, if he is afraid to shoot, what is he good for on the court ?? The starting Patty krew. :lmao

[Mnky]

Manu just not hitting, but good looks... that defense tho

Yea we've had a few wide open looks, nothing falling. I don't get why this team starts so cold sometimes. It's like they're trying to prove they don't care about winning or losing for a half.

[wildbill2u]

Nice hustle by Lee

Lee hustles on every play. I love the way he digs in running down the court on offense and defense, putting in the effort and setting a great example. And he laughs a lot on the court, having a great time and that spirit is infectious. What a great pick up he's been compared to some of the veteran bigs we've brought in .

[$pursDynasty]

Wow never seen so much bad D by the Spurs.
But I thought MVParker was the source of Spurs bad defense???

[Nathan89]

Lma is useless when we actually need him.

He's nothing but an extra that is nice to have around your star players. We don't have the play making in our lineup though. Not sure why Pop's plan was to force it to him to start the game.

[sasaint]

Manu is giving the Spurs absolutely nothing.

Bbbbut he is kicking it in the locker room and as a mentor.

[GB20]

I hate to say this but manu has expired with this new nba

[100%duncan]

Really just missed some shots, kawhi with 2 good 3 pt looks, manu with good looks, danny with a good look, and lma shitting the bed per par

[TimDunkem]

Manu seriously needs to retire.

[NASpurs]

Fathead in the game now...

[PopTheGOAT]

Worst defensive rotations I've ever seen from a Spurs team

[bklynspursfan]

Time for a 6-0 run

[ElNono]

Yea we've had a few wide open looks, nothing falling. I don't get why this team starts so cold sometimes. It's like they're trying to prove they don't care about winning or losing for a half.

Yeah, both Kawhi and LMA missed wide open looks too... but there's no excuse for the defense

[TheGreatYacht]

:lmao manu is fucking garbage. Cost us 15 points already

Pop is a senile fuck to keep playing this mummy

[FkLA]

Pop starting his bullshit. Fathead in. :vomit:

[bklynspursfan]

Fathead in the game now...

We'll see it if pays off, but I get nervous when he comes in now

[spurraider21]

kawhi probably heard the story of players not respecting him and he's trying too hard to prove himself tbh... he's been forcing a lot. also lol manu every time he drives right

[100%duncan]

ANDERSHIT :lol

[007nites]

Uh-oh fathead in

[Darius Bieber]

Maybe Fathead can give LeBron a high-five.

[TheGreatYacht]

Manu seriously needs to retire.

[james evans]

holy shit!! they called travel on lebron!!!

[ElNono]

1st quarter meltdowns are hilarious though

[spurtech09]

There you go Manu!!!!!!!

[sasaint]

Manu takes way too many fucking end of quarter shots for his age, tbh.

ONE is too many.

[BatManu20]

Dedmon has to finish those bunnies. Manu finally knocks one down

[NASpurs]

Fathead :wow

[r0drig0lac]

goatyle anderson

[loveforthegame]

Nice block by Anderson.

[FaM0us Skins]

Good block

[spurraider21]

Pop starting his bullshit. Fathead in. :vomit:
:lol

[james evans]

anderson with the block and score

[spurtech09]

Wow Anderson finally doing something.....

[BatManu20]

KA! Both ends

[DAF86]

Where's Bertans?

[spurs10]

Alright!

[100%duncan]

Fathead :wow

[FkLA]

Fathead with best two play sequence of his life :worthy: :wow

[bklynspursfan]

Time for a 6-0 run

7-0.. I'll take it

[PopTheGOAT]

Fathead:wow

[sasaint]

Anderson's two best highlights within about :05! :wow

[Mnky]

Fathead is the weapon x against Cleveland.. :lol

[ElNono]

damn, Lebron makes simms look like a midget

[TheMulletMan3000]

f a t h e a d y e a h

[james evans]

Manu seriously needs to retire.
after this game

[100%duncan]

is it me or was bron 5 sec back to the basket? and is that a rule :lol

[BatManu20]

Danny back in. Kawhi still sitting

[Ron Swanson]

Fuck Steve Javie

[Amuseddaysleeper]

He's already coming from the bench...

:lol

[james evans]

damn, Lebron makes simms look like a midget
yeah, i thought that was Mills guarding him when I first saw it. I thought, "why the fuck is mills guarding Lebron?"

[NASpurs]

4 point game now

[RD2191]

Kyle should retire. It's only downhill from here.

[FaM0us Skins]

Patty!

[r0drig0lac]

trills

[bklynspursfan]

Patty!

[spurtech09]

Patty....Thank you

[Ron Swanson]

Patty!

[NASpurs]

MVPATTY!!!!!!!!!!!

[ElNono]

Patty Thrills, tbh

[RD2191]

Mills. :wow

[Robz4000]

Fathead giving the Spurs great minutes.

[TheMulletMan3000]

Kyle should retire. It's only downhill from here.

my thoughts exactly

[100%duncan]

Patty Thrills :wakeup

[loveforthegame]

Finally some bench production.

[NASpurs]

Shoot the fucking ball ffs

[spurraider21]

:lol danny dribbling

[bklynspursfan]

Terrible pass by Danny. That was a simple pass to Simmons. Idk if it slipped or what

[Vokun]

Good answer :tu

[ElNono]

but but, bench manu and retire him :cry

[spurtech09]

Well Spurs doing much better...

[james evans]

Danny Green really needs to learn to come off that pump fake and score mid range. He's always looking to pass

[Nathan89]

Aldridge just blends in with the bench.

[FkLA]

Fathead :tu

[Cry Havoc]

Thank god Patty is playing well.

[Vokun]

SDN need to start fucking shooting the ball. You ain't in there to dribble fool, you in there to shoot 3s. Just let it fly

[PopTheGOAT]

Danny Green really needs to learn to come off that pump fake and score mid range. He's always looking to pass
Needs a floater tbh

[james evans]

there are certain people in certain games that don't play well together. In this game, early on it's Ginobli and Aldridge

[Mnky]

Fathead..it was good while it lasted. The slowest player on the court can't survive on layups.. shoot it.

[sasaint]

Steve Javie: 9 times out of 10 a ref believes he is right when he blows the whistle. NINE?!?!?! No wonder NBA refs are so TURRIBLE.

[TimDunkem]

Gotta' give credit where credit is due...Fathead is playing well.

[007nites]

Needs a floater tbh

Like Gary Neal

[BatManu20]

is it me or was bron 5 sec back to the basket? and is that a rule :lol

It's still a rule but they rarely ever call it. Has to be egregious

[SpursIndonesia]

Thank god Patty is playing well.

He need to shoot, he HAS to shoot, damn it goes in or not, but he can't be afraid to take the chance & let it fly.

These Cavs are too disciplined to try to be cute with the ball movement, if you are the designated shooter & you are open, the shot has to be taken, no question asked.

[100%duncan]

It's still a rule but they rarely ever call it. Has to be egregious

That had to be 5 seconds right? :lol

[FkLA]

Needs a floater tbh

No, he's too lanky and clumsy for that. He just needs to do what Bowen used to. One/two hard dribbles then pull-up for the jumper.

[NASpurs]

Holy shit that sequence!!

[RD2191]

RJ faggot

[bklynspursfan]

LMA there we go

[Ron Swanson]

LDN

[FaM0us Skins]

Green!

[r0drig0lac]

wow

[loveforthegame]

:tu

[BatManu20]

Verde!

[RD2191]

Nice!

[Vokun]

Holy fuck we need a gif of that last play asap!

[spurtech09]

Nice pass by LMA to Danny.....

[spursistan]

Pop won't match Kawhi/Lebron minutes :lol

[beirmeistr]

go Spurs!

[ElNono]

MVPatty doing MVPatty things

[100%duncan]

YES :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Knew we'd make a run. Didn't know itd be this big

[spurraider21]

LMA :wow

[spurs10]

Verde!!

[Ron Swanson]

17-2 run. Keep pushing.

[FaM0us Skins]

Just like we drew it up

[Cry Havoc]

FUCK RICHARD JEFFERSON

[BatManu20]

Patty! He's brought great defense and energy tonight.

[TheDoctor]

Anderson's two best highlights within about :05! :wow

Those :05 felt like :15 tbh

[100%duncan]

Bron has 2. Nice

[007nites]

Lets fucking go!

[NASpurs]

What a bad offensive set.

[Ron Swanson]

FUCK RICHARD JEFFERSON

[RD2191]

:lol refs

[Cry Havoc]

PATTY FUCKING THRILLS BABY

[HI-FI]

Slomo playing well in MVPau's absence.

[FkLA]

soft shot by LMA

[Mnky]

This is Patty's worth. He single handedly brought the spurs back in it.

[TheMulletMan3000]

great O

[Darius Bieber]

Why take Patty out ffs

[Nathan89]

KA was in perfect position to go vertical there

[spurraider21]

fuckin kyle cant stop reaching

[100%duncan]

Why take Patty out ffs

Pop with micromanagement

[RD2191]

This is Patty's worth. He single handedly brought the spurs back in it.

Lol.

[spurtech09]

Want to see what Bertans can do against the Cavs........

[spursistan]

Aldridge..fuck this soft ass nigga and his pussy style :lmao

[Vokun]

When will LMA ever remember he is 6'11 260 lbs?

[hater]

Lamarcus is a fucking pussy

Ant believe we drag this pussy day in and day out

[FaM0us Skins]

Ball dont lie

[Ron Swanson]

Dijon!

[TheMulletMan3000]

lebron kyles bitch james

[ElNono]

:pop: Patty, you're playing too well, take a seat over here....

[r0drig0lac]

Murray is the man

[FkLA]

Jounte is the fucking truth tbh

[BatManu20]

Dejounte!

[timtonymanu]

Lol all the "House" haters. Microwave nonsense etc

[FaM0us Skins]

Murray!

[RD2191]

DJ

[spurtech09]

Murray just keeps on amazing me.

[Ron Swanson]

Dick got destroyed by Kawhi. :lol

[HI-FI]

Damn Dejauntae

[BatManu20]

Fucking Kyrie

[Vokun]

Uh oh, Irving mad at Murray lol

[NASpurs]

Oh rook, don't worry about it.

[sasaint]

When will LMA ever remember he is 6'11 260 lbs?

On his next team...

[PopTheGOAT]

No, he's too lanky and clumsy for that. He just needs to do what Bowen used to. One/two hard dribbles then pull-up for the jumper.
I could see that being ugly as well lol

[100%duncan]

Kyrie heating up

[bklynspursfan]

Murray left Kyrie then turned it over. Won't be surprised if Pop pulls him

[TheDoctor]

GTFOH Kyrie

[ElNono]

told ya we were gonna get killed by the Tristan Thompsons...

[BatManu20]

There's one of those rookie mistakes by Murray. Hopefully Pop doesn't pull him

[RD2191]

Stfu Thompson

[Robz4000]

Two stupid mistakes in a row and the Cavs reseize the momentum...

[spursparker9]

lol RJ

[spurtech09]

Anderson was wide open in the corner....I guess no one wants to pass it to him.....

[wildbill2u]

Irving teaching young Mr. Murray something about guarding all-stars in the NBA.

[sasaint]

Murray got stripped but at least he didn't give up on the play.

[Mnky]

Lol.

In 7 minutes he scored 7 pts, dished 3 ast, and caused 3 to the cavs...

[Nathan89]

Aldridge..fuck this soft ass nigga and his pussy style :lmao

He can't dribble that's why he did that. That's why he should be our center.

[Vokun]

It's all good DJ

[spursparker9]

bye bye Murray

[99 Problems]

MVPatty tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Bad defense from Murray back-to-back possessions

[100%duncan]

Meh, kyrie was cold to start the game. It was bound to happen.

[FkLA]

Damn Dejauntae

Damn way to ghetto the shit out of his name as if it isn't ghetto enough already. :lol

[Nathan89]

Kawhi should be setting the screen for Murray because his guy isn't going to double Murray.

[TheGreatYacht]

Anderson was wide open in the corner....I guess no one wants to pass it to him.....
Passing to phathead should count as a turnover in the stat sheet

[Ron Swanson]

Where the hell is Lee? Dude was all over the place in the 1st.

[ElNono]

Where the hell is Lee? Dude was all over the place in the 1st.

He was getting dunked all over by Channing Frye, tbh

[Ron Swanson]

Dijon again

[NASpurs]

DM!

[PopTheGOAT]

Way to bounce back rook

[TheDoctor]

Hope Pop doesnt pull Murray. That was a rookie mistake. Learning experience.

[r0drig0lac]

murray carrying these scrubs

[TimDunkem]

Fools already trashing Murray and he's just a rookie. People really expected him to play a perfect game?

Oh look he just scored.

[NASpurs]

:wow roooooooooooooook

[Vokun]

murray carrying these scrubs

[spurtech09]

Anderson with the D......

[FkLA]

Holy shit Murray

[RD2191]

DJ BABY

[loveforthegame]

Murray. :worthy:

[808]

Gdam Dijon!!

[sasaint]

Anderson and Murray!

[100%duncan]

MURRAY

[NASpurs]

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck yeah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[spurtech09]

Murray over Tony Parker.....

[007nites]

MURRAY!

[Ron Swanson]

Holy shit, Dijon

[FaM0us Skins]

10 pts in 10 mins for Murray

[RD2191]

TRADE PARKER

[GSH]

Murray is so far out ahead of expectations. He's gonna make some rookie mistakes. But he's doing a hell of a lot good.

[FkLA]

I'm sorry Porker but your services are no longer needed, tbh.

[spurtech09]

Anderson and Murray!

[Cry Havoc]

:wow MURRAY

[spursparker9]

lol MURRAY!!

[NASpurs]

Fucking Fathead, stop leaving Korver open

[bklynspursfan]

Twice Anderson left korver.

[Ron Swanson]

Korver can go fuck himself with a baseball bat.

[beirmeistr]

porks might as well just stay in san antonio, murray has it under control

[TheDoctor]

Damn Murray :wow

[sasaint]

Murray over Tony Parker.....

Change is coming sooner than many expect.

[RD2191]

FUCK. FUCK

[Vokun]

It's not fucking fair a team like the Cavs can get a shooter like Korver basically for free

[Cry Havoc]

Kawhi bombing away.

[100%duncan]

why is he leaving krover? is he stupid

[daledondale]

DAMN MURRAY

[BatManu20]

Goddammit Fathead. You have one job defensively

[OrEmuN]

Fuck Korver

[HI-FI]

Damn way to ghetto the shit out of his name as if it isn't ghetto enough already. :lol
Yeah, loved the kid from the beginning but I misspell it every time. I'm just gonna say Murray.

[spursparker9]

Kawhi!

[spurtech09]

Murray needs to settle down though.....Forcing it alittle bit...

[RD2191]

This is some bullshit

[ElNono]

fucking fathead... stay on your guy, it's fucking korver

[james evans]

that's 2 open 3s from Anderson

[NASpurs]

Patty guarding Korver and Manu's guarding Kyrie? Suuuuuuuure.

[bklynspursfan]

That's what I talk about with Anderson ball watching sometimes. He played well up until those tho. Just gotta be more aware

[loveforthegame]

Anderson losing Korver.

Lee giving good minutes.

[Ron Swanson]

That's 3 on Lebron?

[BatManu20]

That's 3 on Lebron

[Mnky]

Fathead trying to sabotage Murray's game tbh. :lol

[Vokun]

DJ has shown more in one game than Anderson has his whole career here tbh

[ElNono]

damn LMA, just take it to the rack

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurs vs Cavs >>>>>>>> Worriers vs Cavs

[GSH]

Damn way to ghetto the shit out of his name as if it isn't ghetto enough already. :lol


I'm telling you... call him "Play". It's a hell of a lot easier.

[Nathan89]

Madman Murray is the steal of the draft. Dude has star potential.

[Robz4000]

Fuck Korver. He's looked like shit all season except for his two games against the Spurs.

[spurraider21]

if you're going to talk small forward passers, you gotta also mention iguodala

[RD2191]

fucking fathead... stay on your guy, it's fucking korver

[unleashbaynes]

Murray is gonna be something else

[TheGreatYacht]

DJ has shown more in one game than Anderson has his whole career here tbh
So have Austin Daye and Rasual Butler as well, to be fair

[100%duncan]

Kyle was having a very very good game until he left korver wide open 2 straight possessions

[GSH]

LOL. Fathead made two good plays, and people forget that he's still Fathead.

[100%duncan]

if you're going to talk small forward passers, you gotta also mention iguodala

who were saying that he was definitely the best? lebron?

[spursistan]

Murray is so far out ahead of expectations. He's gonna make some rookie mistakes. But he's doing a hell of a lot good.
way way ahead man! :lol which is a a game changer for this team going forward..

[r0drig0lac]

Fuck Korver. He's looked like shit all season except for his two games against the Spurs.

[100%duncan]

That's 3 on Lebron

Gonna be big later on, if we capitalize

[Ron Swanson]

Shoot the damn ball, Manu

[RD2191]

WTF Kawhi

[Vokun]

Godamn you Manure, I mean fucking seriously

[spurtech09]

Shoot the BALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[BatManu20]

Come on Manu. Pull the trigger

[spurraider21]

who were saying that he was definitely the best? lebron?they were just talking about other great SF passers besides lebron. they mentioned bird, pippen, then mark jackson threw out mcgrady and vince carter

[100%duncan]

fuckign manu

[007nites]

lol Manu

[TheDoctor]

Fathead trying to sabotage Murray's game tbh. :lol

Won't be surprised if Phathead breaks one of Murray's fingers too.

[RD2191]

This is frustrating to watch

[GSH]

way way ahead man! :lol which is a a game changer for this team going forward..


It really could be. My concern from day one was the 1 and the 5. Murray spices up the 1.

[ElNono]

killing us on the P&R...
