PER ESPN:

The Spurs have scored 100 points in 18 consecutive games, the team's longest such streak since 1995 (22 games in a row). Kawhi Leonard has scored 30 or more points in four straight games and is the first Spurs player to do so since Tim Duncan in 2004. Can Leonard extend his streak? A player has reached 30 points against the Nuggets, the Spurs' opponent tonight, 17 times this season

[r0drig0lac]

looking for the LMA vs Jokic duel

[Robz4000]

Pop better not get any ideas about resting anyone; practice what you preach and respect the opposition.

[DPG21920]

Jokic has been so damn good. He's a joy to watch and it would be sick (even though it's never happening) to have him on the Spurs.

[Robz4000]

Pop not taking the opposition seriously again.

[dabom]

Is Patty going to start?

[spurtech09]

Now Tony is out with an ankle injury.How did he hurt his ankle?

[RD2191]

How did he hurt his ankle?

Out:Old

[Robz4000]

Just glad Green and Kawhi are ok. They both seemed to hurt their hands/fingers the other night.

[TheDoctor]

How did he hurt his ankle?

Probably tweak it leaving a Whataburger tbh.

His weight doesn't help either.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Rest up TP, we need the same TP we've seen the past few weeks in the PO's.

Resting up for Kyrie

[RD2191]

Resting up for Kyrie

Is he resting his asshole?

[TheGreatYacht]

Resting up for Kyrie
Hopefully Pop matches their minutes. Can't have him blowing by the microwave

[wildbill2u]

How did he hurt his ankle?

When Pop filled out the lineup for the game.

[FkLA]

lol at left foot pain

Has there ever been a player that sits out with as many soft ass injuries as this soft Frenchie?

[Ron Swanson]

Now Pau is out?

[ace3g]

Pau hurt his finger in layup line pregame?

[RD2191]

Crofl Pau "injured" pregame

[FkLA]

Glad we get to see the future at PG though, tbh.

[Robz4000]

Great, Gasol gonna be out a while if he broke his finger.

[Arcadian]

I saw Pau walk off the court with a cut on his hand in pregame.

[NASpurs]

:lmao Gasoft hurting his finger in the pregame warm ups

[RD2191]

DG

[Ron Swanson]

Danny WTF are you doing?

[spurtech09]

Now Pau is out?I think so .......

[Robz4000]

:lol Spurs are gonna find a way to lose this one

[sasaint]

Gonna play the whole first quarter in their end of the court? :wow

[spurtech09]

I saw Pau walk off the court with a cut on his hand in pregame.Really? Did it look bad?

[wildbill2u]

Gives Murray a chance for extended minutes against a wounded Denver.

[FkLA]

Jounte :wow

[r0drig0lac]

Murray ...

[TheGreatYacht]

Green is a god damn embarrassment

[BillMc]

These injuries to Pau and Tony real? Or Pop resting people? Just woke up and saw they weren't playing

[RD2191]

WTF Kawhi

[NASpurs]

Swing the ball Danny, that's why you're on the bench now.

[$pursDynasty]

Getting murdered on the boards

[Arcadian]

Really? Did it look bad?

It was maybe 2 inches long. Might need stitches. (The cameraman zoomed in on it really close, shown on League Pass)

[sasaint]

We need us some Deadman ASAP.

[RD2191]

Fuck Kawhi cooling off

[dabom]

Green dribbling. :lol

[Ron Swanson]

Three of our own players fighting each other for a rebound. :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

D-League:lmao

[spurtech09]

Spurs need to work on there defense.

[NASpurs]

D Lee carrying these scrubs

[beirmeistr]

Is he resting his asshole?

hilarious

[TheGreatYacht]

Lmao all the ISO'ing. It's like Paddy is PG

[spurtech09]

It was maybe 2 inches long. Might need stitches. (The cameraman zoomed in on it really close, shown on League Pass)
wow that sucks.....

[wildbill2u]

Swing the ball Danny, that's why you're on the bench now.

Don't know why Pop got so upset with Danny over the really smooth behind the back dribble on a drive. Danny has been working on that move all year. But maybe Pop took him out for a congratulatory heart to heart.

[NASpurs]

:lmao det defense

[$pursDynasty]

Yea we don't need Tony look how smoothly the offense is running :rolleyes ( sarcasm)

[TheGreatYacht]

On par for an 18pt quarter :lmao

This team without its best player, HOTS lmfao

[RD2191]

Man, our defense is pitiful.

[FkLA]

Fuck Kawhi cooling off

Don't be blasphemous, tbh.

[Robz4000]

Spurs are a mess right now. Not sure what happened during New Years but the team has looked shaky as a whole since then outside Parker, Kawhi, and LMA.

[FkLA]

It's so refreshing to watch a Spurs game without a hero at PG. :toast

[NASpurs]

D Lee carrying these scrubs

[RD2191]

Don't be blasphemous, tbh.

Stephen A?

MVPatty to the rescue, bet. :lol

Dijon trey!

[BillMc]

I can't believe there are people on ST who don't want to re-sign David Lee. Such effort off the bench is contagious

[NASpurs]

Murray is becoming automatic from three nowadays :wow

I hope he breaks out with a 20+ point game.

[FkLA]

I've seen enough. Murray > Porker.

[TheGreatYacht]

Damn even Murray has a better shot than phathead

[spurtech09]

Murray is very active.......

[RD2191]

I've seen enough. Murray > Porker.

Best frontcourt player on the court right now

[Ron Swanson]

Jameer tried to shake and bake and got shit on. :lol

[dabom]

I've seen enough. Murray > Porker.

:lol

[james evans]

i think Murray is gonna be ok

[wildbill2u]

Murray probably got some assurance from pop that he'd play big minutes tonight and he's playing with no apparent nervousness or hesitation. Playing with confidence makes a lot of difference.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs are a mess right now. Not sure what happened during New Years but the team has looked shaky as a whole since then outside Parker, Kawhi, and LMA.

Dude they're playing without 2 starters today. :lol.

[Robz4000]

D-League Danny stopped playing defense.:wakeup

That's one of the issues. Manu and Patty just not playing well at either end has hurt a lot too. Dedmon has also come back down to Earth a bit, though he's looked good as of late again.

[timtonymanu]

Kawhi + Murray 2 years from now :wow

[Leetonidas]

Murray and Leonard are gonna be a sick duo in a few years imo

[DarrinS]

David Lee was a great pickup. Dedmon too.

[Robz4000]

Dude they're playing without 2 starters today. :lol.

I'm not talking about today. In general they've been below par.

[FkLA]

Man, this nigga Murray is going to be special. :wow

[FkLA]

Murray and Leonard are gonna be a sick duo in a few years imo

Kawhi-LMA-Murray Big Three tbh

[Robz4000]

:lmao Mills

[bklynspursfan]

Rest up TP, we need the same TP we've seen the past few weeks in the PO's.

Yup. More importantly in Saturdays big game. I like the move by Pop

[bklynspursfan]

:lol Spurs are gonna find a way to lose this one

No, they're not.

[timtonymanu]

Patty ruining his free throw %

[bklynspursfan]

Lee is a bad boy.

[beirmeistr]

David Lee was a great pickup. Dedmon too.

I agree

[Ron Swanson]

Juuuuuuuuuuuuice

[r0drig0lac]

Simms!!!!

[FkLA]

Yup. More importantly in Saturdays big game. I like the move by Pop

Irving is going to feast on the Pork, unfortunately.

[spurtech09]

Nice dunk

[Robz4000]

Any news on Gasol?

[RD2191]

Damn that was dirty.

[FkLA]

This game is lacking some Bertans, tbh.

[BillMc]

Want me some Bertans playing time

[bklynspursfan]

I can't believe there are people on ST who don't want to re-sign David Lee. Such effort off the bench is contagious

Yea it's pretty funny. Most of those people are the ones who want the youth movement. Which is fine, but you need vets. Lee just does too many things well

[FkLA]

WTF is Pop doing with Bertans? LMA plays the entire 1st Qtr and starts the 2nd Qtr? WTF.

[bklynspursfan]

Irving is going to feast on the Pork, unfortunately.

Cool story bro

[TheGreatYacht]

Kind of hard to keep a lead without a PG, tbh..

[Robz4000]

Green has become a scrub on defense.

[spurtech09]

Want me some Bertans playing time

[RD2191]

WTF is this shit?

[TheGreatYacht]

No player gets more passes than D-League Danny

[RD2191]

Time to bench DG

[Robz4000]

Great, Gasol out for a month.

[picnroll]

Green sucking

[FkLA]

Gasol broken fourth metacarpal :wow

[Leetonidas]

Pau broken finger wtf

[spurtech09]

Wow Pau has something broken in his hand.....Just great...

[SpursIndonesia]

Green is a disaster right now, offensively AND defensively. :bang

[Nathan89]

Hopefully the Spurs target somebody with Pau going down.

[ace3g]

Jeff Platt Jeffplatt
(https://twitter.com/jeffplatt) 45s (https://twitter.com/jeffplatt/status/822264753296916480) Fractured left fourth metacarpal for Pau Gasol.

[BillMc]

Good to see that Pop's hair plugs have settled in well enough that he can comb it straight back. :lol

[SpursIndonesia]

Gasol broken fourth metacarpal :wow

At least that's not his shooting hand, right ? left hand ?

[james evans]

how the fuck did Gasol break his hand in the shootaround? wtf

[dabom]

Hopefully the Spurs target somebody with Pau going down.

Dedmontostart

[RD2191]

Lol. Losing Pau is addition by subtraction. Calm down faggots.

[NASpurs]

Dedmontostart


Lol. Losing Pau is addition by subtraction. Calm down faggots.

[Kawhitstorm]

Broken metacarpal on Pau's left hand, same ask Choke-P's injury against the Blazers.

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurs have been without Green the whole season, and now Gasol is out indefinitely?!?!

[Leetonidas]

Time for Lee/Dedmon/Bertans to step up

[FkLA]

WTF is Pop doing with Bertans? LMA plays the entire 1st Qtr and starts the 2nd Qtr? WTF.

[RD2191]

Why does Lafatcus look so depressed?

[Robz4000]

LMA has played the entire fucking game. What the hell Pop?

[spurtech09]

At least that's not his shooting hand, right ? left hand ?YES

[BillMc]

Well all the Pau haters on here got their wish. Dedmon or Lee will be starting awhile.

[dabom]

Time for Lee/Dedmon/Bertans to step up
BillMc

[DarrinS]

Any news on Gasol?

Broken vaj. Got it from Porker.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Good to see that Pop's hair plugs have settled in well enough that he can comb it straight back. :lol

Exactly what I'm saying :lol

[FkLA]

LMA has played the entire fucking game. What the hell Pop?

No shit. I don't know why nobody else has noticed it.

[spurtech09]

Time for Lee/Dedmon/Bertans to step up

[Robz4000]

:lmao he's still fucking in

[TheGreatYacht]

:lol at people realistically expecting Dedmon to start

He lived and died with Bonner and West before. He'll do the same with Lee

[BillMc]

BillMc (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=16431)

Hopefully our boy Davis gets some floor time.


Exactly what I'm saying :lol

Much more successful than LeBron's tbh. :lol

[lefty20]

WTF is Pop doing with Bertans? LMA plays the entire 1st Qtr and starts the 2nd Qtr? WTF.

LMA burning them calories

[NASpurs]

We got the good Manu tonight

[FvckMavs]

Can we unretire some old guy now?

[BillMc]

Broken metacarpal on Pau's left hand, same ask Choke-P's injury against the Blazers.

Bring TD back for a month. :toast

[ElNono]

We got the good Manu tonight

slow down, Beavis... some fan in 4th row will get a ball to take home tonight :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Great, Gasol out for a month.

Pau can play through it, Karl Malone did.

Pau also fractured his metacarpal in his left hand last season & played w/ a hand brace:

Microwave Paddy taking advantage of no Parker :wow

0's across the board and a -8

[spurtech09]

Spurs need to sign another big now that Pau is out with a broken finger....either that or go small...(SMALL BALL)

[FkLA]

Wow, Pop is being a huge faggot with Bertans right now. Playing a 3-man bigman rotation as if Bertans hasn't proven himself to be a capable NBA player.

[NASpurs]

Holy shit pass from Manu :wow

[r0drig0lac]

Magic Manu

[ElNono]

Porker not freezing out Manu = ball movement, tbh...

[Robz4000]

Lee, Manu, and Murray :tu

The rest :td

great pass from gino

Wow, Pop is being a huge faggot with Bertans right now. Playing a 3-man bigman rotation as if Bertans hasn't proven himself to be a capable NBA player.

:wow

How is that possible? In a layup line?
Well.... more Davis time I think... Dedmon gets a lot of opportunities to grow up too.

Too bad for Pau he will take time to get back in game shape... and he never got that agile to begin with...

[Arcadian]

Well all the Pau haters on here got their wish. Dedmon or Lee will be starting awhile.

That'd be awesome if Dedmon took over at starting center and stayed there. (Not a Pau hater, but a Dedmon fan)

[james evans]

damn, they're playing the dirty version of "jump around" on tv??

[SAGirl]

Hopefully the Spurs target somebody with Pau going down.
I think they might just do that...

[Robz4000]

:lol refs again

[Nathan89]

Just realized how out shape Pau is going to comeback in.

[FkLA]

Seriously why the fuck is Popabitch treating my nigga Bertans like a scrub?

[r0drig0lac]

clean block

[bklynspursfan]

Probably forgot he's even on the bench...

Yea he forgot 0_o. Just cause you guys don't know why he's not playing doesn't mean there isn't a reason. Be it matchup, lack of grasping what they wanna do, etc... Lot happens behind the scenes

[Robz4000]

LMA is gonna have to play 40 mins tonight at the rate the refs are going in on Dedmon.

[Robz4000]

Yea he forgot 0_o. Just cause you guys don't know why he's not playing doesn't mean there isn't a reason. Be it matchup, lack of grasping what they wanna do, etc... Lot happens behind the scenes

Next time I'll put it in blue font...

[BillMc]

Dedmon and Davis. I want more D &D than a nerd on Saturday night.

[Kawhitstorm]

Trade Pau for TOSB Chandler, he has been ballin' out in 2017 & just owned Tristan Thompson tonight.

[Ron Swanson]

Dedmon and Davis. I want more D &D than a nerd on Saturday night.

:lol

[RD2191]

:lmao mills

[r0drig0lac]

Nikola is a monster

[Ron Swanson]

Simmons should've taken the shot instead of passing out to Mills.

[ElNono]

good job Bertrans.... straight from the Zaza Pachulia school of dirty tricks

[spurtech09]

ok Bertans didn't even hurt him?

[r0drig0lac]

Pop?

[Ron Swanson]

Pop's ready to deuce the fuck out of this game.

[ElNono]

lmao Pop

[RD2191]

:lmao annual toss

[Robz4000]

Pop decides to not coach tonight.

[Leetonidas]

:lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

:lmao mills
Midget Tony Wroten tbh

[spurtech09]

Wow Pop is pissed....

[bklynspursfan]

Next time I'll put it in blue font...

Oops. Hard to tell here man.

[FkLA]

Yea he forgot 0_o. Just cause you guys don't know why he's not playing doesn't mean there isn't a reason. Be it matchup, lack of grasping what they wanna do, etc... Lot happens behind the scenes

Do you have your own opinion about anything regarding the Spurs? You're a blind follower that never questions anything.

[DAF86]

Pop just wanted to get out of there. :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Was that mudiay mocking to throw Pop out? What a Clown lol

[Mnky]

What's Murray looking like? Legitimate points, or cleanup gimmies? What about the defense? I'm missing the game tonight.

[r0drig0lac]

Dejounte >>>

[Nathan89]

I thought Murray couldn't shoot?

[BillMc]

Calculated move by Pop.

[Ron Swanson]

Mudiay :lol

[loveforthegame]

:tu

[james evans]

Pop just didn't want to be there.. As soon as he was ejected, he was calm. We've seen this game before

[wildbill2u]

Pop getting ejected on purpose to give an assistant a chance to coach the game. :toast

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Calculated move by Pop.

Alwaysis:lol

[r0drig0lac]

great defense

[bklynspursfan]

Dam Juice lol.

[sasaint]

Murray's 3-ball is night-and-day from SL. :wow

[spurtech09]

Another bail out call by the REFS.....

[bklynspursfan]

Pop getting ejected on purpose to give an assistant a chance to coach the game. :toast

That and hopefully light a fire under these guys, sans Lee

[ElNono]

Thuggets will remember they're tanking sooner or later

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi was determined to take that shot, but Simmons was open cutting, and Bertans right behind for an open 3.

I know it'll come for him. The court vision that's needed for his game to get to the next level

[Robz4000]

Just remembered I have to do grades tonight too. Son of a bitch.

[FkLA]

What's Murray looking like? Legitimate points, or cleanup gimmies? What about the defense? I'm missing the game tonight.

Looking legit. Attacking the rim and has hit two threes (a third one rattled out).

Definitely a better option than Porker at PG, tbh.

[BillMc]

Murray's 3-ball is night-and-day from SL. :wow

Truth.

[Nathan89]

Murray is just a matter of time from being really good if this isn't fluke 3pt shooting. They've all looked good so he's probably progressing significantly with his shot. His defense has a long ways to go but at least he has the tools.
