[gambit1990]

Why? There goes all your posting material, faggot
triggered :lol

[pgardn]

Wow, 14 steals+blocks and we're only halfway through the second quarter?

Westbrook style assures steals and TOs.

Can we hold them under 40 before half...

[TheGreatYacht]

Fatty Mills lmfao

[Robz4000]

Yep, fouls racking up and the team can't find their offense.

[TheGreatYacht]

triggered :lol
27yr old X-Men fan :lol

[$pursDynasty]

Thunderefs making a run when microwave got plugged in the 2nd

[Horse]

Refs keeping these cunts in it as always

[ElNono]

come on refs

[GSH]

Well he's definitely not Arvydis.

[NASpurs]

Parker, Aldridge and Dedmon are going to foul out tonight apparently.

[Leetonidas]

Wtf is with this foul fest. Hour into the game and we have 4 minutes til half still

[GSH]

Yep, fouls racking up and the team can't find their offense.

It changes the momentum, for sure.

[GSH]

THAT's the Simmons I like!!! Take it right to Westbrook.

[ElNono]

El Jugo!

[NASpurs]

Sabonis with 5 TOs already? :lol geez

[$pursDynasty]

Wow Pop benches the microwave and let's Manu run point

[TheGreatYacht]

Fathead will NEVER be Simmons

[Horse]

Why are the zebras so bad every time we play these fucks?

[sasaint]

Juice!

[ElNono]

Parker, Aldridge and Dedmon are going to foul out tonight apparently.

Hope not. We need LMA and Dedmon, tbh...

[DarrinS]

THAT's the Simmons I like!!! Take it right to Westbrook.

:tu

[$pursDynasty]

No Dijon though?

[DarrinS]

Hope not. We need LMA and Dedmon, tbh...

:lmao I saw what you did there

[pgardn]

THAT's the Simmons I like!!! Take it right to Westbrook.

Next he will travel, double dribble and get called for an offensive foul in the same possession. So talented but it just has not made it upstairs.

[ElNono]

No Dijon though?

only at HEB

[$pursDynasty]

Nono we need all 3

[BillMc]

Despite the fouls, this has been the best game from Dedmon in awhile.

[NASpurs]

Hope not. We need LMA and Dedmon, tbh...

:lol

[ElNono]

Nono we need all 3

come on, it was left there right for the taking... :lol

[BillMc]

only at HEB
:lol

[TheGreatYacht]

:lmao I saw what you did there
Seemed pretty obvious, dumb fuck :lol

[Ice009]

I missed Simmons. This team is desperate for players that can get to the rim and finish.

You got clowns like Patty Mills passing up open layups. He should be benched a full game for that.

[gambit1990]

27yr old X-Men fan :lol
i guess you don't wanna talk about tony parker's 1st half.

[$pursDynasty]

Up by 19when HOTS went out

[pgardn]

So fn out of control the refs can't keep up...

[gambit1990]

Hope not. We need LMA and Dedmon, tbh...
:lol

[ElNono]

At least a 5-6 point swing by dem refs

[sasaint]

Despite the fouls, this has been the best game from Dedmon in awhile.

Yes. Very good to see.

[sasaint]

Nice rebound tip-out by Bertans.

[TheGreatYacht]

Parker gone, lead gone. Can't say I'm surprised

[loveforthegame]

:claw

[ElNono]

this kid Kaywi can play

[ElNono]

Parker gone, lead gone. Can't say I'm surprised

You might want to forward the DVR, we're up 11... (sorry for the spoiler)

[GSH]

Hope not. We need LMA and Dedmon, tbh...


LOL. You can just take the rest of the game off. Classic.

[BillMc]

Kawhlight Zone.

[Robz4000]

This game showing why I think OKC can beat the Spurs in the first round tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

You might want to forward the DVR, we're up 11... (sorry for the spoiler)
Was 19 when he came out. It was an 8pt game when I posted that.

[GSH]

Despite the fouls, this has been the best game from Dedmon in awhile.

One was a pretty bad foul, but the other two I can live with. He played much better.

[NASpurs]

Fuck no good

[RD2191]

Damn. That was almost in.

[loveforthegame]

Damn that was nice. Too bad it doesn't count.

[ElNono]

Was 19 when he came out. It was an 8pt game when I posted that.

It's still a lead... these niglets are getting to the line like there's no tomorrow...

[timtonymanu]

Another halftime +10 lead. If Spurs end up blowing this game too, that would be fucking awful

[ElNono]

Defense was great that half. You play the same D the 2nd half and we win this

[sasaint]

Was 19 when he came out. It was an 8pt game when I posted that.

Really was a 16-pt lead when Tony came out - it was 18, but Westbrook was at the line, and he sank both FTs.

[Strategic]

Hoping the Spurs don't shit the bed in the 3rd quarter

[TheGreatYacht]

Sean and Bill calling for a vote.... in Texas? :lol

Texans would vote for a monkey as long as he has a bible

[BillMc]

Damn. That was almost in.

Ah, how many Saturday nights have I said those words.

[BillMc]

Defense was great that half. You play the same D the 2nd half and we win this

Yep

[DarrinS]

Parker gone, lead gone. Can't say I'm surprised

Spurs really could've used his world class defense :lol

[DPG21920]

Defense was great that half. You play the same D the 2nd half and we win this

Yup. I am thrilled with the defense I am seeing tonight. Very disciplined, everyone moving and rotating and a couple of tough calls vs our guys (nothing egregious but a couple tough calls you would like to see SA get at home).

[DPG21920]

i guess you don't wanna talk about tony parker's 1st half.

Wait - when TP shoots (efficiently) you cry. Tonight, he shoots 3 times to Kawhi's 13 (on a terrible 38% FG) and you complain?

[timtonymanu]

This game showing why I think OKC can beat the Spurs in the first round tbh.

What are you seeing that you think this way? Edit: in before Spurs end up losing this game

[Robz4000]

What are you seeing that you think this way? Edit: in before Spurs end up losing this game

Refs and overwhelming athleticism. If the Spurs can defend like this all series they'll win, but it'll be tiring. I'd like to see their offense start rolling.

[TheGreatYacht]

Wait - when TP shoots (efficiently) you cry. Tonight, he shoots 3 times to Kawhi's 13 (on a terrible 38% FG) and you complain?
You're arguing with an Argie with a mullet

[DPG21920]

Can we hold them under 40 before half...


Refs and overwhelming athleticism. If the Spurs can defend like this all series they'll win, but it'll be tiring. I'd like to see their offense start rolling.

Spurs are getting decent enough looks. But Kawhi really inefficient on a lot of shots hurts. But SA is getting good enough looks.

[BillMc]

Yup. I am thrilled with the defense I am seeing tonight. Very disciplined, everyone moving and rotating and a couple of tough calls vs our guys (nothing egregious but a couple tough calls you would like to see SA get at home).
This

[DPG21920]

:lmao Roberson shooting

[Strategic]

Nice start

[DPG21920]

Nice LMA way to come out and take a wet hot steaming Gambitt on them .

[loveforthegame]

Nice start to the 3rd. :tu

[Strategic]

:lmao Roberson shooting He's imposing his skill

[DPG21920]

Danny still confident which I love. He's been really solid on defense too, but he's still taking transition pull up 3's.

[BillMc]

When LMA gets going this team really looks invincible.

[sasaint]

Yup. I am thrilled with the defense I am seeing tonight. Very disciplined, everyone moving and rotating and a couple of tough calls vs our guys (nothing egregious but a couple tough calls you would like to see SA get at home).

:tu I am thrilled, too. But it also makes me even more frustrated about the Pels and Mavs games, tbh.

[DPG21920]

He's imposing his skill

Haha - makes me so mad at his fluke shooting in the playoffs against us. So annoying.

[DPG21920]

:tu I am thrilled, too. But it also makes me even more frustrated about the Pels and Mavs games, tbh.

Make like Elsa and Let It Go.

[NASpurs]

Aldridge jumped into Adams and kind of whiffed... but I'm not going to complain :lol

[Robz4000]

Great start to the half.

[sasaint]

Deadman with the block on the defensive end and then the first Spur Dow the floor on offense. Just great energy!

[DPG21920]

that was an awful call for LMA btw. Terrible.

[ElNono]

LMAO Pop going off on Tony

[sasaint]

Make like Elsa and Let It Go.

A win tonight would rid me of that foul aftertaste!

[gambit1990]

Wait - when TP shoots (efficiently) you cry. Tonight, he shoots 3 times to Kawhi's 13 (on a terrible 38% FG) and you complain?
the game's on. and even after it's over, i'm not wasting my time on you.

[DPG21920]

the game's on. and even after it's over, i'm not wasting my time on you.

Then why did you respond to me?

[TheGreatYacht]

Then why did you respond to me?
To deflect

[Robz4000]

Even without Kanter the Spurs are struggling rebounding the ball. Hopefully Gasol fixes those issues but he's a pretty poor defensive rebounder against physicality.

[gambit1990]

Then why did you respond to me?
i responded because you were trying to call me out :lol

now fuck off.

[DPG21920]

i responded because you were trying to call me out :lol

That literally makes no sense. Why does me responding to one of your comments trigger you?

[Horse]

Fucking refs

[RD2191]

Green is trash.

[GSH]

Aaaaand the Danny Green brick. Dammit.

[timtonymanu]

Smh when you expect Green to miss his 3s

[spurs10]

Thunderefs!

[loveforthegame]

These refs. :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

If drunk ass PATFO doesn't ship Danny :lmao

[GSH]

Westbrook has only been to the line 9 times so far? These zebras are gonna be busy here in the second half.

[RD2191]

If drunk ass PATFO doesn't ship Danny :lmao

TBH

[ElNono]

The crappy thing with this lineup is that Westbrook is basically roaming. I guess they're not really scared of TP hitting 3s

[GSH]

Smh when you expect Green to miss his 3s

Yeah, I saw that pass go to him in the corner, and my first thought was, "Well shit, blew that possession."

[sasaint]

The Aldridge split, per par.

[Robz4000]

I don't see how Murray doesn't get minutes at this point.

[RD2191]

Green :lmao

[NASpurs]

They're trapping Kawhi on the pick and rolls.

[cd98]

Man LMA has lost his jumper.

[TheGreatYacht]

TOSB Green :lmao

[timtonymanu]

Fucking turnobili

[ElNono]

Westbrook has only been to the line 9 times so far? These zebras are gonna be busy here in the second half.

you called it

[cd98]

Westbrook on Parade

[RD2191]

4 SOLID PTS BY OUR STARTING BACK COURT TONIGHT. HELLLLLLS YEAH. FINALS HERE WE COME.

[Robz4000]

:lol these calls don't even surprise me anymore

[SpurPadre]

and cue the choke

[Chris]

Thunderef:lol

[ElNono]

hopefully MVPelon can rebuild this lead

[TheGreatYacht]

Manure cancering it up on both ends

[timtonymanu]

I don't see how Murray doesn't get minutes at this point.

Pop running his tired out philosophies that only worked last decade. Murray should be getting minutes especially a good test against Westbrook. But I guess he has to "get over himself."

[cd98]

If drunk ass PATFO doesn't ship Danny :lmao Did RC get another DWI?

[DPG21920]

How many missed FT's is that?

[spurs10]

Thunder smelling blood

[Chris]

Manu free throw :lol

[NASpurs]

Spurs blew their load in the first half, I wonder what Poop's excuse is going to be tonight if they lose.

[Robz4000]

:rollin this team

[RD2191]

:lmao this choke job

[GSH]

OKC playing physical as hell and drawing no whistles. They own the middle right now.

[ace3g]

#OffensiveSlump ...

[spurs10]

Our MO.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck this pathetic lazy team

[ElNono]

LMA trying a turnobili pass... smh

Did Parker fuck a teammates wife or something?

[$pursDynasty]

Put MVParker back in

[cd98]

Mills is the Long 2 king

[TheGreatYacht]

Manure :lmao

[timtonymanu]

Gasol is that fucking important huh?

[ducks]

Did pop hear trumps pick
Get your ass on coaching not trump

[Darius Bieber]

Anyone who still thinks we are a contender is an idiot

[RD2191]

4 SOLID PTS BY OUR STARTING BACK COURT TONIGHT. HELLLLLLS YEAH. FINALS HERE WE COME.

^^^^^^^^

[Chris]

gg Thunderef

[NASpurs]

:lmao fuck this

[boutons_deux]

spurs suck

[unleashbaynes]

Dude, wtf?

[DPG21920]

Pop needs a timeout man.

[sasaint]

Just a ton of risky passes.

[TheGreatYacht]

Simmons needs to be the first guard off the bench, every game

[unleashbaynes]

God, patty is pure fucking garbage

[DPG21920]

Big bucket by Kawhi.

[RD2191]

So 1st round exit?

[DAF86]

Kawhi bullying Westbrook on both ends.

[cd98]

Ha Billy D calls the TO

[TheGreatYacht]

Manure needs to tear an achilles

[SAGirl]

4 SOLID PTS BY OUR STARTING BACK COURT TONIGHT. HELLLLLLS YEAH. FINALS HERE WE COME.
:lol
:pop: Murray needs to be humbled... t

[FaM0us Skins]

:king

[Darius Bieber]

Wow. Losing to the thunder without Kanter. Warriors blew them out by 30.

[ElNono]

there we go...

Pop should go back to Manu running PG and Simms playing SG while Westbrook is out there, IMO, like he did in the 1st half

[Horse]

Awful awful effort out there. But we're still up big without the ref bullshit.

[spurs10]

Up 16 and give back 19.

[boutons_deux]

-11 in 3rd

[spurtech09]

Spurs being exposed?

[Strategic]

Spurs not manning up to these desperate teams

[ElNono]

Up 16 and give back 19.

And that's with Kawhi and LMA out there

[$pursDynasty]

Depth should pay off now

[RD2191]

Spurs being exposed?

You, like DPG at an amusement park.

[DPG21920]

OKC (especially Westbrook) always plays with a ton of energy.

Some of this 2nd half crap is just missing shots and taking foot off the gas. But some of it is guys just checking out mentally on defense (even if you remove the tough calls).

Energy has to be maintained.

[GSH]

Simmons needs to give us a momentum change

[BillMc]

We'll right this ship. Spurs will win by about 5.

[UZER]

zero guys that can penetrate on this team. We have a super athletic quick point guard but hes been inexplicably buried on the bench.

[spurtech09]

No doubt the officiating is bad as usual ......

[BillMc]

Depth should pay off now
Yep

[ElNono]

damn, good move Manu... gotta finish that

[DPG21920]

Manu has missed so many layups lately. His legs look gone on trying to finish at the rim.

[Perry Mason]

OKC (especially Westbrook) always plays with a ton of energy.

Some of this 2nd half crap is just missing shots and taking foot off the gas. But some of it is guys just checking out mentally on defense (even if you remove the tough calls).

This. The lead was originally gained not by incredible skill, but hustle plays. The skill then capitalized. We stopped the hustle plays.

[ducks]

Last 7 quarters spurs 33 out of 50 free throws

[timtonymanu]

I'm kind of hoping this team will flame out early if they're gonna pull this shit.

[RD2191]

Something isn't right with this team TBH

[SAGirl]

Wow. Losing to the thunder without Kanter. Warriors blew them out by 30.
I suspect a Spurs loss in the playoffs may be ugly... I think I have to prepare myself. I am optimistic about the team in general.

[TheGreatYacht]

Manure needs to tear an achilles

[spurtech09]

You, like DPG at an amusement park. 3rd game the Spurs have the lead and than blow it......Something is going on.....

[GSH]

damn, good move Manu... gotta finish that


I thought he got pushed in the back while he was in the air.

[hater]

:lmao still trotting out 65 year old Ginosely to try to regain the lead :lmao :lol

Pathetic team

[Chris]

Manu good lord :lol

[GSH]

Simmons took a hell of a shot on the way in there. Fought through it and finished.

[unleashbaynes]

Wtf is this stupid ass lineup?

[RD2191]

Patty Mills!!!

[spurtech09]

Lets go Mills......

[SAGirl]

zero guys that can penetrate on this team. We have a super athletic quick point guard but hes been inexplicably buried on the bench.
Murray needs to get over himself. Pops saw the rookie rankings and calmed that shit down.

[DPG21920]

Something isn't right with this team TBH

Like my order that you bagged.

[ElNono]

bench saving the bacon again

[GSH]

Something isn't right with this team TBH


Besides our starting PG being 0-3, you mean?

[FaM0us Skins]

Patty!

[sasaint]

OKC (especially Westbrook) always plays with a ton of energy.

Some of this 2nd half crap is just missing shots and taking foot off the gas. But some of it is guys just checking out mentally on defense (even if you remove the tough calls).

Energy has to be maintained.

The defense is terrible, but the only frenzy is contributing to that. It is completely disorganized - even frenzied - with a ton of forced shots, which are giving our recent opponents (not just OKC) quick offense opportunities.

[DPG21920]

I thought he got pushed in the back while he was in the air.

He missed 2 layups last game as well. He's just really struggling around the rim (if he gets there) lately

[TheGreatYacht]

:lmao still trotting out 65 year old Ginosely to try to regain the lead :lmao :lol

Pathetic team
TOSB held back Joseph, now he's doing it with Simmons

Only an injury can save us

[ElNono]

:lmao still trotting out 65 year old Ginosely to try to regain the lead :lmao :lol

Pathetic team

Well, we have the lead :lol

[loveforthegame]

:claw

[Chris]

Kiwi and one

[RD2191]

:claw

[cd98]

Leonard wow.

[GSH]

Wtf is this stupid ass lineup?

Don't you hate it when they do that?

[cd98]

At least Spurs won the last two minutes of the 3rd.

[lilbthebasedgod]

Blow up this team

[timtonymanu]

What's gonna happen in the 4th? Green misses more 3s, Patty gets destroyed by Cam Payne, Aldridge can't post up, Turnobili etc

[ElNono]

Danny-League smh

[Snaq O'Meal]

We have a super athletic quick point guard but hes been inexplicably buried on the bench.

:pop: "He needs to get over himself."

[DAF86]

These refs has been awful for both teams, tbh.

[Strategic]

Some life

[ElNono]

welp, hopefully the starters don't blow this small lead...

[FaM0us Skins]

:claw

[GSH]

He missed 2 layups last game as well. He's just really struggling around the rim (if he gets there) lately


No, I know he's struggling. Those used to be and-1's.

[sasaint]

3rd game the Spurs have the lead and than blow it......Something is going on.....

In the Mavs game I said that I believe there is something going on behind the scenes or the locker room.

[SpursforSix]

Why the fuck is Murry not in the rotation.

[Chris]

Kiwi and LMAlpha need to take over in the 4th

[ElNono]

No, I know he's struggling. Those used to be and-1's.

He doesn't get those calls anymore, tbh... it's like it's expected that he'll get overwhelmed by a more athletic defender

[GSH]

Danny-League smh


You know - with a foul to give, and the clock winding down, that was a pretty damn good foul actually. He could have gotten the charge - I thought the guy had already lost control of the ball when he bashed into Danny. But still that's exactly where you want to take your one foul.

[ElNono]

[BillMc]

Thunder have been silenced. We got this in the 4th

[spurs10]

Alright this is it!

[spurtech09]

In the Mavs game I said that I believe there is something going on behind the scenes or the locker room.Like what?

[UZER]

way too much Manu.

Cant believe this guys still gets this many minutes. :lol

[hater]

In the Mavs game I said that I believe there is something going on behind the scenes or the locker room.

Nothing behind the scene its all in plain daylight we have a shit team with a decrepit ginobili still playing main minutes, A pussy in Aldridge, and a superstar who can easily dissapear in big games. Add a senile fuck Pol who dont give a fuck anymore and we have what we have

[timtonymanu]

Ber fucking tans

[ElNono]

Damn, we have the best bench in the league...

[beirmeistr]

bertans impressive!

[GSH]

I thought we didn't have a foul to give, tbh

Heh. I'd be lying if I said I knew they had the foul to give. I wonder if Danny knew?

[DPG21920]

He doesn't get those calls anymore, tbh... it's like it's expected that he'll get overwhelmed by a more athletic defender

He's just not lifting. I dont think its because he's getting fouled. He's just not getting there as much (obviously) and when he does, he just can't finish as well in traffic because less lift (and touch is off). Hopefully he gets some juice in the legs every now and again.

[FaM0us Skins]

Bertans!

[DAF86]

Future all-star, tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Damn, we have the best bench in the league...
Lee, Bertans, and Simmons are amazing. Agreed :tu

[TheDoctor]

BertanGOD

[DPG21920]

Damn, we have the best bench in the league...

Yup! And if Mills can get it going consistently it will really help. Our starters are great too overall and they are building leads too.

[Chris]

Juice nice eurostep

[GSH]

Great finish by Simmons. Pressure, pressure, pressure.

[SAGirl]

In the Mavs game I said that I believe there is something going on behind the scenes or the locker room.
Interesting and intriguing... it must be among the veterans. The young guys always seem happy and encouraging to each other.... Lamarcus?

[ElNono]

He's just not lifting. I dont think its because he's getting fouled. He's just not getting there as much (obviously) and when he does, he just can't finish as well in traffic because less lift (and touch is off). Hopefully he gets some juice in the legs every now and again.

I know what you mean. What I'm saying is that in those odd occasions where he does get hit, he doesn't get those calls anymore regardless.

[SAGirl]

Great finish by Simmons. Pressure, pressure, pressure.
He came determined to get to the rim. Good to see!

[RD2191]

SIMMMMSSSS BLOCK

[GSH]

Simmons coughs up the ball, and them makes the MONSTER block on the other end!!!

[ElNono]

welp, lead back to what it was when the bench came in

[TheDoctor]

DLee is so fierce that he stares at his own teammates lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Simmons, best shooting guard on the team :wow

[Chris]

David Lee mein neger

[spurtech09]

Like this line up much better........better effort....

[FaM0us Skins]

Simmons to the rescue!

[ElNono]

Is Manu the best P&R handler in the NBA, tbh?

[DPG21920]

I know what you mean. What I'm saying is that in those odd occasions where he does get hit, he doesn't get those calls anymore regardless.

For sure. He gets them on 3 balls though lol.

[Robz4000]

Simmons and Bertans fuck up a good amount but god damnit do they make momentum-changing plays.

[hater]

Holy shit simmons


Good things happen when you take the ball from Manus hands

[FaM0us Skins]

Great pass to Lee

[DPG21920]

Really nice game from Simmons - its just nice to have health and options.
