My nigga canyonero will bring us another victory. :flag:

[LittleCriminal]

Hopefully Murray will get some burn tonight.
Spurs need a guard who can penetrate.

[apalisoc_9]

Parker is probably out.

[kaji157]

Key to the game:

Tony has been playing like shit, this might be the game he finally pulls the fake injury card and makes way for a more younger, and hungrier player in Murray.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Parker is probably out.

Hopefully. Want to see Murray start

[TXstbobcat]

Parker is probably out.

I am going to the game tonight and would love to see Murray get the start tonight. :toast

[TXstbobcat]

Will be at bankers life fieldhouse tonight for the game. :flag:

[RD2191]

Parker is probably out.

Let's hope.

[NASpurs]

Ever since getting the stomach virus and not playing the Bucks game (1/10), LMA's been shooting 41.8% from the field and 37.7% on the road (through 15 games). The previous seven game before the Bucks game was when he was on that hot streak and just made everything he shot. Spurs are 10-5 in the last fifteen even with him under-performing.

[TheGreatYacht]

Hope Manure gets hurt and PATFO finally addresses the weak ass SG position

Thanks for those stats.... He had some terribly bad games in that stretch, eteeen the Memphis game and yesterday, so it didn't seem like it was that long a stretch.... just a series of recently very bad game. I'd say after the all star snub he's been shooting worse...
:toast Let's hope he does bounce back.

LaMarcus Aldridge on Spurs having just one All-Star: 'It was wrong'

http://sports.yahoo.com/news/lamarcus-aldridge-on-spurs-having-just-one-all-star-it-was-wrong-200815732.html

LaMarcus Aldridge chose winning, above all else, when he decided two summers ago to play for the San Antonio Spurs (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/teams/sas/). As the most coveted free agent at the time, Aldridge could’ve gone somewhere else – or stayed in Portland – where he would’ve likely been afforded an offense catered to him and more pampering and adulation. Few situations, however, would’ve placed Aldridge in a better position to possibly win a ring.

Going from a leading man to part of a super ensemble comes with its challenges, but Aldridge continues to adjust and has finally settled into a role in a share-the-wealth system that is foreign to what he had known his first nine seasons in the league. That championship still eludes him after the first season in his home-state return ended with a second-round thud. But the Spurs have been racking up regular-season wins at a record-breaking pace for the storied franchise, going 108-28 since luring Aldridge in a rare free-agent coup.

Aldridge has done his part, sacrificing the chase for gaudy statistics to be part of a machine that again has the league’s second-best record. That success warrants greater consideration for Kawhi Leonard (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/4896/) as MVP but certainly doesn’t come on the back of a one-man show. And as one of four players who have made an All-NBA team in each of the past three seasons – along with LeBron James, Stephen Curry (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/4612/) and Chris Paul (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3930/) – Aldridge would’ve liked for his reputation as a five-time All-Star, along with the Spurs’ stellar record, to have led to him joining Leonard in New Orleans for the All-Star Game.

“I’m older, so I’m not going to come home and be mad or anything,” Aldridge, 31, told The Vertical. “But I do think that it was wrong for Golden State to have four [All-Stars] and we’re a few games behind and only have one. It is what it is. I’m in this position and I’m going to enjoy my break and just come back fresh.”
Aldridge will use his rare in-season vacation relaxing in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, where he can clear his mind. When he gets back to work, the focus will be on completing what he came to accomplish in San Antonio and finding a way to not let self-doubt or second-guessing impede his progress.

Since he wasn’t a homegrown talent indoctrinated into Gregg Popovich’s demanding ways from the start, a journeyman seeking to restore his standing in the league, or a past-his-prime ring-chaser, Aldridge had arguably the most difficult adjustment of any player welcomed into the Spurs franchise. Aldridge was an established star, trained to get buckets on call, surrounded by teammates looking to get him the ball rather than working for the best shot within the offense. For many years in Portland – particularly the final five seasons when he averaged at least 20 points per game – Aldridge, more often than not, represented the best shot.

In his first season in San Antonio, Aldridge struggled trying to find the balance between blending and being assertive. Popovich and Aldridge’s teammates urged him to stop being gun-shy and to demand the ball more, but the confusion led Aldridge to too often get in his own head – a place Tim Duncan encouraged him to avoid lest he overthink. Aldridge still has his moments now, but not nearly as frequently.

“It was very difficult, because I couldn’t be the guy that I’ve been my whole career. It was very difficult to adjust from being who I was to who I am now,” Aldridge told The Vertical. “Now, I’m fine. I do what I’m asked to do. I rebound, take shots every now and then. I’m not really asked to be that guy that I was, so I just the play the role that they want me to play. Play defense. Do pick-and-pop when they need it, and other than that just play off Kawhi.”

Leonard’s ascension from being a star reluctant to step on toes to a top-10 scorer has been paramount to that success, especially with Duncan off detailing cars and being a doting father in his post-basketball career. But so has a selfless, supportive culture in which players take turns having their nights instead of wrestling for shots.

With the entire organization adjusting to Duncan’s retirement, this season has forced Aldridge to shift again. He had to figure out how to play with a more offensive-minded frontcourt partner in Pau Gasol (http://sports.yahoo.com/nba/players/3513/), only to have Gasol go down with a broken hand. Aldridge’s scoring and rebounding (17.4 points and 7.4 rebounds per game) are almost identical to his numbers from last season but he has had to do more of the dirty work and become more of a defensive anchor. And when his number isn’t called, Aldridge has found other ways to remain engaged, leading to the occasional, angry putback dunk.

“I’ve grown as far as learning to do other things than score,” Aldridge told The Vertical. “That’s what I do, that’s who I am, but here, not so much. I’m trying to learn other ways to be involved in the game, whether that’s crashing the boards or getting guys open. Doing things other than what I naturally do. I think it’s just shown that I can do other things, too. I should feel more comfortable this year. I do at times.”

Aldridge’s production is down considerably from his days with the Trail Blazers but in turn he is winning more. And last postseason, the Spurs showed Aldridge that they won’t hesitate to lean on him as he scored 38 points and 41 points, respectively, in Games 1 and 2 of the Western Conference semifinals against Oklahoma City. The Spurs lost to the Thunder in six games, overwhelmed by Kevin Durant, Russell Westbrook and their young, athletic supporting cast. That Aldridge’s former team advanced just as far in his absence last season also cannot be ignored. But San Antonio’s inability to reach the NBA Finals, let alone the conference finals, didn’t change how Aldridge approached the summer.

“I work hard every offseason, so I’m not going to lie and say, ‘I went home and killed it because of that,'” Aldridge told The Vertical with a laugh. “But I think as a whole, we’re definitely motivated to be better this year.”

Golden State had three All-Stars last season and added one of the game’s three-best players during the offseason, so becoming the fourth team in the past 20 years to send four players to the league’s annual showcase doesn’t sound all that ridiculous. But San Antonio is also the only team in the league that is unbeaten against the Warriors and defending NBA champion Cleveland, which has three All-Stars.

The Spurs smashed the Warriors on opening night, snuck out of Cleveland with an overtime win and will face both teams a combined three times in March. With Durant eliminating one challenger in the West with his departure from Oklahoma City, Houston exciting but unproven, and the Los Angeles Clippers needing better luck and/or a significant roster upgrade (hello, Melo?), San Antonio again looks like the one team standing in the way of the Warriors making a third straight Finals appearance. But Aldridge learned after last season’s 67 wins that some other team could always interrupt what appears to be a foregone conclusion.

“We’ll see,” Aldridge told The Vertical. “We have to keep getting better every night, get better defensively and get more sharp and try to make [fewer] mistakes. But if we keep getting better and focus on the little things, we have a chance.”

The Warriors are once again capturing the league’s imagination, upstaged only by a Westbrook triple-double, a James Harden statistical marvel, or a LeBron James angry-dad venting session. But the Spurs – as they have through multiple iterations over the past two decades – are still there, lurking. The All-Star break is arriving and they have already secured their 20th consecutive non-losing season. Aldridge sought a higher profile that comes from deep playoff runs as opposed to market size and he appreciates having to earn the recognition.

“I always love not being in the spotlight, because to me, it’s better to be quiet and focus on things to be better at, and have guys not be praised and have all that hoopla around them, so guys don’t start feeling themselves,” Aldridge told The Vertical. “I’m happy with us being under radar and having Pop always being unsatisfied with everything we do. It definitely keeps us humble and working hard.”

Not that Aldridge believes he needs additional prodding. “I don’t ever get comfortable,” Aldridge told The Vertical. “I never have in my career. It’s just about trying to be better every night. So, my goal is just to learn to be myself in this system as much as I can and try to do what they want me to do. Play my role.”

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Aldridge is wrong. He's not an All Star anymore.

[gambit1990]

no way the spurs lose tonight.

[DJR210]

Yeah he fucked himself in that argument by pulling the record card :lol

[Spur|n|Austin]

I feel bad for the Pacers; Spurs going balls deep tonight.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Yeah he fucked himself in that argument by pulling the record card :lol

4 > 1 for a 4 game difference is pretty bad though.

[BillMc]

Any news on Simmons?

[HarlemHeat37]

Any news on Simmons?

He's playing..

Pacers are going to be very thin in the frontcourt, no Young or Lavoy Allen..a lot of small-ball 4 with George, probably..

[DPG21920]

People that dont watch basketball outside of SA should really pay attention to Myles Turner. He's developing damn well and has been really fun to watch.

Hopefully CJ Miles doens't go off. Ultimate hot/cold player but he's had some big games from 3 lately.

[Ron Swanson]

Another nice segment on MVPelon

[Robz4000]

Don't see the Spurs winning another game until they face the Lakers at the end of the trip tbh.

[HarlemHeat37]

Aldridge needs to step up tonight, he has a pretty soft matchup, tbh..

The bench is gonna have to have a big night..Pacers' bench is pretty shitty due to Ellis' bad season, but with him, CJ Miles and Al Jefferson, they could go off at any time..Manu and Lee should feast on them, they dont have any rim protection or any type of defense on the bench..

[urunobili]

At he Bankers Field Joise here. Any of y'all is around? #lastchancetoseeManu

[loveforthegame]

Leonard came to play. As usual.

Kawhi raping George early.

[Horse]

Don't see the Spurs winning another game until they face the Lakers at the end of the trip tbh.
Fuck yourself

[SupremeGuy]

Ballhog Kawhi needs to stop shooting and let Parker continue his hot streak, tbh. Kawhi can't even do anything on defense either.

[HarlemHeat37]

Man, Kawhi loves playing vs. Paul George and Jimmy Butler, tbh:lol

[Robz4000]

ASB can't come soon enough for LMA and Porker.

[DarrinS]

HOTS extending cold streak

[apalisoc_9]

[bklynspursfan]

Dedmon working hard.. offense has to be more dynamic, can't keep having Kawhi ISO.

As I say that, a great look from Green to Dedmon followed up by a poor LMA shot smh. If he could get going it really opens things up

[NASpurs]

Fucking 6'11" shooting guard stinking it up again.

[Ron Swanson]

LMA needs to quit worrying about the ASG and get his shit together.

[TheGreatYacht]

Cmon Manure. Tear an Achilles here

[HarlemHeat37]

Aldridge is playing against a frontcourt that doesn't have any good individual defenders and is the 3rd worst defensive rebounding team in the NBA..he should be shitting on them..

[Nathan89]

Another game, another shitty performance by LMA

[GB20]

This has to be manu last year.

[loveforthegame]

FU LMA.

[bklynspursfan]

Mind boggling . 2 of his better performances were against Anthony Davis and Raymond Green

[urunobili]

LDN patted ref #28 ass before tip off...

[NASpurs]

Bitch made faggot playing with a bruised ego. Stop sulking already.

[Robz4000]

LMA was at least showing hustle and defended well last night. So far tonight he looks mentally checked out.

[r0drig0lac]

wow LMA is bad

[loveforthegame]

Thank goodness he took Leonard out.

[Darius Bieber]

No fire after the embarrassing loss. Trash team.

[BatManu20]

Myles Turner is going to be a stud in this league. Would love him on the Spurs tbh. Already the 4th leading shot-blocker in the League and his game expands out to 3-PT range. Only 20 years old.

[HarlemHeat37]

Energy starting to look poor, good time to bring Simmons in, hopefully he's rested from his hangover..

[Strategic]

On the positive note the Spurs have scored 20 in the quarter

[DPG21920]

Manu looking awful again

INDY announcers had a great Al Jefferson on Tim story. Basically they asked Al what it was like playing against Tim and how it feels not to see him out there. He said something to the effect of "I know I didn't win a lot of those match ups". They said they had the numbers and he won only like 4 out of 32 and Al "said WhATTTT???" But then he rattled off which 4 games they were because he already had them memorized :lol

[BatManu20]

[John Petrucci]

Damn the Spurs are in some kind of funk. PG looks like he's going for 40 tonight

[bklynspursfan]

Timmy would've told Dedmon to keep the ball up high. Fundamental stuff like that is so valuable

[spursistan]

Of course that shit was sarcasm. Ellis made an open jumper with Patty ten feet from him inside the paint basically.

Guys getting fine looks. The offense is functioning in that regard. This isn't a bad offense where they struggle to get good looks. Have to make them & get some easy ones.

[Hoops Czar]

Ever since someone mentioned DG's ball control this year, he's been straight up trash in that department.

[bklynspursfan]

He'd still post "losing by 20+" tbh

Truth. He should just not watch sports anymore and pretending to be a spurs fan. He was spewing this same hot garbage in the 2014 playoffs

[John Petrucci]

Our offensive options outside of Kawhi...man what a shit show

[spursistan]

Early on in the year, guys were knocking them down. I'm just sorta hoping after the ASB these guys get back on track. Shooting slumps are common. As you said, it's a + guys are still getting good looks

[SpurPadre]

Can this team make the Finals in 4 months?

[Horse]

Bad matchups for him it seems.
Can't be any worse

[CGD]

What's up with Patty? I feel like just two weeks ago he was the second best player on the team, and now production is down. His shot is consistently short, and he lacks explosion. Maybe hurt?

Can't have shit production from him AND Tony at the same time.

[Hoops Czar]

Play Bertans you old senile fuck

Still too early. You don't want him to foul out by halftime.

[DPG21920]

Spurs need offense and need to get LMA going. Why is Lee not getting more minutes next to LMA?

LMA made a shot :wow

The 6'11" shooting guard made a jumper. Yay.

[PopTheGOAT]

About time Danny made one. He has one fucking job

I get the game plan, Spurs are force feeding LMA so they can get him out of this funk. But Jesus Christ, this is really bad. 12 shots in the first half, only making 3 of them. Yikes.

[DPG21920]

At least SA came came back with Lee in. Offense (obviously) has picked up.

That was a surprising pass by Kawhi. Normally doesn't show that vision

[RD2191]

Why the fuck is LMA 3-12? Wtf

[Thomas82]

3-12 shooting for LMA. Another horrific shooting night for him which continues to cost us big time.

+1

[DPG21920]

LMA is getting good looks. They will fall. With Lee in LMA catching facing the basket more. He's not hesitating they will fall.

[Horse]

Pacers should be fucking embarrassed to not be up 50

[PopTheGOAT]

They'll hit a 3 here bc someone loses their man

[loveforthegame]

Tied game. Spurs will take that considering how many have shit the bed.

[GSH]

He'll go 14-14 against the Lakers, and his average will still look good.

(https://twitter.com/AirlessJordan) 5m (https://twitter.com/AirlessJordan/status/831306911609917442) Patty Mills just passed Tony Parker for 7th in Spurs history in three-pointers. Mills' 490 passes Parker's 489.

The next step. His passing game is gonna improve big time by next season. Watch

[DPG21920]

Love seeing Pop coaching LMA. It's close. It's coming for LMA.

That would be astounding. It's really hard to "learn" vision

[DarrinS]

HOTS shooting at a blistering 20%
LMA at 25%

[bklynspursfan]

Nash at 34 was much better than TP at 34, tbh.

That's a poor comparison tbh

Nash at 34 was in his 13th season. Compare that with Parker's 13th season in 2013-2014.

Also, the 2 played very different styles. But yea... You can't really use their age as a comparison for who aged better. Basketball mileage is a real thing

[bklynspursfan]

That would be astounding. It's really hard to "learn" vision

Yea, you either have it or you dont. The only thing that'll help is repetition and being the guy with the ball more. He can watch video and see where he needs to improve. It's hard to think he can't add that element to his game when it seems he's always working on improving his game

[loveforthegame]

WTF?? :lmao

Ok, Nash at 37 was better than Parker at 34. Numbers won't lie on that. Nash had lots of mileage too. And it was TP who made the comparison. I'll dig up the quote.

^40 million between these two

[Budkin]

So how much do we lose by tonight?

[TheMulletMan3000]

lamarcus melting down while playing myles turner who is 20 YO. sad.

[Robz4000]

WTF?? :lmao

:rollin He was a Pacer for all of 5 minutes. Never got the chance to even give a fuck about that fanbase.

[DPG21920]

I like what I've seen honestly. Spurs win & LMA has big 2nd half. Hoping Lee gets more minutes next to LMA. It changes the offense vs having Dedmon next to him

[PopTheGOAT]

That would be astounding. It's really hard to "learn" vision
I agree, but I wouldn't put it past him. A theory is, when you're learning an NBA playset, are remodeling your jump shot, improving ball handling, and all other aspects he's improved in, it can be a mental overload and you may not play naturally. All these things that he's worked on will become more natural rather than mechanical.

Long story short, he may have had the vision all along, he just needs to get to the point where he can use it.

[Nathan89]

Predicting a big half for LMA:lol

[TheMulletMan3000]

WTF?? :lmao

Oh I'm not doubting him :lol. Kawhi ceiling is non-existent.

[boutons_deux]

LMA can't score, can't shoot anymore, another horrible game, FG 25%

[NASpurs]

I'm surprised Pop's going with a 9 man rotation considering it's the second game of a B2B.

dejo!!!!!

[DPG21920]

I think a reason LMA struggled lately is a lot of his attempts are starting with back to the basket. He truly is a pick and pop player. Spacing with Dedmon a reason why that's happened. Lee will help more there and good to see LMA working on that.

I think LMA has been as much of a fadeaway shooter (starting with his back to the basket) than a PNP shooter in his career.

[John Petrucci]

Kawhi has gotta make that was wide open, great pass by Lma...Teague drills one fuck
