That guy doesn't know shit, it seems. He talks about the playoff race in terms of wins as opposed to losses. He straight-up says the bench doesn't matter. The dude's not a hater, but he seems to be giving a majorly superficial analysis.

[look_at_g_shred]

We know Kawhi is going to show up, but we need other players to help with the scoring load. LMA has to inforce his will on Green. Dedmon needs to hit the boards hard and get us as many second opportunities as possible. Microwave needs to be microwave. Simmons needs to play like an actual NBA player.

[NameLess Scrub]

I expect another OKC crapfest at this point.

If they show up it will just be a nice surprise.

You're being generous, what has got into you Darius?

[Robz4000]

Kawhi gonna be out a while most likely. Thankfully they've all but locked up the second overall seed so they can start eating people for the next few weeks.

[bklynspursfan]

There's still a chance the Warriors lose tonight in Minny thus tomorrow not doing much damage if we lose.

In either case, I wouldn't put it past them winning tomorrow with the Warriors on a b2b.

[Darius Bieber]

Anyone else not gonna be surprised if the Spurs are down 20+ at the end of 1?

The Spurs without Kawhi needed the greatest comeback in NBA history to beat the fucking Kings at home. They aren't beating the Dubs without him.

[HarlemHeat37]

Warriors forum is the complete opposite of ST, it's a funny contrast, tbh:lol

Most of their posters were predicting a blowout loss tomorrow, with the Spurs dominating wire-to-wire..following the OKC loss, half the fans here have been predicting a blowout loss to the Warriors tomorrow..sports fans, they're so cute with their overreactions to every single game:lol

[bklynspursfan]

The Spurs without Kawhi needed the greatest comeback in NBA history to beat the fucking Kings at home. They aren't beating the Dubs without him.

Idk.. They're on a b2b and have looked terrible lately on b2b's. We're coming off a loss. If we play the way we did to come back against the Kings, a win honestly would not surprise me

[Robz4000]

I agree, the Dubs have looked average without Durant and I can see them.losing to the T'Pups tonight. However, the Spurs often look much worse without Kawhi and the Dubs are gonna be desperate to win to hold on to the #1 seed; Spurs are going to get rolled.

They're also due for progression to the mean while the Spurs are due for regression to the mean.

They've been fluking out by constantly winning games where they erase a significant deficit, while also benefitting from rare late game luck. It doesn't matter who it is, eventually that turns.

Considering it's a nationally televised game, it was already more than likely going to be a struggle to break 90. Now, it'll be what it more than likely would have been had it been a nationally televised road game: a struggle to break 80.

If they lose tonight then yea I could see them winning for sure. (In any case we don't lose anything in the standings) But if they win tonight, idk. I could see an upset happening tomorrow.

My biggest concern would be Klay, Kawhi usually makes him invisible. Anderson ain't slowing him down cause dude is way to slow/weak fighting thru screens. Idk if DG has the same impact on him , and might be on Steph. (Who usually plays like crap in SA)

This isn't last year's warriors. Without Durant and their depth, they just don't look good. If we get LMA like we got in game 1, anythings possible

Hey, maybe Green/Mills and our other shooters get going. It might be a struggle to score, but our best bet will be to use Pau/LMA/Lee more probably.

Idk man. This team is also due a win where everything clicks and we rain 3's. If GS wasn't playing tonight, I'd probably feel like you. But they've been so bad since KD went out on b2bs that I feel we'll have a shot

Seriously is Kyle playing?
bc if the Kawhi minutes go to Bryn Forbes... man I hope Bryn at least remembers how to shoot...

Any injury sucks. Hopefully the concussion is not serious and he can shake it off in a week or so.

That being said, at least it wasn't a fractured orbital or some shit. A long term injury like a broken face could bother him and affect the stellar trajectory he has been on for a while.

[bklynspursfan]

I hope LMA is watching this game. Towns is feasting... LMA should too. It's the perfect opportunity to shine

[Hoops Czar]

Pop isn't holding out Kawhi.... Are you unfamiliar with the concussion protocol?

I'm familiar with the Spurs and Pop making up excuses to hold players out. If the Spurs doctor's gave you an exclusive examination report regarding Leonard, can you please share it with me? If this were the playoffs, he wouldn't be in concussion protocol.

Uh, yea he would. It's the team doctor who makes the determination of whether he goes thru the protocol based on his initial testing. Then, the doctor meets with the director of the NBA Concussion program to determine if he's able to play again.

Has absolutely nothing to do with the head coach. If Pop wanted to sit him, he would freaking sit him. It essentially takes Pops head coaching out of the equation cause now he's waiting for the doctors/league officials to clear him.

So your logic and assumptions are incredibly flawed.

[bklynspursfan]

Welp, there goes the 1 seed and Kawhi's chance to show he's the real MVP, tbh.

Warriors are struggling. 1 seed is very much up for grabs

[bklynspursfan]

I am. Explain please.


Here’s a look at the league’s concussion program as it relates to a player returning to action.

A player in the concussion protocol program can’t return to the floor until the following:

He is without concussion-related symptoms at rest.

He has been evaluated by a physician.

He has successfully completed the NBA return-to-participation exertion protocol.

A team physician has discussed the return-to-participation process and decision with the Director of the NBA concussion program, Dr. Jeffrey Kutcher.

Ultimately, the decision as to when a player will return will be made by the team physician.

Basically it's the doctors who recommending this process for Kawhi. It isn't Pop.. they were checking him and he must've showed some symptoms that prompted them to do this.

They still have 3 All Stars while we'll have Zero All Stars tomorrow. Our one All Star is great enough to beat a 4 All Star team but our remaining cast of former All Stars past their prime with Forbes and Anthony...for them to beat the Dubs tomorrow will be a MONUMENTAL regular season upset.

All stars don't always matter. Wouldn't be monumental considering their schedule. They just haven't looked good lately and they're vulnerable.

I understand that on paper and from our experience it seems like a loss.

But these guys are going down to the wire now. They've played a ton lately and their travel has been taxing. We will come in fresher than them. If nothing else, we will have the energy and hustle on our side. Some of our guys feed off that. Not to mention we still have advantages with LMA(if he shows up) and Pau.

The game is winnable. If they weren't playing tonight, I'd probably be on board with you.

It seems he's a bit more Pop than Phil with his coaching philosophy.

Wow, and to think I almost wasted $500 on tickets and travel to SAT to watch this game. Whew!!

[james evans]

so basically Kerr and Popovoch are both trying to throw the game. Popovich wants to sit out Leonard(which he was going to do anyway) and Kerr said, "hold up, I can do better than that". Shit is silly. It's more Popovoch bullshit. If Leonard got a concussion from that little elbow, he is by far the weakest mother fucker I've ever seen in an nba uniform. For those of you old enough to remember, there was a game in the mid 90s when the Knicks played the Suns, AC Green had his 2 front teeth knocked out by JR Reid purposely. He started the next game to extend his streak and played the rest of the season. In the 2009 ECF, Johnson elbowed Mo Williams in the eye driving to the basket and cut him. It didn't put him out for the rest of the series. Karl Malone knocked out ****** Perry with an elbow(put him to sleep) and caught Mtuombo with one cutting his mouth up too. These guys didn't sit out a week.

Kawhi gonna be out a while most likely. Thankfully they've all but locked up the second overall seed so they can start eating people for the next few weeks.

Why would he be out a while? Surely he doesn't have a concussion, does he? or can the NBA say it is and keep him out for multiple games? Can the Spurs get their own evaluation? If the NBA has it's own doctors that make the decision, then I don't trust them at all.

Edit : how long would have to sit? If he's OK, would it just be for this game? or the NBA starts the concussion protocol, does he still have to sit for multiple games if he's OK? This sounds like bullshit to me.

This is going to be a short bus fight, and that includes Pop and Kerr (who was not aware of when the clock starts ticking during a jump ball)

I do wonder what's up with Kyle's knee. I had assumed no news is good news, and that he would play in this game but I may be wrong. He apparently downplayed his knee sprain, but at the same time he was limping out of the locker room after Thursday's game. I am already expecting Bryn Forbes, Murray, Mills lineups. Pop is super careful with his players and I expect that if there is even a sign that knee is not 100% he's going to be out.

I am old enough to remember an NFL game when Dan Marino got his bell rung, missed a play, then came in and threw the game winning TD against Seattle (I think). After the game a reporter asked him about the game-winning play and Dan had no idea what he was talking about. Turns out Marino had a concussion and didn't remember the play. He'd done it all in the moment from muscle memory even though his head was gone.

Maybe Kawhi could give us 15 and 2 steals even with his head in the clouds.:lol

I wonder if "nice guy" Kerr has some respect issues in the locker room. We all know about the issue/challenge/blow up with Draymond last year. Now this.

It can't help that the team won so many games with Luke Walton. They probably feel they don't need a coach. Not all of them, but a few.

Maybe Kawhi could give us 15 and 2 steals even with his head in the clouds.:lol

(Just kidding of course)

That's pretty crazy :wow

I agree. Whi could drop those stats half asleep, and it'd take Patty to remind him of what he did for the night... cuz who remembers just another night at the office :lol

[spurs10]

Will they fine Kerr too?

That number one seed is up for the grabs. Hopefully, we'll go for it. Playing 4 games in the Oracle is a nightmare.
I won't be shocked if some fines are issued. Green might want to hold off on that $25000 watch! Though he doesn't strike me as a practical and thoughtful guy. How many T's does that he need before he gets suspended I wonder? Also I wonder what the punishment is. Are you out for multiple games?

Kawhi would still be alive if I had opened the OKC thread tbh

[smaka]

Parker and Murray not playing tonight, LMA also out. Let's just cancel the game lol.

[cd98]

so basically Kerr and Popovoch are both trying to throw the game. Popovich wants to sit out Leonard(which he was going to do anyway) and Kerr said, "hold up, I can do better than that". Shit is silly. It's more Popovoch bullshit. If Leonard got a concussion from that little elbow, he is by far the weakest mother fucker I've ever seen in an nba uniform. For those of you old enough to remember, there was a game in the mid 90s when the Knicks played the Suns, AC Green had his 2 front teeth knocked out by JR Reid purposely. He started the next game to extend his streak and played the rest of the season. In the 2009 ECF, Johnson elbowed Mo Williams in the eye driving to the basket and cut him. It didn't put him out for the rest of the series. Karl Malone knocked out ****** Perry with an elbow(put him to sleep) and caught Mtuombo with one cutting his mouth up too. These guys didn't sit out a week.

I'm sure if this were the playoffs, then most of those guys would be playing. But it's a regular season game, and one Kerr can win even sitting his best players because of all the players out for the Spurs. And Green only played because of his streak that he went through comical efforts to extend, including a start and playing for a few minutes and then sitting. Of course, if it was a tooth or two, guys like Kawhi would play. But a concussion is serious. Better to rest and not take chances.

[BatManu20]

Shit.

[$pursDynasty]

It would take a plane crash for a game to lose this many star players this quickly.

[$pursDynasty]

With Dubs top 5 players out and the Spurs likely without their top 3, it might come down to Sean Livingston vs old man Manu and Pau. This is when having a system can help yout survive a storm.

[TXstbobcat]

Both Parker and Murray out tonight against GS.

[$pursDynasty]

Why is Dijon out?

[TXstbobcat]

Why is Dijon out?

Out due to groin.

[peacemaker885]

Is anybody playing tonight? Man is this a nationally televised game? If this was Stern lots of fines going out.

[BillMc]

ABC's sponsors on suicide alert.

[spursistan]

Murray and TP are also both out :lmao..

[BatManu20]

So Patty, Manu, D-Lee, and Pau are going to have to carry us. This might actually be a good game still. Imagine us losing this one now lol. That would suck.

[Splits]

Why is Dijon out?

[CGD]

Damn, how a season can turn in a blink of an eye. Best to LMA.

Bryn and Davis to get some run. No Kyle either I assume?

I don't give a fuck if Kawhi, LMA, Tony, and Murray are out. We CANNOT lose to this roster :lmao

Gasol, Deadman, Anthony
Lee, Bertans
Anderson, Simmons
Green, Ginobili
Mills, Forbes

that should be enough for a "GOAT" coach to get it done

[Mugen]

I get the resting thing but tonight is ridiculous tbh.

There's a lot of San Antonions that gave up extra guacamole on their burritos for several months to go to this game. And now they gotta watch Patrick McCaw and Bryn Forbes go head to head in a glorified D-league game.

Smh.....

[TheGreatYacht]

Is Kyle confirmed?
Pretty much. Spurs announced those that are out and he's not on the list

[BillMc]

The reason Spurs were fined a few years back for sitting guys was because Pop didn't notify the league 24 hours before. Both coaches have notified the league ahead of time - they won't be fined. It's not against league rules to rest players, you just have to give word first.

If LA is gone for the season it's possible, and even if the Spurs get out of the 1st round it will be a long 1st round especially against the Thunder.

Its what he is payed for.

He says players are paid to entertain fans. Wrong. You are payed by your employers, in GS case, to win a championship. So that's what you do. You will sacrifice in battles to win the war. Cut down the frkn schedule and this would not be a problem. Play 50 games and you won't see the resting until playoff positions are sewn up.

[spursistan]

Kawhi will be back for Monday apparently..sigh of relief..Now carry us to det Top seed and get your MVP.

[Chinook]

Should have started Tony and Bertans. Assuming Tony will play, but maybe it's going to be Forbes, Manu, Simmons, Bertans, Gasol

Forbes might be playing for a job now. The Spurs simply can't afford to carry dead roster spots with their stars out and their secondary guys ailing.

[BillMc]

It's a trash Kawhi post though. or just trying to hype a bench game. :lol

Now ABC/ESPN going for the race stuff.

Gotta do something when stars are out.

I think because both teams are missing stars. You don't expect a blowout from one team. So that evens the field. And add that they are both vying for the top spot. I think it makes this game quite intriguing. I'm watching either way. :lol

[SpurPadre]

When Rose said we'll be eliminated in the 1st round, was he factoring LMA's condition?
