Over/Under 10 pages for this GT? Yep, you would think this team is 16-55 W-L, not the other way around :lol...

One last cupcake before the most brutal week of the season schedule-wise..The Spurs Top seed chase should be decided this coming week..Most likely--and judging by their recent level of play-- it could be curtains for them by the OKC game.

I'm surprised he didn't turn her down.

[Robz4000]

Knicks have given the Spurs problems regardless of whose been on the court for them for years. Gonna be another tough one.

[Joseph Kony]

Spurs win 112-89

[gambit1990]

knicks are the only team the spurs haven't beaten this season. should be an easy w.

[SpursIndonesia]

So, Anderson will start, right ? NY chumps haven't closed Anthony for the season in this tank mode, have they ?

Simmons more likely.

[BillMc]

:toast Well done, OP:flag: Spurs by 12

[sananspursfan21]

Tonight is going to be a pivotal game in regards to my opinion of our current Spurs team. If they can come out blazing and smoke these knicks, I can believe they're horsing around until the playoffs (like they do many seasons). If they fool around and lose or win by a last second shot, I call bull on these guys being contenders

“In the playoffs, nobody is going to let me play one-on-one,” said Leonard, who finished with 19 points on a respectable 7-of-15 shooting. “I’m not going to be able to come off a screen and just see open space.”

[Chinook]

God-damned resting killing me in fantasy.

[Robz4000]

God-damned resting killing me in fantasy.

Same here. Suns resting Bledsoe the rest of the season killing me in both my fantasy leagues.

You have Danny in fantasy? My condolences.

[Chinook]

You have Danny in fantasy? My condolences.

And Melo.

[TheGreatYacht]

And Melo.
RIP

[Robz4000]

Fuck, thought Rose was out. Game just got tougher.

[FkLA]

Why is Enrique already shooting though?

[bklynspursfan]

Fuck, thought Rose was out. Game just got tougher.

C'mon... Lol

[bklynspursfan]

Anderson was starting (on the graphic I saw on MSG) then I see Simmons out there. Interesting

[bklynspursfan]

Lee was up clapping before LMA's shot went down. He knew it was going in

[Chinook]

Lol at Lee not knowing tap-out rules. Lol NBA for having fucking stupid tap-out rules.

[BillMc]

Dedmon - foul machine

[FkLA]

Juice loves the eurostep, tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Deadman better get ready to opt in that player option :lol he'll be in China otherwise

[Robz4000]

Dedmon - foul machine

That last foul call was absolutely retarded. It just goes back to how the Spurs are getting double-standard'd by league officials.

[gambit1990]

spurs trying to hide tp on someone defensively... and that person has scored 7 of the knicks 9 points :lol

[FkLA]

If Porker is pushing the pace, and has two options on each side, he goes to the one that isn't Kawhi every single time. :lol

[Robz4000]

Kawhi's entire game is off these days. He needs more rest than anyone right now.

[FkLA]

spurs trying to hide tp on someone defensively... and that person has scored 7 of the knicks 9 points :lol

averages 6 ppg :lmao

[Robz4000]

Manu with the insta-impact getting Porzingod his third foul already.

[BillMc]

Phil Jackson.

Nero had a better rebuilding plan.

[Robz4000]

Fuck, Lee hurt his shoulder.

[ace3g]

Lee just hurt his right shoulder...

[SAGirl]

Phil Jackson.

Nero had a better rebuilding plan.
It is sad with how pathetic it's been..

[FkLA]

So basically we are at a point where Kawhi can only eat when the Pork sits? That's pretty disgusting, tbh.

[gambit1990]

averages 6 ppg :lmao
:lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Gasol is the best 6th man this team has ever had. Brilliant signing tbh

[SAGirl]

Seems alright...

[BillMc]

Fuck, Lee hurt his shoulder.


Lee just hurt his right shoulder...

Looks OK but my stream is about 2 minutes after yours...

[Robz4000]

Yeah, Lee is staying in the game :tu

[BillMc]

Gasol is the best 6th man this team has ever had. Brilliant signing tbh


Our backup bigs are Gasol and David Lee. How many STARTING bigs are better than that? Not 10 I'd say.

[Robz4000]

Kawhi's free throw shooting :td

[BillMc]

It is sad with how pathetic it's been..

And Jeanie dumped him too. :lol

[bklynspursfan]

That fast break haha...

And Walt Frazier comparing that travel to a euro step. The 2 are very different smh

[spursistan]

Kawhi FT shooting right now :lol

[Chinook]

That's one way to do a two-for-one.

[Robz4000]

Spurs are allergic to large leads...

[BillMc]

Manu stopping the 3 on 1 break! :toast

[BillMc]

Knicks suckitude is contagious. Quarantine the whole team.

[spursistan]

Kawhi's free throw shooting :td
It is really becoming an issue as the season winds down..A missed FT here and there for go-to guy and designated shooter could cost you a crucial playoffs game..

[Robz4000]

:lmao this lineup

[Robz4000]

Spurs are shitting away their chance to blow this game wide open. What is Pop thinking with this lineup? The only spacing is provided by fucking Simmons.

[FkLA]

Heat check hero embarrassing himself :lmao

[FkLA]

Daddy Yankee 'Gasolina'? What is this 2005? Fuck outta here.

[bklynspursfan]

That Dedmon rebound... He has to keep the ball up high. Once u bring it down, you're vulnerable to a swipe.

Grab it with 2 hands.. TD was so good at doing that

[$pursDynasty]

If Kyle does it is it a fast break?

[spursistan]

Det Fathead fastbreak :wow :lol

[FkLA]

Heat check hero heat checking again. :lol

[gambit1990]

Heat check hero heat checking again. :lol

[Robz4000]

Welp, the offense is dead again.

[FkLA]

Kawhi has 1 FGA with the hero on the floor.

Sean Elliott practically begging the hero to let the offense run through Kawhi.

[spursistan]

Spurs are allergic to large leads...

[FkLA]

Porker out. Kawhi gets a good look seconds later.

Going down the rabbit hole they went down in 2015. How'd letting hero take the offensive reins away from Kawhi work out that year?

[spursistan]

Can these fools blow a game wide open for change and rest starters...

[bklynspursfan]

that should be and 1...

[spursistan]

Pau since coming back from injury in his bench role <3

[Robz4000]

Ball really moved better with Parker off the floor.

[TheGreatYacht]

Best 6th man in franchise history

http://airalamo.com/files/2016/10/9621104-pau-gasol-nba-preseason-san-antonio-spurs-orlando-magic.jpg

Pay that man

[Robz4000]

Pau since coming back from injury in his bench role <3

And people wanna move him back to the SL...

[BillMc]

Pau having Kobe flashbacks with Kawhi missing him for open looks. :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

And people wanna move him back to the SL...
I mean, he's basically a starter since Deadman can't stay on the floor for 2 minutes...

[BillMc]

And people wanna move him back to the SL...

He'll get his minutes anyway with the foul-machine in front of him

[spursistan]

I know Dedmon has hit a wall, but this right now more about Pau fitting better offensively and getting less exposed on D when playing with second unit..I wouldn't want to mess up with it..

[TheGreatYacht]

Exactly

[TheGreatYacht]

I'm fine with Deadman starting the first 2 minutes of each half tbh... just don't want dudes in here thinking he deserves starter money this summer.....

[ElNono]

Spurs really missing Danny League, said no one ever...

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurs really missing Danny League, said no one ever...
:lmao

[BillMc]

It amazes me someone doesn't throw a "you can't say "no"" contract at RC. I bet the Knicks could get him for 1/2 to 1/3 of the 60 million Dolan is paying Phil.

[rasuo214]

Dedmon has reverted to early season Dedmon. The guy who could barely get any minutes because he was so foul prone.

[SAGirl]

Love this team. :P
:flag:

[TheGreatYacht]

Looks like whiplash smh

[Robz4000]

Fuck, that didn't look good for Parker.

[$pursDynasty]

Head of the snake takes one to the head

[bklynspursfan]

Well that was an ugly sequence

[Robz4000]

Parker back on the bench.

[BillMc]

Nice steal and pass by KA

[Robz4000]

Yep, this team just can't maintain leads.

[spursistan]

This fuckin team and big leads :lmao..

[TheGreatYacht]

Y'all gotta be grateful they don't have to comeback from a big lead this game tbh

[SAGirl]

man dedmon has been poor in offensive boards too lately.

[Robz4000]

Rose starting to push the Spurs' shit in...

[SAGirl]

sloppy pass by Patty.

[Robz4000]

Rose and Lee torching the Spurs.

[$pursDynasty]

Damn we need Tony back in there

[SAGirl]

Patty sloppy again

[Robz4000]

This is why I didn't like it when I heard Rose was playing tbh. He's historically torched the Spurs, regardless of the situation/team personnel. He's a much more crafty finisher below the rim than Westchimp despite losing athleticism with the knee injuries.

[Robz4000]

Nice box out Gasol you fuck

[Robz4000]

Spurs are really about to choke this lead away...

[SAGirl]

Hernangomez killing Gasol

[BillMc]

Man's rebound by LMA

[SAGirl]

wow dat defense

[SAGirl]

This is horrible defense tbh

[Robz4000]

:lmao fuck Gasol

[SAGirl]

Gasol not even trying. Where is Lee?

[Mikeanaro]

Porker is killing the Spurs, ruined the whole pace of the game, fuck him.

[Darius Bieber]

This team is trash.

[gambit1990]

Damn we need Tony back in there
:lol

[ElNono]

Spurs assistant Becky Hammon, who has been offered the Florida women's coaching job, is not on the SAS bench tonite. @DavidFloresKENS (https://twitter.com/DavidFloresKENS)

Becky getting that job...

[PopTheGOAT]

lol I leave for 20 minutes and now it's only 4 points? :lmao Bruh how?!

[Mikeanaro]

This french piece of shit is helping the Spurs to blow a 20 point lead, now they look like a couple of stangers during a pickup game.

[BillMc]

The minute the #1 is out of reach and #2 is locked in, Pop needs to rest Kawhi about 3 games.

[spursistan]

The Spurs are lowkey hurtling toward the playoffs playing their worst basketball since the first few weeks in November.. ..

[BillMc]

maybe this thread will get to 10 pages now
Mention Jimmer, that should do it.

[$pursDynasty]

Damn MVPARKER is the #1 option on this lineup

[Robz4000]

The minute the #1 is out of reach and #2 is locked in, Pop needs to rest Kawhi about 3 games.

With the Spurs' remaining schedule and how hot Houston has been of late, the #2 seed isn't safe.

[Robz4000]

:lmao this team is so mentally soft it's unreal

[SAGirl]

[playbonner15]

LOL Spurs released the foot off the gas pedal and dont care

[Robz4000]

David Lee is also low-key going through his worst stretch of the season right now...

[Darius Bieber]

The Spurs might be the worst team in the playoffs this season.

[spursistan]

With the Spurs' remaining schedule and how hot Houston has been of late, the #2 seed isn't safe.
Looking back, those 4 straight late-game luck outs( IND, NOP, Wolves,Rox) are what might end-up saving them from falling behind..Otherwise, this team has been mediocre for a month now..

[BillMc]

David Lee is also low-key going through his worst stretch of the season right now...
True. Hopefully its a blip

[BillMc]

Patty the playmaker.

[DarrinS]

The Spurs might be the worst team in the playoffs this season.

Worst sports franchise of the past 20 years.

Oh yeah, just the opposite.

[Robz4000]

Knicks are showing far more heart and grit than the Spurs.

[Robz4000]

Refs killing the Spurs per par

[FkLA]

Just started the 2nd half...Hernangomez doing the lord's work :lol :tu

[PopTheGOAT]

Patty has shot better lately

[sasaint]

I know Dedmon has hit a wall, but this right now more about Pau fitting better offensively and getting less exposed on D when playing with second unit..I wouldn't want to mess up with it..

:tu

[ElNono]

lol Biebs back to the cave

[Robz4000]

Just started the 2nd half...Hernangomez doing the lord's work :lol :tu

The Hernangomez twins have become the best brothers in the NBA and it's only their rookie season. Scary.

[Robz4000]

Game is far from over with the Knicks in the bonus and hitting everything.

[Ditty]

Damn the Knicks are making so many bullshit shots :lol

Spurs are pretty dang good defensively when they want to be. They will be fine.

Offense will hopefully start really clicking when they stop coasting in the playoffs.

[DarrinS]

When Patty is on, he can change a game quick.

[BillMc]

lol Biebs back to the cave
:lol

[Robz4000]

Fucking Derrick Rose

[sasaint]

man dedmon has been poor in offensive boards too lately.

He had 3 at the half. No other Spur had 1.

[SAGirl]

Well Gasol 3..!

[SAGirl]

He had 3 at the half. No other Spur had 1.
Yea,
I just happened to watch several sequences he missed opportunities... I think getting back on defense is better than O boarding but since he hangs in there...

[sasaint]

Rose starting to push the Spurs' shit in...

Auditioning for Spurs - SpursTalk

[bklynspursfan]

:lmao this team is so mentally soft it's unreal

Mentally soft teams don't come back from all the deficits we've had to, tbh.

Just gotta hope come playoff time the focus is there for longer stretches

[Ditty]

The Spurs have the worst in game music in the league. Has the Spurs arena music person been living under a rock since 2003 playing in da club by 50 cent? :lol

[BillMc]

Porzingis should demand a trade. He can't develop in Dolan-Phil Hell.

He's loyal and in a great position. I could see him taking an offer when Pop retires.

[FkLA]

The Hernangomez twins have become the best brothers in the NBA and it's only their rookie season. Scary.

Oh, I was just talking about him putting Enrique on his ass. I don't really watch Knicks games enough to know much about his game, tbh.

[BillMc]

Funny how many STers said they woudnt take him for the min.

[FkLA]

He was playing Gasolina by Daddy Yankee earlier too.

[SAGirl]

Kawhi 3 is back!:toast:claw

[BillMc]

Cavs suck.

[Robz4000]

Spurs should've been resting their starters the entire fourth. Instead Kawhi had to play 40 fucking minutes on tired legs.

[Budkin]

Cavs suck.

Though you know that when we play them Monday it's going to be the game where they "find" themselves and turn their season around. The Spurs are great at springboarding struggling teams.

[SAGirl]

Funny how many STers said they woudnt take him for the min.
I
didn't comment bc really haven't watched Drose much at all.. and the only thing that stood out this season is the civil case for gang rape. Just on principle I don't like him.:toast

[Ditty]

He was playing Gasolina by Daddy Yankee earlier too.

:lol I remember two years ago, or last year one of the posters here tweeted him to play a terrible song on purpose, or actually went up to tell him shit about how terrible DJ he is.

[bklynspursfan]

Porzingis should demand a trade. He can't develop in Dolan-Phil Hell.

Agreed

[sasaint]

Funny how many STers said they woudnt take him for the min.

I think he carries too much baggage for PATFO to go for him.

[BillMc]

Spurs should've been resting their starters the entire fourth. Instead Kawhi had to play 40 fucking minutes on tired legs.

No wonder they canned your ass from Sesame Street News, frog. :lol:toast

[Robz4000]

Rose will never play for the Spurs due to character issues, but I'd take him strictly so he couldn't torch the Spurs in 2+ games a year.

[SAGirl]

That was ugly at the end... anyways... game got closer than it should have been but a win is a win.

Manu loves to get his Enrique on with end of quarter shots, tbh.

Needing 40 minutes and 30 pts from Kawhi to beat the fuckin dumpster fire, tanking Knicks at home...This team is in a bad place right now..

Basically Leonard/Lee/Dedmon regressing to the mean and no one picking up the slack has them looking extremely vulnerable..

At this point, would you be surprised if we find ourselves down 1-2 in 1st round series to either OKC/Mem? I wouldnt..they have looked the part of fodder lower seed for more than a month now..

How the fuck does this team struggle at home against the Knicks? What a joke, can't believe how shit they're playing so close to the playoffs.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Good win. The final tough stretch this week is going to be brutal. Will be interesting to see how it plays out.

[spursgu]

Typical post game faggotry. Let's be real the team is coasting. What's the point of them playing dominant ball when they know they have the 2 seed locked up? This team has shown up against the elite teams for the most part all season so they know when to turn up their play. Y'all are just pessimists per par.

So getting homecourt against the Dubs isn't important?

[GSH]

So getting homecourt against the Dubs isn't important?

The question you should be asking is, "How important does Pop think it is?" Unless he's totally lying, he's not losing sleep over it.

[spursgu]

So getting homecourt against the Dubs isn't important?

They aren't catching them though. They had their chance last week and blew it. Either way, people are overreacting to a team that is clearly coasting. But the pessimists always gotta find something to complain about I guess.

[GSH]

Rose will never play for the Spurs due to character issues, but I'd take him strictly so he couldn't torch the Spurs in 2+ games a year.


Rose had a great night, and still shot 45% from the floor. And that's only because he didn't shoot any 3's tonight.
