Always hate playing good teams who are struggling when they play us. The Cavs are 5-5 over their last 10 games, and haven't looked good at all.

Pretty much every game is a must win if we want the #1 seed. Gotta take care of business tonight

[LaMarcus Bryant]

DPG probably gonna spill more of his BS any sec now

[xellos88330]

Go Spurs Go!

[DPG21920]

DPG probably gonna spill more of his BS any sec now

In!

[Spurs da champs]

Maybe Tony has a throwback game or Patty kills it, Cavs have been getting torched by pgs as of late.

[NameLess Scrub]

A little "redemption" game for the Cavs.

Expect RJ to have some sort of revenge/retro game vs the Spurs.

Meanwhile Warriors keep winning.

Well, at least we are now 200% sure Durant doesn't get the MVP :lol

[$pursDynasty]

I don't watch the Cav's that closely but I thought the narrative was that they have been getting killed by bigs in the paint lately. At least that is what I thought the Nuggets did to them.

Pretty much every game is a must win if we want the #1 seed. Gotta take care of business tonight Agree..at least both teams have motivation to win. It'll be the same with GSW. They haven't best us and will be gunning for a win. Go Spurs!!

[DPG21920]

Maybe Tony has a throwback game or Patty kills it, Cavs have been getting torched by pgs as of late.

Unfortunately Kyrie has been going bonkers overall and especially we've seen him torch SA before. Not hopeful of TP being able to stop him.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs are going to get wrecked unfortunately

Go Spurs Go! :flag:

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs won't win this week. Book it.

[TheGreatYacht]

Green will let his guy drop at least 25

[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 cavs, 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

:lol that is so arbitrary to me. I mean, it may end up proving true in hindsight but it's really difficult to ascertain anything from looking at just one game.

[Spur|n|Austin]

:lol that is so arbitrary to me. I mean, it may end up proving true in hindsight but it's really difficult to ascertain anything from looking at just one game.

:lol "pivotal" and "crucial" get thrown around way too much around here for practically meaningless RS games.

[DPG21920]

:lol "pivotal" and "crucial" get thrown around way too much around here for practically meaningless RS games.

Especially when it's more about the level of play. Like, what if SA plays a great game tonight but misses some good looks? That stuff happens, even in the playoffs. Or what if they barely eek out a win or lose tonight and beat the living hell out of GS on Wednesday?

[rastaspur]

You have copied and pasted this take in three straight game threads. Your take is robotic.

[gambit1990]

this is gonna be the best week outta the whole season. we play CLE, GSW, OKC.

then next week starts off next week with UTA and MEM.

best five game stretch of the season. tired of playing scrub ass teams.

Kyle Korver out tonight.

[NameLess Scrub]

Kyle Korver out tonight.

Just opening up time for the random scrub that will score 20 on the Spurs.

[Strategic]

Looking for a great effort from the Spurs in this one. Good guys win by 12.

LMAOOO

deja vu?

Anyone out for rest tonight from Cavs? Might go to the game.

[MultiTroll]

FGAs for ForceFed LMA?

Does Bertie see the floor?

[Spur|n|Austin]

Anyone out for rest tonight from Cavs? Might go to the game.

Only Korver I believe.

[cd98]

LeBron James will be out to show he's the MVP. If Kawhi shuts him down, he'll be the equivalent of broken air conditioner.

[DPG21920]

One thing I haven't seen discussed too much in the context of Danny Green's shooting slump is rest. Pop rested Danny against NY and I wonder if Danny will get anymore rest time.

He's really been the only one outside of his injury to start the year to not get rest games and Pop finally did just that. I wonder if we see a flame throwing Danny today because of it?

[DPG21920]

I'm excited to see this game. CLE has really, really been bad on defense and SA has shown signs lately of getting into more of an offensive grove. This *should* be a game where SA can get some good looks and get going on offense.

[spurs10]

easy win Like that thinking!

Over/Under: Danny Green 2.5 3-pointers made?

[r0drig0lac]

great game

Over/Under: Danny Green 2.5 3-pointers made?

Let's hope over. I managed to eek into my FBB finals, and I'd really like DG, KL and KI to have strong games.

:lol I lost unexpectedly. I've won 6 out of 9 years and finished 3rd the other 3. This year 5th because Cousins and Devin Booker decided to miss games the week before last smh.

But I'm going over because CLE defense has been bad, Shumpert out & Danny had rest.

[bklynspursfan]

This. Fucking hate that shit. They always seem to find their rhythm against us. I'm already pumped. Can't wait for 7 to come around.

Yea.. i just hope we are sharp defensively and don't allow Kyrie to drop 50+ on us again

[SAGirl]

With 10 games left in the regular season, Spurs coach Gregg Popovich admits his team is not yet where he’d like it to be.
“I don’t want any turnovers, I want to make every shot, I want to stop everybody,” Popovich deadpanned.


“These last few games will test us to see if we’re really ready for the playoffs or not,” guard Manu Ginobili said. “I think it’s more about playing well … staying healthy. If we win, great. If we don’t and we learn, I think it’s good too.”

[DPG21920]

:lmao that JR Smith shot

[RD2191]

Green already scrubbing it up.

[RD2191]

Can't score against one of the worst defense in the league. :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Every team doubling Kawhi now. Just leave Deadman and Danny open, they suck.

[SASdynasty!]

Rip salty that Parker shut him down on the last shot in G5

[SpursIndonesia]

Verde got an out of jail pass from LBJ.

[SAGirl]

dedmon not looking too good so far...

[DPG21920]

Stupid, stupid foul by Dedmon on the offensive board. Kawhi was in and out there!

[Robz4000]

God damnit Dedmon

[TheGreatYacht]

Always count on Deadman to get in foul trouble early :lmao

LMAO @ his fans

[RD2191]

Kawhi dropping dimes

[ace3g]

Pau "Stretch 5" Gasol

[TheGreatYacht]

Best Center on the team already making an impact

[DPG21920]

Man, Lebron's passing is so ridiculous! His ability to quickly, accurately and effortlessly pass from all angles cross-court is astounding.

[r0drig0lac]

nice start

[RD2191]

Hero ball

[SAGirl]

Dedmon worries... this would be his first season in a regular rotation even. Now he's starting. He's never been to the playoffs as far as I know.
Potential foul machine coming right up.
Luckily there is Pau.:toast

[DPG21920]

Pau's shooting has been stupid good - love it. If SA had Pau instead of Tim last year vs OKC with all the looks Tim passed up/missed, they win for sure.

[Strategic]

Every team doubling Kawhi now. Just leave Deadman and Danny open, they suck.Gasol can cure some of that shit

[SAGirl]

Man, Lebron's passing is so ridiculous! His ability to quickly, accurately and effortlessly pass from all angles cross-court is astounding.
Generational talent.
Has to be appreciated.

[313]

Was half expecting Porky to miss that

[Robz4000]

Cleveland's defense really is awful. If the Spurs were consistently hitting their shots they'd have a double digit lead already.

[TheGreatYacht]

Gasol can cure some of that shit
Exactly. Gasol is getting all the open looks he wants with Kawhi handling the ball

[Splits]

Manu looks great (benched)

[808]

Patty :lol

[PopTheGOAT]

Man, Lebron's passing is so ridiculous! His ability to quickly, accurately and effortlessly pass from all angles cross-court is astounding.
As he makes a lazy pass that gets stolen :lol
You're right though

[ace3g]

Patty, lol

[r0drig0lac]

Green!!!!

[PopTheGOAT]

Patty can dunk??

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Fucking dedmon

[RD2191]

Lol Green

[SASdynasty!]

Put Parker on Kyrie already

[DPG21920]

Danny bricked his first wide open look. Sucks. Needs to hit.

[FaM0us Skins]

:flag:

[TheGreatYacht]

Manu looks great (benched)

[PopTheGOAT]

Gasol's "defense" lol

[Robz4000]

Not happy with the defense so far, but Irving always seems to torch the Spurs so I'm not sure how effective they can be on that end.

[Strategic]

Pop wants to know why teams get to the rim so easy. Timmy's still living in his head.

[SpursIndonesia]

With Gasol, offense is more flowing but god damn that matador defense ! :bang

[DPG21920]

Not happy with the defense so far, but Irving always seems to torch the Spurs so I'm not sure how effective they can be on that end.

He's been torching everyone tbh..his offensive production this year is off the charts and it's not getting any publicity because Westbrook & Harden.

[DPG21920]

What a hesitation move by Kyrie. He missed but he is so filthy quick and his handle is so tight that it's crazy.

[RD2191]

[SpursIndonesia]

Thompson gets away with murder every time he sets up a screen.

[DPG21920]

Spurs looking good. Very focused, getting good looks. Had a couple defensive lapses but overall great energetic start to a big game.

[Ron Swanson]

Dick :lol

[FaM0us Skins]

Damn Danny missed it

[FaM0us Skins]

Gasol!

[r0drig0lac]

beautiful game

[808]

Noooice

[Ron Swanson]

10 pt lead after 1. I'll fucking take that.

[rasuo214]

Pau is currently the best 3pt shooter on the team.

[Strategic]

Bring it!

[SpursIndonesia]

Green has lost his shooting touch. :depressed

[TheGreatYacht]

MVPau! Best 6th man in franchise history

[SAGirl]

Gasol!

[bklynspursfan]

Solid start. Gotta clean up a few things defensively tho, they had about 2-3 wide open looks that they just missed.

Offense looks pretty good overall

[FaM0us Skins]

Pau is a better 3pt shooter than Curry

[Robz4000]

Good first quarter for the most part. Spurs have missed a lot of good looks (looking at you, Green and Lee). Other than that and some defensive lapses, everything looks great. The way Kawhi is facilitating I could see him with a career high in assists tonight.

[Pocho La Pantera]

MVPau! Best 6th man in franchise history hahaha you mf.

[Ron Swanson]

Luda, don't hang out with KG. :lol

[r0drig0lac]

MVPau! Best 6th man in franchise history

haha..this guy....

Incredible how pure Pau's 3 pointers are right now.

Don't get too comfy. Cavs just toying with the Spurs

[Darius Bieber]

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Jeff McDonald just tweeted Cavs are 2nd worst defense since ASB

[bklynspursfan]

Don't get too comfy. Cavs just toying with the Spurs

I'm never comfy during games. I'm just sort of commenting on how that first quarter went

[SPURt]

I wish Manu and Pau good do this every game

LeBron took 3 steps on that dunk

Lebron with some goods

[sasaint]

Crofl green is worthless

Nonsense.
Dribbling is overrated...
Passing is overrated...
Shooting is overrated...

[Ron Swanson]

Just let Lebron dunk that. You're not going to stop him, Simmons.

[DPG21920]

Come on Simmons

[Leetonidas]

Simmons comes in and immediately makes retarded foul lol

[RD2191]

Fathead!!

[sasaint]

Just let Lebron dunk that. You're not going to stop him, Simmons.

Or bear hug Lebron.

Kyle should be in this game rather than Simmons.

[DPG21920]

Oh man! TP with a beautiful move just rimmed out.

[SAGirl]

Dayum Kyle:toast

[TheGreatYacht]

God damn it why is Lee still in?

[Robz4000]

Lebron Cinderella call

[Darius Bieber]

Damn the Spurs defense sucks

[SAGirl]

Afraid Lee is not going to win this match with Love...
maybe he will suprise me.

[Chinook]

What the fuck is up with continuation? Lebron didn't even had the ball when he was "fouled"

[sasaint]

Where was the foul?

[TheGreatYacht]

TNT needs to chill the fuck out with the god damn replays. Missing every play

[DAF86]

How's that a continuation? Lebron got fouled before he got the ball.

[Ron Swanson]

They gave him continuation on that? :lol

[bklynspursfan]

How in the hell does that count? The whistle blew before he had the freaking ball. Dude starts crying and gets all the calls

[PopTheGOAT]

I guess Lebron shoving Kawhi is a foul on Kawhi

[DPG21920]

Well at least someone gets superstar calls in SA

[100%duncan]

Jesus that continuation :lmao

[Nathan89]

They gave him continuation on that? :lol

Fucking retarded.

[DPG21920]

Pop got a tech too

[RD2191]

WTF is this gay shit

[SAGirl]

Glad to have Becky back.

[Ron Swanson]

Rip Hamilton brings up a good point about Lebron whining earlier and now he gets the stupid calls.

[DPG21920]

Damn Kawhi

[bklynspursfan]

Hopefully that fires up this team. Pop was 100% right

[r0drig0lac]

Magic Kyle...dafuq

[DPG21920]

Beautiful by Kyle! He's easy to trust with the ball in his hands and makes great decisions

[808]

Kyle the defensive anchor

Let's go!!!

[DarrinS]

Fathead having an impact!

[Spurs da champs]

Fathead beasting tbh

Played good against them last game to. This matchup suits him.

[100%duncan]

Kawhi's playmaking, anyone? Dude's definitely improved. I can't tell which is more beautiful, that or his mj-esque shots.

[Chinook]

Kyle with those amoeba arms. Don't think I've ever seen someone defend a screen by not actually getting around it.

[Robz4000]

In some matchups Simmons should be getting minutes, while in others Fathead is the superior choice. Hope Pop realizes this and doesn't stick solely with one or the other.

[Raven]

remember when people were doubting Kyle's D?

[SPURt]

This is a fun game, lots of defense to offense

[Ron Swanson]

Kyle with those amoeba arms. Don't think I've ever seen someone defend a screen by not actually getting around it.

:lmao

[Chinook]

That Navy Fed CU commercial is just awkward with that audio desync.

[ElNono]

remember when people were doubting Kyle's D?

I still doubt it, tbh, but he's been good on both ends so far tonight

[spursistan]

Kyle.Needs.More.Minutes.TBH.

[8FOR!3]

You can tell Kyle's a player when the game's not too fast for him. Once he catches up with what's going on he looks like he's a step ahead of everybody. We will have to remember he's useful against Cleveland if that's what it comes down to

[FaM0us Skins]

:lma

[Chinook]

:lmao

He just put an arm on each side and was like, "I'm deflecting this no matter how you try to throw it".

[DPG21920]

LMA crapping on Love on both ends in that sequence

[TheGreatYacht]

Incredible defense by TP!

[Ron Swanson]

Det defense tho

Slow-mo is in normal playback mode right now

Some of the best defense we've seen this year tbh

[bklynspursfan]

That defense.....

[Raven]

holy cow i love it

[808]

Haha flat earth motherfucker

[DPG21920]

Damn! Look at this team's crispness on defense

[Robz4000]

Should've been an offensive foul on Irving there.

[ElNono]

:lol did Lebron call that timeout?

[SAGirl]

Wow Kyle got shoved... this is playoff basketball I hope guys don't get nicked or injured here.

[bklynspursfan]

Kyle with those amoeba arms. Don't think I've ever seen someone defend a screen by not actually getting around it.

That's his best asset, cause I don't know if I've ever seen him get thru a screen haha

[Leetonidas]

Spurs are always locked in against the top teams this season :wow

[Ron Swanson]

:lol did Lebron call that timeout?

He has cramps

[SAGirl]

:lol did Lebron call that timeout?

[larrychen21]

Lebron just said " I think we need a timeout" then Lue called timeout
