2017 Playoffs (WC/R1) Game 1 Thread: Spurs vs Grizzlies (7:00 PM CT/3:00 AM Riga/TNT)

[DPG21920]

Felt better about it once I saw Allen was out tbh. Kawhi's play tonight is sustainable without Allen to defend him. Still think it's a 6-7 game series though.

Rob :lol. My man. I love you but have I not been consistent about this MEM matchup for a while now?

[peacemaker885]

TP's play is exquisite

[Robz4000]

:lmao

?

[BillMc]

TP and Danny laughing at ST

[Pauleta14]

Parker brining back the teardrop.

never understood why he kinda quit using it when it's such a weapon...

[ducks]

Nice Simmons is getting minutes also
Like Bertans to play also

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I'm having flashbacks to the Nick Van Exel season now. SMH.
He was a stinker. Stunted Udrih's growth and contributed to us losing him and him having a solid career elsewhere. Worst shot selection out of anyone in Spur history and he only played for us for a year. Hate that fucker.

[100%duncan]

He's inactive.

Wtf. Brynn forbes lmao

[bklynspursfan]

Felt better about it once I saw Allen was out tbh. Kawhi's play tonight is sustainable without Allen to defend him. Still think it's a 6-7 game series though.

I'll be upset if it's more than 5 tbh. It really shouldn't be

[sasaint]

Going to game 2 :tu.

Great win for SA. MEM took a big punch with Gasol going off and it was still a double digit blowout

This.

[kjhip1]

The D locked in and eliminated what Conley was trying to do. Great d in second half

[sasaint]

I'll be upset if it's more than 5 tbh. It really shouldn't be

I agree. Not the way things went tonight.

[FkLA]

Forbes active instead of Murray? GTFO Pop.

[RD2191]

My god Parker... Looks great out there. Usual suspects are quiet
Lol. We're up 20, of course he looks great. This is when he does his usual stat padding.

[$pursDynasty]

Is Murray active?

[bklynspursfan]

His shot is falling from everywhere. He has excellent quickness and speed. I just hope he can sustain...

He's gonna have his struggles I'm sure, but we need this most nights. Same with LMA. No more passiveness, he was aggressive as well.

[spursistan]

Forbes ahead of Murray in the playoff grabage time rotation :lol..

[UNT Eagles 2016]

He's inactive.
But WHY?!? Forbes is garbage and doesn't play defense.

[Uriel]

Where's Dejounte?

[Chinook]

:lol How is Forbes active over Murray?

[Robz4000]

Rob :lol. My man. I love you but have I not been consistent about this MEM matchup for a while now?

Wanna wait til game 2/3 to see if their scrubs continue to play like shit. Actually think Gasol can replicate this performance a few more times so Memphis just needs a vintage VC game/some other random scrub going for 20 to compliment him and Conley, and obviously their bench will play better at home.

[007nites]

Lee has done a great job on Randolph all game. Not sure if anyone else noticed this.

[bklynspursfan]

Lol. We're up 20, of course he looks great. This is when he does his usual stat padding.

Yea , I guess you missed the first half...

[Ron Swanson]

Davis coming in

[100%duncan]

Pop trying to be cute. Playing beta cucks like forbes as opposed to studs like murray smh

[Maddog]

Why in the world is Conley and gasol still in for the Grizz

[spursistan]

Fuckin Playoff Poop :lmao.

[RD2191]

Yea , I guess you missed the first half...

He did ok.

[DPG21920]

Nah :lol I'm good. MEM is really a good team and I'm not trying to marginalize them but SA is so much better across the board. Gasol cannot replicate career highs.

[DPG21920]

He did ok.

That is the equivalent of a RD blowie

[tmtcsc]

Kudos to TP for playing a solid game tonight - offense & defense. If he keeps this up, the Spurs will greatly improve their chances of winning it all.

[r0drig0lac]

air Simms

[100%duncan]

Randolph, from shhhing SA to airballing every other shot.

[sasaint]

Why in the world is Conley and gasol still in for the Grizz

To keep us from doubling them up?

[Ron Swanson]

B3rtans!

[r0drig0lac]

Latvian!!

[GSH]

why are Conley and ZBo still out there?

Same reason Tony Allen was in that last RS game.

[Chinook]

I'm seriously wondering if Pop is sitting Murray to make him "get over himself" at this point. I'd rather that than DeJounte having reaggravated his injury.

Not that you can't make an argument that a third PG is unnecessary with Manu playing playoffs minutes.

[Play Boban]

He was a stinker. Stunted Udrih's growth and contributed to us losing him and him having a solid career elsewhere. Worst shot selection out of anyone in Spur history and he only played for us for a year. Hate that fucker.
Yup. Udrih could have been a difference maker in the 2008 playoffs. Instead we ended up with Jacque Vaughn. :lol

Udrih would have had a great career as a solid rotation player here.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

B333333rtans

[Nathan89]

TP just brought all of Spurstalk right back in. :wow

[100%duncan]

Shooterrr

[Robz4000]

Nah :lol I'm good. MEM is really a good team and I'm not trying to marginalize them but SA is so much better across the board. Gasol cannot replicate career highs.

On paper for sure, but their offense has been so easy to shut down that I'm not taking anything for granted. Luckily their best option to defend Kawhi 1-on-1 is out so he should have an easier time when the double teams start coming en masse.

[Brazil]

He did ok.

:lol

[ElNono]

It was kinda a given Dijon would be out, tbh... Pop always plays who brought them there, and that's been Forbes et all to close the season...

[007nites]

I'm seriously wondering if Pop is sitting Murray to make him "get over himself" at this point. I'd rather that than DeJounte having reaggravated his injury.

Rather have him getting some playoff experience

[dabom]

Forbes active instead of Murray? GTFO Pop.

"he earned it" - :pop:

[sasaint]

Nah :lol I'm good. MEM is really a good team and I'm not trying to marginalize them but SA is so much better across the board. Gasol cannot replicate career highs.

Exactly. Our D after their first quarter explosion was stifling, tbh.

[100%duncan]

Didnt he play the last rs games? Pop is just being a jerk

[GSH]

Kudos to TP for playing a solid game tonight - offense & defense. If he keeps this up, the Spurs will greatly improve their chances of winning it all.

If Tony plays like this, it changes everything.

I'd still like to see the first and second PG's have more than 2 AST between them. But I'll take this Tony Parker every night.

[Robz4000]

I'm seriously wondering if Pop is sitting Murray to make him "get over himself" at this point. I'd rather that than DeJounte having reaggravated his injury.

Not that you can't make an argument that a third PG is unnecessary with Manu playing playoffs minutes.

Murray hasn't played meaningful minutes in a month while Forbes has been getting them regularly for weeks now. Obviously I'm not a fan of the decision but I understand Pop's mindset and fully expected it.

[DPG21920]

Exactly. Our D after their first quarter explosion was stifling, tbh.

As much as well live play to play (I do it to), SA has the best defense in the league. Game planning and practice is massive for good teams and SA has had that vs MEM :tu

[Brazil]

Porker with the scrubs. :lol

:lol are you complaining ?

[DarrinS]

Who's the bigger faggot, Darius Beiber or TheGreatYaght?

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Yup. Udrih could have been a difference maker in the 2008 playoffs. Instead we ended up with Jacque Vaughn. :lol

Udrih would have had a great career as a solid rotation player here.

Also, NVE dissed the military and the flag and David Robinson during his time with the Mavs. He was basically the Colon Krapernick of the early '00s. That waste of carbon space can go die, tbh.

Vaughn was actually a solid contributor in the '07 title team ala Claxton in the '03 playoffs, but he fell of sharply after that. Udrih would have been a far better option than a Damon Stoudamire.

[kjhip1]

Honestly it's gasol, Conley and scrubs....no way San Antonio doesn't end this in 4 or 5

[marinoman]

It's always funny going back to the early pages and hearing posters panic

[DPG21920]

It was kinda a given Dijon would be out, tbh... Pop always plays who brought them there, and that's been Forbes et all to close the season...

Yup. That injury really hurt Murray. Not his fault, just facts.

[BillMc]

MEMPHIS WILL NOT SCORE 90 despite Marc having a career game. Not a good sign for Grizz.

[r0drig0lac]

sick block

[Rummpd]

Wow

[$pursDynasty]

Juice

[DPG21920]

It's always funny going back to the early pages and hearing posters panic

Won't find me in there :lol

Simmons :lmao

[Ron Swanson]

RIP Wayne Selden

[007nites]

THE JUICE!

[dabom]

:lol are you complaining ?

I don't mind him taking that 3rd unit to the promise land. :lol

[Silver&Black]

Block Party

[sasaint]

I'm seriously wondering if Pop is sitting Murray to make him "get over himself" at this point. I'd rather that than DeJounte having reaggravated his injury.

Me, too. It kinda seems like something is going on beyond an injury.

[DPG21920]

On paper for sure, but their offense has been so easy to shut down that I'm not taking anything for granted. Luckily their best option to defend Kawhi 1-on-1 is out so he should have an easier time when the double teams start coming en masse.

Rob, I am going to Europe in 15 days basically. I would love to watch a game with you before I go.

[Budkin]

What a fucking turnaround of a game. It was like the opposite of the Dubs game.

[bklynspursfan]

I'm seriously wondering if Pop is sitting Murray to make him "get over himself" at this point. I'd rather that than DeJounte having reaggravated his injury.

Not that you can't make an argument that a third PG is unnecessary with Manu playing playoffs minutes.

Possible he saw Murray not moving as well as he should and opted to sit him. Or the fact that he missed so much valuable time down the stretch.who knows...

It's not a big deal, people have this obsession, but he'll have his time. Right now he'd only play in garbage time anyway.

[gilmor]

Manu score 0 points??

[Silver&Black]

Block Party

[100%duncan]

:lmao seats are starting to empty

[DPG21920]

Manu score 0 points??

Manu was fine in context, but I posted numbers about TP vs Manu in this series. Manu has struggled mightlly vs MEM

[ElNono]

Manu score 0 points??

yeah, he was everywhere today...

[Ron Swanson]

Completely shit all over them after the 1st quarter

[bklynspursfan]

That Simmons block will be on ESPN possibly, but ideally I'd like him to block it and regain possession. Similar to Kawhi on Westbrook in 14. He was in perfect position to snatch it away

[ducks]

sick block

[sasaint]

MEMPHIS WILL NOT SCORE 90 despite Marc having a career game. Not a good sign for Grizz.

Exactly. I just hope that we can take the series in 4 or 5 and get a little rest.

[007nites]

Get that weak shit outta here

[TheCultOfPersonality]

The Spurs' scrubs are better than the Grizzlies' scrub no surprise here.

[Brazil]

I don't mind him taking that 3rd unit to the promise land. :lol

Nah Parker is altruist 3rd is for Kyle tbh

[tmtcsc]

Good Gawd, the Spurs gave up 30 points in the 1st quarter and Memphis has only scored 41 the rest of the game so far. Memphis really needed Parsons and Allen to have a chance at going deep this year. Parsons being Parson f*cked that all up. What a waste that dude has been.

[cd98]

I'm seriously wondering if Pop is sitting Murray to make him "get over himself" at this point. I'd rather that than DeJounte having reaggravated his injury.

Not that you can't make an argument that a third PG is unnecessary with Manu playing playoffs minutes.

Murray missed too many games and Forbes played well the last few games. I think he just trusted Forbes more. Probably valued Forbes three point shooting. I think Murray is in year 1 of a 3 year plan.

[Silver&Black]

Call me greedy, but I want to win by 40.

[100%duncan]

The Spurs' scrubs are better than the Grizzlies' scrub no surprise here.

Memphis' 5 wont blow out the Spurs' 3rd unit. Correct or not?

[r0drig0lac]

hahaha kyle

[Brazil]

Kyle Anderson ladies and gentlemen... :lmao

[cd98]

Manu score 0 points??

Yep but he still impacted the game.

[GSH]

That Simmons block will be on ESPN possibly, but ideally I'd like him to block it and regain possession. Similar to Kawhi on Westbrook in 14. He was in perfect position to snatch it away


Simmons was pissed because he thought he'd been getting fouled on the other end. He did exactly what he was trying to do with that block. I'd rather see the Spurs get possession, but he was working out some frustration.

Dedmon got a block right after that and Simmons didn't try to take off in transition - he pulled it back and made sure not to do something stupid. He really is trying to play smarter ball.

[DPG21920]

Makes sense. Some people on here think Pop is anti-Murray and they get so mad. He's not moving the needle this year, but your response seems like the most simple explanation.

Who knows, he may be active at some point anyway

[UNT Eagles 2016]

MEMPHIS WILL NOT SCORE 90 despite Marc having a career game. Not a good sign for Grizz.

They'll be lucky to make it to 80. :lol Suffocating defense, though :tu :tu :tu

[DPG21920]

Spurs, despite our doubts and everything, have been a top defense.

[cd98]

Blowout, yes, but next game starts 0-0 and I remember the Thunder last year. So hope they keep the appropriate fear.

[GSH]

Call me greedy, but I want to win by 40.

I'd take a 1-point win, if they would blow the final buzzer right now. No injuries in garbage time, please.

[bklynspursfan]

Simmons was pissed because he thought he'd been getting fouled on the other end. He did exactly what he was trying to do with that block. I'd rather see the Spurs get possession, but he was working out some frustration.

Makes sense then lol. In a blowout its probably meaninglessness, but just a habit I'd like to see him pick up and I'm sure the coaching staff would appreciate it. He's got the athleticism to do it

[$pursDynasty]

I was really enjoying this game till I realized Dijon was inactive and Forbes was active, then all those blocked shots made me happy again

[BillMc]

They'll be lucky to make it to 80. :lol Suffocating defense, though :tu :tu :tu
:toast

[ducks]

Since the 5:15 mark in first spurs have outscored them 91-46

[bklynspursfan]

DPOY vs just a great block.

Truth

[kjhip1]

Blowout, yes, but next game starts 0-0 and I remember the Thunder last year. So hope they keep the appropriate fear.

Granted but Westbrook and Durant are a lot scarier than gasol and Conley

[CGD]

Murray hasn't played meaningful minutes in a month while Forbes has been getting them regularly for weeks now. Obviously I'm not a fan of the decision but I understand Pop's mindset and fully expected it.

Plus neither is going to really play absent a blow out or Pop needing to go to the well for a spark. In that case Forbes probably has a more useful skill set than Murray at this point

[Horse]

Blowout, yes, but next game starts 0-0 and I remember the Thunder last year. So hope they keep the appropriate fear.
Just as long as the thunderefs don't show up

[tmtcsc]

Murray missed too many games and Forbes played well the last few games. I think he just trusted Forbes more. Probably valued Forbes three point shooting. I think Murray is in year 1 of a 3 year plan.

I'd agree with that. He's got tremendous upside and a bright future but he needs a lot of coaching and reps. He actually contributed more than I thought he would this year.

[Ron Swanson]

Nice moves by Forbes

[Silver&Black]

Hold em under 80

[DeRozan m8]

Good to see the fans have all gone home

[FkLA]

Fat ass lower bowl leaving early in a playoff game. Only in Fat Antonio smh.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

Memphis' 5 wont blow out the Spurs' 3rd unit. Correct or not?

This team that beaten by the Nets by double digits at home. It's possible that they won't.

[GSH]

WTF Forbes? Where has that been all season?

[007nites]

It sucks that everyone on the team got to play a lot except Murray.

[cd98]

Just as long as the thunderefs don't show up

Nothing compares to Thunderref. Most underrated factor in the game.

[SPURt]

God the arena emptied out! Come on

[sasaint]

Murray missed too many games and Forbes played well the last few games. I think he just trusted Forbes more. Probably valued Forbes three point shooting. I think Murray is in year 1 of a 3 year plan.

With our backcourt, Dijon needs to be in year 1 of a 2-year plan.

[DeRozan m8]

Fucking weak ass 3 at the end there

[Ron Swanson]

There goes the 30 point win

[DPG21920]

Hell ya fellow SA fans! Great start to the playoffs. Drinks on DPG

[UNT Eagles 2016]

God fucking damn it. :pctoss didn't want them to get a 3 on the last play... FUCK

[Robz4000]

Rob, I am going to Europe in 15 days basically. I would love to watch a game with you before I go.

:lol no you don't. My friends don't even want to anymore. Not sure what it is about the Spurs but I'm always so pessimistic these days. I think it's the work of 6.

[sasaint]

It sucks that everyone on the team got to play a lot except Murray.

And Anthony.

[cd98]

With our backcourt, Dijon needs to be in year 1 of a 2-year plan.

Ha. But you can't complain about the PGs tonight. They were both great.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

that shit just ruined my night. Wanted them under 80 and the 30+ win

[DPG21920]

:lol no you don't. My friends don't even want to anymore. Not sure what it is about the Spurs but I'm always so pessimistic these days. I think it's the work of 6.

Rob - as long as you are willing to drink excessively, I want to watch with you

[Silver&Black]

Spurs up 1-0. Win 111-82.

We won a playoff game and Duncan wasn't involved, guys...wow.

[100%duncan]

Dudes, where do you watch podium interviews? Give me a link

[UNT Eagles 2016]

that very last play was the team morale booster type you just don't want to give up as a team, tbh...

[Robz4000]

Great start to the postseason. Like I said, not gonna take anything away until after Game 2; Spurs did the same thing to OKC last year then lost 4 out of 5 the rest of the way. Thankfully Memphis just doesn't have the same level of talent, albeit they're smarter/more disciplined/mentally tough.

[FkLA]

God the arena emptied out! Come on

Just the lower bowl. Those wildebeests have been horrible all season, probably making a last stop at the food courts before leaving, tbh.

Not tonight. :toast

Rob - as long as you are willing to drink excessively, I want to watch with you

Always down for that :tu

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I honestly believe sweep... Spurs beat Thunder and Warriors each in 6 game series.

East? Not sure what team will make it out of there, could very well be the bucks.

[BillMc]

We won a playoff game and Duncan wasn't involved, guys...wow.

First time since...2000? When Timmy was injured and we won 1 game, I think.

[NikosChelsea7]

[Darius Bieber]

Just 1 fluke game tbh. Grizzles gonna take the next ones.

[FkLA]

Don't think they do podium interviews for the first round. Will probably just be locker room interviews.

Talent/ Durant/Westbrick weren't the reason why OKC beat us last year and we all know it. It was their 3 megatrons in the paint and the 3 zebras on the sideline.

[Robz4000]

Based on?

Talking about compared to last year's OKC team.

[DPG21920]

Always down for that :tu

I'm going to game 2 (if you will be there let me know and we can meet up). If not, we will figure something out.

[TheCultOfPersonality]

The Spurs top defense versus the 30th rank field goal percentage offense and the 29th rank scoring offense. This is pretty much what you get.

[100%duncan]

Don't think they do podium interviews for the first round. Will probably just be locker room interviews.

Huh, welp, missed the kawhi on court interview as I was watching sean and bill's feed.

[100%duncan]

Talking about compared to last year's OKC team.

Yeah, based on what? Smarter as in Marc and Conley throwing up prayers and hitting. More disciplined as in not doubling kawhi. Mentally tough? I dont think OKC was easy peasy on that department after all they were our boogeymen the past 5 years.

[100%duncan]

Nah, prolly won't make it to a game this series. I'm down to meet up for Game 3 if you are.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

[PopTheGOAT]

What series are y'all most interested in other than this one? I feel like the obvious answer is Thunder-Rockets (mine). None of the others appeal to me really. Maybe Boston will for a few games since Thomas' sister died today

OKC might be the dumbest team I've ever seen. Their offense was literally what you're saying Conley and Gasol are doing, albeit Durant and Westbrook are better at it. They're disciplined enough to follow and stick to a game plan instead of making awful mistakes because they follow their instincts over all. They're mentally tough in that they'll continue to get after it even down 20+ (they've had several huge comebacks this year as well alongside the Spurs/Dubs).

[SpurPadre]

First time since...2000? When Timmy was injured and we won 1 game, I think.

Yeah, you're right. I

[bklynspursfan]

Gobert was just helped off the court 17 seconds into the game. Couldn't put weight on his knee

nba tv right now and nba.Com later

[DPG21920]

Gobert was just helped off the court 17 seconds into the game. Couldn't put weight on his knee

Unreal man. That is so damn brutal. Gobert is the legit DPOY IMO. If he's hurt UTA as ZERO CHANCE. Gobert is a major reason they are even in the playoffs. F*ck this.

[100%duncan]

FkLA they do have podium interviews, if you wanna watch, Fizdale is the first one i think

[Trill Clinton]

:tu can i come? i'll be at a round 2 game tho

Of course :lol. Game 2 is in SA obviously but Game 3 is in MEM. I am down to watch somewhere with ST posters for that game in SA or Austin

Boston/Chicago has 7-game series written all over it imo. Said the same of MIL/TOR but after what Antetokounmpo did to them today on top of their choking ways it might be shorter.

[100%duncan]

Of course :lol. Game 2 is in SA obviously but Game 3 is in MEM. I am down to watch somewhere with ST posters for that game in SA or Austin

I'll show up in my Porker jersey. Look just like him now :lol.

[100%duncan]

Why. I'm swiping left so hard right now.

:lmao

[DPG21920]

Doc :lmao. This is hilarious. "Hero's" speech.

[BillMc]

Kawhi skipping the podium?

[Robz4000]

Will IT miss games? Man losing your sister, and just before the playoffs.

They said during the Spurs/Grizz halftime show he would.

[DPG21920]

I'll show up in my Porker jersey. Look just like him now :lol.

My friend - we are SA fans. Not all of us can be handsome and dashing. I got you.

[spursparker9]

Last season for Doc in LA

[FkLA]

FkLA they do have podium interviews, if you wanna watch, Fizdale is the first one i think

Thanks brah. :tu

[100%duncan]

They said during the Spurs/Grizz halftime show he would.

Chicago should be nowhere near the playoffs tbh

[Trill Clinton]

Of course :lol. Game 2 is in SA obviously but Game 3 is in MEM. I am down to watch somewhere with ST posters for that game in SA or Austin okay if not a round 2 game in SA then yea, austin is cool.

[RD2191]

[Robz4000]

Oh damn, just saw the Jazz lost Gobert right out of the gate. Anyone see how bad his injury was? ESPN made it sound bad.

[PopTheGOAT]

Boston/Chicago has 7-game series written all over it imo. Said the same of MIL/TOR but after what Antetokounmpo did to them today on top of their choking ways it might be shorter.
Toronto is pathetic. They have all they need to challenge in the east. Did Lowry play? Haven't really paid attention to east basketball the last couple of weeks

[100%duncan]

Does the Clipps have a chance of upsetting the warriors? Fuck please

[DPG21920]

https://media.tenor.co/images/65866ba370141523c412fb6c0dd2de6d/tenor.gif

I just told yall I'm getting married in like 2 weeks. Fear not. Even if I were gay, who cares and you should be lucky to have DPG going TP deep in dat a**

[Robz4000]

Yep, and he was godawful (had 6 points).

[100%duncan]

You're drunk right?

[DPG21920]

okay if not a round 2 game in SA then yea, austin is cool.

Ya - I will be in Italy/Germany for Round 2 (my wedding/honeymoon). So it has to be next week sometime for me.

[DPG21920]

You're drunk right?

No, why? Just not homophobic

[100%duncan]

No, why? Just not homophobic

No, I meant you've been saying funny shit the whole thread :lol

Ahh - unlike you playoffs get my hyped up so I'm in a mood where I want to embrace fellow Spurs fans.

[100%duncan]

:lmao :lmao

[Keepin' it real]

Let's hope M Gasol only scores 5 points in the 2nd half after 25 in the first, ala Timmy in 6.

Dang, only 2 points off!

[Trill Clinton]

Ya - I will be in Italy/Germany for Round 2 (my wedding/honeymoon). So it has to be next week sometime for me. okay, i'll see what i can do. congrats btw. im getting married in september:toast

[Ron Swanson]

What series are y'all most interested in other than this one? I feel like the obvious answer is Thunder-Rockets (mine). None of the others appeal to me really. Maybe Boston will for a few games since Thomas' sister died today

Thunder/Rockets, for sure. I'm also interested in Clips/Jazz, but we'll see how serious Gobert's knee injury is.

[BillMc]

My friend - we are SA fans. Not all of us can be handsome and dashing. I got you.

Damn.SA Fans in America are having big-ass orgies and I'm stuck in Europe.:lol

[sasaint]

Toronto is pathetic. They have all they need to challenge in the east. Did Lowry play? Haven't really paid attention to east basketball the last couple of weeks

I really don't want to see Lowry to Spurs threads on ST. He is a lifetime playoff loser, and he proved it again today. Bucks looked like the 3-seed in that game, tbh.

[Robz4000]

Chicago should be nowhere near the playoffs tbh

Boston is a flawed team in itself with IT as their best player, while Chicago has a lot of two-way players (albeit Wade might be done and Rondo is obviously a cancer). Hell, Rondo might get the motivation to do what's needed to beat his former team (which is to let Butler be the alpha).

[100%duncan]

Sucks that Kawhi probably isnt gonna be in the podium. TP in now.

[DPG21920]

okay, i'll see what i can do. congrats btw. im getting married in september:toast

I have been with my Now fiancé for 9 years. It's exciting to see other parts of the world and finally take that next step for us.

Happy for you and yours :tu

[FkLA]

Enrique at the podium smh.

[spursparker9]

Enrique love the spotlight. Also deserved it tbh for this game

[DPG21920]

Damn.SA Fans in America are having big-ass orgies and I'm stuck in Europe.:lol

:lmao I mean, we all know I'm short but I'm like Tom Cruise handsome/short. Just trying to make people feel comfortable. Just get to USA when you can and we got you.

[RD2191]

Enrique at the podium smh.

:lmao

[spursparker9]

lol reporter telling Enrique that social media is saying Enrique has lost it

[Play Boban]

Also, NVE dissed the military and the flag and David Robinson during his time with the Mavs. He was basically the Colon Krapernick of the early '00s. That waste of carbon space can go die, tbh.

Vaughn was actually a solid contributor in the '07 title team ala Claxton in the '03 playoffs, but he fell of sharply after that. Udrih would have been a far better option than a Damon Stoudamire.
Van Exel shot 21% in the 2006 playoffs tbh. Amazing. How did he get minutes over Beno? Poop has poop for brain sometimes tbh... :bang

At least Celtics has a system, good coach, good role players but yeah really flawed and is nowhere near to challenge Cavs. Bulls just play ugly basketball.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Tbf, he mostly went with Barry-Manu backcourt off the bench that dreaded Dallas series. NVE only played spot minutes.

[FkLA]

Enrique at the podium smh.

Man, they were hammering him hard about him being done. Basically asked him what he thought about people saying he was done and if he was saving it for the playoffs. :lol

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Bulls beat the Cavs 4-love in the regular season. Bucks are talented enough to beat Cavs. Cavs are NOT invincible.

[apalisoc_9]

Enrique at the podium smh.

Selfish as usual

[BillMc]

Utah hanging with the Clips even without Gobert.

[DPG21920]

thanks, likewise to you. 9 years is a long time fam. you got a good one to wait that long. blessings to you and the future mrs.dpg.

Ya - she's amazing. Luckily we valued the same things (building careers and traveling) vs just getting married. Had a great 9 years but now it is time and it means a lot to us.

[SPURt]

Oh damn, just saw the Jazz lost Gobert right out of the gate. Anyone see how bad his injury was? ESPN made it sound bad.
I watched the start of the game. 17 seconds in, first Jazz possession Gobert set a pick and crumpled. It looked like his foot got stepped on but the announcers said there was no contact. When he tried get up it looked bad as he couldn't put weight on it. I'd be shocked if he is able to play more this season.

[FkLA]

Ya - she's amazing. Luckily we valued the same things (building careers and traveling) vs just getting married. Had a great 9 years but now it is time and it means a lot to us.

Congrats brah. Srs. I'll probably be taking the lunge pretty soon too, tbh.

Totally off topic but was that a black woman on a Farmers Only.Com commercial, lol

No sh*t? Nice! I'm one of those "been married, but not married" guys for a while :lol. Luckily, through high school and college sports I have a great network of friends that have stayed close, but it still means a lot to me personally to finally be married to the love of my life.

To do it in Europe over 2-3 weeks is just the icing on the proverbial cake tbh..

Pretty much in the same boat. Been together for 6.5 years. Like you, it would just be to make it official but still a big deal. :tu

That's awesome my man. It was strange for me. One of those things that we spoke about openly and I didn't think would be that meaningful for us. But when I actually asked her and saw how emotional she was I realized how much it meant not just to her, but me.

Same once again. We've always had a laid back attitude about it but as the time gets closer I can feel that it's more important than what I thought it would be during those earlier years.

Best of wishes for y'alls wedding, my little man. :toast

Go Spurs go!

WCF against the Dubs will determine that. Whoever comes out of the West wins it all, tbh.
