[rastaspur]

Pussy move pau.

[spurtech09]

[Darius Bieber]

WTF is this offense

[GSH]

"Meanwhile, Mills misses the 3."


They should just record that and replay it over and over.

[bklynspursfan]

Dam.. Patty really isnt feeling it from 3

[MVPCues]

Harden has four fouls and pau goes to the fadeaway...

[TheGreatYacht]

Only our bigs go backwards with a smaller player on them

[Robz4000]

Son of a bitch Mills

[noles1983]

A big on harden in the post, lets back up and do a fadeaway

[$pursDynasty]

Pau can't post up Harden smh

[tholdren]

gay soft

[ElNono]

can Kawhi get a shot, tbh?

[Capt Bringdown]

Must all our big men float away from contact?

[Ice009]

stop fucking playing Mills, PLEASE.

[rastaspur]

Mills playing like garbage

[ViceCity86]

Gasol post offense on Harden. :lol

[unleashbaynes]

Why not draw up a play for leonard

[sasaint]

SA missing too many wide open 3s

Especially Patty. Smh!

[Ron Swanson]

A big on harden in the post, lets back up and do a fadeaway

And Harden has four fouls. smh

[hater]

Rudderless without Parker

These guys are lost

[Chinook]

Damn it, Pop. You've been doing good with resisting those stupid TOs all game. Then you go off and do this.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Ugh... I hate that fucking African ape looking monkey in the middle, tbh... he's fucking annoying as fuck and horribly ugly

[DPG21920]

:lmao that being a foul on Pau

[tholdren]

Only our bigs go backwards with a smaller player on them

you wanted pau. you got him

[spurtech09]

Time for Murray Plz....

[FkLA]

The bigs are doing a pathetic job of exploiting match-ups. That was some weak ass shit by Pau on Harden.

[urunobili]

Gasoft could not bully ball Harden? Really? :pctoss

[timtonymanu]

Smh Mills. I hate the inconsistency from our shooters per game

[SAGirl]

Kawhi is going to take over and get this.

[Nathan89]

TS% though:lmao

[GSH]

Must all our big men float away from contact?


Harden sitting there with four fouls, and Pau doesn't have the stones to go at him hard. SMDH.

[Arcadian]

Sorry guys but Manu is providing absolutely nothing for the spurs when on the floor.

Big 3 officially all dead :(

[spursistan]

Is Poop going to let Mills chuck us out of this game?

[Ice009]

I can't take anymore of Mills. If he comes back, I don't think I can watch the Spurs next season if he's starting. I just can't do it.

[$pursDynasty]

Harden has four fouls and pau goes to the fadeaway...
No basketball iq and even less balls

[DPG21920]

Ugh... I hate that fucking African ape looking monkey in the middle, tbh... he's fucking annoying as fuck and horribly ugly

Don't be a racist idiot.

[Keepin' it real]

Harden has four fouls and pau goes to the fadeaway...

And an airball to boot. Fear the beard. I guess.

[SAGirl]

Smh Mills. I hate the inconsistency from our shooters per game
5-19
they miss HOTS, he was money.
one of those 3 was the crazy JSimms 3 at the buzzer so you can imagine.

[noles1983]

I would take TD even without both knees over these bigs. Fucking pussies.

[Darius Bieber]

Can Murray get some burn please

[UNT Eagles 2016]

A big on harden in the post, lets back up and do a fadeaway

Gasol is a fucking pussy, tbh

[sasaint]

Why in the world will that stubborn old man not give Bertans a chance?

[hater]

Yeah that was soft from BFGPau

Fadeaway air all on Hardon :lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

Fatty Mills has no business getting more than 3M a year.

[TheyCallMePro]

Few notes:

Beverley was out of bounds on that 3 pt miss by Patty earlier that led to the Harden layup.

Pau Gasol fading away with Harden on him was WEAK.

Patty had Capela one on one at the top of the key and gave it up. WTF? Make a move and shoot a 3!

[Ice009]

Smh Mills. I hate the inconsistency from our shooters per game

What inconsistency? This is how Mills plays in the playoffs. What he's doing tonight is his consistent playoff pattern.

I should believe in him, but I'm having a real hard time doing it.

[Ron Swanson]

Don't be a racist idiot.


No shit

[hater]

Seriously if Pop is such a great coach he needs to win this game. Its up for grabs

[daslicer]

Harden has four fouls and pau goes to the fadeaway...

With the way the refs call flops these days that only a 50-50 play for Pau. It could go either way depending on if the refs call the Harden flop. Granted that was a week move I would like to see a jump hook or running hook on an undersized players. Those moves tend to be very efficient for a big.

[ElNono]

we're still in this... time for Kawow to sweep the leg, finish the job....

[KDKSpurs24]

This is a annoying game

[spurtech09]

Patty is messing up ugh.

[GSH]

OMG, Patty is SofaKing useless.

[TheGreatYacht]

Fatty Mills and the short bus krew gotta change their diapers

[spursistan]

MILLs :lmao

[noles1983]

patty gtfo

[Spurminator]

Pau had Harden on the block with four fouls and he went further from the basket to shoot a fadeaway smh

[rastaspur]

It is sad when you have to play defense like you are being robbed or frisked by security in order not to get called for a foul. Smh

[DPG21920]

Mills running an offense :td

[bklynspursfan]

Simmons coming up big.

We were ice cold

[ElNono]

up 6 with 8 mins to go... .Lebron would win this game...

[ace3g]

Simmons continues his high % mid range game

[GSH]

"... they have one playmaker on the floor and that's Kawhi"

And I'm screaming, No, they have Jonathan Simmons. Nice shot Sims.

[spurtech09]

OK lee guarding Ariza?

[sasaint]

give it to KL


Seriously if Pop is such a great coach he needs to win this game. Its up for grabs

This X 1000!

[313]

Simmons taking us home in his hometown :tu

[SAGirl]

fucking Lee

[Darius Bieber]

Rockets fans with the audacity to chant "refs you suck" :lol

[timtonymanu]

That loser Clyde drexler at the game, probably bitching at the officiating

[808]

Harden got a boogie in his beard

[GSH]

up 6 with 8 mins to go... .Lebron would win this game...



:lol Damn, you're working the crowd hard lately.

[noles1983]

At what point after saying "this is a shit lineup" to yourself every time do you realize its just a shitty team?

[spursistan]

Yeah..Kawhi tired..

[Ron Swanson]

Rockets fans whining about the refs is rich.

[SAGirl]

Simmons taking us home in his hometown :tu
:toast

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Leonard in typical choker form. Unbelievable

[ElNono]

:lol Damn, you're working the crowd hard lately.

:lol

[timtonymanu]

Gasol you slow footed fuck.

[spurtech09]

Low scoring games zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

[Capt Bringdown]

Don't know why we shouldn't use Bertans in this game

[soxxx]

We cannot blow this game, this is the game we have to have.

[TheGreatYacht]

Playing two slow stiffs who fadeaway on midgets against small ball :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

We just need a couple stops/scores to build some momentum. Maybe DG can get loose for a couple 3s.

[spurtech09]

Put Murray and Dedmon.....

[Keepin' it real]

Get it the ball!

[Chomag]

Rockets doing what they can to loose this game but Spurs just keep fkn around with these opportunities is killing me lol

[noles1983]

Gasol with the reflexes and court awareness of a blind fucking sloth

[tholdren]

stupid pau just watches a loose ball

[Nathan89]

Leonard in typical choker form. Unbelievable

His ft% doesn't decrease in the clutch you idiot.

[r0drig0lac]

Simmons and Kawhi carrying this team

[ducks]

Leonard in typical choker form. Unbelievable

3 misses from stripe 97 percent oh no

[resistanze]

harden got a T :lol

[Trainwreck2100]

houston has no business being behind, getting all the hustle plays, and easy buckets

[Nathan89]

We need Bertans offense out there but I guess he might get torched on defense.

[bklynspursfan]

That loser Clyde drexler at the game, probably bitching at the officiating

He's the worst color commentator. He and the Cavs/Celtics probably, but Clyde was at the top man

[Capster]

Let's do this Spurs!!!

[GSH]

We just need a couple stops/scores to build some momentum. Maybe DG can get loose for a couple 3s.


That would be SO timely right now. A couple of long ones from Danny, and Houston would start flailing.

[ElNono]

would be nice to knock down a 3 or two...

[cjw]

Anderson's seen a lot of the court in the second half. Just kidding

[noles1983]

those fake harden beards have to be itchy as fuck tbh

[gambit1990]

harden got a tech.

[PopTheGOAT]

Sub LA for Gasol...

[KDKSpurs24]

Harden wants every foul

[hater]

This game up for the taking but Kawhi is tired

We have absolutely nobody else to help him

Lamarcus should take over

Even BFGPau tired

[Ice009]

Gasol with the reflexes and court awareness of a blind fucking sloth

Oh man, that made me laugh, hard.

[808]

Spurs can force harden to switch onto a big at any time, yet they refuse to capitalize on it

[TheGreatYacht]

Closing lineup should be:

Aldridge, Leonard, Simmons, Green, Murray

[SAGirl]

At what point after saying "this is a shit lineup" to yourself every time do you realize its just a shitty team?
To be fair, Pop still trotting Manu out there (or the ghost of Manu) accounts for some of that... then Lee, not made to play against a team like this, and well overplaying Mills bc he doesn't have HOTS. Others have been fine.

[noles1983]

Didnt he get one earlier? wouldnt that be an ejection?

[313]

Kawhi offense been off tonight. If we can still steal this game that'd be huge.

That said, going to need him to string together dominant offensive games if we're going to make it anywhere.

[sasaint]

Don't know why we shouldn't use Bertans in this game

Because STUBBORN doesn't come close to describing Pop. It is killing me this game in particular.

[DPG21920]

Seems like there is only 15 seconds on the shot clock before SA gets settled into offense.

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi being tired is worrisome, but hopefully he gets some juice down the stretch. Also, hopefully LMA can carry the load offensively a bit

[313]

This game up for the taking but Kawhi is tired

We have absolutely nobody else to help him

Lamarcus should take over

Even BFGPau tiredLMA checked out after the first half

[808]

Simmons is playing fantastic

[SAGirl]

That TO was on harden.. he made a pass to a guy that was covered.

[Ron Swanson]

LMA!

[808]

Finally!!!

[bklynspursfan]

That would be SO timely right now. A couple of long ones from Danny, and Houston would start flailing.

Well, not a DG 3, but an And 1 works just as well

[noles1983]

For real though, Bertans is a guy you throw out there and you will know if he is hot like 30 seconds into the game. Easy to pull him if he sucks, instant offense if he is on.

[GSH]

Seems like there is only 15 seconds on the shot clock before SA gets settled into offense.


Yep. You should send a note to Pop.

[spurtech09]

LMA takeover...

[SAGirl]

Pau what a great pass. that is the edge he has over Aldridge. Aldridge would never have been able to even conceive of that pass.

[noles1983]

T that #2 up, fucking been whining all game

[spurtech09]

LOL Harden is horrible

[DPG21920]

Props to LMA :tu

[sasaint]

For real though, Bertans is a guy you throw out there and you will know if he is hot like 30 seconds into the game. Easy to pull him if he sucks, instant offense if he is on.

These playoffs are not for Davis. :pop:

[Capt Bringdown]

Sweet pass from Pau

[twincam]

Offensive rebounds just don't stop

[noles1983]

rockets so fucking lucky getting all those long rebounds

[808]

Beautiful big play!

[GSH]

Damn, so many 50-50's have been just out of SA's reach.

[Ron Swanson]

Finish these fucks!

[spurtech09]

Told ya LMA Takeover...

[ElNono]

now don't choke :lol

[hater]

Lamarcus has arrived

lMAlpha :wow

[Capster]

Spanking Houston!!!!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Aldridge FINALLY not playing like a pussy!!!

[r0drig0lac]

Lamarcus rockets father

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi being tired is worrisome, but hopefully he gets some juice down the stretch. Also, hopefully LMA can carry the load offensively a bit

Appears he can

[Darius Bieber]

See what happens when LMA is doing his shit?

[FkLA]

LMA lives!

[808]

Bout time they're taking advantage of mismatches!

[cjw]

Pau and LMA leaving it all on the floor - minus that one Pau fadeaway but he gets a pass with the rest of his play.

[spurtech09]

LMA takeover...

[313]

it's about fucking time

[hater]

BFGPau and LMAplha :wow

[KenziE]

Wahahahaha FUCK TP !!!! LA is unleashed !!!!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

:lma:lma:lma:lma:lma

[Chomag]

there you go Aldridge!!! finally playing like the player we needed him to be

[bklynspursfan]

These playoffs are not for Davis. :pop:

I mean in fairness, we're up 11 with 5 mins left.

[OrEmuN]

LMA looking good

[Nathan89]

now don't choke :lol

In typical Spurs fashion they'll do something that makes you pull your hair out.

[SAGirl]

Lamarcus, great to see at last... Why he doesn't want to play as a center is ridiculous.
All the lineups with Lee were terrible. Out there with Gasol: feasting.

[noles1983]

Get it boys!!!!!!! Hold off their run thats coming and get home court back ya fuckers!!!!!

[DPG21920]

Zig when they Zag - Spurs going big paying dividends!

[unleashbaynes]

Bounce back game from LMA, me rikey

[NASpurs]

LMA always plays well in Houston, look it up :lol

[PopTheGOAT]

Aldridge, we always loved you :lol

[Mal]

That is playoff basketball. Grind out, execute,

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Up 11... DON'T LET UP!!! :ihit :ihit :ihit

[Pocho La Pantera]

Tony who?

[Chews]

I like this lineup :hat

[spurtech09]

Refs bailing out Harden lol....

[noles1983]

Lamarcus, great to see at last... Why he doesn't want to play as a center is ridiculous.
All the lineups with Lee were terrible. Out there with Gasol: feasting.

This team would be noticeably better if he wouldn't be a bitch about moving to C

[Capt Bringdown]

Hey Pop - Passing and ball movement WORKS

[cjw]

All ball. Wtf refs

[TheGreatYacht]

Fatty Mills in for Simmons, WHY WTF

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Late fucking whistle... Horse manure :bang :bang

[rastaspur]

Aldridge is earning that paycheck tonight.

[808]

Wat in the fuck!?

[ElNono]

all ball,m fuck

[sasaint]

Damn, so many 50-50's have been just out of SA's reach.

Long rebounds have eyes for Rockettes. Smh!

[Ron Swanson]

Bullshit call

[FkLA]

Fucking FT queen :lol

[GSH]

The Spurs have done it with defense. I just hope the zebras don't start making up for lost time with those whistles.

[skin27]

c'mon LMA!!!

[bklynspursfan]

BS

[unleashbaynes]

Pau with a great block there, bad call.

[Chomag]

clean block

[spursistan]

That was a clean block :lmao..

[SAGirl]

That was a bad call on Pau tbh

[Perry Mason]

Kawhi being tired is worrisome, but hopefully he gets some juice down the stretch. Also, hopefully LMA can carry the load offensively a bit

This is to be expected due to the adjustment. But I do think this will improve as games go on, as Pop gets others to play. And then the other guys playing heavier minutes need to step up.

LMA has done that, JS to an extent too.

[noles1983]

fucking horrible call

[spurtech09]

There ya go KL

[Chews]

I like this lineup :hat

Nvm Pop wanted to take out Simmons for Mills :bang

[NASpurs]

:lmao holy fucking shit

[GSH]

Man's rebound by Danny there. Big stop.

[Ice009]

Fatty Mills in for Simmons, WHY WTF

WHAT THE FUCK. WHY IS MILLS BACK ?????????????????

[sasaint]

Late fucking whistle... Horse manure :bang :bang

Total BS. Plus one more foul toward penalty.

[bklynspursfan]

Zig when they Zag - Spurs going big paying dividends!

But the Spurstalk people said it couldnt work against Houston

[Capster]

Freaking awesome!

[rastaspur]

Clean block

[SAGirl]

:claw

[skin27]

that's a clean block!!!

[Ron Swanson]

Holy fuck, these refs

[313]

CLOSER

[Robz4000]

:lmao fuck these refs

[bklynspursfan]

So Mills didnt get fouled, but Anderson did. Sure

[spurtech09]

wow mills gets fouled but Anderson with a foul lol....Refs

[timtonymanu]

Lolkets getting all these bail out calls

[99 Problems]

NBA refs wot the?

[SAGirl]

Here come the fouls...

[noles1983]

bahahahahah patty

[Ice009]

WHY IS MILLS OUT THERE?????????????????????????????????????

[marinoman]

Refs keeping them alive all quarter

[sasaint]

The Spurs have done it with defense. I just hope the zebras don't start making up for lost time with those whistles.

Brace yourself.

[noles1983]

lots of questionable calls tonight

[Capt Bringdown]

Hey Pop - Passing and ball movement WORKS

Except when you pass the ball to Patty :(

[bklynspursfan]

L D N

[808]

LDN!

[Ron Swanson]

LDN!

[spurtech09]

Yeah Green.....

[BanditHiro]

they need to stop with hands up defense...they can't defend for shit like that

[GSH]

DANNYYYY!!!!!

[sasaint]

Dannyyyyyyy!

[SAGirl]

Lamarcus didn't get position deep enough into the paint. wtf now?

[SpurPadre]

LDN!!!

[ace3g]

Green 3!!! Nice find by Kawhi out of the double

[808]

Run the clock

[noles1983]

cant stop the bearded dad bod

[GSH]

they need to stop with hands up defense...they can't defend for shit like that


?????

They're winning this game because of that defense.

[SAGirl]

LDN saving this:toast

[spurtech09]

Refs bailing out the Rocks

[Spurs9]

Is there anything more annoying in basketball than hardens foul calls tbh?

[sasaint]

Just keep trading baskets, Spurs!

[Darius Bieber]

Dang that crowd is silent tbh

[Chomag]

patty gets mauled no call. spurs breathe on a rockets player foul...

[BanditHiro]

?????

They're winning this game because of that defense.

Harden has like 35 points. They clearly aren't playing defense like that against everyone else

[spursistan]

Still not over, tbh..

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Need to force the offense thru Kawhi now...

[TheGreatYacht]

Why is Kawhi inbounding? :lmao

Have a slow ass stiff inbound. They weren't even trying to get open
