Game Thread: Spurs vs. Suns -- Sun. (11/5) - 6:00/C (2:00am Riga Time)

[BatManu20]

Back at it tonight against a 4-5 Suns team who might be without their second leading scorer, TJ Warren. No excuses to lose this game. Let's get it.

Spurs won't pick him up, character issue

Spurs should win this ... play like third quarter against the Hornets then it will be a fun game to watch

Huh?

Yeah. That one scared me too.

Spurs by 12

Plus Sarver would never deal with the Spurs unless it was obviously lopsided in the Suns favor.

[TXstbobcat]

Will be at the AT&T center for the game tonight. Since I moved back home to SA this past Summer the only home game I wasn’t able to go to was the warriors game.

Used to pass through there every day on my way to Victoria. Hits close to home and puts some things in perspective.

927264913441116160 It can happen anywhere and now seems commonplace. What a devastating blow to this small community.

Used to pass through there every day on my way to Victoria. Hits close to home and puts some things in perspective. Indeed it does, they are our neighbors. I guess my son and I are going to get in my car, go watch the game, and be thankful for every day we have on the planet. Right now I feel like I've been punched in the gut...again. May all these people rest in peace. May their families remember them with love and honor them with goodness.

Manu out tonight (rest).

Let's win this.

Does anyone go to Spurs games any more?

Bail out there for us.

Does anyone go to Spurs games any more?

Its the fucking suns. :lol

This thread is dead'er. :lol

[Robz4000]

Booker gonna go for 50 tonight I guess.

[BatManu20]

Forbes!

[Robz4000]

Gay is getting mauled out there with no calls.

[dabom]

Slow down Gay. We need that for the playoffs.

[BillMc]

I love chaps

[BillMc]

Slow down Gay. We need that for the playoffs.

[Chomag]

50 mills still stinking up the court. Game is still young though hopefully he can step up

[sasaint]

BP3 having immediate impact - especially with the D.

[dabom]

BP3 is nasty!

[SAGirl]

Gasol careless passing

[SAGirl]

nice play... nice 3 gasol

[Chris]

Gasol for 3? Solamente mosquitero

[BillMc]

Rudy, Paul and Joff and handled the LMA situation. And so many here think it was a bad offseason.

[dabom]

Whataburger for a year. :lol

[Chinook]

That's not the rule, Sean. Shut the fuck up about it.

[SAGirl]

I don't like GAsol passing up shots tbh

[Robz4000]

Murray is so shitty sometimes, damn.

[Robz4000]

I don't like GAsol passing up shots tbh

I don't like him shooting unless it's a three tbh. Never seems to work out well.

[SAGirl]

Wow.... Hilliard getting in the game straight from the Gleague b4 Davis.

[davi78239]

Who the hell is 24??

[sasaint]

Murray forcing with Hilliard open from 3.

[BatManu20]

Wake up Forbes. Don't foul jumpshooters and make your bunnies.

[SAGirl]

Lamarcus was snoozing on defense there.

[Robz4000]

Spurs can't defend against this Suns team tbh, just too many skilled guards.

[BatManu20]

Who the hell is 24??

Hilliard. Guy we picked up from Detroit.

[SAGirl]

Who the hell is 24??
2way contract. Hilliard

[sasaint]

Rudy, Paul and Joff and handled the LMA situation. And so many here think it was a bad offseason.

It is early, Bill, but you are pointing out the glass that is half full. The glass that is half empty is Gasol and 50Mills...

[SAGirl]

Murray getting schooled by Ulis...

[BatManu20]

Hilliard was basically nonexistent in those minutes he just played. Tough spot for him though.

[TheGreatYacht]

Fathead getting torched by Daniels

The head rightfully benched for Gay

[Robz4000]

Either a made bucket or freebies every time down for the Suns. Spurs are taking awful shots on the other end and predictably missing.

[SAGirl]

Its one of thos games ... if Suns are going to be blazing from 3... some are well contested.

[BatManu20]

I've gone on record here numerous times saying I understood those contracts and didn't have issues with them. And I explained why. Not gonna rehash it here.

[Spurtacular]

Just tuning in; we gonna lose to the lowly Suns at home?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Maaaaan suns are hitting everything out there oof

[RD2191]

Mills is pathetic.

[Robz4000]

It really feels like this team struggles to do everything basketball-related. Just painful to watch.

[sasaint]

I've gone on record here numerous times saying I understood those contracts and didn't have issues with them. And I explained why. Not gonna rehash it here.

No need. I respect that. Just as offseasons go, I give this one an Inc. at this juncture.

[Spurtacular]

Patty looking back at a non-shot blocker screened off instead of just nailing the damn three without hesitation.

[sasaint]

Just tuning in; we gonna lose to the lowly Suns at home?

No. Suns just shooting lights out while we are missing a lot of good looks.

[Robz4000]

Maaaaan suns are hitting everything out there oof

They've done so in their last two games against the Spurs too. Just a bad match up for this iteration of the Spurs since they can't stop guards to save their lives and Phoenix is nothing but guards.

[Chinook]

It really feels like this team struggles to do everything basketball-related. Just painful to watch.

That's what happens when Danny Green is the best penetrator you have in the game.

[BatManu20]

They cant miss, we cant hit. Not a great combo. Spurs go into the half down 4.

[ElNono]

this team blows without team leader Manu, tbh

[sasaint]

Bryn played great D on that last possession and still got burned. Suns gonna cool off in the second half, and we are gonna shoot better. We will win going away.

[Chomag]

This team hardly looks any better then the suns right now

[sasaint]

Sure felt like we shot much worse than 45%.

[BillMc]

No need. I respect that. Just as offseasons go, I give this one an Inc. at this juncture.

Fair enough. :flag:

[Spurtacular]

This team and Marshall High School Dance are a good fit.

[SAGirl]

Murray didn't play well at all. Ulis schooled him.

[BillMc]

We need more Gay. I want this team more Gay than Liberace in a Turkish bath.

[Spurtacular]

This team and Marshall High School Dance are a good fit.

Clark High School Dance putting Marshall High School Dance to shame, tbh.

Murray is playing himself into my trade machine..sigh..If the Spurs can unload Mills with him for Bledose I might do it if this team guard play continues to suck balls with Parker back..Can't put everything on Kawhi with his quad issues..

Murray sinking jumper after jumper in pregame... Mechanics look good... I have faith he will be a good shooter

[SAGirl]

:lma

[BatManu20]

Aldridge make your damn FT's

[DJR210]

The front office should just sign Danny Green to 1 year deals from here on out so he can always be in a contract year tbh

[Spurtacular]

Suns taking the three instead of just throwing the easy lob-in pass to Chandler over Mills for the easy two. Teams need to stop trying to imitate the Warriors.

[SAGirl]

Gasol not grabbing boards or protecting the rim...

[RD2191]

Warren kid looks good.

[TimDunkem]

Even Sean is frustrated with Kyle's passiveness. :lol

[boutons_deux]

Pau can't shoot for shit

[Spurtacular]

Suns not even bothering to pick up Anderson. He proves them right. :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Even Sean is frustrated with Kyle's passiveness. :lol
But he's just as good as Warren :lmao

[BatManu20]

They're literally leaving kyle wide open, daring him to shoot, and he won't do it smh

[sasaint]

Not a flop.

[duncan2k5]

Passive Kyle... And Gasol is such a trash rebounder and overall soft player

[bklynspursfan]

Patty seems much better starting huh? Lol

[sasaint]

50Mills!

[TheGreatYacht]

Gasol and 37yr old Chandler running down the court faster than the head :lol

[BatManu20]

Patty playing well though. A site for sore eyes :downspin:

[RD2191]

MVPatty sighting :wow

[Robz4000]

Suns get every call

[bklynspursfan]

They're literally leaving kyle wide open, daring him to shoot, and he won't do it smh

He does lots of things well, but that will forever limit him unfortunately. And he's played really well to start the season, that part of his game just limits him.

[SAGirl]

50 mills getting his shooting back. :tu

[spursistan]

I am not sure what's the the Spurs plan with Danny in the off-season with Parker and then kawhi extensions coming in..Gay will probably opt out and be let walk but something gotta give with Gasol/Mills, no?

[TimDunkem]

But he's just as good as Warren :lmao
:lmao That awful take will never get old. Remember, he said he was better too.

[RD2191]

MVPatty sighting :wow

[Ron Swanson]

Who is this guy in the Mills jersey?

[TheGreatYacht]

MVPatty sighting :wow
November Fatty

[SAGirl]

Not a flop.
agree.

[sasaint]

Patty seems much better starting huh? Lol

That seems to be the correlation. Wow!

[duncan2k5]

Danny can barely make a normal layup but wants to switch hands... Lmfao!

[BatManu20]

Patty playing well though. A site for sore eyes :downspin:

[spurs10]

Alright the game has begun!

I am not sure what's the the Spurs plan with Danny in the off-season with Parker and then kawhi extensions coming in..Gay will probably opt out and be let walk but something gotta give with Gasol/Mills, no?
I have worried about that. We shall see. their contracts are not tradeable if they get benched, so they have to play and gain their respective swag back. Not saying that is Pop's intention, but whatever they will do next offseason, those guys have to play to up their value and interest.

[TimDunkem]

Most of the fans still aren't in their seats. Those chorizo burgers must be half off tonight or something.

[SAGirl]

What are these "lots of things" ?

[DJR210]

So glad that duncan2k5 was here to call the fact that Gasol is a soft player..

[DJR210]

Most of the fans still aren't in their seats. Those chorizo burgers must be half off tonight or something.

:lol nah, it's dead af.. went to the Charlotte game I've never seen the AT&T parking lot that empty.. Was great walking up to the bar and getting a beer instantly though :tu

[duncan2k5]

Too bad Patty can't do this vs the teams that count

[bklynspursfan]

What are these "lots of things" ?

Rebounds, defends (as long as he stays in front of his guy, he's pretty darn effective), passes well. Also does a good job cutting to the basket

[BatManu20]

I am not sure what's the the Spurs plan with Danny in the off-season with Parker and then kawhi extensions coming in..Gay will probably opt out and be let walk but something gotta give with Gasol/Mills, no?

We'll have to trade Patty & Pau to make room for Lebron, tbh. :stirpot:

[sasaint]

Nice pass, Bryn!

[TimDunkem]

:lol nah, it's dead af.. went to the Charlotte game I've never seen the AT&T parking lot that empty.. Was great walking up to the bar and getting a beer instantly though :tu
Sad. Can't blame them though since this team isn't exciting at all without Kawhi.

[BatManu20]

Forbes!

[cutewizard]

Go Spppppuuuurssss go

[bklynspursfan]

Paul missed a FT and a 3. Genuinely shocked

[cutewizard]

Forbes

[SAGirl]

Murray extremely passive too. Forbes sweet shooting

[cutewizard]

We sorely miss Kawhi

[cutewizard]

Hmmmm....is our defense improved??

[99 Problems]

MVPatty tbh.....get in here.....

[BatManu20]

We sorely miss Kawhi


https://imgflip.com/s/meme/You-Dont-Say.jpg

[cutewizard]

:bobo

[Spurtacular]

Suns are terrible. Worse than most practice squads probably.

[BillMc]

Patty seems to be shooting a lot better as a starter. Happenstance or coincidence?

[RD2191]

https://imgflip.com/s/meme/You-Dont-Say.jpg

:lmao

[Robz4000]

Suns scored 13 points in the third quarter, 5 of them at the FT line.

[duncan2k5]

Rebounds, defends (as long as he stays in front of his guy, he's pretty darn effective), passes well. Also does a good job cutting to the basket

He isn't a good rebounder in traffic, anyone defends well when they stay in front of their man... Thats the whole point of defense... Problem is he can't stay in front of his man and constantly reaches when he is beat instead of following them... And he isn't a great cutter at all... A good cutter to the basket is known for finishing... Kyle barely makes meaningful cuts, and he almost never finishes at the basket... Only spurs fans think he is good... He would be considered a scrub by anyone else from another team

[RD2191]

Patty seems to be shooting a lot better as a starter. Happenstance or coincidence?

We're playing a bad team TBH

[cutewizard]

Patty likes to start

[Spurtacular]

Gay made no shot attempt; NBA's not even consistent with their bull shit.

[SAGirl]

Dijon finally!!!!

[vander]

let's see some White and Bertans please

[ElNono]

MVPaddy :wow

:worthy:

[cutewizard]

Lamarcus rulessssssssss

[Spurtacular]

Pity foul.

[bklynspursfan]

Wow, thought Paul was gonna throw it down there. That was a bit scary lol

[cutewizard]

Murray showing some life

[KDKSpurs24]

We'll have to trade Patty & Pau to make room for Lebron, tbh. :stirpot:
Thats actually the one move we could make without ANYONE getting mad or disrespected tbh. If LeBron wanted to come, Pau and Patty would understand being traded or whatever and the teammates wouldn’t really be upset they got traded :lol

[SAGirl]

Rudy has had 3 falls in this game...

[SAGirl]

4th fall by Rudy tbh... I think he's going to get rested next game or something at this rate.

[duncan2k5]

Simmons would have absolutely wrecked that rim

[sasaint]

Bryn is a scorer. With his confidence increasing, I think he is growing into a legit NBA player.

[RD2191]

Nice ball movement

[Spurtacular]

Pau shooting a triple = poorly executed play

[SAGirl]

BP33333

[duncan2k5]

Forbes is a horrible driver... He can't even pass a good defender... Lol... Good thing he can shoot

[DJR210]

Sad. Can't blame them though since this team isn't exciting at all without Kawhi.

I think the old school Mexican's here just stop caring after Tim left.. don't care until the 2nd round

[sasaint]

Paul is a keeper. I want to see him play with Kawhi.

[Spurtacular]

BP3 > CP3

[Ron Swanson]

BP3 > CP3

[SAGirl]

Bryn is a scorer. With his confidence increasing, I think he is growing into a legit NBA player.
I agree. Already he looks immensely better and more confident than the player we saw last season.

[BatManu20]

BP3! I love this guy

[bklynspursfan]

Simmons would have absolutely wrecked that rim

And yet both count equally for 2 points...

Fwiw tho, it just looked like he mistimed his jump. There's 0 doubt that dude can throw it down .

[Robz4000]

Bryn is a scorer. With his confidence increasing, I think he is growing into a legit NBA player.

He showed he was a legit NBA player towards the end of last year tbh. If he can keep up this level of scoring he can be a key bench piece on a lot of teams, or even a starter for a team like Philly/OKC/Minny that's starved for shooting.

[NASpurs]

Harden with 52 points and 13 assists ending the 3rd quarter.

ESPN says in 16 minutes. That can't be right at all.

[Budkin]

BP3! I love this guy

He's been impressive lately. Nice surprise.

[duncan2k5]

And yet both count equally for 2 points...

Fwiw tho, it just looked like he mistimed his jump. There's 0 doubt that dude can throw it down .

Anyone who knows basketball understands that a massive dunk is worth more than 2 points

[boutons_deux]

Bryn hustles to stay in front of his man

[SAGirl]

Murray finding some confidence too, nice to see.

[TimDunkem]

Anyone who knows basketball understands that a massive dunk is worth more than 2 points

That can be argued, tbh. It gets the fans going and, subsequently, the team.

[duncan2k5]

Anyone who knows basketball understands that a massive dunk is worth more than 2 points

I'll forever feel like Cojos dunk over Ibaka is what caused us to beat the thunder...

[SAGirl]

Bryn hustles to stay in front of his man
He competes. IMO better than Mills on defense. He's more tenacious and slightly bigger. The bigger SG though he has no chance.

[sasaint]

let's see some White and Bertans please

I'd rather see another Hilliard run.

[ElNono]

It's garbage time... bring in Kyle...

[BatManu20]

Man Phoenix sucks lol

[sasaint]

BP3 is becoming a personal fave!

[bklynspursfan]

He isn't a good rebounder in traffic, anyone defends well when they stay in front of their man... Thats the whole point of defense... Problem is he can't stay in front of his man and constantly reaches when he is beat instead of following them... And he isn't a great cutter at all... A good cutter to the basket is known for finishing... Kyle barely makes meaningful cuts, and he almost never finishes at the basket... Only spurs fans think he is good... He would be considered a scrub by anyone else from another team

He can't elevate, so he struggles obviously, but his positioning to box guys out is usually good.

And defensively, yea that's the point. But his length bothers guys and he's able to deflect passes and what not. He's disruptive. I'm not saying he's a shut down guy, because he's not. But he definitely pays attention to the fundamentals and basics of defense.

He does cut well, and doesn't always finish, but no one finishes every time lol. It's really not only Spurs fans, most know he's got his flaws, but lots recognize the little things he does well out there.

[TimDunkem]

BP3's defense is excellent.

[spursistan]

I have worried about that. We shall see. their contracts are not tradeable if they get benched, so they have to play and gain their respective swag back. Not saying that is Pop's intention, but whatever they will do next offseason, those guys have to play to up their value and interest.
Yeah that's why I am rooting for Mills to snap out of this horrid slump though i've been going to town on him since 12:01..Spurs need him to maintain a modicum of tradeability on the basketball court just in case. I also forgot about Kyle and Bertans fre agency--probably one of them is goner assuming we don't any salary dumps with Patty/Pau and Parker gets another albatross deal (=or >10 millions)...

[RD2191]

It's garbage time... bring in Kyle...

Is Manu inactive tonight?

[TimDunkem]

Damn. What a pass...

[SAGirl]

Well that's a wrap.
Rudy was a warrior in this one.
:flag:

[dabom]

It's garbage time... bring in Kyle...

:lmao

[BatManu20]

This game has moved at an incredibly fast rate all night. Less than 2 hours in and there's only 6 min left.

[hater]

Give all Manus minutes to Paul

[BatManu20]

Is Manu inactive tonight?

Sí.

[ElNono]

Is Manu inactive tonight?

yes, rest (old)

[bklynspursfan]

Anyone who knows basketball understands that a massive dunk is worth more than 2 points

I understand basketball just fine. And I agree depending on the situation. Are we losing or in a tightly contested game looking for a spark?

So the Simms comment was sort of irrelevant. Game 5 against Miami, Manu dunking vs laying it in? Absolutely. All about circumstances.

[sasaint]

He showed he was a legit NBA player towards the end of last year tbh. If he can keep up this level of scoring he can be a key bench piece on a lot of teams, or even a starter for a team like Philly/OKC/Minny that's starved for shooting.

I think he showed some flashes last season, but was deferring so much more than he is this season.

[ElNono]

No wonder Lonzo looked great against these Suns scrubs

[SpurPadre]

Who the fuck is Hilliard?

[sasaint]

Give all Manus minutes to Paul

Seconded.

[NASpurs]

Rockets had a 48 point 3rd quarter, on top of a 39 point 1st quarter, wtf.

[bklynspursfan]

In other news , James Haren has 56 points on 19/24 shooting.

[Ron Swanson]

Who the fuck is Hilliard?

One of the guys on a two way contract.

[BatManu20]

Clippers lost tonight at home to Miami. We host them on Tuesday.

[BatManu20]

Bertans sighting.

[sasaint]

Man, we are having trouble holding on to the ball.

[SpurPadre]

One of the guys on a two way contract.

Is he athletic?

[sasaint]

Foul on Davis?!?!?!

[sasaint]

Is he athletic?

You should ask SAGirl. She scouts Austin some.

[spursistan]

Eventually , I think BP3 '3&D' combo >> The Simmons Package..

[bklynspursfan]

Murray is really not doing a good job controlling things out there. Just seems so unsure of what he wants to do

[sasaint]

BP3 digs out a loose ball.

[sasaint]

Eventually , I think BP3 '3&D' combo >> The Simmons Package..

Not very "eventually." I think his D is more fundamentally sound. I really like this guy.

[Spurtacular]

...Clips, Bucks, Bulls....

Spurs could go 5-0 on this home stand.

[duncan2k5]

Murray is really not doing a good job controlling things out there. Just seems so unsure of what he wants to do

Looks good to me

[spursistan]

Not very "eventually." I think his D is more fundamentally sound. I really like this guy.
Yep..And he will look even better playing next to Kawhi..

[raybies]

gg spurs

[duncan2k5]

Murray missing chippies

[DJR210]

Damn, Len looking like Wanderlei Silva with them elbows

[BatManu20]

PHX is really terrible, but a win is a win is a win.

Now let's get ready for a real challenge with the Clippers on Tuesday night.

:flag:

[Robz4000]

...Clips, Bucks, Bulls....

Spurs could go 5-0 on this home stand.

Can't see the Spurs beating the Bucks without Kawhi, and they never seem to beat the Clippers anymore.

[sasaint]

Murray is really not doing a good job controlling things out there. Just seems so unsure of what he wants to do

With the emergence of Forbes and (especially) BP3, he needs to get his act together. He MUST develop a jumper from somewhere rather than relying totally on all his junk shots.

[Spurtacular]

Can't see the Spurs beating the Bucks without Kawhi, and they never seem to beat the Clippers anymore.

I prefer to be optimistic for as long as we are undefeated on this home stand; but if I make it out to Vegas, I'll keep your concerns in the back of my mind.

[BillMc]

I prefer to be optimistic for as long as we are undefeated on this home stand; but if I make it out to Vegas, I'll keep your concerns in the back of my mind.

Spurs lost the first game of the home stand tbh, or did your mind blank out the traumatic experience of last Thursday night?

Yep..And he will look even better playing next to Kawhi..

Yep, I really want to see him on the floor with Kawhi. They could be very symbiotic.

[sasaint]

Can't see the Spurs beating the Bucks without Kawhi, and they never seem to beat the Clippers anymore.

True. However, this is a totally different Clips team.

I wonder if Rudy Gay goes with "Joto" on the back of his jersey for Latin Night..

True. However, this is a totally different Clips team.

They're better tbh. CP0 was/is too ball dominant and they got much better depth.

Clippers have actually been better statistically so far without CP3 this year tbh. That said, he was a notorious Spurs-killer so maybe they won't be as tough. We'll see.

Hopefully DeAndre Jordan won't go off on us as usual without Paul there throwing him lobs either.

A fun victory, too. It was a lot of fun watching Bryn and BP3. Gotta help their confidence, and ultimately the Spurs. They looked like legit "young guns" tonight.

I agree. Forbes has gone from a bubble player to a real asset. And BP3 has me excited for his potential.

Yeah, I didn't say the Clips were worse, just different - very different. How that impacts our contests will be interesting to see. CP3 and Crawford have always been the guys who killed us.
