Back home tonight as we host a 7-7 OKC team that have won 3 in a row. Game will be televised on ESPN :td. Won't be easy, but we can do it. No excuses. Let's get it.

Put Green on PG and let Melo shoot them out of the game.

[rjv]

not too confident on this one. OKC starting to get more of a groove and if they can keep the ball from being sucked into the black hole that is carmelo, they will likely come out of here with a "W". the key tonight will be our bench significantly outplaying their bench.

[Dex]

well, shit ... how many games did he miss?

[DAF86]

Hope I'm wrong but should be another L.

[TimDunkem]

Westbrook is going to feast on our PGs. Adams will get tons of boards too. Throw in PG and Melo as well? I don't like our chances. Hoping for a win though...

[Robz4000]

Thunder were a bad matchup for the Spurs last year and it's only gonna be worse with their increase in talent and no Kawhi for the Spurs. Thunder by double digits.

Kyle has his fans around the league in places that matter.
If Pop wants him, he will have to recruit him back IMO. He can't take the stance he took with JSimms: yea go out there meet with other teams, get cozy, get sold with other roles/minutes, then get back and we will match you. Sometimes you send RFA on that quest and they don't come back.

[SpurPadre]

931571231089942529

If he likes him that much, he can have him for the right price, tbh. TP and Anderson for PG-13 and call it a deal lol.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Excuses will come flying out when the Spurs lose tonight.

Spurs need to play four quarters tonight

[Chomag]

Our Big's are way to soft for Adams

[Chomag]

It kind of seems Anderson's trade value might be pretty high with certain teams. It's worth considering I would think.

[NameLess Scrub]

Carmelo will score 45 tonight by chucking and making mid-range jumpers.

Thunder by 12. Pop quits down 7 with 6:32 left.

[rjv]

Pop quits down 7 with 6:32 left. :lol

[raybies]

I have no idea what to expect out of OKC cause they are so unpredictable, and that's the scary part, . They will need some luck or an A or above game to beat us imo. We match up well with them to start and they have no bench. THere will be lots of opportunities to build leads. I think you put Green on Westbrook, Kyle on Pg and let Melo chuck them into oblivion. I'm gonna go with Spurs by 11. We got home court and I believe our shooters will be on tonight.

[RD2191]

Thunder by 25 imo tbh

Probably not until Kawhi comes back. Won't be happening tonight unless we make most of our shots and they miss most of theirs.

That's the benefit of riding on the coattails of a certain GOAT PF.

[wildbill2u]

On paper they should beat us easily. Every player on the first team is better than ours. We will need a helluva defensive game from everybody

[Trainwreck2100]

Doris Burke :bang

[r0drig0lac]

wtf

[Robz4000]

:lol God, this is setting up to be a slaughter

[Ron Swanson]

We're going to need King Joffrey to bang down low with Adams. Gasol can't do it.

[bklynspursfan]

Anderson struggling to stay in front of these guys. Gotta give more resistance, especially not having the quickest big guys in the middle to help recover

[r0drig0lac]

it seems that Popovich authorized the 3pt shooting tonight

[raybies]

Thunder's defense is lengthy and stout :wow Gonna have to outwork them and tire them out.

[bklynspursfan]

Probably not until Kawhi comes back. Won't be happening tonight unless we make most of our shots and they miss most of theirs.

Anything's possible. Biggest thing is not to turn the ball over a ton

[r0drig0lac]

Anderson struggling to stay in front of these guys. Gotta give more resistance, especially not having the quickest big guys in the middle to help recover

or just switch on all the screens and live with the 1x1

[bklynspursfan]

it seems that Popovich authorized the 3pt shooting tonight

It's been authorized lol

[raybies]

Also have to make the most of our bench time

[boutons_deux]

36% VS 54%

[bklynspursfan]

Def need LMA to show up. Getting Adams in foul trouble would be huge

[bklynspursfan]

or just switch on all the screens and live with the 1x1

Yea definitely. With Gay in now they'll probably do that more

[raybies]

thatta boy LMA... keep working

[r0drig0lac]

manu....

[bklynspursfan]

Murray had an open corner 3, should've taken it

[SAGirl]

Too many guys passing up shots tbh.. if they aren't aggressive it wont be good.

[UZER]

That damn bounce pass doesn't work anyone manu.

[hater]

Manure is fucking trash

Jesus christ what a washed up turd

[Leetonidas]

Does Manu ever successfully make bounce passes anymore

[raybies]

might be one of those night for manu smh

[duncan2k5]

Turnobili strikes....always comes out vs athletic teams

[timtonymanu]

This Spurs team is so boring to watch, tbh. Especially with Kawhi out. Just ugly inefficient offense.

[FkLA]

Uh that was offensive interference by Adams. Same thing Marcus Smart got called for yesterday. Guess only the Warriorefs get that call.

[cd98]

Time to start scouting the college ranks for our lottery pick next year.

[TheGreatYacht]

What an embarrassing roster. Fathead has a rebound in 8 minutes. Zeros across the board

[r0drig0lac]

the worst of the off season signatures is that the roster is not even set up for Kawhi's features, with him being a great team EXCLUSIVELY because he is a damn 2-way superstar, without him is probably an 8-15 team in the league, it's just weird, because the team does not seem to have any identity at the moment

[SAGirl]

yea that contested 3 Rudy Gay will take, but not the one created by ball movement earlier when Kyle was playing smh Rudy

[TheGreatYacht]

We're a Ginose ACL tear away from contending

[Robz4000]

Time to just play the young guns the rest of the way.

[boutons_deux]

33% LOL CAN'T FUCKING shoot

[TheGreatYacht]

yea that contested 3 Rudy Gay will take, but not the one created by ball movement earlier when Kyle was playing smh Rudy
Player fan lmao

[Robz4000]

Welp, can't do that now. Murray already with three fouls.

[hater]

Manure :lmao :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

Man if it's really just a pain tolerance thing for Kawhi, dude needs to start getting shots before games and play it thru.

[TheGreatYacht]

We're a Ginose ACL tear away from contending
OMFG :lmao

Dijon is getting rooked.

[FkLA]

Westbrook has to have the faggiest free throw routine, tbh.

Yeah I don’t need to waste my time with this game

[007nites]

It's over we lost

[TheGreatYacht]

Forbes continues to step under shooters. Terrible balance by the idiot.

[UZER]

Teams getting younger and more athletic every year. Spurs keep relying on old guys.

[SAGirl]

Let's just bench Manu Pop.
If it was Kyle or DJ doing that shit you would have no tolerance.

[hater]

Manure singlehandely cost the spurs about 10 points in the last 4 mins

[Ron Swanson]

Looks like I'll be starting The Punisher on Netflix earlier than I had planned.

Fuck Zaza man.

It sucks when your entire foundation is such a fragile player physically.

every single manu pass this game led to a turnover...time for the bench manu

If it makes anyone feel better you can still be one of the posters who pretends that Brandon Paul is the equal of Jonathan Simmons in athleticism or playmaking.

but PATFO...

Reading comprehension isn't one of your strong suits bruh.

[SAGirl]

If it makes anyone feel better you can still be one of the posters who pretends that Brandon Paul is the equal of Jonathan Simmons in athleticism or playmaking.
nah. I like Brandon Paul, but never claimed that myself.
He didn't even replace JSimms. Simms wanted what is currently Manu, Rudy or Mills role, Pop wasn't going to comply. He's happy and I am happy for him. I didn't like this decision from PATFO even b4 the season started.

I am just tired of the whining about it personally.

[DAF86]

Fuck this abortion, tbh.

[cd98]

So when is Pop gonna stop playing these games and allow Kawhi to play again?

[boutons_deux]

Spurs are tough at home

[r0drig0lac]

If it makes anyone feel better you can still be one of the posters who pretends that Brandon Paul is the equal of Jonathan Simmons in athleticism or playmaking.

[UZER]

That faggot PATFO sucker bklynspursfan wants Kawhi to play hurt so this weak ass roster he fluffed up stops getting exposed :lmao

The spurs offense is not built to fit guys strengths. Pop offense forces square pegs into round holes.

[bklynspursfan]

It sucks when your entire foundation is such a fragile player physically.

Idk if that's the case or not honestly. Playing at this level I can't imagine many guys playing pain free. If it's something that can worsen, absolutely keep him out. If it's a tolerance thing, idk. That may not go away considering his history

[NASpurs]

Give Kawhi the next 5 MVPs if he's actually the difference between making this sad team a contender. Has :cry Ma Touches :cry even done anything?

[spurs10]

Man this is brutal. I'm pretty sure it's the worst performance I've witnessed in some time. Will be tough to sell my tickets for Monday's game.

[FkLA]

Chill brahs. Spurs will make it a game again.

[raybies]

Gonna have to make a run to start this quarter

[bklynspursfan]

speechless... Man ew...

Good news is they can't play worse.

Tell that to Pop.

[r0drig0lac]

this is the most "badly mounted" roster of SA in recent years, and some have praised its "versatility". If your team depends on a man to go from top 3 to top 15 your roster is bad..just that

If KL is done.
It was over first game if KL does not return.
So, why are we watching.

Cause we like Bball and the Spurs.

[r0drig0lac]

lmao Bertans in? hahahaha Pop is funny

[UZER]

If this team hovers about 55-65% wins until kawhi comes back, and then go on a 25-5 tear, Kawhi better fucking get MVP.

[RD2191]

I have no idea what to expect out of OKC cause they are so unpredictable, and that's the scary part, . They will need some luck or an A or above game to beat us imo. We match up well with them to start and they have no bench. THere will be lots of opportunities to build leads. I think you put Green on Westbrook, Kyle on Pg and let Melo chuck them into oblivion. I'm gonna go with Spurs by 11. We got home court and I believe our shooters will be on tonight.

Yup. People are buying into the hype that this team was close because they made the WCF last season. Difference is last year’s team was still more talented than this current one.

[SilverSpur]

We don't have the horses to run with OKC.
We really need Kawhi, Johnathan Smmmons and
Dewayne Dedmon.
The NBA is speeding up. Teams like Minnesota, Miwalkee and OKC are the future and we are going to be left only to beat the bad teams and be destroyed be elite teams.

players with this mentality are the only ones that PATFO has not made the effort necessary to maintain, it is interesting

You see those idiots that cliffjump at the first 0-4 run? Well, you are the same but the other way around. Neither is a good thing son. Learn how to be less of a homer if you want people to take you seriously.

[cjw]

Green +/- is zero
Manu and Gay both close to -20

It's clear who the team's second best player is with Kawhi out behind Aldridge.

[bbarry]

I kinda like when Spurs lose a lot because it gives them a chance to take a step back and re-evaluate the team, and find out what they need to do and need not to do to better themselves. Instead of beating a bunch of bad teams and instilling a false sense of actually being good and then getting trounced by the first good team they meet in the playoffs. Ever since Spurs won 20 in a row (reg sea + po) only to get backdoor swept by the Thunder, i've felt this way.

[NASpurs]

He's been having bad games the last few. His last good game was against the Bulls go figure.

I still have a little bit of hope for Rudy. He's coming off a major injury and he's probably hitting some kind of wall when it comes to his conditioning right now. But we'll see as the season progresses.

I would not be surprised if we "come back" to within 6-10 pts, only for Thunder to go on a run again and put us away. Actually happens a lot this way.

[DAF86]

I aspire to be a fan. Maybe you should learn what a real fan is like dude. I get crushed in losses and joyous in wins, but it's worth it

"Learn what a real fan is" :lol

Dude, being a fan doesn't equal being a delusional homer that justifies everything. In fact, being a good fan involves being critical with the team when needed.

[r0drig0lac]

Kyle is the best spur out there...

[wildbill2u]

Pop is going to get thrown out of a lot of games this year with this team. :bang

If he sucks, he sucks, but better than watching manu and Mills run the point.

Kyle growing before our eyes. Donovan watching :lol

[TimDunkem]

Yup. People are buying into the hype that this team was close because they made the WCF last season. Difference is last year’s team was still more talented than this current one.

Me, TD21, TGY, RD and others have been saying this for months, but the PATFO slurpers just keep sucking and calling us "spoiled fans" as if being honest about the makeup of the team makes you an ungrateful whiner. You'd have to be delusional to think this poorly constructed team would do well without Kawhi. And even when -maybe even "if" at this point - Kawhi comes back, the makeup of the roster and antiquated system won't be enough to get the team to the finals.

It is what it is. I love the Spurs, I want them to win, I hold out hope they'll win every game they play, but the writing is on the wall. It doesn't make you a whiner or bad fan to admit it.

[SAGirl]

wow Kyle my man
:flag:

[r0drig0lac]

spurs with some home calls tonight, interesting

[hater]

Spurs suck

But melo chimpbrook and george are a terrible match

[bklynspursfan]

wow Kyle my man

Another guy going off that Kawhi typically shuts down

[NASpurs]

After that horrible stint, I'm guessing Manu is done for the night. Enjoy your rest. :lol

[bklynspursfan]

You guys can whine and complain and blame PATFO for all the world's problems, but gotta respect this team continuing to fight in this game.

[RD2191]

Nice 2nd. Not bad at all. Let's see if we can keep it close in the 3rd. Need to get melo to miss some shots

[r0drig0lac]

down 7....REALLY not bad

[TimDunkem]

Also said that the Thunder would be a bad match up and everyone laughed claiming that Melo alone is enough to sink them in a match up against us.

For fucks sake, people. Even a one man Russ-led OKC was a bad match up even WITH Kawhi. This was obviously what was going to happen. :lol

[SAGirl]

Kyle is the best spur out there...
He's competing for sure.
24 years old. I hope Spurs keep him and don't send him packing.

[Robz4000]

God I'm sick of watching Patty Mills "facilitate". At this point all his minutes should be going to Forbes.

[hater]

Manure needs to retire after this half if he has any sense in him

[TheGreatYacht]

Damn it Fatty. Clock awareness. Deounte would've floated that from the 3pt line

[raybies]

hell yeah love that run baby!!!

[TimDunkem]

You guys can whine and complain and blame PATFO for all the world's problems, but gotta respect this team continuing to fight in this game.

Oh please. What are they supposed to do? Stop playing?

Russ keeping us in it with his 4-14 shooting so far

[bklynspursfan]

After that horrible stint, I'm guessing Manu is done for the night. Enjoy your rest. :lol

This is a game where he's best as a spot up shooter. He is still capable of making other momentum changing plays, but he shouldn't handle the ball much.

Murray being virtually non-existent doesn't help. Hurry back TP

[bklynspursfan]

According to some of the SpursTalk experts, that's exactly right tbh

Props to pop for putting that dying dog to rest behind the shed

[r0drig0lac]

Also said that the Thunder would be a bad match up and everyone laughed claiming that Melo alone is enough to sink them in a match up against us.

For fucks sake, people. Even a one man Ross-led OKC was a bad match up even WITH Kawhi. This was obviously what was going to happen. :lol


talent usually outgrows good training, especially in the nba, they would be favorites in a series against spurs even with Kawhi

[FkLA]

Chill brahs. Spurs will make it a game again.

[SAGirl]

LDN is the only one who showed up tonight tbh.
and Kyle tbh

[raybies]

"Learn what a real fan is" :lol

Dude, being a fan doesn't equal being a delusional homer that justifies everything. In fact, being a good fan involves being critical with the team when needed.
Ok what affect does a fan have being critical? Seriously if you can answer that I'd love to hear it. When your in a Stadium for example, the best fans are loud and encouraging. Unless your some shit fan from New York who boos your team. And I'm not a homer, if I'm defending the team I love what kind of fan does that make you tbh. Real Talk.

[007nites]

These games were Manu plays like Manure he usually ends up making some game saving play at the end.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Man this team is painful to watch.

[duncan2k5]

it's really sad to see Pop has murray so shook to be benched that he is afraid to make decisive moves on offense...he just goes through the motions, really...plays it safe

[TheGreatYacht]

You know Ginose is shooting 20.0% from three this year, right? :lol of course you don't.

[raybies]

DAM SON THAT RUN FEELS GOOD> Let's continue it into the third.

[BillMc]

Westbrook's stupidity only surpassed by his talent.

[r0drig0lac]

Does anyone know the pace of this game so far? Spurs seem to be playing at a much higher pace than normal

[TimDunkem]

No. You are definitely a homer.

What? :lol

Because you put in time, money and your heart into a team? If you don't like the product that's being put out there, then yeah, you have the RIGHT to be critical.

[raybies]

No. You are definitely a homer.
If I'm a homer what are you? real question. Definitely not a fan.

Besides being a Spurs fan, I'm a River Plate fan. When River Plate fans feel like the managers aren't doing enough to put a competitive team on the pitch, they make themselves hear by organazing rallies and things like that. Many times those rallies have resulted in market signings that ended up resulting in championships.

[BillMc]

I swear some on here seem to take joy in their team losing so they can use it to bolster their arguments against given players or PATFO. So weird. How about rooting for year team?

[raybies]

What? :lol

But what does that do for the team? Your just talking shit on a forum. It's pointless. Being talked down to because I'm defending my team against so called fellow fans gtfo It's this hoe mentality that runs rampant round here. Oh tis playr has da biggest dic I want him, or this dude is better than this. What about being thankful for what you got. Like I said hoe mentality.

[NASpurs]

People root in their own way. Not everyone is a cheerleader.

We are on like the greatest run of success of all sports. get out of here with that. Spoiled ass fans around here

[DAF86]

True to an extent, but at some point Murray has to say: "fuck it", get mad and stop playing like a scared little chicken. That's what folks like Manu, Tony and Kawhi have done on their first years.

[dabom]

Lot of pussies on these boards. Facts

[TimDunkem]

If I'm a homer what are you? real question. Definitely not a fan.
I watch every game, go to the games when I can, I wear the merchandise, I root for them every game despite what you believe. Just because I'm critical when it's well deserved doesn't make me a bad fan. Believe it or not, fandom isn't simple, blind, tribal-like allegiance.

You think everyone should be a cheerleader and just have that "rah-rah, go team!" mentality. Like I said to Bill, it's not all black and white. And people vent their frustrations in their own way in this forum when the team is playing piss poor. It's pretty obvious.

[TheGreatYacht]

Let me find out you're one of those "If you don't like our president you can leave the country" folks, Bill. Smh

[raybies]

If this team was shit, I'd say it but we are in an era of unprecedented success and some of us still have to hear about it. Man up. Grow a pair

[dabom]

Realist. Fact

[DAF86]

Ok son. You are the one that is right and everybody else is wrong.

P/S: Go check how many championships River Plate has won on the last 20 years and see if they haven't been succesful.

or is it? Seems simple to me. We got a great team so I support them. You rag on a great team. It's spoiled. If there was a reason to be pissed at this team I would be, but nah I'm pissed at so called fans making stupid arguments. We are in our likely glory days, and I have to read shit every day. Y'all can't enjoy this ride? We may never have this again tbh.

[SAGirl]

After that horrible stint, I'm guessing Manu is done for the night. Enjoy your rest. :lol
If Pop is going to treat everyone the same, he should not play the rest of the night. Give the opportunity to someone else. maybe you discover the younger guys can step up. Manu doesn't have it tonight and it doesn't send a good message to everyone else.

but Pop being Pop it wouldn't surprise if he does put them out there again.

Nah it's a fundamental flaw of mankind to overcomplicate things. It really is simple.

All you want is everyone here to kiss the Spurs ass all the time. You're in the wrong forum for that. Your philosophy as a fan doesn't mesh with the environment here.

[dabom]

There's being critical, and being a pussy bitch made faggot crying cuck. Ya need to stick to facts.

[DAF86]

Just give it to Kyle and clear out.

[SAGirl]

God I'm sick of watching Patty Mills "facilitate". At this point all his minutes should be going to Forbes.
I agree.

Do you even understand what a forum is for? You discuss...and you know... and debate things?
