Game Thread: Spurs vs Heat -- Wed. (12/6) - 7:30/C (3:30am Riga Time)

[BatManu20]

Back home tonight to face an 11-12 Heat team who have lost 3 of their last 4. Kyle and Kawhi remain out, but everyone else is expected to be available. Let's get it.

Top 5 in FT percentage? I thought we were horrible in that regard but obviously most of the league is worse

[NameLess Scrub]

Spurs will lose tonight due to some scrub dropping 26 pts on them. Maybe Tyler Johnson.

Also Dion Waiters will look like a star. If the game is close he'll hit the game winner.

We survived mega scrub Reggie Jackson, I think we can handle Miami.

WINNNNN!!! :flag:

Home game ... win

[SAGirl]

:flag:Definitely a win.
Stay healthy my spurs. :toast

[TheGreatYacht]

Whiteside has one of the lowest IQ's in the league. Our bigs should dominate.

Expect a Tyler Johnson/Dion Weighters/James Johnson breakout night

[Mr. Body]

Miami doesn't have much talent. Shows how good a coach Spoelstra is that they're hanging around .500.

[NameLess Scrub]

We survived mega scrub Reggie Jackson, I think we can handle Miami.

He's probably too good or consistent to apply for this.

[bklynspursfan]

Hopefully Kawhi is back vs Boston, so we can beat them worse than they beat us.

You didn't have to do this. I'm already convinced they'll beat the Spurs tonight.

[Darius Bieber]

Heat by 20+ tbh

[BatManu20]

Completely random but this is what we're dealing with in Los Angeles right now... Not far from where I live. Right off the 405 by the Getty Center. Almost apocalyptic.

[Ice009]

What's wrong with Whiteside? He missed the last game against the Spurs. I kind wanted to see him play this time as it would have been a harder test for the Spurs going against a defensive big. Has he been playing much this season?

[Seventyniner]

Top 5 in FT percentage? I thought we were horrible in that regard but obviously most of the league is worse

Anything less than 100% will feel disappointing, any miss and you think "he should have made that!"

It's a surprise this season, but not the last two: Kawhi and Aldridge are very good FT shooters and together attempt a large percentage of the team's FTs.

He suffered a bone bruise in his left knee on opening night against the Magic, and missed the next five games. But while he's since returned to the lineup, the issue has not gone away, at times forcing him to miss practice. So Miami shut him down for two weeks.

[Thunder1]

Interesting game tonight, to be sure...my son is a rabid Heat fan & we'll be watching tonight's game together..I'll make sure there isn't anything like a baseball bat laying around within his reach..

Notice how no one is crying for handouts or donations? Just because California has the best economy in the country, doesn't mean it doesn't need a helping hand, tbh.

:lol

Spurs need to go small now or they're gonna find themselves down big early. Not like LMA or Gasol can punish Miami for playing small.

Aldridge being a man in there.

[TheGreatYacht]

They're literally attacking Green each time and it's working

[BanditHiro]

god damn the Heat are unstoppable

Spurs 3 point defense has to be at the bottom of the league. It's pathetic.

Is this true? They usually lead in this statistical category.

Bertans did lay down a slick bloc in transition though...
But yeah... the D.

[bklynspursfan]

Is this true? They usually lead in this statistical category.

Pretty sure they're in the top 5-7 range in the league in that department.

[TheGreatYacht]

Brandon Paul getting burned twice. Fucking scrub

[lefty20]

Watching Patty's hair bounce while he runs is oddly.... pleasing, tbh. :lol

[bklynspursfan]

They won't score 100

[Robz4000]

You did this ElNono

[BanditHiro]

lol a loss and an injured Manu...what a shitty night for the Spurs

[weeks]

fuck

[TheGreatYacht]

Paul cutting instead of standing on the corner. God this dude is clueless.

[ElNono]

You did this ElNono

age IMO

[bklynspursfan]

Please be ok Manu :depressed

[tonight...you]

Whoa...

[NASpurs]

RIP this team :lol, Jesus

[dabom]

Somewhere SAGirl is laughing. :lol

[bklynspursfan]

lol a loss and an injured Manu...what a shitty night for the Spurs

A first quarter loss, sure.

[TheGreatYacht]

BumP3 finishes his quarter off with a shot that doesn't hit the rim. It's like the OKC game all over again

[tonight...you]

That was pathetic.

[DAF86]

Not seeing. What happened with Manu?

[Darius Bieber]

Warriors up 20 on the road in Charlotte Without their superstar. Spurs down 8 at home against the Heat Without their superstar. This is why this team is trash and not a contender.

[SPURt]

So much butt packed into one quarter. I hope Manu is ok.

[bklynspursfan]

938589831399174149

[Robz4000]

Manu back on the bench

[NASpurs]

Did Manu's knee buckle or did it twist?

[SPURt]

Warriors up 20 on the road in Charlotte Without ONE OF their superstarS. Spurs down 8 at home against the Heat Without their superstar. This is why this team is trash and not a contender.
FIFY.

[tonight...you]

Not seeing. What happened with Manu?
looked non-contact, but he was in pain after slamming his leg, I guess to jump.

[bklynspursfan]

Not seeing. What happened with Manu?

Was just driving, and something happened with his knee. Didn't seem to bang knees or anything, looked non-contacty. Ran back to the locker room, but is back on the bench now

[NASpurs]

He's already back on the bench. Crazy.

[bklynspursfan]

Warriors up 20 on the road in Charlotte Without their superstar. Spurs down 8 at home against the Heat Without their superstar. This is why this team is trash and not a contender.

They're not going to lose the game you fake fan you

[Robz4000]

Gasol and LMA near useless in this game so far.

[ElNono]

Manu back before Kawhi... warrior...

[bklynspursfan]

Pau needs to wake the hell up

[boutons_deux]

Pau sux

[TheGreatYacht]

Jesus fucking Christ. Everyone is getting hurt yet this fucking llama is still turning the ball over at Age 38

[boutons_deux]

Pa sux again

[Robz4000]

Spurs really need Lee back.

[ElNono]

Spurs really need Lee back.

Ayres, IMO :lobt:

Mengke Bateer

[ElNono]

Spurs champ... you must me a NASF

[Robz4000]

Isn't Miami ranked like 28th in the league offensively?

[TheGreatYacht]

This team wouldn't be soft if Gasol and Green were traded by years end

[Robz4000]

Spurs champ... you must me a NASF

Which one tbh?

[NASpurs]

Isn't Miami ranked like 28th in the league offensively?

And aren't the Spurs #2 on defense? What's going on.

[Robz4000]

:lmao Dragic shutting LMA down in the post

[TheGreatYacht]

Manu :wow

[BatManu20]

Just got home from work. Checking in. Let's do this

[NASpurs]

Warrior :cry

[Robz4000]

And aren't the Spurs #2 on defense? What's going on.

Miami keeps generating open look after open look. Spurs aren't putting much effort in on D but Miami usually can't hit.

[BatManu20]

Isn't Miami ranked like 28th in the league offensively?

27th* but yea. They should come back to earth soon.

[NASpurs]

Miami keeps generating open look after open look. Spurs aren't putting much effort in on D but Miami usually can't hit.

Well something's gotta give tonight. Hopefully Miami doesn't fluke a win.

[K...]

They shot him up with so much juice he can't feela damn thing from the knees

[bklynspursfan]

Isn't Miami ranked like 28th in the league offensively?

It'll balance out. Only 9 points thus far this quarter after their hot start

[bklynspursfan]

Danny hasn't been fully set his last 2 attempts

[ElNono]

Looks like his hometown Honduras situation has Manu playing with a chip on his shoulder

[TheGreatYacht]

Danny hasn't been fully set his last 2 attempts
Lol no. He's been open but hesitates like a beta cuck.

[ElNono]

40 years old, coming from an injury... what a warrior

[ElNono]

these niggas are unconscious from 3

[bklynspursfan]

Lol no. He's been open but hesitates like a beta cuck.

Right, been open but going for that little pump fake. 2nd time was a bad pass from LMA, he kinda rushed it

[NASpurs]

Good to see Manu's able to wipe his ass though. Looked really bad there for a second.

[Robz4000]

Might be Forbes' night.

[TheGreatYacht]

Lol Pop trying to hold this beast back to give Brandon Paul mandatory forced minutes

[BatManu20]

Bryn called it.

[K...]

It's abuse bertans time for Miami

[Robz4000]

I miss the Spurs having games you could circle as a free win.

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurs playing great. These faggots just playing out of their minds

[ElNono]

is that a woman ref? :wow

Why isn't she cooking dinner for the players?

[NASpurs]

The Miami Flukes need to come back down to Earth where they can go back to sucking per par.

[dabom]

Double foul. :lmao

[Mikeanaro]

Fucking refs.

[vander]

double foul was a great call tbh

[BatManu20]

Difference of opinion on the call? Wtf? So it's a double-foul and a jump ball... never seen that.

[bklynspursfan]

Solid response that quarter. Those fluke shots wont continue

[Robz4000]

The third worst offense in the league scores 58 points on the Spurs in a half. Pathetic.

[BatManu20]

Miami shoots 58% from the field this half. Gotta be a season high or close to it.

[vander]

The third worst offense in the league scores 58 points on the Spurs in a half. Pathetic.

pretty simple too, they're just getting to the hoop and kicking out for open three every time. amazing that even with all the switching they are still getting to the paint with ease

[vander]

Difference of opinion on the call? Wtf? So it's a double-foul and a jump ball... never seen that.

I'd like to see more of it, discourage both sides to just play for the foul, play basketball instead

[spursistan]

Pleasantly surprised at how good Parker has looked post-tendon injury tbh..

I don't want to jinx him and we might want to see how his body reacts after increasing his minutes as the season progresses, but definitely he isn't totally finished as many declared the moment he went down last May..I honestly thought that was it for him and he may not even be ready to play in 2017-18..

[SpurPadre]

is that a woman ref? :wow

Why isn't she cooking dinner for the players?

You haven't asked Becky that?

[ElNono]

You haven't asked Becky that?

Becky is more of a dyke, tbh

[ElNono]

why is Fathead taking mins away from Bryn? :stirpot:

[bklynspursfan]

Dion really arguing he didn't foul Manu

[timtonymanu]

Dion Waiters, another player that only plays like a star against the Spurs

[bklynspursfan]

Aldridge has to finish that, but how wasn't that a foul?

[Robz4000]

:lmao Miami won't miss

[TheGreatYacht]

Did Gasol throw a tantrum with Pop like his younger brother?

[Robz4000]

Dion Waiters, another player that only plays like a star against the Spurs

Or the Dubs.

[boutons_deux]

Heat with 14 3 G's in 3 qtrs

[Mikeanaro]

Fucking refs, that was an AND ONE!

[Robz4000]

Just ridiculous that Miami is doing this to the Spurs, and on the road no less. Most of these shots are wide open too.

[BatManu20]

The Heat having their best shooting performance of the season against us tonight, naturally.

[TheGreatYacht]

Patty's pressure to perform

http://a.espncdn.com/combiner/i?img=/i/headshots/nba/players/full/2994526.png&w=350&h=254

[TheGreatYacht]

Fuck. Gasol is in and the mandatory postups are already here. Ugh.

[BatManu20]

Forbes with a career-high five 3's tonight already.

[SpurPadre]

Come on, LMA get yours while it lasts cuz God Leonard will take your touches on Friday, tbh.

Aldridgre is back to Lamarsha mode the past two games..smh.

He sees Leonard in his rear view mirror, ready to take his touches and it's freaking him out, tbh.

[ElNono]

old man riverwalk

[Robz4000]

Miami gonna set the 3-pointers made record tonight?

[TheGreatYacht]

We need to find a way to bring Tyler Johnson, Reggie Jackson, and Monta Ellis to SA. Build around them

[BatManu20]

Spurs have started defending them better from three, but they let them get hot in the first half; gonna be tough to stop them now. Just gonna have to outscore them.

[TheGreatYacht]

You are forgetting JJ Barea.
Forgot about the little Colombian coca dealer

[DAF86]

[ElNono]

[ElNono]

Let's see if Poop keeps disrespecting MVParker, tbh

[DAF86]

Tony 4th quarter sighting.

Sons..Forbes is a keeper, but not sure they can afford him with 50Millstone attached to the team..

God damn 2nd missed dunk from Rudy

[sasaint]

Started watching with 3-4 minutes left in the third. Pau has been a beast since I've been watching.

[bklynspursfan]

I really thought Gay was gonna throw that down

[Mr. Body]

938607848380133376

Awesome signing.

[TheGreatYacht]

"When there's a will, there's a way with Rudy Gay."

https://www.famousbirthdays.com/faces/elliott-sean-image.jpg

[BatManu20]

Spurs have turned up the heat defensively this qtr. *Pun intended*

[Robz4000]

Started watching with 3-4 minutes left in the third. Pau has been a beast since I've been watching.

He was awful to start; got benched until late in the third at the end of the first quarter. Been great in this stint though.

[Robz4000]

Spurs have turned up the heat defensively this qtr. *Pun intended*

Heat have missed some good looks, but the Spurs are forcing turnovers. Green has been a huge part of that.

[BatManu20]

938609713738141696

[sasaint]

Bryn saw that too late.

[BatManu20]

938609678862487552

[TheGreatYacht]

Just a reminder that Parker has a -5.3BPM.....

"Advanced" stats :lol

[Robz4000]

Rudy has also been huge in transition this quarter tbh.

[sasaint]

Heat have missed some good looks, but the Spurs are forcing turnovers. Green has been a huge part of that.

If Danny keeps playing like he has the first quarter of the season I will have to buy a "Green" jersey. :tu

[unleashbaynes]

Rudy with his best Klaw impression, Kawhi woulda finished that for an and-1 though

[Mikeanaro]

That guy ruined the Gay statement...

[Keepin' it real]

Don't worry, I'm here now.

[unleashbaynes]

Beautiful game :cry

[sasaint]

Nice ball movement and then DANNYYYYYYY!

[Hoops Czar]

The closer coming in to mop up.

[Robz4000]

Pop opening the way for Miami to come back with horrible substitutions.

[Mikeanaro]

These scrubs made things really hard for 3 quarters, now we see why they are crap.

[Robz4000]

Need to come back with Rudy and Green here.

[spursistan]

Get Parker back on court to close out this shit..

[DAF86]

Pop opening the way for Miami to come back with horrible substitutions.

Micromanaging even on crunch time. :lol

[Mikeanaro]

That Patty swat was legendary, too bad those faggot refs ruined everything.

[sasaint]

Rudy has also been huge in transition this quarter tbh.

Bryn must have been sharp, too. He looks confident out there. I saw him make a couple of buckets, including a trey. But the hustle on the loose ball that led to Danny's feeding Rudy on the break was sweet.

[BanditHiro]

ugh they are blowing it

[Robz4000]
