Game Thread: Spurs vs Celtics -- Fri. (12/8) - 8:30/C (4:30am Riga Time)

[BatManu20]

At home tonight as we face a red-hot Celtics squad who are sporting the best record in the league at 22-4. Brad Stevens is probably the best coach in the League right now and Kyrie is a notorious Spurs killer. They've won 4 in a row, their record speaks for itself, and they still haven't lost to a Western Conference team so far this season. Will be a tough game for sure, but a good challenge for our guys. Let's get it.

revenge's game

[raybies]

This is a great test for our guys. We were no where near ready the first time we played them. We've grown a lot since then. Will come down to defense, and who can execute better down the stretch. I expect a low scoring game, high 80's to mid 90's. Slugfest, that I feel we take this time.

96-92 Spurs

[DAF86]

Rudy Gay with the inadverted(?) Mills diss. "Bryn it's Patty 2.0" :lol

Fuck. Get ready to see Pop call numerous timeouts during 2-0 BOS runs. They'll be out of TO's by halftime.

Also expect some edgy shit like 5-man substitutions. Pop always tries to be the smartest kid in Special Ed when the lights are on.

[SpursforSix]

Fuck Boston. Spurs by 7

[Mr. Body]

Full strength the Spurs are better. Not right now.

[TheGreatYacht]

Faggots all around the league never miss a chance to kill the Spurs. We're the Anti-Warriors when it comes to injury luck.

Or when the Spurs are down 12 with 6 minutes left and he pulls everyone out for the third stringers.

[TheGreatYacht]

Never fails :lol

[NameLess Scrub]

Spurs will lose because the Celtics have Kyrie and about 4 similar rookies made on nba2k My Player that will kill the Spurs.

I was at BOS last month when they played and the results will be the same, except I won't pay to watch it.

Also Kawhi will get credit taken from him by the ESPN cast, even though the Spurs will lose and would likely win if he was playing.

[cd98]

Instant loss.

Pop will do his part. Hold out Kawhi. Start Mills or Murray. Play 5 bench players the last two minutes of a close game. He's got this.

On national TV, Spurs probably lose, at home, and decisively.

But a win, without KL and KA, would be so sweet

Damn the Pistons made a late run and had a chance to tie or take the lead with less than 20 seconds left, and Reggie Jackson went full Kobe and put up one of the worst shot attempts in recent memory with plenty of time still left on the clock that naturally resulted in a brick.


Dubs win.

Cavs winning streak ended by the Pacers though. Oladipo will be an All-Star this year. He's ballin'.

[NASpurs]

Ma Touches is 12-33 ever since that rest day. Hopefully he pulls out of his funk tonight.

I take that back, he's back lackluster since he scored 41 points against the Grizzlies: 19-50. I'm guessing he's hearing Kawhi's footsteps.

[TheGreatYacht]

Incredible what happens when you're out of Westbrook<3's team :lol

[BatManu20]

Game time. Let's go.

[NASpurs]

Hopefully Kyrie doesn't go for 60 tonight.

[kjhip1]

Here we go, time to get some payback! GSG, I got US winning 104-98.

[TheGreatYacht]

Empty seats against the best team in the league :lmao

[BatManu20]

Half-empty stadium to start the game per par.

[NASpurs]

:lmao of course

[BatManu20]

Pop calls a timeout after a quick 5-0 start by the Spurs bc Pop

[kjhip1]

Here we go, pop with the early TOs

[NASpurs]

Poop already freaking out. Typical early television time out. Here comes the hockey line change.

[TheGreatYacht]

Jaylen Brown is wearing goggles and he still has a better view of where his assignment is than D-League Danny

[Robz4000]

LMA continues to look like absolute garbage. This could be over early.

[kjhip1]

I love how LMA screamed give me that ish as the basket went in...

[spurs10]

Empty seats against the best team in the league :lmao Compared to last game this is a stampede.

[BatManu20]

Fuck. Get ready to see Pop call numerous timeouts during 2-0 BOS runs. They'll be out of TO's by halftime.


1 minute into the game and right on cue :lol

Amazing

[NASpurs]

Getting ready for the mass subs :lol

[Reck]

:lmao

[BatManu20]

Pau building a new arena with all these wide open bricks... Tell him to stop shooting FFS.

[timtonymanu]

:lol Boston is the best team in the league. Of course the spurs come out looking slow and going through the motions, that won’t win the game tonight.

[spurs10]

Have we ever gone a whole game without a basket?

[Robz4000]

:rollin this is awful

[TheGreatYacht]

Parker setting up everyone and they brick wide open shots lmfao

[bklynspursfan]

Grandpa juice is needed

[boutons_deux]

Hot shooting 0-8

[NASpurs]

:lmao the subs coming in

[boutons_deux]

0-10

[timtonymanu]

Gtfo starters. Should have just been a garbage time game tonight.

[Uriel]

:lol Boston is the best team in the league. Of course the spurs come out looking slow and going through the motions, that won’t win the game tonight.
:lol No.

Even the Spurs are better when fully healthy.

[bklynspursfan]

Should have 5-7 points now had we made some of these open looks. Pau cold as ice

[Darius Bieber]

Lmao this team is trash

[Thunder1]

Another slow start offensively..

[TheGreatYacht]

That god damn llama spit on the court as Pop subbed his pussy ass out

[NASpurs]

:lol it's almost like you can write a script to this

[duncan2k5]

Get Murray in so he can torch kyrie again

[TheGreatYacht]

Danny Green watching his girl get impregnated by their whole team smh

[SuperCam]

kyrie is such a fkin spur killer tbh

[RD2191]

Spurms :lol

[timtonymanu]

:lol No.

Even the Spurs are better when fully healthy.

I’m clearly talking about record wise, Urinal.

[BatManu20]

Kyrie is, always has been, and always will be a Spurs killer.

[NASpurs]

Already wanting to get tossed out :lol

[MVPCues]

Nobody wants to pass to Bertans when he is standing under the basket...

[SuperCam]

kyrie shitting on patty per par

[BatManu20]

Putting Patty on Kyrie... :lol

[Uriel]

I’m clearly talking about record wise, Urinal.
No you weren't.

And :lol at backtracking and name calling to save face.

[TheGreatYacht]

100% legal screen. Fatty just flopped instead of fighting thru it

[bklynspursfan]

Kyrie isn't gonna miss I guess.. but we're good tonight. Jus took us a few mins to get going

[timtonymanu]

Finally some steady offense instead of watching so many Pau misses

[TheGreatYacht]

Tatum getting in on this gangbang of Danny's girl SMH

[$pursDynasty]

LaSharkus

[NASpurs]

Daddy Irving, please stop abusing our guards.

[BatManu20]

Tatum is ridiculously good for a 19 year-old... has been all season.

[timtonymanu]

No you weren't.

And :lol at backtracking and name calling to save face.

Umm I was. Warriors are clearly the best team in the league, but Boston has the best record. So quit making up shit.

[SuperCam]

kyrie top 5 spurkiller of all time tbqh

[Thunder1]

LMA finding his rhythm now...

[TheGreatYacht]

Some of you :cry beautiful game :cry & :cry muh culture :cry faggot neckbeards not wanting Kyrie over the summer :lmao LMFAOOOOO

[bklynspursfan]

Like LMA posting and backing guys down vs that shot. Especially when he's had success when he's gotten in the paint. Don't let up, keep pounding them inside.

[$pursDynasty]

Why are Patty and Tony on Kyrie instead of Verde?

[NASpurs]

Some of you :cry beautiful game :cry faggot neckbeards not wanting Kyrie over the summer :lmao LMFAOOOOO

Man no fucking shit, and he wanted to be here too. Fuck this.

[boutons_deux]

Kyrie 17

Kyrie eating Patty's lunch... But yeah... Play patty over DJ

[Robz4000]

Kyrie gonna go for 80 tonight tbh.

[Chinook]

Like LMA posting and backing guys down vs that shot. Especially when he's had success when he's gotten in the paint. Don't let up, keep pounding them inside.

They're letting Boston foul the shit out the Spurs right now.

[kjhip1]

Hopefully, kyrie cools down a bit.. good thing LMA came to play. Just gotta chip away

[kjhip1]

They're letting Boston foul the shit out the Spurs right now.

Yeah I could hear that slap from miles away

All NBA defense Danny Green just watching everyone guard Kyrie, while he's busy getting his shit pushed in by Brown & Tatum

LMA continues to look like absolute garbage. This could be over early.

Haha.

[Thunder1]

Manu!!

[bklynspursfan]

Yea.. that T from Pop might get he some calls, sometimes it works. He had an obvious and 1

[TheGreatYacht]

Man no fucking shit, and he wanted to be here too. Fuck this.
If only PATFO blew into breathalyzers like they blew our offseason plans, Buford wouldn't have a DUI on his record

[NASpurs]

Hey guys, Rudy Gay is still on the team. How about giving him a shot or two.

[tholdren]

Manu at 40 blowing by rookies... smh todays shit

[BatManu20]

Pau has been playing well as of late, but he's been horrible here tonight, on both ends.

[bklynspursfan]

Pau just keep your freaking arms up man. Sheesh

[boutons_deux]

Pau can't block shit

[bklynspursfan]

Down 5 after all that. If Kyrie slows down a bit, we'll be ok. If he doesn't, we need Bertans/Forbes/Patty/DG all on point from 3

[timtonymanu]

Good quarter all things considered. Only down 5 after Boston’s hot start.

[BatManu20]

Despite Boston's ridiculously hot start and the Spurs' slow start, we're only down 5.

[duncan2k5]

Our point guards are getting destroyed... PUT IN DJ FOR DEFENSE!! wtf! Even when LMA scores, they come right back down and score against out point guards

[Thunder1]

Spurs played better as the 1st quarter progressed..

[TheGreatYacht]

Green not wanting to bring his 37.4 3P% down lmao

[Robz4000]

Haha.

He read my post imo. You're welcome.

[$pursDynasty]

Despite Boston's ridiculously hot start and the Spurs' slow start, we're only down 5.

I mean, he's on pace for 48 points :lol

[SpurPadre]

Good job of hanging in there after their hot start. I would like to see Murray get some run though for defense on Irving.

[NASpurs]

If only PATFO blew into breathalyzers like they blew our offseason plans, Buford wouldn't have a DUI on his record

:lol fucking hell

[TheGreatYacht]

Green is unplayable

[bklynspursfan]

Missed a big momentum swing there

[NASpurs]

Seems like Manu made his only layup for the night early on.

[SAGirl]

Rudy Gay !:toast

[BatManu20]

Rudy Gay. Keep feeding him.

[Thunder1]

We need some defensive stops..

[BatManu20]

Fucking hell Boston can't miss tonight.

[NASpurs]

It's amazing how the Spurs are only down 7.

[Snaq O'Meal]

Our point guards are getting destroyed... PUT IN DJ FOR DEFENSE!! wtf! Even when LMA scores, they come right back down and score against out point guards

Poop loves his defensively challenged midgets.

[NASpurs]

Celtics are just getting whatever shot they want, they're just missing them.

[Robz4000]

:lmao Gay

[SAGirl]

Rozier killing the Spurs

[bklynspursfan]

Being super careless with the ball. Rudy just lost that one

[Robz4000]

Celtics are just getting whatever shot they want, they're just missing them.

This, while the Spurs have to struggle for every single shot. Shows the difference between a well-coached team and one that isn't.

Defense killing spurs

Typical Gay against above .500 teams.

Nothing to see here folks.

We are a pottery team without Parker

Parker smiling as he remember what Drunkford gave Fatty "toss a Patty on the barbie" Mills last summer :lol

[SAGirl]

Despite all that, 5 point game. Weird.
Celtics started chucking 3s for a while and missed a bunch. Allowed Tony to make a run

[SpurPadre]

you have a point. Pop would say no excuses.

But your point is also valid in that it suggests we aren't deep enough as other teams like Boston.

[TheGreatYacht]

Thanks means a lot coming from the resident stalker.
:lol damn bro, he won't leave you alone for the next year now

True but I think our margin for error is smaller than theirs.

Sorry for triggering you faggot. I'm sure you're getting a hardon thinking about me.

[SAGirl]

What great defense from Danny helping Davis out!!!!:flag:

[BatManu20]

I love Bertans' alpha mentality tbh. Even if his ability doesn't really match it yet. Team needs more of that.

[SpurPadre]

Davis looking better on D

[TheGreatYacht]

Jesus Christ. Green is being forced to be the playmaking guard because of Fatty's ineptitude

[wildbill2u]

Bertans is playing good if not great defense tonight. Second blok and has a strip that wound up as someone's steal. LIke it.

[hater]

Bertans playing great D!!!

[SAGirl]

I think it's fair to say, Davis has improved defensively enough playing as a 4 where we shouldn't see Joff ever again except rest games.

[TheGreatYacht]

Fatty :lmao LMFAOOOOOO POOP

[BatManu20]

Goddammit Patty

[SAGirl]

Lamarcus the only man in there

[bklynspursfan]

LMA doing some dirty work. Another and 1 not called

[$pursDynasty]

Typical Patty with the turnovers, where is Dabom?

[tholdren]

Put in murray

[NASpurs]

Fatty :lmao LMFAOOOOOO POOP

12:01 :lol

[BatManu20]

LMA is working hard down low. Battling

[tholdren]

Sorry for triggering you faggot. I'm sure you're getting a hardon thinking about me.

Lololol youre so mad... hilarious

[bklynspursfan]

Refs showing LMA no love. They called that super late

[duncan2k5]

If DJ made that stretch of turnovers patty did, he would have been benched indefinitely, and ppl on here would have been blowing it up and calling him unplayable... But it's patty, so he just made a mistake... Keep him in...

[NASpurs]

Lololol youre so mad... hilarious

Saying "lolololol" like a teenage girl. Calm down sweetie

[theman21]

What’s with the refs swallowing the whistle on Boston for the majority of this game?

[bklynspursfan]

Refs suck. Guy drove in against 3 guys and he gets rewarded for being out of control

[tholdren]

Lol tatums haircut

[SAGirl]

Davis getting dem checks tbh :tu

12:01 :lol
Pop deciding to go with no PG on the floor because of his trash play. Twelve Oh One AM, man.

This is how he always plays on D...ppl on here are just stupid and like to carry on this narrative of him being a horrible defender

[NASpurs]

2 point game :wow

[tholdren]

Saying "lolololol" like a teenage girl. Calm down sweetie

Hilarious... lololol so wrecked

[SAGirl]

Aldridge is going to that all star tbh

[hater]

Bertans looks like a different guy out there

What did they feed him??

[Thunder1]

Wow!!...a 2 point game...

[NASpurs]

Hilarious... lololol so wrecked

"lololol", your triggered phrase.

[bklynspursfan]

Wtf another BS call. Jesus this crap needs to change in the 2nd half

[Robz4000]

Brandon Paul has turned into a complete scrub after his hot start to the season.

[TheGreatYacht]

Brandon Paul can't even be trusted for 1 minute of floor time. There's a reason this retard has gotten cut from every team he's ever been in

[BatManu20]

That is a horrendous foul call on BP3 though. Awful.

[Chinook]

Brandon leaving no dicks unsucked at this point.

[tholdren]

"lololol", your triggered phrase.

Lololol thats it? Man you are mad... and not smart

[bklynspursfan]

Some miscommunication there, Aldridge looked confused on what was supposed to be run there

[SpurPadre]

This is how he always plays on D...ppl on here are just stupid and like to carry on this narrative of him being a horrible defender

I never said he was horrible on d but he has improved.
