Game Thread: Spurs vs Mavs -- Sat. (12/16) - 7:30/C (3:30am Riga Time)

[Dverde]

That Celtics victory feels like a month ago after watching them scrub it up vs Dallas and Houston.

[bklynspursfan]

Dam Davis

[sasaint]

I know, right? With the way they're playing they'll be lucky to get into the 2nd round...:lmao

Fify

[TimDunkem]

I was gonna say, at this point, I don't even believe that the Spurs will play the Warriors in May with how shitty this team looks. :lol

Yep. Teams are figuring them out and LMA is already starting to wilt. Just wait until those playoff defenses collapse on him.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Surprised Pop hasn't tossed himself out of this game yet.

[duncan2k5]

There's no way they come back with the fire and vengeance they did that next year. They had no reason to if they won.

No way? You do know that teams have repeated before... Right?

[bklynspursfan]

Patty is so bad on defense... Smh... And looks even more clueless when that mop on his head flails wildly

There's nothing he (nor most guys) can do when Dirk shoots over them. He's done it to Bruce, Kawhi, TD. Those guys weren't always successful, idk why u think a much shorter guy would be. Unless you think Murray is the magic Dirk stopper

[TimDunkem]

Fify

Better hope OKC doesn't go on a run and get the 6th seed.

[raybies]

thought gay got alot of contact on that shot

[bklynspursfan]

No way? You do know that teams have repeated before... Right?

I said there's no way they come back with the fire and vengeance they did.... Reading comprehension bro. Never said no way they repeat

[Spurtacular]

How do you not throw an ally-oop over JJ Barrea?

[NASpurs]

Lose this game and Minny would be one game behind the Spurs on the loss column (pending how their Suns games goes). Remember how the 3rd seed was locked up :lol

[raybies]

He's not even playing this game. :lmao
I guess you can't put 2 and 2 together. You can reread my arguements if you like. I made my points. I'm gonna enjoy this game with a nice glass of wine. :toast

[bklynspursfan]

thought gay got alot of contact on that shot

They've been crapping on him tonight. BS calls on him , and no respect on the other end

[sasaint]

How do you not throw an ally-oop over JJ Barrea?

Hit his 3-iron thin.

[SpurPadre]

Alot of butter fingers right now.

[Hoops Czar]

Spurs D making Yogi Ferrel look like KD.

[bklynspursfan]

Alot of butter fingers right now.

Aldridge had that rebound , just lost it smh

[sasaint]

They've been crapping on him tonight. BS calls on him , and no respect on the other end

Murray to a lesser extent.

[Spurtacular]

Bertans passing up on the three to cut the gap to three. Pop broke that kid. Even when he's having a good game, he doesn't have confidence to do what he's in the fucking game for.

[boutons_deux]

Mavs are 2-11 on the road

[SpurPadre]

Aldridge had that rebound , just lost it smh

We're winning this game though.

[duncan2k5]

Patty D making Yogi Ferrel look like KD.

Fixed for you

[raybies]

finally a call

[SpurPadre]

Forbes' shooting is overrated, tbh.

[TimDunkem]

Finally within striking distance. Get that win, Spurs. No excuse to lose to this scrub ass team twice in one week.

[TimDunkem]

No one on this team can guard Barea. :lmao

[rasuo214]

Kleber looking like an All-Star out there.

[Spurtacular]

Manu gonna save us? Sure as fuck ain't gonna be Aldridge to the rescue.

[raybies]

hopefully thats gets bryn going

[duncan2k5]

Aldridge fading away over a 6'5 SG...

[raybies]

great effort there...

[SpurPadre]

Forbes missing big shots

[Dverde]

What a HasBryn!!! Make the open shot

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Fucking pathetic, no reason Spurs should have two losses to one of the worst teams in the league.

[raybies]

unbelievable.. Kleber

[hater]

We're winning this game though.

:lmao

[sasaint]

Manu gonna save us? Sure as fuck ain't gonna be Aldridge to the rescue.


Aldridge fading away over a 6'5 SG...

That's Touches!

[boutons_deux]

Bryn'S missed 2 3s hurt

[Darius Bieber]

Anyone who think this Spurs team is a contender is an idiot.

[SpurPadre]

:lmao

Yeah, that was Trump supporter stupid right there, tbh.

[BatManu20]

Kleber Nowitzki 9/10 with a career high 21 on us of course :lol

[Mikeanaro]

Pop with the master coaching, the Patty on Dirk worked flawlessly.

[sasaint]

Forbes missing big shots

Yeah, I have been hoping Pop's Curry talk had a kernel of truth, but Bryn hasn't stepped up like I've been hoping. Bummer!

[boutons_deux]

4 - 24 3GS, that's game

[SpurPadre]

Pop should retract his Curry comparison for Forbes.

[Dverde]

Fucking pathetic, no reason Spurs should have two losses to one of the worst teams in the league.
The Mavs are missing some pieces too

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Pop with the master coaching, the Patty on Dirk worked flawlessly.

He's specifically called them to address this and Patty and Bertans continued to switch easily.

[sasaint]

Kleber Nowitzki 9/10 with a career high 21 on us of course :lol

Scrub doing scrub things against the Spurs.

[DeRozan m8]

Why is Murray on?

And not Gay?

[SpurPadre]

Yeah, I have been hoping Pop's Curry talk had a kernel of truth, but Bryn hasn't stepped up like I've been hoping. Bummer!

Well, he made up right there!!!

[Mikeanaro]

Murray, what a scrub.

[bklynspursfan]

Maybe Murray was fouled, but not a great drive there. Slow down man

[BatManu20]

Wtf was that Murray

[bklynspursfan]

He's specifically called them to address this and Patty and Bertans continued to switch easily.

People don't pay attention on here

[TimDunkem]

No excuse to drop this game.

[Spurtacular]

Bertans open for the corner three. Pop calling timeout. :bang :bang :bang

[SuperCam]

lsing back to back to shitty mavs :lmao

Poop really outdoing himself

[ElNono]

This game still going?

[Mikeanaro]

Pretty Hard to win when you have a shitty Pau Gasol and Laughverne.

[wildbill2u]

Murray, what a scrub.


should have taken Murray out if Pop wants better odds to win the game. Since he left him in I suppose this is for a learning experience, but he has tried to play hero and turned ball over a couple of times or taken a wild shot.

[TimDunkem]

Pretty sad that they have to give it their all to beat the Mavs.

[duncan2k5]

The beauty of Murray on defense is that they can't abuse him on the switch

[bklynspursfan]

Dammit... Now they'll get the last shot

[sasaint]

should have taken Murray out if Pop wants better odds to win the game. Since he left him in I suppose this is for a learning experience, but he has tried to play hero and turned ball over a couple of times or taken a wild shot.

It's just like Manu has been mentoring him, tbh.

[bklynspursfan]

The beauty of Murray on defense is that they can't abuse him on the switch

Yea, but he abuses us on offense at times. Balances out I guess

[Chris]

LMAlpha bailing us out

[TheGreatYacht]

Enough time for Manu to foul Dirk imo

[sasaint]

Dammit... Now they'll get the last shot

Even if it was the end of the game, we should have gone 2 for 1.

[raybies]

Barea got fouled big time... but I'll take that big LMA shot BABY!

[wildbill2u]

Shouldn't leave Patty in on defense.

[Dverde]

Shouldn’t we be playing our best defenders now?

[Splits]

Enough time for Manu to foul Dirk imo

lmao

[duncan2k5]

should have taken Murray out if Pop wants better odds to win the game. Since he left him in I suppose this is for a learning experience, but he has tried to play hero and turned ball over a couple of times or taken a wild shot.

He turned it over once down the stretch... Lol @ couple of times...

[sasaint]

Barea got fouled big time... but I'll take that big LMA shot BABY!

I was shocked he didn't get a whistle - especially tonight.

[duncan2k5]

Yea, but he abuses us on offense at times. Balances out I guess

Huh? Dude he played well... Brought us back in the game in the 4th...why is it so hard to give the kid credit?

[raybies]

EYAH BAKBFPOIAHDF{OKANFH{LKADFLK FUCK FAKE FANS o

[sasaint]

He turned it over once down the stretch... Lol @ couple of times...

A TO and an unmakeable, forced shot.

[bklynspursfan]

We're winning this game though.

Yea we are....

[BatManu20]

Lmao Spurs completely stole that game :lol

[Chris]

Props to Manu played very well this game.

[wildbill2u]

Manu. He's Manu Ginobilli.

[SpurPadre]

Yea we are....

:bobo

[007nites]

Ho-Lee-Shit!

[bklynspursfan]

Huh? Dude he played well... Brought us back in the game in the 4th...why is it so hard to give the kid credit?

I gave him credit before and said he was playing well and had a BS call against him. But he gets too ahead of himself at times and rushes when it's not necessary. He made up for it on defense, but like I said it balances out

[raybies]

a wins A WIN TBH
SpurPadre dabs bro.

[dabom]

ElNono

[ElNono]

rofl rofl some assholes are going to be shut tight after det one

[TheGreatYacht]

Nail biter against the Mavs :lol

[TimDunkem]

Took a complete Mavs meltdown to squeak out a win but I'll take it. :lol

[SpurPadre]

LOL, Joffrey celebrating like it's Game 7 and Manu treating it like it's the end of the 1st quarter.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Good game.

[duncan2k5]

A TO and an unmakeable, forced shot.

U said a couple turnovers AND a forced shot... U were wrong... He had one turnover and one forced shot... And a lot of good plays on offense and defense to bring us back... Give the kid credit

[tholdren]

I gave him credit before and said he was playing well and had a BS call against him. But he gets too ahead of himself at times and rushes when it's not necessary. He made up for it on defense, but like I said it balances out

Dumb new age nba player

[raybies]

In b4 spurfan say we should of won

[daslicer]

Well this was fun. Entertaining thread with meltdowns but the Spurs still won which makes thread very comedic.

[raybies]

rofl rofl some assholes are going to be shut tight after det one
LMAO!!

[Dverde]

Nice way to see off Dirk for the season maybe career

[dabom]

Props to Manu played very well this game.

[SpurPadre]

SpurPadre dabs bro.

I need to do the next game thread, tbh.

[Thunder1]

Did I miss anything?

[Chris]

Took a complete Mavs meltdown to squeak out a win but I'll take it. :lol


too late :lol

[DarrinS]

Manu shits on his haters, per par.

[dabom]

Bench porker.

[sasaint]

Nail biter against the Mavs :lol

I'll take it. Tbh, we were missing 4 of our top players.

[TimDunkem]

LOL, Joffrey celebrating like it's Game 7 and Manu treating it like it's the end of the 1st quarter.

Bill Land acting like we just won the chip and didn't just squeak out a win against one of the worst teams in the NBA. :lol

[BatManu20]

Spurs finished the game on an 11-0 run to win it after trailing every minute of the game until we tied it with 23 seconds left. Wild.

[Mikeanaro]

should have taken Murray out if Pop wants better odds to win the game. Since he left him in I suppose this is for a learning experience, but he has tried to play hero and turned ball over a couple of times or taken a wild shot.
Sadly with Fathead, Kawhi, Parker out, even Hilliard had minutes, we are short handed it seems.

[TimDunkem]

too late :lol

Already said they had no business losing like 5 pages ago, tbh.

[sasaint]

U said a couple turnovers AND a forced shot... U were wrong... He had one turnover and one forced shot... And a lot of good plays on offense and defense to bring us back... Give the kid credit

Wrong poster. I didn't say anything before the post you quoted.

[cjw]

Nail biter against the Mavs :lol

Yes, without three key wings and the starting PG on the second night of a B2B? Your point? If you’re gonna troll, try harder next time.

[bklynspursfan]

Spurs finished the game on an 11-0 run to win it after trailing every minute of the game until we tied it with 23 seconds left. Wild.

I think it was 13-0.. wild nonetheless tho. Good stuff

[duncan2k5]

I gave him credit before and said he was playing well and had a BS call against him. But he gets too ahead of himself at times and rushes when it's not necessary. He made up for it on defense, but like I said it balances out

He is a young PG! Shoot... Our OLD players take bad shots and make dumb turnovers at times... Why do we not notice those? And it doesn't balance itself out... That makes no sense... LeBron turns over the ball and takes bad shots, so I guess it balances him out... No! DJ played great this game and was a huge factor in us making that 4th quarter push... When we looked dead in the water he kept pushing the pace, making jumpers, grabbing boards and running down the court... Finding open players... Playing great defense... Knocking down a couple fts... For u to throw all that out the window as a wash because he had one turnover and one bad shot isn't fair to the young kid

[boutons_deux]

Again Bryn goals 0 - 5 and then hits his final 3-g to make it a game and a win

[raybies]

I need to do the next game thread, tbh.
I support. We need to find other reliable hands. BatManu been carrying the load.

[duncan2k5]

Bench porker.

[raybies]

too late :lol
:lmao

[duncan2k5]

Incredible 4th by Murray, tbh... Was perfect on offense and defense apart from one forced shot and one turnover... No way we come back without his energy and him pushing the pace

[TimDunkem]

Finally within striking distance. Get that win, Spurs. No excuse to lose to this scrub ass team twice in one week.


No excuse to drop this game.


:lmao

[bklynspursfan]

For u to throw all that out the window as a wash because he had one turnover and one bad shot isn't fair to the young kid

He was a big part of our comeback, absolutely. You prop him up way too much tho and blame his shortcomings and decision making on Pop or anyone but Murray.

Tonight he was mostly good, and I'm glad. We needed some of those plays he made. It's the repeated things we see from him that get frustrating. Playing time or not, some things are kinda obvious

[sasaint]

Yes, you are right about his providing a spark and some plays when the team was otherwise very flat. A couple of lapses down the stretch shouldn't detract from his overall performance. :tu Kudos to Dijon.

[SpurPadre]

Bill Land acting like we just won the chip and didn't just squeak out a win against one of the worst teams in the NBA. :lol

Ugly dub even without Kawhi, TP, and Fathead but we gotta take it.

[raybies]

One thing I refuse to do is to beat someone down after a win. I want to rub people's nose sometimes, but dang man, it's so much better to be happy together. :toast

p.s. Spurfan, don't lose faith. It's a long year and we have a good team. There will be ups and downs, but the goal is to be playing the best ball come playoff time.

[BatManu20]

I think it was 13-0.. wild nonetheless tho. Good stuff

You're right.

You're right.
we had no business winning that game. They had so many different players contribute.

Holy shit talk about pulling a dub out of your ass. I'll take it though. :lol

Vince Carter matched his 11 last season too in just part of the year (turned 40 in late January). Both super impressive

[rasuo214]

Pop didn't play Pau, the Spurs made a comeback. Who knew...

[sasaint]

Wow, speaks volumes to his consistency this year. And he made a big shot in the clutch. good signs indeed.

To me it speaks more about the respective supporting casts of those 3. No Tony, no Kawhi...

[Robz4000]

Holy shit talk about pulling a dub out of your ass. I'll take it though. :lol

[SAGirl]

Really Pop? Hilliard?
Frankly I wonder why Hilliard got time and White didn’t...

Thanks for the recap Batmanu. Also, the thread definitely broke the 2 game losing streak and this wasn’t a sure thing at all. :bobo

[spurs10]

Missed the game but...:flag: victory. It was a shocker! Bertans closed with Forbes, Murray, LA, and that badm#¥! 'Shut your mouth!' 'I'm only talkin 'bout Manu!' (cue Shaft theme song!)

Manu admitting he's getting too old for this....

[SAGirl]

942243466733604864
Yes. That's evident. It's good to hear it from someone on the inside. Until they are all healthy and with no minutes restrictions or injury management limitations it's going to look really inconsistent, uneven, and even unpredictable what style is going to help them win.

[hater]

Miss MVPKyle imo

That Manu quote was basically what I was trying to explain to the meltdowners. Maybe they'll understand now that someone on the Spurs said it.

[hater]

Surprised Manu’s game wasn’t Ditka thread bump worthy TBH

Manus was mas o menos

But his inbound ball denial at the end was masterful

Anyone got a replay of it? That was sick

He turned Wesley Mathews into Wesleyito Ginobili Jr

[Leetonidas]

Frankly I wonder why Hilliard got time and White didn’t...

I was thinking that too. The brief team we've seen white he has shown some ability to get to the basket. And with Tony being out and Murray being in foul trouble i figured he would have given him some spot time to give mills a break but no...don't get it tbh

It wasn't a 5 second call. It was Barrea running to the corner instead of the backcourt, causing hesitation by Matthews. And then, Matthews being too stupid to get out of the way of the deflection.

[tonight...you]

Wes had a panic attack, for sure. Manu has helped create such chaos before on such plays more than once.

[Seventyniner]

Thank god we don't have to play the Mavs any more.
