[BatManu20]

Back at tonight as we host a 12-20 Brooklyn team that have lost 5 of their last 6. Kawhi and Danny are both expected to play. No reason not to win this one at home. Let's get it.

Fifteen game home win streak against the Nets. But those type of stats speak more to a team sucking than anything else, imo.

I was worried about whether he'd have a front row seat for the action, too. That's a load off my mind.

[gospursgojas]

Can someone post that gif of Tony glaring at Danny Green the last time they lost to the Nets?

[Chinook]

Can someone post that gif of Tony glaring at Danny Green the last time they lost to the Nets?

Which of course was idiotic because the Spurs got the ball back due to Green's play.

[gospursgojas]

Nice memory. If im not mistaken it was Manu's fault we lost. He dribbled dribbled dribbled and chucked and end of game.

[tbdog]

It was that Green fouled when Pop said not too that got the TP look of death.

LOL no shat right..

Be nice if Pop would stop being a faggot and let Kawhi play 25+ minutes

[weeks]

Be nice if Pop would stop being a faggot and let Kawhi play 25+ minutes

considering he had unexpected soreness last time he played, i highly doubt it

[hater]

Pop will play green 40 while kawhi will play 5 minites

[TheDoctor]

Pop will play green, kyle & manu 40 while kawhi will play 5 minites

I agree plus :flag:

Klaw looks like he has a spring in his step.. then again, it is the shootaround.

[pgardn]

Watching spurs pregame.

Matt Bonner is a good dude. Good sport and embraces making fun of himself.
Mother Ginger in the Ballet. Good stuff.

[TheDoctor]

DJQUAKE gotta be in here tbh

[TheDoctor]

Kawhi bricking shots :pctoss

[spurs10]

Good to see in the pre-game show Matt performed a ballet performance of The Nutcracker at the Tobin Center. Ouch!

[spurs10]

Yeah Mother Ginger while eating a sandwich! :lol

Kawhi!!

Kawhi on the court and LMA loses his aggressiveness wtf

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi :wow

[r0drig0lac]

wow onfire

[SupremeGuy]

Kawhi taking a shit on the non-believers. :lol

[weeks]

kawhi looking real good so far

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi on the court and LMA loses his aggressiveness wtf

That was the first time (I think) LMA got the ball in a spot where he can work, he may have touched it 1 other time. It lead to a double and kick out to Kawhi. It'll be a process, but they'll need to keep feeding him at times

[SupremeGuy]

Pop spouting off his communist bullshit again :rolleyes

945807078026825728What's his net worth? How much has he donated? He knows he's free to donate as much as he wants right?

[NASpurs]

This new guy wearing #2 is pretty good. G-League call-up?

[TheDoctor]

Kids Cam tons better than that kiss cam shit tbh

[ducks]

Well said Pop :tu

Because the rich earned it they should decide what to do with it!
If the owner of the Spurs gave it all away pop you would not have a job!

No, he wasn't even fighting for rebounds vs small forwards.

[ducks]

What's his net worth? How much has he donated? He knows he's free to donate as much as he wants right?

Let’s look at his tax return and see if he gave 1 percent to charities
I doubt it

[ducks]

Do poor people hire anyone
No because they are poor
If rich people gave it all away how would anyone job that pays money

[Spurtacular]

That double screen by the Nets was so easy to defend if just one person would've stepped up. It's all about stopping the shot. There was no secondary play built into that sh** probably.

[NASpurs]

Speaking of new guys, Rudy Gay wearing that headband caught me off guard. I actually thought that he was a new player for a millisecond.

[FkLA]

That was the first time (I think) LMA got the ball in a spot where he can work, he may have touched it 1 other time. It lead to a double and kick out to Kawhi. It'll be a process, but they'll need to keep feeding him at times

Yeah, they need to feed him. It's like when Kawhi is out there the role players want to get their shots in bc Kawhi is high usage and thus completely go away from making sure LMA is involved.

[TheDoctor]

Kawhi out and all of a sudden LMA can rebound. GTFO

[BanditHiro]

Yeah, they need to feed him. It's like when Kawhi is out there the role players want to get their shots in bc Kawhi is high usage and thus completely go away from making sure LMA is involved.

super obvious with Parker.

[Robz4000]

Offense has been nauseating thus far. Defense has also been bailed out by Brooklyn missing good looks.

[Ron Swanson]

GOAT in attendance

RC is behind him eating a sandwich. :lol

[NASpurs]

Timmy sighting :wow

[FkLA]

The fuck is Joto wearing? :lol

[I. Hustle]

This new guy wearing #2 is pretty good. G-League call-up?

Nah, Fam. I think that's Garrett Temple.

[Spurtacular]

The Gay signing was a steal; but I still don't get why people here are so ridiculously high on the guy (at this point).

[bklynspursfan]

Nice cut by Patty and dish from Pau

[spurs10]

Iso ball!

[Leetonidas]

Headband Rudy no bueno

[bklynspursfan]

The Gay signing was a steal; but I still don't get why people here are so ridiculously high on the guy (at this point).

A guy who can get his own shot and has great length. If Kawhi/LMA are struggling, he's a guy who can score a bunch of points in a hurry and get hot quick.

[$pursDynasty]

Rudy showing his inner Sacramento Kings

[bklynspursfan]

Manu with some strong defense on that possession

[$pursDynasty]

This lineup no bueno

[Spurtacular]

A guy who can get his own shot and has great length. If Kawhi/LMA are struggling, he's a guy who can score a bunch of points in a hurry and get hot quick.

Agreed. But most nights he's just a guy who is bricking shots and a step slow.

[TheDoctor]

50Mills bricking shots, nothing new to see here.

[TheDoctor]

Who's that guy?? RC you know what you gotta do.

[bklynspursfan]

Agreed. But most nights he's just a guy who is bricking shots and a step slow.

He's def been off. I like him much better in the post personally, he seems like a strong dude and gets great position

[NASpurs]

Fucking Lauvergne

[TheGreatYacht]

Remember when the bench used to be able to score earlier in the season? Wonder what changed/who came back....

[NASpurs]

LDN :wow :wow

[TheDoctor]

Joff Ayres tbh

[Ron Swanson]

Oh shit, Danny.

[bklynspursfan]

LDN! Nice pass from Bertans there

[Spurtacular]

Rudy showing his inner Sacramento Kings

He's worse than LMA at needing to get his stats, tbh.

[TheDoctor]

LDN :wow :wow

There goes his groin again

[Spurtacular]

Bertans has better court vision than Kawhi or Parker, tbh.

[NASpurs]

There goes his groin again

His girlfriend probably massaged it before the game so he's good to go.

[Chinook]

Stupid ass rotation. Joff shouldn't be playing with a healthy rotation.

[TheGreatYacht]

Bertans has better court vision than Kawhi or Parker, tbh.
Doesn't have superior genes like them though....

[weeks]

awesome move by danny, but man i was nervous the whole time

[r0drig0lac]

great play by Kyle

[Stabula]

Just tuning in. Does Kawhi look like shit?

[NASpurs]

Kawhi :wow

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi!

[r0drig0lac]

#2...

[NASpurs]

Parker go sit down.

[DAF86]

Just tuning in. Does Kawhi look like shit?

Does that answer your question?

[pgardn]

Just tuning in. Does Kawhi look like shit?

Allstar level shit.

[weeks]

what a ferocious dunk by kawhi

[NASpurs]

Of course that trash shot went in.

[Spurtacular]

Doesn't have superior genes like them though....

He's not on Leonard's high functioning autism level?

[Ron Swanson]

Just tuning in. Does Kawhi look like shit?

Yes. Traded or released by the weekend.

[Spurtacular]

That'd have been an awesome Manu highlight back in the day.

[BanditHiro]

game over

[SAGirl]

Microcombo alert

[Robz4000]

:lmao Pop's "coaching"

[ElNono]

Fuck this fluke shooting

[bklynspursfan]

Murray should've taken that corner 3

[bklynspursfan]

game over

:lol

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Murray can't shoot at all, he literally shoots like a player from the 1950s with 1 hand.

[NASpurs]

Fuck this fluke shooting

Not Brooklyn's fault the Spurs suck ass. :lol

The Nets have been beyond trash all night long (well outside the past 5 minutes or so) but have been close because the Spurs are just going through the motions. This game should had been out of reach already.

[Robz4000]

Spurs really had something going with that Parker/Green/Kawhi/Fathead/LMA rotation, then he beniches it in favor of microball and the Nets seize momentum.

[TheGreatYacht]

He's not on Leonard's high functioning autism level?
Bertans :lol

Inferior specimen :lol

Aside from being small everywhere (shoulders, fingers, arm length,....) he's also stupid as shit.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs will take care of business in the 2nd half.

[bklynspursfan]

Spurs will take care of business in the 2nd half.

No doubt.

[r0drig0lac]

Klaw is back

[weeks]

gay ditched that headband with the quickness :lol

[Ron Swanson]

Hopefully Pop will play Kawhi in the 2nd half.

[weeks]

damn, kawhi with 14 in 13 minutes

unreal

[FkLA]

Kawhi looks like a shade of himself on defense, tbh.

[bklynspursfan]

Great fast break execution

[Ron Swanson]

Pau got roasted by Dinwiddie

[TheDoctor]

Pau w/ his usual Ray Lewis' growl

[NASpurs]

gay ditched that headband with the quickness :lol

:lol

[TheDoctor]

Thank you 50Mills

[bklynspursfan]

No good

[Ron Swanson]

Manu was calling for the buzzer brick but Patty didn't see him.

[ElNono]

:lmao Fatty

[DAF86]

Kawhi looks like a shade of himself on defense, tbh.

Defense is 90% effort. I don't fault him for not giving his all on that end yet.

[Robz4000]

Kawhi looks like a shade of himself on defense, tbh.

Actually pretty happy with his defense, just some missed rotations. He forced at least three turnovers that half.

[spurs10]

Dude didn't get the shot off in time.

[SAGirl]

Kawhi back to himself is great! Is he playing normal rotation minutes tonight?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

I look at kawhi play and I just don't see the speed he had last year

[spurs10]

Kawhi back to himself is great! Is he playing normal rotation minutes tonight? Hopefully close to it!

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi is playing in the 2nd half, so Pop will probably hold him out on Thursday.

[BanditHiro]

that was a foul on Forbes

[TheDoctor]

lmao Kobe Leonard?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Kawhi has no lift on his jumpers

[Splits]

we're getting owned by a nigga named Dinwiddie

[sasaint]

Just tuned in to the game. With all the gushing over Kawhi, I expected the Spurs to be way up. Wow, was I mistaken. The JV is hanging with the Varsity... Looks like the Spurs are lax brick layers tonight.

[Robz4000]

Kawhi has no lift on his jumpers

He really doesn't tbh, but that could be the result of fatigue.

[Spurtacular]

Bertans :lol

Inferior specimen :lol

Aside from being small everywhere (shoulders, fingers, arm length,....) he's also stupid as shit.

Who hurt you, bro?

[Chinook]

lmao Kobe Leonard?

"Kawhi's back to his midseason form... And on a completely unrelated note, there is no ball movement."

[sasaint]

we're getting owned by a nigga named Dinwiddie

Wasn't he drafted by the Spurs? HaHa...

[pgardn]

KL over dribbling.

No offensive consistency.
We are still a disheveled group when KL enters.
No identity with LMA and KL. Thankfully we got time to figure it out.

[TheDoctor]

I look at kawhi play and I just don't see the speed he had last year
His arms still look thick and bulky meaning he hasn't regained his full game condition.

[TheGreatYacht]

We're one Danny Green leg break away from contending tbh

[TheDoctor]

He really doesn't tbh, but that could be the result of fatigue.

It is.

[SAGirl]

Just tuned in to the game. With all the gushing over Kawhi, I expected the Spurs to be way up. Wow, was I mistaken. The JV is hanging with the Varsity... Looks like the Spurs are lax brick layers tonight.
Pop has played microcombo lineups and has messed up rotations a bunch but that isn’t entirely it.

[TheGreatYacht]

Can't believe we went on a run without Mr. Irreplaceable

[Ron Swanson]

Wasn't he drafted by the Spurs? HaHa...

Pistons

[Robz4000]

It is.

In the doctor I trust :tu

[Spurtacular]

This the scrubbiest team we've played this season?

[weeks]

i really have enormous confidence in pau's 3 point shot

[Spurtacular]

We're one Danny Green leg break away from contending tbh

Found yourself a new target, post-Kawhi? :lmao

[weeks]

wow, timmy and okafor do really have the same nose

[TheGreatYacht]

Found yourself a new target, post-Kawhi? :lmao
Butthurt I exposed your new fluff toy, post-Jimmer :lmao

Kawhi looked pretty good there.

[NASpurs]

Some white guy just blew by Kawhi.

[weeks]

gd kawhi!

[ElNono]

Kiwi towering over niglets

[sasaint]

Pistons

Spent some time with the Spurs in SL or training camp? I swear I thought he was a Spur discard.

[Spurtacular]

Kawhi at 23 minutes. Pop better shut him down.

[sasaint]

Wow missed rotatio on D!

[ElNono]

The replay of that slomo layup is 3 mins long

Christmas day hangover. Just took em a half to get into the swing of things

[sasaint]

Kawhi at 23 minutes. Pop better shut him down.

Don't need him. Pau going for the B2B triple double.

[FkLA]

LMA shooting technicals instead of Kawhi. Interadsting.

[SAGirl]

Gasol another great outing so far

[sasaint]

Has Okafor even played? Why did Brooklyn even trade for Okafor when they have Allen?

[Spurtacular]

Don't need him. Pau going for the B2B triple double.

He's only at 3 assists.

[Robz4000]

Spurs are allergic to big leads.

LMA shooting technicals instead of Kawhi. Interadsting.
He has been the leader this season it has to be said.

[Spurtacular]

Good cheating by Pau.

[NASpurs]

Some home-cooking on that last non-call.

[ElNono]

Great quarter, tbh

[Ron Swanson]

Has Okafor even played? Why did Brooklyn even trade for Okafor when they have Allen?

No, he has not played tonight.

[ElNono]

Time to get it up to 20, so TP can come back in

[pgardn]

F'N Ginobili can still get to the rim.

A 40 yo ball in hand for the last shot.
Its still amazing. His ankles were supposed to be shot in his younger days...

He is one of those superior athletes.
40..... How?

[Ron Swanson]

MVPelon :cry

[TheGreatYacht]

Racist Nets getting what they deserve.

Trading for both Okafor and Stauskas, yet only one of them has gotten the thumbs up to suit up because they "learned the system". Starting that scrub Zeller over the superior specimen Allen smh.

[SAGirl]

Has Okafor even played? Why did Brooklyn even trade for Okafor when they have Allen?
I have seen that allegedly he wasn’t in playing game condition and unable to play the pace Brooklyn wants. Other than that no idea.

[Spurtacular]

LMA shooting technicals instead of Kawhi. Interadsting.

Pre-decided.

[Ron Swanson]

Grandpa Juice t-shirt. :lmao

[Spurtacular]

Parker not on the bench. He must've went back to the locker room to have a cry.

[weeks]

what the hell got into manu??
i love it

[ElNono]

Manu on warrior level

[TheGreatYacht]

Parker not on the bench. He must've went back to the locker room to have a cry.
He's on the scorer's table, Mormon.

40..... How?

Jesus...

He just will not stop.
Even when he is bad.
He will not die and he will never be forgotten in this city.

[hater]

Manu doing coca hes angood customqrr :tu

[hater]

Manu literally going maradroga on niggas :lmao

[Splits]

Is this Manu's best season since he gave away the 2006 WCFs or since he 8'd us out of '13?

[sasaint]

I have seen that allegedly he wasn’t in playing game condition and unable to play the pace Brooklyn wants. Other than that no idea.

Dude is gonna be in China next year...

He won us a championship in 2014, tbh

[Spurtacular]

Parker gonna get some good stat stuffing.

[weeks]

typical enrique, frontrunning as usual

[sasaint]

Easiest steal of Danny's career.

[ElNono]

:lmao Porker

:lmao Nyets

[TheDoctor]

Saw Gay on the floor and my heart skipped a beat tbh. Oof.

[sasaint]

Letting the JV hang around. Smh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Trade anyone not named Kawhi, Parker, Aldridge, or Forbes for LeVert.

[Spurtacular]

Parker gonna get some good stat stuffing.

Gotta leave that three line open; can't have the stat stuffing stifled.

[ElNono]

Hopefully Manu doesn’t have to come back and win this game again

[Spurtacular]

Trade anyone not named Kawhi, Parker, Aldridge, or Forbes for LeVert.

LeVert?

[pgardn]

Is this Manu's best season since he gave away the 2006 WCFs or since he 8'd us out of '13?

Dont matter.

The guy is willing to take the blame. He can play with any group of players and find a role.
Giant ball(s), just like Timmy except he handles the ball more often. These players are so rare.
He does not care if he is old, he still knows he can contribute in some way and is willing to take the hate and failure that will happen.

Damn.
Im going all South American...

[ElNono]

Trade anyone not named Kawhi, Parker, Aldridge, or Forbes for LeVert.

El Niño Forbes has been pretty trashy lately

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi is coming back in.

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi coming back 0_o

[weeks]

kawhi reappearance??

[DAF86]

Daddy Yankee's Gasolina still banging in NBA courts in almost 2018 :lmao

When a song is a classic it sticks. Not a fan of reggaeton or that song in particular but you can't deny that song is a classic. It invented a whole new genre.

[NASpurs]

Kawhi's coming back in :wow

[dabom]

Someone get porker out.

[ElNono]

Bricking everything

[pgardn]

Good deal.

Would love to see KL take 3 people with him and dump off for an assist.

[bklynspursfan]

Beautiful execution out of the timeout

[TheGreatYacht]

Fatty aboriginal stat padding lmao

[ElNono]

smh having to bring Kawhi and Manu back in

[pgardn]

Great pass by Pau.

[$pursDynasty]

Ah the true Spurs team starting to take shape

[bklynspursfan]

Aldridge was like Kawhi not gonna come in and be the hero, let me knock down this bunny now

[ElNono]

Wow, offense so much fluid now...

[TheDoctor]

That LMA play was thanks to KL's gravity

[DAF86]

The Pau-LA high low has been the best news of the season so far.

[Ron Swanson]

Manu :wow

[NASpurs]

Holy shit Manu :wow :wow :wow

[bklynspursfan]

Dam Manu! :lol

Good thing someone took out porker.

[TheGreatYacht]

Old man wasting his 1 good out of 12 games on a lottery team as per usual

[TDomination]

Haha Manu even shocked himself

[Ron Swanson]

:claw

[bklynspursfan]

Never retire Manu

[NASpurs]

Kawhi with 21 points and 26 minutes. :tu

[sasaint]

LMA not going to be happy with Sean's pumping up Kawhi as The Man.

[Ron Swanson]

Manu's reaction on the replay :lol

I missed it and had to rewind to see it. :lmao

[$pursDynasty]

Safe to assume team back to regular Pop minutes ???
