Had the pleasure of meeting and shooting hoops with him for a few hours at an event here in Los Angeles a few months ago. The coolest dude I've ever met tbh. And he told me he's a Spurs fan these days. Hope he's alright.

[NASpurs]

Long Dick Bryn with 31 points in his last 2 games and he's not done yet

:wow

manu stands alone now, piling up empty stats while "wowing" the "fans"

[Robz4000]

Fucking freethrow shooting is still this team's elephant in the room.

Mexican Minnesota Kevin Love tbh

[BatManu20]

Make your damn FT's

[Mikeanaro]

He's mexican
Born in the Mexican Kentucky, Quentuqui.

[Robz4000]

He can score in a variety of ways. He used to be just a 3 pt shooter. Nowadays I trust him with that runner much more than I do Patty. has to be tested in the playoffs though and likely will.

True, that's nice to see. However, if he can't at least be a 38% 3-point shooter while hitting his freebies he won't be helping the team come postseason time.

[bklynspursfan]

He's been shooting below 30% the last month.

He's at 38% since December 1st (?)

:lmao

[bklynspursfan]

Welp, I stand corrected.

I mean he's got that icy hot thing going at times, it probly seems worse than it is, but overall he's been solid. Those FTs tho...

[Thunder1]

Joffrey made a FT, thankfully..

[Robz4000]

Bertans can't box out or rebound that well, but his length really helps on D.

[Robz4000]

Troy Daniels trying to bring Phoenix back.

[Mikeanaro]

MVPorker with the 100 points.

[TheGreatYacht]

Feels good to hold opposing SG's under their scoring average once again. Wonder what changed?

[Ron Swanson]

Some heads up shit by BP3.

[Thunder1]

Hopefully, BP improves his offensive game over time...

VICTORY...

[BatManu20]

13 straight home wins for the good guys. Game ball goes to Manu tonight. Kawhi played well too.

[wildbill2u]

Manu broke their back at the end of the 3rd.

Manu broke their back at the end of the 3rd.

How do you win a game by 14 points and your leading scorer is the only net-negative player on the team?

[NASpurs]

Manu broke their back at the end of the 3rd.

He's been breaking the Suns' back for 15 years already.

#Heroball

Spurs literally ended the game when he was on the bench lmao

[Chinook]

Booker scored nine points on 27-percent shooting last time. Dunno what would feel good about 21 points on 47.

[Splits]

If only he wouldn't have broken Dirk's wrist in '06 or 8 Heat fans noses in '13, Timmy would have 7 chips

Pretty much but here we are today and 5 rings later.

Also, so this happened in Milwaukee (where the Raps also took a dump on the Bucks)

Most people boo when a dog takes a shit on the court. But not Mexican dogs I guess...

I'll be sleeping better than I did after the Philly game, tbh.

Spurs would be pretty good if they had anyone who could hit open 3s.

[BatManu20]

Excellent.

I was just thinking this has to be signaling the demise of Joff... kinda feel sorry for him at this point but he doesn't belong in an NBA team the way he's looked.

All the more reason for us ti draft a big in June.

https://www.poundingtherock.com/2018/1/6/16857070/what-we-learned-san-antonio-spurs-win-phoenix-suns

Can somebody please scour this article for me..this writer has lost his dang mind.
how can somebody write about the spurs with no mention of the spurs mvp/allstar Kyle Anderson.
Does he not see all those stats Kyle puts up in his 30 minutes?
No mention of his block? rebounds? assists? Nada??
What am I missing here..
aside from MvpKyle.

[vander]

^ You've been posting a lot about kyle lately. You're not becoming obsessed are you?

[LittleCriminal]

Joff 16 min 3pts 6reb 1ast
Kyle 27 min 4pts 5reb 2ast

99% of us see the real signaling of the demise...

[LittleCriminal]

^ You've been posting a lot about kyle lately. You're not becoming obsessed are you?

I do it and its an obsession? SAHURLs been doing it forever and I'm obsessed? lol

Anyway, Kyle Anderson Is my new favorite player of all time.. better than Duncan,DRob and Will Perdue in my books..
so nope.. I'm not obsessed.

[TD 21]

Bertans can't box out or rebound that well, but his length really helps on D.

What length? He's a 6'10'' guy, with a 6'10.25'' wingspan. To his credit, he's improved his defensive rebound percentage from a pathetic 10.4% to a more manageable 16.2%.

I noticed in this game he's not deferring rebounds to Murray. At least a couple of rebounds he grabbed were over Spurs guards heads and hands. Contested rebounds with him still don't pass the eye test, but as you said, he brings in a lot offensively.
