Game Thread: Spurs @ Suns -- Wed. (2/7) - 9:30/C (5:30am Riga Time)

[BatManu20]

First game of the Rodeo Road Trip tonight as we're in PHX to take on an 18-37 Suns team that have lost 8 out of their last 9 and 11 of their last 13. Rudy and Kawhi are Out. No reason we shouldn't beat this team comfortably tonight. Let's get it.

Spurs always seem to lose at least one game to Phoenix every season. Since this is the last one and they haven't yet it's prolly a loss.

:lol And it's on the road, too. On the plus side, it's ESPN instead of TNT, Suns played last night and Booker is not expected to play. Considering Spurs' injury luck, don't rule out a miraculous recovery though.

[phxspurfan]

Why is Kawhi still on the roster...I'm tired of seeing him on every injury report

[gambit1990]

the suns played great the next game even without everyone who got suspended for getting off the bench. until the spurs took over.

[BatManu20]

It's official. Spurs standing pat. Tony says so.

We didn't sign Lebron last season, now we only have a 98% chance to win the title this year.

[phxspurfan]

Booker likely out.


961347951590129664

Damn, I wanted to see him play against us at least once. I was at the last game in Phx (where Booker sat and Forbes beat them with the game winning 3)

[BatManu20]

Anybody think the Cavs beat the T-Wolves at home tonight?

[cd98]

Picture is ominous ... hope Lamarcus stays free of the Team Lebron curse!!!

Lebron out there playing 4D Chess. Taking out his best competition by picking them for the ASG.

NOW we know why he chose KD, Kyrie, and Westbrook.

[MoSpur02]

Does anyone if Kawhi traveled with the team? For those who have gone to home games recently...has Kawhi been out there pre-game working out/shooting?

[bklynspursfan]

Last I saw front Michael C Wright, he didn't see Kawhi there. Gay is there and participated in shoot around. Maybe Kawhi is there but he wasn't at shoot around

[MoSpur02]

Just read that same tweet from Michael C Wright. Thanks though. Interesting IF he didn’t travel with the team.

[BatManu20]

Whoa. Andre Drummond has 25 Rbs through 3 qtrs.

No Booker or Tyson Chandler for PHX tonight. If the Spurs don't win this one, they should just discontinue the franchise.

LMA better go off against this depleted front court.

Spurs will lose this. Hopefully then, all you homer fans will finally see how trash this team really is.

Fuck...Cavs game going OT. They better fucking show the game on espn2

Probably better for ESPN tbh, nobody wants to watch two trash ass teams play at 9:30.

OMG Bron

[Ron Swanson]

LeBron cash money to end it.

[spurs10]

Incredible ending to Cavs/ T-Pups!

[DPG21920]

Lebron is incredible

[spurs10]

Those uniforms made me think I had the wrong game!

[Ron Swanson]

LMA over Ulis :lol

[DPG21920]

Defense looks solid to start, but offense still so clunky. Lot’s of meaningless fluff in the offense right now. Very little purpose in any thing that is happening (dribbling passing or cutting)

[spurs10]

Lebron is incredible That block and shot were incredible indeed!

[TheDoctor]

Weird camera view for this game.

[SpurPadre]

Lebron is incredible

MJ was 100 times better, tbh.

[Chris]

Baby carriage :lol gotta love Sean

[DAF86]

Is it just me or does the unis (which I thought were awful) don't look that bad on action?

[tholdren]

Lebron is incredible

Hes a dumbass. Look at how he won the game. Yes he will shoot a 35 foot fadeaway 9 out of 10 times to try and win

[TheDoctor]

"Tune In and watch the Struggling Spurs...." :pctoss

[SpurPadre]

I'm calling Spurs vs. Dubs on Saturday: Dubs 145 Spurs 86, tbh.

[urunobili]

Do they sell a Manu version of this jersey anywhere?

[ace3g]

Danny "MIP" Green

[tholdren]

Murray so stupid

[SpurPadre]

Good job on the glass, Davis!

[BatManu20]

Spurs on a nice 16-2 run to start the game :lol

[ace3g]

small sample size but Bertans seems to be putting in more effort for rebounds lately.

[bklynspursfan]

Suns fans still boo Manu lmao. We wrecked this franchise

[Ron Swanson]

LDN sighting

[BatManu20]

Danny on fire to start the game.

[Ron Swanson]

Suns fans still boo Manu lmao. We wrecked this franchise

Horry did his part, too.

[DPG21920]

Ball is moving around better after a really stagnant start. Defense is focused which is great even though PHX has no scorers

[ducks]

This is spurs basketball

[tholdren]

No kl no murray... ball moves

Only against shit teams per par.

Warriors gonna win by 50+ on Saturday.

[Robz4000]

This is spurs basketball

[SpurPadre]

You could start Paul, Joffrey and Hilliard and we should still beat this team, tbh.

[DAF86]

Are the Suns the worst team on the league? Why the fuck are they on a nationally televised game?

[vander]

that Chriss guy doesn't look like he cares at all

[Darius Bieber]

Lmao posters thinking the Spurs are good and looking like the old Spurs teams... This is against Phoenix. This Spurs team is still trash.

[Keepin' it real]

Playoff atmosphere.

[Ron Swanson]

Are the Suns the worst team on the league? Why the fuck are they on a nationally televised game?

Wednesday night is usually a double-header for ESPN, and there are no other games on right now.

[ducks]

Better playing like this then barley beating them

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs are closer to missing the playoffs than overtaking Houston :lmao

[ElNono]

This is not even a scrimmage... this is like tholdren and his buddies playing against an NBA team...

[Ron Swanson]

50 Mills gonna let Phoenix back in this.

[BatManu20]

Ugh Patty you suck

[Darius Bieber]

Mills is even trash against Phoenix :lmao

[SpurPadre]

WTF Patty, lol

They are ugly. Me no likely :td

yeah any team could look good against the worst defensive team in the league without their star player.

[tholdren]

This is not even a scrimmage... this is like tholdren and his buddies playing against an NBA team...

Im better than mills and murray

[$pursDynasty]

Announcer said Tony but that was Patty f'n up

[TheDoctor]

50Mills :lol

[DPG21920]

There is no reason why Mills should ever handle the ball, especially in a PnR when you have Murray/TP/Manu on the team.

[Darius Bieber]

God wtf lineup is this? Holy shit. Phoenix is gonna come back.

[DPG21920]

Thats what Mills can do. That’s it. Let him work off curls and screens and shoot.

[objective]

Mills :lol:

"But but but it's a good deal!"

[Ron Swanson]

That shot by Patty :lol

[Dverde]

This feels more like a Silver Stars game

[DPG21920]

:lmao Mills

[BatManu20]

#TradePattyPlease

[ace3g]

Pop with his patent "hold my drink" while I mess up the momentum.

[Darius Bieber]

:lmao Phoenix practically giving the Spurs the ball and the Spurs are still trash

[Dverde]

Minus a Patty handing them 2 points...Suns scored 7 points

[SpurPadre]

Mills should make Shactin a fool for that turnover, tbh.

[sananspursfan21]

Good to see they can still beat down the G-League 2nd unit :lol

[ducks]

Lol9 points suns

[Dverde]

I think I am going to watch Maze Runner on FX...adios

[TheDoctor]

Maintenance team must take a look at the Spurs' backboard for any crack or break after that 50Mills brick tbh

[ace3g]

961443036742979585

[objective]

Mills is going to be here for 3 more years, clogging up minutes to justify his crap deal

I'm still confused how anyone who watched the team thought it was a good idea to bring him back at $50 trills

[bklynspursfan]

Doris making up with Pop 0_0

[phxspurfan]

Mills makes a shot!!

[Chris]

Manu 3

[BatManu20]

Lol Jeezus Kyle...

[tholdren]

Murray 8pts on 8 shots.

[TheDoctor]

DJM making a jumpshot :wow

[DAF86]

Great job getting there. Horrible job finishing. Murray.

[phxspurfan]

spurs r fresh as a daisy

[DAF86]

Davis is such a great passer.

[TheDoctor]

DJM making a jumpshot :wow

And missing a point blank layup. The polarities :lol

[DPG21920]

This is just what SA needed to build confidence.

[SAGirl]

Nice pass Davis
Danny on fire

[sananspursfan21]

Probably due to this season and all of its goodness, I still don't feel like this game is secure :hat

[BatManu20]

Pau has been the worst player on the floor for us so far tonight.

[Ron Swanson]

Dijon :wow

[SAGirl]

Dejounte having a great game!!!!

[SpurPadre]

This is exactly what the Dubs will do to us, except they won't commit the same dumb fuck turnover Mills had in the 1st quarter.

[BatManu20]

Love Murray's aggressiveness.

[DPG21920]

Josh Jackson wowsa

[bklynspursfan]

This is exactly what the Dubs will do to us, except they won't commit the same dumb fuck turnover Mills had in the 1st quarter.

They commit dumb fuck turnovers all the time tho.....

[TheDoctor]

LMAOOOOO wtffffff

[daslicer]

This is exactly what the Dubs will do to us, except they won't commit the same dumb fuck turnover Mills had in the 1st quarter.

Can we go one night without Warrior dicksucking from you.

[Robz4000]

Suns have picked up the intensity a bit. If the Spurs don't match it this will turn into a game.

[SpurPadre]

They commit dumb fuck turnovers all the time tho.....

Usually they do...but they'll want to make an example of us after they got anally raped by the Thunder, tbh.

[MultiTroll]

Fathead didn't want to have the missed shot so he makes the balloon past to LMA. :lol

LMA still looks clueless when he is doubled.

[MoSpur02]

Forbes is worthless if he’s not hitting threes.

[BatManu20]

Whoa. Another Guard.

[bklynspursfan]

Yea I don't doubt that (btw good thing they play the Mavs tomorrow to unleash some of that on)

But regardless, if there's one negative about the Warriors, you can always count on careless turnovers

[MoSpur02]

Avery Bradley to the spurs would be great depending on who they are sending.

[Robz4000]

FUCK

[BatManu20]

Shit Murray just got hurt

[SAGirl]

Murray is having a great game. I hope he isn’t hurt.... damn

Spurs season in a nutshell. He’s been the most aggressive getting to the rim I have seen him.

[ducks]

Damm it

[Darius Bieber]

Why can't this shit happen to Curry/KD/Klay/Draymond? Only happens to good guys like Gordon, Kristaps, Boogie...

[ducks]

Fuck

[bklynspursfan]

Ouch

[lefty20]

not even going to the locker room after all that drama?

[DAF86]

Fuck this season, tbh.

If that was Kawai he would be in the hospital by now

[TheDoctor]

[200 miles]

Well tholdren you got your wish. Now you can put your bitching to rest

[007nites]

not even going to the locker room after all that drama?

Probably hurt pretty bad but doesn't want to lose that starting spot. Can't blame him.

[bklynspursfan]

Looks like his ankle just twisted. As long as it isn't a high ankle, he should be good. Thank goodness

[SAGirl]

Doesn’t look serious.. ankle sprain

[MoSpur02]

Twisted his ankle. He’s young so hopefully it’s not too serious.

[Robz4000]

Thank God it wasn't more serious.

[phxspurfan]

Murray will be alright.

welcome back Tony

[KDKSpurs24]

Hopefully it’s not serious. And hopefully he doesn’t miss many games.

[Budkin]

Seems like he's ok?

[daslicer]

Tank time

The problem is we can't fucking tank. The record is too good to tank. Even if the Spurs tried they still probably wouldn't end up in the lottery.

[hater]

Hes a kid. Hell be back

[bklynspursfan]

Did Murray shot the free throw?

Yea. Maybe he'll be back

[ace3g]

I think Dejounte got distracted by the Avery news...

[Ron Swanson]

Yea. Maybe he'll be back

I don't think he'll be back tonight.

[hater]

I think Dejounte got distracted by the Avery news...

What news?

[vander]

Bertans is like a 35% 3 point shooter now

[SAGirl]

Patented Tony scoop

[DAF86]

Bertans is doing everything right but shooting threes.

[DPG21920]

Please trade Mills for Bradley. Please trade Mills for Bradley.

[tholdren]

Well tholdren you got your wish. Now you can put your bitching to rest

There are only a select few i wish injury upon. Murray nit one. He blows but it should be his trash play that ends his night, not an injury. Had he ever lifted a weight this may not have happened

[Budkin]

What news?

Spurs looking to trade for Avery Bradley.

[TheDoctor]

:lma

[Ron Swanson]

50 Mills 3 and 1

[DAF86]

Please trade Mills for Bradley. Please trade Mills for Bradley.

Why would the Clippers want Patty?

[Ron Swanson]

Boban comes back with the Bradley trade.

[z0stix]

That part of the floor is cursed, isn't same area Canon got hurt?

[tholdren]

Why would the Clippers want Patty?

Why would spurs want bradley

[007nites]

lmfao this is funny

[Ron Swanson]

Murray's out for the rest of the game.

[bklynspursfan]

22 points for Phoenix this quarter smh. Defense has to pick up

[MVPCues]

Man Phoenix looking like an expansion team that just put together a group of guys.

[DAF86]

Why would spurs want bradley

Well rounded player on an expiring contract.

[DAF86]

This is shameful.

[phxspurfan]

Spurs putting up 70 in the half. Phoenix can't play any D

[Darius Bieber]

Warriors would be up 60+ on these Suns tbh

[phxspurfan]

Well rounded player on an expiring contract.

Yes, a true bargain. Finals hero. Please, have him. We really think you're getting a steal here

[vander]

Hopefully that rookie PG will get a lot of playing time in the 2nd half

[Ron Swanson]

I know it's the Suns, but we've had too many shit shows lately. I'm enjoying this one.

[tholdren]

Well rounded player on an expiring contract.

Spurs have no assets

[illusioNtEk]

anybody notice beckys butt slap on LMA lol

[SpurPadre]

Well, if nothing else, it's good to curbstomp a team like this before facing the best team in the league on the road, tbh.

[ducks]

Manu sucks
Spurs up 36 why play him he could get hurt

[daslicer]

Warriors would be up 60+ on these Suns tbh

Obvious a troll whose pissed off the Spurs are winning by a lot. I guess you'll have to wait until Saturday to go into your lame troll shtick when the Spurs lose.

[Darius Bieber]

anybody notice beckys butt slap on LMA lol

She's probably getting railed by half the team tbh

[objective]

Spurs looking to trade for Avery Bradley.

I thought something had happened to Avery Johnson,
