Game Thread: Spurs @ Dubs -- Sat. (2/10) - 5:30 P/7:30 C (3:30am Riga)

[bklynspursfan]

I have noticed Warriors always get away with hacking when they turn up their defensive pressure.

Refs play right into the crowds hands. That's where I actually miss Joey Crawford in road atmosphere's like this. He didn't give a crap about the crowd

[TheGreatYacht]

McGee earning the minimum while an ostrich gets 48M :lmao

[r0drig0lac]

damn Danny

[Robz4000]

Fuck, Amused strikes again. RIP Green.

[ace3g]

Now Green hurt his hand!!!

[DPG21920]

That looked clean?

[SAGirl]

McGee is killing the Spurs and now Danny is hurt. that was a good block by Danny too, clean.

[BatManu20]

Nice effort Danny.

[TheGreatYacht]

How was that a foul? Btw :lmao

[pgardn]

Green is really good at timing blocks.

[SAGirl]

Man Gasol cannot play against them if he' snot going to do anything offensively to justify him being there.

[sananspursfan21]

Well, it was a valiant effort gentlemen

[sammy]

All calls against Spurs! Why am I not surprised! Idiot Forbes shoots instead of passing the ball! Awesome block by Danny! Not a foul, you blind sons of bitches! Hope Danny’s ok! Pinche Gasol! Soft bitch!

[BatManu20]

Pau Gasol... just go home dude. Absolutely worthless against GS.

[tholdren]

Lol gasol

[Darius Bieber]

God our team is so trash

[DAF86]

Fuck that shit.

[Robz4000]

Green definitely fucked up his hand. He keeps holding it and grimacing.

[SAGirl]

Fuck Bryn Forbes... he can't play against them.

[TheGreatYacht]

Typical Spurms-GSW game :lol

Warriors playing with their food because their roster is galaxies ahead

[KDKSpurs24]

Gasol is trash.

[UZER]

I have noticed Warriors always get away with hacking when they turn up their defensive pressure.

That's something Kerr learned from Phil. In the second half, usually late 3rd or 4th, just start grabbing and hacking on every play and the refs will start letting is go.

Phil's teams were always known for "turning up the defense" late in games. Especially the playoffs.

[tholdren]

Too bad pau is a flamer. Could use a tough slow big to end durants career

[sammy]

that was a bad fouled called on Kyle, Durant pushed him out of the way

That freaking ostrich Durant hooked Kyles arm should’ve been offensive foul on Durant! Warrior refs to the rescue!

[Chomag]

Going to get hate by the FO fluffers but I don't blame KL not being eager to come back on this roster.

[TDTPMG21920]

Forbes, Mills and fucking Gasol should never see the court against GS

[pgardn]

Welp

We are only down by 16.

Darius Bieber sees a comeback.
You can just feel his will to conquer.
Beebs, you are a true Spartan. There is no quitting, always think we can win.

[Quiet Strength]

Its not like the warriors need the refs to beat the spurs.. this shit is stupid. The spurs can lose by themselves. Let them play

[DarrinS]

God our team is so trash

Lol, our

[TimDunkem]

It's okay. Kawhi and Gay will be enough to cover up all the shit on this roster.

[Darius Bieber]

I hope all of you delusional idiots finally see why Kawhi doesn't want to come back and play for this shit show of a team.

Getting hate by FO fluffers is a badge of honor. It proves you're not homosexual

[boutons_deux]

Spurs go cold, gsw heats up, gameover

[daslicer]

That's something Kerr learned from Phil. In the second half, usually late 3rd or 4th, just start grabbing and hacking on every play and the refs will start letting is go.

Phil's teams were always known for "turning up the defense" late in games. Especially the playoffs.

Yup I agree. It's very predictable. I can always tell when they are going to get away with hacking. Warriors rely on 7-10 minute stretch whether its' in the third or fourth to get away with hacking to take control of the game.

[pgardn]

Fuck Bryn Forbes... he can't play against them.

Since when did you become a potty mouth ma'am?

[dabom]

Would have lost in the first quarter with porker. :lmao

[Chomag]

It's just a very poorly constructed team

[bklynspursfan]

Should've been a continuation for Forbes, but ok

[SAGirl]

they fought for 3 quarters and some guys showed some things.

[tholdren]

Getting hate by FO fluffers is a badge of honor. It proves you're not homosexual

Spurs just need a nasty player. Soft bigs let this one go

[tholdren]

It's just a very poorly constructed team

Go away

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs just need a nasty player. Soft bigs let this one go

Need Cousins tbh. He wouldn't let this shit go on.

[TheGreatYacht]

Would have lost in the first quarter with porker. :lmao
There you are ya fucking autist :lmao

Mills proving his shit stats against the Dubs last year weren't a fluke :lmao

[sammy]

Pop throwing in the towel! Scrubs are in!��

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs miss 10 shots in a row = game over. Amazing that they weren't blown out from the get-go.

[SAGirl]

Thomson statpadding in garbage time with no pressure.

[dabom]

Still no Kawhi? What were you expecting faggot? :lmao

[808]

Pop throwing in the towel! Scrubs are in!😡

scrubs were playing the whole game

[DPG21920]

They fought the entire time. Missed too many open shots, GS hit shots and got calls and that’s that. But they didn’t stop competing.

[ECOV]

happy to be a spurs fan today, go spurs go!!!:toast:toast:toast:toast:toast:toast:toast:to ast:lobt2::lobt2::lobt2::lobt2::lobt2:

[sammy]

I would so love to season ending injury on Durant, Draymond Green, Curry & Flat faced Thompson! We have scrubs & they still have starters in the game!

[SAGirl]

Kyle had a career game...

[tholdren]

They fought the entire time. Missed too many open shots, GS hit shots and got calls and that’s that. But they didn’t stop competing.

More of the bullshit calls and noncalls

[UZER]

Spurs just need a nasty player. Soft bigs let this one go

Pop is old and doesn't like that nasty type player anymore. He doesn't have the energy to coach them.

[TimDunkem]

Our three point shooters aren't very good at what they do.

[Chomag]

Even if Spurs had KL the majority of players on the roster are completely useless against the Dubs.

[TDTPMG21920]

Our "shooters" are scared to shoot smh...

[sammy]

scrubs were playing the whole game

LMA, Manu, Mills & Green are not scrubs!

[SAGirl]

Hilliard showing more game than Bryn Forbes :lol

[TimDunkem]

LMA, Manu, Mills & Green are not scrubs!

LMA is a choker. The rest are scrubs.

[tholdren]

LMA is a choker. The rest are scrubs.

Manu is the best player spurs have

[SAGirl]

This has been a fun game despite everything. You always learn things about the Spurs youth in games like this.

[Darius Bieber]

We have 11 more shot attempts than them. They're up 15.

[davidbowie]

remember those 5-10 mins when it looked like we were gonna win. that ruled.

[boutons_deux]

We have 11 more shot attempts than them. They're up 15.

Spurs cant hit 3Gs

[TimDunkem]

Manu is the best player spurs have

Pretty sad, tbh.

[Darius Bieber]

This is why Kawhi wants to leave this shit show. Pop pulling out the scrubs with 8 minutes to go.

[spurs10]

They hung in there for the first half. Can’t miss 10 shots in a row and hang with these guys.

[SAGirl]

ok Joff comes in, instant TO

[BatManu20]

Update on Kawhi: No timetable whatsoever for his return. :tu

[bklynspursfan]

Nothing new on Kawhi.. still sounds like it's just him being ready/comfortable

[Darius Bieber]

Kawhi probably lowering his value so he can sign with the Warriors for less money and not be suspicious.

[Barfunk]

Still can't believe a superstar chose to go to a 73-9 team one year removed from a championship. Smh.

[bklynspursfan]

They counted that bullshit but no continuation for Forbes before. :lol hilarious

[daslicer]

:lol West with offensive fouls.

[tholdren]

Pretty sad, tbh.

Not really. Hes probably the only playmaker in the nba that doesnt travel.

[SAGirl]

White knows how to draw fouls better than Dijon. He should have played more this season. And not saying he should have taken Dijon's minutes, but he could have taken some of Forbes and perhaps all of BP3.

[UZER]

remember those 5-10 mins when it looked like we were gonna win. that ruled.

Yeah,I was thinking, the warriors haven't even started shooting threes yet.

[Darius Bieber]

Bertans airball :lmao

[TDTPMG21920]

Fuck David West

[bklynspursfan]

Klay is super happy Kawhi is out. Kawhi routinely silences him

[UZER]

White knows how to draw fouls better than Dijon. He should have played more this season. And not saying he should have taken Dijon's minutes, but he could have taken some of Forbes and perhaps all of BP3.

Pffft. Like you know.

:pop:

[SAGirl]

Hilliard has game too, at least he knows how to pass the ball well. Has impressed me with his playmaking.

[sammy]

Fat West travels & gets free throws! What a joke these refs are! Bertans hit on wrist on three & refs blind/no call!

[SAGirl]

davis finally.

[TimDunkem]

Not really. Hes probably the only playmaker in the nba that doesnt travel.

That doesn't make it any less sad that a 40 year old is arguably your most valuable player.

[TheGreatYacht]

I'd fucking kill to see what our "shooters" (Bertans, Mills, Green, Forbes) average against the teams that matter

[bklynspursfan]

Dam Paul's arm got blatently held there too

[TheDoctor]

That faggot dabom (http://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=47543) kill himself yet?

[Darius Bieber]

Rodeo Road Trip: 1-1

[Chomag]

Spurs getting closer to the 4th seed.

[SAGirl]

Forbes did absolutely nothing good in this game. He can light up the sacramentos of the world but he won't show up against GSW.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs getting closer to the 4th seed.

We're only six games above making the playoffs.

We're closer to missing the playoffs than catching the 2 seed.

[tholdren]

That doesn't make it any less sad that a 40 year old is arguably your most valuable player.

I somewhat agree. But hes a better playmaker than kl who is regarded as a superstar

[objective]

We're only six games above making the playoffs.

Give me a lottery pick over losing 4-1 in the first round with White on the bench until game 5.

[DAF86]

Game went as always against these guys.

[objective]

Forbes did absolutely nothing good in this game. He can light up the sacramentos of the world but he won't show up against GSW.

Exactly.

He also gets lit up by 29 teams.

[sammy]

LMA is a choker. The rest are scrubs.

WTF! Are you blind! He’s been carrying the team this whole season! GTFOH! LMA & Manu are the ones playing good this year! Everyone else is just awful!:bang

[bklynspursfan]

WTF! Are you blind! He’s been carrying the team this whole season! GTFOH! LMA & Manu are the ones playing good this year! Everyone else is just awful!:bang

Can't pay attention to his logic

[BatManu20]

I think Pop like Derrick White. Seems to anyways.

[SAGirl]

man white has game... how he has not played all season while Pop plays Forbes and BP3 and even Hilliard (has shown game but is a gleague 2 way) over him is ridiculous.l

[Chomag]

I'm so glad the FO stood pat! We sure dodged that bullet...

[bklynspursfan]

Was that Joff or Vlade Divac :wow

[SAGirl]

DAvis not rebounding. :lol

[FkLA]

Paul is shorter than Derrick White, tbh.

[bklynspursfan]

I'm so glad the FO stood pat! We sure dodged that bullet...

Yea. Def makes sense to make some moves, especially without having 2/3 best scorers missing a bunch of time, 1 being an MVP level guy

[tholdren]

Lol wtf called a carry

[daslicer]

White looks obviously better than McCaw and Dejounte has been better than McCaw. Amazing how ST hyped up this scrub a few years ago when the Warriors drafted him and got angry at the Spurs for not drafting him.

[bklynspursfan]

Keep running up the score Nick Young. Iggy did right by leaving you, bum :lol

[Chomag]

I heard Jeff Errors might be available...do it Drunkford I dare you!!

[BatManu20]

Forbes did absolutely nothing good in this game. He can light up the sacramentos of the world but he won't show up against GSW.

He's similar to Patty (or what Patty was, anyways) in that he's good to have in the regular season as a minutes-eater and a spark guy off the bench on a cheap contract, but you can't play him against the elite teams in the league. Just too small, too weak, too un-athletic to compete with top-tier players. Really struggles against length and he's already a small guy as is.

[DAF86]

Lauvergne is such a cancerous black hole.

[tholdren]

White looks obviously better than McCaw and Dejounte has been better than McCaw. Amazing how ST hyped up this scrub a few years ago when the Warriors drafted him and got angry at the Spurs for not drafting him.

Murray sucks. We just saw that a smaller pg could rebound just as well. Trade

[bklynspursfan]

The experts on ST overreact and over analyze everything

[tbdog]

This Warriors team is beatable. The game plan is there. Really need our elite player back though.

true... but you can't overpay guys like that (meaning Patty) Bryn on his deal is fine, but if he was paid $10 mill a season you see where ppl have trouble with that.

[tbdog]

Warriors can't deal with adversity. Wish Leonard didn't get injured and we punked them game 1. Then we would have seen what Warriors were made of. But seriously, today we were missing two positions, SF and PG.

[LakerHater]

hilliard sux!

[coachmac87]

Spurs can compete for a half or 3 quarters but have lacked the star power..aka Kawhi. Warriors talent is just too much at times and without Kawhi just don’t stand a chance..

But on a positive note we have been able to compete without all our horses for stretches and have had multiple 10+ leads (multiple games). It’s just without Kawhi it’s hard to sustain...but so it’s just to hard to judge but you see the signs that’ll make you think there’s chance if healthy.

It’s all on Kawhi tbh but if you’re realistic you should already know this.



It’s also incredible they competed as much while only making 5 threes..compare that to the Rockets and it’s pretty remarkable

[daslicer]

Warriors can't deal with adversity. Wish Leonard didn't get injured and we punked them game 1. Then we would have seen what Warriors were made of. But seriously, today we were missing two positions, SF and PG.

I said that the other day against the Thunder. This is a team that will wilt under pressure if the other team punches back when they go on their runs.

[ElNono]

tbh, LMA got double and triple teamed and the Spurs had nothing ready to make them pay...

These are the little matchup things you look at that give an indication of playoff readyness, and we failed miserably at it...

[tbdog]

But seriously, if the refs actually called it even, it would have been a better indication where we are. That third fouled Mills was a joke. Livingston undercuts and trips over mills who fell from the under cut.

[Capt Bringdown]

Yup. Last year was the same

A rose-colored glasses take. Yes, the Spurs were up big before Leonard went out in game 1, but it is by no means a foregone conclusion that the Spurs would have won the series, even if the Spurs won game 1.
The Warriors options are vast, they can make many adjustments. Whereas the Spurs...if a team slows down/stops Leonard, it's over.

Of course the Warriors look beatable. The don't even need to play well to roll over teams. Most of the time they're just half-assing it, especially in the regular season.

The addition of Durant made the Warriors unbeatable. Their offensive firepower is overwhelming.
It's going to take another absurd super-team or key injuries to dethrone them.
It be nice to think otherwise, but...

[Fireball]

good game with expected outcome ... SpurPadre went home untouched I guess

Anderson continues his good play against the Dubs; 20pts, 6 rebs, 4 asts, 3 stls, 2 blocks and LMA looked really good thought he was more comfortable than i've seen him against this team. Didn't jack up bad shots after struggling to back down Dray or Zaza and stopped turning the ball over against them.

[Ice009]

Look at that 3 point shooting. Pitiful. Half these players are on the team only because of their shooting and they can't hit shit against most of the top teams. Gutless fucks.

Thanks for the boxscore. I missed the game, but it looks like Kyle was pretty good except for the TOs.

Has played well against them going back to the WCF.

while some guys have been the opposite. You know who they are...

Anderson continues his good play against the Dubs; 20pts, 6 rebs, 4 asts, 3 stls, 2 blocks and LMA looked really good thought he was more comfortable than i've seen him against this team. Didn't jack up bad shots after struggling to back down Dray or Zaza and stopped turning the ball over against them.
Lamarcus has gotten used to their defense he definitely passed well out of doubles aand triples and still got his points. I thought he had a good game.

The spurs shooters missed good looks. Specially Patty, he had the best looks if any shooter and was off of course he lit up Phoenix in garbage time. He then came up empty against GSW... continuing a trend of playing awful against them.

Too bad Kawhi can't even wipe his own ass yet.

I have felt like that for a while. It's pretty frustrating that it seems like Kawhi is not coming back this year.

Something I do know.. If we do get healthy we wouldn’t have to worry about guys like Patty and Forbes trying to make big plays. They’d be a lot more comfortable and efficient if someone like Kawhi can draw less attention to them so they can just shoot the ball and not worry about trying to make a lot of plays. We need Kawhi and Gay healthy so our role players can actually do just that.. be role players.

[TimDunkem]

Patty and Forbes won't suddenly be playing defense if Kawhi comes back.

It don’t matter. We have horrible defenders but still mostly always somehow hold teams to under their average. The defensive system is just that great I guess. So I’ve stopped worrying about that. What we need is scoring.

It does matter. Too many exploitable players. PATFO should've upgraded when they had the chance.

huh?

I knew someone would point that out so I didn’t change it. It doesn’t matter how I word it. You know what I’m talking about.

What I’m saying is that it’s too late. We have who we have. I don’t like it but it’s whatever. Several teams have players that can’t defend but somehow we play great team defense. We just need to score.

The thing is, some of these guys are regressing in areas that were their strengths.

When was the last time Patty had a great shooting game against GS?

I just know that before Kawhi got injured we up 23 and he was playing very calm and not doing anything to cost us the game. Then when Kawhi got injured he was scared as hell haha. But I’d rather him spot up and move run around than try to make plays with the ball in his hands.

Patty was 0 for 7 in that first half, iirc. :lol

Well everyone was carrying him I guess but evidently he didn’t fuck the team up lol. I’d rather him not play but we’re stuck with him so gotta atleast utilize him the best way we can. And only way that’s gonna happen is with a fully healthy team. I’m trying to worry less about this season. I’m at the point where I’m saying whatever happens, happens. I’ll just enjoy it the best way I can.

Even during the beautiful game era, our 2nd unit was quite bad defensively

[SAGirl]

Warriors' Steve Kerr:
“I thought that was the story of the game was - our bench play. The way those guys straightened everything out for us. We gave up 37 points in the first quarter, the defense wasn’t there and we were getting carved up."

Pau and Patty were horrible ... Bryn Forbes too.
Even Steve Kerr acknowledged their bench got them back in the game and straightened things up.

[San Antonio Slayer]

we could have a chance to come to clutch game but Forbes, Mills, Gasol and Klay messed it all. the funniest thing I recollected this gif when Danny turned the ball over on dribbling.
THANX ST!!!
