[spurraider21]

Spurs by 20+, tbh

[TXstbobcat]

Just got my ticket on stubhub for the game tonight. :flag:

I actually like catching the 9:00 pm happy hour for the west coast spurs road games.

[LakerHater]

Spurs by 4

[rjv]

davis is beasting at the moment so will be tough. not to mention that the pelicans are one of those teams that can give us problems. i hope that davis has a drop-off game and the pelicans shoot a low percentage on three-pointers tonight.

[BillMc]

3:30 AM Riga time....people bitching about the late West Coast start times need to stfu! :lol

Agreed! :lol And thanks for the RT

And, since it pleased the basketball gods last game, we go old school again with Melissa:

Gotta get the mojo up.

Gotta get the mojo up. Woot! That will work! :wow

[spursistan]

Talk about one of those early must-win games with Tiebreak implications later on..

Spurs got to get this one..

[phxspurfan]

I like GTs

etc

[BillMc]

Would like to see Rudy come alive and look like he was early in the season. That plus Kawhi would really change this team.

[spurs10]

Would like to see Rudy come alive and look like he was early in the season. That plus Kawhi would really change this team.
Yeah he hasn’t put up a lot of points so far, but the ones he’s made look good and he’s been active on defense. Since before the season started I’ve had high hopes for LMA, Gay, and Kawhi out there together (the 9 games notwithstanding). Maybe we will get to see that this season after all.

[MoSpur02]

The Bravatars need to make a comeback

[tenbeersbold]

Pau is most likely out due to bone bruise in left knee...
Davis is gonna feast on Joff lol!
Bigs rotation is gonna be fouling out tonight lol

[Darth_Pelican]

I’m hoping for a good game. Davis has been getting plenty of props during the winning streak but Jrue’s great play has been key as well.

[Robz4000]

Pelicans by 10.

[TimDunkem]

Pels have this on lock unless the Spurs shoot lights out.

[Spurtacular]

Line is -4 1/2 on Spurs. Maybe generous given our injuries / recent performances vs. them. But Pels are pretty bad post-Cousins injury, tbh. This would be a fun one to bet on, tbh.

[spursistan]

969000086528282624

Pop singing a different tune :cry

[phxspurfan]

969000086528282624

Pop singing a different tune :cry

maybe he had a dinner with Kawhi








...and agreed to move the Spurs to LA :downspin:

[Darius Bieber]

Pelicans by 20+ tbh

[Ron Swanson]

:flag:

[boutons_deux]

It would be a huge confidence builder if the Spurs could kill Pels win string.

[sasaint]

Emeka Okafor... Wow! I had forgotten about his comeback.

[sasaint]

Should re-name the Pels "Mummy-legs."

[TDTPMG21920]

No perimeter defense at all with this starting lineup

[sasaint]

Davis - good salesman.

[phxspurfan]

LMA hurts himself now lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

LA hurt. This season is CURSED!!!!

[r0drig0lac]

Dejounte Leonard

[sasaint]

Dijon! Was that a travel? :wow

[spursistan]

969027204255506432

[Robz4000]

Rudy looks awful.

[sasaint]

Dijon! Was that a travel? :wow

Replay sez NO!

[NASpurs]

Lauvergne on Davis? #PrayForJoff

Not like Gasol would had been any better.

nvm, Davis got subbed out

[spursistan]

Gay has been looking worse and worse as the season progressed. At this rate look for him to opt in if he doesn't get back to early season form..

[NASpurs]

I like Kawhi's body language on the bench. Looks engaged at least.

[boutons_deux]

52% FG 1st qtr, hugely better than so many orher games

[Leetonidas]

Yall being a little harsh on Rudy. He's been solid all year and has missed the last two months. This is his third game back. He's had two nice blocks

[sasaint]

LA hurt. This season is CURSED!!!!

Joff is gonna be much better as a starter.

[sasaint]

Yall being a little harsh on Rudy. He's been solid all year and has missed the last two months. This is his third game back. He's had two nice blocks

Hope he is much better in his second year on the team, tbh.s

[Bill_Brasky]

Rudy is moving fine. Just gonna take a few games for him to gain the confidence in his shot.

[Bill_Brasky]

Joff also continues to play well.

[sasaint]

JOFF BLOCK!

[Robz4000]

Lauvergne with his second block ever.

[r0drig0lac]

great effort tonight

[SAGirl]

969000086528282624

Pop singing a different tune :cry
"and when, and if he feels like he is ready to go..."

[sasaint]

great effort tonight

Yeah much better energy than we have started most games, tbh. Coincidence that Kawhi is on the bench?

[Darth_Pelican]

Glad to only be down 5 with AD and Jrue on the bench for a while.

[r0drig0lac]

Kawhi laughing? wtf

[sasaint]

Murray finally gets a call!

[sasaint]

Joff!

[Ron Swanson]

Nice job by Joff so far.

[sasaint]

Nice job by Joff so far.

A pity he isn't 3 inches taller. I do like how he goes strong to the hole.

[spursistan]

Joff Lauvergne = NBA player :wow

[dabom]

DM playing good.

[sasaint]

Dijon!

[boutons_deux]

JoLo coming along just fine

[dabom]

Fathead trying to steal a ball from DM and turnover.

[r0drig0lac]

Dejounte is a incredible rebounder

[dabom]

Dejounte is a incredible rebounder

As good as you can get at his position.

[TheRemix]

DJ playing well. His floaters are nice but I wish he could hit his jumpers consistently

[sasaint]

Dejounte is a incredible rebounder

Yeah, he has the instincts of Rodman.

[NASpurs]

LMA back in the lockerroom.

[sasaint]

LMA back in the lockerroom.

And Joff losing The Brow on D.

[r0drig0lac]

Gino!!!

[NASpurs]

WTF kind of defense was that Joff :lol

[sasaint]

DJ playing well. His floaters are nice but I wish he could hit his jumpers consistently

Without checking any stats, I bet he hits jumpers at a better rate than Tony did for his first 2 years.

[bklynspursfan]

Did anyone catch Kawhi looking at his hands after that Manu layup ?? :lol

[Ron Swanson]

Grandpa Juice leading the way with 13.

[NASpurs]

Old Man-u bailing out the Spurs.

[SAGirl]

So far so good. Going better than I thought... no jinxes pls

[sasaint]

Grandpa Juice leading the way with 13.


Old Man-u bailing out the Spurs.

Having one of those games. :tu

[Spur|n|Austin]

Unable to watch; what happened to LA?

[Robz4000]

Unable to watch; what happened to LA?

Had to get his foot amputated.

[sasaint]

Unable to watch; what happened to LA?

Turned his right ankle. Went to the locker but returned. Then went back to the locker.

[Ron Swanson]

LMA is done for the night. Not surprising.

[TheGreatYacht]

A big got hurt the same game Poop rests Gasol? No way.

[sasaint]

A big got hurt the same game Poop rests Gasol? No way.

Sets up an epic battle between Unibrow and Joff.

[Robz4000]

Turn the tank on.

[SAGirl]

LMA is done for the night. Not surprising.
damn bad luck. no real centers against a team with a star big.

[Ron Swanson]

And Pop’s gone.

[Robz4000]

What the fuck Pop?

[NASpurs]

Pop giving up two easy points.

[loveforthegame]

WtF Pop?

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

That's some Joey Crawford level bullshit right there tbh

[Robz4000]

Literally waving the white flag with that meaningless ejection.

[Darius Bieber]

lmao Pop couldn't be more wrong. Rondo was inbounds.

[Darth_Pelican]

No Pop or LMA. Shame on the Pels if they lose this

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

inb4 Poop blames Trump

[spurs10]

Rondo was clearly out of bounds!

[SAGirl]

pop ejected.... to add to the stress of the situation.

[pad300]

Pop has a hot date I guess...

[spurs10]

Easy buckets for easy buckets for NO.

[SAGirl]

This game is stressing me out.

[K...]

Is funny with a healthy hand lauveegne and is decent

[Robz4000]

Surprised it took them this long to try Fathead on AD.

[SAGirl]

Kyle with that block! still I am stressed out though.

[sasaint]

lmao Pop couldn't be more wrong. Rondo was inbounds.

Yeah, I thought he clearly established himself inbounds.

[NASpurs]

Joff points and yells at Patty to cut; no shit the defense knew what he was going to pass it to him.

[r0drig0lac]

And Pop’s gone.

no kawhi and no LA...? i'm out [/Pop

[SAGirl]

I am watching Messina too... want to see how he does. Potential Pop successor and all... who knows?

[SAGirl]

no kawhi and no LA...? i'm out [/Pop
:lol
stress got to him, like it's getting to me.

[r0drig0lac]

Gay!!

[r0drig0lac]

wow

[K...]

Let's see how long Bertrand can play before he's exposed on d

[FaM0us Skins]

Gay!

[SAGirl]

good to see Rudy on that drive.

[K...]

Ldn doing Ldn things

[NASpurs]

"Do we even want LaMarcus back?" I can already see PlayBoban's next thread. :lol

[Chinook]

It's been a bit of an adventure for Danny tonight, but that's a classic LDN moment.

[TDomination]

Wow spurs went on a 7-0 run after that timeout. Messina said something haha

Great steal by green

[TimDunkem]

Spurs commercials are cringy.

[SAGirl]

Danny 3... this is an erratic looking game.. but at least :tu guys came to play.

[spurs10]

Playing “Kashmir”....we will win!

[r0drig0lac]

what a pass by Dejounte

[NASpurs]

:wow That sequence started by Bertans and finished by Murray

[sasaint]

Wow!

[r0drig0lac]

unbelievable effort

[SAGirl]

:wowwow.... Dejoune on that pass to Rudy Gay... dude keeps getting better and better...
silver lining, blessing in disguise all that jazzz..

[NASpurs]

That pass from Parker to Manu when Manu wasn't even looking :lol

[SAGirl]

what a pass by Dejounte
same here... wow:wow

[Bill_Brasky]

Damn, Manu is so tricky.

[sasaint]

Davis and Kyle with a couple of easy misses in a row. Dang!

[Robz4000]

Holiday destroying the Spurs, per par.

[NASpurs]

:lmao jump ball? Fuck off

Ok they called a foul. Good. I think that's what the refs were "conferencing" about.

[Bill_Brasky]

That Is such a bullshit flagrant foul call. Meanwhile the goons on GS get away with murder.

[SAGirl]

nice to see Rudy get it going... he needed this... another silver lining...

[sasaint]

What was AD complaining about?

[spursistan]

I cant stress enough how huge of a win this would be..

[bklynspursfan]

What was AD complaining about?

Trying to figure that out too. It wasn't even close.

[r0drig0lac]

gay for three

[NASpurs]

:wow Rudy's shot is back... hopefully

[bklynspursfan]

Rudy!!!

[sasaint]

I cant stress enough how huge of a win this would be..

That's okay, SAGirl is stressing enough for both of you.

[spursistan]

Unfortunately Spurs gonna get outtalented the rest of the way..

[spursistan]

Fuckin massive 3..

[SAGirl]

great game from Rudy so far after a slow start..... great to see.

[sasaint]

Unfortunately Spurs gonna get outtalented the rest of the way..

I dunno. We have some guys playing hard and well - Dijon, Manu, Danny, Davis, Rudy. If they stay hot, we could pull out this W.

[Robz4000]

Spurs gonna get raped from here.

[sasaint]

Unfortunately Spurs gonna get outtalented the rest of the way..

And don't forget Joff!

[Bill_Brasky]

Every lucky break going their way....

[boutons_deux]

Spurs cant hold the good lead

[Bill_Brasky]

Would be a nice time for TP to get hot and take us home.

[r0drig0lac]

4th quarter vintage parker

[K...]

This is a good defensive line up even with the olds

[bklynspursfan]

HOTS :wow

[weeks]

MVPARKER

[K...]

Keep patty far away

[Bill_Brasky]

Of course they just never miss....

[SAGirl]

HOTS got hot that is also good to see considering.

[sasaint]

This is a good defensive line up even with the olds

No.

[Robz4000]

Spurs can't put a unit out there that can score and defend at the same time while NO can.

[bklynspursfan]

We're gonna need our shooters to catch fire this quarter. Mills/LDN/B3rtans all gotta be ready.

Hopefully Gay has some clutch genes left

[TheRemix]

After all that from tony..only up 3:lol

[K...]

No.

I had hopes

[sasaint]

Of course they just never miss....

Both teams getting wide open looks for the most part.

[sasaint]

We're gonna need our shooters to catch fire this quarter. Mills/LDN/B3rtans all gotta be ready.

Hopefully Gay has some clutch genes left

Going to have to find some D like we showed in that 3rd quarter spurt.

[sasaint]

I had hopes

Tony was a good offensive spark, but I am glad Dijon is back in.

[bklynspursfan]

Nice to get to the FT line out of the time out. Defense has to be sharp. Gotta swarm the brow

[SAGirl]

Have to bring Murray back.

[spursistan]

The Pels have the two best players on court by some margin..Hard to see our guys hold on without an outlier performances by few of them..

[dabom]

RG just slapped him?

[Darth_Pelican]

Put Mirotic back in.... this 4 guard lineup gets eaten up on the defensive end.

[bklynspursfan]

Gay bout to be suspended so the Spurs can have even more guys out :lol

Wouldn't be surprised if Stern was still running things

[r0drig0lac]

RG just slapped him?

alpha af

[SAGirl]

One thing I don't want to see is another injury... not even a nicked fingernail... no more... my nerves are frayed. :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Have to bring Murray back.

He was back after the TO. Hope he's got something left and picks up where he left off. Gonna need it

[sasaint]

The Pels have the two best players on court by some margin..Hard to see our guys hold on without an outlier performances by few of them..

And D like the Spurs of old.

[boutons_deux]

Gay to be suspended got slugging

[daslicer]

Gay to be suspended got slugging

I'm not watching the game what did Gay do?

[Down Under]

The luck of Pau not playing is the one game LMA gets hurt and no rim protection :lol. Pretty unlucky season

[sasaint]

Nice play!

[bklynspursfan]

Not this guy!!!

[sasaint]

Rudeeeee!

[bklynspursfan]

Ugh LDN missed Patty wide open for the 3

[K...]

Sweet Rudy

[SAGirl]

they are playing well.. its just obvious lack of rim protection... can't be helped considering

[bklynspursfan]

Dam Gay with some solid defense too. Murray rushed it tho man smh. Killed the momentum

[sasaint]

Dijon has to pull that out!

[SAGirl]

too hectic to close out a game... have to value the possessions.

[SpurPadre]

Why do the Pelicans always seem to play us as if we fucked their mothers?

[SAGirl]

Dijon has to pull that out!
agree... that was a bad call...of course if he made it we'd be swinging praises but it was a tough shot and team has a small lead. they have to slow it down now.

[sasaint]

Pels just have not gone to AD like they should have. Although with their shooting, it hasn't really hurt them.

[SPURt]

Not this guy!!!
I was thinking the same thing on his three. Gay makes a huge difference. It’s still weird seeing him in a Spurs jersey. If he can do this every night and stay healthy his contract looks really good.

[MVPCues]

I'm not watching the game what did Gay do?

Rondo hit Gay in the face scratching his nose causing blood. Gay walks up to him and does a slow motion swing clocking him in the jaw, Rondo falls back like he was really hit and dazed. Was a joke.

[r0drig0lac]

Gay is a beast tonight

[bklynspursfan]

Murray really making it tough to remember how well he played earlier lol

[sasaint]

Run some clock, Patty! Heroballing.

[spursistan]

Choking this shit per par..

[sasaint]

Man, Dijon. Guard him!

[bklynspursfan]

Looked like Gay got pushed there, wow

[Robz4000]

:lmao

[r0drig0lac]

Dejounte Curry

[bklynspursfan]

Murray.. Wow big time shot

[Budkin]

Pull this out Spurs!

[NASpurs]

the kid :wow

[K...]

Oh shit to and to

[sasaint]

DJ trey!

[SAGirl]

Messina's choice of players to close out this game is questionable I will say that.

[r0drig0lac]

Mills....

[sasaint]

Dang, Patty! SMH!

[bklynspursfan]

Dammit

[Darius Bieber]

This team is trash

[Bill_Brasky]

They'd better close this shit out.

[sasaint]

Messina's choice of players to close out this game is questionable I will say that.

Nah, Mills is in for his D.

[SAGirl]

Fuck Messina. if they win it then yay, but still questionable group to close... think Danny probably should have been in...

[Darius Bieber]

Pelicans will be basically tied with the Spurs in the standings after this game. :lmao

[boutons_deux]

14 pt swing

[spursistan]

Too many lost close ones for the Spurs lately..It is gonna bite them in the ass I fear..

[Robz4000]

Off Manu

[K...]

Patty the closer...... Lmao

[boutons_deux]

Spurs -9 in 4th

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs have to be the least clutch team in the NBA.

[sasaint]

Manu, dang! Forcing! Game!

[K...]

Too many lost close ones for the Spurs lately..It is gonna bite them in the ass I fear..

Missing our two best players?

[spurs10]

Here’s our chance!!

[Bill_Brasky]

Great, now I get to go to bed pissed.

[NASpurs]

Why the fuck is 6' Patty Mills inbounding? :lmao

[Budkin]

Game

[sasaint]

Turnover?!?!?!

[spursistan]

Mills the tank commander :lol

[hoopdreams11]

why isn't danny in the game?

[Robz4000]

Please, please start the tank in earnest after this loss.

[spursgu]

RIP 50 win streak

[Darius Bieber]

Please, please start the tank in earnest after this loss.

[spursgu]

Please, please start the tank in earnest after this loss.

[Bill_Brasky]

Patty the closer...... Lmao

It's insane that that dude gets to be in close games during the last 2 minutes. Waste of fucking space on both ends.

[SAGirl]

Why the fuck is 6' Patty Mills inbounding? :lmao
Messina is pissing me off.

[Budkin]

Please, please start the tank in earnest after this loss.

Way too late

[bbarry]

spurs gotta go 14-6 if they lose tonight.

[dabom]

Pop doesn't play manu to close anymore. Why now? :lol

[sasaint]

Too many lost close ones for the Spurs lately..It is gonna bite them in the ass I fear..

Has all year. We close games like Sacramento, tbh. Hard for a long-time Spurs fan to watch.

[SAGirl]

It's insane that that dude gets to be in close games during the last 2 minutes. Waste of fucking space on both ends.
He is going to lead the tank... Pop usually has Kyle make those passes in close games... fuck Messina tbh... :pctoss

[Darius Bieber]

Way too late

Only be two losses away from 9th seed with a loss tonight.

[sasaint]

Messina is pissing me off.

Been learning from the master.

[bklynspursfan]

Valiant effort without Aldridge. Couple bonehead plays down the stretch really hurt

[K...]

Prayer time

[Spurtacular]

Why ain't Green in? Fouled out? Hurt?
