Sunday Game Thread 4/1 April Fool MASSACRE AT SA ABC 2:30 (11:30 pm RIGA)

[TheGreatYacht]

They only show replays when we get fouled :lmao literally show every angle too

[SAGirl]

lmao Rockets complaining over a foul call when they get every whistle on the other side of the court
this too

[Darius Bieber]

They only show replays when we get fouled :lmao literally show every angle too

[SAGirl]

this is going to be the whistle war...

[Ron Swanson]

lmao Rockets complaining over a foul call when they get every whistle on the other side of the court

It's fucking ridiculous.

[BatManu20]

Tony's defense.. so bad

[Raven]

literally every possession on Harden :lol It's good to see he hasn't improved at all.

[Proxy]

Parker at the ft line... forgot what that looked like

[bklynspursfan]

I beg to differ. That's one of the common threads in all basketball broadcasts that makes them consistently poorer than football telecasts. Football telecasts always go back and look at close calls. Basketball replays focus on some dunk or other non-controversial call. Drives me nuts.

Maybe it's just the local broadcasts thing, but yea. They've now replayed a couple I guess cause Haren was involved in both. Pretty lame, NFL definitely does better in that regard

[Darius Bieber]

Seriously thought they were gonna call a foul on Manu there tbh

[bklynspursfan]

They don't usually do that anymore on nationally televised game at least when it comes to bull shit calls. I have seen it a lot this year where there is a bad call and they don't show the replay of it.

I didn't realize that changed, thanks.. I knew I remembered it being different than this. Protecting the refs I guess when it's on national tv

[SAGirl]

the playoffs with these rockets are going to be whistle whistle

[TheGreatYacht]

I can already hear that loser ring chaser Drexler crying on their telecast

[ElNono]

Flopper on flopper flop

[daslicer]

:lol Pretty predictable Manu misses the freethrow and then Harden tries to flop to get the foul.

[TheGreatYacht]

the playoffs with these rockets are going to be whistle whistle
:lol no.

Thats literally why Harden plays like shit in the postseason. Refs allow more physical play then.

[sasaint]

Maybe it's just the local broadcasts thing, but yea. They've now replayed a couple I guess cause Haren was involved in both. Pretty lame, NFL definitely does better in that regard

Haha! Yeah, shown 2 since you first posted!

[Raven]

Harden losing his soul in this game :lol

[daslicer]

I didn't realize that changed, thanks.. I knew I remembered it being different than this. Protecting the refs I guess when it's on national tv

Yes it's pretty bad and it obviously an agenda by the league and it's tv partners to protect the leagues image. On locally televised games they show the replays of the bad calls.

[Raven]

the playoffs with these rockets are going to be whistle whistle

Nobody is watching them imo.

[Ron Swanson]

LMA going to the locker room with ice packs on his knees.

[SAGirl]

Bryn Forbes with that 0 stat line so far..


Rudy gay saving this bench

[sasaint]

Harden losing his soul in this game :lol

Nah, he traded his soul to the devil at the basketball Crossroads long ago in exchange for VIP treatment by the refs.

[SAGirl]

danny hustling

[Robz4000]

:lmao playing Forbes

[Darius Bieber]

I'm convinced Forbes doesn't just have Pop's photos, he must have an hour long sextape with Buford

[Spur|n|Austin]

is JVG retarded?

[Clipper Nation]

:lol no.

Thats literally why Harden plays like shit in the postseason. Refs allow more physical play then.
True, but there's a chance the league wants to manufacture Houston as the "Warrior stoppers" so they can pretend there's parity. Then it really will be whistle, whistle, whistle in the playoffs.

[KDKSpurs24]

Jeff Van Gundy grew up clueless. He has no idea that he just made it seem like he was referring to incest on accident. Wow haha.

[Raven]

Rudy Gay has to be the most underrated defender in the history of basketball

[TheGreatYacht]

Poop and his love for useless 6'1 shooting guards may be greater than his love for ugly gingers

[Robz4000]

Poop and his love for useless 6'1 shooting guards may be greater than his love for ugly gingers

He plays Forbes and Mills over Bertans, so I wouldn't say may.

[bklynspursfan]

Gay gets slapped, foul on him :lol

[313]

Pop is the greatest defensive coach of all time tbh his defensive system is the true key to the spurs success all these years. This team stinks on paper.

[Ron Swanson]

is JVG retarded?

Yes.

[Darius Bieber]

is JVG retarded?

Just said "you can always count on Mills" so......

[Raven]

they manage to suck paul's dick even when he's scratching his balls on the bench :lol

[sasaint]

Jeff Van Gundy grew up clueless. He has no idea that he just made it seem like he was referring to incest on accident. Wow haha.

I hate all of those network guys, especially JVG. Guys' advocating situational foul calls drives me nuts.

[Ron Swanson]

LMA is back in there. Gives zero fucks about getting banged up. Take notes, Kawhi.

[bklynspursfan]

Gays eyes light up when Haren is on him

[313]

I wonder how many more years of good defense we're gonna get from green. His defense isn't completely reliant on athleticism, he could hang around for a while.

[SAGirl]

capela clearly pushing guys into Harden

[bklynspursfan]

Pop is the greatest defensive coach of all time tbh his defensive system is the true key to the spurs success all these years. This team stinks on paper.

Yep, that defensive system is on point this season. And it has to be even more with Kawhi out. That plus LMA on offense has been quite impressive

[sasaint]

Just said "you an always count on Mills" so......

Haha!

But he did just say that you could put together a tape of the Spurs today on how not to run a fast break...

[SAGirl]

good to see Patty on fire

[TDTPMG21920]

Nice job Mills, just stop ruining fast breaks

[phxspurfan]

50 aka Ferrari

[weeks]

please let this be the beginning of patty's redemption arc

[Robz4000]

Shades of Patty before the fattening.

[BatManu20]

Vintage Patty on fire :wow

[daslicer]

capela clearly pushing guys into Harden

Capella with the Warriors like illegal screens.

[TheRemix]

Stephen mills

[sasaint]

JVG and Mark just parroting the old BS about the Spurs not beating themselves. Clearly haven't kept up with the team most of this season.

[Proxy]

oh now I get it, Mills has been pulling a Horry

[TheGreatYacht]

Don't forget to check out clutchfans.com for some laughs

[Raven]

Dagger.

[sasaint]

please let this be the beginning of patty's redemption arc

PLEASE let him EARN $50 mil.

[KDKSpurs24]

Now this is the Patty I want from now on! (Excluding the fast breaks).

[Raven]

JVG and Mark just parroting the old BS about the Spurs not beating themselves. Clearly haven't kept up with the team most of this season.

yeah, they clearly don't watch nba much... I guess it makes sense when you lived your whole life watching it, you lose interest..

[Ron Swanson]

50 earning that money.

[313]

How are we so bad at fast breaks :lol

[sasaint]

I think Rudy actually whiffed on the dumb reach.

[Ron Swanson]

NOT THIS GAY!

[FaM0us Skins]

V3RDE!

[Raven]

I wonder how many more years of good defense we're gonna get from green. His defense isn't completely reliant on athleticism, he could hang around for a while.

He has the mileage of a 26 year old

[Canyonero]

Spurs riding that Gay D

[bbarry]

Harden is NOTHING without WeePee3

[FaM0us Skins]

Just give the MVP to Danny Green already

[TheGreatYacht]

Hope Bronny is watching

[sasaint]

Maybe the best 3 minutes of Spurs basketball all season. Wow!

[Ron Swanson]

Hope Bronny is watching

[szkorhetz]

Rudy, please play like this.

[weeks]

good lord what a stretch

when they ball like this the team looks unstoppable
houston is checked out

[DAF86]

Harden, Dantoni and co. getting in playoffs form.

[Proxy]

well, took care of business. Rockets played like shit, but gg

[Raven]

MUAHAHHA

[SAGirl]

:flag:

[sasaint]

PJ is done.

[kjhip1]

Man the spurs have looked great at home the past couple of weeks! Team has fight in them. Let’s keep it goin! GSG

[bklynspursfan]

Antoni still with his starters in lmao

[SAGirl]

good win... wipittttyyyyy
without the whistle ... Harden isn't the same guy

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Great massacre. Looking good for the Spurs to reach 50 wins as long as the can squeeze past the Pelicans.

[Raven]

Harden :lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao:lmao

[313]

Fathead was so slow on that fast break i thought it was a dead ball :lmao

[SAGirl]

MUAHAHHA

Kyle took so long on that move the defender expired while aging.

[Ron Swanson]

Very satisfying win.

[BatManu20]

I know it's a meaningless regular season game to them, but damn I love beating this team.

[TheDoctor]

:lol

[daslicer]

I know it's a meaningless regular season game to them, but damn I love beating this team.

I agree plus I hate their fans. It feels good they won't get the satisfaction of ending the Spurs 50 game win streak.

[sasaint]

Very satisfying win.

:tu

[SAGirl]

Rudy was big time in this game.... glad to have him... this is exactly what he came here for.

I am glad for him that despite of the Kiwi drama, the team will still make the playoffs bc that is what he wanted out of this season.

[Raven]

WIN

[TheDoctor]

I know it's a meaningless regular season game to them, but damn I love beating this team.
Was gonna say the same thing :tu

Besides LMA, now we just need another MVP level player to drop these playas in the POs

I am glad, too. I thought that might actually motivate them more.

must’ve gotten bad news after the game from nyc :stirpot:

[cd98]

Spurs turnaround is due to giving up on Kawhi return.

[TD 21]

Had a feeling Spurs would win, even had Paul played. Home, significant motivational advantage and the Rockets were due to lose (the surest sign a winning streak is about to end, is when you pull your most recent win out of your ass, as they did).

Pop was brutal again though. From inexplicably having Anderson and Mills defend Harden in stretches (even if the former mostly did the job, it doesn't change the rational), to inexplicably playing Forbes at all, to inexplicably sitting Gay far too long in the 2nd and 3rd, when it was clear from his initial stint that he had it today.

[BillMc]

Who you guys want to win Thunder-Pelicans and Jazz-Timberwolves?

[KDKSpurs24]

Who you guys want to win Thunder-Pelicans and Jazz-Timberwolves?
That’s tough. But the good news is that at least 2 of them will lose.

[YGWHI]

For Spurs' seeding is better Pels and Jazz

Also the Thunder has to play Rockets next Wednesday...A losing streek coming. :tu

Truth

[Em-City]

Nice job Mills, just stop ruining fast breaks

so true!

[r0drig0lac]

best game of the team in this season and Forbes still manages to look like the worst guy on the court

[YGWHI]

Pop was brutal again though.

The good news about a possible Spurs-Rockets 2nd round..D'Antoni will make more mistakes than Pop. A lot more...

He keeps thinking he'll win throwing midgets at LMA/Rudy when he sits Capella/Ariza.

[Snaq O'Meal]

Kyle took so long on that move the defender expired while aging.

:lol

In a perfect world, you should be doing color commentary.

[LakerHater]

whoever made this thread deserves to be BANNED!

[K...]

whoever made this thread deserves to be BANNED!

The last thread I did was wizards. I was over confident and the team lost. Today I was negative and we won. I think I know what in doing now.

[phxspurfan]

lol massacre....April fools yo

[tbdog]

Mills has been playing so well lately and logging in serious minutes. He desperately needs a playmaking out there with him. Also TP is done. He just steadies the ship for a mins if Mills and Murray are losing control.

[Dex]

It was a massacre...for the Rockets. :tu

[SASdynasty!]

Who you guys want to win Thunder-Pelicans and Jazz-Timberwolves?
I want the Spurs to stay at 4 and see the Timberwolves at 5 so Parker can finish his resume and beat every Western Conference team in the playoffs.

[ElNono]

Tony Parker: 13 mins
Pau Gasol: 10 mins

Big reason why we won this game, tbh...

[Spurtacular]

OP obviously didn't look at the injury report / understand the Rockets ain't playing for sh**.

[tholdren]

Tony Parker: 13 mins
Pau Gasol: 10 mins

Big reason why we won this game, tbh...

Pau is terrible. But he does have more apg that the starting pg

[spurs1990]

I think he's only got the 2010 sweep in his favor

Nah, that was Alvin Gentry.
