The why not a game thread? just for the heck of it game thread - Spurs clinch playoff

[Ron Swanson]

Or, "Hey Kawhi, at least I can still wipe my ass with this t-shirt!"

:lmao

[hoopdreams11]

can pop take out Anderson he always makes a mistake to lose the game and this rookie is killing him

[SpurPadre]

Pop disagrees with you. Bryn is up there with Steph.

Oh yeah, I forgot. And according to Pop, Bonner is the best shooter to have ever lived.

[Leetonidas]

Fucking retarded midget

[cd98]

Kings looking for royal spoil.

[Killakobe81]

Hack a Stein?

[Ron Swanson]

Manu tried like hell to get #5 on WCS.

[hoopdreams11]

ahh kyle missed a wide open elbow jumper they are going to leave him open

[TheDoctor]

Take out that fat marsupial Pop!! WTF was that pass? :pctoss

[DAF86]

I don't trust Murray back now. I prefer Rudy to get back.

[dbestpro]

Rudy Gay gonna bring the Spurs back to a 5 point deficit and Pop will sub in Anderson for him.

You related to Nostradamus?

[SAGirl]

Patty errors

[TheDoctor]

Forbes always seems to look so fucking defeated smh

[007nites]

Mills, Manu, Forbes, Gay, and LA to close it? No one can guard Fox or Hield anyway.

[NASpurs]

The anti-clutch Spurs versus the horrible Kings, when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

[SAGirl]

Manu
:flag:

[Budkin]

Spurs don’t have what it takes to beat a team like the Kings!

[Mugen]

We gotta get TP back in there and close this thing out, Go Kings Go!

[TheDoctor]

Whataburger food commercials are gross tbh

[cd98]

If Spurs lose THIS game, they are a joke. No one loses this game when playoffs are at stake. Pop will forfeit his HOF.

[007nites]

We gotta get TP back in there and close this thing out, Go Kings Go!

TP has been garbage

[BillMc]

Unless we find out the team has asked Kawhi not to be present for some reason, then screw Kawhi.. Team fightin' for the playoffs and isn't even in the house. Enjoy your checks Kawhi.

[Ron Swanson]

Nothing quite like a late-season barnburner against the Kings with the playoffs on the line.

[ElNono]

Kills me to see the season on the line and Forbes and Fathead are out there... smh

[vander]

man, everyone knows we need Gay out there instead of Anderson, except Pop

[TheDoctor]

Give the ball to Manu and get out of the way :drunk

[Keepin' it real]

Bryan!!

[SpurPadre]

The anti-clutch Spurs versus the horrible Kings, when an unstoppable force meets an immovable object.

Almost like watching Bonner vs. Steve Novak playing a horse competition in June, tbh.

[Ron Swanson]

Keep waving that towel, Patty

[SAGirl]

Brynsanity got this... :lol

[ElNono]

At least Bryn is hitting it

[gambit1990]

Yes.

[SpurPadre]

Manu playing like this is his last regular season home game, tbh... :depressed

[Mugen]

Getting bailed out by a nigga named Bryn, smh.

[TheDoctor]

Good to see Patty waiving that towel like a boss

[.G.]

Fcking Kawhi...

[dbestpro]

You have to wonder where the team's heart was over the first three quarters in such an important game.

[MultiTroll]

Patty Bonner with the trey! :cheer

Better enjoy it now tbh cause who knows who we get in the playoffs.

I’m going honking downtown

[007nites]

Forbes and manu won the game and murray was terrible as usual

Rudy

[Mugen]

Right on time for the choke

[TDTPMG21920]

That's the other reason I want the Spurs to make the playoffs: Rudy deserves some more postseason action.

[Bill_Brasky]

Motherfuck

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs players ejaculating on the court and celebrating when they’re barely beating a scrub ass team.

[SAGirl]

Patty made a shot finally...

[Robz4000]

Mills gives it right back.

WTF Fatty stop giving points back

[r0drig0lac]

Rudy mvp

[Ron Swanson]

You are on a super roll! :lmao

Patty is on a cinnamon roll.

[bklynspursfan]

Bryn knew that pass was coming and his reaction showed it. Love that .. great execution

[SAGirl]

Spurs players ejaculating on the court and celebrating when they’re barely beating a scrub ass team.
wait until Spurs tanking and spend years in purgatory tbh...
Rudy has only made the playoffs once in his career.
cant take this for granted.

4th Quarter Spurs is where Life starts :hat

RUDY GAY IS A GOD

[davidbowie]

A win like this makes me hate kawhi lol

[tholdren]

:lol fucking Forbes saved the Spurs' playoff streak

Yep. Like i said. Hes there to score. And hes better than murray, and this makes him more clutch than kawhi.

[TheDoctor]

ginobili is the gheorghe hagi of basketball

While Kawhi is the gheorghe vagi of basktetball

[vander]

well Green's presence was definitely not missed in the 2nd half

[bklynspursfan]

The Rudy/Manu 2nd half show again, with a dash of Forbes

[TheDoctor]

Joffrey is walking down the court as if he had been sitting the last 5 games.

[tholdren]

So sad you all couldnt see forbes better than murray..... just awful takes here in spurstalk

[boutons_deux]

OVer half of spurs pts from the bench

[LakerHater]

No Murray during close out mins to fuck up the game

pretty much.

[gambit1990]

manu the past two games: 34 points on 66.67% shooting.

[SAGirl]

Manu Bryn and Rudy were the game changers tonight.

RIP LDN tbh.

[SAGirl]

what are Tony's numbers tbh? Bryn much better at this point. White too. Dejounte too. Who isn't better?

[$pursDynasty]

A win like this makes me hate kawhi lol
Him not on the bench as his team claws it's way to the playoffs, it sure looks pretty bad.

[tholdren]

No Murray during close out mins to fuck up the game

But his elite defense.....

[NASpurs]

manu the past two games: 34 points on 66.67% shooting.

Does Parker even have more than 34 points in the last ten games combined?

[Slippy]

You have to wonder where the team's heart was over the first three quarters in such an important game.
True but they responded. Part of the reason for why was Rudy Gay. He went from 7 mins in the first half to 14min in second half.

So my question is whats going through pops brain that he keeps limiting Rudy. Its the healthiest hes looked all season. potentially hes the spurs second best scoring option but at times pop just seems to forget he exists.

MANU at 40 still doing what he does best. Close games

[BillMc]

Victory!:flag:

[TheDoctor]

what are Tony's numbers tbh? Bryn much better at this point. White too. Dejounte too. Who isn't better?
You ain't better than anybody when you refuse to play.

[SAGirl]

You sure have changed your mind on him lol I remember last year you wanted him to hang em up
Think so long as he's in the team Pop won't look for guard talent and the team has needed better guards for years. It required 27 minutes of Manu. He can't do this every night anymore and it's too much to expect him to. I am encouraged in White at least, and like Dejounte enough... not sure they can pull off what Manu just did, he's special... but it won't last forever and it might be over when you least expected bc have grown accustomed to him doing another season. I took him for granted at times... but have realized how much he will be missed. (like Tim still is to this day).

[BillMc]

So now that we won do we want Portland or Denver to win?

[SAGirl]

You ain't better than anybody when you refuse to play.
if Tony wasn't playing White would be... so not better than that.

[Trill Clinton]

Much needed win. The vets(manu and gay) and great adjustments by Pop at the end of the game sealed it.

[NASpurs]

So now that we won do we want Portland or Denver to win?

Denver only because Portland has a couple of players that can average 35 for a series which would be annoying. I feel better trying to limit Nurkic and Milsap instead of Lillard and McCollum.

edit:Also watch Napier, Turner or Aminu have a flukey series if they played the Spurs.

edit again: :lmao I misread your question, my bad. D’oh

[Strategic]

Spurs in, Mavs and Lakers out.

[Robz4000]

So now that we won do we want Portland or Denver to win?

Denver

[SAGirl]

well Green's presence was definitely not missed in the 2nd half
Thought it wasn't a great idea to bench Kyle for him to start the game but I guess Pop had to see whatever he wanted to see in an elimination game and he saw it. I guess...

[Ron Swanson]

Denver up 3 with 2:10 to go.

[HarlemHeat37]

Nice comeback..Sacramento is already locked into their draft spot, too, so wasn't even tanking:lol

This is what the Spurs look like when Aldridge struggles, it's no secret..

Parker and Pau doing what we expect, Green's confidence is completely gone and Murray's struggles will be ignored on this forum:lol

[Arcadian]

Denver got this

[gambit1990]

kawhy?

Murray was pretty awful on both ends. Pop even put him in for a bit in the second half only to immediately pull him when Fox lost him on a screen and nailed a three. The fact Mills played 37 mins says enough.

[Ron Swanson]

Denver up 4 with 30 seconds left.

[Robz4000]

Can't see the Spurs winning that final game at NO, but if they do and Portland loses out they can get the fourth seed.

[Ron Swanson]

Denver wins

[spurraider21]

:lol you're lucky I don't bet against the Spurs
:lol

[Robz4000]

:lol

Never bet against the Spurs :toast

[Robz4000]

:lol Anthony Davis just shut down the Staples Center for the year

Seriously glad the Spurs don't have their playoff lives at stake against these guys Wed. They look ready to roll for the postseason.

[Arcadian]

Fucking Clippers.

[TheDoctor]

if Tony wasn't playing White would be... so not better than that.

Kawhi's not playing so he aint better than anybody.

[TheDoctor]

A WNBA player has more balls than Kawhi, tbh.

The spirit of Kawhi's father has even more balls than him tbqh

[Robz4000]

Fucking Clippers.

This is good news. Pelicans won't be as motivated with their playoff spot clinched. Might even sit AD Wednesday, though I doubt it since they play the Spurs :lol.

[HarlemHeat37]

This is good news. Pelicans won't be as motivated with their playoff spot clinched. Might even sit AD Wednesday, though I doubt it since they play the Spurs :lol.

Why would they? I haven't looked into the tiebreakers yet, but they'll be motivated to avoid Houston and GS..

They're limited in talent and scheme, but at least Davis will be the best player on the floor against anybody in the middle seeds..

[Play Boban]

It'll come down to whether they wanna play a red-hot Utah team or the Dubs without Curry (and Thompson looking nowhere near 100%) it looks like. OKC plays Memphis at home for their final game and owns the tiebreaker over them IIRC. If they beat the Spurs they fall to 6th regardless.

Ya, I think it's too difficult to scheme, tbh..if Utah wins out, they're 3rd regardless..

Then you have all the multi-team tiebreaker scenarios..IMO, we'll see all these teams going hard in their final games..

[Robz4000]

Spurs are gonna end up 7th and facing the Dubs. On the plus side they don't look anywhere near 100%, but the Spurs are absolutely terrible on the road. Can't see it going past 5 games unless the Spurs flip some switch.

[TheDoctor]

I agree :tu

[Robz4000]

Actually shit, I think they fall to 8. Denver looks primed to knock Minny out and they have the tiebreaker over SA.

[LakerHater]

No playoff NBA in LA!

[YGWHI]

The spirit of Kawhi's father has even more balls than him tbqh
Damn...This is low even for you, Doc.

[Fireball]

ah, these tanking teams ... giving 120% for three quarters and 50%max in the fourth ... another good performance from Manu!

[spursistan]

Unless we find out the team has asked Kawhi not to be present for some reason, then screw Kawhi.. Team fightin' for the playoffs and isn't even in the house. Enjoy your checks Kawhi.
Damn, even my billy took off the gloves..:wow

What a disgraceful act man..Honestly if they get a really good offer, they should move on from him in the summer. I don't think he's worth it.

[TheDoctor]

Damn...This is low even for you, Doc.
I don’t hold grudges w/ the dead (or the living) nor dig in cementeries at night. So I’m good w/ Kawhi’s papa :tu
