Spurs/Warriors Game 4 - Sunday 3:30 CST Official Thread - Win/win

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Not until the fourth.
Even then he's starting to focus in. Spurs better get locked and loaded cause a storm is brewing

[Keepin' it real]

Sure would have been nice to have Kenwi Leanord on Durant.

[Spurtacular]

Green raked Manu across the arm. That should've been his fourth foul. It wasn't even a hard call.

[HarlemHeat37]

I thought SA would definitely win a game in this series, but never would have believed that it would be in a game where Aldridge isn't playing great:lol

[ace3g]

Why is Patty guarding Klay again...

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

I thought SA would definitely win a game in this series, but never would have believed that it would be in a game where Aldridge isn't playing great:lol
Subliminal CIA Poop scheming tbqh

[objective]

Why is Patty guarding Klay again...

$$$$

[Spurtacular]

Manu has a rookie on him; don't overthink and just step back and make the damn 3.

[testies]

Fathead STOP REACHING you fucking imbecile

[SASdynasty!]

Anderson is the absolute worst man. Bad pick...move on.

[Proxy]

is kyle retarded

[Chomag]

Stupid fathead

[TheGreatYacht]

Hopefully this series puts away the myth that Kyle is a good defender :lol...

[objective]

West is on a minimum

Clown Gasol still has $23 million coming to him

:lol: loyalty

[sasaint]

Manu has a rookie on him; don't overthink and just step back and make the damn 3.

Me - I liked the forced underhand scoop. :rolleyes

[testies]

Lol game over

[Darius Bieber]

Warriors win the quarter by 8 lmao

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

What the fuck does the coaching staff see in fat head. Dude is worthless tbqh. Just get White in the game and blow it up

[BatManu20]

LaMarcus playing soft again. Get your ass int he paint and dominate son. If they double, kick it out.

[bklynspursfan]

Not a great quarter, but could've been worse. Still in good shape, but need to get some more energy plays and get the crowd back into it

[Darius Bieber]

Last quarter of Spurs basketball for this season, thank God.

[Proxy]

GS is about to up their defense

[Chomag]

Hope we don't go out like this....

[DMC]

Danny Green's offense has become pure shit. Not even any peanuts or corn, just shit. It's not a slump.

[HarlemHeat37]

Ugh, we know how this movie is going to end:lol

[Rummpd]

Warriors just more talented by far

[gambit1990]

spurs 10/15 from the FT line, warriors 9/10.

[Robz4000]

Spurs will be lucky if they don't lose by 15+ at this point. What a horribly played third quarter.

[TheGreatYacht]

West is on a minimum

Clown Gasol still has $23 million coming to him

:lol: loyalty
$32,000,000 iirc

[KimmyGib]

bad end to the quarter starting with Parker's awful 2-for-1 attempt

[Spurtacular]

What the fuck does the coaching staff see in fat head. Dude is worthless tbqh. Just get White in the game and blow it up

Spurs not smart enough to run a second defender at Durant on the ISO.

[bbarry]

Spurs shooting the ball pretty well today but only up 6 pts to start the 4th. yikes

[Gagnrath]

I agree that this wasn't a good quarter for the Spurs and the tech was a bit of home cooking, but wow do the warriors get moving screens, push-offs and reaching in just constantly ignored....

[Proxy]

hopefully the refs stay on our side for the rest of the game

[Horse]

Shame these pussys still need so much ref help

[SASdynasty!]

What the fuck does the coaching staff see in fat head. Dude is worthless tbqh. Just get White in the game and blow it up
At this point I honestly think they aren’t willing to admit they made a bad pick.

[hoopdreams11]

Why are we playing Pau if he does not want to play his defense is terrible

[Play Boban]

Danny Green's offense has become pure shit. Not even any peanuts or corn, just shit. It's not a slump.
It makes me sick how overrated he’s been for so long now. He should have stayed pinned on the end of the bench on LeBron’s Cavaliers tbh. What a joke.

[SASdynasty!]

Why doesn’t anyone box out anymore?

[Horse]

Worriers in the bonus almost 8 minutes the refs are not on Our side!

[Spurtacular]

"DPOY" donkey couldn't do nothing but take that J in fugly face.

[Play Boban]

Why doesn’t anyone box out anymore?
:cry

[szkorhetz]

Rudy for the rescue!

[Spurtacular]

Why doesn’t anyone box out anymore?

Murray does. I saw him box out a big who was not his man from 17 feet away.

[BatManu20]

Ugh, we know how this movie is going to end:lol

Tbh

[007nites]

Last quarter of Spurs basketball for this season, thank God.

fuck it we are winning this

[BatManu20]

Great Defense Danny

[007nites]

Ball movement with Porker

[ace3g]

Anytime we gain a bit of momentum, they come right back and score easy baskets...

[BatManu20]

Kyle is having a really bad game defensively.

[testies]

Pau defending PnR is fucking absurdlu shit

[TheGreatYacht]

Offense is a thing a beauty with HOTS at the wheel

[SASdynasty!]

Porker smh

[BatManu20]

Lmao Tony this is no time for no-look passes... smh. Another turnover.

[Play Boban]

Porker in full on hero mode, looking off open teammates, etc.

[Rummpd]

I hate Durant

[SASdynasty!]

This team hacks so bad

[Thebesteva]

Second round starts next weekend regardless if the Dubs win today or Tuesday. If he let's this go on longer he puts undue fatigue on his players.


Ah ok that’s why I was wondering if they delay it if it went loger or not. My bad

[HarlemHeat37]

Quin Cook is so bad:lol he has the easiest role in the NBA outside of Warriors Cs and Houston's shooters, yet he still sucks..

[Rummpd]

Game over spurs cannot rebound

[bklynspursfan]

Gay was definitely fouled :lol

Nice job refs

[Darius Bieber]

It's been a good season boys, this one's over

[SuperCam]

spurms are done tbh

[Spurtacular]

Gay raked across the arm; no foul. Momentum to GS. Script being followed.

[Rummpd]

Game and series

[phxspurfan]

Refs doing ref things

[SASdynasty!]

We get hacked by 4 players across the lane at one end...breathe on FT35 and he’s back on the line

[TheGreatYacht]

Rudy has the same handle Stephen Jackson had in 2013. Terrible

[Play Boban]

Porker -8...worst on the team tbh.......... :wakeup

[Robz4000]

It's been a good season boys, this one's over

Define 'good'.

[DPG21920]

The turnovers in the 2nd half have been killer. Every time SA had a chance to expand the lead, they turn it over. It’s brutal. Have to play clean the rest of the way.

[UZER]

If the Spurs lose this game, the entire momentum swung on Tony Stricklands no-look over the head pass to Pau. :lol

[twincam]

The real Spurs have finally arrived. End it already.

[SpurPadre]

Still mad?

Yes I am.

[weebo]

Looks like the refs have money on the gsw

[UNT Eagles 2016]

gaymond at it again

[FkLA]

How are you that good and choose to join a 73 win team smh? If I'm that good I take them down.

[Play Boban]

I don’t know what I might do if we lose this game tbh.

[Barfunk]

What the fuck where is the damn quote

[KimmyGib]

excellent play out of the time out

[Keepin' it real]

Sure would have been nice to have Kenwi Leanord on Durant.

[phxspurfan]

team needs some Mills 3s

[MVPCues]

Wow.

[r0drig0lac]

WOW

[phxspurfan]

:lol or that

[Ron Swanson]

Holy shit

[sasaint]

If the Spurs lose this game, the entire momentum swung on Tony Stricklands no-look over the head pass to Pau. :lol

Nah. Definitely hurt, but momentum has been slipping away most of this half.

[objective]

$32,000,000 iirc

Only $23.5 million guaranteed though

Good job RC!

[ace3g]

lol LA with the bank 3 at the top of the key

[bklynspursfan]

We earned that bank 3. Need a stop out of this Timeout now

[BatManu20]

Lol Aldridge trash-bank. We were overdue for a break. A couple more would be nice.

Its sad thats the biggest shot in Lamarcus Spurs career :lmao

I just dont wanna get swept

[Gagnrath]

Screw it keep running Manu at Draymond till either Green fouls out or it becomes so obvious that a warriors final isn't allowed to be unscripted.

[SPURt]

Damn!!!! LMA with the prayer! Biggest shot of his career, which is a sad statement in regards to his career.

[Play Boban]

Porker goes out and the Spurs fo on a run. Imagine that. :wakeup

[bklynspursfan]

Nah. Definitely hurt, but momentum has been slipping away most of this half.

Yup. And it was bound to happen, we just had to be able to respond.

[HarlemHeat37]

:lol the basketball Gods are cruel, why do they want the Spurs to win this game? End the season already..

[gambit1990]

THAT 3!

[BatManu20]

team needs some Mills 3s

They need points however they can get 'em. This offense is in disarray right now.

[SpurPadre]

LMA doing leader things. Take note KaPussy

Cannot make an open shot, but can nail down a circus stunt��

Hoping for a W today, but facing them in GS for game 5 is going to be ugly...

We are 13-25 from 3.

Can't quote a post that only includes a quote.

But I'm assuming you were calling him a beta, weak, bitch, faggot. All of which are true.

[KimmyGib]

in b4 quick durant 3 out of the timeout

[Darius Bieber]

We are 13-25 from 3.

We'd be up 2-1 if we shot like that during the series.

[daslicer]

Hoping for a W today, but facing them in GS for game 5 is going to be ugly...

I rather win this game and then get eliminated at Oracle versus getting eliminated at home.

[bklynspursfan]

Aldridge is 6-17 and somehow we have a lead. It's amazing what defending and hitting 3s can do huh. The attention Aldridge gets has to be capitalized on when he kicks out

[TheGreatYacht]

Go away
:lol...

That was an obvious travel there smfh

Also really bad decision by Gay there, Aldridge had Young on him in the post

[Spurtacular]

Warriors in the penalty? Cos Iggy never actually shot the ball.

[Chomag]

So Iggy slips that's a foul?

If that was gonna be Manu's last game, the motherfucker went out with a vengeance.

Please Spurs coaching staff, you have continue guarding Klay with Dejounte/Danny in Game 5. If Durant beats us by himself, so be it.

Lmao Manu is suck a faker

Please Spurs coaching staff, you have continue guarding Klay with Dejounte/Danny in Game 5. If Durant beats us by himself, so be it.

I doubt they'll be changing that.

Fuck it, I'm drinking next game. Let's do this!

Games are easier to win when you shoot 46%, instead of 40%

[phxspurfan]

Please Spurs coaching staff, you have continue guarding Klay with Dejounte/Danny in Game 5. If Durant beats us by himself, so be it.

that's true, they did a good job on Klay today. So it was all just Durant going full all world on us

[Darius Bieber]

I doubt they'll be changing that.

I actually like Gay on Durant tbh

[bklynspursfan]

I think White was coming in to get Manu his standing O. Didn't happen... But F it, that crowd was loud enough

[SpurPadre]

Most rewarding win since #5 tbh. Fuck you Kawhi

fuck yeah go spurs!
lma and manu came up big in the 4th quarter. all heart!! i love manu!

i'm gonna go fuckin destroy my liver in celebration!!!

[DPG21920]

Awesome win. Don’t care what anyone says, not getting swept is huge. Team has fought and could definitely be a 2-2 series if some shots fell in the first 3 games.

Feels great, and was awesome to see Manu and even TP have solid games in a game like this.

LMA wobbled some but made a Duncan like 3 and then another couple buckets when it mattered.

Eat sh*t GS.

[bklynspursfan]

I actually like Gay on Durant tbh

Yea. He's gotta be the guy cause his length. The old Amare Stoudemire plan, let Durant go 1 on 1, if he goes off so be it. But keep everyone else at Bay (no pun intended) if at all means

[Chomag]

Good to see our guys still with a bit of fight in them

[Robz4000]

Most rewarding win since #5 tbh. Fuck you Kawhi

That Game 5 win against Houston last year was better imo, but this one is second.

[BatManu20]

Manure played his ball off tbqh

Props

Watching our almost 41-year-old legend leave it all out on the floor like that makes me resent Kawhi even more, tbh. whether it's fair or not, I still do.

[CP48107]

I actually like Gay on Durant tbh+1

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Probably gonna lose Game 5 by 20+ but I will take it. And now Pop has to come out of hiding and coach game 5.

[BillMc]

Victory!!!:flag:

(Will Kawhi return now? :lol)

[phxspurfan]

Awesome win. Don’t care what anyone says, not getting swept is huge. Team has fought and could definitely be a 2-2 series if some shots fell in the first 3 games.

LMA wobbled some but made a Duncan like 3 and then another couple buckets when it mattered.

Eat sh*t GS.

was thinking the same thing on both counts. This series could have easily been 2-2 considering how well the Spurs battled in all the games. Good to see them get a home W in the series. Also, the LMA 3 was definitely shades of the Duncan 3 against Phx

[Chomag]

I agree let Durant get his but shut everyone else down

[phxspurfan]

Victory!!!:flag:

(Will Kawhi return now? :lol)

Nope. Manu even called Pop the leader of the team in the postgame. The whole locker room hates Kawhi with a passion now.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

That Game 5 win against Houston last year was better imo, but this one is second.

Game 5 and 6 against Houston, the Game 6 win against the Griz last year as well. :lol Im pumped we won, but cmon with this best win since #5 stuff.

[HI-FI]

Ettore is 1-1

Pop 0-2
I liked the rotation in the 4th. Least Ettore didn’t throw Forbes out there or bench someone when getting hot, just to prove a point.

[SpurPadre]

That Game 5 win against Houston last year was better imo, but this one is second.

Without Pop and with our best player turning bitch...I've gotta agree to disagree tbh. But that was a great win too, of course.

[Barfunk]

If it really is Kawhi avoiding the team, the dude should be sued.

[SpurPadre]

Nope. Manu even called Pop the leader of the team in the postgame. The whole locker room hates Kawhi with a passion now.

KaJudas Leonard has lost the locker room tbh.

[phxspurfan]

I liked the rotation in the 4th. Least Ettore didn’t throw Forbes out there or bench someone when getting hot, just to prove a point.

I caught that too. Forbes warming the bench like he should at this point.

No they don't you dumb faggot.

[phxspurfan]

If it really is Kawhi avoiding the team, the dude should be sued.

I think they're just going to try and figure out a landing spot for him early in the offseason to get back to Spurs Basketball.

Spurs played well but almost gave it away. MANU was unreal. Aldridge was also pretty good. For GS some guy named Durant hit a lot of shots but stopped falling in the 4th. Good win.

[Trainwreck2100]

Looks like the gameplan was let green do what he wants but shut out klay. That rebound differential had to be some kind of record though

The San Antonio Spurs have a pulse. Down 0-2 against the New Orleans Hornets, the Spurs got a home win that they had to get. While the Spurs aren’t healthy quite yet, they took the first step toward recovery tonight.

The Spurs trailed 56-54 at halftime but came out in the third quarter and played very good basketball in the second half. Up two points with nine minutes remaining in the fourth quarter, the Spurs went on an 11-0 run to put the game away. When all was said and done, the Spurs won 110-99 and now trail the Hornets 2-1 in this best of seven series.

The Hornets once again played very well. Chris Paul, although his theatrics were a bit overboard at times, was almost flawless. He had 35 points, nine assists and one turnover, while shooting 15-for-25 from the court. David West (23 points and 12 rebounds) was also very impressive. The Hornets got off to an 8-0 start to the game but seemed to run out of gas a bit in the fourth quarter. Despite the Spurs win, the Hornets showed that they’re very capable of putting up a good fight in San Antonio.

It was good to see the Spurs respond well to the adversity of a must-win situation – especially after they fell into an early hole. The team stayed together and kept chipping away at the rock until they figured it out. It was far from a perfect game by San Antonio, but they got the win.

Overall, things are looking a bit more positive. The Spurs made a lot of adjustments and virtually all of the adjustments ended up working out for the better. There are definitely positives to take out of this contest, however there’s still a long ways to go. Game 3 was about pride and survival. Now the hard part begins.

-Manu Ginobili, who was back in the starting lineup, had a classic Manu Ginobili game. He’s clearly hobbled with who knows what type of injury at the moment, but he fought through it and gave the Spurs everything he had. Ginobili finished with 31 points, six assists and four rebounds, while shooting 11-for-22 from the field. Offensively, he was gigantic for the Spurs. In the pick-and-rolls, he was shredding the Hornets defense. Ginobili also did a very good job of taking care of the ball. He had three quick turnovers to start the game but then never turned the ball over again. Defensively, he did a good job in the halfcourt sets, however his transition defense still needs a lot of work in this series. Overall, I’m very happy and encouraged with how Ginobili played. He cut down on his shaky decisions offensively and instead let the game come to him. Ginobili needs to remain in the starting lineup and keep bringing this type of all-out effort for the Spurs to have a chance at this series.


-Bruce Bowen got his shot against Peja Stojakovic and didn’t disappoint. Stojakovic came into the game with 47 points in the first two games. In Game 3, Bowen held him to eight points. Taking Stojakovic out of this series is extremely vital for the Spurs – and that job falls squarely on Bowen’s shoulders. Offensively, Bowen was also key for San Antonio. He had 12 points on 4-for-11 shooting, including 4-for-9 shooting on three-pointers. Bowen also had two assists, one rebound, one steal and one blocked shot. Bowen needs to keep defending and keep scoring for the Spurs to come out victorious.

-While I want to give Pop a lot of credit for making a number of adjustments in this game, part of me wonders why it took two losses for Pop to see the light. But whatever, I guess better late than never.

After Game 2, I wanted Bowen on Stojakovic. Parker on Paul. Ginobili in the starting lineup. No more Udoka. No more Horry. And more Barry. In Game 3, I got everything except more Barry. I’ll gladly accept five out of six. And truthfully, with the way Finley was playing, I can’t argue with Pop opting for Finley instead of Barry.

Bowen on Stojakovic has a chance to be the series altering adjustment. Although it was an obvious adjustment that a lot of Spurs fans were hoping to see, it was refreshing that Pop wasn’t too stubborn and actually made the switch. Basically, Bowen was born to defend Stojakovic. When Bowen gets his number raised to the rafters one day at the AT&T Center, his highlight-reel will contain footage of him pestering Stojakovic throughout the years. I remain fully confident that Bowen can do a masterful job against the Hornets’ sharpshooter.


In Game 4, I want to see more of the same from Pop. Keep Bowen on Stojakovic as much as possible. Force Paul to have to score 40 points to beat you. Offensively, Pop needs to ensure that Ginobili and Parker keep attacking and the shooters keep shooting with confidence. A large part of the victory for San Antonio was the fact that the team shot 11-for-25 from beyond the arc. Pop needs to keep the best shooters possible on the court to open up things for the Big Three.

The bottomline is the Spurs won the game they had to win. Game 4 is where the Spurs can make this a series again. It’s going to be a tough contest but this team can get it done.

Believe.

If they realize who didn't play in the last 5 minutes...I like Spurs's chances next game.

[YGWHI]

So I'm pulling for a Spurs win for sure.

But if they can't pull it out, then dabom is gone.

Classic Win/Win scenario

I'd love to see OP making "Spurs/Warriors Game 5" thread

[Keepin' it real]

Tony breaking his own records tbh

Tony are an legend!

KD, Durant, and Thompson all played 40+ minutes this game. Regardless of the outcome of the next game, Spurs put a good damper in the Warriors in regards to second-round preparation and fatigue.

That Draymond pick n roll with iggy or Livingston or McGee cutting base line is deadly. Durant will get an easy 15fter if we don't help.
