Oh shit, they're recognizing our true star..Forbes the thunderbolt, the insecure assassin, "not Patty Mills"

[Fireball]

I want a win on the road tbh ... this will be a tough season as many West teams seem to be good enough to roast our defense ... not only Portland, GS or Houston

[r0drig0lac]

sad to say, but the lakers are favorites, last season they had a much worse team and they still beat SA a few times, they are very athletic for SA, it's going to be a very hard game

[RC_Drunkford]

If Pop has any Basketball sense left he will let the Aldridge/Gasol combo destroy them and post up LA on LeBron every time. Sadly he even forgot to do it against the Blazers. As bad as Gasol is, him and Aldridge can still destroy a lot of teams, especially if they have a weak PF like Melo, Aminu, etc.
These are the match ups where going big actually works. I was surprised they didn't play like that in Portland

They have plenty of ego and legit nutjobs. I hope that works against them.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Javale will probably have a career night

[BatManu20]

No Ingram or Rondo. I don’t want LA’s first win of the season coming against us. Hope our guys show up tonight.

[BatManu20]

[BatManu20]

Javale will probably have a career night

He’s actually been really good for them defensively.

[superbigtime]

Oh shit, they're recognizing our true star..Forbes the thunderbolt, the insecure assassin, "not Patty Mills"

lol the fan in the grey/white background looks like Bryn when he misses his shot.

[K...]

Bump

[John B]

Don’t get sucked up in the fast pace. walk it, pound in the paint and control the tempo. GSG :flag::flag:

[spurs10]

Look forward to this. They are playing again in SA on Saturday. They got this!
:flag:

[Chinook]

:lol at the mods stickying the injury thread even though this one is older.

[exstatic]

:lol at the mods stickying the injury thread even though this one is older.

No shit. The Riga time is also incorrect on the other one.

[skookumchuck]

:lol at the mods stickying the injury thread even though this one is older.
Some one could've died with that Riga time.

[RD2191]

Easy win...for the Lakers tbh

[spurraider21]

Spurs by 20+ tbh

[Mugen]

Holy shit, this is a Pick 'Em? Easy money on this as the Lakers should win comfortably tbh.

[cd98]

1054402270446514181

Jabari disappointed that he has to wait a year before he can move to L.A.

[cd98]

Easy win...for the Lakers tbh

Agreed. Lebron isn't going 0-3 and the Spurs are exactly the kind of team that he can beat as a one man wrecking crew.

[RC_Drunkford]

Jabari disappointed that he has to wait a year before he can move to L.A.

He tried to debate with me on reddit defending himself with his burner account :lol

[Mirrornick]

DeRozan revenge game.

[DAF86]

With Rondo and Ingram out, the Lakers will be forced to actually play shooters around Lebron. Fuck our luck.

[skookumchuck]

With Rondo and Ingram out, the Lakers will be forced to actually play shooters around Lebron. Fuck our luck.
Yeah, but have they any?

[DAF86]

Yeah, but have they any?

Hart, for once, will get more minutes. That already makes them better.

[skookumchuck]

Hart, for once, will get more minutes. That already makes them better.
Okay, so Hart, Kuzma and that Ukrainian kid. That's about it. Not too convincing.

[DAF86]

Okay, so Hart, Kuzma and that Ukrainian kid. That's about it. Not too convincing.

Better than if they had Rondo out there, tbh.

The Lakers could have been a good fit for this Spurs team. Just pack the paint and let them brick away. Now they have a couple guys that can make you pay.

[skookumchuck]

Better than if they had Rondo out there, tbh.

The Lakers could have been a good fit for this Spurs team. Just pack the paint and let them brick away. Now they have a couple guys that can make you pay.

If in terms of Rondo - sure. But, Lonzo might try too much in the starting role. Might benefit us.

[Mugen]

Better than if they had Rondo out there, tbh.

The Lakers could have been a good fit for this Spurs team. Just pack the paint and let them brick away. Now they have a couple guys that can make you pay.

:lol Rondo would put up 30 with Fatty and Brynn guarding him.

Doesn't matter who's out there, any team should be able to light the Spurs up for a 110+ on any given night....especially on the road tbh.

[DAF86]

:lol Rondo would put up 30 with Fatty and Brynn guarding him.

Not if the Spurs play it smart and just pack the paint. Just give him all the room he wants to shoot jumpers, back the fuck off. No matter how much your opponent sucks on defense, if he gives you 10 feet of cushion and it's waiting for you with two bigmen covering his back, it will be hard for you to get past him.

[Keepin' it real]

Rondo was asked how he felt about being suspended. Here's a clip of his reply.

lebron wants a win so he's just going to shoot the ball at a high clip tonight, hang 40 on the spurs and get the lakers their first win.

[SAGirl]

Patty gets uglier and uglier tbh.

[RD2191]

Patty gets uglier and uglier tbh.

Are we talking looks or basketball?

[SAGirl]

Are we talking looks or basketball?
:lol both.

[Mirrornick]

lebron wants a win so he's just going to shoot the ball at a high clip tonight, hang 40 on the spurs and get the lakers their first win.

I'd give DeMar the better chance to score 40 tonight. Who on Lakers can guard DeKobe?

[Dverde]

I'd give DeMar the better chance to score 40 tonight. Who on Lakers can guard DeKobe?

Who on the Spurs can guard Lebron? Dante Cunningham?

[spurs10]

I'd give DeMar the better chance to score 40 tonight. Who on Lakers can guard DeKobe? "DeKobe" ....nice! Going to be a great game!!

[r0drig0lac]

Who on the Spurs can guard Lebron? Dante Cunningham?

[Fusternino]

Got the fuboTV 7 day free trial just to see this game . . .

[BatManu20]

Aldridge is gonna the struggle against McGee, me thinks. He is long and athletic and he defends the rim pretty well. I see LMA living out on the perimeter tonight

[BatManu20]

In other news, Kawhi beasting the hornets at home.

[Laker_1995]

Game day my niggas!!!!!!. This is my new favorite forum lmao some funny mother fuckers here

[ducks]

Patty gets uglier and uglier tbh.

you not marry him?

[SpurPadre]

The game is over Charlotte, might as well clip Leonard in the knee, right? Come on, fuckheads! Do it!

[gambit1990]

lebron is the goat.

[BatManu20]

Daunte Cunningham starting tonight instead of Poeltl... we’re doomed.

[K...]

lebron is the goat.

and yet we've beaten his ass.

[DAF86]

Aldridge is gonna the struggle against McGee, me thinks. He is long and athletic and he defends the rim pretty well. I see LMA living out on the perimeter tonight

If LA uses his pump fake he will make McGee foul-out in 15 minutes.

[Immortal Spur]

The game is over Charlotte, might as well clip Leonard in the knee, right? Come on, fuckheads! Do it!
watch your tongue bro, we don't need any more bad karma around here.

[Hoops Czar]

If LA uses his pump fake he will make McGee foul-out in 15 minutes.

If LMA settles for nothing but 15 foot jumpers, McGee won't even have to defend him.

[SpurPadre]

DD has outscored Kawhi through two games. The bitch ended up with 22 tonight. DD will raise that, tbh.

[SpurPadre]

watch your tongue bro, we don't need any more bad karma around here.

I'm not Amused, tbh.

[SpurPadre]

Can we trade Poetl back to Toronto and get LDN back please? Shit, I'd even give them back that first pick we got.

[therealtruth]

DD has outscored Kawhi through two games. The bitch ended up with 22 tonight. DD will raise that, tbh.

I agree the Spurs won the trade.

[SpurPadre]

I agree the Spurs won the trade.

No, LDN>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Jakob Bonner

[TimDunkem]

:lmao @ Anyone who believes that the Spurs won this trade.

[TheGreatYacht]

:lmao @ Anyone who believes that the Spurs won this trade.
Raybies must've told his estrogen filled buddies over at Reddit that registration here was open, tbh..

[Mirrornick]

Both teams won this trade, which is what makes it special.

[K...]

:lmao @ Anyone who believes that the Spurs won this trade.

I legitimately think Kawhi will never try hard on defense again. WE hove kobe light derozan and kobe light Kawhi. Take your pick between SG, and SF.

[SpurPadre]

Both teams won this trade, which is what makes it special.

At least LDN is producing for them too. What the fuck is Poodle doing other than make us wonder why his last name isn't pronounced the way it's spelled?

[monkeypunk]

The game is over Charlotte, might as well clip Leonard in the knee, right? Come on, fuckheads! Do it!

Damn, dude.

[r0drig0lac]

I agree the Spurs won the trade.

repeating this 1000x times will not make it real

[TheGreatYacht]

The game is over Charlotte, might as well clip Leonard in the knee, right? Come on, fuckheads! Do it!
Cmon man. This is why we have 3 cripples on the team without even counting Rudy.

[DAF86]

Is Dante Cunningham the new centerpiece?

[Russ]

The Spurs studio show somehow gets worse each year . . .

[Ron Swanson]

:flag:

[Mugen]

Hopefully LA gets his shot back tonight tbh.

[SpurPadre]

Cmon man. This is why we have 3 cripples on the team without even counting Rudy.

I can't help it. I'm pissed that we're stuck with another scrub Bonner lookalike.

[marinoman]

Forget derozan and kawhi
but green >>> Jacob. Don’t get what spurs saw in a non shooting foul machine center. He’s no capela in pick n roll either

[BillMc]

Spurs by 5

[BillMc]

God start the game already....

[james evans]

Cunningham starting at the 4? goddamn Popovich isn't wasting any time to start throwing games this season

[r0drig0lac]

Ball like curry

[bklynspursfan]

Spurs by 5

:tu i was thinking Spurs by 8. As long as it's Spurs by something.

[KDKSpurs24]

Damn LMA you don’t have to swipe at the ball he’s gonna probably miss it anyway if you put your hands up..

[NASpurs]

Cunningham starting at the 4? goddamn Popovich isn't wasting any time to start throwing games this season

Just Pop the GM with shitty personnel. We didn’t address the SF position defensively unless you count Rudy I guess. shrugs

[Chomag]

Just tuned in ..WTF why the hell is Cunningham in the starting line up? Seriously..

[r0drig0lac]

Demar again

[Leetonidas]

Demar is so smooth

[r0drig0lac]

Just tuned in ..WTF why the hell is Cunningham in the starting line up? Seriously..

better than Jakob

[Leetonidas]

Lol why does McGee always own LMA

[Chomag]

I think we should nickname Cunningham Centerpiece 2.0

[james evans]

yeah, blow these mfers out

[Mr. Body]

Jesus, how does Ball have the green light to shoot threes?

[james evans]

Lol why does McGee always own LMA
got this mf looking like Hakeem early lol

[RD2191]

DD bank

[r0drig0lac]

great start

[Leetonidas]

Spurs are on fire :lol

[Darius Bieber]

LeBron just doing Coach Pop a solid tbh.

[NASpurs]

I don’t care what happens in the season just as long the Spurs sweep the season series with the Fakers :lol

[cjw]

My god the Lakers can’t shoot. Pop forcing them to make shots should be every team’s blueprint.

[Fusternino]

Aldridge with the early foul trouble. Dante with the shutdown D on LeGM.

[Mirrornick]

Dekobe is going to be an mvp candidate

[r0drig0lac]

the change seems to have worked but I still want to see Derozan and Aldridge playing with three wings (maybe Gay, Dante and Bertans), I think it would be the best way to throw something close to modern basketball with the roster available

[BillMc]

:tu i was thinking Spurs by 8. As long as it's Spurs by something.

Amen bro. 1 to 100, I'll take it.

[TheGreatYacht]

Cunningham is playing out of his mind. Either that or Lebron is coasting :lol

[Immortal Spur]

Great start so far

[TheGreatYacht]

Dekobe is going to be an mvp candidate
I can see why y'all loved him, he's carrying out squad already

[sananspursfan21]

Dante Cunningham looks, dare I say, like an NBA player? So far, he’s moving the needle a centimeter or two

[marinoman]

I know it’s early but is Cunningham actually playing well?

[in2deep]

Reminds me of that game in LA round 2 playoffs after a game 7 win in NO.

we were this hot and jumped to a 14 pt lead. Only to lose it at the end and lose the series

[r0drig0lac]

2014 gm3 finals flashback %

[NASpurs]

Spurs win this shit going away and Cunningham will start for the rest of the season :lol

[Mr. Body]

Lakers are trash from the outside. Their defense is pretty bad so far.

[RD2191]

Time for Beasley to drop 20 on us.

[r0drig0lac]

Lebron is unreal

[K...]

byrn with a lazy shot

[Mr. Body]

And then some shit defense by the Spurs.

[RD2191]

Choking like clockwork :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

They're going to Golden State Warrior us. Fuckers playing with their food

[KDKSpurs24]

Rudy knows how to score but seems to have a terrible Basketball IQ when it comes to other things...

[BatManu20]

God Bryn just absolutely kills us defensively

[BillMc]

Do the NBA TV idiots ever talk about the Spurs? LA LA LA LA >....

[NASpurs]

Choking like clockwork :lol

Just you wait until Tank Commander Patty Mills is in the game.

[K...]

Lebron is unreal

7 0-4 0-2 0-0 0 1 1 4 1 0 0 0 -11 0

[TheGreatYacht]

Just you wait until Tank Commander Patty Mills is in the game.
God damn it I forgot that aboriginal piece of shit is due for 25-30 minutes

[Aussiespursfan]

The bum Michael Beasley is guarding LA. Pass him the ball in the post every possession!

[spurs1990]

I know they're making basically all of them but it's tough watching this all-jump shot offense

[bayareaspursfan]

anybody with a stream?

[RD2191]

Just you wait until Tank Commander Patty Mills is in the game.

:lol

[DAF86]

Why taking out both DeRozan and Aldridge at the same time with 5 minutes to go?

[FaM0us Skins]

DeRozan is on fire

[DAF86]

Why taking out both DeRozan and Aldridge at the same time with 5 minutes to go?

Nevermind.

[K...]

iso ball is sweet

[Leetonidas]

HOTS :worthy:

[Cry Havoc]

DeRozan's passing is fucking incredible. This guy is a legit monster.

[in2deep]

anybody with a stream?

Roja

directa

[r0drig0lac]

7 0-4 0-2 0-0 0 1 1 4 1 0 0 0 -11 0

yep, Lebron is trash....

[bklynspursfan]

DeRozan's passing is fucking incredible. This guy is a legit monster.

Seriously. So much better than I thought he was in that regard.

[DAF86]

Ball with 2 3's already. Of course it was gonna be against us. :facepalm

[RD2191]

Ball killing us

[RD2191]

Patty looking like predator out there.

[Leetonidas]

Mills and Forbes in :vomit:

[r0drig0lac]

Marco!!!!

[K...]

patty can't even make free throws?!?!?! BUM

[YGWHI]

I'd give DeMar the better chance to score 40 tonight. Who on Lakers can guard DeKobe?
Just read this before the game. I'd say he can drop 50 tonight easily

[Cry Havoc]

MARCO

[DAF86]

It really isn't that difficult to stagger the minutes of Aldridge and DeRozan, tbh.

[Cry Havoc]

Game grades probably coming :tu

[Arcadian]

God, it's nice having someone who can make a pullup 3 on the break. How refreshing!

[NASpurs]

Good to see LMA and DDR laughing on the bench

[Cry Havoc]

Beasley has no idea how to move his feet to establish defensive position.

[bklynspursfan]

It really isn't that difficult to stagger the minutes of Aldridge and DeRozan, tbh.

I guess the big lead gives some cushion lol. It does seem like DD so far plays more in the first solo, and LMA to start the 2nd.

[K...]

intersting poetl didn't play yet

[r0drig0lac]

bg

[bklynspursfan]

That ball movement

[spurs1990]

Got a nice UN lineup here with Gasoft, Patty, Belli, and Bertans

[Cry Havoc]

Oh my god that was reminiscent of the beautiful game. FLAWLESS passing.

[NASpurs]

Spurs on pace to 160.

[RD2191]

Lakers will get back in it.

[K...]

gasol is the best player out there now, which is crap for both teams

[TheGreatYacht]

This Lakers D is making our bench look like The Warriors' G-League team :wow

[Fusternino]

NBA TV announcers are literally terrible.

[K...]

man it would be cool if the spurs could apply offensive pressure in all 4 quarters.

[Aussiespursfan]

It’s because he’s hot garbage!

[BillMc]

So far so good.

[Indianman]

MVPatty lol

[spurs10]

On track to score 160..:)

[FaM0us Skins]

Lol the Lakers sacrificed everything to get Lebron and still have a incomplete team

[NASpurs]

Here comes the Lakers

[bklynspursfan]

DD on Pace for 16 assists

[TheGreatYacht]

Here comes the midget tandem... and crater face won't do a damn thing about them

[RD2191]

Spurms:lmao

[Cry Havoc]

Mills to Beli. Pretty.

[r0drig0lac]

no aldridge or demar? forbes and mills in the court? ok Pop

[FaM0us Skins]

Good pass MVPatty

[Cry Havoc]

The other team hits 3 shots, and half of Spurs talk walks to the ledge and looks down.

You fucking guys. :lmao

[K...]

forbes sucks this game. i wonder if he gets tired

[r0drig0lac]

Lol the Lakers sacrificed everything to get Lebron and still have a incomplete team

?

[TheGreatYacht]

McGee anal raping our Spanish ostrich as per usual

[K...]

they baling out the king cuz the king sucks

[DAF86]

Just like that, single digits game. And Aldridge glued to the bench since there were 5 minutes left in the 1st quarter.

[TDMVPDPOY]

wtf does mills have the green light to chuck...

[KDKSpurs24]

Wtf Pop put LMA back in the game now. This current lineup is trash.

[james evans]

every time we get a big lead, popovich starts getting cute with the lineups. Every goddamn time

[K...]

patty only good at falling down now

[Leetonidas]

Big guns back in

[DAF86]

every time we get a big lead, popovich starts getting cute with the lineups. Every goddamn time

Pretty much.

[r0drig0lac]

block by gay

[NASpurs]

Gay on both sides :wow

[Leetonidas]

Rudy :wow

[bklynspursfan]

Got Dam Rudy.. love it

[Budkin]

every time we get a big lead, popovich starts getting cute with the lineups. Every goddamn time

He’s been like this forever.

[TheGreatYacht]

Fatrick with 2 fouls in 1 second

[Robz4000]

Refs stepping up for LA.

[Budkin]

Got Dam Rudy.. love it

[YGWHI]

Lakers will get back in it.
Nah. I told you so...They're just a non-playoffs circus. Spurs +10

[TimDunkem]

Impressive sequence from Rudy.

[TDMVPDPOY]

paty mills corporate culture = art of war, divide and conquer, now he gets to chuck up shots cause t heres no alpha on the team....

[Spurs fever]

In the penalty...

[james evans]

well the refs doing what they do for the lakers

[marinoman]

Faggot patty

[r0drig0lac]

lmao

[Robz4000]

Spurs starting right where they left off last season blowing large leads.

[heyheymymy]

Damn lebron is 1/7

[NASpurs]

‘Twas pretty good defense. Too bad.

[TheGreatYacht]

They have SIXTEEN points in FOUR minutes.

The midget tandem, yall.

[K...]

spurs suck

[BatManu20]

Yea we're prob losing this game. Just way too many defensive liabilities. Team's pick it apart so easily it's laughable

[SpurPadre]

Spurs starting right where they left off last season blowing large leads.

This has been a staple in the Pop era, even when The Big 3 were in their primes, tbh.

[K...]

Spurs starting right where they left off last season blowing large leads.

20 pts isn't a large lead these days

[KDKSpurs24]

Omg Cunningham has lead feet and can’t even put himself in correct position defensively. Looks like he’s even struggling mentally to gauge where he needs to be when guarding Lebron..

[Robz4000]

This has been a staple in the Pop era, even when The Big 3 were in their primes, tbh.

True, but last year it seemed to happen every week.

[007nites]

Yea we're prob losing this game. Just way too many defensive liabilities. Team's pick it apart so easily it's laughable

I feel it coming.

[Indianman]

I don't understand Cunningham's role or need in the team. Blossomgame would have been so much better..

[sasaint]

This has been a staple in the Pop era, even when The Big 3 were in their primes, tbh.

Yeah, but back then the Spurs had the skill, experience and poise to still pull out those games.

[DMC]

Pawty Mills, pawing at the ball handler... taking the shot... Jesus the Spurs are so fucked.

[Arcadian]

That was a 5-point swing, lol

[sasaint]

:lol Lukey getting his panties in a wad over a routine missed call in the NBA.

[K...]

lebron melt down per par

[007nites]

DDR with the imaginary daps

[Cry Havoc]

I don't understand Cunningham's role or need in the team. Blossomgame would have been so much better..

Sarcasm, right?

[Immortal Spur]

lol Bryn the goat

[r0drig0lac]

cmon aldridge

[NASpurs]

I don't understand Cunningham's role or need in the team. Blossomgame would have been so much better..

He fills that over himself vet role that Pop gets a boner for.

[Robz4000]

Might be time to bench LMA. He's providing nothing tonight.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Fuck this midrange bullshit Jesus Christ

[vander]

Bryn gettin those superstar calls on Lebron lol

[RD2191]

LMA is a fukin bum. Trade that pos.

[bklynspursfan]

Nice effort by Cunningham. LMA has to get back, he's gotta be a bit more assertive offensively. Just kinda going with the flow

[K...]

MCgee is the laker's MVP

[james evans]

aldridge looks like he doesnt even want to be here.

[SpurPadre]

McGee makes free throws now? Since when?!

[r0drig0lac]

forbes........

[Robz4000]

:lol this team is so fucked

[sasaint]

Forbes...

[TDMVPDPOY]

the spurs new centerpiece...... hahhahaha fkn good for nothing 6fouls

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Such a shit team

LMA is overrated as hell

[NASpurs]

Bryanne shits on himself on one end and the Lakers capitalize on the other.

[RD2191]

Spurs :lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

Lamarsha when there's a first option other than him :lmao

[KDKSpurs24]

Wtf Bryn.. why did he just watch his shot instead of trying to follow up and grab the rebound?!

[james evans]

i blame this on popovich. We jumped out to a big lead and he says "hmm, we'ere winning by too much, let's allow them to get back in the game". Just horrible.

[sasaint]

aldridge looks like he doesnt even want to be here.

He doesn't.

[mikec]

LMA cashing in his check and wants to get the F out of town LOL.

[Jay.From.NbTx]

Mcgee outplaying LMA per par tbh

[r0drig0lac]

Aldridge needs to be aggressive and play on the low post, or else provide only screens for Derozan, this mid-range is only giving the lakers extra possessions

[007nites]

Forbes trying to hero it

[RD2191]

Such a shit team

LMA is overrated as hell

I've hated him since day 1. Check my threads. Dude is a scrub.

[SpurPadre]

This kinda reminds me of that game against the Dubs last year or the year before where we were up by 20 against them in the 2nd quarter only to lose by like 30 lol.

[Aussiespursfan]

Why does LA shot so many mid range shots!

[007nites]

Rather have DDR play mid-range and Aldridge low post. All he needs to do is through up a few pump fakes and McGee would bite.

[TheGreatYacht]

This kinda reminds me of that game against the Dubs last year or the year before where we were up by 20 against them in the 2nd quarter only to lose by like 30 lol.
I called it.

[TDMVPDPOY]

this team is a joke ass team with full roster

too many mental midgets who love to chuck

fkn lma pass him the ball and u never see it back for a better shot, when he shoots, theres not a rebounder down low in sight...

forbes and mills = pos
