Brin!

[BlackAndWhite]

Steph Forbes

[phxspurfan]

This Nuggets team is missing Barton, Gary Harris and Millsap crazy. Also Michael Porter Jr and IT who hasn’t played a second this year. They’re going to be legit, youngest team in the NBA.

True, they are missing most of their guys.

[spurs10]

Bullshit foul on White. Thank goodness for the the 3’s.

[JeffDuncan]

Gosh, Forbes hit one. Woowoo

[SPURt]

I’m starting to really like Forbes. Dude is putting it together.

[007nites]

even jaque vaughn aka quincy pondexter got fired up for that one

[phxspurfan]

S-P-U-R-S Spurs!

[Ron Swanson]

POODLE

[Ron Swanson]

POODLE AGAIN

[phxspurfan]

Big Boi Purrtl

[DAF86]

He gets put on skates every play. He's also out of position like every play. And when he ever gets the ball (because his teammates dont trust to give it to him), he fumbles it.

You watching the same game as all of us?

[007nites]

[007nites]

Belleneli from where? Segeen?

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Mills out Spurs blow up lead. We want Walker!!

:lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

How are you in the NBA! And go for a layup like that and miss so bad lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Damn, Danny Green is balling out of his mind

[Ron Swanson]

Beautiful game :wow

[skin27]

We’re playing good defense

[$pursDynasty]

Patty not good enough to start and bench mob plays better without him, put him behind Metu in the rotation.

[Spurs fever]

Bill Land is so corny....

[Robz4000]

Great spurt there. Now finish them off.

[JPB]

The San Antonio blowouters back at it again

[timtonymanu]

https://youtu.be/WoPBApy756c

Still hurts. :cry My all time favorite Spur after Tim and Manu,

[phxspurfan]

You watching the same game as all of us?

re-watch it, and all of the possessions where he's in the game. Or maybe you're too stupid and one of those fans who cheers only when he sees a ball go in a hole.

[anon]

Holy shit. Wave the white flag, Denver.

[Uriel]

Should we hope that this game doesn't turn into a blowout? That could virtually guarantee a loss when we play in Denver next.

[SpurPadre]

Marco is letting his nuts hang, tbh.

[Robz4000]

:lmao refs

[emanueldavidginobili]

Step on their throats so we can see Lonnie!!

[Ron Swanson]

DDR is hitting 3s now

[bklynspursfan]

Step on their throats so we can see Lonnie!!

This

[007nites]

Thats the first 3 I've seen DD make the entire season

[phxspurfan]

Juanito Hernangomez Garciaparra quietly ballin out

[timtonymanu]

I’m starting to really like Forbes. Dude is putting it together.

Get in line behind SpurPadre

[Robz4000]

Choke is on.

[DAF86]

Why only bench LA? Sub everybody out or don't sub anybody.

[phxspurfan]

Pop with the crazy cigar smoker dinner jacket

[Uriel]

:lol This game was over.

[Robz4000]

Why only bench LA? Sin everybody out or don't sub anybody.

At least don't put in Metu.

[$pursDynasty]

Get in line behind SpurPadre (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=29323)
who's getting behind me in the Patty sucks line???

[bklynspursfan]

:lmao refs

[Robz4000]

:lol its happening

[TimmyBuckets]

This game ain't over

[$pursDynasty]

Dabom????

[007nites]

This game ain't over

It ain't over till its over.

[TimmyBuckets]

sub out was early

[SpurPadre]

Get in line behind SpurPadre

My love of Forbes is only eclipsed by my love of Bonner, tbh.

[DAF86]

re-watch it, and all of the possessions where he's in the game. Or maybe you're too stupid and one of those fans who cheers only when he sees a ball go in a hole.

I watch the games and then I go watch the stats to check that the eye test matches what the numbers say. And they do, tbh. Maybe you should do that, tbh.

[007nites]

whose the milf behind pop?

[phxspurfan]

I watch the games and then I go watch the stats to check that the eye test matches what the numbers say. And they do, tbh. Maybe you should do that, tbh.

you're truly special.

[SpurPadre]

who's getting behind me in the Patty sucks line???

The whole team, tbh.

[Robz4000]

:lmao holy shit

[sasaint]

Juanito Hernangomez Garciaparra quietly ballin out

Why have the Spurs never had interest in either of the Hernangomez boys when they hit free agency?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

:lmao Jesus Christ

[Robz4000]

I miss when the Spurs had the level of depth Denver has tbh.

[sasaint]

sub out was early

Yeah, looks like we're gonna hold on, but the finish hasn't been what you'd hope for.

[anon]

The two stars are racing to 30 thinking it's garbage time only for the lead to dwindle on their watch :lol

[TimmyBuckets]

thank god white hit those free throws

[DAF86]

you're truly special.

Dude, you are the only one in here saying White is a bad defender and I'm the special one? :lol

Even the biggest White hater in here will agree that he's a plus defender.

[Robz4000]

:lmao they don't fucking miss

[sasaint]

The Nugs are hitting every 3 here late. Sheesh!

[Ron Swanson]

Shut the fuck up with that McGrady shit, Sean.

[DAF86]

Of course it was White the one that finally got a stop. :lol

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Nuggets could shoot for shit then all of a sudden throwing everything in

[timtonymanu]

White telling Beasley to get the fuck out of here with that T-Mac shit

[phxspurfan]

Those plucky McNuggets

[TimmyBuckets]

White seals it. Love this guy.

[playbonner15]

Beasley becoming T-Mac :lol

[skin27]

Victory!!

[sasaint]

thank god white hit those free throws

I didn't see the whole game, but he has looked very poised in the 4th. Except for a couple of misses on drives to the bucket, he played great.

[SpurPadre]

Terrible finish but beat a good team so it's a good victory to be proud of, tbh.

[Robz4000]

Fuck the Nuggets for that shit. Wanted to see Lonnie get a shot to come in.

[phxspurfan]

White telling Beasley to get the fuck out of here with that T-Mac shit

Beasley not playing that bad for a g-leaguer

[Raven]

huge win

[ralph nyc]

good win.

[TimmyBuckets]

Close call, but good win against a top tier team. We'll lose in Denver, but if we get that on the road, I'll be in bliss.

[DAF86]

Who are we pulling for? Clippers or Kings?

[skin27]

I hope they can pull out a win again in Denver

[BillMc]

Victory:flag:

[Dex]

Terrible finish but beat a good team so it's a good victory to be proud of, tbh.

Eh, a random guy got hot. He was 1-8 in the game before his three straight threes. Congrats on the garbage time buckets, but a loss is still a loss for Denver.

[FkLA]

We are good again. :cry

[Uriel]

So we just beat the #1 team in the West by what should have been double digits. Is the improvement for real now?

[SpurPadre]

Question: would 19 year old TP be treated the same way Walker is being treated by Pop if he came out now?

[TDomination]

I don't care what anyone says that's a great win and officers that this team has undoubtedly turned a corner. Hopefully this team learns how to take this on the road

[bklynspursfan]

Not a bad W, considering Gay struggled. Hopefully he bounces back Friday and we can pull off an upset

[SpurPadre]

So we just beat the #1 team in the West by what should have been double digits. Is the improvement for real now?

At home. We're still a piss poor team on the road, tbh. We need a high seed in the playoffs to stand any chance of making some noise, tbh.

[Degoat]

Good win but the nuggets are missing a lot of their key players, but we are looking a lot better!

[skin27]

Now we have back to back road games against nuggets and clippers. Yikes!!

[Mugen]

:lol thank god they caught Denver with a shitton of injuries...Pop should sit DD and LMA against the Clippers on the b2b tbh.....

[GAustex]

I want what cutwizard is drinking

[JokicParty]

Surprised this was close, but iirc a crippled Spurs team played us fairly close in Denver last year. It's just a weird matchup.

Good game, our group of cripples plays better at home but Friday should go down to the wire.

[phxspurfan]

So we just beat the #1 team in the West by what should have been double digits. Is the improvement for real now?

At home, yes. Pop has also succumbed to all the pressure and finally benched his Centerpiece. He has also had several players emerge with some :lol Today's NBA :lol style lineups. He has also embraced the gimmicky 2-3 or box and 1 zone, and flashed some double teams against certain teams with superstars.

[SpurPadre]

:lol thank god they caught Denver with a shitton of injuries...Pop should sit DD and LMA against the Clippers on the b2b tbh.....

Every team we've played this season can say the same thing about our injuries, tbh.

[marinoman]

Hernangomez was a superstar tonight, whoever needs to get healthy for him to hit the bench I’m cool with

[Amuseddaysleeper]

At home. We're still a piss poor team on the road, tbh. We need a high seed in the playoffs to stand any chance of making some noise, tbh.


Spot on

Bizarro world when a Nuggets fan is talking down to us, lol.

Lma has been garbage on the road, if he plays well we could win, but I expect 5-21

[paperboy77]

Now that was a good win. Pop had an opportunity to sub in Walker around the 2 minute mark bud did not. I gotta say i was getting pretty fired up against that. That was about the only time it was appropriate to bring him in so i guess it worked out. Great win by the good guys. Cannot wait for Friday.

Also, FINALLY... the cammo unis looked fricken nice. Good job on whoever decides on the jerseys. Those dark yellow/tanned ones looked ghetto. These look nice. Silver and Black baby!

[SpurPadre]

Even in their heyday when they had a prime Melo, Nugget fan knew better than to talk down to Spurs fan.

[timtonymanu]

I mean the win is nice but they’re missing key players and we’re just really good at home. If the Spurs are who I think they still are, they’re gonna get blown out in Denver.

[Pavlov]

Question: would 19 year old TP be treated the same way Walker is being treated by Pop if he came out now?No, because TP then was so much better than Lonnie is now.

[BackHome]

Question: would 19 year old TP be treated the same way Walker is being treated by Pop if he came out now?

Tony had played professional ball Walker is a one year one and done college player so don’t compare.

[justinandimcool]

Where are all the Nuggets good players? Lol

Good win all around. Starting to believe.

[alpha_HaZE]

Spurs are playing really well right now, and I hope that we only get better from now on. And again, we are a much better team when LaMarcus scores more than 20 points.

I really like our effort on Defense. Guys are hustling. Seeing Davis grabbing the rebound from Jokic, running on the fast break, and Jokic committing a foul out of frustration was gold!

Don't mind not seeing Lonnie as much, I wish we would give him the Kawhi treatment and have him play 20+ min per game. But, it is not happening. It looks like he is getting the DJ treatment of not playing as much or at all and hopefully will be given the opportunity to play later in the season when he is fully healthy, in good B-ball shape, and especially in rhythm. In other words, let him have some monster games in G-League and then play him.

[Barfunk]

Now that was a good win. Pop had an opportunity to sub in Walker around the 2 minute mark bud did not. I gotta say i was getting pretty fired up against that. That was about the only time it was appropriate to bring him in so i guess it worked out. Great win by the good guys. Cannot wait for Friday.

Also, FINALLY... the cammo unis looked fricken nice. Good job on whoever decides on the jerseys. Those dark yellow/tanned ones looked ghetto. These look nice. Silver and Black baby!

Really hope one day to see the Gervin jerseys in game again. Not sure why they haven't brought em back yet

[Barfunk]

I mean the win is nice but they’re missing key players and we’re just really good at home. If the Spurs are who I think they still are, they’re gonna get blown out in Denver.

I think we get blown out in Denver as well. Here's to hoping reverse jinx.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

Tale of two halves for White. First half was atrocious but his second half was great defensively and his offense came into light (both passing and getting the ball in the hoop) in the 4th quarter. Bertans was rebounding the ball like a machine tonight. And him and Marco are hitting their shots. If Forbes can stop making stupid lazy passes and continue to make his shots then we will be rather dangerous. Assuming Demar and Aldridge play like all stars

[Arcadian]

:toast Great win

[Mugen]

Jakob was really good tonight tbh, can't really stress that enough.

[$pursDynasty]

Patty was really trash tonight tbh, can't really stress that enough, either

[spurs10]

We were victorious!

[HarlemHeat37]

This year's West is one of the strangest conferences I've ever seen in pro sports..it's like 14 above average to good teams, none of them are anything close to great and any of them can beat the other on any given night:lol

[tbdog]

Question: would 19 year old TP be treated the same way Walker is being treated by Pop if he came out now?

The league was different then with less depth. Parker got the start because Daniels was never a point and Pop thought he could make Parker a point.

[BillMc]

We were victorious!
:bobo More to come, my friend.

[hombre]

Spurs are balling.

[Mirrornick]

Demar needs to drop a triple double for once. It's hard to believe that he doesn't have one in his career.

[coachmac87]

:bobo More to come, my friend. Indeed! :bobo

[Fireball]

great win ... what do you guys think about davis playing time with LMA and Demar ... is he wasted there as he only did get one shot i think or is he opening up the game for them by just being there?

[NameLess Scrub]

Gotta give credit to Danny Green and that 3 he made to seal the win.

See after 0:40 secs.

He says "to put the Spurs up 2" after he hits that three haha.

Well, they might as well be called the Spurs of the East.

[Spurtacular]

Good win; but let's not be fooled into thinking that the Nuggets at home is the bar. Though if the Lakers among others are gonna blowout the betas in Oakland, then I don't know anymore...

[DAF86]

The bar for what, winning a championship? Nobody's aiming for that this season, tbh.

Bar for making the playoffs or getting a top 4 seed? Well, then yeah, the Nuggets are a pretty decent parameter, tbh.

Well, as of now, there really isn't that much higher than the Nuggets. Every team, including the Warriors, is very up and down right now.

If the Spurs make it to the second round miraculously, I will consider this season to be a surprising success even if I still want DD and LMA gone.

[spurs10]

If the Spurs make it to the second round miraculously, I will consider this season to be a surprising success even if I still want DD and LMA gone. Especially considering a few weeks ago simply making the playoffs was far from a popular notion.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Especially considering a few weeks ago simply making the playoffs was far from a popular notion.

Exactly. Those back to back 30 point losses were harrowing

[Robz4000]

Especially considering a few weeks ago simply making the playoffs was far from a popular notion.

Still might be a longshot with the schedule yet to come.

[DaBears]

Out of the Blue whichs spurs fans remember when the SPURS had Jack Haley & Dwayne Schintzius ( spelling, I know ) on the team.. Those were the days lol.....

[DaBears]

I remember when i was younger and would be at the club w/ fellas and see Devon Brown & Jaren Jackson all the time locally in SA on most weekends.

[HankChinaski]

I remember collecting the NBA trading cards HOOPS I think with Dwayne in the Spurs jersey with that disgusting mullet emulating some kind of wannabe Ivan Drago in the photo... That's what I remember most. Always those cards an the rod stricklands. I wanted my D.Rob card!

[DaBears]

Had a few of them, Actually for short time period was a big collector, had all players, those Hoops rookie cards.. I recall a player of Denver called Fat lever.

[spurs10]

Exactly. Those back to back 30 point losses were harrowing Well said!


Still might be a longshot with the schedule yet to come. Yeah they still have to play like they mean it! I'm just glad to see them playing like a team.

[spurraider21]

imo we should lock this thread

100% certainty there is going to be confusion and both game threads will be getting bumped
