Game Thread: Spurs vs Raptors — Thurs. (01/03) - 7:00/C (3:00am Riga Time)

[TheGreatYacht]

Easily replaceable Danny doing what he does

[Spurtacular]

This is closest thing to 2014 Finals Game 5 we've seen in last four plus years, tbh.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Looks like whites going to match KL minutes

[SpurPadre]

Marco with the bads

[MoSpur02]

Get Patty out there!

[BatManu20]

Put the starters in Pop. Can’t play the bench the entire game

[r0drig0lac]

Looks like whites going to match KL minutes

dpoy against dpoy, it's normal

[TheRemix]

Beautiful game

[TDomination]

I love that were up of course but of course it makes me super nervous that we lose this lead.

[MoSpur02]

I wanna see Lonnie Walker

[playbonner15]

Need more defensive stops. Cant let Raps chip away at this lead

[playbonner15]

I wanna see Lonnie Walker
A lot of us do :(

[Ozballer]

Green still playing for the Spurs...

[TheRemix]

That unit is trash. No playmaking ability whatsoever

[Indianman]

Green still playing for the Spurs...

Someone get this man a cookie lol

[TimmyBuckets]

Foot on the pedal. Let's go!

[skin27]

I wanna see Lonnie Walker

in garbage time

[r0drig0lac]

That unit is trash. No playmaking ability whatsoever

we need White or Demar on the court

[SpurPadre]

I love that were up of course but of course it makes me super nervous that we lose this lead.

We've seen that script before, tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Green still playing for the Spurs...
Just as awful on the road as he's been the last 4 years.

[timtonymanu]

I love that were up of course but of course it makes me super nervous that we lose this lead.

That Bulls game will always be a reminder

[anon]

Do the Spurs need this W more than Leonard needed the Spurs? Or is it vice versa

[r0drig0lac]

White!!!!

[bklynspursfan]

Dammit Aldridge messed that up

[bklynspursfan]

I wanna see Lonnie Walker

Keep up the blow out and we should

[anon]

Triple teaming Aldridge now. They're adjusting

[Brazil]

Go spurs go

and fuck kiwi

[Barfunk]

Dude, did somebody slip a Spurs Hater roofie in Webber's Shirley Temple?

[TheRemix]

Derrick white is a stud.

[Spurtacular]

Too bad LMA has a slow first step; that would've been a breakaway dunk.

[r0drig0lac]

hum...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

FUCK

[emanueldavidginobili]

DeMar has to settle down lol

[phxspurfan]

Raps randoms taking the lead after Kawhi shit the bed

[playbonner15]

Slowly chipping away..

[BatManu20]

Well that escalated quickly.

[TheRemix]

What the fuck ref. White fouled the guy on the fasbreak!

[Barfunk]

Webber is insufferable tonight

[Keepin' it real]

And just like that, the lead is gone. :depressed

[TheGreatYacht]

Green still playing for the Spurs...
Just as awful on the road as he's been the last 4 years.

[playbonner15]

Lol bring back the bench!

[Chomag]

Raps starting to heat up a bit, need some defensive stops

[MoSpur02]

The guys in white are losing focus, getting too relaxed, and losing intensity. Hopefully Pop gives them a good whopping.

[duncan2k5]

DeRozan trying to go 1 on 1 VS Kawhi... Lmfao

[BatManu20]

Aldridge needs to get big. Letting smaller guys push him around again. Eat the contact and finish strong brah

[TheRemix]

Its all good. Demar being aggressive is a good sign

[boutons_deux]

-1 2nd qtr

[Brazil]

Webber is insufferable tonight

Nothing new tbh

[Hillary Clinton]

Go spurs go

and fuck kiwi

My nigga.

[james evans]

A big lead = Aldridge starting to play like shit. DONT LOSE THIS GAMe!!

[r0drig0lac]

DeRozan trying to go 1 on 1 VS Kawhi... Lmfao

yep It's really the worst possible move.

[Budkin]

And just like that, the lead is gone. :depressed

Um, what?

[Hillary Clinton]

Go spurs go

and fuck kiwi

Mon nig.

[timtonymanu]

Nothing new tbh

[Captain Marvel]

The comeback begins

[DAF86]

Keep playing smart. Don't let up. And I better start seeing that LaMalpha Chinook speaks so much of once in a meaningful game.

[TheGreatYacht]

Pop forcing his ugly 90's big man style killing the momentum smh.

[TheRemix]

Raps made some adjustments..now the spurs need to adapt to the double teams sent to aldridge

[RD2191]

Here comes the choke

[bklynspursfan]

Here comes the choke

Take it easy man. Raps will make mini runs. But we aren't losing this

[r0drig0lac]

play of the game

[bklynspursfan]

Holy shit what a move/finish

[spurraider21]

why does LMA leak out towards ibaka after he got the shot off? all he's doing is abandoning rebounding position.

[MVPCues]

Kyle Lowry: "Damn, that nigga on fire."

[Ron Swanson]

:wow

[TheRemix]

Holy fuck ddr..

[MoSpur02]

Why do they keep showing Lowry’s stupid face?

[weeks]

omg derozan

[Amuseddaysleeper]

White on Kawhi is so dumb

[playbonner15]

That Bulls game will always be a reminder
Those Bulls scrubs will always haunt this team's memories :lol

[Ron Swanson]

oh shit

[phxspurfan]

White on Kawhi is so dumb

Why? He's the fucking savior isn't he. Should be easy to guard a guy with no quads

[BatManu20]

Spurs can’t throw it in the ocean from deep now

[weeks]

fans chanting 'traitor' :lol

[Spurtacular]

fans chanting 'traitor' :lol

:rollin

[heyheymymy]

Kinda funny how #4 used to be Green and now its White.

[Leetonidas]

Lol crowd chanting quitter

[r0drig0lac]

strong move by LA

[timtonymanu]

Webber needs to clean his mouth from all the slurping he’s giving Traitor right now

[emanueldavidginobili]

Man people talk shit about LA. That man is a damn good basketball player

[Leetonidas]

fans chanting 'traitor' :lol

Was it? Thought it was quitter. Either way hilarious :lol

[ralph nyc]

lamarcus eatin'!

[Keepin' it real]

fans chanting 'traitor' :lol

Marv said they were saying "traded", lol.

[Fusternino]

TNT online having issues, tbh.

[Spurtacular]

Toronto's coach looks like a hardcore SJW.

[Budkin]

lamarcus eatin'!

Love seeing this. :lma

[Barfunk]

Webber is making my fucking head spin

[Spurs fever]

Webber is insufferable

[Texas_Ranger]

omg. webber is a giant retard. wtf is this idiot talking...

[Chomag]

Man White is really coming into his own

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs choking, Raps looking good now

[bklynspursfan]

Here come the refs. Call that crap and not the foul on the mute smh

[Spurtacular]

WTF Forbes; stand between the guy and the basket; don't just give him a bump. Has to be the dumbest defender I've ever seen.

[Leetonidas]

Fucking Forbes needs to learn how to take a charge

[BatManu20]

Did Rudy Gay forget he has a left hand? Come on brah

[emanueldavidginobili]

Lmao ibaka is getting destroyed

[Siski]

Gay’s left is injured

[Spurtacular]

There should be an unwritten rule that if you don't call the third step for travel you don't give the and one.

[TheGreatYacht]

Green's overrated defense :lol

[RD2191]

Spurs gonna blow this in the 3rd.

[TheGreatYacht]

Aldridge with no effort defensively. Those DDR MVP chants are not what he wanted to hear, tbh..

[emanueldavidginobili]

Great half I’ll take up 16

[james evans]

Goddamn. Ibaka is killing Aldridge

[bklynspursfan]

Not the greatest ending to the half, but still a nice lead. They'll regroup and push this again. They aren't gonna lose this

[Trill Clinton]

I love San Antonio

[emanueldavidginobili]

16-10-5 for DeMar good god

[phxspurfan]

Raps relying on their guards to do the damage, which is correct. Spurs still have shitty backcourt defense, even if White is a bright spot.

[Barfunk]

Not the greatest ending to the half, but still a nice lead. They'll regroup and push this again. They aren't gonna lose this

Agreed.

[bklynspursfan]

Goddamn. Ibaka is killing Aldridge

Not really. Aldridge is helping, and daring him to shoot. He's gotta close harder, but Ibaka isn't killing him . Just hitting open shots

[BatManu20]

Great first quarter, below average second one. I’ll take the lead though. Need to come out hungry again early in the third. What will dictate the rest of the half imo.

[Spurtacular]

Forbes running eight feet to the sideline away from anyone is his version of recovery defense. SMDH

[DAF86]

Can we make a collect to raise money to put a hit on Webber?

[8FOR!3]

Aldridge with no effort defensively. Those DDR MVP chants are not what he wanted to hear, tbh..

Hes not really stepping out on Ibaka but that might be part of the gameplan idk. It’s not like Aldridge is struggling on offense.

[duncan2k5]

DeRozan needs to play like every team is the raptors... And we need to trade LMA already...

[spurraider21]

Spurs gonna blow this open in the 3rd.
fify

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I don't feel good about this. Spurs won't shoot 60% for the game and Raps were getting better as the half wore on.

[Keepin' it real]

16-10-5 for DeMar good god

Fool's gold unless he finishes with at least 32-20-10.

[SwansonInSibagat]

DeRozan trying to go 1 on 1 VS Kawhi... Lmfao

And yet your boy is losing, big time.

[phxspurfan]

Ooh, Rockets Warriors should be a good game

[DAF86]

Raps relying on their guards to do the damage, which is correct. Spurs still have shitty backcourt defense, even if White is a bright spot.

Good to see you have seen the light in relation to White, tbh.

[RC_Drunkford]

Lmao ibaka is getting destroyed

LaMarcus destroys him everytime :lma

[spurraider21]

360 users in the game thread

:lol are we in the finals again?

[HankChinaski]

Couple of moments with the our boys losing focus. Forbes made a mentsl lapse or two.

Like that the Spurs are being aggressive an not looking for the scape goat to make shots.

Raps made a few adjustments but Spurs have been able to answer back.

Overall good first half.

[Shastafarian]

Crowd got lulled into a blowout haze. Hopefully it doesn't take another Raptors run to get the crowd involved.

[phxspurfan]

I don't feel good about this. Spurs won't shoot 60% for the game and Raps were getting better as the half wore on.

10 seconds to go, Raps down by 1...Kawhi top of the key pulls up for the game winner and sinks it! Raps win! Kawhi lands on White's outstretched foot, crumples to the ground in agony.

[Joseph Kony]

I don't feel good about this. Spurs won't shoot 60% for the game and Raps were getting better as the half wore on.

jesus man, have some fucking balls. spurs were up 26 and raps score like 5 straight and its "oh no spurs are choking :cry "

[RC_Drunkford]

Aldridge with no effort defensively. Those DDR MVP chants are not what he wanted to hear, tbh..

He's doubling Kawhi on drives and giving Ibaka the open midrange. It's by design

[skin27]

Fool's gold unless he finishes with at least 32-20-10.

he can do it if the game is still close in the 2nd half and he remains aggressive in the offensive end..

[emanueldavidginobili]

Crowd needs to hurry up and get their food and hurry back. A good 2nd half start is imperative

[Mirrornick]

What a fun game. Cheering for both teams lol...

[BatManu20]

1081010363808862208

[Trainwreck2100]

Energy aside that was a bad quarter by the Spurs, gave up 32 there.

[NickiRasgo]

Spurs need to focus on the 2nd half. Raptors are capable to comeback on this game. They did it plenty of times this season.

[TimmyBuckets]

round up fool lmao

[Captain Marvel]

The raptors will win 111-106

[TimmyBuckets]

Game is far from over. D needs to step up. Gave up too much.

[playbonner15]

360 users in the game thread

:lol are we in the finals again?

Nah most of them are the crypto guys

[skin27]

Demar should focus on playmaking in the 2nd half

[Spurs da champs]

Derrick White's ability to defend just continues to impress.

[MoSpur02]

TNT choosing to focus on the 2-3 good plays the Raptors has versus all the great plays the Spurs has. :lol

[Mirrornick]

The raptors will win 111-106

Derozan gona gonna get 40/15/10

[Captain Marvel]

LOL Harden

[Captain Marvel]

Derrick White's ability to defend just continues to impress.
Meh, it wasn’t that impressive.

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Spurs just need to improve transition D, just never got matched up right on a few possessions that led to easy basket. Also 2nd quarter very poor on screen/pick&pop defense. Have to be more decisive on switching or show/get back and help has to rotate quicker.

On offense LMA needs to keep establishing early deep post position, DDR and White keep attacking rim, and push the pace off misses/turnovers

Like are chances if we keep focus on above should be able to survive even if shooting goes cold

[Mirrornick]

Demar should focus on playmaking in the 2nd half

I'd be ecstatic if he dropped 50 tbh. Just as he promised

[skin27]

Derozan gona gonna get 40/15/10

pop won’t let that to happen

[MoSpur02]

Rounding up to 12 donuts. :lmao:lmao:lmao

[Captain Marvel]

1081010363808862208
Obscure stat is obscure.

[BSfromTX]

I’m at game. Crowd is in to it. KL will play better, but spurs look good. White is good, just needs confidence to shoot when open.

[Fusternino]

TNT stream is garbage, tbh.

[Indianman]

I’m at game. Crowd is in to it. KL will play better, but spurs look good. White is good, just needs confidence to shoot when open.

Boo Kawhi's bitch ass harder.

[Fusternino]

Finally loading again. What a relief.

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

TNT stream is garbage, tbh.

Agree but NBATV players only is hands down worse, below garbage level

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs just need to improve transition D, just never got matched up right on a few possessions that led to easy basket. Also 2nd quarter very poor on screen/pick&pop defense. Have to be more decisive on switching or show/get back and help has to rotate quicker.

On point

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Finally loading again. What a relief.

My bad - thought you were referencing half time show and Webber

[Captain Marvel]

Does Aldridge ever miss?

[bklynspursfan]

Great defense by DDR on Green

[Captain Marvel]

Offensive foul!

[Captain Marvel]

The spurs get away with a lot of contact. But they’re at home.

[BSfromTX]

KL not liking white

[r0drig0lac]

great start of the second half

[spurraider21]

Does Aldridge ever miss?
do any of your posts hit?

[Spurs fever]

Yes!!!!

[hater]

:lmao Kawhitterfans :lmao :lmao

Where is dunkcan2kfagfan :lmao

[Fusternino]

That said, NBATV Players Only is total trash, agreed, LOL.

[Joseph Kony]

spurs aint losing this one fellas

[Spurs fever]

do any of your posts hit?

Lol

[Ron Swanson]

do any of your posts hit?

:lol

[hitmanyr2k]

Kawhi isn't being aggressive at all. Not sure what he's waiting for.

[Joseph Kony]

do any of your posts hit?

:lol whose shitty troll is that

[MoSpur02]

The MVP chant and “traitor “ chant need to continue.

[HankChinaski]

Nice 9 - 0 run by the Spurs. LMA getting in early in the possessions an taking advantage.

[r0drig0lac]

do any of your posts hit?

killing him

[RC_Drunkford]

Our offense is absolutely elite, we've been destroying the best defenses in the league like it's nothing.

[Emperor]

Yay looks like Spurs will be covering the spread for this one :toast

[Captain Marvel]

do any of your posts hit?

derozan triple double watch

[playbonner15]

FORBES

[MoSpur02]

Derozan dropping dimes

[Chomag]

Green still looking like he did with the Spurs I see

[skin27]

derozan triple double watch
hope pop won’t ruin it

[TheGreatYacht]

Danny G-League lol Chinook

[emanueldavidginobili]

Lonnie sighting very possible if they keep it up

[Spurtacular]

"Green is under a lot of pressure"

Just quit talking, Webber.

[Fusternino]

White needed to shoot that.

[Larry O]

LOL, looks like Forbs' energy has expended after he shoots.

[emanueldavidginobili]

2 assist shy from first career triple double

[phxspurfan]

Spurs 2019 NBA Finals

[phxspurfan]

Just Another Game

[MoSpur02]

19/12/8 so far for Derozan.

[r0drig0lac]

White with 14 (6-8) ...amazing

[MVPCues]

My wife just said: "They are ahead by 26 and Pop doesn't look happy."

[emanueldavidginobili]

White might exceed all of our expectations tbh. This is his first real season.

[Chomag]

Refs trying to get the Raps back into the game

[MoSpur02]

Bertans has sucked on defense tonight.

[hitmanyr2k]

Derozan trying to pull the chair on Ibaka lol.

[RC_Drunkford]

Fuckin refs

[Spurs fever]

White!

[playbonner15]

Refs trying to get the Raps back into the game
Refs gonna refs

[Spurtacular]

apalisoc_9

You went hiding in your shithole, bruh.

[skin27]

Derozan might not get his triple double

[r0drig0lac]

White again

[Chomag]

White is possessed!!!

[phxspurfan]

Derrick Nash

[Rocalcio]

1081011129084727296

:lol

[phxspurfan]

DeRozan needs to learn to use his elbows on that

[playbonner15]

DD vs NEPHEW JUMP BALL HYPE

[phxspurfan]

Mills in, SA Suns proceed

[r0drig0lac]

2014 finals flashback....just wow

[bklynspursfan]

Demar needs his first triple double this game.

[MoSpur02]

My gosh Mills is absolutely trash on defense.

[Mr. Body]

Our offense is absolutely elite, we've been destroying the best defenses in the league like it's nothing.

It's super aggressive, drive, kick, drive, kick, drive, drive. No iso. No standing around. It's really hard to cover in a pace and space game.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Watching the Raptors TV crew is like watching Sean and that dude on FS1 they they pumpin up the SPURS lol

Lol, maybe they are bored?

[MVPCues]

Mills wasn't the shortest guy on the court...

[Fusternino]

Bertans actually showing some mobility when guarding Siakam, tbh.

[Raven]

the pace is absurd

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Christ almighty Raptors looking like a G-league team right now.

[MoSpur02]

Refs gonna refs

[hater]

Bertans actually showing some mobility when guarding Siakam, tbh.

Bertans always shows surprising mobility tbqh

Youd think the nba had caught up he is no matt bonner

[spurraider21]

siakam is really good tbh

[Captain Marvel]

White is actually a pretty good player. I change my opinion of him. Slightly.

[$pursDynasty]

Waiting for Nurse to wave the white flag and take Kiwi out for good

[Chomag]

Nephew almost nonexistent

[TheGreatYacht]

Not ashamed to admit I couldn't be more wrong on White, tbh..






































Green is still garbage and overrated as fuck by you idiots though.

[hater]

White is actually a pretty good player. I change my opinion of him. Slightly.

I recoginze I called him a scrub but he is playing scary tonite

[MVPCues]

I just noticed the Lakers slipped below the Spurs in the standings.

[emanueldavidginobili]

We would be on pace for a 14 game winning streak if we didn’t have little errors vs Bulls Rockets Nuggets. Insane.

[ducks]

DeRozan is about to get his first career triple-double in a blowout victory in his Raptors revenge game and all our stories are going to write themselves.

[MoSpur02]

Would've thought Duncan2k5 would be in here cheering for the Spurs since he's a Spurs fan. *sarcasm

[Mr. Body]

Bench hasn't even had to produce yet.

[skin27]

Demar needs his first triple double this game.
it depends on pop

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Did Pop and Kawhi talk to each other or embrace?

[marinoman]

Certain fans always pick the opponents by 20, but they don’t even believe that, it part of their everyone sex and I’m negative shtick. Cause if you challenge them to a bet, silence

[HankChinaski]

White has had a nice string of games. If this is what the Spurs have to look forward to this back court when fully healthy can be really interesting

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

pops really wants this one

smart

[Larry O]

Can the Spurs play with this type of energy every game? They would be hard to beat! !!! GSG!!!

[timtonymanu]

Webber, wipe your mouth

[MoSpur02]

White doesn't know how to foul?

[MVPCues]

Purdle has not played well...

[RC_Drunkford]

It's super aggressive, drive, kick, drive, kick, drive, drive. No iso. No standing around. It's really hard to cover in a pace and space game.

its unguardable. LA and DeMar are unguardable and have to get double teamed. Then you got Rudy Gay who can attack mismatches. Add to that offbalance shooting Beli, Bertans long range and Forbes quick trigger. And White is playing incredible. Super versatile and deadly shooting all over the place

[phxspurfan]

Purrtl giving extra effort against the team that traded him away too

[$pursDynasty]

Patty always on the court when oppositon makes a run

[BackHome]

Why is Mills playing!???

[playbonner15]

POELTL BATTLING

[r0drig0lac]

White shot is unreal

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs have to be the worst team in the league at closing out quarters

[emanueldavidginobili]

White getting the minutes he deserves I love it

[phxspurfan]

Toronto trying to muck it up with Monroe

[KDKSpurs24]

Wtf is Patty Mills doing??
