Game Thread: Spurs @ Warriors — Wed. (2/6) - 9:30/C (5:30am Riga Time)

[BatManu20]

In Oakland tomorrow night as we take on a 37-15 Warriors team who are #1 in the West. Aldridge and DeMar are both OUT for Rest Management. Derrick White remains OUT with Heel soreness. Game will be nationally televised on ESPN. Probably an L, but that’s why you play the game. Let’s get it.

Smart decision imo, but in the end they don't have enough on the perimeter to stay in either game.

Well at least I know now not to stay up and watch this game.

[TDomination]

I really really hope Lonnie Walker gets minutes in tomorrow game

[Seventyniner]

Can the Spurs keep the final margin within 25?

[GAustex]

Well at least I know now not to stay up and watch this game.

[jermaine]

Well at least I know now not to stay up and watch this game.

I didnt stay up for the Kings, I sure as hell ain't gonna stay up for this shit.

[timvp]

Good decision to rest 'em. That gives the Spurs the best shot at splitting.

[daslicer]

I didnt stay up for the Kings, I sure as hell ain't gonna stay up for this shit.

I live on the east coast so it's even worse than you guys who are in the central time zone.

[diceman]

Well at least I know now not to stay up and watch this game.

:tu

[Degoat]

Well maybe Walker gets some good run tomorrow hopefully

[SpurPadre]

Yeah just rest your two best players against the best team in the league on the road. It's a good thing we have the luxury of tanking games because we're 10 games ahead of everyone else...oh wait a minute.

[timtonymanu]

We were getting massacred either way especially when your boy Forbes guards Curry and lets him shoot 5 3s.

[SpurPadre]

We were getting massacred either way especially when your boy Forbes guards Curry and lets him shoot 5 3s.

...in the first quarter, tbh.

Still, it's the principal of the matter. We are in no position to have the sheer arrogance of tanking games with healthy players. This isn't The Big 3 era. LMA should really just be traded if they're going to pull this shit.

[SpurPadre]

Call the blowout score:

187-79, tbh..

I don’t think it’s arrogance since they have Portland the next night. I hate when Pop sits players when it’s not necessary also, but I’m fine with it in this case. Truthfully the team isn’t that good especially without White and the Warriors are too good. Why risk injury against a team who’s beating us in any scenario? Just rest for the Guests who are an easier matchup. Gonna be tough to even get a split here.

[RD2191]

Lame shit tbh

But it still makes my point I made in my thread last night about being real about this team. If Pop has zero faith in this Spurs team winning a regular season game against the Dubs this late into the season, then why bother trying the rest of the way? Why hold on to two players you don't think were good enough to beat the favorites in February?

[SpurPadre]

Lame shit tbh

It's pussy Kawhi shit, tbh. They basically rescinded their right to call out that faggot for resting otherwise they look like fucking hypocrites. DeMar is 30, NOT 50. I hope Silver fines the fuck out of Pop for this bullshit.

[timtonymanu]

If Pop has zero faith in this Spurs team winning a regular season game against the Dubs this late into the season, then why bother trying the rest of the way? Why hold on to two players you don't think were good enough to beat the favorites in February?

If we're gonna be real, no team has a shot at a title as long as the Dubs keep picking up players for their superteam. They seriously ruined the league (I know some like Harlem would disagree) by stacking their team to an unfair advantage. As much as I hate this Spurs team, they've also had bad luck with Murray out for the year and White missing a good amount of games and even though Pau sucks now, he was part of the rotation and was playing fine before his injury.

The Nephew situation also put the Spurs in a crappy position. If he never quit, this team would be fighting for the #1 seed right now. Instead, we had to trade for a player with a lesser ceiling and more of a playoff choker. Any knowledgable, non-homer can tell you an Aldridge/DeRozan-led team doesn't have what it takes to win a championship. But Pop is still around and this team is still in playoff position with all the cards they've been dealt. I've pretty much accepted this team is losing in the 1st round. I'll even accept them missing the playoffs if White's injury is serious. Just sit back and enjoy the chaos and hope next year our rotation is filled with younger, more athletic players. It's not like we have to worry anymore about Tim and Manu's final years being wasted. Next year, move Bryn back to the bench. Tell Dante/Pon/Pau to all retire. Hope Murray/Walker/White take their games to the next level. In a dream world, I hope we could trade DeRozan too since he's just an awkward fit for the team now.

[MVPCues]

Pop is just folding his hand and waiting for the button to make a move. Beating Portland and losing to the Warriors is better than the opposite since we can actually catch Portland.

[spurs10]

'Curry breaks world record by outscoring Wilt Chamberlain.' 'Highest scoring game by a team in NBA history.' However dinner and wine will be amazing! :wow

Truthfully this probably gives us a much better shot in Portland.

[monty4329]

Best decision of the season. Anyway DDR is a minus so it is addiction by subtraction. There is no way on earth SA wins this game regardless on who plays. Better try to get a win in Portland -unfortunately Miami did it, so it is even harder now, but still possible.

[monty4329]

In a dream world, I hope we could trade DeRozan too since he's just an awkward fit for the team now.

He is untradeable, at 26 mil a year. In fairness, he started the season pretty well, hopefully he gets a grip of himself (and learns dribbling the fu*g ball) and can contribute in the playoffs.

[r0drig0lac]

easy...money

[Duncan87]

Going all in for Portland I guess

[Truth4sale$]

I would love the Spurs to bring up both two way players and throw them into the fire to see how they perform. If you are gonna lose, lose with development of younger guys, not putting Poindexter, Gasol, and Cunningham out on the floor.

[Spurs Homer]

I got a problem with this - even though I have been really enjoying this season - and accepting that this team is not a contender -
this is really the shittiest move of this season;

1) They will still LOSE against portland tomorrow - so this just makes it worse
2) This is the "rodeo trip" where great things have happened, the team meshes, players bond together against the world, the team turns a corner and all that garbage -
so what does this say? "aw - why try - against the champs - they are too good for us!" wtf? So what if we get beat - go out there with your best team and scare the shit out of the warriors - just for fun - show the team that they can upset the best when they work hard - and if they lose - you go out with your head held high.
This bullshit of bowing before the league darlings just makes me want to puke. Low point of this season - after some refreshing happenings this year - this just gives credence that maybe the QUITTER - did not just suddenly QUIT - but maybe this QUITTING by this coach - and pampering of players - always backfires.
3) To re-emphasize #1 - they will still lose against Portland.
4) Pop - retire if this is your lesson to the team on their most important leg of their season.


Until now - I was really appreciating this team and this coaching season by Pop.

[TDomination]

beating the blazers would makeup losing to the kings.
the goal is to split the rodeo road trip. someway, somehow.

[Bynumite]

That +15 spread is looking mighty healthy. If the spurs can't lose to the dubs by less than 15, might as well start planning relocation imho.

Edit: Nevermind, just seen DeFrozen and LaSoft are not playing.

Chickenshit Poop at it again :lol

[SpurSpike]

Sitting DDR and Aldridge against GSW is a chicken shit move and quite frankly pisses me off. You go out there and compete every game, its what you are paid to do. Also, what kind of message does that send to your players? Still a high chance we lose to the Blazers, especially if White is out...

[TimDunkem]

Pure chickenshit move sitting DD and LMA.

Tbh. No one thought Buster Douglas was going to beat Tyson but he knocked him the fuck out.

You rather go all out just to lose tn and have our guys tired for an easier game vs the blazers ?

[SpurSpike]

You rather go all out just to lose tn and have our guys tired for an easier game vs the blazers ?

Would you rather have 1 guaranteed lose or a chance to win both? Benching LMA and DDR vs the warriors does not guarantee a win VS the Blazers...

I get it the Blazers is an important game standing wise (so was the kings game and we saw how that went...) Kings now own the tie breaker!

I think if they don't try hard every game the odds are greater that they lose both and wreck the team moral.

[RC_Drunkford]

the real question is what will the starting line up look like? And also, why play Rudy when you're throwing the game anyway?

[SpurSpike]

the real question is what will the starting line up look like? And also, why play Rudy when you're throwing the game anyway?

I think they are still going to try to win and to do that Rudy has to play if we got no white. He is the only player left that can score on his own and break down a defense. This is going to be a game of chucking 3's... I'm predicting a season high on 3 point attempts this game.

cmon man, this makes no sense

[HarlemHeat37]

No-brainer move, Spurs match up well against Portland, winnable game..

[Dverde]

Spurs are not playing their best. Rest ‘em especially :lma

[slick'81]

Wat a shit game to watch this is going to be

[Rosewood]

That +15 spread is looking mighty healthy. If the spurs can't lose to the dubs by less than 15, might as well start planning relocation imho.

Edit: Nevermind, just seen DeFrozen and LaSoft are not playing.

Chickenshit Poop at it again :lol How are the lakers doing atm with someone who is supposedly better than Michael Jordan?

[TDomination]

with derrick white out, i wasn't looking forward to this game anyways.
my only hope now is lonnie walker gets some burn for this game.

[TDomination]

i do understand the frustration of having the top guys sit out. thats how i felt everytime they sat out in the "big" games in previous years.

but for this particular game, i'm actually okay with it. but they better bring it against the blazers and this better be the last time they do this this season.

[LCM]

Sitting LMA and DD this game was predictable for Pop. Even if the beat Kings, this was going to happen. Portland just lost to Miami at home last night so Blazers are going to play pissed. But, they can be beat. Winning Blazers, Grizzlies, Knicks, and Nets games gets the 4-4 split. Jazz comes in play if Rubio is traded because team will still be getting used to each other. 3-5 to 4-4 is the goal going into the last 20 games.

[Play Boban]

I didn't know DD and LMAO were TOSBs now. Good to know.

[Drom John]

I'll watch, though on EDT I may not stay awake.
I like games with backups.
One of my favorite watched games was "the fine" game at the Heat when Duncan, Ginobili, Green and Parker flew home after the Magic game. Wrong team won, but a great game.

[GreekSpursfan]

This is no chickenshit move as others are saying. LMA looked like a very tired man and couldn't do shit on defense the other night, so if you rest LMA why not rest Derozan too since you will lose even if you rest LMA alone. Having said that, two losses coming right up no matter who's playing.

[Spurs Homer]

cmon man, this makes no sense

Of course it does.
Play your best players and go out there with a winning attitude - either you beat them or scare the shit out of them.

This is what COMPETING is all about. How many thousand times during the TITLE ERA - did pop say these very words, "go out and COMPETE"

This used to be the fucking mindset - go out and compete.

Now?

Let's just fold the fucking tent and try not to piss off the champs?

Fuck that.

[Spurs Homer]

You rather go all out just to lose tn and have our guys tired for an easier game vs the blazers ?

Holy shit - this is what this team and fan base has become?

oooh ooooh - do not TIRE OUT our fucking twenty-something and thirty-something millionaires!


:lmao:lmao



No wonder Kawhi the quitter quit and still gets support nowadays.

If Derrick White had not gotten hurt and the Spurs had beaten the Kings then i would have been pissed. I would have wanted to see what we could do against GSW.

But in our current state sans White, i don't have a problem with this move.

[Spurs Homer]

:lmao So you rather us play our best players 30+ mins only to get blown the fuck out against GS :lmao

okay


Who gives a fuck?

They are paid to play a fucking game. They get paid handsomely. Play the fucking game as best as you can and as hard as you can and then rest in the off-season.

Who says they can't win this game if they play their best players?

[TheGreatYacht]

Warriors always get opponents on back-to-backs it's ridiculous and surprised no one has called that shit out.

[NameLess Scrub]

I'll go out on a limb and predict Warriors will win due to out talenting , combined with the 2 best players of the Spurs resting.

Had to gather a lot of courage to make that prediction. Please don't make fun of me.

[Dex]

Sitting the big guns is probably the right move. Focus on getting the more-winnable game of the B2B in Portland. There ain't no way in hell we are going to win both, so might as well maximize the odds on getting one.

That said, I probably ain't staying up past midnight to watch the shitshow. I'll catch up tomorrow if possible, and hope that Lonnie gets some good minutes.

[GusT15]

Keep it respectable,stay healthy,get Walker some minutes,and get the W tomorrow night.

[Pavlov]

https://twitter.com/mikecwright/status/1093256816539172865Would like to see Ben activated at some point. How many days does Eubanks have left anyway?

[GAustex]

Keep it respectable,stay healthy,get Walker some minutes,and get the W tomorrow night.
Predict Walker gets spun in a circle at least once

[NameLess Scrub]

Just hope Dray doesn't injure anybody with his amazing defense.

[Leetonidas]

Only going to watch because we are almost sure to see Walker get some time. Spurs will probably get demolished but like all great teams the dubs have a tendency to play down to their opponents in these games.

[SpurPadre]

The Dubs will break the record for most points scored in regulation tonight.

[r0drig0lac]

1q Bucks 50-35 Wiz holy fuck

[JPB]

1q Bucks 50-35 Wiz holy fuck

:pop: There's no BB anymore

(80-56, 1:26 in the second) This is getting ridiculous. But hey they got what they wanted NBA 2K for real...

[Big Empty]

Whorriars are gonna rest their starters in the 2nd half.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Whorriars are gonna rest their starters in the 2nd half.

You obviously don't know GSW. Those fuckers will play the full game hooting and hollering after each bucket

[RD2191]

The Dubs will break the record for most points scored in regulation tonight.

:lol tbh

[vander]

Every team should rest thier best players against GS tbh.

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

With Aldridge out I'm guessing Uebankes will get some minutes tonight, I'm interested in seeing what he can do against NBA players.

[Big Empty]

Whats the starting line up?

[DAF86]

Punting this game was the right move. Just don't overplay guys like Bertans, Beli and Forbes, who will be needed for tomorrow.

[skin27]

They have to make sure they get the W tomorrow

[RD2191]

Dubs by 25+ tbh

[playbonner15]

Release the Iron Bank of Eubanks

[look_at_g_shred]

Dubs by 25+ tbh
Tbh I hope we lose by 40 plus. Maybe that’ll wake up Rc’s bird box having ass

Yep. May go back to bed.

[Play Boban]

Poeltl will dominate.

[SpurPadre]

I'm glad I sold both of my tickets this morning to avoid this ass ramming, tbh. Forbes and Mills will come out of it with extra assholes though.

If I was Stern Jr., I'd fine his smug, arrogant ass $2 million.

2. This GS team would shit all over that Heat team.

Mills on Curry Beli on Thompson to start the game, hilarious.

[Shakril]

Starting Five:

Mills, Belinelli, Bertans, Gay, Poeltl

Spurs gonna get embarrassed, tbh.

Gonna get to see a beat down and Mark Jackson call a game... awesome

True but we did have Nando De Culo back then who was even worse than Forbes, tbh.

But you're still right. To add to it:

3. The NBA was still a man's league without the excessive 3 point chucking back then.

[SpurPadre]

O/U 97 point loss?

FIFY

[emanueldavidginobili]

Pasche just said White might be playing tomorrow?

[emanueldavidginobili]

He’s at home for the first leg isn’t he

[Shakril]

Beside Poeltl, everyone is awful at Defense. Perimeter Defense especially bad.

[cool cat]

How can there be a game thread if the Spurs aren’t playing tonight?

[Strategic]

Why the fuck is Rudy playing?Rudy probably get tomorrow off.

[boutons_deux]

holy shit! LOB trophy gonna be ours!

Spurs really fucked up by laying an egg in SAC

Lonnie about to check in.This guy will be a bust.

Every time Durant fakes and spreads his legs the defender needs to be slapping hard at the ball(s).

Well, that's retarded. Punt hard tonight and go all in tomorrow.

[Strategic]

On second thought, this may be the only way Spurs are still in the game at half time.

[skin27]

If this is come down to a close game people here will think we should have won this game if LA and demar played

sure, of course, big stage for a kid who hasn't played hardly at all

[Mikeanaro]

Lol Anus.

[Degoat]

Feel bad for Lonnie lol

Moving screens under the pretense of posting up. Another blatant rule the NBA decided they could ignore when it suits them.

Paddy and Rudy wtf

[$pursDynasty]

Well, that's retarded. Punt hard tonight and go all in tomorrow.
This if you are punting this game play Rudy like 5 minutes total to avoid the fine

[DarrinS]

In wonder if WC all star team can beat d-league?

[TheGreatYacht]

Only Beli can save us against the Warriors, like 5 years ago

[HarlemHeat37]

It's a legit argument to say that we had a realistic chance to beat them if Pop didn't use this cowardly tactic.

[Leetonidas]

Lol what is the point of playing pau. Dude is worthless out there and consistently fucks up the teams chemistry when he's on the floor

[DAF86]

The three point shot is such an equalizer.

[Leetonidas]

Spurs playing hard. All we can ask for tbh

[DAF86]

It's a legit argument to say that we had a realistic chance to beat them if Pop didn't use this cowardly tactic.

Nah, because instead of taking threes we would be taking inefficient long 2's.

[HarlemHeat37]

It's funny that the same fans that hate the 3 also cry for parity:lol

The 3 is the reason a team like tonight's Spurs can be competitive..

[marinoman]

It's a legit argument to say that we had a realistic chance to beat them if Pop didn't use this cowardly tactic.
With a game tomorrow I don’t hate the move

[SpurPadre]

Nah, because instead of taking threes we would be taking inefficient long 2's.

They have no answer for LMA. Cousins would be afraid to bang with him as he's still fresh off injury.

[Strategic]

Damn put KD on the floor on that kind of foul

[Ron Swanson]

Wardell falls on his own and looks around for the foul.

[Larry O]

One positive thing about this lineup though is the ball movement. We see the Beautiful Game! Aldridge and DePoision kill the offense with their iso play.

[Leetonidas]

Rofl curry just slips and falls and cries he isn't gifted FTs :lol

[Blackhaus]

Fuck curry

[SpurPadre]

It's funny that the same fans that hate the 3 also cry for parity:lol

The 3 is the reason a team like tonight's Spurs can be competitive..

Hating the 3 is different from hating the rampant plots to build mini Dream Teams.

yep, blatand different without fucking ISOs

[Leetonidas]

Jesus man how many times are spurs just going to fumble the fucking ball

[boutons_deux]

Purtle has developed fumbly stone hands

[Ron Swanson]

Completely fell apart.

[Mikeanaro]

So this is the perfect GS game full of assists?
SA is playing their game and its horrible to watch.
Commentator talk about lots of assists and shit, what I see?
A stupid 3 point contest with some occasional dunks.

[Chomag]

My God Forbes sucks...

[SpurPadre]

With a game tomorrow I don’t hate the move

I'd rather beat the Dubs on the road than beat the Guests. I hate the move.

[Leetonidas]

Spurs shitting the bed and walker injured. Fuck me :pctoss

[DAF86]

Lonnie wants to quit.

[bklynspursfan]

No one knows how to make a pass anymore.

[SPURt]

Walker gimping

[TheGreatYacht]

Lonnie looks like a bust

[Jay.From.NbTx]

Wtf it was just 53 to 50 now they’re up by 14 ?!

[DAF86]

I'd rather beat the Dubs on the road than beat the Guests. I hate the move.

We are not beating the Warriors anyway. :lol

[TDomination]

That was quick

[timtonymanu]

:pop: “We’re fine with what we have. Forbes is a keeper. “

[Blackhaus]

Jesus walker is mr glass

[TimDunkem]

My God Forbes sucks...

But he shoots like Curry in practice.

[ace3g]

great, non contact injury for LWIV...

[marinoman]

I'd rather beat the Dubs on the road than beat the Guests. I hate the move.
I don’t think we’d win anyways

[emanueldavidginobili]

Mentally weak players. Can’t make simple passes as a professional basketball players smfh

[timtonymanu]

I'd rather beat the Dubs on the road than beat the Guests. I hate the move.

Lol like our defense has a shot

[HarlemHeat37]

What an uninspiring start for Lonnie:lol

Hopefully he shows out a bit in the 2nd half after he settles down..

[Larry O]

Looks like Forbes is killing this team when he's on the floor! SMH... The Worriers jump to a 14 point lesd!

[Ron Swanson]

Klay tried to go top shelf. :lmao

[Leetonidas]

:cry if only Otto porter were here to save us :cry

[TimDunkem]

:pop: “We’re fine with what we have. Forbes is a keeper. “

Who needs guys with length to defend the KDs and Kawhis of the world when you have a guy who shoots like Curry in practice?

[slick'81]

Seriously lw4 hurt again?

[TDomination]

It went from 3 down to a blowout in 30 seconds. So pathetic

[Leetonidas]

Wonder what happened with walker. Looks like he had a random foot cramp or something

[Strategic]

Forbes can’t get a shot off over curry.

[TimDunkem]

Mentally weak players. Can’t make simple passes as a professional basketball players smfh

You could see half of those interceptions coming a mile away. Very mentally weak team. Went full retard in less than a minute.

[SpurPadre]

Who needs guys with length to defend the KDs and Kawhis of the world when you have a guy who shoots like Curry in practice?

And not just any Curry...SETH Curry!!!

[Chomag]

Wonder what happened with walker. Looks like he had a random foot cramp or something
yeah a cramp was what I was thinking but who knows

[Degoat]

Yeah Lonnie needs to stay in the g-league, tons of athletism but he hasn’t used it to his advantage yet

[sammy]

Get rid of Forbes! Dumbass allowing layups/turns the ball over! Damn scrub

[Larry O]

JP25 had a chance to bully Thompson and he blew an opportunity to be aggressive and score, but NOOO!

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

Wonder what happened with walker. Looks like he had a random foot cramp or somethingWants out of the game, afraid pop might help at him again.

[SpurPadre]

We are not beating the Warriors anyway. :lol

We beat them earlier in the season with LMA and DeMar.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Lonnie a little nervous. Against the Warriors in Oracle I’m not mad

[Chomag]

Forbes really is not an NBA level player but of course on the Spurs he is a starter getting big minutes

[Degoat]

You know what I hate, the spurs are a joke to the warriors. They respect us for what we accomplished with the the big 3 but they never considered us a threat. Look at there bench during the game, guys are taking a nap pretty much. Rant over lol

[cool cat]

We are down 14 and I feel like we are overachieving.

[TimDunkem]

Forbes really is not an NBA level player but of course in the Spurs he is a starter getting big minutes
It's Bonner circa 2008-2014 all over again. This scrub is going to get guaranteed money and minutes because he is Pop's guy. Charity Case is here to stay.

[SpurPadre]

It went from 3 down to a blowout in 30 seconds. So pathetic

Kerr must have told his team..."Uh, you guys realize they sat Aldridge and DeRozan...never mind that they no longer have Manu, Parker, and Leonard. Win the fucking game."

[KDKSpurs24]

We beat them earlier in the season with LMA and DeMar.
No Curry or Cousins..

[playbonner15]

Can't wait for next season! :rollin

[Shakril]

JP25 had a chance to bully Thompson and he blew an opportunity to be aggressive and score, but NOOO!

He made the right play and just missed it.

[paperboy77]

Forbes can’t get a shot off over curry.

Jacob can’t get it past a flat footed 6’7” Thompson.

I swear some of these guys SA picks up clam up anytime vs a good team.

[Larry O]

For LW4, I think Pop has a tight leash on him, unlike when he's playing with the G League. Probably told him not to "play outside the box."

[SpurPadre]

Forbes really is not an NBA level player but of course on the Spurs he is a starter getting big minutes

Some here think criticizing him is blasphemous too. :wtf

[DAF86]

We beat them earlier in the season with LMA and DeMar.

But without Curry, nor Draymond, nor Cousins. :lol

[SpurPadre]

No Curry or Cousins..

And we beat them once in the playoffs last year without that backstabbing bitch. Sure they had no Cousins but LMA can take him. There was no reason not to try to win this game.

[paperboy77]

Yeah Lonnie needs to stay in the g-league, tons of athletism but he hasn’t used it to his advantage yet

Maybe. I wish some veteran would do like they did before weak ass d-league came around and just chew him out. Tell him to not f up hid opportunity and play ball. Shit or get off the pot! You can see superior athleticism but looks like he’s deferring to everyone.

Just venting. I don’t think having DD or LA woulda mattered. Our team is simply average.

[HarlemHeat37]

Why would you want to lose to BOTH the Warriors and Blazers?:lol

At least Aldridge and DeRozan will be fresh for a winnable game tomorrow..Aldridge isn't young anymore, he needs to rest when he can .

[Play Boban]

Lonnie Walker is cancerous. Team worst -15 in only 7 minutes. He’s a scrub who should never set foot on a court in a Spurs uniform again. What a terrible pick by PATFO!

[SpurPadre]

Lol like our defense has a shot

No but they have no answer for LMA. I'm talking about a win predicated on offense similar to the OKC game. Cousins wants none of LMA as he's still fresh off injury.

[Robz4000]

Did LW4 actually get hurt?

[Mikeanaro]

Lol bullshit calls.
Most pussy team ever.

[SpurPadre]

Did LW4 actually get hurt?

Just his ego tbh.

[Chomag]

Eubanks really ?

[Play Boban]

He’s not hurt, he’s just scurred.

[boutons_deux]

so many TOs yielding FB pts

[Degoat]

Eubanks really ?

better then pau lol

[Play Boban]

Poop is a double agent.

[StinkyWeezleteats]

Lol Warriorefs out in full force these 2nd and 3rd quarters. Still sloppy play by the Spurs, but man Donkey gets away with so much.

[SpurPadre]

Apparently Green called a ref a bitch once and still didn't get a technical. Yet when the greatest power forward of all time laughs from the bench, he's tossed. NBA logic.

[HarlemHeat37]

Man, Warriors are so fun to watch as a basketball fan, never seen anything like it..

[boutons_deux]

wheels have come off

-2 now -18

12 TOs by early 3rd qtr
