WTF shot was that green lmao

[Leetonidas]

LOL Donkey :lmao

[Rocalcio]

Thanks Demar

[james evans]

If I'm guarding Curry just stop at the 3pt line, if he decides to step back to the 3 point line, you are there waiting, lol
It really is that fuckin simple. You know he isn’t driving.

[Robz4000]

Thanks for the win Donkey

[RC_Drunkford]

:lmao Draymond

[BatManu20]

LOL Draymond

[Arcadian]

:lmao Gaymond stupid fuck

The Spurs never foul up 3.

[Dejounte]

Was DJ talking shit to Curry at the end of the game??? :lmao :lmao

[Rocalcio]

Great defensive game

[Blackhaus]

Donkey lol

[spurs1990]

Green cheapened this victory with that buffoonery

[ducks]

Steph would have missed he is shooting only 50 percent from deep tonight and hit his last one

Steph might have a few choice words for green though

[BillMc]

Victory!!!

[SPURt]

Great win! Can we have this Murray every night? That might’ve been the best defensive performance since Kawhi was a Spur

[Chomag]

Draymon is so dumb ...so when are the Spurs trading ditching?

[Sugus]

Was DJ talking shit to Curry at the end of the game??? :lmao :lmao

Must-watch television tomorrow night, tbh :clap

[Arcadian]

:lol It looked like an online 2K match when somebody accidentally presses the shot stick at the wrong time

[ducks]

Dj was grinning at green missed free throws and green wanted payback
Lol green

[Degoat]

That wan ugly ass game of basketball but glad we got the W!!

[Rocalcio]

Go Cleveland !

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Draymond :lmao

Curry is just ridiculous wow

[John B]

Victory :flag:

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Draymond :lmao

Curry is just ridiculous wow

[Russ]

Golden State post-game guy just said "We know Pop loves to foul when the Spurs are up by three."

[John B]

DJ with A+++ game tonight

[Dejounte]

Dj was grinning at green missed free throws and green wanted payback
Lol green

Didn't know you made non-political posts

[Capt Bringdown]

Almost like he was trying to throw the game. I wouldn't put it past this guy to be mobbed up. Thanks, Donkey.
Great win.

[DAF86]

Was DJ talking shit to Curry at the end of the game??? :lmao :lmao

Nah. The complete opposite most likely. Talking shit after winning is a pussy move.

[RD2191]

Golden State post-game guy just said "We know Pop loves to foul when the Spurs are up by three."
Fuck, feels bad man.

[RC_Drunkford]

Will be tougher tomorrow night with White out. I guess Lyles will get those minutes. Let's hope Pop starts Vassell

[NASpurs]

Will be tougher tomorrow night with White out. I guess Lyles will get those minutes. Let's hope Pop starts Vassell

Lonnie is coming back tomorrow.

[Capt Bringdown]

Will be tougher tomorrow night with White out. I guess Lyles will get those minutes. Let's hope Pop starts Vassell

White was pretty wretched tonight. Very disappointed. But, yeah, anyone's better than Lyles. Vassell looks like he might be a keeper.

[RD2191]

Still not over dropping those 2 to the Grizz smh. Probably gonna come back to bite us in the ass at the end of the season.

[Arcadian]

Phoenix in a close one right now

[FkLA]

I've missed the last few wins. Why is Gay closing instead of KJ when KJ had been closing all year? WTF is up with Wombat over White down the stretch too?

[ducks]

Lonnie is coming back tomorrow.

Good

KJ and White shit the bed tonight. Gay was the right call.

Kerr should get off weed and coach the team
What a dumbass

[Light]

He's just trying to cover for his player

[Blackhaus]

White F++. Rudy and Mills were not good but did just enough to help with the win. The league has the scouting report on KJ, let’s see how he adjusts cause right now he’s a little stuck in no mans land.

More like "We know Pop loves to take out the greatest Power Forward of all-time when up by three."

He appeared lost on both ends of the court, a fucking matador on the baseline.

[ducks]

Kerr needs some balls and call out green not kiss his dick

[poopbox]

Big Dickjounte putting the team on his back on both sides of the ball again per par...

[DAF86]

I've missed the last few wins. Why is Gay closing instead of KJ when KJ had been closing all year? WTF is up with Wombat over White down the stretch too?

KJ has lost all confidence in his jumpshot. The better question tonight is why Vassell didn't close over Gay?

[DAF86]

KJ and White shit the bed tonight. Gay was the right call.

Nope. It should have been Vassell over him.

[lefty]

I call green hitting 4 plus threes today as he is shooting 17% this season . He will kill us

Nice jinx imo

[Dennis the Menace]

Dejounte “The Franchise” Murray delivered tonight. Reminiscent of young Kawhi elevating to the next level. It’s a beautiful thing to see. Happy for Dejounte and hope he continues to blossom. Seems like a good man who just wants to be great.

Here’s to tomorrow!

[siraulo23]

monster game from Murray, Derozan played great again. Derrick White yikes

[crc21209]

White was baaad tonight, going with Patty down the stretch was the right call (for once). At that point White wasn’t giving you anything and the offense was sputtering so they needed someone out there capable of knocking down a shot.

[Seventyniner]

14-10 with a -0.3 point differential is misleading imo, though not as bad as the Kings somehow being above 0.500 this far into the season with a -4.5.

I fully expect the Lakers/Clippers/Jazz/Nuggets/Suns to be the top 5 playoff seeds, assuming no catastrophic injuries. That only leaves one spot to avoid the play-in.

To me, the Spurs finishing in that 7-10 group is the most likely possibility.

[Mr. Body]

14-10 with a -0.3 point differential is misleading imo, though not as bad as the Kings somehow being above 0.500 this far into the season with a -4.5.

I don't really believe in the Suns. CP3 is a big factor, but I still don't like them that much. Someone pointed out that the Spurs get the Eastern Conference a lot from now on, which should amount to wins.

[Ice009]

White was pretty wretched tonight. Very disappointed. But, yeah, anyone's better than Lyles. Vassell looks like he might be a keeper.

I'm disappointed White's not playing tomorrow. I still prefer his defense over Lonnie's any day of the week, and I am sure he wouldn't play as bad as he did tonight. Sucks that he won't be playing. Great win. Just watched the game. Dejounte was freaking great.

why doesn't Vassell play instead of Rudy? Vassell should be getting more court time. I'd like to see what he can do in crunch time. I think he would excel given the chances.

Vassell cant play PF or C, in which Gay is.

[Ice009]

Vassell cant play PF or C, in which Gay is.

Yeah, I guess that is a fair reason that Gay was out there instead. I think Vassell could spend some minutes at PF, but yeah, Rudy Gay is more suited to fill that spot at this current point in time.

[rankingtear]

Yeah, I guess that is a fair reason that Gay was out there instead. I think Vassell could spend some minutes at PF, but yeah, Rudy Gay is more suited to fill that spot at this current point in time.

Weird that many people think Vassell can play PF he is 6'5 200 lbs. Keldon is 6'5 220+. Rudy is 6'8 250.

Maybe slightly overperforming, but I chalk the negative differential up to a couple of blowouts. Haven’t had outsized luck in 3 or 10 point games.

Schedule gets easier. 27 games left against the east (over half remaining).

[8FOR!3]

Remember when you didn't believe me during pre-season when I said he has improved his game?

Yeah I think I was still really concerned about wether or not he could be consistent. I'm happy that I was wrong about Murray, he is impressive.

[pad300]

http://powerrankingsguru.com/nba/strength-of-schedule.php

We've had the 7th hardest strength of schedule so far ; we have the weakest strength of schedule remaining (although that is deceptive - it only shows the games scheduled so far, so only the first 1/2 of the season).

[Ocotillo]

The game was fun to watch although it looked like GS missed a lot of threes that should have gone in. I did learn I don't like Curry. Don't get me wrong, he is amazing but if he is not on your team he comes across as an a$$ with his dancing and chewing on the mouthpiece.

I have disliked him for years. He comes across to me as a phony considering when he was in college playing at Davidson he wasn't showboating like he does today. He didn't start acting a fool until Draymond joined up with the Warriors.
