Game Thread: Spurs @ Trail Blazers - Dec. 13 @ 9:30 PM CST

After a tough loss against the Jazz last night the Spurs travel to Portland to face an injury depleted Trailblazer team.

inb4 substantial sanctions 2.0

Are the Big Three playing?

Blazers by 20

Whos starting? In other news Melo has hung 22 on LA in the 1st quarter. Lakers getting smashed!!!:lmao

Spurs by 7. This Trail Blazers squad is pretty lowly, especially considering the fact they just set a record for worst 3-point shooting in a game of all time. (0-20)

What a great warm up game.

^ Great although I think TD should play limited minutes.

Um, Blair isn't starting by any chance is he?

^NBA Daily Lineups ‏@DailyNBALineups #NBA #Lineup #Spurs Tony Parker PG Gary Neal SG Danny Green SF Tim Duncan PF DeJuan Blair C

This damn Lakers game is going over its allotted time.

And FML. It appears that Blair is going to start again.

Jesus Christ Blair is starting again

:bang

I...Pop...
Ah forget it. Let's hope that Blair plays better tonight than he did last game.

Sooo what I'm guessing is, Pop rests the big 3 and maybe Danny vs Boston which gives them 3 days to rest for OKC and Den.

No way, they will have 1 day off before Boston, i think he will limit Big 3 minutes in this game

Stern's gonna be pissed if we shat on NBA TV like that, tbh.

#Spurs: #Kawhi Leonard (quad) is expected to return in "one or two more games."

Great to hear Leonard will be back soon.

Thank you.

God end this LA NY game....

Finally. I was getting really worried about Kawhi's health.

We need him back.

Longest last minute of a game omg

Jason Kidd's nose is holding up this game. SMH.

Carmelo 30 points in 22 min, Kobe 31 points in 44 minutes

TNT still isn't showing the game! Hurry the fuck up.

Wow, did they hold up tipoff for TV or something?

Gary Neal already kicking things off with a hero ball shot. Nice.

That Lillard Kid is good

Ugh. Can't fall behind early tonight.

really not a fan of Tim playing tonight.

Cluh-VAIR is using Rudy Fernandez's barber, tbh.

Kobe Neal?

:lol

Blair and Neal. Ugh.

kobe neal get him out now, fkn stupid shit now

2 points in 4 minutes. Awesome.

Holy crap. What a pass and what a finish.

Timmy!!

Duncan!!

Strong move there by Timmy!

i hope blair plays well. he sucks but if he could suck less that would be great.

I'm going to enjoy this game. No way we can lose this game, amiright?

duncan with the stare down after the dunk

lmao dancing blair

Blair is broken. Something is seriously wrong with him physically.

kobe neal tryin to lpay defense hahahaha

What's with these sloppy TOs ??

Replace Rockets with Trailblazers and this comment from two games ago still holds true.

If Blair is hurt he shouldn't be out there.

Pop caved into Stern tbh.

Slow start, what surprise

Blair went to jump and nothing happened. Not sure he even got off the ground.

For his sake, hoepfully it's not that his lack of ACLs finally caught up to him.

another poster for duncan .... :wow

Low scoring game so far.

Trailblazers is a shitty team. They won against the Cavs without Irving with a fluke shot from Batum.

Green better not get an assist for that.

ACL can be pain in the ass. Currently dealing with it. Cant jump at all, and I havent even torn it.

Green to Duncan. Just the way Pop drew it up.

Again! Timmy showing his teammates how to finish!

Two Tim Duncan dunks in the first half of the first quarter. It's orgasmic! :wow

blair finishing inside is exactly why he should stay in the play off rotation ....

TD is starting strong again.

If only he could make a shot from outside five feet.

As usual, Duncan asserting early. Keep it up TD!

Yeah, beyond the annoyance of Blair's struggles, it's pretty damn amazing that someone as short as he is and with no ACLs has been relatively successful in the NBA.

Duncan looks as spry as he's looked in about a week. :wow

nice Tiago!!!

tragic Duncan to Splitter

magic duncan tbh

Duncan to Stiffler on the fast break! :downspin:

magic duncan!

Timmy leading the break again

Duncan with a slick no look bounce pass off the dribble :lmao

Make your free throws Splitter.

At this point, I'm thinking Tim Duncan = Robert Johnson tbh. :lol

ya'll google it if you don't know

come on Green... no need for that

Cmon green

WTF, Danny?

wtf was that?

tony and pop chewing out danny

I can't wait to see Sager's interview wih Pop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :)

Neal wtf ?!

Oops Danny... :nope

LO fucking L at Manu getting the steal after falling on his ass. Old man trolling those kids tbh :lol

...fucking Neal...

Splitter doing a good job on Aldridge.

Gary Neal is awful tonight.

I think Diaw played hot potato too much as a kid.

Spurs are just so sloppy...again.

can't believe Pop has Neal as a PG with handles that bad

I hope De Colo pans out. Neal simply won't do as a back-up PG tbh.

Neal and Green look terrible, so far..

splitter is playing great D on Aldridge..

And still tied. I'm feeling good about this game. (it's outcome at least, annoyed by the Spurs sloppiness thus far obviously fwiw tbh)

I think Green's trying too hard. Pop really got into his head.

It's a win. You can book it.

This Spurs team isn't talented enough to execute poorly and get away with it. Hopefully they clean it up.

Being tied against a team of Sasha Pavlovic and Nolan Smith isn't really a good thing.

lol
