Verizon Center
Washington DC

Gonna be a tough game against a playoff team without our best player and also Manu (if he sits, seems likely). Any updates on Manu?

Hope Beli is out

Without the best Player and best playmaker, this game is going to be tough...Not to mention the fact that the wizards just got blown out by the Hawks..expect them to play motivated basketball.

Spurs Injury Report 1/12/15
Posted: Jan 12, 2015


Please be advised of the following injuries for Tuesday's game at Washington:

Marco Belinelli (mild strain, left groin) - Questionable
Manu Ginobili (back spasms) - Probable
Kawhi Leonard (bruised right hand) - Out

Probable is better than out. Doesn't sound like Manu's injury is serious.

Thanks ace! :tu

Leonard will most likely play his return game around the 20th of January...

I hope Manu sits. He needs lots of rest after the carrying him and Tim did.

You think there's a chance we can copy that 19-W streak last season?
Tough.

Just WIN Spurs! :flag:

Wizards aren't that great tbh. On the 2nd night of a B2B I don't really fear them. Although last game we did have MVCory against Wall, and this time we got Tony "7PTS 1 AST 5 TO" Parker starting. Green vs. Beal is always fun to watch cause you can tell they know they are competing versions of the same type of player. Like when Bonner goes against Steve Novak it's as if his life depended on the game. Nene vs. Tiago is fun, two Brazilians trying to show each other up. Tim should dominate the Polack and whoever we trot out at SF will be hungry to show up Paul Pierce's decrepit corpse. I think the Wizards are 1-2 solid bench pieces away from contending in the East. Otto Porter still can't do anything, Dr. Miller can barely play more than 15 minutes these days, and Kardashian is good but if his midrange jumper isn't falling (like it was last time against us) he's just a warm body.

Spurs by ~8 IMO unless TP goes full retard.

Will probably feel like an home game with the huge amount of Spurs fans in DC per usual. Hopefully it be a good game like last years.

Fagnelli out = win

Neither team played last night so there were no back to backs.

Go Spurs. I hope they can maintain the pressure this time and not lose the lead.

Anyone here going to the game? I'll be in section 229.

Given Ginobili's status, I would kind of expect that he will suit up, and if we have to have him to win, Pop will put him in...otherwise rest.

President Diaw predicts Spurs win by 12!

:lol:toast


I really do want somebody to put a huge glass of wine in his hands in that picture!

Scheduled loss imo. Wiz will be extremely motivated to get it done while the Spurs sleepwalk.

Go Gortat go!

That said, if they get another big lead and choke it I'll be pissed as fuck.

HE IS OUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Jeff McDonald @JMcDonald_SAEN
Spurs: Parker, Green, AUSTIN DAYE, Duncan, Spliltter. Wiz: Wall, Beal, Pierce, Nene, Gortat.

See, it's okay everybody. Austin Daye will save us.

They just said Patty is out? The fuck?

Well, count this as a loss.

:lol Pierce hitting every shot right now. It's all good. It would be nice if we closed out or contested him properly though...

So Pierce will be this games scrub going off on the Spurs per par? And yes Pierce is a huge scrub at this point in his career.

:lmao Diaw

Nice air ball Diaw.

I guess Patty isn't hurt. Fucking NBAtv. :lol

Spurs look just a few steps slow. Sheesh.

too easy

Spurs sleepwalking out there. White House hangover?

Ayres to the rescue

Cojo!

Did Patty get hurt shaking Obama's hand? WTF!?!

Ernie just looked at our record and assumed Mills was still out :lol

MVPatty is playing. Everyone chill out, tbh.

Really? No idea why it's not working for me. I have TWC and live on the West Coast. Maybe it's something out here?

Are you shitting me?

LMAO why do motherfuckers always have to go off against us?

Of course 30% 3pt shooter making it rain

yeah patty can't defend fast pg

Wow the Wizards made back-to-back threes.

Exactly. :lol Wall can't shoot, but of course he's Stephen Curry against us. smh.

Manu gets shitted on...

*blames Ayres* :lmao

31 points? Yuck.

I'm on the west coast too. I have u-Verse though.

Wall going off...if he's hitting the 3 like that, then we're fucked.

the offense has been good, they just went off from 3.... I didn't think the perimeter defense was bad either, just one of those quarters...

Is Baynes still hurt? Errors hasn't been total shit lately but I rather see Baynes out there.

24-31.

It's mid January and our complete roster has never yet been available. Man that day can't come soon enough.

If not for Pierce going through a time machine Spurs would be up. Just keep it close.

Manuuuuuuu
