Game Thread: Spurs @ Pelicans -- Thur. (3/3) - 7:00PM CST (3:30AM Riga Time)

Quick turnaround tonight as we're in N'awlins to take on a 23-36 Pels team that has lost 8 of their last 13, including a 5-point loss to the Rockets last night. This team just seems to have our number though, as we haven't won a game at their place in 2 years. Hope we end that tonight. Everyone is available but Manu. No excuses. Let's get it.

:flag:

:flag:

I am not giving up on the #1 seed yet but if/when it becomes obvious that #1 is out of reach, the cushion will allow Pop to rest who he wants, experiment with lineups and get ready for playoffs w/o worrying about hurting their seeding.

Game will be nationally televised on TNT, followed by OKC @ Golden State.



Playing vs the Pels in New Orleans on National Television is usually bad news for us. I wanna beat these guys badly.


:flag:

Batmanu continues with the top winning percentage on gameday threads, can't wait to see how the Batmanu thread, with the BillMc Melissa pic mojo does next time we run into the Dubs.

Doc, this is a win/win game tonight, Dubs vs Thunderrefs. Either we get one game closer to #1 seed or we solidify positioning for #2 seed.

Game is at 3:00AM Riga Time, not 3:30AM. My apologies, BillMc :oops

Andre Miller gets start tonight...

Time to get a win in New Orleans. :flag:

Go espuelas.

Keep the guys away from the gumbo, boudin, and etouffee before the game! Time for revenge against these guys!
:flag:

Stay healthy and get the win. :flag:

"I think you can use a vocal guy, but it's got to be done in the right way. I think any team needs that," Gentry said. "But San Antonio is basically a quiet team. Kawhi [Leonard] is not gonna be a guy that says a lot. I think leading by example and things like that is always good. I'm sure, if you're a quiet guy and you're getting 22 [points] and you're a lockdown defender and leading the league in 3-point shooting, I'm sure the coach is OK if you don't say a whole lot."

GO SPURS GO!!

Yeah, I got mixed feelings tbh.

No Ish Smith to destroy us this time.

It will be good either way imo, so there isn't any real rooting interest. at least from a distance once the game gets into the 4th I will know which way I want the result to go but from here either result has equal positives. Which way would you prefer?

Good thing playoff games aren't on TV.

Hopefully Davis sits, though after Gentry ripped into them last night I fully expect the Pelicans to annihilate the Spurs with or without him.

Anthony Davis lmao. Has been laying eggs since his fluke 59pt game.... Overrated

Please beat these clowns tonight tbh

I don't buy the Pelicans being a nightmare matchup for the Spurs like others on here believe. But I know the Spurs haven't won in New Orleans in a while. This would be a good win even though the Pelicans aren't a playoff team.

Gotta win tonight to keep our perfect B2B game record intact.

need revenge for that nasty injury! Has Anderson already apologized for that?

The last player to lay an egg after a 55+ point game: Porker:lol

Davis held to nine points after his 59-point performance
After exploding for 59 points on Sunday, Anthony Davis was held to just nine points by the Wizards on Tuesday night. The only other player in NBA history to fail to reach double-digits in points after scoring 55 or more points the previous game is Tony Parker. On November 7, 2008 Parker scored just four points in 10 minutes of action against the Heat after scoring 55 points against the Timberwolves in his previous game. :lmao

Trap game tbh. Pelicans always seem to have our number.

So K-Mart will allready play? ;)

well seeing as how parker only played 10 minutes in that game, not surprisingly he only scored 4 pts

Diaw 2.0 watch TBH. Last game against them he only played 8 minutes. I believe Pop was testing our Anderson instead with a lot of switching defensively, but it might be time for Dias to wake up for this one.

this is probably my most hated irrelevant team..I hate these fuckers because they play like gangbusters against us but perform like turds against the rest of the league..It doesn't help their case that Anderson nearly ended Manu career..

Let's blow'em out at that whatever shitty named arena they have :flag:

If no sincere apology came from Anderson.....

Are there any Spurfans willing to smack his kneecaps?

Where are all the "Trap game" posts?

Guess this isn't one...

I'm pretty sure Parker got injured in that Heat game and that is why he played 10 minutes.

:lol ElNono hasn't been in with his tarp picture... but I put out a search and rescue for Diaw 2.0, so we'll see.

As always- I'll be here with you brethren. I'm just a quiet fucker, drinking and doing whatever else I do, watching the game.

GO SPURS.

:claw + :lma + :pop: = :lobt2:

GO SPURS GO!!!!!!!

no Asik/Ajinca for Pellies..Need to limit AD/Anderson and we should be fine..no excuse really with NOLA playing on B2B too..

Dat Randy Foye lock-down D & Al Jefferson rim protection though...:wakeup

:flag:

Pop's already about to kill someone.

Very quick TO....

Nice defense Parker.

Fuck these slow starts in the ass

I fucking hate the Pelicans.

Lol timeout already. Slow starters doing slow starter things

That first play to get a Danny Green dribble that led to nothing.... Sheesh :lol

Followed up by a Duncan post up on the Pels best and only post defender :lol

Poop has to be a bottom 5 coach out of timeouts/ tipoffs

wtf

And it's always Duncan and Parker trying to run a two man game in the beginning of games that clogs everything up. Give it to the two alphas and get the fuck out of the way
