That would be good news!

Even though DeRozan usually plays out of his mind versus the Spurs, I actually think his absence, combined with Patterson's return (maybe their 2nd most indispensable player due to the construction of their roster), boosts their chances of winning this game.

Their best five man lineups in the Lowry-DeRozan era, always feature Lowry and the four primary bench players, because it means the ball is in Lowry's hands more and there's more spacing and generally a better defender alongside him.

They're also rested, have been struggling for a while and are coming off an inexplicable home loss to the Suns, so they'll likely be more motivated for this game than the Spurs, who usually struggle in Toronto.

Lowry usually struggles against big/physical guards so if Pop rotates Danny/Kawhi on him it's probably checkmate. Ross is the only guy that could go off but he's most likely going to have Kawhi or Danny guarding him at least in the 4th quarter. Maybe there could be a CoJo revenge game if Patty is guarding him & Lee is playing center.:lol

Go Spurs!
I hope DAF86 and I whoop it up tonight!

Go Murray! Go Mills! Kill them Kawhi! Don't get in foul trouble Dead Man! Stay on that low block and bully LMA!
Keep showing that aggression and defensive prowess Kyle!

Close down Jurassic Park.

Sup son? You ready to go?

No Kawhi and Simmons (?:lol) as well as no Parker and Gasol

Pink OP, nazi mods. Chop chop

Kawhi was going to play, but when Pop saw OP started the thread he said "Fuck that shit."

:lol

No Kawhi? Yeah this is a loss after all.

Well shit..

:lol of course, and with GSW losing last night, of course the Spurs were going to throw this one seeing as this is the pattern

It's all good boys. Murray > Lowry, tbh.

Fuck, no Kawhi :(

Hopefully manu plays at least.

Fuck that, I want them to forfeit. Look what you've caused already and the game hasn't even started. Manu will probably die on the court.

Maah, fuck that shit. I was pumped for this one.

I really hope Manu plays during an Amused game thread..... hopefully it will save our season

Tired schticks are tired.

No injuries, I promise.


No DeRozan should help us since the Spurs usually struggle guarding him and for us Kawhi and Manu are probable.


Let's keep the win streak alive :flag:

Why do you feel the unmanageable urge of starting game threads, son? Seriously, you are not like other attention whores that start threads every 5 minute for every little thing, but when it comes to game threads you just can't keep it in your pants. Why is that son? You should get it check, tbh.

Top seed lost one night, Spurs gonna Spurs and do everything on their hands to lose the next day #SpursLaw
