I have a horrible feeling the Nets are going to be playing up to their pre-season expectations only against us. We cannot lose this game please.
Starting Lineups:
Spurs (24-7):
Tony Parker
Marco Belinelli
Kawhi Leonard
Tim Duncan
Tiago Splitter
Nets (10-20):
Deron Williams
Joe Johnson
Paul Pierce
Mirza Teletović
Kevin Garnett
Brooklyn opened a difficult three-game trip with a 105-91 loss to Indiana on Saturday. The Nets held the Pacers to 19 points in the final quarter but scored just 15 and finished with 35 in the second half. They were also outrebounded 41-28.
"We just have to figure it out," said forward Mirza Teletovic, who had 17 points in his fifth start in seven games. "I think one day it will come together."
Nets coach Jason Kidd has tried to find the right starting lineup with Brook Lopez out for the season due to a broken foot. Kevin Garnett has moved into Lopez's spot at center, and Joe Johnson has played at forward and guard in the last four games.
Alan Anderson and Shaun Livingston have gotten starts along with Teletovic.
"I need everyone to be better, both offensively and defensively," said Kidd, who was on the 2003 Nets team that lost to San Antonio. "We can only do it as a team. It's not going to be just one person."
The Nets are facing teams that are a combined 73-17 on the trip, which ends Thursday against Oklahoma City. On this stop, they might focus more on limiting Parker, who averaged 24.5 points on 61.8 percent shooting and 8.5 assists in last season's two meetings.

This has trap game written all over it.
Remember last year when we played them on new years and blew them out
the Nets announcers were saying something like the new year cant come soon enough after the Spurs held them to 5 points in the third quarter
Pure perimeter shooting team
The Spurs cannot have a bad start, like they've had for the past few games... Spurs probably have celebration and parties on their mind for New Years. Gotta take care of business first, before the Cognac comes out.
21st in defensive efficiency this month.
Marco still starting?
Thanks.
Let's get off to a good start and blow 'em out like we were in November.
Just got home from happy hour and ready for the game.
Happy New Year fellow Spurs fans!!!!!
Spurs win while one cruise control.
lmao. i love the silhouette of garnett on that advertisement. a optimistic arent we!
Just caught that, as if Garnetts goofy head could be mistaken for anyone else's.
Why are you guys worried about? Even our second bench can win by double digits against these scrubs.
Game will be over before halftime.
Tank for Wiggins.

Splitter is worst than Bonner. There, I said it.
