He'll get what's coming to him. I'll laugh when he breaks his hip after BAYNES slams him onto the court next game.
Are you pissed about him taking that last shot?

Same ass who hits people in the balls when things aren't going his way. He'll get what's coming.
It was low class not to run out the clock in that situation. Waste of time to get pissed off over that.
damn I must've walked away, lots of people complaining about this but I don't remember it. if he did take that shot, yeah it's generally considered a low class thing.
I wouldn't mess with this guy
Tim's expression said it all.
Meh, Portland probably won't even make the playoffs, tbh, let their players enjoy the 3rd game of the season..
I'm also a strong advocate of taunting, talking and trolling of any nature, tbh, so if you want to avoid these types of situations, stop the opposing team and win the game, tbh..
Every single player in the Blazer lineup who played with the exception of Batum and Wright (didn't shoot) shot better than 50%. With defense like that, the Spurs deserved everything they got tonight.
Nicolas Batum was very apologetic after the game. When his half-court three went in, he said. "I was like, ‘Oh, no.’"
"That is maybe the worst thing I’ve done in my career right now," Batum said. "I want to apologize to the Spurs organization, becausethat didn’t show good (respect) for the game, for myself, for the Blazers. I don’t really want to disrespect this team."
Spurs coach Gregg Popovich said he wasn't upset about Batum's 3 @ buzzer: "Why would I be mad at that? He's a good kid. I don't care."
Yup, as a team they shot 56%, Spurs shot 50%!
who cares, tbh
who gives a . id sign thag french got in a minute and release bonner to.the lions
shrug of the shoulder, tbh
Dude apologized. Was a dumb thing to do, nothing to worry over.

lmao this french got cant even benchpress 13 pounds. u kidding me?
Thanks twice LakerHater. First, for the photo of Tim's expressions and then for the apologetic statements by Batum. It looked chump...
laughable that ppl saying it was disrespectful. How could it. He shoot the ball and made a basket, that's what this game is about.
Game is 48 minutes long tbh
basketball etiquette is bull , don't lose and you won't have to complain about that
It wasn't until the end when the Spurs started closing out hard on intermediate jumpers that the Blazers started getting inside.
Other than that it was a ton of Aldridge jumpers that opened everything up. When you have a guy that is 6'10" and hitting 18 footer after 18 footer then you are ed. Even his post ups turned into jumpers. Williams was doing a lot of that as well. That opened up everything else.
Seems like half the people around here are simply punitive and are looking for someone or something to blame. How about we give some credit to the Blazers who played a of a ball game?
I thought it was more of a mental lapse, probably didn't think it was going to actually go in. Batum doesn't seem like that type of guy especially with his history with SA.
Absolutely. They couldn't miss if they tried out there. The few shots that did miss were awfully close to going in.
Aldridge was murderous out there, and they just played a lot harder, and with more heart. They're a young ball-club who wants to make the play-offs, so they're leaving it all out there every night. Spurs are still experimenting with rotations and will continue to do so for a better part of the season like last season, so right now it's mad-scientist mode for Pop.
If the Spurs can put a lid on arguably the best backcourt in the NBA like they did in the semi's last post-season, then I'm sure the Blazer's shooting percentage in November isn't a cause for concern for the Spurs.
I'm giving the Blazers credit for exploiting the Spurs defense. This isn't some new phenomenon. It's been like this for a while. It was lillard's penetration and Portland's ball movement that led to open shot after open shot. Who the Fvck was guarding wesley Matthews anyways? How about Robin Lopez? Mo williams? Aldridge only accounted for 24 of Portland's 115 points so maybe a contributing factor but certainly not the sole reason they lost the game.
This may be news to some but, when you leave perimeter jump shooters open, you'll get burned more often than not. You should be closing out hard and force players to drive the lane. You have Tim friggin Duncan in the low post for crying out loud.
