Game Thread: Spurs @ Pelicans December 26th, 2014

[Beaverfuzz]

I'm a stay off this forum for a few days if Spurs lose this one. This place will implode with the tears of fans who've had it too good too long

But but but we might not win 50 games this year

What about the streak

Get into the Golden State/Memphis Pod and the Spurs are golden. Still a lot of hoops left to be played WITH Patty and Kawhi.

[Ditty]

Parker has been ty any time he's stepped on the court though. 2013 Tony ain't coming back. At best, you'll see 2014 Parker who wasn't all that great anyway.

His explosiveness hasn't been there but I like what I've seen from his outside shot these last two games. Hopefully he will turn it on when he needs too when it comes to making some noise in the paint when it matters.

Amazing what happens when 40 year old players are pushed to the limit bc a certain 32 yr old PG is babying a day to day injury.

WTF is TP problem anyway? If its just a pain issue you gotta man up and just get out there and play somtimes.

[look_at_g_shred]

I love this team.

[Rescueone]

Every team goes through a tough schedule! But c'mon, no excuses Sean!!

[Silver&Black]

I predict our end of year record will still be 53-29

I like your optimism....

[Pelicans78]

Geez Ginobili sucks.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs only two games above 9th place lol pathetic.

$56 million over the next four years for the French got
$22 million for fat Boris.

Spurs got ripped off by team France.

Would that be enough wins for a playoff spot in the West this year?

[Brunodf]

I miss those days when Belinelli was injured and our defense was #1

[Beaverfuzz]

Insert "he" and it makes sense. Your question was stupid and way off point. Why the would anyone call him a pfs? He can play when pgs are out and plays good enough. When the sf is out we don't have someone that plays good enough. That's the difference.

You said call him whatever I want, so I'm calling him a PF.

Should be....wasn't 50 the number for Dallas last year?

[spurtech09]

spurs look out of sync

[ElNono]

I thought we played well, we just don't have enough right now... Unfortunately, the slow pace on offense really prevent us from scoring easy baskets, and we can't put enough points on the board. I also didn't like Pop running with a lineup that didn't include TD or Manu. That's when the game got away from us.

Onto the next one.

Another close game

Maybe the problem here is not the team's execution but Pop's game plan?
Just asking.

'mild hamstring strain'

Not even joking it is a day to day type injury. Derrick Rose who is known for being soft with injuries had the exact same thing and was appropriately listed as day to day. Enrique is going on like 3 weeks of milking it.

[BillMc]

Easily. I'd say that would put us about 6th or 7th.

His court vision sucks, his defense is among the worst in the league for his position. The only thing he's doing well is shooting threes. He's overpaid and declining. And still plans on playing international ball this summer.

I wouldn't say he's babying it, but.....you're right, he is babying it. Nut up and let everyone play their true positions TONY!

Pop extending their lead from 4 to 11 in 5 minutes with a Cojo/Green/Beli/Bonner/Baynes lineup

[Rescueone]

Ok, on to the next one!!

Boris atleast has the France NT excuse. I think he's pulling a Horry and preserving himself this season.

If you think Joseph is a pf then feel free to call him that.
