Game Thread #4: Spurs @ Knicks -- Mon. (11/2) - 6:30PM CST (2:30AM Riga Time)

Odd that Peter Holt's Spurs have commercials for Volvo construction equipment when Holt sells Cats.

[Fireball]

Something about Anderson is that even though he's slow, he has had good stretches of his defense just using his length. It gives me hope for his future.

yup ... with his length and wingspan he showed the ability to recover ... right now Pop is not benching him because of his defense

[100%duncan]

Should still be undefeated tbh. We ed up in that first game. This easy stretch will be nice to help the team gel though, get us through some of the growing pains.

Welp yeah. I'd even gladly take that Thunder win if it means losing against New York tonight

[UNT Eagles 2016]

There was a layup glitch in nba 2k8 that made Steve Nash damn near unstoppable. I was like the 15th ranked player in the world on 2k8 on the 360

Marion was a beast on the glass, Amare in the paint etc... not to mention all the shooters... that team was fun as to play with

[BillMc]

wouldn't be surprised if he gets that again, tbh... the NBA tends to give it to the same guy multiple times while spurning other guys, see Ben Wallace, Dwight Howard, etc

Agreed.

Which makes it more of a shame that Timmy never won it. If he wins one, he might have three.

[Raven]

Knicks bench has much more firepower than their starters, outside of Carmelo..mostly because they're starting a Calderon/Vujacic backcourt, probably the worst in the NBA..

i can think of a worse one tbh

[BD24]

15th ranked, no way, can I have your autograph?

Was actually more or less stating how glitchy the game was. If you were good at the glitch you could drop 80 or so a game with Nash fairly easily.

[HarlemHeat37]

Pretty crazy that in just a year and a half, the Spurs went from a historically balanced team that needed to play elite team basketball to win, to today's team that is relying strictly on individual talent advantages to overwhelm the opposition..

Atleast for now it's legitimate.

[DMC]

Renner's hair has tackless strips holding it down, and carpet pad beneath it.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

yup ... with his length and wingspan he showed the ability to recover ... right now Pop is not benching him because of his defense

but yet he looked like a traffic cone against Anthony Morrow and Dion Waiters.....

[BillMc]

thanks mate

[Mr. Body]

Porzingis looks great. He's like the player Bargnani was supposed to be, plus lots of rebounds. This isn't the ty Knicks anymore. They're not great but they have some young players who aren't bad.

[milkyway21]

hope GS wins over Memphis

SA win division lead

No more crazy than going from a grind it out post up game to run and gun.

[BD24]

Marion was a beast on the glass, Amare in the paint etc... not to mention all the shooters... that team was fun as to play with

They were, throw in the layup glitch and the team was damn near unbeatable. I eventually started to try and outscore people with just Nash, was a good way to piss people off. Especially the afro americans

[ChumpDumper]

Well the Spurs don't sell the commercial time; doubt there would be a restriction against that.

[Robz4000]

Whose starting on the Lakers? Kirbs and D'bust or is Clarkson still starting?

[100%duncan]

Pretty crazy that in just a year and a half, the Spurs went from a historically balanced team that needed to play elite team basketball to win, to today's team that is relying strictly on individual talent advantages to overwhelm the opposition..

But still have that option

I know, I was just busting your balls

[Mr. Body]

West looks awesome with Duncan. I'd like to see more Diaw with Aldridge on the flip side. Once LMA gets comfortable that could be a great combo too.

You're forgetting we still have a ton of playmakers and smart guys to make that happen, we're not talking about OKC's gimmick take turns with KD and Westy ball, tbh

[Warlord23]

The starters have been pretty good, but the 2nd half of a back-to-back is when tired legs become a factor. Need some points from the likes of Green, Anderson, West and Diaw

[DMC]

Porzingis looks great. He's like the player Bargnani was supposed to be, plus lots of rebounds. This isn't the ty Knicks anymore. They're not great but they have some young players who aren't bad.

As long as they have Carmelo, they are ty.

[Fireball]

do not remind of that game ... but Waiters did not on Anderson tbh
