I laugh in the face of fate.
Have a great time at the ame tonight!The Spurs struggled last year in Toronto, but look to reverse the trend this time around.
Kawhi is still a question mark but hopefully he plays. Lowry has been on fire lately and Terrence Ross has come out of a season long slump to show signs of life.
I will be at the game tonight so if you see a random fan run onto the court trying to high five Ginobili only to get tackled by security you'll know it's me.
Spurs should place a friendly wager on this game with the Raps. If we win, Cojo returns to SA with us. If we lose, they get to keep Bonner.
This game has me worried. We don't do well with young athletic teams. I'm afraid a L is coming. Hope I'm wrong.
Kyle Lowry triple double.
CoJo 20 pts.
Scola 4 3pts.
Spurs lose.
Should hopefully be a win considering both Carroll and Valunciunas are out, but you never know playing in Toronto. Would be nice if Kawhi could play.
Id rather lose than get a player injured
This. Nothing against Amused, but that that injury curse that walks beside him.the non-injury thread
Sorry Amused, I would support your thread if Kawhi played tonight... But he's most likely not. Can't risk an injury to our most important players LMA, Parker, Duncan, Green, Ginobili, Mills, Diaw, West, Anderson, Simmons, Butler, Boban, & McCallum.
Kawhi playing
Nice. I'm sure Pop will limit his minutes.
Enough with the kid gloves already. Dude missed one game, not 1 year.Kawhi playing
Pop says Kawhi is good to go
Thanks buddy
He "took fluid"? So...he drank something.Kawhi playing
Spurs play some strange games in Toronto, for whatever reason.
Last year, they shot 33% at ACC; the worst team shooting performance of the Duncan era also took place in Toronto in February 2002, when the Spurs shot 24% for the game, still managed to get it to overtime, and ended up losing by 6 while managing only 35 points in the 29 minutes after halftime. In early 2004-05, they had a 19 point lead at the end of 3 quarters and lost by 5, getting outscored 33-9 in the 4th (mostly by Rafer Alston and Lamond Murray).
On the flip side, 2 of the 10 best road shooting performances in the Duncan era have both happened in Toronto -- a 59.8% night in a 26 point win in 2003 and a 59.0% night in February of 2006. In keeping with the weirdness of Toronto games, though, the 2006 game went to overtime even though the Raps shot only 49% from the floor on only 2 more FGA than the Spurs and even though the Spurs had fewer turnovers.
They're somehow still 10-6 in Toronto during the championship era, but I think the best bet for any game in Toronto at this point is that something funky will happen.
This is the game thread thenPop says Kawhi is good to go
I'm assuming he got IV treatments.He "took fluid"? So...he drank something.

“He’s getting back and feeling pretty good,” Popovich said this morning. “I think he’ll probably play. They gave him some fluid, and it’s been another day. He might start out a little slow and get his rhythm back, but he’ll be fine.”
Yea, he's probably no longer dehydrated, but Pop is likely to not play him heavy minutes. We shouldn't need to anyways. Without Carroll and Valanciunas Toronto has struggled lately.
Raptors is #8 in Power Rankings. http://espn.go.com/nba/powerrankings I should expect some decent compe ion for a change.
Celtics were #9 and Spurs weren't able to blow them out.
Should be a good test, the Raptors almost beat GSW a couple days ago.

Raptors are very solid at home. Ginobili always gets a nice reception when he comes to town. I've been to every Spurs game in Toronto since the 2003-2004 season and my favorite is probably the OT win the Spurs had back in 2012: http://espn.go.com/nba/recap?id=400277911
And BatManu20 I am not looking to mess with your game threads/win streak. Only started the game thread cause I was going to the game. From here on out, it's all you man
So threads were merged?
Alright now that Kawhi should be playing, I'll be a bit disappointed if we lose to the Raptors. I know it's in Toronto, but they're missing 2 starters.
This is trending on Raptor forums
