Game Thread: Spurs vs Raptors — Thurs. (01/03) - 7:00/C (3:00am Riga Time)

Aldridge with no effort defensively. Those DDR MVP chants are not what he wanted to hear, tbh..

[emanueldavidginobili]

Great half I’ll take up 16

[james evans]

Goddamn. Ibaka is killing Aldridge

[bklynspursfan]

Not the greatest ending to the half, but still a nice lead. They'll regroup and push this again. They aren't gonna lose this

[Trill Clinton]

I love San Antonio

[emanueldavidginobili]

16-10-5 for DeMar good god

[phxspurfan]

Raps relying on their guards to do the damage, which is correct. Spurs still have ty backcourt defense, even if White is a bright spot.

Agreed.

Goddamn. Ibaka is killing Aldridge

Not really. Aldridge is helping, and daring him to shoot. He's gotta close harder, but Ibaka isn't killing him . Just hitting open shots

[BatManu20]

Great first quarter, below average second one. I’ll take the lead though. Need to come out hungry again early in the third. What will dictate the rest of the half imo.

[Spurtacular]

Forbes running eight feet to the sideline away from anyone is his version of recovery defense. SMDH

[DAF86]

Can we make a collect to raise money to put a hit on Webber?

Hes not really stepping out on Ibaka but that might be part of the gameplan idk. It’s not like Aldridge is struggling on offense.

[duncan2k5]

DeRozan needs to play like every team is the raptors... And we need to trade LMA already...

[spurraider21]

Spurs gonna blow this open in the 3rd.

fify

[Amuseddaysleeper]

I don't feel good about this. Spurs won't shoot 60% for the game and Raps were getting better as the half wore on.

[Keepin' it real]

16-10-5 for DeMar good god

Fool's gold unless he finishes with at least 32-20-10.

[SwansonInSibagat]

DeRozan trying to go 1 on 1 VS Kawhi... Lmfao

And yet your boy is losing, big time.

[phxspurfan]

Ooh, Rockets Warriors should be a good game

[DAF86]

Raps relying on their guards to do the damage, which is correct. Spurs still have ty backcourt defense, even if White is a bright spot.

Good to see you have seen the light in relation to White, tbh.

[RC_Drunkford]

Lmao ibaka is getting destroyed

LaMarcus destroys him everytime

are we in the finals again?

[HankChinaski]

Couple of moments with the our boys losing focus. Forbes made a mentsl lapse or two.

Like that the Spurs are being aggressive an not looking for the scape goat to make shots.

Raps made a few adjustments but Spurs have been able to answer back.

Overall good first half.

[Shastafarian]

Crowd got lulled into a blowout haze. Hopefully it doesn't take another Raptors run to get the crowd involved.

10 seconds to go, Raps down by 1...Kawhi top of the key pulls up for the game winner and sinks it! Raps win! Kawhi lands on White's outstretched foot, crumples to the ground in agony.
