what a frustrating game with these garbage refs

[Budkin]

ing Tiago. Well anyway if we play even halfway decent in the 2nd half we got this.

[$pursDynasty]

lol ...floater

Tony taught him well

[xellos88330]

Spurs need to figure out how to handle pressure defense. Too many bad passes and dribbles because of that .

[Raven]

missed the shot but I liked marcos movement off the ball there

except it was a re ed shot, didn't even look at anything just took the ball and shot in a highly inefficient fade away.. that's basically his go-to move most of the time, fine when he's hot, you'll want to kill him when he's not, and no it's not the same as with neal.

If Tiago woulda made 1 FT, we'd be tie!

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago

[freetiago]

Spurs have so many stupid mistakes
if they just cut down on half of them then its a 10+ point game

[BatManu20]

All things considered we played pretty terrible the first half minus Parker, and we're only down by 1.

[Budkin]

Our guys will gel. All new to playing with each other.

[Brunodf]

Everybody but Tony played like , Spurs should be better in the 2nd half...

[RD2191]

both teams shot like in the first half, tbh

[LakerHater]

Spurs-36.7% fLakers- 32.5%

[LakerHater]

[Captivus]

We need the new Patty!

[BillMc]

We got this. Not worried.

the league needs to get rid of that charging rule on a player without the ball. steve blake takes advantage of that every season. u can't even move without the ball now. they need to get rid of charging calls period. not offensive fouls or charging calls when someone pushes off or dips their shoulder, but players standing around waiting for contact. that's destroying the game

[Russo21]

its allright, Miami aren't in a playoff position at the moment lmao

Tbh the league needs to fix this. Another player who takes advantage of that loophole is Battier

[spurraider21]

Fwiw I'm glad I'm at work and can't watch this abortion shooting performance

[Mnky]

Man, the spurs look a lot faster...albeit unable to keep up with their speed as of yet.. I think this bodes well for the future. Good problem to have.

[podesta]

Without any quality big, SAS have no chance.

[DapDaGenius]

What happened to the right side of Bill Simmons' face?

What happened to the right side of Bill Simmons' face?

Lack of evenly distributed makeup, imo

i'm sorry, but splitter is fukin trash. if duncan isn't on the floor with him, he looks like shawn kemp(the orlando magic version)

Splitter looks ok to me. He's crashing the boards and his defense is solid. Yeah, his ISO offense is (especially when matched up against a tall defender like Pau) but it's not like he's hurting the team tonight. He's our second best player after Parker.

Our new signings are garbage though. And Baynes seems to have a very low bball IQ.
