Game Thread: Spurs vs Cavs -- Thurs. (1/14) - 7:00PM CST (3:00AM Riga Time)

Hate quarters like that because it guarantees the Spurs are going to be playing catch up all game and ultimately come up short.

[james evans]

we're gonna be ok. We ended the quarter good. I'm happy

[Texas_Ranger]

Green is the worst SG starter in the NBA.

[hater]

Delisandwich and JR going in doggy style on them spurs

[TDfan2007]

They're getting good looks. Cavs are brimming with confidence. Spurs need to cut down to 6 or less by halftime hopefully.

They're hitting regardless. 3 stepback jumpers and that weird fingerroll by Love in traffic. We're compounding things with awful D and poor shot-making

[SAGirl]

Turd Towers rim protection

D.West late.
We are royally screwed if the team is going to play like this against elite compe ion.

[Silver&Black]

Down by 12...32-20. Need to get our together.

[Fireball]

TP exiting the game put us in a hole ... Patty had some nice plays in the end, but a little late tbh

[Nathan89]

Need to get some length on Delly. Have Mills guard Shump.

[Vokun]

We need a quick spark. Put in Simmons or Boban or both.

[sasaint]

cavs making it look easy

Shooting a great percentage - some tough shots but mostly open looks. Big problem is we are not close to their energy level.

[tholdren]

Danny green needs cut

[ElNono]

Coasting. Non-Issue

[timtonymanu]

Green is the worst SG starter in the NBA.

Even though that isn't true, there is still Andre Roberson.

[RD2191]

Lol spurs. Exposed as frauds once again. Blow it up. Rebuild.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

We have to get this W above all, tbh... won't be a Spurs fan for quite a long time if we don't win this one... can't be this gutless

[Perry Mason]

Cavs are playing with a lot of energy and intensity. They will tire out. Spurs need to keep playing their game and speed up.

These Cavs play like the 2013/2014 Heat - tons of swarming and interference on defense (not as many traps).

[hater]

and Kylie hasn't even taken off his jacket

[BanditHiro]

is this a worst effort than the Houston x-mas game?

[spursistan]

Settling for Manu step-back 3 at end of quarter is a telegraphed Spurs go-to move..All teams ready for that ..

[loveforthegame]

Leonard busting his ass off on defense. Going up against the best player in the world. And getting treated like a step child on offense. Sad.

[BillMc]

Reel em in

[Arcadian]

FG% will regress to the mean for both teams. Spurs will be right back in this.

[Killakobe81]

Still early but this doesnt look like all time elite defense. Hood news is Kiwi can still punish defenders his size or smaller still can check LeBron (with help) and manu Mills and green have all hit deep shots.

[Fireball]

Wtf is going on?????

as always Spurs are getting their asses handed to them on national TV

Cavs defense is really good though
