[Kori Ellis]

Ice009 and DPG - take your little fest elsewhere, thanks.

[Libri]

Much needed 3 by Hill.

[loveforthegame]

Timely 3 pointers by Jefferson and Hill.

[OldSilentHill]

Ok, Manu got a rebound and gave an assit for a 3pts.

Let´s gooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!

PS: another 3 !!!!!!!!

[gm5k]

thank you RJ for getting the 4th quarter started right.

[Ice009]

Man that scorekeeper is fast. before I could even look down at the screen it was changed already.

1. 2nd of a btb
2. on the road
3. without Tim
4. against a young, athletic team that gives us fits and is our new Bucks.


I said before the game we had about a 20% chance of winning, I stand by that.

How about play the bench

[ezau]

finally, RJ showing up

Seriously guys who is being the bigger bag in this thread with insults towards other members? Hint it's not me.

Is this thread not used for venting about the game and players or is it used for DPG to try and one up other posters? lol that's exactly what you are doing DPG. If you can't realize that great.

You know I vent in game threads. If you can't take it why don't you put me on ignore?

I know what I am doing. I am trolling you like you do every game. You constantly bash TP and make no sense in the process. Take a hint. You might have a valid point if I was the only one saying anything, but almost everybody can't stand your posting. Should all of ST put you on ignore? What does that say about you?

[spurspokesman]

I guess there is no intention of playing Ian anymore.

Ian is gonna be officially traded. He played very well and pop doesn't want to take a chance of him playing bad. Not good when baiting other suitors. Just my gut feeling.

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

Ian must've seen this coming when he made the "I hope this isn't just one and done" after the Nets game.

You would think 15 and 9 with some solidd defense would earn you more minutes with Pop.

I guess not playing defense and shooting the three ball is more important.

[Brazil]

I don't understand pop at all no time-outs no young legs ultra small ball when durant is festing inside;... I don't know this guy is crazy or too clever for me

[Shastafarian]

I said before the game we had about a 20% chance of winning, I stand by that.

What would the % be if a shot blocker was being played instead of McDyess?

[Crookshanks]

The Spurs are gonna have to make a bunch of 3s to win this IMO..the energy isn't going to be there for a grind-out game..

I guess they heard you! lol

5. Pop has his head up his ass and has Ian and Ratliff riding the pine while watching us get killed in the paint with RJeff playing PF

fify.

[Ice009]

Ice009 and DPG - take your little fest elsewhere, thanks.

I didn't start it though Kori. I was commenting on Tp's play and DPG started hurling insults towards me left and right.

I am quite happy to stop if he stops trying to do whatever he is trying to do.

Question : Am I not allowed to comment on players in this thread? Like i said i usually vent about the game here why can't he put me on ignore if he doesn't like it?

[Brazil]

I'm sure Manu is going to win this game for us he can't finish scoreless

[gm5k]

Durant is such a BALLER.

[mystargtr34]

and?

Point is McDyess just doesnt serve a purpose against this team. He doesnt block shots or protect the rim. Plus he just doesnt have any energy and hes 36 years old playing on a B2B. Should have put Ian in...

PS. I hate the +/- stat

[HarlemHeat37]

Mason throws up a horrible shot over 3 guys instead of throwing it back out to an open McDyess..

These guys are tired..

[BanditHiro]

man i remember when the spurs use to on the so called "athletic" ball clubs of the NBA

[Brazil]

Dice dice dice

[Shastafarian]

There really aren't words to describe how frustrating this is. The Thunder announcers have said "again there's no shot blocker" at least 10 times. Maybe they should coach the Spurs.

[TJastal]

I love Pop, but what the kind of coaching is this?..

The Spurs are going up against a super-athletic team that owns us with the same type of style every time we play them..we're coming off a back-to-back..

his solution is to play an 8-man rotation that has literally no C and no interior presence on the defensive side, which includes an old man in McDyess..this is while having 2 shot blockers in Ratliff/Mahinmi on the bench, along with a completely fresh Haislip and could have had a fresh Hairston if he had him activated..

It's puzzling..

The Spurs are gonna have to make a bunch of 3s to win this IMO..the energy isn't going to be there for a grind-out game..

This surprises you? This is the type of coaching that completely screws this team up every time it gets momentum.

[mystargtr34]

Maybe if Ibaka starts owning McDyess we might see some Ian..
