Game Thread Spurs @ Raptors 6:00PM CT, 7:00PM ET, 2:00AM Riga

Yup. And check out their NBA page, they refuse to mention he didn't play but make sure to state Derozan didn't play.

My god. They are really a joke at times .

My god. They are really a joke at times .

They're more concerned kissing the Dubs ass and covering fake wrestling.

[SAGirl]

I was looking for you earlier. Kyle rebounded his ass off, and played well enough all the way around. When the Spurs were up by 3 with 9 seconds and Powell came flying at him in the paint, I thought for sure he was gonna get called for reaching. He pulled back at the last moment, so we're making some progress.

He just had a cold shooting game I thought, which was unfortunate bc scoring was needed. I was super glad Forbes, Davis and Mills were on tonight, specially Forbes bc he had so far been off and I really didn't know what to expect. Kyle was ok. I would have liked him to shoot better but I think dude is definitely not used to this kind of minutes and he played 35 last night.... I hope that his shot comes back.

Spurs are now 20-4 on the road this season - just the eighth team in NBA history to win 20 of its first 24 road games.

San Antonio is now 36-9 this season - the second-best start through 45 games the Spurs have ever had in franchise history.


Jordan Howenstine ‏@AirlessJordan






Now 36-9, Spurs have won 25+ of their first 45 games the last 20 years. No other team has more than 15 such seasons. 20 teams have under 10.

The East really sucks, tbh

top 3 seeds in the east on a combined 9 game losing streak

[DPG21920]

Clippers blew a massive lead to PHI.

[SAGirl]

I'm glad Kyle is getting to play.

We are getting to witness some of the slowest layups I have ever seen.
Last night against the Nets he made some of the most extended layups ever observed. His drives ran right into commercial timeouts. We are now asking new questions in science involving events that completely stop. Electrons cease to move and atomic bonds are falling apart... amazing stuff.

funny stuff... lol

[Arcadian]

Uh, Aldridge made 2/4 of his late FTs. Yet people are acting like he went 0/4.

[$pursDynasty]

But they seem stuck in the 4th seed. I would prefer them lodged at 5.

[PopTheGOAT]

Clippers blew a massive lead to PHI.

And people were worried about them overtaking HOU lol.
...
LAC next 13 include 3 games vs GSW, HOU, SA, BOS, TOR ...w out CP3

They ain't overtaking shii lmao

[TXstbobcat]

Spurs become the 8th team in NBA history to start a season 20-4 or better on the road

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Uh, Aldridge made 2/4 of his late FTs. Yet people are acting like he went 0/4.

He is absolutely not an all star this year. Also ed up his free throws in Cleveland.

The @spurs currently hold the best road record in the @NBA Coach Pop credits great character from youth, quick learning and chemistry

[Dex]

at beating the 2nd seed in the East with no Kawhi, a rookie and two backups starting, two more rookies off the bench getting serious minutes, and the bench crew.

How did Anderson look as an SF? Thoughts ob mUrray? I missed the whole game. No time to watch replay

Someone might do grades. He was ok, still same old slomo. He was fine on D and made some nice passes but his shot was off tonight. Since Danny had a horrible shooting night and Dijon turned things up later in the game but was shaky to start as well I would have liked to have seen him score more. He did draw some fouls and moved the ball to find open guys. Toronto played a lot of small ball and he came up with some important rebounds to close out the game and an offensive board and putback that was important late in the game.

Dijon had an uneven game... shaky for some stretches but turning things up in the clutch. I am impressed by him being a rookie playing so well to close out the game.

Overall, from the new guys I was very impressed with Bertans. He's an impressive offensive player and I think he could have played more myself.

Kyle had a nice game. Shot didn't fall but he's looking more confident. At one point he got the ball on the break and 2 minutes later he finished at the rim with a nice layup. It was exciting.

50% is not that good in crunch minutes. Especially after his missed FTs in the CLE game.

I think HarlemHeat37 was supposed to do the grades?

[cutewizard]

incredible win by my super SPURS!!!!

[cutewizard]

True grit right there..............beating Toronto, on the road, with most of our stars not playing......

[Arcadian]

It wasn't a disaster though. If I didn't know better, just from reading this thread I would think Aldridge played like and cost the team. It seems like everyone hates him here. I like him though. Such a dynamic player. Can post up anybody, and can drain outside jumpers all day. Turned out to be a nice defender too.
