Game Thread: Spurs vs Pacers -- Mon. (12/21) - 7:30PM CST (3:30AM Riga Time)

[UNT Eagles 2016]

No more playing Duncan and Aldridge together tonight. Spurs have feasted when one of West or Diaw are in.

yeah, but the Pacers have feasted even more with them in the game. Open your eyes and don't just look at the hoop we're shooting on

I love U2

Totally agree.

Ha, gay!

Do you mean Boban?

Stop it, he's on a roll. I was looking forward to those Bono minutes in the second half.

[RD2191]

And yes I know who U2 is gawd dammit!

[Silver&Black]

Ha, gay!

How ya been Mi negro?

Leonard needs to step the up on both ends, D is bad and he's shooting like

Duncan can't stay with any of their perimeter plays resulting in wide open shots. You should pay more attention.

Pretty typical first quarter to me, i.e., the first team starts slowly (though I was surprised that Kawhi's shot was not falling as much as usual - he looked like he was pressing a bit to me), then the bench comes in and plays such a different tempo that the other team can't adjust immediately and they get a good lead, and then give it back on the defensive end.

Second quarter was sloppier than usual in part, I think because Pop started switching out rotations pretty quickly. Green was in and then out, KA was in and then out, Simmons was in then and did some good stuff, but you can tell that the chemistry isn't the same when people are switching out pretty quickly.

Both LMA and Kawhi have missed some shots they usually make, and I assume that will improve in the second half.

This game can go any way, but I am hoping that our normal pattern continues and we improve as the game goes on.

Duncan? When Duncan went out of the game the Pacers had 6 points more than halfway through the 1st quarter. When Duncan came back in, they had like 37 with 8 minutes left in the 2nd. You pay attention, the Turd Towers are just killing us on defense.

Bono needs to play more, IMO... and the Pacers

Pop moves in mysterious ways!

Do you mean Boban?
If so yes.
This game is too close for my taste.
Pacers are not even playing that well.

Sorry Bobo

[ElNono]

Don't hate on U2 tho

[UNT Eagles 2016]

U2 > Warriors > Thunder > Spurs > Leastern Conference

I have been spoiled by a few of our games, wanting the leads to get in early so I can watch the deep bench...
lol
We should be ahead on this team, but you got a good summary of the action.

Bruh, you gotta stop raging so hard.

[timtonymanu]

Pretty mediocre game so far. Spurs can play much better.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

You CANNOT GIFT WRAP THEM THREES! ARE YOU ING RE ED?!?!??

[Silver&Black]

Danny Green's shot is ing broke right now.

[loveforthegame]

Sit Green.

[Kawhitstorm]

Replace Danny w/ G.Hill & the team would be unbeatable

[TXstbobcat]

Leonard!!!!!!!

[Silver&Black]

There you go Kawhi...get it going this quarter.
