LOL. I'm not doing any wrist slashing. We've just seen too many Spurs campaigns hobbled by Manu injuries not to worry about it a little.

No worries, Simmons got it

[Johnny RIngo]

Diaw has been amazing tonight

[Ron Swanson]

Bobo!

[sasaint]

dammit Danny, gotta make those

Man, opponents will start dropping off him if he can't nail those WIDE open corner treys.

[SAGirl]

J.Simms showing up big without Manu!

[ElNono]

Bono won us this game, tbh

[NASpurs]

If Manu is truly injured and we get THIS JSimms, then Manu should take all the time he needs to recuperate.

Mean to tell me Indy is going to get gift wrapped ANOTHER freebie by the refs after the timeout? This reffing has been so one-sided it's not even practical... and AGAINST the home team

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.

Duncan goes out, defense picks up. I love Tim but this just isn't his type of game.

[Fireball]

Simmons impressive on offense, but what bwas that on defense? he just ran under the basket and stayed there with nobody around him?

[Ron Swanson]

He was limping.
He had a play where he fell after (was it a kind of floater, I can't remember), didn't get back in the play, then curling, Monta Ellis bumped him.

Could be nothing, and Pop just being careful here in the 4th. He was clearly in pain though.

Yeah I had missed the hip thing. I sure hope it is nothing. Don't expect to see him again tonight, but maybe he can shake it off in a day or two.

[Ron Swanson]

Oh hi, Rachel.

I remember the play - a long floater from the left baseline. I thought he didn't get up immediately because he thought he was fouled. But I missed the limping.

[ElNono]

Manu just banged up... He was sitting on the bench, so prob nothing major... Gonna hurt tomorrow though

[Kawhitstorm]

Can someone guard this horsetooth mother er

Jordan Hill is good at two things: Making open jumpers & offensive rebounds (b/c nobody cares to block him out). He is a terrible defender, got to see enough of him on the Lakers.

Bobo!

Boris spectacular this game.
Kawhi has just been on another level too.

Overall though, at times we had like no energy out there.

[Uriel]

Is Kawhi Leonard already better than Tony / Manu were at their prime? He's already a top 5 player in the NBA—something neither of the other two have ever been.

[NASpurs]

Not surprised that Bono is at +15, has been killing the Pacers

[GSH]

[Silver&Black]

What happened? Did Pop get a tech?

sorry, but that was just plain stupid by Simmons ... refs are looking more closely at defensive 3 seconds and he does that ?

[EVAY]

Bono won us this game, tbh

Absolutely

[Silver&Black]

Way to stick with it Simmons...

[r0drig0lac]

Simms!!!
