Game Thread: Spurs @ Cavs -- Sat. (1/30) - 7:30PM CST (3:30AM Riga Time)

[SpurPadre]

Let's see, Simmons plays well in the first half and Pop's answer is to not play him and Danny in the third....riiighhhhhhhttttttt.

[hitmanyr2k]

Lol at blaming the refs when SA s have given up 92 points with a whole quarter to play :

Exactly. Kevin Love is getting practice shots. Lebron is killing these fools with transition buckets because they're too lazy to get back on defense or even attempt to get in position to take a charge but it's the refs fault.

[SAGirl]

Pop pulled Green early to put in Manu who had been in full Ginobyl form all game. Just a minus coaching move.

Yea I would have sat Manu.
I think Pop wanted the ball to move in general.. but it didn't happen, hero ball happened.
Then Patty to get some 3s, I understand the idea but it was a disaster.

I wonder if we didn't see Manu/Simmons bc the mess they engaged in against GSW turning the ball over crazily.
Still Manu made this game worse.

Lmao, people freaking out over a meaningless regular season game, who really cares if we lose this game or not? Even if we lose we are still on pace for the best record in the spurs era, reality check people

[CGD]

Really starting to wonder what future Anderson has on this team.

[Uriel]

I love the Spurs, but sometimes, they really ruin my day.

[SpursforSix]

Spurs win 3rd 27 -26

Yep. BigGamble is going to make sure the Spurs win the 2nd half.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Under 100!

Can we just end the game now to preserve the Spurs' oppPPG rating?

[steeledl]

This game is more pathetic than the Golden State game... I expected Spurs to be on a mission to send a message. Disappointing to say the least.

[Pauleta14]

Pop not even trying to win imo...

Maybe a teaching process, idk

[Kawhitstorm]

Patty on LeBron isn't working, Pop. Maybe you should let him try guarding Kevin Love instead?

The Spurs are switching & LeBron is forcing Patty to switch onto him.

Cleveland sticking its fierce sword up Sperms' sperm holes, SA s respond by pooping on the court... per par.

You are such a ing loser

[Horry Hipcheck]

One can only hope this ignites an appropriate fire in the team and answers whatever questions Pop has left unanswered.

[Uriel]

Again, we lost only 2 road games in January to the teams in the Finals last year. Hardly, meltdown worthy....

That would be true, if the losses weren't as horrible as they were.

[Chinook]

That's what happened? I was at a fundraiser, and only saw that he played just 9 minutes. In a game where they couldn't get stops, and Danny wasn't on the floor? I figured it was something he did.

Yeah, Pop got Manu in there early in the first. Manu sucked really badly, but Pop doubled down and put Simmons in to take Green's normal minutes. Simmons has been high-energy but ineffective, but then Pop brings Danny in for literally a minute before bringing back Manu to suck it up. THEN Pop starts the whole thing again in the third.

I get that he wants to try some stuff in preparation of a possible Finals match-up. But not playing Green after he finally seems to have his confidence back is sickening. If it were just Simmons, I could sort of understand. But Manu's been bad, and he doesn't need playing time. Just bad all around.

You missed some ty officiating earlier. Enough to have you hunt down the refs and their families.

[beirmeistr]

Yep....league ing us on national TV again. Xmas. Few. Today.

it's like a curse---national tv= ty game by Spurs

[GSH]

Damn, Danny was all up in Kyrie's shorts. You can't stop that.

[UZER]

I think surgery broke patty mills

I think this game was WAY more important to the Cavs than the Spurs. And the result makes that obvious...

[Ron Swanson]

Holy UNT is having an epic meltdown.

ing mental midget.

Seriously. It's funny to watch, though.

[TXstbobcat]

Slomo!!!!!

[tim_duncan_fan]

Simmons/Kawhi, that's about it. West barked but didn't do squat.

West made a few shots.


I don't get why Simmons doesn't get more burn.

[Kawhitstorm]

This game is more pathetic than the Golden State game... I expected Spurs to be on a mission to send a message. Disappointing to say the least.

It's good to know West can't be counted on against legit frontlines no mattered how much he barks.

[SAGirl]

Kyle growing a pair TBH
