Game Thread: Spurs @ Pelicans -- Thur. (3/3) - 7:00PM CST (3:30AM Riga Time)

OKC's about to get curb-stomped tonight imho.

[timtonymanu]

They are tbh. Great players overcome issues like that though, and Kawhi/Mills/LMA did just that.

Tbh, I believe it after tonight. Just laughable how good we make them look.

[RD2191]

I'm a huge got.

Agreed.

[look_at_g_shred]

Curry playing?

[Kawhitstorm]

Spurs winning a game without Parker... Just like they've been doing it without Manu for a month

Patty is the best guard on the team.

[SAGirl]

No more open shots once the Spurs started switching the P&Rs. The Pels really didn't go to Davis after the switch either. Big adjustment from the first half.

I have mentioned this elsewhere, we are switching a lot more this season than previously. I believe Diaw/Simmons don't do well on switches. Diaw has lost the ability to guard guys in the perimeter he used to have, at least at a high level, and Simmons two things (1) doesn't switch quick enough, he continues to stick to his man, thus he can't execute well; (2) when he does switch he ends up fouling the big somehow, boxing him out.

I could be blabbering... by no means I am being authoritative on this, but I have observed this over several games (not just this one).

SASdynasty! is back in semen shielding mode. Playoffs are upon us.

Parker leading all PGs, SGs, and SFs in shooting this season. I think we're good with him on the floor.

I hope so. We're gonna need him against Golden State.

[Kawhitstorm]

You can tell Pop wanted this game. He's all in this year.. I love it. We needed a win like this all year on the road. Kawhi and LMA are coming into their own. They'll be tough to stop

Last time he was "all in" he didn't hesitate to bench Porker.

[SASdynasty!]

Patty is the best guard on the team.

Imagine how good he would be had this been a double-digit scoring night for him!

[TheGreatYacht]

That camera is clearer than my eyesight

I get a kick out of it

[Timothy21]

big 4th quarter by LMA..

[BatManu20]

[timtonymanu]

I hope he's right. We need Parker against the Dubs.

[Kawhitstorm]

Winningest player through 1,000 games in NBA history...but that's none of my business.

Not saying much when AC Green is 2nd on the list.

[TheGreatYacht]

Patty is the best guard on the team.

Just like LMAlpha is the best forward in the starting lineup

[BatManu20]

[SASdynasty!]

I hope he's right. We need Parker against the Dubs.

We'll see. Last series Parker outplayed Curry but Steph is at his peak now.

[NASpurs]

I hope he's right. We need Parker against the Dubs.

Yeah I hope he's right too, this team isn't doing if Patty has to bail him out. Those two have to be on top of their game especially with how GSW were attacking Patty and Parker last time they played.

[timtonymanu]

We'll see. Last series Parker outplayed Curry but Steph is at his peak now.

No one can match up with Curry right now, but Parker just needs to be the player he was before the all-star break.

[NASpurs]

Durant has Curry on him calling for the ball and Westbrook takes a runner that's way off

[TampaDude]

Spurs finish with a 20-5 run. Sweet.
