Gadzooks, this defense.

yeah we gotta tighten up on defense big time.

Is that too much to ask for?

Leading by 8 after one, tied at the half. Dare I ask? Good evening all too.

the rookie Chandler Parson’s for Houston is looking like a damn All Star versus the Bobcats

I haven’t seen good defense from us so far this season

you are so right. Slow rotations off the pick and roll is what’s really killing us. I thought we would actually be a little better than last year with all these young wing guys. Looks like to be honest Tony has lost a little bit of a step

On defense maybe, he had four baskets in the paint.

I hope this game isnt a repeat of all our previous road games. We get blown out in the third quarter. Lets not do that.

Danny Green with only 5 minutes. I don’t like this. In a half where little to no defense was played by the Spurs, why not throw our best defender on the court for more than 5?

Clearly, that was the plan, as Bonner is our best defender.

He hasn’t been the same since the Denver game to be honest.

On a positive note Leonard is playing well.

True.

I think hes geeked up with his former teammate called up today.

I hope it continues.

Hopefully his former team mate can ball also.

He certainly did for SDSU.

The Spurs scouted him in D League and liked what they saw.

He didn’t garner much attention on the defensive end, but his ability to play defense, hustle and do the dirty work will certainly suit him well with San Antonio.

that is exactly what we need. A big guy who can play defense, rebound and rotate with some quickness

Who are we talking about again?

Malcolm Thomas

Former Aztec like Kawhi.

Last year’s tea, was awesome. Went to the Sweet 16.

We called him up?

the rookie we got from the D-League today who went to San Dog State

Hey, that’s my alma mater.

yeah he looks better with each game. Once he gets his jumper to drop with more consistency he will be straight

I miss the Captain

spurs aren’t going to win if they continue to let the bucks scorch them on offense. spurs cannot play this fast paced style til the end, they need to close out on everybody

I disagree. I actually think they HAVE to play fast to have success. I think the personnel they have kinda calls for that.

spurs don’t have to play fast, i rather see the spurs play to their TRUE strengths than try to play the other team’s strengths. spurs’ defense has been atrocious this season tho

But I don’t think their strengths are at the defensive end. And they won 61 playing fast last year.

Hey guys, just logging a post in, hehe. Exciting game, but, uh, some D would be nice. It’s too bad about Fjord, hope it doesn’t become a nagging injury. I like how Leonard is continuing to lose the offensive jitters.

GO SPURS GO!

Will Anderson even play?

Not if all we can find for Green is 5 minutes.

I know right. Get Green in there to play some defense and throw Anderson a bone!!

Who thinks cujo getting a call up

love me some CuJo…

most likely yeah. Even if he doesn’t play much minutes

He played pretty well when he was here.

76ers with another blowout win. Can’t wait for Hollinger’s next article predicting their champioship run.

washington is about to win? oh boy.

yep. 1st win for the wizards.

no!!!!!!! I was hoping they would continue to lose so the Bobcats will not look so shitty. The Bobcats have played damn near everybody pretty close this year though

Yeah. They almost defeated the Knicks last night.

hey guys, what I miss?

defence. no, wait, that’s what this game is missing.

hey guys! lez win this!

How we doing folks?

Not that good. Tied game at halftime.

Death, taxes, Spurs defense.

Theres some crazy chris paul advert all over my web page.

Explanation demanded.

secretly you love cp3?

secretly i’d rather eat my own legs

yeah, I would much rather see/hear JUMBACO JUMBACO!!!

damn. Ford Fiesta broke down? NOOOOO!!!!

He’s been recalled.

Leonard starting the 2nd half

Is he going to post some pics al la george hill, greg oden style.

Parker missing another J.

Damn!!! Delfino just snatched RJ’s soul with that 3

Effing Delfino.

How about some Green for RJ for some defense?

there wasn’t much RJ could’ve done on that jumper though

Blair gets blocked by a rook.

Meh looks like Anderson is in the doghouse

Too much switching

They are making contested shots. Come on miss please

Timmy with the and 1

Timmy kneed the young guy low. LOL

Timmysays take that rookie lol

these ref’s suck imho

look at KaWhy!!!

RJ gets Delfino back!!!

Great pass by Tony

Bogut gets blocked by Timmeh!!

Nice pass Tony

TP ain’t that old!

this is what i like to see

Nice pass to Blair!

Leonard with the block!!!!!!!!!!!

7-0 run by the Spurs.

niiiiiiiiiiiiiiice pass tony

whoa nice, frenchie

kawhi nice block!!!

DAMN!!!!!!! where the fuck is the defense!!

This Argentinian is killing us

so, we’re playing some D?

A couple of blocks.

Leonard is looking good

Delfino remains hot, sinks another 3.

And Kawhi is BALLIN

yeah he is. He is playing solid defense also

Nice shot by Leonard. Good recognition by RJ.

Sigh Blair look before you pass damnit. Another stupid turnover

our defense is awful!!!!

FUCK YOU BOGUT!
I like Bogut…

All I want is a good game from Bogut, and a Spurs win.

So he’s on your fantasy team huh?

yup.

Sellout…- _-

that kid is scrappy… I’d take him any day
yeah, sellout!

My feed is behind our thread.

Parker makes a jumper.

Blair getting caught looking with his hands down of defense

Blair is just looking around on defense. Get him out please Pop!

And you get Bonner for your troubles

Haha I was expecting Splitter.

Hey all – just tuning in. Hows it going?

we’re the suns, circa 2005. but less stylish.

Ugly?

yep, but scoring a lot. no D at all though.

> Spurs defense

You can fill in the blank with pretty much anything.

Lame, the auto-formatting destroyed my blank.

Parker make your damn free throws man!

Anderson gonna get some run. Green should be in there

Refs not calling fouls because its a waste of time at the line

T freaking P, make the damn FTs

Parker’s missing a lot of FTs lately.

Bogut looked like chunk from the goonies on that dunk

They brought in Bonner instead of Tiago. WTF

the first thing i think of when think bonner is….defence.

Is Anderson in?

Yep.

Think he can go all microwave on them?

I’m hoping he plays some D, don’t really need that much offense from him right now.

It wouldn’t hurt.

Pick a pony and ride it, Pop. This, Green, Anderson, Neal all get to share minutes is not going to help anyone.

I am an Anderson fan but Green should be in there because we need his defense

over-commit to one guy and the others get no PT. Then people start complaining on how Yoda-Pop doesn’t trust this guy or that guy.

71-68, Spurs. 6:03 left in the 3rd.

that was a travel, three seconds, and an offensive foul

Bogut travels all the way from down under

Leonard is ballin!!

Kawhi has arrived ladies and gentlemen.

Defense@!!!!! Defense!!

damn Jackson blew right by Leonard

I think Anderson understands the playbook the best, but his shot hasnt been falling

Parker with 20pts now.

Dont we traditionally have trouble in milwaukee?

Yes. I think we won the last 4 though.

hopefully, we won’t need any last second heroics to win the game

It’s like an allstar game, without the allstars.

TP seems to be getting in the lane at will!

yeah he is smoking Jennings

But he’s turning the ball over too.

Smoking him Like a pack of Newports!! Jennings isn’t causing the turnovers though

Well yeah, he’s getting by Jennings constantly. I just wanted to point out the TOs because those help the Bucks make runs.

if you had told me it would be 75-70 with 5 minutes to go in the quarter, i would assume it was the 4th, not the 3rd.

What are TP and TD doing?

turnovers and piss poor defense

I’d like to propose a trade for Andrew Boguts angry bits

someone kick that lure kid in the nuts again

Timmy with the KISS off the glass

Duncan with the bank shot.

They are gettingnnothing but layups and dunks so far

Just when i was about to say Timmy isn’t effective in the post he shuts me up with the bank shot.

Gonna go down to the wire

Poor Anderson can’t catch a break. LOL. nice lil move and still got blocked.

His confidence has to be shot right now.

Leo should of shot that.

77-74, Spurs.

2:25 left in the 3rd.

For some reason I sill read Suns O_0

DAmn, almost got the Dream Shake off.

Bogut plays terrific D. I’m not saying that just because im an Aussie. I want him on the spurs it’d be like shutdown town.

He can stay in Milwaukee. LOL.

dont be a hater….go the big aussie

Agree, he’s solid. Not sure about shutdown town, but he’s good.

other than dwight, is there a better defensive centre in the league?

post defense and help he is wonderful. not cheap but he anchors one hell of a defensive unit.

They had some possessions there where they got layups and dunks. And we are having to shoot jump shots. Where is the damn defense? Make it hard on them.

First you take a Jumbo-Jack and then you take two tacos, what do you get? JUMBACO, JUMBACO, JUMBACO!

LOL

I was typing that shit earlier.

Laugh every time!

JUMBACO!

Is this this year’s MAYHEM?

it’s the new black!

Photobucket
JUMBACO?

Put the caption on there, meme-style.

CALM DOWN!
(I need time)
;)

TP 20 points been quiet ones

Those tacos dont look very good

good D splitter

Neal looks good

Anderson with the rebound. Neals connects on a floater.

wat the hell are Bonner and Tiago doing on defense

nice d again from splitter on bogut

Jackson now with 21pts.

Wow what a pass

OMG!!!!!!! Defense is like a foreign word to our team

Capt jack killing us

79-79 now after that Jackson triple.

Jax always kills us.

Nice play by Leonard

KaWhy to SexSplots!…

Splitter finally scores. Nice play by Kawhi.

Leonard is getting it!!! He is looking hella comfortable!!!

Seems to have found his way. I knew he was smart.

I hope he keeps it up. Once that “J” starts dropping he is gonna be really dangerous.

Could not come at a better time. Start Kawhi and move RJ to the 2.

Jackson trying to prove something?

That the Spurs son’t play defense? Well, except for Bonner, of course.

Ah, the elusive “son not” contraction

Work that into a conversation at work.

Nice catch. It’s too bad that we generally avoid adding Game Thread misspellings to the Lexicon.

Nah, he’s cool. They just need his scoring. He’s been a bad matchup for Spurs last couple of years.

prove that he’s still relevant

he misses Pop

They sure miss him in charlotte

That he can make open shots? Cause thats what weve been giving him the whole night.

yayy we are winning

yeah KL is playing good D and getting to his spots. Really happy with the way he is picking things up this early.

Where is our offense going to come from with both Duncan and Parker on the bench to start the fourth? We cant fall into a hole.

who cares, bonner will anchor tha D

from this guy

He looks like such a dork in this photo

The real Tragic Johnson.

When you’re this scared while dribbling by your self you really shouldn’t be dribbling.

And there’s Manu in the background doing all he can to catch up while he’s thinking, “Just hold on, Matty. Don’t do anything rash and I’ll be there in a hurry to take over for you.”

Neal gunnin. LOL. I hope we can find some offense like you said though

SPURS WIN!! SPURS WIN!! SPURS WIN!!

(the quarter by two points)

no calling it! ban this guy now!

If you think THAT’S calling it, then I’d never make it on your blog, would I?

time to start my own blog, where only i’m allowed to post! i’d be able to say “first!” every time!

Is that… IS THAT MANU’S MUSIC?

Did you just…. call the game?

FOR SHAME.

FOR SHAME.

You’re using the H2 command against you leader?

MUTINY!

I see that what you did there… effin Pirates man…

per your request


What was Tj’s injury and how long will he be out.

Hamstring. Unknown.

Leonard is ballin!!!!

Leonard looking for his shot tonight

Kawhi m goodness keep it up!!!

is it kawhi’s time?

Can Jackson miss just a couple more shots

KawhEEEEEEE!!!!!

good defense by Leonard better offense by Jackson

Bonner missed another 3, pull him out.

man the passes are a split second late

kawhi bonered out of a nice assist

Leonard with a steal?

When’s Malcolm X joining the team?

tomorrow.

Sweet

Gotta read up on him.

Interesting history nerd tidbit…the only time he and Thurgood Marshall ever met was crossing paths on a street corner…they traded profanities and moved on

Pop looks hella frustrated.

He’s the one who decided to play Anderson over Green.

Lotsa green tomorrow methinks

We need to get shots up. Stop turning it over.

TO by Anderson.

Nice move but just fumbled it away

What exactly is going on with him?

putting too much pressure on himself

He needs Manu

Being benched affecting him negatively?

Someone just did a dance move while driving the ball and finished with a nice high leg lift.

Pop loves that shit to bits.

and a flop! Bad D

what happened to Green?

bench. it’s KL’s time..

I don’t know what happened. Maybe he told Pop Shiraz is better than Pinot

Pop would step up to that shit

Said it tastes better out of a brown paper bag.

He told Pop Wild Irish Rose is better than anything Pop’s Vineyard will ever have. LMAO

i know he took a bad shot in the first half, have not seeing himafter that

10:12 left and Pop calls timeout.

Spurs up, 86-83.

Come on Anderson, you turn it over, and then it looked like you flopped. Just play solid defense. Ugh lead back down to 3.

bonner needs a pink tutu and a princess wand. for when hes running down the court or jumping.

lol

I imagine him like that anyway

how we doing?

Up by 3. But not playing good.

Unn. . .

Leonard is awesome!!!

did kahwi just score is is this late?

Skynyrd gets his own rebound!

Pop will sit him soon!

Damn!! Bad pass by Bon Bon

Sigh we get the rebound and then turn it over. Awesome

PUT JACKIE MOON ON

neal is the only one in spurs history who is allowed to do that without being pulled and yelled at for the rest of the game

RJ back in for Anderson.

Are the Spurs trying to lose this game?

Keeps us under the radar.

I swaer, if we lose this game i will ne pissed.

I’m really not liking &’erson right now. He is a Toro right now, not a Spur

Too bad, but I expected him to be odd man out when Manu comes back.

Sad but true.

Neal, Kawhi, RJ/Anderson, Bonner and Tiago….Not my favorite lineup.

I think Bonner and Sean Marks need to trade jobs

First you take the Jumbo Jack, then you add two tacos… what do you get?

Jumbaco!!!

JUMBACO!

Do any of you guys know how to upload videos to facebook?

Neal has never seen a shot he didn’t like. LOL.

and neal does it again. dammit. ever heard of a flowing offense?

He is the offense in his mind. lol

i always do that in 2k12, but it is a freaking video game.

TJ needs to let him borrow the PG headband while he’s out

Gotta hit open shots

Fk Stepehn Jackson! Damn Tiago jumped straight up!

Gary Neal is as cold as ice

We are just giving this lead up with bad shots and shit defense.

Jackson is murdering us!!!

Stephen jacksons going to refuse to shoot the 2nd free throw unless he gets an extension

Jackson doing what pops wants our guys to do right now, attack the rim

Parker checks in for Neal. Duncan for Splitter.

I’m surprised Bonnner hasn’t sprained his ankle in those New Balance

he doesnt leave the ground.

and they are 8-12 from 3pt line.

bonner should be our backup pg

Kawhi? Kawhinot!?!

Skynyrd now with 17 points!

Yes, but what happened to the “D?”

What does that random letter stand for?

Who the fk is Harris for the Bucks? Wth

Rookie from Tennessee

tim can still make those?

dammit jack

SEan Elliot is so right in is assessment. he said Leonard needs to keep his hands up

I have bucks feed :(

Spurs playing smart, buck getting lucky

wtf? the games obviously back on, so why is ILP showing “game break in progress”? you bloody arseholes.

my feed is stuck on gamebreak

FFFFFFFFFFFFF

Matt Bonner tearing it up.

oooo wait we pay him right?

Duncan starts a bevy of post moves while being guarded by Bogut.

Result: he ends up further from the bucket than he started.

I tell you Bogut is great defensively so strong so crazy….

he is like a 7 foot 2 Kung Fu movie

He needs to get better post position from the damn jump

We need to NOT be relying on him for points from the post from the season opener.

oh and it comes back just as they hit a 3. nice.

This is horrible. Can they just miss? Or can we not give them wide open 3 pointers!

Come on defense!!! Somebody needs to tell Leonard to keep his hands up on defense and stop trying to steal the ball from Jackson.

He’s learning.

He has only blown by Leonard once. he has been forcing him to taking Jumpers and he contest them well but like Sean said if he keeps his hands up for the beginning it would be even harder for Jackson to shoot

Parker sinks a jumper. Duncan with the assist.

5:35 left in the game. Spurs down by 2.

Stop with the 3 minutes behind updates. :)

geez. good d is hard to come by these days

POP NEEDS TO GET BONNER THE F*** OUT OF THERE!

Never question Yoda-Pop!

For 4 mill a year I can throw the ball away, miss some shots, run like a girl and let my guy score.

Most of us, have that in us.

This just in: TP is good.

I swaer. If we lose this geam. (booner speak, i have a sandwitch in my mouth)

those are the scariest witches

I see what you did there.

i hate the way have coached this game so far, why no Green on Jack? Why no Green?

There was Green for 5 minutes. Did not play good during the stretch but definitely deserves some more time.

exactly, i think he has earned a little more trust than that

Five minutes is crap. He didn’t play because Pop chose to go with Anderson, who was awful.

I honestly would trade Bonner for a bag of skittles

We dont seem to defend at all against three point shots this season

pfft rj

you show up, and he misses. coincidence?

if i knew any better, hes been missing all game

Hey Blair is in. I forgot about him

Who?

Whoever he is, he better make these freebies.

Jefferson wide open and misses. Guh.

wht jennings what?

Yeah Jennings, of course you made that one. I mean with all the shots that have been going doen, Im not surprised.

Remember when Manu hit that step back jumper? Good times….

I think we need to take more contested long two pointers.

THAT WILL KEEP POP CHEERY AND GAY

Rj needed that

Can we get a forking stop?

Of course not. How dare I suggest such a thing.

1 of 2 FTs by Blair.

Damn Jackson is unstopable

absolutely zero defense

Down 5. 4 to go. Go Spurs go!

102-95 Damn bucks

Ffffffffff

Sigh Jackson does this to no one else in the damnleague. Why the fk is he killing us?!

dejuan likes that reverse

put manu in one-armed. please.

i don’t think this is a bad idea.

Your’e right its a horrible one LOL

i’d rather a one-armed manu than about 95% of the league.

Blair with the reverse.

Blair with the floater

BLAIR!!!

Blair for 2. Down by 3. Go Spurs go!

Reverse floater.

Our P&R defense is horrendous

and three pt defense, and mid range, and in the paint.

Slow rotation defense is all that wrapped in one

Jackson showing love to Timmy after chump ass Bogut pulls him to the ground

haha Bogut just went lol i couldnt be bothered chasing that rebound. I’m going to pull Timmy down by his collar instead.

That wasn’t funny. If Timmy would’ve gotten hurt it should’ve been a bench clearing brawl

It was a Horsecollar

Yeah but it was still pretty funny. Such a stupid foul.

Let’s see some execution!

Of bogut for that foul I agree

2:15 left in the game.

102-99, Bucks.

TD21 CAN CUT IT TO 1 THANK GOD! FAR FROM OVER THIS IS BITC%&*!!!!

why does every player have to be a derivation of a star wars droid

Where has this defense been these last two plays? Holding them to jump shots instead of fking layups.

It’s frustrating.

I have a class in 20 mins. No more timeouts please!

15minute rule

Tonight would be a good time to break Lawler’s Law.

come on spurs play some D

How long until joesph is called up?

The call’s been made.

Leonard has played the whole damn quarter

Leonard has played the whole damn quarter half

FIFY

aaand he makes both

Nice steal Leonard!!

look at KaWhy!!!

Kawhi with the D

Lenoard

Skynyrd with the steal!

2 to go. Down by 1. Go Spurs go!

Sigh stupid shot tony!

dammit this will come down to 4 seconds left.

i never understood why tp thinks that is a good shot

wow nice step back “J” by Jennings

Leonard with the steal.

Leonard!!!!!!!!!! MVP!!!

I guess we need Manu!

KAWHI AGAIN!!!!

Kawhiiiiiiiiiiiiiii!

“Richardson. I should say Richard Jefferson.”

Damn Jennings picked TP clean

Ugh. 7th TO by Parker.

Are you kidding me Tony??! Fking Brandon jennings…ugghhhh

somehow kahwi’s fake then semidrive still makes me nervous. reminds me of when bruce did it, and it made me shudder

The simple fact that he makes you think of Bruce a good sign.

Oh shit tp

that was over dribbling by TP

Get outta here man. He had the dude beat

fouled

Since when was the elbow part of the ball

OASDIFHO:Aidgh0s*dgu 04t j0werioghn0[e a9bjptae]t 9hiop’namketd

my thoughts exactly

FOUL!!!!!

Leonard was wide open in the corner

106-103, Bucks. 50 secs left in the game.

Foullll!! NO BALLL!!!!

lets get a good shot and play some defense Spurs!!

A call you don’t get away, but I don’t think Jennings touched the ball. All arm.

I vote for RJ making another triple to tie it.

Bonmermon bench…h,m,mm

Lame ass flop by Bogut

It actually was a good call

yeah lower down I said Timmy pushed with his off hand

Timmy did push with his off hand though

so did michael fucking jordan

LMAO

Yeah he did. Bulls fans get salty when you say that though

there was barely any force in that.

Still had to call it

Wow. Didn’t realize he’s that strong.

He fucking flopped!!! Goddamnit fking stupid refs

Flopooopp

What’s the word I’m looking for? Bullfuckingshit. I think that’s the one.

that was a terrible flop.

Gtabbed timmys jersey

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuhhhhhhhh.

Bs fucking game! Refs fing suck!

road warriors.

No timeout? Really?

Manu would have made that. Shit.

and get fouled

and hit the free throw

then steal the ball off opponent’s inbounds

TANK TANK TANK TANK

you can just fuck off with that shit.

Poor defense and turnovers did us in again

Didnt we had a timeout?

two 20s.

we did? why didn’t they call it and set up a damn play then?!? OMG

tony was looking towards pop, but i think pop said “just go!”.

you saw that? what? do you have a 100 inch 3d tv with multiple perspectives function?

tony definitely looked towards the bench, for at least a second or two. the fact he then didn’t call a 20 says to me pop told them to run something.

I think we had two.

Rage,rage,rage!!! RAGE RAGE RAGE Rage,rage,rage!!! RAGE got robbed

Photobucket

JUMBACOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Still cant believe we lost

Now you can swaer!

Sigh. Still winless on the road.

This is fucking ridiculous every team we have faced has shot above the norm. 28% on the year from 3 for the Bucks and they come and shoot 9-14 on us. Defense is shit.

Hey we’re playing the spurs tonight? well we’ll all have record games HAR HAR HAR

Parker lost us the game, his poor decisions in the closing minutes were just…UGH!

Oh stop. Our defense lost us the game

yep. we lost the game ALL DAMN GAME LONG with shit defence.

yep. Bogut played some great D on timmy and they tightened it up

Pop only played the guy who has been our best defender about 5 minutes

Poor defense entire game. What stood out was when he got stripped. Bad decision to look for ref and complain. However, singling out one play during the course of a bad defensive night is not cool.

Ugh. Gonna wattch tarheels now.

Matt Bonner with 21 of the best quality minutes ever played by a Milwaukee Buck

+10000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Awful game

outside from Leonard nothing positive to take away from this game.

I hate that Pop just played Green about 5 minutes tonight

We did get Jumbaco’d
