Tiago FG% is scary

Good for fantasy leagues.

That felt nice. (and yeah TWSS)

The seals get the job done, again.

Thank god, please convince your countrymen to stop the Korean comics.

That’s good stuff

So many good options in the poll.

shame we can only choose one.

good win for the Spurs! Our bigs with a good scoring game: Blair and Bonner with 17. Splitter with 16… Duncan played well too, in the short minutes he had, 11 boards.

won by 22 points with no player score 20 points. Total team effort

Great win… Now waiting for Federer vs Nadal!

MIN 103, DAL 88 1:18 left

we play both this week

isnt it thier ring night?

weird thing about ring ceremony games: the receipient of those Championship rings often loses the game.

Those were some nice rings!

I’d gladly take a single loss to win a ’chip…

Except for the Spurs. Haha. I remember in 2005 and 2007 after we won those two ’ships, Spurs won their openers.

That makes this even sweeter.

Does Love have a ton of points and rebounds?

Only 10 boards.

Dallas is going to lose to Minny at home. The Rockets lost and the Grizz lost last night.

good news for the Spurs then, going up in the standings after this one..

Almsot the perfect game!!

I hope the clippers win

just started by Clippers up 13-5

A win from Minny and Clipps to finish a good day.

ok pounders, i’m out. have a swimming pool and bbq awaiting me. later ya’ll!

Eh, that leave thing is overrated.

Straya day! Enjoy.

Have fun celebrating Straya Day, poof.

Where’s the GIF of the kitty throwing punches?

Yeah, the victory celebration is not completed without it


I’m late!!!

There it is!

had to lay my daughter down, sorry…
:)

Where are the priorities man!

Liar. You wanted to make a dramatic entrance.


Take it doubters!
:)

Lets go Clippers

Andrew Goudelock
Who the hell is that guy?? and why his name is so original

Lakers rookie. I read that name as Goldilocks every time.

It’s just a riff on Goldilocks!

The Pacers won in Chicago.

Spurs vs Pacers in the finals!!!

The NBA and ESPN dream matchup

More like ABA dream matchup.

Would LOVE Spurs-Pacers in the Finals. Actually thought we might get that in ’99

Then the New York Knickerbockers happened lol

Yep. I would love that, too. IUPUI vs Kawhi!

No Deng is going to kill the Bulls

I’m very happy with how the minutes were so spread out tonight. Almost everyone played 30 or less

So sad that the Mavs got smoked in their opening game and on their ring night.

I shed no tears for the philistines to the north lol.

Sweet deal! We beat a good team, by a lot. And our Southwest rivals lost too.

So strange to see “World Peace” on the back of #15 on the Lakers.

Oh yeah, that guy? Number 15? Fuck him.

Manu sits until playoffs?

With the way the team is stepping up and playing do we really need to bring him back until maybe the last few games before the playoffs to help him get any rhthym. The team is finally gelling and that way Manu can be healthy for playoffs.I would hate to tear up the chemistry the team has been gaining just to bring Manu back. I just don’t see any reason to bring him back so soon when we don’t need him now.

cuz he’s Manu. cuz he’s really really dynamic. cuz i want him back.

The Spurs will need time to re-develop the chemistry with Manu. After all, he is the straw that stirs the drink.

Manu is the ultimate team player. He’ll sit until healthy, but once healthy, he will play. This is a young team. We are ‘really gelling’ every time there’s a home game; away, we struggle. Manu’s leadership is needed, greatly.

What is this usage of the subject line? trifling matters serious business aside, I want Manu to get as much burn as he can before the playoffs, not only to get him into a better rhythm, but also to get the newer guys in the rotation accustomed to the greatness that is, El Contusion (if in fact that is even possible lol).

& manu knows how to tangle. if you missed DewNO’s writings or need more info on the matter go to GothicGinobili.com , cuz it’s beast!

its not about manu but still his name as the site title says enough

I think that the guy that need that more … is timmy (but we only have 4 bigs so … its difficult)

the way our team is playing is if we want to get into the playoffs with maybe a first/second round exit. manu coming back makes the whole second unit a lot more dangerous

i was off on the win by & i missed the whole thing. whens a replay?

Utah loses to Toronto. Everything is coming up Milhouse!

Does that mean we’re millhouse too?

----

That is one sad GIF…

Yeah… he can’t throw for shit

The Matt Bonner of The Simpsons

Its funny, because its so true.

The clippers have a great Backcourt … I dont know if there are rumors about trading williams but its not a great idea

Warriors lead Blazers 89-84 with under 6 minutes to go.

Warriors beat Blazers, 101-93.

If only the NOOCH had beaten OKC, it would’ve been a perfect night for the Spurs.

OKC is for real. Everything would be perfect if they had not lost maynor

Fortunately for us, no one team is perfect.

Lakers-Clipps going down the stretch.

Metta doin’ work

And paperclips not clutch at all down the stretch

Blake is a terrible passer

Gasol > Blake?

At this point in their careers, yes..

Although Gasol is on the end of his prime, while Blake is still learning..

So when does the game start?

Good thing they are replaying it right now.

I think you’re alone, dude.

Aren’t we all, deep down?

Whoa.

I know.

you are never alone pal

That's what you think

Haa haa. I loved this. What your two hands can’t give you, no one can.

We should trade Duncan for draft picks so Tiago can play more minutes.

Go to bed. Where the hell are you , anyway?

Dude..you have drank enough for today…go home

Ban Hammer!

In Soviet Russia, Tim Duncan trades YOU!!!

Though. I do agree that Tiago needs more minutes. It should come out of Blairs time more than anyone.

Nice win tonight, GSG!

The Win is always good, but

after seeing the likes of matt bonner, and the rest of our bench winning games for the regular season and not coming thru in the playoffs (not that I blame them, the playoffs need to be won by the main players, with the HELP of the bench) these wins feel a little hollow.

however, tiago is starting to prove hes a legitimate option and when manu comes back to run more with the second unit as a backup pg, im sensing that lineup can do some legit damage.
