Hello all I missed the first half – how do we look?

Spurs playing D.

so far, D looks good, offense is ok.

RJ stared 4-4, but missed last 3

anyone know some feed sties other than first row and ole ole tv

42-41 Spurs lead

HAH

HOH

HEH

HUH

you are so late…..do push ups

yeah, my ’puter sucks…
how many?..

What does the computer have to do with pushups?

i was first on my computer, then refresh happened…

And my dog just took a crap in my room, AHHHHHHHHHHHH

Not thanks for sharing

sorry!

all clean now

He must be a wolves fan

so we borught the defense to Minnesota? good.

We brought the offense, too. But we lost it somewhere.

It hit the showers early

Missed the first half… how was it?
From the box score, looks like good D and decent Offense??

Home commentators talking about how Jennings is forcing rose to the left…. and its the lack of D behind him thats the issue.

I retort Jennings is a free loading turnstyle who opens all hours.

“Tim Duncan has the best inside moves in the NBA.”
-Amare Stoudemire

what year was this?

you don’t get that many shots inside while possessing the vertical of a suitcase without possessing inside handles.

exactly. making up for his poor vertical with his foot work.

timmeh just got some love on the league pass half time highlights thingy, where they asked who had the best inside moves in the nba. a number of players said duncan.

KG, Brook Lopez, Rashard Lewis, Roy Hibbert, Amare

That video is on NBA youtube
KG is trying so hard ….. In his face you can look that he wants to say “me” I have the best postmoves in the nba

He is still a very effective player at age 35 on the low block

considering his inside moves didn’t need a lot of vertical lift, he can still be pretty effective despite his old age. Can’t imagine Dwight or Griffin playing until 35.

Parker is +11 per box score

Have to admit I was kinda glad to see Bogut got hurt, I remeber him being disrespectful to timmeh when we played the bucks a few weeks ago.

bad karma bad karma

he hasn’t played a complete season yet has he?

I hope the spurs post up splitter some more on love he was eating him inside there have to get tiago going and stop with all these J

Glass used to be automatic!
=(

DeJuan needs to stop playing volleyball out there…

8-2 run by Minnesota.

Bench time?

pekovic is like a fatter love with no 3 ablity…

Fatter? Dude is all muscle.

we suck without Tiago

can we have some splitter in there to take care of peck for gods sake

We are getting killed by this unknown clown

Random scrub, yet again.

Man I missed the first half and now this.

Man all we need is one more decent big so blair could get sent to the bench and tiago could start with duncan

another early timeout for the Spurs?

The great peckivsh balling up tonight

wait, where was the half time fish?


just go back in time…

Rubio has a schnaus that would make Gino envious.

Pecovich timmeh will trick you eventually

Ok,officially back. What did I miss?

Timmeh looked lost!

Blair is completely ineffctive so far this half

i dont like his body language out there

Pop should take him out. Put Ike in instead.

Cannot get a decent stream in oz for the life of me i’m going to go hit golf balls. Go spurs

Neal banks it!

Parker for three? Wow. He’s been hitting those a lot lately.

That was a quick whistle!

Minn announcers are pretty dry

better than being annoying or offensive.

Agreed

blair looks flat n tired

Thats the way he always looks!

hehe…oh if only it weren’t true.

hah! I read that as “fat n tired”.

lol i almost typed that

i think you’re right, must’ve been a typo…

Remember when Blair was a rebound magnet?

The good old days…

He used to play with a chip on his shoulder, that chip is now gone

Yea he’s too “happy” now

Unleash the TIAGOOOOO

Timmie back to the line

Duncan draws the foul. Green and Tiago back in the game.

WTH POP we have some guys named splitter who could be scoring here on the low block

I’m glad they called that.

Rubio should play the lead in the new Teen Wolf remake.

I cringe everytime Duncan falls to the ground.

All of us probably do

I wanna run and throw a mattress underneath him before he lands..

did not see the foul there

this game has as much life as….well, all of us losers.

I HAVE A LIFE!!!… I need to larp now.

That was a crap call. The official waited until after Love missed the shot and then whistled Splitter. I hate that kind of officiating.

yeah, love gettin’ love.. “Crap-tastic!”

Give the ball to Tiago in the post

Splitt was blinded by his own brilliance.

C’mon Tiago, DAMMIT!

Green with his 3rd foul.

dam its so frustrating to see the spurs putting splitters skills to waist by not posting him up more often

Pop doesn’t want him to shoulder the offense, so he allows the team to put Tiago’s skills to waist.

Spurs look kind of lifeless.

The dull announcers and slow play – urgh

I’m actually happy that Matt is in

dunno why but green just seems to be running awkwardly to me…

Joseph, you dont leave your man!

that shot by green was Horry like (meaning it didn’t look like it was going in until it went in)…

Why do we not run the offesene through splitter we did it for a second and we ended up witha danny green 2 cmon spurs its not that dam diffuclt
p.s.
TRAVEL

Spurs doing well in LWM, but who thought the D would go to complete and utter shite?

I hate when people try to stream HD videos

so how long til the game starts? this is just a warm up scrimmage right?

Oh, if that were true.

No blair and no more Joseph please!

Denard Span….who?

nice move by Tiago

again,

nice move by Tiago

Tiago playing well again

sigh. trading baskets.

when they SHOULD be trading RJ amirite

+1 that time has come

that’s sooooo three years ago…

Did you get a new 4G LTE phone?

But who can we get for RJ?

Dang, Sparkles must have gotten some new glitter today.

Where does one get this glitter?

I’m sure easty knows.

Would be good to know. I know some people who could use some glitter of this type.

ok, we got the stop

Why isn’t that a foul on Love?

Matty with the drive?

the drunk shy hook

64-64 end of 3QTR

Tie game, nice

How long before Duncan is coming off the bench….

Think about it, Duncan could eat the other teams second stringers alive

it would depend how the fourth starts out but he has 0 fouls

I meant, how long before Splitter is the starter.

When Timmy retires

I think Timmie will have to tell Pop that he wants to come off the bench.

Bonner Skyhook!!

hey sprus notice how tiago is playing why not pass his the ball more in the 4th

We all agree with you

SPRUS!!

Spruce!

goose!

um….?

“Moose”

presume that’s his nickname….whoever he is.

Dallas Cowboys legend… Emmit would’ve been nothing without him.

Well, him and the awesome offensive line the ’Boys always had.

You can’t expect the furriners to know those that play “real” football. :)

just keep playing through Splitter

Inception to Popovich!!!
Play tiago more!!!
We need that Leo Dicaprio

How’s it going folks?

Tiago has arrived

Tiago with the block!

Blocks:

Spurs – 7
Wolves 0

defence wins championships!

though it may not win a game in minnesota in january…

Wouldn’t hurt though

lol. They say that you’ve got to rebound the ball as well.

and the steal!

Bonner for threeeeeeeeee

Bonner shoots a three and gives the Spurs a three-point lead.

Tiago help defense is great

Green commits his 4th foul.

I dont believe it, Bonner is pulling the trigger in situations that he never would have last season

Pass it to tiago

we have 1 offensive rebound to Minnie’s 10

Kevin Love will do that to you

Take care of the Ball GREEN!!!!!!!!!

9:17 left in the game, Spurs down by 3.

Ugh. Not a good turnover.

Is there a good turnover??

if you’d bounce it off CP3’s face and they wound up with it, yeah, maybe…

Keep feeding Tiago dammit

Exactly, sometimes I feel that the Spurs are getting dry offensively as the game ends.

…and Tiago has been feeding them the energy lately.

Manu and TJ, please recover soon!!! I hate seeing these turnovers game after game after game.

Aren’t they like 2 weeks away from coming back? Or something like that

Manu’s still 3 weeks away I think.

tony should of passed the ball to tiago instaed of green

time for a RJ three. He started 4-4 and is now 4-8

RJ = Michael Finley

Finley mavs, Finley spurs, Finley Celtics?

did he even get any minutes in the Celtics? Can’t imagine how that looked.

someone had to get garnetts towel

Stupid pass between tiago-parker
Stupid pass parker green, no turnover and stupid drible by green =(
and thats 2 turnovers

Sean pointing out the obvious

time for manu to come in and take over… oh right

If I didn’t know better, I’d think the Spurs were on the end of a long trip or a back-to-back. They just lack energy.

Forget it, if Rubio is hittin from the outside……..

Splitter Substitution replaced by Duncan FU!!!!

He’s trying to end the game with Splitter.

Tiago out, starting line up for the next game in

Williams is abusing Bonner

ok why is tiago out… bonner out plz

I second the motion, RJ – Bonner just kills the entire team, unless RJ drives hard to the basket.

Thank you, Tony.

put TIago in for bonner

Good going dude….

TP with the And 1!!!

Dang, the Wee Frenchman is ballin’!

Tony trying to be the hero right now

good, In TP I trust

TAKE IT PICK A PEPPAH!

Y uno, cabrones.

7 straight from Parker.

Tony carrying us in the 4th and please pop put tiago in love coming back in for wolves

Nice play Tony. Let’s get the free throw.

TP and Splitter only two players with energy

TIAGO IN, RJ OUT, TIAGO IN, RJ OUT.

tiago in
RJ OUT

TIAGO IN
rj out.

RJ playing the 5?

Bonner would have to play the 3? Ew.

At least Bonner can dribble penetrate

+1.. that sucks.

Why not? His crossover is deadly

BEETLEJUICE
BEETLEJUICE
BEETLEJUICE

is that WSS?… ’caue if so…
????!!!!!?!?!?!?

Nooo, Bonner…

Wow that was spurs ball

TIAGO better be in after this timeout

he will finish the game…I hope

Tiago – Timmy front line has to finish it

with RJ as the sf/shooter not bonner, i hope

gotta end this game with Splitter and Timmie

Pop just giving Tiago a breather

RJ had a chance to grp the ball, instead he plays it safe.

I’m blind, I’m deaf, I wanna be a ref.

you’d be a better ref than the one’s in this game tbh

Derrick Williams has become the scrub that kills us

Williams won’t be a scrub for long.

Pec poundin Tim’s hip isnt a foul??

nice board by Tiago

Tiago is just awesome

WOW, wipes that bucket out

rubio with a page from manus book

C’mon Rubio ran into a wall!!

oh come on, he fucking flopped like a fish!@

Tiago to the line

Splitter on the FT line.

Come on, splots, hit the FTs.

2 of 2.

Good. I was worried he’d split them.

He has improved his FT shooting big time.

See? Totally coachable

Why don’t we run pick and roll?

I like it when bigs hit their FTs

time for the lead

Splitter should be the 1st option in the post

and Splitter makes both!

Neal for threeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

I was about to post “It’s a little bit awkward to have neal in there”. lol

So sad Timmy can no longer handle backup Centers

to be fair, back up centers are usually the “all size – no talent” type… He’s no longer strong enough against them.. Or quick enough.

ZOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOODDDDDD

Whoa, nice play, Splitter.

my feed sucks. Switching to watching a boxscore.

I surrendered 1 hour earlier.

Nice pass from tiago to gary for the three

wow tim is gasping

WTH did rubio get MJ call status?…

Question....

What happens when Manu gets back? Does Kawhi go back to the bench?

YES!

You sound like you really want that

I wouldn’t be surprised if Manu comes off the bench.

has to get his shooting touch back.

I figured this as well, unless RJ somehow gets dealt

The bench is playing pretty well, is the starters who suck

i think he comes off the bench to begin with.

Less time for Neal, with Anderson maintaining the temperature of the bench.

TP misses and Rubio scores

I thought Rubio couldn’t shoot

He can tonight apparently

against the Spurs. Sad story of the season. Everyone shooting well against the Spurs.

Because it surely can’t be our defense, right?

well, bad defense, yes. but in some games even the contested shots go in. Bad luck too.

Rubio has a good shot when he’s open, and he doesn’t shoot when he’s not open.

he’s actually been a lot better than all reports said he’d be.

So it’s a lack of proper scouting then?

i think the coaching staff probably know he’s a better shooter than originally thought.

Hey when youre on, youre on

He’s like Battier, too choosy in his shots.

Dammit thee goes the lead!

Pesky Pekovic almost fouled out

Rubio ties his career high….Why does it always happen against the Spurs

Moving Screen… not called of course

YEA!!
FU reffs!!
Love almost tackle parker

Nice move by splitter, that nearly went in

nice move tiago almost went in spurs still got the ball and still have a chance to win this

Splitt has some moves down there.

spurs need to score and get the stops down this stretch

Thanks Captain Obvious ;)

refs have been pretty bad this game

Pekovic’s agent better dvr this game cause Timmy has helped make him some money

trailing by 4… crap.

Bloody 8 on 5 at the moment…

There running old Spurs plays. and were running old Suns plays

Tim clank………… GAME!

Spurs missed their last 9 shots.

timmeh 2-12 …. tired legs..

he really should not shoot too much.

I think on nights like that he should just assume the robinson role and just play D.

To think that some of those shots could have gone to Tiago

timmeh 2-12 …. tired old legs..

FIFY

We are so unclutch…

Spurs playing like shit all of the suden

Ouch. -6 now. Minny with an 8-0 run. 37 secs left.

Peace out, gonna go get happy on the internet!

We need a couple threes here, not gonna happen.

37 seconds left, down 6..

Our D is a joke

Championship contender? Really?

This guy is havin a career game!

which one? Rubio, Peskobitch, or Williams?

The Spurs better realize that Tiago should be a go to guy, only 7 shots for Tiago tonight

exactly. Should be the 2nd option after TP, 1st option in the 2nd unit.

Fifteen point fourth quarters are not a recipe for success.

I’m used to the defense sucking, not the offense.

The offense sucks on the road without Manu

Shoulda shot the 1st time Neal!!

not sure what he waited for

clearly, the play was ran for him

this is depressing

Not if you’re thinking of it in the right way.

Yeah, having a low scoring ball game like this and losing.

crap. well, I’m out. See you in the next game.

we should see if tim can hit a three cause he cant do much else

This is just bs and then some like spurs fan said spurs need to undestand and realize we should be playing through Tiago at the end of games and not all this jumpers bs weve been doing

10-0 to end the game. That sounds like the line from the spurs.

10-0 run to close out the game!

Im not coming back for a while too depressed

Need moar beer!

need more sailor and coke

only 7 shots for Tiago

That’s not enough.

glad i bothered watching that second half. should’ve stayed in bed.
