Wolves are winning we are in the playoffs again

Yay for winninnng!

Only 70 posts? How am I going to reach the 40K like this? Shame on me. I need to get my shit together for the RRT.

Newbie beat you! :)

Great, kid. Don’t get cocky.

Banned.

Oh hell.

Latin_D takes his Comment King status seriously. It’s really all he has.

I didn’t mean to intrude. Please, proceed.

You’re scaring me by how quickly you’ve fit in.

This is what happens when a person does it right, in first lurking and studying the culture.

Been wanting to sign up for a while, I just hate actually signing up for anything. I was a lurker. Forgive me.

Nothing to apologize for. You’ve been great.

Is Cupcake a he or a she?

I don’t want to know. I just want to picture a talking cupcake.

Josh, you scare me sometimes.

Scare you in a good way?

Maybe – your ability to always find the appropriate image is a little creepy.

it was either that or this..

You chose wisely.

Very cute! But the bloody fangs is more appropos. You, sir, are awesome.

I think SpursCupcake has found her avatar…

Check and mate!

I think I speak for all of PtR when I saw thanks for delurking.

Cupcake came, CapHill saw, they both conquered.

TWHS?

Dammit you beat me to it!!

Fine, I’ll let you beat me next time. =D

Kinky.

You were supposed to say TWHS! which would’ve let me reply with, “Dammit, you beat me to it!”
Alas, tis was not meant to be.

I’ll learn eventually. :)

WHat are you guys talking about?

Starting a TWSS competition. I think it will go really well here at PtR.

Tis true, I also can see compliments.

“say”, damnit

The fangs scare me more than the blood, actually.

Ahahaha eerily similar.

I would be a she!

Well hellooooooooo there!

-SinCitySpur

I forgot to add…

GIGGITY

I believe he is sprinting to his computer right now.

Great to have another woman on board.

I’m going with she, since she so very much appreciates splots.

Hope you’ll stick around.

I also lurked forever… this place is pretty damn cool though….

I’m fairly certain my first comment came when I was slightly intoxicated.

sooooo… consistency is the key?…

Well, I haven’t been drinking tonight.

boooo (urns)….

first….second….third….fourth…..and so on and so forth.

It’s not my fault you live on the other side of the world and the games are too early for you to drink.

It’s never too early to drink, or too late.

whiskey and cheerios all round!

It’s never too early to drink, or too late.

-Alcoholics

Takes one to know one =D

We’ve all been there.

minnesota won against houston..

.

Is that Tony Allen?

Would’ve wanted Allen to get dunked on.

was great to get a win on the road!

I like Leonard’s uber-efficient dunk style.

Very funny with Andrew Monaco next to Sean Elliot. They need to sit, Andrew looks tiny next to Sean

Awww! Kawhi is so polite and cute.

That’s true in person, too.

I think it’s safe to attribute the dominating Spurs performance to my coming out of blog retirement. You all are welcome.

so, when’s the game start?

Hi, Q! Not busy cleaning?

I have lately been enjoying what true quiet moments I can at home; work’s been throwing some crazy high levels of stimuli at me. I think I need a sensory deprivation tank.

But I had a little time with the lower-case q before bed, and probably on with a bit of cleaning up now.

Oh my gosh I am boring.

actually that’s called being a good parent.

Well, he earns it by being funny.

You’re like the Kawhi Leonard of commenting.

Spotty shooter, huge hands?

All over the place?

Both of you stop, now.

hey Q! trust you’re angry today!

Of course.

Also tired.

Tired enough to start the process of calling it a night, in fact.

Til the next time I feel like it,

laters, gators

bye Q! trust you’re angry tomorrow!

73 points for griz? Pop must be doing wonders for team D

Is Daniel Green a younger, higher potential version of Tony Allen?

Kinda. Think Tony Allen minus the quick-trigger attitude

He’s not as nasty as Tony Allen, both literally and figuratively. Don’t think he’s as athletic either, but he’s got a better jump shot.

Sometimes i think that he grab rebounds better than bonner
He shoots better than tonny allen
He is very long .. long arms

He handles the ball better and makes better decisions, is a better shooter, though not quite as strong a defender or as athletic. He reminds a little of Joe Dumars or Paul Pressey.

Well, going to my apartment to do some really important real world stuff. See you guys tomorrow. Thanks for the great game thread, losers.

Hasta miercoles

Good night! Let’s grab lunch one of these days now that you are in my fair city. That’s right, I own it.

We won on the road. Now, I gotta study.

With your moniker, I think you should know that there is now a wine called “Silver and Black” with the Spurs logo on it. It’s pretty good, under $10, and proceeds go to the Spurs Foundation or some such.

That’s awesome. Can you send some my way? :P

Where are you located? I seem to recall some exotic locale.

Philippines… thanks :)

A win. On the road. Against the ursine mofos who beat the shite out of us last year.

Good. So good.

Have a great day, everybody.

à toute à l’heure.

It feels so good once it hits your lips. Have an awesome day!

Nicely put.

Yay!! We are in the playoff’s.

3rd road win! I am hoping the Spurs can build on this and start a winning streak heading into the RRT.

Excellent game by Green and Kawhi … both play great defense and grab important offensive rebounds

This is becoming a trend with both of them. Green just has to learn to control his urge to get out of control on offense

I was hoping for more Anderson sighting…oh well…

He’s been playing well, his shot is just not falling.

he was 3 for 3 last night

He blew the one attempt he took. Didn’t even come on that close on his 68 foot attempt.

I know. I only wish Pop would let him play a bit. May be reduce some mins for RJ.

We were winning by 20 and Pop was playing Parker and Duncan and No Tiago and No Anderson

If I’m not mistaken, Tiago was there, but it wasn’t his best game and he had 4 fouls. So Pop had to put Tim back.

He play 2 minutes

I was hoping to see him early in the 4th but Pop decided otherwise.

Me, too.

Rudy Gay 1 point 0-6

Let’s see how you do with one of Kawhi’s mitts in your face the whole game.

Good Win

But I hate some of the things Pop did tonight

No Anderson: The guy was just coming off his best game as a Spur, and thats is how Pop rewarded him tonight, especially with Neal playing awful the entire game.

No Tim-Tiago: I understand that this was a important game to win, and Tim-Tiago do not play well together, but at the end of the day they are the best 2 big men, and they need to learn to play together. Pop should have play this 2 guys together in garbage time when the game was decided, use garbage time for practice.

39 minutes for TP

Playing the starters until the end

I agree with all these points. I’m especially worried about burning out Tony this early in the season – doesn’t bode well.

HE already seems burned out and sometimes just misses simple plays and cant run the team effectively after a while. His jumpers are hitting the front of the rim…which means he doesnt have his legs beneath him

the problem is, what other options do we have right now? joseph isn’t reliable enough, neal isn’t a point guard, tj and manu are both still out for at least another couple of weeks. short of signing someone to a 10 day contract (are they even allowed this season?), there aren’t that many options….

Agreed. I just don’t know if there is a solution for this other than TJ’s return. Tony has to carry the load till then. Do we know when TJ is expected back?

4-6 weeks was the quote when he went down, which is somewhere between now and mid-feb.

IC. Hope he comes back completely healthy

James Anderson needs to get over himself. At this rate, he will do so in 5 years.

Well it’s been real, everyone!
Spurs win, my first venture out of Lurkerville into Posterland.
Y’all made me feel so welcome!

Have a great night! I heart Sparkles.

Goodnight! and Sparkles is awesome. I want him to mother my children. Manu will father them, and I’ll continue doing my thing.

I was only able to watch the 4th quarter of the game, and seeing as to how we were winning by so much, I didn’t want to mess with the Mojo, or the mojo’s dead spirit so I stayed away from PtR. Anyone care to share anything noteworthy or anything in general that I missed in the first 3 quarters?

Bonner made a great defensive play on fast break, Im not kidding

Lockout basketball at its best. Luckily for the Spurs, Memphis played worse than us. Few things we did good…

1. Hustle and rebounds
2. 3’s

Neal, Tiago and Timmy all had so so games.

timmy is looking noticeably older each game in terms of his skills. It’s very sad.

He doesn’t have weight on him to bang inside and so can’t post up. Its really sad to see him try hard but fail.

I’m out too

Big Job interview tomorrow :D

Good Night

Good luck…go get them

good luck, good bye, good night.

More like GLGBGN

Go get ’em, namestealer ;)

Thanks everyone!

On a side note, based on what Pop said last week, Timmy should be sitting one of the next 2 games….

He better not sit out the next game against the Rockets or I will be PISSED

Probably the only game the Mrs. and I will get to see live all year—someone get PATFO on the line, por favor!

Sweet, we win on the road, in the division!

I’ll take as many of those as we can get.

GOL!!!! And I mean scare-the-wife-honest-to-goodness-GOL!!! Stealing for my fb page, cd. Hope you don’t mind :D

Wow Jazz beat Blazers

I have a crazy idea
Does anyone else think that RJ need to learn how to play in the post just like LeBron …
He is not LeBron but he is 230 lbs

Looks like we are back in the playoff hunt. 6th seed, 2nd in the Southwest.

OMG did you guys see Blake Griffin posterize Perkins?!!! Wow!!!!

Perkins: Im alonzo Mourning!!!
Griffin: OK, well Im Vince Carter!!

Boo I missed the game thread! :(

Yay, we won! :)
