56.4% shooting for the Warriors. Spurs with 41.5%.

My other sucky team is actually winning.

The Hoff. ( Species still to be classified)

UK scientists have found prodigious numbers of a new crab species on the Southern Ocean floor that they have dubbed “The Hoff” because of its hairy chest.
The creature has still to be formally classified, hence the humorous nickname that honours the often bare-chested US actor David Hasselhoff.

It is, however, a type of yeti crab, said Professor Alex Rogers who led the research cruise that found the animal, and it will be given a formal scientific name in due course.

Yeti crabs were first identified in the southern Pacific and are recognised for their hairs, or setae, along their claws and limbs that they use to cultivate the bacteria which they then eat.
“The crab occurs in staggering densities. It is just incredible to see these animals literally lying in heaps around the diffuse flow of these vents.

“In places, they reached as many as 600 individuals per square metre.”



This is a picture of another Yeti Crab species, you can get the idea where they get their name from.

Thank goodness – I thought you were going to post THAT pic again.

The Tongue Louse is old news, and Halftime Fish always stays on the edge when it comes ocean related happenings.

Good to know. Cool find.

They also found this adorable Pale Octopus.

No caption on that last photo? I am disappoint.

But damn, what a cool crustacean.

“Pictured, Ron Jeremy’s crab”.

Yep, that thing just got the starring role in my nightmares tonight.

Fuzzy crab. Interesting.

got some ticklers for a creb

Go Spurs!

Still in class?

yep. now they’re lecturing about breastfeeding

Is there gonna be any extra credits assignments?

Are there demonstrations on the proper way of doing it?

no live demos though, only lecture and video clips

Anyway, do you have to do your internship on your 4th or 5th year? What are you planning to specialize on?

5th year is my internship year. I plan to specialize on Orthopedic Surgery

This is getting irritating.

They are showing the mitchell tribute on league pass. I’m pleasantly surprised.

they aren’t on international league pass. boo.

They are here in nc. Usualky we get crappy halftime show.

yep, that’s what ILP is getting. with the world’s worst voice over guy.

So you are saying we are spoiled?

more lucky than spoiled.

The sb nation android app wont add new comments. It keeps posting as replies, grr.

Looks like almost every game on league pass is a blow out.

Dwight is killing it for my fantasy team

Hey. Odom for Andre Miller?

Don’t rush me I’m thinking about it

Mike Mitchell tribute. Man, his son looks just like him.

So, what is happening, what did I miss? Did we win yet?

Where is LatinD? He did not do anything crazy because of Manu’s injury right?

Just out of town.

No Korean Comic – YAY!

Hey, now this game doesn’t seem so bad.

I think he sold all of his possessions and joined a monastery.

But then who will operate the dams?

The dam elves.

watching these spurs games is starting to get frustrating, i hate how a player can light our defense up continuously because the defense doesn’t adapt. i hate how teams can make tough shots against us but yet the spurs will brick seemingly easy shots…ugh

Most of it is perception. I’m with you on the non-adapting defense though.

Ouch. Pacers getting killed by Wade-less Heat.

Wow! Birdman really got some new ink.

Good god, where?

Pretty much all of his neck from the image I saw.

Man this is stupid. So now, every time a lob is thrown, announcers are obligated to shout “LOB CITY!”

Again, let’s sign this guy.

well Clemson is not winning right now either

Ok. I see James finally decided to shoot proper.

Bad call against Tim.

oh come on guys, tim had his arm around his waist!

Bad call!!

The ref right next to Tim didnt even call that!

Better D on that posession

Even though he missed that shot, RJ NEVER would have taken it last year. Much more aggressive.

Great pass by Blair

Great pass but dont ever do it again

Duncan splits his FTs. 55-49, GSW.

It’s nice to see RJ playing aggressive

good to see RJ being aggressive

RJ 3.0 really seems to sticking this year.

Seems like ages since I’ve seen RJ shoot a ft.

yup, only 3 fts this season

Anderson cannot play defense on Ellis.

Agreed. Maybe Green could get a go at him?

Ellis too much for Anderson

Manu, don’t be sad! :(

Ellis really is an ugly guy.

RJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJJjj

Damn it. I got to read it before seen it. Yay for RJ though.

Wow Blair should not be on the floor!

RJ THREE!!!

And it’s nice to see that he was asking for the ball.

Sean is trying to explain why they are holding the ball so long. He says it’s because we are without a quaterback basiclly.

ain’t that some shit

oh oh, Timmie is pist

Wow who give Duncan a tech? Execpt Joey Crawford

I..um..agree with Tim.

WTF was that

Ooooh. Timmy is getting angry. You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry.

And he scores.

And he gets the board

Tim playing mad!!

Timmie so upset, he running point

Don’t poke the zombie!

RJ playing great! Veteran savvy there drawing the foul.

Regressing to the mean, anyone?

that should be a flagrant

Not even close. Cheap foul but barely touched him.

could not watch the replay

Timmeh’s mad face is a little scary.

Wow, they miss Blair underneath

The hell was that?

Good kick out Blair

i miss dice

he would’ve hit that baseline jumper

clothesline flop. I love it RJ

rjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

1 point game!!!

i LIKE THE way we defended the last few possesions

Feed the HOT hand!!!

Somehow we’re only down by 1. Nice.

Maybe we don’t suck us much as we think?

My text, I take it you received it? Affirm with a nod

RJ for MVP!!!

#notreally

I hate Carlos Morales y Alvaro Martin ESPN … its reallty annoying

I dont like them much either.

Man I didn’t know it was on ESPN Latin America. Oh well, I’m not going to watch it on TV now.

Neither did I

ESPN LA has bad JuJu anyway.

Yes he could the one!!!

Mark Jackson calls timeout with 6:15 left in the 3rd.

60-59, GSW.

we’re so sorry RJ! bless us with your threes!

On the big screen, at the arena, Green won the dot race.

It’s a sign! Put in Green!!!

Remember whe everyone wanted rj amnestyed? this is y i didnt

The eyetest says he hasn’t played bad, but Nail is -17 in 10min.

Warriors’ FG % down from 56 to 47.

defense tightening up? or just Warriors not shooting as well?

There was no way they could keep shooting like that the whole game. Also, Timmy got mad.

This just in: Timmeh still mad.

Minny almost did.

Kwame back to being Kwame

Kwame Brown is not good at the layups.

Blair selling lemonade!

Hell Yeah. The good guys up again

BLair shoots too much

i am not watching the game.. howz the D?

Average or just below it.

immaculate and above

wait, is this true? Spurs with 1 point lead?

not no more, down 4

ugh, spoke too soon.

my count shows we still ups

Ellis coming back down to earth.

Has Tony Parker made a freaking shot today?!

doesn’t seem like it. My daughter thinks it’s funny when I say, “Parker, you jackazzzzzzzzz”!

He had two in a row in the 2nd. Looked like he was getting hot, but it was the end of his shift and Pop sat him.

I started watching at halftime so Ive just seen him miss.

He’s certainly been cold in the 3rd.

Warriors back on top, 65-61. Pop calls timeout with 3:41 left in the 3rd.

We have to play Dallas tomorrow. Has Pop forgot. Tim is really working hard.

True. More minutes than I would like.

We play Dallas tomorrow? Uh oh…

i have not been able to find your avatar again on youtube but it was on Brown Eyes either At the Bottom of Everything or Lover I dont have to love. i will find it!

Just the fact that you’re trying to find it means a lot to me.
NOW FIND IT.

maybe Pops isn’t playing Tim tomorrow. No wonder they signed Ike.

We should try to win this one.

I say put TJ in.

weve got them where we want them, right?

Neal with a bucket

Nails!

Curry again?

That looked bad

It looks like he keep injured it again and again.

He’s probably going to battle that bad ankle all season.

Hopefully it’s not a career problem.

It looks like it

That sucks. Let’s hope its not like what you said.

He’s injured it a couple times and had surgery on it

yeah, that sucks… I like that kid, not tonight though…

and no splot-up today yet

Patience. There’s a whole quarter left

That’s one way to do it. Hurt the opposing players. San Antonio Bad Boys?!

nope. his ankle just buckled on its own.

Nobody even near him.

Poor Curry….

Curry goes down.

Well Curry is down again

duncan full courting

He is still pissed.

Man, what a freak ankle turn.

yeah, I heard he hurt that a couple of games ago? Can’t believe he’s been playing so well on that ankle.

Maybe he shouldn’t be.

no surprise he hurt it again.

I think he had surgery on that ankle

Shit. I feel bad for Curry. He’s a good guy.

He is, but if he really has such weak ankles, that’ll always be a problem for him…

he’ll lose a lot of that speed if that ankle doesn’t heal properly

damn…never like to see that.

Lockout & no training camp = more injuries

deja vu’ for him?

deja vu cinq fois.

yep, he hurt it a couple of games ago from memory?

I hate it when guys go down with injury. That ankle is killing Curry.

In Ike we trust, put him in.

That curry injury wasnt our fault.

Spurs going Green!

nice move by green

Go Danny!

Danny Greenmachine going to work.

make your damn FTs

Wayta attack Green!

Cease and desist!

Green doin’ work.

Green works his tail off.

Pop pissed at Splitter for that foul

It’s Splot’s time. I can feel it.

Curry going to the locker room.

Hes gettin into him!!

mission, he made THAT one

I never doubted him for a second lol

Oh Mama! TP and one!

Hopefully that and1 will give TP confidence

TONY!!!!

Frenchie McWonderbutt! (I went old-school on that one)

good hustle gary and green

CORNER POCKET!

Yes Green for 3

nice pass by TP there.

Danny Green with a three!!!

Nice board by Splitter

This unit has ramped up the intensity.

Way to keep working, Tiago.

We need someone bigger on Ellis.

Green? or Leonard?

I was thinking it would be Kawhy the whole time… that’s why i’m on a computer right now though..

Ike?

No way could Diogu keep up with Ellis.

come on, lets have a lead at the start of the 4th

Green gets his chance and showing well.

missed both free throws

Splitter missed both FTs.

Ellis posting up again!

Green on Ellis would be nice…

me on Sofia Vergara would be nicer!

whoa whoa whoa…. ME on Sophia, maybe…

Good god, is this game still going?

End of 3rd.

75-70, GSW.

Sigh is Ellis really going to make those bad percentage shots? And we cant make our free throws or open shots. We need a big fourth quarter.

Wow Bobcats won.

Every time we get there, Ellis shoots some fade-aways, and were down 5 again. Good thing he’ll still have to rest. And now is the time TJ gets in the game and finds our open shooters.

4th, let’s win this!

Seriously in tank mode. Or it’s clear the other guys clearly don’ know how to win without Manu.

I dont know if I can handle the Manu-less offense for the next 2 months, I’m having heartaches

Hey, what happened to Dorrell Wright? He used to be good last season.

I was wondering about the same thing.

He started great but ended up shoothing less than 40% from 3.

New nickname for Tiago Splitter is Suzanne Vega — will explain soon.

gotta here this

Came up with it while discussing his FT’s with he guys from 48MoH.

Hey boss, Matthew there with you? Can you ask him if he got this game covered like you said?

He’s all over it, my friend

How is Bill Land always so happy?

Bullshit fkin foul!!! Everyone hands were straight up man

That’s a horrible call.

Current lineup for the Spurs:

Suzanne Vega’s Winter Shoes RJamnesty RedGreen Fiesta

Where is our offense goiing to come from now?

look at the Green Machine!

feels good on the eyess

Nice block by Green.

Focus from 3!

Danny Greeeeeeen!!!

good D by Green!

Green for MIP! (not really)

I’m really falling in love with Danny Green’s game. His GAME.

Good hands Danny!!

Holy carp, TJ!

Ford!

Lightning strikes again!

Ouch. Klay sinks a three.

FORD taking over or trying at least

Bad shot by TJ. But you can’t argue with the results.

Is Klay Thompson that random scrub?

yup. its a bad night when those random scrubs are hitting shots against us.

Ford is reminding me of Speedy Claxton

good times…good times

Ford with a midrange J.

Good Shot

& bad foul TJ.

Holy shit a dunk by Tiago

good thing he landed on his feet.

I’m loving TJ Ford right now.

Nice dish by TJ Ford.

That’s the stuff Tiago!

Are you kiding me with that Ellis bounce? Damnit just miss already

the definition of shooter’s bounce

Ford is running our offense so well tonight!

Ford Lightning is all over it!

Sooner or later..Bonner @3

green still good D, liking

About time, BonBon!!!

Green on Ellis is not working either :(

Monta keeps hitting those ISO jumpers

Ellis can’t miss. SMH

Jeebus effin shiz, i hat Monta!

throw an e on that hat…

Every time we cut the lead, they respond with an effing shot.

our bench getting us close!

just double Ellis

Damn Ellis.

Ellis is killing us by himself. Offense is picking up but no reason to get beat by one player

Can Ellis just go back to his average ways and miss one shot. Come on i hate how a single guy on any team can just light us up.

Especially when everyone on the planet knows he is shooting

Due to go cold soon. He doesn’t know when he cools off and keeps shooting.

Ouch. Ellis still feeling it. Pop calls timeout, 8:12 left in the game.

84-80, GSW.

Monta has to miss those sooner or later, right? RIGHT?!

LOL keep telling yourself that

9:09 San Antonio Spurs SA Tiago Splitter dunks the ball. Assist: T.J. Ford

c’mon Ellis, miss your next shots please

Ellis still hasn’t sat down in the second half, has he?

youth will enable that.

I heard Sean say it’s his seventh year in the league.

did he skip college?

drafted out of high school, I believe.

Splots having a rough game.

damn, that was just a good pass… just missed it sparkles…

Ellis missed!

finally! feels like he’s been hitting his shots all night.

Smallish ball.

He missed?

Tiago is really horrible on offense

Tiago just put the ball in the basket!!

Another BS call! His hands are straight up!

Tiago can’t buy a bucket.

that might be a good call, but it was late as hell!

Damn Tiago

green has brought some energies

Duncan and TP ready to come in

Blair and Duncan need to come back in the game

Put Timmeh back

RJ at the 4?

Matching up small with them

But with Green also out there, it’s a bigger small ball.

Midrange money

Why doesn’t Danny Green play more?

Green deflecting the pass to Ellis again.

That was a BIG TIME 3 by REDGREEN

cool runnings green!

God I’m loving Green’s defense.

The Green Wave!

Green Hornet!

Green Lantern!

RedGreen

“Or you can just call me… Danny Green.”


(phonetically correct)

Finally, Tiagos out!

Green > Anderson

Green>Manu. Too soon?

Good luck walking the streets of Argentina after such blasphemy.

I didn’t think about that. I TAKE IT BACK. I TAKE IT BAAACK!

three close steals for Green. He will get the next one’

Nice break by the young’uns

Green has impressed

An inch away from the 3. Ahh but Green is playing well!

Pop telin him

You HAM!

and I’m telling you to stop posting in subject box!

5:53 left. Spurs down by 4.

Green has just earned a lot of quality playing time. And I really love to see him play.

So happy to see Green stepping up. I remember his decision to leave Carolina.

I wish I can remember where I read it

But the “poor man’s Ron Artest” is looking like a pretty apt description, he’s definitely D’ing i up!

Don’t you mean poor man’s Metta World Peace? Green could be Metta World War!

Greenmachine is this year’s Neal.

Green Machine

I like it.

How about Gang Green!

if it didn’t sound so bad, I’d like it…

Ford and Parker playing together.

Timmeh giving a block clinic!

Greenmachine climbs the backboard

two blocks in a row for Timmie?

woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Its Green's night!!
Current lineup

Tony
TJ
Green
RJ
Duncan

A solid lineup

5 PLAYERS
With green looks like 6

Rejected by Duncan!

That is some awesome defense

Duncan blocking shots.

Told you, Ellis don’t know when to stop!

Green alley from TJ

HELL YEAH, WE UP

And a 3 by RJamnesty

The D picking it up.

That’s our game!!!!!!!!!!!!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

holy shit!!!

WOOOOOHOOOOOO WOWOWOWOWOWO

Sean and Bill are going nuts!

Cummon you SPurs.I’m loving it

Monta came back to earth

No, Green introduced Ellis to Duncan.

HOLY SHIT THINGS ARE HAPPENING IN OUR FAVOR

I AM STARTLED

HOW DO YOU POST YOUTUBE VIDEOS ON FACEBOOK

I DON’T KNOW SOMETHING ABOUT A SMARTPHONE

Y U NO ANSWER MY QUESTION

THERES MY RJ, THERS MY RJ

I am having a heart……stoooop

Spurs up! Spurs up!

LE CROISSANT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m so glad we kept RJ, atleast for now.

it was a great idea all along

Awful shot by Thompson

He might have thought he’s still playing in college.

LETS GO SPURS!!!

Tony Parker with the longest floater Ive ever seen ha

Yeah, that looked like some Blair puts up.

The Teardrop falls!!! 3:40 left in the game, Spurs up 91-88.

Did you guys see Pop being… Glad!? Excited!?

Pop was RIPPING into the guys during that timeout

wonder what it was about

He wanted them to push the ball…but they were bringing it up slow…may be that.

ah the highs and lows of sports…nothing like it.

Should I be glad that I’m not watching this? Really looks like an upper and downer.

The last five minutes have been fun.

Green looking like a legit rotation player.

He’s energetic as hell.

He is deceptively quick

Green is Bowen’s and Manu’s lovechild!
Hyperbole/

That’s why he looks so familiar

Possibly Legitimate.

TIMMMM DUNCAN!!!!

ford im telling ya

Tony and TJ have 15 assists. 15!

Make that 16

Good foul RJ. Hopefull Kwame misses the free throws.

Easy does it Tim!

Had to keep it real

this is a clos eone

Honestly, the Warriors offense right now is Monta. I don’t like it at all.

Without Curry, he’s not as effective as he’s the only option on offense.

I know it’s a congested season but aren’t we deep enough to play this fast all year?

Amazing that the shooting percentages are almost even now.

DANNY GREEN
DANNY GREEN
DANNY GREEN

DANNY GREEN
DANNY GREEN
DANNY GREEN

He’s trending… on PtR

weve got ourselves a hits

got a lots of money

TJ is looking like a great pickup for this team. I can’t believe Tony and him are playing at the same time and they work great together.

TJ has been better with the break tonight.

Who thinks that Green should start ahead of Anderson? His defense has just been awesome!

Overall, I certainly like Green more than JA.

We need his energy off the bench.

In a couple of games, it could possibly happen. I can’t wait to see him shut down “The Jet” tomorrow

Who was this Manu guy again?

Some scrub. I’m glad we waived him.

RJ going 5-5 from behind the arc…

There you go Brown!

Awesome, Pop slapping Tony

and there he goes making his jumper.

And Brown missed both freebies.

TP with the jumper

lol he missed both

He is Kwame Brown

Manu would’ve gotten that rebound.

It’s winning time people. Let’s get this done.

Tony with the midrange J.

that was a nice step back jumper.

Trade TP for DeMarcus Cousins!

Hack-a-Kwame

Classic Pop

No laugh and thumbs up though.

Hack-a-Brown. So racist.

Hack a Brown?

Hah. Karma to Jackson for employing hack a DeAndre.

2:03 San Antonio Spurs SA Personal take on Richard Jefferson

i know… personal take, personal block, shooting block…

I especially prefer personal take.

THE GREEN MONSTER.

THE GREEN HORNET

THE GREEN MILE

BEHIND THE GREEN DOOR

FRIED GREEN TOMATOES

WHY IS MY SKIN GREEN?

IT’S NOT EASY BEING GREEN

ETERNAL SUNSHINE OF THE SPOTLESS GREEN

GANG GREEN

Hah, my first GOL of the night. Thank you.

I BLUE GREEN MYSELF

Oh, Hipuks you blow hard!

Oh, Hipuks you blow GREEN hard!

FIFY

OH HIPUKS GREEN, YOU BLOW GREEN HARD

GREENHOUSE GASES

RAINBOW CONNECTION

ALL THE SHINY THINGS

All that glitters is Green!

Good D by Green

Danny Green is freaking awesome!!!

he should start tomorrow!

Greenmachine with a block

Turned it on just in time for that sweet block.

Come on Tony! We need your free throws!

‘I’m nervous. If I catch it and they foul me, I won’t make the free throws.’
Kwame Brown to Kobe Bryant

makes me shake my head… number 1 draft pick? Really?

Typical Kwam.

Green with the block!!

green brings it folks hes bringing, folks

Parker makes both FTs.

Frenchy is hot.

Pop motivated the hell out of him.

Tony is coming through

Tony Parker being clutch!!!

OK Tony. Way to wake up.

Wow Parker made some jumpers

Green!!!! I’m sorry I was watching but couldn’t comment on all he did.

Who was complaining about Tony?

I was complaining because he wasnt making anything. Dont I look dumb.

It’s good sort of dumb though. :)

Haha yeah it is. Im glad he made me look dumb. We need him to step up now.

YOU WONDERFUL CHEESE EATING SURRENDER MONKEY!

WOOOOOOOOOOOOO LOUD NOISES

There were horses, and a man on fire (Danny Green) and I think DeJuan Blair actually killed a guy with a trident.

That really escalated quickly…

frenchie on the side, ON YOUR SIDE FRENCHIE

Ellis missed! Ellis missed!

Free throws baby

…gotta make’em!

Ellis played 44 mins? Holy crap

our players played a lot too.. and we have the Mavs tomorrow.

Lawler’s Law

call the game and you suffer the consequences

game…………..is not over yet

had to bring this rule back :]

Thank you, Josh.

13.3 secs left, Spurs up 101-95.

The Wee Frenchman is kind of good, isn’t him?

Clutch Parker
Thanks a lot because I was thinking how terrible was his FG% this season

THAT’S how you do free throws.

Most exciting plays we had in a while

:13.3 GS Personal take on Dominic McGuire

Wow what a comeback!

I might have been living under a rock but I don’t remember Danny Green being his good.

We have never really seen him in important minutes.

Y’all will be gratified to know I stayed away from the game thread in order to not jinx the comeback. Y’all are welcome!!!! What a game!

deny Ellis the ball

look who gets the rebound

SPURS WIN YAYYYY

Spurs win

I hope Curry comes back soon for your guys.

Cool, thanks. I’ve pretty much accepted that he will have ankle issues for the rest of his career though.

He shouldn’t. He is too young. They should really rest him proper instead of trying to make Mark Jackson’s coaching career.

WOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!

that’s what i’m talking about…

How bout them Spurs.

This game started out as a painful one

adjusting to Life without Manu Ginobili.

Greenmachine gets the last rebound. WOW, this man is a Man.

What a victory…

thanks folks, im digging some green

SPURS WIN.
Am I glad…

Spurs win! What a game!

Let’s tank. All is lost.

And we should amnesty Timmeh and Tony while we’re at it.

You know, tanks are usually big, powerful…green machines.

We have tried a lot of players in that defender role but Green is the closest thing that we have to Bruce Bowen

except he can drive to the basket

What about Green Lantern?

Sean Elliot: “Hes gonna get a warm reception in the locker room.”

Ford and Green got us back in this one.

Duncan played 31 mins… Splots starting tomm??

Ike will probably play his first game tomorrow.

All I know is that Ike is going to play some minutes tomorrow

Great game from Ford and Green.

Victory! smoke some green!

we be smuking some

Brb: gonna go buy me a Ford something or other. The color will be Green

Start Green instead of Anderson! Anderson is not as confident with more talent. Green makes up for less talent with Manu-y-ness!

Nah. I would stick with Anderson. Let Green do his thing off the bench. I think everyone played really smart tonight.

I think Sparkles wasn’t on his game tonight with his offense.
