Pounding The Rock

In celebration of Danny, I propose that every comment be made Green.

Tim C. - January 7, 2012 reply

lets do this.

green me

We tried to do this the other day, but it was just Hipucks, SinCitySpur and myself. Needless to say, it didn’t work.

I need a recount

Greens stat line is crazy, you guys should look at it.

witnessed it

I can’t wait to see AG’s stats for the game.

More Manuesque than RJ’s from the previous game.

Tim C. - January 7, 2012 reply

You and I will look good for praising Green in the offseason.

I’ve been saying it since he was first signed. :)

Well, not many people were. I was impressed when I saw him play against the Suns in Phoenix last year.

Yeah. He was pretty good in limitutes last year.

*limutes.

Wow, my spelling!

I think I like “limitutes” better

SleepCrack - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

And yeah, no one thought much about him. If they had seen him at UNC, they might think differently.

His advanced stats were off the charts last season, and he passed the eyeball test. I love that he’s actually proving that wasn’t a fluke.

Tim C. - January 7, 2012 reply

He was solid in the games when Duncan was out last year. He just needed a chance, and he finally got one. But hey, even the coaching staff was mixed, so yeah. That hurt him a little bit.

silverandblack_davis - January 7, 2012 reply

33 minutes for Green tonight.

day_late_friend - January 7, 2012 reply

Seemed like he never left the floor in the 2nd half.

.

Victory dance!

Once more...

let’s paint the world Green!

You know RJ’s game is different when you saw him fake the pass on the 2pt jumper and take the shot. Didn’t make, but it was a confident fake pass and shot.

hes a new man, gottas keep him head strong

Yeah! I’ve already watched the first episode. It was leaked.

In the 666 - January 7, 2012 reply

Danny Green = George Hill, Version 1.2

i was thinking along them lines

Green + RJ = 43 pts

thats a stat, the stat

The Saints offense is Greenesque

CapHill - January 7, 2012 reply

Drew Brees = Danny Green

I know we don’t like shootouts, but any win against a good team without Manu is fine by me.

I like shootouts every once in a while.

They did drive when they could.

So far, LWM hasn’t been too painful.

CapHill - January 7, 2012 reply

that was a greentastic game

i thought it was greenobi-lesque

rank - January 7, 2012 reply

Wow, it’s all green….

It’s a Green world and we’re just living in it.

with a smattering of silver and black in it, right?

a couple happy accidents, but all in all the puddings got proof

JMcDonald_SAEN:
As Danny Green seals game with FTs, AT&T Center serenades him with “M-V-P” chants.

MVP MVP!

Hahah. A little much…

MIP! MIP! MIP!

Josh Guyer (completely deck) - January 7, 2012 reply

green me

Done

They may have set defense back 50 years but a win is a win

Kevin21 - January 7, 2012 reply

yeah, the defense was worrying…

yay go team
I’m out, guys! good days to all and I’ll see ya tomorrow!

Iullaby - January 7, 2012 reply

We had to beat Denver at their game, much like we did to the Suns

We got Oklahoma tomorrow.

Woohoo! I made my first “Roll Call” list!

Spurs are 2 and 0 in LWM.

Wow, no shit? NICE

It’s the only way.

Good Greevenning to you

Spurs Greenathon lives on!!

THREAD OF THE YEAR

you alls are something special, PTOWN OUT!

Since Green, RJ and Ford are getting good praise, it is worth noting that Leonard has some nice impact on the game. Watch out for this… :)

While his stats haven’t looked good while his shot isn’t falling, Anderson still looked pretty good in his few minutes on the court. He’ll definitely be well rested for the OKC game, so if others are showing fatigue he might start looking a bit Green himself.

Alamo - January 8, 2012 reply

This thread needs this:

Love your quote.. ;)

Team Stark!

and Team Gallagher as well. :)

I think Arya is my favorite Starkie, but all of them are pretty lovable.

She’s my favorite, too. She’s like Debbie Gallagher(somewhat badass yet so adorable).

Of course it does.

i’ve recced more comments in this thread than i have in the previous 12 months…

I’ll rec you for that.

Josh Guyer (completely deck) - January 7, 2012 reply

I’ll rec you for rec’ing his rec.

i’ll rec you for rec’ing him form rec’ing him

And I’ll rec you and everyone else!

Rec’ this

Hmm, the Thunder have a terrible differential (2.4)

Miami is easily the best team in the League at the moment. They are 8 and 1 with a differential of 12.

I’d argue Portland or OKC as their opponents are a little bit stronger. But, they do beat the pants off those eastern terms.

I dont believe for a millisecond that OKC is better than Miami, they may have a tougher schedule, but their diff is utter crap compared to Miami, and even San Antonio (6.9)

been so many blowouts this season. i think point differential is going to be a weird stat…

I don’t think pt differential is useful yet. I think there are too few games, and with the crazy schedule, i don’t think its fully useful, just yet.

I do think Miami will be better than they were last season by the middle of the season though.

I think one of Miami’s problems may be that they pretty much rely on the 3 Amigos putting in heavy minutes, yet all three have somewhat of a history of being injury prone. They have to depend on the timing of their injuries, since I wouldn’t expect them to get far in the playoffs if one of them are hurting.

Alamo - January 8, 2012 reply

Then again, its a very small sample size this early in the season.

I think that along with the back-back-back and common 4 games in 5 nights also helps that issue a little bit.

Greenobili!!!

Well I feel a well earned sleep comin’ on. Night, y’all.

Queness - January 7, 2012 reply

hope you avoid a hangover, Q!

buenas noches!

I love your stats!

Thanks man! i appreciate someone else appreciating my stats

play_splitter - January 7, 2012 reply

Danny Green in a green jersey with a green background. Greentastic.

Manu ex Machina - January 7, 2012 reply

It’s all Green!

silverandblack_davis - January 7, 2012 reply

Splitter leading the team in +/- with +10. D.Green at +2 while RJ was -9. Wut.

wow…RJ a bit unfairly done by +/- there. guess he was on the court when the nuggets closed the gap.

the +/- needs some serious tuning to be taken seriously

Si, si. His time on the court (second behind Green?) sagged his plus-minus down.

AG’s stats support Green being super solid.

Remember, +/- can be deceptive.

ill get it out in the morning…g’night fellas

GREEN INTERVIEW COMING IN THE NEXT 10 MINUTES

No Matt Bonner in the 2nd half?

Pop went a lot of small ball with 3 wings or 2 pgs. I was shocked when I saw Blair as the only big for some time though.

Blair was the big that close the game instead of Duncan

Awesome win, everybody. Both teams fought for that one. Great to see so many guys on the Spurs step up and perform in crunch time.

quincyscott - January 7, 2012 reply

Green won it? Yay.

LatinD - January 7, 2012 reply

RJ, Green, Ford were all solid. Blair was pretty good also.

Green had a career game though.

Awful D, though, eh?

LatinD - January 7, 2012 reply

Who? Blair? Yes. I’d say it’s a win if you at least get the offensive production out of Blair. It’s better than seeing all his crazy post shots that clank or his 5 foot chip shots.

I was shocked to see him play the big in the small ball unit, but it is the first night of back-to-backs.

So, I’m guessing Green had a good game, eh?

Big50 - January 7, 2012 reply

Green’ s stats: 24 pts, 7 rebs, 2 stls, 2 blks in 33 mins of play. :)

and 2 assists

Green rocked that shiz, as did RJ 3.1

SleepCrack - January 7, 2012 via mobile reply

Yes, I’m going to say it, but RJ has been the Spurs most consistent player of the season!

telling the truth is easy and pleasant

So far, I agree that he is…for now.

He’s different this year. I’d bet on that. Yep.

he’s usually the most consistent player of the post-season as well.

the little o - January 8, 2012 reply

As a whole, they all played well. Kudos to Pop for a well balanced distribution of minutes. Everybody knows his role.

does anybody know if there is a recording of this game somewhere? LP refuses to show it to me because of “geographical restrictions”.

Spurs are 3-0 without Manu. I guess they don’t need Manu anymore and that he was holding us down the whole time :).

GoSpurs09 - January 7, 2012 reply

we should trade him and get somebody good like Agent Zero or AI

No, we should get Cousins! He’s a franchise player, since he got his coached fired!

True. We need someone to punch our lazy players and to fire our inadequate coaches.

Kondor - January 8, 2012 reply

On the Spurs? There’s no one lazy on the Spurs. Maybe last season, when Blair put on some lbs…

This is, perhaps, the coolest thing that’s ever happened here. Also, I picked up Danny Green for my fantasy on my cell while watching the game with 8 other guys in my league. THEY WERE PISSED. YES!

Fred Silva - January 8, 2012 reply

Not sure what you did, but everything below your comment is italicized, ::tries to fix it::

Tim C. - January 8, 2012 reply

What I miss??

MikeyKosa - January 8, 2012 reply

Oh man, tough injury for OKC. They just lost Maynor, for probably a good amount of time.

It’s in the NBA.com highlights

3 cheers for Green!

GREEN!

eastbaysd - January 8, 2012 reply

What do you think of Danny Green’s awesome performance, Kermie?

Yeah, me too.

eastbaysd - January 8, 2012 reply

Interesting stats…

Stat of the game: Green erupted for a career-high 24 points off the bench, keying a strong effort as the Spurs’ reserves combined for 53 bench points.

Stat of the game II: Jefferson went 5 for 8 from beyond the 3-point arc. He now has 26 3-pointers for the season to share the league lead with Boston’s Paul Pierce.

Stat of the game III: For the first time since 2007-08, the Spurs have won their first six home games of the season. San Antonio started that season with 13 straight home wins.

Weird stat of the game: Saturday’s game marked only the fourth game in Duncan’s career where he has played at least 19 minutes and grabbed two rebounds or less.

Weird stat of the game II: Denver shot 56.8 percent from the field. According to Basketball-Reference.com, the last time the Nuggets lost when they shot 56.8 percent came on March 14, 2000. In that game, they were defeated at the Los Angeles Clippers, 110-106. In the NBA last season, a team shot that percentage and lost only twice all season.

Quote of the game: "The ref said he got all ball. I don’t know. He got away with murder," Lawson, on Jefferson’s controversial late blocked shot that served as a turning point.

silverandblack_davis - January 8, 2012 reply

Although Paul Pierce has missed games. That’s crazy.

Aw, nothing controversial about that block. The refs had been swallowing their whistles all game, for both teams. Denver gets to the line a lot, and they sort of feel entitled about it. George Karl has a lot to do with that.

quincyscott - January 8, 2012 via mobile reply

the stiffs are all mad about the refs, i just can’t see how the refs are trying to help the spurs win if the opposing team gets 8 more free throw attempts…

Starscream210 - January 8, 2012 via mobile reply

Stiffs fans have never struck me as too sharp when it comes to observing basketball. I know that sounds harsh but they complain about officiating more than any other fans base I’ve read, and usually with inaccuracy.

SpurredOn - January 8, 2012 reply

Foul or not, those are the breaks of the game. No ref also probably didn’t have a clear view of the play, given how fast it happened.

silverandblack_davis - January 8, 2012 reply

Agreed. I think you deserve a Rec for this comment.

quincyscott - January 8, 2012 via mobile reply

Wow

Green is winning me over quickly, I hope he continues to play solid. He showed the whole package last night. He played solid defense, hit pull up jump shots, hit his open shots and even drove to the hoop nicely.

Grego 21 so far you were right about Green and I have to give you props.

gunnin' gervin - January 8, 2012 reply

He is a gamer. Makes up for his not overwhelming speed with his length, court vision, and anticipation. Hit some big shots calmly. Pop’s praise of him last night after the game was about as effusive as you will ever hear from Gregg Popovich.

quincyscott - January 8, 2012 reply

Pop called him “an NBA player”. He must be thinking high of the guy. Wait, is it even a compliment?

Kondor - January 8, 2012 reply

For Pop, that’s like giving him a medal.

quincyscott - January 8, 2012 reply
