Man, Montel Williams must be a hardcore gambler….

I love upsets

i hate the Steelers…

Dont really watch football much but since the Steelers play defense i like them, although i like upsets alot better

the Steelers play dirty D… and they don’t need to. you wouldn’t like them if you watched them, not if you’re a Spurs fan.

I wanted them to play the Pats but have no problem with Denver winning a great game.

Dirty defense now would of been fair 30 years ago, sign of the times i guess

nah, going for knees and late hits were never cool… and I played as long as i could. I agree that football players seem softer than they used to be.

Only one of the NFL weekend. And only close game. Home teams went 4-0 which is not the norm.

I didn’t watch the first quarter, but judging from how the second quarter went, I’ll take a 6 point deficit.

Spurs were outplayed, yet somehow didn’t look it in the scoreboard.

We are extremely fortunate to be down only 6. I like it. I think Lady Luck is on our side tonight.

Missed the first half. How was it? Good, bad, crappy, ugly?

Meh.

We hung in there, but if both sides play like they did in the first half in the second, we’ll get blown out.

Tebownobili?

the world would explode from the awesomeness!…

I can’t believe Denver won. I guess I’m gonna have to stop being an atheist now.

Pukey sighting.

Which could only mean one thing.

shenanigans?

I was supposed to say halftime fish, but yeah, that too!

Sorry about that, I was watching the football game because I’m such an American.

You a Teebutt lover,too?

Not really, but I don’t like Rothlesburger so I wanted Denver to win.

not a love of therapists huh?

Not usually, no.

I think that proves it

australian free to air tv is showing american bullriding right now. yet we get no nba on free to air at all. stupid country.

They don’t even show that here.

got a full hour of it starting now. meanwhile, australian basketball gets shown at 2am.

Sure they do….

First world problems…

should i also point out i was forced to get up at 8am…8AM!…to watch a basketball game?

had to wake up a few minutes earlier to get breakfast ready.

Your country sucks, man. Time to move to Alaska.

i’d do it for the weather.

Now New England is going to stomp them by 30.

Ha!

Brady>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>Tebow.

Belichick vs Tebow, the biggest battle of good vs evil since the karate kid beat those other karate assholes that were totally mean to him.

Kobra Kai!

You know their evil coach? I saw that actor at the Cheesecake Factory once.

Did he sweep your leg?

He was too busy talking to this chick that had tons of plastic surgery. I didn’t know whether to stare at him for being in Karate Kid or at her for having a train wreck of a face.

Where in the world is Ralph Macchio anyway?

Playing for the Denver Broncos.

Did he FINISH YOU?

I saw him at the Cheesecake Factory, not at a massage parlor.

HA!!! That deserves a rec.

I'm baaack

Are they Independiente fans?

No one dresses like that to an Independiente match.

Please make these go away. We were doing so well without them – plus, they’re very disturbing.

I could have gone the rest of my life without seeing any more Korean comics in here.

-

You cheating bastard!

I’m so jelly.

strawberry or grape?

Kiwi, I’m an exotic jelly.

i wanna post a pic for you so bad, but i’ll get in trouble…

I thought surf was the only kiwi on here

Is this the same spammer from before?

I can feel how you all missed me.

How often do you read these comics?

For every Spurs game, of course.

What about on a non-Spurs night?

If we lose tonight, it’s your fault. You messed with the mojo.

Messing with the mojo is bannable

You have to see the Big Picture. The multi-season string of Korean comics that will lead us to our 10th ring.

The delusion runs strong in you.

Yes! We should start deleting all Korean comics as spam.

This reminds me of the first SAS-OKC game last season. Also on a Sunday evening at OKC early in season. Spurs were down double digits in 2Q, made it single digits at the half, then 3-pt shooting carried them to a double digit road win.

but back then we had….Him.

But now we have more depth.

True and very true

---

If you roll a circle inside one 3 times its size, it will actually trace out a 4 pointed star shape called an Astroid (this shape is traced out in the animation in orange). But what if inside the smaller circle, there is an even smaller one tracing out a smaller Astroid? This animation shows the intricate shape that is generated by adding the effects of all the Astroids.

Yay! I learned something today!

MIND = CONFUSED

He can slow it down for you.

Why Blair no start 2nd half?

He was in, but he hurt his calf (it appears) on the first play of the half

did something to his ankle in the opening play…

He started. But he got hurt.

How is that a foul?!! Damn he blocked that shot refs

and Parker got pushed hard with no call on the previous possession.

that one was bullshit. clearly a foul.

Splitter started the half?

No, came in for Blair.

When are we gonna defend against sefalosha??

You don’t defend against a defender

yo kondy

yo easty

what do we need to do to bring about a turnaround miracle in this game?

get Tim Tebow on our team

Do it, pull the trigger.

we should trade Tim for Tim or at least make our Tim to start Tebowing instead of hugging the ball

Toros beat Tulsa earlier 91-90. Dentmon continues to lead the scoring at guard with 23 points and 5 assists, followed by Dawson with 19 points and 10 rebounds. Cory Joseph and Da’Sean Butler were off in their shooting, but CJ had 8 points and 5 assists while Da’Sean had 8 points, 7 rebounds and 3 assists. Leo Lyons added 11 points and 7 rebounds while Lance Thomas had 9 and 9.

ok back to basketball

the 3rd is not going well so far

Ok so thats a jump ball right? Thats not a foul like before.

I guess pushing on the back is not a foul this year.

we are we losing by 10? quick recap anybody?

Poor execution

Yep. It’s been an ugly game.

The refs suck and we left our d in sa

They’ve scored more points so far.

Nailed it!

RJ is playing with passion unseen.

Terrible pass by Timmeh. Down 11 again.

That was a bad pass Duncan. Sigh

darn it RJ!

duncan’s fault, shit pass.

yeah, hence the darn instead of damn…

…isn’t darn just a “polite” way of saying “damn”?

Damn is a polite way of saying shit.

yes, I was being polite….

sure you weren’t asking RJ to do some needle work?

I do like his “ink”…
(howdy Lulls)

I like BigFun infinitely more that peanut…

who cares, still RJ’s fault

in case you didn’t hear, bad pass.

Yup its going to be that kind of season on the road

Too early to tell. 2 of the games were second nights of b2b. The other saw Manu get hurt.

Everyone but RJ is playing like poop

Did you ever think you’d say that last year?

Say what you want about the defense, it’s the offense that’s sloppy and missing open shots while forcing some bad ones. That feeds the easy break for OKC.

this is NOT going well

See what happens when you post Korean comics, LD?

What happens? We close in on the other team?

3rd Q collapse?

We do not like to mention these things as they are occurring.

Finally a foul on the Thunder.

We need mojo

who’s the one on the right?

Our future President.

mitt romney?

MITT ROMNEY HAS NEVER THROWN A TD PASS IN A PLAYOFF GAME, I’LL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM!

he was a stand out in pop warner…

Don’t even type such words.

That was a rather crappy fast break.

I would characterize it as “shitty”.

I was trying to be polite an’ shit.

Watch your mouth!

never stopped you before

Tiago is a really good passer.

an empty possession

Call the fucking foul!!!! Oh wow no call for jefferson and they call it for Ibaka..wow

miss the second please

Now that was poor officiating. If RJ doesn’t get the call on the break at the rim, neither should Ibaka. They’ve let contact go both ways tonight so keep it the same.

nice D, but wasted fast break opportunity there.

we cant afford wasted opps with this team

Stern has to have a team win all 3 games in a BABABA.

ptown junk checking in, CHARGE!

PTown’s WHAT?

this game be in need of some regulation

that was crap, Tony. crap

How is that not a charge?

what the hell was that TP

This game is about to slip away…

um…wow

Damnnit, that was a shitty call!!!

He was moving his feet a bit, though, right?

(maybe)
SHITTY CALL!
;)

SORRY, YOU WERE RIGHT. WHAT WAS I THINKING? BURN THEM!

This is crappy officiating. When the hell is Tony going to get a foul call on their bigs? And no charge?

that was a charge dammit

And that’s worse. Neal was there. Cost the team 3 points.

that was a charge.

Timmeh

a BUNCH of their points have come from the FT line this half

Most of their points always come from there.

&ersons chance

This is getting ugly.

This is getting ugly.

The refs are calling it in favor of OKC, but to be fair, they are the ones being aggressive. We are settling for jump shots

We need to feed splots in the post.

They heard you

Thats Sexsplot to you.

well, TP and TD taking it to the paint, no fouls are being called.

too true, you’re not going to get fouled often on jumpshots.

They are kind of running over us at this point.

literally

yeah…….no, i won’t say it.

Greenobili comes back to earth. he hasn’t scored yet.

He’s been scouted and neutralized.

Spurs guard Tony Parker goes to the locker room with about five mintues left in the third quarter against the Thunder.

crap! What the hell happened? No Manu, Blair and now no TP too?

Maybe just the first word?

When it rains, it rains shit.

thats a big steaming pile of le poop

What a great opportunity for TJ and Tiago!

Crap. I’m guessing Pop concedes and takes Timmy out before something bad happens to him, too.

Maybe he needed to go potty.

There’s still plenty left to make a comeback. GSG.

plenty of time? yes. plenty of talent? well….

And we’ll need plenty of help from the zebras, which seems very unlikely.

passes up the wide open three and take it into the shot blocker

TP out? What is bad, just got worserer.

hows that gonna be afoul now

Its Kevin Durant

ah yes

Defenders have to be at least a foot away. Get too close and they call a foul on you.

shooting foul?

Wow rhis is pathetic. OKC just has to drive in to get a foul call. Retarded.

Stern is a clever boy.

you get foul calls by being aggressive. we’re not really being aggressive.

What happened to Tony? I didn’t notice anything.

been getting hammered by the OKC bigs in the paint all night. He went out right after that failed attempt driving to the paint, must have happened then.

Poor offense by Spurs continues to feed OKC offense. Perhaps this comes down to role players playing better at home. OKC is at home, we’re not.

At least, our Big 3 may get a rest in the 4th.

big….1.

Bonner, Green and Anderson?

Do the Spurs have a run in them?

I dont recall one this late.

Blair and TP is in the locker room, so I’m not so sure anymore.

Here comes Bonner to save the day!

He’s our Tebow!

why don’t you just marry tebow, and get that green card?

Somehow I don’t think he’d be down with that.

meh nice move by tiago

hey tiago im digging it

Good post moves Tiago!

Tiago worked hard for that

I just want to see Anderson get in some good minutes. He needs to build his confidence.

yes, lets keep it to 14

wonder what % tiago normally shoots at the line

Tony and Blair each took a knee but are okay

finally some good news.

Tiago has no rebounds yet…

o.O

not cool, splots.

dont be hatin on Sexsplots

see, be aggressive, get the call.

Thunder might be the first team to win their set of b2b2b

Fraid so

They’re a young team anyways.

Got to fix the road woes asap

Helped to play Houston in the first two, Rockets gave away the game last night in the final minute.

Sean just said:
“Anything is possiblllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllle”

Green only played 8 minutes tonight.

he’s back in now. he was getting pwned regular

And he’s 10th in PER! Sacrilege.

and the fouls continue

I do believe this might be another practice game.

Hey guys – try passing the ball.

passing is overrated

Tell that to all the Tebow haters.

emergency hook shot!

tj thinking hes tony

Zero ball movement right now.

ken mauer says “oops, i didn’t realise it was durant”

oh tiago, that was just ugly..

This is horrible

Every road game we have played someone has lit us up, or the team has. When is that shit going to end? Sigh

rookies or some bench player looking like allstars

Agh. Not really liking these road blowouts.

this game was going to be difficult to win anyway, i’m glad we won yesterday. But we cant continue to play like this on the road

I agree, we are playing absolutely horrible on the road. No defense and bad execution.

Each road game has had it’s own circumstance. With so many young players, the reality is they will play better at home. Road games are won by stars. One of ours is not a primary scorer. The other is injured.

i agree, but we are getting blown out on every road game, that cant continue to happen

The first and tonight were b2b. Even worse, tonight is a 4th in 5. The other we were right there until Manu go hurt. That was a pretty big psychological blow. I’ll wait for a larger sample size.

i have to disagree with you regarding manu – we were playing pretty poorly before he went down, even if the margin wasn’t large.

Fair enough but we were talking margin.

Just like the MInnesota game. Down 7 at the half, we end up down double digits to start the 4th.

I shall now stuff my face in ice cream

where in the hell is this oklahoma city anyways

in oklahoma?

pssh, what a gimmick

And the Aussie gets an “A” in US geography.

Not far from Stillwater where Anderson payed college ball.

LWM is not going to be all sunshines and lolipops, you know.

so we were down by 6 at half time, huh? thanks for toying with us, spurs.

Sorry for fucking everything up, peeps. This one is on me.

The fish would’ve countered the Korean comics nicely.

I’ve let the big Tebow in the sky down, I’m better than this. I shall repent.

3QC and we are on the ropes again. when is the next game?

Word is Tony Parker and DeJuan Blair are sore but generally OK to play after various spills. Given score, probably won’t see either again.

I really dont think our defense got any better, it looks just like last years

Bad offense is feeding OKC fast break. Also, give some credit to OKC for making shots that we’re not.

Good evening all… just got in from a long Vegas weekend. We’re not looking so pretty, eh?

should’ve stayed in vegas mate…

I know… the Spurs rattled off 3 wins while I was gone! Their performance tonight mirrors mine in Vegas.

Thanks for the money and contributing to our economy. We appreciate it.

"I'm mostly gonna be playin' the SHLots!"

It will surely go to protect historical landmarks like that one black glass pyramid built by the ancient Egyptians. The Luxor I think.

Correct. They need it to buy batteries for the big flashlight that points up to the sky.

They’re blinding God so he doesn’t see what goes on off Fremont Street.

"There's gonna be so many Shluts you're not gonna know where to begin!"

hey ford alright man

Wow about time they call a foul for a driving point guard on our team. Too bad Tony never got that call

Free Ike!

Unleash Ike!

FIFY

One positive, Sparkles is still hot.

Photobucket
I thank you, yes?

some things just never change …. would you trade him for Durant?

let me get back to you on that.

I may need some alone time with his pic.

collison is a bad apple

“That was my young fella,” Brown bragged of Bynum. “I taught him everything he knows. … I’m one of the better defenders in the league and we played against each other every day in practice. I told him if you can score against me, you can score on anyone.”

please tell me its is not Kwame on Bynum???

That sure wasn’t Mike Brown.

Yeah, it’s Kwame.

I guess if you’re Kwame, you have to develop a sense of humor to survive being Kwame.

I still remember when Jordan made Kwame cry

I still remember when Jordan KD made Kwame The Large Infant cry

Not even bothering to run the offense now.

They’ve given up.

its now just another practice session…

Why is that a foul on Tiago? Seriosuly why? He did nothing there. Damn man crappy ass officiating

Manu gets those calls every time. Just sayin’

Why do they get EVERY touch foul?

Another touch foul for Harden.mthey get every call huh

its understood they are sensitive maybe

It’s approaching absurd. Our guys have been getting hit all game with no whistle. If they were just letting both sides play that’d be one thing. This is one-sided.

did rj miss the bus or something?

No – he started and played well.

im just starting to missing him is all

he was the only Spur to play well…

this is the kinda news ya can use, thanks

they may be worried he will get hurt

more fouls called on the Spurs.

IKE IS IN YAYYYYYY

Okay, screw this. I get to watch Downton Abbey live after all.

Before you go, is it as good as everyone says? Should I check it out?

It’s great… if you’re an Anglophile.

And I’m not leaving the thread.

I wouldn’t say I’m an Anglophile but I like good shows. I generally dislike fantasy but I loved Game Of Thrones.

Then it’s certainly worth a chance. English shows are at least short.

deat. destruction. sex.

fkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkkk

Well look at that! They run the offense and scored.

Well, I’m gonna stop watching this and enjoy my last day in my home country. I’m sorry for being so weak. I…. believe… innnn miracles.

Later!

I have to keep watching, i like punishing myself

Now your nickname makes a lot more sense.

...


yeah, I can’t turn it off either…

See ya later, crocodile.

See you in a while, aligator.

alligator, feck

fuck, shit

Yeah, it’s time to go.

ummm. Im telling.

Adios, foreigner.

Ok im out. Going to eat some dinner. This game is too ugly too watch. Its just Harden and the free throw liine. Later guys

Good thing “Shameless” season 2 starts soon to take my mind off of this mess of a game.

I’m gonna kill a dragon in Skyrim.

Is there any left?

Not when I’m done with them, I’ll hunt them to extinction.

I gotta get a copy and check it out. And by getting a copy I mean illegally download it.

It will take huge chunks of your life, time you will never get back and years from now, when you’re old and frail and you’re looking back at the decisions you have made, you’ll know it was totally worth it.

stop tempting me.

dont do it, surf, DONT DO It

well, i DO have 4 weeks of holidays left…

boys will be boys

I’ve got it DVR’d. Looking forward to it!

I really need to get me one of them DVR thingys.

Kids with their fancy DVR’s, I remember when a sign of high intelligence was being able to program a VHS recorder.

Ah, yes, the good old days.

Excuse me, I have to return some tapes.

Be kind, rewind.

foul count: spurs 20 – okc 17…..just saying.

so we’re going small, Leonard at the 4

I dont wanna go small. Size matters!

twss

so apparently, that was my 1000th comment here in PtR. Yey!

Ooof, that shot…

Look at OKC, beating up on the old guys thinking they so hot.

Everyone does that except the Spurs

well, we did give a beating to the Mavs.

yeh i remember that, that was funny

that’s always a good time

but did the spurs act mighty proud about it?
Also, the Mavs just could not score. They should be mad at themselves more than anything.

Roy-Al!!!…
I like Ivey.

Harden and his fugly beard are off the floor.

didn’t play him in my fantasy team thinking that at last game of their bababa, he might struggle against the Spurs D… Crazy things are happening this season.

fuckitall…. i saw this coming…. we were on a high after the Denver game, so of course, of course, of course, the Mighty Overseer of Spurs Universe circa 2009-2015 chooses to bring us back down— with a wicked, heavy thud…. fukitall

it could be worse…….ok, i can’t think how.

i can

you could be a steelers fan

aaaaaaaaaaand what sport is that?

I am in …. in pain….. somebody try to soothe me else I start slugging the first bearded or lanky dude I meet in campus

Relax, man. It’s all good. Everthing will be alright. Take a chill pill. Or go rub one out.

hehe good one…. but I guess I’ma play me some Pearl Jam or Soundgarden instead, unleash all me rage….

Are you an NFL fan?

Your sig could use a few more “fucks”.

Naw
Now that Nick Holt’s gone, I’m more happy than angry. Getting rid of him is better than winning the Alamo Bowl.

Who is this Nick Holt you speak of?

Defensive coordinator for the Washington Huskies football team. He is the reason the Huskies didn’t do better than 7-5 this season and why they scored 56 points and still couldn’t beat Baylor in the Alamo Bowl.

Ah, college footbazzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

That’s true with everything in life.

in-fuckin-deed… you’re very wise, oh, green one

funny thing is, Blazers Edge won’t let me post there anymore until I change my signature. Very sad.

I’d say you just got fucked.

I wonder if posting clips of Portlandia over there is a bannable offense.

Should I know what Portlandia is? Or did you just mean Portland.

You should know what it is

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AVmq9dq6Nsg

“The uploader has not made this video available in your country”

fucking racist.

Be glad they’re not charging you $90 for it.

oh dear

what country is that?

this is insane

I don’t know how to react to it.

That’s just the intro. Watch some other clips, very funny show.

Konday, are you pouting somewhere?

no, why?

dunno. just thought maybe you were.

we all will be pouting soon. if not already.

whats this? A guide for the next korean comic?

we’re gonna be expected to read the original text, not the english subs.

I like Ike. He looks like Horry in bad resolution image.

now if he can only hit clutch 3’s too.

Does it get any better if I switch to non-HD?

nothing can make this better. except cake.

at least Neal is getting some time at the point with the second unit.

My feelings about this game, in graph form

Ike a bit slow on defense there..

I’m out. Got things to wash and detailed dusting to do.

thanks for staying so long, Que :)

yeh GREEN yeh! YEH!!

...

thats just good defense right there!

he had better have been given a flagrant for that.

Kawhi can get a double double if he gets another rebound.

And he does! Double double for Kawhibunga.

I was afraid for a moment I might have jinxed him by saying anything

Yay, we only lost by 12. Moral victory.

I was worried we’d lost by 20+…

i need a hug

Spakles should hug you. This is the least he can do.

hey, at least everybody scored :|

i dont care, im not gonna accept its over and just post things

yeah let’s try to draw ourselves Durant, Westbrook and Harden phantoms and beat the shit outta them…

bonner!! 360 wham a jam a!!

wow, we just lost by 12. good game.

Cavs and Blazers anyone?

ha! that’s what i’ve switched to.

YEAH BOYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY

Desperate Housewives anyone?
