I actually WON!

Ahem. Refresh, please. Then weep.

Vayanse a la re co…

Nice win Yoda!

Lakers slaughtering Blazers.

I just do not get the Blazers.

Barkley called them the best team in the West. It was all downhill for them after that.

It was downhill for the Mavs last year. You know before winning it all.

I thought about that too. But it would be harder for the Blazers, if they will be #10 in the West.

They’re making last year’s Cavs look good

That’s a tight top 4.

TWSS?

Uuuuummmmm yeah.

what’s that tight top for?…

What do you think, does TD rests tomorrow?

No. Not with Tiago out.

probably not. No other big to play in his spot.

No, we don’t have anyone to fill in for him.

Pop could go small and with a white flag.

I hope he doesn’t though.

Timmeh looks good. I bet he feels well. He won’t allow Pop to sit him now, when Tiago is out.

Timmie doesnt need rest

He’s got a bionic leg!

He is old. He doesnt run fast enough to get tired

I lost by 9……I should not have taken that bathroom break

That win was sweet.

Dangit, tomorrow sets up perfect as a white flag game, but this team just doesn’t know how to lose. Can’t wait for Thursday.

Well, Portland’s already given up tonight so they should be well rested.

My thoughts exactly.

Hopefully they dont learn how to tomorrow.

Parker Duncan Bonner = New Big 3

Woooohoooo 11 straight BABY!!!

SEASON HIGH 95 (BY FAR MY HIGHEST TOTAL) AND IM 8TH?
I HATE YOU ALL.. SERIOUSLY

Keep trying. : )

Aw. We love you too. :)

I thought my 85 was amazing. :p

At least I didn’t go for 300 again. I’m not motivated if Jordan isn’t here.

How about Neal’s crazy buzzer beater again to end the 3rd.

Fun time to be a Spurs fan!

if neal didnt make that buzzer beater, spurs could be playing in ot.

Yeah, that was wild!

After that I felt like we would win. (knew better than to say so, though!)

Great win and great being with you guys!

It was wasn’t it?…on both counts.

I hate to make this comparison … Rj is the new Derek Fisher (play like shit the entire game, clutch play at the end)

well compare their salaries.

He certainly Fisher’d tonight

Better than emulating Chris Paul(’s last game).

2012 comments? very nice

It’s the end of the world as we know it, but I feel fine.

Spooky. All this on the same night of the 88’s…..

anyway, got to go.. see you guys tomorrow!

Nuggets – Wolves in OT, who ya got?

Nuggets. Don’t want the Wolves to make the playoffs.

my feelings exactly

why? rubio?

Their bigs abuse us.

Pekovic and Love are Randolph and Marc all over again

Oooh, might have to agree with you there. They’d be a handful. But ZERO experience. But so was…

If I had any extra cash, I would totally get league pass to watch those 2 teams every night.

so proud of our guys.

Where’s RJ?

what did he have, a timely 7 or 8?…. great job at the end though.

Like always….our big 3 carry us to a win…wait what?

yes, you said it!

50 win season still very much in play.

I keep expecting Tony to come back to earth, but apparently Russell Westbrook is a helluva motivator.

Maybe they were able to create the Lil’ Russell we talked about

as long as it’s not the Lin’Russel you’re talking about…

backstory?

When we played OKC, Westbrook was talking smack to Tony before the game. Tony proceeded to torch the Thunderclusters and he hasn’t set down the gas can since.

what he say?

No idea, but you could see Westbrook jawing at Tony.

I like when you could see TP yapping back at him IN FRENCH, loud as all get out…. no T though, good frenchie…

He’s averaging 26 ppg and 8 apg this month – very much deserving of the ASG.

If Durant wouldn’t have scored 51 last game I could see Tony getting player of the month

Awesome win, without Tiago and Manu. Bonner, Neal, RJ at the end… great game.

I’m out. G’night all!

Good game, guys. This is a ridiculous streak.

See you guys tomorrow!

Awesome game!!
Hope y’all have a great night!
GSG!

GN guys………..Great game tonight

WOW Blazers 22 Lakers 47 in the second

Steve Blake with a lucky night

14 points and the leader scoring of the lakers …

yay! he is on my fantasy team :D, I was ready to cut his ass

If by some incredible stroke of fortune we’re able to go 9-0 on the RRT, we’ll have just set a franchise record for consecutive road wins.

you are going a little bit ahead of yourself. we still have two tough games to play, without Tiago&Manu.

That’s why it would be an iNCREDIBLE stroke of good fortune.

Wouldn’t it be UNBELIEVABLE if we don’t lose again this season including playoffs? And Shaq will look like a genius.

David Stern might have a heart attack.

As long as Linsanity is going on, I am sure he can take it. NY-SAS could be his dream Finals this year.

The Jeremy Lin Story in the Finals
Ratings would be so High!!! that probably he wouldn’t care about spurs in the finals

I can see the old, boring, limping on bionic leg Tim Duncan as a Darth Vader of the Finals against up-and-coming Lin Skywalker. It would be a nice story.

I do not want Portlant, Minny or the Grizz in the playoffs. But atleast 1, probly 2 of them will make it. And we’re sure to meet one of them in round 1.

Im OK with Portlant But I dont want Minny, Grizz or Rockets

I think I would take Portland over the other 2, especially if Z-Bo is back.

I don’t want to play the Lakers, Dallas and Miami. I don’t want OKC before WCF, and I am not thrilled about playing Houston.

Houston is always a dogfight, and seems to go either way. I’d give our guys a slight edge. Minny and Memphis kill us down low and I, frankly, do not want 6 more games of it.

We beat Memphis like a drum this year so far, and last season loss is still sore. If we have healthy Manu and Tiago, I am sure we can get a sweet revenge, Z-Bo or not.

What I would LOVE to do is to play Knicks in the Finals, like in 1999.

I’m fine with Minny. They are not experienced and have awful wings. If Splots and Manu are healthy I don’t mind playing the Wolves.

What a play from Afflalo.

So awesome! !!!! Damn i love this team

RJ diving for a loose ball and hitting clutch 3s? I’m scared. That’s not normal.

Wow, Ridnour lost the game.

Missed it.

Couldn’t make the easiest lay up without cover.

The Spurs are the rare team that we won’t immediately drop after a significant injury because they just went 15-7 without the hurt-again Manu. Rest assured, though, they’d trade it all and take the No. 8 seed in the West off you right now if you could guarantee they’d have a fully healed Manu for the playoffs.

From the Power Rankings.

Remember Dallas vs Spurs in the first round with a healthy manu … maybe thats why

that’s so true

Ahem, I stand by my pre-RRT prediction of “Fuck it, Spurs go 8-1.”

Hoping they make me look stupid and just run the damn table!

“Now it’s time for the Nugget of the Night…”

Haha, too easy.

Charles Barkley just called the Spurs “best team in Texas”. I cannot believe my ears.

WOAH WOAH WOAH NO HE DI’INT

He’s trying to jinx them.

Shaq and Kenny agreed and well.

Shaq picked us early to win it all this season, and Kenny never bets against the Spurs. But Barkley is the biggest Dallas fan after Mark Cuban.

I knew Shaq would pick us because he has super respect for Timmy

It was kind of surprising to me because they both were in the debate as “the best big man of last 10 years” or something like that.

I didn’t hear himLALALALALALALALALALALALALALALALA

Didn’t he declare the same thing for Dallas last year? I’ll take it.

its been a while since he liked the Spurs

yes, he did, when we had our incredible regular season start (he said it around late Dec – early Jan as far as I remember).

so that means what?

It seems like the Clips and W’s play each other as often as we play the Rockets.

Anyone know when TJ’s coming back? I love Neal’s cold-blooded daggers, but will be happy when we have a backup PG.

Shouldn’t it be any day now?

According to reports, it should be. I wouldn’t be surprised if the staff holds him until home vs Chicago

Additional rest over the AS Break. Makes sense, especially considering the Spurs record during the RRT.

Soon, I hope. The ball movement in the second was excellent when he was there.

When is the all star break?

This coming weekend

And to think once upon a time this team was 0-5 on the road and wondering where the first win was going to come.

Portland playing like poop.

That’s one way of putting it

Dont worry … Lakers bench is going to play like poop the next 2 games

I’m still celebrating Saturday’s win. I love everyone

In media watch, nary a mention of the Spurs on Yahoo Sports, except Manu’s injury, 2nd from the bottom.

Does the media spotlight really matter?

Nah, we just get a kick out of it.

Skip Bayless @RealSkipBayless
Spurs win. On the road. Again.

He’s one guy who I wouldn’t mind if he like the Spurs less.

what’s wrong with him?

He’s mostly an idiot. Even when I agree with him, he just comes across as a jackass.

Is he a white guy with a bald/shaved head?

Nah a white guy who reminds you of Joker a little bit. He loves the Spurs which is cool but I kind of agree with Big50’s assessment.

I thought I saw him once on TV, but may be not … The only Bayless I can identify is that guy who used to play for Portland.

Ha. Him and Screaming A Smith together is just too much squawking for me.

I actually like Skip a lot

He makes good points but he takes them to the extreme

Portland has 37 with 9 mins in the 3rd.

I hope they play like this tomorrow

Yea, let’s hope they don’t come out looking to kick someone’s butt.

Portland showing signs of life…

I’m out. Good win and good night.

Only a 14 point game now.

I hope Portland has a comeback in them. We need them to get tired for tomorrow.

Duncan had the most minutes played tonight – almost 38 minutes. I don’t like this.

It was unfortunately needed today although he probably wont play much tomorrow.

It will be a good test of his endurance tomorrow.

you probably didn’t like the win too? it was in the face of your pessimistic prediction.

Yeah… I’m going for two straight losses next game!

Also, the crow I’m eating right now tastes pretty bad.

Hope you’ll eat it again and again, you hater!

Don’t matter, I will as long as we keep winning linning.

I think, I flip-flopped at the right time or I would have to eat one with you.

Duncan will be fine
6 games playing 35-37 min in 2 weeks is not that bad …

I hope so as well. My 3 stars for tonight are: 1. Duncan 2. Bonner 3. TP

To many jumpers.

12 points at LA, but Portland just threw the ball out.

Go Blazers just for today
and Die tomorrow!!

No respect to Gary Neal on NBA youtube
Kevin Martin Buzzer Beater, Ricky Rubio Buzzer Beater but NO gary neal

Gasol collided with World Peace, it looked nasty.

You got your chocolate in my peanut-butter!

If you wrote for ESPN you’d be fired for this comment.

Mike Brown’s offense!
