I shoulda watched the Spurs. Watching the Aggie offense is the most frustrating thing.

Spurs are keeping me sane this year. Between the Aggies and the Cowboys I am about to give up on football.

Yep, Spurs taking the sting out of Aggie football but what else is new.

Timmy with 18 rebounds
Kawhi 3/3 from 3 and 7/7 on FTs
Defense was awesome tonight. Every starter had at least one block.
Held the Hawks to 37 points in the first half.

This is the only sane thread on TA right now. I'm staying here until next football season.

Totally agree. I'm going to avoid all other threads for at a least 24 hours.

Only three players with a Usage rate over 25% and an effective FG% over 57%:

* Steph Curry
* Kevin Durant
* Kawhi Leonard

In case you haven't checked it out lately, the Rockets thread is pure gold right now. You don't even have to troll them, the team is taking care of that.


What the hell is the matter with them? Is their zero leadership locker room (Lawson, Harden, Howard) imploding?

Selfish players with a bad coach.

Pain in the ass Bulls. We missed far too many 3 pointers.

That was a fun game with a lot of back and forth until the 4th when there were tons of free throws and missed Spurs jumpers. It was nice to see Derrick Rose play with some confidence in that 2nd quarter. Kawhi taking over in the 3rd was awesome. Dude is balling right now. For once it was our bench guys that couldn't get going and cost us this one. Mainly Patty, Manu and West.

Anyway, I love the defense still. Our offense just wasn't good enough to pull this one out.

Bucks on Wednesday.

Yeah the bench was dominated last night. Very unusual. Chicago coming with Gipson and Noah is a pretty strong front court off the bench. They are a very talented team.

Interesting match up between Leonard and Butler. They got got paid and are the budding star of their team. Based on last night Leonard looks like the better player.

Seriously? Awesome!
We're hoping to go sometime in March or April

On the night Tim Duncan played his first game against the Chicago Bulls, Michael Jordan led all scorers with 29 points. Four future NBA head coaches -- Avery Johnson, Vinny Del Negro, Monty Williams and Steve Kerr -- combined to score 34.

Bobby Portis, the Chicago rookie who might find himself matched up against the legendary San Antonio Spurs big man for a few minutes Monday night at United Center, was 2 years old on that Nov. 3, 1997 night in the Windy City. Duncan? He scored 19 points on 8-of-14 shooting and grabbed 22 rebounds in only his third NBA game.

That same guy scored 10 points, shot 5-of-9 and grabbed 18 rebounds -- 18! -- Friday against Atlanta. Eighteen years, 25 days and 1,585 regular-season and postseason NBA games later. Oh, and five championships and 1,113 victories later too, since that's what Duncan and the Spurs are all about.

Does Pop have a date after the game or something? Wearing a three piece suit with a baller magenta tie, and most of the season he's looked like a British historian with those old blazers.

After nearly 3 quarters we're shooting 39%, yet we're up by 20. This defense though...

That's a poll for whether Duncan or Kobe is the better all time player. With a little under 15k votes, Duncan is ahead with 63% of the total. Pretty wild. Kobe got all the headlines over the years, but with both their careers basically in the books, the majority opinion is that Duncan had the better career.

When was the last time the Spurs (or anyone) held a team to 70?

Duncan being better now probably helps.

Wouldn't be surprised to see one of LeBron's teams to have done this against some eastern conference team (when the Heat were sorta defense heavy).

It was actually January of this year. Beat Jazz 89-69. Before that it was 2009.

I seem to remember Spurs holding Pistons to below 70 in one if the 05 finals games.

For anyone. Chicago beat Milwaukee 120-66 in April 2015.

Wasn't that every game? Hell I think we won game 7 by a score of 68-63 or so

I've been waiting to begin posting on TA until I found a forum that wasn't completely insane. Should have know it'd be the thread full of fellow spurs fans
