Dec. 7: Pacers at Spurs Game Thread

[hitmanyr2k]

No game thread for two of the current best teams in the NBA and a possible NBA Finals matchup?

[no pun intended]

Duncan vs Hibbert=Master vs Student

[sportjames23]

Why is this game not on NBATV?

[Scholar]

This game not being nationally televised is sickening.

[hitmanyr2k]

Duncan vs Hibbert=Master vs Student

In addition to Duncan vs. Hibbert. You have it all in this game.

George vs Leonard
Wildcard Stephenson vs Wildcard Ginobili
George Hill against his old team
Good bench play

It hasn't disappointed so far. Paul George just woke up in the last 5 minutes.

[no pun intended]

This game not being nationally televised is sickening.
"Y'all motherfcukers dont watch us play"

[sportjames23]

Duncan vs Hibbert=Master vs Student


Obi-Wan vs Anakin?

"Y'all motherfcukers dont watch us play"

He wasn't lying.
Pacers vs Spurs is a premier match-up.

[no pun intended]

He wasn't lying.
Pacers vs Spurs is a premier match-up.
David Stern probably stopped giving Spurs nationally televised games after the Heat-Spurs game last year lmao

[shady6121]

This game should've been scheduled to be on TNT or ESPN. :facepalm

[DuMa]

George Hill THRILL

[crunk-juice]

Pacers on fire

[hitmanyr2k]

George Hill is doing a Clubber Lang on his old team.

[mentallooser]

"Y'all motherfcukers dont watch us play"
Realest shit ever.

[hitmanyr2k]

Anytime Bonner hesitates on a wide open three and puts the ball on the floor Popovich should be screaming expletives in his ear.

[hitmanyr2k]

The Pacers just can't seem to miss right now.

[crunk-juice]

this is incredible. Spurs can't sink a shot, Pacers can't miss.

obviously not indicative of how close these teams really are, but the Pacers are really impressing me

[Rik Smits' Hair]

Watching football, but just wanted to check in. Go Pacers

[Rik Smits' Hair]

PG :bowdown:

[hitmanyr2k]

I will never understand Popovich's love affair with Matt Bonner. I know he spreads the floor but the rewards don't justify the way he compromises their defense. And Paul George is going crazy from 3 point land.

[sportjames23]

Pacers NBA champions this year. Book it.

[hitmanyr2k]

Ayers :facepalm Blowing layups left and right tonight.

[Rik Smits' Hair]

Damn impressive tonight

[crunk-juice]

lol at the Spurs fans exploding after a dunk when down 20+

[NauruDude]

Pacers own Heat own Spurs

[Rik Smits' Hair]

Another 4th quarter ease up. That might bite us one day

[hitmanyr2k]

The Spurs scrubs never say die :oldlol:

[crunk-juice]

Another 4th quarter ease up. That might bite us one day


yeah. in another azz whoopin.


the starters were out because it was over

[joeyjoejoe]

Pacers could win it all this year with pg getting mvp very impressive, meanwhile Parker the overrated piece of shit sucks

[ThatsGame]

Wow, talk about free throw disparity.

[GabeIsGone]

I will never understand Popovich's love affair with Matt Bonner. I know he spreads the floor but the rewards don't justify the way he compromises their defense.
It's a well known fact that Matt Bonner has been blackmailing Pop for years. There really is no other explanation, he gets a pass on everything and anything. He should have been cut YEARS ago.

Everyone always blasts Tim Duncan saying he's had so much help winning his championships. I really don't know why considering the longest tenured big on the Spurs besides Tim himself is Bonner. Seriously the man has manned the post almost by himself ever since the end of the Twin Towers.

[I<3NBA]

Now the Pacers are legit.

[imdaman99]

imagine if this was the finals... would get the worst ratings in the history of the nba.

2 top teams playing and 31 posts :facepalm

[Nero Tulip]

Spurs have been ****ing awful this season. Not a single good win, and it's getting frustrating to watch. We even needed luck against some crappy teams.

And every time it's the same thing.
Houston's for real.
OKC's for real.
Portland's for real.
Indiana's for real.

All excuses. Sure they're all good teams... but the fact is SA is playing like shit. Zero effort from the starters. No defense. Bonner is still playing.

They have to play a lot better than that or they won't even make the playoffs at this rate. We won't be able to just beat up lottery teams for ever.

NBAtv is a joke, thanks for reminding me to cancel mine.

I imagine if they were in the Finals there would be a lot more buzz. I just think most people don't think they will go far? Well, at least not Portland. Indiana will get to the ECF for sure.

a tad spoiled eh?


I get what you're saying, but I think you're being quite the pessimist.

It's the regular season, chill out. Yeah we got the best record in the west last season, but that was the exception, not the rule. I'm pretty sure nobody wants to play 7 games vs the Spurs.

[Fresh Kid]

Now the Pacers are legit.
they are doing good but its still too damn early:no:

ain't dat tha truth:lol

[crunk-juice]

20 games gives you a pretty good feel :confusedshrug:

[HarryCallahan]

Spurs fans hate on Bonner too much. He's the king of +/- :bowdown:


Hopefully Ayes gets benched and we see more Baynes and Thomas.

[Fresh Kid]

20 games gives you a pretty good feel :confusedshrug:
right now they are number one but i don think all this pacer winning is goin to last that long and I still think they are overrated, and its not even half tha season yet:rolleyes:

[All Net]

Great win by indy

[SCdac]

Spurs got clobbered. Too damn cold in SA right now, all them Spurs players were thinking about being at home in bed! lol ... For real though, Paul George went off. Paces are well rounded.

These teams are boring and we knew the Pacers were going to win
