Game Preview: http://mi.nba.com/preview/#!/0021400949


The*San Antonio Spurs*had their worst shooting effort of the season the last time they faced the*Toronto Raptors, though now that performance seems like long ago.

Finally close to full health and producing points at a high rate, the Spurs go after their sixth consecutive win Tuesday night against a visiting Toronto team that's having trouble at both ends of the floor.

The Spurs (39-23), just 2 1/2 games back of a top-four seed in the Western Conference, shot 48.9 percent and hit 9 of 22 from 3-point range in Sunday's 116-105 victory over Chicago in the third of a six-game homestand.

Since averaging 95.9 points on 43.6 percent shooting over a 2-5 stretch, they've scored 111.2 per game and shot 47.9 percent during their longest streak since a season-high eight-game run Nov. 17-Dec. 1.

Tony Parker*had a season-high 32 points Sunday and*Kawhi Leonardadded 20 in San Antonio's 11th win in 12 home games.

Parker appears to have returned to his All-Star form after being slowed by a strained hamstring that forced him to miss 13 games. He's averaged 25.0 points on 64.6 percent shooting in his last three after putting up just 6.8 per game and shooting 26.0 percent over his previous five.

"I'm still dealing with some stuff, but I'm going to fight through it," Parker said. "I'm tired of talking about it. I kept saying I'm going to fight through it and I would rather play than stay out."

The star point guard was held to 10 points on 4-of-13 shooting Feb. 8 when San Antonio shot a season-worst 33.3 percent in an 87-82 loss at Toronto in the opener of its nine-game Rodeo trip.

Leonard,*Tim Duncan,*Manu Ginobili*and*Danny Green*went a combined 13 for 53 (24.5 percent) from the field.

The Raptors (38-25), however, have struggled defensively of late. Since limiting opponents to 88.3 points on 38.3 percent shooting over a four-game stretch, they've allowed 106.1 per game and a 49.2 percentage in their last eight after Sunday's 108-104 loss at Oklahoma City.

Following their third straight loss, the Raptors still own a huge lead in the Atlantic Division but have fallen out of the lead for the East's second seed. They're averaging just 97.3 points while dropping eight of nine, 8.3 fewer than they put up per game up in their first 54.

"We've got to continue to get better," coach Dwane Casey said. "We can't feel sorry for ourselves. Nobody is going to do that. We've got to put together 46, 47 minutes of good offense and good defense and continue as we go on with the season."

DeMar DeRozan*finished with 24 points against the Thunder, but All-StarKyle Lowry*had 14 on 5-of-15 shooting after scoring 25 on Friday in his return from a three-game absence with dislocated fingers.

DeRozan has been a bright spot with 28.5 points per game over his past four, though he's averaged 14.5 while shooting just 32.7 percent in his last four meetings with the Spurs.

Duncan will try to bounce back after his record streak of 1,310 consecutive games with a field goal ended in an 0-for-8 effort Sunday. He's totaled 21 points on 7-of-29 shooting in his last two versus Toronto.

The Spurs have won 11 of the past 12 meetings in San Antonio.

This is a revenge game. The Toronto loss a few weeks ago was one of the low-points this season.

[SugarHill]

Spurs go as far as Tony Parker takes them except that time in the playoffs when he's gets subbed for Patty and the team gets better

[Alamо]

Raptors commentators keep trying to jinx us. How many times are they gonna say that Derozan has never won in this building?

[SugarHill]

If Raps win, TLP has to watch Schindler's List

[Legends66NBA7]

Interior and transition defense has been nice by the Raps, so far.

[Alamо]

Cojo is so trash. Get him out of there.



Show him how it's done tony!!

You hit the nail on the head.

Hasn't won in a couple of buildings, I would imagine.

[Alamо]

Every time Cojo touches the ball we lose any sort of momentum we worked so hard for

[SugarHill]

Stop saying cojo

Jesus

[Legends66NBA7]

Lowry and DeRozan need to step up on offense. They are taking tough shots, not driving all the way.

[T_L_P]

Stop saying cojo

Jesus

Aight....CoJo

Stop saying cojo

[Alamо]

Stop turning the ball over :banghead:

[T_L_P]

Diaw u scrub

[Legends66NBA7]

Derozan just shit on Diaw wow

He's an excellent pump faker. Not just to get the foul but step through to get seperation.

I just wish he used this more early on and not just go straight for the jumper.

[SugarHill]

lol @ Sean Penn pretending to be Liam Neeson

[SugarHill]

He's an excellent pump faker. Not just to get the foul but step through to get seperation.

I just wish he used this more early on and not just go straight for the jumper.
Jonas should give up his pump fake privilages to Derozan and Derozan can give up some of his wack chucks

[Alamо]

Verde for 3!!!

Itza is a cnt

Jonas didn't stand a chance

[T_L_P]

There's a film called Hollywoodland playing on my TV.

I know nothing about it but I can already tell it was a huge flop. :oldlol:

[SugarHill]

Bout to just play fifa after that Lou move

[Alamо]

:lebronamazed:




Parker!!

[Legends66NBA7]

Patrick Patterson can't hold on to shit.

[Alamо]

Diaw looks like he hasn't played basketball in months.

[SugarHill]

Spurs are the only team that can look lost on offense and in the midst of a wild bail out pass that somehow reaches an open dude for 3

[r0drig0lac]

the machine is starting to heat up

[Legends66NBA7]

9 out of 10 it is.

[Alamо]

Damn we just fell for four pump fakes in a row and the raps didn't do squat with it

[SugarHill]

Lmao. Lou

[Legends66NBA7]

Damn we just fell for four pump fakes in a row and the raps didn't do squat with it

They look lost since that timeout.

[Alamо]

lol patty you goon

[SugarHill]

Full craptors

[Legends66NBA7]

Toronto really needs to use Stiemsma.

I don't get It, don't they need some size, rebounding, and defense ?

[Legends66NBA7]

Yes Vasquez, keep blowing defensive assignments.

[T_L_P]

Kawhi, Duncan, Green, Splitter - The Big 4 :bowdown:

Spurs only have 4 bench points :yaohappy:

[Legends66NBA7]

DeMar forcing and Ross trying to handle and create.

Recipe for a disaster.

[Legends66NBA7]

Seriously, Hans and Stems should play.

Nice seeing Bruno in the suit.

[SugarHill]

We the Garbage

[Alamо]

Demar with a bit of a redemption shot right there :oldlol:

[Alamо]

Man Kawhi gets better off the dribble every single game. I remember when he was trash at creating his own. They grow up so fast :cry:

[Alamо]

Hit the gym splitter

[Legends66NBA7]

"The coach can only do so much."


Um, how about go into the bench further ? Like, okay, your not going to win this game but how about use the bigs ? Can they get some burn ?

[Alamо]

TLP do you ever miss Daye? He used to get the bench so hype, that's where he lived

[Legends66NBA7]

TLP do you ever miss Daye? He used to get the bench so hype, that's where he lived

You're welcome.

[T_L_P]

TLP do you ever miss Daye? He used to get the bench so hype, that's where he lived

Couldn't stand him on the court (he was a chucker), but yes.

This Reggie thing is not working out. He's our 12th man: he needs to ignite the bench. At least Daye was good at that.

[Alamо]

I hate when Kawhi passes up open 3s. You can shoot. Shoot

[SCdac]

Kawhi is fun to watch. Can do it all, post up, shoot, slash

[Legends66NBA7]

Shut up. :coleman:

[Kungfro]

I was gonna say great way to finish the quarter before Bonner hit that three. Still, much better then the first half.

[Legends66NBA7]

Yeah, they played a really good quarter.

[Legends66NBA7]

Spurs cuts and 3's are killing any Raptors comeback run.

[Legends66NBA7]

Amir has really killed it this game.

[Alamо]

Tight game

[Legends66NBA7]

Looks like it's going to be too little, too late.

[Spurs m8]

Why aren't we 20 points up still?

[Kungfro]

5 fouls on Derozan hurts.

[T_L_P]

Bonner boxing out on the first FT :lol

[Kungfro]

Why aren't we 20 points up still?
Val got benched. As much as I get on Casey for not playing him enough, he's just not a mobile enough help defender to play against this Spurs offense.

[BurningHammer]

Raps came as close as 6 but they can't hit open spot-up threes for some reasons. :ohwell:

[Legends66NBA7]

Eh, we're just not there yet to give it a full 48 minutes.

Whenever we snap out of this funk, it better happen fast, man.

[T_L_P]

fjnfjfjfn

[BurningHammer]

They should be able to collect enough wins for the playoff, but you should better go in like this.

[T_L_P]

Bill, you noticed Tim acting really weird tonight?

[BurningHammer]

Starting to hit threes when it is too late. :ohwell:

[ArbitraryWater]

I didn't see this game.. what do you mean? :oldlol:

Nah, he was getting pretty snappy with Danny. Gave him these looks like, "wtf you talking about dude".

Looked like he got into something with Lowry too (exchanged words).

I hope he's okay though. Probably just tweaked his elbow (he went to the locker room).

[Milbuck]

Tim Duncan.

parker shut down shop and now he's suffering withdrawals. hard to live a constant double life for so many years and have it ended so suddenly. get well timmy.

[Alamо]

It's just March. No joking around from March-June. Spurs are 20-0 in March since last season :lol

[SugarHill]

I hate the Spuds

[T_L_P]

He could do a lot better than Tony Parker, bitch.

[PsychoBe]

parker was easy, young, submissive. he wanted so hard to fit in. popovich used to leave him crying on the bench, and timmy would comfort him. in the locker room timmy would tell parker to stay after so they could talk. it started off casual, timmy would give advice and parker would listen.

timmy enjoyed the build-up. then one day, timmy invited parker to practice with him alone. they ran some sets, some pick n roll scenarios, timmy told parker where he liked the ball, etc. then in the showers it all came to a head. timmy asserted himself on parker, and he didn't know what to do. "t-timmy what are you doing?" he'd ask with a shaky voice.

timmy wouldn't respond right away. he had second thoughts. he had a wife and two kids, why would he throw it all away for a foreign rookie pg? but it was too late to go back. it was all in the spur of the moment. afterwards, while parker was washing himself clean, he heard timmy say to him "you know not to tell pop right?" parker simply nodded. he wasn't sure what had happened, his mind hadn't caught up.

then timmy made his leave, and parker was all alone.

part 2 coming soon.

timmy sat in the locker room with a grim expression plastered on his visage. parker approached him after the game and sat next to him when no one else was around. "how you holdin' up?" parker asked.

timmy looked at him and smirked cynically. "hyper-extended elbow, might miss a few games. i dont want to leave you guys when you need me the most." timmy said. parker frowned and put his hand on timmy's shoulder.

"you still have me, remember?" timmy couldn't help but smile. he placed his hand on parker's head. after all these years it was still cleany shaved, still smooth. "i know." parker felt that he sent the wrong message and kindly used his hand to remove timmy's from his head.

"we can't do that anymore timmy..." parker said. it didn't sound like a request. but, it didn't sound like it was final either. timmy picked up on that, but he didn't want to force the issue. now was not the time. "okay, sorry." he stood up and walked away.

parker was left alone in the locker room, and he buried his face in his hands. "please don't go..." he whispered.
