Game Thread: 2-6 GAMEs THREAD

[BOTSLAYER]

It worked well last night so let's try it again.


San Antonio Spurs @ Brooklyn Nets @ 8:00 pm

and

Chicago Bulls @ Goldenstate Warriors @ 10:35 pm

Doubt it will work as well tonight just because of the light schedule but hope I'm wrong. The Warriors really need a win. That fight for 6-9 in the west will be a dog fight between Phoenix, GSW, Dallas, and Memphis

Some dudes will be wearing Spurs jerseys, but it wont be the San Antonio Spurs


Your projected starting lineup for the Nets game (unless Pop changes his mind on TD):


Cory Joseph
Danny Green
Marco Belinelli
Boris Diaw
Tiago Splitter


That is a depressing starting lineup as a Spurs fan.
This is fresh off a double overtime road game back-to-back.
If Brooklyn cannot win this one, they don't deserve anymore home games.


or maybe Popovich lets 37 year old Duncan play a road back-to-back after double OT season high minutes.....

I feel like nights like tonight it should work best because there are only 2 games but lately the traffic around here has been minimal.

I took GSW -8.5, such a big line I just don't think CHI will score with this need to get out of the slump GSW team.

Why not start Mills?

Chicago has a great defense and GSW offense unless Curry is hot isn't anything special. First team to 90 wins

I was eye balling that under earlier, had to take that too.

It does seem to work pretty well, but when the playoffs come around we need to dedicate full threads to each playoff game.

We had series threads last year and worked out great

Series threads sounds OK. Not bad.

All I meant was for the playoffs, not to combine different series.

That's what I mean....each individual series had their own thread. So for example Pacers/Knicks was one thread while Heat/Bulls was another...Better than clogging up the board every night with a game thread for that series

Warriors down 13 after 1

 

[BOTSLAYER]

Mark Jackson is awesome, and also hedged the GSW bet when they released injury info.

 

[bksballer89]

22 for steph

I was slightly off on my lineup projections.


I forgot that Boris Diaw was not going to play either.


He sat on the sidelines with Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, Kawahi Leonard and everybody else.


Danny Green (our 6'5" shooting guard) played power forward last night.


Of course it would not be the Spurs 2014 without suffering two more injuries.

Both Matt Bonner and Nando de Colo suffered broken noses.


They will be fitted with masks and availability for the next game depends on swelling and pain.
