This should be another good test for us against our old friend LeBron.

Go Spurs!!

So it sounds like both Manu and Duncan are going to be ready to go for this one.

Good test for us. Looks like you guys are finally hitting your stride just in time for playoffs again.

I can see the Bold Overreaction Express running through TNT studios already.

If we win its "I told you! Don't forget about the Spurs!" even though they were the ones who already casted us aside as old and finished. If we lose its "I told you! The Spurs run is over!"

Same for the Cavs. If they win its "Lookout! I told you! They are winning the East!" and if they lose it will be " See? I told you! The Cavs don't have the CHEMISTRY to win against good teams! Break them up! Fire the coach!"

At least we play better on TNT than we do on ESPN...

I'd rest Kawhi.

That would be amazing.

I'm a lot more excited about this game than I usually am about regular-season games. Part of it is that I think the LBJ/Kawhi matchup will be good theater, but I'm also just looking forward to getting a look at the Cavs; I haven't watched them play much since the turnaround.

Go Spurs!

I love seeing Kawhi play Lebron! Did anyone see Kawhi get asked if he should be defensive player of the year?

Asked after the demolition of Toronto if he considers himself a Defensive Player of the Year candidate, the typically reticent Leonard lit up.
“Yeah, most definitely,” said Leonard, who also owns five consecutive 20-point scoring games. “There aren’t too many guys who can defend the one (point guard) through four (power forward) and stay in front of them and really bother them. We’ll see what happens.”

LBJ brings the best out of Kawhi, and like BombsquadSammy, I am way too excited for this regular season game. The Cavs did unbiblical things against the Mavs a few days ago. Should be a good one!

Kawhi said that? Good for him! Love that honest confidence!

Goodness TNT, turn off this garbage Wizards/Grizzlies game!

Everyone looking active early. Glad for that.

This game is unbelievably competitive so far

I can't believe the Cavs need to play James Jones, that's not good for them.

Mozgov makes them such a better team. I think he is the key to how far they go this year. Unbelievable they were able to pick him up.

I can understand Chuck taking Lebron, KD, or Westbrook ahead of Kawhi, but I wouldn't take Harden or Curry ahead of Kawhi.

Friends, this game is TOTALLY living up to the billing so far.

If Barkley weren't commentating, it would be perfect.

Very evenly matched, this should be the finals this year. As a Spurs fan I'm not sure I want that, but as a fan of the game, this is a great matchup.

Now onto the dreaded 3rd quarter. We have had horrendous 3rd quarters this year.

SPURt · Post #19 » by **SPURt** » Fri Mar 13, 2015 3:43 am

20-17 third, one more to go

Awesome game so far. Let's close this one out.
