Glad you're getting to go to one at least. I enjoy your comments in this forum. You seem to pay attention a lot and have good observations. Please keep it up, or some of us old timers are just gonna give up on the ****oles who keep denigrating the team and all of its players during every game they play.

[bklynspursfan]

"I have no comment on Mexico," Adelman said, then continued: "It absolutely makes no -- really, when you have 41 home games, it’s not a good idea to give a home game against the Western Conference champions away. It’s just me. I’d rather play them here."

"After European players began making an NBA impact in the early 1990s, San Antonio wrote the book on scouting and developing players from the world over en route to four championships since 1999. This year's group includes Manu Ginobili (Argentina), Aron Baynes (Australia), Patty Mills (Australia), Tiago Splitter (Brazil), Cory Joseph (Canada), Nando De Colo (France), Boris Diaw (France), Tony Parker (France), Marco Belinelli (Italy) and Tim Duncan (U.S. Virgin Islands).

Wednesday's game will feature an NBA single-game-record 17 international players.

Both teams have fared well in exhibition games played abroad, especially San Antonio. The Spurs are 8-1 in international games and 3-1 in Mexico City, though they've yet to contest a regular-season tilt outside of the United States or Toronto.
Minnesota (4-2 in overseas contests) did that twice on back-to-back nights as part of the 1999 NBA Japan Games. Their opponent then? The Adelman-led Sacramento Kings.

Then, as now, both teams expressed an outward appreciation for the moment, tempered by recognition that performance is paramount."

Splitter's presence will be missed against those big bodies. Wonder if Bobo or Ayres gets the start.

Timberwolves have been a tough matchup for us lately. If we play like we did our last two games, the T-Wolves will win

Oh joy, that means more Penderairs abuse tonight.

[ace3g]

Depending on who Pop wants matched up against Pek, Baynes could get the start tonight

[Mugen]

Depending on who Pop wants matched up against Pek, Baynes could get the start tonight

Timmy guarding Love would be a disaster tbh. Diaw should get the start.

[ace3g]

Dan McCarney @danmccarneysaen

Per Spurs, Splitter out with tightness in left calf. Day-to-day. Questionable for Saturday against Pacers.





Might need Thomas for that Pacers game now

[Robz4000]

:lol Splitter

[elemento]

Live on ESPN in Brazil today :toast

[bklynspursfan]

Timmy guarding Love would be a disaster tbh. Diaw should get the start.

Yea, it's tough Splitter is agile enough and can rebound well, so not having him there will hurt a bit, so it'll probably be Diaw. He and everyone else are just going to have crash the boards. I wonder if we'll see Leonard on Love at all. He's obviously a few inches short, but he's guarded Durant/Dirk, etc...

[Mugen]

Tiago probably pulled his calf trying to dunk against one of those Mexican kids tbh. But not having him against Love and West on Saturday is a huge loss.

[Robz4000]

Agreed. If he doesn't play Saturday it's a sure loss. Tonight may not be too big of a deal tho.

[jkid12456]

pop likes, "typical tiago splitter..." *sigh*

[timtonymanu]

Report is that it happened during the 2nd half of the Hawks game. Hope it isn't serious like it sounds, but we all know Tiago injuries are worse than they sound.

[RD2191]

Why is the start time so late?

[Mel_13]

Report is that it happened during the 2nd half of the Hawks game. Hope it isn't serious like it sounds, but we all know Tiago injuries are worse than they sound.

He took himself out of the game two minutes into the 4th quarter. Training staff immediately iced and wrapped that calf.

[crc21209]

Just fkn great. The Spurs badly need all the size they can get for these next 2 games, and Tiago gets hurt. As if the Spurs don't have enough trouble controlling rebounds, this is only gonna make it worse...:td

fucking hornets in 2008 WCSF with the hornet mascot jumping through a ring of fire. they couldn't put the ring out after the act, so they panic and hit it with fire extinguishers. the whole first half there is a hanging white cloud of smoke, and the players are slipping all over the place because the powdery byproduct the extinguishers left on the court.

Welp, see you Saturday guys.

[TXstbobcat]

They are finally reporting it on nbatv now. :lmao

[SpurSwag]

Yeah that's way too much smoke, would be really surprised if it doesn't get cancelled.

The spurs fan in me is mad because we lose an extra home game in turn, but this game was complete bullshit for the wolves from the jump :lol

Oh well, wasn't gonna be able to make the game anyway

[heyheymymy]

If they do reschedule, would they stay in Mexico and try again say tomorrow? Spurs are off till Sat against IND

[phxspurfan]

Start Bonner. Let Duncan remain in the ventilated locker room

Man I was waiting for someone to remember that opening night when the fire extinguishers hosed down everyone in the place. This is not really all that different, tbh. So San Antonians can't really laugh too hard... but we will!

Heard Tony had to be taken to the hospital with moderate smoke inhalation...

:lol Stern literally trying to kill the Spurs before he leaves and willing to sacrifice 20,000 mexicans and Kevin Love to do it tbh.

[FromWayDowntown]

I hope the game gets moved to a later part of the season and not some bs like Friday in Minnesota tbh.

I started to wonder about when they might reschedule if this gets cancelled. Just looking quickly at the schedules, it might actually make some sense to move this game to Minnesota on Sunday night (this is, technically, a T'Wolves home game). The T'Wolves play a home game against Miami on Saturday and then are off until the following Tuesday and the Spurs have a similar break after the Indiana game on Saturday night. At a quick glance, it's hard to find another window like that one in the schedule without forcing one of these teams to play a back-to-back-to-back.

With that said, I doubt that the turn around for a rescheduled game would be that quick.

:lol

can't blame him for wanting game to happen, a lot went into this. i think he underestimated what a shithole Mexico is.

[KL2]

It's a pretty big risk, smoke like that will take days to clear out, even if you can't see it it'll still linger. It can not only cause the players harm, but the fans as well.

No, but :lmao if it ends up being true. What a fucking disaster this would be for the NBA.

[heyheymymy]

Stern really wants this for the league, i bet it goes down tomorrow night, why can't both teams stay at hotels another night? neither play again till SAT

[KL2]

Win lose situation, we lose out on a Spurs game, however we do get to piss off that bitch Stern.

Yeah looks like Friday or Sunday would be the only days. Not diggin' the Spurs playing Indy and Minny on a b2b plus another 4 games in 5 nights stretch tbh.

No way that's real. Wow

Stern's probably telling the players to form a circle and start flapping their arms to ventilate the arena.

Can't believe :lmao

One of the few moments that I can watch the Spurs live on TV and that happens.

[Cry Havoc]

If it was a Lakers or Celtics game Stern would have rescheduled so fast that it wouldn't even merit discussion.

[FromWayDowntown]

In theory, tomorrow in Mexico City would work as well, given the break in the schedule for both teams, but then the league would be deciding to pit its international showcase against its Thursday night TNT showcase. Of course, with the first game of the TNT doubleheader on Thursday night being Knicks/Nets, the league might not mind having a distraction.

[Cry Havoc]
