SAN ANTONIO — The San Antonio Spurs cruised to a Game 1 victory against the Portland Trail Blazers in their Western Conference semifinals matchup Tuesday, flattening the Blazers 116-92 in front of a sellout crowd of 18,581 at the AT&T Center.

The veteran Spurs pounded the Blazers into submission early in the contest, with Tony Parker setting the tone with 13 first-quarter points as San Antonio led by 13 after one and never looked back. Parker finished with 33 points, knifing his way through the Blazers' defense all night.

Parker dominated the highly anticipated point guard matchup, outscoring Damian Lillard 17-4 in the first half and 33-17 for the game. Parker, who also had nine assists, scored at will throughout the night and finished 13 for 24 from the floor.

LaMarcus Aldridge, who entered the series shooting 57 percent against the Spurs — his best mark against any team — finished with 32 points and 14 rebounds on 12 for 25 from the floor. But Aldridge struggled early as the Spurs built their lead, hitting just 6 of 17 shots in the first half before finding a rhythm in the second half.

Trail Blazers taught a Game 1 lesson by the stonecutting Spurs

SAN ANTONIO — Maybe you wished for a bout of amnesia as you went to bed on Tuesday night. Or that you'd wake up Wednesday with a mulligan. Or maybe you just clicked the heels of your sneakers together and hoped James Harden would suddenly reappear.

Instead, just this: Spurs 116, Blazers 92.

It's not going away.

Game 1 wasn't a game at all. But before we declare the series over and Portland done, take a tour of the San Antonio locker room with me.

Because on the wall between the lockers of residents Tim Duncan and Manu Ginobili there is posted a beautifully framed quotation from social reformer and early 1900s journalist Jacob Riis.

It reads:

"When nothing seems to help, I go and look at a stonecutter hammering away at his rock perhaps a hundred times without as much as a crack showing in it. Yet at the hundred and first blow it will split in two, and I know it was not that blow that did it --- but all that had gone before."

Down the hallway as you exit the locker room this same Riis quote is also posted in French, Spanish and Portuguese. I'm thinking Spurs coach Gregg Popovich doesn't want any of his players to miss it, but today, it's the Blazers who might want to sneak in and absorb the lesson.

Is this what Tlong does on your spurs forum? Cause i could totally understand your detestation if he tries to force your fan base to read a Canzano comparable spurs writer.

Thanks for this?
 
I think we all watched the game and know what happened.

Hold on, they lost last night?

Thats why I come to this page. To find out the inside information on the NBA!
 
I would just like to take the time to thank Tlong for trolling a fanbase using the same fucking name that can be tracked back here.

Nice one man. Real fucking smart. Who the fuck trolls under the same name?
 
What's funny is if one of the regulars had started this thread we's get suspended for baiting and trolling.
 
Also, I'm not sure any rational fan thought Portland was better than SA. So congrats on the win in game 1. Our roster, youngest in the playoffs, is still learning what the playoffs is all about
 
Maybe it's just because I'm not 16, nor have the mindset of someone who has to have dick measuring contests every game, but why would you go to another teams forum to talk shit?

What good does it do? Some of the best conversations we've had on this forum were involving fans of other teams acting like adults.

He has literally been trolling their forum for years under the same damn name. The last game we had against them in the regular season, they finally found him and spammed the shit out of our forum. These guys are all from that forum.

I really don't know. I don't get any satisfaction out of that kind of thing. I find it humorous to read what other fans think, but I don't enjoy trolling them.

I have never understood trash talking. I agree completely
 
Thank you. Most of us forgot the game was played last night. I hope there is a replay that I can catch somewhere....
 
The best part of this morning was z100 was playing Let It Go when my wife and I got in the car, and she said, "I didn't know they played this on the radio." I said, "only after blazer losses." She scoffed, and as the song ended, the DJ said, "gotta let game one go... Game two is tomorrow."

VINDICATED!

Based on the quality of his posts here, are you really all that surprised?

Man, I've already banned one Spurs fan. I really don't want to start banning them.

It's a pussy move to ban someone. We got our asses kicked. Since when can't we take a little hazing for it?

We'll make adjustments.

I'd rather be us than OKC. We both were taken to the woodshed in Game One, but we didn't lose HCA.

This team got a lesson in playoff basketball. If anything, this team has shown heart and resilience. We have to up our effort, energy and intensity. I have faith in this team. Faith that no group of fans from another team can break.

If you're so insecure that you're bothered by a Spurs fan swinging their nutsack in here, then you probably shouldn't be posting in internet forums in the first place. Win, lose, the Blazers are my team. I love them and am damn proud of them whether or not we win in five or we get swept.

Go Blazers!
