Game Thread #5: Spurs @ Wizards -- Wed. (11/4) - 6:00 PM CST (2:00 AM Riga Time)

[BatManu20]

Wow. Need a stop now. Plz no buzzer beaters..

[SuperCam]

MVPARKER Saves the day :wow

[100%duncan]

Watch how we lose with a wall fadeaway turnaround jumper

[From Downtown]

MVPARKEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEER

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

I'm hopinh for a Kawhi steal and coast to coast dunk to make up for that easy miss

[Yuixafun]

Sweet, thank whoever Danny didnt jack that up

[Robz4000]

Can they get a stop?

[RD2191]

lol thats how you do it KL

Yeah. Get lucky. Fuck outta faggot.

[TheDoctor]

This game reminds me the thriple OT games vs MEM and POR last season.

[FaM0us Skins]

Parker!

[Keepin' it real]

"But but but what is Pop thinking?"
"Patty should be in there!!!"
"Trade Parker"

You all are pathetic. You know who you are.

[SAGirl]

Gutsy shot by Tony. Still not over though.

[theMatrix]

lucky green didnt force that shit again.. Why doesnt pop draw a play for mills or manu for the 3 point rather than green..

[Perry Mason]

Not only it was a great pass, Tony fumbled it when he went to palm the ball... he had full control of what was going on

Dude, Manu passes too fast and close sometimes. That happened there. Bullets aren't always the best passes.

[davidbowie]

Love seeing the sea of spur fans behind the bench

[Kawhitstorm]

Enrique bailing out Kawhi.......yet again:wow

[Darius Bieber]

Beal or Wall with the dagger here

[Kool Bob Love]

MVPARKER IN THE CLUTCH!!!!

[tholdren]

lol KL fans... hahahahahahahhahah fitting

[NameLess Scrub]

I'm expecting the Wizards to make another random long jumper to win the game.

[Fireball]

too much time left ...

[sasaint]

so many good players and still palying like shit. Good luck with this kind of basketball.

We will learn.

[ElNono]

Dude, Manu passes too fast and close sometimes. That happened there. Bullets aren't always the best passes.

Dude, it wasn't a bullet pass... it was a pass right in front of him... I re-watched it twice...

It's OK, turnovers happen... not hating on Tony...

[Kawhitstorm]

Gutsy shot by Tony. Still not over though.

Kawhi w/ a steal & game winning dunk

[spurs10]

Stop!!!

[From Downtown]

We're gonna lose

[Spurs 4 The Win]

inb4 steal and victory

[testies]

mvparker teaching kawhautistic

[milkyway21]

1 LMA miss 2 KL misses.

thrn alleluyiah for. Parker. 3-ptr!!!!!

[sasaint]

Love seeing the sea of spur fans behind the bench

Yeah, cool, huh?

[Kawhitstorm]

Beal or Wall with the dagger here

No Paul Pierce

[bbarry]

nervous time.

[TheGreatYacht]

This is where Cojo is missed

[UNT Eagles 2016]

get a FUCKING stop, no Mo williams shit here


also, take TP out of the game, yes he made a great shot but we need a stop now

[ElNono]

Good denial Manu

[TheDoctor]

B.Beal fucked Kawhi tonight. Got pass him like he was Tony

[james evans]

why the fuck is parker in the game??

[Cry Havoc]

Holy fuck Kawhi just got shook so hard.

[ElNono]

Fuck

[TheGreatYacht]

That was ALL KAWHI WTF

[FkLA]

"But but but what is Pop thinking?"
"Patty should be in there!!!"
"Trade Parker"

You all are pathetic. You know who you are.

Oh shut the fuck that's his first three of the season. I'm guessing you missed his shit play prior to that shot as well.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

GG, poor defense by LMA there but that switch had to be made.

[Canyonero]

Whatever

[Kawhitstorm]

Why cant we beat Washington in DC, I dont understand it, they arent even good

Tim blows when he plays in DC except for that one monster game last season when everyone was injured.

[ironman2886]

Wow.

[RD2191]

:lmao Parker and his turnovers costing us a game per par

[Texas_Ranger]

great defense. idiots

[Ice009]

LOL another error to end the game. Fitting finish.

[Raven]

absolutely blown assignment on their best shooter :lol

[LakerHater]

He got shooook!

[ElNono]

feel for that nigga Splits, tbh

[Baam]

Great shot tbh.

[Spurs9]

:lol

[unleashbaynes]

What the fuck man.

[davidbowie]

We didn't deserve that game

[01Snake]

Piss poor D by LMA

[SuperCam]

FUCK :bang

[sasaint]

What was Kawhi doing?

[steeledl]

Parker saved the game and Kawhi +LMA lost it.... The LMA love story is starting to fall apart faster than any of us could have thought

[SoonerSpur512]

Kawhi lost his man

[KaiRMD1]

LaMarsha fucking sucks, holy shit this nigga sucks on defense

[r0drig0lac]

normal
not impressed

[RD2191]

This is where Cojo is missed

Bold this man.

[james evans]

I guess we don't have a defensive unit anymore

[FkLA]

Holy fuck Kawhi just got shook so hard.


That was ALL KAWHI WTF

They were obviously switching on screens, retards.

[Agloco]

Wow

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Beal with the gand winning shot. Where was our DPOY?

[davidbowie]

Told y'all lma was trash

[BatManu20]

You could see that coming front mile away.

Also looked like LMA was surprised by that switch by Danny.

[Ice009]

Absolutely fantastic finish with another error. Great stuff.

Spurs are darn lucky they're played shit teams or they'd be 0-5 with the way they've played offensively.

[sasaint]

Piss poor D by LMA

No. Kawhi.

[Fireball]

god we suck ... we have wins against Celts, Nets and Knicks ... we suck ass so much ... I hate losing ... meltdown time

[HI-FI]

to be expected. Spurs are going to need a lot of work to gel.

[Darius Bieber]

lol Spurms. Not even gonna make the playoffs. Can only win against bottomfeeder teams.

[unleashbaynes]

Well that was garbage.

[milkyway21]

OMG!

BEAL 3 !

is this the same Beal somebody wanted to trade for KL before? lol. :lol

[SAGirl]

Well... that is what happens. This game was lost in all of the mistakes from the very beginning and through this last quarter... Too bad. It was a very winnable game.

[tholdren]

safe to say. I was right. KL not max, KL not clutch... you're welcome

[Agloco]

Piss poor D by LMA

That's not on LMA.

[NameLess Scrub]

Horrible defense... unbelievable

[da_suns_fan]

LaMarsha Baggage.

[steeledl]

:lmao Parker and his turnovers costing us a game per par

Farm hands giving basketball takes. :lmao

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

I think LMA lost vision after the screen for a bit, made it tough for him to stick on Beal without that hard closeout.

[hitmanyr2k]

Piss poor D by LMA

What was he supposed to do in that situation? :lol He was on an island.

[cjw]

LaMarsha fucking sucks, holy shit this nigga sucks on defense

Does he? You must not be watching.

[Agloco]

Didn't deserve this game.

[AusSpur]

Kawhi just stopped chasing the guy it was obvious was going to take the last shot, instead pushed LMA in his direction.

[kawhidoyoudothistome]

Insert the Bobinator and the defense is GOAT! lol

[TheDoctor]

Same heartbreak finish as last season. I got a bad feeling about this.

[james evans]

should have never came down to a final shot. we had this game when up by 8. wtf

[100%duncan]

Parker saved the game and Kawhi +LMA lost it.... The LMA love story is starting to fall apart faster than any of us could have thought

lol stfu, LMA has had 2 good games out of the first 4. And everyone lost it in the 3rd and 4th tonight with to's and defense.

[DarrinS]

safe to say. I was right. KL not max, KL not clutch... you're welcome

Pretty sure we lose by double digits without him.

[ElNono]

Gotta keep pounding the rock... this thing still a work in progress...

[Kawhitstorm]

LMA deserved it for playing like crap

[SoonerSpur512]

That's not on LMA.

No it's not. But LMA did have a shitty game

[Yuixafun]

Nasty way to loose it, but very indicative of how this game went.

Defensive breakdown


Man now I bet Beal feels like a G after that

[DarrinS]

Oh well, back to the film room.

[Kikoluna]

What a pathetic game. Aldridge looked like me in that last play. :bobo Wow.

[Baam]

Stop with Enrique and Kawhi, the scrub tonight was clearly Aldridge...

[FkLA]

What was Kawhi doing?

He didn't even try to follow Beal. They must've been switching on screens, he even tapped LMA to let him know but it was too late.

[milkyway21]

there was NO SPURS TEAM tonight.

individual plays = L

[lofds]

Everyone had a shitty game. Just put this behind us and move on. Just one of those games.

[Kawhitstorm]

should have never came down to a final shot. we had this game when up by 8. wtf

Enirique froze out Kawhi in the 4th quarter & gave him the rock in crunch time

[sasaint]

Absolutely fantastic finish with another error. Great stuff.

Spurs are darn lucky they're played shit teams or they'd be 0-5 with the way they've played offensively.

9 turnovers in the 4th will kill you. We are so lackadaisical and sloppy. GRRR. Maddening.

[TXstbobcat]

Too many 4th quarter turnovers

[100%duncan]

Pretty sure, Beal was Kawhi's man. Can't blame LMA for that.

[Texas_Ranger]

lets hope this team can win against those scary Hornets on saturday.

[tholdren]

Pretty sure we lose by double digits without him.
pretty sure almost any decent player could score 23 on 22 shots with 0 assists, but you know best

[Kool Bob Love]

Oh well, back to the film room.

after 2 Kawhi bricks and a bone headed defensive play this is what you gonna post? You fucking clown.

[ElNono]

Everyone had a shitty game. Just put this behind us and move on. Just one of those games.

Manu and Bobo were good... but too many mistakes...

[SAGirl]

Absolutely fantastic finish with another error. Great stuff.

Spurs are darn lucky they're played shit teams or they'd be 0-5 with the way they've played offensively.
They have been terrible. The sad part is that it is not on any of our end of the bench roleplayers. No scapegoats this time. Anderson and Butler, very decent minutes. Butler was terrific TBH. West bad on defense, he needs a lot of work. The rotation guys have to do some soul searching here, look at film and get their act together.

[FkLA]

LaMarsha Baggage.

lol salty

[SPURt]

Bradley Beal, you're not my friend anymore

[Ice009]

to be expected. Spurs are going to need a lot of work to gel.

I don't understand why these guys never played a lot more minutes together in the preseason. When you have a team this new, why wouldn't you play these guys together more in the preseason?

[LakerHater]

What the hell was Kawhi doin jus hangin out in the paint!?!

[milkyway21]

Stop with Enrique and Kawhi, the scrub tonight was clearly Aldridge...

Kawhi concentrated more on O than D.

[Kawhitstorm]

Everyone had a shitty game. Just put this behind us and move on. Just one of those games.

Should have put Diaw in the game to settle the team down when they were throwing the ball away

[da_suns_fan]

What did they pay LaMisseda Scrimmage 19.6 million for again?

[sasaint]

He didn't even try to follow Beal. They must've been switching on screens, he even tapped LMA to let him know but it was too late.

If so, that is on Pop. Just terrible.

[tholdren]

Enirique froze out Kawhi in the 4th quarter & gave him the rock in crunch time
you're an idiot. KL can't control a game. He refuses to get contact. can't hold a lead jacking up 20 footers and never getting to the line. you're takes are terrible

[ElNono]

I don't understand why these guys never played a lot more minutes together in the preseason. When you have a team this new, why wouldn't you play these guys together more in the preseason?

It's gonna take more than 5 preseason game... we should have a better idea by the AS break

[ironman2886]

god we suck ... we have wins against Celts, Nets and Knicks ... we suck ass so much ... I hate losing ... meltdown time
Spurs had 5-7 point leads most of the games between the Thunder and Wizards(Glass half full). It's ugly right now, but it will get better.

[BatManu20]

Slow start, turnovers, Aldridge having a bad game, missing too many good looks, etc.

A lot of things cost us this game. Wizards seemed to want it more. They brought it today. Take the L and move on.

[Kawhitstorm]

Kawhi concentrated more on O than D.

He had to considering how shitty the rest of the players were in the 1st half.

[SoonerSpur512]

Props to Tony though. He came through in the clutch. Too bad it will go unnoticed

[TXstbobcat]

What's the over/under on the number of meltdown threads created tonight????????

[random21]

This team will suffer these losses at the end of the game if it's close. They still have to figure each other out...

[FkLA]

Pretty sure, Beal was Kawhi's man. Can't blame LMA for that.

He was but Kawhi stopped following after the screen. Looked like they were supposed to switch and LMA didn't. Still, I thought LMA played good D Beal just made a better shot.

[Texas_Ranger]

I don't understand why these guys never played a lot more minutes together in the preseason. When you have a team this new, why wouldn't you play these guys together more in the preseason?

Spurs should have cut all those scrubs after the firs game and not play them until the last.

[HI-FI]

Enirique froze out Kawhi in the 4th quarter & gave him the rock in crunch time

Porker with the worst +/- for the game. His heroball in teh fourth always comes back to haunt the Spurs.

[look_at_g_shred]

What's the over/under on the number of meltdown threads created tonight????????
Under 15

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I don't want to live on this planet anymore, hope to find a better one followed by a huge asteroid hitting this one, tbh

[100%duncan]

What did they pay LaMisseda Scrimmage 19.6 million for again?

Suns :lol

Honoring nash :lol

[Fireball]

Spurs had 5-7 point leads most of the games between the Thunder and Wizards(Glass half full). It's ugly right now, but it will get better.

but like last season Spurs just cannot win close games ...

[milkyway21]

It's LIVE here so this loss really pisses me off :pctoss

I expect :blah :blah from my friends later :lol

[TheDoctor]

Pretty sure, Beal was Kawhi's man. Can't blame LMA for that.

Beal passed by Kawhi all night long with ease. And Kawhi Z E R O assists again.

[james evans]

just game 5. not the end of the world. We have 77 more games to go. I'm sure we're going to the playoffs. I guarantee it.

[mexicanjunior]

Garbage game...fuck this team.

[Kawhitstorm]

you're an idiot. KL can't control a game. He refuses to get contact. can't hold a lead jacking up 20 footers and never getting to the line. you're takes are terrible

Porker sure did control the game when he was handling the rock in the 4th quarter.

[ElNono]

It's not all bad, tbh... despite all the mistakes we had a solid shot at this game... Kiwi missed a couple shots, LMA missed an open jumper too...

[TheMulletMan3000]

What the hell was Kawhi doin jus hangin out in the paint!?!

i think he was guarding gortat. not sure

[DeRozan m8]

Fuck Beal is an over-rated faggot

[Ice009]

pretty sure almost any decent player could score 23 on 22 shots with 0 assists, but you know best

If I had Kawhi's body, I could do that any day of the week. That would be one of my worst games. I'm a lot tougher than Kawhi mentally and I'm a superior shooter.

Not an impressive game from Kawhi at all. Hopefully no-one here actually thinks he played a good game.

[100%duncan]

He was but Kawhi stopped following after the screen. Looked like they were supposed to switch and LMA didn't. Still, I thought LMA played good D Beal just made a better shot.

yeah that was just weird too. If Pop told them to switch then that's on Aldridge for forgetting it a split-second. If Pop didn't, then that was a good contest. Needed to close out hard else Beal would have just stepped into a 2 pointer.

[Kawhitstorm]

Beal passed by Kawhi all night long with ease. And Kawhi Z E R O assists again.

Kawhi struggles against small quick guards: Monta Ellis

[da_suns_fan]

lol salty

LaDefense Slippage?

[pgardn]

With new team members we will have complete brainfarts.

And really we just did not play well. Neither KL or LMA are ready to carry an entire team. KL got himself two great wide open shots and did not come close. And he has got to chase Beal. That screen was not a wall.

[100%duncan]

If I had Kawhi's body, I could do that any day of the week. That would be one of my worst games. I'm a lot tougher than Kawhi mentally and I'm a superior shooter.

But you don't, so argument invalid.

[tholdren]

Porker sure did control the game when he was handling the rock in the 4th quarter.
Tony turned the ball over, but he tied the game. Leonard failed in the moment twice tonight. He's not a max player - he can't get to the line. Thats about it.

[From Downtown]

80-2?

[da_suns_fan]

Suns :lol

Honoring nash :lol

LaSiza Truckage?

[milkyway21]

Beal passed by Kawhi all night long with ease. And Kawhi Z E R O assists again.

[sasaint]

Everyone had a shitty game. Just put this behind us and move on. Just one of those games.

Not everybody was bad - mostly just wildly inconsistent. Some good, some VERY bad. But Manu was generally good, Butler was surprisingly good, playing himself into more minutes. And Kyle was good in short minutes.

[100%duncan]

It's not all bad, tbh... despite all the mistakes we had a solid shot at this game... Kiwi missed a couple shots, LMA missed an open jumper too...

I kept thinking like that last season, and these are games that you are supposed to win if you want the #2 seed.

[Kawhitstorm]

yeah that was just weird too. If Pop told them to switch then that's on Aldridge for forgetting it a split-second. If Pop didn't, then that was a good contest. Needed to close out hard else Beal would have just stepped into a 2 pointer.

That's was similar to Lillard hitting the series clincher against the Rockets when Harden/Parsons miscommunicationed on the switch.

[100%duncan]

LaSiza Truckage?

Ziro Reengs

[ceperez]

So sick and tired of how this team is playing.

Also so damn disappointed with Aldridge. Guy can't make mid range shots and looks completely lost in offense and defense.

West also is a liability, he can't defend anyone at the post.

[100%duncan]

That's was similar to Lillard hitting the series clincher against the Rockets when Harden/Parsons miscommunicationed on the switch.

We'll never know if Pop told them to switch.

[tholdren]

But you don't, so argument invalid.
Until KL is coached to get to the rim then Spurs won't win shit, so your argument is actually worse.

[Kawhitstorm]

LaSiza Truckage?

[DarrinS]

Work in progress. :lmao @ all you knee-jerk fans

Act like you've been here before

[ElNono]

I kept thinking like that last season, and these are games that you are supposed to win if you want the #2 seed.

I can't think about seed this season when we're working so many new guys, and even reordering roles of old guys... we need to make a lot of progress before we get there...

This season really has no comparison with last, where we brought back basically the same team that won it all...

It's early November... as I said, we'll know much more by the AS break

[100%duncan]

Until KL is coached to get to the rim then Spurs won't win shit, so your argument is actually worse.

Notice how nobody replies to you bro? :bobo

[loveforthegame]

Film session should be fun. Or Pop might just burn the tape.

[milkyway21]

Kawhi's D always suffer everytime he is on offensive..

[Ice009]

Kawhi struggles against small quick guards: Monta Ellis

Someone actually posted about that in the comment section of that Yahoo article about Kawhi's defense the other day. I knew it was a weakness of his, but I was hoping that he'd improve guarding quicker players this season. I thought he may have turned the corner on that. I guess I was wrong. Crazy that he got burned by it 1 day later.

[milkyway21]

Notice how nobody replies to you bro? :bobo

[TheMulletMan3000]

It's not all bad, tbh... despite all the mistakes we had a solid shot at this game... Kiwi missed a couple shots, LMA missed an open jumper too...

tim+lma 0.72ppp on O and they got outscored 1.16 ppp. they have to figure things out. I mean it was fucking nene and gortat

[tholdren]

kawhi 4th quarter only had 3fga with 2 of them in the final minute....

someone put up the sequence of enrique turnovers in the 4th quarter that the wiz capitalize from his hero mode
lol probably because KL was pulling a green and lingering around the 3pt line praying to not have the ball passed to him.

[100%duncan]

I can't think about seed this season when we're working so many new guys, and even reordering roles of old guys... we need to make a lot of progress before we get there...

This season really has no comparison with last, where we brought back basically the same team that won it all...

It's early November... as I said, we'll know much more by the AS break

Really hard to think of 6 if we don't get atleast the 3 seed. That's just me. We can hype them all we want when they get it together but when their seed is fucked up again, I don't see a championship happening.

[tholdren]

Notice how nobody replies to you bro? :bobo

Well you did, so once again... your argument is worse.

[TheDoctor]

Slow start, turnovers, Aldridge having a bad game, missing too many good looks, etc.

A lot of things cost us this game. Wizards seemed to want it more. They brought it today. Take the L and move on.

All true, same as last year.

[pgardn]

Notice how nobody replies to you bro? :bobo

You just did...

Nobody.

[HI-FI]

I don't understand why these guys never played a lot more minutes together in the preseason. When you have a team this new, why wouldn't you play these guys together more in the preseason?
fair question, not sure, honestly though preseason still wouldn't have fixed things since people aren't playing as hard. it's going to be a rough process for awhile. Pop has never had this many new personalities and egos to work into the mix.

[boutons_deux]

Beal is hot so far on 3Gs, good choice for winning shot

[SpurPadre]

Work in progress. :lmao @ all you knee-jerk fans

Act like you've been here before

THIS, though it sucks when you choke and Gary fucking Neal is the beneficiary of it.

[SAGirl]

Insert the Bobinator and the defense is GOAT! lol
thansk for making me laugh. This was a pretty pathetic showing by everyone. Lost as a team.

For this, yea I want Bobinator and Ray TBH lol

[FkLA]

LaDefense Slippage?

So you got spurned by him in FA and now are apparently following his games so you can jump at his mistakes? Pretty sad tbh.

[KaiRMD1]

Does he? You must not be watching.

I missed the third but luckily I saw LaMarsha slip all the way to third row

[100%duncan]

Well you did, so once again... your argument is worse.

I knew someone who offed himself due to depression, I'm just doing you a solid.

[ElNono]

Really hard to think of 6 if we don't get atleast the 3 seed. That's just me. We can hype them all we want when they get it together but when their seed is fucked up again, I don't see a championship happening.

Maybe it won't happen this year... maybe it won't work out until next year... this chemistry and system things take time... hopefully everybody figures it out sooner

[look_at_g_shred]

Ehh 2-1 on the three game road trip, I'll take it all things considering.

[Kawhitstorm]

kawhi 4th quarter only had 3fga with 2 of them in the final minute....

someone put up the sequence of enrique turnovers in the 4th quarter that the wiz capitalize from his hero mode

Mothafucka also gave up a wide open 3 to Wall that shifted the momentum

[100%duncan]

So you got spurned by him in FA and now are apparently following his games so you can jump at his mistakes? Pretty sad tbh.

It's like that nigga who lost his chick to a bigger dick, talking trash with his mates but when the bigger dick comes along to face him, he wilts. Thank you in advance for 4 wins this year DSF :toast

[ironman2886]

Every Spurs player had their moments. Spurs would have got blown out last season in a game like this. When the game is tight at the end of the game, this team is lost. Too soon to worry.

[tholdren]

I knew someone who offed himself due to depression, I'm just doing you a solid.
looks like you've done that 21k times. Congrats

[ElNono]

tim+lma 0.72ppp on O and they got outscored 1.16 ppp. they have to figure things out. I mean it was fucking nene and gortat

Except for the fuckups, I though the defense was generally good.. if we don't make the mistakes, we probably hold them under 100... that's very good... now, the offense will need work

[DarrinS]

I'd say more Manu more minutes minutes, but we're going to need those later in the season.

[pgardn]

lol probably because KL was pulling a green and lingering around the 3pt line praying to not have the ball passed to him.


Just stop with the drivel.
You are awful.

[TheMulletMan3000]

80-2?

:lol seems legit

[100%duncan]

Maybe it won't happen this year... maybe it won't work out until next year... this chemistry and system things take time... hopefully everybody figures it out sooner

Then we're fucked. Tim and Manu look amazing, probably gonna be their last best year.

[SAGirl]

tim+lma 0.72ppp on O and they got outscored 1.16 ppp. they have to figure things out. I mean it was fucking nene and gortat
Lamarcus for sure had a bad game. He won the Celtics game for us down the stretch. It was a team effort of course, but he rose to the occasion. He was lost here all game. Priority no. 1, we have to get him right and going on. Then work on everyone else, seriously.

Kawhi is ready for his role, but Lamarcus is lost among all the shuffle. Many other guys played terrible. Even as bad as they were they had a shot to win this if they had cleaned up their mistakes. No need to rush this.

Lamarcus and Kawhi both were getting doubled pretty badly, and there were no cutters or others looking for a pass. Their execution was horrible, just horrible.

[100%duncan]

You just did...

Nobody.

Was that supposed to be cool? :wow


:worthy:

[DarrinS]

Just stop with the drivel.
You are awful.

tholdren has shitty bball takes

[ElNono]

Then we're fucked. Tim and Manu look amazing, probably gonna be their last best year.

I'm sure everybody is doing their best to make it happen this season... just saying there's no guarantees...

The Spurs always thrived in familiarity, that's what made them largely being great closing games, or starting the season in a romp, etc... this season that's not going to be there. So we're gonna have to work extra hard for it.

[Kawhitstorm]

Someone actually posted about that in the comment section of that Yahoo article about Kawhi's defense the other day. I knew it was a weakness of his, but I was hoping that he'd improve guarding quicker players this season. I thought he may have turned the corner on that. I guess I was wrong. Crazy that he got burned by it 1 day later.

It's like asking Richard Sherman to cover Julian Edelman, the size difference is an issue when he has to turn the corner b/c smaller guys are lower to the ground thus can change direction much quicker. Kawhi is strictly the best wing defender in the league.

[tholdren]

Just stop with the drivel.
You are awful.
chucking 20 footers and being scared is not what a max player does.

[Venti Quattro]

That one was on Kawhi Leonard

[DarrinS]

Gotta get this shit figured out by end of Dec, tbh.

[100%duncan]

I'm sure everybody is doing their best to make it happen this season... just saying there's no guarantees...

The Spurs always thrived in familiarity, that's what made them largely being great closing games, or starting the season in a romp, etc... this season that's not going to be there. So we're gonna have to work extra hard for it.

It's just awful. We really should have gone 10-1. Chemistry or not, these 10 games are easily winnable if we play decent. I mean how many to's did we have? More than 20? Atleast 10 in the 4th? That's not how you play basketball, just frustrating is all.

[tholdren]

tholdren has shitty bball takes
yet I said 4th Q meltdowns with no one taking it to the paint. Your take was let KL shoot jumpers... looks like I win

[look_at_g_shred]

That one was on Kawhi Leonard
Shut up faggot

[milkyway21]

kawhi 4th quarter only had 3fga with 2 of them in the final minute....

someone put up the sequence of enrique turnovers in the 4th quarter that the wiz capitalize from his hero mode

only 3 BECAUSE HE MISSED ALMOST ALL OF THEM..

he was ,8-2 FG in the 2nd half..

[TheDoctor]

So sick and tired of how this team is playing.

Also so damn disappointed with Aldridge. Guy can't make mid range shots and looks completely lost in offense and defense.

West also is a liability, he can't defend anyone at the post.

Actually, LMA played defense and grabbed 11 def rebounds (14 overall). DWest in the other hand is playing like a real 1M dollar contract man.

[pgardn]

Was that supposed to be cool? :wow


:worthy:

Sure.

Whatever.

You are as shitty a poster as he is.
If that's cool, then yes, it's cool.

[siraulo23]

what a disappointing lost tbh

its just 1 game but it's the west, hopefully it doesnt cost the spurs at the end of the season

[Venti Quattro]

Shut up faggot

:lmao Leaving Beal wide open

Of course it's frustrating. Spursfan is spoiled too, tbh... we all knew going into this season it was going to be hard and require patience...

I never said let KL shoot jumpers.

Ohh, Im hurt, old fuck.

West is hugely disappointing. I knew he was slow, but not to the degree we are witnessing.

[milkyway21]

Geezz. Neal, Gooden, Temple & Blair must be so proud they beat the Spurs

[Kawhitstorm]

Lamarcus for sure had a bad game. He won the Celtics game for us down the stretch. It was a team effort of course, but he rose to the occasion. He was lost here all game. Priority no. 1, we have to get him right and going on. Then work on everyone else, seriously.

Kawhi is ready for his role, but Lamarcus is lost among all the shuffle. Many other guys played terrible. Even as bad as they were they had a shot to win this if they had cleaned up their mistakes. No need to rush this.

Lamarcus and Kawhi both were getting doubled pretty badly, and there were no cutters or others looking for a pass. Their execution was horrible, just horrible.

Danny slumping & Tony playing off the ball is exasperating the problem b/c the spacing is horrible. It was reminiscence of Kawhi getting doubled by the Clippers & nobody being able to hit a shot from outside to keep the defense honest or spread the floor.

[pgardn]

Ohh, Im hurt, old fuck.

No you're just stupid.
It can be fixed.

[100%duncan]

Of course it's frustrating. Spursfan is spoiled too, tbh... we all knew going into this season it was going to be hard and require patience...

We're spoiled but those turnovers, ugh.

[100%duncan]

Saltyyyy.


Look everyone here is discussing basketball, even throlden, except for one. Old fuck.

[look_at_g_shred]

:lmao Leaving Beal wide open
Yeah..hilarious.

[lofds]

Manu and Bobo were good... but too many mistakes...Boris is always solid but didn't get much playing time. Manu was good.

So frustrating this game cause if we prevented just one of those stupid turnovers we could've had it.

[DarrinS]

Of course it's frustrating. Spursfan is spoiled too, tbh... we all knew going into this season it was going to be hard and require patience...

Yep. We are spoiled. I expected to lose these types of games (and we'll lose more), but they'll figure it out eventually.

[Ice009]

But you don't, so argument invalid.

I just hate seeing players brick open shots badly with the game on the line. It means they are scared and/or have no confidence in their shot when they miss it that badly. I thought Kawhi was tougher than that. I am nowhere near being a good ball player, but I consider myself a very good shooter. It comes naturally to me though. It's just frustrating seeing guys miss that badly when open. Missing or bricking a tough shot with pressure defense - that is another story, but getting a wide open shots, you just can't brick them as badly as Tony Allen if you want to be a go to guy. Horrible misses from Kawhi.

George Hill lost me when he air balled a wide open 3 with the game on the line against the Grizzles in game 6 of that 2011 series. Had he hit that shot, we still had a chance to win that game and force game 7, but he didn't even hit the rim.

[Venti Quattro]

Yeah..hilarious.

Don't get your ass too hurt, I just pointed out what was glaringly obvious on the play. He hedged on the Wall drive and left LMA out to die

[lofds]

Should have put Diaw in the game to settle the team down when they were throwing the ball awayEveryone was throwing it away and Boris didn't get much time. I would've liked to see it thrown to Kawhi or Aldridge in the post when we were frenetically passing it around. That would've slowed things down and been higher percentage.

We've had good success in previous games going for that.

[Mugen]

I'm honestly pretty stoked on the team thus far tbh. The ceiling is pretty damn high, pretty evident to anybody who understands basketball....

[100%duncan]

That was clearly on Kawhi. If Pop told them to switch then what did he expect from a 6'11 guy guarding a guard.

[DarrinS]

Oh well, I'm done thinking about this game. Good night.

[Ice009]

Until KL is coached to get to the rim then Spurs won't win shit, so your argument is actually worse.

If Kawhi's going to brick open shots with the game on the line that badly, then I would much rather he take those shots at the rim. Wow, those shots were hideous. I shouldn't be all over him like this and I will probably feel bad about it later today, but he can't be throwing up wide open bricks like Tony Allen if he wants to be a go-to guy.

[TheMulletMan3000]

regular season record is not going to be very good and it's understandable. just hope things click come playoff time

It gets harder in the game. Even Tim Duncan chokes sometimes.

If you're talking about being a "shooter" then watch Kawhi warm-up, he rarely ever misses.

[Kawhitstorm]

D-West is washed up & can't rebound or guard a pick-n-roll. He;s a good passer, can his the mid-range shot & battle in the post against guys his size. LMA just hasn't been in a groove & looks uncomfortable. The guys is a rhythm players so the adjustment period is affecting his offense.

[100%duncan]

Yeah it'll click alright but the 6th seed will come with that. And we're going to get fucked in the ass again if that happens.

In the past, when things got ragged, Manu understood we needed some "easy" points, so he took it to the hole and gave up his body for trips to the line. Unfortunately we don't want Manu doing that at his age - or really playing the minutes he is currently playing. Kawhi needs to learn when that is what we need and then go get it.

[da_suns_fan]

So you got spurned by him in FA and now are apparently following his games so you can jump at his mistakes? Pretty sad tbh.

Not as sad as that D!

Shooting the ball felt good ever since I was a kid. It's the easiest part of Basketball for me. Can you actually shoot? Do you play ball at all?

He still hasn't mastered the are of drawing fouls & getting to the line. When push comes the shove he's going to pull up for a jumper but he short armed them both.
