Game Thread: Spurs @ Pelicans -- Fri. (11/20) - 7:00PM CST (3:00AM Riga Time)

[bic50]

That's game. Damn

[spurtech09]

Whats the deal with that Line up?

[HarlemHeat37]

Meh, nobody has played well for the Spurs tonight, but Pop has been horrendous..

[SpurPadre]

This defense is ABSOLUTELY laughable. Warriors will run a train on this kind of shit
Dubs would've won 130-80, tbh.

[Budkin]

Pelicans celebrating like they won a championship. :lol

We were just what the doctor ordered... just like last year.

[Kikoluna]

Why is Davis acting like he won the western conference finals...lol...este vato

[keeferob25]

We were exposed BADLY tonight. No rim protection from the bench. Perimeter D is ATROCIOUS. Kawhi CANNOT create off the dribble well at all. And Pop is still a stubborn idiot.

[beirmeistr]

I can't stand yhe Spurs playing shitty on national tv

[Fireball]

I am out tbh ... see you tomorrow

[SupremeGuy]

Pelicans celebrating like they won a championship. :lolYeah that shit is getting annoying. Fucking trash team.

[Kawhitstorm]

WTF was that possession? Patty Mills dribbling like a chicken with its head cut off and then hoist a desperate rainbow brick? How is Pop letting these guys get away with this? :lol

Pop hasn't done too much coaching besides just looking pissed. Didn't even try zone defense when the guards were marching into the paint & let Ryan Anderson catch fire.

[dabom]

Pop playing two point guards the whole fourth. Wanted to Los Tbh
.

[sasaint]

I want to see Pop in the post game press conference.

Cannot wait!

[Reck]

Disgraceful perfomance.

Our team is full of fat fucks.

[TDfan2007]

This was a team loss. Nobody played well. Spurs played with no heart and executed horribly. Both of those facts are pretty disappointing...

[SpurPadre]

Dude we're 1-11. What do you expect?

Lol, they made the playoffs last season, they should know better than to act like idiots.

[Horry Hipcheck]

The White Flag Timeout

[Leetonidas]

Leonard is such a Fucking ball hog. Dude needs to try to do other shit when his shot isn't falling he looks like Kobe out there and shit. Also fuck Parker for missing at least 4 wide open layups :pctoss

[Brian Windhorst]

Nights like this are why Pop needs to give significant minutes to Kyle/Simmons over Butler tbh.

SOMEONE else has to be comfortable getting the team into its sets. Patty/Green/Kawhi/Butler can't do it

[Beaverfuzz]

NAH NAH

NAH NAH NAH NAH

HEY HEY HEY

GOODBYE!

:bobo

[spurtech09]

Why is Davis acting like he won the western conference finals...lol...este vatoThinking the same thing.....lol....

[Fireball]

We were exposed BADLY tonight. No rim protection from the bench. Perimeter D is ATROCIOUS. Kawhi CANNOT create off the dribble well at all. And Pop is still a stubborn idiot. good stuff ...

[Kawhitstorm]

Boban showing LMA how it's done

[AZK619]

Spurs got sodomized, tbh

[r0drig0lac]

Spurs is good when using pnr and ball movement, not in Kawhi iso, Parker ball and Danny "point guard"

[playbonner15]

Pop says 'Fuck it! Bring in the Boban' :lol

[Johnny RIngo]

:lol at the notion of Parker being a floor general. Getting raped by Ish Smith tonight. Shows how terrible the offense is without Manu

[SpurPadre]

Good, elbow that wannabe Curry again.

[sasaint]

Meh, nobody has played well for the Spurs tonight, but Pop has been horrendous..

Total Team Meltdown.

[spurtech09]

Refs had a good game tonight.....

[Beaverfuzz]

2-11!! Clap Clap, Clap Clap Clap

[beirmeistr]

I hope the warriors game is more competitive than this caca.

[r0drig0lac]

Pelicans feeling smell of blood

[hitmanyr2k]

Pop hasn't done too much coaching besides just looking pissed. Didn't even try zone defense when the guards were marching into the paint & let Ryan Anderson catch fire.

They could have used some old school Pop tonight. He needed to light a fire under this team. I don't understand him letting them play the kind of one on one offense they were playing. That's not their style.

[SpurPadre]

Barry saying we're fully healthy.

[Darth_Pelican]

:lmao

[Horry Hipcheck]

Anderson has 30 points. Salt in the wound tbh

[Kawhitstorm]

Simmons:lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

That kind of night :lmao Simmons

[Ron Swanson]

Fuck this shit. I'm getting drunk.

[spurtech09]

Tiago the spurs need you.....

[AZK619]

:lol at the notion of Parker being a floor general. Getting raped by Ish Smith tonight. Shows how terrible the offense is without Manu
Getting exposed by a garbage team.

[Darius Bieber]

This team sucks. Won't make the playoffs. Only reason the Spurs have this record is because they've played bullshit teams.

[weeks]

:pctoss:pctoss:pctoss:pctoss

[Kawhitstorm]

They could have used some old school Pop tonight. He needed to light a fire under this team. I don't understand him letting them play the kind of one on one offense they were playing. That's not their style.

This is one of the those games that Tim looks old & the team gets killed in the paint.

[spurtech09]

I hope the warriors game is more competitive than this caca.
who cares about the Warriors

HAHAHA look at this shit

it's their 2nd win

[SpurPadre]

Ryan better play like this the rest of the season.

[Darth_Pelican]

Fuck this shit. I'm getting drunk.

I'm already there

[Kawhitstorm]

:lol at the notion of Parker being a floor general. Getting raped by Ish Smith tonight. Shows how terrible the offense is without Manu

Patty got destroyed but the entire team was atrocious defensively. They were sleepwalking against a desperate team.

[keeferob25]

Ryan better play like this the rest of the season.

I think he leads the league in scoring off of the bench...so he's been scoring all year.

[spurtech09]

Ryan better play like this the rest of the season.
I doubt it.......

[beirmeistr]

well, at least the thunder lost also

[Kawhitstorm]

Ryan better play like this the rest of the season.

He had 30 in his previous game, why in the fuck are dumbasses assuming he's a scrub or something. It was Pop that was an idiot & let him get going in the first half. Shyt reminded me of the 2010 series against the Suns when the Suns were getting in the lane at will & torching them from outside.

[Dex]

For some reason though, as bad as Pelicans have been playing...I still smell a trap game here. Some unknown scrub is gonna go off for 25.

Ryan Anderson and Ish Smith, ladies and gentlemen.

[SpursFan86]

That was Duncan's first ever game without a rebound :depressed

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

The Spurs had 0 effort. Pop went all Chuck Daly tonight, this will show the Spurs that they can lose any given night. I wonder if there is any type of locker room drama cause the teamwork was non existent. The 2014 championship Spurs would've beaten this Spurs team by 50 points.

[sasaint]

New York Knicks 2015-style.

[SpurPadre]

He had 30 in his previous game, why in the fuck are dumbasses assuming he's a scrub or something.

The dumbass is you for looking at extremes. I never said he's a scrub. Is he 28 ppg good?

[Kawhitstorm]

Ryan Anderson and Ish Smith, ladies and gentlemen.

Ish/Anderson are having a better season than Porker/LMA dumbass

[KaiRMD1]

The worst part is Jon Barry on commentary

[Texas_Ranger]

This is just sad. Losing to this losers. Pathetic

[Ice009]

Why do shitty teams always play their best game of the season against us? God FUCKING DAMIMIT!

I know why now. I always thought it was just horrible luck or people playing out of their minds because there is no pressure on them as the Spurs are usually one of the teams to beat, but it's because the Spurs let teams do this. It's all on the Spurs. They let teams do this to them because they don't show the proper respect and don't play with fire and intensity on a consistent basis.

[sasaint]

That was Duncan's first ever game without a rebound :depressed

UNBELIEVABLE! Played 19 mins? Worn out by no rest and long road trip?

[RD2191]

The worst part is Jon Barry on commentary
Tbh

[DarrinS]

I don't know why people keep acting like Anderson is a scrub

[Kawhitstorm]

LMAO @ Jalen Rose claiming that he has never seen LMA get blocked shooting his fadeaway (shyt is urban legend level ala Kareem claiming nobody ever blocked his sky hook):

TV-pGa84de4

[Budkin]

This has trap written all over it. Hope the Spurs don't fuck around.

WTG Spurs.

[SAGirl]

I can't stand low IQ basketball. If we lose due to missed shots fine. But stupid decision after stupid decision is infuriating


Pop hasn't done too much coaching besides just looking pissed. Didn't even try zone defense when the guards were marching into the paint & let Ryan Anderson catch fire.


Ryan Anderson and Ish Smith, ladies and gentlemen.

We sucked tonight on both ends. WE won't win against good teams like this. Pop should have tried Anderson earlier on Anderson. At least 3-4 minutes, and gone to Ray when Patty was getting blown by, to give a different look to Smith. After guys get in rhythm, playing at home its too tough to turn back the tide. Sometimes Pop doesn't experiment enough for his own good, and keeps going with what doesn't work already.

[Budkin]

At least OKC and Houston lost again... but this is our current worst loss of the season. Just embarrassing.

[Kawhitstorm]

That was Duncan's first ever game without a rebound :depressed

He looked his age tonight ala when Andrew Bynum got 30 rebounds against him

[KDKSpurs24]

Ryan Anderson and Ish Smith, ladies and gentlemen.
Ryan Anderson averages 18 n 7 a game... not some random scrub

[sasaint]

I know why now. I always thought it was just horrible luck or people playing out of their minds because there is no pressure on them as the Spurs are usually one of the teams to beat, but it's because the Spurs let teams do this.

Pop always preaches "respect the game". Nobody heard the sermon tonight.

[Ice009]

Spurs also have too many players that look overweight.

That shit is not going to get it done. If you can't be in shape, give back the money and fuck off someplace else and eat all you want.

You want to be on this team - get in fucking shape. Aldridge and Diaw both look overweight. Was Aldridge always this slow running the court for the Blazers? I always thought he was faster.

[Budkin]

He does this shit every year. It's just part of his overall plan and coaching style... but damn it's frustrating.

[SAGirl]

That was Duncan's first ever game without a rebound :depressed
:wow

[SpurPadre]

I don't know why people keep acting like Anderson is a scrub

He's good no doubt but a 30 ppg scorer?

[Kawhitstorm]

Man if the Spurs lose Ginobili to any kind of serious injury they're fucked. He's really the only floor general the Spurs have.

He's the most valuable bench player in the league. Even the Warriors can get by w/o Iggy b/c they have Livingston.

[sasaint]

At least OKC and Houston lost again... but this is our current worst loss of the season. Just embarrassing.

More embarrassing for being on ESPN. Right now Elliott & Land spinning like crazy on Postgame.

[loveforthegame]

Pop is too stubborn at times. Tonight was the perfect night to mix it up.

He should have played zone when Asik/Gee/Cunningham were in the game b/c nobody on the team can stay in front of Ish. It's just like Monta Ellis get into the paint at will.

Bill Willoughby blocked Kareem's sky hook. I remember watching it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r09WtKVwaMU

[Kawhitstorm]

Why do shitty teams always play their best game of the season against us? God FUCKING DAMIMIT!

Idiot, the Spurs have been feasting on shitty teams to the tune of having the 2nd best record in the league.

[DarrinS]

He's good no doubt but a 30 ppg scorer?

I thought they said he averaged 20+

[Kawhitstorm]

Bill Willoughby blocked Kareem's sky hook. I remember watching it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r09WtKVwaMU

Wilt/Wills Reed/Walton used to swat his shyt regularly. There is a clip of washed up Wilt blocking him twice on a single possession.

EwHP04TWOps

[SpurPadre]

I'll be positive and point out that West is looking more and more comfortable with the team and is looking better on D.

[SpurPadre]

I thought they said he averaged 20+
17.6

[Kawhitstorm]

Pop is too stubborn at times. Tonight was the perfect night to mix it up.

Pop might have wanted to lose the game to give himself the right to criticize the team since they were on a 6 game losing streak. They were winning game ugly so there was a lot of material for the film session

[sasaint]

At least OKC and Houston lost again... but this is our current worst loss of the season. Just embarrassing.

Trouble is we aspire to compete with the Warriors not OKC or Houston.

[Darius Bieber]

Duncan's first game ever managing 0 rebounds.

[Budkin]

Trouble is we aspire to compete with the Warriors not OKC or Houston.

Yes but I think after the season evens out both of those teams will find their rhythms. Hell we just kickstarted the Pelicans rebound.

[Kawhitstorm]

The dumbass is you for looking at extremes. I never said he's a scrub. Is he 28 ppg good?

Idiot, he's the leading bench scorer in the league. It's not hard for him to drop 30 when he's hot.

[SpurPadre]

Idiot, he's the leading bench scorer in the league

Idiot, bench scorers don't average 30 ppg.

[Kawhitstorm]

Idiot, bench scorers don't average 30 ppg.

Idiot, if Tim/LMA were guarding Bonner he would average 15 ppg

[ducks]

Thunder lost

[SpurPadre]

Idiot, if Tim/LMA were guarding Bonner he would average 15 ppg

Now I know you're a fucking idiot with that take.:lol Bonner wouldn't average 15 ppg in a wheelchair league.

[Kawhitstorm]

Now I know you're a fucking idiot with that take.:lol

You're the stubborn idiot since you aren't convinced that Ryan Anderson could drop 30 against a shyt defense after you JUST WITNESSED him drop 30 w/o making fluke shots

[Kawhitstorm]

Thunder lost

It won't be too long before they drop out of playoff contention after Durant is declared out for the season.

[SpurPadre]

You're the stubborn idiot since you aren't convinced that Ryan Anderson could drop 30 against a shyt defense after you JUST WITNESSED him drop 30 w/o making fluke shots

And you lack reading comprehension since I've clearly pointed out he's good just not someone who should be as good as tonight for 82 games.

[Kawhitstorm]

And you lack reading comprehension since I've clearly pointed out he's good just not someone who should be as good as tonight for 82 games.

Idiot, he would average 30 if he was going up against shyt defense (If they guarded him like that in a playoff series he would average close to it). Who the fuck said he's going to average 30 against legit defense? Muphucka out here talking out of context to cover up his ass.

[SpurPadre]

Idiot, he would average 30 if he was going up against shyt defense. Who the fuck said he's going to average 30 against legit defense.

No one you stupid fuck and you're saying we're not a legit defense after this one game? Lol, I rest my case but go ahead get the final word in you dumb fuck. :lol

[BatManu20]

Watched the game at a bar with some friends. What a shit game. Ruined my meal tbh.

[Kawhitstorm]

No one you stupid fuck and you're saying we're not a legit defense after this one game? Lol, I rest my case but go ahead get the final word in you dumb fuck. :lol

[SpurPadre]

No hard feelings man, just talking shit. Let's put this loss past us. :bobo

[sasaint]

LMAO, dude was in Orlando w/ Dwight before he got traded. He signed a fat contract not a 10-day contract :lol

Steve Novak was the guy I was thinking of. Wish it had been Ryan Anderson.

[HarlemHeat37]

Thunder lost again..hopefully Clippers will, too..

[LakerHater]

Tim had Zero rebounds!?

WTF!

[urunobili]

Tim had Zero rebounds!?

WTF!
:depressed

[NASpurs]

Tim had Zero rebounds!?

WTF!

His first game without a rebound if my bball reference skillz are correct.

[LakerHater]

His first game without a rebound if my bball reference skillz are correct.

you might be right :(

WTF!

Remember the game when Andrew Bynum had 30 rebounds.....that's how old Tim looked in this game.

[ceperez]

I'll be positive and point out that West is looking more and more comfortable with the team and is looking better on D.

At least he looks to be in good shape. Aldridge just looks out of shape with absolutely no athleticism.
