Sneaky important game..Spurs need to prevent OKC from passing Clippers for the 5th seed..We can't have all bad matchups on our side of the bracket....

An opportunity for Leonard to bust out of his 3PT funk and learn how to deal better with lanky defenders siccced on him and aided by swarming help D at every move..This is going to be the play against the Spurs in the postseason: everyone but Kawhi gets to beat us..

[Darius Bieber]

Probably another embarrassing/annihilating loss.

[BillMc]

Let's get the win:flag::toast

[gambit1990]

didn't think know we're playing over there. looking forward to the game even more.

westbrook's my favorite non spur right now. well he and dirk.

if spurs lose in the POs i'll actually be rooting for okc. i like adams, taj, sabonis. would be great to see them beat the warriors.

[TheGreatYacht]

Hope Roberson takes it easy.....

[SAGirl]

Hope the guys have a good game... They still have things to work on. Kind of dismaying that this late in the season they still have a lot to work on but Kiwi needs to embrace the facilitator role if he's swarmed. Guys better get ready to make shots.

I think they will bounce back.

Should read "The Impact of Constant Double Teams on Kawhi". I'm guessing his APG have gone up but they didn't include it bc it doesn't fit the narrative of him trending down. Not an excuse, since he needs to adjust and be better at handling the double team but it's also disingenuous to act like that isnt why his numbers have dipped.

[FkLA]

Robertson is a badass defender btw. Second best wing defender after Kawhi imo. Wouldn't be opposed to bringing him home and letting Chip go to work on his shot, tbh.

Averaged 4.3 assists in both the first and last 7 games of March.

Hmm not sure about that. Clips falling to 6 would be interesting. OKC has no chance vs Houston but the Clips could potentially win that series. Would rather avoid Houston in Round 2 if possible.

[DMC]

KL will go for 40. But I would like to see KL assigned to just follow RW around even on offense to prevent him from stat padding rebounds. That would fuck his world up.

[Robz4000]

Spurs would have no chance against the Clippers in a series, even with how dysfunctional they've looked lately.

[sananspursfan21]

Tonight is going to be a pivotal game in regards to my opinion of our current Spurs team. If they can come out blazing and smoke these thunder, I can believe they're horsing around until the playoffs (like they do many seasons). If they fool around and lose or win by a last second shot, I call bull on these guys being contenders

[I. Hustle]

Off topic, I took a pic of Kyle Anderson signing autographs recently.

That seems like an overstatement. But I could sure see the Clips getting well against the Spurs.

Sad but true until proven otherwise. All depends on KL.

[bklynspursfan]

All I want to see tonight is our bigs compete with theirs. Show some freaking toughness. Seedings are already set for us, so a Loss doesn't make a difference there. I just want to see some tougher play and not let them push our guys around

[spurs10]

Let's get the win:flag::toast Wow a post about winning the game tonight! What a homer! :lol
Hopefully Beiber's right and it's another annihilating loss for the Thunderrefs!

Great post.

[Robz4000]

Thunder are also low-key playing their best ball of the season tbh. Fully expecting a loss here, but as has been said this game has no meaning; Spurs will have the second best record locked up by the end of the night regardless.

[tmtcsc]

Lol, I was just watching a pre-game show with Beadle, Chauncey Billups and Byron Scott. Billups was giving TP all sorts of grief about looking old. He said "he's probably a first ballot HOF'er, he's got some rings, but man..he's looking like me now, old man Billups"...something to that effect.

Byron Scott chimed in with "Yeah, but he's got Kawhi Leonard to pass to now..". I think he sensed Billups' words were a bit harsh and tried to lighten things up and put a positive spin on the segment.

Maybe I'm crazy but I'm fully expecting a win. OKC manhandled the Spurs last time out & if they have any pride the Spurs will want to wipe the memory of that ass-kicking they got from the Warriors a couple of days ago. That was a sad, embarrassing loss. Not because they lost, but because of how they lost. You don't give up 22 point leads at home and feel good about yourselves. The Warriors did anything they wanted on the offensive end of the court and even let David West punch the guys in the mouth. You just don't let that happen, have pride in yourself and then come out and get another ass whooping. Fuck that. I'm getting pissed just thinking about it. PUT ME IN COACH!!

[NASpurs]

crofl this offense

[Ron Swanson]

Both teams looking like dog shit.

[Robz4000]

Looking like team's have completely figured out how to shut down Kawhi and the Spurs' offense.

[Darius Bieber]

Damn this team looks like trash

[$pursDynasty]

No offense at all

[Ron Swanson]

Fuck yeah! We scored!

[NASpurs]

HOTS :wow

Parker needs to fucking retire.

[Darius Bieber]

Lol at all the delusional Spur fans that think they'll make it past the first round.

[r0drig0lac]

double team on Kawhi = spurs fucked

[FkLA]

Jesus the Pork is an embarrassment. Bring in Paddy, tbh.

[NASpurs]

The "Offseason Thread" was made super early last year, I think in the first round. I wonder if this year will beat that. Probably by game 80. :lol

[FkLA]

Why is Enrique still in the NBA?

[Darius Bieber]

Kawhi getting shut down by Roberson.. trash.

Our best playmaker is a 39 year old. We're fucked.

Grab a fucking rebound, Pau

Spurs look so defeated after their annihilation on Wednesday. This team won't win another game.

which is why I figured Pop would rest Kiwi and TP, they both look like they could use it.

[siraulo23]

Houston, Portland

which playoff team can the spurs beat tbh

[Robz4000]

Been saying it all year: the Spurs can't beat the Thunder in a series. Unfortunately, it's starting to look like they'll be hard-pressed to beat any of their potential first round opponents right now. Teams have figured out how to shut down their offense (Kawhi).

[Budkin]

Lol at all the delusional Spur fans that think they'll make it past the first round.

I know you are always over the top negative, but this doesn't really seem all that unrealistic this year.

[dabom]

Stop being a faggot. :lmao

[FkLA]

Man, Kawhi's 1-on-1 greatness was covering up just how bad the rest of the offense is. It looks like absolute dog shit now that Kawhi is seeing double teams every possession. Pretty concerning, tbh.

9-0 run in a minute :lmao

[Trill Clinton]

i can't wait for dejounte to take over. tony and patty both are trash.

[FkLA]

Too much midrange.

Not sure what that has to do with him getting doubled/trapped every single possession. His style is far from being the offense's biggest problem.

[SAGirl]

Is Murray in the doghouse?
Still injured... sadly :depressed

[Robz4000]

Also, the Spurs will be a low-end playoff team at best next year if they don't improve the PG position. Kawhi can't hide everyone.

[John Petrucci]

I really hope the Thunder don't decide to tank for the Spurs.

Russ wants that MVP far more than any seeding.

[SAGirl]

I'd like to see Simmons sometime for Ginobili frankly ...
Hopefully Simmons plays well. :toast

Simmons passed up that shot though it will count as an assist to Tony... oh well :downspin:

[$pursDynasty]

LMA should feast on Kanter and Sabonis wtfu!

Let's hope he's as selfish as some posters on here want to believe.

[midnightpulp]

Midrange is easier to defend. Westbrook, Harden have even worst supporting casts and they usually have no problem generating offense, whether through scoring or playmaking.

[RD2191]

he always says he's only about winning championships...don't quite buy it. This MVP would be far too valuable to his already strong af brand

[Darius Bieber]

LMA is trash.

[SAGirl]

Happy that Kyle played well.
I want to see Simms play well too.
Frankly Manu and Mills are concerning. One is old as heck and the other undersized as heck and his performance against last season's OKC was an alarm bell.
I suspect simms and anderson have to both play well off the bench.

[spursistan]

Yep..I'm afraid the book on how to beat is team is officially out..Actually it's been there ever since Doc employed this strategy of swarming and denying Kawhi and daring the rest to carry the day for the Spurs in 2015 series..

The lack of dynamic play makers/penetrators that would make defenses pay for collapsing and moving out of positions is choking off our offense..

Third consecutive postseasons they are going to die similar death..This shit is on the front office and the coaching staff..

[Uriel]

Pop said today the rotation is set in stone. Looks like Simmons won over Anderson.

[SAGirl]

Tony is horrnedous ... please retire Tony please.

[Barfunk]

Gasol getting cucked by Adams on the boards

[$pursDynasty]

Damn refs letting the Thunder get away with murder

[SAGirl]

Pop said today the rotation is set in stone. Looks like Simmons won over Anderson.
Nah...I
think both made it. Frankly has Tony played better than either guy? No.

[Ron Swanson]

Tony is horrnedous ... please retire Tony please.

He's not giving up $15 million.

[Canyonero]

LMAO Parker

[wildbill2u]

Not sure if Kwahi knows it is very tough to split through two defenders--but he keeps trying every game.

[NASpurs]

Russ taking a steaming shit on Parker per par.

[Darius Bieber]

Wow Spurs are the laughing stock of the league. Such a trash team.

[John Petrucci]

Isn't there going to be a lull between now and last 5 games to develop rhythm? This game doesn't mean a single damn thing to Spurs. I've only seen a couple of plays but can't say I'm surprised if we're uninspired.

[Leetonidas]

This is such a piss poor effort. Shit is painful on the eyes

[Robz4000]

:lol people who thought Gasol would be an upgrade over a Timmy even with no legs in this matchup. Can't teach toughness, which unfortunately this team desperately lacks.

[$pursDynasty]

Should have rested everyone, f' Adam Silver and ESPN.

[Budkin]

Spurs can't even hang anymore. What an embarrassment.

[Spurs da champs]

Just double team Kawhi and this team is done. lol

[DarrinS]

Well, shit

[RD2191]

Damn, WTF happened to this team?

[Spurs da champs]

Adams is a Spur killer. Dedmon needs to get back in there.

[r0drig0lac]

lmao...this is bad

[Horse]

Classic rope-a-dope

[KDKSpurs24]

Just double team Kawhi and this team is done. lol

[Budkin]

Already down 20 :lmao

[Robz4000]

Damn, WTF happened to this team?

It was never good to begin with. Kawhi playing in God mode hid a lot of the problems but he's running on fumes now.

[spursistan]

How are you not tanking to get the Spurs if you're Clippers or Thunder? :lol

[Uriel]

This team looks psychologically broken from that Warriors game.

[Strategic]

This same thunder team plays like a scared jv team against the dubs

[Russ]

Spurs should be able to avoid OKC and the Clippers. That's bigger than this game (as bad as it is).

[John Petrucci]

Just double team Kawhi and this team is done. lol

yea, he developed his mid range and 1 on 1 game nicely in offseason, but still can't make right pass when doubled. Should absolutely be his focus this upcoming offseason

[FkLA]

Midrange is easier to defend. Westbrook, Harden have even worst supporting casts and they usually have no problem generating offense, whether through scoring or playmaking.

You act like he's getting doubled in the midrange area. They're doubling/trapping him on everything. Pick and rolls and off the dribble stuff.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

This team is awful. They've been figured out before the playoffs have even begun. The good thing about losing in the first round is that it'll encourage the front office to blow up the team which they desperately need to do.

[FkLA]

For being such a fucking scrub, Danny can be a ball hog. He had a wide open Kawhi in the corner.

[Keepin' it real]

Goooooooo Spurs!!!!

[Spurs da champs]

yea, he developed his mid range and 1 on 1 game nicely in offseason, but still can't make right pass when doubled. Should absolutely be his focus this upcoming offseason
No doubt he needs improvement on his passing but LMA man is sagging off him and he cant hit the shot, what a damn shame.

[Spurs da champs]

Parker provides no offense out there either, Spurs need more 3 point shooting.

[Uriel]

This team is awful. They've been figured out before the playoffs have even begun. The good thing about losing in the first round is that it'll encourage the front office to blow up the team which they desperately need to do.I know you're trolling, but we're nor gonna lose to the fucking Grizzlies. :lol

Who is he supposed to pass it to?

[Spurs da champs]

lol at a lineup involving Parker and Gasol, horrendous defense.

With how soft this team is playing I can see the Grizz bullying them in the paint enough to pull it out. Obviously the Grizz can destroy their offense.

[midnightpulp]

You act like he's getting doubled in the midrange area. They're doubling/trapping him on everything. Pick and rolls and off the dribble stuff.

Then he needs to cut up those traps with passing.

"Spurs role players suck!"

All of them are shooting better than Kawhi this game.

I might have do a break and show the kind of spacing Harden generates when defenses collapse vs. Kawhi. That's part of the problem, too.

[Horse]

Team looks awful but why do the refs still insist on fucking us against this team since 2012?

[Robz4000]

Mills has been struggling at the line the past few weeks too.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs sucking at FTs too. This team is trash all around.

He does need to improve on reading them. I've stated as much. Too many times his passes out of them don't put the Spurs in an advantageous position.

You're losing sight of the fact that he's a SF though. What next, criticize him bc he doesn't rebound like Whiteside?

[Barfunk]

Damn

[John Petrucci]

Good God Patty let him shoot that shit

WB will have a 40 point triple double against the "2nd best team in league" leading to route. Great for MVP case

[Keepin' it real]

Why are people expecting Kawhi to pass like a guard?

Duncan was a below average passer when he entered the league. Turned himself into one of the best passing bigs ever. I'm not asking him to be Magic, but making good passes out of doubles and traps is something that shouldn't be beyond him.

[FkLA]

So stupid:lol

They're right, unfortunately. The double teams have buffled Kawhi and the Spurs.

[wildbill2u]

Just double team Kawhi and this team is done. lol

Not if Kwahi would learn to pass out of the double team instead of trying to bull through it. Needs to find his teammates who are open and give up the ball until they quit doubling on him.

[Mikeanaro]

Why are people expecting Kawhi to pass like a guard?
Because Lebron Westbrook and Harden can, you are a Spur you are supposed to pass since they play in a ¨team plan¨.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

It doesn't matter. Replace kawhi with prime Kobe and it's the same result. This roster isn't good enough.

[Spurs da champs]

Not if Kwahi would learn to pass out of the double team instead of trying to bull through it. Needs to find his teammates who are open and give up the ball until they quit doubling on him.

People need to get open too, just standing there doesn't help. Kawhi's playmaking needs work though, no denying that.

Lamarcus is ass.

You aren't asking too much as far as that goes but god damn dude he just started seeing them on every possession like two weeks ago. Give it some time before you shit on his style and ability to generate offense off of those double teams.

I was referring to you bringing up Westbrook/Harden. You can't expect him to have their handles and slashing.

[sasaint]

Ok yeah, this team sucks now. The hell happened?

The Dubs happened. The Spurs seem as demoralized as ST.

[dabom]

Spurs down 13 after that shit start. :tu

[Russ]

We're getting beat by 21 at the half (Memphis 55 - Dallas 34) in the game that really matters.

[sasaint]

With how soft this team is playing I can see the Grizz bullying them in the paint enough to pull it out. Obviously the Grizz can destroy their offense.

I just watch the games. There is no telling what to expect from this team come playoffs.

Reducing his desirability.

[Robz4000]

We're getting beat by 21 at the half (Memphis 55 - Dallas 34) in the game that really matters.

That's good news. Need the Grizz to win enough games to keep Portland at 8. That's a team that's much better than their record currently indicates. Nurkic has completely revitalized that team.

It helps being a 7 footer, Kawhi is a strong wing but he's short compared to the likes of James/Durant. He'll struggle with doubles and passing against length. I'm hoping he can make himself in a great play maker, because he's made himself into a greater scorer than anybody would have ever thought so far.

[FkLA]

The Dubs happened. The Spurs seem as demoralized as ST.

Nah, it goes beyond that. Thibs put out the blueprint. Don't allow Kawhi to go 1-on-1 and you have a chance against the Spurs. Pop and Kawhi have yet to find a consistent way to counter that.

[Ron Swanson]

That's good news. Need the Grizz to win enough games to keep Portland at 8. That's a team that's much better than their record currently indicates. Nurkic has completely revitalized that team.

Nurkic has a fractured fibula and is out at least two weeks.

[John Petrucci]

I just watch the games. There is no telling what to expect from this team come playoffs.

No kidding. The way we started against okc last postseason and then what happened? Austin Rivers before that? Can't relax for one second with this team even if went 82-0 in regular season. Can be such head cases.

[midnightpulp]

Clippers swarmed him in 2015 and OKC swarmed him last year. He's seen this before.

Look, I love him, but there's certain aspects of his game that highly worry me. It's not all the supporting cast's fault.

[Spurs da champs]

lmao the bigs keep making dumb doubles.

[SAGirl]

Tony a layup .... :tu

[Russ]

That's good news. Need the Grizz to win enough games to keep Portland at 8. That's a team that's much better than their record currently indicates. Nurkic has completely revitalized that team.

Problem is both OKC and LAC are closer to dropping below Memphis than Portland is to passing them.

Oladipo :lol

Duncan and tiago where never injured in your fucking head. That's probably why you keep thinking porker has anything left. :lmao

[SAGirl]

Reducing his desirability.
He would not be worth 15 mill or over that to the Spurs...

[John Petrucci]

Lol!!!!! shaqtin

[KDKSpurs24]

Why does Danny Green NEVER make the fucking entry pass?! Fucking garbage

[sasaint]

Why are people expecting Kawhi to pass like a guard?

Because, for better or worse, Kawhi has been thrust into the role of principal playmaker.

[Spurs da champs]

Dedmon is just neutralized by Adams.

[Darius Bieber]

I don't know why people on here making fun of Oladipo... this entire Spurs team belongs on shaqtin, they're so trash.

[Robz4000]

Nurkic has a fractured fibula and is out at least two weeks.

Oh shit, missed that. The race for eighth isn't over yet then.

[SAGirl]

Dedmon is getting paid.:toast

:lol Sean acknowledging WB purposefully going for triple double

[Darius Bieber]

Yeah this one is over. Spurs ain't winning another game.

[FkLA]

Clippers swarmed him in 2015 and OKC swarmed him last year. He's seen this before.

Look, I love him, but there's certain aspects of his game that highly worry me. It's not all the supporting cast's fault.

He hasn't seen it to this extent imo. Right now it's literally every possession for him unless he's catching and shooting. Plus he's doing a lot more off the dribble things this year. He was almost exclusively a back to the basket, post-up guy in '15.

[rastaspur]

The spurs will never be a contendor if tony Parker is getting at least 15 minutes a game. Dejounte has to drastically improve and soon or this ship is going to sink next year.

[John Petrucci]

I don't know why people on here making fun of Oladipo... this entire Spurs team belongs on shaqtin, they're so trash.

such an obvious crap troll. Do you ever actually upset anyone?

[Horse]

Thunderefs again motherfucker wasn't even shooting

[skulls138]

Duncan was a below average passer when he entered the league. Turned himself into one of the best passing bigs ever. I'm not asking him to be Magic, but making good passes out of doubles and traps is something that shouldn't be beyond him.Yeah Kawhi, youre not doing enough.

[Ron Swanson]

Kawhi's 3 pt shot is fucking gone.

[Darius Bieber]

such an obvious crap troll. Do you ever actually upset anyone?

No troll, just stating facts... are you not seeing the Spurs getting slaughtered?

[skulls138]

Kawhi's 3 pt shot is fucking gone.Say that again while I play the violin.

[Horse]

:lol Sean acknowledging WB purposefully going for triple double
Thank God you don't have to listen to that old fuck hubie

[UZER]

:lol

Pop had that LeBron look to start the 4th qtr of game 6 in 2013.

[hater]

Rkawhi has 2 daddys Roberson and Barnes


Damn

[Robz4000]

The only hope for Kawhi's three point shot is it's fatigue-related. He needs to just be sat out for a week. If his shot is just as bad after it then the Spurs are well and truly fucked.

[SAGirl]

I prefer a Tony that is aggressive, without wanting to get to the basket he doesn't help you win a game. that is the reality

[Spurs da champs]

Kawhi is missing that elevation from his shot the past 3-4 games, he's an ass FT shooter to. It has to be fatigue, to start he should just played a help defense role sagging of Roberson.

[spursistan]

This team has morphed into a toothless regular season paper tiger..

Fully on board with blowing it up : "everyone but Kawhi" is available for the right price..They need to restructure the roster and the entire playing philosophy even if it means 7th-8th seed next year..

The only good thing about this campaign is that the coming playoffs meltdown won't have any shock value..The mortal flaws of this team have been on display all season long and their unraveling have been set in motion a month before the official date..

[Robz4000]

I'd literally rather see Forbes out there at point than Tony these days. It's pretty sad how far he's fallen.

[BatManu20]

Kawhi now 0/18 from 3 in his last 3 games. Don't think that's good.

[sasaint]

Clippers swarmed him in 2015 and OKC swarmed him last year. He's seen this before.

Look, I love him, but there's certain aspects of his game that highly worry me. It's not all the supporting cast's fault.

It is primarily the shortcomings of the supporting cast. That is what has thrust Kawhi into the role of principal driver, principal 3-point shooter, principal scorer, principal playmaker... in addition the role he has as principal defender.

[Russ]

Spurs are set up to play April like a Stradivarius. :)

[DarrinS]

Kawhi now 0/18 from 3 in his last 3 games. Don't think that's good.

Yeah, bad sign.

[unleashbaynes]

God damn, Parker is fucking horrendous

[Spurs da champs]

Pop looks defeated.

[Darius Bieber]

This team is done. Even the most idiotic Spur fan knows this now.

[SAGirl]

The spurs will never be a contendor if tony Parker is getting at least 15 minutes a game. Dejounte has to drastically improve and soon or this ship is going to sink next year.
This has dawned on me this season frankly.

[wildbill2u]

Because, for better or worse, Kawhi has been thrust into the role of principal playmaker.

Well, he and POp need to get over that delusion. He can't do it. He could avoid the double teams by moving without the ball and they can draw up plays for that.

[UZER]

Pop looks defeated.


:lol

its screwed because of the focus on mid range as he had to become our Kobe. 50-40-90 isn't incredibly rare for no reason.

so rare to be on fire from both ranges...but damn 0-18? That's...concerning

[UZER]

Tony and Manu trying to stop Westbrook on the break. :lol

[boutons_deux]

white flag due soon

[SAGirl]

Pop looks defeated.
Sad to see.
I truly root for the team and Pop as much as I may criticize sometimes.
He really did not see this downfall.

[$pursDynasty]

Why is Pope leaving the starters in?

[Darius Bieber]

Utah will win on Sunday too.

[UZER]

Aldridge is just so damn soft.

[sasaint]

The spurs will never be a contendor if tony Parker is getting at least 15 minutes a game. Dejounte has to drastically improve and soon or this ship is going to sink next year.

Pop needed to force-feed Dijon this year to (possibly) prevent this ship from sinking as it is before our eyes.

[Darius Bieber]

Ah look, only 8 pages on the Game Thread now that the delusional homer Spur fans don't post since even they know this team is trash.

[FkLA]

Enrique trying to eat Adams. WTF. :lol

[sasaint]

Pop looks defeated.

Maybe he will realize he needs to retire.

[gambit1990]

Enrique trying to eat Adams. WTF. :lol
:rollin

[rastaspur]

How in the hell is that a foul on tony?

[sasaint]

Why is Pope leaving the starters in?

Punishment?

[NASpurs]

Billy Donovan taking Poop to the back of the woodshed once again :wow

[Horse]

Still trying but we're not gonna make up any ground with these fucks in the bonus and these cocksucking referees.

[james evans]

Teams have figured out that if you double and triple team Leonard, that we can't consistently hit open shots. We're screwed

[rastaspur]

Punishment?

Apparently so they can get cuckolded on national tv. This is fucking embarassing.

[Horse]

Even if they lose have to find a way to play out of this funk

[rjv]

Golden State still beating us two days later.

[rjv]

But maybe Pop is holding back!

[SAGirl]

Even if they lose have to find a way to play out of this funk
That is what I am thinking. They don't practice. Games are the time to fix their shit.
It may not get fixed... but it's worse to shut it down when they are playing poorly.

[sasaint]

its screwed because of the focus on mid range as he had to become our Kobe. 50-40-90 isn't incredibly rare for no reason.

so rare to be on fire from both ranges...but damn 0-18? That's...concerning

Kawhi will never do it unless the Spurs find a PG who can relieve Kawhi of the responsibility of being the team's principal driver, PnR guy and playmaker, PLUS some reliable 3-point shooters.

[sasaint]

But maybe Pop is holding back!

:lol

[Darius Bieber]

Look at the body language of the Spurs. Even they know they are trash.

[UZER]

But maybe Pop is holding back!

:lol CIA Pop, that's it!

[sasaint]

Apparently so they can get cuckolded on national tv. This is fucking embarassing.

Again...

[mexicanjunior]

But maybe Pop is holding back!

:lol

[SAGirl]

Also, they have to grow a spine as a team.
they will face adversity for sure in the playoffs

[Robz4000]

I'd definitely take Manu back next year provided Tony is gone and the Spurs have a new lead guard.

[SAGirl]

Gasol!

[mexicanjunior]

There was no coming back from that loss on Wednesday...Spurs will 0-fer the rest of the season...

[rastaspur]

It will never happen, but tony should be cut and his contract stretched out. Is it an ootion per cba?

In less than a week I have changed my mind. Id even be ok with bringing in derrick rose.

[$pursDynasty]

Kanter and Sabonis are the bigs in the game LMA should demand the ball and dominate

[Darius Bieber]

OKC just toying with the Spurs right now.

[sasaint]

Golden State still beating us two days later.

I know what you're saying, and the Spurs are clearly stinging from that crushing loss. BUT, the Thunder seem to have our number.

[HI-FI]

:lol CIA Pop, that's it!
:pop: "don't mock my deep state brethren, we don't make mistakes."

[gambit1990]

spurs scoring 9 unanswered points after tony sits.

[PopTheGOAT]

There was no coming back from that loss on Wednesday...Spurs will 0-fer the rest of the season...
Lmao shut the fuck up

[Ron Swanson]

Pau missed 3 goddamn point blank shots.

[$pursDynasty]

Dang Pau

[FkLA]

Pau you fucking faggot.

[sasaint]

GUHHH-sol... SMH!

[TE]

Every team goes through a funk. Nothing new with this display. They will be back playing better. I forgot how badly this board overreacts.

[Horse]

That right there for two straight games every time we have a chance to get back in it some crazy shit happens

[Darius Bieber]

Every team goes through a funk. Nothing new with this display. They will be back playing better. I forgot how badly this board overreacts.

Never saw the Warriors play this poorly.
