2017 WCF Game 3: Spurs vs GS BAN sponsored by Kawhichael's return (8 PM CT/4 AM Riga)

[Nathan89]

Can't have a 7ft old fuck with dead legs shooting 3's . His percentages are irrelevant at this moment.

[DPG21920]

This has been brutal. Tim going out. TP getting hurt. Manu going out. Luckily my majority time as an SA fan has been with that big 3 and they were incredible.

[TimDunkem]

Bertans and Dedmon should've absorbed all of Gasol's minutes. Smh

[FkLA]

Honestly, it would've been gargantuan to beat them even healthy, especially with LMA playing like this, and TP being a defensive liability in this series...

WCF was realistically this team's ceiling, I'm glad Manu took us there...

Stop it. The Spurs and LMA have their flaws, but nothing about the head-to-head match-ups suggests the Spurs stood no chance.

Even today they're hanging around with the core of the USAMNT with Simmons and 40 year old Manu leading the charge.

[timtonymanu]

Lamarcus and gasoft, man I still have ptsd on bonner blair.

Bonner and Blair would have been more useful in this series

[ace3g]

Ya. I don't get that comment. SA had success vs GS in the regular season and in the playoffs with Kawhi healthy. GS is amazing obviously but I can't anoint them with SA having success when healthy.


Again this is why Pop was so pissed about the Kawhi injury, he knew this team was developing something special in the playoffs. Warriors had no answer for Kawhi; Zaza realized that and took matters into his own "feet".

[sammy]

Co-signed.

Co-signed!

[SAGirl]

He's gotten away from it in the playoffs and idk why. It's what made him so valuable down the stretch, and he tries to start posting up and shit again.
Completely agree. Not even upset at the airball. He's passed up way too many. I think he airball es bc he wasn't even expecting to have to shoot it.

[HI-FI]

Again this is why Pop was so pissed about the Kawhi injury, he knew this team was developing something special in the playoffs. Warriors had no answer for Kawhi; Zaza realized that and too matter into his own "feet".
Sad but true.

[100%duncan]

Pau gasol, go die you fuckface :lol

[Nathan89]

Old fuck can't shoot 3's when he's tired. Pointless regular season option.

[Ron Swanson]

GTFO Pau

[Ice009]

Again quote me where I said I wanted to call you out or come fight you. That was all you and your psychotic rants and telling me you would beat me up. I don't know you in real life, I don't know how you look. What am I gonna prove beating on an unstable poster like you? And don't say you're calm with all that passive aggressive posting about how you're pissed off you can't do anything about it or whatever else pathetic shit you're saying. So keep holding on to that delusion that you're taking this as a win. You're just a pathetic forum user. Talk that shit to people who come at you in real life. I never once made any threats at you.

Mate, when you call someone a pussy or a vagina, you think no-one is going to retaliate. Some won't, some will. You instagated it. Don't act like you didn't. Go try calling someone in a rough neighbourhood a pussy/vagina and see what happens. Don't come at me with that weak ass shit. Pathetic. Stamp soft on your head. Doesn't matter if you made threats after the fact. You started it. Don't act like you didn't.

And I am calm while talking to you right now. I'm angry about the game. I can separate the two.

[bklynspursfan]

If we did that on Green it'd be a foul smh

[FkLA]

Take Gasol out, man. Get Fathead in there.

[Darius Bieber]

Pau easily my most hated Spur. Fuck him.

[ElNono]

:lmao Stop saying TP would've made a difference against this team it's stupid and I love Tony...

[GSH]

The grabbing and arm-hacking are out of fucking control.

[Quiet Strength]

Airballs a 3.. Airballs a 2... gives up an and 1

[Ice009]

what is fucking Gasol doing. fucking loser. what a soft fucking bitch. i'd like to punch that fucker in the face - just to try and get the softness out of him.

[RD2191]

Lol mills, worthless piece of shit.

[ace3g]

If Spurs were only up 2-5 pts prior to Kawhi injury, you could say it probably wouldn't be a series, but proof is in the pudding.

[spurraider21]

This has been brutal. Tim going out. TP getting hurt. Manu going out. Luckily my majority time as an SA fan has been with that big 3 and they were incredible.yeah, and luckily for me the raiders have gotten good again. yin/yang between the two

[NASpurs]

I can't wait for the reactions during the offseason when Gasoft opts in.

[SAGirl]

2 big lineup for the death.. the bad death lineup...

[Horse]

Murray is the future along with Kawhi. Fuck LA

[RD2191]

:lmao pop

[spursistan]

Take fuckin Gasol out..he is useless..

[ElNono]

Again this is why Pop was so pissed about the Kawhi injury, he knew this team was developing something special in the playoffs. Warriors had no answer for Kawhi; Zaza realized that and too matter into his own "feet".

This team needed more from the purported #2... I don't think it's fair to Kawhi to put that load over his shoulders too...

This was maybe a 6 game series with Kawhi healthy (for the Dubs), IMO anyways

[100%duncan]

Manu is probably benched already, should we turn it off bros?

[SASdynasty!]

Lol this team

[Capt Bringdown]

Pau killed us

[spursistan]

Pop :lmao..

No Manu/Bertans..

[bklynspursfan]

If Kawhi comes back.. wouldn't it be some shit. Warriors blew a 3-1 lead. If they blow a 3-0 lead? How amazing would that be

[Robz4000]

:lmao all these injuries

[TE]

Officiating in 2nd half has been terrible wow.

[SAGirl]

Just put Kyle or Davis there tbh what is this Gasol/LMA lineup?

[DPG21920]

Again this is why Pop was so pissed about the Kawhi injury, he knew this team was developing something special in the playoffs. Warriors had no answer for Kawhi; Zaza realized that and too matter into his own "feet".

Yup. It sucks. Like I said. The regular season showed some things but no one "believed" and rightfully so. Game 1 mattered and SA showed everyone the truth; SA was a top tier team that could compete with GS.

Just awful luck.

[sasaint]

We have completely lost defensive integrity now. Multiple Spurs running at a single Dub on the perimeter.

[FkLA]

@TE

If you're sitting next to any GS bandwagoners punch them in the face brah. I'll pay your bail.

[RD2191]

IDK WTF pop and rc were thinking when they built up this roster.

[DPG21920]

yeah, and luckily for me the raiders have gotten good again. yin/yang between the two

:lol I don't have anything else :cry

[Budkin]

Every time we make a run...

[sammy]

Gasoli is worthlessness! Why is he still in! Fuck you Pop! Put in Dedman, Manu, Andersons, Simmons & Bertans!

[Ice009]

Lol mills, worthless piece of shit.

I think we both want our man Cojo back right about now. The guy that sparked the turnaround in the 2014 WCF. Not some guy that hit a few shots in game 5 when both Manu and Kawhi brought us back in that game.

Gasol and these other guys killed us. Manu and Simmons played hard.

Gasol, Aldridge, Mills, and even Green. Most of those other guys sucked.

[cd98]

Well at least it's not losing by 50.

[TimDunkem]

Danny coming down gimpy too.

We need athletes with size and heart. Not awkward, bow-legged, one-trick ponies.

[timtonymanu]

And I am calm while talking to you right now. I'm angry about the game. I can separate the two.

And you acting act me not retaliating and not coming back at you after you called me out is me being soft. I'm just not a loser who has to settle online debates. I called you a pussy and will stick to it and move on. I don't need internet fights to validate anything. That's all on you. Lol @ comparing real life people attacking you vs internet wars. You've only shown me how much of a loser and unstable person you are.

[Robz4000]

yeah, and luckily for me the raiders have gotten good again. yin/yang between the two

Lucky you. I got nothing outside the Spurs now :lol

[kuato]

Game and series done, congratulations to Warriors

[TheRemix]

Im going down with the ship but this is just too hard to watch

[DPG21920]

:lmao Stop saying TP would've made a difference against this team it's stupid and I love Tony...

TP in the playoffs: PER 20

Manu? 10.

[skin27]

Pop resting in the regular season is useless..players still get injured in the playoffs!! Fuck

[DPG21920]

Lol mills, worthless piece of shit.

:wow finally

[313]

:lmao popThat third Quarter line up was working too well, he's ready for vacation :lol

[FkLA]

Officiating in 2nd half has been terrible wow.


@TE

If you're sitting next to any GS bandwagoners punch them in the face brah. I'll pay your bail.

[Nathan89]

Danny coming down gimpy too.

We need athletes with size and heart. Not awkward, bow-legged, one-trick ponies.

Danny Green isn't the problem.

[sammy]

We had it down to 9 & these soft.Gasol can't defend shit!

[SAGirl]

We have completely lost defensive integrity now. Multiple Spurs running at a single Dub on the perimeter.
I am a fan of course, but they looked their best on D with either Kyle or Davis as the second "big"
lMA/Pau together is horrible.
the lineup "of death" but for suicide for the Spurs.

[NASpurs]

IDK WTF pop and rc were thinking when they built up this roster.

Probably making decisions while drunk off their asses. Would it surprise you?

[Ditty]

Pop is just shoving the Gasol & Aldridge duo down our throats that isn't working.

[DPG21920]

This team needed more from the purported #2... I don't think it's fair to Kawhi to put that load over his shoulders too...

This was maybe a 6 game series with Kawhi healthy (for the Dubs), IMO anyways

Weren't you the one asking for "more" from Kawhi in comparison to Tim? Now it's not fair?

[Nathan89]

Patty's TS% tho:lmao

[cd98]

I can't say LMA/Gasol didn't help in this year's run as they both had their moments against the Rockets and Griz, but they can't seem to do anything versus GS.

[FkLA]

If Spurs were only up 2-5 pts prior to Kawhi injury, you could say it probably wouldn't be a series, but proof is in the pudding.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DAUUmS9V0AAlvr_.jpg:large

Keep preaching, my man. Keep preaching. :tu

[100%duncan]

:lol I don't have anything else :cry

Federer won't play until Wimbledon.

Lebron is all I have right now. :cry

[noles1983]

NBA - Where never playing against a healthy team happens.

[ducks]

Game and series done, congratulations to Warriors

I will not

[313]

Manu is probably benched already, should we turn it off bros?yep

[Ice009]

Again this is why Pop was so pissed about the Kawhi injury, he knew this team was developing something special in the playoffs. Warriors had no answer for Kawhi; Zaza realized that and too matter into his own "feet".

Exactly. That is why I was so mad after game one - I even posted those thoughts here after that game. After Pop's rant the next day, I knew he felt the exact same way as me.

[cd98]

Brown showing mercy by pulling Curry before he checked in.

[RD2191]

:wow finally

Huh? I've hated Mills for years. I took on the entire forum once when I was the only one that called him out for being an overrated chucker.

[Capt Bringdown]

Yup. It sucks. Like I said. The regular season showed some things but no one "believed" and rightfully so. Game 1 mattered and SA showed everyone the truth; SA was a top tier team that could compete with GS.

Just awful luck.

Speaking of bad luck, LMA and Pau. Pretty bad luck that both of their games deserted them, although it wasn't a surprise given the regular season.
If one of them was able to come through, things might be very different.

[TDomination]

Pau singlehandedly killed this team.

Gave warriors 2 points
goes up for a shot he has no business shooting when he's got draymond draped all over him
were down 8 and with some momentum and he goes and shoots an air ball.

Absolutely pathetic

[noles1983]

Brown showing mercy by pulling Curry before he checked in.

Wish he left him in, more chance of an injury

[313]

Patty's TS% tho:lmao:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Ron Swanson]

Dedmon getting garbage minutes. Thanks, Pop.

[DPG21920]

Also, no one is saying TP would have added wins vs this GS team especially without Kawhi. However, it's obvious the gulf in Mills vs TP for running an offense.

So dishonest to argue "TP would not have mattered" in that context.

[bklynspursfan]

Green yelling on a rebound lmao. What a clown

[DPG21920]

Huh? I've hated Mills for years. I took on the entire forum once when I was the only one that called him out for being an overrated chucker.

You seemed to hate TP more than Mills. Unless I'm wrong...Tp was not great in the regular season, but that didn't change Mills abilities.

[noles1983]

They couldnt even nut up for one game beta bitches.

[apalisoc_9]

Mills has been lowkey trash.

[testies]

Gasoft has to be like -35 this game or something

[Ice009]

Airballs a 3.. Airballs a 2... gives up an and 1

can the Spurs force Gasol to opt out by threatening to trade him? Can they say, look if you don't opt out, we're going to trade you. So if you want to choose where you play, please opt out.

I know it's an asshole thing to do, but Kawhi can't have a player like him taking up that much cap space.

[spursistan]

The Pay Paddy Krew :lmao..

[Ron Swanson]

JVG is retarded

[SilverSpur]

I hate Dreymond Green. Damn mouth breather never just his mouth.

[bklynspursfan]

Also, no one is saying TP would have added wins vs this GS team especially without Kawhi. However, it's obvious the gulf in Mills vs TP for running an offense.

So dishonest to argue "TP would not have mattered" in that context.

I think we hang on to game 1 for sure if TP is there. Their ball pressure wouldn't have bothered him as much as it did the others

[DPG21920]

Speaking of bad luck, LMA and Pau. Pretty bad luck that both of their games deserted them, although it wasn't a surprise given the regular season.
If one of them was able to come through, things might be very different.

Spurs got to WCF with them. GM1 LMA (with Kawhi) was good. Just things unraveled with the brutal blow of Kawhi going down and no PG to run an offense without him.

[Uriel]

If Spurs were only up 2-5 pts prior to Kawhi injury, you could say it probably wouldn't be a series, but proof is in the pudding.

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/DAUUmS9V0AAlvr_.jpg:large
A painful, painful reminder of what-could-have-been.

[DarrinS]

Season over.

[Spurtacular]

Green hit twice on that drive. Ref: "That was all ball."

[tholdren]

Exactly. That is why I was so mad after game one - I even posted those thoughts here after that game. After Pop's rant the next day, I knew he felt the exact same way as me.

Stfu. Pop is an idiot and so are you

[DPG21920]

I think we hang on to game 1 for sure if TP is there. Their ball pressure wouldn't have bothered him as much as it did the others

I agree but with Kawhi not playing this many games it doesnt matter. Still, the point remains that arguing TP would not have made a difference is grossly intellectually dishonest.

[testies]

let bertans free

[palangi]

can the Spurs force Gasol to opt out by threatening to trade him? Can they say, look if you don't opt out, we're going to trade you. So if you want to choose where you play, please opt out.

I know it's an asshole thing to do, but Kawhi can't have a player like him taking up that much cap space.

He's needs to opt out. LMA, Green, and KA need to be traded.

[TimDunkem]

Danny Green isn't the problem.
Didn't say that. But he is part of a bigger issue.

[SAGirl]

Pop right now doing his homework to see who he keeps in the team in the summer I am thinking.
I can't make sense if his lineups in the 4th Q

[ElNono]

TP in the playoffs: PER 20

Manu? 10.

:lol what does that has to do with the Dubs?

Manu was also 8-4 in this playoffs until this series, TP 4-3 when he went down...

[Robz4000]

Dedmon playing like a man amongst boys.

[Ice009]

If Kawhi comes back.. wouldn't it be some shit. Warriors blew a 3-1 lead. If they blow a 3-0 lead? How amazing would that be

I like to dream as much as anyone, but I don't know about that one, man. I admire that positivity of yours, though. A little glimmer of hope is a good thing, and you're trying to provide it.

[bklynspursfan]

I agree but with Kawhi not playing this many games it doesnt matter. Still, the point remains that arguing TP would not have made a difference is grossly intellectually dishonest.

Agreed

[FkLA]

Not a fan of Pop giving up already. What are you saving them for?

[spurraider21]

Mills has been lowkey trash.
:lmao

[emanueldavidginobili]

So disrespectful possibly the second to last game at home in Manu's career and pop put in Forbes

[Capt Bringdown]

Can Cleveland beat these creeps?
Durant kinda changes everything.

[bklynspursfan]

I like to dream as much as anyone, but I don't know about that one, man. I admire that positivity of yours, though. A little glimmer of hope is a good thing. And you're trying to provide it.

I know there's like a 0.000000000001% chance of that happening lol

I'm just living in the land of happy hypotheticals

[TimDunkem]

Dedmon immediately produces when he enters the game...shocker!

Add Dedmon to the list of guys who only got minutes when it was too late.

[GSH]

This team needed more from the purported #2... I don't think it's fair to Kawhi to put that load over his shoulders too...

This was maybe a 6 game series with Kawhi healthy (for the Dubs), IMO anyways


The closest the Spurs have had to a #2 is Simmons. Aldridge isn't up to leading a team. But the way he's played, he really wouldn't have added that much. Kawhi would have had to be a giant to carry that much load.

I disagree with you about Tony, though. The way he was playing right before he got hurt, he would have been an improvement. Not enough of an improvement without Kawhi. But if Kawhi had stayed up, Tony would have been a plus.

[RD2191]

Man, the dubs are some insufferable faggots.

[sasaint]

Dedmon getting garbage minutes. Thanks, Pop.

Yeah, but so are Curry, Durant and Draymond. :lol

[bklynspursfan]

So disrespectful possibly the second to last game at home in Manu's career and pop put in Forbes

Would u prefer Manu plays and gets hurt and doesn't play in possibly his last home game?

[007nites]

Not a fan of Pop giving up already. What are you saving them for?

Next season. Need that rest.

[Capt Bringdown]

Draymond is entirely a league created "star." He fouls on every possession.

[timtonymanu]

I know there's like a 0.000000000001% chance of that happening lol

I'm just living in the land of happy hypotheticals

Good fan. I can't have the same mentality because I get my hopes up high too much.

[ElNono]

There's nothing intellectually dishonest to saying TP wouldn't have made an iota of difference against this team. He's just never been very good against them, and his defensive deficiencies are well documented.

I'm pretty sure you can find a lot of posters that agree with that, I don't think they're intellectually dishonest at all...

[Arcadian]

Spurs are faggots

[tholdren]

Pop right now doing his homework to see who he keeps in the team in the summer I am thinking.
I can't make sense if his lineups in the 4th Q

Dumb

[bic50]

Can the Spurs just forfeit game 4?

[GSH]

This team needed more from the purported #2... I don't think it's fair to Kawhi to put that load over his shoulders too...

This was maybe a 6 game series with Kawhi healthy (for the Dubs), IMO anyways

[313]

Why does Pop hate outspoken black men like Dedmon?

[Ice009]

Just shows you how bad Mills is when the Tony Parker we had in the regular season could have been superior to him in this series, let alone the way TP played in the playoffs.

[boutons_deux]

zaza mvp

[r0drig0lac]

stupid Pop

[313]

Not a fan of Pop giving up already. What are you saving them for?Cancun

Pop has conceded enough games this postseason for me not to be surprised anymore

[Spurtacular]

Livingston not called for extending the arm to clear space.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Would u prefer Manu plays and gets hurt and doesn't play in possibly his last home game?
For fucks sake there's 5 minutes if that happens so be it. Resting people does nothing as you can see.

[Nathan89]

Playing that slow old fuck over Dedmon:lmao

[Ice009]

I know there's like a 0.000000000001% chance of that happening lol

I'm just living in the land of happy hypotheticals

I'm going to get on that train. I hope Kawhi can come back for game 4. Take it one game at a time. One game at a time. The question is, will Pop shut him down for the rest of the series.

[ElNono]

The closest the Spurs have had to a #2 is Simmons. Aldridge isn't up to leading a team. But the way he's played, he really wouldn't have added that much. Kawhi would have had to be a giant to carry that much load.

I disagree with you about Tony, though. The way he was playing right before he got hurt, he would have been an improvement. Not enough of an improvement without Kawhi. But if Kawhi had stayed up, Tony would have been a plus.

I'm simply stating that the difference maker should've been in a much higher capacity Kawhi and LMA.... especially the latter.

I'm as surprised with Manu's play this series overall as I am with Tony in the first round... but they're not the difference makers on this team. Manu at least was able to bail LMA once with that legendary block, but really, the disappointment in LMA should be major....

[tholdren]

Cancun

Pop has conceded enough games this postseason for me not to be surprised anymore

Hes a giant douche

[DPG21920]

:lol what does that has to do with the Dubs?

Manu was also 8-4 in this playoffs until this series, TP 4-3 when he went down...

So that means Manu played better? Use your brain.

[DarrinS]

I'm going to get on that train. I hope Kawhi can come back for game 4. Take it one game at a time. One game at a time. The question is, will Pop shut him down for the rest of the series.

It's over

[bklynspursfan]

For fucks sake there's 5 minutes if that happens so be it. Resting people does nothing as you can see.

He's not resting. At this point Manu is a starter like player. You take your best guys out when the games out of reach. The games out of reach

[polandprzem]

Just shows you how bad Mills is when the Tony Parker we had in the regular season could have been superior to him in this series, let alone the way TP played in the playoffs.

Patty is better of the bench tbh. Not that much heavy lifting and playing behind TP - less pressure

[Nathan89]

Draymond is entirely a league created "star." He fouls on every possession.

His fouls per minute dropped off a cliff when GSW became relevant in 2015.

[ducks]

There's nothing intellectually dishonest to saying TP wouldn't have made an iota of difference against this team. He's just never been very good against them, and his defensive deficiencies are well documented.

I'm pretty sure you can find a lot of posters that agree with that, I don't think they're intellectually dishonest at all...
Dude was awesome this playoffs minus one game
He would have set up players

[ElNono]

So that means Manu played better? Use your brain.

I didn't say Manu played better. I said Manu played really well, especially since TP went down. I don't think that's inaccurate at all.

He's the main reason we reached the WCF once Kawhi went down against Houston...

[DPG21920]

There's nothing intellectually dishonest to saying TP wouldn't have made an iota of difference against this team. He's just never been very good against them, and his defensive deficiencies are well documented.

I'm pretty sure you can find a lot of posters that agree with that, I don't think they're intellectually dishonest at all...

It's almost universal that TP vs Mills is better. SA still loses without Kawhi but SA is better with TP vs Mills. Sorry.

[SilverSpur]

We need jumpers, players that can block shots and out rebound other players.

[bklynspursfan]

I'm going to get on that train. I hope Kawhi can come back for game 4. Take it one game at a time. One game at a time. The question is, will Pop shut him down for the rest of the series.

Yea.. it sucks. We've had a 20+ lead on these guys 3x this season when healthy.

All that matters is if Kawhi is playing. He'd have a full week off at this point. Hope so man. 1 game at a time

[Ice009]

Draymond is entirely a league created "star." He fouls on every possession.

As I said to a friend of mine a few days ago, if Kawhi was allowed to play that kind of physical defense with fouls not being called, he'd be so far ahead of Green as defensive player of the year, it wouldn't be fair. Kawhi's already ahead of him as a defender, but if he was allowed to foul and get away with what Draymond does, then Kawhi would be in another universe defensively.

[DPG21920]

I'm simply stating that the difference maker should've been in a much higher capacity Kawhi and LMA.... especially the latter.

I'm as surprised with Manu's play this series overall as I am with Tony in the first round... but they're not the difference makers on this team. Manu at least was able to bail LMA once with that legendary block, but really, the disappointment in LMA should be major....

You just got called out again. You're a smart man but you have been a complete a hole these playoffs :lol

[ElNono]

Dude was awesome this playoffs minus one game
He would have set up players

I didn't say he was not. Against Memphis. This is not a good matchup for him.

Without Kawhi and LMA being a cancer, it doesn't really matter IMO

[Spurtacular]

Federer won't play until Wimbledon.

Lebron is all I have right now. :cry

That reminds me, I think I got him at 18 to 1 if i havent lost the ticket.

[playbonner15]

Playing that slow old fuck over Dedmon:lmao
This is Pop every recent playoffs :lol

[sammy]

Fuck you Pop! If only you started Dedman we had a chance at least he can defend & rebound compared to Softness Gasol!

[bklynspursfan]

Good fan. I can't have the same mentality because I get my hopes up high too much.

Me too. Just need to see if Kawhi plays next game. Reeealy hope he does

[DPG21920]

120 points given up. Man.

[SAGirl]

Patty's TS% tho:lmao
He was terrible all game. Needs to get paid elsewhere.

[ElNono]

You just got called out again. You're a smart man but you have been a complete a hole these playoffs :lol

I haven't. I've been complimented by my takes, even by you when I called Tony was going to outscore Conley :lol

People confuse TP hate with just being knowledgeable about basketball... there's no such thing...

[dav4463]

Spurs with a healthy Parker and Leonard would have had a good chance to win this series. Would love to see how the series with an injured Curry and Durant would've went!

[FkLA]

So that means Manu played better? Use your brain.

Why are you insistent on making it about TP vs Paddy or Manu?

Seriously, we just got robbed of a potentially great series win by a fucking scrub on the opposing team and you're here bringing down our own players smh.

[MVPCues]

Pop right now doing his homework to see who he keeps in the team in the summer I am thinking.
I can't make sense if his lineups in the 4th Q

That would be the popular thought, but I can't imagine Pop et al don't know who they want to keep. If they don't and the last 8 minutes of this game is an audition, Pop has not been paying attention.

[Spurtacular]

Geez, GS allowed to foul in the fucking backcourt.

[sasaint]

Can the Spurs just forfeit game 4?

Heck no! I want to see some of our young guys play more at this level.

[DPG21920]

This has been so frustrating. First season without Tim and what a great season even if it was not as dominate as we are "used to". Spurs had truly a great team and were robbed with injuries.

I'm proud of them but sad knowing Tim is gone, Manu looks done and TP looks done to with this injury. Going to be an interesting off season and whether SA goes big now or waits until next year where contracts naturally fall off.

[Ice009]

Patty is better of the bench tbh. Not that much heavy lifting and playing behind TP - less pressure

I might start a thread on it, but I just don't think people are remembering things correctly. People think Mills was great in 2014 playoffs - he wasn't. He wasn't anything better than the 8th or 9th man. He had a great game 5 of the finals after Manu and Kawhi brought us back into that game, but he didn't do too great in those playoffs up until game 3 of the finals where he started playing decent. I thought Cory was much better in the first 3 rounds than Mills was.

[FkLA]

Just the third team to start off 11-0! What a glorious, all-time great team!

[DPG21920]

I haven't. I've been complimented by my takes, even by you when I called Tony was going to outscore Conley :lol

People confuse TP hate with just being knowledgeable about basketball... there's no such thing...

Your TP vs Conley take was GOAT. But you have been on some sort of terror with the Manu takes despite it not being reasonable. I get it. I love Manu too. And I'm pissed about the way this ended.

[DPG21920]

Why are you insistent on making it about TP vs Paddy or Manu?

Seriously, we just got robbed of a potentially great series win by a fucking scrub on the opposing team and you're here bringing down our own players smh.

Nah. It's a very specific rebuttal to a very specific argument.

[MVPCues]

Still no report on Lee, unless I missed it.

[ViceCity86]

Play Murray 40 minutes next game. What's the point playing Mills so much when he's the worst player in this series.

[Robz4000]

Depressing that the Spurs are going to lose several of their better players in favor of keeping awful players like Gasol.

[RD2191]

Man, Zaza really screwed us. Fukin asshole.

[DPG21920]

Also, this forum all year sh*t on TP and that is bullsh*t in my book. You especially. Now that Mills "had his chance" you want to cry foul? You can kiss someone's a** IMO.

[DMC]

When David Lee went down the game was tied. After that Spurs give up almost 20 points. David Lee was the secret. GOAT imo.

[DPG21920]

Man, POP was pissed and hurt.

[Ice009]

Play Murray 40 minutes next game. What's the point playing Mills so much when he's the worst player in this series.

No idea, but Mills has killed his own contract. I don't want him back at all. I'm worried teams won't want to pay for him after seeing this, and that the Spurs are going to be able to get him for a cheaper contract. I didn't want that. I was hoping that he was gone. I was on the fence with George Hill, but for anywhere near the same money, I'd take George Hill without even a second thought about it.

[ElNono]

Your TP vs Conley take was GOAT. But you have been on some sort of terror with the Manu takes despite it not being reasonable. I get it. I love Manu too. And I'm pissed about the way this ended.

I haven't. I've said he played bad when he did, and he plays well when he does. Obviously, I can't expect 20 PPG games from Manu at this point and in his limited mins, but he's been basically the best Spurs anytime Kawhi has gone down, which is high praise (and disappointing too, because LMA was supposed to be that guy).

It's just like expecting Tony to be the fast dude in the lane or a defensive workhorse... (latter applies to Patty too). It's not realistic at this point, it's not a hit on him...

[FkLA]

Nah. It's a very specific rebuttal to a very specific argument.

Time and place. This feels like a funeral for the team and you insist of having those arguments. :td

[Ice009]

Man, POP was pissed and hurt.

[Capt Bringdown]

Before his postseason was cut short by injury, TP was rounding into form and playing with veteran passion and elan ala Manu.
TP would have played great against GS, and been a big plus for us.
-Sorted

[DPG21920]

Why did you get mad when I said the same thing, tbh? :lol

Because you were (in my eyes) comparing Manu to him. Manu has been injured many times. Manu has had a bad playoffs but you gave him all sorts of credit. That's why. Im not killing TP but that injury is rough.

[playbonner15]

Man, POP was pissed and hurt.
Why? Because he remembered there are better options than Aldridge and Gasoft? :lol

[sasaint]

Me too. Just need to see if Kawhi plays next game. Reeealy hope he does

Meh. We aren't digging out of this hole. I kind of hope the medicos give Pop a good excuse to keep him out.

[Darius Bieber]

To me it was mind boggling when ppl were saying Patty should start ahead of TP when TP clearly had his best season as a playmaker.
Patty is really great off the ball that's why him and TP combo could be effective but overall IDK about next season


What a waste of a season tbh- TP hurt, Leo hurt, now Lee as well...

[Emperor]

Murray/Butler/Kawhi/Ibaka/Dedmon. That's my dream line up for next season.

I think TP was saving himself for the playoffs, unfortunately his body had other plans. He obviously can't handle the grind of a 82 game season and a deep playoff run anymore. To be fair thought the dude has played a shitload of basketball in his career.

[DPG21920]

Lmao I told you idiots the Spurs were getting swept. Where are the pathetic homers like Cry Havoc now???

Shhh girl.

[SAGirl]

There's nothing intellectually dishonest to saying TP wouldn't have made an iota of difference against this team. He's just never been very good against them, and his defensive deficiencies are well documented.

I'm pretty sure you can find a lot of posters that agree with that, I don't think they're intellectually dishonest at all...
He would have been better than Paddy this series though ...

[DMC]

Agreed. Realistically, I didn't have them winning 60 games, and WCF was certainly the ceiling... can't be mad, tbh

[SAGirl]

I'm simply stating that the difference maker should've been in a much higher capacity Kawhi and LMA.... especially the latter.

I'm as surprised with Manu's play this series overall as I am with Tony in the first round... but they're not the difference makers on this team. Manu at least was able to bail LMA once with that legendary block, but really, the disappointment in LMA should be major....
You have that last part right. They also play better without him which is alarming. Not sure what you do with Pau and Lamarcus combo.

[FkLA]

Yea. I remember in 2013 they put Klay on Parker and he also struggled the first couple games. The size bothered him until he adjusted and started going left and using screens a bit more.

They should have someone else handle the ball, let Patty run through multiple screens and try and get him free.

[FkLA]

F*ck you tbh :lol

You sh*t on him and now you cry foul. You can kiss some serious a** in my book. You hated on a legend and you showed a series lack of foresight.

His postseason resurgence was great but if you think that people that didn't expect it lacked foresight then you are just a fanboy. He had looked done for years. And yeah, I've never been a big fan of his but if he was healthy I wouldn't fault him for what's transpired in these WCFs. That's just stupid.

[DMC]

For 20 years the Spurs have been the resting place for soon to retire ex-decent NBA players, and we were able to get by with them because we had the big 3 to lean on and just need specialists for role players who had some poise under pressure and didn't want the entire payroll for themselves, accepting a reduced role from their career norm. Now we don't have a big 3. We have a big 1 and a big ?. You cannot build the Tim/Tony/Manu dynamic again. You have to try to bring real talent into SA if you want to compete - but first PATFO needs to decide if they are serious about competing for a title. We'll know in the off season, if the Spurs stand pat with the guys that are in a downward spiral or if they go hard after players like Ibaka, Butler and Chris Paul. I don't know that all three of those would matter, but it would make me feel that the Spurs haven't accepted their mediocre purgatory.

Before this year, you could rely on the big 3 to pull us back into the fray and make the playoffs. If this team plays the right way they'll make the playoffs again, because there's too little talent on too many teams so the league is top heavy with talent - pretty big gap between the haves and have nots. It's notable that the last 3 years, the two most competitive teams don't even have good coaches, just guys who basically walked in on day one and had a playoff level team. That goes to show that great coaching cannot make up the gap in talent, most of the time. So we need talent.

[timtonymanu]

Honestly this makes me excited for the offseason/next year. Nothing is better than a motivated, angry Pop. He's definitely still pissed about the Zaza thing and maybe will start "caring a little more" next year. Add to that Kawhichael being even better next season and the continued growth and development of Murray and Bertans.

But if Spurs stand pat, then I have less hope.

Agree mostly but SA is in the WCF and was whopping GS before the injury. Would they have won? Not sure. But they were right there we know that.

Sure, but they were in a pinch. Unfortunately the guard rotation was the gamble/weak spot and TP got hurt, Kawhi got hurt and there was not much of a choice.

Manu was too old and not playing well enough to run him out there. Murray had bright spots but that is risky. Just came up empty on the "guard gamble".

But if Spurs stand pat, then I have less hope.

I feel like the Spurs will go after one or two players, but they want to keep LMA. I think Pau leaves on his own, maybe ends up somewhere like Houston or riding the bench in Cleveland or GS. I think Mills gets a good offer elsewhere, maybe Detroit since they seem to like our ex-players. I think Simmons gets an offer from SA but not a lot, because he's good when no one else is but he's been playing long enough to be better. I don't think he's going to get much better, if any. He's 27 already. I cannot see Pop investing much in him. Davis looked pretty good even if he didn't his his shots this game. He can put the ball on the floor and has some moves, and we know he can shoot. I think Manu comes back, but maybe not. You never know with that guy. Tony will try to return, and it will be ugly as hell. He's too egotistical I think to just walk away from the game. You need that in a good PG though.

I'm more interested in Kawhi than the rest. I want to see if he can fully recover, hope his ankle isn't made of glass.

[DMC]

Yea.. it is what it is. This will be our season of what could've been.

[Ice009]

TP's had some monstrous games against the Warriors and Curry before. I was worried about him matching up defensively, but when he's healthy, he's been able to stay with Curry. I thought he would be OK on offense, just the defense I was worried about.

[DPG21920]

He's a cherry picker, just tries to be a good troll but doesn't understand that either. Now he's stuck between being a contributor and a troll, not a good look.

You aren't alone. LM did many good things even if he didn't live up to expectations or his money. SA is still damn good with him when healthy.

But if he is traded I am fine too.

[FkLA]

Naw - your problem and lack of foresight was not thinking TP was done based on regular season, but not knowing basketball enough to understand that Mills was not a starter.

That's stupid too. After the TP injury, they were able to go on to win a WCSF series with Paddy starting.

He won't ever be as good as prime TP was and he will never have TP's skillset. But you don't have to be a TP type player to be a starter. It's the same bullshit argument people used to make against Hill not being a PG. You don't have to be an elite penetrator to be a PG. His skillset is shooting/providing spacing. Obviously that skillset isn't going to be as useful without a Top 2 player in the world in there.

[Ice009]

I think Aldridge deserves a second chance. I know I am solo on this :-/.

He's had a second chance. He came into camp out of shape for the second time in a row. No. No fucking way does he get another chance. Do you not remember the story when there were rumours of him being traded before the season started? There was a trainer or someone that said he was working out with TD and he said to TD I don't know how you're able to do this, and TD told him you've got to do this if you want to keep playing at a high level the older you get, and Aldridge said something like "nah, I'm done" and walked off.

He didn't prepare himself for the season and this is why he is now getting humiliated. He didn't work hard enough to prepare himself. I have no sympathy for him at all, let alone wanting to give him a second chance.

I might give him half a chance if he comes into camp in the best shape of his life next off-season, but if he still doesn't perform, I'd trade him very early in the season.

[DPG21920]

Hill plays 100x the defense of Mills. He also has wayyyyyyy better command of an offense and can finish without being assisted like Mills (look up his numbers on his FG assisted vs not).

Yeah, no shit they had Kawhi. Paddy is a role player and they are more valuable when they have guys like Kawhi to play off of. They can be starters too. Criticize him when he falters alongside Kawhi all you want. That wasn't the case today.

Hill's defense was way overrated and he couldn't run an offense to save his life just a few short years ago according to ST. Needed Manu by his side during that '10 run.

[DMC]

I think Klay can score points faster than Kawhi. I've said plenty that Kawhi is a much better player than Klay. If the Spurs had Steph and KD, I doubt Kawhi would be relied on as a primary scorer even though he's fully capable. He wasn't relied on that way until Tim retired. So do you want to put some money down on my weight or did your concha get the best of you again?

That's what I thought.

If you had any money and any confidence in your take you'd put some on it. I see you keep avoiding that.

:lol pussy

That's homerism talking. It's the same way people put Kobe in the top 5 all time over at LG.com. Kawhi is probably the best defender in the league, still. He's not even close to being the best offensive player in the league. Klay is a much better offensive player than Kawhi, right now. That could change based on KL's work ethic and the amazing results he gets from his effort, but right now, he's too inconsistent to be considered a great offensive player. He's good, no doubt, but Klay can carry a team on offense. KL cannot. He can do well some times, but he can never do Klay level good.


But you're a Bernie guy. It's understandable you'd be easily misled.


Now go ahead and run, fat bitch.

Where's Danny's moment last year in the 2nd round? Hell, where's Kawhi's?

Kawhi 2015-2016 Playoffs PPG 22.3

Klay 2015-2016 Playoffs PPG 24.3 (less than 1ppg fewer than the MVP Steph)

:lol Kawhi getting beat by a role player.
:lol Role players averaging 24ppg in the playoffs
:lol "Danny Green" who averaged 9.1ppg

Surely a role player like Klay shouldn't carry his team to the Finals while Kawhi's team was done for the year already because Kawhi didn't make enough non-assisted plays.

These shit takes by folks like you (:lol Danny Green) are why no one takes you serious in the basketball discussions. Your hyperbole is out of control, irrational and whimsical.

I'll put $5 on it. Let's do it, fat ass.

That's about what your take is worth, and what it's worth to you.

I'll put 5K on it.

You're overrated as a poster tbh

:lol That proves he's a much better offensive player than Kawhi, how?

[BillMc]

Injuries have decided Spurs' seasons as much as the opponent since the last championship.

2015 Splitter and Tony
2016 Timmy
2017 Kawhi and Tony (and now Lee)

That's about what your take is worth, and what it's worth to you.

I'll put 5K on it.

But I'm a dirt poor be@ner, remember? All I have is $5.

Why would you raise it out of my price range unless you have fat rolls to hide?

Kawhi lost to the team that he beasted on. He stepped up against the Rockets (steph was out) and brought the Warriors back from at 3-1 deficit against the Thunder. He's the reason Durant is in OKC. If the Warriors lose to OKC, Durant probably stays in OKC. Kawhi didn't do that. If Kawhi is so great (in December 2016) why wasn't he great in the playoffs? Why was Klay, if Klay is basically Danny Green?

You cannot argue with the results of each person's outputs, their career totals and the fact they came into the league at the same time. You want to pick a specific time window (usually a moving target, the most recent good game for example) and compare to Klay's worst performances even though Klay is a 3rd option at best. You seem to think Klay is a 3rd option because he sucks, but he did all the things I mentioned in the quoted post. Sucky players don't prove themselves in the playoffs, and you cannot dismiss his results with the wave of a virtual hand while forgiving Kawhi's failure to beat the Thunder in the second round of the same playoffs.

"But Kawhi wasn't the 1st option then"....

:lol Neither was Klay

You don't have any faith in your schtick. It's not out of my price range. I'll go 1K but no lower.
