2017 WCF Game 4: Spurs vs Dubs presented by OXO Good Grips brooms (5/22 8PM CT)

[KDKSpurs24]

Murray shoots with one hand it looks horrible.. he has to work on that.

[raybies]

good grief

[tholdren]

TBH

Not all post season but this series

[Quiet Strength]

Still no bertans or dedmon wtf

[Keepin' it real]

DJ and other young guys are playing PISSED

I'd prefer if they'd play WELL

[testies]

Gasol has cost us at least 15 Curry threes since game 1

it might be more actually

[sasaint]

Member when Gasol made threes?

What happened? That was like two months ago when he was money?

[emanueldavidginobili]

The thing about Murray that is very encouraging is that he barley played this regular season. He's not playing great tonight or anything but Pop barley played him this season and then he got hurt. He needs to start every game next season.

[FkLA]

I don't get why Pop went away from the line-ups he used in Game 3. Much better than this weak shit.

[Quiet Strength]

kyle has been quietly playing solid all postseason... dont know why people hatin on him

Spurs should start him over aldridge in the second half

[Robz4000]

Pop has just completely given up and at this point is spurning the passionate players that don't have clout like Manu. There really might be something to his plantation master mentality.

[ducks]

I mean it's like target practice on whomever Mills is on. It's crazy.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

It is clear that the game has passed Pau and LMA. Unless the Spurs get a athletic young big to help LMA he honestly should be traded or retire. No way he is a number 2 option. Spurs have a lot of young raw players.

[RD2191]

Man, as much as I'd like to see DJ start he gives me that 6th man vibe. I could see him destroying opposing benches.

[spursistan]

Not sure I'll pay Mills 8 millions at this point..When you're getting outplayed by your 20yo rookie backup for an entire Conference Finals series, it is over..

[DarrinS]

At least GSW showed how to abuse someone on the post. Lol Patty on Livingston.

Btw, TP would've also been abused.

[Capt Bringdown]

Are the Spurs really going to let GS get away with deliberately injuring Leonard and advancing to the next round without a scratch?

Championship dynasties that would never allow that:
Celtics
Lakers
Pistons

It's open season on Spurs players in the future if they don't retaliate.
Respect must be earned.

[tmtcsc]

Ugh,Murray is trash right now. Lots of love going on but its because he's showing flashes. Gets his shit blocked all the time, can't shoot jumpers, gets punked regularly on defense. The only thing he has going for him is his athleticism and ability to dribble. Kid has a long way to go. Spurs will need to pick up another PG until he's ready. It sure as hell isn't TP.

[Trainwreck2100]

Pop has just completely given up and at this point is spurning the passionate players that don't have clout like Manu. There really might be something to his plantation master mentality.

Playing Dedmon will feed GS's victim mentality and Bertans is white. Simmons is done for the evening, he can't give anymore

[ElNono]

It is clear that the game has passed Pau and LMA. Unless the Spurs get a athletic young big to help LMA he honestly should be traded or retire. No way he is a number 2 option. Spurs have a lot of young raw players.

You mean like Dedmon?

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Pop has just completely given up and at this point is spurning the passionate players that don't have clout like Manu. There really might be something to his plantation master mentality.

You have some knowledge on getting guys to hit shots and not get scored on? Lets not fool ourselves here...

[sasaint]

Still no bertans or dedmon wtf

Bertans I don't understand, but Deadman isn't coming back next season, so Pop would rather see some guys who might be back. Pop decided to jettison Deadman a couple of months ago.

[raybies]

personally i'd play whoevers hot second half. no favorites, no set rotations, no bias to veterans ...

[bklynspursfan]

You have some knowledge on getting guys to hit shots and not get scored on? Lets not fool ourselves here...

Gotta love the theories here lol

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

You mean like Dedmon?

Do you think Dedmon can be a 10 pts plus guy a night and play solid D on top bigs?

[tmtcsc]

On pace to give up 130 points...again.

[tholdren]

Gasol has cost us at least 15 Curry threes since game 1

it might be more actually

What are tou watching? He literally gives up every open three bc he cant switch and layup bc he cant help. He gave up like 8 in a row the last 2 minutes of the game. Its baffling, like mcdyess, with pops insistance on fundamentals this guy has none.


Murray
Manu
Forbes
Bertans
Kyle


Thanks

[FkLA]

More than his play, I'm pissed at LMA for not breaking twig Durbeta in half when he two hand pushed him.

[sasaint]

You mean like Dedmon?

Deadman is gone. Pop made that decision a couple of months ago.

[ElNono]

Do you think Dedmon can be a 10 pts plus guy a night and play solid D on top bigs?

I don't know about scoring, but he can defend better than Pau at this point, IMO

[LkrFan]

Pop has just completely given up and at this point is spurning the passionate players that don't have clout like Manu. There really might be something to his plantation master mentality.

Plantation? I never heard that one before.

[TE]

I'd prefer if they'd play WELL
Easy to say. At least they're playing hard.

[ducks]

They won 61 friggin' games and had the second-best record in the NBA behind gs
Sucks tp and Leonard out

[ArtVandelay]

Are the Spurs really going to let GS get away with deliberately injuring Leonard and advancing to the next round without a scratch?

Championship dynasties that would never allow that:
Celtics
Lakers
Pistons

It's open season on Spurs players in the future if they don't retaliate.
Respect must be earned.

every team that has ever lost to the warriors in the postseason laid down without a fight

baffling considering how soft their players are

[Silver&Black]

On pace to give up 130 points...again.

Who out there do you trust to actually play some defense? Our two best defenders last year...one is retired...the other is sitting in the 2nd row.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

I don't know about scoring, but he can defend better than Pau at this point, IMO

Pop could play better D that Pau

[Robz4000]

Gotta love the theories here lol

Just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks at this point tbh.

[DPG21920]

I am honestly shocked at this Manu starting thing. I truly thought with Manu being fully healthy this year that he would come back. I am fully flipped around now thinking this was it. Damn.

[tholdren]

Who out there do you trust to actually play some defense? Our two best defenders last year...one is retired...the other is sitting in the 2nd row.

Murray kyle danny bertans dedmon will all play d

[ElNono]

I am honestly shocked at this Manu starting thing. I truly thought with Manu being fully healthy this year that he would come back. I am fully flipped around now thinking this was it. Damn.

Makes a lot of sense... he was probably our best player this series once Kawhi went down... Pop wanted some punch/energy early...

Need more than that though...

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

All the match ups changed when KL went down. It just made it next to impossible to guard KD. Then shifted weaker defenders onto strong players. There was no magic here. Duncan and TP were not coming back to save the day. Lets be happy this team has a positive future and not a lottery team

[Keepin' it real]

every team that has ever lost to the warriors in the postseason laid down without a fight

Millennials tbh. The long-term effects of Ritalin. No machismo to put up a fight.

[bklynspursfan]

Who out there do you trust to actually play some defense? Our two best defenders last year...one is retired...the other is sitting in the 2nd row.

Goat level perimeter defender and goat level rim protector both gone. Against a team like this? I'm really surprised people are surprised we're struggling defensively.our only hope was to hope they struggle shooting, and hopefully get hot from 3 and Mike D'Antoni these guys for a game.

[daslicer]

Championship dynasties that would never allow that:
Celtics

It's open season on Spurs players in the future if they don't retaliate.
Respect must be earned.

I'm old school and would love to see them take out one of the warriors but that's not going to happen. That's just not the current NBA. I guarantee you that if the Spurs retaliated there would be a 20-30 game suspension for the player who took out Curry,Kevin or Klay. There is nobody out there whose going to risk that. Hell I would punch out Kevin right now if I could but that's not how guys are wired today. This is a punk league.

[Trainwreck2100]

Murray kyle danny bertans dedmon will all play d

bertans plays with effort but he got destroyed last game

[bklynspursfan]

Just throwing shit at the wall to see what sticks at this point tbh.

:lol if it's juicy enough to some people, that shit will stick.

[tholdren]

Makes a lot of sense... he was probably our best player this series once Kawhi went down... Pop wanted some punch/energy early...

Hes got to be pissed with the pussies hes playing with.

[Robz4000]

Plantation? I never heard that one before.

HH coined it iirc.

[ElNono]

All the match ups changed when KL went down. It just made it next to impossible to guard KD. Then shifted weaker defenders onto strong players. There was no magic here. Duncan and TP were not coming back to save the day. Lets be happy this team has a positive future and not a lottery team

In what sense? We're miles away from this Dubs team, tbh... if Manu retires, even more so...

[Ice009]

Well I keep telling you guys about not re-signing Mills for any price. His defense sucks, which won't change due to his lack of size, and he's an undersized shooting guard that has a playoff average of about 4 ppg. I don't want him back at any price.

Patty said he was upset with his performance last season in the playoffs against OKC, well guess what Patty, you've shit the bed yet again.

He's not a playoff player. You don't pay anything other than the bare minimum for those type of players. Gary Neal who I was a huge fan of until his putrid defense in game 6 and 7 of the finals was a superior playoff player to Mills. You DO NOT pay players like Mills anymore than the minimum if you're a team looking to compete for Championships. You let him move on to a scrub team that will pay him. I hope someone is willing to pay him, cause I don't want him back, maybe not even for his current contract. A fat lazy Diaw would have been better at PG than this. I would have rather have run Diaw at point forward over Mills at PG if Diaw was still on the team.

[tholdren]

bertans plays with effort but he got destroyed last game

I dont care. I want effort. Play with effort and lose by 10 is better than watching this lma mills pau shit.

[ElNono]

Hes got to be pissed with the pussies hes playing with.

yup

[daslicer]

All the match ups changed when KL went down. It just made it next to impossible to guard KD. Then shifted weaker defenders onto strong players. There was no magic here. Duncan and TP were not coming back to save the day. Lets be happy this team has a positive future and not a lottery team

Spurs are fighting and not giving up. I still believe had Kawhi not gotten injured they would have beaten this team.

[FkLA]

I am honestly shocked at this Manu starting thing. I truly thought with Manu being fully healthy this year that he would come back. I am fully flipped around now thinking this was it. Damn.

I think it was preemptive. There was always a chance he would retire and Pop wanted to honor him if he does. I honestly think Manu is undecided and will think long and hard about it for a couple of weeks.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Hes got to be pissed with the pussies hes playing with.

You have to understand that its a total change for Pop to not have what he had forever. There is a lot of youth and change going on here. TD needed to be here one more year to mentor some of these guys. i dont think Parker is that guy.

[SnakeBoy]

At least GSW showed how to abuse someone on the post. Lol Patty on Livingston.

Btw, TP would've also been abused.

True but TP would bring some offense to the table. Patty is shooting around 20% for the series.

[DPG21920]

Makes a lot of sense... he was probably our best player this series once Kawhi went down... Pop wanted some punch/energy early...

Need more than that though...

I don't think it made sense at all from an in-game perspective. But it does in giving Manu his moment which he has earned. Especially with the series being over no matter what.

[ElNono]

Well I keep telling you guys about not re-signing Mills for any price. His defense sucks, which won't change due to his lack of size, and he's an undersized shooting guard that has a playoff average of about 4 ppg. I don't want him back at any price.

Patty said he was upset with his performance last season in the playoffs against OKC, well guess what Patty, you've shit the bed yet again.

Gary Neal who I was a huge fan of until his putrid defense in game 6 and 7 of the finals was a superior playoff player to Mills.

I would have rather have run Diaw at point forward over Mills at PG if Diaw was still on the team.

To be fair Patty is playing on a bargain deal... he'll probably gonna get paid this summer, hopefully not by the Spurs...

[tholdren]

Yes, bur maybe pop is smarter than all.of us and playing mills into a shit contract. Hes earned it

[FkLA]

In what sense? We're miles away from this Dubs team, tbh... if Manu retires, even more so...

You mean miles away without Kawhichael, right?

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Spurs are fighting and not giving up. I still believe had Kawhi not gotten injured they would have beaten this team.

It would have been interesting that is for sure. Beat them? I don`t know about that, GSW is very very good. But we will never know. What could have been a great series is left to be what could have been. Instead we get KD joining the team that beat him, like a little bitch, in the finals...

[ElNono]

I don't think it made sense at all from an in-game perspective. But it does in giving Manu his moment which he has earned. Especially with the series being over no matter what.

Manu said after last game he won't know if he comes back or retires for another 3-4 weeks...

[Ice009]

Mills what a piece of shit

Cojo man, SUPERIOR PLAYER. SUPERIOR PLAYER. Why couldn't the Spurs find a way to keep him. He's a steal at his current salary, and people wanted to pay Mills 9 million more per year than what Cojo is currently getting. I don't give a fuck about what the market it and what other teams are doing wasting money. The Spurs can't be retarded any pay players like Mills and Gasol $15 million per year when you can get guys from the d-league for the minimum to provide as much as they do. Let other teams throw away that money.

Even Simmons, can't be silly and pay him big money. Sure he competed, but he's not worth breaking the bank over. He's still got limitations.

[Capt Bringdown]

I'm old school and would love to see them take out one of the warriors but that's not going to happen. That's just not the current NBA. I guarantee you that if the Spurs retaliated there would be a 20-30 game suspension for the player who took out Curry,Kevin or Klay. There is nobody out there whose going to risk that. Hell I would punch out Kevin right now if I could but that's not how guys are wired today. This is a punk league.

But taking Leonard out was an old-school, street play. Doesn't make it right, but that's what it was.
And the game is still played on that level.
Spurs players know that no one has their back when it gets physical, and it shows.
Just a bunch of individuals out there in the Silver & Black.

[ElNono]

You mean miles away without Kawhichael, right?

Even with Kawhi, I didn't think we had enough, tbh... Kawhi is really good, probably the best player this series, but we have a lot of holes against this team, starting with the supposed 'big' superiority that doesn't exist...

[sasaint]

All the match ups changed when KL went down. It just made it next to impossible to guard KD. Then shifted weaker defenders onto strong players. There was no magic here. Duncan and TP were not coming back to save the day. Lets be happy this team has a positive future and not a lottery team

Changed all of the Dubs' defensive assignments, too, making them all easier and giving them that much more energy on the offensive end.

[daslicer]

It would have been interesting that is for sure. Beat them? I don`t know about that, GSW is very very good. But we will never know. What could have been a great series is left to be what could have been. Instead we get KD joining the team that beat him, like a little bitch, in the finals...

KD is soft mentally. He would have melted against Kawhi much like he has against Lebron. I firmly believe that.

[DPG21920]

Manu said after last game he won't know if he comes back or retires for another 3-4 weeks...

What I'm saying is I think this is telling. Like how Tim said he didn't know but with how he walked off vs OKC..

[313]

not watching, but looking at the box score, what worked so well in the second quarter that we scored 32?

[tholdren]

Manu said after last game he won't know if he comes back or retires for another 3-4 weeks...

He will be back. 1 more. Too competitive to go out with injuries being the reason for elimination. Would be different if he got beat in the memphis series. Hes obviously the best spur behind leonard.

[Snaq O'Meal]

Yes, bur maybe pop is smarter than all.of us and playing mills into a shit contract. Hes earned it

I'd rather see Mills sign somewhere else. Short-ass defensively-challenged guards like Microwave and Pork have been rendered useless by the Warriors.

[tmtcsc]

Manu said after last game he won't know if he comes back or retires for another 3-4 weeks...

I believe him.

[Ice009]

Fuck to be honest Lebron and Murray are pretty tight. He's probably just gonna have Pop develop Murray and then Lebron gonna coerce him into joining the Cavs. Also WTF Golden State doesn't miss.

Are they tight? I think Dejounte has signed with Lebron's agency. Has Lebron said anything about Dejounte's game?

[Snaq O'Meal]

not watching, but looking at the box score, what worked so well in the second quarter that we scored 32?

Decent play from Pau and Kyle tbh.

[spursistan]

If Fathead works on his shot, he could be solid rotation player next year on the cheap...He's been quietly putting a string of good games this postseason..

[tholdren]

Stone hands aldrodge

[ElNono]

What I'm saying is I think this is telling. Like how Tim said he didn't know but with how he walked off vs OKC..

I don't know if it's telling, but I can see Pop wanting to make sure he gets a nice ovation tonight.... like I said, I think Pop quit by Game 3...

[MultiTroll]

Jeff Van Gundy with the truth!

"If Spurs older players would play with the same spirit as the younger ones are...."
Then Jackson jumped in and started slurping Golden Showers.

[Ice009]

I think the young guys have the will to win, which may be why they are in. We just don't have the horses to compete with an all-time great line-up. Frankly, I don't want to see our guys go back to Oakland and play in front of a bunch of rabid, band-wagon fans root for the stinking Dubs to massacre our hobbled team and not even show the sportsmanship to pull their all-stars until they are up by 40.

I want more experience for the young guys. These young guys look tough. It'd light a fire under them to work harder IMO. I still want to win a game bad. I do not want to get swept.

[tholdren]

Decent play from Pau and Kyle tbh.

Lol idiot

[DPG21920]

Mills sh*t on b2b possessions. Just awful.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Patty mills is sooooo lost out there on D

[MultiTroll]

like I said, I think Pop quit by Game 3...
and your thoughts on that?

[DPG21920]

I don't know if it's telling, but I can see Pop wanting to make sure he gets a nice ovation tonight.... like I said, I think Pop quit by Game 3...

Kawhi is legit injured with an injury that appears to have long term consequences.

[raybies]

this defense is pathetic

[Ron Swanson]

Stop showing promos for game 5.

[tholdren]

Mills sh*t on b2b possessions. Just awful.

Walking on the closeout. Fuck him

[Darius Bieber]

McCaw > Murray hands down. And the retarded Spurs front office passed up on him.

[bklynspursfan]

Jeff Van Gundy with the truth!

"If Spurs older players would play with the same spirit as the younger ones are...."
Then Jackson jumped in and started slurping Golden Showers.

Sans Manu.. yea. Mainly LMA/Pau imo

[ElNono]

and your thoughts on that?

you know them, I put them on a thread a while back

[ElNono]

Kawhi is legit injured with an injury that appears to have long term consequences.

we don't really know that.

[testies]

Poop with the season on the line with this shitty line up again lol

[Snaq O'Meal]

If Fathead works on his shot, he could be solid rotation player next year on the cheap...He's been quietly putting a string of good games this postseason..

He's actually a better facilitator than DJ. But Poop doesn't maximise his strengths.

[tholdren]

Poop with the season on the line with this shitty line up again lol

Worst in game coach of all time

[daslicer]

But taking Leonard out was an old-school, street play. Doesn't make it right, but that's what it was.
And the game is still played on that level.
Spurs players know that no one has their back when it gets physical, and it shows.
Just a bunch of individuals out there in the Silver & Black.

I agree it was a dirty move but how can the Spurs injure Curry,Kevin,Klay without getting a major Artest like suspension. How do you suggest they do it? Should they punch Curry in the face when he's in mid air or body slam him? Even though Zaza succeeded in injuring Kawhi it's still not easy to injure guys. Like I said before I'm old school I miss the '90's NBA where a guy like Durant would have been punched out by now but you have to remember back then the suspension weren't harsh where as today they are super harsh. Very few guys are going to be willing to risk being out half of the year for hurting someone.

If you want to talk about soft I would say LMA is soft for not shoving Durant back after Durant shoved him.

[emanueldavidginobili]

I'm glad we played the Warriors so certain players can get EXPOSED

[raybies]

so much falling asleep on defense... gosh man... get the kids back in

[ElNono]

ugh, LMA has tickets to Hawaii for tonight... you can just tell

[Play Boban]

The game is over. Let's just get Manu 20 points so we can bump that damn thread one more time tbh... Time to go all out Kobe hero mode tbh...

[skin27]

Patty mills can't hit a 3 to save his life!!!:lmao

[TheDoctor]

Pop wet dreaming some team offer Fatty some Boban contract. "Get the money Paddy, later down the road we'll see" :lol

[Ron Swanson]

ugh, LMA has tickets to Hawaii for tonight... you can just tell

He can stay there.

[RD2191]

I'm only watching for Manu, fuck everybody else.

[Keepin' it real]

Painful to watch ...

[emanueldavidginobili]

That KD 3 was also Mills fault

[raybies]

pop quit

[testies]

4th quarter of game 4 and their still calling LMA iso on Draymond lol

[Slippy]

Why am i watching this. Its obvious most of the starters aside from Manu have mailed it in .

[testies]

danny green still in the game lol

[raybies]

throw the towel

[Play Boban]

I'm only watching for Manu, fuck everybody else.

[spursistan]

Aldridge has that "quit" look in the Memphis series before he bolted out of Portland...let's hope this is it for us with this loser..

[Ron Swanson]

4th quarter of game 4 and their still calling LMA iso on Draymond lol

Are you from the future?

[raybies]

seriously put the kids in

[tholdren]

4th quarter of game 4 and their still calling LMA iso on Draymond lol

The sun is a star think about it

[DPG21920]

Manu with 100x the defense of Mills.

[jbspurs]

Aldridge trying to do re post play, but he's not moving to get better position after he kicks out. SMH

[raybies]

this start to the third was absolutly pathetic

[Darius Bieber]

I'm only watching for Manu, fuck everybody else.

[DPG21920]

we don't really know that.

Huh? You think all the reports are lying?

[testies]

fat ass fans still eatin whataburger in manu's last game LMAO

[KDKSpurs24]

Patty can go too

Green and LMA despite our desires are the only Spurs right now that'll be on the team next year

[Keepin' it real]

Longhorns suck. LMA is the perfect embodiment of that.

Huh? You think all the reports are lying?

what reports?

[Capt Bringdown]

I agree it was a dirty move but how can the Spurs injure Curry,Kevin,Klay without getting a major Artest like suspension. How do you suggest they do it? Should they punch Curry in the face when he's in mid air or body slam him? Even though Zaza succeeded in injuring Kawhi it's still not easy to injure guys. Like I said before I'm old school I miss the '90's NBA where a guy like Durant would have been punched out by now but you have to remember back then the suspension weren't harsh where as today they are super harsh. Very few guys are going to be willing to risk being out half of the year for hurting someone.

If you want to talk about soft I would say LMA is soft for not shoving Durant back after Durant shoved him.

Have the Spurs delivered a single hard foul in this series? They don't need to take anyone down - just show that they have a pulse.
They way the Spurs responded to GS, it's obvious that the Spurs don't really give a shit about each other.
GS exposed them very badly in this dept.

[tholdren]

Mike brown time outs keeping sa in it... clueless, can tell hes from the pop tree of in game fucking up

[Play Boban]

LA stat padding in the blowout smh...

[emanueldavidginobili]

No. Been saying this since blair. You have to have a physical, mean big man. Someone has to be an intimidator. Spurs dont have that.

[E20]

Are they tight? I think Dejounte has signed with Lebron's agency. Has Lebron said anything about Dejounte's game?

I really like Dejounte so I follow him on various social media outlets, Lebron and him straight up party together in the off season. Dejounte went with the Cavs team this past summer to celebrate their ship. As far as him commenting on his game haven't heard him anything.

The punishments are not harsh for certain dirty teams. Hell, some inbred retard even got away with kicking others in the groin last year.

[FkLA]

Even with Kawhi, I didn't think we had enough, tbh... Kawhi is really good, probably the best player this series, but we have a lot of holes against this team, starting with the supposed 'big' superiority that doesn't exist...

They never looked miles better with Kawhi out there. Not in the regular season and not in Game 1. I don't see how anybody can say that unless they're falling for the hype machine.

I know these are different teams but these are numbers LA should have put up:

Millsap?

[raybies]

lets go!!

[Ice009]

Not sure I'll pay Mills 8 millions at this point..When you're getting outplayed by your 20yo rookie backup for an entire Conference Finals series, it is over..

lol, I wouldn't even want him back for his current salary. How many times do I have to tell you guys - He averages about 6ppg in the playoffs and is an undersized SG that is a traffic cone on defense. His current salary is about all that he's worth to the Spurs or any team with title aspirations. You can get what Mills provides in the playoffs from one of the top d-league players - if you give a d-league player the same minutes as Mills, he could probably score 6 ppg. Gary Neal is a better version of Mills.

There's only a couple of shooters on the Spurs that are pure shooters - Bertans and Forbes. Most of the players on the team are mechanical shooters than have learned to shoot. Mills was a putrid shooter when he was younger, he's learned to shoot, but he's not a pure shooter. Another mechanical shooter that doesn't have a feel for shooting.

[ElNono]

They never looked miles better with Kawhi out there. Not in the regular season and not in Game 1. I don't see how anybody can say that unless they're falling for the hype machine.

Playoffs is all that matters matchup-wise, and we had a very small sample with Kawhi out there, tbh.... without Kawhi, it's no contest...

[Keepin' it real]

Lol 19 seasons

[tholdren]

They never looked miles better with Kawhi out there. Not in the regular season and not in Game 1. I don't see how anybody can say that unless they're falling for the hype machine.

No ball movement consistently. Kl iso and shit post ups if you can call it that

[raybies]

curry looks tired

[spurraider21]

:lmao forbes getting more minutes than bertans

[raybies]

Keep bryn let patty walk lol

[testies]

Gasoft coming in

they'll make a 15 pt run

[Ron Swanson]

Nice tits in the background.

[LkrFan]

Is LMA interested in defense? That Curry layup was too easy.

[SAGirl]

Bryn Forbes better than Patty this game. Just scrapping more.

[tholdren]

Millsap?

Box score dont mean shit. When tou make plays is more important than how many you make

[FkLA]

Pau in to finish off the Spurs, tbh.

[raybies]

micheal forbes

[ElNono]

Ime with the nice Argentina-looking shirt/tie

[tholdren]

Gasoft coming in

they'll make a 15 pt run

Hahahahaha there it be

[SAGirl]

Let Patty go tbh. Bryn Forbes and Murray are both better and younger and cheaper.

[FkLA]

Keep shooting, Klaynus.

[tholdren]

Never hated a spur more than a warrior until gasol signed.

[daslicer]

The punishments are not harsh for certain dirty teams. Hell, some inbred retard even got away with kicking others in the groin last year.

I definitely agree with you on that. Warriors and Cavs are allowed to play dirty due to being favored by the media and the league. Teams do have to stand up to them when they do dirty fouls. I'm not saying just sit there and take it when someone throws a shove, cheapshot, etc. I firmly believe in standing up for yourself immediately at the time that happens or having your teammates back when it happens but you can't just do pre-mediated attacks on the opponents. All attacks need to be done in the act of self defense that way you limit getting severely punished.

[DPG21920]

what reports?

The reports on his injury.

[tholdren]

Pau in to finish off the Spurs, tbh.

How in the fuck is he still getting pt?

[spurraider21]

Ime with the nice Argentina-looking shirt/tiesounds pretty gay

[raybies]

the kids still playing like we can come back or something

[MultiTroll]

Poop with the season on the line with this shitty line up again lol
I'd really like to know what you guys think about Kwa input -or not- with Pops pulling this chit.
On the other side NBA Forum.

[RD2191]

We look great without LMA :lol

[ElNono]

The reports on his injury.

which one? The last one I saw was a week ago and said his MRI showed no structural damage. Do you have anything newer?

[raybies]

the future :cry

[ace3g]

Millsap?


Who is that?


Millsap it would be.

[bklynspursfan]

Way too easy for Durant. Anderson was in slo-mo trying to turn around to contest lol was probably going in regardless. This guy lights it up when Kawhi isn't in there

[TDomination]

They just don't miss freakin a

[Darius Bieber]

We look great without LMA :lol

Now replace Pau's faggot ass with bertans and we have a chance.

[testies]

can this faggot durant die?

[ElNono]

:pop: "We're on a run, let me call a full timeout here"

[skin27]

Too many weapons for the warriors.. Spurs can't comeback on this..

[tholdren]

Now replace Pau's faggot ass with bertans and we have a chance.

Boom

[DPG21920]

Forbes struggled a lot this year, but started showing some real glimpses. More varied scorer than Mills too. Exciting to see and would be a nice development.

Baby Groot (saw that nickname on Twitter for Murray) playing hard.

[twincam]

Anderson.....:downspin: trying to guard Durant

[Nathan89]

We look great without LMA :lol

He's a ball stopping faggot with no skills tbh. Can't dribble, shoot, or pass.

[sasaint]

I want more experience for the young guys. These young guys look tough. It'd light a fire under them to work harder IMO. I still want to win a game bad. I do not want to get swept.

I don't want to get swept, but that is the lesser of evils to me. As a fan (not speaking for the players), it would be absolutely crushing to see the Spurs get mauled in the zoo that is Oakland and watch our guys (especially Manu) walk off the court amid the tumultuous celebration of the Dubs' band-wagon fans. (Even as I type, we cut the lead to ten...)

[tholdren]

Too many weapons for the warriors.. Spurs can't comeback on this..

Probably because pau gives up wide open shots every time down

[FkLA]

Playoffs is all that matters matchup-wise, and we had a very small sample with Kawhi out there, tbh.... without Kawhi, it's no contest...

That small sample size is bigger than the one that suggests they are miles ahead. You have Kawhi to throw at Durbeta, and with Klaynus struggling it's gets a lot more interesting. Without Kawhi, both Curry and Durbeta are feasting.

[Ron Swanson]

:pop: "We're on a run, let me call a full timeout here"

He has to get LMA back in.

[Rito3d30]

I was wrong about the finals gonna be boring for the same matchup again
Watching the dubs getting shit on by the cavs is gonna be fun as hell

[emanueldavidginobili]

Young kids are playing hard. Just don't have the talent compared to the likes of Durant, Curry I don't want to see Mills for the rest of the night.

[ElNono]

Forbes struggled a lot this year, but started showing some real glimpses. More varied scorer than Mills too. Exciting to see and would be a nice development.

Baby Groot (saw that nickname on Twitter for Murray) playing hard.

But can he run an offense and handle the pressure, tbh?

[DPG21920]

which one? The last one I saw was a week ago and said his MRI showed no structural damage. Do you have anything newer?

The report said there was no structural damage but that playing on it could lead to damage that has long term ramifications.

This was not some Pop mind game.

[bklynspursfan]

:pop: "We're on a run, let me call a full timeout here"

We were on a run till Durant scored way too easily.

[skin27]

No kawhi = no one can stop Durant.

[Nathan89]

Forbes struggled a lot this year, but started showing some real glimpses. More varied scorer than Mills too. Exciting to see and would be a nice development.

Baby Groot (saw that nickname on Twitter for Murray) playing hard.

Like the nickname.

[testies]

Warriors big 3 playing huge minutes

Poop "let me call this time out while the crowd was amped and we were on a run, so Durant cant rest more"

[ElNono]

The report said there was no structural damage but that playing on it could lead to damage that has long term ramifications.

This was not some Pop mind game.

link?

All I heard is Pop saying he wont play in Game 3 and 4... I have links for those, tbh

[spursistan]

Pop dog-housing of Bertans/Dedmon in this lost cause series is weird..

[Ice009]

Kawhi is legit injured with an injury that appears to have long term consequences.

Huh? Are you being serious about Kawhi's injury?

[DarrinS]

Anderson.....:downspin: trying to guard Durant

Anyone except Kawhi trying to guard Durant. :downspin:

[sammy]

How is that not an offensive foul on Durant? He threw the elbow out to make that shot!

[raybies]

:pop Hey Dedmon get over yourself

[ElNono]

Huh? Are you being serious about Kawhi's injury?

You didn't see the reports either?

[sasaint]

I was wrong about the finals gonna be boring for the same matchup again
Watching the dubs getting shit on by the cavs is gonna be fun as hell

:tu

[SAGirl]

the kids still playing like we can come back or something
They have nothing to lose in this.
Some of them get in Pop's doghouse and don't even play in RS meaningless games so they have to use this opportunity even for FA or future FA.

[bklynspursfan]

C'mon Pau. Seriously?? U can't get that board?

[spursistan]

We look great without LMA :lol
Tell it to that dumbass Daboom :lol..

[marinoman]

Let Patty go tbh. Bryn Forbes and Murray are both better and younger and cheaper.
Mills has been garbage 2 years in a row when we needed him most

[DPG21920]

But can he run an offense and handle the pressure, tbh?

Nope but no one is saying Forbes is a PG though. No "start Forbes" crew lol

[Ron Swanson]

Ball don't lie

[Silver&Black]

How on Earth did Gasol not get that rebound. Wow.

[MultiTroll]

He's a ball stopping faggot with no skills tbh. Can't dribble, shoot, or pass.
Please see NBA Forum
Really want to know what you guys think about Kawhis input -or not.

[Ice009]

Patty mills can't hit a 3 to save his life!!!:lmao

That's what 6ppg on the Spurs career playoff average will get ya.

[tholdren]

Pau rheir best player

[ElNono]

ridiculous how these faggots cant miss

[DPG21920]

Huh? Are you being serious about Kawhi's injury?

Yes. That is why he was held out. The ankle has no long-term damage now, but that is why he can't play. The risk of damage is too great.

[ace3g]

always answering with a 3...

[Ron Swanson]

How on Earth did Gasol not get that rebound. Wow.

http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-22ievi-QEIM/TzJe_Z3MfHI/AAAAAAAADlA/zNgQUOH0iDc/s1600/blind%2Bsquirrel%2B1.jpg

Nope but no one is saying Forbes is a PG though. No "start Forbes" crew lol

:lol

[skin27]

Warriors too much for this d league Spurs team..

[Darius Bieber]

Well at least we'll get to see the warriors partying on our home court.

[Robz4000]

Gasol comes in, Dubrefs go back up 20. Like clockwork.

[tholdren]

Pau gets picked by curry and cant get through it. Then he gives up the back door.... classic

[testies]

put in ccrazy eyes

[bklynspursfan]

How on Earth did Gasol not get that rebound. Wow.

So frustrating man

[RD2191]

Fuck you Pop, this is what you get for not playing your rookies the entire season. Eat shit old bastard.

[Play Boban]

:lol I sensed a glimmer of hope there for a minute, but I guess not. :lol

[Darius Bieber]

Fuck you Pop, this is what you get for not playing your rookies the entire season. Eat shit old bastard.

[raybies]

Pops insistence to play LMA, Patty, and Pau has really done us in man

[tholdren]

Why is gasol getting playing time?

[ElNono]

Here comes the 26-6 run in the 4th to send it to OT, tbh

[marinoman]

The fuck did bertans even do to not get minutes

[TheDoctor]

Kawhi as a supreme competitor gotta be dying inside watching this tbh.

[FkLA]

Give credit to Potato Head :cry

[bklynspursfan]

Fuck you Pop, this is what you get for not playing your rookies the entire season. Eat shit old bastard.

Yea even if he did, it changes squat with no Kawhi. Makes no difference here.

[tholdren]

:lol I sensed a glimmer of hope there for a minute, but I guess not. :lol

Because we needed pau at center right dipshit?

[r0drig0lac]

KYLE!!!!!

[Play Boban]

Manu is about to lead us back from a huge deficit a la 2005 versus Phoenix tbh. :cry

[horsielove]

THE JEWS!!!

[DPG21920]

Yea even if he did, it changes squat with no Kawhi. Makes no difference here.

:lol What's funny is these guys wanted Mills to start and the young guys should have gotten HIS minutes it appears

[Ron Swanson]

Your leading scorer?


Kyle Anderson

[SAGirl]

Kyle dunk....:wow

[ElNono]

http://rs1341.pbsrc.com/albums/o745/Trudy_Jordan/animated_broom.gif~c200

[DPG21920]

Kyle is playing like LMA should tbh..just so smooth and calm and bullies dudes down low. Or makes the right pass like LM struggles with.

[Play Boban]

Because we needed pau at center right dipshit?
The Spurs came back with Pau in your fool.

Pau is +0 in this game and LA is -18, so STFU.

[testies]

hot take: we wouldve lost 4-1 even with healthy kawhi

[SAGirl]

Your leading scorer?


Kyle Anderson
Good player
Needs to get traded tbh.
Very unappreciated

[raybies]

i havent drank a beer in about a year but if the spurs go out tonight i think I'll have one.

Pops insistence to play LMA, Patty, Greenand Pau has really done us in man
