[Chinook]

Why has this not been made yet?

[Chinook]

Oh, so that's why

[raybies]

Murray playing this game?

[Russ]

11-0 Spurs.

[r0drig0lac]

MVForbes

[raybies]

Team looking legit ever since Murray was benched

[Chinook]

Hanlan's been a solid PG.

[raybies]

Yeah I like him. Nothing fancy, all substance. Gets the team into his sets, plays solid D, and hits his shots. He's having a very solid summer.

[dabom]

Real GT.

[marinoman]

Just make forbes the regular season starter, his handles have really improved

[Dex]

Forbes continuing his hot scoring. Looking like a man amongst boys out there.

Concerning Murray is out again. I don't think he is healthy, otherwise there is no reason to not have him in these games.

[raybies]

White in

[raybies]

Forbes deserves the second pg spot if summer league is worth anything to PATFO

[Chinook]

Forbes continuing his hot scoring. Looking like a man amongst boys out there.

Concerning Murray is out again. I don't think he is healthy, otherwise there is no reason to not have him in these games.

He may have asked out of them too. Dude didn't seem happy when he was in the d-league, so he might feel like this is beneath him (especially since he's not clearly a star like Forbes has been)

[TheGreatYacht]

Murray is 100% healthy. RC just keeping him out to stop that plummeting trade value

[raybies]

Don't understand why Murray isn't playing. Has to be trade talks. They said he was fine, no injury. This is just weird.

[TheGreatYacht]

Bryn's shit teammates costing him assists per par

[r0drig0lac]

White!!!!

[$pursDynasty]

The Loaded Magazine...

[rjv]

Murray is 100% healthy. RC just keeping him out to stop that plummeting trade value you mean from a 2019 2nd rounder to a 2021 2nd rounder?

[SAGirl]

Murray playing this game?

Spurs sat down Murray and have gone on a winning run it looks like. :tu

[rjv]

Don't understand why Murray isn't playing. Has to be trade talks. They said he was fine, no injury. This is just weird. you've narrowed it down to this one possibility?

[raybies]

They told Murray he graduated so they could win

[jyra]

I like Forbes getting physical on D there.

[SAGirl]

Also, can't watch this game. just checking the boxscore. Id prefer to watch, but can't

Go Spurs
:flag:

[raybies]

you've narrowed it down to this one possibility?
just stirring the pot

[TheGreatYacht]

Holy fuck the Pelicans have Quinn Cook and Keith Benson. The 2 best D-League players....

[SAGirl]

They told Murray he graduated so they could win

In all seriousness, he needs a lot of work. Maybe next season he can make his own run with White or something.

[TheGreatYacht]

you mean from a 2019 2nd rounder to a 2021 2nd rounder?
:lol

[SAGirl]

Team looking legit ever since Murray was benched

The truth.
A lot for Pops and himself to talk about.

[raybies]

does anyone know if Murray is on the bench

[NASpurs]

lmao was that Jean Charles who missed that putback?

[TheGreatYacht]

Holy shit Jean-Charles must be cut for that. A game of 21 between him and Dedmon would last 2 days at least

[Chinook]

Holy shit Jean-Charles must be cut for that. A game of 21 between him and Dedmon would last 2 days at least

Still faster than Anderson running sprints.

[$pursDynasty]

Holy fuck the Pelicans have Quinn Cook and Keith Benson. The 2 best D-League players.... Figure the Pels main team is desperate for legit contributions on their main team so mining the G-League for possible players on the main roster.

[TheGreatYacht]

Forbes has to play 40 minutes in order for us to win. None of these scrubs are worth a shit.

[rjv]

Still faster than Anderson running sprints. KA's cranium and superior intelligence probably defer to Zeno's paradox when it comes to outrunning other players.

[TheGreatYacht]

Still faster than Anderson running sprints.
:lmao

[NASpurs]

Bertans is playing the 3 right?

Well was until he got subbed out.

[SAGirl]

He may have asked out of them too. Dude didn't seem happy when he was in the d-league, so he might feel like this is beneath him (especially since he's not clearly a star like Forbes has been)

He's saying the right things... but he clearly wanted to be the leader. Those were his interviews in Utah.

Saying the right things but doing another reminds me of Aldridge.

[rjv]

Forbes has to play 40 minutes in order for us to win. None of these scrubs are worth a shit. bench is a combined -29 so far.

[TheGreatYacht]

Figure the Pels main team is desperate for legit contributions on their main team so mining the G-League for possible players on the main roster.
Loved the Jordan Crawford pickup for them last year. Benson and Cook are legit.

Especially Benson. He'd be our starting Center for sure

[Chinook]

Stupid presentation .

[NASpurs]

Can't rebound worth of shit apparently.

[rjv]

bench now at -35. going for a record.

[TheGreatYacht]

Benson averaged 21ppg 11rpg and 2bpg last year. Already has 7 rebounds :lol Pretty sure that's more than Bertans total in Vegas

[NASpurs]

Cady and Jean Charles are crap. Why do they keep giving these guys opportunities.

[raybies]

our bigs are such scrubs...

[TheGreatYacht]

These ungrateful niggas taking shots away from Forbes

[SAGirl]

Murray is 100% healthy. RC just keeping him out to stop that plummeting trade value


Don't understand why Murray isn't playing. Has to be trade talks. They said he was fine, no injury. This is just weird.

My initial reaction was the trade talks. It just didnt make sense to sit him, and on top of that he was in minutes restrictions when he played. It was clear to me they wanted to limit injury risks. Him not playing well then added drama and speculation to the whole thing, but even if he was playing better it's likely he'd still be sat down if trade talks were ongoing.

[Joseph Kony]

Cady and Jean Charles are crap. Why do they keep giving these guys opportunities.
because we're on the hook to pay Livio and spurs are being nice so maybe another team will look at him. also its summer league, majority of all rosters are scrubs and non-NBA players :lol

[raybies]

why on earth did Whittington force that

[$pursDynasty]

Davis invisible

[NASpurs]

because we're on the hook to pay Livio and spurs are being nice so maybe another team will look at him. also its summer league, majority of all rosters are scrubs and non-NBA players :lol

Yeah I know that but these guys have been on the summer league roster for like three summers in a row already. Give some other big man scrubs opportunities is all I'm really saying and change it up a bit.

[TheGreatYacht]

Davis invisible
The ginger will remain criticism free after yet another stinker. ST swore this guy was good lol

[Robz4000]

This SL team has been awful in every facet. Can't even get excited about Forbes since we know he can't do any of this against NBA defenses while being as bad as Mills on D himself.

[Robz4000]

Welp, Bertans just dieded.

[Chinook]

Ouch.

[Dex]

Welp, Bertans just dieded.

:lol

[cd98]

Whoa that's going to be a nasty thigh bruise for Bertans.

[Dex]

Knee to the thigh. Probably gonna be a good bruise. Going back to the locker room.

[SAGirl]

Still faster than Anderson running sprints.


that's all that matters to TGY anyways.

[raybies]

thigh contusion for Bertans. now its over

[Chinook]

At least he went down having a great game.

[NASpurs]

Forbes looking gun shy tonight.

[Dex]

BG with the 3.

[raybies]

Forbes just chuckin now

[raybies]

I haven't seen Murray. ANybody see him

[TheGreatYacht]

At least he went down having a great game.
1-5 but had a career high 3 rebounds :tu

[Dex]

I haven't seen Murray. ANybody see him

He was traded to the Springfield Isotopes.

[sasaint]

BG with the 3.

Nice to see, but he has a very low release. Chip will have to reconstruct his jumper for him to ever be a contributor in the NBA.

[$pursDynasty]

Forbes just chuckin now
hey the Spurs can use a Gary Neal type on the roster again. Can type Loaded Magazine! instead of Neal with it!

[DPG21920]

The lack of local reporting on Murray baffles me. This is someone who is projected to be a starting PG and no even is asking why this guy continues to not play despite no injury reported? Bang up job, SA reporters :tu

[DPG21920]

Murray is either hurt.

Being traded.

Benched for attitude reasons.

[SAGirl]

At least he went down having a great game.

blue font?
keep in mind, I am not watching.
Sorry about Bertans bruise btw

[raybies]

I know it's perplexing for said reasons. I'm asking every Spurs reporter if Murray is on the bench and haven't heard a peep.

[SAGirl]

I haven't seen Murray. ANybody see him

Had time to watch the action last night with lebron and Ben simmons and not to see his teammates play? WTF?

[$pursDynasty]

The SL has done great thing for Forbes confidence and his play is showing it. It might be doing the reverse for Dijon so the Spurs pulled to plug and will try to not do any further damage to Dijon's confidence.

[raybies]

Yeah but not even on the bench....

[TheGreatYacht]

Does anyone know if Keith Benson has a guaranteed contract?

[SAGirl]

1-5 but had a career high 3 rebounds :tu

:lol
at least TGY is funny

which can't be said for other trolls like Spurtacular wth is his troll game anyways? dull racist annoying statements?

[raybies]

Bush League play by that scrub big on Bertans. Hate when that happens. Hurts like heck

[SAGirl]

The lack of local reporting on Murray baffles me. This is someone who is projected to be a starting PG and no even is asking why this guy continues to not play despite no injury reported? Bang up job, SA reporters :tu

yea, Pop has them all intimidated tbh

[jyra]

White can't get beat that easily on the switch.

[TheGreatYacht]

Selfish fucks ignoring Forbes.

Fuck Derrick White.

[NASpurs]

Can we get a replay view of that chick with the thick legs :wow

[SAGirl]

Yeah but not even on the bench....
It leads me to believe he was possibly really sent home and last night was his last night in Vegas and flied home today. Something is definitely going on.

[TheGreatYacht]

Can we get a replay view of that chick with the thick legs :wow
Jeff Ledbetter?

[raybies]

our bench is gonna get murk'd

[NASpurs]

Jeff Ledbetter?

:lol

[Robz4000]

SL Spurs can't defend, can't rebound, can't pass, and can't finish inside. All they have going for them is Forbes and some shooting. Reminds me of the actual Spurs for next year tbh.

[$pursDynasty]

our SL bigs suck, ittington sucks and have seen nothing much from Livio or Lalane.

[Snaq O'Meal]

Jeff Ledbetter?

That's the chick with the hairy legs.

[raybies]

:lol called him darnell

[Russ]

Yeah but not even on the bench....

He was on the bench the last two games and looked involved, cheering teammates, etc.

[TheGreatYacht]

SL Spurs can't defend, can't rebound, can't pass, and can't finish inside. All they have going for them is Forbes and some shooting. Reminds me of the actual Spurs for next year tbh.
Damn if this ain't the truth...

[TheGreatYacht]

That's the chick with the hairy legs.
:lol

[Dex]

SL Spurs can't defend, can't rebound, can't pass, and can't finish inside. All they have going for them is Forbes and some shooting. Reminds me of the actual Spurs for next year tbh.

And yet they will probably finish top 10 in defense, offense, assists, and defensive rebounds.

[rjv]

spurs scrubs now at -58 for the game.

[TheGreatYacht]

Why the fuck is Forbes passing to these god damn bums? :lmao

[Russ]

Nothing but outside shooting from this Spurs team.

[TheGreatYacht]

Brent Barry saying Forbes doesn't have Patty's defensive presence.

MVParker did the right thing.

[Robz4000]

And yet they will probably finish top 10 in defense, offense, assists, and defensive rebounds.

Defense and offense yes thanks to the greatness of Kawhi, but I'm not seeing it with assists and def rebounding unless they find a competent PG or a rebounding defensive big.

[Dex]

:lol White blocked twice in a row. Guess they didn't sign him for his offense.

[raybies]

looks like the Spurs vs Warriors ouchea

[Dex]

Defense and offense yes thanks to the greatness of Kawhi, but I'm not seeing it with assists and def rebounding unless they find a competent PG or a rebounding defensive big.

Pop's system always lends well to defensive rebounding, so I think they will be fine there despite our current lack of bigs. Would be nice to pick up one more rebounder though.

As for assists, tough to say at this point. Gonna need to run a lot more Beautiful Game.

[TheGreatYacht]

Derrick White followed up his previous 3-12 shooting performance with another one. Consistent. RC knows how to pick em.

[Dex]

looks like the Spurs vs Warriors ouchea

The matchup the NBA has been waiting for.

Oh wait...

[Snaq O'Meal]

:lol White blocked twice in a row. Guess they didn't sign him for his offense.

They signed him for his head size. Too bad he's no Kyle Anderson.

[SuperCam]

Derrick White followed up his previous 3-12 shooting performance with another one. Consistent. RC knows how to pick em.

[Keepin' it real]

Come on Spurs. Don't ruin my summer. This is all I have. :cry

[Robz4000]

Pop's system always lends well to defensive rebounding, so I think they will be fine there despite our current lack of bigs. Would be nice to pick up one more rebounder though.

As for assists, tough to say at this point. Gonna need to run a lot more Beautiful Game.

I'm getting tired of "the system" mantra. It hasn't been and never will be Pop's "system", it's the leadership and play of the Big 3 and now Kawhi that have made the team shine. Pop is great (or has been) at macromanaging the team but his actual coaching has been mediocre for years now. Now that the Spurs don't actually have the talent or BBIQ to keep it going you're going to see some slippage.

[raybies]

our defense is abysmal

[TheGreatYacht]

884636728723738624

:cry
Sums up our offseason. There were obvious smart moves to make, but Drunkford wanted to reach as per usual and signed a bunch of rejects and niggas with no Achilles

[raybies]

can't even stop New Orleans summer scrubs smh

[raybies]

BG doin some work

[raybies]

Bryn chuckin like theres no tomorrow and Brent Barry says maybe he'll take over now.. :lmao

Lawd have maercy

[Russ]

Forbes cuts it to four.

[Robz4000]

Not sure how this is still a game.

[Dex]

Not sure how this is still a game.

Pels forgot how to score for like 3 minutes there until that 3.

[$pursDynasty]

man spoiled by those JSimms Fathead SL teams at least thought can't wait to see those guys on the regular squad. This team yikes. Though there are possibly 4 regular season players on this team only one of those 4 looks even decent.

[sasaint]

Bryn gets into a bad trap by Cook.

[TheDoctor]

Murray is either hurt.

Benched for attitude reasons.

No shit.

[raybies]

Lets go White

[SPURt]

"Speaking of baby faces" wtf? Lol

[TheDoctor]

Forbes splitting-up crunch FTs? True Spur tbh

[raybies]

and he misses a free throw

[Dex]

Wild finish to this one.

[raybies]

Need to hit these

[Robz4000]

:lol if the Spurs win this after their horrible play sans the first five mins...

[raybies]

[TheDoctor]

Forbes already a better clutch FT shooter than Fatty.

[Russ]

Spurs somehow pull this one out -- Joel a bit disappointed for the Pelicans.

[Robz4000]

Blossomgame and White with key defensive plays :tu

[Dex]

Ugly win, but good to see some grit from the young guns. Forbes came up big when it mattered. Glad to see them staying on the right side of the bracket.

[sasaint]

Pretty impressive crunch time performance by Bryn Forbes 500. Blossomgame looked decent. Nice comeback win.

[Keepin' it real]

Time to p-a-r-t-y!!!:danceclub

[Russ]

Spurs play 3:00 p.m. (Central Time) on Saturday vs. winner of Toronto (#1 seed) vs. Portland (#16).

[raybies]

I just look at Forbes and can't understand how he's the leading scorer in all of Summer League.

[itzsoweezee]

Seeing the meltdowns in these summer league threads is amazing

[NASpurs]

Damn, I bailed out after the Pelicans went up by 11 points in the fourth. Never bail out early in a Summer league game.

[Chinook]

Seeing the meltdowns in these summer league threads is amazing

Honestly, this is my favorite time of the season. I'm elated that the team has given us something to care about again.

[TheGreatYacht]

Forbes already a better clutch FT shooter than Fatty.
Remember that game this season when Manu missed the first crunch time FT, and made the one he wanted to miss? :lol

I believe Ginobili started the splitting FT tradition

[Dex]

I just look at Forbes and can't understand how he's the leading scorer in all of Summer League.

Chip said on broadcast the other day that Forbes is the best shooter he has ever seen walk into his gym.

That may be hyperbole, but still high praise from a guy who has worked with some of the game's best. After this SL showing, I hope the Spurs give him a legit spot in the rotation this season and see what he does with it.

[TheDoctor]

I believe Ginobili started the splitting FT tradition
He was. He started that shit post 2012.

[$pursDynasty]

He was. He started that shit post 2012.
what's funny was we would keep sending him to the line for techs and I was like why when Manu is only hitting one of every 2 FT's back then. Then it seemed like Verde was our best FT shooter but he was and is icy/hot. Thank goodness for the KingSlayer, no doubt who we send to the line for tech's now.

I tried sling first and hated it. It had lags and picture quality is worse than ps vue and directvnow. Directv now needs a dvr big time.

Ps vue is clearly the best option and bang for your buck. Give it a try. You will switch.

Olivier Hanlan has been quietly flying under the radar. 10 points, 10 rebounds, 6 assists for a +14 impact overall.

He seems to be quite an efficient player.

But with the Paul signing. There's no more space for guards in this team.

Dejounte Murray's box score reads - DNP - Did Not Dress - Team Decision :lol Everybody else's reads DNP - Coaches Decision

No way would the Spurs intentionally hold out a project guard who needs to work on his game more than ever unless the Spurs are getting fed up with his off the court antics. His game is total shit right now.

Now that the Spurs don't actually have the talent or BBIQ to keep it going you're going to see some slippage.

That's just wrong man. Of course at times TD was the system and now Kawhi is getting to that point. But Pop most definitely implemented a system to maximize the talent he had and adjust to the way the game has transformed in general

[cjw]

It has to be playing mind games with Murray to have gone from starting playoff games for a conference finalist (in a bind) with players in a tremendous system to a disjointed summer league in a college arena. Feels like he was stretching trying to be "the man" instead of working through deficiencies.

Spurs need to use next regular season to develop Murray and see if they have anything. Chances are they're a top four seed regardless so develop, develop, develop.

[Hoops Czar]

That's just wrong man. Of course at times TD was the system and now Kawhi is getting to that point. But Pop most definitely implemented a system to maximize the talent he had and adjust to the way the game has transformed in general
He led the transformation with "the beautiful game" (2012-2014) then, he reversed pivot into some ISO/post up/mid range jump shooting hybrid game and the Spurs haven't sniffed the Finals since. He's turning into Jerry Sloan with his inability to adapt to the everchanging surroundings and the game is slowly passing him by.

Well they came close last season.. if you look at how they played GS, there was so much movement in that first half, and they were playing with such great pace. They were out running tbem and playing at such a high level.

He tried to go big and it was successful sometimes, but I think he's realizing the need to play smaller, hence this off season. He's definitely still able to adapt, but he's also willing to experiment, which seemingly last season was a lot.

First year with no TD, it's quite a change. They did pretty darn good and I think he'll learn from it this upcoming season

No, That's not it. See Forbes, Bryn

So they're letting it ride with Forbes to see if he's worth holding onto (or seeing if someone wants to trade a pick for him)?

Murray's benching has nothing to do with him wanting to be the "man". If it was, the Spurs would have benched Forbes for trying to be the "man" two games ago. SL championships are meaningless. I'm pretty sure the Spurs would care more about fixing their broken first round draft pick rather than improving some undrafted career Dleague player's trade value.

Forbes clutch as fuck. What if this guy turns into a poor man's Curry? I can see it.

If he somehow does, Goldenstate will get him too. Didn't he go to the same college as Draymond Green? He'll be on the phone with him trying to get him to the Warriors.

It would be great even if he was just seth curry good.

Something I didn't see discussed is how good Cady's hands are compared to the other bigs on the team. Dude also has a huge catch radius. It allows him to get to a lot of passes without losing his defensive positioning. Those two big assists by Forbes in the fourth yesterday would not have been points had he passed it to any big but Lalanne.
