GT Spurs @ Celtics: 6:30 PM CT, brought to you by the Towel Wave, 10/30/2017

[TimDunkem]

Patty has made some energy plays he had not been having lately. That is what he's known for just as much as his shooting.

50 mill for a trash hustle player. :vomit:

[TheRemix]

Brandon paul has been bringing it. Perfect pg for kawhi when he returns

[SAGirl]

Not really...One or two decent plays doesn't make up for the poor D and bad shot selection that puts them in a bigger hole...
I was looking at some bright side...

[boutons_deux]

38%

[TheGreatYacht]

*Shoots 2/8*

This is the Patty the Spurs have been missing TBH:flag:




























:lol such a shitty player evaluator. There's no way you're not Chinook's alt

[Leetonidas]

Patty mills shooting 31% from the field this season :lmao

[SAGirl]

Brandon paul has been bringing it. Perfect pg for kawhi when he returns
He has been really good.

[bklynspursfan]

Rudy or LMA will need to make some stuff happen here. Gotta get 1 of them going. Or even LDN if he can get a few open looks

[NameLess Scrub]

Patty seems to have forgotten how to shoot.
Kyle can't get the rim
Celtics offense seems to easy. Can't tell if moving screens or just too dynamic for the Spurs

[Uriel]

Spurs suck. What's new.

[TheRemix]

Fucking sean, so smooth so choclatey :lol

[$pursDynasty]

Why isn't Pop putting better defenders on Kyrie? Leaving Dijon and Patty on him seems like malpractice

[raybies]

I was looking at some bright side...
I'm with you

[bklynspursfan]

I was looking at some bright side...

:toast if shots aren't falling, effort has to be there.

[Hoops Czar]

Is it just me, or is Stevens's system superior to Pop's?

Pop isn't about X's and O's, he's about culture.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs suck. What's new.

[bklynspursfan]

There we go Patty

[NASpurs]

Andrew Monaco thinks Mills is playing great right now and giving the Spurs what they need

:lol

I really hate that hack.

[duncan2k5]

This is how it looks when no one on the team can penetrate

[bklynspursfan]

Alrighty now

[Spurtacular]

Pop isn't about X's and O's, he's about culture.

LOL. Are you being glib or are you seriously defending Pop?

[SAGirl]

They are still fighting in this game. It's not over.

[TimDunkem]

Patty cannot help but follow up the good plays he makes with bad ones.

[bklynspursfan]

This is how it looks when no one on the team can penetrate

Which is why they need TP back... ;)

[bklynspursfan]

Killer 3...

[raybies]

Paul reminds me of beverly... the feistyness and agility

[Hoops Czar]

LOL. Are you being glib or are you seriously defending Pop?

I'm saying he's basically Jerry Sloan 2.0.

[TheGreatYacht]

Green doesn't guard Irving and he's still getting lit the fuck up :lmao

Reputation awards :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

Dag great pass by Gay. Green almost knocked it down

[timtonymanu]

celtics making good plays at the end of the quarter again to get back momentum

[sasaint]

:lol

I really hate that hack.

Monaco + Renner + Mills + 2 firsts to Phoenix for Bledsoe.

[raybies]

Pau got a call thanks to the scream...

[TheRemix]

Marcus smart is ugly as fuck

[TheGreatYacht]

Green gives up ANOTHER open 3 :lmao

[Amuseddaysleeper]

That's game, fuck this team

[Leetonidas]

Spurs make a push and promptly fuck it up. Nice job

[TimDunkem]

Green doesn't guard Irving and he's still getting lit the fuck up :lmao

Reputation awards :lmao
Already been torched by Simmons, Hezonja, Oladipo, and Jaylen Brown so far...

[timtonymanu]

Rofl just what we needed. Again spurs are so good at losing momentum so quick. Went right back to messing up after Gay hit that 3

[Chomag]

Teams look so confident when playing the Spurs

[Darius Bieber]

That's game, fuck this team

[bklynspursfan]

2nd unit played far better. Any time the starters wanna show up would be welcomed

[NameLess Scrub]

Why isn't Pop putting better defenders on Kyrie? Leaving Dijon and Patty on him seems like malpractice

I guess because it's not the playoffs

[raybies]

Stevens coaching a good game

[Uriel]

:lmao Spurs

[NASpurs]

Monaco + Renner + Mills + 2 firsts to Phoenix for Bledsoe.

That's like ringing the Suns' doorbell and all that's waiting for them is a burning paperbag with turds inside.

Do it RC.

[dabom]

mke ur fts

[timtonymanu]

Spurs and Warriors fighting with close records again: 4-3 lol

[boutons_deux]

Mediocrity

[Chomag]

So where is this amazing defence people keep saying green has?

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

:lol Spurms

[xellos88330]

Give White some burn.

[sasaint]

Paul reminds me of beverly... the feistyness and agility

Seems much smoother and somewhat less feisty to me. But I love how this guy came from nowhere to fit smoothly into amSpurs system that reputedly requires a couple of seasons to grasp. Way ahead of schedule.

[$pursDynasty]

I would not feel safe with a 12 point lead with as bad as we are defending Kyrie

[TheGreatYacht]

That's like ringing the Suns' doorbell and all that's waiting for them is a burning paperbag with turds inside.

Do it RC.
:lmao

[Leetonidas]

Spurs are fucked. Its depressing thinking about a 3rd of the cap being tied up in 2 completely useful pieces of garbage

[dabom]

We can still win.

[Uriel]

I miss Kawhi.

[sasaint]

Give White some burn.

This is a "L" anyway, so why not?

[bklynspursfan]

Patty Neal...

[TheGreatYacht]

So where is this amazing defence people keep saying green has?
But he guarded washed up Wade well back in 2014!

[TimDunkem]

I mean, they can come back of course, but it's hard to win when you're not feeding your only scorer, aren't getting to the line, have only one consistent 3pt shooter, have no rim protection, and rely heavily on Flabby Mills.

This team has a lot of obvious holes with or without Kawhi.

[Leetonidas]

Really mills???

[Hoops Czar]

Stevens coaching a good game
As did Van Gundy and McMillan. See a theme developing?

[$pursDynasty]

We need a hero! The Spurs are holding out for two heroes.

[spursistan]

It is not that the Celtics have a big advantage talent-wise, but these are some instances when you could see how the Spurs have taken step back over the last few years in terms of overall IQ of the team and its execution ..

[NASpurs]

How are PATFO fluffers going to spin this shit show?

A) Growing pains
B) Tough schedule (lol)
C) Injuries
D) Team X always giving the Spurs their best shot

There's not enough :downspin:

[TheRemix]

I like the quick 3s from patty buuuuuuut he just can't hit shit

[Spurtacular]

I'm saying he's basically Jerry Sloan 2.0.

Pop is a top coach in the league. But it's obvious Steven's system is superior all the same.

And I'm not sure Pop isn't Sloan 0.5, tbh. But good comparison.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

It is not that the Celtics have a big advantage talent-wise, but these are some instances when you could see how the Spurs have taken step back over the last few years in terms of overall IQ of the team and its execution ..

There's also a lot more dead weight in the team than people would like to admit.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs are fucked. Its depressing thinking about a 3rd of the cap being tied up in 2 completely useful pieces of garbage

Unfortunately Pop won’t realize it until it’s too late again and in the playoffs

[sasaint]

That's like ringing the Suns' doorbell and all that's waiting for them is a burning paperbag with turds inside.

Do it RC.

Trick or treat!

[Leetonidas]

Another game spurs won't even hit 100

[TimDunkem]

How are PATFO fluffers going to spin this shit show?

A) Growing pains
B) Tough schedule (lol)
C) Injuries
D) Team X always giving the Spurs their best shot

All of the above plus "shots just weren't falling".

[TheGreatYacht]

Impossible to win with Danny green, Patty Mills, and Fathead helping the other team

[duncan2k5]

Which is why they need TP back... ;)

Didn't u see last year? Parker can't get to the rim like he used to... He doesn't suck in the defense anymore...

[Truth4sale$]

Spurs miss Dedmon more than they realize. It provided shot blocking and toughness. Spurs have none! Plus no emotion without Simmons, they just go through the motion.

[TheRemix]

So choclatey!

[bklynspursfan]

Paul is our best 3 point shooter.

[BatManu20]

BP3 carrying us

[timtonymanu]

Paul is like a smaller Stephen Jackson

[Chomag]

Sean Elliott is creeping me out right now lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Is anyone surprised that the Spurd bring in D-League shooting guards year by year, and they all outplay Green? What does that tell you?

[duncan2k5]

Gasol can't rebound I traffic for shyt

[TimDunkem]

Gay should've shot it, but why the fuck is D-League passing up his looks for spinning floaters? Who does he think he is? :lol

[SAGirl]

I haven't been able to follow this game... distractions at home, but just saw that BP33333

[mexicanjunior]

This is a .500 team, with or without Kawi...

[TheRemix]

Is anyone surprised that the Spurd bring in D-League shooting guards year by year, and they all outplay Green? What does that tell you?

It means that gasol is slow footed and cant rebound for shit

[BatManu20]

Aaaaand it's a blowout

[NASpurs]

All of the above plus "shots just weren't falling".

"They didn't have it tonight after that emotional loss to the Pacers."

"The team looked tired from this grueling four game, 2 week road trip."

[TimDunkem]

Spurs looked better in games without Kawhi last year. We're no longer deep or dynamic offensively.

[myhc]

The Education of DJ Murray. Growing pains folks, growing pains.

LMAO people were flaming me when I said Spurs would lose the next four games.... Look where we're at now? Fucking delusional Spurfan idiots. This team is trash.

He and Gay are the only bright spots tonight.

Spurs win 50 this season?

[mexicanjunior]

Kyrie fucking stinks dude. Not a Spur.

LOL...my bad, in Murray we trust... :lol

[raybies]

so darn frustratin. Pau misses two bunnys, Murray gives up two threes.

[TheGreatYacht]

Murray and Mills continue to be used as cum dumpsters by everyone. Haven't seen shit like this since I saw gambit1990 's mother behind Whataburger 2 years ago

They'll win a lot of games but this team are the Cavs of the West - absolutely awful without our elite game changer.

[BillMc]

Well, fuck a duck.

[NameLess Scrub]

Aaaaand it's a blowout

As scheduled.

Celtics just look to dynamic and energized for the spurs

[still.focused]

Shit Murray is trash
Just let Paul run the point

Tbh this is about what I expected and honestly I was expecting less than a .500 record. Doesn’t sit well with me though that the front office gave all that money to Pau and Patty playing the way they are. They have to pick it up.

[Leetonidas]

I try not to get too upset at these games. Spurs will look leagues better once the MVP returns

Gotta wait until January and don't hold your breath. Them loyalty contracts might as well have a no-trade clause.

Money on the FTs.

I miss #2 :depressed

[SAGirl]

It is not that the Celtics have a big advantage talent-wise, but these are some instances when you could see how the Spurs have taken step back over the last few years in terms of overall IQ of the team and its execution ..
Kawhi is injured.
Tony is injured.
Manu is resting.
A few guys are getting their first real minutes in the team.
They do have issues but no cliffjumping yet.

[TimDunkem]

Spurs kept the wrong players this off season, tbh.

[timtonymanu]

Brandon Paul is a fun dude to watch though. He looks the most poised of all the younger players.

[marinoman]

Well most felt we needed to upgrade the guard situation and it’s now pretty obvious we do but it’s too late

[Robz4000]

Kawhi isn't fixing this trainwreck.

Agreed. Tho they blew last night imo.

Kawhi needs to hurry up and come back. Against GS would be great

[Chomag]

I'm so sorry Kawai but it looks like the FO wants you to carry the team all by yourself again.

[sasaint]

Gotta wait until January and don't hold your breath. Them loyalty contracts might as well have a no-trade clause.

The Awful Truth.

[Uriel]

I liked the outcome of my 2K simulation better.

Hey, you trusted me. That was your first mistake. :lol

[Darius Bieber]

Eh why waste Kawhi's health on Golden State when the Warriors are just gonna win by 50+ anyways?

[TheRemix]

This. He's not scared to shoot and very savy and defense. Guy's legit

[SAGirl]

Brandon Paul is a fun dude to watch though. He looks the most poised of all the younger players.
He's kind of a veteran compared to some. Already 26 and played in several pro teams, but he's the lone bright spot here. He has earned minutes. Some guys have lost minutes in this game... others don't feel the "pressure" bc they got paid I guess.

[BatManu20]

Well, fuck a duck.

Meanwhile in Orlando, Simmons with 8pts in 12 minutes on 2-3 shooting early after the half :bang

Just rest him all season? Probably go 4-78 if they do.

6 minute quarter tbh

Ah ok :lol :tu

[bklynspursfan]

KA looked right at Bertans, thought he'd hit him for a 3

[cd98]

Layup 101.

Just wait till we get to Tony's loyalty contract. Y'all ain't seen nothing yet!

[unleashbaynes]

MVLauvergne? Shit all started when that dude rolled his ankle.

[marinoman]

Treat this like summer league and let Forbes take all the shots

[cd98]

Layup is the easiest shot in the game.

[bklynspursfan]

Rockets down at home to Philly too.

[TheRemix]

Just wait till we get to Tony's loyalty contract. Y'all ain't seen nothing yet!

:cry

[mexicanjunior]

Honestly, why bother playing Kawhi at all this season. The only way this team will improve is through a top 10 draft pick. Tank this effing year and get Kawhi some help this offseason.

[unleashbaynes]

So this is what it's like to suck. Huh.

[SAGirl]

I wished to have seen this guys get more time... seems like only when they were losing they showed energy.

[NASpurs]

Especially since the Spurs are loyal to a fault. They would never admit a mistake with players they're loyal too. PATFO is running with Mills and Pau until the wheels fall off.

RJ did re-sign with the Spurs and got his ass traded. That's gotta be hope I guess.

He was really effective down low cleaning the glass and altering shots

Davis can't protect the rim. i get why he doesn't get minutes.

RJ did re-sign with the Spurs and got his ass traded. That's gotta be some hope I guess.

Don't feel like they were really loyal to him though. Also he didn't have the ":cry culture :cry" factor.

#PlayWhite tbh

[cd98]

Murray is horrible.

[TimDunkem]

He was really effective down low cleaning the glass and altering shots

Sorry meant to quote Sagirl.

[TheGreatYacht]

Murray making Kyrie look like Pat Bev

[cd98]

Seeing the difference between lottery players and late round picks.

[Chomag]

Pop needs to stop being triggered over Trump and start coaching this team again.

[TimDunkem]

Davis can't protect the rim. i get why he doesn't get minutes.

He was much better last year next to a shot blocking big like Dedmon.

[cjw]

Davis can't protect the rim. i get why he doesn't get minutes.

He cant do anything except hit threes occasionally and surprise once a month with an athletic play. Of Paul, Forbes and Bertrans only one belongs on the roster.

[BillMc]

Houston, Cavs, Spurs, OKC and Dubs all having problems. Weird start to the season.

[bbarry]

Murray making Kyrie look like Pat Bev

A multi-year all star vet player, outplaying and outsmarting a 2nd year player. Absolutely unheard of in sports.

[SAGirl]

He was much better last year next to a shot blocking big like Dedmon.
I was just wondering why he wasn't playing... Still rooting for my team tbh. I'd rather go down with guys trying to fight than just with lackluster play like the past two games.

[timtonymanu]

Gotta wait until January and don't hold your breath. Them loyalty contracts might as well have a no-trade clause.

Seriously. You even have guys like Gasol saying “they treat their vets well here.” PATFO functions on loyalty now and overpaying declining players in the hopes of reliving their glory days. It’s essentially why we’ve kept the entire backcourt from 2014 ever since.

[tholdren]

Houston, Cavs, Spurs, OKC and Dubs all having problems. Weird start to the season.

Spurs dont have their best player

[cd98]

I also like to see Pop still coaching. He's teaching the young guys.

Dark times in the NBA. Why even bother these days when the same 2 teams are just gonna make the finals again.

I hadn't noticed

[tholdren]

Its shocking to spurs talk schmucks. They said he was a lottery player, just like fathead. Hes a project, getting worked by the lowest bbiq player in the game. Sad really.

Yup. 2 starters and Joff who was playing well too. Almost like Lee

[Truth4sale$]

Has anybody noticed, the Spurs have not won since Joffrey Lauvergne has been injured. He is the true missing link.

[bklynspursfan]

He definitely has value. Hustled on the boards and got good shots under the basket

[duncan2k5]

What can forbes do other than shoot threes?

[BillMc]

All mindless trolling aside, I wonder what's going on with Patty. Is this just a random deep slump? Has his shot changed? Are they defending him differently? Are the players around him somehow not setting him up properly.

It looks somewhat mental to me. Like he knows he's in a slump, so he's pressing which makes it worse.

[SpurPadre]

Dubs are gonna fuck us up the ass again without Kawhi and TP, aren't they?

[BillMc]

A Latvian player scored 34 and lead his team to their third straight victory. New Flash: This was not Davis.

[TimDunkem]

Dubs are gonna fuck us up the ass again without Kawhi and TP, aren't they?
Probably.

Hell, so are the Hornets.

[NASpurs]

I don't think anyone thought otherwise. That news flash is redundant. :lol

[Truth4sale$]

Teams need emotional vocal leaders. Spurs dont have that. Somebody to challenge the team, get the team fired up and play for pride. Show some leadership. The closest us coach POP and Manu, but it needs to be a younger player. Maybe DJ can eventually get there. But nobody right now showing those charachteristics. Other than Paul and possibly Gay, nobody came to play. The Spurs got beat in the paint,, no abused. Too many layups, dunks.

[BillMc]

I don't think anyone thought otherwise. That news flash is redundant. :lol

Hey we need a little mirth around here. :toast

All slumps are mental. Hes shooting better than manu. Its game 7.

He is getting good looks and has to keep shooting.
it's just a bad moment to be in a slump bc Spurs do miss his scoring outbursts, when they are also missing Kawhi's and Tony's. It's too much to overcome.
I am hoping he will bounce back. I saw some hustle plays from him that gave me hope he's not complacent. I remember him being streaky on the road last season too. There was just Kawhi and the team was whole to compensate most of the time, now it stands out more. I tend to think he will be fine eventually. I was hoping this was it, but instead BP3 had the awesome game. At least it was something.

Agree BP3 is looking like a real find. And as you say Patty just needs to keep shooting.

[Nathan89]

Patty's issues are beyond just shooting. He doesn't look like he belongs on an NBA court.

[Nathan89]

Also Celtics have 3 pgs way better than any of our pgs.

The Spurs have a ton of good young backcourt prospects . . .

You and Dex trying to spin these PATFO moves

Listen, it’s flattering that you seem to think about me so much, but I don’t swing that way, bro.

You’ll have to take your troll bait somewhere else.

Also Celtics have 3 pgs way better than any of our pgs.
I don’t want to sound melodramatic but we saw the same thing in the playoffs against GSW without Kawhi. All if the GSW Backup PG seemed better, and I am not talking about Curry, but all of Livingston, Ian Clark, McCaw all looked better than Patty. He was like the worst guard the entire series.

All mindless trolling aside, I wonder what's going on with Patty. Is this just a random deep slump? Has his shot changed? Are they defending him differently? Are the players around him somehow not setting him up properly.

It looks somewhat mental to me. Like he knows he's in a slump, so he's pressing which makes it worse.

1- he's a scrub
2- our bigs make the worst screens in basketball history, Gasol is really pathetic

I agree about the screens. Lamarcus also doesn’t like contact with screens either. I thought out of all King Joff did, the first few games, screen setting was his best skill. Lee last season was a great screen setter too.

:tu Probably the play of the game!

Rewatched the game last night. Murray basically gave this game away. Starting at 2:16 left in the second quarter he had like 2 turnovers that gave momentum to the celtics then he gets subbed out. Then Pop subs him in for defense and he fouls Kyrie for the 3 point play. He then plays like trash in the 3rd. Paul and Gay get us close but we couldn't get all the way back

Thanks for the recap. I am glad you are honest bc I know you like Dijon quite a bit and root for him but he made way too many mistakes. I don't know what Pop can do bc he was out of control for a while and Patty hasn't been playing well either.
