Game Thread: Spurs vs. Bucks -- Fri. (11/10) - 8:00/C (4:00am Riga Time)

[RD2191]

:lmao so predictable

[raybies]

good d patty

[BillMc]

Wow Boston came back and won that game after Kyie went down early. They were down like 20 pts, came back and took it by 3. 11 wins in a row for them. Impressive.

I'd love the hit to LeBron's legacy if the guy that didn't want to play with him anymore lead his team past Cavs in the East. Such fun drama.

[raybies]

that dunk :wow

[BatManu20]

Forbes!

[RD2191]

Mills is just getting abused out there.

[Robz4000]

Get Mills the fuck out

[BatManu20]

Ugh Patty having another game to forget.

[raybies]

we came into this second half on auto pilot...

[resistanze]

:lol fatty

[raybies]

there ya go Patty!

[boutons_deux]

14 TOs

[RD2191]

It seems like no one on this team can get off a shot.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Amuseddaysleeper keep making game threads until Fatty Mills dies

:lol

[raybies]

thankyou LMA needed that. knock em down

[bklynspursfan]

Just weather this mini storm.

[r0drig0lac]

gzuis

[Chinook]

Pop looks like a fucking idiot with the subs right now.

[bklynspursfan]

there ya go Patty!

Love the hustle there. Need more hustle and grit out there. And less turnovers would be amazing.... Especially the unforced.

[Robz4000]

Spurs can't rebound or shoot out there.

[raybies]

BP3

[Robz4000]

Put LMA back on Antetokounmpo.

[bklynspursfan]

Pop looks like a fucking idiot with the subs right now.

Not really. He took everyone out who made silly turnovers. Manu too. Lead is about the same tho

[duncan2k5]

Spurfan freaking out on Patty already lol he is what he is. You guys take it personal that he got his contract. If it happened to any of you scrubs you'd take it too. He'll be hot and he'll be cold. He's a streaky shooter. That's how he's been since we got it. He's in the game to close cause he's the only steady hand at point that we got.

Patty a steady hand at point?? Lmfao

[Nathan89]

100mil for two liabilities vs dynamic teams :bang

[Chinook]

Not really. He took everyone out who made silly turnovers.

That's always been really stupid. And it "works" below what you'd expect from just random chance.

[raybies]

Love the hustle there. Need more hustle and grit out there. And less turnovers would be amazing.... Especially the unforced.
what happens when Pop doesn't call a timely timeout...:rolleyes LoL
But he's saving them for the fourth it appears.

[duncan2k5]

He got 18 minutes because their incompetent backup is inexperienced and just as bad.

No way is Murray just as bad... At the very least, Murray plays good d

[marinoman]

Is Danny green hurt? Didn’t start 2nd the second Forbes did, then Paul subbed in

[raybies]

Is Danny green hurt? Didn’t start 2nd the second Forbes did, then Paul subbed in
he got taken out for to's

[DAF86]

He got 18 minutes because their incompetent backup is inexperienced and just as bad.

You can play other guys at PG.

[Robz4000]

Is Danny green hurt? Didn’t start 2nd the second Forbes did, then Paul subbed in

He started but Pop took him out quick for a dumb reason.

[hater]

Mills shitting himself

[raybies]

we despartely need a spark right now. time for forbes

[bklynspursfan]

That's always been really stupid. And it "works" below what you'd expect from just random chance.

It's been stupid in folks opinions, but we don't know what was discussed in the locker room. Probably emphasized playing smart and taking care of the ball, which was not done at all

[SuperCam]

getting spanked by the Freak tbh

[Robz4000]

Welp, here comes the blowout.

[raybies]

thanks manu we needed that

[raybies]

40 year old Manu working Snell

[SuperCam]

lol 56 points deep in 3rd qtr. warrriors score that much in one qtr :lol

[bklynspursfan]

what happens when Pop doesn't call a timely timeout...:rolleyes LoL
But he's saving them for the fourth it appears.

I guess so. Definitely could've used one there early on

[bklynspursfan]

How many open 3s are we gonna miss... Sheesh

[Robz4000]

Every miss is a transition bucket for the Bucks.

[hater]

Meltdown

Just put in Bertans and call it a loss

[Chinook]

It's been stupid in folks opinions, but we don't know what was discussed in the locker room. Probably emphasized playing smart and taking care of the ball, which was not done at all

And the hooks haven't made a difference. I don't care if Pop emphasized it. Pulling guys works even less than panic timeouts. And that's either true or not, not opinion.

[duncan2k5]

The reason why DJ got worse since the benching is because he is playing with trash... So there is no one to take the pressure off of him and allow him to grow like a rookie Parker had

[DAF86]

Hahahaha. Fuck these guys today.

[bklynspursfan]

Paul with almost 2 consecutive turnovers. Not like him, usually so much smarter

[Play Boban]

Time to tank.

[SuperCam]

getting shit pushed in by dellyscruba :lmao

[raybies]

take the lid offf, yeesh

also their anticipation is pretty good right now

[Robz4000]

Spurs look like a JV team against these Bucks.

[BatManu20]

Sperms rearing their ugly head tonight tbh.

[raybies]

Pop has forsaken them lol

[SpurPadre]

That's game

[r0drig0lac]

there is no doubt which team has the most talent

[NASpurs]

The Bucks are reading all of the fucking passes and plays and Poop's gameplan is to repeatedly change personnel. :lol

[Play Boban]

Spurs look like a JV team against these Bucks.
:cry

[DAF86]

It's been stupid in folks opinions, but we don't know what was discussed in the locker room. Probably emphasized playing smart and taking care of the ball, which was not done at all

Dude, why do you have to suck up to everything pop does? :lol

[dabom]

We still blaming Patty? :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

And the hooks haven't made a difference. I don't care if Pop emphasized it. Pulling guys works even less than panic timeouts. And that's either true or not, not opinion.

I think it has mixed results. It's worked before, and it's been ineffective before. Much like quick timeouts. either way, its been a philosophy of his for a while now. I'm sure it's not surprise to these guys. Just need to play better

[hater]

:lmao

Milwakee is so much better than spurs they are not even on the same league

[dabom]

Ya need to learn about basketball ya faggot cucks. :lmao

[TheRemix]

Its not the gameplan its the personnel not being agressive and not making shots.

[raybies]

Dude, why do you have to suck up to everything pop does? :lol
what's wrong in trusting the best coach in the game over knee jerk reactions from fans? tbh

[ElNono]

Hopefully we don't get blown out in the 3rd.

My nigga

[hater]

Antekatacumka going caca on us

[TheRemix]

Antetekounpo is a cheat code. If he ever develops an outside shot...watch out.

Would've been a great game to watch with kawhi playing

[bklynspursfan]

Dude, why do you have to suck up to everything pop does? :lol

I just tend to think he has a good feel for what he's doing out there. We've seen times where guys play like crap and he let's them rock and figure it out.

If he's pulling guys quick, it's likely because they had a certain game plan/strategy and guys screwed it up. I think the arm chair coaching on this site is crazy in general

[boutons_deux]

16 TOs can't score -15 in 3rd

[BillMc]

Worst game Rudy has played as a Spur, tbh.

[FkLA]

Spurs should come back and win this, imho.

[duncan2k5]

Spurs too old and slow to compete against dynamic teams... Ppl needs to get with the times

[DAF86]

what's wrong in trusting the best coach in the game over knee jerk reactions from fans? tbh

One thing is to trust the guy, another thing is to justify everysingle thing he does and act as if had never comitted a mistake in his life.

[SpurPadre]

Kawhi has no other option but to carry the whole team on his back... so much pressure on him while other superstars have loads of talent as teammates.

[daslicer]

Bledsoe has injected the Bucks with a lot of energy on the defensive end. They don't normally play this well defensively. Usually when a player gets traded in his first game he will have a great game or a terrible game. Spurs just had the misfortune of being the first team to play the Bucks with Bledsoe.

[boutons_deux]

Will Spurs get 10 pts in 3rd?

[raybies]

Spurs should come back and win this, imho.
feel the same. it's the bucks after all. They'll likely have a drought and we can't play any worse...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs should come back and win this, imho.

They won't. Too old, too slow, and have no length to battle the Bucks.

[BillMc]

Desperate team on a losing streak with tons of talent, Spurs look complacent.

[Trainwreck2100]

missed open 3s

[Chinook]

I think it has mixed results. It's worked before, and it's been ineffective before. Much like quick timeouts. either way, its been a philosophy of his for a while now. I'm sure it's not surprise to these guys. Just need to play better

"Mixed results" means it doesn't work. There has to be a consistent positive difference for it to be a positive strategy. Otherwise, it's just caught up in the noise. What is apparent is that Pop cares about keeping his rotation consistent, and these types of subs ruin that, both for the players taken out, and the ones coming in. You can't keep doing that for "mixed results".

[marinoman]

Comeback starts now

[raybies]

hellyeah anderson

[DAF86]

I just tend to think he has a good feel for what he's doing out there. We've seen times where guys play like crap and he let's them rock and figure it out.

Do you know he is human right? He can fuck up frol time to time.

[bklynspursfan]

Mixed results means it works sometimes. Nothing works all the time in sports anyway. He's been consistent with that approach

[raybies]

LETS GO PATTY

[TheRemix]

Wow finally patty you fuck

[NASpurs]

This ref :lmao

[SAGirl]

Kyle has played well tbh.

[bbarry]

This forum is pathetic. People overreact waaaay too much to one game :lmao

[TheRemix]

Sigh ruined our momentum there

[raybies]

great pass MANU

[Robz4000]

Manu is a man possessed once again

[duncan2k5]

Danny with the trash defense

[BatManu20]

Finish strong LA

[bklynspursfan]

Do you know he is human right? He can fuck up frol time to time.

Absolutely. I know he fucks up dude lol. I also believe he's got a good overall pulse with his team/players

[TheRemix]

Fuck!

[Robz4000]

Jesus Manu

[BatManu20]

Manu Forever

[bklynspursfan]

Manu with some big time plays. That BS call killed our momentum, but we got it back now. New game now

[r0drig0lac]

ginobili >>> father time

[TheRemix]

:wow ginobili

[raybies]

got it under ten and playing with a rhythm. gonna be a fun fourth. just got to come out ready to play!

[Robz4000]

ElNono warm up the thread

[NASpurs]

Still needing our 40 year old HOF to bail us out.

[hater]

Manures Mummy playing well. What a miracle

We still gone lose

[Play Boban]

:cry manu3333 :cry

[ElNono]

ElNono warm up the thread

how many he has?

[DAF86]

Absolutely. I know he fucks up dude lol. I also believe he's got a good overall pulse with his team/players

Well, it doesn't seem so because whenever folks in here express reasonable criticism about Pop's decisions you are always there trying to justify him.

[SpurPadre]

5 more Manu...

[weeks]

this team would be shit without manu tbh
scary

[raybies]

One thing is to trust the guy, another thing is to justify everysingle thing he does and act as if had never comitted a mistake in his life.
its called giving him the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure at this point he's earned it. I don't think I need to give an analogy for this...

[FkLA]

Pop benches an All-NBA defender for one mistake but treats this fat Aussie scrub like he's untouchable.

[TheGreatYacht]

Hope Rudy isn't starting to show a glimpse of disappearing against non-lottery teams....

[BillMc]

5 more YEARS Manu...

Fify

[Nathan89]

Meanwhile KA just hired mills agent.

[Robz4000]

how many he has?

15

[Chinook]

Mixed results means it works sometimes. Nothing works all the time in sports anyway. He's been consistent with that approach

"Working sometimes" means it doesn't work. You have to get a significant positive, or else it's just random chance. If the subs only result in a comeback at the same rate that leaving guys in does, then there's no reason to do it. It has objective harms that have to be overcome, so you can't just break even when you employ that strategy.

[bklynspursfan]

Well, it doesn't seem so because whenever folks in here express reasonable criticism about Pop's decisions you are always there trying to justify him.

Probably. This place needs balance. I mean what like 97% criticize (and honestly, go beyond criticize and go in to full on I could do this job better type talk lol) there's a small % who give him the benefit of the doubt. Sometimes he deserves it. Other times, criticism is warranted

[kaji157]

Quite the opposite, I would expect at least some of those to go the Spurs' way in the second half. The Spurs have been getting a ton of deflections.

Still waiting?

[Robz4000]

Rudy Gay killing momentum

[raybies]

there ya go Kyle

[r0drig0lac]

lmao Kyle to the rescue

[bklynspursfan]

its called giving him the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure at this point he's earned it. I don't think I need to give an analogy for this...

:tu

[Nathan89]

Strategies can also be beneficial long-term.

[bklynspursfan]

No goaltend huh?

[Robz4000]

Who the fuck is this ref?!

[Play Boban]

Senile poop throwing the game by taking Manu out.

[kaji157]

Just bad luck this game, things won't go our way it seems, should have been up by 15 at halftime.

[raybies]

hellyeah patty

[r0drig0lac]

Kyle the point forward ...unreal

[bklynspursfan]

Senile poop throwing the game by taking Manu out.

You'd rather Manu in now than finishing the game?

[raybies]

kyle is playing a hell of a game

[r0drig0lac]

Forbes for downtown

[hater]

Forbes has a 13 incher

[DAF86]

its called giving him the benefit of the doubt. I'm sure at this point he's earned it. I don't think I need to give an analogy for this...

No, he hasn't earned shit. Nobody should ever earn the right of being untochable from criticism. It's unhealthy to have untouchable guys on a working place.

[$pursDynasty]

Loaded magazine

[RD2191]

Forbes is money. Much better shooter than Mills right now.

[bklynspursfan]

LMA passing out of traffic.. he's been quiet, would love to get 1st quarter LMA to finish this game. Go back to beating these guys up

[Seventyniner]

Still waiting?

Makes more sense than expecting outliers to continue because some have already happened.

[Ron Swanson]

Sparty!

[DAF86]

The crowd bringing their A game.

[Rocalcio]

Kyle is saving us.

[raybies]

manu might have a no no going... shhhh

[hater]

Lamarcus has been playing great. Handing it out to players instead of settling for a brick

[SpurPadre]

Fify

Too bad Timmy couldn't do that too...

[Trainwreck2100]

Senile poop throwing the game by taking Manu out.

:lol he's like 80 years old how much you think he can play?

[Play Boban]

You'd rather Manu in now than finishing the game?
:cry

[FkLA]

LMA is better at finding guys off doubles than Kawhi, imo. More patient, remains composed.

[TheRemix]

Forbes & mills = Smith & Wesson

[raybies]

No, he hasn't earned shit. Nobody should ever earn the right of being untochable from criticism. It's unhealthy to have untouchable guys on a working place.
no one is untouchable, it's just discernment. There's a time and place for everything, but he's not senile like some would like to think. He's not doing anything differnent. It's the same stuff. By now you'd think you'd understand why he does things...

[dabom]

LMA is better at finding guys off doubles than Kawhi, imo. More patient, remains composed.

He is actually a terrible passer off the double. : lol

[bklynspursfan]

Greek freak will probly be back. Gotta continue cherishing that ball

[Play Boban]

Pop is about to inset a scrub into the lineup smh.

[DAF86]

Wait, so Forbes hits a huge shot and his reward is getting bench? :lol

[RD2191]

Why did pop sit Forbes?

[duncan2k5]

LMA is better at finding guys off doubles than Kawhi, imo. More patient, remains composed.

We don't watch the same ppl... LMA is horrible out of double teams... Loses his composure easily and throws bad passes

[Nathan89]

LMA is better at finding guys off doubles than Kawhi, imo. More patient, remains composed.

Lma has more mobile players around him. Kawhi has lma and Paul.

[raybies]

PatTY

[Play Boban]

fire pop

[Ron Swanson]

Nice pass from Bledsoe to Gay

[duncan2k5]

He is actually a terrible passer off the double. : lol

I domt know what he is smoking... Lmao

[DAF86]

Get Rudy out. He doesn't have it today.

[BatManu20]

Rudy Gay having a rough game. Come on Rudy!

[Ron Swanson]

fire pop

:cry

[r0drig0lac]

pnr defense is trash

[Play Boban]

:cry
:cry

[DAF86]

If Pop doesn't put Manu soon, there will be no game to put him back, tbh.

[BatManu20]

Bucks are playing their best game of the year, easily. They're not usually this good.

[hater]

Sure we lost but spurs made it a game

This was an almost blowout

[TheRemix]

This game is so winnable but we cant score

[dabom]

I domt know what he is smoking... Lmao

:lol

[RD2191]

This one might be over.

[r0drig0lac]

LMA is better at finding guys off doubles than Kawhi, imo. More patient, remains composed.

yep...yep...ok

[raybies]

If Pop doesn't put Manu soon, there will be no game to put him back, tbh.
I agree.

[Trainwreck2100]

open fucking threes

[SAGirl]

Meanwhile KA just hired mills agent.
He’s going to get paid by somebody.

[Play Boban]

Sure we lost but spurs made it a game

This was an almost blowout
:cry Moral victory :cry

[raybies]

Rudy -20 right eeesssshhhh

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Sure we lost but spurs made it a game

This was an almost blowout

Against a team that is two games below .500

[duncan2k5]

Kyle is so bad at defense... Ppl only pay attention to his reaches... If his man moves faster than 3mph and actually moves or drives on offense, he gets lost

[raybies]

hopefully that gets him going

[FkLA]

I'm a Kawhi fanboy and hes a far better player but not sure why y'all act like he is great at passing out of double teams. LMA is better at it.

[Robz4000]

Bucks foul like crazy on loose balls

[duncan2k5]

Pop has had a horrible couple years of coaching

[RD2191]

I'm a Kawhi fanboy and hes a far better player but not sure why y'all act like he is great at passing out of double teams. LMA is better at it.

Deport

[BatManu20]

Patty Mills just airballed a layup.

[raybies]

danny 6

[Play Boban]

Cut Danny Green. Pathetic!

[RD2191]

Patty Mills just airballed a layup.

:lol

[Play Boban]

Trump needs to deport Patty.

[Robz4000]

Just not happening tonight.

[BatManu20]

Someone tell Patty to stop shooting unless he's open pls.

[RD2191]

Mills worthless per usual.

[raybies]

wow somehow we come away with a bucket

[TheRemix]

Lmfao this game

[duncan2k5]

Are Patty and Pop having sex? Wtf?

[RD2191]

Gay is ass tonight.

[TheGreatYacht]

Wow Gay is fucking unplayable against non-lottery teams

[daslicer]

Against a team that is two games below .500

Against a team that acquired a 20 point scorer in Bledsoe.

[Ron Swanson]

Bullshit call

[RD2191]

Will bledsoe hit the game winner?

[raybies]

wow thats a bad call

[BatManu20]

Somebody make a shot FFS!

[Play Boban]

This team is spineless.

[bklynspursfan]

Ugh

[TheGreatYacht]

Fucking Fathead you useless fuck

[BatManu20]

Lol Kyle you dumbass :lol

[Play Boban]

Kyle Anderson is unplayable. Can't even grab simple rebounds.

[duncan2k5]

And they say Patty is more steady at pg than Murray... Gtfoh... Dude doesn't play defense, can't pass, and is a streaky shooter... Nothing steady about that

[RD2191]

Fuck

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Against a team that acquired a 20 point scorer in Bledsoe.

Who is 4-15 tonight, Keep going

[LittleCriminal]

Anderson fukkin sux!

He started the game off hot for them plus his defense intensity inspired the bucks to actually play defense something they don't do.

[Chinook]

Fuck you MVG

[Ron Swanson]

Didn't need that shit, Patty

[bklynspursfan]

giannis is far superior athletically, it's just unfair

Yea. Dude is just so raw offensively.

[BatManu20]

STOP SHOOTING PATTY THAT WAS A HORRIBLE SHOT

[raybies]

[daslicer]

Wow Mills did not have to take that shot.

[hater]

Hamburger Patty u suck

[SuperCam]

[SAGirl]

Kyle shitting on his haters on this forum ...

[Trainwreck2100]

[TheRemix]

Need to stay calm. No need to shoot contested shots

[DAF86]

I'm a Kawhi fanboy and hes a far better player but not sure why y'all act like he is great at passing out of double teams. LMA is better at it.

Kawhi isn't anything special, but LA sucks on that area.

[dabom]

Keep shooting Patty.

[Play Boban]

Just clear out for Manu the rest of the way. Get him his 20. I don't care if we win.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fucking sick of Mills continually shooting bricks every game. $50 million down the drain.

[FkLA]

Just lol at the balls on this fat scrub to take that shot. Lose some fucking weight.

[ElNono]

patty with the IIII waaannnaaaa beeee youuurrrr heeeerrrooooo, baaaaayyyybbeeeee

[Arcadian]

That block was CLEAN by Gay on Giannis. If we lose by 1, it's because of that shit.

[weeks]

until proven otherwise mills is not clutch

[Ron Swanson]

Danny shot that from New Braunfels. smh

[LittleCriminal]

Please take Anderson out of the dam game!
