Game Thread: Spurs @ Lakers -- Thur. (1/11) - 9:30/C (5:30am Riga Time)

[bklynspursfan]

Pope traveled.

Yup

[daslicer]

KCP playing out of his ass on the defensive end is frustrating.

[sasaint]

50Mills needs to go back to towel-waving.

[DAF86]

If Mills is not going to make wide ass open threes he can get the fuck out, tbh.

[SuperCam]

12:01 getting paid 50 million to miss every shot :bang

[cjw]

Patty is so damn worthless.

That Lakers run happened when Murray went to the bench and Patty came in.

At this rate, they’ll have to trade more than a first just to dump his contract.

[Spurtacular]

:lol That Addidas 'name dropping' commercial.

[duncan2k5]

If murray had this string of posessions, ppl would be saying how horrible he is...but older more experienced players like Patty shitting the bed, and ppl dont say anything, and Pop leaves him in...and now the Midget Corps is allowing more points than they score as usual

[NASpurs]

Holy fuck Mills

[Spurtacular]

Fucking Patty and his bricks.

[Darius Bieber]

Get Patty the fuck out.

[Robz4000]

Mills should save himself the dignity and retire. Dude is an embarrassment.

[BatManu20]

Please get Patty out of the game Pop... seriously

[ElNono]

Julio is gonna be insufferable tonight

[Darius Bieber]

Yeah, this Spurs team is a first round exit. Fuck this pathetic team.

[DAF86]

That's the dagger. We're not winning this one.

[sasaint]

Pop needs to bench 50Mills.

[SAGirl]

If murray had this string of posessions, ppl would be saying how horrible he is...but older more experienced players like Patty shitting the bed, and ppl dont say anything, and Pop leaves him in...and now the Midget Corps is allowing more points than they score as usual
I am with you dude.
Dijon still has things to work on and improve but I really liked his energy and effort. He definitely was better than Mills

[cjw]

KCP playing out of his ass on the defensive end is frustrating.

It’s because he’s gotten so many games off. Not for rest, but because he was in jail and couldn’t go to road games.

[bklynspursfan]

Manu saving us again

[NASpurs]

Manu :wow

[Ron Swanson]

WTF were you doing, Patty?

[Darius Bieber]

wtf was that Mills. I hope he never sees the floor in a Spurs jersey again.

[ducks]

Mills brings what ?

[BatManu20]

Lmao Patty Mills is soooooo bad my god

[DAF86]

The fuck was that? :lmao

[Trainwreck2100]

get him out of the fucking game\

[NASpurs]

:lmao Mills needs to go back to towel waving seriously. Motherfucker fleeced the Spurs.

[SuperCam]

worst contract in PATFO history :lol

[SpurPadre]

Goddamnit Patty. Sometimes he goes out of his way to be horrible.

[sasaint]

Patty sure handled that end-of-quarter well.

[ElNono]

I was watching Game 3 and 4 of the 2014 NBA Finals last night, and Fatty was so much leaner, tbh

[Robz4000]

I'm convinced that Mills quit caring about basketball once he got his contract. Dude has regressed beyond what he was when he first came to the team.

[tholdren]

I was watching Game 3 and 4 of the 2014 NBA Finals last night, and Fatty was so much leaner, tbh

Had more rest then

[MultiTroll]

Pau is a pussy but what a bullshit call.

[daslicer]

It’s because he’s gotten so many games off. Not for rest, but because he was in jail and couldn’t go to road games.

Yeah I just heard them say his jail sentence was finally over. I guess being out of jail is causing him to play inspired ball on the defensive end. He's giving maximum effort out there which is rare.

[cjw]

Patty being awful is the only thing everyone on this board can agree on

I wish they made NBA players weigh in like boxers

[duncan2k5]

then every 12th game, mills has a great performance that wins us a game, and ppl forget how trash he is...then we go into the playoffs and he plays significant minutes and lays multiple eggs...rinse, repeat the next year

[spurs10]

I was watching Game 3 and 4 of the 2014 NBA Finals last night, and Fatty was so much leaner, tbh You can buy a lot of Whataburgers with 50 mil!

[Spurtacular]

If murray had this string of posessions, ppl would be saying how horrible he is...but older more experienced players like Patty shitting the bed, and ppl dont say anything, and Pop leaves him in...and now the Midget Corps is allowing more points than they score as usual

Uh, read the five posts after this one. :lol

[NASpurs]

Pop going straight to Dejounte to start the 4th.

[Darius Bieber]

Pop going straight to Dejounte to start the 4th.

Hope that won't mean Mills finishes it...

[bklynspursfan]

Anderson failed attempt at the patented Manu pass. He can probably make that pass but he's just been off

[Spurtacular]

Luke Walton talks to his team like they're junior high players. :lmao

[tholdren]

Anderson failed attempt at the patented Manu pass. He can probably make that pass but he's just been off

Sa girl?

[sasaint]

Pop going straight to Dejounte to start the 4th.

Unfortunately that may mean that Patty will close. Then again, the way this game is going it may not matter who closes.

[tholdren]

Manu best spur

[SpurPadre]

Mr. Glass and Ma Touches need more help than this, tbh.

[NASpurs]

Fathead Jr :wow

[sasaint]

White!

[Darius Bieber]

White > Mills tbh

[spursistan]

41 year-old is best guard on the team :lol..

[Spurtacular]

White > Mills

[sasaint]

41 year-old is best guard on the team :lol..

Does not bode well.

[LittleCriminal]

I don't understand why they even pass it to Anderson when he's just standing at the 3 point line.. fukkin sux.

[bklynspursfan]

Brynsanity

[Spurtacular]

That was so obviously off of Kuzma. Two refs missing that call is inexcusable.

[cjw]

What does Forbes do that Fatty doesn’t? Take charges? Towel wave?

[Robz4000]

Looks much better without 50Mills out there dragging the team down.

[DAF86]

Just don't put Patty back in and we might have a chance.

[sasaint]

What does Forbes do that Fatty doesn’t? Take charges? Towel wave?

Forbes hits shots.

[Darius Bieber]

Looks much better without 50Mills out there dragging the team down.

:pop:Patty, get Dejuante out.

[sasaint]

Looks much better without 50Mills out there dragging the team down.


Just don't put Patty back in and we might have a chance.

Give him a towel and stick him at the end of the bench.

[hater]

Just don't put Patty back in and we might have a chance.

Omg Mills is 0-5 -11 with 3 TOs :lmao

Gad damn

[NASpurs]

In before Mills is brought back into the game for "offense" and the Spurs end up losing.

[Ron Swanson]

Magic and Chris Traeger

[NASpurs]

:lmao he's back in

[Keepin' it real]

6 bucks 6 bucks 6 bucks!

[Robz4000]

Fuck

[Ron Swanson]

Another shitty entry pass.

[Darius Bieber]

:pop:Patty, get Dejuante out.

[sasaint]

Fatty back in. Smh!

[FaM0us Skins]

Good play by Forbes

[Budkin]

Omg Mills is 0-5 -11 with 3 TOs :lmao

Gad damn

How can he be THAT bad. Good Lord.

[LittleCriminal]

Lol Shat Defense By Kyle Anderson

[Robz4000]

Forbes gonna brick his freebies per par.

[Mikeanaro]

Gaysol is a useless piece of shit.

[sasaint]

Anderson just doesn't want to shoot except as a last resort.

[NASpurs]

Bryn "Shaq" Forbes

[SpurPadre]

We could have a prime Nash and he'd miss his free throws in the 4th quarter.

[Darius Bieber]

Bryn "Shaq" Forbes

More like Bruce Bowen... Can hit threes but sucks at FTs.

[FaM0us Skins]

Smh

[BatManu20]

Fucking Patty

[spursistan]

Classic hump game..

[sasaint]

Mills assisting the Lakers again!

[NASpurs]

At least Patty is the MVP for one team.

[Robz4000]

That's game.

[Ron Swanson]

That dunk... holy shit.

[SpurPadre]

Incredibly careless passing...smh

[Spurtacular]

No excuse for these lazy passes.

[bklynspursfan]

Back to back lazy passes. Anderson had an open layup too, idk if he realized

[Amuseddaysleeper]

:lmao absolutely embarrassing, Pop just retire already holy shit.

[NASpurs]

:wow that was nasty

[cjw]

Forbes hits shots.

They even made the same exact awful pass!

[Darius Bieber]

LMAO Spurs getting totally fucked.

[hater]

Mills 4th TO :lmao

:lmao poop

[spursistan]

:lmao 50Mills

Worst contract in Spurs history..

[DAF86]

Just don't put Patty back in and we might have a chance.

Fuck Pop. Not seriously. Fuck him.

[daslicer]

If the Lakers win this game KCP was the difference maker. Frustrating as hell that this guy is playing like he's trying to win the DPOY.

[LittleCriminal]

Larry Nance Jr for Anderson! do it RC!

[TE]

Patty Mills doesn't look like he knows how to play basketball

[Darius Bieber]

Wolves will take the 3 spot in the West from the Spurs before the end of next week. Book it.

[ECOV]

:rolleyes

[Keepin' it real]

Fuck Pop. Not seriously. Fuck him.

Send mixed signals much?

[Ron Swanson]

Bonner gave those compromising photos of Pop to Patty.

[duncan2k5]

STOP BENCHING MURRAY WHEN HE IS PLAYING WELL!!!!!!!!! WTF POP???? Mills couldnt POSSIBLY play worse, and murray is having a great game...there is NO justification for playing mills right now over murray...yet pop rewards mills with MORE playing time...he is a hypocrite who blatantly plays favorites

[Darius Bieber]

Bonner gave those compromising photos of Pop to Patty.

Only explanation tbh

[spurs10]

Mills should pretend he sprained his ankle or something. Actually the least he could do is make a few shots to redeem his horrible play.

[TE]

I can only count one thing mills did positively while on the court. The assist to forbes

[SpurPadre]

Bonner gave those compromising photos of Pop to Patty.

And Kawhi pulled a hammy passing those pics in-between, tbh.

[sasaint]

Wolves will take the 3 spot in the West from the Spurs before the end of next week. Book it.

I don't think the Spurs seeding matters this season at all. They are just cannon fodder like most of the "playoff" teams.

[NASpurs]

Dejounte is back in. Good job Pop... smh

[Keepin' it real]

STOP BENCHING MURRAY WHEN HE IS PLAYING WELL!!!!!!!!! WTF POP???? Mills couldnt POSSIBLY play worse, and murray is having a great game...there is NO justification for playing mills right now over murray...yet pop rewards mills with MORE playing time...he is a hypocrite who blatantly plays favorites

Keep the rotation going. Trust the system.

[Spurtacular]

Fuck that. Refs giving the Lakers another out of bounds call.

[SpurPadre]

Lakers just streetballing their way into this one.

[bklynspursfan]

Ball was clearly off LA. My god

[NASpurs]

Senile old faggot lost the plot.

[duncan2k5]

Keep the rotation going. Trust the system.

no...learn to adjust...ppl arent robots

[davidbowie]

WE ARE ASS

[hater]

Ingram >>>>> Kawhi

[SpurPadre]

I don't think the Spurs seeding matters this season at all. They are just cannon fodder like most of the "playoff" teams.

Last time we had that mentality, we fell to 7th seed and lost to the Clips in round one. Seeding ALWAYS matters. I get what you're saying though.

[BatManu20]

This is embarrassing.

[TE]

Horrible

[LittleCriminal]

Game is over fellas...

[TE]

embarrassing

[DAF86]

I'm gonna pop a vain with this fucking game.

[Darius Bieber]

LMAO Where are all the Spur homers now??????? This team is straight trash.

[duncan2k5]

disrespected Murray again by benching him after one possession, then they IMMEDIATELY turn over the ball...pop needs to go

[davidbowie]

Big Baller Brand shittin on the wack ass spurs

[cjw]

Last time we had that mentality, we fell to 7th seed and lost to the Clips in round one. Seeding ALWAYS matters.

The 2nd and 7th seed were separated by a few games. Won’t be case this year.

Also, that series was lost when Splitter went down.

[Mikeanaro]

Pathetic.

[UZER]

If Nance was on the Spurs, his athletic ass would ride the pine all year. :lol

[Spurtacular]

I've never seen so many turnovers on swing passes in my life.

[davidbowie]

honest question, why doesnt pop play murray more?

[TE]

Fuck you Pop

[sasaint]

Last time we had that mentality, we fell to 7th seed and lost to the Clips in round one. Seeding ALWAYS matters. I get what you're saying though.

Nah. Not when you are in the playoffs just to fill out the field.

[Robz4000]

Fuck Pop and fuck this season.

[daslicer]

KCP was the MVP of this game.

[Spurtacular]

Fuck you Pop

[SpurPadre]

The 2nd and 7th seed were separated by a few games. Won’t be case this year.

Also, that series was lost when Splitter went down.

We have a much more valuable player down this time.

[DAF86]

The fuck are they doing? This is beyond pathetic. :lol

[duncan2k5]

makes no sense to play well...all u have to do is make pop like you, be cultured, and attend operas, and Pop will give you respect and playing time

[TheRemix]

Just tuned in for a sec annndddd im out lmao. This team is playing like a lottery team

[Spurtacular]

KCP was the MVP of this game.

Nah. The bartender from whatever club the Spurs were at 'til 3 AM, tbh.

[Robz4000]

Spurs have no chance in the playoffs tbh.

[hater]

This is one of the worst loses in spurs history tbqh

Lakers were prime to drop their pants few times this game but Spurs outshitted them

[sasaint]

KCP was the MVP of this game.

Easily, but Ingram, Ball and Nance all out-played us.

[spurs10]

When the worst team in basketball just kicks your ass it speaks volumes.

[Mikeanaro]

Was a 2 point game, WTF? this Pop thing to throw games away just like that.

[Chinook]

Somehow the narrative of this game is going to be that the Spurs lost despite great coaching. But Pop short-circuited the team a lot tonight. Killed runs left and right, benched folks playing well for folks turning the ball over. Called shitty OoB plays. Not his worst coaching job, but definitely one that most obviously cost a win.

[SuperCam]

75 points against shitty lakers defense :lol
mcfatty contract larceny :lol
poop thinking he's teaching the team a lesson with his tired schtick :lol

[UZER]

When the worst team in basketball just kicks your ass it speaks volumes.

New planets. Get over it.

:pop:

[NASpurs]

"a valiant effort" against a lottery team :lol

[sasaint]

... and no LMA.

[TheRemix]

The problem with this team is that the roster is different every single game. Someone is always hurt or resting. How is this team supposed to get familiar with each other if they can't run sets with the key pieces? Its all just a disaster

[duncan2k5]

If Nance was on the Spurs, his athletic ass would ride the pine all year. :lol

unless he drinks wine and watches the opera

[daslicer]

Easily, but Ingram, Ball and Nance all out-played us.

That's true but KCP set the tone for the Lakers on the defensive end. I felt every time he got a steal the Lakers ramped up their defensive intensity. They were starting to fall asleep on the defensive end in the fourth up until KCP got a few steals.

[DAF86]

Worst thing is that the Lakers played like shit and they are still going to beat us by double digit. :lol

[james evans]

[SpurPadre]

Will LMA ask for a trade now or does he care more about his touches since Mr. Glass can't stay on the court?

[Mikeanaro]

Every time Warrettes or Rocketters lose a game this old fuck says ¨LET´s LOSE TWO!¨

10-13 on the road lmao. That's trash. Fuck this team. The Pelicans have a better road record.

LMA is happy. In Portland he was inured to losing in the first round.

[sasaint]

The Rodeo Road Trip will be absolutely brutal.

[Chinook]

Spurs have no chance in the playoffs tbh.

Missing two of the top three scorers, the best playmaker and two best perimeter defenders makes this game pointless. But they probably do need to make a trade. There's no point in running a 12-man rotation when none of the 10-12 men can hold their own.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs suck, mediocrity, will get 50 Ws?

[Chinook]

ThIs is par for the course for him. Dude is killing the Spurs.

He's the king of calling a timeout in the middle of a Spurs run just because the other team scores. Spurs can score 12 points in a row but if that other team gets a put-back late in the clock, here Pop comes to sub guys out give the D a chance to adjust.

[BatManu20]

Spurs had 1 more assist than they had turnovers tonight.. Pathetic.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs play the three bottom teams of the NBA in a four game span.

Barely won against Sacramento. Lost by almost 20 to the Lakers. Hawks on Monday...

Spurs will lose to Denver for sure.

[UZER]

Yes there is. Because I say there is.

I don't think there's a realistic trade out there that can improve the Spurs enough for it to matter. Unless they salary dump Mills they might as well just stand pat, take their beating in the first round from OKC/Minny, and be forced to look themselves in the mirror. Might not happen knowing Pop's ego but this franchise under his watch the last 3+ years has made a lot of bad decisions both on and off the court.

[daslicer]

Even though he hardly played I did like what I saw out of Derrick White.

[ElNono]

I want Kawhi back tho... we're going to get rickrolled regardless, but if Kawhi isn't there, it gives PATFO an out...

Thats a good point. But they can do better.
They shitted the bed, coach included. Not sure what you can do about lineups with so many placeholders playing.

You were calling for the Spurs to lose to every team last year too. Chill. They are going to be able to beat those teams provided half their roster isn't on IR. I'd love the Spurs to update their roster, but they're probably going to have another year where none of the "smarter" teams will be able to take them down but Golden State.

[Budkin]

Does it even fucking matter anyway? No one is beating the Dubs for several years.

[Blackjack]

It's amazing how one can be so amazing at building a team and so deplorable at running it at the same time. #irony

[spurs10]

Shaq asking why the Lakers don’t play like this every night. They don’t play anyone this bad. :bobo

[BatManu20]

3-4 in our last 7 games and haven't won b2b games since Dec. 28th. Need to get this team healthy, and, more importantly, need our $50M man to start playing better... He's getting paid too much money and is receiving too much playing time to play this poorly.

[Robz4000]

I want Kawhi back tho... we're going to get rickrolled regardless, but if Kawhi isn't there, it gives PATFO an out...

I'm not holding my breath. Kawhi prolly gets shut down at some point this season.

[spursistan]

I want Kawhi back tho... we're going to get rickrolled regardless, but if Kawhi isn't there, it gives PATFO an out...
Which is why i think that Harden choke and the first half of the Game 1 vs GSW was the worst thing to happen for this team before last off-season..

Unlike last year there's no Grizz team for the Spurs to play in the first round. Every possible opponent they could see is better than last year's Memphis team by a good margin, and they barely avoided a Game 7 last year.

[Emperor]

Sell the team to Las Vegas.

[sasaint]

Thats a good point. But they can do better.
They shitted the bed, coach included. Not sure what you can do about lineups with so many placeholders playing.

The "placeholders" were pretty bad, but Gasol, LMA and Kyle - the bigs, and the regular rotation players were passive to the point of disappearing. People were complaining that Kuzma had more all-star votes than LMA. Hell, both Kuzma and Nance looked like better players than LMA tonight.

[Chinook]

So?

The Spurs won't get out of the first round this season if they play Minny or OKC.

[Chinook]

The Spurs won't get out of the first round this season if they play Minny or OKC.

They got out of the second round last year playing a better team than either. Right now, they aren't even slated to play those teams in the first round. But if they do, they'll beat them.

[mexicanjunior]

I hate this team...fuck this season...

Kyle has been passive since the 76ers game. He’s had good moments but not enough.
Lamarcus and Pau have no excuses but without good PG play bigs usually don’t perform well.

[Robz4000]

They got out of the second round last year playing a better team than either. Right now, they aren't even slated to play those teams in the first round. But if they do, they'll beat them.

I'm not convinced Houston last year was better tbh. They play a very gimmicky system with mediocre defense and had limited star power last year. IMO a series between last year's Rockets and OKC/Minny is a toss up.

[SAGirl]

I want Kawhi back tho... we're going to get rickrolled regardless, but if Kawhi isn't there, it gives PATFO an out...
I was thinking I’d rather Kawhi stay resting or whatever is wrong with him so the rest of the roster is exposed and really evaluated, not covered up by Kiwi’s play, but you are right. If Kawhi is injured that’s the perfect excuse...

I really want mah Spurs to be better too.

[Darius Bieber]

This is the worst Spurs team in 5+ years.

[SAGirl]

Even though he hardly played I did like what I saw out of Derrick White.
He should be playing the minutes currently played by BP3. I think BP3 has had opportunities enough.

[sasaint]

Kyle has been passive since the 76ers game. He’s had good moments but not enough.
Lamarcus and Pau have no excuses but without good PG play bigs usually don’t perform well.

Yes, the PG situation hurt LMA and Gasol. But that doesn't affect the hustle stats. They were both very poor on defense and on the boards. They both also shot the ball poorly - especially Gasol. And Kyle was looking like he was turning the corner before his injury, but he has reverted to his passive self. We really needed him to be aggressive tonight. He had a couple of good moments, but was otherwise AWOL.

[sasaint]

[BatManu20]

From Kawhi..

[Robz4000]

This is the worst Spurs team in 5+ years.

Worst team since 2008-10, but it might be worse than those teams. Only teams worse since Duncan was drafted were the 2000-2002 teams.

[Nathan89]

50Mills with 0pts and 4tos :lmao
Overpaying a 6ft sg:lmao

[Darius Bieber]

Worst team since 2008-10, but it might be worse than those teams. Only teams worse since Duncan was drafted were the 2000-2002 teams.

atleast those teams had a competent back up PG in George Hill.

[SAGirl]

Yes, the PG situation hurt LMA and Gasol. But that doesn't affect the hustle stats. They were both very poor on defense and on the boards. They both also shot the ball poorly - especially Gasol. And Kyle was looking like he was turning the corner before his injury, but he has reverted to his passive self. We really needed him to be aggressive tonight. He had a couple of good moments, but was otherwise AWOL.
For Kyle, I think the have told him to focus on defense since both Kawhi and Danny are out. That’s basically his role right now and where Popwill really get on him. If they don’t care about what he’s doing offensively that much he can defer, unfortunately. They have Bryn starting to score the basketball basically, I think he’s taken it easy there, perhaps. If Pop wants more has to get on him. But I agree with you, he can be better.

Pau had a terrible game. I thought he was kind of bailed out by Davis against Sacramento too. I knew the Spurs were in trouble when Pau didn’t come out to play. It’s too bad Davis also didn’t look good.

Lamarcus set the tone of the game though.

But with all that, it still was a close game until the bench really screwed things up.

That nights elbow can be another game’s kick, another game, step on your footing the paint and bump, another game decapitation through a screen, another game hit you in the face nose bleeding grabbing a rebound etc. All injuries suffered by others still playing but if they happened to Kawhi it’s back to “sooner rather than later”. I am pretty tired of Kawhis injuries schticks tbh :lol

50Mills with 0pts and 4tos :lmao
Overpaying a 6ft sg:lmao

I'm not convinced Houston last year was better tbh. They play a very gimmicky system with mediocre defense and had limited star power last year. IMO a series between last year's Rockets and OKC/Minny is a toss up.

But can you imagine how FUN series between the Rockets and GSW would be?!?!

Even with all the criticism that can be laid on the frontcourt nobody outdid 50mills on sucking tonight

Should have played more minutes. Even though he was scoring well I though Bryn played too much and Mills probably deserved a benching (and his minutes were cut, but seems like not enough).

951705843266826240 I’m glad Manu owned it. The bench was murdered and cost us the game. It’s not surprising when witnessing Patty’s 0 pts, 4 to’s performance. Hopefully Murray earned himself the back up pg role. I love the guy, but he is not cutting it. It will be hard to move him with that salary.

impressive as Lonzo Ball who supposedly "can not shoot" is better than Murray in absolutely everything

In LA tonight to face a 13-27 Lakers squad who have won their last 2 games, including a home win over the Kings last night, after a 9-game losing streak. Second leg of a b2b for the Lakers, which should be advantageous for the Spurs. Kawhi and Rudy are Out, Tony is Doubtful, and Danny is Questionable. Game will be televised on TNT. Still, no excuses not to win this one against the team that is dead last in the Western Conference standings. Let's get it.

LMArsha didn't want us. Now we drafted Kuz, who I'd rather have over him both in the short and long term. Funny how things turn out. :)

A team without 3 starters because of injury is seriously wounded in the NBA.
