Game Thread: Spurs vs Jazz - Sat. (2/3) - 8:00/C (4:00am Riga Time)

[TheGreatYacht]

Best coach too apparently seeing as another of Pop's proteges is taking him to the back of the wood shed as been per par the course this year.
Swear to god I can't really remember the last time Poop beat one of his "protégés".... maybe Brett Brown when he was sporting a G-League team and Boban went Hakeem? Idk

[TheGreatYacht]

TP has 7 assists
:lol he's an Argie. Don't waste your time

[boutons_deux]

[bklynspursfan]

Boston can make that claim also. Heyward has played less than Kawhi. Luckily for them, their front office knows how to build a roster...

Hayward isn't their MVP, that'd be Kyrie. It's different to have a guy who never played than a guy who was THE guy the year before to be suddenly taken out of the equation.

How you don't see that Hayward/Kawhi isn't apples to apples is a bit mind boggling

[TimDunkem]

Kawhi is the main guy. We've seen less talented teams win due to chemistry, defense , 3 pt shooting, whatever.

Of course we have some flaws, but statistically the past few years, we've been the next best team behind GS, Despite their obvious talent advantage.

Can't judge anything this year. People are whining so much. Kawhi can come back hypothetically, play amazing and other guys feed off that. Even Gay who was a gamble, he can bring so much versatility. It's not as much as how they play without Kawhi. It's more important how they play with him. Cause without him is absolutely pointless cause they are at best a first round upset and definite 2nd round exit.

Now you're getting away from the initial point. No one cares about the past. No one cares about what the team can do at full strength. The fact is they're not at full strength and just suck right now. Why is that so hard for you to admit? No one is asking you to say the team sucks at full strength.

Oversimplified. Jazz are coming on strong. Silverstein definitely worried about a first round GS vs. Utah match-up.

respectfully we are going to disagree here, is not the result that matters, are the clear deficiencies of talent (an obvious failure of the front office), if Kawhi back in god mode again will be 2017 again with him overshadowing the shortcomings of RC and Pop

[SAGirl]

Mills is beyond worthless out there.
I mean... Pop is playing Hilliard at this point... he might get White out of the gleague at this rate.
whaaaat?
If the dude wasn't on a large contract he might not be playing more than Forbes' like minutes.

They did just beat GS by 30. Plus they've had injuries, so their record isn't that indicative of who they really are.

[TimDunkem]

Hayward is an elite player, man. Not having your second star matters. If LMA went down in game 1, you'd be pointing to it as an issue for why the team is struggling yet Boston is great without Hayward and you write it off.

Slurper of the highest order.

Watch out who you're calling lottery teams. The Spurs are just 5 games back of the 9 seed Denver.

Or not. Your logic applies to everyone but the Spurs, apparently.

34-21 with the easiest schedule in the league. That's embarrassing. Now it's the toughest from here on out :lol man I'm going to have fun bumping some of these old tales by the vanillas

I mean it's already been said they tried to make moves in the off-season. You're not always able to make that happen. I'm sure Pop/RC know they have stuff to address, and it sounds like they tried

Considering they paid Hayward the max, they were definitely planning on building the team around him and Kyrie (like Kawhi-Aldridge). You writing off Hayward as just some Kyle Anderson starter kit is mind boggling..

[r0drig0lac]

I mean it's already been said they tried to make moves in the off-season. You're not always able to make that happen. I'm sure Pop/RC know they have stuff to address, and it sounds like they tried
there are at least 10 players that were found in the 2 round / g league this season that would be 2-way wings more useful than we have now in bp3 forbes and Mills, not to mention the ridiculous contract of Gasol that can not play against teams real. so the front office has not tried enough

[bklynspursfan]

Sounds like the Spurs.

Or not. Your logic applies to everyone but the Spurs, apparently.

Utah lost Gobert and Hood for some time, i can't remember who else. Yet they have all this talent (in your opinion) and they sit 5 games under 500 in 10th.

They haven't had as many injuries as we have, and we sit in 3rd.

This team isn't elite without Kawhi. But they don't suck either. They're an average team at this point.

[Hoops Czar]

I mean it's already been said they tried to make moves in the off-season. You're not always able to make that happen. I'm sure Pop/RC know they have stuff to address, and it sounds like they tried

They spent all off-season chasing CP3's shadow. The Spurs FO were so blind that they couldn't see he was using their namesake as leverage against the Clips but had no desire to play here.

[bklynspursfan]

Considering they paid Hayward the max, they were definitely planning on building the team around him and Kyrie (like Kawhi-Aldridge). You writing off Hayward as just some Kyle Anderson starter kit is mind boggling..

Nah i never said that. I said Kyrie was their MVP and Hayward never played a full game with them. But nice try trying to twist my words.

It's easier to adjust to a guy being out when he's never played, vs a guy who was your system and your go to guy for a full season prior

[mexicanjunior]

The stuff they have to address is fixing their fuck ups this past off-season (Fatty, Pau). They bought the groceries to this shit sandwich...

[NASpurs]

Double teaming Ricky Rubio... what a time to be alive.

Hopefully LMA can carry this hilariously bad starting lineup

Kyrie never played for Boston either. So Kyrie is eligible to be the team's MVP but Hayward couldn't had he stayed healthy?

Remember, THEY TURNED OVER THEIR WHOLE TEAM.

Yet they're playing damn well. Better than us all while dealing with injuries (Kyrie and Horford have missed games too).

Maybe they're just more talented.

[SAGirl]

Dejounte, Bryn, Davis etc can't stop fouling

[bklynspursfan]

Kyrie has proven a bit more than Hayward, it's not crazy to think he'd be their best player coming in.

Rockets 97, Cavs 69 after 3. Rockets seeking to add a degree of difficulty through much of the third. Guess Harden is done with 16-9-6. Every Rockets starter has as many points as LeBron James.

Boston does have more talent overall. Sometimes it's like that. You can't have the best talent every year. Also having more talent doesn't guarantee anything.

Cavs got talent, but they're a shit show. We should feel fortunate we aren't as bad as they've been. And that's with arguably the best player in the league. OKC got talent, but you see how they started and the struggles they've had. Same with the Wolves.

[r0drig0lac]

damn humiliating

[TheGreatYacht]

The combination of Murray-Green-Anderson-Bertans might be the worst 4 man starting unit in NBA history

Kyrie has proven a bit more than Hayward, it's not crazy to think he'd be their best player coming in.

Kyrie played sidekick to LeBron in Cleveland and Boston paid Hayward with the expectation to build the same scenario in Boston. It's not crazy to think Boston (considering what they paid) expected Hayward to be their best player.

I'd argue that the Cavs are the same as us, but worse. An aging team that should have moved on from the holdovers long ago, but fool's gold has left them chasing something they could never attain with the current group.

Your original point was only Golden State could withstand losing their best player and play as well as the Spurs have. I still think Boston should be added to your list.

I mean they are banking on LeBron taking them far. And they're bad, but would anyone be really surprised if they are in the finals again? When you have a legit MVP type player with capable guys, i guess anything can happen. Sometimes that switch can be turned on.

Durant kinda made things shitty for a lot of teams, but it is what it is.

Just goes to show that what I said about only two good teams existing right now is right...

Also, if GS didn't have Durant, I wouldn't say the Spurs have a good shot with their current talent level.

Fair enough. I said lose their MVP and win 50+ games (which we haven't done yet but are on pace)

50 games isnt some big accomplishment either, but many teams even mostly healthy with talent haven't hit that mark. In some seasons

We haven't seen this team healthy so we don't know the potential. But i mean if Durant decides to have some competitive fire and not puss out, it's a much more even playing field. Even if GS does have more talent, they would be a helluva lot easier to defend if you take cupcake out the equation.

Writing is on the wall, bro. Our best bench player is a 40 year old, we have one playable big against GS, we're basically playing 3 on 5 with our starting lineup offensively, and I could go on...

[Brunodf]

Small lineup but none of them can shoot 3s. ..

less than 50 wins can lead to drastic measures, this would certainly be the best result

I agree. Maybe the most important ramification of the Dubs having Durant is the fact that consequently no rival has him.

But we should have Rudy off the bench, vs Manu having to be the guy. Pau doesn't need to play vs GS, he can play a few mins at most. And you could realistically play super small against them. You just need wings who can switch on all their screens.

We'll see, i think PATFO is aware of the holes they need patched

You feel comfortable with an LMA/Bertans/Anderson rotatjon against GS? Also, yeah, Gay is important but that isn't necessarily a good thing. He is hurt and his injury can flare up again after he comes back. I'm not comfortable with that.

Gays health was a big concern, but overall he looked good considering the time he was out of the game. If healthy, i like the potential he could bring. It's just another guy who can get his own bucket vs last year when it was mostly Kawhi and sometimes Simmons (on the perimeter)

Yes. That the team isn't consistently responding is why I wonder if there's something wrong in the locker room. He's been unable to push the right buttons frequently enough for a while now. But it's like he's all out of cards at this point.

that lineup is fine if they get hot but you can't survive for too long with 4 small guards and I do mean small.

[BatManu20]

This O'Neil dude of course having the game of his career against us.... literally. smh. Helps that we're leaving him wide open.

[r0drig0lac]

GSW would put up 150 on this defense.

saturday.....

[Spurtacular]

Put Anderson back in.

Nah. He wasn't doing much.

[TimDunkem]

Getting killed by some no name.

Shocker!

[NASpurs]

Yes. That the team isn't consistently responding is why I wonder if there's something wrong in the locker room. He's been unable to push the right buttons frequently enough for a while now. But it's like he's all out of cards at this point.

Gives me hope they'll make a trade if that's the case. Usually he pushed the right buttons and got away without needing a trade, now he looks like he's ran out of cards like you said.

Maybe the young guys hate his liberal views

[Ron Swanson]

Just like that, it's back to 9.

[DPG21920]

UTA on fire from 3. I don’t know how SA 3 possessions in a row can give up corner 3s. Unacceptable

[r0drig0lac]

another easy 3pt

[bklynspursfan]

Clearly off Ingles. But ok lol

[weeks]

aldridge with good forward position and forbes completely misses the chance to get him the ball.
ffs these guards

[Keepin' it real]

Save the day, Patty!

[Spurtacular]

Forbes in with the game on the line?

[Ron Swanson]

That should've been Spurs ball

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs are so fucked, horrible defensive showing

[MannyIsGod]

Officials are straight up bad tonight. This shit happens I guess but its frustrating in a season where we can't catch a break.

[Spurtacular]

Forbes in with the game on the line?

I guess I could take the risk if Parker wasn't in, too. Pop sucking on this line-up. Needs to be Bert or even Fathead.

[bklynspursfan]

aldridge with good forward position and forbes completely misses the chance to get him the ball.
ffs these guards

He also missed Manu next to him who would've either had a good 3, or drove and made something happen

[weeks]

Spurs are so fucked, horrible defensive showing
hard to play defense when the refs are calling EVERYTHING on you

[BatManu20]

Lol fuck these refs

[mexicanjunior]

Officials are straight up bad tonight. This shit happens I guess but its frustrating in a season where we can't catch a break.

Happens when they do nothing but swipe down and can't keep anyone in front of them...

[DPG21920]

They hit 3’s and we are missing. Feels like I can copy/paste that.

[Spurtacular]

Parker wouldn't have had to have got "creative" if he took the open 16 footer in the first place. Guess wasting 8 seconds was worth it, though.

[bklynspursfan]

hard to play defense when the refs are calling EVERYTHING on you

They been pathetic this season with us. It's like no Kawhi and we get no respect anymore.

[r0drig0lac]

Officials are straight up bad tonight. This shit happens I guess but its frustrating in a season where we can't catch a break.

when you have wings that can attack the rim, you are rewarded with fts, when you are essentially a shooting team (bad) the opposite happens, it is not rocket science

[MannyIsGod]

They hit 3’s and we are missing. Feels like I can copy/paste that.

Eh I feel our 3s are falling OK tonight. They are insanely hot though.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

They hit 3’s and we are missing. Feels like I can copy/paste that.

Spurs are just a shit offensive team, they can’t hit from outside for crap all season long. It’s who they are this season.

[Keepin' it real]

Lol fuck these refs

Lol Jazz broadcast saying calls going against Utah.

[sasaint]

Tony with a weak, dumb foul!

[ace3g]

LA Dunk!!!

[weeks]

i agree a disparity is probably normal but this is a team that has a well-earned reputation for rarely fouling

and look at the shit they're calling tonight, mostly BS that wouldn't normally get a whistle

[r0drig0lac]

lamarcus pnr..it's a miracle

[bklynspursfan]

Manu!

[weeks]

LMA stays earning that check!

[bklynspursfan]

Lol Jazz broadcast saying calls going against Utah.

Yea they are lol. Its so funny

[weeks]

:lol ricky durant apparently

[Spurtacular]

LMA going for fakes by Rubio 2 ft behind the top of the three line. Low basketball IQ.

[bklynspursfan]

lamarcus pnr..it's a miracle

Man, that Aldridge is so much better than the fade away Aldridge. He's a strong guy, idk why he doesn't use that strength more.

[BatManu20]

Stop falling for Rubio's up fakes! He's not going to shoot contested 3's smh

[ace3g]

all that and then a TO...

[TheGreatYacht]

Patty Mills closing over Parker :lmao

[sasaint]

Mills' TO was the nail.

[FkLA]

Fatty is just a POS, tbh.

[DPG21920]

Mills with the game killer

[r0drig0lac]

well...

[TimDunkem]

Mills

Sucks

[ducks]

Patty mills sucks

[BatManu20]

Patty... smh

[resistanze]

50 Mills smh

[Robz4000]

God I hate Patty Mills. Never thought I would but here we are.

[Spurtacular]

That's the second time O'Neale blatantly taunted a Spur after a basket. No T called. These refs are shit. I didn't want to go into conspiracy mode; but this is shit.

[TDTPMG21920]

Some low IQ players on this team smdh...

[timtonymanu]

:lol this fucking team. Converts on turnovers more efficiently than open 3s

[KDKSpurs24]

Get rid of Mills!!!

[SAGirl]

:lma

[Ron Swanson]

I'm just going to keep drinking.

[DPG21920]

This was one of the, if not the worst losses of the season. Just unforgivable performance losing to this Jazz at home when then are missing their players, on a back to back and giving up this many points.

Unacceptable on all levels and what a deflating, deflating way to go into the RRT.

[r0drig0lac]

Denver without Jamal Murray by 5 agains gsw..wow

[TimDunkem]

God I hate Patty Mills. Never thought I would but here we are.

I was defending his ass last year too. Most here would call me a troll but I was defending this useless fuck last year.

I'm embarrassed.

[TheGreatYacht]

Fucking seriously. Parker with 11 points and 9 assists and he's still fucking benched in crunch time over the aboriginal walrus.

Hope Crater face gets punched again and retires or this team is fucked for the near future

[SAGirl]

Nah. He wasn't doing much.
heh not what I said... you like these munchkin lineups cause I sure don't

[Hoops Czar]

You must have missed the Detroit and Dallas games.

[Keepin' it real]

Well, on the plus side, the Cavs lost, so the Spurs would still have HCA against LeBron in the finals.

[Robz4000]

Did you really expect anything different? This is who the Spurs are this season (and potentially going forward).

[MannyIsGod]

Pop runs that play too much now.

[mexicanjunior]

This was one of the, if not the worst losses of the season.

Pretty common statement this year...

[ace3g]

Go Denver!!!

[sasaint]

Well, on the plus side, the Cavs lost, so the Spurs would still have HCA against LeBron in the finals.

:lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Manure was absolutely horrendous defensively tonight. Dumbfuck fouls and allowed a career high to some Utah G-Leaguer

[Hoops Czar]

3rd in the west.

[sasaint]

Pop runs that play too much now.

I thought Manu could have just taken it to the hole, tbh.

[TimDunkem]

3rd in the west.

:lol

[BatManu20]

Patty's TO killed us. Along with our shit defense for 3 quarters.

[DPG21920]

3rd in the west.

They have done a great job, you are correct. This was a bad loss though.

[Budkin]

In a season full of shit losses, this one was right up there.

[TheGreatYacht]

Deformed ginger statpadding :lmao



1 assist as a starting center

[Robz4000]

Patty's TO killed us. Along with our shit defense for 3 quarters.

The defense was shit the whole game, not just three quarters. Hell, it's been pretty abysmal for a few weeks now.

[ElNono]

only caught the 4th quarter, tbh, looks like we were scrambling but couldn't get over the hump

[sasaint]

We are hemorrhaging and in dire need of a transfusion. No way this team wins 50.

[NASpurs]

16th best offensive efficient rated team just put 120 points on the road on the 2nd best defense
