The Wizards have enjoyed a mini-break since defeating the Pacers (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/indiana-pacers) 109-102 on Saturday and continue to play well with All-Star point guard John Wall on the shelf. Wall underwent knee surgery on January 31st with the Wiz just four games above .500 at 26-22; since then, they’ve improved to 40-30 and currently hold down the fifth spot in the East.
Meanwhile, Monday’s win temporarily propelled San Antonio into sole ownership of the fifth slot in the ultra-competitive Western Conference, although they now sit in sixth after another shakeup on Tuesday. They’d love to avoid another tumble by picking up their fifth win in a row tonight.
San Antonio Spurs (41-30) vs. Washington Wizards (40-30) March 21, 2018 | 8:30 pm Watch: ESPN & FSSW, Listen: 1200 WOAI Spurs injuries: Kawhi Leonard (quad) out
Wizards injuries: John Wall (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/295532/john-wall) (knee) out
First and fourth quarters — do that Against a Golden State team missing Stephen Curry, Kevin Durant, Klay Thompson and Draymond Green, the Spurs 12-point third quarter washed away their 49-41 half time lead as Golden State entered the fourth up 63-61. Fortunately, San Antonio, which scored 58 of their 89 points in the first and fourth quarters, urgently responded to quickly retake the lead, holding the Warriors (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/golden-state-warriors) to 12 fourth period points in the 14-point victory.
So, what did the Spurs do in the first and fourth that was distinct from the two middle quarters? Well, hold on to the ball, pass the ball, and, surprise, make baskets.
Livin’ on the edge The Wizards hold the fifth-worst point differential among teams currently destined for the playoffs at plus 1.4 points per games (New Orleans, Cleveland, Miami and Milwaukee follow). With six overtimes games this season, including last week’s big double overtime win at Boston, Washington plays it close.
No Wall, but plenty of support Despite Washington’s improved play without John Wall, it is something of a relief that the Spurs’ veterans won’t need to account for his speed in the open floor all night long. And yet, the Wizards still have the talent to come out of SA with the W.
Last season, Wall and scoring guard Bradley Beal (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/295534/bradley-beal) led the Wizards to a 49–33 finish and near seven-game upset of the Celtics (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/teams/boston-celtics) in the Eastern Conference semis. Beal continues to lead the team in scoring with over 23 points per game, followed by Wall at 19, and small forward Otto Porter Jr. (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/295535/otto-porter-jr) at 15. In Wall’s stead, Scott Brooks (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/99605/scott-brooks) has opted to start Tomas Satoransky (http://www.sbnation.com/nba/players/157952/tomas-satoransky), a capable guard with good size and ability to hit the three.
Keep feeding LaMarcus Washington’s had trouble containing opposing bigs in recent games, giving up 31 points to Boston’s Marcus Morris (who’s averaging 12 points per game), and 37 points to Minnesota’s Karl-Anthony Towns, 17 above his average. Thus, expect another monster game from LaMarcus if the Spurs’ shooters provide him with just a little operating room. San Antonio won both games last season, three straight, and 20 of the last 23.

[Chinook]

Important pivot game for the team. If they are going to win their way into the post-season, they can't drop games like this anymore. Getting the W suggests they can get back to that second tier of teams. Losing makes it more likely for them to drop to that third or even fourth tier.

[SAGirl]

They can take this game but the bench has to play better than they did the last game and I do wonder if Lamarcus will have a down game bc the team cannot afford it. They go as far as he goes.

[YGWHI]

I would be worried if it's a game on the road. Not the case. Home + Camo jerseys=Spurs win. :flag:

[superbigtime]

nice. damn those camo jerseys are ugly tho

[HarlemHeat37]

Wizards haven't won in SA since December 1999:lol

In a year where the winning road record and 50-win streaks are going to end, it would be a fitting time for Washington to end that drought..

Wizards have been tricky for the Spurs recently. Wall being out helps, but I expect a big night from Beal, and Gortat is one of those energy guys that may give LMA problems.

Need wins. Get wins.

[boutons_deux]

Unlike the Spurs, the Wiz have a winning road record, 20 - 15

[Budkin]

This season has been a crapshoot but I think we win this one.

[Hoops Czar]

No Wall for Washington, no Curry, Klay, and Durant for GS the other night. Don't tell me the Spurs don't catch any breaks.

Lol this is nba talent. You bums on st get so bent out of shape when i say how bad these players are.... media hyped and you all fell for it

[phxspurfan]

Murray really needs more time in the G-League. Needs to learn how to run offense/ get them into sets

[MVPCues]

WTF is going on. Any of the Spurs on the court know the game started?

[tholdren]

Murray really needs more time in the G-League. Needs to learn how to run offense/ get them into sets

Hes so stupid he cant even run a fast break. He already blew one tonight

Anderson's game is trash. The only way the man can score is by drawing fouls on pump fakes. Smh

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Pathetic defense

[TimDunkem]

Mills literally just spread his ass on defense.

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi coming back will help Anderson at this point. Feel like he's been in a bit of a slump overall lately

This 5 on rhe court are a terrible combo offensively

I'd swap Fathead, his momma, his daddy, his brother Derrick, and Faggy Green for Kelly Oubre in a second.

Fathead is averaging 4 points over his last 7 games. I'm shocked that there's people that want to pay this make-a-wish kid, but then I remember this is the country that voted for Trump.

Hahahaha

Gortat looks like Zangief with AIDS.

Even with AIDS he has played all but a handful of games in 4 years. Meanwhile, our star averages less games a season than Anthony Davis because of a sore quad, sore hands, and tummy aches.

[Ron Swanson]

I think they're going to change Manu's 3 to a 2.

[TheDoctor]

Injuries don't pass in vain. Morgan Freeman looks younger than Kawhi tbh.

Mills always kicks his legs out on 3s and never gets called out on it. How many times has this faggot fallen on his ass after a chuck trying to get a call?

At least this time it was at the end of a quarter so we didn't get killed on transition D...

FIFY

[TheGreatYacht]

My man Kawhi does look hella old today :lol

[pgardn]

For a team with as many dissappointments we have had and lack of talent, especially at guard, we work hard. That's on the coach. Question game lineups, question overall team makeup and contracts, don't question Pop's ability to motivate players that can be motivated.

[tholdren]

My man Kawhi does look hella old today :lol
Off the roids

[Ron Swanson]

Horrible possession.

[Ron Swanson]

Nice hustle by Dijon to get 3 offensive rebounds.

[TimDunkem]

That's what a shooter looks like.

[TimDunkem]

And that is what a scrub looks like. :lmao Fathead

[vander]

mind boggling how bad the Spurs are behind the arc

[Ron Swanson]

Nice Timmy impression by LMA.

[paperboy77]

Even Van Gundy is applauding Murray's rebounding tenacity. All the while calling out our lazy ass spoiled Spurs fans. He said they should be giving him an ovation for the hustle (3 consecutive offensive boards!)

Then we wonder why we don't have other sports teams (Pro).

Seattle is going to love this team

[SAGirl]

Murray has been impressive.

[paperboy77]

Dude I love me some Seattle and the Sonics back then and I really hope they get a team soon.... just not ours. Love my Spurs but fans gotta get their heads out of their ass and support the shit out of SA. Gonna be sad if you are right.

Well just think about it... more naturally is feeding the big-man instead of giving it to a wing and ball hog. Traditionally and instinctively running the offense thru a big is more natural. That and at least LA has a personality. Sports are an emotional thing and it feels better when everyone communicates. #autistspursux

[bklynspursfan]

Dam Danny

[$pursDynasty]

If Kiwi were to come back tomorrow, do you actually think the team will just hand him the ball to iso, especially at the expense of LMA's touches? Kiwi would have to get in where he fits in and win back the teams trust. LMA has earned as many touches as he wants after carrying the team all season.

12 pt game with 2 minutes to go... what is Pop thinking tbh. He’s tanking?

It was all but over, wiz were playing their 2nd/3rd stringers too.

Annoying the defense fell off so much, but whatever.

You know why stat-conscious superstars hate playing for Pop? That crap he just pulled with LMA: getting yanked while on a roll with the game still undecided..

[sasaint]

It’s amazing how fast this team blows leads

I tuned in very late. Judging by how the bench was hemorrhaging points again in the 4th, we must have had a 40-point lead at some point.

Yay! Another win!

It was 19 or 20 points. It barely felt secured with the TO display and bad defense the 3rd stringers showed.

[jmard5]

Damn you see Manu hugging LMA as they walk off court in front of Kiwi???

Yup, saw that too.

[sasaint]

Yup, saw that too.

Whatever Kawhi's future holds, I don't think he cares about such things. Manu is just happy that he has LMA's coattails to pull him to the playoffs one more time.

Yeah Manu was giving LMA his props for another killer game. Kawhi was sitting right behind LMA when he was seated and joined in on some of the huddles. I’m sure he wished he was playing.

Thanks for sharing. That’s special. I think this group, having persevered through some real adversity has very good chemistry. It is Manu’s last season very likely, I think he appreciates LMA leadership.

Since Manu doesn’t care about a farewell tour and what he cares about is winning, going out on a positive note is rewarding. Making the playoffs and putting up a good battle after such a trying season is an achievement.

[HI-FI]

Really solid win. I like how the Spurs have been playing lately even if it screws up our chances at the lottery.


Won't probably cross to page 7 even after the post-game discussion :lol..

It was obvious this forum was dying last season. Even with Kawhi on an MVP tear and 60+ win team we could barely get to 10 pages per GT and around 15-20 in playoffs GTs...I remember in its heydays, ST would easily average between 20-25 pages in December regular season games..Seems like many old timers have bailed when Timmy retired...
I’m not an old timer like some but I post less than I used to for a variety of reasons. I thought the owners were gonna sell this site but it seems like they haven’t. They were probably just trolling per the par.

How many Spurs fans does it take to screw in a lightbulb?


100....one to screw in the lightbulb and 99 others to ask ‘When is Kawhi coming back?’

I thought it was gonna be 1 and 99 others to lament Tim Duncan no longer being there to screw it in. Your explanation is probably more likely.

Lamarcus is really carrying this team

The team certainly has better chemistry without Kawhi than with him. I don't think it's coincidence at all that the roughest stretches of the season have coincided with speculation about Kawhi coming back.

That's a really awesome gif.

On a side note, I was watching the full game highlights. I was cracking up on Gortat's reactions from the bench as Lamarcus did his post-ups. That guy's expressions are hilarious, lol. As you know, LMA was doing work with Marcin Gortat in the first half. It starts in about 7:48.

Noticed that too during the game and then pointed those out to wifey when the game highlights were being shown in the end.

:lol about half, plus have to account for a few pretenders who really want to steal the lightbulb and take it to LA, plus the Uncle not really wanting a Spurs lightbulb to begin with waiting for the biggest group to leave so he can unscrew that lightbulb right back. :lmao

Meanwhile your boy is may be little less eager to see Manu retire than you, or at least he knows better :lol..

This what Kawhi has been found severely lacking in unfortunately: At this stage of their career, young guys like Kyle and Dejounte will look up at and look for Manu and his example of leadership and demeanor--- not the bullshit the current "franchise player" is pulling disgracefully..

Anyone with half a fucking brain knows that manus playmaking ability and competitiveness is as rare as it gets. Yet 99 percent of the kids the nba is marketed towards would rather see a step back lebum three that goes in 30 percent of the time.
