Game Thread: Spurs @ Clippers (TNT 9:30 PM CT/5:30 AM Latvia )

[NASpurs]

Manu with the anti-Sean Elliott

[sasaint]

Pop is a cancer.

This.

[davidbowie]

memorial day massacre LOL

[Play Boban]

Kawhi is a fucking faggot cuck ass bitch ****, fucking sitting on his lazy bitch ass like a cuck faggot prick quitting pussy, fucking clown ass pussy bitch, fuck him, piece of shit quitter
:wow Truth bombs :wow

[DAF86]

But fuck Pop, seriously. Manu has no bussiness being out there for 27 minutes closing games at the age of 40 when he hasn't Made a single basket all night long.

[ElNono]

we deserved to lose this game for playing stupid ball in the 4th...

[Spurs 4 The Win]

This.
Leonard is worse

[Ron Swanson]

Pop is laughing while talking to his dad.

[Play Boban]

Wtf 50 Mills

[bdictjames]

It was a good run guys. Tough times ahead, time to start a new streak next year.

[Robz4000]

This version of Pop is an absolute disgrace to basketball.

[ElNono]

that said, we're still going to make the playoffs... so no biggie

[Death In June]

The team tried. Imploded but tried, unlike Kawhi. Can't be mad at them for giving their best.

[TE]

New worst loss of the season considering the size of the choke, the 50 win streak, and the playoff seeding implications.

That’s just a slew of shitty happenings for this season...

Wow...

wow.

Giving up 41 points in the fourth quarter to this roster.

[ducks]

Clippers lead 48 seconds

[tbdog]

Mills hits a huge 3 then does a dumb triple team to leave River's open. That hurt.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Well that sucks.

[Keepin' it real]

Thrilling entertainment!

[Chinook]

Worst way for 50 wins to die imaginable. Well, outside of them pulling this against New Orleans

[Play Boban]

This version of Pop is an absolute disgrace to basketball.
He doesn’t have time to coach the team. He’s too busy running his damn mouth about the president.

[SPURt]

Like about 30 others this season.
Exactly. Sucking more dick on the road than Freddy Mercury in his prime. Fuck this.

[davidbowie]

cant believe i stayed up for this shit

[bbarry]

ahh fuck the streak. i'm over it. so meaningless.

[Ditty]

There goes any realistic chance of getting the third seed unless the Guests choke worse than the Spurs tonight. Please come back Kawhi...

[Chris]

Big turnovers for Manu nothing knew

[UZER]

Biggest play of the game besides rivers 3 was Manus stupid trying to draw a needless charge and giving up a three point play.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

He doesn’t have time to coach the team. He’s too busy running his damn mouth about the president.
Truth fucking bomb real talk, Pop is a pussy hat wearing bend me over cuck fag for all of the opposing coaches he faces, fucking douchebag crater face dimwit

[KuntryDude]

Now that's real talk. Rudy plays only 18 mins. Gtfoh Pop

[Chinook]

Damn Pop for giving into those Argie fans and playing Manu so much even though he was awful all game.

[TE]

cant believe i stayed up for this shit
Same. Gonna be dragging ass tmw during morning rounds.

Fuck :(

[NameLess Scrub]

STEPPED OUT OF BOUNDS :lmao

What kind of play is that anyway?

[ElNono]

Biggest play of the game besides rivers 3 was Manus stupid trying to draw a needless charge and giving up a three point play.

Non-factor. Giving up 39 points in the 4th quarter was the game.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

ahh fuck the streak. i'm over it. so meaningless.

Yeah no doubt. This fan base all of a sudden clutching onto regular season championship and records

[Chris]

If Warriors get Clippers in the 1st round :lmao

[BillMc]

I blame Kawhi. And Canada.

[SAGirl]

At one point one becomes immune to getting upset about these chokes. I thought Bryn had one of his best games of the season. For as much as Pop has fallen in love with him perhaps he could have played a little more in the 4th. Manu just didn’t have it tonight... though one cannot Gail his effort. He played way more minutes than it’s usu too. Team got lackadaisical after that big lead.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Non-factor. Giving up 39 points in the 4th quarter was the game.

41, actually

[sasaint]

New worst loss of the season considering the size of the choke, the 50 win streak, and the playoff seeding implications.

Yep. The heart of a... Choker. Hurts that they slump to new a "worst" on a regular basis.

[DPG21920]

Non-factor. Giving up 39 points in the 4th quarter was the game.

Ya - that’s what happens when you have a terrible Manu in the 4th the majority of the quarter.

[ismael-robert]

DID NOBODY SEE DOC SLIP SOMETHING INTO POPS COAT POCKET...why wasnt Gay playing he lost it for doc

[TDfan2007]

Frustrating loss, but this happens a lot when a team gets an early lead. This year reminds me of 2014-15. Couldn't get a break, tons of injuries and last-minute losses ending with a gut-wrenching finish. Can only hope our guys put up that much of a fight this year

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Leonard is dead to me

[ElNono]

Ya - that’s what happens when you have a terrible Manu in the 4th the majority of the quarter.

Manu was fine... not great, fine... Danny was much worse all 4th quarter... if he doesn't play the 4th we probably win.

The Spurs also forgot to go to LMA, and that's costly. That's not on one player either.

[tmtcsc]

Fuck’n Spurs. They blow a 19 point lead to the Clippers? Welp, no surprise, this is who they’ve been all year.

[Hoops Czar]

paddy Mills still getting pissed on by Austin River I see. Some things never change.

[TE]

:lmao Seriously

Probably one of the few stretches where Bryn should be on the floor more than Manu, this senile old fuck keeps Manu on when he hasn’t had exactly the sharpest outing.

[Biggems]

Mills chucking and missing....
Not enough aldridge in the 4th....where was forbes in the 4th, he had a nice run when he was on the court....needed more time for rudy as well.

[KuntryDude]

Pop (and only Pop) thought that Manu was outballing Rudy tonight. This dude has officially lost it

[ElNono]

What's really maddening is the constant lessons Pop get about fouling down 3, etc, and he just doesn't learn... it's a perfectly viable tactic if done right

[sasaint]

This version of Pop is an absolute disgrace to basketball.

Yep.

[ElNono]

Honestly, if Pop wanted more scoring, he could've played Gay for Fathead... so not sure what was on his mind, other than getting the ball to LMA... but that didn't happen either...

[hoopdreams11]

Anderson should have been on the bench has given enough games away late this year no one respects his shot and they are driving by him like a traffic cone

[DPG21920]

Manu was fine... not great, fine... Danny was much worse all 4th quarter... if he doesn't play the 4th we probably win.

The Spurs also forgot to go to LMA, and that's costly. That's not on one player either.

:lmao fine

[KuntryDude]

Time for everyone to stop with the "Pop is a mastermind" bullshit. The game has clearly outgrown this idiot.

[LakerHater]

43 FTs!!

[sasaint]

Mills chucking and missing....
Not enough aldridge in the 4th....where was forbes in the 4th, he had a nice run when he was on the court....needed more time for rudy as well.

Not enough LMA since the 1st, tbh. Lauvergne and Paul would have been better than Pau and Manu tonight.

[UZER]

What's really maddening is the constant lessons Pop get about fouling down 3, etc, and he just doesn't learn... it's a perfectly viable tactic if done right

He uses that tactic too. Only he uses it in the 3rd quarter when his own team is up 15 killing all their momentum.

He’s a genius.

[ElNono]

fine

yeah, fine... nice dodge of the rest of the post tho

[Gummi Clutch]

Manu was fine... not great, fine... Danny was much worse all 4th quarter... if he doesn't play the 4th we probably win.

The Spurs also forgot to go to LMA, and that's costly. That's not on one player either.
....and you're blasting my takes :lmao

Had gay played instead of Manu we win. But Poop is too obsessed with his pet.

[DPG21920]

0-6 shooting, 3 turnovers to just 3 assists and terrible defense.

[HI-FI]

Tough loss. I don’t know what pisses me off more, losing with questionable calls or losing to Austin Rivers. So this was a double barrel blast of shittiness.

[DPG21920]

Danny played far better than Manu GTFO

[Hoops Czar]

Manu was fine... not great, fine....

:lmao

[UZER]

What’s up with Manu always botching out other players when HE makes a dumb mistake?

Turns the ball over and starts yelling at Danny Green who was not even in the play. :lol

[Arcadian]

Spurs looked really good in the first quarter. They should play like that all the time.

[cjw]

What's really maddening is the constant lessons Pop get about fouling down 3, etc, and he just doesn't learn... it's a perfectly viable tactic if done right

He’s probably short a title for not employing that strategy. Bosh should have immediately been fouled in game 6. Literally all five guys were there with nobody out at 3 point line. You’d think a cutting edge team would come up with that idea. It’s the equivalent of holding receivers and taking 5 yard penalties in a situation where you’re trying to run down the clock and the other team needs a miracle. Prevent big plays and possibly get called for a penalty, and burn time while you’re at it.

[ElNono]

Manu was fine... not sure what you expect? He was rebounding, feeding LMA, stealing... he wasn't event sodomized by sweet Lou, nor is he longer a designated defender (even though he's probably the 2nd best perimeter defender on this team)...

He didn't score outside of freebies, but that's LMA's job. I'll take that work rate and level of activity over a basically ghost Kyle Anderson any day, tbh...

[sasaint]

That’s just a slew of shitty happenings for this season...

Wow...

wow.

Giving up 41 points in the fourth quarter to this roster.

Close games - even when you lose can definitely be exciting. But close-score choke jobs are just making me feel like I am wasting hours of my life watching this team. Not really exciting, and chokers, to boot.

:lmao quit trolling the new kids

[sasaint]

0-6 shooting, 3 turnovers to just 3 assists and terrible defense.

Manu?

[NASpurs]

Spurs lost the game when Tripod Boban was abusing Gasoft and Poop didn’t adjust. The was the beginning of the end.

[ElNono]

0-6 shooting, 3 turnovers to just 3 assists and terrible defense.

Only took 6 shots... he knew it wasn't his day for scoring and didn't force it...

Again, if Pop wanted more scoring, Gay was out there...

[ElNono]

:lmao quit trolling the new kids

I'm not trolling, tbh, I'm critical of Manu when warranted, tbh... even did it on this thread

[ElNono]

Spurs lost the game when Tripod Boban was abusing Gasoft and Poop didn’t adjust. The was the beginning of the end.

Yep... people have short memory, but I called we weren't done with tank commander Pau coming back in

[weeks]

We totally ignore for too much of the game the guy who still got us 35 points..and he went 20 mins without scoring in this game.
Why the fuck wouldn't you get it to LMA. Live and die with your best player

[Darius Bieber]

Can everyone now see why Kawhi wants to leave this sorry ass trash team?

[sasaint]

It just dawned on me that I don't recall seeing Dijon in the 4th quarter. Did he play any minutes?

[sasaint]

And if the players on the floor are too stupid to do it, call a time out, chew some butt and TELL them to feed him!

[ElNono]

yep, Spurs had two timeouts all the way to the last 30 secs..

[sasaint]

To play for a coach who actually knows how to coach?

[sasaint]

yep, Spurs had two timeouts all the way to the last 30 secs..

Yep, I pointed out at the time that Craterface had cleverly sat on his hands through the quarter to save those two until more like 10 seconds left. Ownership needs to save the fans from that senile old man.

[spurs10]

If we win out then we have to count on Jazz losing to the Blazers to have a chance at the 4 seed which we blew tonight. Jazz won't lose the Clippers and Lakers. Certainly will make getting out of the first round much harder. We can't win outside of Bexar County. Really blew it tonight.

[SAGirl]

43 FTs!!
Thought the Spurs were reffed too. They did foul a lot but it went both ways. The FT disparity was big.

Anyways it’s frustrating ... and not worth stressing over when
:pop: “it’s just b-ball, there’s olanets discovered every day etc”

[SAGirl]

Spurs lost the game when Tripod Boban was abusing Gasoft and Poop didn’t adjust. The was the beginning of the end.
Gasol was awful. At this point he needs to be the guy diving on the floor for a loose ball to justify his playing time.
He is getting 16 mills to play 10 minutes bc you can’t spare him any more than that!!

[SAGirl]

We totally ignore for too much of the game the guy who still got us 35 points..and he went 20 mins without scoring in this game.

Patty got hot and gave himself heat checks.
Problem was that he started ignoring LMA after that, even when there were mismatches. Pattys last airball he could have for sure gotten it to LMA who was briefly guarded by Austin Rivers.

[SAGirl]

Can everyone now see why Kawhi wants to leave this sorry ass trash team?
Nah. They would have won If kiwi was playing. It wa going to be another 60 win season with him. He would have closed this game out NP.

[SAGirl]

He lost his minutes to Manu...

[Hoops Czar]

they were only 5-4 with Leonard including embarrassing blow outlosses to Detroit and Dallss. They weren't touching 60 wins.

[SAGirl]

they were only 5-4 with Leonard including embarrassing blow outlosses to Detroit and Dallss. They weren't touching 60 wins.
With Kiwi having missed the entire preseason, having no chemistry and playing only 15-20 minutes.

[sasaint]

He lost his minutes to Manu...

Did he play any, though?

Pop has completely lost any feel for the game, for the right buttons to push at the right time. He is a slave to his old ways, whether they work or not. And when he happens to stumble on combinations that work, he seems to just completely forget about them. Sticking with Pau so long and Manu - especially so late - and not calling a few timeouts to stop the bleeding was the coaching equivalent of malpractice.

You are grossly underestimating just how bad this offseason was. Too much reliance on poor talent and old veterans to be better than last year.

Lee, Dedmon, Simmons > BP3 Joffrey Laughverne, Rudy Gay

2017 MVParker > 2018 MVParker

2017 LVManu > 2018 LVManu

No Bryn Forbes > Bryn Forbes 19 min/game

2017 Pau Gasol > 2018 Pau Gasol

Pop has never been a feel for game coach. He has a plan and rides it until the end

[cd98]

It’ll be funny when we lose to the Lakers yet again and then say it would be dumb for Kawhi to go join those losers.

[YGWHI]

Hes not injured
Who cares about what you think when he has real niggas that trust and support him...

981354400064131072

I just post this because you little troll hate hip-hop as much as Kawhi :D :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

0-6 shooting, 3 turnovers to just 3 assists and terrible defense.
Manure needs to be deported as well as all of his Uruguayan fans

[Clipper Nation]

Kawhi was probably watching that game and praying that the Logo trades for him. :downspin:

[John B]

Spurs had this game but squandered an 18 points lead. That’s Spurs problem all year, unable to close in the 4th. How many times Spurs had the lead and lost? And this to secure home court and send the Clips fishing. Geez

[Truth4sale$]

This loss was about POP being stubborn. He is so loyal to Parker and Manu. The end results is that you live by the sword, die by the sword. Win some-lose some. Parker and Manu stunk it up tonight, but sometimes their veteran leadership saves the Spurs. Or they play well after a day of rest. The Clippers game was not one of those games. Manu played too much and should not have been in the 4th quarter at all. Pop chose to sit Dejounte Murray, as if he is on some minutes restriction and go with the old, scoreless Manu. This was the result-a loss. Manu could not score, pass or even defend. Sure, Dejounte may not score, but his defense is great, he makes up his lack of scoring with rebounding and hustle. The refusal to stay with a hot hand in Byrn Forbes was foolish. His best game in two months and the 4th qtr bench was the reward.

[FkLA]

Thank go I went to sleep after the 3rd Qtr. What a bad loss smh.

i'm not sure if this was Pop playing what would be his playoff rotation. if it is, the spurs are definitely a one and done.

[TheDoctor]

Manure needs to be deported as well as all of his Uruguayan fans
Rofl :rollin

[BackHome]

Don’t blame it on Manu put blame on Pop for being a shitty game coach. They over play there old vets cause they now have a shitty bench so they have to play guys like Manu way to much. I would guarantee if White had played we would have won this game and that’s on Pop head.

[sasaint]

Pop has never been a feel for game coach. He has a plan and rides it until the end

True and truly sad. Perhaps (if I had been less emotional when I posted) I should have said he has lost whatever feel he ever had for the game - definitely little, if any. What I really wonder about is the dynamic of the coaching staff. Does anybody have a different feel for the game and the temerity to make in-game recommendations that differ from Pop's inclinations? Or are they all just Pop's sycophants?

Inclined to think they are yes men... Messina in the chances he’s had to coach has been ok for the most part... but very much like Pop IMO... except that I get the sense unlike Pop Messina is more traditional. Whereas Pop likes to experiment and throw weird lineups, some that I would criticize, I have also admired the fact that it is how Pop develops young players within a veteran team through the season and it’s worked out since they have never tanked and he has developed many young players the same way, even if they aren’t with the team anymore and have moved on.

Messina strikes me as a traditional Thibs style coach. He will play his best guys most of the minutes no matter how they fare and will experiment little or not at all. So in being a lot more strict than Pop, he doesn’t strike me as a guy that would enlighten Pop that much with in game adjustments. Messina would also ride Manu until the end for example even if it wasn’t his game. The only point I am unclear on is what Messina thinks of Rudy.

The other coaches I truly don’t know much in terms if NBA coaching. Think Borrego coached in Orlando and wasn’t anything to talk about there. I think Udoka is a Pop’s yes man. I tend to think Becky is the most innovative but she’s also the one with the least seniority. I do believe she would be different than Pop. I’d like to think she wouldn’t have left White in the gleague abd would be more proactive with youth over the culture guys, specially if the culture guys aren’t having good games, and I tend to think she would coach like her job is on the line more often. Until we see her coach though she might be overrated, though I do believe in her potential as a head coach.

[BackHome]

I hated her hire at first but to her credit she has done an excellent job of coaching summer league games.

Overrated? Not at all. She has a very good feel for the game. Poop, on the other hand, simply throws shit on the wall and see what sticks.

[$pursDynasty]

you know thinking back on this game I remember like 4 fast break opportunities in which we got zero points with Dijon and Peppermint Patty, I mean like 3 on one breaks. That probably cost us this game. That plus Lou Will went Nova on us.

True that happened in the Rockettes game too but the Rockettes weren't hungry to win that game so it didn't matter.

This happens every game. I post when it happens.

[Slippy]

Also patty eyeing off Lamarcus to take the final shot over Denadre after pnr switch where LA had Austin on him. All this directly in front of pop who stood calmly watching it unfold.

If i didn't know any better , you'd think pop wasnt fussed about winning, more about learning. As in Patty isnt a closer

Yup that was absolutely baffling to me. I thought Mills doubted his own ability to make that pass without it ending in a TO.

But the again Pop let Dijon take an off the dribble 3 in the Milwaukee game without calling a timeout to get a better shot. Part of the meltdowns is Pop.

Think youre right. Pattys shortness & lack of passing ability had something to do with it but still... there was pop leaning against a table, cool,calm & collected.
