Can we post NBA TV streams? The tv packages to get nba tv are ridiculous. I wish they would just offer their channel through an app or something.

GAME DAY BALLA GAME DAY!!

So glad basketball is back. Even though it's only preseason, its that beautiful time of year when you have the NCAAF, NFL, and NBA trifecta!

Historically no one has a problem with posting preseason streams, but its a :nope during the regular season.

Ahhh it's game-day!! I'll be watching the lineups closely, but mostly excited to see a team that wants to play together!

I agree with Dex. I’m happy the NBA is back and the fall is the best time of the year due to all the sports being back on television!!

I hope Walker, White, Bertans and Poetrl actually gets playing time this season.

I had no idea Wade re-signed. Especially on a one year, $2.4 million deal. Also, fuck San Antonio TV for not ever broadcasting Spurs preseason games.

Ego boosting goodbye tour. Wade somehow manages to be both under appreciated and overrated.

Have a blast dude!

I'd say the most ego driven shameless one I've ever seen. I used to be a huge Wade fan, too.

[NASpurs]

Hey Spurs fan in 2017! I’m from the future and let me tell you something. In 2018, Parker is playing for the Hornets and Manu retired. But the biggest surprise was that Kawhi becomes a malcontent and gets traded to Toronto, along with Danny Green, for DeMar DeRozan and Jakob Poeltl! Unbelievable right?

But seriously, outside of Manu retiring, imagine any of that shit being true a year or so ago.

[iGetbuckets]

Dragic. The spurs killer

[SAGirl]

some ugly basketball being played so far.

[szkorhetz]

So Pau is the new number 1 option?

[DAF86]

This lineup won't fly, imho.

[ace3g]

Derozan with 2 quick fouls...

[NASpurs]

Gasol being guarded by a midget and barely takes advantage. Great. Seems familiar.

[szkorhetz]

Gay is hot as Hell.

[r0drig0lac]

So Pau is the new number 1 option?

Gay

[baseline bum]

DeRozan looks pretty shit so far. Did LeBron go back to Miami or something?

[Nivek_ogre]

What an awful starting lineup

[BillMc]

We all worry about Rudy in the SL and he's playing by far the best.

[bklynspursfan]

DeRozan looks pretty shit so far. Did LeBron go back to Miami or something?

Probably nerves and it being the first pre season game and all

[BillMc]

DeRozan looks pretty shit so far. Did LeBron go back to Miami or something?
:lol

First game of preseason. we shall see. but I see what you see as well.

I already hate Derozan tbh

[Dex]

This lineup won't fly, imho.


I already hate Derozan tbh

Yes, because the first 6 minutes of the first preseason game will tell the story for the whole season. :rolleyes

SpursTalk being SpursTalk, tbh.

[gambit1990]

this is where manu would come in and snap the offense into place.

[r0drig0lac]

Demar!!!

[SAGirl]

DeRozan looks pretty shit so far. Did LeBron go back to Miami or something?
Ready ourselves. It turns to shit in the postseason as well.

[NASpurs]

Pop talks about Murray pushing the ball and the other players needing to keep up, yet starts Gasol. Great logic.

[ralph nyc]

I already hate Derozan tbh
why

[NASpurs]

Patty looking more and more like the Predator.

[iGetbuckets]

Forbes in instead of white lol

[DAF86]

Forbes in before White. :facepalm

[bklynspursfan]

Yes, because the first 6 minutes of the first preseason game will tell the story for the whole season. :rolleyes

SpursTalk being SpursTalk, tbh.

It's hilarious haha. Like you said it's Spurs talk being Spurs talk.

[DAF86]

Fuck, if White isn't going to play, Manu might as well stayed one more year.

[bklynspursfan]

Pop talks about Murray pushing the ball and the other players needing to keep up, yet starts Gasol. Great logic.

Preseason, game 1. Fwiw

[NASpurs]

Mills, Forbes, and Beli :lol

That lineup is going to have a defensive rating of 200+

[Ron Swanson]

:pop: White isn’t ready for this preseason.

[r0drig0lac]

lmao forbes

[DAF86]

Bertans showing up that D.

With some of the takes we see around here, it's hard to discern the sarcasm sometimes.

Bring back the blue font!

:bobo

[bklynspursfan]

The new foreign legion?

[Nivek_ogre]

Forbes adds nothing. One dimensional. At least white can handle the ball

[Nathan89]

If you squint your eyes it looks like June 2014.

[iGetbuckets]

Forbes sucks

[Proxy]

can't believe this team doesn't look ready for playoffs in this first preseason game, fuckin Pop smh

[NASpurs]

I can also clank threes and play questionable defense like Forbes. Pop should sign me instead. I'm available for a greatly reduced price.

[DAF86]

Manu would have killed it on that second lineup in place of Forbes. Return of the beautiful game.

[r0drig0lac]

four shooters on the court at least is fun (since forbes / mills / belli together are not defending anyone)

[SAGirl]

well... would have liked to have seen White...

[NASpurs]

Who does Derrick White have to kill to get Forbes' minutes?

[RD2191]

First unit looks old and slow. Gasol and mills are trash per usual. Should've been off the team a long time ago.

[Pavlov]

Manu would have killed it on that second lineup in place of Forbes. Return of the beautiful game.Are you going to be like this for the rest of your life?

[Seventyniner]

Who does Derrick White have to kill to get Forbes' minutes?

Forbes. Duh.

[kjhip1]

A lot of passing to get some good looks. Jacob Poetl is pretty active contesting shots. I have to agree that Forbes still looks like his normal self. Would like to see white with that lineup

[Nivek_ogre]

Hopefully Forbes plays his way out of a rotation spot.

[r0drig0lac]

wow gay looking good

[SAGirl]

Who does Derrick White have to kill to get Forbes' minutes?
I don't want to jump to conclusions but starting to have doubts about his skill at this point. Did he not look that much better from Forbes in camp?

[NASpurs]

Murray with the court vision :wow

[bklynspursfan]

Dam, Gay is looking good from 3. You can tell he put in a lot of work there

[ralph nyc]

muray is ballin.

[Pavlov]

lol Winslow chippy in preseason game 1

[bklynspursfan]

Again people, it game 1 of the pre season. Just be glad we're watching Spurs basketball again and stop reading so much into shit. Who's playing, who's not playing , etc...

They obviously got a lot to figure out, this game doesn't indicate anything..

[DAF86]

Are you going to be like this for the rest of your life?

No, I wouldn't even be like this right now if Pop would have played White instead of Forbes like you promised, tbh.

[r0drig0lac]

murray jumpshot again

[DAF86]

Loving Murray.

[Pavlov]

No, I wouldn't even be like this right now if Pop would have played White instead of Forbes like you promised, tbh.You'd be like this regardless.

lol pr:crymised

[iGetbuckets]

Damn Rudy

[Rocalcio]

Rudy’s knee... :/

[kjhip1]

Ha the one miss he has :lol

[dabom]

How'd Rudy miss that.:lol

[Texas_Ranger]

it's great seeing Rudy being 100%

[Dex]

Save some of that for the regular season Rudy! We need you healthy.

[kjhip1]

Did Rudy bang knees or tweak it?

[SAGirl]

No, I wouldn't even be like this right now if Pop would have played White instead of Forbes like you promised, tbh.
Yea, I had flashbacks to that conversation about him competing in the international Gleague tournament... /sigh

[gambit1990]

that dunk woulda been sick. poor job by la boxing out on miami's last score.

[8FOR!3]

Spoelstra coaches those guys up they run a nice offense. I think the Spurs have a lot of upside this year. DJ might have stepped his game up a level

[r0drig0lac]

White in

[SAGirl]

Dijon is competing, Derozan looks like a roleplayer... an afterthought

[NASpurs]

Mini Fathead sighting

[DAF86]

Forbes "defense". :lol

Murray’s JS is still so slow, hope they can speed that up in the years going forward

[Pavlov]

det promise tho

[r0drig0lac]

White with 2 tos

[NASpurs]

White has been a disaster :lol

[Texas_Ranger]

white looks like smaller kyle anderson... just what we need.

[RD2191]

White looking like shit

[Flawless]

White with the mishandles...

[SAGirl]

I imagine sometimes all those chucks will go in at some point, and sometimes it will look great but the bench needs someone who can get to the basket. It can't all be jumpshot chucking away.

[Dverde]

White showing loose handles on both turnovers

[Pavlov]

"It's because he played those two games" excuse incoming.

[Dex]

White's dribbles have looked worse than Murray's so far...and that's saying something.

This is why Pop needs to play him more so he can get those damn yips out...I can't imagine the pressure that he feels trying to get some NBA minutes.

[jeebus]

White being the piece of shit we all knew he would be.

[Beartrucci]

Tf is going on with White? Dude is choking crazy. All around Good Lord this is ugly.

[kjhip1]

Did Rudy bang knees or tweak it?

[jeebus]

Purdy doin work.

[TheGreatYacht]

We don't deserve Ferrari.

[Nivek_ogre]

White will be fine. Needs playing time. Glad to see Bertans rebounding the ball.

[SAGirl]

Did Rudy bang knees or tweak it?
I don't know. I'd like to know if he's fine, he was looking great until that happened.

(Can't be the Spurs luck to start with an injury to Rudy)

[Russ]

Poeltl is a rebounding fool . . .

[SAGirl]

Davis has been solid, much better than I saw last season

[TheGreatYacht]

White is so trash, slow, and ugly that SAGirl (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=49524) might bone him

[BillMc]

So who will be the first cliff jumper of the season?

[Beartrucci]

Really disappointed with White. Expect better from him after this. Those turnovers were just silly.

[jyra]

Pöltl with 9 rebounds in 12 minutes. :tu

[RD2191]

So who will be the first cliff jumper of the season?

0-82 tbh

[313]

I imagine sometimes all those chucks will go in at some point, and sometimes it will look great but the bench needs someone who can get to the basket. It can't all be jumpshot chucking away.we been saying this since manu decline. Simmons filles the role temporarily, but the only guy on the bench with potential to fill it now is lonnie walker.

[SAGirl]

The bench needs a playmaker.

[NASpurs]

So who will be the first cliff jumper of the season?

My body is already decomposing in the bottom of the cliff. :lol

[SpursDynasty85]

White showing his handles for a pg might not cut it. He could still be a good 2.

[skookumchuck]

Poeltl really fits the energy rebound role, like what I see.

[ceperez]

The bench needs a playmaker.

Yup and Belinelli isn't that guy!

[gambit1990]

rip spurs.

There's some in here already as you can see. It's classic ST. Overanalyzing, criticizing, etc...

Just enjoy the freaking game, it'll be a little bit before these guys get into a groove

[SAGirl]

we been saying this since manu decline. Simmons filles the role temporarily, but the only guy on the bench with potential to fill it now is lonnie walker.
well since it's preseason and jumping to conclusions is part of being a fan, and preseason is a time to be hilarious... I see either some lineup changes in the future or some trades. They need White to be better.

And frankly I now think that had Tony stayed, Pop would for sure have played him... angering people... but leaving me wondering what's up with White and Forbes.

[Chinook]

Loved what Gay did. Liked Bertans' D and Murray's O. You can see the potential in the bench unit, though having Forbes in there instead of White (or a real play-maker) lowers their ceiling quite a bit. The starters look okay. Neither DeRozan nor Aldridge are playing at full tilt, and the team is built on them doing that. Gasol has been fine on both ends, but his ineffectiveness against smaller guys will continue to undercut the Spurs' attempts to win with size. They should still be a good defense this year if they run that unit, provided they are disciplined in defending the three.

White looks bad, but anyone can have a bad game. Him being the bench's constant was probably too much to ask. And he's not doing a good job at even being the PG. Hope for a better second half from him. If he can find some comfort, he's going to have a disgusting number of options on any given play. Bertans did a good job at helping of D, and with Poeltl, it's possible that unit isn't as bad on that end as we think. Would still like to see one of the smaller perimeter guys replaced by a player with real size and heft. We'll see if Cun or the other combo-forwards can make a case going forward.

[BillMc]

it'll be a little bit before these guys get into a groove

"These guys" being the Spurs or ST Cliff Jumpers? :lol

[SAGirl]

Poeltl really fits the energy rebound role, like what I see.
yea... he would be much better with a good PG, but I liked both him and Davis... the guard play in the bench is poor.

[RD2191]

:lol Any chance we get a preseason game?

Nope

[skookumchuck]

it's possible that unit isn't as bad on that end as we think

Guess it depends upon whether Belli is the only under-par-defender in that line up, or we get Bryn, too. Poeltl looks good and Bertans is fine, too.

[BillMc]

Nope

Maybe lead for a quarter or two? All season?

[dabom]

I already turned this off. Can't wait for the actual season.

[Dverde]

Scorers going have to get past our Poeltl hurdle.

[RD2191]

Maybe lead for a quarter or two? All season?

It's a possibility

[gambit1990]

definitely downgrading my expectations. spurs will desperately need a defensive wing.

the team will be better with lonnie so there's that...

[dabom]

Scorers going have to get past our Poeltl hurdle.

Very good rebounder and plays good defense. He will be a top 8 player for Spurs this year.

[offset formation]

well since it's preseason and jumping to conclusions is part of being a fan, and preseason is a time to be hilarious... I see either some lineup changes in the future or some trades. They need White to be better.

And frankly I now think that had Tony stayed, Pop would for sure have played him... angering people... but leaving me wondering what's up with White and Forbes.

What's part of being a frontrunner? Serious question

[bklynspursfan]

"These guys" being the Spurs or ST Cliff Jumpers? :lol

:lol the ST Cliff Jumpers don't get the Summers off like the Spurs players do. There is no rust factor at all, they're ready to pound that keyboard anytime, open scrimmage, training camp, pre season, you name it.

[NickiRasgo]

Forbes shouldn't be there but of course, Pop will be always Pop. He'll choose to play Forbes over White or Walker.

[Brazil]

White is so trash, slow, and ugly that SAGirl (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=49524) might bone him

Sorry girl but that’s a :lmao

[BillMc]

:lol the ST Cliff Jumpers don't get the Summers off like the Spurs players do. There is no rust factor at all, they're ready to pound that keyboard anytime, open scrimmage, training camp, pre season, you name it.

Well, you've got to admire their commitment. :lol

[skookumchuck]

yea... he would be much better with a good PG

Well, we're in trouble then, since DJ isn't really a good playmaker, least not yet. And White might not get the minutes alongside Yak. But he brings enough energy to prompt Pop for a switch between him and Pau in the SL, so he could play with DDR.

[Brazil]

Also :lol spurs

[SAGirl]

nice play out of the half. White just missed the open 3.

[bklynspursfan]

No Murray?? Wtf Pop? Or Gay? Dude was lighting it up smh. Pop doesn't even care anymore, should've just retired.

[r0drig0lac]

white

[r0drig0lac]

It's a possibility

maybe against the kings

[SAGirl]

Whiteeeeee!
Thta's it young fella.

[SAGirl]

No Murray?? Wtf Pop? Or Gay? Dude was lighting it up smh. Pop doesn't even care anymore, should've just retired.
I know you are using humor lol
I do think he's giving White time to play with the good players to see how he does. The guy needs it.

But as for Gay, really don't know. Might just want to give an opportunity to Derozan to be the man... (I hope that is it and not an injury).

[Chinook]

Wow, did they reverse the continuation rules from last year? Whiteside hadn't even caught the ball when he was fouled. How is that free throws?

[iGetbuckets]

Jesus Derozan gets killed off the dribble lol

[SAGirl]

Poltl competes but one can see how he's prone to fouls

[SAGirl]

White!!!!!!!!!!1 much better young man.

[Flawless]

White deciding to play serious now, doing good now

[r0drig0lac]

White looks much better.

Ha.. it's absolutely humor but I'm legit surprised to not see someone actually saying that. Gay took a knee to his knee or quad (I hate to use that word here) but possible he's just done for the night with Pop's cautious approach.

There's going to be a lot of different lineups/combos in the coming weeks. People just gotta be ready and temper expectations that these guys will be in mid season form now, or that there's a set rotation just cause we speculate all summer who should play.

[NickiRasgo]

Spurs feeding White now. Good move to boost his confidence. He looks nervous during the first half.

[Ditty]

We will be contenders this year.

[NASpurs]

Poeltl Power :wow

[DAF86]

White is so much better than Forbes, it's not even close. I want to believe Pop will realize this sooner rather than later.

[SAGirl]

Poltl playing well.

[spurs10]

Much better starting lineup but White is playing much better now!

[Russ]

Poeltl just keeps chucking no matter what. And finally he hits one.

This guy has a motor.

Tim might do wonders at the practice center with him.

[kjhip1]

82-0 :toast

[BillMc]

It was nice of Toronto to throw in Demar when we traded for Poeltl

[NASpurs]

It was nice of Toronto to throw in Demar when we traded for Poeltl

:lol

[james evans]

I don't know. It's just the pre-season and this is the 1st preseason game I've ever watched in my life hahaah. I just want to see what we're working with. I just hope Popovich doesn't decide to start Gasol and Aldridge together for 82 games

[spurs10]

Small ball!

[SAGirl]

Ha.. it's absolutely humor but I'm legit surprised to not see someone actually saying that. Gay took a knee to his knee or quad (I hate to use that word here) but possible he's just done for the night with Pop's cautious approach.

People just gotta be ready and temper expectations that these guys will be in mid season form now, or that there's a set rotation just cause we speculate all summer who should play.Not surprised about the lineup change bc White needs playing time and preseason is precisely the best time to give him run. We already know how unidimensional Forbes is, but we don't know what White can really do since he has barely played.

As for Gay, yea, wouldn't surprise if he doesn't get back in. Good time to play Cunningham, Pondexter, Blossomgame and whomever else.

[NASpurs]

But seriously, hopefully Gasol just played his last minutes of the year. :lol

Rudy is fine good to see.

Cun

Cun comes in.

Not surprised about the lineup change bc White needs playing time and preseason is precisely the best time to give him run. We already know how unidimensional Forbes is, but we don't know what White can really do since he has barely played.

As for Gay, yea, wouldn't surprise if he doesn't get back in. Good time to play Cunningham, Pondexter, Blossomgame and whomever else.Surprise!

It was nice of Toronto to throw in Demar when we traded for Poeltl

Gay going to mvp

[james evans]

I think what we're seeing with Derozan is what we're gonna get. How often does a high scorer come to popovich and gets better? I really hope this isn't what we're gonna get all season.

Yea. Gay is back , so glad that knee/q*ad is fine. Curious to see some of those other guys

Rudy has looked great.

[iGetbuckets]

Get Forbes out the game yo

[ceperez]

Poetl looks like a steal!

[Texas_Ranger]

it must be nice being Forbes and be on an NBA team.

It's probably not, cause it's pre season game number 1, in a brand new system, with a brand new team/coach/system.

Bryn just needs to shoot the ball whenever he is open behind the arc. His dribble-drive game doesn't belong in an NBA game. If he can't reliably get set shots off, he doesn't even have a spot-role on the team. Like a worse Jimmer.

[NASpurs]

Wtf happened to Gay

[NickiRasgo]

Anyone here just realized as well that Haslem still in the league? :lol

[SAGirl]

that was a nice play from Davis to Forbes.

[Chinook]

Wtf happened to Gay

Seems fine. My guess is that Pop wanted to put Forbes back in but decided guys like Cun and Bertans needed more run than Gay. I'm pretty pleased with what Rudy showed so far, and the middle positions have a lot of players who need looks.

[james evans]

Exactly what does Cunningham do again?

[RD2191]

Forbes doesn't belong in the NBA. There's probably fans in the stands that can play better.

[dabom]

MVPatty with Game High +15. :wow

Jimmer was cut in camp and Bryn is on his second contract with the Spurs... I don't know what's up with that, but it's a fact.
