[bklynspursfan]

I know there's 2 threads, but I felt like I wouldn't be doing my part as a Spurs fan if I didn't do this.

[Immortal Spur]

I'm with it. :thumbsup

[skin27]

Close this thread

[Dex]

At least this one has the correct times. :lol

[JeffDuncan]

Let both threads run. I'm feeling schizo today. Oops, sorry, the modern jargon is bipolar.

Go Spurs Go!

[Seventyniner]

Maybe the streams will cross and it will be a Pacers player who gets injured this time.

[Leetonidas]

Amused already made the thread. The hex has been cast :depressed

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:pop: get ready Bryn, you got olidipo tonight.

[bklynspursfan]

Maybe the streams will cross and it will be a Pacers player who gets injured this time.

:lol

[Dex]

Maybe the streams will cross and it will be a Pacers player who gets injured this time.

We need to save that luck for the Raptors game.

[Seventyniner]

We need to save that luck for the Raptors game.

Meh, Number 2 will find a way to hurt himself before then. And if not he'll make something up.

[Dverde]

:pop: get ready Bryn, you got olidipo tonight.

Amused's work is already done unfortunately. RIP DD.

[Phenomanul]

this one.

[DAF86]

Is it true that Forbes isn't playing?

[K...]

Is it true that Forbes isn't playing?

You read it in the forum, then no.


Here's kens from this morning: Spurs' injury report: Guards Dejounte Murray (right ACL), Lonnie Walker IV (right medial meniscus) and Derrick White (left heel pain) are all out.

[TDomination]

I havnt heard anything on Forbes. He should be active tonight

A second thread for those who are bipolar.

[TDomination]

Pacers are 0-2 on the road. If we control the boards and limit transition points; this will be a W

I'm hoping we sweep this mini home stand. Would be nice to be 5-1 after the Mavs game.

[dontouchmebwo]

Pacers are 0-2 on the road. If we control the boards and limit transition points; this will be a W

I'm hoping we sweep this mini home stand. Would be nice to be 5-1 after the Mavs game.

that just means they'll win :cry

Yeah, this just means they'll be that much more hungry to get on track on the road. Indy's a pretty good team. It's gonna be a dog fight.....again.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

For the record, I'm not posting in the jinxed thread. No offense to Amused.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

For the record, I'm not posting in the jinxed thread. No offense to Amused.

I dont post in game threads, but i want to put some good, healthy juju in the bank for tonight.

That fucking Poodle better start producing tbh.

[Immortal Spur]

esketit

[SAGirl]

Spurs are playing at home and will continue the hot shooting but Oladipo might just come back alive (he has been in a slump)

[r0drig0lac]

Gay

[RD2191]

Place is empty

[Ron Swanson]

Place is empty

They drop 143 on the road against Lebron and the Lakers and this is what they get for a home crowd. smh

[sasaint]

Lets win this one. Spurs by 5

You have a knack for calling 'em. So, I'm with you. GSG!

[RD2191]

Forbes looking decent on O.

[Immortal Spur]

lets go poodle

[Robz4000]

Painful watching this team play defense.

[emanueldavidginobili]

There’s not a fucking soul out there that can stay in front of their man

[Immortal Spur]

defense looks a little more coherent today... still crap tho

[RD2191]

Looks like Spurs are just gonna have to outscore teams if they want to pile up the wins.

[Hoops Czar]

defense looks a little more coherent today... still crap tho
Pacers are only shooting 64%.

[BillMc]

You have a knack for calling 'em. So, I'm with you. GSG!
:bobo

[Immortal Spur]

in this new nba, defensive playmakers are gonna be key. players that can take charges, get d boards, steals, and blocks etc... we don't really have one healthy right now

[RD2191]

Cojo!

[Hoops Czar]

Belinelli is unwatchable.

[phxspurfan]

lol


wtf is Mills doing just staring into space on D

[Immortal Spur]

Pacers are only shooting 64%.
im not looking at that. I said coherent meaning they have a semblance of an idea for rotations.

[Ron Swanson]

Ferrari!

[K...]

how can they be this good at shooting but so slopy at ball handling...this new fucking nba

[SAGirl]

Cojo!
GoSpursGo
oh wait...

[Immortal Spur]

bbb

[r0drig0lac]

Pau...

[RD2191]

This team is painful to watch tbh

[Spurs fever]

Gasol lol

[Immortal Spur]

pau rofl always good for a laugh

[SAGirl]

Gasol lol
:lol

[Chomag]

This shit lineup TBH....pop throwing the game already?

[Leetonidas]

Spurs defense once again non existent

[Leetonidas]

So tired of Pau's flailing and screaming

[james evans]

Gasol just can't grab a rebound around other players lol

[Chomag]

Paul back to being Paul...

[Hoops Czar]

Pau is just horrific.

[Ron Swanson]

Anyone else see the Coyote eat shit right before it went to commercial? :lol

[james evans]

So tired of Pau's flailing and screaming
well, we got 2 more seasons of that and I'm praying he doesn't get another legacy contract

[BillMc]

allowing 61 percent isn' gonna get it done.

[Immortal Spur]

So tired of Pau's flailing and screaming
it's kind of funny if you really think about it

[Arcadian]

Gashole

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Not only are the Spurs individual players horrible on defense, but tonight there is absolutely no effort on D. Not sure how much more I can watch

[emanueldavidginobili]

This team is so bland. No wonder why the arena is empty.

[Chomag]

Pau is just horrific.

Yep, I can't believe there are those that still defend him to this saying he is good for us. Pop loves him though so I guess that's good enough for some

[Robz4000]

:lmao this defense

[212094ever]

Sabonis owning Gasol's geriatric ass so far

[phxspurfan]

safe to say the Mills-Gay-Purrrrrrtl-Gasol-Beli lineup isn't working :lol

[Immortal Spur]

mills and gasol taking turns losing the game for us

[Chomag]

That dude can't even hit a 2 foot shot right now...

[Hoops Czar]

Game turned when Paddy and Pau entered the gfame.

[K...]

Let's just let them shoot till they get tired,, then blam Patty Mills game winner

[RD2191]

I don't understand why PATFO is so reluctant to blow it up. This team is going nowhere fast.

[r0drig0lac]

Gasol is not playable in the nba today, the sooner people understand it, the better.

[r0drig0lac]

Yep, I can't believe there are those that still defend him to this saying he is good for us. Pop loves him though so I guess that's good enough for some

bu bu bu rim protector, bu bu bu advanced stats...

[Chomag]

We should be used to having useless players in the active line up by now though...

[K...]

Sigh, Indiana is probably a top five team. We're top 20 at best

[Hoops Czar]

Poodle getting bitch slapped all over the court.

[james evans]

bullshit. should have been an and1

[Jordan Jackson]

Pau and Patty putting in work...for the other team.

[r0drig0lac]

one of these teams on the court is athletic

[SAGirl]

Pau and Patty putting in work...for the other team.
:lol

[james evans]

I hope this isn't one of those qurters in which Aldridge forgets how big he is and chooses to shoot fadeaways

[r0drig0lac]

Sigh, Indiana is probably a top five team. We're top 20 at best

no, they do not, and that's the worrying part

[Robz4000]

Sigh, Indiana is probably a top five team. We're top 20 at best

Indiana is a middling playoff team at best.

[SAGirl]

Man CoJo really wants it. Have to be happy for someone in this game

[RD2191]

RIP Bertans

[james evans]

how the fuck did Belinelli get a technical?

[BillMc]

Well, time to find the meds.

[james evans]

RIP Bertans
he was trying to get his dunk back though hahaha

[Spurs fever]

The Spurs look tired.

[K...]

no, they do not, and that's the worrying part


Indiana is a middling playoff team at best.

It's the new NBA

[james evans]

Sigh, Indiana is probably a top five team. We're top 20 at best
hell no. they aren't a top 5 team haha. they arent even top 5 in the east

[Hoops Czar]

B-b-but Kawhi Leonard was hindering the offense CROFL.

[RD2191]

This is historically bad defense:lol

[james evans]

another game in which a team just can't miss from 3

[RD2191]

B-b-but Kawhi Leonard was hindering the offense CROFL.

Tbh:lol

[Spurs fever]

This is historically bad defense:lol

Yup.

[NASpurs]

Just got here and looked at the score. Jesus Christ :lol

[Ditty]

This is why I don’t pay money to watch this terrible team play

[james evans]

This is historically bad defense:lol
I don't even think Kawhi with us this season would help. We got rid of our top 2 defenders hahaha.

[K...]

no, they do not, and that's the worrying part


Just got here and looked at the score. Jesus Christ :lol

Nah it's worse than the score let's on

[Dre_7]

I don't even think Kawhi with us this season would help. We got rid of our top 2 defenders hahaha.

Top 4 actually

[Immortal Spur]

don't seem to have the legs tonight... defense sucks but they are making slightly better rotations, never the less, just a run away from making it close.

[Immortal Spur]

Nah it's worse than the score let's on
actually.

[r0drig0lac]

I don't even think Kawhi with us this season would help. We got rid of our top 2 defenders hahaha.

what? kawhi alone would make this team a force

[NASpurs]

At least the Rockets are losing *shrugs*

[K...]

LMA had been on a long break

[BillMc]

This is historically bad defense:lol

Maginot line defended better.

[Immortal Spur]

Bryn actually looks like an NBA player.

[Ron Swanson]

Bogdanovich just took Pau to the hole. :lol

[K...]

Oh shit how did that little runt Mills get back in?

[NASpurs]

Do I spy with my little eye a Forbes and Patty backcourt again ? Tank Commander Pop leading the charge

[james evans]

Gasol is worthless on both sides of the ball

[Immortal Spur]

patty and gaol back in... sheesh

[Ron Swanson]

Just heard someone yell "I GOT 5 ON IT!" :lol

[RD2191]

California love Crofl

[Robz4000]

Spurs gonna allow 60+ points in a half yet again.

[Robz4000]

Gasol looks completely finished.

[james evans]

yup, just as I expected. Aldridge forgot his height and weight in the 2nd quarter of a game again

[NASpurs]

:lmao Collison

[Leetonidas]

Garbage

[RD2191]

Son of a bitch. This is going to be a frustrating season.

[Hoops Czar]

Aldridge is 33 and declining.

[K...]

Do I spy with my little eye a Forbes and Patty backcourt again ? Tank Commander Pop leading the charge

https://i.makeagif.com/media/10-10-2018/GNBLtF.gif

[r0drig0lac]

Spurs do not have athletes to run with any league team, we will basically be forced to cheer for opponents miss their open shots game after game

[SAGirl]

Pau Paddy Bryn! Wipityyyyyy

[Leetonidas]

Gtfo Pau you piece of shit

[james evans]

see that? When Aldridge goes in he paint, they cant stop him. But he wants to shoot 15 foot fadeaways all game

[Immortal Spur]

Forbes.. hopefully he does well enough to make patty expendable

[RC_Drunkford]

why does Mills run to midcourt when he's closing out on a shooter?:lol He came back into the picture when Indiana already made the shot

[Hoops Czar]

It's the new NBA
Except the Spurs aren't lighting up the no D Pacers... oh wait.

[BillMc]

So anytime DeMar has an off night, Spurs are doomed.

[r0drig0lac]

Gasol looks completely finished.

for at least two years

[Spurs fever]

Where's DeMar?

[phxspurfan]

lol Spurs "Hype Squad" super awkward double jointed clowns

[james evans]

Spurs do not have athletes to run with any league team, we will basically be forced to cheer for opponents miss their open shots game after game
Popovich is building teams like it's the late 90s and early 2000s. He's gonna have to turn into coach K and put his fucking pride aside and bringing in different players. For years coach K avoided the 1 and done athletic players until it became the main players he was recruiting. And he has 2 more titles form it

[Mr. Body]

One of the worst benches this franchise has ever had when the young guards are hurt.

And where is DeRozan? Why is he sucking?

[Leetonidas]

Metu :lol

[objective]

Pau Gasol looks like Duncan did after the good knee went bad that final year.

He can't even contest at the rim when he's right in front of it or grab a rebound.

The wheels fell off and then Patty ate them

[james evans]

DD traveled on that eurostep haha

[Hoops Czar]

Spurs need to play at a slower pace than the slowest pace in the NBA. Indianis is getting too many posessions.

[skin27]

Derozan only 3 field goal attempts? Maybe he’ll go back to chucking next game vs lakers

[Immortal Spur]

metu following the patty mills course to playing time.. lol

[phxspurfan]

lol Bogdanovic with the typical Euroscrub slow af herky jerky flailing moves

[Cry Havoc]

It's a miracle we're as close as we are with indy hitting 400 3s in the first half.

[NASpurs]

:lol Farty Mills

[Immortal Spur]

loaded magazine...

[SAGirl]

Forbes at least is hot!

[Leetonidas]

Jesus mills wtf

[Ron Swanson]

Only down 12 is a fucking miracle.

[phxspurfan]

DeRozan going to hurt himself barrelling into the lane bc the Spurs can't do anything else

[Robz4000]

:vomit:

[RD2191]

Mills...piece of shit.

[skin27]

Derozan needs to shoot more

[Spurs fever]

Mills...

[Immortal Spur]

dam another game both mills and gasol look like dog shit.

[RD2191]

Seeing Mills makes me wish the Aussies finished the job.

[Robz4000]

At this point there's zero reasoning to keep Gasol and Mills in the rotation, but in Pop's mind they should be playing 30+ mins.

[james evans]

what? kawhi alone would make this team a force
kawhi also had danny green and murray. THIS team without Green and murray, there isnt much Kawhi could do.

[Immortal Spur]

wonder if there is actually a point where Pop says to himself they gotta go.

[in2deep]

:lol 50 mills had barbie with about 20 Lagers before the game

[Hoops Czar]

That bench LMAO

Pau Gasol -19
Bertons -8
Mills -12
Belinelli -15

[RC_Drunkford]

glad Patty is signed for 3 more years

[objective]

Mills is a basketball bum.

Cory Joseph is so much better than Mills it's depressing

Then again, there's probably 60 'point guards' in the league better than Mills

[DAF86]

Why is Mills finishing halves when Gay and Bellinelli are playing better?

[tim_duncan_fan]

At this point there's zero reasoning to keep Gasol and Mills in the rotation, but in Pop's mind they should be playing 30+ mins.

Gasol makes a couple of nice passes a game. Patty, though, is basically worse than playing without a 5th player right now.

[Mr. Body]

At this point there's zero reasoning to keep Gasol and Mills in the rotation, but in Pop's mind they should be playing 30+ mins.

Who else are they going to play?

[skin27]

Lol the hate on patty after he made that winning shot vs lakers

[r0drig0lac]

Gasol makes a couple of nice passes a game. Patty, though, is basically worse than playing without a 5th player right now.

Gasol is putrid, regardless of how good his "qi basketball" is, it's not his fault, but he should no longer be playing basketball, as simple as that.

[Robz4000]

Gasol makes a couple of nice passes a game. Patty, though, is basically worse than playing without a 5th player right now.

He's been miss-timing his passes all season tbh.

[NASpurs]

Pop would have to reinvent the game of basketball to fix this team.

[Immortal Spur]

the bench is getting absolutely torched.

[RC_Drunkford]

dam another game both mills and gasol look like dog shit.

the fact that they together get paid more than Anthony Davis is insane

[Robz4000]

Who else are they going to play?

Beli, Bertans, Gay, Metu, Eubanks, the Coyote, etc

[K...]

I spent the last few minutes making another dumb gif...gasol after the timberwolfs game "we played well, we were rusty, we're gonna make some mistakes"

https://i.makeagif.com/media/10-25-2018/s67QU3.gif

[Jordan Jackson]

wonder if there is actually a point where Pop says to himself they gotta go.
Yes. Hopefully at halftime.

[Immortal Spur]

the fact that they together get paid more than Anthony Davis is insane
ugh...

[Mr. Body]

Beli, Bertans, Gay, Metu, Eubanks, the Coyote, etc

Gay is a starter, you might have noticed. Beli is the only player listed who is worth playing otherwise.

[bklynspursfan]

So anytime DeMar has an off night, Spurs are doomed.

Seems he was letting others do their thing in the first. Picked it up a bit but hopefully he gets it going in the 2nd half.

[SAGirl]

At this point there's zero reasoning to keep Gasol and Mills in the rotation, but in Pop's mind they should be playing 30+ mins.
They are leaders culture and in the HEB ads.

[r0drig0lac]

spurs need to trade mills and gasol for something, even if it yields the pick of toronto, it's depressing

[Robz4000]

Gay is a starter, you might have noticed. Beli is the only player listed who is worth playing otherwise.

I mean the options are far from ideal, but unless Gasol magically gets out of geriatric care they're better at this point. Sucks that Poetl has somehow looked even worse.

[LakerHater]

Damn, y'all see #2 make a no look diving steal?!

[DAF86]

Box score says: Aldridge 11, Forbes 11, DeRozan 8, Bellinelli 7, Bertans 7, Gay 6, Poeltl 2. That adds up to 52 pts, not 50, tbh. Whose pts are wrong?

[SpursGenius]

Gasol and mills gave them their 12 point lead. Garbage

[LakerHater]

So anytime DeMar has an off night, Spurs are doomed.

Rudy seems like he c can take over a game but doesn't. DeMar is the only one creating!

[Immortal Spur]

Rudy

[NASpurs]

DeMar fouls him :lol

[Robz4000]

Wtf was that DeRozan?

[RD2191]

Pacers can't miss. This game is over.

[Ron Swanson]

Just let him have the dunk, DeMar.

[Leetonidas]

Wtf just let him go man

[MVPCues]

Two dumb plays within 3 seconds...

[BatManu20]

Lol DeMar you stupid fuck

[Chomag]

Man I think a highschool team could score on this Spurs defence.

[Immortal Spur]

what a terrible sequence... shivers

[BatManu20]

This team looks like straight fucking ass right now.

[DAF86]

3 minutes in Poeltl is hooked. :lol Pop is gonna fuck with that kid's mind.

[MVPCues]

Pop will be looking for a heavy towel in a few minutes.

[RC_Drunkford]

Man I think a highschool team could score on this Spurs defence.

what defense?

[phxspurfan]

Thaddeus is like the perfect big to guard LMA. Like a bigger, better Draymond.

[SuperCam]

if laker hadn't had all these suspensions spurms would be about to go 1-3 :lol

[skin27]

Lol can’t defend the pacers

[BillMc]

Maybe an asteroid will hit Earth and put us out of our misery

[Robz4000]

if laker hadn't had all these suspensions spurms would be about to go 1-3 :lol

They'd be 0-4 if Butler didn't sit the entire preseason.

[TheGreatYacht]

Maybe an asteroid will hit Earth and put us out of our misery
Or hopefully Drunkford can have a liver failure

[Immortal Spur]

hopefully that gets pop going. I mean if we have to watch pau play, might as well hope he does good.

[MVPCues]

Maybe an asteroid will hit Earth and put us out of our misery

It would land right in the Spurs camp... and kill Derozan, LMA, and Gay.

[SpurPadre]

Man...so weird how we can be worse than last year.

[sasaint]

Where is everybody watching this game?

[Chomag]

Spurs really should make a trade but we know that won't happen because of the culture card

[BillMc]

It would land right in the Spurs camp... and kill Derozan, LMA, and Gay.

Patty would survive.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Maybe an asteroid will hit Earth and put us out of our misery

:lmao welcome aboard Bill :toast

[DAF86]

How are we going to get back into this when we can't get 3 stops in a row?

[phxspurfan]

Maybe an asteroid will hit Earth and put us out of our misery

Asteroid gonna avoid us like Kawhi

[bklynspursfan]

3 minutes in Poeltl is hooked. :lol Pop is gonna fuck with that kid's mind.

It was about him giving up that 3

1055275262441480192

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Man...so weird how we can be worse than last year.

No perimeter defense with green gone and Murray injured

[NASpurs]

Patty would survive.

Only Patty and cockroaches are the ones capable of surviving extinction.

[RD2191]

LMA lmao

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Pacers playing 2014 Spurs style against the Spurs :lol

[Ron Swanson]

Patty would survive.

And get a 4 year extension. Someone has to be around to teach the corporate knowledge to the new team.

[bklynspursfan]

Just need DD to get going. Hopefully these FTs get him on track

[BillMc]

Only Patty and cockroaches are the ones capable of surviving extinction.

And the roaches would score on Patty at will.

[skin27]

Pop should get wing defender..

[sasaint]

Man...so weird how we can be worse than last year.

Not really. Not with all the guys we have injured. We are not watching the real Spurs so far this season any more than we were watching them all last season.

[NASpurs]

And get a 4 year extension. Someone has to be around to teach the corporate knowledge to the new team.

:lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

These fucks legit look like they’re running around with their heads cut off on defense.

[RD2191]

Spurs really should make a trade but we know that won't happen because of the culture card

Spurs need to blow it up tbh.

[bklynspursfan]

And the roaches would score on Patty at will.

You been hacked? :lol

[BatManu20]

Jesus why are we sucking so badly rn. None of these guys can throw it in the ocean and Aldridge just fucking airballed a midrange jump shot :lol

[MVPCues]

Patty would survive.

unscathed...

[NASpurs]

And the roaches would score on Patty at will.

:lol that's pretty good

[RD2191]

Not really. Not with all the guys we have injured. We are not watching the real Spurs so far this season any more than we were watching them all last season.

DJ is good bruh but he ain't fixing this shit. This team is bad.

[SAGirl]

No perimeter defense with green gone and Murray injured
Anderson was a big part of the team last year too tbh.

[RD2191]

Demar :lmao

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Man DeRozan is one of the worst 3 point shooting guards in the entire league

[BatManu20]

Looks like playoff DeMar came to play tonight lol

[K...]

it's honestly funny when patty plays fast break defense
