Game Thread: Spurs vs Mavs -- Mon. (10/29) - 7:30/C (3:30am Riga Time)

[TheGreatYacht]

Our Australian male cheerleader gave Metu the key to fleecing PATFO :wow

[Mirrornick]

At least every 4th quarters will be intense this year lol

[Fusternino]

Lakers about to lose to the Wolves, lol.

[ducks]

Go USA USA USA

[skin27]

Spurs can’t blowout a shitty team these days

[Kawhitstorm]

No one can win 7-games series against a team with shooters that can score +50 pts in just 3 quarters.

You mean the same team that had to send out Zaza to commit their deed?:claw

[Dverde]

Big difference is Mavs know they suck.

[bklynspursfan]

Great movement

[Amuseddaysleeper]

No one can win 7-games series against a team with shooters that can score +50 pts in just 3 quarters.

Their FOURTH best player put up that stat line.

Warriors are disgusting

[SAGirl]

Doncic has looked better than expected...

[skin27]

Derozan should take over

[DAF86]

Go USA USA USA

The Italian is the one keeping us in the game.

[weeks]

smoove.

[skin27]

smoove.

Shot clock cheese splash

[Mirrornick]

DD needs to go up strong on those rebounds. Zero motor

[weeks]

if DD has to keep carrying this team he's gonna get ground into the dirt

[Fusternino]

LMA doing nothing on the offensive glass . . .

[Leetonidas]

DeStar

[TheGreatYacht]

Just got Kawhi flashbacks :depressed:

[Mirrornick]

DeKobe DeMazing

[Chinook]

Doncic has looked better than expected...

I have him on my fantasy team, so I'm not sad about him showing out a bit.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The Italian is the one keeping us in the game.

:lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Lol this sorry ass unit

[Robz4000]

:lol this team is a disgrace to basketball

[emanueldavidginobili]

This kid is 19 years old holy shit.

[james evans]

This is bs

[boutons_deux]

so Mavs gonna get their first road W in SA?

[TheGreatYacht]

We lose the lead every time the deformed ginger sees the court. Never fails :lol

[BatManu20]

We stink

[Mirrornick]

Another DDdagger incoming

[surgical]

Cunningham over Gay? Why?

[Mirrornick]

At least we'll witness another DD game winner yay

[TheGreatYacht]

Forbes, Marco, DD, Gay, Aldridge. Please.

[Uriel]

On the bright side, at least Toronto finally lost.

[Mirrornick]

Cunningham over Gay? Why?

Rudy played 17 straight minutes

[SAGirl]

Doncic! :tongue

[DAF86]

On the bright side, at least Toronto finally lost.

When Kawhi didn't play.

[SAGirl]

DeStar scoring

[surgical]

Forbes, Marco, DD, Gay, Aldridge. Please.
Agreed... Mills is such a liability

[SAGirl]

Doncic tbh

[BatManu20]

Luka shitting all over us

[surgical]

Mills just bites on any and every fucking feint, running into oblivion each time.

[TheGreatYacht]

Crater face going off on Marco for not being able to stop their best player. What a tool.

[313]

Derozen getting the Kawhi treatment, getting ignored for long stretches at a time after hitting a couple shots in a row

[Chinook]

The Spurs defend way too much with their hands. Leonard and Green guard most of the time without any reaching. Pretty much everyone on this team tries to go for steals rather than contests.

[NASpurs]

Forbes you dumbfuck

[SAGirl]

Yeah belinelli needed to go out but so does Millssss

lets tank

[james evans]

Forbes fucked us.

[007nites]

FUCCKKK

[313]

:lmao

White can't get back soon enough

[surgical]

LOL... Oh man our PGs

[Amuseddaysleeper]

When Kawhi didn't play.

Yup, OG didn't either who has been huge for the Raps

No Giannis either but still

[NASpurs]

DeClutch

[Trainwreck2100]

LOL... Oh man our PGs

Just Ps, cause they can't guard shit

[Spurs fever]

DeMar!

[SAGirl]

DeStar bailing everyone

[TheGreatYacht]

Just Ps, cause they can't guard shit
:lol

[NASpurs]

Just Ps, cause they can't guard shit

Theyre also not very good at the P either

[bklynspursfan]

Remember being in these close games last yr but struggled to get timely baskets. DD solves that need.

Gotta protect the lead better tho, they let their foot off the gas to start the 3rd

[weeks]

DD doing basically everything for us.

[Mirrornick]

DeMonster

[NASpurs]

Of course :lol

[Mirrornick]

DD no doubt will be in the HOF one day.

DONT @ ME :D

[K...]

you don't get those calls at that stage of the game...

[Amuseddaysleeper]

And DeRozan destroys himself in 30 seconds :lmao

[RD2191]

Dechoke

[NASpurs]

Spurs are going to get a moral victory instead of an actual one, aren’t they :lol

[Chinook]

you don't get those calls at that stage of the game...

But you should.

[TheGreatYacht]

Let Demar redeem himself

[SAGirl]

Damnnnn I hadn’t realized vRudy had 7 TO! 7!!!!!

[K...]

DD no doubt will be in the HOF one day.

DONT @ ME :D

nah, they're just gonna keep enshrining the warriors guys over and over

[weeks]

i expected a stress free season :fight

[K...]

i expected a stress free season :fight

win=playoffs lose=tank....win win

[Chinook]

Would have Beli in here.

[skin27]

Can’t beat the shitty Mavs...lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

DeRozan having playoff flashbacks

[NASpurs]

DeMidRange clanked it

[RD2191]

Derozan wide open brick crofl :lmao

[Spurs fever]

Had a good look. Overtime we go.

[TheGreatYacht]

Knew Marco should've shot it smh

[Kawhitstorm]

Yup, OG didn't either who has been huge for the Raps

No Giannis either but still

They could have used Van Vleet too with Wright being unplayable at the moment.

[ducks]

Gay has 5 steals wow

[Arcadian]

Great game

[DAF86]

Why give DeRozan the ball for catch and shoot plays? We have several players more capable to do that.

[james evans]

From what I'm seeing these first few games I'd much rather Forbes take the last shot with a plan ran for him than for DD to go ISO.

[weeks]

idc that he missed. who else you got taking that shot? i'll go with DD every time brick or not tbh. sprinkle in some lma, gay, forbes maybe.

[SAGirl]

Smith ;) FT.

OT :td
its late. This team with two OT games already among 6 games

[Mirrornick]

That would be sick

[Chinook]

Knew Marco should've shot it smh

Pau inbounding, Aldridge setting screens. Beli, DeRozan and Gay on the court to take the shot.

[Mirrornick]

Why give DeRozan the ball for catch and shoot plays? We have several players more capable to do that.

Live or die with DD

choose your pill

[DAF86]

Correct me if I'm wrong but DeRozan and LA played the entire 4th, right?

[BillMc]

We got this.

[Kawhitstorm]

Derozan wide open brick crofl :lmao

Bootleg Kriby unable to put away Harrison Barnes :lmao

[bigdickboys]

Why give DeRozan the ball for catch and shoot plays? We have several players more capable to do that.

Plays are multi option. You go with the first clear read.

[Mirrornick]

At least DD can still get that 40 I promised y'all haha

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Great game so far by DDR, if we can get anything out of LMA on the offensive end this will be easy OT win

[sasaint]

Out of the country and following the game on CBS gametracker. Looked like Doncic and Dennis Jr.were killing us until Jr got the yips. Seems like LMA has been awol down the stretch.

[NASpurs]

At least DD can still get that 40 I promised y'all haha

40 minutes?

[BatManu20]

Rudy looks like an absolute scrub tonight offensively w the ball in his hands. Rough game for him on that end

[K...]

gay has a crazy stat line but he looks tired

[bbarry]

taking the mavs to OT :lmao this team sucks rn regardless of the outcome.

[K...]

box out and we win...don't choke DD

[NASpurs]

Not That Gay

[Spurtacular]

ISO ball on every possession. Solid strategy.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Rudy Gay Man

NOT THIS GUY

[K...]

well we spoke ill of rudy too soon

[BatManu20]

Rudy heard me

[weeks]

THIS GAY.

[DAF86]

Rudy looks like an absolute scrub tonight offensively w the ball in his hands. Rough game for him on that end

He has 15 pts on 50 % shooting.

[SAGirl]

Getting tired works both ways I guess.

[Mirrornick]

DeRudy DeGay lmao

[Chinook]

Spurs badly need a Lou Williams-like player to go in there and score some points without needing someone to create for him. Their missing guards will help in a lot ways, but they likely won't help there.

[Mirrornick]

y'all are lucky to watch this version of DeRudy DeGay and not the one in Toronto in 2013.

[NASpurs]

DeKirby

[K...]

so many shots so crap for both teams....the spurs are getting looks but alas

[weeks]

DeRozan.

[BatManu20]

Lol bail out call

[Mirrornick]

DeHOF

[DAF86]

Spurs badly need a Lou Williams-like player to go in there and score some points without needing someone to create for him. Their missing guards will help in a lot ways, but they likely won't help there.

White is a playmaker.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

I guess every game is gonna be close this year LOL

[bklynspursfan]

Great defense there by Mills to force that TO

[hater]

Gay 6 steals :tu

[K...]

DD is so trash magic...rudy being clutch...this stupid team gets lucky i guess

[NASpurs]

I guess every game is gonna be close this year LOL

Except for the blowout losses but the wins will be close at least.

[DAF86]

DeClutchan :worthy:

[skin27]

Derozan carrying this scrubs:lol

[hater]

:lmao Kawhitter fans

derozan >>>>> Mute Cancer

[weeks]

DeALPHA

so cold!!!

[Mirrornick]

DeKobe FTW

[SpurPadre]

Demar DeGodan with the Fuck Kawhi game winner!

[surgical]

Boy been a beast for us man. DD killing it.

[Chinook]

White is a playmaker.

Not really. Like I think he'll be fine, but he'll have to play at his best to really make a dent in DeRozan's minutes.

[BatManu20]

DeMVP

[The Closer]

The Closer Man Defense on barney. :lmao

[K...]

White is a playmaker.

uh, so was kyle anderson in the d-league...

[Spurs 4 The Win]

DeFrozen with ice running through his veins!!!! WOWOWOWOW

[Arcadian]

Great win. And fuck everyone who called him "DeChoke" when he made a game winning shot 2 days ago, and closed out the OT tonight. You overreacting, short memory faggots.

[Luka Doncic]

Wes Matthews guarding you is the ultimate confidence boost.

[KimmyGib]

in b4 2nd ot

[bigdickboys]

:lmao Kawhitter fans

derozan >>>>> Mute Cancer

Tag that name as official. I'm rolling with Mute Cancer for his name from now on.

[K...]

what is paddy's dance there? is that his CLOSER dance?

[313]

This team is so mellow energy wise, DDR was the only one hype after that dagger

[Spurs 4 The Win]

This team will be fun to watch develop into a top 4 seed in the West this year. So much potential. Loving DeMar way more than mute cancer so far.

[bklynspursfan]

This team is so mellow energy wise, DDR was the only one hype after that dagger

Bench was pretty hype. But they aren't gonna be like the Warriors out there celebrating FTs like it's the championship.

Just another day at the office lol

[surgical]

This team is so mellow energy wise, DDR was the only one hype after that dagger
I feel like we've always been a mellow team haha... I like DD's fire though

[NASpurs]

Uh oh LMA at the line

[DAF86]

uh, so was kyle anderson in the d-league...

And he got a 9 mills per year contract. White can shoot also.

[weeks]

fuck they're going to aldridge? seriously?

[Leetonidas]

This team is so mellow energy wise, DDR was the only one hype after that dagger

Except for Metu :lol dudes over there karate kicking the air and shit after made baskets

[sasaint]

So DeMar redeemed himself!

[007nites]

rather have that ball go to anyone but aldridge tbh

[SpurPadre]

That's gotta be the first time LMA has ever made both free throws at the end of a game tbh.

[DAF86]

LA got his 20. He won't pout as much.

[wildbill2u]

Fun game to watch. We aren't going to be great this year, but there should be some entertaining games.

[skin27]

VICTORY:flag:

[weeks]

LA got his 20. He won't pout as much.

no one should be pouting you sour asshole we won and DD is performing beyond our wildest hopes

[JPB]

Kawho ?

[DAF86]

This team will be fun to watch develop into a top 4 seed in the West this year. So much potential. Loving DeMar way more than mute cancer so far.

Bruh. We just got taken to OT by one of the worst teams in the West. At home. :lol

[BillMc]

Victory!!

[SpurPadre]

PATFO, get Demar DeFuckKawhi some help now!

[TE]

I’m loving Demar’s performances and fire 🔥 early on.

[DAF86]

Our 4-2 record is such fool's gold. I'll take it though. :lol

[Mirrornick]

So spurs fans how does it feel to have DeKobe DeJordan on your team

[SAGirl]

Fun game.
:cheer

[spurs1990]

Are all these nail biter games due to just not having our guards? I mean I'm hoping at least White and Walker will allow for some easier wins once they return

[DAF86]

no one should be pouting you sour asshole we won and DD is performing beyond our wildest hopes

Hey, don't look at me. Aldridge was the one wanting to be traded from a 67 wins team because he wasn't scoring as much as he wanted. :lol

[bigdickboys]

Our 4-2 record is such fool's gold. I'll take it though. :lol

It's not even worth discussing until at least some of the injured make their returns. Then you can start pacing out minutes better and figuring out real rotations.

[Mirrornick]

Honestly this is how most raptors games were last 3 seasons. DD carried them all the time. Yet the advanced stats nerds claimed he wasn't good because some numbers on a calculator told them so smh

[Uriel]

This team will be fun to watch develop into a top 4 seed in the West this year. So much potential. Loving DeMar way more than mute cancer so far.
Murray is out for the season.

[Arcadian]

Cunningham as a starter needs to end now.

Otherwise, I'm pleased.

[BillMc]

Fun game to watch. We aren't going to be great this year, but there should be some entertaining games.

This. We should all just kick back and savor all these close, dramatic games. I mean we want to be entertained, right?

[SAGirl]

Our 4-2 record is such fool's gold. I'll take it though. :lol
I kinda wanted to tank but DeStar keeps winning games. I’ll take it. I wish the supporting cast was better or that Murray was healthy etc....
Lots if things I wished but I ain’t getting my wish at least got to enjoy watching DeStar

[skin27]

So spurs fans how does it feel to have DeKobe DeJordan on your team


too early to tell, but so far he’s playing great..he exceeds my expectations from him so far..tbh

[bigdickboys]

Are all these nail biter games due to just not having our guards? I mean I'm hoping at least White and Walker will allow for some easier wins once they return

It's worth considering what a more flexible rotation will do in terms of keeping player minutes down and energy levels high, not to mention keeping a better collection of talent on the floor at any one time.

[024]

These terribly ugly wins just masking how bad Patty keeps getting destroyed on defense.

[Arcadian]

Honestly this is how most raptors games were last 3 seasons. DD carried them all the time. Yet the advanced stats nerds claimed he wasn't good because some numbers on a calculator told them so smh

Was he this good of a passer, though? I'm really impressed with his assists. Was not expecting that.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Bruh. We just got taken to OT by one of the worst teams in the West. At home. :lol

Bruh, we are starting this year with the least amount of continuity in over 2 decades and a slew of injuries. We are 4-2 and have beaten Lebron twice and won 2 OT games. The Mavs are a rival and always play us close. This team is developing chemistry and belief in themselves quickly. DeMar looks like a bona fide all NBA player and the sky is the limit for this team if we start firing on all cylinders.

[skin27]

Looks like LMA can’t rebound tonight

[Stabula]

Was he this good of a passer, though? I'm really impressed with his assists. Was not expecting that.

He didn't add that into his game until last season and it's continued into this one.

[Arcadian]

:lol Some people are just searching for reasons to meltdown. You hate when the Spurs win a close game. You wanted to melt down so bad. :lol faggots

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Murray is out for the season.

That dude had a jump shot like Michael J Fox from teen wolf, until he can knock down a jumper consistently, he aint a crunch time guard.

[Stabula]

Glad we won, but it was a pyrrhic victory tbh.

[cjw]

Hey, don't look at me. Aldridge was the one wanting to be traded from a 67 wins team because he wasn't scoring as much as he wanted. :lol

61 win*

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Was he this good of a passer, though? I'm really impressed with his assists. Was not expecting that.

Pop is elevating his game, nice to see him actually doing his job again.

[skin27]

Was he this good of a passer, though? I'm really impressed with his assists. Was not expecting that.


Yup he become a good playmaker in San Antonio..

[bklynspursfan]

I kinda wanted to tank but DeStar keeps winning games. I’ll take it. I wish the supporting cast was better or that Murray was healthy etc....
Lots if things I wished but I ain’t getting my wish at least got to enjoy watching DeStar

You've sure come around on DD :tu

I know you weren't happy about him coming here initially

[coachmac87]

:lol Some people are just searching for reasons to meltdown. You hate when the Spurs win a close game. You wanted to melt down so bad. :lol faggots

It’s what they live for....

[Spurs 4 The Win]

You've sure come around on DD :tu

It is because she doesnt understand basketball, cut her some slack.

[bklynspursfan]

:lol Some people are just searching for reasons to meltdown. You hate when the Spurs win a close game. You wanted to melt down so bad. :lol faggots

It's the Spurstalk way. We struggled in these same situations last year immensely cause we couldn't score. And now we show big improvements on that front and people still complain about how they win.

[Kawhitstorm]

Spurs badly need a Lou Williams-like player to go in there and score some points without needing someone to create for him. Their missing guards will help in a lot ways, but they likely won't help there.

DeMar, Rudy, Lou....?:wow:lobt:

Where have I seen that before....:reading

[BillMc]

It’s what they live for....


:lol Some people are just searching for reasons to meltdown. You hate when the Spurs win a close game. You wanted to melt down so bad. :lol faggots

So true

[Chinook]

:lol Some people are just searching for reasons to meltdown. You hate when the Spurs win a close game. You wanted to melt down so bad. :lol faggots

Seriously. People are bitching, but the Spurs lost a butt-ton of close games last year that made the difference between them getting the third-seed and them getting the Warriors in the first round.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

It's the Spurstalk way. We struggled in these same situations last year immensely cause we couldn't score. And now we show big improvements on that front and people still complain about how they win.

We lost so many close games last year. I see vast improvement with us winning these games. We are really making strides in our crunch time scoring, like you said.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Seriously. People are bitching, but the Spurs lost a butt-ton of close games last year that made the difference between them getting the third-seed and them getting the Warriors in the first round.

:toast

[SAGirl]

You've sure come around on DD :tu

I know you weren't happy about him coming here initially
True. Didn’t like the trade. Would have preferred someone else or even a rebuild if I am honest. But had to move on eventually or I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the team. As I said, I ain’t getting my wish so at least Demar is playing very well and got to enjoy that.

[gospursgojas]

:lol Some people are just searching for reasons to meltdown. You hate when the Spurs win a close game. You wanted to melt down so bad. :lol faggots

Emo fucks. Get drunk and celebrate the win like a man.

[RC_Drunkford]

Our 4-2 record is such fool's gold. I'll take it though. :lol

We played all of them against Playoff teams. Shit even this Mavs team might get into the Playoffs. There are no easy games in the west

[SAGirl]

That being said the team is playing the top 3 players a lot of minutes early in the season. No garbage time to rest players etc.

[bigfan]

First game I've been able to see living up here in Dallas. Totally happy with the Leonard/DeRozan trade now, what we give up in defense and a sullen attitude we gain with a smooth shooter and a team player. As for the rest, I was surprised to see Marco get pulled when he was hot but they said he missed a defensive assignment so who knows. Still not a Bertans fan but thought Mills played his ass off tonight. Dallas has a pretty damn good team actually nowdays but Ill always be a Spurs fan. In a way DeRozen's smoothness reminds me of Mitch.

[Mirrornick]

Yup he become a good playmaker in San Antonio..

He was already a good playmaker last year. Don't forget he played next to an elite point guard in Lowry. This year his assist numbers are up because his PG is actually a true SG(FORBES)

Another thing is LMA is so good in the pick and pop. When they run it it always reminds me of Nash/Dirk in 2004.

[Mugen]

Liked Pop's adjustment of putting Demar on Doncic, at least made it harder for him tbh.

Really should stagger DD and LMA's minutes more IMO.....

[JPB]

Apocalypse continuing to be solid... 12 pts, 5-11 (2/5). Still not a PG as his one assist testifies but DeDoesEverything takes care of that.

Forbes is DeGoat's BJ Amstrong.

[bklynspursfan]

We lost so many close games last year. I see vast improvement with us winning these games. We are really making strides in our crunch time scoring, like you said.

Exactly. Once the chemistry improves and the 3 ball starts dropping more, they should start winning more games comfortably.

[sasaint]

We lost so many close games last year. I see vast improvement with us winning these games. We are really making strides in our crunch time scoring, like you said.

Yep, last season we were the freaking Keystone Kops in crunch time. THAT was hard to watch.

[Mirrornick]

lmao @ pops benching Beli after a bad defensive play. That was great to see.

[DAF86]

Exactly. Once the chemistry improves and the 3 ball starts dropping more, they should start winning more games comfortably.

Spurs are second in 3pt%. They shot 45% from 3 tonight. The 3pt shot is one of the things keeping us afloat so far.

That’s what you get from a team with midrange specialist like Derozan/aldridge..

[Spurs fever]

Glad we're getting a few wins while we're still figuring stuff out.

[Kawhitstorm]

PATFO, get Demar DeFuckKawhi some help now!

DeFrozen has turned an NBA 2nd team center into Patrick Patterson while Kawhi is making Lowry seem like the second coming of Curry.:lol

[KDKSpurs24]

Pop’s decision to bench Beli after that play really changed the game. Forbes was a big contributor in D once he came in. I just hate when he lost the ball tho. Probably wouldn’t have went to OT if not for that.

[bklynspursfan]

Spurs are second in 3pt%. They shot 45% from 3 tonight. The 3pt shot is one of the things keeping us afloat so far.

I meant more about them taking/making more, not so much %. They have shooters, but guys are still figuring out spacing, chemistry, rotations, etc...

[SpurPadre]

DeFrozen has turned an NBA 2nd team center into Patrick Patterson while Kawhi is making Lowry seem like the second coming of Curry.:lol

First of all, Lowry was an All Star with DeFuckKawhi. Second, DefuckKawhi is making Forbes seem like a legit NBA player instead of the G League scrub he really is tbh.

[Mirrornick]

LMA is shooting under 40% FG this season. I'm sure he will eventually start hitting those shots he usually makes. Watching DeMar and LMA in the pick and roll is a thing of beauty. Once LMA gets his shot back, DD's assists will rise even more.

[DAF86]

DeFrozen has turned an NBA 2nd team center into Patrick Patterson while Kawhi is making Lowry seem like the second coming of Curry.:lol

That NBA 2nd team center became that when Kawhi went down.

[Mirrornick]

Damn why do we suddenly turn this into DD vs Kawhi bullcrap. Let's enjoy DeRozan and forget about Kawhi for once. Time to move on faggots

[Arcadian]

Exactly. He didn't forget how to shoot. Everyone goes through slumps. Not worried.

[BillMc]

It’s what they live for....

Post of the day

[Spurs fever]

Damn why do we suddenly turn this into DD vs Kawhi bullcrap. Let's enjoy DeRozan and forget about Kawhi for once. Time to move on faggots I would think we'd move on from Leonard and focus on our own team. *shrugs* 2014 will always be sweet. I'm down with what we got now. Spurs win and Lakers lose. Good day for me.

[Kawhitstorm]

That NBA 2nd team center became that when Kawhi went down.

Kawhi only had him shooting 52% & playing elite D before he came in depressed/out-of-shape the following season. Lowly w/o Kawhi was back to his old self against a team that actually plays D unlike the Wiz who gave up 51 to Curry in 3 quarters.:lol

[Kawhitstorm]

First of all, Lowry was an All Star with DeFuckKawhi. Second, DefuckKawhi is making Forbes seem like a legit NBA player instead of the G League scrub he really is tbh.

What about Fatty Mills whom Kawhi made a household name?:wakeup

Lowly is shooting 70% when he plays with Kawhi.:lol

[SpurPadre]

Can we please only talk about kawhi in the kawhi threads? Dude isn't playing tonight

[Kawhitstorm]

Manu is the one who made Fatty Mills not Kabitch, tbh.

Kawhi/Fatty were the two best 2-man lineups on a 67 wins team: https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/SAS/2016/lineups/#lineups_2-man_::3

Same in the '17 playoffs when they had a chance to beat the Duds: https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/SAS/2017/lineups/#lineups_2-man__p::3

Last in the league in attempts and taking fewer than last season. It's fine now because we're making 41% 3pt but that may be an issue going forward.

DeMar creating & making more 3s:wow

Kawhi/Fatty were the two best 2-man lineups on a 67 wins team: https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/SAS/2016/lineups/#lineups_2-man_::3

Same in the '17 playoffs when they had a chance to beat the Duds: https://www.basketball-reference.com/teams/SAS/2017/lineups/#lineups_2-man__p::3

Fatty was "made" before that 67 win season, tbh.

Porker was also "surprised" that Danny was outplaying him before that 67 win season.:sleep

Porker's injury was also 10 times worse than Kabitch's but came back faster...:sleep

That's why we need to play guys like Bertans more and guys like Pondexter and Cunningham less.

The fuck ever happened to Jacob? Pops done with him this season already?

He'll be back when Pop can justify resting LMA or Pau. Dallas plays small, as does Phoenix.

The fuck ever happened to Jacob? Pops done with him this season already?

He's a liability out there. He literally does nothing. The advanced stats nerds loved him because some calculator found that he had good analytics smh. Talking about raptors fans last year. I personally never liked poodle and never saw what the analytics nerds did.

[cd021]

That's why we need to play guys like Bertans more and guys like Pondexter and Cunningham less.

Cunningham does have some use defensively but I would agree that starting Bertans alongside Forbes, DDR, Gay and LMA should significantly improve the number of 3pt attempts per game and maximize the effectiveness of the offense. Rebounding and defense would be an issue but 3 shooters around DDR and LMA would be the ideal SL given the current roster construction.

[cd021]

King Joff 2.0?

More like Dedmon tbh

[cd021]

The fuck ever happened to Jacob? Pops done with him this season already?

He'll probably start against non small ball SL's and play garbage minutes in blowouts. He'll get good minutes when Pop starts resting LMA and Gasol but I don't see him playing more than 750 minutes this season unless something goes wrong.

For the first time in many years, the Spurs lack depth, but they can win games with their top 6.

Leave ElNono out of this tbh

Mills, fobes and Belinelli are the only shooters in the team have playing time..so it means this three are shooting well from the 3...I did not include Bertans because his in the doghouse...Gay is also shooting well from the 3 so far

[sasaint]

King Joff 2.0?

Hard to refute at this point.

[bklynspursfan]

That's why we need to play guys like Bertans more and guys like Pondexter and Cunningham less.

Cunningham needs to work on his 3 with Chip, just to get more confident. But he needs mins most nights. Can't have Bertans guarding LeBron or other perimeter threats. Sounds terrifying just thinking about it

[Dex]

The fuck ever happened to Jacob? Pops done with him this season already?

I really hope he is just nursing an undisclosed injury. I know he hasn't looked great so far this season, but he isn't going to get any better sitting on the bench.
