Game Thread: Spurs vs Magic — Sun. (11/4) - 6:00/C (2:00am Riga Time)

[BatManu20]

Quick turnaround as we’re back at it at home tonight as we host a 2-6 Magic team that have lost 4 straight by a combined 70 points. Will be interesting to see how Pop manages minutes since DeMar and LMA played a bit more tonight than I think he would’ve liked. Nonetheless, even on the second leg of a b2b, we should beat this team. Jonathon Simmons will be back and I’m sure he’ll be juiced for the this one against his former team (pun intended). Let’s get it.

Spurs by 11 or the number of alts some posters here have. :flag:

[RC_Drunkford]

I expect Gay to play a lot of minutes tonight. Seems like Pop rested him for this game

[Spurtacular]

If the Spurs are for real, they win this game by double digits at least.

[JeffDuncan]

Trap game.

[pookenstein]

If the Spurs are for real, they win this game by double digits at least.

What if they win it by 9, 8 or 7 with a last second bucket by the Magic? Will they be a fools gold team then? What if they'd win by 1 with both DeMar and LMA resting?

[Mirrornick]

idk why but 6-2 looks better than 7-2. weird

Magic have a -12 differential. If that happens, you can have your hopes that it was but an off game.

In this 4 game winning streak for the Spurs...

Marco Belinelli has been a +27.3
(114.8 ORtg on/94.4 ORtg off and 87.5 DRtg on/97.2 DRtg off)

Pau Gasol has been a +29.8
(109.4 ORtg on/106 ORtg off and 79.6 DRtg on/99.0 DRtg off)

Spurs as a team posted an NBA best 95.2 DRtg

[MVPCues]

1058919222351413248

Thanks for posting. Compared to some, DeMar is a quite articulate.

[MVPCues]

We might get a real good look at Metu today if Pop rests some as expected.

[Spurs fever]

I don't know about you guys but I haven't had this much enthusiasm watching the team in a couple years. I guess all the new prospects has me pumped and intrigued. Not saying watching 2 healthy wasn't fun.

[bklynspursfan]

Dag, Gay is out. Heel soreness again

[daslicer]

Dag, Gay is out. Heel soreness again

Hopefully they are just resting him for precaution reasons.

[Budkin]

The Magic are my other team and easily the worst in the league. Hope this one is a laugher.

[Spurs da champs]

Dag, Gay is out. Heel soreness again

Figured that's why we didn't see him in 4th.

[Spurs Brazil]

pAulGarciaNBA

It looks like Rudy Gay did get hurt after all last night. The Spurs are listing him as doubtful tonight with right heel soreness.

Gay didn’t play at all in the 4th.

White, Walker IV, and Murray are all out too vs Orlando

[Chinook]

Damn. Was hoping for the opposite with Gay. Makes sense to rest him on a B2B, but I was hoping they'd avoided that with how little he played. We'll see how the guys are on no rest. They really need a real fourth option who can step up when guys miss time. Can't expect it to be Gasol.

[timvp]

Gay has been limping all season, tbh. Hopefully it's something he can play through and eventually get to 100%.

[TDomination]

I hope gays injury is just minor and will be okay for the next game.

[Mirrornick]

It's a racial hatred against odd numbers that was bred into us when we were little kids.

That's true, I've always hated the human race. Big animal lover though

[Mirrornick]

Is DD/LMA playing? I hope pop don't rest them. DD is an ironman. Every game matters for HCA.

[Mirrornick]

I don't know about you guys but I haven't had this much enthusiasm watching the team in a couple years. I guess all the new prospects has me pumped and intrigued. Not saying watching 2 healthy wasn't fun.

DeMar is a great player + winning games = fun to watch!

I hear you man

[LittleCriminal]

Spurs by 6.. Book it!!

[heyheymymy]

:flag:

[iGetbuckets]

Easy win:clap

[NASpurs]

Isn't doubtful leaning more towards not playing but not completely ruled out? Still, there's a slim chance he could play.

[DAF86]

So, who starts for Gay, Bertans or Belli?

[Mirrornick]

With Rudy Gay out, DD will explode for 50. If he explodes for 50, oh man I'm going to explode too.

need to have lots of tissues just in case

[Mirrornick]

Do y'all think if prime Rudy Gay played in the east for 10 years. Would he have had made it to the all star team at least once? I am not counting the Raptors. He was terrible there. DeRozan was the clear cut better player at that point.

He had the talent for sure. Maybe in the less stacked conference, he would have made it in the east?

[Nathan89]

Win the easy ones now while we can. :flag::flag::flag:

With a name like that you'd think this account would be older.

[Nathan89]

Thanks Batmanu for creating a great game thread with a lot of curated content.:clap

I bet it's Pondexter tbh

"A veteran rest day"? They just had 2 days off, will have another 2 after this, it's the first back to back and it required no travel.

They also barely have enough competent NBA bodies to fill a rotation and are no longer playoff locks. Games like this (at home, against a bottom feeder) at the exact kind a team of their caliber needs to treat as a must win.

If he wants to play his shtick, do it in games they'll be hard pressed or unlikely to win no matter the circumstances.

Your critique would seem more rational is Gay played full minutes yesterday. It's more likely that Rudy feels some pain, could play, but Pop is sitting him to make sure nothing gets worse. Bursitis isn't like a normal injury; the only remedy is rest, and it's really easy to aggravate. Spurs can't afford for Gay to be out extended time again, even with DeRozan. If there's any concern about his heel, you rest him, even if it gets framed as just a "veteran rest day".

[Coach X]

Gay's heel injury is concerning. It bothered him all last season and is affecting him again. Healthy Rudy is great, injured Rudy not that much.

Who will replace Gay as starter? One from the second unit? I'd say a third-string player like Pondexter/Metu could have an opportunity today.

I misunderstood. I took "veteran rest day" to mean others would sit as well . . . which should have been obvious from my post.

so we just be trading baskets all game?

I'd still prolly take Aaron Gordon and give up a first for him (provided the pick ends up in the 20s).

spurs look dead

Defense has regressed the last three quarter tbh.

[dbestpro]

Pondexter comes in and make his presence felt.

[DAF86]

Spurs better not think about losing this game.

[Mirrornick]

DD just standing there smh

[TheGreatYacht]

Fatty Mills is a god damn disaster

[Mirrornick]

They're runing plays for Mills lmao

[NASpurs]

Jesus Christ man, at least get a shot off.

What's that, like 3 or 4 TOs in a row?

[playbonner15]

LMAO Qpon

[dbestpro]

Sluggish.

[playbonner15]

Spurs gonna be blown out by Orlando :lol

[Robz4000]

Well shit, looks like Orlando might rape the Spurs like they did last year early in the season.

[NASpurs]

Simmons about to have 40 with Forbes on him.

[Immortal Spur]

we desperately need a spark.. put metu in or something...

What the fuck, Marco?

marco :wow

[TheGreatYacht]

Fatty will get an assist for that shit pass. Fucking shame

[playbonner15]

BIG BALLA BELLI

[K...]

so basically we have one pg on the team, Derozan, and if he's tired we are shit. The system gets a few buckets on it's own, but yuck

[dbestpro]

No ball movement by Spurs. They are not making Orlando work so they are full of energy when it comes to their offense.

[Mirrornick]

Please involve DeMar next quarter.

[playbonner15]

No ball movement by Spurs. They are not making Orlando work so they are full of energy when it comes to their offense.
I can feel the team's coasting. Better for Pop to put in the reserves

[Mirrornick]

Btw Mills doesn't deserve an assist for that pass to Belineli. That's a LeBron assist

[TheGreatYacht]

You know it's bad when PATFO have to make segments about Poeltl's last name rather than his play.

[Jordan Jackson]

Meh. It's Orlando.

Keep it close and they'll remember they're the
magic and fold.

[james evans]

Wtf man. Why do we struggle with these guys every year?

[Immortal Spur]

orlando just shooting lights out. supposdedly they have the worst FG percentage in the league... go figure

[TheGreatYacht]

Fatty House is single handily responsible for their lead and Crater face won't do a god damn thing about it

[dbestpro]

Spurs need a gut check or this is going to be over real soon.

[Mirrornick]

dont worry yall. DD will bring us back :P

have faith

[playbonner15]

Wtf man. Why do we struggle with these guys every year?

Non playoff East team, no motivation to beat

[BlackAndWhite]

Patty Mouse

[NASpurs]

Spurs always make look Orlando like they're an up and coming team that's turning the corner.

Then Orlando goes back to be a bottom dwelling team for the rest of the season.

[dbestpro]

Fatty House is single handily responsible for their lead and Crater face won't do a god damn thing about it

Lots went wrong when Qpon came in.

[playbonner15]

Giving up 36 to this Orlando team :lol

[BillMc]

Grrrr....!!!

[RC_Drunkford]

gon take a lot of energy to come back from this. Hope our top players ain't tired in the 4th

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Beyond pathetic defense for the Spurs. This has Orlando by 20+ written all over it

[DAF86]

So much for that improved defense.

[Mirrornick]

dont stress it yall. DD got us

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Marco is so poor defensively and not even giving any effort tonight. Magic run the exact same curl action for TRoss like 6 of 7 trips down the court and he never makes any adjustment

[TheGreatYacht]

Simmons shut down Harden in the playoffs, who is a better version of DeRozan. Not surprised he's doing the same.

[boutons_deux]

DAMMIT, PAU IS USELESS

[Robz4000]

Poetl making some noise

[kuato]

Forbes is not able to defend, never was, never will be.

[Mirrornick]

Poodle

[playbonner15]

Poetl with the rebounds!

Enough bricks to build a castle.

Come on DD we need you superstar

[Immortal Spur]

give pau the night off tbh

[playbonner15]

Refs gonna make this a game :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Fatty showing Forbes some towel waiving techniques on his way to the bench.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

DD needs to pick up his play

[DAF86]

That's it DeMar. Get to that FT line.

[Mirrornick]

They can't guard DePumpfake

[K...]

dont stress it yall. DD got us

truth

[Mirrornick]

6 straight FT attempts nice nice.

[Mirrornick]

Vintage DeRozan

[kuato]

De Rozan does not knows what the word team is hahaha

[NASpurs]

Fuck off Fatty

[K...]

is derozen fumbling the ball so much a sign he's tired?

[skin27]

Lol magic has the lead?

[TheGreatYacht]

Fatty in, Magic run.

[Immortal Spur]

bamba the second coming of gobert

[K...]

Fuck off Fatty

at least he didn't also foul his blocker

[r0drig0lac]

Forbes is not able to defend, never was, never will be.

[Mirrornick]

Mills in no mans land LMAO

DD needs to get the ball back as soon as Mills touches the ball

[kuato]

Can we get Doncic? :P

[skin27]

What happen to our good defense?

[Mirrornick]

is derozen fumbling the ball so much a sign he's tired?

you mean when he drew the foul? he does that all the time. That's one of his go to moves.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Too much dead weight.

[skin27]

Like what I expected Vucevic will go off against us

[james evans]

Who the hell does patty think he is?

[NASpurs]

God I wish we could package Mills and Gasol for someone. I don't even care at this point who. Addition by subtraction at least.

[TheGreatYacht]

Fatty chucking every time he touches the ball and those are probably crater face's plays too.

[Mirrornick]

Nice D Poodle!

[NASpurs]

:rollin of course

[RC_Drunkford]

How's that a jump ball?

[NASpurs]

Fournier just drove the ball through 4 Spurs :lol

[NASpurs]

Save us Beli.

[Robz4000]

Only reason the Spurs are in this is because Orlando is foul happy.

[RC_Drunkford]

Marco out here selling all kind of fouls:lol Can't blame him

[james evans]

A whistle every other play.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Chucking these stupid midrange 20 foot jumpshots :lmao

[RC_Drunkford]

refs making all kind of make up calls now

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Knew Aldridge would miss that, he's soft as hell

[NASpurs]

"Mills is keeping the defense honest by taking confident jump shots"...

I can already tell what some people here are thinking.

[Nathan89]

Gotta give Marcos big balls breathing room or you will get a foul call.

[james evans]

Aldridge has lost all of his confidence

[RC_Drunkford]

post up LaMarcus. Is it that hard to figure out?

[TheGreatYacht]

What's the point of having a white American big like Eubanks instead of getting a guard so one of Forbes or Fatty don't have to be on the court at all times?

[Mirrornick]

DeJordan time

"Mills is keeping the defense honest by taking confident jump shots"...

If Patty would have died of terminal cancer this morning, we'd be winning this game.

I’ve watched most of the Magic games this year. There is no possible way they can keep this up. They are horrendous.

[Immortal Spur]

what was that poodle lol

[bklynspursfan]

Poeltl has been very good tbh

[Robz4000]

The worst offense in the league on pace to drop 130 points on the Spurs tonight.

I’ve watched most of the Magic games this year. There is no possible way they can keep this up. They are horrendous.
With Patty always leaving their shooters open to "help", there's always a chance.

Still, guys will be OK.

[Mirrornick]

Poeltl gotta stop making a 360 on defense

DJ Augustin made him go on a legit full 360 lol

[NASpurs]

They probably think they have a switch they could turn on the second half.

[Nathan89]

63 points to the Magic on your own floor... holy fuck.

What is their average per game?

[SpurPadre]

Benching Gay was really a tank attempt by Pop...and so far it's working.

style's make fights....a chaotic athletic team is our downfall. has been for awhile. IF we had decent guards we would wreck this team, but we don't, so we can't stop them

[playbonner15]

The worst offense in the league on pace to drop 130 points on the Spurs tonight.

[Jordan Jackson]

Too much Patty Mills. He's the source of those breakdowns during the end of 2Q.

Him and Pau put their teammates in shitty positions with their blown coverages.

Magic are one one of the lowest scoring teams in NBA.

[NASpurs]

What is their average per game?

Worst offensive rated team in the NBA.

[SpurPadre]

lol against one of the worst team in the nba at home?

No Murray, White, Walker and now, no Gay just for Pop's shits abd giggles really makes even beating the lowly Magic a hard objective.

[NameLess Scrub]

Is the Spurs defense really this bad?

Magic pretty much doing whatever they want and breaking down the defense with ease.

That was when Chris Bosh signed with Miami Heat.

[BillMc]

That was when Chris Bosh signed with Miami Heat.

Really? Very interesting.

[Mirrornick]

Really? Very interesting.

Yes that tweet means a lot to the raptors fans. Very strong tweet.

DD had that tweet pinned for 8 years. He took it down after the Kawhi trade. It was hard to see.

[John B]

I’m sure Pops yelling right now :lol

[SpurPadre]

Really? Very interesting.

Except that ended up working out for Bosh, tbh.

[Mirrornick]

Except that ended up working out for Bosh, tbh.

He won 2 titles but became a 3rd fiddle and ended his career at 32. I feel bad for him.

Players should respond and tell him to stop trying to tank games by benching players for bullshit reasons.

[SpurPadre]

I doubt he's suffering, tbh. Derozan still awesome though.

[Spurs fever]

Did Bill Land just say Raptors instead of Magic? Lol

[r0drig0lac]

damn

[daslicer]

I doubt he's suffering, tbh. Derozan still awesome though.

He is suffering. I have seen interviews where Chris admits battling depression after suffering from his blood clots. He also stated numerous times since Lebron left Miami that he didn't enjoy being the third fiddle and dealing with all the insults that he had to endure by being the third wheel during the big 3 era.

[DAF86]

Well, that's game. The Spurs are who we thought they were.

[SpurPadre]

DeRozan deserves a lot better than this...

[Robz4000]

This one's about over. Not sure whether Gay is that important to this team or they're just regressing to the mean.

[BillMc]

Holy Hell...

[Mirrornick]

DD should just ISO all the way from now. No one else doing anything.

[Nathan89]

He won 2 titles but became a 3rd fiddle and ended his career at 32. I feel bad for him.

At least he got that last big contract.

[Mirrornick]

Just realized I hot 500 posts already , wtf

[duncan2k5]

I thought some smart guy on here told me defense doesn't matter in the NBA nowadays?

[SpurPadre]

He is suffering. I have seen interviews where Chris admits battling depression after suffering from his blood clots. He also stated numerous times since Lebron left Miami that he didn't enjoy being the third fiddle and dealing with all the insults that he had to endure by being the third wheel during the big 3 era.

damn...I stand corrected. Depression is a tough deal.

[TheGreatYacht]

No he isn't. Look at him in the bench taking all this shit like the faggot he is. Absolutely no fire left.

got it down to -5 then boom, -14

[Mirrornick]

At least he got that last big contract.

hate responses like this. it's like money buys all the happiness in the world...

[Leetonidas]

Can't believe spurs are getting sonned by a pathetic magic team

[John B]

Spurs didn’t come to play. Careless and no defense

[Spurs fever]

Derrick and Lonnie!

[SpurPadre]

This one's about over. Not sure whether Gay is that important to this team or they're just regressing to the mean.

He is that important when 3 other players are out due to REAL injuries.

[NameLess Scrub]

What did we do to deserve such bad defense?

[NASpurs]

Just bring this shit down to like 7 to start the 4th.

[TheGreatYacht]

Well, that's game. The Spurs are who we thought they were.
Bertans starting or even playing SF is also what we thought it'd be.

Who was DeMar playing at 2:00 AM in late June of 2010?

No, it's not like that. It's like if his career is going to end then it's fortunate he received a big contract to end it.

[NASpurs]

:lol they can't miss

[Spurs fever]

Forbes back down to earth.

[Budkin]

This is an absolute mess. Guys just assumed they’d win tonight because the Magic. One of those nights in the NBA I guess.

[cjw]

Overreacting to a second night of a back to back. Just like overreacting to beating Pelicans, Wolves and Lakers. It’s early.

[Robz4000]

At least Gordon is on my fantasy team...

[BillMc]

LMA looks tired

[Nathan89]

That awful defense tho
