Game Thread: Spurs @ Suns - Wed. (11/14) - 8:00/C (4:00am Riga Time)

[SuperCam]

this is a 30 something win team unless spur luck out getting to play a bunch of tanking teams to close the season

[timtonymanu]

Hasn't figured out that you need to stagger White and Derozan's minutes, an actual lineup tonight of Patty/Beli/Forbes/QPon/Poetl, Dante Cunningham getting Tim Duncan like minutes.....

But yeah, Spurs fans are really going to miss Pop when's hes gone :cry

He should have retired with Manu. I can understand staying post Timmy cause Nephew was still here. But the reigns need to be passed on to a hungrier coach. Expectations wouldn't be high anyway unless another Tim Duncan franchise player falls into their laps.

[Chinook]

Good point. When you look at it that from perspective, this loss isn't that bad tbh.

Booker and Ayton (and apparently everyone else on Phoenix) are really good players.

[Barfunk]

This all starts with Pop, obviously :bang

[Mugen]

Booker and Ayton (and apparently everyone else on Phoenix) are really good players.

:lol :toast

[Robz4000]

25 sounds about right imo.

[sasaint]

Thank god its only November

You are a glutton for punishment. I was bemoaning the fact it was ONLY November.

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

There's gotta be a name for the Mills/Bryn duo but they're pretty much the midget ball version of Bonner and Blair. Twin midgets.

[Xylus]

Are you guys still tanking?

Oh yeah

[Keepin' it real]

Gooooo Spurs!!!!!

[Xylus]

Stop losing guys. Zion is ours.

[sasaint]

obviously he's coaching, If he wasn't, Spurs might be winning this

True. Do I laugh or cry?

[John B]

Demar needs to handle the ball and get as much touches. White has to come off from the bench tbh

[Mugen]

Most interesting storylines left in the season left is how Pop is going to neuter DWhite and Lonnie on his way out, stay tuned.

[John B]

worst teams having the best game in Spurs expense :bang:bang:bang

[JPB]

I want my spurs back.

[bklynspursfan]

Demar needs to handle the ball and get as much touches. White has to come off from the bench tbh

I think White off the bench with Gay could be helpful.

[timtonymanu]

:lol everyone who told me this would be a Spurs blowout win

:lol just look at this roster. It's like the front office took the Mason/Bogans/Finley/Bonner core into 2019.

[Keepin' it real]

Dig in, boys! It ain't over yet.

[Robz4000]

So what moral victories can we take away from tonight other than at least we didn't lose by 50?

[fresnodog]

Going to be a difficult season to watch

[objective]

ugh, bad 4th quarter for White, pure meltdown mode.

I know he'll be better, but this game is just awful

[John B]

No defense!!!:bang:bang:bang

[sasaint]

He should have retired with Manu. I can understand staying post Timmy cause Nephew was still here. But the reigns need to be passed on to a hungrier coach. Expectations wouldn't be high anyway unless another Tim Duncan franchise player falls into their laps.

Should have retired (or been retired) immediately after last season, getting another GM and coach to handle the situation/trade of Number 2.

[SuperCam]

1 road win the last 8 months. pathetic

[slick'81]

Could we really be looking ata top 10 pick with lma and defrozen?

[Degoat]

Sigh don’t want to make any excuses but this is kinda what happens when you’ve been good for so long and haven’t had any lottery draft picks to develop in years

[Mugen]

All these beautiful teaching timeouts by Pop to a group that stopped listening to his old ass back in training camp. Probably telling the guys that they need to funnel the drivers baseline to Timmy :lol

[slick'81]

Make Spurs Great Again

[slick'81]

Down to 13...oops read my phone wrong its 113-93 lmao

[SAGirl]

Has this team imploded?
I don't recall a loss this demoralizing last season. And not this early into the season.

[JPB]

So what moral victories can we take away from tonight other than at least we didn't lose by 50?

Spurs won the 2nd quarter.

[boutons_deux]

@home PHX moves up for 2-11 to 3-11

[Keepin' it real]

Monster block by Pertyl!

[sasaint]

I don't recall a loss this demoralizing last season. And not this early into the season.

The most demoralizing part is Pop will be back on the bench next game.

[SpurPadre]

Two of our wins were lucky and we should really be 5-8, tbh.

[Keepin' it real]

Never say die!!!

[SpurPadre]

So what moral victories can we take away from tonight other than at least we didn't lose by 50?

Kawhi choked.

[Keepin' it real]

You gotta want it!

[timtonymanu]

Two of our wins were lucky and we should really be 5-8, tbh.

Still have enough time to get an under .500 record.

[Robz4000]

:cry we have to give the Suns a lot of credit!! :cry

[sananspursfan21]

Remember the other night when Pop called them soft? And then all the news articles said they couldn’t wait to play and prove him wrong? They didn’t really do that, did they?

[Keepin' it real]

#Metu sending a message with that hard foul!

[SuperCam]

Two of our wins were lucky and we should really be 5-8, tbh.

like i said spur will have a negative point differential on the season after tonight despite a top 5 easiest schedule so far. unless something drastic changes this team will finish bottom 10-12

[Barfunk]

I don't recall a loss this demoralizing last season. And not this early into the season.

This loss is infuriating.

[TimDunkem]

Still believe this team is good, PATFO slurpers?

[Mugen]

Masai managed to get the best player in the trade, get contract year Danny, keep all his young wings, have RC pay him 5mil....AND offload Poetl. Just wow, probably the GOAT GM move this century.

RC could have thrown in the 5 championships and a lot of posters on this board would have probably argued that the Spurs didn't have a choice :lol

[SpurPadre]

Still have enough time to get an under .500 record.

True..ugh.

[JeffDuncan]

Garbage time, time to send in the scrubs. Oh wait....

[Mugen]

:cry we have to give the Suns a lot of credit!! :cry

"Hey you win some and lose some, look at Philly losing to Orlando tonight!"

[JPB]

Pop playing mind games for the playoffs, no worries guys.

How would they be able to argue with their tongues up Pop and RC's assholes?

[NASpurs]

2 road wins in the past year or so :lol

[John B]

embarrassing losing streak to bad teams :bang:bang:bang

[timtonymanu]

But the team still has det culture by keeping Patty Mills.

All true, but the century is young. It might take some doing, but Pop/RC could still outdo themselves.

[SpurPadre]

TD and Manu must be rolling in their graves, tbh.

[John B]

they should buy their own greyhound tickets to LA.. FUCCKKKKK!!!!

[Barfunk]

Pop playing mind games for the playoffs, no worries guys.

Lmao I like how you used an aqua color

[NASpurs]

Someone check my nigga raybies internet access please :lol

[JPB]

Where's the official meltdown thread ?

[anon]

Sean already talking about wine. Don't know about you lads but it's a nice night to get shitfaced. Pop and Buford shouldn't be the only ones having a good time as the house burns.

[Mugen]

timvp - I need the grades my dude. I'll kick it off with Pop at a B+ because "There's not much you can do when LMA gives you 2 points..."

[slick'81]

:cry we have to give the Suns a lot of credit!! :cry


Dat talent doh

[John B]

:pctoss:pctoss:pctoss

[Degoat]

Yeah Jakob was the worse player we could get in that trade �� delon Wright, Vanfleet, siakam, OG are all better

[SAGirl]

The most demoralizing part is Pop will be back on the bench next game.
It wouldn't be demoralizing if they were tanking/rebuilding but they allegedly wanted to be competitive...

[SpurPadre]

Hopefully, this can turn into a positive where Pop will really consider shaking things up in the rotation. Yeah, we're limited up and down the roster but we're better than this, really.

[Robz4000]

Someone check my nigga raybies internet access please :lol

Is he still camping tbh?

[Mugen]

"Ok fine but you gotta at least give me Poetl"

[Leetonidas]

Hopefully, this can turn into a positive where Pop will really consider shaking things up in the rotation. Yeah, we're limited up and down the roster but we're better than this, really.

Nah. He'll just continue to think its because Rudy and Gasol are out and continue to trot atrocious lineups out there. This whole team really needs a shakeup.

[sasaint]

It wouldn't be demoralizing if they were tanking/rebuilding but they allegedly wanted to be competitive...

For me it has been demoralizing since last spring. Holts need to step in.

[NASpurs]

Is he still camping tbh?

Probably camping in California. RIP

[timtonymanu]

Hopefully, this can turn into a positive where Pop will really consider shaking things up in the rotation. Yeah, we're limited up and down the roster but we're better than this, really.

Yeah bump up Pondexter's playing time.

[007nites]

Just got back home. Good god almighty I almost puked when I saw the score. This has got to be the lowest of lows.

[SuperCam]

timvp (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=8) - I need the grades my dude. I'll kick it off with Pop at a B+ because "There's not much you can do when LMA gives you 2 points..."

Starting with PATFO.

The fact were looking forward to 33 y/0 gay and whatevers left of gasol coming back:cry

[bklynspursfan]

I don't recall a loss this demoralizing last season. And not this early into the season.

Not even the beat down in Orlando?

http://www.espn.com/nba/team/schedule/_/name/sa/season/2018/seasontype/2

Record wise, we're about the same.

[itzsoweezee]

RC could have thrown in the 5 championships and a lot of posters on this board would have probably argued that the Spurs didn't have a choice :lol

It was a horrible trade at the time it was made. Popovich got completely fleeced. Now they're stuck with DeRozan's albatross of a contract on top of everything else, with nothing but probably the last pick in the first round to show for it. What a shit show

[itzsoweezee]

Rudy Gay is probably the best player on this team

[SpurPadre]

Yeah bump up Pondexter's playing time.

I'd rather see him than Forbes' motherchucking ass, tbh.

[John B]

Yeah Jakob was the worse player we could get in that trade 😂 delon Wright, Vanfleet, siakam, OG are all better
In fairness Poodle played some good basketball

[sasaint]

This loss better motivate the spurs. It's absolutely humiliating

I don't really expect this team to respond like that. I think they fold. No guys like Tim, Tony, Manu who know how to handle these losses.

[SAGirl]

Not even the beat down in Orlando?

http://www.espn.com/nba/team/schedule/_/name/sa/season/2018/seasontype/2

True but that one was like Orlando this season already... You can only have so many throw the tape out games.

[Chinook]

Ujuri sold Pop a damned lemon there.

[JPB]

I need a Poetl of whisky now.

Might have just been 5d chess because that trade will probably end up getting us a top 3 pick.

Are there any top 3 prospects with a fucking girl's name so that at least Pop and RC can scout them? Patty and Bryn sound like a couple of hot co-eds tbh.

[timtonymanu]

TD21 getting shit on per usual for calling it at the start of the game thread.

[slick'81]

In fairness Poodle played some good basketball

Off the benchand in limited minutes....noway should he have been included unless it was a straight throw in fOR KAWHI

[sasaint]

True but that one was like Orlando this season already... You can only have so many throw the tape out games.

This crappy team will have a bunch more.

[John B]

This loss better motivate the spurs. It's absolutely humiliating
I thought that was two loses ago :lmao:lmao:lmao

[NASpurs]

At least Joffrey Lauvergne had good games before that injury made him intolerably bad. Poeltl is levels beyond sucking than Joff.

[Mugen]

:lol My dude...we knocked off "embarrassing loss to the Magic" three embarrassing losses ago

[objective]

Could we really be looking ata top 10 pick with lma and defrozen?

Sure looks that way.

Easy schedule, lots of rest days so far, and LMA has already washed out, Gasol broken down, Gay breaking down ...

And Pop hasn't played his ultimate tank card yet ... 35+ minutes a game for Mills

[JPB]

How did this team even won seven games ?

[NASpurs]

Most of those could have been losses if not for Demar hitting clutch shots.

[JPB]

Let's see what this team gives with Rudy and Pau. Margin of error is thin obviously but west is mediocre this year. Spurs can still sneak in the PO if they can somehow stay healthy.

but damn, that's hard to watch.

[venitian navigator]

It wouldn't be demoralizing if they were tanking/rebuilding but they allegedly wanted to be competitive...

you can't be competitive if your same players don't look like they want to win...this game was as bad as it could be, expecially coming from a loss...In see no fire in the main players and the bench looks like they have already lost hope in the team. Frankly humiliating. I wouldn't be surprised if in little time the way will be to clean the house...and tank. Anyway a team that lose at home with Orlando and by 20 points against the worst nba team can't have any hope to actually compete at the play off level...

[timtonymanu]

I'm all for tanking than to see this team get swept by Golden State once again in the first round.

[Mugen]

We used to roll out the fucking bench to get us wins against bottom dwellers. How the mighty have fallen. :lol

[NASpurs]

If the Fakers win against the Blazers, it'll move them up to 8th and make the Spurs fall to 9th :lol

With the incoming losses to the Clippers and Warriors, 12th or 13th is looking like a possibility by Sunday.

https://twitter.com/JabariJYoung/status/1062922391775514624
Fuck you Jabari Young. These people can’t wait for Spurs to finally look bad tbh

[Mugen]

It honestly sucks that the Spurs are in San Antonio too. Nobody will call Pop or RC out for any of this shit , you see it with the inept beat writers and Sean/Bill not even dropping a hint of criticism towards the club's play.

[skin27]

This game should have been a win..fuck the spurs for losing to shitty team they supposed to beat

[SAGirl]

How did this team even won seven games ?
2 of those the Lakers just choked harder.

[SAGirl]

Memphis winning in Milwaukee of course.
I knew it but didn't want t to rub it in. Memphis has been ransacked with injuries. Played heavy minutes of just 8 guys and a Gleague call up and still won that game on the road. I wasn't watching it but it's an impressive win for them....

[TimDunkem]

:lmao when are they unveiling the "Utah Lost Too" banner....what a fucking fall for a once proud franchise, from their cuck reporters all the way to the top of the food chain

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Everyone gets a B+

[BackHome]

Man a lot of drama queens out tonight it blows my mind that loosing possibly three future Hall of Fame players ie: Tony, Manu, and KY and people think we will make play offs. We are doing a soft tank just sit back and watch the young guys get better ie: White, Walker, Metu.

Hopefully we can get a top 10 pick get a starting SF and with second pick depending on who we let go or trade a PF

[sasaint]

What is wrong with LMA?

Looks like he wants out.

[BatManu20]

Lonnie is injured, Metu belongs in summer league for the next 3 years, and DWhite gets pulled for any single mistake or when Bryn says he's ready to get back into the game.

Even if Lonnie was healthy, he'd probably throw his back out when Pop makes him carry Patty and Bryn's bags to the arena.

no you're thinking of Bertans

and (as some other poster has already argued) Spurs need to start running plays for Bertans, get him some open 3's, give him consistent minutes, get him some confidence.

why even sign the guy if this is how you're going to play him?

[valleybeyond]

Call me romantic or anything but the streak matters to me and I'll never take the tanking road. Do your best, get some PO experience to your youngsters and see what happens.

Or just give the ship to GS already and let's all go meditate in the forest.

Last time I checked they were 7-5, son.

in less than 1 month this will get interesting

[r0drig0lac]

Sigh don’t want to make any excuses but this is kinda what happens when you’ve been good for so long and haven’t had any lottery draft picks to develop in years

no, spurs had a chance to risk on guys with more potential, did not because they did not want to, this argument does not really work.



https://twitter.com/JMcDonald_SAEN/status/1062924841106501632

:cry other teams lost too :cry

the modus operandi of some in the spurstalk is exactly the same: compare our past (when we had one of the top 5 to play the game) with the past and present of other teams to feel better as if it really mattered.

Maybe, maybe not. Only 13 games played with injuries.

Hopefully, they'll be at full "force" (minus Dijon) and we'll see what this team is about, with an LMA who can't suck that terribly for the whole season. Dude couldn't throw it in the ocean right now.

But if your point is they'll be in the bottom, the answer is no. they'll be in the run for a PO spot all along with the other teams which for the most part aren't much more convincing now.

If recent history holds, the Spurs are going to lose 30-35 games on the road. Add to that the fact that they aren't real good at defending their home court, and this team, as currently constituted, is not competing for a playoff spot.

when we had the 4 (Kawhi, Duncan, Parker and Manu) I saw several lottery teams practically delivering games to the Spurs at the end of the games, they were afraid of us and did not really believe they could beat our team,
no team is afraid of spurs nowadays, they were defeated by the worst team in the league and had no control of the game in any moment.

I really do not care so much about the standings as the way the team plays and especially its potential for improvement. and the spurs potential for improvement is very low (relative to the league's overall level, not relative to ours since we're not playing anything at all)

I really do not care so much about the standings as the way the team plays and especially its potential for improvement. and the spurs potential for improvement is very low (relative to the league's overall level, not relative to ours since we're not playing anything at all)
That was the truth. Our bench beat their starters back then. Now its almost the opposite

There isn't a SINGLE team in the league that the Spurs could play that would make you say "Easy win for SA". Not ONE

Nope, we've been in shambles. Cleveland would be a close one.

I told you idiots that Dr. Popovich should have known better than to presume this team was a virtual lock to beat anyone, particularly on the road.

As an aside, I wonder how long until Gay and others, who want to play and know this team needs all the help it can get, grow tired of his shtick and have their frustration boil over.

Thought I was too busy to stop in and gloat.

This thanksgiving I’m grateful for some time off to say thanks for the 3rd win and the smile brought to my face seeing it was a asswhooping!

And hey, tonight we got win 4 two weeks later!

Shit, we suck awful.

Sucks to lose to us by 20!
