Game Thread: Spurs @ Pelicans - Nov. 19, 2018 @ 7:00 PM CST

[bklynspursfan]

One's literally the worst team in the NBA.

I take that back, they've won 3 games now and Cleveland has 2. Point still remains.

Some of their losses were without Booker too, no? If nothing else, he can win a couple games for them

[manning20]

are these guys wants to quit as early as this 3rd qrt? ... fuck

[anon]

Are we seeing contract year Ethan More? Tiresome player

[Spurs fever]

Spurs can't stop them

[bklynspursfan]

Randle with the elbow to Poeltl

[skin27]

Fuck this team!!!

[Leetonidas]

So tired of seeing garbage defense night in and night out

[Robz4000]

:lmao Pelicans are gonna drop 150 points tonight

[timtonymanu]

Let’s go Pels!

[Spur916]

Matador defense.

[NASpurs]

Some of their losses were without Booker too, no? If nothing else, he can win a couple games for them

Yeah like beating our team by 20+ and not winning since. :lol

[YoungbuckMurray]

This is the most pathetic D I’ve ever seen jeeez

[RD2191]

This is the most pathetic D I’ve ever seen jeeez

That's what she said!

[Indianman]

Why is Metu in?

[boutons_deux]

so many easy buckets for Pels, no pressure at all

[NASpurs]

Why is Metu in?

Human victory cigar... for the other team.

[DAF86]

Can't make a single stop. :lol

[anon]

Why doesn't Pop just drop his pants and take a loose shit on the court? Would rile the team up.

[skin27]

Let’s just accept that our pathetic team will miss the playoffs this year

[Leetonidas]

Metu is going to get destroyed by Randle

[timtonymanu]

Let’s just accept that our pathetic team will miss the playoffs this year

:lol people still believing in that

[212094ever]

Metu is just lost out there, he's intriguing but definitely raw.

[NASpurs]

Next 3 games:

Grizzlies
@Pacers
@ Bucks

M
A

[SuperCam]

Spurms suck tbh. Maybe they can get more wins from teams missing players.

[Spur916]

and when they miss they get the board.

[BatManu20]

Just zero defense tonight. Might be tired from last night, but that's ain't gonna cut it.

[NASpurs]

Forbes always yells late to switch on defense everytime he plays with Metu. Dude needs to know who he's playing with. Not the first time that's happened.

[boutons_deux]

60% while spurs spectate

[NASpurs]

:lmao I think Metu got nutmegged

I need to rewind that shit.

Nah he didn't... the pass went by his hips but not between the legs.

[bklynspursfan]

Next 3 games:

Grizzlies
@Pacers
@ Bucks

2-1 tbh

[anon]

Metoo getting clowned

[TDMVPDPOY]

metu sucks monkeydick man...gtfo

[BatManu20]

Randle killing us tonight

[ducks]

Spurs have not held them
Under 30
Must in 4

[skin27]

This team has no winning instinct.. purely mediocre

[BatManu20]

Rebounding.... awful all night. That's the difference in the game

[anon]

:lmao I think Metu got nutmegged

I need to rewind that shit.
He looked so stunned :lol

[bklynspursfan]

DeRozan picked it up. Aldridge not so much. Hopefully we finish the game how we started it

[YoungbuckMurray]

Randle absolutely adusing the spurs

[boutons_deux]

spurs -20 for 2nd, 3rd qtrs

[Joseph Kony]

Forbes and Cunningham on fire in the first and get nothing in the second half so far :lol

[DAF86]

Impossible to come back if you can't stop shit, tbh.

[SAGirl]

Jeeezus what a high scoring game... not stopping anyone are we?

[skin27]

40pts for the pels in the 3rd? Pathetic defense

[Spurs fever]

Aldrige is so inconsistent

[bklynspursfan]

Aldridge has to grab that ball. Right in his hands

[NASpurs]

Haven't kept NO below 30 points for a quarter :lol

[Mirrornick]

they're killing us on the glass. playing d but cant secure the rebound is the same as playing no d

[bklynspursfan]

No shot of course

[NameLess Scrub]

This team's defense is so bad the Magic turned around their season thanks to the Spurs.

[YoungbuckMurray]

How much popcorn did LMA have before the game man!!!

[boutons_deux]

mediocre effort mediocre results

[John B]

Were we trying to lose with Forbes, Metu, Cunningham line-up?

[bklynspursfan]

Butter fingers Aldridge

[skin27]

Fuck aldridge!!!

[Robz4000]

:lol Holiday just walked to the rim

[John B]

Fucking Aldridge is soft!

[NASpurs]

:lmao they just go straight to the basket and score

[skin27]

they're killing us on the glass. playing d but cant secure the rebound is the same as playing no d


spurs leading in rebounds 32-31

[TDMVPDPOY]

same ol spurs with the same ol shit, where they go 3-4 mins without a made fg....

t

[Robz4000]

:lmao and he does it again

[John B]

6pts??

[bklynspursfan]

Now an easy layup for and 1 and he bricks it smh

[Arcadian]

What a faggot team

[YoungbuckMurray]

Layup after layup after layup

[Robz4000]

It'd be one thing if the Pelicans were just hitting tough shots but they're getting anything they want with minimal effort.

[Barfunk]

We just cannot stop them

[NASpurs]

:lol almost 120 points and there's still 9 minutes left in the quarter

[Dhbsr555]

Why are we going to aldmiss

[YoungbuckMurray]

Aldridge brick again. Pathetic

[John B]

Forbes with the pouting!

[Spurs fever]

Goodness. ..

[Indianman]

We can't get back into the game if we don't play some fuckin defense

[Spurs fever]

Aldrige for John Wall or Beal?

[SpurPadre]

We're making D'Antoni's Suns teams look like an all time great all first NBA defense team.

[Darius Bieber]

God damn this team is trash

[Indianman]

Aldrige for John Wall or Beal?

Do it RC

[SAGirl]

:lol almost 120 points and there's still 9 minutes left in the quarter
:lol well I guess the tank is back.

Damn I am only half trolling.

[John B]

Can’t wait for Walker to play some defense

[SAGirl]

Why is Poltl not playing?

[SAGirl]

Forbes with the pouting!
:lol

[John B]

No call?

[Dhbsr555]

Look like pop giving up of la

[John B]

Let’s go Rudy!

[hater]

took Lamarsha out too late tbqh

he looked like a 50 year old Duncan out there

[Darius Bieber]

took Lamarsha out too late tbqh

he looked like a 50 year old Duncan out there

Would rather have Duncan out there tbh

[SpurPadre]

Giving up 2nd chances in the 4th quarter has been a recurring theme so far this season

[NameLess Scrub]

This team's defense is so bad they might get hired as turnstiles for a business building.

[skin27]

Cunningham didn’t have fg attempt so far in the 2ndhalf

[NASpurs]

:lol well I guess the tank is back.

Damn I am only half trolling.

And the schedule doesn't get any better.

[Darius Bieber]

This team's defense is so bad they might get hired as turnstiles for a business building.

No business wants that bad of a security.

[hater]

we played pretty decent tbqh

except the fact we don't have any bigmen :lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

Welp another loss where LA completely shits the bed.

[Degoat]

Sigh We’re just so mediocre

[Jay.From.NbTx]

Guess Dante and bryn picked the wrong half of the game to make stuff ...
Laughing at this trash defense tbh

[John B]

Wtf??

[SAGirl]

Bryn on fire at least but what a waste...

[John B]

Time out!!

[Spurs fever]

Can’t wait for Walker to play some defense

In the G-League.....

[John B]

This is painful to watch :madrun

[Darius Bieber]

This team will be hovering around .500 all season. Get used to be mediocre or worse tbh

[YoungbuckMurray]

Beli defense ugh

[NameLess Scrub]

No business wants that bad of a security.

:lol

[Degoat]

You have to think Pop isn’t cool with this, somethings got to give. The defense has been atrocious all season

[TDMVPDPOY]

now we all know why lma is not the piece to build around...fkn scrub

[Mirrornick]

Pau Gasol is the hero we need

[Robz4000]

This team will be hovering around .500 all season. Get used to be mediocre or worse tbh

With the strength of schedule about to get crazy this team will be well below .500 by the middle of December.

[Degoat]

We’re stuck with LA too, no way spurs ever ship him out

[DAF86]

Expected pathetic performance at this point.

[sasaint]

This team will be hovering around .500 all season. Get used to be mediocre or worse tbh

If LMA doesn't pick it up, I don't see us hovering around .500.

[SpurPadre]

Can’t wait for Walker to play some defense

He'll hold Mills to 2-10 shooting at practice, tbh.

[John B]

Pelicans have some hot dancers tbh :lol

[Larry O]

As LA (Lousy Arse) goes, so goes this team. His lack of energy and hustle zapped the life out of this team. If this team is going to have a chance to win, he must score at least 20 points a game and play solid defense. SMH. Hope he is up to the challenge against Marc and the Grizzlies on Wednesday. GSG!!!

[Chris]

Eubanks sighting

[sasaint]

Pau Gasol is the hero we need

:lol Pathetic.

[Figa]

Once DJ comes back, LMAo will be the Spurs' 4th best player. He's turning into Melo before our eyes.
China is waiting for him, his fadeaway bricks won't be missed...

[NameLess Scrub]

If LMA doesn't pick it up, I don't see us hovering around .500.


Did they feed him early in the 1st quarter? I'm starting to think they gotta.

[Chris]

Good job Eubanks :lol

[anon]

now we all know why lma is not the piece to build around...fkn scrub
He never was three seasons ago. Now he's 33. Prime Pop material.

[Russ]

Forbes 5 of 6 from three on the road . . .

[John B]

Eubanks just prevented Davis his 10,000 pts :lol

[NameLess Scrub]

Welp Davis stat padding turning into a hit.

[Mirrornick]

spurs leading in rebounds 32-31

did you not watch the 3rd quarter? they were scoring on 2nd chance points. Stop reading stats

[sasaint]

We’re stuck with LA too, no way spurs ever ship him out

Not sure. I could see him demanding a trade again. Trouble is, he has tanked his value which was already pretty low.

[TDMVPDPOY]

If LMA doesn't pick it up, I don't see us hovering around .500.

should trade him

[ducks]

Pelicans have some hot dancers tbh :lol

better then your wife

[Chris]

Shit pass from White

[NASpurs]

White is good a couple of times a game to pass the ball when the pass isn't there.

[Chris]

Metu just got a first class ticket to Pop's doghouse with that dunk

[John B]

We need Eubanks when we play Kawhitter tbh :lol:lol

[skin27]

Welp, goodluck next game

[NASpurs]

Randle wanting that trip dub

[SAGirl]

Memphis best Dallas 98/88 tbh some teams still play defense...

[John B]

Eubanks!

[NASpurs]

Randle wanting that trip dub

He got it now.

[Bynumite]

... and back to .500 they go :lmao

[tim_duncan_fan]

I can not wait to draft a big with our lotto pick.

[ducks]

some guys have balls to play d some do not

pop lost his balls 3 years ago

[John B]

Pon got handles

[Chris]

Start Eubanks

[ducks]

spurs have to many short people to play very good d
mills has to get the fucking hell off the spurs

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol eubanks, is he the enforcer role taking out players? fkn scrub man

[Degoat]

I feel like Pop has already mentally broke Derrick White

[Larry O]

The opponent's score is a testament to the Spurs' lack of defense... SMH....

[ElNono]

Couldn't watch the game, but 140-126... must've been a great double-overtime game...

[ducks]

I feel like Pop has already mentally broke Derrick White

he is trying his liberal fucking views

[John B]

140 pts yikes. That just put us back to 23 in defense :pctoss

[SpurPadre]

126 points in regulation and we lose...never thought I'd say that in a Pop coached team.

[ducks]

126 points in regulation and we lose...never thought I'd say that in a Pop coached team.

pop is not coaching his wife died he can not be bashed
let him collect his millions and take millions from spur fans

pop is one fucking selfish prick
if he steps aside spurs could have a real coach with becky

[NASpurs]

Blazers, Clippers, Grizzlies and Ws are all tied for first... and the Spurs are only 3 games behind them :lmao

[JeffDuncan]

I'm trying to figure out why we didn't lose by 40. The Pels suk.

[SAGirl]

If this team is going to have a chance to win, he must score at least 20 points a game and play solid defense. SMH. Hope he is up to the challenge against Marc and the Grizzlies on Wednesday. GSG!!!
Marc is that playing at an MVP level... maybe LMA is up for that but Memphis is playing very well right now.

[Ditty]

I can't wait for the day that Pop and RC are gone.

[John B]

We were down like 2 pts before that Cunningham, Metu, Mills, Belli lineup tbh

[JeffDuncan]

I can't wait for the day that Pop and RC are gone.

I think they're already gone. But the season is still young. All things are still possible.

[Degoat]

I miss kawhi and Danny lol jk screw kawhi! We’re just not that talented compared to other teams

[Gordy58]

Pick and rolls always kills us. It’s so frustrating, and if we switch, we’ll have guys like Beli, Forbes, or Mills on Anthony Davis Julius Randle guys. We need those 6’8-6’10 athletic wings.

[Degoat]

Are there any realistic Def players that the spurs could add?

[Blackhaus]

How to metu look?

[DeRozan m8]

Get lma the Fvck outta here

[wildbill2u]

Well, look on the bright side. We only lost by 14 points. That's less than 1 point for every player, right? All we need is for every player to hold his counterpart to an average of 11/2 points.

[Nathan89]

Held them under 150:danceclub

[Rusty]

b-b-but the culture!:lol

[Hoops Czar]

Don't worry, Derrick White will come to the rescue any second now.... :lol

[Jay.From.NbTx]

Never thought I’d see my Spurs suck this badly ... damn..
On the bright side maybe all these L’s light a fire under the FO’s ass to get something done.

[cd021]

he is trying his liberal fucking views

lol what?

[TDMVPDPOY]

LMA has a midget on him, yet cant score over the midget...this guy is pathetic man

ts a perimeter league, and we got jackshit

[sasaint]

should trade him

If we had a pro-active FO, we prolly would. But PATFO will wait for another demand from LMA, which I expect before long. Practices have to be a serious challenge for Pop these days. He can't hold the prima dona accountable like he did Tim. So, I wonder how he handles LMA's "slump".

[sasaint]

I feel like Pop has already mentally broke Derrick White

Has mishandled him every step of the way, so far. But I hope you are wrong.

pop going to this pos to make him happy cause of touches, at the expense of all the players who was shown the door after his first year here....

shouldve just kept kawhi and get rid of this clown...unmotivated injured kabitch is still better then watching this clown zoning out in games

[Hoops Czar]

Has mishandled him every step of the way, so far. But I hope you are wrong.
Yes, he should have put him in a doggie bag and mailed him back to the G-league where he belongs. He's just a very "special" version of Kyle Anderson.

[tim_duncan_fan]

I don't want to make a thread.

What could we conceivably get for LaMarcus?

I want a pick.

[Down Under]

We have to play Walker when he comes back, he can't be worse defensively than Belinelli & Mills. Might as well try & get him into a 3 & D role.

[Robz4000]

I don't want to make a thread.

What could we conceivably get for LaMarcus?

I want a pick.

A late first rounder, if that. Spurs might have to trade for a middling player with a bad contract if it comes to it.

[Hoops Czar]

A late first rounder, if that. Spurs might have to trade for a middling player with a bad contract if it comes to it.
Then what's the point? LMA's extension hasn't even kicked in yet. He's owed 50M over the next two seasons.

[Russ]

I don't want to make a thread.

I want a pick.

Carmelo Anthony.

[Robz4000]

Then what's the point? LMA's extension hasn't even kicked in yet. He's owed 50M over the next two seasons.

Exactly.

[Degoat]

And after what the organization went through last season it would look bad to trade Aldridge

[Hoops Czar]

Exactly.

Trading a bad contract for a bad contract doesn't make sense. The Spurs should be looking for expirings and a mid to early 20's 1st round pick. You could shoot for the moon and ask for a lottery pick but it's ublikely any team would budge on that. RC and Pop will just get bent over in negotiations anyways. And the fact that Aldridge still has 50M remaining on his contract, it limits what the Spurs can get for him.

[sasaint]

And after what the organization went through last season it would look bad to trade Aldridge

Nah. Looks like a course correction. Besides, no matter how bad it looks, it doesn't look as bad as the team looks on the court.

I'm saying thats what it would have to come down to at this point. Like you said, LMA is due a lot of money over the next few seasons and his play so far this year is nowhere near worth that money, so no (competent) team is gonna be willing to take it on without compensation from the Spurs. Someone like the Suns desperate enough for a big and to be relevant again may take the gamble that a change of scenery may reinvigorate him, but realistically and with how poor a job PATFO have done in recent years I can't see them getting any value for LMA (and may just further set the franchise back).

PATFO should have stepped down at the end of last season and let a new regime take over at that critical transitional juncture. That said, at this time the Spurs would need to make a multi-player and probably a multi-team deal; they cannot afford to move LMA without getting another big back.

[The Closer]

Ok I let us down today. :cry

[RD2191]

Ok I let us down today. :cry

That's what your mother told your father the day you were born.

[tbdog]

This game showed how desperate we are for a hard-working combo forward. We need a banger. We need some edge out there. We need someone to bang for LMA who looks terribly exhausted controlling the boards.

[kaji157]

That Mills contract looks worse everyday.
Spurs should be looking to buy him out if Walker comes in ready to play.

Is there any team that has SF, PFs or Centers in bad contracts and that are short at PG?

[Mugen]

:lol What's their road record again since beginning of last season?

Can't wait for the Rodeo Road Trip so Pop can really teach them about what's needed to win away from San Antonio....

You literally described Dante and the Spurs still suck. What the team needs is NBA level talent and they don't have anything close to that for half the roster tbh :lol

After

March

Don't even need to wait that long tbh. It's already happening.

[BackHome]

That's what your mother told your father the day you were born.

DAMN :fro

[Mugen]

Not even a bad loss tbh, they always shrivel up when in NOLA, they pussed out even when Timmy was on the team back in 2015.

The worse the team performs defensively, the higher the chances Pop actually takes responsibility for building such a terrible roster.

But then again, he might be too far gone at this point. I'm sure he still thinks he was the main reason for the defensive success of past Spurs teams and not guys like Timmy, Kawhi, Danny, tbh.....
