Game Thread: Spurs @ Bucks — Sat. (11/24) - 7:30/C (3:30am Riga Time)

[Emperor]

Spurs may pull this one out.

[bklynspursfan]

yep, 12 excellent minutes by SA, practically perfect as far as possible

Agreed. Need it 1 more quarter now.

[boutons_deux]

finally got some separation

[SpurPadre]

regardless of the result, except the bad start, this is a great game overall by the team, they are facing an extremely tough team

Agreed and without Gasol and Walker.

[sasaint]

Strong quarter there. :tu

Especially on the offensive end. Man, if we could only muster some D in the 4th!

[siraulo23]

If the Spurs win, it has to be one of if not the best W of the season

[skin27]

Shocked we made all 3 FT's there. :wow


no surprised there..I’ll be surprised if mills miss two straight freethrows

[bklynspursfan]

Nice active D and leads to a Gay layup

[ducks]

Bucks o is best in nba fools

[sasaint]

Freak almost took off Patty's head on that moving screen.

[SpurPadre]

Have we ever scored over 100 after 3 quarters other than against D'Antoni's Suns teams?

[Mirrornick]

Might be one of the best turn around games by demar I have ever seen. He started off hot trash and playing like the best player on the floor right now.

[DAF86]

finally got some separation

7 pts in today's NBA feels like a one possession game, tbh. :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Especially on the offensive end. Man, if we could only muster some D in the 4th!

Yeah. They looked good on that first possession. As long as they keep getting good looks, and don't turn it over, they should be ok.

[ducks]

Bucks 4 best d in nba though

[bklynspursfan]

Dammit Ferrari. Bucks announcer's said Pop was going off on him lol

[bbarry]

I hate these time outs.

[sasaint]

Dammit Ferrari. Bucks announcer's said Pop was going off on him lol

Yeah, Sean did, too.

[skin27]

Might be one of the best turn around games by demar I have ever seen. He started off hot trash and playing like the best player on the floor right now.


giannis going for 20/20 though

[TDomination]

I'm glad finally Pop is going off on Marco. I hope he benches him for that stupid shot.

Rudy Gay is tearing it up out there and to go up and take a quick shot for no reason when we have all the momentum. Then of course they answer with a 3. I truly hope that is not a momentum changer.

[TDomination]

Seriously, freakin Gay man. Playing like an All Star. Goodness

[r0drig0lac]

wtf aldridge

[SAGirl]

This game is a lot more impressive than the one last night.

[Dhbsr555]

Pop don’t take bertans out!!!!

[BatManu20]

They suddenly can’t miss from 3

[ace3g]

Patty/Forbes combo...

[bklynspursfan]

There you go Aldridge. Bully them

[r0drig0lac]

Lamarcus emasculating Giannis, I love it

[skin27]

Aldridge should get his 20 so that we win..haha

[sasaint]

Patty/Forbes combo...

Hold your breath...

[TDomination]

Good response after Bucks cutting the lead to 4. Spurs playing pretty decent. I like.

[james evans]

If Aldridge only knew how big he was every game......

[r0drig0lac]

If Aldridge only knew how big he was every game......

yes it's really disgraceful how he can not just do this in every fucking game

[Barfunk]

If Aldridge only knew how big he was every game......

[james evans]

Lamarcus emasculating Giannis, I love it
I never knew he was this bad of a defender. I only watch him twice a year

[ducks]

Lma only has 15 will he get 20?

[r0drig0lac]

I never knew he was this bad of a defender. I only watch him twice a year

in fact he leads all the defensive metrics in the league, Aldridge is just too strong inside for just about any player in the league (maybe not Joel)

[sasaint]

Freak shooting FTs like Steve Nash.

[ducks]

Bucks shooting 48 percent since first

[skin27]

Fuck here comes the bucks

[bklynspursfan]

Weak

[DAF86]

Please get Gay and Bertans in there to finish this off.

[bklynspursfan]

Dammm

[r0drig0lac]

Derozan!!!

[TheGreatYacht]

There's no doubt in my mind Fatty Mills is taking that empty side of Pop's bed. This old faggot is in love with that cancerous piece of shit

[ace3g]

DeRozan!!!

[spursparker9]

No one can stop Greek Freak 1 on 1

[212094ever]

Make Giannis a shooter, give him the ol' LeBron treatment.

[skin27]

Cunningham getting destroyed by the Greek freak

[TDomination]

man after that dunk, we better win this game!

[Mirrornick]

Devince

[SAGirl]

It’s actually the bench that has killed the bucks, those 17 points from Davis.

[BatManu20]

They double Aldridge and our offense collapses. Need to run a different set.

[skin27]

Fuck we’re going to lose

[james evans]

Why does Forbes feel he has to shoot the ball everytime he touches it?

[BatManu20]

God this defense..

[TheGreatYacht]

DeRozan trying his hardest to stop the Pop late 4th quarter meltdown

[spursparker9]

Game!

[Quiet Strength]

Free throw fest 2018

[r0drig0lac]

Demar really needs more help

[SAGirl]

Derozan !

[TDomination]

we simply cannot stop them.

its either a made basket or a foul. goodness

[spursparker9]

Every time Greek attacks, at least 2 FTs

[james evans]

There's no doubt in my mind Fatty Mills is taking that empty side of Pop's bed. This old faggot is in love with that cancerous piece of shit
He has to be

[DAF86]

Is Pop really going to finish the game off with the starting lineup that is -20 for the game?

[TheGreatYacht]

These crater face sets :lmao

Just ISO DeRozan you old fuck

[sasaint]

we simply cannot stop them.

its either a made basket or a foul. goodness

Yep.

[DAF86]

Is Pop really going to finish the game off with the starting lineup that is -20 for the game?

Fuck you Pop.

[bklynspursfan]

Welp.. smh

[Degoat]

Geez

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Get the gutless worms thread bumped again. Fuck this team

[spursparker9]

Game!!

[skin27]

Fuck this team!!!

[TDomination]

welp that sucks. we just couldn't get a stop

[DontStopBelieving]

Dante Cunningham sucks.

[Degoat]

Only Derozan should have been in from the starters

[twincam]

41-41 yup

[Leetonidas]

Fucking 24-8 collapse. Jesus

[Mugen]

good effort but not surprising when you're a garbage defensive team, good loss tbh.

[BatManu20]

Zero defense to speak of. Can’t win games against good teams when you can’t get a single stop

[TheGreatYacht]

Crater face is going to throw some more dirt on ex players to distract us from his mediocre coaching

[boutons_deux]

4th qtr collapse, 20 - 33, so far.

[bklynspursfan]

Wow

[SpurPadre]

Welp that's game. Valiant effort but their shooting is relentless.

[cjw]

Foot on line on that three? No review?

[Genovaswitness]

team should honestly tank at this point. not wasting a time going to any games this year and you shouldn't either

[ace3g]

Closing with Patty/Forbes..

[ducks]

The Bucks on a 24-8 run for the lead got us like...

#FearTheDeer

[skin27]

Giannis woke up in the 4th to fuck us

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Pop is a huge problem... Never goes back to Bertans, Giannis abusing Cunningham - might as well get some offense out there

[bklynspursfan]

That was a weak call man

[sasaint]

Only Derozan should have been in from the starters

No. Rudy has been excellent.

[Barfunk]

Giannis Durant

[BatManu20]

Literally cannot get a single stop. For like 2 and a half straight minutes. Shit’s wild.

[BlackAndWhite]

Gayreek Freek

[cjw]

God this defense..

Tough to play D on this MVP

[james evans]

That was a palm. He put his hand under the bal as if he was gonna shoot it and put it back down.

[bklynspursfan]

Pop is a huge problem... Never goes back to Bertans, Giannis abusing Cunningham - might as well get some offense out there

Giannis would do worse things to Bertans lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Not tanking this season is a huge screw up

[r0drig0lac]

our defensive problem is not about training, is about the roster, there is no possible defensive upside with the list that we have that can put us among the best teams in the league, unfortunately

[SAGirl]

Is Pop really going to finish the game off with the starting lineup that is -20 for the game?
Will get a B+ from timvp :-)

[BatManu20]

Dagger. Lol Patty’s defense

[cjw]

Man. Bucks offense is kind of good

[bklynspursfan]

Dammit

[Leetonidas]

Of fucking course. What a choke job

[DAF86]

Can't get a single stop.

[james evans]

Patty mills in the game leads to open 3s because someone always has to step up and help him.

[Degoat]

Wow

[siraulo23]

gg

[SPURt]

Could not get a stop basically the entire 4th. Suck.

[sasaint]

Will get a B+ from timvp :-)

:lol

[TDomination]

i think we got 0 stops in the last 8 minutes of the game.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Not tanking this season is a huge screw up

[Mugen]

Games like giving up 140 to NOLA and 134 tonight to Milwaukee are great losses tbh, keeps up the tank and exposes the roster and Pop.

[MVPCues]

Good game. Spurs showed a lot of grit.

[212094ever]

They're gonna lose again after scoring 125+

[james evans]

Hahaha wtf

[Barfunk]

Big time choke in the 4th

[bklynspursfan]

Seriously Aldridge lol

[TheGreatYacht]

CRATER FACE OUT OF TIMEOUT PLAYS LMFAOOOOOOOOO

[BatManu20]

Lol couldn’t even get the ball inbounds

[Leetonidas]

The entire season epitomized by that play. Goodnight folks

[Degoat]

I hate Aldridge

[timtonymanu]

Good effort but another loss is what we needed.

[Mugen]

:lol Pop having Lamarcus stick to Lopez and giving the Bucks a free trip down the lane is classic senile Pop, so classic of a basic adjustment not made.

[spurs10]

Tough loss.

[Barfunk]

Basketball gods do not like us this year

[james evans]

Welp. Onto HBO fight.

[TheGreatYacht]

Once I saw the old senile fuck with a clipboard I knew it was over

[boutons_deux]

Man. Bucks offense is kind of good

Spurs defense fucking sucks. layup after layup, no interior D, no shot blocking, opponents regularly shoot well over 50%

[weebo]

There was a time when the Spurs used to win games like these...

[ducks]

Pop should not bash trump !
Basketball gods do not like it

[SpurPadre]

We can talk about the shitty defense, especially off the perimeter but the ineptitude at 4th quarter execution is so frustrating to see with this team of veterans.

[Mugen]

I mean if you're Demar, how long before you ask for a trade?

It would shake pussy ass Pop and RC to the core, they'd probably end up trading him back to the Raptors for Van Fleet or some shit :lol

[Dverde]

Stretchy got 20 free throws. Atleast 10 in the 4th.

[BatManu20]

We played a lot better than I thought we would tbh. Battled all game long after a game last night. But I’d rather lose comfortably than blow leads down the stretch tbh. Oh well.

[ducks]

Bucks o is best in nba
Bucks d is 4 best

Idiots

[sasaint]

There was a time when the Spurs used to win games like these...

I was thinking something very similar.

[Mugen]

Overall, great loss tonight tbh.

136 to the Bucks, Tank goes on baby! :flag:

[twincam]

It hurts to see DeRozan waste his talent with this group.

[boutons_deux]

Bux avg 45%, but against the spurs, like everybody else, shoot 57%

[Degoat]

Yeah I have no idea why we kept giving LA the ball vs Lopez all night

[Boomersgold]

Anyone know why Cunningham is a starter? Hasn't that dude been irrelevant his whole career?

[Mugen]

We can talk about the shitty defense, especially off the perimeter but the ineptitude at 4th quarter execution is so frustrating to see with this team of veterans.

How is that surprising? They have no PGs on the team and Derozan has to do everything. Pop ran with the Patty/Forbes backcourt that started the Bucks run and inexplicably didnt even have Derozan handle the ball :lol

[TimDunkem]

What can you say? This is just a bad team.

[Dverde]

I think this team is improving. Pau actually would have helped in this game. Cunningham is such an average defender.

[SouthTexasRancher]

It is beyond time for LMA to hit the road. This loser is totally worthless. We'll never get close to another championship with this useless bum. The guy doesn't even try. At least DD and some others are giving their all and that is all you can ask for. But, LMA has no heart. No fire in his belly. Defend him if you will but, I'm more than finished with the wimp! :ihit

[boutons_deux]

bucks 4th qtr, 40 pts

[Mugen]

In all seriousness, probably Pop's best coached game of the year. Coached okay for about 41 minutes before completely not giving a fuck and ensuring the L and keeping that tank alive, good shit tbh.

[TDomination]

everyone expected for us to be blown out. so the fact that we were even in the game in the end was a surprise.

with that said, we had a 10 pt lead in the 4th with like 8 minutes to go. we scored 129pts. derozan had 34pts. this should've been a W. but because we have no D. We get no W.

We let a perfect opportunity slip. I love Gay and Derozan. Aldridge needs to be more consistent but that is just not who he is. He is a hot cold kind of dude. Sucks. Losing record once again.

[Larry O]

It's interesting that when LA entered the game in the 4th quarter, and tried feeding it to him, he blew scoring opportunities and then the energy, flow and lead went to poop.

[SAGirl]

Welp! Impressive offensive game. This loss wasn’t unexpected.

[Jay.From.NbTx]

So this is how the Suns and Kings fans felt all these years....

[JeffDuncan]

No Bertans toward the end. Mills and Forbes. Stupid loss.

Tank baby tank!

[boutons_deux]

Anyone know why Cunningham is a starter? Hasn't that dude been irrelevant his whole career?

yep, just a journeyman, not a starter

[Budkin]

Pop should not bash trump !
Basketball gods do not like it

If that were true, every single team in the NBA would lose every single night.

[skin27]

Like I said if aldridge did not get his 20 we’re gonna lose..

[Dverde]

They need to learn to pass more, they remind me of the shitty teams we would beat in the last two minutes five years ago.

[Genovaswitness]

yep, just a journeyman, not a starter

culmination of our genius PATFO's decision making

[TDomination]

Milwaukee showed why they are #1 on offense in the NBA

[Mugen]

yep, just a journeyman, not a starter

:lol Dante has no business being in the league, let alone starting tbh

[SpurPadre]

How is that surprising? They have no PGs on the team and Derozan has to do everything. Pop ran with the Patty/Forbes backcourt that started the Bucks run and inexplicably didnt even have Derozan handle the ball :lol

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one not fooled by Forbes' double-digit scoring too know how horrible he is, tbh.

[SpurPadre]

If that were true, every single team in the NBA would lose every single night.

THIS. Fuck that Orange piece of shit.

[Mugen]

Well I'm glad I'm not the only one not fooled by Forbes' double-digit scoring too know how horrible he is, tbh.

Nobody should be fooled, Bryn will always give up more than he scores even if he's dropping 25.

[TDomination]

It's interesting that when LA entered the game in the 4th quarter, and tried feeding it to him, he blew scoring opportunities and then the energy, flow and lead went to poop.

it did. not sure if its correlated with him coming in but greek freak woke up at that point. foul after foul after foul. he knew he just needed to attack the basket. he was either going to get fouled or score. but it might've been the lineup pop threw out there. i think if we could have continued to score, at some point they would have gotten deflated and started forcing shots. but because our offense began slowing down, they saw an opportunity and ran with it.

[Degoat]

I don’t necessarily like the lineup that got us back into the game in the 1st quarter but we should have gone back to it at some point I don’t think Pop ever used that lineup again

[SpurPadre]

Nobody should be fooled, Bryn will always give up more than he scores even if he's dropping 25.

Some myopic motherfuckers here think Forbes is a godsend.:lol

[JakeCuenca]

Derozan can handle the ball really well. Really mind boggling why cant just handle the ball

[SpurPadre]

We're not that far behind other teams...problem is, we can say that in every game played. If PATFO stand pat and Walker doesn't make an instant impact, we could realistically be the best bad team in NBA history. We should be 6-13, tbh.

[SAGirl]

Anyone know why Cunningham is a starter? Hasn't that dude been irrelevant his whole career?
The Centerpiece?

[slick'81]

We are what we are..basically a .500 team

Amazing play.

[Jordan Jackson]

Either this team is tanking or Pop has Alzheimer's because Patty and
Bryn should never be on the court together...ever.

[RD2191]

:lol spurms

[NASpurs]

Either this team is tanking or Pop has Alzheimer's because Patty and
Bryn should never be on the court together...ever.

Stubborn old man will go down with the ship if it means to holding on to the philosophy of Don Nelson’s midget ball

[cd021]

I don’t necessarily like the lineup that got us back into the game in the 1st quarter but we should have gone back to it at some point I don’t think Pop ever used that lineup again

I thought that lineup looked really good and was active on both ends, though I am really out on Beli at this point.

It's like he made a bet to take a only off balance shots this season.

[cd021]

Cunningham is the guy in pickup basketball games that is clearly less talented than everyone else so he just tries harder to make up for it. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't.

[Spurs da champs]

He fouls so much.

[BackHome]

We’re not very good talent wise but we played hard most teams with our talent would be in bottom 5 of league.

[ducks]

THIS. Fuck that Orange piece of shit.

Yeah how dare the economy get better and USA has fucking boarders
And not throwing money to other nations that do not help the USA

[Barfunk]

20 freethrows

[tim_duncan_fan]

We’re not very good talent wise but we played hard most teams with our talent would be in bottom 5 of league.

This.

And people want to get rid of Pop. So stupid.

We just need to take these 38 losses, look like we kinda tried, and pick someone talented, athletic, and large for their position in the draft. Then bring back Dejounte, coach up Walker IV, and start running teams out of the gym.

[SpurPadre]

Yeah how dare the economy get better and USA has fucking boarders
And not throwing money to other nations that do not help the USA

Economy= Obama's doing

Racial harmony= Orange Satan's undoing

Cost of living is still out of whack and only the richest are benefiting off things now anyways. Oh and Orange Satan is also taking a giant shit on the environment and people's healthcare.

ORANGE MAN BAD!!!!!!!

[paperboy77]

Good guys played well.... mostly. Tough loss. Can’t really blame anyone. Bucks just won.

[paperboy77]

Whoa... that was a crazy +/- stat for the starters vs bench.

[Slippy]

We all expexted the overall D to take a hit buy when it matters most this spurs team can't get any stops. The last six mins their team d was nonexistent. Watching Dante defending Gianis with no help and Lopez dribbling from the 3point line unimpeded was laughable

[Slippy]

Btw another spectacular dunk from Demar. Wasn't easy and he made sure Gianis was part of the action by double pumping over him for the flush.

Damn shame another winnable game slipped away

[r0drig0lac]

Some myopic motherfuckers here think Forbes is a godsend.:lol

and Dante...at some point, they will give an essay on how these players are legitimate starters and would be starting in most teams in the league.

[NameLess Scrub]

https://images2.imgbox.com/af/e2/AcQD5fOk_o.gif

DeMar is an amazing athlete. He's definitely making some highlights this season.

Wasn't able to watch live so watched the condensed version. Team seemed figured out by the Buck's defense at the beginning, then came back and were good most of the game until they couldn't close. In the box score it seems they did good offensively. I guess the defense betrayed them again. Giannis was scoring too easily but then again he's been very dominant. It hurts more too see guys like bledsoe and Middleton hurting the Spurs in the 4th quarter.

As painful and unwatchable this team's defense is a lot of times, it does feel like they should've won at least 4 more games, which would make them 13-6 and good for a high seed in the west.

middleton is a star, Bledsoe even after the injuries is still a very strong and athletic guy (besides being better in playing basketball than any pg on our team), what hurts is having no one to hit back

[NameLess Scrub]

You made me look into Middleton's numbers and they are much better than I thought :lol

LaMarcus had good shooting numbers. Why didn't he shoot more?

[kaji157]

Clearly Mills is a burden, White is not either at full strength or NBA ready and Forbes is not "heavy minutes" material.
DJ has the ability to at least control other NBA pg's, the void left by his injury is that we have to play Mills and Forbes a lot.
If you count that out, adding a 3-d SF and a backup center would be enough for us.

[ceperez]

We’re not very good talent wise but we played hard most teams with our talent would be in bottom 5 of league.

Isn't the Spurs the bottom five of the Western conference?

We're bottom 10...so I guess that's something?
