Game Thread: Spurs @ Lakers - Dec. 5, 2018 @ 9:30 PM CST

[DPG21920]

You say that like it wasn't true. It's becoming more than that now. Like what kind of lineup was that to close out the half?

Not at all - it was a point, not an objection.

[DPG21920]

What's wrong with derozen?


2nd half player son.

When you're watching the Spurs lose a game they could be winning with better coaching but then remember you'd rather have a higher draft pick anyways.

[SuperCam]

-12 from DeCancer smh

[RC_Drunkford]

This lineup sucks. Get Davis and White back in there

forget it, Cunningham is playing 40 minutes tonight, cause he's the LeBron stopper

Also Davis is the only one who hit a 3, matter of fact he made 3, yet Pop lets him sit on the bench

[BillMc]

Not being blown out yet. Moral victories.

I want immoral victories, tbh.

[bic50]

2nd half player son.
I'm starting to think he's legit depressed

One of the best bball gifs :lol

[Nivek_ogre]

I'd rather have Kevin love than Aldridge.

[timvp]

I'd rather have Kevin love than Aldridge.

Kevin Love and DeMar DeRozan on the same team :lol

[Spurtacular]

Shitty 2nd ruining my 1st half team parlay.

[pad300]

Good news. Only 50 after 2 quarters. On pace to hold them to 100!

[ElNono]

I'd rather have Kevin love than Aldridge.

Why not have both and lock in the #1 pick?

[spurs10]

I want immoral victories, tbh. You should come back to the States and run for office! :bobo

[DPG21920]

Let’s see if LMA can have a 2nd half. He had some success. I think he can take over but I’m not counting on it .

[Nivek_ogre]

Kevin Love and DeMar DeRozan on the same team :lol

It would suck but would still be better than watching aldridge give zero fucks and zero effort. Last years lamarcus is nowhere to be found

[spurs10]

I'd rather have Kevin love than Aldridge. Neither lis going to give you love.

[Spursfanfromafar]

The only players who looks like fits on the court with all-round play and suited to the modern NBA are Derrick White and Jakob Poeltl (and to some extent Rudy Gay). Rest seem to be all glacial blasts from the past.

[BillMc]

You should come back to the States and run for office! :bobo

:lol That made me laugh aloud.:toast

[KobeScored81]

You guys should be thankful that we only have 1 shooter on this damn team or its a blow out right now.

[spurs10]

:lol That made me laugh aloud.:toast :lol

[DAF86]

You guys should be thankful that we only have 1 shooter on this damn team or its a blow out right now.

Yeah son, we already know you suck. We figured that out from our previous two matchups.

[spurs10]

Clank!

[spurs10]

and 1!

[timvp]

Yeah son, we already know you suck. We figured that out from our previous two matchups.

Damn.

[Chinook]

McGee boxing out by kicking guys.

[Robz4000]

Yeah son, we already know you suck. We figured that out from our previous two matchups.

Shut the thread down here tbh.

[DAF86]

Hart's the refs bitch tonight.

[DPG21920]

Remember when last year LA beat SA but sucked overall and SA made the playoffs and LA fans celebrated. What twist lol.

[timvp]

Forbes with an amazingly terrible pass.

[NASpurs]

I thought Rudy was going to punch McGee or something . You can tell McGee is getting on his nerves

[DAF86]

Is Aldridge for real?

[DPG21920]

DeRozan 2nd half player. Also, Luke smart having Lonzo on Cunningham so he can roam and wreak havoc

[sasaint]

LMA follow-up... :lol

[timvp]

Aldridge................................

[DPG21920]

LaMarcus - come on man. What are you late stage Duncan with those missed chip shots.

[DAF86]

I love Gay.

[timvp]

LaMarcus - come on man. What are you late stage Duncan with those missed chip shots.

Sacrilege.

[DPG21920]

Of course McGee

[DPG21920]

Sacrilege.

Figured that would get a response.

[DAF86]

I love Gay.

I fucking love Gay.

[BatManu20]

LMA.. get big dude

[Chucho]

You guys should be thankful that we only have 1 shooter on this damn team or its a blow out right now.

:lol trying to hedge on the loss by making excuses.

:lol 0-3 this season against the Spurs coming in less than 20 minutes.

:lol King came to use the corpse of the Lakers for connections and not focused entirely on basketball

:lol no other stars coming

:lol LA Launching Pads

:lol 0-3 against the Spurs with the TOSB GOAT

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

I fucking love Gay.

[timvp]

Forbes is playing at an impressively low level.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

I swear to God if I have to see that LeFlop Cranberry Sprite commercial again....

[DPG21920]

Gay needs to be on a game plan. Let him play only every other game so at least when he plays he’s fresh.

[SpurPadre]

Forbes...just fuck off, please.

[BatManu20]

The Rudy Gay Show

[ElNono]

The whole Spurs gameplay right now...

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/needs_more_gay.jpeg

[DPG21920]

Forbes is playing at an impressively low level.

Reporter: Do you compared him to Gary Neal?

Pop: No, I compare him to Curry. Dell Curry. Like present day.

[jbspurs]

Gay to doghouse - Pop

[SpurPadre]

Forbes is playing at an impressively low level.

Not according to Udoka, unfortunately.

[timvp]

The whole Spurs gameplay right now...

https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/needs_more_gay.jpeg

Always figured Manu fans were Gay lovers, tbh.

[sasaint]

Forbes is playing at an impressively low level.

If his shot isn't falling, there's no legitimate basketball reason to keep him out there. White needs to get his minutes the rest of the way.

[ElNono]

Always figured Manu fans were Gay lovers, tbh.

And Vince Carter too, tbh

[HarlemHeat37]

Gay coming back from the Achilles injury and playing at this level should be receiving more shine..nobody has ever done what he's doing after a full tear..

[timvp]

That Euro Klay Thompson dude is so bad :lmao

[FaM0us Skins]

Lets gooooooo Rudyyyy

[Spurs da champs]

Rudy cooking Kuzma.

[Chris]

RUDY RUDY RUDY

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

The Church of Gay is open. Please bow

[DPG21920]

That Euro Klay Thompson dude is so bad :lmao

The real Klay is really overrated too.

[DPG21920]

LA is terrified of LMA. Rudy is getting everything because LMA gravity is sucking all the attention and they are afraid to help off of LMA.

[DAF86]

If you are not going to put any resistance, at least don't foul.

[Chinook]

Mark Jackson sucks.

[FaM0us Skins]

Both teams can't make a 3 tonight

[NASpurs]

White instead of Beli. Pop must want this one

[TheGreatYacht]

Gotta get that lead up before the Fatty Mills unit comes in

[ElNono]

Chuck it Rudy

[ElNono]

Mark Jackson sucks.

+100

[DAF86]

The Church of Gay is open. Please blow

Fixed, tbh.

[BatManu20]

Our 2 max players sucking rn

[DAF86]

Always figured Manu fans were Gay lovers, tbh.

Argies are open minded individuals, tbh.

[DPG21920]

Mark Jackson sucks.

You have been saying this for years especially with how he handles timeouts.

[timvp]

White instead of Beli. Pop must want this one

Weird way to tank, tbh.

[DPG21920]

Our 2 max players sucking rn


LMA isn’t sucking other than that awful missed put back.

[DPG21920]

Shoot the damn ball LMA

[timvp]

Hammer play FTW AKA Milwaukee.

[DAF86]

White with the monster rebound and the equally monster assist.

[timvp]

Got damn I love Euro Klay Thompson.

[ElNono]

LMA sulking again... smh

[Indianman]

Got damn I love Euro Klay Thompson.

By the same comparison, is Bertans Porzingis Lite?
I mean, Forbes is Curry Lite anyway lol

[sasaint]

Got damn I love Euro Klay Thompson.

Who is Euro Klay Thompson?

[DPG21920]

Hate having Rudy and LMA out at the same time.

[NASpurs]

Weird way to tank, tbh.

:lol I’m conflicted because 1) FTL

but that sweet, sweet high draft pick

[timvp]

How did Bertans not catch that?

[DPG21920]

Mark “Praise Jesus and Hookers” Jackson

[NASpurs]

Who is Euro Klay Thompson?

That white dude on the Lakers that keeps on bricking

[timvp]

Who is Euro Klay Thompson?

Mykhailiuk. Lakers fans were calling him Euro Klay Thompson after he had a few good summer league games.

[DPG21920]

How did Bertans not catch that?

Because this character was based on Bertans:

https://media.giphy.com/media/l3vR7w6khOfcHcCR2/giphy.gif

[Chinook]

You have been saying this for years especially with how he handles timeouts.

You say that like it wasn't true. It's becoming more than that now. Like what kind of lineup was that to close out the half?

[DAF86]

It's clear Bertans is less harmful as a perimeter defender than as a low post one.

[DPG21920]

You say that like it wasn't true. It's becoming more than that now. Like what kind of lineup was that to close out the half?

I think you missed the joke (unless I did)

[BatManu20]

I don’t think Poeltl is capable of contesting a shot at the rim without fouling tbh. It’s actually impressive.

[Chinook]

I think you missed the joke (unless I did)

I thought we were repeating what we had said before.

[timvp]

DeRozan locked in. Let's hope he has the juice for the fourth.

[ElNono]

Watch Poop sit down DDR and Gay to start the 4th... here comes Forbes, Patty, Marco, Cunningham and LMA

[Spurs da champs]

I don’t think Poeltl is capable of contesting a shot at the rim without fouling tbh. It’s actually impressive.

He needs to foul harder then.

[sasaint]

Tbh, this feels like an immoral loss incoming.

[Ron Swanson]

I don’t think Poeltl is capable of contesting a shot at the rim without fouling tbh. It’s actually impressive.

https://media1.tenor.com/images/5327b52ec69d8336fcc729541fe4fc55/tenor.gif?itemid=11382871

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fixed, tbh.
+1000

[John B]

White is impressing me learning to play with Demar.

[DPG21920]

I thought we were repeating what we had said before.

Haha - but this was about Mark Jackson so he had not control over the lineu....never mind.

[JakeCuenca]

Gay should eat all of Aldridge shots.

At least when gay drives there is opportunity for a kickout.

[DAF86]

C'mon how's that a foul?

[DPG21920]

Bertans - IQ is not trill.

[sasaint]

Davis is having a rough night after a nice start.

[timvp]

Bertans is trying to get Pop to cut his pp off with fouls like that, tbh.

[ElNono]

Starter!

[Ron Swanson]

Nice pass by Patty to Poodle.

[Keepin' it real]

Incredible D by Derozan!

[pad300]

Looking good to keep them under 120!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Nice pass from Mills to Poetl

[DPG21920]

Tiago Poeltl

[spurs10]

Tbh, this feels like an immoral loss incoming. We got this! Not a blue and gold wave!

[DAF86]

I was gonna say that there was no need to put Gay back in so soon but that three shut me up.

[timvp]

Can we permanently stiffen Belinelli's neck, tbh?

[ElNono]

The Rudy Effect

[DPG21920]

I said hey, LA, baby I got your number, don’t you worry, LA, baby I got your number

https://images.complex.com/complex/image/upload/c_limit,w_680/fl_lossy,pg_1,q_auto/po44qbnopbobr2d2tgod.jpg

[Laker_1995]

Gotta give it up. Spurs are our damn Kryptonite. Ain’t afraid to say it they have our number. Rudy gay is a monster tonight

[Keepin' it real]

https://i.imgflip.com/xomu5.jpg

[ElNono]

We probably gonna choke this with LMA taking weak jumpshots... but that run was nice...

[$pursDynasty]

Osirus, the Ole dirty bastard

[DPG21920]

We probably gonna choke this with LMA taking weak jumpshots... but that run was nice...

Why you hating on LMA - he’s been solid tonight

[james evans]

We have a big lead. Guess what is about to happen with the lineup.

[sasaint]

We have a big lead. Guess what is about to happen with the lineup.

Anything less than 20 is not a big lead in the NBA.

[ElNono]

Why you hating on LMA - he’s been solid tonight

https://media1.tenor.com/images/2cd068a19f95a0fe62707386a856ceef/tenor.gif?itemid=4998904

[DPG21920]

Really crappy way to come out of the timeout. Give up an oop then a TO.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs choking right on schedule

[FaM0us Skins]

Good job DeRozan

[timvp]

Poeltl with some rim defense, no foul and a rebound :tu

[timvp]

Keep Poeltl in the game. Send LMA home early.

[ElNono]

Poeltl with some rim defense, no foul and a rebound :tu


Keep Poeltl in the game. Send LMA home early.

[DAF86]

I'm so tired of the soft and-1's.

[DPG21920]

Missed wide open shot leads to an and 1. sucks.

[Chris]

Lebron gets that subtle elbow in on his drives always like Shaq got away with elbows

[DAF86]

There comes LA.

[BatManu20]

Cunningham is so terrible man

[sasaint]

It's LeRef time!

[DPG21920]

Would like to see the replay on that foul

[timvp]

Forbes? At least put in Mills, tbh.

[ElNono]

It's Lebron at home, he's gonna get that call

[Spurs fever]

I knew when LeBron stared down the ref get was gonna get calls my on the next drive.

[John B]

LeBron sissy foul

[DAF86]

White has been great on everything but his shooting. That open three could have been the dagger.

[gospursgojas]

Give the ball to Rudy. Can’t allow Lakers to use Josh Hart on him.

[sasaint]

Lebron gets that subtle elbow in on his drives always like Shaq got away with elbows

More about shoulders than elbows. If the refs had believed that charging was a foul that bigs could commit, Shaq would have never played more than 20 minutes/game.

[Degoat]

I like white but is his shot completely broken geez! Should have Jakob in

[John B]

That was all ball be Poeltl. I’m liking this guy’s game more and more

[sasaint]

White has been great on everything but his shooting. That open three could have been the dagger.

Way too early for daggers, but yeah, he needed to hit that.

[BatManu20]

White just needs to get his jumper back. If he can start hitting some open looks, he’ll immediately be one of our best players.

[NASpurs]

I’m loving Beli’s minutes count.

[sasaint]

That was all ball be Poeltl. I’m liking this guy’s game more and more

Yeah, he has been coming on strong and showing consistent improvement. None of that one step forward two steps back stuff.

[gospursgojas]

I’m loving Beli’s minutes count.

Good jinx. He’ll close out game now. :pop:

[NASpurs]

ESPN with the wall of text

tl;dr

[DAF86]

White just needs to get his jumper back. If he can start hitting some open looks, he’ll immediately be one of our best players.

He already is, tbh.

[sasaint]

I’m loving Beli’s minutes count.

Pop is obviously snoozing this half.

[DPG21920]

Why Forbes? It’s not like he’s been hot?

[Ron Swanson]

I’m loving Beli’s minutes count.

Pop's gonna tap into that corporate knowledge and let him close.

[gospursgojas]

Those wide open threes are the difference between winning and losing. Simple as that.

[sasaint]

We miss our wide open 3, and they hit theirs. Sheesh.

[BatManu20]

Get Bryn out if the game. He fucking sucks tonight.

[SpurPadre]

Back to 4 on 5 with Forbes in...

[timvp]

White or Mills has to be in for Forbes.

[sasaint]

Those wide open threes are the difference between winning and losing. Simple as that.

[DAF86]

Tank lineup to finish the game.

[SpurPadre]

Get Bryn out if the game. He fucking sucks tonight.

He always fucking sucks.

[Ron Swanson]

We miss our wide open 3, and they hit theirs. Sheesh.

Story of this season, so far.

[NASpurs]

:wow Bron

[DPG21920]

Cunningham and Forbes in the guts of a game. Ok Pop.

[Chris]

It's LeRef time!

LeWhistle :lol

[BatManu20]

Bryn and Daunte in the game, immediately goes to shit

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Aldridge is such trash in fourth quarters

[DAF86]

Finally we got Gay a look.

[sasaint]

discombobulated offensive possession

[Ron Swanson]

31 for Gay :wow

[timvp]

Give it to Gay and get out of the way.

[Spurs da champs]

Rudy has Hart on him, how is he not getting the ball?

[bic50]

He always fucking sucks.
Forbes is curry 2.0

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Cunningham can't defend anyone, and Gay can't touch the ball because of Derozan

[NASpurs]

Bron doing the Spurs a favor :cry keep the tank alive

[Chinook]

:lol was that Adam Sandler?

[Xx_SpursNation_xX]

Adam Sandler looks like shit

[sasaint]

Forbes boxed out!

[DAF86]

Pussy Aldridge finally doing something.

[DAF86]

Pussy Aldridge finally doing something.

Nevermind.

[sasaint]

31 for Gay :wow

Gonna freeze him out in the 4th so that touches can get his.

[DPG21920]

Are you kidding me refs?

[Chucho]

God damn, Bryn Forbes really, really sucks. Dante can at least grab some boards.

The faggot ST GM "fans" should really aim their tired angry schtick almost exclusively on him.

[ace3g]

https://twitter.com/AirlessJordan/status/1070555784025698304

[Ron Swanson]

:lol was that Adam Sandler?

Put on your yarmulke, it's time for Hanukkah.

[Barfunk]

Lmao refs!!!!

[james evans]

These Mfers are trying to cheat

[Ron Swanson]

They had to review that? Fucking refs.

[sasaint]

Stoppage over a perfectly obvious call. Sheesh

[timvp]

WTF? Refs attempting to screw Aldridge out of that?

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

These fucking refs almost robbed us again like they did in the Memphis game

[Barfunk]

These Mfers are trying to cheat

Oh man I know all about that. You should have seen the Texas -OU football game.

[gospursgojas]

Man whistles came out strong for their master.

[Spurs fever]

Refs..

[timvp]

Weak call on Rudy, tbh.

[Budkin]

Weak call on Rudy, tbh.

Seems to get those a lot.

[timvp]

Good pass, Ball.

[DPG21920]

Big FT and scoring burst from Lma

[ElNono]

Patty is the worst game manager ever... we're winning, stop shooting early and shitty... just run a play

[DPG21920]

:lmao of course shitty Lonz

[Xx_SpursNation_xX]

Dammit balls

[sasaint]

Lonzo Curry again.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

How the fuck is Cunningham still in?!?!

[NASpurs]

Moral victory boys

[DPG21920]

Mills you complete garbage a** player

[NASpurs]

Game

[james evans]

Mills lost this game. How’s that for “leadership “?

[Spurs fever]

Patty's leadership ftw!

[DAF86]

If I see Cunningham in there after the TO I'm gonna lose it.

[Xx_SpursNation_xX]

50 million for that Australian bitch.

[timvp]

Tank Commander Patty.

[Chris]

50Mills keeping the tank alive :lol

[ElNono]

Patty is the worst game manager ever... we're winning, stop shooting early and shitty... just run a play

[SuperCam]

12:01

:lmao

[gospursgojas]

How the fuck is Cunningham still in?!?!

He’s not even guarding lebron.

[BatManu20]

Patty Mills fucking sucks

[spurs10]

Bullshit calls and stupid to's giving it away.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fatty is the gift that keeps on giving for other teams.

[sasaint]

How the fuck is Cunningham still in?!?!

Harder to tank with White and Bertans in the lineup.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Good TO fatty! Why is Cunningham on the Court he provides nothing!

[NASpurs]

Tank Commander Patty leading us to the glory land.

[TimDunkem]

Of course it was Patty.

[Degoat]

Don’t you just love patty mills, great leader... screw that guy

[ElNono]

Too much culture

[STM]

Leading into the abyss is still leading, tbh.

[NameLess Scrub]

:lol trying to hedge on the loss by making excuses.

:lol 0-3 this season against the Spurs coming in less than 20 minutes.

:lol King came to use the corpse of the Lakers for connections and not focused entirely on basketball

:lol no other stars coming

:lol LA Launching Pads

:lol 0-3 against the Spurs with the TOSB GOAT

Well they were missing open 3s. They've made some now so..

[sasaint]

Moral victory boys

No way. Immoral loss is what I called it.

[gospursgojas]

Now Cunningham is playing point

[boutons_deux]

Spurs go cold in crunch time, LBJ takes over

[spurs10]

Stop!

[ThaBigFundamental21]

Oh Mills....

[RC_Drunkford]

Mills out there taking over the game







for the Lakers. Why play White when you have Mills who will make sure you lose

[ElNono]

The worst part about that Patty turnover is that he was passing to Cunninham

[NameLess Scrub]

Welcome back, terrible defense.

[DPG21920]

Mills helping a pass away and gives up a 3

[TimDunkem]

Mills lost this game. How’s that for “leadership “?
He can't even lead a fastbreak or run a play. How the fuck this guy can be considered a leader is beyond me. Leadership isn't all towel waving and hand clapping.

[DAF86]

There was no need for a double team there. Just let Lebron take a fadeaway jumper with the clock running out.

[Xx_SpursNation_xX]

Pop is smart, he doesn't have to ask the whole team to tank he just needs to play Mills

[DPG21920]

Now Pop takes Cunningham out :lmao

[SuperCam]

LeGOAT :wow

[Spurs da champs]

The worst part about that Patty turnover is that he was passing to Cunninham

:lmao

[BatManu20]

Patty Mills must have a sex tape of Pop for him to be so awful and continue to get a free pass over and over.
