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

[sasaint]

LA Warriors in the 4th. SMH!

[DPG21920]

Is what it is. Lebron with a big shot.

[YoungbuckMurray]

How is that not an offensive foul?

[TimDunkem]

Why would you double on a postup to give up a three?

[tbdog]

Just typical NBA these days. They had four 3 pointers down the stretch and like 2 of them were just BS.

[DAF86]

Lebron has the nerve to complain after the refs let him get away with a charge. :lol

[Thebesteva]

Lol spur fan

[NASpurs]

Entertaining moral victory loss.

[ThaBigFundamental21]

Another L.

[NameLess Scrub]

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

[Mikeanaro]

:lmao Clutch Paddy.

[gospursgojas]

Make threes win game. New NBA.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Good brick fatty

[Degoat]

Welp at least with every loss we’re closer to a higher pick

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Gotta thank the Meme Brothers for infecting the NBA with this cancerous 3 ball

[Play Boban]

mills = PATHETIC

[DPG21920]

:lmao Mills Out of bounds shot in the clutch.

[ElNono]

Love Rudy, but the best for this team right now is if his Achilles snaps, tbh

[Kyle_Kuzma]

fuck you faggots, back to the cellar :lol

[Play Boban]

Make threes win game. New NBA.
Troof nuke

[YoungbuckMurray]

Another team gonna drop 120+ on us

[$pursDynasty]

This BS from Patty makes me want to curse Dabom(the Closer) out

[BillMc]

Damn you cruel world.

[JokicParty]

fuck you faggots, back to the cellar :lol

This was like San Jose State hosting UTEP in college football. One terrible team beating another :lol

[Chinook]

Makes the Portland win annoying. Again, I'm all for being an eighth-seed. But I see no logic in getting the eight-overall pick rather than the third-overall.

[cjw]

Welp at least with every loss we’re closer to a higher pick

I’m at this same conclusion now too. I’ll tune in if I have nothing better to do. But broken roster construction and just want more young guys who have upside.

Had they known DDR was the trade for Kawhi, no way do they sign Belineli who is now glued to the bench. What a waste of the MLE.

[DAF86]

Imagine needing fluke 3 pt shooting to beat this Spurs team with tank commander Pop in charge. :lol

[bic50]

mills = PATHETIC
Mills=leader

[Keepin' it real]

Spurs NEVER quit!

[ThaBigFundamental21]

fuck you faggots, back to the cellar :lol

Well I guess after being in the cellar for 5 years, you have earned the right to talk shit.

[Spurs da champs]

Rudy deserves to go to a contender tbh.

[DPG21920]

Pop costing SA a win pretty much. Competitive game. Lebron doing his thing.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Imagine needing fluke 3 pt shooting to beat this Spurs team with tank commander Pop in charge. :lol
This Laker squad is second-round fodder at best. Meme Brothers or the Nuggets will make quick work of them

[Kyle_Kuzma]

Well I guess after being in the cellar for 5 years, you have earned the right to talk shit.
:hat see you nigs this saturday

[Chucho]

fuck you faggots, back to the cellar :lol

LOL, you spent the first 45 minutes of this game hiding in there and it was built specifically for the Lakers 5 year residency in there. You're used to it, so please excuse us while we learn to adjust after an unmatched 20 year run.

[Degoat]

We’re such fools gold, sure will player spoiler and beat a couple of good teams here and there but make no mistake we suck!

[pad300]

42 points and counting given up in the 4th, so they put up at least 120 ...

[Play Boban]

Mills=leader
...of scrubs

[boutons_deux]

LAL 39 3Gs attempted

[twincam]

I feel so bad for DeRozan. Such a waste with this group.

[HarlemHeat37]

Yessss LeBron, I have Spurs 8.5:lol

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Time for random thoughts

[boutons_deux]

two starters score 4 pts

[Chinook]

https://i.imgur.com/nw9cJ.gif

Is that going to be the entirety of your Game Thoughts thread tonight?

[John B]

LeBron seems too so eager to please LA fans, feeding the crowd.

[boutons_deux]

43 pts in the 4th

[DAF86]

Game ball goes to Pop for that Forbes, Cunningham lineup, at the end of the game, that kept the tank alive.

[Mikeanaro]

fuck you faggots, back to the cellar :lol
You know better the cellar, did they rape you there?

[Chucho]

Rudy deserves to go to a contender tbh.

You say that like there's more than one contender in this league.

[Emperor]

Derozan is our Dominque Wilkins. Which means our next savior will be arriving this summer.

[Barfunk]

https://i.imgur.com/nw9cJ.gif lol I remember watching this game back in 06. It was the opener.

[NASpurs]

Is that going to be the entirety of your Game Thoughts thread tonight?

It's been a while since we'll get Grades instead of Random Thoughts following a loss.

[timvp]

Is that going to be the entirety of your Game Thoughts thread tonight?

Not a bad thought, tbh.

[Barfunk]

Lol you can really tell Pierce does not like Lebron.

[Chinook]

Got grades after the Portland win.

[gospursgojas]

Pathetic

[KobeScored81]

LeBron is ridiculously good.

16th season, maybe starting to lose a step athletically, what does he do? Starts hitting 3s from Curry range rather routinely

[BatManu20]

1070560236732383232

[DPG21920]

Yessss LeBron, I have Spurs 8.5:lol

I had LMA Prop Over 19.5 points lol

[gospursgojas]

43 pts in the 4th


Also Pathetic. Especially considering our “stopper” was in there for most of the 4th. If he’s not stopping anyone why is he in there?

[Jay.From.NbTx]

Yea that line up at the end killed our momentum. That was on Pop.
And then the and ones Dante gave to Lebron and that turnover by patty sealed the deal.
Really thought we had this one. Damn it sucks to be a Spurs fan haha

[SpurPadre]

I never thought I'd see such an incompetent Spurs team in the Pop era, tbh.

[NASpurs]

Got grades after the Portland win.

"following a loss"

[Chinook]

"following a loss"

That was a loss ... in the Zion race

[DPG21920]

You sold on Zion as #1

[james evans]

Look who he did it against

[SuperCam]

remember what PATFO suckers were saying spur would have better record than lakers :lol ?

[Chinook]

You sold on Zion as #1

No. But I'd want to be able to turn him down.

[DPG21920]

No. But I'd want to be able to turn him down.

For sure

[DPG21920]

That’s how you lose well. Make it fun at least. Then put Mills/Forbes/Cunningham in during the guts of the game.

[tbdog]

It's not about controlling the game anymore. And we were all but the first quarter. It's about who makes the last run. They did by shooting and making four 3s.

[TheGreatYacht]

I never thought I'd see such an incompetent Spurs team in the Pop era, tbh.
There is no Pop era. He's a faggot that clearly rode Tim and Kawhi's coattails

[SpurPadre]

Forbes is curry 2.0

He's not even half the player Seth Curry is, tbh.

[SpurPadre]

There is no Pop era. He's a faggot that clearly rode The Big 3's coattails

FIFY

[spin8]

I'm glad I switched over to a Gonzaga game as soon as the Spurs lost and saw Rui Hachimura hit a game winner. Hope he's there on the draft board for the Spurs with their first round pick.

[timvp]

At least one Spurs fan was a winner tonight, tbh.

[DPG21920]

Spurs should not make any trades that give up any picks unless they are able to dump two players (with one being Mills).

[John B]

It’s a good game. Tbh LeBron had too many calls going his way and helped sway to Lakers

[DPG21920]

It’s a good game. Tbh LeBron had too many calls going his way and helped sway to Lakers

No. Cunningham starting and playing on Lebron while he went for 20 in the fourth quarter is what swayed the game.

[SpurPadre]

We can go on and on about the shitty defense and lack of help for DeRozan, LMA, and Gay but the terrible execution, especially in the 4th quarter rarely gets mentioned. I've always had issues with players going for a three late in the game when the team is down within 2 points, tied, or up within 2. I think a team should always look for high percentage shots. Pop teams have always prided themselves on passing up a good shot for a great shot. THIS Spurs team is the complete antithesis of that. The game is tied 104-104 after the Lakers hit a three and what does dumb ass "leader" Mills do? He jacks up a three and bricks. They have been doing this constantly this season. The shot selection is simply horrible. The worst shot selection I've seen as a Spurs fan.

[Arcadian]

We only have 3 decent players on the roster :lol

[John B]

Only LMA, Demar and Gay can take their man. The rests need ball movement to get easier shots, to allow them to contribute. Otherwise it’s too much load to put on the big 3. I saw a Manuesque pass in the corner 3 to Mills. That’s the first time I’ve seen this season tbh

[Budkin]

We only have 3 decent players on the roster :lol

This. It's amazing we've won as many games as we have with this roster.

[LakerHater]

[ThaBigFundamental21]

remember what PATFO suckers were saying spur would have better record than lakers :lol ?

I had/have a bet on it. Not looking real great atm.

[spin8]

I mean, let's be honest. Tonight the Spurs were gifted refs that hated Josh Hart and Brandon Ingram going out in the first quarter with an ankle sprain. That probably saved the Spurs from being blown out again. :lol

[BatManu20]

The Spurs are the inferior team, missing their starting PG and backup PF/C, and played a game last night... the Lakers should’ve won the game handily regardless.

[SpurPadre]

Forbes 1-7 0-5 on 3 pointers and 21 mins.

Cunningham 1-2 on 34 minutes.

What the fuck.

It's Forbes and Cunningham doing Forbes and Cunningham things. What else do you expect from those two? And those numbers don't show how awful they were defensively.

[Chris]

The worst shot selection I've seen as a Spurs fan.

Truth. It's like Pop gave the entire team the green light.

[venitian navigator]

The only reason for Forbes to play is his outside shot...when he has these kind of percentages he's tragic for the team...the bad point is that most of his shots tonight were from good to very good (open/wide open) shooting oppotunities...

[r0drig0lac]

We only have 3 decent players on the roster :lol

this


Forbes 1-7 0-5 on 3 pointers and 21 mins.

Cunningham 1-2 on 34 minutes.

What the fuck.
yes sr players

[SouthTexasRancher]

What the hell is this love affair between Pop and Forbes. The guy has two points and Pop is rubbing his back and squeezing Forbes tight. Some kind of man love or something. Pop is just flat out getting out coached by every coach we go up against. He is looking lost this season.

[lefty]

Spurs own LeBum and the Lakers this season.
Evidently

He's trying to coach up his charity case. He knows deep down that this kid and his baby mama drama isn't very good, but Pop's ego allows him to think that maybe he can coach him up a bit to justify giving him a deal.

A Pop-coached team is not complete without one.

That was the same foul for which Aldridge got a flagrant foul: not giving the shooter enough landing space.

[Bynumite]

Not only did Gay have space to land but he also had no reaction because there was no foul :lol

Ingram twisted his ankle, just like Kiwi.

Dude, you can clearly see Gay's tiptoes stepping over Hart's shoes. That's a foul under the new rules. We can then agree or disagree on how fair that is, but it is what it is. Folks don't need to be twisting their ankles everytime to call that a foul.

I believe you hit the nail on the head. I do remember seeing or hearing Pop say Forbes should be paid a lot more. Strange.
