Game Thread: Spurs vs Nets — Thurs. (1/31) - 7:30/C (3:30am Riga Time)

[BatManu20]

I’ve said it all season.. Rudy has the worst basketball IQ..

Lol no he doesn’t. He’s just having a really shitty game

[DAF86]

This one's done. Blame for the loss should fall squarely on Pop's shoulders, just like the poor performance against Phoenix that he wanted to blame the players for.

In route to a blowout and Pop started getting all cute and shit. :lol

[timtonymanu]

It's not rocket science to figure out how to stop the Spurs. They would be lucky to win 1 game in the playoffs, but anything more would be surprising. Doesn't take a lot to let DePression kick in and teams will gladly let scrub Forbes beat them and we know D-White will be neutered by DDR/LMA/Gay taking all his touches. That Spurs defense will also be ugly as always.

[Larry O]

Meltdown INCOMING!!!

[CGD]

They look bad tonight. It’s also alarming that the team has become so Derick White dependent. Dude is good, but that’s a lot to put on a 2nd year player

[KDKSpurs24]

Lol no he doesn’t. He’s just having a really shitty game
No dude. This is not just tonight.. just watch him. Watch how late he makes his passes.

[Leetonidas]

Forbes is trash

[Robz4000]

Refs back at it to seal this game.

[sasaint]

Huh?! Marco straight up and down and makes the 3.

[DAF86]

Why is Forbes still on the game? Will he play the entire 2nd half?

[BatManu20]

Bryn has been so awful tonight... rough game for him

[TheGreatYacht]

Bryn fucking Forbes just in time to stop our comeback :lmao

[RC_Drunkford]

let's just hope Forbes fouls again soon so he's fouled out

[RD2191]

Derrick White baby

[DAF86]

Can we get some Latvian Laser to finish the game off? Also, leave Belli in. I have a feeling he will go off.

[TheGreatYacht]

Aldridge
Bertans
Beli
White
Mills

Close with that lineup.

[Spurs da champs]

HOW BAD

do you

HAVE TO BE

[sasaint]

Yep to compensate for DWhite's not playing at all in the 3rd.

double or triple team Aldridge, let Forbes and DePression shoot as much as they want. Attack Forbes, Mills, Belinelli and Gasol on offense and there you go

[emanueldavidginobili]

Derrick has to realize not many people can guard him. Dude has to keep being aggressive

[$pursDynasty]

Why is LMA not even trying to get a shot? Did he not want to be an All star?

[KDKSpurs24]

White is hella open for 3 at the top of that zone.. does Brooklyn do this every night? I know they wouldn’t dare do this to someone like Curry or Lillard. Must just be a gameplan for us..

[Robz4000]

Refs don't quit.

[RD2191]

WTF! Come on man!

[Leetonidas]

What a joke...

[BatManu20]

Christ these idiots can’t stop fouling on jump shots smh

[skin27]

Why is LMA not even trying to get a shot? Did he not want to be an All star?

i notice this too..there is always a game that aldridge doesn’t want to take over..

[Ron Swanson]

DDR in for Marco.

[timtonymanu]

White showing off his USA vs World snub

[emanueldavidginobili]

This kid White is good man

[RC_Drunkford]

Aldridge and White just have great chemistry

[Capt Bringdown]

White is my fave Spur at the moment. He seems to the most competitive player on the team.

[RD2191]

Wtf was that LMA?

[Ron Swanson]

LMA gets mugged with no call.

[Robz4000]

:lmao refs call that shit?!

[BatManu20]

STOP FOULING FFS

[slick'81]

Lets gooooooo fckers! Were taking this shit!

[RD2191]

This team can't get a stop to save their lives. We have to hope the other team misses, smh.

[Ron Swanson]

Davis is off tonight.

[RD2191]

:lmao spurms

[emanueldavidginobili]

Man I wish DJ was healthy. So we could have white and Dj out there so Mills and Forbes don’t get exposed all the time

[BatManu20]

SO many shots have rimmed out for this qtr

[emanueldavidginobili]

Love to see Whites emotion tonight

[KDKSpurs24]

Lucky that wasn’t an offensive foul

[skin27]

Demar make a shot?

[DAF86]

Don't let that bearded cracker that looks like a drunk uncle take a 3.

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Glad DDR came through on that one, but not the right call by Pop.... Put the game in White's hands

[Ron Swanson]

:lma

[spurs10]

What a pass!!

[BatManu20]

Derrick White... what a stud

[Leetonidas]

Fucking Derrick White man. One of the bright spots this year

[RD2191]

Good shit by White and LMA

[slick'81]

Who said were losing this game?

[skin27]

LA!!!!

[RD2191]

oh come on

[spurs10]

:lma :lma

[sasaint]

Love to see Whites emotion tonight

Yes. And his assertiveness.

[BatManu20]

Lol of course

[DAF86]

Please don't turn it fucking over. :lol




And make your freebies.

[RD2191]

Who's gonna brick these? :lol

[spurs10]

It's a thriller...again!

[timtonymanu]

Are we gonna turn over the ball on the inbound again?

[skin27]

Fuck that nets scrubs making clutch 3’s

[twincam]

Customary turnover inbounds coming up

[emanueldavidginobili]

Fuck DDR should have been a PNR with White and LA there

[Robz4000]

This team can't rebound to save it's life.

[TheGreatYacht]

Poop has a clipboard for fucks sake....

[RC_Drunkford]

please Pop, not one of those Belinelli loses the ball plays with a player in the backcourt that doesn't get the ball

[slick'81]

Game set match

[spurs1990]

I’ll take it but New Jersey got hosed on several ticky tack fouls down the stretch plus the missed and-one for Carroll. Again not complaining but serious home cooking.

[RD2191]

Shit better not go into overtime

[Robz4000]

OT comin'.

[DAF86]

Please foul. They have no more TO's. Do the smart thing for once Pop. Please

[Ron Swanson]

That blonde has a nice rack.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

LMA turning clutch all of a sudden at the FT line :wow

[RC_Drunkford]

play Forbes so he can foul a 3-point shooter

[Robz4000]

Great win, thank God.

[RD2191]

Great no call imo

[Ron Swanson]

Fuck it. I'll take it.

[Rosewood]

Why was Patty out there?

[Ron Swanson]

Great no call imo

Yeah

[skin27]

Victory!!!!

[sasaint]

LMA turning clutch all of a sudden at the FT line :wow

Was gonna post the same thing! :tu

[Leetonidas]

Frustrating at times but good win. As well as know Brooklyn has been on a tear so either way its a nice win.

[Spurs da champs]

Poop like end of game play right there.

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

I’ll take it but New Jersey got hosed on several ticky tack fouls down the stretch plus the missed and-one for Carroll. Again not complaining but serious home cooking.

Nets were getting friendly whistle 3rd quarter and early 4th, was bound to swing back Spurs way - but yeah at least two of those and 1s for the Spurs I could not see a foul

[emanueldavidginobili]

Man that loss would have hurt. We got good karma from the bullshit foul on Gasol early on the season. That was definitely a foul right there

[Kobe'sAchilles]

Keep the streak alive :flag:

[Degoat]

Damn really fortunate we won that game lol nets are legit good

[BatManu20]

No idea how we won that game but I’ll gladly eat crow. Good shit Spurs


Game ball goes to Derrick White. Helluva game by that young man.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Good win though. Nets were 20-6 in their last 26 best record in that span

[BillMc]

Victory.

Actually just bat one of the hottest teams in the league.

[spurs10]

Victory!! They tried harder to draw a foul than make the shot.

[slick'81]

Victory!!!!


Told ya

[**BUSTA**]

Looks like Spurs "robbed" another one

[emanueldavidginobili]

They were also missing their second best player too. With DDR having a week off he still looked terrible

[Barfunk]

Win against a playoff team. I like it. :clap

[NameLess Scrub]

:pop: Nets got robbed.

[spurs10]

Victory.

Actually just bat one of the hottest teams in the league. Good win!!

[GreekSpursfan]

The emergence of the new Spurs star D. White. We knew he was good but he's becoming a star now.

[spurs1990]

Nets were getting friendly whistle 3rd quarter and early 4th, was bound to swing back Spurs way - but yeah at least two of those and 1s for the Spurs I could not see a foul

Thanks. Didn't see much other than late 4th so it's fair enough.

Always enjoying beating the Old Jersey Nets. Owning them since June 2003.

[cd021]

Aldridge skeakly had a good game with 20 and 13 non only 13 attempts but really played poorly until the final 6 minutes.

Derozan managed to redeem himself late in the game

White was fantastic, kid is stud.

[boutons_deux]

shoot 40% and win, another stolen W

[timtonymanu]

:pop: Nets got robbed.

Yeah cause Cunningham, Pon and Gasol are all playable in 2019

[timtonymanu]

:lmao

Post a pic of yourself you ingrown hair follicle of a human being. I loathe you. You are scum.

[cd021]

shoot 40% and win, another stolen W

13 offensive rebounds, only 9 turnovers, 12 made 3's and 25-29 from the line while the other team missed 10 FTs. I don't think the Spurs stole this game at all.

[cd021]

Yeah cause Cunningham, Pon and Gasol are all playable in 2019

Its like he told their parents that everyone will get playing time, just weird. Post all-star break that shit needs to stop.

[Fusternino]

Do people really think there was a foul on the final play? Didn't look close to me . . .

[emanueldavidginobili]

They were also missing their second best player too. With DDR having a week off he still looked terrible

[Barfunk]

Do you get laid at all in real life? Just curious.

[sasaint]

Pop's mood in the post-game was not what I expected. Seemed like he was itching to get back to the locker room to chew some ass.

[BackHome]

Oh yeah he going to light up Forbes for sure.

[Barfunk]

Welcome to the Block Party You and offset formation (probably the same guy, let us be honest I mean the "Owners" do it why not bolded Dopes)
and dumber than a Box of Rock offset formation FINALLY blocked me after I made he aware
:lmao

Edge Lord Forum Warriors

is it 2005?

k

[John B]

Spurs in 5th over Rockets, and Rockets play at Denver tomorrow. It’s still mid-season but I need Spurs really need to make the move and be at top 3

Lulz. Someone messed around and got a triple pinking.

What a pathetic troll of an existence you had .
man.

Btw, I dont block. I belittle.

[Mr. Body]

Brooklyn is for real. They're not a good team to play right now, and they're missing two of their best players in LaVert and Dinwhiddie. I get to watch them all the time. Marks is killing it.

DLo is pretty close to stardom. He's right on the verge. He's an All-Star over fucking Lowry, at least.

[John B]

Tbh I thought that pass to LMA will get stolen again. Still it’s not like if it were the big 3, you know Timmy will pass to Manu without turning it over and Manu would sink them without a doubt

[spurs10]

When are we getting the GRADES? I don't know what to THINK without GRADES
:clap:clap:clap:clap:clap:clap :lol "Waits at the window......" :hungry:

[Fireball]

ugly game but we won against a hot team ... without White Spurs would have been roasted

[SpurPadre]

Forbes took more shots than our only All-Star. It's fucking disgusting and inexcusable. I'm so done with this fucker...

[emanueldavidginobili]

Oh wow yeah I forgot they have LaVert too, they’re definitely on the come up. That Latvian kid looks like he’s going to be good he’s only 20 years old and Allen is going to be a legit big man in this league for a while. Never the less good win against the hottest team over the last 26 games. My only gripe with White is foul trouble it’s been happening a lot lately. If he can stay out of foul trouble and average 30+ minutes he’s going to put up some good numbers. He already is, I loved his emotion tonight.

[r0drig0lac]

Joe Harris is the taller Bryn Forbes who is good at basketball

[Jsmythe]

According to the official Last Two Minute Report for the game, LMA fouled Napier on the final play:

https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2019/01/L2M-BKN-SAS-01-31-2019-002.pdf


Comment: Aldridge (SAS) makes contact to the body of Napier (BKN) during his shooting motion that affects his jump shot attempt.

To me, it didn't really look like a foul, but I guess we were lucky not to have that be a no-call.

On the other hand, for the Suns game, we had one incorrect call in our favor and two incorrect calls go against us, including Belinelli getting fouled on the final inbounds play:

https://ak-static.cms.nba.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/4/2019/01/L2M-PHX-SAS-01-29-2019-1.pdf



Comment: Aldridge (SAS) makes contact with Oubre Jr.'s (PHX) head during rebounding that affects his ability to retrieve the ball.
Comment: White (SAS) beats Booker (PHX) to the spot and absorbs the contact in the chest as Booker drives through his body and extends his arm to dislodge White.
Comment: RLS shows Booker (PHX) makes contact to Belinelli's (SAS) arm, affecting his ability to maintain control of the ball.

[cutewizard]

Whote rules

[RC_Drunkford]

man fuck the NBA I'm more of a fan of physical basketball and don't think it's a foul if a player's jersey touches you. No call was the right call
