Game Thread: Spurs @ Raptors - Fri. (2/22) 6:00 PM CT (2:00am Riga Time)

[r0drig0lac]

what a pass by gay

[ace3g]

Poeltl block/jam

[BackHome]

Poodle is sending Paul and Poop a strong message that he should be getting all of Gasol minutes.

[Uriel]

Poodle is sending Paul and Poop a strong message that he should be getting all of Gasol minutes.
If Pop has his rotation set, then he will.

[Shakril]

Poodle is sending Paul and Poop a strong message that he should be getting all of Gasol minutes.

I guarantee you that next game Poeltl wont play more than 6 minutes cause Gasol has to show his value too.

[Robz4000]

:lol Spurs are getting Linsanity'd

[GreekSpursfan]

I have zero problems with Pop in this game so far. If LMA was not so fucking terrible thus far we would be winning by double digits

[GusT15]

I guarantee you that next game Poeltl wont play more than 6 minutes cause Gasol has to show his value too.

Gasol looks depressed on the bench.

Dunno if it's cause he's not playing or cause he finally realized he can't play anymore.

[ace3g]

White hot

[boutons_deux]

LMA absent

[r0drig0lac]

foul....

[timtonymanu]

Alright, Raps should bounce back now.

[skin27]

Spurs will still lose this game..lol

[r0drig0lac]

that escalated quickly

[timtonymanu]

Woohoo!

[twincam]

41-41 as predicted.

[Uriel]

It was fun while it lasted.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Of course OG becomes a great shooter verse the Spurs. Comical

[Amuseddaysleeper]

That’s game, not enough firepower for the spurs to close this out

[boutons_deux]

4th qtr collapse

[GreekSpursfan]

they are making their wide open threes, we dont.

[Joseph Kony]

LA is fucking invisible out there man

[Alfo21]

Of course OG becomes a great shooter verse the Spurs. Comical
Nobody becomes better shooters against us this season. They just shoot more open threes against us than they shoot in the gym.

[SpurPadre]

That's game. Valiant effort but DeRozan couldn't hold his promise of dropping 50. He won't even total 50 in both games played against Toronto.

[GusT15]

Jeremy fucking Lin like always and random scrub of the night OG Anunobody.

And Pop again with DDR and Forbes late in the fourth.

[boutons_deux]

spurs go cold in 4th

[timtonymanu]

Aldridge sucks this game but I won't hate. Just goes to show a team is limited with him as the #1 option. DeFrozen will go back to cancer mode after this game too. Hopefully the Raps don't choke this game.

[Beartrucci]

Of course Linsanity happens against us :lol And OG finally has a good game...swear these bball Gods have it in for us after the TD era

[r0drig0lac]

foul, foul, foul...

[GreekSpursfan]

LMA is a fucking disaster on both ends, never in the right spot defensively.

[SpurPadre]

We can't stop Ibaka now.

[Robz4000]

Get Poeltl back in there

[TimDunkem]

LMA is a fucking disaster on both ends, never in the right spot defensively.

And some of the dumb fucks on this website believe he should be untouchable.

[timtonymanu]

We can't stop Ibaka now.

Bro do you see the "new Steph Curry" with his 1-6 3 point shooting tonight? I'm sure he's trying hard though and he'll get a passing grade again for that.

[boutons_deux]

HERO BALL THOWS IT AWAY

[timtonymanu]

Derozan on Kawhi is no contest

[SpurPadre]

Bro do you see the "new Steph Curry" with his 1-6 3 point shooting tonight? I'm sure he's trying hard though and he'll get a passing grade again for that.

Who needs Steph, tbh.

[SpurPadre]

KaLoad Management fucking DeMar in the ass, tbh.

[r0drig0lac]

Marco!!!!

[GreekSpursfan]

Belliiiiiiiiiiiiiiii

[bklynspursfan]

Great play for Marco there. Dude is cold blooded

[BlackAndWhite]

Pastanelli

[SpurPadre]

Cue Marco's big balls...

[skin27]

Spurs still has a chance for upset

[GreekSpursfan]

Of course

[Brazil]

:lmao

[ace3g]

jeez...

[bklynspursfan]

Wow... Dam DeMar. Gotta make up for it man

[r0drig0lac]

kaw....

[timtonymanu]

Lol was just waiting for the fuck up and there it was HAHAHAHA go Raps

[Robz4000]

:lmao fuck you DeRozan

[bbarry]

:lmao

[timtonymanu]

This team is so fucking stupid, it's funny to watch

[Stump]

Choke

[Spurs 4 The Win]

That was the choke of the century

[TimDunkem]

Playoff DeRozan makes his return to Toronto!

[BlackAndWhite]

decancer

[SpurPadre]

Why can't we force teams to foul us in those situations? Three times that fucking shit has happened.

[SPURt]

What the was that?

[james evans]

FUCK YOU DEROZAN!!! FUCK YOU BITCH!!!

[siraulo23]

derozan is a fucking bum

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Cant wait for Demar to blow the last shot now

[Spurs fever]

Damn....

[Uriel]

Wow.

[Alfo21]

YES GUYS JUST BELIEVE DEMAR IS BACK BECAUSE HE NEEDED REST LMAOOOO. HE IS SOO MENTALLY WEAK!!!

[emanueldavidginobili]

That foul on Patty was just as bad

[Leetonidas]

Why the fuck didn't pops retarded ass call a timeout??

[james evans]

Goddamnit. Now I got to hear this shit from people in the gym tomorrow

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

DePression costing the team another game in crunch time

[TimDunkem]

Who needs Steph, tbh.

Who needs Steph if you shoot well in practice?

[spursparker9]

lol lol lol

[gambit1990]

lmao.

[Uriel]

Can't believe Pop didn't call a timeout.

[Spurs da champs]

Playoff DeRozan showing up.

[timtonymanu]

Leave it to this fucking team to beat themselves like always

[TheGoatishere]

:lmao

[Robz4000]

Fuck DeCancer

[bklynspursfan]

Ugh

[Quiet Strength]

Derozan is a loser.

[boutons_deux]

DDR LOST THE GAME

[BatManu20]

Solid choke boys.

[twincam]

If course. Classic ending loss when the game literally in your hands.

[D-Wade]

DeMar had his man beat but instead picked up his dribble and then passed lol

[GusT15]

Call a fucking timeout for the love of god.

You're up 1 and have the full 24 to end the game.

Don't you think they will trap the ball handler?????

This is sad

[skin27]

Bertans smh

[Spurs 4 The Win]

should have 1.6 seconds

[timtonymanu]

Who cares about reviewing it? Just give the Spurs the ball again and they will miss effortlessly.

[th3answ3r]

give the ball to a real point guard to bring the ball up

[SpurPadre]

Every other team would have forced a foul in that situation.

[widowmaker]

Demar derozan is the Cain Velazquez of the nba

[Larry O]

Hmmm... see why the Raps were eager to get rid of DD10, LOL!

[Spurs fever]

That's game.

[ceperez]

Why the hell is the coaching so bad????

[spurs10]

Game

[widowmaker]

Investigate that bitch for throwing the game.

[mexicanjunior]

DeRozan is such garbage..effing tank already...

[spursparker9]

Fuck pop

[SpurPadre]

Ok, turning this off now. DeRozan isn't a prime time player.

[timtonymanu]

I really hate Derozan. God just unloading him for nothing would be an upgrade at this point.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

That call is awful

[Holden_Caulfield]

Lol DeRozan always a choking faggot

[twincam]

Classic fails continue...

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Do I not understand the rules? There is no way that shouldnt have been our ball.

[Uriel]

Jesus. We had this fucking win.

[bklynspursfan]

Had a shot and blew it. Thought they played well, Aldridge not so much.

Dam

[SpurPadre]

I refuse to see Kawhi celebrate a win.

[Robz4000]

Get DeCancer off this fucking team.

[phxspurfan]

Weird call but Spurs had plenty of chances to win this one

[Dverde]

This is more telling of the Raptors than the Spurs. Spurs had no business Winning. That turnover was epic. He covered his face like a soccer player.

[r0drig0lac]

"better offensive player than Kawhi"

[Arcadian]

Can't believe Pop didn't call a timeout.

Exactly. That was the real error. With 24.9 seconds left, they would've had to foul, putting DeRozan on the line with a chance to put away his old team.

Also, Bertans should've passed back to DeRozan on the next play.

[phxspurfan]

Had a shot and blew it. Thought they played well, Aldridge not so much.

Dam

True, LMA was basically invisible today

[skin27]

:lmaoT

[boutons_deux]

FUCK DDR

FUCKING LOSER

[RD2191]

Defrozen :lmao

[Dancelot]

What a choke, my god

[Ragamuffin]

fak you derozan we. missed game. from you again

[widowmaker]

Well thats it hes gonna go in a deep depression and hang him self tonight

[daslicer]

2 mental errors by Demar. He should have called a timeout immediately. He also should have taken the shot he had available against Green instead of passing it to Bertans.

[timtonymanu]

This is more telling of the Raptors than the Spurs. Spurs had no business Winning. That turnover was epic. He covered his face like a soccer player.

Raptors are still getting the win. It's more telling of the Spurs that they have things go right for them all game and still lose.

[Uriel]

Remember when Marco missed that technical free throw? Yeah, we could really use that point right now.

[tbdog]

We deserved this win. It's been a few times we have had our hearts cut out. Also, another game where Forbes does not belong.

[GreekSpursfan]

As i said all along trade LMA and peak depression and tank, thats the only plan.

[bklynspursfan]

Wasn't that an obvious back court?????

[Spurs 4 The Win]

REVIEW THAT???? THAT IS A BACKCOURT VIOLATION!!!!

[robert1886]

True, LMA was basically invisible today
They didn’t feed him the ball

[james evans]

HE WAS BACKCOURT!!

[Leetonidas]

Wtf?????

[phxspurfan]

pretty clear back court IMO

[timtonymanu]

Thank God the Raptors won. Last thing we need is for this team to have false hope in themselves and PATFO does nothing to improve the team in the offseason like usual.

[bklynspursfan]

How does that not warrant a review?

[Robz4000]

Well thats it hes gonna go in a deep depression and hang him self tonight

One can only hope

[phxspurfan]

home cookin be stronk today

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Incompetent refs.

[Uriel]

Nephew rips the ball from DeRozan and dunks for the win. Sweet revenge.

[Robz4000]

Thank God the Raptors won. Last thing we need is for this team to have false hope in themselves and PATFO does nothing to improve the team in the offseason like usual.

They won't regardless.

[Spurs da champs]

Lmao Mark Davis trying to one up Scott Foster.

[TDomination]

Lol how is that not backcourt

[Spurs9]

Crofl obvious backcourt. Tim Donaghy style.

[mexicanjunior]

This roster and coach deserve every bit of this loss. PATFO bought the groceries for this shit sandwich, I hope they savor every bite...

[r0drig0lac]

We deserved this win. It's been a few times we have had our hearts cut out. Also, another game where Forbes does not belong.

games against the elite show that Forbes should not be on court for many minutes if his team has any real pretensions

[ECOV]

Raptors are trash ..win by a little against this spurs team lol fucking trash

[Dverde]

Thank God the Raptors won. Last thing we need is for this team to have false hope in themselves and PATFO does nothing to improve the team in the offseason like usual.
:bobo

[John B]

Spurs got robbed :lol

[timtonymanu]

They won't regardless.

True. I'm sure Norris Cole will be their key free agent signing this summer.

[ECOV]

Great game for the spurs

[daslicer]

Thank God the Raptors won. Last thing we need is for this team to have false hope in themselves and PATFO does nothing to improve the team in the offseason like usual.

Stupid post since win or lose this game will have no effect on the FO. This loss sucks big time.

[spurs10]

Another giveaway game. Should have won this one.

[widowmaker]

Please get rid of this C grade player.

[timtonymanu]

On pace for another easy 1st round exit against the Dubs. Man I would rather just miss the playoffs forreal

[Trill Clinton]

Derozan was thinking about the after party when he was bringing the ball up the court.

GG tho

[Uriel]

Aside from the fact that we lost, big-picture wise, this was a great game for the Spurs. Pop has shown us what his playoff rotation looks like, and we've seen it can win in the home court of the team that will likely make the Finals in the East.

[timtonymanu]

Stupid post since win or lose this game will have no effect on the FO. This loss sucks big time.

We're losing in the 1st round regardless so why delay the inevitable.

[SpurPadre]

In that game against OKC, Marco couldn't force a foul with the clock in our favor and it led to a turnover and a bucket on the other end. A week later, the same fucking thing happened. And now this. That's lack of execution and incompetence on the players but it's also bad coaching. The Suns can execute better in that situation.

[Budkin]

None of this means anything anyway. Not like we're going anywhere.

[bklynspursfan]

On pace for another easy 1st round exit against the Dubs. Man I would rather just miss the playoffs forreal

Why? Cause they don't find gems late in the draft? Lol

[GAustex]

That was pathetic by DDR
Sickening
Really bad basketball
He is a dumbass

[dbestpro]

Looks like another scripted game. Spurs do just enough for DDR to save face, but lose as mighty Toronto folds serve with their powerful lineup, while the Spurs hopeful see the silver lining in how close they came...........................Yawn...........A loss is a loss.

[Trill Clinton]

Can't place the blame on derozan. Outside of that turnover he actually played well...our All Star went missing, though.

[GreekSpursfan]

Toronto is not making any finals any time soon. Kawhi looks like a shell of himself. I still have the Celtics over everyone else because they have the most talent and refs to go with it. Even Bucks match very well with the Raptors and they have people to protect the rim and waay better defenders than we have.

[daslicer]

We're losing in the 1st round regardless so why delay the inevitable.

Like I said before this loss is not going to change anything from a long term perspective. From a pride point of view this loss sucks since it's against #2.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Derrick White or Rudy Gay should be the only ones with the ball at the end of games. I can't stand watching derozen drive and and get stuffed and locked down.

[TimDunkem]

Embarassed by Kawhi too. You DD fans/Spurs fans obsessed with Kawhi must be putting guns in your mouths.

[bklynspursfan]

Can't place the blame on derozan. Outside of that turnover he actually played well...our All Star went missing, though.

Yup. But the experts on here don't think often

[ceperez]

That's lack of execution and incompetence on the players but it's also bad coaching. The Suns can execute better in that situation.

The end game execution sucks big time.

Nobody in this team... except for White.... knows how to handle the ball under pressure.

[Degoat]

The DeMar turnover cost us the game but damn why pop didn’t call a time out whenever we got the rebound is beyond me

[SpurPadre]

None of this means anything anyway. Not like we're going anywhere.

But it puts a smile on that faggot traitor's face.

[Russ]

Raptors are still getting the win. It's more telling of the Spurs that they have things go right for them all game and still lose.

I would agree if the Spurs hit a high % of threes and Toronto did not.

But the Spurs hit only 32.4% of threes (12-37; well below their average) while Toronto hit 46.7% (14-30; well above their average).

I don't think we can say the Spurs had "things go right for them all game and still lose."

[superbigtime]

derozan sucked. Was winnable. Good effort.

[timtonymanu]

Yup. But the experts on here don't think often

Because we already know what Derozan is like when it actually matters. But let’s keep putting stock into regular season games instead

[bklynspursfan]

This L is on Aldridge.

[Spurs fever]

What happened to Aldridge tonight?

[TheGoatishere]

Embarassed by Kawhi too. You DD fans/Spurs fans obsessed with Kawhi must be putting guns in your mouths.

He was awful for most of the game.

[TheGoatishere]

What happened to Aldridge tonight?

Hes sick

[TimDunkem]

He was awful for most of the game.

Still embarrassed DD and won the game.

[timtonymanu]

Aldridge sucked but truthfully Spurs don’t have a high ceiling with LMA/Demar as their top 2 anyway.

[GusT15]

In that game against OKC, Marco couldn't force a foul with the clock in our favor and it led to a turnover and a bucket on the other end. A week later, the same fucking thing happened. And now this. That's lack of execution and incompetence on the players but it's also bad coaching. The Suns can execute better in that situation.

This x1000.

We are supposed to be the most well coached team in the planet,it's coaching 101 to NOT leave the main ball handler alone with nobody around him to make the easy pass when a double team-trap is coming!!!!

They are down 1 and we have the full 24 to end the game! They will trap and try to steal for 5 secs and then they will foul!

What the fuck is going on and we let the ball handler alone to get trapped mauled and lose the ball for the THIRD time this year????

This is unacceptable,i have no idea how the best coaching team in the league is doing these things.

[SpurPadre]

Can't place the blame on derozan. Outside of that turnover he actually played well...our All Star went missing, though.

DeRozan: "I'm gonna drop 50 on them when I play them"

In 2 games total vs. Toronto: 44 points.

DeMar is a fucking choker. It's on him. Go ahead, do another 360 degree layup, that won't change that he's not a Championship player.

[BillMc]

This L is on Aldridge.

They were surrounding him, daring the rest of the team to show up.

[ECOV]

On pace for another easy 1st round exit against the Dubs. Man I would rather just miss the playoffs forreal

Gross lol

[bklynspursfan]

Because we already know what Derozan is like when it actually matters. But let’s keep putting stock into regular season games instead

So why watch if u feel like that lol

[GAustex]

Spurs fought and clawed and had a chance to go up three with little time and gawd dummit DDR dumbass happened

[bklynspursfan]

They were surrounding him, daring the rest of the team to show up.

No doubt, but he had opportunities to establish himself. He just didn't seem sharp. Maybe he took extended rest since he didn't have much w/all star weekend.

[ceperez]

This x1000.

This is unacceptable,i have no idea how the best coaching team in the league is doing these things.

Plain stupid... not just DeRozan, but entire team.

[timtonymanu]

So why watch if u feel like that lol

I watch because I enjoy the young guys like White, Bertans and Poeltl. But unfortunately the Spurs have Demar. I’m just not delusional like some of you who think Demar is suddenly gonna break his choking habits just because he’s here.

[TDomination]

If white was able to play down the stretch spurs win. I don't doubt that.

[BackHome]

This x1000.

+ A MILLION!!!!

[heyheymymy]

I hope adam silver dies in an AIDS riddled plane crash

[boutons_deux]

Can't place the blame on derozan. Outside of that turnover he actually played well...our All Star went missing, though.

nope, his last shot, a long horrible fade away against two defenders, after dribbling around, and general ball hogging in crunch time. Getting stripped when up 1, when a basket could have won it.

when he starts dribbling, head down, he's 1 one on 5.

[SpurPadre]

Yup. But the experts on here don't think often

You cannot seriously absolve DeRozan for that fuckup, especially when he defers to Bertans on the possession right after. He also commited a costly turnover down the stretch. No excuse for his chokejob for Mr. "I'm gonna drop 50 on Toronto" DeRozan.

[bklynspursfan]

I watch because I enjoy the young guys like White, Bertans and Poeltl. But unfortunately the Spurs have Demar. I’m just not delusional like some of you who think Demar is suddenly gonna break his choking habits just because he’s here.

I mean I don't doubt he can break those habits. But whatever, he came out and won us games early. We are worse without him this yr

[TDomination]

We did not play that well. Raptors did not play that well. We beat them down in SA and probably should've won this one.

We are a different team with White, there is no denying that. If this game had happened before his return, would be easily been a 20 to 30 pt loss

[GusT15]

Plain stupid... not just DeRozan, but entire team.

Man,i cannot accept stupidity in these instances.

They are professional athletes,basketball is their life and livelihood.

When you learn the fundamentals of the game you do drills as a toddler on how to pass out of incoming double teams.You do drills on what happens in the clutch when full court press is about to be applied from the other team.

This is a badly trained/coached team.Was Popovich afraid to call TO cause he was afraid of how to inbound the ball??? Cause that's the only reason i can think of and that is on the coaching staff AS WELL!

[RD2191]

They were surrounding him, daring the rest of the team to show up.

Recipe for disaster in the playoffs

[SpurPadre]

That win at San Antonio against Load Management doesn't feel as good anymore. Just gave this one away. I would've rather have lost by 40, tbh.

[GreekSpursfan]

They were surrounding him, daring the rest of the team to show up.

I dont care what he did offensively even though he's getting so slow that is making pretty easy to suffocate him and make him a passer. Defensively is my biggest issue with him because he was non existent most of the game and decided to show up only at end.

[TDomination]

Nephew rips the ball from DeRozan and dunks for the win. Sweet revenge.

Yeah sweet revenge. Kawhi should be so upset about demar wanting out of Toronto so bad that it forced the raptors to trade demar sending him to the spurs who were looking to get rid of kawhi. I'm glad Kawhi got his revenge. DeMar ruined both their situations.

[timtonymanu]

That win at San Antonio against Load Management doesn't feel as good anymore. Just gave this one away. I would've rather have lost by 40, tbh.

Tbh it was a commendable effort. Raptors are just a much better team so it was matter of time before they took the game. We basically saw what we already know though: Derozan is a choker, Pop mails it in, Spurs can't make a shot on last-second plays

[bklynspursfan]

You cannot seriously absolve DeRozan for that fuckup, especially when he defers to Bertans on the possession right after. He also commited a costly turnover down the stretch. No excuse for his chokejob for Mr. "I'm gonna drop 50 on Toronto" DeRozan.

This game wasn't on him. Who knows what happens, we miss a FT they hit a 3, etc... Too many mistakes before that

[timtonymanu]

There went Demars only productive game for a while. Get ready again for those 5-21 shooting nights with 6 turnovers with no defense.

[GreekSpursfan]

And something else, if this team as presently constracted was being coached by someone else we would be talking about the lottery right now. The only problem i have with Pop is some of the contracts he gave to specific players namely Gasol and Patty even though Patty at least tries. No one knows exactly what the offers were for nephew and his group so we shouldn't place any blame there without knowing the whole story. We have a team with zero all stars and and an inexperienced backcourt and injury prone players, we desperately need to tank next season unless you can get KD for example which is a pipe dream.

[FkLA]

DeRozan was surprisingly composed and played great up until the end. He had a fucking step on LDN for an easy lay-up/dunk on the last possession and he just decided to turn into a pussy instead. He tried playing hero so many times in crunch time during his slump but when he's actually been on he defers smh.

[FkLA]

Tbh it was a commendable effort. Raptors are just a much better team so it was matter of time before they took the game. We basically saw what we already know though: Derozan is a choker, Pop mails it in, Spurs can't make a shot on last-second plays

The Raptors are fucking overrated. Don't they have a shitty ass record against top teams? They'd be middle of the pack in the West.

[RD2191]

The Raptors are fucking overrated. Don't they have a shitty ass record against top teams? They'd be middle of the pack in the West.

:lol Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

[LittleCriminal]

Now I know why DDR slipped at halfcourt. He's wearing fukkin Nike's..

[SouthTexasRancher]

If LMA was that sick, why did Pop even put him in the game? Pop, is known as a coach that won't play you if you have a tiny cut from shaving, a headache 2 days ago, you're constipated or your flossing put a microscopic nick on your gum. Seriously I don't understand Pop's game plan after seeing LMA wasn't well tonight. :bang

[GAustex]

Now I know why DDR slipped at halfcourt. He's wearing fukkin Nike's..
He slipped because he has no feel for making winning basketball plays

[LittleCriminal]

He slipped because he has no feel for making winning basketball plays

Agreed. Spurs looking for the story book ending tonight.

[GusT15]

He slipped because he has no feel for making winning basketball plays

He slipped cause the best defensive on ball player in the league came at him at full force and he shitted his pants.

He was thinking "Oh they're gonna foul me and i will hit two free throws and i will be a hero and..." and suddenly he saw a gigantic hand swiping at the ball and he froze and fell.

Damn how i miss the BBIQ of Parker and Ginobili.They would probably pass the ball so many times between them the other team would foul at 10 secs left.
(And either of them would miss a free throw but i don't even care)

[widowmaker]

The team went out for the win whats his name choked.

[TheGoatishere]

:lol Denial is not just a river in Egypt.

No he’s right they are overrated .

[timtonymanu]

:lol Spurs fans calling any team better than theirs overrated when you have people on here who think the spurs can make the 2nd round or have enough depth on their roster lol

[paperboy77]

Wow... straight up choke by DeRozen. That sux. Mofo better fix that shit pretty quick.

[timtonymanu]

I mean I don't doubt he can break those habits. But whatever, he came out and won us games early. We are worse without him this yr

We will better off without him next year. Not sure what it is you see in him that can magically break his habits

[SpurPadre]

Worst Rodeo Road Trip ever, guys? Or have there been worse ones?

[loveforthegame]

FWIW.

https://mobile.twitter.com/NBAOfficial/status/1099156825700794370

[SpurPadre]

DeRozan on his chokejob: "I knew they were going to be aggressive, trying to make a play on the ball and then foul," DeRozan said. "I've just got to be more aware."

That's shit a wide-eyed 21 year old rookie would understandably say not a 29 year old veteran going on 30.

[RD2191]

No he’s right they are overrated .

DeRozan on his chokejob: "I knew they were going to be aggressive, trying to make a play on the ball and then foul," DeRozan said. "I've just got to be more aware."

That's shit a wide-eyed 21 year old rookie would understandably say not a 29 year old veteran going on 30.
No shit DDR...I need to be more aware
Good grief what a dumbass chokejob loser
Pathetic

[RD2191]

:lol Spurs fans calling any team better than theirs overrated when you have people on here who think the spurs can make the 2nd round or have enough depth on their roster lol

The Spurs are garbage tbh :lol Raps are a very solid team with a shot at the Finals. It is what it is. Not sure why spurs fans are so salty tbh

Salty because one of our highest paid players made a got dam middle school play and fell down and lost a winnable game

[GAustex]

On top of that he let mf’er quitter steal his lunch money and seal the game
AND CRAPPED HIS BRITCHES WHEN WE NEEDED HIM MOST ON THE LAST SHOT
Rats
Damn
Alas

[Amuseddaysleeper]

DeRozan was surprisingly composed and played great up until the end. He had a fucking step on LDN for an easy lay-up/dunk on the last possession and he just decided to turn into a pussy instead. He tried playing hero so many times in crunch time during his slump but when he's actually been on he defers smh.

I was surprised more people weren't commenting on this. I thought he had an open lane for a dunk on Danny but just passed it out instead.

Such a heartbreaking way to lose.

be aware that there 4 other Spurs on the floor.

[bic50]

No he’s right they are overrated .
Biased opinion

[bic50]

The Raptors are fucking overrated. Don't they have a shitty ass record against top teams? They'd be middle of the pack in the West.
The word "overrated" get thrown around so much these days.

[justinandimcool]

If White and Aldridge weren’t 100% why not just sit them and take the blowout loss

good effort but wasted if the team wasn’t healthy anyways and had no chance

[Hoops Czar]

Even when DeRozan has a good game, he finds a way to screw things up. Leonard made a half-hearted on a steal attempt and DDR completely lost his composure.. He's just a colossel waste of a roster spot.

[Hoops Czar]

White and Aldridge at 50% is better than Forbes and Poeltl at 200%.

amen czar, preach!

[Rusty]

Nephew played like crap and the Raptors still won. How demoralizing

[sasaint]

We will better off without him next year. Not sure what it is you see in him that can magically break his habits

I pray you are right but fear you are wrong. Pop is gonna stay pat with DeMar.

[Spurtacular]

SMH DeRozan dribbling up against a double team including Kawhi.

[Chillen]

Spurs played well it's just to bad DeMar didn't pass the ball and got klawed by Kawhi at the end of the game. Spurs need to play better and harder now if they want to stay in the playoff race. Hopefully DeMar learns from this to be more aware next time.

Raptors looking like a tough out in the East playoffs for Celtics, 76ers and Bucks.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

I hope adam silver dies in an AIDS riddled plane crash

+1

[heyheymymy]

+1

I hope hes making money from it cause it sure isn't entertaining.

I'm afraid to even follow and get excited about Derrick white. Is Adam silver gonna steal him for his New York market as soon as he gets good?

Fuck this 12 year old playing 2k on xbox bullshit.

[duncan2k5]

Aside from the fact that we lost, big-picture wise, this was a great game for the Spurs. Pop has shown us what his playoff rotation looks like, and we've seen it can win in the home court of the team that will likely make the Finals in the East.

Wait what?? That's just like any other bad team that comes close to beating a good team in the regular season... Let's not be deluded... Any good team would absolutely maul us in the playoffs... Kawhi played horrible today and they still won... DDR played great, which doesn't happen in the playoffs... Let's not count eggs

[duncan2k5]

They were surrounding him, daring the rest of the team to show up.

Ppl do that to good players all the time... Doesn't render them into a piece of shit

[duncan2k5]

No doubt, but he had opportunities to establish himself. He just didn't seem sharp. Maybe he took extended rest since he didn't have much w/all star weekend.

U thinking too hard... It's because DDR was having a good game

[duncan2k5]

And something else, if this team as presently constracted was being coached by someone else we would be talking about the lottery right now. The only problem i have with Pop is some of the contracts he gave to specific players namely Gasol and Patty even though Patty at least tries. No one knows exactly what the offers were for nephew and his group so we shouldn't place any blame there without knowing the whole story. We have a team with zero all stars and and an inexperienced backcourt and injury prone players, we desperately need to tank next season unless you can get KD for example which is a pipe dream.

We actually have two all stars

[Slippy]

Demar's play was much improved but those last 5min became Defrozan iso ball. Becoming very accustomed to these type of finishes since Demar got here.

This why Derrick White needs to be the floor general. Aside from getting the best out of him , you see less of Demar trying to make plays with the ball. It's predictable and easy to guard against.

[NameLess Scrub]

Couldn't watch and was OK with a blowout, only to find out it was actually close and Spurs lost due to some DeMar turnover. Now I'm angry :madrun

[offset formation]

Can't believe Pop didn't call a timeout.

I kept wondering why Kawhi wasn't fouling and then I remembered, yeah, that's why.

[duncan2k5]

Ppl just need to stop testing him at the end of games... It doesn't end well... There's no shame in passing it up to someone else

[BackHome]

Worst Rodeo Road Trip ever, guys? Or have there been worse ones?

Yeah when we ranked for David and when we ranked for Timmy.

Thats on Fucking Poop ��

[TheGoatishere]

How the hell didn’t any our players stay in the backcourt to help DD when they clearly planned to trap ?

[kaji157]

The entire team was mistaken in that possession, kawhi was lucky, green helped. No spur was there to help out DeMarr.
Other than that it was a good game, if they build on it this can be an important step, let's hope DeMarr doesn't get mentally hit by this.

[Arcadian]

This is our first time being Klaw'd on the receiving end!

(He's lucky no timeout was called, though...shooting 8-23, a loss would've fallen on him.)
