Spurs Guarding Kawhi With Mills

[Spurtacular]

:lmao The humiliation

[timtonymanu]

:pop: but it worked in the 1st half so I'll go to it again

[John B]

and Kawhi struggling :lmao

[offset formation]

and Kawhi struggling :lmao

To say the least. He looks passive...disengaged I'd almost say. He's such a strange man. I'd never invest a max contract in that guy because I don't know that hismind is even in it anymore, nevermind his quad.

[Slob]

Putting Mills on Kawhi is like guarding him with a WNBA player.

[phxspurfan]

Kawhi is a bitch so not surprised he's struggling. Not sure what happened after the championship years to him but he's a shell of his former MVP self, in terms of dominance. Sure, he can volume score, when he decides to even play the game. But that's a speck of what he used to deliver when he was on the Spurs.

[BackHome]

So glad we did not give KY that huge mega Million contract

[jermaine]

Fuck Kawhi... He's bitch. I wouldn't really want that nigga. Pay him all that money an he only plays half a season.

[SpurPadre]

I fucking hate Forbes...

[SpurPadre]

So, what happened to dropping 50, DeRozan?

[SpurPadre]

That's game

[tonski17]

it worked because he was quicker but when the raptors shifted to posting kiwi vs patty then the problem started. where's Rudy gay down the stretch?

[tonski17]

I fucking hate Forbes...

he had a bad game on both ends of the floor. the spurs should trade this guy.hehe costly turnover by DDR was the play of the game.hehe

[SpurPadre]

No team would want him. If it weren't for the Spurs, he'd be in the Iraqi league, tbh.

[SouthTexasRancher]

Pop, why do you continue to start a "not ready for prime time" player, i.e., Bryn Forbes? He is at best a 2nd team'er but, probably closer to 3rd team bench warmer. JMHO :ihit

[YGWHI]

I liked Patty on him because it wasn't really a single coverage in most minutes. Pop did a great job to get Patty and one of LMA/Jakob/Davis/Rudy synchronized to double Kawhi and it worked all game until last quarter when DD was on him.

Then Kawhi finally looked like himself in the 4th
11 PTS
3 REB
4-6 FG

[bic50]

Fuck Kawhi... He's bitch. I wouldn't really want that nigga. Pay him all that money an he only plays half a season.
You didn't have a choice

Still mad

[YGWHI]

Call me crazy but I loved Patty in this game. And Davis. And Jakob. Plus, Belli was hot.

Our 2nd unit is getting better and better.

Our 2nd unit was playing out of their minds for being on the road. LMA with 6 points is what killed us. Very winnable game.

Agree with you. This was one of the best shooting games on the road in this season for our shooters. Amazing job.

I guess someone on TV said LMA was sick with a cold. That would explain his bad game.

[RD2191]

Kawhi shitting all over OP with his signature steal and dunk. :lol

[GAustex]

Our 2nd unit was playing out of their minds for being on the road. LMA with 6 points is what killed us. Very winnable game.
It was right there...a winnable game
Until numbnuts fell down and let quitter steal his lunch money
That was a bad as it gets...all star/high paid player...was a joke

[r0drig0lac]

the fact that Greg put Patty in Kawhi, should be seen exactly the opposite way.

[jermaine]

You didn't have a choice

I'm not saying on the Spurs.... I'm saying in general. An to that nigga who posted after you, I'm not upset. I'm disappointed!

[spursparker9]

So, what happened to dropping 50, DeRozan?

He meant dropping on the owner or GM.

Not his fellow former teammates/best friend

[monty4329]

I fucking hate Forbes...

Still, DDR lost the game, not Forbes

[monty4329]

Call me crazy but I loved Patty in this game. And Davis. And Jakob. Plus, Belli was hot.

They should in fact close the games. Instead we keep having crybaby handjobbing the ball ending up losing it or shooting short of the rim...again and again...

[monty4329]

The a-hole wanted the free throws to close the game...God I can't take him any longer, I daydream Pop just dumping him on the bench and forgetting his existence.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

So, what happened to dropping 50, DeRozan?

probably meant purchasing a Nephew jersey from the raptors store

[SpurPadre]

Still, DDR lost the game, not Forbes

I hope Forbes buys Zion's shoes, tbh.

[monty4329]

Forbes doesn't need to buy shoes, he gets them for free since he is a starter in the NBA and makes millions to perform his job.
Somebody else instead tries to jinx him, besides having to buy his own garments. To each his own, I guess.

[TD 21]

If that didn't encapsulate the current state of this franchise, I don't know what does . . . actually, maybe I do. Them pissing away a road game and losing in embarrassing fashion against a good team on national TV.

I can't tell if that was the geniuses way of telling scumbag what he thinks about his ability or lack thereof to beat them with the pass (since they obviously had to hard double on the catch), a message to DeRozan (the only somewhat suitable physical match-up, with Gay needed on Siakam) or both, but whatever the case, the organization should be humiliated.

All the apologists who criticize available wings who fit the physical profile but don't have the advanced stats to match, here's what they don't say: They at least don't require a hard double on the catch, opening up A+ looking and gifting a poor 3-point shooting team free points.

[Slippy]

Ya like orhers said it worked. They knew he wouldnt pass ball so usually sent a late double .

[Coach X]

Mills on nephew worked surprisingly well. DeRozan on him was worst but the team lost the game defensively near the rim, allowing several Raptors to score into the paint, after rebounds, fouling inside. Specially in the second half. In the final period, Jeremy Lin caused too many problems to Spurs defense as well. Poetl continues being inconsistent protecting the rim, his ratio good to bad defensive actions is something like 1:3 , very poor.

DeRozan played well but I was expecting something even better. That costly turnover is 50% on Pop's shoulders: DDR is not a point guard, and bringing the ball to the offensive court is a PG task. It's a common mistake a lot of superstars make. The team is full of guards who should have taken the ball to the offense. Hopefully, the team learns and avoids this in the most important possession of a game.

that's what happened the SA Shits :lol

GTFO , Load Management didn't do shit. He was simply an opportunist taking advantage of the most atrocious 4th quarter execution of the season.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

As always, seeing Mills and Forbes on the floor together in the 4th quarter of any game makes my stomach turn. Not a lot of options this season, though.

[Millennial_Messiah]

So Seattle with have two teams? The Seattle Pelicans and the Seattle Sonics? The rich get richer I suppose.

They won't be called the Pelicans if they leave Louisiana. Louisiana is the Pelican State. It's as much a part of the culture as Mardi Gras, crawfish, fried oysters, gumbo, jambalaya, tits, king cake, green/yellow/purple beads, and Katrina.. err... etoufee. Sort of like taking the lone star, cowboy heritage, frito pies out of Texas.

If the Pelicans leave to Seattle soon (they should, honestly)... they'll be the Sonics. So the Spurs can move to somewhere else more deserving of a team... perhaps one of the Missouri cities, they're pretty starved over there.

Why do Shits fans get so salty whenever someone starts an intelligent and practical conversation regarding relocation? :lol

The Spurs have one of the most loyal fan bases in the country, and are steeped in tradition. The only dynastic small market franchise in NBA history. So I'm essentially still waiting for that intelligent and practical conversation. Maybe you put one out there. Why would you suggest relocating them? Just to troll?

No, because it's practical. David Robinson is gone, Tim Duncan is finally gone and the team is on a serious downward spiral into mediocrity and below. This dynastic small market franchise only survived because of the incredible sustained success. San Antonio in a vacuum is a laid back city that doesn't really care about sports (except HS football and, to an extent, the Cowboys) but the Spurs formed a special place in their hearts starting with the Admiral and lasting all the way through the championships to the end of the TD era.

We all thought we had another star to tide us over for this next generation in Kawhi Leonard, but he broke the 25-year streak of loyalty and betrayed us. That was a polar magnetic shift that has plummeted the Spurs from being a perennial Western Conference contender to a mediocre team in 2019 and likely down into the basement of the league soon, very soon.

Out of all major pro sports franchises, I simply don't believe the Spurs can survive being bad and out of playoff contention for any significant length of years. Not in San Antonio. It's nothing like the Knicks or Lakers who have the market to survive being bad for a decade or more. The Spurs can't survive bad in San Antonio. They will lose money. Attendance will drop to 4,000 per game or less, mostly in the mid and upper decks. Casual fans (which make up >90% of any pro sports team's fanbase) across the metro area will prefer to get a head start on sleep, or eat tacos or burgers or binge watch Netflix and not even care about the Spurs game. Is it football season already?, meh, wake me up then, they will say. People across SA have already, slowly but surely, stopped watching the Spurs since TD walked out "that door", and even more-so since the Zaza Pachulia moment and our only hope, our future, our young franchise player bolting like the plague to Canada.

Soon, very soon, Popovich will be gone (he's already got one foot out the door for sure), Aldridge will move on like the rest and the city will be left with a rotting egg: a raw, listless team of young jocks who resemble the average pick-up ballers from the local duck pond court. The team will face a nuclear winter of 20-something or worse win seasons and "crowds" that resemble those at your average UTSA baseball games.

The team will bleed money, and the Holts will be forced to sell or leave town, so they will grudgingly sell, and the buying party will make the easiest decision of their lives by paying the arena lease-breakage penalty and relocate the team far, far away to begin a new future in a profitable and more exciting city. Ultimately, San Antonio taxpayers will revel and applaud the decision to get that albatross off their backs and this city will return to its roots as the laid-back, Western, BBQ and tacos, easy-goin' warm-and-humid retreat that it was born to be.
