Game Thread: Spurs @ Knicks - Sunday 2/24/19 6:30 PM CT

[RD2191]

:lmao:lmao spurms. What a pathetic group of bums.

[Spurs da champs]

Poop, he claims to be so intent on making the playoffs (evident by the horrible trade for DDR) yet he rests the most important player on the team. This team cant afford to rest key players like they could 3-4 years ago, what a fool. Everybody is banged up at this point, if White can play, play him.

[Eggeye]

Take that for Data!

[SuperCam]

Fizdale owns Poop btw. goes toe to toe to him with far inferior talent. if he ever matches the spurms in talent which is probably as soon as this offseason, poop might never beat him again

[GreekSpursfan]

That's what I am thinking; Yeia sou! LA had 3 rebounds the entire game. And it's ok to not get the rebounds as long as you box out, but did not box out.
Geia sou file, agreed.

[gambit1990]

gambit my dude :toast. People gave you shit all year for something that was an easy call. One step closer to missing the playoffs.
:toast

[gambit1990]

knicks did this without deandre too.

[BackHome]

Looking at remaining schedule I think we only win 5 more games for the season.

[Genovaswitness]

Pop is gonna talk about how black panther should win an Oscar and what at honor it is to lose to a black coach

[timtonymanu]

:pop: No need to watch the game film, I think I’ll show all the Oscar acceptance speeches instead.

:pop: guys it's just basketball. Did you see the courageous act by Kaepernick? And our president is a madman.

Pop is just as big of a joke as Black Panther.

[Killakobe81]

and when they don't, you'll like it and defend it. :lmao
Hey ease up on my boy Deeps.
He can smell the shit in Lakerland but ignores the shit down by the Riverwalk

[GreekSpursfan]

the midget crew are a combined 5 of 25. Just maybe spacing and defense as in getting stops as a team is the issue.

How sad. Can't even beat the knicks

Too many holes everywhere and people think Murray coming back and White will fix everything. Can't have expectations with LMA and Derozan as your main guys.

[Larry O]

Sigh... looks like both SA teams will loose tonight... and another loss for the Good Guys tomorrow, BOOK IT, SMH... Hmmm... worst RRT in Spurs history? SMH... This game shouldn't have been televised nationally. This was embarrassing, tbh! Fisdale probably told his team that tonight their home loosing streak will end cause they are playing the defenseless, iso balling, no 3 point shooting, no energy, no swag, no athletic team, midget playing in the Spurs. And they could take that for data, lol...

[skin27]

Another loss tommorow and we’ll be out of the playoff picture

Calling this team "the Good Guys." I've never seen a roster and coach of the Spurs from top to bottom be so hard to root for.

[Hoops Czar]

Bertans is slowly but surely answering the question of whether or not he's clutch. His defense almost makes you feel sorry for him.

[SpurPadre]

It was absolutely the correct decision. What type of move could they have made with this poor of a roster that would have moved the needle? You really want to give up picks and/or young players for a player that might help the spurs barely make the playoffs and get bounced?

In this day and age, you've got to take chances. You can't play it safe with that passive mentality year in and year out just because you won a title 5 years ago, because then, it'll be 15 years ago with that mindset.

[stu scotts eye]

Got Dam it. Our defense blows a$$. And this whole dam season, if we ever play good defense on a possession, we often end up fouling and bailing the other team out. Sigh

Ho lee fuk, that's embarrassing.

[SpurPadre]

Should've done LMA a favor and traded him to a contender, tbh.

[SpurPadre]

Our last win vs. the Grizzlies was so undeserving.

[KDKSpurs24]

DeRozan and a 1st for Jrue Holiday! Idgaf. Pels wouldn’t even wanna do it

[mexicanjunior]

Samuel L Jackson just made fun of the Spurs losing to the Knicks on the Oscars...

[BatManu20]

Spurs fan Samuel L. Jackson just trolled us at the Oscars :lmao

[SpurPadre]

LMAO, watching the Oscars and Samuel L. Jackson just made a joke about the Spurs losing to the Knicks. We're now laughing stocks.

[TimmyBuckets]

Sam Jackson just congratulated Spike on Knicks winning. This team is utter and complete trash btw

[gambit1990]

before the all star break they went through the spurs' upcoming schedule on inside the nba and charles was like, "at least they'll get a w against the knicks" :lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

Knicks were on a 18 game home losing streak too LMAO. Also without Deandre Jordan, pathetic

[Texas_Ranger]

thank god no one watches the oscars

[daslicer]

LMAO, watching the Oscars and Samuel L. Jackson just made a joke about the Spurs losing to the Knicks. We're now laughing stocks.

Nah you just got low self esteem. Nationally nobody gives a shit about the Spurs. The joke by Samuel Jackson will be forgotten tomorrow.

[slick'81]

Thank god for those 8 points from fatty mills

[Rosewood]

This team sucks.

[Jsmoothexpress]

He requires touches and makes the team worse.
I feel what you saying. My honest opinion I don’t think he’s a cancer. I think he just doesn’t fit this team. Only way it works with DeRozan is if he is a facilitator/ scorer. But this team is designed for ball movement so his game doesn’t fit the team unless Pop wants the offense ran through him. Me personally I like when D. White is the primary ball handler. But I don’t think DeRozan is a cancer I just think it’s hard to add a player with his skill set to this team. Especially since we already have a mid range dominate player in LMA.

Poop is the ultimate cancer :lol he got rook'd and this time, no free throw disparity to bitch about :lol

[gambit1990]

if pop wasn't the prez of the organization... i wonder what the spurs could get in a trade for him...

[gambit1990]

celtics got a first-round draft pick for trading doc to the clippers.

[SouthTexasRancher]

There is not one Spur who is untradeable including Pop who I am thinking the team has tuned out. This team has a better record than the 1988-89 Spurs with their 21 win season but, this Spurs team is not really any better. There is no heart, no fire in the belly, no backbone, and no big balls player. This is definitely one of the worst rodeo road trips ever, if not the worst. This team has absolutely, positively no chance in the playoffs. As much as I hate saying this I think it is time to seriously think about the draft and how we can improve our lot by trading various players on this team. Everyone should be considered tradeable at this point. We will never, ever win a championship with either DD or LMA as the supposed leaders of this team. And no they don't need more time. A whole bunch of teams are playing with new players and they are rocking the league. This team is a bad mix that can't get their act together to save their lives. We've got to include our bigger name players to even get one team in the league willing to trade with us. It is fools gold to think this team has any real chance in the playoffs and it'll only get worse next season with LMA, DD, Rudy Gay and Pau Gasol not getting any younger. And it remains to be seen if DjM can come back and not show the effects of his ACL injury. And we need his athleticism and a whole lot more from other players who just don't have it. Pop is pretty much stuck in the old school way of life. Pop really needs to give retiring some serious thought. JMHO.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Just watched the Samuel Jackson shout to Spike. Wow complete embarrassment

[slick'81]

Def the most embarrassing loss sans phoenix

[TDomination]

Derrick white should win mvp.

This is the same team that beat the top seeds of the nba a month ago. Had a 5 game winning streak going into the rrt but then his injury happened. Then first game back and we nearly beat a really good Raptors team that plays great at home. A few days later we lose to the worst team in the league without him.

This is just embarrassing. Its not like it was even close. Pathetic.

That's fair, and you make a good point.

Welp guys just gotta face it, every win should be enjoyed and every loss will a little closer to hopefully Pop/RC realizing the team isn’t good enough to win

Man he really needs to retire. Arrogant POS. Always being snarky with the media but his pathetic coaching job says it all. Losing so much respect for him as a person.

[tbdog]

Oh they know that but nothing can be done. Draft night is the best time to trade. Getting Murray back would seal one ceiling leak.

Fuck that angry, arrogant old man. He needs to retire immediately if not sooner. It is easy to see why players start tuning this dip-shit out. The way he treats everyone is appalling. He has never gotten over his sorry ass. Pop, you asshole, your time has come and now it's gone. Retire you old fart. :ihit

Even if everyone turn against Pop i will still support him as a coach, as a POBO-GM he did a lousy job but his hand was forced on some of those desicions.

The players are just an extension of the head coach. Pathetic breeds pathetic.

[GigaloGino]

DjM will not make any impact when he comes most Pros can't do what they use to. DjM is young which is nice but I don't see him making a come back. I hope I am wrong. We needed his defense and athletics. ACL injuries are very hard to come back from. D. Rose took several years to come back. We need to flip DjM for something maybe a draft pick. For christ sake please bounce Belineli. He suck at everything except shooting a 3. He turns it over so much or throws an awful pass for a Turnover. Other teams have figured him out and quickly Dbl team him so they can make him panicked a throw it away. He should never ever!... dribble the ball. He sucks at that and gets it stolen almost 4 of 5 times. We are lackluster on D. We cannot guard the 3 ball. We have no one to drive the ball. Everyone wants to shoot midrange jumpers and 3's. I know DDfrozen is not playing at his full potential. OMG please get rid of pau Gasol!

[duncan2k5]

I thought some genius on here was arguing with me and saying defense doesn't matter nowadays? Smh... F*cking non-basketball understand jackass

[GigaloGino]

Whoops totally did that wrong. I wanted to say the Spurs play like defense doesn't matter. Especially around the arc. Spurs Players too often try to guard the lane or crowd the middle, which leaves their man to get open and knock a 3 down. How often do we get steals? No very much. Pop is senile to not play Rudy. His D is good and he can score too.

[Slippy]

Spurs fan Samuel L. Jackson just trolled us at the Oscars :lmao

Havnt seen yet. If i was coach, would play this vid back for the players at every pregame workout from now on.

This loss is a new low. Even, Samuels had enough .

Rose didn't take a few years, he had more major injuries three years in a row. ACL injuries you can come back from but it takes a full season usually to get your confidence up and your fitness. Murray will come back well, but just not month one of the season.

[GigaloGino]

I bet you Pop has sat down with the team and got real with them. Telling them they have no chance as long as Gstate is around. I think he told them let's just make the PO to keep up the playoff record. He is a straight shooter so I think he told them they are dead in the west. Nobody cares about us. He probably also said we blew our chances for the 4 spot for homecourt advantage. And what the hell is our problem on the road?

[r0drig0lac]

no player goes on the court with intent to lose (especially when it will help him lose his place), believing we have guaranteed wins after losing shamefully in this season for Bulls and Suns is not very smart

wait, I thought the Knicks were tanking for Zion and this was a guaranteed victory.



Derrick White is the difference, tbh.
this is by no means a compliment to White, he's JUST a good player, just shows how the front office's work was destructive in the last three seasons.


We are by far the least athletic team in the league , everything that is happening is normal. In fact i think that we are overachieving.

exactly, some studs believe the Spurs have always won because of their players' high IQ, but the only reason for the winning seasons was that we always had more atg talent on the roster than 99% of the teams (D-Rob, DUNCAN, Manu, Kawhi, Parker).

Perhaps Pop forgot how to coach and control a game when he had elite vets like Parker, Manu, and Duncan controlling the pace. This allowed pop to concentrate and look for other avenues to beat a team. We don't have pg. He is injured for the season. We have White in and out due to an ongoing injury. Mills is not pg and played often next to Manu. So we have no one atm that controls a game and calls plays. And Pop hasn't had that for over 10 years.

[spurs10]

The players are just an extension of the head coach. Pathetic breeds pathetic. To some extent that is or can be true. Then again, you can't coach 'passion, desire, competitiveness, determination, or that "Manu" gene.'

first time this season i have the impression pop is genuinely upset with his team in front of reporters, and not just showboating to make a point or bc he dgaf

Coaches fault they shot 6/24 from 3. Damn it pop use your jedi force to move it in the hoop.

This game had zero to do with offense. we put up 118 or whatever it was. should have been good enough to win.
giving up 130 to the knicks is terrible. that was the issue.

[FkLA]

Nah. This team would still be in really great shape if it hadn't been blindsided by Nephew. Giving up Danny was dumb, the Paddy+Pau contract's were dumb, but those weren't catastrophic moves by the FO...this team would still be elite if Nephew simply hadn't turned into a bitch. Especially with the emergence of White.

making patty one of the higest paid sixth men and paying paus rotting corpse 16 mil is pretty catastrophic

[FkLA]

No because that implies that those contracts would cause the Spurs to suck or be mediocre even with Nephew around. I don't think that's the case. They'd be elite if Nephew hadn't turned into a bitch despite those two contracts.

[TheGoatishere]

Didn’t we lose to a tanking knicks team a couple years ago too:lmao

Now that i think of it ,the knicks have been destroying us in New York for years
