Game Thread: Spurs @ Hornets — Tue. (3/26) - 6:00/C (1:00am Riga Time)

[Arcadian]

Why shoot a fader? Do something that could potentially draw a foul. After holding their whistles on the previous 2 plays, they'd be even more likely to call something.

[spurraider21]

they should have drawn up a play for NOT THIS GAY

[Robz4000]

:lmao everything about that last possession

[DAF86]

That was absolutely the right play by DeRozan. He got a shot off, but made 100% sure that it was the last shot of the game.

That was horrible. Attack the damn basket.

[Slippy]

Haha should of known better. Unless someone other
than demar get s hot in OT. Spurs are not winning this.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Only thing I can imagine is Pop is trying to build his game closing confidence during the regular season, I hope that project comes to an end come playoff time.

[sasaint]

He did. White can't stay in front of him either. Kemba is just that dude. I'd almost rather see Rudy on him to at least give him some size problems.

LMA is supposed to show on those drives. But he isn't, and it is leaving his guards hanging out to dry. Pop just chewed on him after Kemba beat White on that last layup.

[boutons_deux]

DDR IS a loser

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Rudy Gay or white should be the only ones with the ball closing

[Alfo21]

I didn't even get excited at the last posession LMAO. Was 100% expecting DeMar chucking a long 2 like its a great way to close the game lol. This shot selection is laughable at this point, he is like 2/19 at this type of shots.

[r0drig0lac]

Kemba in the zone

[ZeusWillJudge]

Why shoot a fader? Do something that could potentially draw a foul. After holding their whistles on the previous 2 plays, they'd be even more likely to call something.


Because at that point you can't lose the game if they don't get another shot. If they foul him with 3 seconds left, he makes both FT's, and then they knock down a 3 at the buzzer, everyone here would be screaming for his head. It was exactly the right play.

[GigaloGino]

That's was cute. DeFrozen thought he could pull some James Harden shit. Lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

About 4 minutes until a Kemba explosion tbh

[ZeusWillJudge]

LMA is supposed to show on those drives. But he isn't, and it is leaving his guards hanging out to dry. Pop just chewed on him after Kemba beat White on that last layup.

Yep.

[Joseph Kony]

yeah we're fucked, walker is going off now

[Slippy]

Only thing I can imagine is Pop is trying to build his game closing confidence during the regular season, I hope that project comes to an end come playoff time.

By the playoffs Demars confidence on closing is going to be zero. Haha yikes

[DAF86]

Fuck DeRozan. This loss is on him. Again.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Kemba killing us softly

[Robz4000]

Spurs deserve this loss after that disgusting shot by DeRozan.

[BatManu20]

Derrick White and Rudy Gay trying to out-brick each other’s this game.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Give it to LA!!!! FRANK KAMINSKY IS ON HIM

[r0drig0lac]

it's over...great job Pop

[Joseph Kony]

Game. Thanks Derozan you fucking useless faggot

[FkLA]

Elite offense beat elite defense. White was all over him. Can't be too upset about that.

[timtonymanu]

Again the team cannot keep a lead late in the game and they lose. Smh all these so called practice moments just to get swept by the warriors again.

[DAF86]

Because at that point you can't lose the game if they don't get another shot. If they foul him with 3 seconds left, he makes both FT's, and then they knock down a 3 at the buzzer, everyone here would be screaming for his head. It was exactly the right play.

No, it was horrible. Stop trying to justify it.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Getting swept to the Hornets :lol

[YoungbuckMurray]

Pathetic 3 point shooting

[sasaint]

Because at that point you can't lose the game if they don't get another shot. If they foul him with 3 seconds left, he makes both FT's, and then they knock down a 3 at the buzzer, everyone here would be screaming for his head. It was exactly the right play.

The timing was excellent, but I would prefer a shot moving toward the basket - not that the refs will call a foul, anyway. Just saying...

[GreekSpursfan]

Its over. White has been trash tonight and if we are being honest and objective he cost us the game, we had a foul to give.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Game. Thanks Derozan you fucking useless faggot

[emanueldavidginobili]

Pops a joke I would literally have ANYONE other than Forbes covering Kemba in crunch time

[BatManu20]

Fuck DeRozan. This loss is on him. Again.

Lol no it’s not. He hasn’t been great, but we wouldn’t even be in OT without him. Derrick White is 0-11 and Patty is 0-6....

[Degoat]

We suck on the road... what else do we expect

[$pursDynasty]

Only thing I can imagine is Pop is trying to build his game closing confidence during the regular season, I hope that project comes to an end come playoff time.
this can't be helping because my confidence in him closing is near zero

[DAF86]

DeRozan had Bertans coming all alone from the screen.

[in2deep]

The Martian looking retard is gabage

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

White's been terrible.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Mills and White 0-16. Lets get off DDR dick terrible shot but 0-16 cmon

[FkLA]

Why didn't Demar pass Bertans the ball there? He had open 3.

[r0drig0lac]

Lol no it’s not. He hasn’t been great, but we wouldn’t even be in OT without him. Derrick White is 0-10 and Patty is 0-6....

word....
the problem was Pop putting Forbes in Kemba

[Texas_Ranger]

good game losers.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Kemba is a supreme offensive talent tbh.

[$pursDynasty]

White filleted by Harden and now by Kemba, now he is boneless

[tbdog]

Pops a joke I would literally have ANYONE other than Forbes covering Kemba in crunch time

Did White do better? No. Could White hit a shot? No. It was the right thing to do. Walker was torching everyone.

[slick'81]

Spurs are what they are.no excuses after this road effort

[KDKSpurs24]

This is ridiculous...

[Hoops Czar]

White has been nothing short of pathetic this game,

[DAF86]

Lol no it’s not. He hasn’t been great, but we wouldn’t even be in OT without him. Derrick White is 0-10 and Patty is 0-6....

I do not give a fuck. Pulling that dumb, soft ass shit when you can win the game is inexcusable. If he would have missed on a good hard drive, I wouldn't have a problem.

[Larry O]

Good night, drive safely. This game is over, SMH...

[emanueldavidginobili]

End of March game with less than 10 games remaining fighting for playoff position and lose to the 34-39 Hornets Lmao fucking embarrassing

[timtonymanu]

Only thing I can imagine is Pop is trying to build his game closing confidence during the regular season, I hope that project comes to an end come playoff time.

:lol it won't even matter when the team challenges the Dubs again.

[FkLA]

Is it just me or did DD look pissy that he was taken out?

[tbdog]

We are so bad on the road. But in OT, Hornets were just dancing on the perimeter and shooting and making 3's. I am still a few years behind, but that's usually a bad shot. Today, it's a great way to win games.

[sasaint]

White's been terrible.

Why single him out? The whole team looked pathetic except for that late stretch by DeMar. Just pathetic effort from everybody, and a plague of brickitis.

[gambit1990]

all those morons who were like "we could've used tony this year" :lol
the hornets can't even use him :lmao

[Chris]

Hornets are a Lamb buzzer beater away from losing this game. Momentum is a hell of a drug.

[GreekSpursfan]

White was a disaster in this game.

[boutons_deux]

41% is loser ball

[FkLA]

Coasting. Spurs don't get up for Eastern conference bottom dwellers, tbh.

[Larry O]

Scrubs coming in... Pop throwing in the towel....

[sasaint]

Hornets are a Lamb buzzer beater away from losing this game. Momentum is a hell of a drug.

Yep. Unfortunately right now we are playing like we are on smack.

[BillMc]

Shazzbat

[GreekSpursfan]

Scrubs coming in... Pop throwing in the towel....

They replaced scrubs tbh, because some of them were just that.

[sasaint]

Is it just me or did DD look pissy that he was taken out?

I wondered about it, but the camera didn't stay on him long enough for me to really tell.

[RC_Drunkford]

Pop loves to lose against former assistants

[BillMc]

Well, let's hope OKC continues to implode. It's implode-off 2019!

[timtonymanu]

Coasting. Spurs don't get up for Eastern conference bottom dwellers, tbh.

All it's getting them is a first round matchup with the Warriors so coasting definitely doesn't make things easier for this team.

[Barfunk]

Yeah, a first round matchup with the Warriors will be a nightmare. The refs will not give us an inch of daylight against that team.

[Arcadian]

Because at that point you can't lose the game if they don't get another shot. If they foul him with 3 seconds left, he makes both FT's, and then they knock down a 3 at the buzzer, everyone here would be screaming for his head. It was exactly the right play.

I agree with taking the last shot, but do it going toward the hoop, not away from it.

[Larry O]

Give Borrego and the the Bees props for coming up with a game plan to double LMA to get him out of rhythm and let the Spurs perimeter game and midrange game to fail with good defense. DD10 finally came alive, but but played too soft at the end of regulation, when I believe, that he should have attacked the basket to at least draw a foul, SMH...

[timtonymanu]

Yeah, a first round matchup with the Warriors will be a nightmare. The refs will not give us an inch of daylight against that team.

It will be over midway through the 1st when the Splash Bros take turns lighting up Bryn/Demar.

[boutons_deux]

I agree with taking the last shot, but do it going toward the hoop, not away from it.

and from 15+ feet

[FkLA]

All it's getting them is a first round matchup with the Warriors so coasting definitely doesn't make things easier for this team.

If we can somehow luck into getting DEN + avoid GS in the 2nd round I'd prefer that over getting the 4th seed + facing GS in the 2nd round.

But if we draw GS we're fucked, obviously.

[ElNono]

great loss, tbh... hopefully we lock in that #8 seed, and get a better pick...

[slick'81]

luckily for the spurs 4-8 are imploding in the west

[emanueldavidginobili]

Did White do better? No. Could White hit a shot? No. It was the right thing to do. Walker was torching everyone.
Once he got in fucking rhythm from torching Forbes are you kidding me. Let Kemba score 3 baskets in a row and get hot and then throw White on him the last minute of the game expecting him to shut him down.

[skin27]

Where are the white fanboys now?:lmao

[timtonymanu]

Where are the white fanboys now?:lmao

:lol White sucked but let's not act like he's the reason this team is so mediocre right now.

[SpurPadre]

We would've lost by 30 if Teammate Wife Fucker played tonight, tbh.

[Spur|n|Austin]

this can't be helping because my confidence in him closing is near zero

Near zero? I straight up told my wife, "watch, Derozan is going shoot a whack ass last shot".

[Spur|n|Austin]

Where are the white fanboys now?:lmao

LOL come on.

[RD2191]

Wtf happened? :lmao spurms

[Barfunk]

It will be over midway through the 1st when the Splash Bros take turns lighting up Bryn/Demar.

It would be a nightmare series, really.

[$pursDynasty]

Spurs trying to makeup for the 48 point night, by trying to get everyone else off to start the game probably ended up costing them the game in the end. Three point shooting went cold and you can't count on DeFrozen

[timtonymanu]

LOL come on.

That poster is legit stupid anyway

[timtonymanu]

LOL come on.

That poster is legit stupid anyway

[tbdog]

Walker was in rhythm in the 3rd.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

Spurs went toe to toe with the Charlotte Hornets. I should make a thread about it too.

[timtonymanu]

Sup son?

[timtonymanu]

14-24 on the road. Lol yeah this team is gonna magically turn it around in the playoffs on the road.

[Mugen]

Just finished the game....

All I can say is what a stupid faggot fucking team. Everybody knew that they were gonna lose this after winning against the Celtics but it's still surprising the absolute faggotry they are still able to surprise their fans with during this garbage season....

The game was lost when they were up by 10 and Pop decided to put Patty fucking Mills in because he was shooting a red hot 0-4 from the field to guard one of the best fucking PGs in the league. In a shocking turn of events, Kemba proceeded to get any shot he wanted and get it going the rest of the game....it's okay though because Patty can organize a fucking coffee date with the other losers on the team so he's worth the 12mil a year.....

Then when the chips were down late in the 4th, despite having multiple opportunities to go offense/defense, he decided to try Bryn Fucking Forbes on Kemba instead. Let it be clear, DWhite can be 0-40 from the field, throwing Nazi salutes while yelling I'm a fucking pedophile for most of the game and I'd still want him out there over absolute fucking losers like Patty or Bryn.

And of course the old man couldn't figure out the high screen play the Hornets were running to get Kemba going downhill towards the cup, the same play that he couldn't figure out when Doc Rivers ran that shit down his throat during the 2015 chokejob......

Just an absolute bunch of fucking losers. I really hope they draw Golden State and get embarrassed by 20+ in each game so it convinces the old fuck to finally retire. Getting fucking outcoached by James Fucking Borrego out of all people, the faggot that was holding Ettore and Ime's clipboards all of last year.

What a fucking loser organization tbh.

Getting GS gives them an excuse. If they are going to lose, I'd rather be it against any other team.

This was suppose to be the easiest part of the schedule and they only managed 1 out of 4 wins during this stretch, losing to two fringe playoff teams, one at home. There’s just no pride with these losers , no fucking excuses. Only the realists could see that they were gonna blow winnable games in this final stretch. Won’t be surprised if they follow up more losses to Cleveland, Dallas on this schedule.

[timtonymanu]

Getting GS gives them an excuse. If they are going to lose, I'd rather be it against any other team.

It would be hilarious to see the Spurs shit the bed against Denver, despite the confidence of some fans on here to upset them.

[Mugen]

timvp - let me save you some time my man...
.:pop:. B- "Pop had to lift Derrick in the 3rd because of foul trouble. There's really not much he could have done in that situation considering the Spurs had a double digit lead and I don't think putting arguably the worst PG defender on Kemba was the reason that he starting getting it going. Same thing with the end of the 4th, Derrick was off offensively all night (he did have 4 free throws in the last qtr) so it was the right move going with the hot hand of Bryn. His zero points were really valuable in spacing the floor for Derozan to make some flukey midrange jumpers, the fact that Kemba was able to get anything he wanted had nothing to do with Forbes' defense. At the end of the day, you really can't put this one on Pop as the Hornets were hot coming into tonight. Onto the next one."

[TimDunkem]

Forbes is the new culture guy along with Patty. Get used to him.

[ZeusWillJudge]

I agree with taking the last shot, but do it going toward the hoop, not away from it.


Yea, I would have liked to see him get a better shot. I would have hated to see him dribble into traffic, get stripped, and everyone here crying because "the refs won't call a damn foul in the last seconds, even when it's obvious."

If you have to live in fear that your team can't be competitive in O/T, you've got bigger problems that that one shot. I mentioned in another thread, but Pop had two timeouts to work with, too. You can't let him off the hook for that shitshow.

[ZeusWillJudge]

:pop: "Their shots fell. Ours didn't. It's only basketball."

[NameLess Scrub]

I miss our cheerleaders


Maybe they do too, and that's why they can't win on the road.



It's becoming too easy to predict :lol

[Othyus Lalanne]

We would've lost by 30 if Teammate Wife Fucker played tonight, tbh.

Shooters gonna shoot, penetrators gonna penetrate.

[Bellboy]

:pop:” We we’re at a disadvantage tonight. Tony was like a coach on the floor tonight. “

Reporter: But Pop, Tony was a DNP- Coaches Decision tonight.

:pop:” Didn’t I tell you guys Jussie Smollett was innocent. “

[r0drig0lac]

And of course the old man couldn't figure out the high screen play the Hornets were running to get Kemba going downhill towards the cup, the same play that he couldn't figure out when Doc Rivers ran that shit down his throat during the 2015 chokejob......



exactly

[jjktkk]

What a fucking loser organization tbh.

I know you like to try and impress your pretend friends on here, who you've never met before, but the Spurs are not a losing organization. Your shitty basketball takes on here make you a loser, nut not the Spurs organization tbh.

[baseline bum]

What a terrible loss. This was as bad as the one to the Knicks. All the Spurs had to do is beat the bad teams on the schedule to avoid the #8 seed but no one should have any confidence in them to do so if the game isn't at the AT&T Center. After the Houston game the schedule got really easy outside of one road game in Denver but I'm not sure it matters.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

Lol game was so bad that Timvp didn't even bother to grade it :lol

[TDomination]

Lol game was so bad that Timvp didn't even bother to grade it :lol
lol
i keep waiting for the grades.
if he graded the knicks loss (worse loss ever) i'm sure this one will be graded. perhaps delayed?

[Mugen]

I know you like to try and impress your pretend friends on here, who you've never met before, but the Spurs are not a losing organization. Your shitty basketball takes on here make you a loser, nut not the Spurs organization tbh.

Fans like you are why the PATFO is now content to be a loser organization tbh. :lol

[TDomination]

Fans like you are why the PATFO is now content to be a loser organization tbh. :lol

Every team in the NBA will look as if they are content with where they are at if they don't make roster moves for the sake of showing that they are "trying" to win. And whats funny is that the teams that are actually content with where they are at, are being praised because they are tanking and showing "initiative" on trying to improve in the future.

OKC, Rockets, Lakers have all recently made plenty of big splash moves, or at least moves that make people on this forum say "And of course PATFO just twiddles their thumbs being all content with having Mills and Forbes on the roster" And yet OKC is falling apart, Lakers already fell apart. Rockets will eventually fall apart in the playoffs. And this goes for other teams as well. None of their moves have lead to any Championships.

I can pretty much guarantee you that this organization is NOT content with losing. 22 Years of winning seasons straight pretty much puts an end to that discussion. Yes we don't have Timmy anymore and Pop will go away soon but this organization prides itself on being a winning organization. Things aren't always perfect but when you invest on a player, MVP caliber player, and you hope to build your future around him only to have him screw you and your plans over, well it doesn't make for great results. But it does not mean they are happy with where they are. And its pretty dumb to think that they are when everything they have done shows the exact opposite. You just feel frustrated cause this team is not good enough to win this year but thats just the way it is. I can almost guarantee we will win 50+ games next year (pending health), we will be back to a top 4 seed.

I'm sure some moves could have been done differently that may or may not have improved this team this year but all that is always going to be hindsight. You can't expect every team to succeed with every move they make.

But because a team struggles does not mean they are content with where they are at.

[SpurSpike]

Its like the Spurs where afraid to attack the paint in this game. Charlotte played big and scared the Spurs to pass the ball around the perimeter too much leading to turnovers and chucked 3's that were clanking left and right. When the Spurs attacked the paint they started scoring. Hell if DeRozan had attacked the paint on that last shot before overtime he would have had a much higher chance to sink a basket or get fouled. Being too timid lost the game.

[TimmyBuckets]

Another vintage performance by DePression.
