Game Thread: Spurs @ Nuggets — Wed. (4/3) - 8:00/C (4:00am Riga Time)

[BatManu20]

Quick turnaround as we’re in Denver tonight for a tough road game on a b2b and a possible view of our 1st-Round matchup. Nuggets also played last night as they were blown out against the Warriors on the road. Only 4 games left in the season. Let’s get it.

[KDKSpurs24]

Will we see Lonnie get some early minutes again tonight?

[NASpurs]

B2B on the road against the Nugs IN Denver? L-O-L

[spurraider21]

Spurs by 20+ tbh

[TDomination]

Maybe 1st round preview?

Is everyone available?

[KDKSpurs24]

Maybe 1st round preview?

I have a strong feeling that if we somehow win tonight and finish 7th then we will be matched up with #2 Houston. And there’s no team I hate watching play more than Houston. That would be draining, frustrating and miserable for me as a fan to watch.

[phxspurfan]

4 games left...

4 games left...
Man goes by so fast.

This season has been a slog tbh

-4.5? You already know that shit is easy money. Denver by at least 15 tonight tbh.

agree, although a chris paul injury could end Harden's career , if he comes to lose to weaker spurs of the last 20 years.

[spurraider21]

This season has been a slog tbh
bend over i'll show you a slog

[$pursDynasty]

I would rather not play the Rox in the first round of the playoffs, would be happier playing them in the 2nd round, more time for the inevitable CP0 injury and the Harden playoff flameout to occur.

[spurs10]

:flag:

[TDomination]

If there is one thing that Pop does own...it's D'Antoni.

No losses to him in playoffs correct? I mean in 17' Playoffs they probably should have beat us. No Kawhi for OT in game 5. And no Kawhi in game 6. Results: We win and win big.

Would be funny to see Pop beat him again this year.
I mean it took the suns not having D'Antoni to finally beat the Spurs in 2010 and that was with Gentry.

[slick'81]

Nuggets are gonna be pissed

[cd98]

Spurs play like crap against the bad teams and play the good teams close, so I expect a close game, but Denver has a real advantage in the altitude, so I think they win by like 5.

[BillMc]

:flag:
:clap

Spurs by 3 (somehow) unless Spurs keep their cards hidden for a playoff match-up.

[SpurPadre]

Nuggets by 25

[TDomination]

Spurs play like crap against the bad teams and play the good teams close, so I expect a close game, but Denver has a real advantage in the altitude, so I think they win by like 5.

i think its within 5 with like 8 minutes to go but then things fall apart at the end and they end up winning by 15 +

[phxspurfan]

If Derrick White comes back to playing like an All Star this team can beat Denver. If he continues to score 5 points a game we're fucked

[Spurch]

Spurs play like crap against the bad teams and play the good teams close, so I expect a close game, but Denver has a real advantage in the altitude, so I think they win by like 5.

U said it right bro, Spurs know should bring their A++++ game tonight Denver would want to redeem themselves and we do not want to be victims Spurs should know what to expect instead we should punch them in the face early, set the pace.

[wildbill2u]

What if Pop decides not to show our "a" game and tricks against Denver tonite and plays a lot of the bench, resting LA and DDR?

[heyheymymy]

I need some magic number niggas to tell me if we want to lose this game or not.

[RD2191]

Nuggets by 150+ tbh

[Dex]

I need some magic number niggas to tell me if we want to lose this game or not.

We don't want to lose any more games, especially this one. GSW has a 2-game lead on the Nuggets with 5 games left, so they almost have the 1-spot locked in. A Denver loss tonight would most likely put it to bed.

Meanwhile, the Spurs are still tied with the Thunder and own the tiebreaker, so as long as they can maintain that, we will keep the 7-spot barring a three-way tie. Tonight is the last "tough" matchup on the Spurs schedule, but apparently that means nothing these days. Meanwhile, OKC still has two tough games against the Rockets and Bucks.

The Clippers are 2 games ahead of the Spurs with 4 games left, so it would take the Spurs winning out and mini-collapse from LA to really open up the 6th spot.

[Rummpd]

Impossible win by a terrible road team. Against all logic Spurs 110 Nuggets 107

[phxspurfan]

Tonight is the last "tough" matchup on the Spurs schedule, but apparently that means nothing these days

2019 Spurs regular season decoder ring:

tough matchup = DWhite/LMA lead, team gives max effort, wins

cupcake = Mills/Forbes/DeMar lead, Cunningham plays, real talents give zero effort, Pop quits/ejected, embarrassing loss

[Keepin' it real]

Huge game!!! We need team spirit.

Everyone, "Go Spurs Go!" on three. 1, 2, 3 ...

[spurraider21]

Nuggets by 150+ tbh
coming from a guy who thinks opening a jar of peanut butter disproves evolution tbh... :wakeup

[Arcadian]

This ought to be interesting. The irony is that we need to win this game so can have a chance of facing Denver in the first round - but if we lose this game, we might not want to face Denver in the first round anymore. :lol

[Dex]

I just don't want to face Golden State again. Not only because they are nearly an impossible out...I'm just tired of playing them. 3 straight years of going out to the Warriors would be so lame.

I'd take literally any other matchup.

[jjktkk]

It would be nice to see this team get into some sort of rhythm in time for the playoffs.

Nuggs will probably win because Spurs are trash but they have played them well all year and should be 3-0 if not for all those fucking missed FTs in Denver. the other two wins here wouldve been beatdowns also had they not caught fire from deep in the last 6 minutes. Spurs tend to play the good teams tough, so hoping for a miracle. but that also brings Houston one step closer to 2nd

the Nuggets announcers think Aldridge and DeRozan have elevated their games for the playoff push:lmao

Pop trying to get ejected again so he doesn't have to watch this shit show

[ace3g]

Pop ejected

[NASpurs]

I mean, if Pop doesn't want to watch this shit, then I shouldn't either.

[Ron Swanson]

Ejected 63 seconds into the game.

[Robz4000]

Pop quit on the team too.

[Leetonidas]

Wtf Pop you fucking retard. Messina is garbage

[NASpurs]

Messina time... automatic loss.

[timtonymanu]

:lol Pop

[Cry Havoc]

Wtf. 1 minute in and Pop's gone? Wtf happened?

[Arcadian]

:lol Ejected again...this fucking guy.

[MVPCues]

Huh? 6 to 0 and Pop has been thrown out?

[emanueldavidginobili]

Two ejections in 3 games this guys something else

[Cry Havoc]

5% chance DRoze gets that call if Pop doesn't get tossed.

[Leetonidas]

DeScrub bricking FTs

[RC_Drunkford]

Damn he really got ejected :lmao Pop's not showing his cards by letting Messina coach

[Leetonidas]

Lmao now DeScrub has an open layup and turns it over instead

[Leetonidas]

And almost turned it over a second time:lmao

[NASpurs]

DeRozan has gone full retard.

[Cry Havoc]

Holy shit White, that was sick.

[Joseph Kony]

lol fucking mook already putting Mills in. what a dumbass

[Joseph Kony]

aldridge playing pussy ball

[skin27]

Nuggets can still drop to 3rd seed and might we face rockets instead.lol

[r0drig0lac]

damn shit show

[Dex]

Pop gets ejected arguing a bullshit no-call and gets a weak-ass double-tech and people want to question him? Over these shitty-ass refs?

You guys are really something else. What team are you even cheering for?

[ZeusWillJudge]

LMAO. I started to make a joke prediction earlier that Pop and DDR would both get ejected tonight. Pop got his in the first minute? What a clusterfuck.

[KDKSpurs24]

Wtf Bertans?! And Marco can NOT hit a shot without leaning...

[007nites]

Bertans LOL

[HarlemHeat37]

Bertans just killed the best highlight of Patty's career:lol

[ZeusWillJudge]

Pop gets ejected arguing a bullshit no-call and gets a weak-ass double-tech and people want to question him? Over these shitty-ass refs?

Well he put Bertans in the doghouse for half a season for getting himself ejected. If he expects self control, he ought to show some self control.

[Collins21]

If the Spurs come out and win this game watch these same fucks will still find reasons to complain. Then when someone calls them on it they get butt hurt.

i agree to an extent, but he jumped off the bench and started yelling at the ref right when it happened, and then continued into the timeout. we're 60 seconds into the game, he doesnt need to be jumping off the bench and screaming over a no call already tbh. is he tom thibbideau now? :lol but i agree, it was a bullshit tech initially and super weak ejection

[Dex]

Well he put Bertans in the doghouse for half a season for getting himself ejected. If he expects self control, he ought to show some self control.

I've seen Pop "try" to get ejected. This wasn't one of those situations.

The game hasn't even been going on long enough for Pop to have gotten under a ref's skin. This is a case that the ref got called out and wanted to be a pussy about it. There is no reason to eject anybody 63 seconds in unless he punches somebody tbh.

Also, Davis lost minutes for maybe a handful of games after his ejection, so saying he was "in the doghouse" is not a valid point.

[r0drig0lac]

gay!!!

[ace3g]

Gay putback dunk!!

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

lol is Pop insecure over players not wanting to come here so he's overreacting getting ejected to prove he isn't a slave owner and has the players back? All bc Kawhi lol

[KDKSpurs24]

I’ll say it again.. Marco can’t hit shots without leaning.. it’s puzzling.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Or is Pop simply panicking bc he has no idea what to do without the big 3 anymore so he's throwing fits

[HarlemHeat37]

lol is Pop insecure over players not wanting to come here so he's overreacting getting ejected to prove he isn't a slave owner and has the players back? All bc Kawhi lol

:lol

For as bad as this game is going it’s oddly close/competitive

Kerr does that shit ALL the time.

And don't even get me started on Draymond or Durant.

Hell, the Warriors literally pointed and laughed at the refs, and no one got a technical, let alone an ejection.

Let the video come out, and come back and tell me if you think Pop really deserved to be tossed. It was several bullshit calls by the officials.

[Joseph Kony]

fucking DePression bricking at the line again :pctoss

As long as the Spurs win the road games against Cleveland and Washington(far from locks, though, knowing how bad this team is on the road), this wouldn't be a terrible loss..they wouldn't beat Denver in a series, but they'd have a much better chance than they would against Harden..

I got the full message, but the "to an extent" is what set me off.

Players and coaches get away with far worse all the time.

I don't give a shit if we are the Warriors or the fucking Suns. The inconsistency of the refs is reaching new levels, and it's fucking ridiculous.

Steve Kerr is a redheaded turd. Are you saying Pop is okay because he does the same thing as a redheaded turd?

[tbdog]

Im late. Where's Pop?

Im late. Where's Pop?

Im late. Where's Pop?

Getting bottle service at the bar. All jokes aside, he probably is.

oh my god :lmao

DePression doing depression things in the 2nd quarter

[Arcadian]

It never "feels good" to be down 10, Sean...

[WallyTiger]

Defrozen so dumb

[spurs1990]

You guys serious popovich was ejected again? He’s never done that in such a short span, twice in three games

[Budkin]

I'm still shocked we made the playoffs.

[Slippy]

Demar can't handle any pressure on him when bringing ball up. Always a TO

Running plays for Bryn Forbes now since spurs down 10

[Jordan Jackson]

If only everyone else cared as much
as Forbes this team wouldn't be circling the drain at the bottom half of the playoff bracket.

[sasaint]

Trading hard 2s for Nuggets' wide open 3s won't get it done. Just like the Spurs to bring a knife to a sword fight.

But we want the Nuggets in the playoffs...

[r0drig0lac]

easy money

[in2deep]

Gay is playing like a gay faggot

[WallyTiger]

another toe to toe game

[Uriel]

I miss the days when the Spurs would easily win by 30 in Denver and Spurs fans were louder than Nuggets fans. How times have changed.

[YoungbuckMurray]

This is just pathetic.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Demar can't handle any pressure on him when bringing ball up. Always a TO

DDR and Forbes both cough the ball up. That may be White's biggest asset - he's surehanded.

[Jay.From.NbTx]

Patty comes in and nuggs go on a run ..... surprising ...
Random scrub that Patty is guarding scores 3 or 4 straight baskets ... Suprising ......

[tbdog]

Y’all still want Denver?:lmao

TBH, we wanted Nuggets when we were on a 9 game win streak, beating Warriors and Bucks. Not since then. We just suck now.

[Slippy]

Too much overpassing. Wtf

[Dennis the Menace]

Mills and Forbes on the court at the same time. Good God

[NASpurs]

:lol the West is so terrible. No way this Nuggets team is as good as their record. Probably why they get their asses waxed by GSW everytime they face them.

Just a bunch of mediocre teams...but yeah disparity and all that.

[KimmyGib]

Patty defending from behind. Nice strategy...

[spurs10]

This is not horribly unexpected and why losing at home to the Kings really hurts.

[Jay.From.NbTx]

Lol Will Barton-Curry out here

[ZeusWillJudge]

Patty comes in and nuggs go on a run ..... surprising ...
Random scrub that Patty is guarding scores 3 or 4 straight baskets ... Suprising ......


Messina's first decision was to yank White and put in Patty. It's a culture thing.

[Slippy]

DDR and Forbes both cough the ball up. That may be White's biggest asset - he's surehanded.

Instead messina goes to Patty. Lol

[YoungbuckMurray]

How do you give up that easy of a 3 like pathetic d

[NASpurs]

"they have a distinct advantage playing in altitude"

stfu Sean and stop spinning this shit :lol

[007nites]

Mills made a layup wow

[$pursDynasty]

Low energy ass Messina is the last coach this lethargic team needs

[Slippy]

Mills made a layup wow

Ya cherry picking. Played some d maybe

[ZeusWillJudge]

LOL. You have to give a shooter room to come down... unless the shooter is Aldridge? They call that shit all the time in the NBA.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Brick after brick after brick

[NASpurs]

Get rid of DeMar and the rest of the coffee gang (except White).

[Dex]

Yeah, we are fucked.

[YoungbuckMurray]

One of the most pathetic shooting performances I’ve ever seen

[TimmyBuckets]

Another first round exit at the hands of the Warriors. This team is trash.

[hater]

Spurs suck. Denver is a soft midget team



And they still blowing us out by 20




Embarrassing.nuggets are a gimmick team.okc will beat them

[ZeusWillJudge]

Yeah, we are fucked.


Sorry about all that earlier, Dex. But all the comments here about players hurting the team by getting themselves ejected. I'm just not giving Pop a pass one minute into a game.

[SuperCam]

Lol spurms.

[Slippy]

What a joke performance. Second quarter was putrid.

[SpurPadre]

And right on cue, White inconsistent as fuck, per par.

[KimmyGib]

Of course I still want Nuggets in the first round. Watching the Spurs lose a series against Denver will be the most enjoyable playoff scenario we can hope for.

[sananspursfan21]

Gee can’t wait for the playoffs :rolleyes

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Since the season is fucked, Pop might as well get ejected every game now from here on out, minute one. I'll settle for that as entertainment.

[in2deep]

Turnuggets will still sweep us sure it would be more competitive

Worriers will sleep thru over us and sweep us while jerking off on court it would be more embarrassing sure. Nuggets would at least have to try but will still sweep us easily

Sperms suck really bad

[Slippy]

Messinas sub patterns not making sense. The players are over passing and then shooting contested jumpshots. Wonder how much of this is his influence and more to do with low iq of the team. Spurs on offense look lost and the d still the same.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Patty on HEB commercial, Nuggets go on a run

[tbdog]

I like Gay, but he does not suit this team anymore.

[Dex]

Sorry about all that earlier, Dex. But all the comments here about players hurting the team by getting themselves ejected. I'm just not giving Pop a pass one minute into a game.

I still don't think he deserved the eject. But it's also probably not worth getting that heated with a ref a minute into the game.

He should have let a missed foul go, and be there to be support your team.

[SpurPadre]

I'd like to convince myself that we already won our game 7 this season with the revenge game against Faggot but then DeRozan pissed all over that by his gift to Faggot the next game at Toronto.

[spurraider21]

Derptans needs to be a factor

[Leetonidas]

I'd like to convince myself that we already won our game 7 this season with the revenge game against Faggot but then DeRozan pissed all over that by his gift to Faggot the next game at Toronto.

At least we swept the Lakers :lol now that is sad

[Jordan Jackson]

Still don't know why the Mills/Forbes backcourt is
still happening. That shit is a crime against humanity.

[ZeusWillJudge]

They just announced - Pop got the quickest ejection by a coach in NBA history. Someone needs to add that to the milestones thread.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Sean - "So far so good with that zone defense".

WTF? Seriously, Sean? We've just left 3P shooters uncovered and they missed the shots.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Why this late in the season are these dumbasses leaving people wide the fuck open at the 3 point line? Why ever? Seriously

[TimDunkem]

How do they keep losing Jokic? :lol

[ZeusWillJudge]

And WTF is Messina doing out ON the damn court while the ball is in play? Is he trying to get out of this shitshow, too?

[Slippy]

Why all I'm seeing now is Demar I so offense and then running back the other way.

This spurs team has already tuned out coach Messina

[SpursBig3s]

Seriously why did we go away from starting Poeltl to starting Gay?? It’s clear as day our defense is at least average with poeltl and White out there on the floor. Gay is perfect as that off the bench focal point and closing in the 4th with the starters

[slick'81]

Told yall nuggs would be pissed

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Seriously why did we go away from starting Poeltl to starting Gay?? It’s clear as day our defense is at least average with poeltl and White out there on the floor. Gay is perfect as that off the bench focal point and closing in the 4th with the starters

[ZeusWillJudge]

Looks like summer league.

[$pursDynasty]

What BS lineup was that ? Destroyed all our momentum great job Messina

[YoungbuckMurray]

Pretty piss poor effort. Play walker

[slick'81]

Pops gotta be tired of this shit show

[Slippy]

Pops gotta be tired of this shit show

Pop should have a different angle watching on tv from the change rooms . I'm hoping he see how Bryn and Patty are clearly shorter than the guys they usually guard.

[Tragedy]

has technology advanced enough for an ejected coach to still covertly coach from the locker room?

[phxspurfan]

Pop already waving the Walker flag?

[Slippy]

Lonny sighting. Show us something

[C-Dub]

Rudy is best suited as the 8th or 9th man. LMA is a 3rd option and DDR could be a 2 option to someone like the Greek from Milwaukee.

[KDKSpurs24]

Patty can’t hit a contested layup for shit!!

[twincam]

Close to my 41-41 overall prediction.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Sit the F down belli

[Capt Bringdown]

Mumblecore with the bucket

[ZeusWillJudge]

Great play by Walker! And just like that, the lead is down to 22.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Offensive foul on that hair

[RC_Drunkford]

Patty can’t hit a contested layup for shit!!

He can't hit an open lay up

[slick'81]

So this is who were playing rnd1?!

[Slippy]

Lonny for the layup. That's the fastest one man break by a spur all season.

[SpurPadre]

Rudy is best suited as the 8th or 9th man. LMA is a 3rd option and DDR could be a 2 option to someone like the Greek from Milwaukee.

A guy who can drop 56 and 48 points in a game isn't a third option. LMA just has shit all around him.

[KDKSpurs24]

So this is who were playing rnd1?!
Fuck no.. were getting Golden State.

[$pursDynasty]

A guy who can drop 56 and 48 points in a game isn't a third option. LMA just has shit all around him.
This^^^^ and for someone to place DePression above LaMonster makes me question the OP's bballiq

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Lmao

[RC_Drunkford]

This team has went from the hottest team in the league to looking like a lottery team in a few weeks. How is that even possible?

[RD2191]

coming from a guy who thinks opening a jar of peanut butter disproves evolution tbh... :wakeup

:wakeup

[GreekSpursfan]

Does it matter who we are playing in r1?
On to next season tbh.

[daslicer]

This team has went from the hottest team in the league to looking like a lottery team in a few weeks. How is that even possible?

This team has been a Jeckyl and Hyde team all year so it's not surprising.

[r0drig0lac]

complete humiliation

[slick'81]

complete humiliation


That'll be rnd1 vs g.st

[Capt Bringdown]

This team has went from the hottest team in the league to looking like a lottery team in a few weeks. How is that even possible?

Mediocre teams rarely achieve consistency.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

I wish Patty was in the HEB retirement commercial

[Capt Bringdown]

That'll be rnd1 vs g.st

Everyone, "Go Spurs Go!" on three. 1, 2, 3 ...

Lack of team spirit by spurstalk hasn't helped matters tonight. Y'all should be ashamed.

A guy who can drop 56 and 48 points in a game isn't a third option. LMA just has shit all around him.
This^^^^ and for someone to place DePression above LaMonster makes me question the OP's bballiq

[$pursDynasty]

Messina shows me nothing can't imagine him ever as a NBA hc

[Grybauskaite]

Im late. Where's Pop?
Got blown-out the building before 1st min ending.

[TDMVPDPOY]

pattys culture....is ruining this team

spurs need to get rid of the last remnant of the big3 era to move forward

[GreekSpursfan]

Everything that is happening is normal. You can't replace HOFers, mvp caliber players and years of continuity with rookies, perennial losers who don't have the word defense in their vocabulary and Austrian bball players and expect results.
It's gonna take time, smart decisions and luck to get back to where we were.

[$pursDynasty]

Lonnie going for team high scorer

Lol Pondexter

Because they know they're getting paid for being disgusting pieces of shit NBA players.

SMH... As Udoka said last night, this team is coasting, and it shows...

[$pursDynasty]

Lonnie makes me anxious for the Summer League, sure Becky will want to coach him

[tim_duncan_fan]

This team lacks an attacking mentality and BBIQ. We are constantly losing guys on defense and it takes a miracle to get the guys to lock in on either side of the ball for more than a 2-min stretch.

There's like 4 games left in the season and Pop had to take a timeout 1 minute into the game because the guys came out lethargic and unfocused.

Our starting 2-guard is a devout Crip. Lol

We just don't have it mentally.


Good news is that Dejounte White Walker should be pretty lit next year.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Just saw the reply on DJ Instagram story of Lonnie going up when he got fouled holy shit did he get up there

[tim_duncan_fan]

Messina shows me nothing can't imagine him ever as a NBA hc

Good because the people want Coach Manu.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

How dare Lonnie score and jump like that. Pop will bench him for good now lol

Not with Mills and Forbes eating up the minutes. Those 2 dudes don’t even belong in the NBA under its current environment

Forbes will be a good Steve Kerr for us if some dumbasses in probably Orlando don't jump up and down to overpay him.

[SpurPadre]

I had the Nuggets by 25 and posted that in this thread. I gave them too much credit, tbh.

[SpurPadre]

TF?! Kerr would outplay him now lol. Forbes at best could be 2013 Gary "I can't guard dudes without shoes" Neal

[slick'81]

85-113

[Dennis the Menace]

I would rather have Stephen Jackson leave the set of Undisputed and put on a Spurs jersey than have Forbes on the active roster

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

This dumbass coach said "they made shots"

[TDomination]

At least Poeltl started lol

Dang so pop got tossed early? I missed the game but man that's actually surprising. Usually it's like a way to show his team that If they aren't going to show up then he won't be there either. But after our 9 game winning streak we have gotten extremely bad.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

They asked him why he was ejected, he said they have to ask the officials that lol

[Larry O]

Lonnie Walker and DMo in the SL.

Well, regarding this, Becky did say this of LW4 in her postgame interview, that his atheticsim definitely stands out which is impressive, but there's expectation that in the Summer League, he will be showcased, and are looking to see him to take the next step up in his development. Sounds like they are high on him, but I hope that he doesn't disappoint.

[Dennis the Menace]

This dumbass coach said "they made shots"

Shouldve said “We allowed them to score”

[slick'81]

Btw jakob poodles production has fallen straight off a cliff

[tim_duncan_fan]

Yall wildin'.

Forbes, like Patty, is asked to do too much due to roster problems and he has done much better than we could have expected or even hoped.

Teach White to shoot more often instead of trying to go 5/6 FGA every game, bring back Dejounte and pray he has developed a serviceable jumper, give Lonnie lots of burn, and hope for the best. Forbes can take the role he should be in: just hit threes when asked to.


One of our real problems is a lack of on-court leadership. We will go into next season, as we did this season, counting on Dejounte to be the emotional center and leader of the team, so that will be interesting. We just know for fact LA and Demar can't lead.

[BackHome]

Well Walker is legit so there goes Forbes minutes next year.

Poindexter and Cunningham are gone next year maybe one picks up a clip board on Spurs staff

Like Poodle but I am still bringing over Nikola this summer.

Always liked Bert do not think Pop is using him right could see Poop and RC adding him in a draft day trade with Boston.

DEROZZ just doesn’t fit with this team have no problems trading him for the right player.

[Mugen]

My guys....do what I did last year and bet heavily against the Spurs, give the points tbh. I made a damn good amount betting against them in the playoffs.

They'll be locked into the 8th seed after losing to the Wiz on Friday (pretty sure it will be at WAS instead of CLE but they'll lose one of those for sure)...

Lines should open up around GSW -7.5 in Game 1 and that is easy fucking money. The only game I think the Spurs would cover would be Game 3 at home...

This is a team that has quit outright on their coach and has no desire/business being in the playoffs.

[Arcadian]

Back to 8th. Can't see us moving back up to 7th at this point. OKC isn't going to keep losing. They already had their cold streak. We missed our chance.

[ZeusWillJudge]

You know it really doesn't make any difference, right? Other than the fact that we just don't want to lose to GSW - again.

Getting those to home playoff games contributes a chunk to the Spurs' bottom line for the year. Dropping to 8th means one better draft pick. And tonight's disaster had to have convinced you that there's no way they would have won a series against Denver anyway.

[Degoat]

It was a small glimpse but if Lonnie puts the work in, he really could be a solid player for us :flag:

[spurs10]

Back to 8th. Can't see us moving back up to 7th at this point. OKC isn't going to keep losing. They already had their cold streak. We missed our chance. Sounds about right...sad , but true. When we dropped the Kings game I figured '8the seed here we come.' If OKC loses to Houston and we win out......maybe 7th, but I doubt we win out.

Yes, I was just stating the facts. I respect and enjoy watching Denver more than Golden Showers, so I would've preferred a series with them.

[objective]

You guys thinking that Walker is going to get some major minutes next season are in for some bad times.

White wasn't going to get more than 15 minutes a game this year without the Murray injury despite deserving twice that.

Forbes and Mills are made men.

Pop would rather campaign for Trump than bench Mills. And Forbes isn't far behind. Add in DeRozan and trash defense Marco and of course a healthy Murray ... And Walker will be back to getting over himself in the g-league. He'll still be 21 in 20/21 after Forbes and Marco's deals are up, and if he's lucky, they won't be getting new 4/50 culture deals like Mills.

The only hopes are some dumb team making a dumb offer for an expiring Forbes ... Or just hoping for injuries up and down the guards like Mills, Forbes and Marco. But those guys are basically iron men.

Lonnie looks like he’s getting comfortable hitting the 3’s. I’d be happy if he takes Forbes’ minutes. The guy is just liability on defense, compounded more when playing with Mills/Belli.

No doubt he should - at the very least - move ahead of Forbes. That's not going to happen though. Pop will play them together if he has to.

After all, ":pop: it wouldn't be fair :pop:" to Bryn would it?
