Game Thread: PLAYOFFS. Rnd 1, Game 4: Spurs vs Nuggets — 4:30/C (12:30am Riga Time)

[TheGreatYacht]

2nd chance points cost us the game

And1 after Forbes fumbled the rebound
3ptr after Aldridge avoided White's save
Jokic 3pt foul

[Ron Swanson]

Giving up that offensive board was flat out embarrassing.

[BlackAndWhite]

What can we do to adjust?

[Holden_Caulfield]

lol here comes gay. dont be a scrub pls

[Spurtacular]

WTF Jokic stepped inside the three line.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Dumb foul by Poeltl. If Rudy can't hit shots we're screwed.

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs shooters have been MIA this series

[sasaint]

Shocked that didn't fall.

[8sy21vd]

There you go, Derrick. No do that a million more times lol. Keep bringing the energy

[sook]

Wtf is SA doing

[ZeusWillJudge]

White just keeps torching Jokic. More of that please.

[Ron Swanson]

White threaded the needle there.

[FkLA]

White needs to take over. Doughkic is such a horrible defender.

[808]

Derrick doing everything he can to carry these scrubs

[tonight...you]

Well now I'm really interested...
Dammit Chicken Strips!
Focus!!! There's a hot-damn game!

[spursparker9]

White got to do that more

[Uriel]

Is Chris Webber a Nuggets fan?

[GreekSpursfan]

Can White do it again? He's gonna get in my top 5 favorite players of all time if he does.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Jokic has to be getting tired he’s already played 28 minutes

[Stabula]

Jesus and Lucifer are the same character

[Splits]

Well now I'm really interested...

:lmao muh nig






















back off, she's mine

[Dverde]

This is an entertaining series. I’m saddened to think the Patty/Marco/Rudy combo is coming back in

[TheGreatYacht]

Dammit Chicken Strips!
Focus!!! There's a hot-damn game!
Your sister a legal citizen? Asking for a friend TBH

[ZeusWillJudge]

lol here comes gay. dont be a scrub pls


This is exactly the spot where the tough old vet is supposed to dig deep and make it happen.

[sasaint]

Just simply out hustling us. They want it more

They are also shooting better since the first quarter.

[Larry O]

Tha Swag Shagg with the cajones!!!

[ZeusWillJudge]

Is Chris Webber a Nuggets fan?


It was disgusting. Fortunately SASaint told me it was on another network, and that wasn't my only option.

[Capt Bringdown]

Patty Mills "Magician" HEB ads...
His biggest trick of all - how to make 50 Million disappear and fuck-all basketball to show for it.

[tonight...you]

Your sister a legal citizen? Asking for a friend TBH
Wasn't the girl in the gif white?
Ask your friend how much they trust that.

[sasaint]

White threaded the needle there.

That's the only similarity I see between him and Tony. They have that uncanny ability in among the tall trees.

[NameLess Scrub]

Pop coaching like it's the 90s. Give up the 3 to defend the 2. Pass up the three to score the 2.


These fuckers suddenly can't miss from downtown

Smh, they're taking practice shots. They're not as bad as to miss those consistently.

[tonight...you]

Patty Mills "Magician" HEB ads...
His biggest trick of all - how to make 50 Million disappear with fuck-all basketball to show for it.
Lol!
One of my least favorite HEB ads, although I truly miss shopping at an HEB...

[Ron Swanson]

That's the only similarity I see between him and Tony. They have that uncanny ability in among the tall trees.

:tu

[ZeusWillJudge]

Fucking Jokic sets a moving screen on Aldridge AND White back to back.

[Stabula]

Jehovah was always the real devil

[sasaint]

OH no, Murray over White's good D.

[DAF86]

If we don't get a lead before the Patty/Beli lineup comes on, we're fucked.

[r0drig0lac]

well...

[Holden_Caulfield]

these faggots keeps hitting 3s at the buzzer

[tholdren]

Gay sucks

[jjktkk]

Are the Nuggets going to miss a shot tonight?

[Chomag]

Spurs are losing this if they don't stop fucking around

[Kurgan]

scrub murray with all the confidence in the world now

[spurstalk123456]

fuck.....we're not doing ANYTHING

[GreekSpursfan]

Our defense is all over the place. This thing is getting out of hand

[sook]

Alright not buying the whole “but we’re a 7th seed” you guys have the talent just choking. Disappointed tbh

[ZeusWillJudge]

If a Spur doesn't step up pretty damn soon, we're cooked.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Terrible defense and Rudy gay needs to step up

[808]

Gay is so useless

[TheGreatYacht]

Praying for Rudy's Achilles to pop....

[tholdren]

Our defense is all over the place. This thing is getting out of hand

Its gay. Hes awful

[FkLA]

I hate this cocky scrub Murray.

[Holden_Caulfield]

bench gay hes fucking useless

[sasaint]

Spurs are losing this if they don't stop fucking around

Spurs aren't fucking around, they are being banged.

[tonight...you]

Soft jump shooting.
No forcing the issue.

That's what you get when you grab a LMA and DD to play for you.

White's the hardnose MF'er.

[TheAmateon]

And now they’re all blazing hot, while our main guys just settle for those midrange jumpers. Smh

[ZeusWillJudge]

If we don't get a lead before the Patty/Beli lineup comes on, we're fucked.


Too late.

[Mikeanaro]

Why are Spurs forcing shots?

[boutons_deux]

nuggs winning it with 3Gs, 12/23

[TheGreatYacht]

White subbed out at the 4 minute mark, won't come back in till the 7min mark :lmao as per par

[DAF86]

Ok, we're fucked. :lol

[SpurPadre]

Alright not buying the whole “but we’re a 7th seed” you guys have the talent just choking. Disappointed tbh

Our lack of a competent bench is being exposed in this series, tbh.

[Uriel]

Nothing infuriates me more when a team plays good defense for 23 seconds and then the opponent buries a desperation 3 at the last second.

[212094ever]

Don't bail out Jokic on D with post-ups

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

I hate this cocky scrub Murray.

[Kurgan]

Gay is horrible

[GreekSpursfan]

Take Gay out ffs

[Holden_Caulfield]

lol this lineup. well be down by 20 by the end of the 3rd

[tholdren]

Lol gay

[emanueldavidginobili]

Lmaooo beli and Mills in this should help. While Murray is still on the court

[Amuseddaysleeper]

That’s the series. We are terrible at outside shooting

[Ron Swanson]

Holy shit, Rudy

[FkLA]

We're really struggling. Great time to bring in this shit line-up.

[boutons_deux]

-12 in 2nd

-10 in 3rd, so far

[808]

GAY CANNOT HOLD ONTO A FUCKIN BALL

[spurstalk123456]

rudy gay what the fuck

[KDKSpurs24]

Rudy Gay is so fucking loose with the ball.. soft

[8sy21vd]

Man Gay looks like he's 50

[tholdren]

Nothing infuriates me more when a team plays good defense for 23 seconds and then the opponent buries a desperation 3 at the last second.

And then the shooter thinks its skill. Nba is so terrible

[Leetonidas]

Jesus christ fuck Rudy Gay. Dude is garbage out there

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs have been dramatically outplayed since the 1st quarter.

I'd be shocked if the Spurs win this one.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Gay looks like he's sleepwalking out there. Disgusting

[RD2191]

Idgaf what anyone says, I fucking hate LMA and DD. Especially LMA. They're both soft ass choking faggots. I'm considering boycotting the spurs until both of these bums are off the team.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Rudy’s body is failing him right now

[SpurPadre]

If we don't cut it to 4-5 by the end of the quarter, it's over, tbh.

[Kurgan]

Ok, we're fucked. :lol

Yeah. That first terrible bench lineup gave them all the confidence in the world when we were supposed to step on their throat.

[DAF86]

Watch this shit baloon to over 20 pts by the time the 4th quarter comes around.

[BlackAndWhite]

Rudy needs to retire

[ZeusWillJudge]

LMAO! Second foul on Jokic in this game. I guess the whining worked.

[FkLA]

LMA is playing like a bitch too. Has been all series. All that running the floor, establishing position early on all year only to revert back to his soft BS in the playoffs.

[tholdren]

Rudy’s body is failing him right now

Not really. Hes settling for jumpers and zero aggression. Has nothing to do with body. Hes just a dumb player who is soft

[GreekSpursfan]

Put anyone in, take Gay out dammit, he's fucking us on both ends

[Capt Bringdown]

Let's see if the Spurs can come back from a double digit deficit as easily as Denver can.
I doubt it.

[SpurPadre]

MAKE. A. FUCKING. STOP.

[Kurgan]

If we don't cut it to 4-5 by the end of the quarter, it's over, tbh.

It's over regardless. Have the Spurs won any game this year going into the 4th with a deficit?

[Leetonidas]

Fucking pathetic

[emanueldavidginobili]

Desperately need three point shooters on this team that actually can stay in front of their man on defense

[FkLA]

Pop is such a stupid fuck for putting this line-up in too. Fucking idiot.

[RC_Drunkford]

How about to start shooting some 3s?

[PoppaP]

We need a spark how about Lonnie walker might as well

[Stabula]

That’s the series. We are terrible at outside shooting

You're the whiniest most cliff-jumping beta bitch I've ever seen on these boards.

[Ron Swanson]

If we don't cut it to 4-5 by the end of the quarter, it's over, tbh.

I don't think we can pull that off.

[Spurtacular]

This reffing is obviously tilted. Fuck Mike Malone for thinking he's anybody to beg for calls to get back into a series. Fucking scrub coach.

[sook]

Our lack of a competent bench is being exposed in this series, tbh.

I’d say it’s too much of a reliance on gay aldridgr midrange clunks. The offense is having way too much trouble

[YoungbuckMurray]

Need more from our bench

[tonight...you]

Idgaf what anyone says, I fucking hate LMA and DD. Especially LMA. They're both soft ass choking faggots. I'm considering boycotting the spurs until both of these bums are off the team.
I agree with the soft stuff.

Like... damn. You guys want to go down like this?

[RD2191]

I hate this cocky scrub Murray.

I hate the spurs more tbh. Allowing his scrub ass to flex on us. Embarrassing tbh

[TheAmateon]

Never thought I’d be asking that question, but... Is it so hard to hit a jumpshot? Because I look at our team and start to think it must be hard AF.

[GreekSpursfan]

GAY did something positive, thats a first

[Larry O]

Yup, the momentum has shifted to the McNuggets, way, SMH... Could be going back tied at 2 a piece, unless this team can manage to get back into this game and win. Somebody other than White needs to step up. GSG!!!

[Holden_Caulfield]

someone force a fucking TO wtf

[sook]

Alright I’m out this is way too frustrating. Just get mills to chuck if anything

[YoungbuckMurray]

Beli sucking up the court again shocker

[8sy21vd]

The bench has been flat out awful

[808]

Put Lonnie in FFS

[NameLess Scrub]

The way this team teases on winning the series......

[TheGreatYacht]

If Marco was a black American he'd never see San Antonio again

[spurstalk123456]

it's over.

[Leetonidas]

DMo sighting

[FkLA]

Pop salivating at the thought of throwing in the towel.

[RC_Drunkford]

Pop still thinks he has to roll out a Mills/Belinelli back court and doesn't stagger White/DeRozan. This idiot never adjusts

[Chomag]

Spurs losing what does Pop do? Run out the same line up that got them in this mess

[Jay.From.NbTx]

Lol our bench no shows for 4 straight games

[TheAmateon]

GAY did something positive, thats a first

HIV-positive, I guess.

[tonight...you]

If Marco was a black American he'd never see San Antonio again
Dizamn...

[212094ever]

Seriously?

[Stabula]

This will be a 7 game series

[DAF86]

Donatas. :lmao Pop with the "we already lost this game" substitution. :lmao

[FkLA]

Even the fucking clock guy choking.

[GreekSpursfan]

I don't see a way back. They are occasionally shooting threes and we only go for twos. This looks to be over.

[$pursDynasty]

This lineup feels like waving the white flag, wtf is Pop doing

[spurstalk123456]

such horrendous defense

[r0drig0lac]

it'all about Pop

[sananspursfan21]

Wow. This game sucks

[TheGreatYacht]

Marv Albert is even more senile than crater face

[Holden_Caulfield]

should i even watch the 4th quarter tbh. getting outscored by 12 in consecutive quarters at home :lol

[Kurgan]

Yup, the momentum has shifted to the McNuggets, way, SMH... Could be going back tied at 2 a piece, unless this team can manage to get back into this game and win. Somebody other than White needs to step up. GSG!!!

We're not winning this. Spurs teams of the past were able to come back from double digits in the 4th. Derozan and LMA crumble under the pressure

[emanueldavidginobili]

No shit I rather have Lonnie in there than Mills or Marco

[ZeusWillJudge]

Get Belli out of there and put LWIV in. Green light D-Mo. I'd rather go down swinging than this shit.

[RC_Drunkford]

It's definitely smart to play an all bench line up when you're down 12 in the 3rd quarter of a playoff game. I mean why sub in starters to possibly make a run?

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Where's the 3 shooting? Poop is dropping the ball here

[GreekSpursfan]

Hack a plumlee pls

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs can't hold a lead against Denver. That means Denver might be the better team.
Spurs bench is a disaster.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Can't win without 3s in today's NBA.

[Leetonidas]

Fucking trash team choking at the line

[SpurPadre]

The least Mills can do is make his fucking free throws...

[FkLA]

Pop still thinks he has to roll out a Mills/Belinelli back court and doesn't stagger White/DeRozan. This idiot never adjusts

"I have my iso line-up with LMA, DD, and Rudy. Then I have my change of pace line-up with Patty and Belli. I love my versatility." :cry

[timtonymanu]

Pathetic effort with Manu watching in the arena

[sasaint]

Put Lonnie in FFS

He will see a lot of time in the 4th.

[sananspursfan21]

I remember our 12 point lead.... barely

[emanueldavidginobili]

making 3 threes in a game is not going to get you the win in 2019

[Holden_Caulfield]

91 pts after 3 thats pathetic

[RD2191]

:lcross

[DAF86]

The Mills/Belinelli lineup can't stop anybody. Who would have thought it?

[Kurgan]

Donatas. :lmao Pop with the "we already lost this game" substitution. :lmao

How many coaches give up when their team is only down 12 in the 3rd? Only Pop

[212094ever]

This might be the worst defensive lineup of all time

[timtonymanu]

That ugly ass Murray on fire this game. Nuggets are unbeatable this series when he's on. Spurs lose this game and it's a 7 game series like I originally predicted.

[boutons_deux]

that's game, Spurs got nothing, can't score, can't stop

[bklynspursfan]

Need to finish the way we started. Otherwise we're done

[Leetonidas]

Can't believe the entire bench is shitting the bed so badly. Just need one of two of these guys to step up. Fucking bums

[TheGreatYacht]

Wonder if White and DeRozan will be in rhythm after being on the bench for 30 fucking minutes

[Chomag]

Lol @ Pops 3rd q white flag, fuck this guy

[sasaint]

making 3 threes in a game is not going to get you the win in 2019


91 pts after 3 thats pathetic

[sananspursfan21]

Good defense in the last play. Cmon boys, sludge your way through this and you got 3-1

[ZeusWillJudge]

I remember our 12 point lead.... barely


It's sharing a bottle of wine with Pop and our two 16 point leads from Game 2.

[GreekSpursfan]

"I have my iso line-up with LMA, DD, and Rudy. Then I have my change of pace line-up with Patty and Belli. I love my versatility." :cry

Our starters fucked up the game in this quarter, lets not forget that.

[Capt Bringdown]

2nd period - outscored by 12
3rd period - outscored by 12

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Rudy Gay is just horrendous. Negative impact player

[RD2191]

Should be no surprise with 2 chokers leading us. Rookies flexing on our "all star" veterans. :lol fuck them tbh

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

We can all thank Pop for his 2nd quarter series changing bs.

Grade. F------

[Dverde]

Denver has never had to hold onto a lead. I hope we push them, maybe they’ll fold.

[Spurtacular]

12 point comeback doable. But Spurs not showing signs of life and no fucking defense.

[boutons_deux]

That ugly ass Murray on fire this game. Nuggets are unbeatable this series when he's on. Spurs lose this game and it's a 7 game series like I originally predicted.

probably in 6, Spurs got nothing

[RC_Drunkford]

Derrick White with a team high -13 doesn't help. This team needs to somehow get stops

[SpurPadre]

I don't know if any other franchise constantly blows big early leads like ours. It's not just this year. Several Spurs teams have had a penchant to blowing big leads and I know that's shit that happens around the league each year but I don't know if it happens nearly as often as it happens to us. And not only do we blow big leads, it ends up flipping to where we get blown the fuck out in that same game we had complete control over.

[smaka]

Lmao Jeff "let someone else have a chance at title" McDonald says on Twitter that it's pretty clear Spurs re-sign Gay.

[tonight...you]

Can't believe the entire bench is shitting the bed so badly. Just need one of two of these guys to step up. Fucking bums
1st: it's like brain surgery to reply to someone on this site during a game thread.
Seriously?
2nd: Now watch Pop give this bench a full 4 minutes before subbing in the 4th.

This game is apparently a throwaway to him.

Maybe all games...

[spurs10]

That quarter was a massacre. Let's hope all that scoring wears them out!

[CitizenDwayne]

Spurs by 1. Gary Harris misses potential game winner

[FkLA]

Our starters fucked up the game in this quarter, lets not forget that.

Sure they did. But that idiot's solution is to trot out the line-up that has been destroyed every single time they've been out there? Atleast with the starters there's hope that they can make a run to get back in it.

[Ron Swanson]

Get Manu and Fabi in there.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Another coulda shoulda woulda Pop playoff decision WITH AN ATHLETE ON THE BENCH THAT COULD NOT POSSIBLY DO ANY WORSE

[jjktkk]

Manu and Fabricio need to suit up for the 4th.

[RC_Drunkford]

12 point comeback doable. But Spurs not showing signs of life and no fucking defense.

Creating and knocking down some open shots from 3 would be helpful

[Chomag]

LMAO @ the line up to start the 4th Pop is pathetic

[Strategic]

Put a little pressure on these boys to start the 4th, see how they respond

[Leetonidas]

Fucking rebounding is a joke

[spursparker9]

Pop said Spurs about playing soft

[Capt Bringdown]

Denver has proven that they can win must-win games in this series.

[313]

lmao mills getting shit on and pop letting it happening

where have i seen this before

[YoungbuckMurray]

Beli shouldn’t be playing. Doesn’t try on D then takes a horrible shot. GTFO

[davi78239]

Denver in 7. Yes I said it

[NameLess Scrub]

That ugly ass Murray on fire this game. Nuggets are unbeatable this series when he's on. Spurs lose this game and it's a 7 game series like I originally predicted.


6 games. This team doesn't want it enough

[tonight...you]

LMAO @ the line up to start the 4th Pop is pathetic
Like I said.

And this server completely blows.

Cheap ass owners...

[808]

Pop complains about the defense but continues playing Beli

[8sy21vd]

scrubby mills

[cjw]

Craig can’t miss

[Shakril]

Bench is killing the spurs.

[Chomag]

1st: it's like brain surgery to reply to someone on this site during a game thread.
Seriously?
2nd: Now watch Pop give this bench a full 4 minutes before subbing in the 4th.

This game is apparently a throwaway to him.

Maybe all games...

Yep lol

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Sure would be nice if this team could make a goddamn pair of free throws

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Soft Pop called players soft lol

[Truth4sale$]

Open up the bench. There is no energy. Shame, to have no effort at home.

[FkLA]

How about bringing in your big horses to atleast give yourself a chance you pompous asshole? You can give your pet wombat plenty of garbage minutes if it doesn't work out.

[BatManu20]

Lol Patty

[KDKSpurs24]

Mills size prevents him from hitting easy layups... ugh

[Capt Bringdown]

Ball game

[Spurtacular]

That's a 5 point swing on Mills. Fucking scrub.

[Leetonidas]

God dammit fuck mills. Worthless piece of shit

[smaka]

When a scrub named Torrey Craig scores 15 on you, you better just turn the lights off and end the game.

[RC_Drunkford]

50 million for a player who can't make a lay up

[tonight...you]

Pop pulling the Phil Jackson- "You figure it out assholes" method.

[TheGreatYacht]

Reminder: White has been sitting since the 4 minute mark

[SpurPadre]

I didn't know Craig is Michael Jordan.

[Jay.From.NbTx]

Literally the only thing Craig can do is shoot threes and these dumbasses keep leaving him wide open

[bklynspursfan]

Fucking fuck.

[bklynspursfan]

Fucking fuck.

[GigaloGino]

I hate this. 20 years plus of watching Pop, I can tell when he is giving up. He gave up 3 minutes left in the 3rd. I guess he sees that we are cold and they are hot, no point. Not one starter in in the 4th?! White towel!

[KDKSpurs24]

Pop out our closing lineup in now!! Wtf

[RD2191]

It's the playoffs. Play your 5 best fucking players and let the chips fall where they may. This is where a coach like thibs would come in handy.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Beli shouldn’t be playing. Doesn’t try on D then takes a horrible shot. GTFO

[timtonymanu]

Welp Nuggets just caught fire today. They clearly wanted this more. 7 game series but either team is losing to Portland next round anyway.

[Ron Swanson]

Spurs going the wrong direction.

[Leetonidas]

Yeah this shit is over. Getting raped from 3. But hey let's keep posting up

[ZeusWillJudge]

Fuck this. I can't watch any more. I hope you guys are laughing at me later for missing the comeback of a lifetime. But I don't think so.

[r0drig0lac]

another three...

[Raven]

speachless

[spurstalk123456]

they are CONSTANTLY scoring

[spursparker9]

Game!

14 3s made

[boutons_deux]

has Pop quit, leaving the b team in?

[FkLA]

WTF is this fucking idiot waiting for?

[szkorhetz]

Pathetic D

[212094ever]

Man, getting blown out at home by the weakest 2 seed ever

[tonight...you]

Lol... I said they keep this shit for a full 4 minutes...
Look what happened.

Couldn't take it for 3.

Good job coach.

[SpurPadre]

I must be imagining things. I see the Spurs logo on half court but then I see the score and know that we couldn't possibly be playing at San Antonio. We're in Denver, right?

[808]

Can't wait to get a White Walker Murray backcourt. So fuckin sick of this piece of shit defense

[RC_Drunkford]

Pop's line ups out here extending the lead for the Nuggets. 3 is more than 2 Pop. Shooting 3s is the only way to get back in this

[$pursDynasty]

The bench is trying but they are trash, play your best 5 players get this win and he'll sit them the next game this game too important for Pop's stubborn bs

[8sy21vd]

Getting out of hand. No energy since the first but give Denver credit; they hit their shots. Would like to see LW4 and Derrick on the floor together now

[sook]

Pathetic. Bye

[Chomag]

LMAO I'm so happy I'm on my 4th crown and Coke right now , or else I would be so angry right now

[jjktkk]

Denver can't miss!!!:bang

[concernedcad]

Derozan is the same player he was for the raptors. The general apathy towards defense is pathetic.

[Uriel]

The Nuggets, a 33% 3-point shooting team, is hitting over 50% from 3.

[Dverde]

Spurs gotta hang around 10 points. If the Nuggets choke this game away, the series is over.

[blah28]

Keeps playing the lineup that can't get a stop. Smart move.

[sasaint]

Bench is killing the spurs.

Nah. I really can't think of a single Spur, starter or sub, that played well.

[GreekSpursfan]

They shoot threes we can't, it's over. When your best shooter(Davis) has lost all confidence in his shot you have no chance, zero. This series seems over. Pop needs to retire and we need to tank next season. Its the only way to become really legit again.

[szkorhetz]

Pathetic D.

[SpurPadre]

This team determinedly stood pat at the deadline when it was fucking obvious we needed more fucking depth.

[8sy21vd]

Think this would be Denver's first win in San Antonio since 2012 lol
