Well if DeRozan gets suspended...

[Kori Ellis]

It's probably a plus. :madrun

[Play Boban]

Truth bomb

[noles1983]

This abortion of a season ends in 2 more games.

[Mugen]

Why? So Beli and Patty can play 30+ minutes?

[Immortal Spur]

Lonnie... I was so embarrassed by him getting ejected like that. It is so unlike culture.

[FkLA]

Not really. White, Poetl, and DD have probably been the best Spurs players this series.

[HarlemHeat37]

In other scenarios, sure, but not with the alternative options on this roster:lol

[spurs1990]

Belinelli and Gay were utter no-shows

[sasaint]

IF Dumbmar gets suspended, will Lonnie get a few real minutes?

And if the Spurs look good without Dumbmar, will that, coupled with his tantrums, influence Pop to move him in the offseason?

[sananspursfan21]

Go Lonnie go!

[ducks]

Lol
Some hate him because he came here cause Leonard went out
He played well in first quarter
Had assist and attacked
But let’s blame him instead of the fucking lineup with pop
Dang he must have read the hole 438 pages of mueller report and not cared about the game today

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Insert Lonnie. Don't play Marco. Hope gay plays like he isn't on shrooms

[sananspursfan21]

Not really. White, Poetl, and DD have probably been the best Spurs players this series.

On a serious note, this. When he’s not being a crybaby, he’s been excellent

[DPG21920]

It's probably a plus. :madrun

Not you too. DeRozan has been fine. He’s not Lebron but he’s been better than people make him out to be.

[808]

What's the point of having Patty if his team culture doesn't carry over to his teammates?

[DAF86]

Not you too. DeRozan has been fine. He’s not Lebron but he’s been better than people make him out to be.

Clear sarcasm is clear, tbh.

[ducks]

Spurs bench has sucked all series
Unreal
They sucked 2 games at home

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs have little chance without him playing well. I'm not a fan, but he isn't the problem in this series.

[siraulo23]

Lonnie Walker babyyy but its not gonna happen :lol

[CitizenDwayne]

No.

[FkLA]

:lol at people thinking his minutes would go to Lonnie

Wombat would get minutes bumped up to 35, Belly probably 25.

[DarrinS]

Is there really talk about suspending him?

[DAF86]

Also, DeRozan is such an emotional lesbian. He should seriously try to work on not losing his shit so easily and so often.

[sook]

Scott foster had it coming

[TheGreatYacht]

Wish he hit Pop with that fastball tbh

[ducks]

This is why game 2 was so fucking stupid of liberal pop with his bad lineup cost spurs the w

[hater]

Why would deroza get suspended???


What a stupid thread

[Robz4000]

Is there really talk about suspending him?

I'd be surprised if he wasn't the way the NBA has been covering for their awful officials.

[Kori Ellis]

Lol
Some hate him because he came here cause Leonard went out
...

I don't hate him, and that has nothing to do with it. But you can't be so mentally weak that you rip up your own jersey in one game, and get ejected like that in another.

And obviously the alternatives to DD aren't good, but he's mentally pathetic.

[GreekSpursfan]

Mental midget. He needs someone else to bail him out and get him going. Don't expect to win much with him being your highest paid player. On top of that he's a mediocre at best defender.

[hater]

Lol
Some hate him because he came here cause Leonard went out
He played well in first quarter
Had assist and attacked
But let’s blame him instead of the fucking lineup with pop

Yeah what a stupid thread

:lmao

[hater]

Even if he does get suspended.

Thinking that spurs would be better off without him is so dumb :lol

[cd021]

Is there really talk about suspending him?
He threw the ball towards a ref's head, kinda surprised if he doesn't get suspended.

[Spurs Brazil]

Never see a player on our team doing that. Pathetic.

[GreekSpursfan]

Never see a player on our team doing that. Pathetic.

[r0drig0lac]

Lonnie starter please

[cd021]

Wouldn't be surprised if Pop nominally starts Walker and plays him the first 6 minutes of each half. More Beli, that could be a disaster or he could hit 4 3's, no inbetween.

[Mugen]

Derozan almost offed himself in a fast food parking lot after being traded, why would anybody be surprised that he's mentally soft

[Kurgan]

He's a statpad player. Only plays well when his team has a comfortable lead. He mentally collapses in close games and just checks out entirely when he's expected to lead a comeback. Loser player from a loser franchise.

[cd021]

Never see a player on our team doing that. Pathetic.
Surprised it hasn't happened earlier, he's been close to doing this before.

[Mugen]

:lol People asking for Lonnie...Pop wouldn't even give him a chance during the regular season...this story has been written several times before by the old man when he was actually a good coach....

Now that he's a shell of himself, why would anybody expect something better? It's too little, too late anyways...

[Mugen]

Pop actually went with DMo instead of LMA in the 4th, thats all you need to know about his mental capacity for the rest of the series....

really hoping these are the last 2 games of his career. Hang 'em up, old man.

In the end, you turned out to be the selfish one who couldn't get over himself, just be thankful you got carried by Timmy, Manu and Kawhi.

[hater]

Lonnie starter please

We don't even smell a game 6 if that hapoens

[apalisoc_9]

Demar was decent today. He really needed to play 40+ mins to relegate ops favourite players in Belli and Mills.

[RD2191]

I don't hate him, and that has nothing to do with it. But you can't be so mentally weak that you rip up your own jersey in one game, and get ejected like that in another.

And obviously the alternatives to DD aren't good, but he's mentally pathetic.

Well tbh at least he shows something. Especially after that garbage by Malone.

[hater]

We did not lose because of derozan

We lost cause our D was pathetic and our bench save mills was pulverized

[RD2191]

I'm actually proud of DD, at least he showed something.

[tonight...you]

It's probably a plus. :madrunPl
Play the damn starters like it's actually the playoffs.
Not like it's game 62 of the season and give White the ball for 40 minutes.

I am a huge Pop lover, but hot damn. Let's start taking things seriously.

[hater]

If gay gets suspended that would actually help us

[Mugen]

I wouldn't be surprised if both Kori and timvp both want to see Patty play 40+ minutes :lol

He's probably a great guy off the court.....

[tonight...you]

I'm actually proud of DD, at least he showed something.
True... but his giving up a drive to take a shot from 20 on three, or four straight possessions is...
Fuck it. I'm putting my earphones on and working til my wife gets home.

[JeffDuncan]

I hope DDR gets suspended, yes. It'd be refreshing just to have something different to watch. Maybe not better, but at least different. The DDR Show has gotten tedious.

[Kori Ellis]

I didn't say DD is why they lost. I said they'd probably be better off in Game 5 without him. He's coming mentally unglued as the series goes on.

And yes, Pop's substitutions (along with the D) were horrible. I fully expect now that they'll lose the series in 6, but hope I'm wrong.

[Kori Ellis]

I wouldn't be surprised if both Kori and timvp both want to see Patty play 40+ minutes :lol

The alternative is playing Patty and Beli more minutes. The Spurs would have a better shot of winning the game if their plane just crashed into the arena tbh.


Me? He's my least favorite Spur.

Props then tbh.

[GreekSpursfan]

Gay can't even do that right.

This is beyond silly. SA would in no way, shape or form be better off without DeRozan in game 5. Even though he is mentally weak when it comes to the refs and needs to improve, the team would be in serious trouble without him.

You must have never seen a Toronto raptors playoff game

That's ddrozan always been a mental midget

But he still put in 20 pts any given playoff game

That's why we need him

We have Noone else to pick up that pointage

Without him we get blown out by Denver by 30

We need derozan but nobody said he is any kind of leader. He's a follower

[jermaine]

Lonnie... I was so embarrassed by him getting ejected like that. It is so unlike culture.

I swear I told my wife the same exact thing.

[Dancelot]

Hope gay plays like he isn't on shrooms
This is a pretty funny mental image.

[Immortal Spur]

I swear I told my wife the same exact thing.
It’s seriously where I draw the line man. I’ll root for him but I hope he gets moved. We don’t need that around here. He’s a grown man. 100

[KimmyGib]

Any scenario that sees Belinelli getting more minutes is a bad one. Spurs cannot win this series when he's getting significant playing time. DeRozan ain't the problem.

[BackHome]

DEROZZ is good just don’t let him bring up the ball in the last 10 minutes of game ducking Pop idiot keeps letting him try hero ball shit.

[gambit1990]

move demar this summer. spurs should’ve never traded for him.

[DPG21920]

Spurs were nearly a 50-win team with no Murray - Spurs adding Lonnie/Murray and hopefully a free agent that rounds out the roster and SA is going to be very good with DeRozan.

[JeffDuncan]

Spurs were nearly a 50-win team with no Murray - Spurs adding Lonnie/Murray and hopefully a free agent that rounds out the roster and SA is going to be very good with DeRozan.

Or without him.

[BillMc]

I agree with this.

I'm mad and embarrassed at what he did though.

[jermaine]

Let's not forget about Lma being garbage too... where's that fadeaway jumper!?! Pop scared to let Davis play the 4 all of a sudden...An this dude Rudy Gay. I dont even gotta say anything about him.

[tonight...you]

Me? He's my least favorite Spur.
I like his hair...
Much better than last year.

[Mugen]

Spurs were nearly a 50-win team with no Murray - Spurs adding Lonnie/Murray and hopefully a free agent that rounds out the roster and SA is going to be very good with DeRozan.

Deeps, what about Patty and Bryn?

Those guys have earned their minutes, amazing culture guys. Lonnie, with his hair, doesn't seem like he's long for Pop/Spurs..

I don't give a shit about the athleticism and superior skills, you don't bench culture. Plain and simple.

[tonight...you]

Let's not forget about Lma being garbage too... where's that fadeaway jumper!?! Pop scared to let Davis play the 4 all of a sudden...An this dude Rudy Gay. I dont even gotta say anything about him.
LMA has decided to go full bitch this series.
Zero hard moves in the post.

All crap from his comfort points. No forcing the action.
Demar too.

Only White forces the action.

Lol. You dont need to preach to me about Mills/Beli - I have blasted them for a while. Bryn is fine and is a good player. Just dont need Mills/Beli on the same roster. I would prefer rudy gone as well even though he’s been a very good Spur.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Lol
Some hate him because he came here cause Leonard went out
He played well in first quarter
Had assist and attacked
But let’s blame him instead of the fucking lineup with pop
Dang he must have read the hole 438 pages of mueller report and not cared about the game today

Ducks is right.

[jermaine]

Rudy is to slow to get past a of an to weak to guard one. It's time to go home for him.

[jermaine]

Rudy is to slow to get past a PF an to weak to guard one. It's time to go home for him.

[RC_Drunkford]

this loss is not on LA or DeRozan. At this point we look like we only have 5 players who can actually stay on the floor, not 9. Nobody on the bench is doing anything. Pop could play Dante Cunningham and get more out of him then any of Gay/Belinelli/Mills/Bertans. Mills was ok this game, but for the series he's been terrible. Our 3rd stringers looked better than our 2nd stringers. And the White vs. Murray match up has been up and down all season. We just need more players stepping up. Pop needs to change up the rotation that's for sure. Not sure if it would help, but you don't have anything to lose at this point

[jbspurs]

Not you too. DeRozan has been fine. He’s not Lebron but he’s been better than people make him out to be.

Exactly! He played good today and he still gets the blame. It was Gay and Beli who played bad on both ends of the court today. They will bounce back and win the series in 6!

[gameFACE]

He won't get suspended.

[Nathan89]

Just 2 more years of DeRozan and then we get to rebuild.

[GreekSpursfan]

Just 2 more years of DeRozan and then we get to rebuild.

Hopefully.

[mclinejr]

He’ll get fined, but I doubt he’ll get suspended.

[Das Texan]

What a stupid call by a stupid ref compounded by a stupid player.

DeRozen is nothing but a fucking mental midget in big situations sadly.

[gambit1990]

dude should be coming off the bench at a third of the price.

[BillMc]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WZ9KZRtlHDo

If it means more mins for MVPatty then Spurs might still have a chance in this series tbh (in spite of poop)

[TheChillFactor]

DeRozan is a fucking disgrace. He has been whining about calls all year and now ripping his jersey and getting thrown out.

GETTING THROWN OUT OF A GAME THAT YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE LEADING IN BECAUSE YOU GOT CALLED FOR A CHARGE. WHAT. THE. FUCK.

(it was the right call too)

[RC_Drunkford]

Also, DeRozan is such an emotional lesbian. He should seriously try to work on not losing his shit so easily and so often.

Don't think that Pop would have ever put up with those antics beyond his first off-load opportunity, but I bet Pop keeps him because he came in the Number 2 deal, and Pop has to show he got a player who he can mold into another franchise player. Won't work.

LOL. Of course it was the right call. DeRozan's "charge" was payback for a blatantly missed call a few seconds before. He didn't try to hide it. He slammed into Harris and gave him a hard shot, then tossed the ball. He wasn't pissed that the charge was called, he was pissed about what happened before. I don't blame him for being mad, but he was still stupid for what he did. That was never going to come out good.

Meanwhile, the league reversed double technical on Durant and JaMychal Green, because they don't want to take a chance on having to suspend Durant during the playoffs. Theater imitating sports.

[jjktkk]

We did not lose because of derozan

We lost cause our D was pathetic and our bench save mills was pulverized

:tu

[Xx_SpursNation_xX]

Doesn't Lonnie Walker absolutely suck and has stupid hair?

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Wish he hit Pop with that fastball tbh

For real though :lmao

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

This is why game 2 was so fucking stupid of liberal pop with his bad lineup cost spurs the w

Yup, should have been a sweep

[cd021]

Just 2 more years of DeRozan and then we get to rebuild.

I doubt he takes that player option, after next season. Makes sense for him to opt out and get more years and money.

[rasuo214]

Don't think that Pop would have ever put up with those antics beyond his first off-load opportunity, but I bet Pop keeps him because he came in the Number 2 deal, and Pop has to show he got a player who he can mold into another franchise player. Won't work.

Shit, you're right. I was hoping they'd trade him this off-season but Pop's ego/pride won't allow it.

[UZER]

Yes, DeRomo has his issues. But I feel like some of this has some to do with Pop never sticking up for his players publicly.

You saw Malone call out the refs, right or wrong, he went to bat for his players publicly to the media, and it rallied his guys.

Pop never does that, the exception being Kawhi and Pachulia. In 20+ years of coaching, he’s done it once....once! And it was a day.

Tim Tony and Manu aren’t walking through that door. They new guys need to feel Pop backing them publicly, but he won’t because he’s so smart and we’re all dumb, and his coaching is untouchable.

He shouldn't even get credit for that 1 act. Pop was a dumbass about the Zaza situation. Originally he said after game 1 that he didn't believe it was intentional. Only a day or two later did he call out Zaza. #2 deserves a lot of hatred for the stunt he pulled last year but I feel Pop not sticking up for him immediately gave Uncle Dennis an easy opening to say "Hey #2 Pop doesn't have your back look at how he didn't even stick up for you until it was obvious that Zaza hurt you. Do you really want to spend the rest of your career with a guy who doesn't always have your back."

Yes you’re absolutely right. I left out the word later from my post on accident. It should have read “And it was a day later”. That was my point, it came a day later as if it was forced.

[cd021]

DeRozan getting ejected is a headline on the front page of CNN lol

[monty4329]

I don't hate him, and that has nothing to do with it. But you can't be so mentally weak that you rip up your own jersey in one game, and get ejected like that in another.

And obviously the alternatives to DD aren't good, but he's mentally pathetic.

+1

[monty4329]

Never see a player on our team doing that. Pathetic.

That.

Pop should bench him next game anyway. Series is lost, take back at least some Spurs pride in having players behave like men.

The idiot did the same in game 3. He doesn't get a call, he loses his mind (that little he has of it). What a fucking egotistic moron, couldn't care less about the team, they guy is only stats and iso-me.

(the durant green double technical was a mistake, they were just laughing, really)

So the loss is on the refs? is this your point? if coach blames the refs then millionaires will play hard?

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

DeRozan penetration and kicking out is the best way to generate any decent looks from 3. Without him Spurs will not be able to generate enough offense to win.

He's first on the team in drives with 16.8 a game, second is White at 12.5 per NBA.com. Not sure how many of these result in successful kick outs for 3s.

[DJR210]

Fuck DePression one season of his bipolar bullshit has been more than enough

[Russ]

Fuck DePression one season of his bipolar bullshit has been more than enough

True, he's not the ideal player.

But who else on the team is going to handle the ball, get his own shots, score, lead the team in assists and stop stagnation on offense pretty much every time he's asked to.

If any of us had to do all that, we might be depressed too.

[duncan2k5]

IF Dumbmar gets suspended, will Lonnie get a few real minutes?

And if the Spurs look good without Dumbmar, will that, coupled with his tantrums, influence Pop to move him in the offseason?
I freaking HOPE... The younger Pop would have... This Pop sees DDR as a pet project to bring redemption to, so be prepared to have him on the team until either he or Pop retires

Actually thew thing I like about his game is his 1-dribble lateral penetration+12 footer or + fake-under-the-defender; on those he is indeed an all star. Unfortunately he seems to have forgotten them, for lazier 5-dribble +9 ft fadeaway

[monty4329]

He leads the team in assists in playoffs

Yes, that wasn't my question though. But yes he leads in assists.

[sasaint]

I freaking HOPE... The younger Pop would have... This Pop sees DDR as a pet project to bring redemption to, so be prepared to have him on the team until either he or Pop retires

I believe you are right. More than likely that’s how Pop sees Dumbmar. But to my mind, if Pop is willing to tolerate his antics that’s the ultimate indication that he has come loose from his moorings. For such regular outbursts Pop would have buried any other player deep in his doghouse until the first opportunity to dump the guy. Deadman comes to mind in recent history, and he was a model citizen compared to Dumbmar.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

I'm still steamed after watching the clip of him tossing the ball. Dude needs to go. I dont care what they get. You want to tank? Trade him for whatever you can and tank next year. That shitty attitude doesn't happen here. Go at in NY or some other place were you can rot and be a brat.

I don't care what his stats are on this mediocre team, he is not good long term for the Spurs

[DPG21920]

I’m honestly really shocked at people on their soapbox regarding DeRozan and him throwing the ball. Is it annoying? Absolutely. He really does a poor job of controlling his emotions when he’s not getting calls.

But all the outrage and asking for him to be traded because you were offended? To each their own, but that is a bit much to me. He is by all accounts a great teammate, he’s kind to the media and doesn’t do anything off court that draws any negative attention.

He’s far more Spurs material than not.

[baseline bum]

All of you all talking about moving DeRozan --- wtf are you smoking? He's due $55 million over the next two years. You think anyone is taking that contract and giving the Spurs anything of value back?

Look, lets not go overboard with the hyperbole. Plenty of teams would love to have DeRozan. Teams that struggle to attract talent and want to make a playoff push; he has value.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Agree. But we're not getting anything back save for a 2nd rounder and a G-league player.

[alpha_HaZE]

It's probably a plus. :madrun

and the hate towards black NBA players from the hood, continues. DeRosan has been one of out most consistent player in this Playoffs, and if it wasn't for him we would be down 3-1 right now.

1 Denver was the Number 2 team in west for a reason, they are a pretty good team! And 2, they have had some inspiring performances, we had ours of course, but they did it more. That 21 point 4th quarter was insane.

so yeah hate all you want!

Spurs are stuck with DeRozan for at least another season. After next season teams might trade for for his expiring contract.

[Maddog]

I’m honestly really shocked at people on their soapbox regarding DeRozan and him throwing the ball. Is it annoying? Absolutely. He really does a poor job of controlling his emotions when he’s not getting calls.

But all the outrage and asking for him to be traded because you were offended? To each their own, but that is a bit much to me. He is by all accounts a great teammate, he’s kind to the media and doesn’t do anything off court that draws any negative attention.

He’s far more Spurs material than not.

He shows up and plays hard and gets upset when getting blown out.
More Spurs material than sitting out 70+ games.

DDR has flaws and should or could the Spurs have gotten a better deal is a reasonable debate. I think PATFO saw something in him that they could work with. Like RJ, to a lesser degree Rasho. They eventually wised up and got out of both deals.
It's hard to know what his trade value is. I suspect they will re evaluate in the off season. I wouldn't be surprised if they explore options. I don't think he is a great fit style wise, I don't see a clear way to making this team a contender in the next 5 years

DeRozan got fined $25,000. Did not get suspended.

Sounds about right. This was not a suspendable offense, especially during the playoffs. Now if DeRozan had actually hit the ref with the ball then we probably have a different outcome.

[ducks]

Better if pop did and made becky be in charge

[Genovaswitness]

and the hate towards black NBA players from the hood, continues. DeRosan has been one of out most consistent player in this Playoffs, and if it wasn't for him we would be down 3-1 right now.

1 Denver was the Number 2 team in west for a reason, they are a pretty good team! And 2, they have had some inspiring performances, we had ours of course, but they did it more. That 21 point 4th quarter was insane.

so yeah hate all you want!

people hate derozan because he’s a mental midget depressed idiot not because he’s from the “”hood””

[NameLess Scrub]

I don't think he actually wanted to hit the ref. More like handing it with attitude. Glad he wasn't suspended.

Hopefully it helps him learn to channel his emotions.

So he plays like an idiot, whines all the time, can't make a shot when it matters, dribbles into the defense and loses the ball or throws pathetic fadeaways, but we can't say it because he is black?

Are you nuts or what?

[SuperCam]

Spurs were nearly a 50-win team with no Murray - Spurs adding Lonnie/Murray and hopefully a free agent that rounds out the roster and SA is going to be very good with DeRozan.


damn you didnt learn your lesson from last summer when defrozan was supposed to add 10 wins to the spurs :lol

[Keepin' it real]

How much did the ref get fined for missing the call??

So I guess Doncic is from the hood cause he got lots of hate cause of the color of his skin.

He had 19 points on 13 shots, 5 rebounds 5 assists and 2 turnovers.
This loss wasn't on him. I'm not a big fan of his game, but all in all he was effective. I didn't like him loosing his cool, but at least he was not accepting of losing.

Well, I dont remember saying 10 wins, but I did think they would hit 50 and they were 2 games off. Losing Murray, IMO, changed a lot of things and I do believe with Murray, SA has 4-6 more wins.

[spurs10]

We need all the help we can get in Denver. DDR was the least of our problems against Denver though he missed plenty of pointblank jump shots. At least he found other ways to score. Glad he didn't get suspended. Pop had seemingly raised the white flag by then, down 18 with 5 to go and no one stopping anyone. A hard game to watch.

[EricB]

Don’t get this at all. DeRozan Aldridge were the only ones who showed up. DeRozan has been good. The myth of “playoff DeRozan” has been blown out of the water.

[MoSpur02]

Derozan has played very good overall this series. Him crying and letting his frustration get the best of him is what bothers me. I don't mind him arguing calls just like every NBA player does, but he throws tantrums and let's the refs take him out of his game.

[DJR210]

But who else on the team is going to handle the ball, get his own shots, score, lead the team in assists and stop stagnation on offense pretty much every time he's asked to.

Who else on the team makes 28 million per?

[gameFACE]

Someone finally upstaged Pop in the anger department and I'm fine with it. Anyone who is on the Spurs moral high horse or "Spurs way" bs is laughable. This may actually fuel DDR.

[Russ]

Just 2 more years of DeRozan and then we get to rebuild.

Rebuilding is great!

Nothing much to discuss except whether you like the owner's dress or not (for the next ten years).

Rebuilding isn't great and that's why I would've started with get young assets for our superstar.
