Game Thread: PLAYOFFS. Rnd 1, Gm 5: Spurs @ Nuggets — Tue. (4/23) - 8:30/C (4:30am Riga Time)

[Ron Swanson]

At least Poeltl gives a shit.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

The only thing worse in this game then Beli, Plumelee airballing everything a d making people.wonder how he is in the NBA

[slick'81]

Poodle power!

[Grybauskaite]

I love that Austrian product!

[tholdren]

Best lineup

[Arcadian]

Why the fuck does Derozan never get any calls?

[Leetonidas]

Derozan cancerfest

[GreekSpursfan]

Depression holding us back per par

[YoungbuckMurray]

Refs are garbage. Poetl held so bad

[Immortal Spur]

dd with the hero ball...

[spurstalk123456]

demar is 2-9 SHIT

[Chomag]

Then gives it right bank on defence

[emanueldavidginobili]

Pop has no balls to get in DDR ass. This is pathetic

[Spurch]

Luckily we're only down by 3 the way we're playing

[FkLA]

MVPurdle putting the team on his back

[Raven]

Wasn’t Belli kinda clutch back in 2014? This Belli imposter is pathetic

no he was not. That's a myth

[Spurtacular]

Spurs Kobe sucking.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Where is white and Forbes...

[spurraider21]

poodle carrying

bertans is useless at the 3, he doesnt get open at all.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Put white back in!!!!! Before they go on their classic shit on Marco and Mills

[GreekSpursfan]

Mills is good so far

[tholdren]

Take out derozan put in white.

[Keepin' it real]

All time playoff D by Mills!!

[Capt Bringdown]

Maybe White is in Pop's doghouse for having that 36 pt game.

[Chomag]

Ummm so did Pop forget about white?

[spurraider21]

patty has at least tried on defense. he's been blown by already a few times (end of 1st q most notably) but at least he's been active. has a steal and now drawn a charge

[YoungbuckMurray]

Belli maybe heating up

[TimDunkem]

A real pg would have seen Bertans sooner.

[Leetonidas]

Marco coming to life finally

[Keepin' it real]

Cold blooded J by Marco!

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Beli now 2 for 73 in the series

[808]

Patty is a net plus so far tonight, but get white the fuck back in there already

[KDKSpurs24]

Patty didn’t see Bertans WIDE open.

[Immortal Spur]

lets go beli!!! there's some balls

[Spurch]

Finally Marco hitting some, thanks bro

[SpurSpike]

Marco only makes the hard ones lol

[SpurPadre]

Davis Bonner is so worthless in the playoffs like his father Matt, tbh.

[Leetonidas]

no he was not. That's a myth

Yeah he was in the RS but in the playoffs he was trash outside of the Portland series iirc

[sananspursfan21]

Man if Pearl is carrying this team and they’re down 3, imagine if our usuals pick it up

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Yeah that dude is defending Marco pretty well suffocating the shit out of him. He's working hard to get free lol

[Raven]

Depression holding us back per par

he's trying but his body language is just atrocious.. takes many possessions off, like when he didn't go for the rebound on poeltl's shot.. We just can't afford "diesel" type of players.

[**BUSTA**]

Ummm so did Pop forget about white?
as usual

[Grybauskaite]

We got Beli back, POP promised best pizza in Denver :blah

[spurraider21]

lets go white/forbes/marco/davis/poodle for a couple minutes before LMA comes in for davis

[Play Boban]

Poeltl leading the team in scoring, rebounding, and assists...

[Spurch]

Beli now 2 for 73 in the series

Lol

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Bright spot is nobody playing all that well outside Jakob and Spurs only down 3

[GreekSpursfan]

Patty is a net plus so far tonight, but get white the fuck back in there already

No, Murray is out so White is out too. When Murray checks back in so will White. We need him as fresh as possible because Murray is the real opponent here not their scrubs

[SpurPadre]

A real pg would have seen Bertans sooner.

So what, Davis Bonner would've missed anyways.

[Raven]

Yeah he was in the RS but in the playoffs he was trash outside of the Portland series iirc

regular season clutch then it is :lol

[8sy21vd]

Denver is there for the taking. But if White isn't clicking on both ends, don't think the Spurs can get over the hump. Disappointing series for Demar and Aldridge up to this point.

[r0drig0lac]

Beli now 2 for 73 in the series

[Shakril]

Poeltl carrying this team....involved in every play offensivly and defensivly.

[Keepin' it real]

Poeltl leading the team in scoring, rebounding, and assists...

What about steals and blocks??? Slacker.

[sananspursfan21]

Ok so we can check Belli off the list. Now, does Gay have a pulse???

[Chomag]

Bell and Mills still playing?? Lmao

[808]

No, Murray is out so White is out too. When Murray checks back in so will White. We need him as fresh as possible because Murray is the real opponent here not their scrubs

Instead of offsetting each other, White can actually grow a lead vs their scrubs

[FkLA]

Why is this faggot heroballing?

[Raven]

awful shot call

[Capt Bringdown]

DeRozan shooting every time he touches the ball.

[rastaspur]

Derozan is trash.

[spurstalk123456]

demar has lost his mind

[808]

Who the f is morris

[sananspursfan21]

The Nuggets are automatic no matter what they shoot

[Play Boban]

Rudy Cancer.

[Ron Swanson]

Rudy is broken.

[Chomag]

:pop: After a career game I had to shut White down so he can get over himself cause this playoffs is not for him.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Bad after bad shot after bad shot after bad shot

[r0drig0lac]

nuggets with lucky shot after lucky shot

[GreekSpursfan]

Gay still trash

[weeks]

Rudy is broken.

[spurraider21]

patty gets an A for effort at this point tbh

but is there any good way to defend those jokic dribble handoffs?

[Capt Bringdown]

All that and the lead's back to 7

[Leetonidas]

Fucking weak ass bullshit

[KDKSpurs24]

Why is Rudy still in?! He’s short arming everything all series

[Spurch]

Rudy just wasting time on the floor, 6'11" with length and not contributing enough smh

[Leetonidas]

Jesus Aldridge fucking sucks

[Play Boban]

Aldridge is literally cancer.

[YoungbuckMurray]

How many2 foot shots can Aldridge miss

[Amuseddaysleeper]

What the hell is wrong with this team such shit :pc toss

[212094ever]

Fucking LMA

[spurraider21]

the fuck is going on?

[ThaBigFundamental21]

It took 3 and a half games. But Denver is starting to look like the favorite...lets hope something changes.

[Capt Bringdown]

Wow

[sananspursfan21]

Wow LMA

[808]

Jesus Christ all these shots at the rim these scrubs are missing

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Lma again missing an easy basket

[rastaspur]

Holy shit this is ugly basketball

[spurstalk123456]

my god aldridge

[Immortal Spur]

i miss the big three...

[Leetonidas]

Jesus Aldridge fucking sucks

I take it back :lol

[DAF86]

he's as hopeless defensively. at least at the 4 he can provide the occasional rim protection. and playing him at the 4 is what gives that unit such great spacing. doesnt have the same effect from the 3

No, he isn't. Neither the eye test nor the metrics support your claim.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Drive dish drive. Series over. Hard concept to grasp for Spurs

[FkLA]

This Murray scrub is throwing up so much bullshit. Scrub struggles so much to just get his shot off on White.

[212094ever]

Attack the fucking basket

[spurraider21]

finally LMA...

aldridge and derozan have missed 5 bunnies at the rim already

[sananspursfan21]

LMA ain’t even looking for the ball

[GreekSpursfan]

Inside is their weakest game. We need to attack them inside

[DAF86]

Missing point blank layups sure isn't winning ball, tbh.

[Quiet Strength]

This team is very good at missing easy shots

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Putting aside the reactionary bullshit. If we start actually making some buckets, we can win this game. They arent blowing us out when they really should be.

[Play Boban]

:cry We need SJax :cry

[Capt Bringdown]

Does Denver's D deserve credit for White not being a factor since game 3, or is it mainly Pop's shitty minute management?

[DejuanorwhatDude]

Fuck LMA. When are the Spurs going to dump him and that low IQ piece of shit Derozan?

[bbarry]

They make so many fckin 3's...

[Chomag]

Trash

[r0drig0lac]

White playing like shit again

[808]

Fucken Gary curry over her

[Immortal Spur]

aldridge just gave that three.

[Play Boban]

Poeltl goes out and the sperms start getting rolled over again.

[212094ever]

Man, this team is dumb

[Leetonidas]

:pctoss

[bbarry]

This team is very good at missing easy shots

one of the things that absolutely pisses me off.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

We are going to struggle to break 90

[GreekSpursfan]

How can we win with Derozan? There is no way

[emanueldavidginobili]

Whites a fucking mess

[spurraider21]

another missed layup, this time white. then shitty turnover.

these guys are actively trying to lose

[Slippy]

We don't win shit with Demar making plays

[YoungbuckMurray]

3’s vs 2’s

[Immortal Spur]

if i have to watch one more year of dd and lma...

[Raven]

the amount of layups missed in this game is unheard of

[sananspursfan21]

White has crashed to earth hard

[Uriel]

Thank goodness Will Barton is as bad as Rudy Gay.

[212094ever]

Making that Murray scrub look like an all-star

[emanueldavidginobili]

White has been invisible out there

[tholdren]

Gay and aldridge two of the worst when it comes to physical play or will to win

[sananspursfan21]

And now the refs are getting ticky tacky

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Putting aside the reactionary bullshit. If we start actually making some buckets, we can win this game. They arent blowing us out when they really should be.


It’s gonna be a blowout by halftime

[Play Boban]

Pop low IQ coach

[YoungbuckMurray]

Gotta start shooting 3’s mid range 2’s aren’t gonna cut it

[rastaspur]

These refs let jokic getvaway with murder on the pick and rolls

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Looked like a 2 seed for 3 games, looking like a 7 seed for the last 1.5 games. Too bad we gave away game 2...

[SpurPadre]

White is so inconsistent...

[Leetonidas]

White looks like that 36 point game fucked his head up. He's been dogshit since then

[Mikeanaro]

Refs game.

[DAF86]

We used to have leaders like Tim Duncan, Manu Ginóbili and Tony Parker.

[Shakril]

For Spurs to win Poeltl MUST be on the court all the time. It is no coincidence that Spurs start to struggle as soon he is off the court.

[Kurgan]

DeRozan is such a loser. He's more worried on getting a call than just playing basketball.

Fuck PATFO for trading for him and fuck anybody that defended that trade.

He's a mentally weak piece of trash. That mid-range-iso, poor man's Kobe game of his is so disgusting to watch.

[Play Boban]

Gay -13, White -12

[GreekSpursfan]

Refs fucking us as well, White not good enough today, Derozan an absolute mess. Nuggets in 6 tbh.

[sananspursfan21]

Our guys had their chance. The Nuggets weren’t confident at all. Now they’re brimming and pumped. I really hope I’m wrong but I think the series is over

[itzsoweezee]

White getting destroyed. Not looking good

[skin27]

White disappearing after a 36pt career high game..lol

[sasaint]

LMA needs to learn the old school art of using the backboard on those chippies.

[daslicer]

White is so inconsistent...

He's young that's to be expected.

[spurraider21]

gary harris is a 33% 3 point shooter in the regular season

naturally hitting 46% of them in this series

[Genovaswitness]

mental midget squad. everyone playing shook. Gary Harris looking like Ray Allen. I don’t know why I put myself through this bullshit

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Sorry ass Pop gave way too much confidence to Denver in games 2 and 4. Now they truly believe they are better.

[tim_duncan_fan]

No "Free Lonnie" thread?

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

Looked like a 2 seed for 3 games, looking like a 7 seed for the last 1.5 games. Too bad we gave away game 2...and 4

[TheRemix]

Sorry ass Pop gave way too much confidence to Denver in games 2 and 4. Now they truly believe they are better.

This.

[Play Boban]

​:pop: They’re just hitting more shots than us. :pop:

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

[QUOTE=tim_duncan_fan;9783383]No "Free Lonnie" thread?[/QUOTEI guess you definitely want the Spurs to lose.

[Spurch]

:rollin:lmaoRelying on mills&belli when it counts

Mills,beli, bertans are not freeing themselves for uncontested open looks

[DejuanorwhatDude]

Spurs have given up. Fucking losers. Who wants to root for this shit?

[Kurgan]

White is so inconsistent...

What do you expect when you keep the guy secluded to D-League for his entire rookie year. This is pretty much his real rookie season since Pop refused to give minutes to him last year.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

and 4

Yeah but we had a 19 point lead in the third quarter of game 2... Just unacceptable to lose from a position like that

Game 4 was just a bad performance, not a choke

[Uriel]

1120869529079255041

[KDKSpurs24]

These refs let jokic getvaway with murder on the pick and rolls
That’s wtf I’m saying.. ridiculous

[Cloud786]

This.

They are better.

[Play Boban]

Boban advanced to the second round, at least.

[FkLA]

Pop fucked up so bad Game 2. All he had to do was extend his big horses minutes, which would've been better in the long run anyway since it would've shortened the series, but nah he had to stick to his precious rotations. He knows best. :rolleyes

[sasaint]

if i have to watch one more year of dd and lma...

Fasten your seatbelt, friend.

[GreekSpursfan]

The fact that Mills and Poetl are our best players is pathetic tbh

[Capt Bringdown]

White looks like that 36 point game fucked his head up. He's been dogshit since then

Denver switched Harris on him. That's been the most important adjustment of the series by either team.
Spurs have no chance if White doesn't make an impact.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

That’s the shot we get out of a timeout?! :lmao

[Play Boban]

Poop doubling down on the stupid, benching Poeltl and continuing to play Cancerous Gay.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Stop blaming the refs holy shit. Blame the players that can’t make point blank shots or take bad shots or can’t get a rebound or stay in front of their man

[rastaspur]

Alot of fans have tried to put lipstick on a pig ever since the kawhi trade. Derozan is trash.

A net negative when it really matters.

[GreekSpursfan]

White is somewhere else, get him out of there.

[tholdren]

Nba talent is a joke

[CGD]

I love patty but man he gives everything back on D. Same for Marco. Can’t win like that.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Pop fucked up so bad Game 2. All he had to do was extend his big horses minutes, which would've been better in the long run anyway since it would've shortened the series, but nah he had to stick to his precious rotations. He knows best. :rolleyes

Yup. He turned a sweep into this bullshit

[212094ever]

Also making Jokic look like a competent defender

[spurraider21]

good good

out of a timeout, draw up a 2 point jump shot for forbes

[boutons_deux]

lma + ddr = 6 / 17 FG, 35% for our Big 2 leaders

[emanueldavidginobili]

White has zero confidence in his shot

[FkLA]

Derrick Whit missed a defensive assignment. Get in there pet wombat! :pop:

[Immortal Spur]

they just want it more right now...

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

What kind of lineup is this lol

[spurraider21]

white needs to be more confident taking 3 point shots... he's getting daylight but is never even considering pulling the trigger

[sasaint]

Yeah but we had a 19 point lead in the third quarter of game 2... Just unacceptable to lose from a position like that

Game 4 was just a bad performance, not a choke

TWO 19 point leads.

[r0drig0lac]

Murray is destroying White again

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Ugh, getting harder to see how this game is winnable when literally nobody is stepping up

[Leetonidas]

White is trash out there. We're fucked

[GreekSpursfan]

Get White out of there,, he's getting his ass kicked.

[Uriel]

At the start of the series, the Nuggets looked tentative, unsure of themselves. Meanwhile, the Spurs were playing with purpose and a ton of energy.

Now it's the other way around.

[emanueldavidginobili]

whites getting dominated. Like I said it comes down to that matchup whoever wins that matchup wins

[Play Boban]

MVPoeltl is finally back in, but is it too late? JOker toying with our scrubs.

[Capt Bringdown]

3rd foul on White.

[spurraider21]

and now white's getting cooked on D. what a disappointing last couple of games from the guy

[Immortal Spur]

the stage has gotten too big for DW already

[urunobili]

I hate how after game three, the press ignited the Nuggets for free reminding each single of their players how much Murray owned them... :depressed

[sananspursfan21]

If that was Denver that’s continuation

[tim_duncan_fan]

Too slow. Undynamic.

Free Lonnie.

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

DWhite has been horrible tonight - no defensive effort, will not take open jumpers

[emanueldavidginobili]

Mills Forbes Marco LMAO. There’s not a soul that is intimidated by these guys. The nuggets are hard as a rock right now thinking about scoring on them

[Kurgan]

The fact that Mills and Poetl are our best players is pathetic tbh

Even more pathetic is collecting other teams leftover garbage and passing them off as stars. Portland and Toronto both got a lot better after dumping LaMarsha and Defrozen.

[GreekSpursfan]

And people were saying that White is better than Murray, smdh.

[slick'81]

Cancer mills :lmao

[Ron Swanson]

Patty :lmao

[jjktkk]

Derrick Whit missed a defensive assignment. Get in there pet wombat! :pop:

White has 3 fouls.

[Chomag]

Pop rotated us right out of this series lol

[Genovaswitness]

officially turned it off. see you guys draft night!

[sasaint]

Patty just looked like a YMCA player on both ends there.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Lol patty

[spurraider21]

what the fucking fuck is patty doing?

[urunobili]

Trashy Mills!

[TDMVPDPOY]

white flag out yet by pop??? lol

[Leetonidas]

What a fucking embarrassment

[FkLA]

WTF was the pet wombat doing? What a fucking collapse and this retarded coach turns to the two players that have doomed the team all series :lmao

[SpurPadre]

Now I know what Dejounte meant by his post...he can't wait to reclaim his starting PG spot and bring some fucking consistency to the spot instead of flashes every now and then.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Pop rotated us right out of this series lol

100%

[tholdren]

every nba player looks like a YMCA player on both ends there.

[TimDunkem]

Didn't some faggots here say that the Spurs are a more talented team? :lmao

[Immortal Spur]

poodle making me proud somewhat.. he's playing his heart out

[SuperCam]

Spurm fan popsuckers mad at Nate Duncan for telling the truth :lmao

[spurraider21]

despite how shitty we've played, if our team has made its bunnies at the rim we'd be up by 5 right now

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Gay ass dunk lol

[rastaspur]

Lma ran the floor well

[emanueldavidginobili]

Can’t wait for DJ and Lonnie Next year. Holy shit sounds so much better than Mills and Marco

[Uriel]

I seriously believe Pop has a way of messing with his teams' minds. He gets them to second guess and overthink everything. and that causes them to lose confidence in the playoffs.

[Shakril]

Mills managed to make 1 Turnover 2 Terrible Defensiv plays which led to 4 Points in just 20 Seconds!!!

[Play Boban]

I wouldn’t be against cutting LA at halftime.

[Spurtacular]

Forbes hit on the shot, tbh.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Game would be tied if LA could make a layup

[sasaint]

LMA ended the half in perfect form.

[Leetonidas]

Lmao LA fucking scrub bricking multiple point blank layups

[FkLA]

smh LMA just isn't a winner

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Spurs will win this game. I'm not worried.

[weebo]

lamarsha :lol

[Ron Swanson]

:pop: Nice try, Patty. You'll hit it next time.

[Capt Bringdown]

How many layups has LMA missed tonite?

[TimDunkem]

Mills managed to make 1 Turnover 2 Terrible Defensiv plays which led to 4 Points in just 20 Seconds!!!

But towel waves and cappuccinos tho

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Another missed layup by lma

[skin27]

Like I said higher seeded team usually win the series..

[emanueldavidginobili]

Mental midgets that is all

[Immortal Spur]

OMGGGG LMAAAA WAAAAAAA

[rastaspur]

Wtf lma? How do you miss that? Horrible.

[sananspursfan21]

Aldridge is absolutely laughable out there. Surprised that breakaway dunk went in tbh

[BackHome]

I seriously believe Pop has a way of messing with his teams' minds. He gets them to second guess and overthink everything. and that causes them to lose confidence in the playoffs.

+1

[TimDunkem]

smh LMA just isn't a winner

He is who we thought he was. He was sort of a good idea when you already had a big 4, but he's not meant to be the best player on any team.

[Raven]

good lord those layups...

[212094ever]

LMA finishing at the rim like Mills

[TheRemix]

They are better.

Those 2 games were ours

[TheGoatishere]

LMA has no touch around the basket..

[KDKSpurs24]

OMFG POINT BLANK LAYUP

[tholdren]

Lma is as bad as pau.

THIS SITE HAS TOO MANY ADS

[Play Boban]

Poeltl...
On court: 14 mins, +2
Off: 10 minutes, -13

tbh....

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

No 3 point shooting no spacing, even when they drive there's no one to kick out to.
