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

[Spurtacular]

Aldridge missing point blank layups. That's the team leader? SMH

[Keepin' it real]

LMA with the passive-aggressive payback for the 4th quarter benching the other day.

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Only LMA could blow that

[YoungbuckMurray]

If Pop doesn’t go to walker he’s an idiot. This team needs athleticism and hunger in there, as well as a guy to break down the defense. Walker is that guy

[Spurtacular]

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

tbh....

Fuck Pop's lineups.

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol lma watta fkn scrub, patfo choosing this kent over nephew...lol

[tp2021]

It looks like they are blowing shots at the rim on purpose. Aldridge must have vacation on his mind already.

[TheRemix]

Shooters just need to shoot. Fuck this dribble drive into traffic

[tim_duncan_fan]

I'm not even sad we're losing. I'm sad that Derrick White nit only came back to Earth, but actually interred himself.

[spurraider21]

there's not that many buttons pop can push. derozan/aldridge/white are all shitting the bad. patty started off with good effort but has gone full retard. bertans has become timid on offense.

our guys just have to knock down the bunnies. turning away easy points that turn into transition on the other side

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

Denver announcers are annoying as fuck. The one dude probably Jacks off as he says joker over and over.

[Capt Bringdown]

You can talk about White, but it was DeRozan's ball-hogging that killed the offense

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Aldridge missing point blank layups. That's the team leader? SMH

He prob missed at least 3 or 4 easy ones. 6 to 8 points right there lol

[offset formation]

Wow. DeRozan not in for the last 6 or 7 minutes of the half. He must be in the dog house. Or hurt.

If it's doghouse, homey might be traded this offseason.

[blah28]

How many layups or two footers have the Spurs missed this half? I know White as missed a couple, Demar a few, LMA at least 3 and Forbes and so on.

[timtonymanu]

Lol Ma Misses.

1st round exit ceiling at best. My Nuggets in 7 pick is still a possibility but this entire team is so damn soft that I won’t be surprised if they check out in Game 6.

[BackHome]

I think White foot is acting up again would be suprised to see him again.

[DAF86]

:lmao Aldridge

I can't wait for the next regular season when someone of the homers bumps the "Aldridge ball isn't winning ball" after a 30 pts on 26 shots performance vs the Phoenix Suns, tbh. :lol

[Kurgan]

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

:lol Building your team around a mid-range offense

[Larry O]

Demoralizing loss incoming? Let's see what adjustments Pop will do to right the ship in the 2nd half, if possible.

[sananspursfan21]

For about a two minute stretch, Spurs just let the Nuggets have everything. No fight on defense. If they even tried, we’re looking at about 6 point deficit

[TimDunkem]

Wow. DeRozan not in for the last 6 or 7 minutes of the half. He must be in the dog house. Or hurt.

If it's doghouse, homey might be traded this offseason.

Nah. They don't give up on guys that quickly. He's another charity case.

[Shakril]

I dont care that Poeltl is not an offensive Player, but at this point i would run plays specificly for him. The only Spur that plays well and hard and he makes his f****** Layups.

Poeltl needs to play for 24mins if spurs want to win.

[Genovaswitness]

Wow. DeRozan not in for the last 6 or 7 minutes of the half. He must be in the dog house. Or hurt.

If it's doghouse, homey might be traded this offseason.

one could hope

[Dverde]

I wonder if Nuggets are sending Pop wine for putting them over clean and making them look like a hundred bucks

[emanueldavidginobili]

Only down 9 should be a lot worst tbh

[Spurs 4 The Win]

For about a two minute stretch, Spurs just let the Nuggets have everything. No fight on defense. If they even tried, we’re looking at about 6 point deficit

Aldridge missed 3 point blank lay ins, Derozan missed 2, White missed 1, Poetl missed 1.
14 points left on the table, pathetic

[TheRemix]

Wow. DeRozan not in for the last 6 or 7 minutes of the half. He must be in the dog house. Or hurt.

If it's doghouse, homey might be traded this offseason.

He should be. Just lol at a "star" who can't hit a three to save his life.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

They're doubling Derrick White every time he has the ball what he fuck do you want him too do :lol it's hard enough that he has to give a 100% on D too

[Trainwreck2100]

Only down 9 should be a lot worst tbh
yeah they could be down 11

[Spurs 4 The Win]

He should be. Just lol at a "star" who can't hit a three to save his life.

This, how hard is it to learn to take 3 steps back and hit the more efficient shot... I mean, fucking Jokic shoots 3's as well as Derozan, wtf

[GreekSpursfan]

This series is over, they are more athletic, move the ball well and their best players actually play well and fast. Tank next season tbh.

[TimDunkem]

:lmao Aldridge

I can't wait for the next regular season when someone of the homers bumps the "Aldridge ball isn't winning ball" after a 30 pts on 26 shots performance vs the Phoenix Suns, tbh. :lol

I always thought the push back on that was so strange. Literally no one here thought he was a winner when he was with the Blazers, but he suddenly "leads" the team to a 4-1 exit and less than 50 wins and he's suddenly a God. Sad where this franchise has fallen.

And now we completed the set of three stooges with Gay and DD. It's a team of losers.

[BackHome]

To be honest Denver is throwing up a lot of prayer shots that just happen to be going in

[FkLA]

there's not that many buttons pop can push. derozan/aldridge/white are all shitting the bad. patty started off with good effort but has gone full retard. bertans has become timid on offense.

our guys just have to knock down the bunnies. turning away easy points that turn into transition on the other side

That fucking idiot could've played his big guns heavy minutes in Game 2 and stepped on their fucking throat when they when they were ready to die. Instead he stuck to his bullshit rotations because he's a pompous asshole that has let the fact that he is the GOAT get to his fucking head. Playing his top guys regular season minutes (which are already low to begin with bc he's the genius that invented DNP-rest), throwing in the towel way too prematurely, hockey subs, etc. That's all bullshit no other coach does in the playoffs and it's something he himself would've never done early on in his coaching career.

[Genovaswitness]

I think White foot is acting up again would be suprised to see him again.

Muh foot. that shit was half a year ago

[Spurs da champs]

DeRozan sucks, lol.

[Ron Swanson]

Only down 9 should be a lot worst tbh

Give it time.

[Mugen]

At least we won't have to worry about a Game 7 :lol

[Capt Bringdown]

Going back to the last game, the Spurs have lost 6 straight quarters of basketball.
The season is most likely over.

[Mugen]

To be honest Denver is throwing up a lot of prayer shots that just happen to be going in

:lmao well the Spurs are missing point blank layups

[Spurs fever]

Who's got more heart... DeRozan or Aldridge?

[DPG21920]

:lmao well the Spurs are missing point blank layups

Yeah - all the other bull sh*t aside, if SA just finished at the rim it’s a 1 point game.

[Immortal Spur]

we need an alpha.. we use to have 4 at one time... law of averages now i guess

[TheRemix]

Blown layups, missed freebies, can't get an open shot. What a disaster

[TDomination]

I cant believe this series is going to come down to who practice layup drills more

[Kurgan]

This, how hard is it to learn to take 3 steps back and hit the more efficient shot... I mean, fucking Jokic shoots 3's as well as Derozan, wtf

Correction - he shoots them much better than Demar. Defrozen is less qualified to shoot the threeball than most nba big men.

[Chomag]

White struggling a bit because Denver coach has adjusted to disrupt him....yeah I know we don't get to see adjustments that often from our Coach so we don't realize it when we see it.

[ginobilized]

They are playing like a junior high team.....so disappointing.

Why can’t they make the Nuggets pay for blitzing, over playing the ball and double teaming.
The Spurs looked like they’d never seen this. Hope they regain their b-ball sensibility and compete.
24 mins is plenty of time.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Nuggets didnt adjust to us for 3 games and we gave away Game 2. Lets hope they give away a game to us and we figure them out soon... But knowing Poop, that wont happen

[Spurch]

Sometimes I wonder what the coach and coaching staff discuss with the players during practice and watching film bcuz it's like we come up with nothing new or no game plan, besides running the offense thru white in game 3 nothing new smh.

[TDomination]

This game is so obviously a loss.
Ball going in Denvers favor. But their simply playing better this game. At least game 6 is at home

[Kurgan]

That fucking idiot could've played his big guns heavy minutes in Game 2 and stepped on their fucking throat when they when they were ready to die. Instead he stuck to his bullshit rotations because he's a pompous asshole that has let the fact that he is the GOAT get to his fucking head. Playing his top guys regular season minutes (which are already low to begin with bc he's the genius that invented DNP-rest), throwing in the towel way too prematurely, hockey subs, etc. That's all bullshit no other coach does in the playoffs and it's something he himself would've never done early on in his coaching career.

Remember when Pop used to play TD 40 mpg? What happened to that guy?

[Mugen]

Y'all ready for my main man, Danteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Slippy]

Spurs need to pound the ball inside . Seeing way too many contested jump shots . I know LA missed 2 easy bunny layups but the fact he got there with ease is a good sign. Also pace will suit the spurs because on offense nuggs getting too many open threes

[Chomag]

To be honest Denver is throwing up a lot of prayer shots that just happen to be going in
It's called confidence which Denver now has the world of because of Pop getting cute with his coaching and pet line ups

[Capt Bringdown]

White struggling a bit because Denver coach has adjusted to disrupt him....yeah I know we don't get to see adjustments that often from our Coach so we don't realize it when we see it.

Biggest adjustment of the series. As White goes, so go the Spurs.
Has Pop even made a single adjustment this series?

[Spurs 4 The Win]

This game is so obviously a loss.
Ball going in Denvers favor. But their simply playing better this game. At least game 6 is at home

NBA will want a game 7, so should at least have the refs on our side for that one. Hopefully we show up to play.

[sananspursfan21]

Aldridge missed 3 point blank lay ins, Derozan missed 2, White missed 1, Poetl missed 1.
14 points left on the table, pathetic

All isn’t lost just yet, but we gotta start seeing some pay dirt soon or this game is done

[JeffDuncan]

Think I'll switch over and watch the Thunderefs.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

http://i66.tinypic.com/x1wqvd.jpg

[Mugen]

Monte Morris is just next in the long line of scrub backup PGs that absolutely light Patty up :lol

[Mugen]

http://i66.tinypic.com/x1wqvd.jpg

crofl

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Biggest adjustment of the series. As White goes, so go the Spurs.
Has Pop even made a single adjustment this series?

He has adjusted in this game tbh. Nothing major but I see some differences on how we are defending Jockitch and Murray.

[Ron Swanson]

Denver will get this shit up to 17-18. We'll cut it down to 8-10 multiple times but won't get over the hump. We've all seen it so many times.

[Uriel]

Our guys have become timid on offense because Pop messed with their heads by overcoaching them instead of just letting them play freely.

[DPG21920]

Monte Morris is just next in the long line of scrub backup PGs that absolutely light Patty up :lol

Patty played really well overall man. I hate saying it but its true.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

If Spurs dont get it down to 5 by 6 minutes in the third quarter, turn it off.

[Keepin' it real]

Our guys have become timid on offense because Pop messed with their heads by overcoaching them instead of just letting them play freely.

He's having fun coaching this year, so I've heard.

[Mugen]

It's not really that difficult, they had the Nuggets on the ropes in Game 2 and Pop took his foot off the gas pedal...

The Nuggets have got their groove/confidence which is all they needed as long as the series was still close....They are still the vastly more talented team so there's really not much the old fuck can do at this point. He lost the series in Game 2.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Stop with the soft ass fadeaway’s

[sasaint]

I always thought the push back on that was so strange. Literally no one here thought he was a winner when he was with the Blazers, but he suddenly "leads" the team to a 4-1 exit and less than 50 wins and he's suddenly a God. Sad where this franchise has fallen.

And now we completed the set of three stooges with Gay and DD. It's a team of losers.

It is a team of soft losers. Pop unintentionally tied his own hands by signing LMA and then doubling down on Dumbmar. He cannot get in their faces like he could the Big 3 (and consequently all their teammates). He knows that those twinkies would absolutely curl up in a fetal position. He has no idea how to coach this team. Consequently, we get the coach unable to coach his way in an emotional sense, and he relies even more on his flash-card tactics/rotations. It is literally the worst coaching scenario for Pop, and he has to realize it. But he is such a stubborn jerk that he won't change the roster or step aside.

[FkLA]

No better way to set the tone for the second half than a soft ass, ugly fadeaway. What a fucking loser.

[TimDunkem]

FADEAWAY 2S IS NOT WINNING BASKETBALL

[Raven]

they better come out with the intent to kill

[TheRemix]

A fadeaway by derozan. Smh

[daslicer]

White dick riders in thread. :lmao

:lol aka Trumpers.

[Genovaswitness]

will pop retire after this year? or will he have to coach a bit more so that he can still coach the USA team.

[TDomination]

I liked how he kicked his leg out to make sure poeltl got him

[Ron Swanson]

We get 11 minutes of Patty. That will do it.

[spurstalk123456]

It's over.

[BlackAndWhite]

It's OVER

[Spurs 4 The Win]

:lol aka Trumpers.
Take your BS political takes elsewhere

[GreekSpursfan]

Remember when Pop used to play TD 40 mpg? What happened to that guy?

Tim could actually handle it whereas White is made of glass so... yeah

[emanueldavidginobili]

This team just lacks basketball IQ lmao

[YoungbuckMurray]

Haha patty gets torched less than 1 second in

[Capt Bringdown]

Worst possible start to the 3rd

[sananspursfan21]

With the way White’s been playing, it’s better he’s sitting

[emanueldavidginobili]

Seems like Whites 36 was a fluke at this point

[Chomag]

This is now like a scrimmage game for Denver

[timtonymanu]

Pop is gonna throw in the towel soon

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Ahh yes, here we go



http://i66.tinypic.com/x1wqvd.jpg

[Spurs 4 The Win]

No intensity, no aggression, looks like they are waiting for game 6

[sasaint]

Wow, coming out flat to start the 3rd. Nobody competing much. I think Pop has lost these guys.

[davidbowie]

THIS TEAM IS ASS CHEEKS

[Immortal Spur]

we have a bunch of mentally weak players.... we need some toughness

[SpurPadre]

Your teases have been cute, Derrick but thanks for keeping that spot warm for our REAL starting PG coming back with a vengeance in 6 months.

[YoungbuckMurray]

This teams a joke

[TDomination]

I cant believe we had this kind of lead on them twice in game 2 and still lost by 9

[Spurch]

Stop with the soft ass fadeaway’s

Agreed... We have size on the nuggets but we're settling for fade aways when we should be taking them into the post

[urunobili]

This feels embarrassing TBH

[Raven]

.... yeah not good.

[DAF86]

Mills for White. That's Pop's adjustment. :lmao

[Immortal Spur]

Pop is gonna throw in the towel soon

was thinking the same thing

[BD24]

Jamal Murray taking a wet shit on white these last few games

[slick'81]

On to game 6

[Leetonidas]

Yeah this one's over. Weak ass bullshit coming out of the break.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Your teases have been cute, Derrick but thanks for keeping that spot warm for our REAL starting PG coming back with a vengeance in 6 months.

Ill believe that when I see it. Murray is a complete joke on offense and has a J that is so ugly, his momma dont even like it.

[Keepin' it real]

Seems like Whites 36 was a fluke at this point

It seemed like a fluke at that point, too. Tbh

[sananspursfan21]

You can see it on their faces. They’re moping around. I’ve got work in the morning, I’m not staying up for a game these guys don’t even believe in

[daslicer]

White is basically a rookie. He will get better from this experiences. His first 3 games he showed flashes of what he can become.

[YoungbuckMurray]

This game is over throw in Lonnie

[weebo]

Mills for White. That's Pop's adjustment. :lmao

are you watching? White sucks.

[Ron Swanson]

How do you not know where the baseline is?

[renegade]

Even if the Spurs were playing good defense (they aren't), the stubbornness of Pop to not allow a higher volume of 3 attempts just not work out statistically. It's a losing strategy. Who cares if you wish the shot doesn't exist, it does, work with it.

[r0drig0lac]

easy for Jamal Murray

[urunobili]

DeTrash Derozan

[TDomination]

Why not play Walker. Might as well get Cunningham in there too

[Chomag]

Lmao mills. Why even play on the defensive side

[FkLA]

There's that for those of you idiots that think White sucks or that it's better he sits because he's not scoring 36.

[8sy21vd]

Time for pondexter and cunningham lol

[Raven]

0 fire whatsover

[TDomination]

They gave up already

[Truth4sale$]

No adjustments. Spurs are not showing any attitude or effort. Bring in the bench and pull the starters...all of them. Their stars dont lead. DeRozan and Aldridge are not leaders.As they play, so does the rest of the team. Rather see Lonnie Walker, Cunningham and Poindexter

[sasaint]

A 19 point lead for Denver against the Spurs is like a 38-point lead. Oops, 21/42... and counting. Seemed to already have quit in the locker room before the 3rd even began.

[tholdren]

I told you all no lma more danatas

[Spurch]

We just have no answer for this team tonight, with their momentum we can call it a night

[jbspurs]

No pride, No heart!

[Robz4000]

:lol wish I could say I was looking forward to next season but knowing LMA/DeRozan/Fatty will be back with Pop coaching just fills me with rage...

[Uriel]

I fully expected the Spurs to lose Game 5. The good news is they're losing in the best possible way.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Patty Mills and Marco wouldn’t even start on This years Duke team tbh

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs have been out-scored 7 straight quarters.

[r0drig0lac]

White is basically a rookie. He will get better from this experiences. His first 3 games he showed flashes of what he can become.

according to some minds in spurstalk, White is Manu on steroids

[Quiet Strength]

Free Lonnie

[timtonymanu]

So many small time players. Why anyone thought this team had enough fight to make the 2nd round is beyond me.

[TDMVPDPOY]

game over spurms

[Spurtacular]

Our scrubs are losing to better scrubs I guess.

[FkLA]

WTF is Pop even preserving White for? You were down 13 and throw in the towel quicker than any other coach, just let him fucking play.

[Keepin' it real]

Pop is gonna throw in the towel soon

For sure, I must rest Tim, Tony and Manu for game 6. They're not spring chickens anymore.

:pop:

[Raven]

You can see it on their faces. They’re moping around. I’ve got work in the morning, I’m not staying up for a game these guys don’t even believe in

indeed

[BackHome]

Pop looks like he has a bad case of hemroids

[TDomination]

Murray cant get here fast enough to replace mills. Please be gone next year mills. Keep Forbes, trade/cut/waive mills I dont care.

[skin27]

White is basically a rookie. He will get better from this experiences. His first 3 games he showed flashes of what he can become.


He’s a sophomore..he already played last season..

[rastaspur]

Pitiful effort. This team has no real heart. Sad.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Well it's been fun. Off season is going to be nice to DDR get traded, Pop retire and starts a decade of crap and we lose talent like Murray and White.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

:lol @ letting scrub Murrary continue to feast on the 3s

Fuck this garbage, gutless team

[SASdynasty!]

Worst Spurs team I’ve seen since the mid-90’s.

[Dennis the Menace]

Patty “50” Mills

[Chomag]

Team gave up on Pop, not sure if I blame them

[tp2021]

A lottery pick looks a lot better right now than our 22 season playoff streak tbh.

[sasaint]

Pop is gonna throw in the towel soon

The players already have.

[Spurtacular]

:lol wish I could say I was looking forward to next season but knowing LMA/DeRozan/Fatty will be back with Pop coaching just fills me with rage...

Kawhi leaving fucked us. This was inevitable. Fuck Kawhi.

[Trainwreck2100]

WTF is Pop even preserving White for? You were down 13 and throw in the towel quicker than any other coach, just let him fucking play.

he's got 4 fouls

[GreekSpursfan]

We pay Derozan 27m and two more years with the same amount per year. TANK PLS.

[superbigtime]

Jesus how depressing. I thought this team liked each other and drinking coffee and dressing cool. Wtf. Wimps

[DAF86]

Great adjustment Pop. Changing the one lineup that was working for us all series long. That's some top notch, on the fly, coaching manouvering, tbh.

[TimDunkem]

Even if the Spurs were playing good defense (they aren't), the stubbornness of Pop to not allow a higher volume of 3 attempts just not work out statistically. It's a losing strategy. Who cares if you wish the shot doesn't exist, it does, work with it.Ironic since GS copied his forumla.

Zigging when the league is zagging worked when you had hall of famers. He probably knows it, but his ego won't allow him to abandon "the Spurs way" he created. Trading the losers you just promised a home would look bad.

[TDomination]

So many small time players. Why anyone thought this team had enough fight to make the 2nd round is beyond me.

The small flashes they showed in the regular season and even this series always gave us false hope

[Ron Swanson]

Just waiting for Pop to get ejected now.

[sasaint]

A very animated Pop describing to Messina which wine to order at the after game meal.

[808]

Poetl is the only one who gives a fuck

[daslicer]

according to some minds in spurstalk, White is Manu on steroids

Any young PG/SG that plays good will be anointed as either the next Manu or Parker in here. White's style of play is totally different than Manu. The comparisons were stupid to begin with. I'm sure next year we will have some people in here clamoring how Lonnie is the next Manu.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Team gave up on Pop, not sure if I blame them

Yup. Asshole gave away an easy sweep and possible path to wcf. Fucking moron

[AusSpur]

Pop done being outcoached by Scotty Brooks in the playoffs, now being outcoached by Malone.

I want to leave this quote for Pop to read one day:


“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

[Dancelot]

:lol wish I could say I was looking forward to next season but knowing LMA/DeRozan/Fatty will be back with Pop coaching just fills me with rage...
Nah dude, LMA is gonna ask for that trade again, I guarantee it...because none of this teams poor play stems from him whatsoever.

[sasaint]

Just waiting for Pop to get ejected now.

The Holts need to eject him.

[Spurs da champs]

Patty is getting murdered out there. :lmao

[SpurPadre]

I seriously believe had Manu played this season, he would've started in this series at some point.

[jbspurs]

If only dribbles can win games, Spurs will be number 1

[Raven]

it's also a really bad game to watch

[Shakril]

Mills has no business beeing on the court. He individually has cost the Spurs at least 10 points alone. His Defense is non existent, his offense is more turnover prone than ever and he defintly is not a leader.

[Chomag]

Now they are just getting embarrassed

[Hoops Czar]

Then maybe they should try broadcasting their most competitive first round series on national TV, tbh.
Define competitiveness.

[skin27]

That’s why regular season matters guys..lol

[ducks]

Pop should have left white in fucking liberal

[BackHome]

You Are What Your Record Is.

[KimmyGib]

Hate to say it, but I'm checkin' out guys. See ya for game 6.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

No team will take Patty for a handful of pocket lint at this point.

[FkLA]

he's got 4 fouls
'
No shit. But they were already down 13, what is he saving him for?

[808]

I don't think I'm getting a spur for the game prediction...

[daslicer]

He’s a sophomore..he already played last season..

Reading comprehension. I said "White is BASICALLY a rookie." He hardly played last year. This year was his first real year getting minutes and experience.

[RD2191]

Nuggets by 20

Tbh :wakeup predictable bums. Scrubs. Embarrassed to be a Spurs fan right now.

[Raven]

that was a pity and one

[GreekSpursfan]

There is zero comparison between Murray and White. Murray is significantly better than White at this point and time

[SuperCam]

Add Malone to list of mediocre minds who have outdueled poop in the ppayoffs, tbh

[timtonymanu]

The small flashes they showed in the regular season and even this series always gave us false hope

They probably should have won this series but the entire team doesn't have enough heart or leadership. LMA/Derozan/Rudy are all small time players. The team shouldn't be relying on a 2nd year player as their leader and engine.

[sananspursfan21]

This is the version of this team that got curb stomped by the Suns and Knicks tbh

[TDomination]

This blowout was so predictable.

The nuggets found their offense. Ours is nowhere to be seen

[emanueldavidginobili]

This game is over spurs don’t have the defense nor the 3 point shooting to make a come back

[DAF86]

Define competitiveness.

This game is still a lot more competitive than the other two that were going on tonight. Good try though, son. :lol

[Uriel]

We had this series won in Game 2 :lol

[RD2191]

Pop getting schooled by yet another bum ass coach. Embarrassing.

[Nuggets!]

Spurs are a #7 seed for a reason...just sayin, don't hate me bro!

[jbspurs]

Fuck Mills!

[TDomination]

This is the version of this team that got curb stomped by the Suns and Knicks tbh

I'm surprised it took this long to rear its ugly head

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

We had this series won in Game 2 :lol

Amazing isn't it, but not surprised at all

[TimDunkem]

This blowout was so predictable.

The nuggets found their offense. Ours is nowhere to be seen

Well, when you shoot nothing but fadeaway 2s and have only one PG you insist on sitting for Shitty Meals cause culture...than yeah. It's not surprising.

[Capt Bringdown]

Tbh :wakeup predictable bums. Scrubs. Embarrassed to be a Spurs fan right now.

Denver has taken over. They're the better team.

[BackHome]

Bring Over Nikola

[Genovaswitness]

spurs are thoroughly cucked. when did our team culture deteriorate so badly

[r0drig0lac]

Any young PG/SG that plays good will be anointed as either the next Manu or Parker in here. White's style of play is totally different than Manu. The comparisons were stupid to begin with. I'm sure next year we will have some people in here clamoring how Lonnie is the next Manu.

this is obvious, you do not really need to explain (to me) The point is that many were acting as if White were one of the best players in the league and a star, what is happening now is a real shock of reality for a lot of people..

[Raven]

this has the looks of a 40 point loss

[Uriel]

Nuggets have much more swagger than the Spurs. We look weak.

[daslicer]

This series pretty much summed up the spurs season. They were Jekyll and Hyde all year and that was the same for this series.

[SuperCam]

And some of youbdumb fucks think White has star potential in this league :lol

[YoungbuckMurray]

Can you just put Lonnie in

[spurraider21]

That fucking idiot could've played his big guns heavy minutes in Game 2
cool. we're in game 5.

lets say we won game 2, and were up 3-1 right now.

denver had a commanding lead at the end of the first half. i still maintain that there arent that many buttons pop can push. derozan/aldridge/white are shitting the bed. whats he supposed to do?

[sasaint]

:lol wish I could say I was looking forward to next season but knowing LMA/DeRozan/Fatty will be back with Pop coaching just fills me with rage...

Makes me so sick I taste it in the back of my throat.

[Ron Swanson]

The jersey retirement ceremony for Mills is going to be a blast. A few highlights of shots from 2014 and a bunch of clips of him getting his doors blown off on defense.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

This guy's are nowhere near on the same page...

[boutons_deux]

-22 with 18 mins left

[timtonymanu]

Nuggets will blow these guys out in Game 6 too. There's no adjustments that can be made, Denver figured them out.

[TDomination]

I will consider this game a success if this makes pop realize he can longer play mills anymore.

But that's a pipe dream

[Immortal Spur]

i can't watch this... see y'all next game. I should've known this game was over when the team was dilusional about this being an effort thing.

[Capt Bringdown]

LMA scared to shoot, LOL

[SASdynasty!]

Lol and we thought we didn’t need Tony Parker. Dude would have eaten Murray for lunch unlike these losers.

[Chomag]

Denver going for the jugular now

[DAF86]

Eww, it's kind of cringy watching Aldridge out there.

[Kurgan]

Lamarsha killed the big three era. It was a bad sign when he demanded a trade because he wasn't getting enough touches despite the team winning 67 games. Pop had to grovel and appease the selfish loser that put his own stats above the success of the team. This should have been a warning sign that Pop was losing his grip on the locker room. As soon as Kawhi bolted, they should have looked to trade him for picks. Instead they accepted the Toronto shit sandwich and acquired the worst "star" in the league. Spurs will be stuck in treadmill hell for the remainder of Derozan's awful contract...Unable to contend and unable to do a clean rebuild. Fodder for contenders and pretenders alike.

[SuperCam]

Trading kiwi for DeCancer instead of Harris and SGA :lol

[BackHome]

If I am Pop I am playing the starters the whole game. Do not let them hide on the bench they need to own this shit

[sananspursfan21]

It’s depressing. No fight. No desire.

[Capt Bringdown]

Fucking Murray having a good laugh on the bench.

[Immortal Spur]

This series pretty much summed up the spurs season. They were Jekyll and Hyde all year and that was the same for this series.

yup

[timtonymanu]

spurs are thoroughly cucked. when did our team culture deteriorate so badly

when they made the 8th man from the 2014 team take the reigns

[TimDunkem]

LMA scared to shoot, LOL

Remember when he said he would work on his outside shot? :lol

[boutons_deux]

spurs 7 pts in 7 mins in the 3rd

[DAF86]

cool. we're in game 5.

lets say we won game 2, and were up 3-1 right now.

denver had a commanding lead at the end of the first half. i still maintain that there arent that many buttons pop can push. derozan/aldridge/white are shitting the bed. whats he supposed to do?

lol son. We win that game and it's a sweep.

[timtonymanu]

Eww, it's kind of cringy watching Aldridge out there.

People scoff at :lol Aldridge is not winning ball but I never doubted that for a minute. Never disappoints in the playoffs.

[SuperCam]

Lol and we thought we didn’t need Tony Parker. Dude would have eaten Murray for lunch unlike these losers.

Play Boban owned :lol

[Shakril]

Pop gave up on this game. Poeltl out Mills stays in.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Pop getting schooled by yet another bum ass coach. Embarrassing.

To be honest when your players are this bad it's not hard. No heart or overall team work

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Yep I'm done. This shit is unwatchable

[RD2191]

What a garbage ass team tbh :lol

[GreekSpursfan]

We have to get through this stage of being trash. No team can be great for ever. If we don't tank we're gonna stay irrelevant for the foreseeable future. Too much luck is involved if you draft outside the lottery.
Hoping White will become something, hoping Murray will evolve and be better than before his injury. We can't rely on hope and luck, we need at least one sure thing.

[r0drig0lac]

Nuggets will blow these guys out in Game 6 too. There's no adjustments that can be made, Denver figured them out.
like thunder 2012, more physical, more athletic, etc, etc.

[TimDunkem]

when they made the 8th man from the 2014 team take the reigns
Ugh.

[YoungbuckMurray]

That’s what happens when you shoot low percentage 2’s and have 0 athleticism

[TDomination]

This series pretty much summed up the spurs season. They were Jekyll and Hyde all year and that was the same for this series.

Yup. Even within the same game.

[sasaint]

spurs are thoroughly cucked. when did our team culture deteriorate so badly

It started when we signed LMA.

But what is the point of hanging on to 50 Mills if this is the outcome of his being the standard bearer of Spurs culture?

[Capt Bringdown]

spurs 7 pts in 7 mins in the 3rd

Denver's a better team, but not THAT much better.
Spurs have given up on each other.

[blah28]

I don't know why Pop doesn't give Lonnie some run with the starters

[BillMc]

Start Manu in Game 6.

[Nathan89]

Trading kiwi for DeCancer instead of Harris and SGA :lol

Not sure what was on the table but we certainly pick one of the worst options.

[superbigtime]

I found Rocky on the movie channel. Adios losers.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

Fucking Murray having a good laugh on the bench.

Was watching that. Instagram dumbass. Things are so funny watching his team get their asses handed to them smh

[Slippy]

Interesting to see DJ on the bench all smiles. I ain't smiling at the tv screen. Denver Herb is good?

[BackHome]

It’s not just LMA is the whole team including POP only player not getting a F is Poodle.

[sananspursfan21]

Calling it a night. I’m a fan through and through, but this is pathetic. Just pouting. I’m sorry, but these are world class athletes. Have some pride. Going down with a fight at least gives some hope and a sliver of momentum for game 6. Finishing the game like this is a death sentence.

I’ll sacrifice sleep for a win or a hard fought game any day, but this makes me want to vomit

[Hoops Czar]

Pop done being outcoached by Scotty Brooks in the playoffs, now being outcoached by Malone.

I want to leave this quote for Pop to read one day:


“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”

Got outcoached by Billy Donovan and Avery Johnson as well but he's an all-time GOAT! HarlemHeat37 :lol
