Game Thread: Spurs vs. Knicks - Oct. 23, 2019 @ 7:30 PM CT (3:30 AM RIGA) - Regular Season Opener

[sasaint]

Barrett looks legit.

[GusT15]

I’m actually digging Lyles

Lyles gave a good effort on defense tonight,it means he's focused and wants to actually make the best of his last NBA chance.

Now the only thing he must do is find his shooting again (and he can shoot the 3,skill wise) and we'll have a stretch 4 who can play defense on switches.

[KobesAchilles]

I’m so glad Patty Mills found a way to chuck up 11 shots in 16 minutes of play. I was actually worried that those shots would go to White instead. Phew

[Rosewood]

Foul Foul Foul Foul Foul Foul Foul Foul

Basketball fucking sucks now jfc

[tmtcsc]

The trash is strong with Derozan.

[sasaint]

Game isn't over. Spurs need to step on their throats.

That shows no respect for the opponent or the game.

[Mugen]

Betting on opening night games? You brave. The first 5-8 games of the season are fucking chaotic. :lol

Brave? No. Dumb? You fucking bet your ass, Cry.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Looks like DePression is still the same faggot from last season that goes into chucker mode in crunchtime bc he thinks he's some kind of closer. :rolleyes



You've gotta wonder if he's pouting because he didn't get his max extension. If he is, he'll probably be that way all season.

[lefty20]

Gonna need Dijon back in there to close this shit lmao

[paperboy77]

Damn that Ref #84 not too bad lookin.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Heh. Run out the clock and I win.

First year, first time starter in the Spurs system - he looked very good to me.

[MannyIsGod]

:cry take us home Demar :cry

I mean....he kinda did.

[raybies]

Mugen happy mugen sad

[Chomag]

A win against a non playoff team that's depleted is still a win.

[Kurgan]

Demar statpadding in garbage time. Lonnie(or any young player) should be playing in these situations but Derozan's got to get his numbers. Selfish piece of shit.

[FkLA]

Get Depression, Wombat, and Belli the fuck off my team and I'll be a happy camper, tbh.

[TDomination]

Dj best player without a doubt

[FkLA]

I mean....he kinda did.

:lmao

[Mugen]

crofl I knew it'd be fucking Morris

[Robz4000]

Knicks are always tough for the Spurs for whatever reason. Good win.

[DAF86]

Any win is a good win this season, tbh.

[sasaint]

You've gotta wonder if he's pouting because he didn't get his max extension. If he is, he'll probably be that way all season.

That’s okay - just not in a Spurs uniform.

[DAF86]

And fuck Morris.

[BatManu20]

Glad we didn’t lose to those chodes. Good finish. First game of these season so can’t be too upset, but this team has a lot things they need to clean up. Only reason that game was even competitive was because of the turnovers.

[Slippy]

Demar waking up and limiting T0s to 1 in the 4th certainly helps.

Lyles as a starter is working. His D and rebounds were vital. Just can't be shy when he's open.

[BillMc]

victory:flag:

[TDomination]

Get Depression, Wombat, and Belli the fuck off my team and I'll be a happy camper, tbh.

Id be ecstatic

[paperboy77]

Pops an asshole for not playing Lonnie though. Is it really gonna kill you to let the guy get some action? This is how it's going to go this year.

[MannyIsGod]

Turnovers were the whole story. Once they stopped the game was over. Pretty good showing from most of the team tbh. DeMar trash through 3 quarters but that was a good 4th.

No idea why Marco is ahead of Lonnie bib the rotation but I hope that's not a long term thing.

Dj is the fucking truth.

[spurraider21]

DJ is our future.
and our present, tbh

[TDomination]

Glad we didn’t lose to those chodes. Good finish. First game of these season so can’t be too upset, but this team has a lot things they need to clean up. Only reason that game was even competitive was because of the turnovers.

first thing to clean up, the minutes distribution between Marco and walker.

[GusT15]

Well,at least we won.

DJ with the 18/8/6/3 in 24mins is enough of a reason for me to be satisfied.

Spurs need work but the talent isn't as lacking as it seems at first glance.We're definitely better than last year by a mile,roster wise.

[spurraider21]

Which one of these Knicks is gonna fuck me and my Spurs -10.5 bet :lol


Morris, of course.
:lmao it happened

[Degoat]

Patty is frustrating AF but belinelli is what really pisses me off, I'd low key ask to be traded if I was Lonnie lol

[SpurPadre]

We would've been curbstomped and then ass-rammed by the Clips today but a dub is a dub and it feels good to do it in our Fuck You Morris game. It's a marathon not a sprint, tbh.

[poopbox]

Marco over Lonnie is criminal...

LMA inability to play fast is going to be the thing that holds this team back...

[timtonymanu]

Is Mills and Beli the most infuriating duo Pop has ever put in the rotation? May be recency bias so other good contenders were Bonner/Blair, Jefferson/Finley, Finley/Mason etc.

[Kurgan]

You've gotta wonder if he's pouting because he didn't get his max extension. If he is, he'll probably be that way all season.

Of course he's bitter. His previous team dumped him and won a title with his replacement. His current team told him to his face that he's not worth a max contract. He has an even bigger chip on his shoulder this season and it's entirely his own fault. Maybe modeling your game after that rapist on the Lakers wasn't such a good idea.

[ezau]

FO just built what seems to be a very deep and talented lineup. DJ is super efficient and Bryn has improved a lot. This season's gonna be fun.

[gambit1990]

demar had more turnovers than made shots :lol

some of y'all didn't wanna trade him last season :lol

[Prime BEEF]

Exactly right.

It was that shitshow at the end of the 2nd quarter that set the stage.

[Down Under]

21 turnover in the first 3 quarters killed us. Was brutal to watch.

[Degoat]

I'm still disappointed pop isn't playing Murray and White together but maybe he's waiting too I guess

[daslicer]

We would've been curbstomped and then ass-rammed by the Clips today but a dub is a dub and it feels good to do it in our Fuck You Morris game. It's a marathon not a sprint, tbh.

Who gives a shit. Enjoy the win stop being obsessed with #2.

[Russ]

I can tell it's getting late . . .

[Kurgan]

Nah, without LMA this team has no credible big man. Derozan's inability to play offball is gonna handicap the squad. Imagine if we had a true floor spacer like Beal in his place.

[SpurPadre]

Just not for your boy CP3 or Westbrook.

And i'm not even talking about CP3's or Westbrook's value or contract.
But we have a Point Guard.His name is DeJounte Murray.

[Spurs fever]

I hope this doesn't hurt Lonnie's confidence. He worked his ass all summer.

[Mr. Body]

Wow, ugly as fuck game, but that's okay. A lot of growth to come. It took the team a while last year to start gelling. Murray needs to tighten the handles, but looks great. Once DDR settled down, he was a good facilitator. Lyle actually impressed me. He could be a good platoon guy, especially if he can clean the boards.

[poopbox]

Nah, without LMA this team has no credible big man. Derozan's inability to play offball is gonna handicap the squad. Imagine if we had a true floor spacer like Beal in his place.

LMA can't score consistently unless we run the LMA offense which is everyone standing around doing nothing and watching him...

He can't do simple things like catch it and pass to an open man...or really pass the ball at all...he doesn't step out to the 3 point line to create space for a driving guard...or really make himself presentable to a driving guard in any way shape or form...

He doesn't really catch and shoot anymore...

I'm not a Derozan fan but I am not worried about him playing within the flow of the offense...looked bad for 3 quarters but he will figure it out...he had times when he was deadly last year if you surrounded him with shooters...

Here is a question...when was the last time we got an open 3 off a LMA double team?

[lefty20]

Walker taking Beli's minutes is inevitable. Spurs wouldn't have shut him down early in SL if they were planning on stashing him at the end of the bench or in G League all year.

[cjw]

As brutal as third bigs have been over the past few years (the Ayres and Lauvergnes of the world), Lyles looks like a real contributor. Yes, it’s early but a much much better fit. He can actually play the sport.

[Chucho]

Lordy, if DJ is even 75% as good against real teams as he was tonight, the Spurs might have signed the best contract in the league, dollar for dollar.

[TDomination]

Walker taking Beli's minutes is inevitable. Spurs wouldn't have shut him down early in SL if they were planning on stashing him at the end of the bench or in G League all year.
This I believe.

but it’s a matter of when and how many games is it going to take before pop finally makes the switch

[gambit1990]

We did want to trade him.

spurs would be better with cp3 or WB instead of demar. WB is shooting guard... and even though cp3 is a pure PG, he wouldn't get in the way of murray / and he would make the spurs' offense pretty.

i'd do demar, patty, rudy, 1st round pick for cp3 and adams.

cp3 / murray / someone :lol / la / adams

[daslicer]

Did you not read the rest of the post? Triggered, tbh.

Like I said before stop being obsessed with #2. There is a separate thread for that bs. Spurs won and you still had to bring up the clippers.

[Ditty]

This team fucking sucks. I hope we don’t make the playoffs and Pop finally retires at the end of the season.

[stu scotts eye]

Trey Lyles.

Looks like that next Spurs player who gets so much PT, but literally does nothing. Looks slow. Not aggressive on offense or defense. But manages to win Pop over for some reason.

Reminds me of a less aggressive Kyle Anderson. The 2019 version of Dante Cunningham. Or Austin Daye.

[SpurPadre]

Really encouraging game from Lyles. Nice job on the glass and a solid presence down low on both ends. He has plenty of room to grow too.

[SpurPadre]

"but a dub is a dub and it feels good to do it in our Fuck You Morris game. It's a marathon not a sprint, tbh."

Reading is fundamental. Straight triggered, tbh. Enjoy the win and stop cherry-picking with fellow Spurs fans.

[raybies]

i really liked Lyles game as well. Solid role playing. He's much more mobile and versatile than Poetl and can do the same things offensively. So far he fits the starting lineup and allows poodle to dominate benches with a more pass friendly bench unit.

[Mugen]

Interested in how the following shakes out tbh....

-How long can Pop keep Murray/White from sharing the court
-How long can Pop keep playing his guy Beli and keep a legit NBA player / potential stud in Lonnie handing out gatorades
-Lamarcus and Poetl can't play together, which sucks cuz I think Jak should get more than 15mins a game
-How many games will it take for Pop/Spurfan to realize that Trey Lyles sucks

[SpurPadre]

i really liked Lyles game as well. Solid role playing. He's much more mobile and versatile than Poetl and can do the same things offensively. So far he fits the starting lineup and allows poodle to dominate benches with a more pass friendly bench unit.

He may very well prove to be more valuable to us than Bertans.

[GusT15]

i'd do demar, patty, rudy, 1st round pick for cp3 and adams.

cp3 / murray / someone :lol / la / adams

WB is a guard that can't shoot the ball effectively from long range.WB and Murray cannot be on the floor together.Plus he's too expensive.

CP3 would probably make the Spurs a better team this year instead of DeMar.This year.
The next two years in 2021 and 2022,that $42M per would destroy our cap space.We didn't get the Murray bargain of a contract to overpay CP3.

(And in your scenario i'd want CP3 and Gallo,not CP3 and Adams)

[R. DeMurre]

Still don't understand why Murray & White wouldn't be on the floor together as your two best defenders when you have the lead late in the 4th...

It's like Pop has a rule now that there must be at least one poor defender on the court at all times.

[daslicer]

"but a dub is a dub and it feels good to do it in our Fuck You Morris game. It's a marathon not a sprint, tbh."

You brought up the Clippers in your original post. It's obvious you are obsessed with #2. If you weren't you wouldn't have said anything about the Clippers in your post. I just find it pathetic that's why I pointed it out.

[raybies]

He may very well prove to be more valuable to us than Bertans.
Love Bertans but he is a tweener in a bad way. He's a one trick pony albeit elite at it but Lyles can actually defend and has some switch ability. If you won't buy that take then here's this one... he's a much better rebounder. Bertans was near the bottom in that regard. Today Lyles had what 11? If he can just hit around league average at three and that's a stretch, he could be a serious piece moving forward. If not, soon enough teams are gonna start cheating a lot and hurt his chances at playing more with the starting 5.

[TDomination]

[SpurPadre]

It's like Pop has a rule now that there must be at least one poor defender on the court at all times.

And both Murray and White are both trying to prove that they can make long distance shots consistently too. Playing them together is a sign telling them that they can be trusted on both ends and not be some kind of liability. They have to be given that chance eventually.

[SpurPadre]

You brought up the Clippers in your original post. It's obvious you are obsessed with #2. If you weren't you wouldn't have said anything about the Clippers in your post. I just find it pathetic that's why I pointed it out.

It's pathetic to want to measure your team against the presumed best team in the league?! Ok, dude...

[Dejounte]

Lyles was decent but lacks some fundamentals... Some boneheaded plays like that moving screen and dumb reach in. Other than that he seems to be at the right place at the right time most of the time. If he can work on better defensive positioning and putting his arms up over defenders in the post... He will be a really good role player.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Nobody mentioned it, but the Spurs got sent to the line 36 times, compared to 18 for the Knicks. Not saying they didn't deserve it, but there was a 16 point differential in FT's.

[daslicer]

It's pathetic to want to measure your team against the presumed best team in the league?! Ok, dude...

It is pretty pathetic. You can't enjoy a win without being obsessed with getting revenge on #2. You are going to be in a world of pain if you expect the Spurs to compete with the Clippers this year. The way I measure the Spurs is by watching how the young guys are playing and developing. This team is work in progress and are not a title contender right now. Unfortunately the Clippers are right now. My only hope for this team is to get 50 wins and let the chips fall as they may.

You gotta factor in Lamarcus playing in a crowd with his own teammate in Demar leading the way. It's alot harder to do the simple things in basketball. Floor spacing is king in todays nba. Theres only one legit spacer on that starting unit in Bryn.

Your concerns are valid but you lost me at Demar figuring it out. I call it waking up, enough with the pouting. He should be off the bench

[TheCerebral1]

Nice game from DJM. Glad he's back, as for the ugly, DeRozan looked like garbage tonight.

[FkLA]

Who is RodgerWilco on ST.
Or are there just so many? :lol

Game 1 of the season and he's the heart and soul of this team! Time for him to take over this season.

Exactly. That stint was awesome to watch because Patty seemed like he was trying to lift the entire team. Can't wait to watch him and Patrick Beverley duel.

During our stint he was the only one attempting to keep everyone spirits up and showed up on the defensive and offensive end of the floor. Too bad you only watch the 4Q



smh

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

I hope this doesn't hurt Lonnie's confidence. He worked his ass all summer.He probably got lit up by Beli in camp and that's why his ass is on the bench.

Do you see any shooters on this roster? We were one of the worst three point shooting teams last year in terms of volume. Besides, Raptors tried the "surround Derozan with shooters" gimmick and it resulted in nothing but regular season paper tigers that flamed out of the playoffs year after year.

[dbestpro]

White starting at PG with Murray at SG would do wonders in cutting down the turnovers. White just controls a game better and would limit DDRs hogging the ball.

[poopbox]

He's playing in a crowd because he is to dumb to get out the way and doesn't have enough natural feel for the game to know when somebody is going to shoot or not...

I just don't think you can win in todays nba at the highest level featuring a ball stopper on offense who generates virtually no open shots for anyone else on the team due to his horrible passing...

Hopefully after next year the nightmare can be over and Luka is ready to take over at the 4 or 5

[timtonymanu]

Holy shit! That place is the complete opposite of Spurs talk. I guess Spurs talk is where all the assholes are at.

Yeah we’re assholes on here but literally any sane fan can see how much Patty is dogshit night in and night out.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Midgame it was posted that NY was getting F'd by SpurRef.

Any thoughts on overall game?


I thought it was part of the Knicks' plan to ugly up the game, and a lot of those calls were the result. I think it's part of the reason the Spurs committed 21 TO's, and how the Knicks came up with 16 STL's. It's actually not a bad game plan, if you're a weak team like NY - especially in the first few games of the season. You frustrate ball handlers, you take shooters out of rhythm, and sometimes you just wear down the refs because they don't like to look like they have taken over a game.

The Spurs shot their FT's really well. I don't know what their final FT% was, but I don't remember many misses other than DDR. When you get down to it, the Spurs won the game at the FT line tonight.



The Spurs don't really foul much.

Oh, I know. And like I said above, I think the Knicks game plan made the excessive fouls pretty much inevitable. I was just pointing out that it was an important but overlooked factor in the final score.

[dabom7]

It was me who called out DJ was a star in the making!

[heyheymymy]

I'm looking for him to be what you described but he was pleasantly otherwise tonight

[Fireball]

I just love scrolling through the whole game threat after having watched the replay of the game. Those ups and downs in emotions, the love for Dejounte, the hate for Pop, Mills and Belli ... ist funny :lol

- Murray was awesome ... i hate the Westbrook flexing after every action but I guess thats the way it is. more minutes will come for him when the condition comes back ... knee-wise there should be no problem ... when an acl injury is healed its healed ...

- damn Derozan was only facilitating in the first half ... to the opponent ... it seemed he wants to play the closer for the Spurs but apart from getting fouled he did not get important buckets in the 4th

- White needs to be more aggressive ... its clear that Murray is the starter and some of the coaches obviously know what they are doing

- No Lonnie was expected, but it sucks ...

- No Carroll was surprising ... looking at the Knicks I had the feeling the Spurs were playing against 5 forwards all the time, it could not have hurt to try out Carroll instead of Belli ... I mean he is a veteran and over himself I hope

happy with the W :flag:

[ZeusWillJudge]

[Manu20]

Going to be a fun seeing Murray evolve as a player, he definitely has the tools to become an All Star. Still don't understand how can Pop be avoiding at all cost to not play White and Murray at the same time.

PS: Saw the game with the Spurs feed on league pass and no mention of TD, did see him on the bench but I thought it was odd that the camera crew did not focus on Tim a couple of times!

[r0drig0lac]

the leader is already the best player in the team, impressive

[SpurPadre]

Just curious, has Pop said anything about what he said to Morris at the end of the game?

'What twin are you?'

[RC_Drunkford]

Just curious, has Pop said anything about what he said to Morris at the end of the game?

no but this is what Morris said


"It was a great moment. Going back and like I said in the beginning, me and Pop had open conversations the entire time. And the thing he said to me was don't allow the media to come in between of what we talked about," Morris said. "That meant a lot. I didn't know how he felt. I spoke to him after I made my decision. So it was good to clear the air and I got nothing but respect for him, Brian Wright, RC. They've been nothing but good to me during my career."

[SpurPadre]

no but this is what Morris said

Thanks. I know this isn't happening but it would be so ironic if the Knicks wind up being so bad this season that they end up trading him to us by the deadline. Mills for Morris?

[ismael-robert]

By Dec even better

[tbdog]

Thanks. I know this isn't happening but it would be so ironic if the Knicks wind up being so bad this season that they end up trading him to us by the deadline. Mills for Morris?

You've gotta wonder if he's pouting because he didn't get his max extension. If he is, he'll probably be that way all season.

we can only hope this leads to him tearing his ACL, achilles, etc
