Game Thread: Spurs at Wizards - Nov. 20, 2019 @ 6:00pm CT

[timvp]

Early game. The Spurs will be trying to avoid extending their losing streak to seven games.

[Darius Bieber]

Need this game to be one of those where the Spurs get back in a rhythm. If we managed to lose this one to the Wizards, might as well dump the season

[RC_Drunkford]

Wizards by 20

[TDomination]

pop should play the bench first that way we go up by 20, then the starters come in to relieve them and we will end up tied but then finish the game with the bench that way we end up on top.

[Russ]

Early game. The Spurs will be trying to avoid extending their losing streak to seven games.

All good (and bad) things must come to an end.

Spurs got this one guaranteed.

Forbes versus Bradley Beal. I can hardly wait.

[r0drig0lac]

Forbes versus Bradley Beal. I can hardly wait.

Beal last 10: 31/4/7 in 48/36/83 .... going to 40 tonight

[BatManu20]

If we lose this one to one of the 3 worst teams in the league, and make it 7 losses in a row, then.... nothing will change.




:flag:

[Shakril]

Wiz win if starting 5 are the same, Spurs have a chance if they start Poeltl (because of defensiv issues starters have).

[timtonymanu]

Let’s go Wizards!’

[DPG21920]

OP starting threads like Amused and hiring him to write and he wonders why things are going wrong :lmao

[SuperCam]

Spur might win if Poop gets distracted at some trump protest outside the impeachment hearings and forgets to show up tonight tbh

Lyles certainly hasn't been the same since I wrote about him!

[FutureMan]

Fun fact, if we lose this one it be the longest losing streak for the Spurs since 1997

[DPG21920]

:lol

Lyles certainly hasn't been the same since I wrote about him!

Hey, doesn’t change the way I feel about you friend, it’s just that you have a massive jinx hanging over you.

[slick'81]

Well we got the worst team in the east tonight...so no excuses

[Robz4000]

Wiz take it in the final seconds after the Spurs fail to get a stop with the Forbes/Mills/Beli defensive trio and DePression gets blocked at the rim/commits a dumb foul.

[DPG21920]

I’m telling you, this is potentially setup very badly for SA. Wizards have statistically a top 3 offense in the league. Spurs defense is close to last. It’s not a good matchup despite WAS being awful as a whole.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Hey, doesn’t change the way I feel about you friend, it’s just that you have a massive jinx hanging over you.

All good buddy, the jinx is a medical thing at this point :lol

[weeks]

"Just be thankful for the Golden Years. Pop doesn't owe you anything."

We've been successful for many years, it's okay to let someone else have a turn

[RC_Drunkford]

People forget that this team can't win on the road. Spurs can't even win home games. I mean they had to get a stop on the last possession to beat the Wiz at home, so there's no reason to think they will win this

[Dverde]

Streak ends tonight boys! Multiple sources!

[Genovaswitness]

We've been successful for many years, it's okay to let someone else have a turn

Thats an old man way of thinking. We wouldnt be in this position had PATFO made LOB moves in 2017

If Pop starts Mills and Bryn :lmao. I am really hoping it’s Mills/Murray..

[EasyMoney]

At least he is changing the lineup. But please bench Bryn.

[slick'81]

If Pop starts Mills and Bryn :lmao. I am really hoping it’s Mills/Murray..


Of course its bryn:smokin pop hasnt lost his damn mind and patty sure as hell cant play pg

[r0drig0lac]

if this change takes Forbes out of rotation, I'm fine.

[Gorepopovich]

Mills-Forbes-Derozan-LA-Poeltl? :eyebrows

[Dejounte]

Patty and Bryn both starting lmao

[slick'81]

if this change takes Forbes out of rotation, I'm fine.

it has

[emanueldavidginobili]

I’m sure it’s going to be Bryn starting with Patty unfortunately. I guess DJ is going to be that spark off the bench and run the second unit.

[Gibbz]

Dejounte not starting... :drunk

[slick'81]

Poodle power is fckn bck ladies and gents!!

[DPG21920]

Spurs have one of the worst defenses in the league and Pop starts Mills/Bryn/DeRozan :lmao

So White breaks out and he moves him to the bench next season. Murray gets back and paid, then demoted to bench. Lonnie gets yanked and chastised and no one else does. Pop doing wonders to nurture the youth!

[timvp]

If it's Patty and Bryn, I'm hitching a ride with Mugen to Hot Topic.

[timtonymanu]

As much as I hate on Wombat, he really is one of the few players playing well this year but lol @ the defense being even worse in the backcourt. Maybe starting Jakob should help a bit though. We will see lol.

[timvp]

DPG21920, you have any extra makeup I can put on if it's Patty and Bryn?

[Jordan Jackson]

Team ranked 28 in defensive efficiency starting Patty and Bryn lol

This is going to be entertaining or embarrassing. Beal might go for career high tonight.

[slick'81]

People bitching @bryn about to get a double dose of wombat/curry lite

[timvp]

Murray, Mills, DeRozan, Alridge and Poeltl = Pretty good


Mills, Forbes, DeRozan, Aldridge and Poeltl = Welp, it was a good ride

:lol

[Leetonidas]

I'm going to laugh my ass off if he put Mills in place of Murray :lmao :lmao and i can almost guarantee he did because Mills is our only other "PG" and white is out

[Dejounte]

DPG21920, you have any extra makeup I can put on if it's Patty and Bryn?

Its already confirmed

Mills will shut down it

[DPG21920]

Good news is Hot Topic always has insane deals! It’s like buy one edgelord shirt get 3 free. It’s insane!

My continued hope for all these minutes going to fatty mills and beli smelly is because they are being showcased for a trade...

Mills, Forbes, Derozan starting. Hahaha this has to be a structured Tank job

If this is an attempt to actually succeed can we just fire the entire front office at this point? They don’t have a clue

[DPG21920]

Only took less than 15 games to totally break TIMVP...some fans just aren’t ready for the bad times you hate to see it.

[timvp]

But spurs are winning tonight

Probably will, tbh. That'd fit with this timeline. Mills + Forbes is about to rip off a winning streak to cement their standing as starters.

Truly cursed no matter the outcome. :depressed

[Shakril]

I understand Poeltl for Lyles

I understand Mills for Forbes

I dont understand Mills/Forbes/DDR/LMA - 4 guys bad at defending. Poeltl is solid but not a Defensive Player of the year candidate, but well if he can make this line up work, he should be in the conversation.

[timvp]

Spurs gonna win like 6 straight so we can watch Mills and Forbes start the rest of the season :lmao

[timvp]

Investing $64 million in Dejounte Murray to give up on him after a couple bad games :lmao

[Dex]

Just to get this straight...we have already well established that Mills+Forbes is probably one of the worst defensive duos in the NBA over the course of the last 100 games or so.

And Pop's bright idea is to start them together?

He's either lost his mind, or this will be CIA Pop's finest work on the tank...and I'm actually starting to hope it is the latter.

[slick'81]

Investing $64 million in Dejounte Murray to give up on him after a couple bad games :lmao

Seriously how is that extension looking right now?yes murray wont be at full strength until probbaly next season but damn

[timvp]

Seriously how is that extension looking right now?

Still looks like a good value. Up and downs were expected.

[Mugen]

Investing $64 million in Dejounte Murray to give up on him after a couple bad games :lmao

Personally, I'm excited. This tells me Pop sees something in Dejounte and he's trying to get it out of him. If Pop just wanted a defender today who wouldn't make many mistakes, he could remove DeMarre Carroll from the shrink wrap. But he's trying to get greatness out of Dejounte.

[Leetonidas]

lol its tlongII :lmao

[timtonymanu]

The Spurs get destroyed early in games because the other team goes off from 3 to start the game and Pop’s plan is to play an even worse defensive backcourt. Lol can’t write this shit

Pop expecting to straight up outscore was with the blitz of mills/demar/derozan points

8/10 tbh

They have their cute handshake and everything

psycho fucktard derozan true to form. Bricked FT then a turnover :lmao

DeRozan already in post season form :lol

Derozan turns it over practicing those Andre Miller post moves he studied over the summer

[slick'81]

Forbes gives no fcks tbh

[SpurPadre]

Any other team in the world would start Murray and White over Mills and Forbes...

Imagine Mills and Forbes starting in a game against the Rockets with Harden and Westbrook?!

[slick'81]

Patty mills :smokin

[slick'81]

They cant hold you bryn

[r0drig0lac]

Demar as primary playmaker is a good idea

[slick'81]

Demar as primary playmaker is a good idea


Its either that or mills tbh

[slick'81]

Bryn fckn forbes

[r0drig0lac]

ball movement

[timvp]

Six game winning streak incoming.

[Bojo]

Finally they're moving the rock

[SpurPadre]

I hope we don't make Davis look like Jordan again...

[Dejounte]

Definitely seeing a more smoother offense. SL was more aggressive than what i saw the previous games.

[slick'81]

Great when you play a team who cant defend for shit

[duncan2k5]

Beating the lowly wizards starting patty and Bryn will cause pop to keep that lineup the whole season, no matter how badly other teams abuse them

[timvp]

Oh, cool, Marco.

Mugen's happy.

[poopbox]

Spurs going through their toughest stretch in years...so of course the announcers highlight rudy's leadership :spin

[Mugen]

Demarre back to being glued to the bench :lol

[slick'81]

Great d marco

[poopbox]

Of course marco with the weak ass foul

[sasaint]

Beli from behind with the gift and-1

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Washington sure makes your offense look good.

[timtonymanu]

Beating the lowly wizards starting patty and Bryn will cause pop to keep that lineup the whole season, no matter how badly other teams abuse them

This. Let’s fucking go Wizards!

[slick'81]

Damn wizards are small

[r0drig0lac]

Rudy as SF

[TimDunkem]

Some very low IQ ball from Murray there.

[slick'81]

Damn almost 40 after 1

[timvp]

Marco doesn't shoot half court shot so he can preserve his three-point percentage :lol

[sasaint]

I tuned in late and was shocked to see the Spurs up. I thought I must have accidentally tuned in the retro channel. But the last two minutes of the quarter - yeah, those are the Spurs I know.

[get_mills_out]

Pop finally changes the lineups

...

and somehow figures out worse combinations to put out there :pctoss

[timtonymanu]

Only a 3 point lead. Come on Wizards!

[Gibbz]

Marco doesn't shoot half court shot so he can preserve his three-point percentage :lol

Texted the same thing to my brother lol

[Mugen]

Demarre was arguably the 2nd best player last game and he's back to handing out gatorades alongside Lonnie. Running old and slow Rudy Gay as SF.

:lol

[YoungbuckMurray]

Still absolutely horrible Defense. Belinelli -4 shocker. What does Lonnie have to do to take this bums minutes so sick of Pop

[slick'81]

No mills or forbes and wiz close the gap

[Ron Swanson]

Aldridge looks amped

He heard about the fire sale.

[slick'81]

Cme on dejounte

[YoungbuckMurray]

Demarre was arguably the 2nd best player last game and he's back to handing out gatorades alongside Lonnie. Running old and slow Rudy Gay as SF.

:lol

this. I really don’t understand how carrol gets no minutes. Especially because you would think he would be a Pop type player. Makes no sense. At least with Lonnie we know that pop hates young players but carrol isn’t young

[slick'81]

Mills back in..here comes the push back

[SPURt]

Murray looking damn awful tonight

[timvp]

Mugen, ya boy kinda sucks, tbh.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Belinelli miss, Belinelli miss, Belinelli horrible defense, now Belinelli terrible turnover and he’s still playing

[get_mills_out]

What is Murray currently GOOD at that isn't scoring in transition?

It isn't defense.

[slick'81]

Vroom vroom

[Mugen]

Mugen (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=15519), ya boy kinda sucks, tbh.

Last I checked, it's ya boy giving him all those minutes. :lol

[Dejounte]

Dejountes ass is in the doghouse. I think thats what this is. How quickly he was pulled for that 2nd foul.

[slick'81]

Lets go pAtty

[duncan2k5]

Murray looking damn awful tonight

That's what happens under Pop... Young players are neutered into submission... So they don't play loose and confident because they're scared about being benched... That's when u make stupid founds trying too hard to play defense

[slick'81]

Patty and belli cant be contained

[Dejounte]

Patty making a way better impact than DJ. The offense is not as stagnant as it has been with DJ.

[Gibbz]

Patty is playing great ball tonight.

[timvp]

Last I checked, it's ya boy giving him all those minutes. :lol

I don't claim boys who start Patty and Bryn, sorry.

[timvp]

Forbes at point guard.

Cool :depressed

[Ron Swanson]

Patty gonna get that extension.

[r0drig0lac]

Pop preparing this 40/4 deal for Mills as we talk

[duncan2k5]

Dejountes ass is in the doghouse. I think thats what this is. How quickly he was pulled for that 2nd foul.

He will never become a great player under pop sadly... Demar can have a shit ton of low IQ plays, but will never get reprimanded

[slick'81]

Bertans is money

[Dejounte]

Forbes at point guard.

Cool :depressed

DeMar is the actual point guard.

[SpurPadre]

I'm probably the biggest Murray fan in here and I'll flat out admit, he's been a major bust for the most part this season. It's not all on him and he shouldn't be pulled for fucking Mills but he needs some kind of trigger, tbh.

[duncan2k5]

Patty making a way better impact than DJ. The offense is not as stagnant as it has been with DJ.

We are playing the wizards who scored 35 in one quarter

[slick'81]

Great pass bryn

[EasyMoney]

Trey Lyles really getting playing time over demarre Caroll?

[Mugen]

I don't claim boys who start Patty and Bryn, sorry.

He closes with that duo all the time. Not sure why them starting has all of a sudden ruffled them feathers. :lol

[Leetonidas]

I still dont get why Carroll isnt playing. He looks fine everytime he's out there

[duncan2k5]

He closes with that duo all the time. Not sure why them starting has all of a sudden ruffled them feathers. :lol

Because they suck

[duncan2k5]

I still dont get why Carroll isnt playing. He looks fine everytime he's out there

He dresses too flashy

[Dejounte]

I think Pop's logic here is hes trying to feed off the DeMar who went off during the Dallas game. The whole team was lit under fire when DeMar took control of that game. If DJ learns to take over or even be as half as aggressive as DeMar was during that game, he would be starting still by now. But instead, after being given chance after chance, he has come up too short and deferred way too much. We need to see a DeMar style awakening in DJ. Same for White.

[slick'81]

Derozan going for 50

[SpurPadre]

I still dont get why Carroll isnt playing. He looks fine everytime he's out there

And it's not like he dunks either, which Pop absolutely hates.

[slick'81]

Poodle fckn power

oh and vroom vroom

[timvp]

He closes with that duo all the time. Not sure why them starting has all of a sudden ruffled them feathers. :lol

Stop making excuses for Pop, sniffer.

[SpurPadre]

Marco showing his big balls for the first time this season

[Leetonidas]

:lmao this "defense"

[slick'81]

Great shooting and were only up 3:oink

[duncan2k5]

Murray will never be aggressive playing alongside DDR and LMA because they pout when they don't get the ball... They need to be traded because we can't win with them anyway

[Mugen]

My boy Beli the only one putting up a fight out there. Glad Pop stuck with his guns.

[timvp]

Mugo Belinelli is on fire :wow

[get_mills_out]

Mills Forbes Marco carrying the team

ST on suicide watch

Pop starts patty and Forbes and is surprised the shitty wizards are looking like the prime Warriors

[slick'81]

Finally patty back in

[Kurgan]

Great shooting and were only up 3:oink

Because we're one of the worst defensive teams in the NBA, especially anytime Byrn or Demar are on the court together.

[slick'81]

Carrol in

[duncan2k5]

My boy Beli the only one putting up a fight out there. Glad Pop stuck with his guns.

Plz tell me ur joking... Beli is having a great half vs the wizards in November and all is forgiven?

[Mugen]

Mugo Belinelli is on fire :wow

Mugo is 8.5/10 tbh.

[SAGirl]

Bertans!

[SAGirl]

Team started much better has to be said.

[Mugen]

I have the Wizards moneyline in like 6 different parlays so it'd only be fitting if the Trash Bros shoot lights out towards a victory.

[slick'81]

Feed patty gawd dammit

[Dejounte]

Lets get this straight. Dejountes weakness right now is his 3s. Maybe this will push him to work on it. Because honestly his shooting has not improved that much.

[timtonymanu]

Spurs look good for all the wrong reasons :lol

[DPG21920]

Team started much better has to be said.

Well, when you shoot well, you can beat any team, especially bad defensive teams. But is SA out gunning normal opponents going to work? SA defense is still hemorrhaging points; but they are shooting scorching hot themselves so it’s not apparent.

[slick'81]

No fcks given bryn

[Dejounte]

Imagine how good this team would be if DJ could shoot.

[SpurPadre]

This is more a case of the Wizards being absolutely awful than us suddenly taking positive steps.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Mugo Belinelli is on fire :wow


:pop: Okay, Marco, if you want me to be here to give you a loyalty contract, you better get out there and score some points."

[bdictjames]

DJ has a lot of holes in his game. Lot to improve on the summer, I suppose. Can't shoot, can't make good decisions. Too rattled.

[timvp]

"Thank god we have 69."

K, Sean.

[slick'81]

Keep shooting bryn!

[timvp]

Dejounte 6 minutes in the first half :(

[ZeusWillJudge]

Yep. They were over 60% until a couple of minutes ago. Still at 56% for the first half. That covers for a lot of defensive lapses.

Truth

[RD2191]

:lobt2:

[duncan2k5]

Imagine how good this team would be if DJ could shoot.

Murray not being able to shoot is by far the least of out worries... Giannis can't shoot and they have a great team because of how they built around him

[timtonymanu]

- More Patty/Forbes/Beli
- Less Murray
- Still no Lonnie/Carroll
- Spurs up

Absolute worst case scenario. I hope the wiz can fluke themselves into a scorching hot 2nd half. Otherwise this shit is gonna be the norm going forward.

[slick'81]

Dejounte 6 minutes in the first half :(


Ups and downs to be expected

[james evans]

Good news is that we scored 69. Bad news is that we gave up 63.

[slick'81]

Spurs should just say fck it and try to out shoot everybody from here on out

[timvp]

- More Patty/Forbes/Beli
- Less Murray
- Still no Lonnie/Carroll
- Spurs up

Absolute worst case scenario. I hope the wiz can fluke themselves into a scorching hot 2nd half. Otherwise this shit is gonna be the norm going forward.

Carroll played but yeah this is close to worst case. The Spurs are going to win tonight to keep this starting lineup going, guaranteed.

[Kurgan]

The supposed effectiveness of this gimmick starting lineup will become more apparent when they play the Sixers on Friday. I have a feeling they won't be shooting as well that day.

[Harry Callahan]

I hate the way this team looks right now. They are not interesting at all to watch. Boring, less than average basketball. Most of the Spurs players are just cashing a check and rarely playing with any sense of purpose - especially on defense.

[DPG21920]

Dejounte 6 minutes in the first half :(

Winning recipe for now and the future. I’m sure the young guys will take super kindly to being phased out and leashed and admonished while the scoring hot, 100% results/effort vets like Mills/Beli get to run wild.

I guess the young guys can’t get too mad; that’s just what happens unfortunately when you play on a legit contender.

[duncan2k5]

DJ has a lot of holes in his game. Lot to improve on the summer, I suppose. Can't shoot, can't make good decisions. Too rattled.

Sounds like ur describing DDR... yet DDR never gets put in the dig house regardless of how many low IG plays and lack of shooting he displays... Our young players will never grow if they aren't put in a position to be successful... Trotting DJ out there with those guys is literally the worst possible situation he could be in because he MUST give them the ball or else they will mentally check out the game

[ZeusWillJudge]

Carroll played but yeah this is close to worst case. The Spurs are going to win tonight to keep this starting lineup going, guaranteed.



Pop should give Keldon 2 minutes as insurance. If the Spurs lose, Pop can blame it on him and exile him to the Austin doghouse.

[SpurPadre]

"Thank god we have 69."

K, Sean.

You're a sick fuck, Sean.

[RD2191]

How long before DJ requests a trade? Tbh

[duncan2k5]

Good news is that we scored 69. Bad news is that we gave up 63.

To the wizards
