Game Thread: Spurs at 76ers - Nov. 22, 2019 @ 7:00pm CT

[NASpurs]

Rudy's tired of tanking tonight. Read the script brah.

[TheGoatishere]

A player who can move his feet and play defense:wow

[DPG21920]

Carroll LFG

[ZeusWillJudge]

But I am pretty as f*ck


:lol Duuuude!

[UZER]

When was the last time this Spurs team had a fast break dunk? Every other team has multiple every night. The Spurs go multiple games without one.

The jinx worked. :lol

[tholdren]

Rudy's tired of tanking tonight. Read the script brah.

Then you would think he would defend or rebound

[KimmyGib]

Marco must have some dirt on Pop I swear, it just doesn’t make sense

Somebody out there is bribing Pop with some very expensive Italian wine.

[NASpurs]

Then you would think he would defend or rebound

Coming from the dude that says DeMar is the best player on the court. You're cute.

Go back to lurking bro. :lol

[tholdren]

Well there he goes.

[tholdren]

Coming from the dude that says DeMar is the best player on the court. You're cute.

Go back to lurking bro. :lol

Anyone who thinks derozan is not the best player is clueless

[SpurPadre]

Wtf Carroll, throw up a shot....

[timtonymanu]

So frustrating that it took Carroll this long to get minutes. Smh old man

[NASpurs]

Anyone who thinks derozan is not the best player is clueless

Even LMA half-assing it is better than DeMar.

Watch the other side of the court.

[sasaint]

So frustrating that it took Carroll this long to get minutes. Smh old man

And I had thought he was gonna start opening night! :lol

[tholdren]

...

[timtonymanu]

Sad to say this is the lowest amount of points we allowed through 3 quarters so far

[tholdren]

Even LMA half-assing it is better than DeMar.

Watch the other side of the court.
Lolololol

[slick'81]

Vroom vroom

[sasaint]

And the Spurs cut into the lead!

[slick'81]

Embid destroying poodle power

[slick'81]

0nly down 7

[NASpurs]

:lol DeMar's defense

Yeah let's extend him.

[tholdren]

Rudy no d

[sasaint]

Poodle... sheesh.

[slick'81]

Tobias shitting all over sa

[212094ever]

Fucking Poodle

[tholdren]

:lol DeMar's defense

Yeah let's extend him.

That was rudy. DeRozan on bench

[ZeusWillJudge]

Inept:
having or showing no skill; clumsy.

[NASpurs]

That was rudy. DeRozan on bench

No he's not.

[UZER]

Duncan looks like he doesn’t even want to be there. :lol

[timvp]

Poeltl deceptively garbage this game, tbh.

[tholdren]

No he's not.

Derozan just checked in

[slick'81]

Duncan looks like he doesn’t even want to be there. :lol


He did look sleepy on the bench

[r0drig0lac]

Kemba with a serious injury

[NASpurs]

Derozan just checked in

Dude, you're like 5 minutes behind. :lol

It's 94-85 Philly up

[GB20]

It looks like pop left his brain in China.

[NASpurs]

Kemba with a serious injury

And suddenly a new trade partner has appeared.

[slick'81]

Kemba with a serious injury


Knee?

[slick'81]

Atta boy patty

[MultiTroll]

Poodle got fouled in fairness.

[slick'81]

Poodle you fckn suck tonight

[r0drig0lac]

Knee?

neck

[tholdren]

Dude, you're like 5 minutes behind. :lol

It's 94-85 Philly up

Lol you just disregard Rudy's out of position play, but call out derozan for a pick and roll give up? Lol dude you need to read a book

[ZeusWillJudge]

A man's foul by DDR there.

[212094ever]

The usual suspects

[NASpurs]

Lol you just disregard Rudy's out of position play, but call out derozan for a pick and roll give up? Lol dude you need to read a book

I disregard you correcting me when I was talking about something else dumbass.

????????

[Chomag]

Belli just watching his man go by..

[slick'81]

Derozan couldnt help but smile and laugh

[ZeusWillJudge]

And the Spurs cut into the lead!


Oh dammit I'm tired of those words. :lol

[Chinook]

Everything Jakob touches turns to shit right now.

[NASpurs]

Embiid with a pullup 3. I've seen everything.

[tholdren]

I disregard you correcting me when I was talking about something else dumbass.

????????

No you just are too ignorant to understand who is at fault on defense. But carry on

[timvp]

Poeltl is so damn weak on the defensive boards :pctoss

[r0drig0lac]

@KeithSmithNBA
The rolling stretcher is now out. Kemba Walker is strapped to the back-board and they've put a neck brace on him. He was just put on the stretcher. No signs of movement from Walker as he's wheeled off the court. Really scary situation for Walker in Denver.

[Gorepopovich]

Tanking. :rollin

Saw the injury. Very scary

[sasaint]

Embiid with a pullup 3. I've seen everything.

The BBIQ of a Spur. Shame that such stupidity is of no real consequence in this contest.

[slick'81]

Spurs cut the lead to 9!!

[SpurPadre]

LOL, Brown calling a timeout when they might as well be up by a thousand. Another non three by Derozan isn't going to kill you Brett lol.

[Dverde]

I just put on the game to find Milli Belinelli on the court again. What is going on with Pop???

[ZeusWillJudge]

My biggest beef with Poeltl is that he doesn't know how to rebound. A good rebounder does his work early. Poeltl is always trying to react at the last instant, so he misses a lot of boards that he would get if he used his body well.

[Chomag]

Damn, best wishes to Jenna Walker. Hopefully it's not serious

[slick'81]

Nice move demar

[DPG21920]

DeRozan is going like 1MPH but still getting anywhere he wants right now.

[DPG21920]

And he just shook a top notch defender in Simmons :wow

Orlando? Charlotte? Miami? You watching????

[tholdren]

The BBIQ of a Spur. Shame that such stupidity is of no real consequence in this contest.
Kyrie Irving won the nba title on shit like that. I mean skill like that. Nephew won game 7 ecf like that.

[NASpurs]

Last time the Spurs fouled Simmons on purpose in Philly, it backfired.

[Chomag]

Lmao @ Belli transition D

[slick'81]

Hack a simmons

[ZeusWillJudge]

Heh.

Fuck Pop and this stupid shit. :lol

Oh no, here comes the hack.


But but but I respect the game.

:pop:

[tholdren]

Nba pg 58 percent from ft.... lol

[slick'81]

Spurs cut the lead to 6

[Chomag]

Pop getting cute lol

[james evans]

If people got a problem with this, tell Simmons to learn how to shoot.

[tholdren]

Aldridge is too soft to even pick. He sucks

[UZER]

Derozan doesn’t even look up on the break when he has the ball.

[timvp]

Poeltl. Can't. Rebound. In. Traffic.

:pctoss

[slick'81]

Booyah

[r0drig0lac]

damn!!!

[KimmyGib]

No point in playing the "hack-a" game. They'll either make the freethrow or get the offensive rebound. Kinda defeats the purpose.

[ZeusWillJudge]

NICE play by DJ. And DDR running the floor gets paid.

[NASpurs]

That was sick :wow

[r0drig0lac]

:lol Pop sit down

[tholdren]

Who is worse gay or lma?

[UZER]

Clutch Derozan right on cue. :lol

[NASpurs]

DeRozan's life flashed before his eyes :lol

[slick'81]

How is that jot a foul on derozan? Lol forbes

Forbes tried to foul on purpose and it was so weak they didn't even call it :lol

[sasaint]

Kyrie Irving won the nba title on shit like that. I mean skill like that. Nephew won game 7 ecf like that.

At least they aren't 7-footers leading the break.

[Budkin]

Quick trade Demar!!!

[KimmyGib]

https://youtu.be/gUIHi5Vz2Ys

[r0drig0lac]

Forbes/Mills .....

[ZeusWillJudge]

Oly down by 11 with 4 minutes left. It could happen.

[slick'81]

Atta boy bryn

[Chomag]

Chucker gonna chuck

[NASpurs]

:lmao Forbes, such a sharp shooter

[TheGoatishere]

Forbes on Tobias:lol

[UZER]

I’m tired of this bs officiating

You’re not doing yourself any favors with the refs when you intentionally foul the same guy over and over away from the ball.

[Dancelot]

Forbes fucking sucks.

[slick'81]

Make up call

[timvp]

Please don't re-sign Forbes ... or Poeltl, tbh.

[DPG21920]

How on Earth did Carroll not see these minutes after what he showed?

[slick'81]

Really demar?

[urunobili]

Can someone explain to me why White is not playing? First full game I watch this season...0

[NASpurs]

:lmao Demar

[DPG21920]

Please don't re-sign Forbes ... or Poeltl, tbh.

Spurs extend DeRozan, and re-sign Forbes and Poeltl


*record scratch * “you’re probably wondering how we got here”

[DPG21920]

Can someone explain to me why White is not playing? First full game I watch this season...0

He’s injured. Foot.

[Kurgan]

Last five minutes of every game and it's choking time for Demar. Just airballed a midranger jumper.

[Chomag]

Can someone explain to me why White is not playing? First full game I watch this season...0injured

[timvp]

DeRozan is a closer :tu

[TE]

Not even mad anymore about this team, despite all the little things

[Genovaswitness]

AIRBALL BY PSYCHO FREAK DEROZAN :lmao

[timtonymanu]

The losing streak continues!

[slick'81]

Please don't re-sign Forbes ... or Poeltl, tbh.


Well its a start

[urunobili]

He’s injured. Foot.

Thank you 👍

[Chomag]

So now Pop puts in Lonnie....lol?

[slick'81]

DeRozan is a closer :tu


But hes our closer

[r0drig0lac]

Keldon time

[NASpurs]

The losing streak continues!

b2b on the road against the Knicks tomorrow night. 80% chance it continues.

[Chomag]

Wtf is this lmao

[Genovaswitness]

B-BUT HES 21/6/6 BRO!!

HES A MAX PLAYER IF HE FIXES HIS DEFENSE AND SHOOTS 3s :lmao

[NASpurs]

Pop's ghost ascended after that Demar airball. He was like "fuck it".

[slick'81]

So now Pop puts in Lonnie....lol?

Its his time to shine tbh

[r0drig0lac]

Metu!!!

[SpurPadre]

WTF was that Keldon?!

[ZeusWillJudge]

:lmao Demar


He's gassed and shot an airball. It happens. But he still lunged out the end line going after his own rebound. At least he's acting like he gives a damn. He's got more boards than the 6'11" Aldridge.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

We need 3 times as many solid 3 point shooters just to keep up in this league

[slick'81]

8 straight guys! Bring on the knicks!

[davidbowie]

i love watching spurs history tbh

[DPG21920]

B-BUT HES 21/6/6 BRO!!

HES A MAX PLAYER IF HE FIXES HIS DEFENSE AND SHOOTS 3s :lmao

I have my issues with DeRozan but he’s played very well the past few games.

[Kurgan]

Demar looks like he's about to cry in that close up of him on the bench.

[timtonymanu]

b2b on the road against the Knicks tomorrow night. 80% chance it continues.

Yeah there’s not one nba team other than maybe the g league warriors that I’m confident the Spurs can beat at this point

[TimDunkem]

1190077747256680448

:(

[ZeusWillJudge]

Philly has 50 boards and 31 AST. Spurs have 31 boards and 19 AST. Sad.

[spurs1990]

Cool to witness Keldon get his letterman jacket

[slick'81]

I have my issues with DeRozan but he’s played very well the past few games.

especially in the last few minutes

[Genovaswitness]

I have my issues with DeRozan but he’s played very well the past few games.

Empty calories. suffocating floor spacing that fucks the offense. always good for some mentally weak cuck play at the end of game. has happened in 85% of games this year

[timtonymanu]

I would rather watch this garbage time lineup for 48 minutes than the regular rotation

[Dancelot]

At least these dudes are moving on defense

[SpurPadre]

He missed a free throw, better pull him Pop

[Genovaswitness]

Demar looks like he's about to cry in that close up of him on the bench.

Fucking freak is going to cry in a jack in the box parking lot tonight listening to nipsey hussle

[NASpurs]

Rest up the vets and play these guys against the Knicks tomorrow night. WGAF at this point.

[sasaint]

took the air out of the ball like we were ahead with 6 seconds left...

[timtonymanu]

Spurs lose!

[timtonymanu]

Rest up the vets and play these guys against the Knicks tomorrow night. WGAF at this point.

“But tanking won’t be fun. Just this unintentional tanking we’ve seen so far. *sniff sniff”

[davidbowie]

this is all tims fault

prob drawing up some doo doo plays in the huddle

[UZER]

The San Antonio Team USAs

[gambit1990]

philly by 14.
was off by three points.

[Spurtacular]

Lonnie Walker singlehandedly killed me hitting the inplay with his garbage play in garage time.

[Chomag]

1190077747256680448:vomit:

[tholdren]

Lma and rudy gay are two of the worst players since richard jefferson. They play one end of the floor and do nothing that requires any effort. Trade immediately

[RD2191]

Just blow this shit up already.

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

:rollinWalker not taking the last shot is the exact reason why he sucks and ain't getting minutes.

[RC_Drunkford]

just when you thought the Spurs might make it a tight game, here comes DeRozan with the airball :lmao Pop basically said I quit after that

[emanueldavidginobili]

1198081058337513473

[tholdren]

He missed a free throw, better pull him Pop

He missed 2 because he sucks

[sasaint]

Got hammered on the glass 51-32. But we held 'em to 115. Big defense improvement. :lol

[tholdren]

Got hammered on the glass 51-32. But we held 'em to 115. Big defense improvement. :lol
Rudy and lma have to go

Hey guess what losing teams probably have starters who are plus minus negative. Still using plus minus... wow

[SpurPadre]

I'm done with his non-three point shooting ass, tbh.

[Chomag]

:rollinWalker not taking the last shot is the exact reason why he sucks and ain't getting minutes.
Umm you know he was told to hold and wait out the game clock right?

[ZeusWillJudge]

Max Strus gets 4 minutes (5 points) in a losing effort for Chicago tonight. Keldon gets what... 30 seconds in two callups?

[DPG21920]

:lol Duuuude!

Lol

[sasaint]

Rudy and lma have to go

Unfortunately Poodle has also played poor/inconsistent ball this season.

Spurs win projection: 25.6 wins, 3 games behind Phoenix (8th) out West.

Per CTG, the Spurs are playing like a 32.5 win team.

Draft projection via Tankathon: 5th pick with 9% chance at number 1 overall pick.

Toughest schedule left in league

[sasaint]

Yes. Disappointed in how his hands and instincts have disappeared

And his failure to develop any offensive repertoire. He had a wide open 6/7 footer tonight and chose to take it to the hole without much determination and got blocked. Pretty typical.

Oh yes, that would be amazing. Keep losing please

anybody else watching the clippers rockets game? Refreshing watching real basketball tbh

[JeffDuncan]

Poeltl was also in a situation where he had the ball 10 ft from the basket, and the defender took a step back to keep him from driving. Poeltl looked around desperately for somebody to pass the ball to, while he was 10 ft from the basket, wide open. It was pathetic.

Yeah, I was yelling for him to shoot - one of the few times I recall actually yelling all season. :lol

Box Plus Minus is a better stat to use...and their BPM's don't paint a pretty picture either, tbh.

[Prose]

85-90 sixers up, 10:32, pop subs gay out and enters DDR. Our "death line up" of mills, marco, DDR, carrol, Poodle. 1:55 seconds later we are down 85-98. COMON POP

[BillMc]

Well, is this a good year to have a lottery pick? Anyone awesome going to be available? I don't follow college/international play.

[TXstbobcat]

Well, is this a good year to have a lottery pick? Anyone awesome going to be available? I don't follow college/international play.

Wiseman out of Memphis should be the #1 pick at this point. Outside of the top 3 picks this is supposed to be a weak draft class.

[BillMc]

Thanks bro. :bobo

[BackHome]

Yeah this is the worse draft to tank but they do have a lot of good PG in top 17 and you know Poop loves drafting PG...

[duncan2k5]

I have my issues with DeRozan but he’s played very well the past few games.

this means what? u want to keep him now??

[duncan2k5]

Hey guess what losing teams probably have starters who are plus minus negative. Still using plus minus... wow

exactly..we are losing because DDR and LMA suck...

[DPG21920]

this means what? u want to keep him now??

No. I want him gone. But in evaluating the past few games and what ails the team? He’s not the problem.

[Prose]

He's gassed and shot an airball. It happens. But he still lunged out the end line going after his own rebound. At least he's acting like he gives a damn. He's got more boards than the 6'11" Aldridge.

Its not that impressive bc phily is probably the only other team in the league that compete with the spurs in terms of poorly fitting together talent and constructing a non shooting too many big men roster. Only reason they are better is bc each of those players they have are better than our "stars" and at least they try shooting 3s.

[Prose]

[daslicer]

Well, is this a good year to have a lottery pick? Anyone awesome going to be available? I don't follow college/international play.

Not excited about this draft since outside of Wiseman it's guard heavy. Spurs already have like 50 guards on their roster. Adding another won't make a difference.

Huh? What isn't impressive? Getting clobbered on the boards?
