Game Thread: Spurs vs. Timberwolves - Nov. 27, 2019 @ 7:30pm CST, 3:30 Riga Time

[duncan2k5]

See what happens when u have athletes?

[Kurgan]

I feel like I haven’t seen bryn hit a shot in weeks.

EDIT: oh yeah, he sucks.

I think Pop envisioned Bryn as the volume shooter on the team, like a JJ Reddick but Forbes just doesn't have the talent or skill for that kind of role. As an undrafted player with limited athletic ability, his ceiling should have been a bench shooter. Pop starting him two seasons in a row is madness.

[Slippy]

Ha v nt checked. Near last I'm sure.

[RC_Drunkford]

Walker did more in 30 seconds than Belinelli did the whole season

[Mugen]

Shitting all over that old fuck, I love you Lonnie

[duncan2k5]

:pop: "Those two shots just prove you're not over yourself, Lonnie. Back to the bench."

LMFAO!!!

[jeebus]

What's the senile fuck doing? Am I going to have to make a playmarco account?

[duncan2k5]

Walker did more in 30 seconds than Belinelli did the whole season

On both offense and defense

[Slippy]

Where do the Spurs as a team rank in 3-point percentage?

Havnt checked. Near last I'm sure

[JPB]

The savior has arrived

[Mugen]

Crofl Rudy looked happy AF for Lonnie and Pop looked absolutely fucking pissed :lmao

[RC_Drunkford]

whoever gets Walker when he's traded will be lucky as fuck. He's a future star

[PoppaP]

LONNIE WALKER!! Unleash this kid already ! Wishful thinking I know

[ZeusWillJudge]

That layup went right over the top of Mills. That's weird.

[duncan2k5]

On a sad note tho... Lonnie so neutered, he layer it up instead of an obvious dunk... Pop really did a number on our young guys

[Mugen]

Pop literally walking over to Bryn and Marco. getting on his fucking knees and apologizing for putting Lonnie. Unbelievable.

[ZeusWillJudge]

:pop: "Hand it to Mills, Lonnie. It wouldn't be fair for you to take his shots."

[duncan2k5]

It's crazy how Mills Forbes, and Marco can take the first shot they get, but if any of the young guys do it, they get benched

[tbdog]

Refs all over the place. Bad decisions going both ways.

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you, old man. Let Lonnie play from now on

[BlackAndWhite]

Carroll probably not playing cause pop can't fathom playing 2 players with that "distasteful" hair

[Slippy]

Haha the guy that's been sitting comes in and makes some noise. Shoes how it's done. Hits an open 3. Then drives it in on a rotating defense. Awesome energy

This is what we want

[r0drig0lac]

#FreeLoonie MVP

[JPB]

LMFAO

[duncan2k5]

SEE WHAT HAPPENS WHEN MURRAY HAS SOMEONE HE CAN RUN WITH???

[007nites]

Murray and Walker running the break!

[Joseph Kony]

Lonnie coming in and showing he belongs. Pop needs to quit fucking around. We shouldnt be so shitty with athletes like White/Walker/Murray on the perimeter. Let the man play!

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Lonnie man :lol fuck you so much pop

[Gibbz]

LET'S FUCKING GO LONNIE

[Joseph Kony]

and walker's ability to adjust midair is elite, thats a skill that cant be taught tbh. dude just needs reps

[RC_Drunkford]

Walker is taking over the game

[duncan2k5]

Fuck you, old man. Let Lonnie play from now on

I wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't play next game tbh

[MoSpur02]

Walker IV better earn more regular playing time after how he just played this last quarter.

[Mugen]

Fuck you old man, the future is now.

[Sugus]

Lonnie proving once again that the ceiling for this team is artificial. Get Murray, White, Lonnie in the same lineup, Pop - I dare you

[poopbox]

Lonnie the hero we need and deserve tbh

[weebo]

LW4 is getting his time to shine...Pop's patience and LW4 determination=future NBA star...thanks Pop:bobo

[timtonymanu]

I don’t know if Pop’s ego could take so much of a hit anymore. Back to the bench next game, Lonnie.

[Mugen]

Where's that POS monty who said Lonnie didn't belong in the league, kill yourself :lmao

[Chomag]

Lonnie still needs more time to get over himself tbh

[raybies]

Lonnie Skywalker the new hope

[MoSpur02]

Lonnie's energy is contagious

[r0drig0lac]

LW4 is getting his time to shine...Pop's patience and LW4 determination=future NBA star...thanks Pop:bobo

:lmao

[Darius Bieber]

https://media.tenor.com/images/d75782d3e37279d6e669f8cd0caa7ddc/tenor.png

[sasaint]

Walker IV better earn more regular playing time after how he just played this last quarter.

Pop wakes up in a new world every morning. Tomorrow morning it's "Lonnie who?"

[ZeusWillJudge]

Pop literally walking over to Bryn and Marco. getting on his fucking knees and apologizing for putting Lonnie. Unbelievable.


Looked like it to me, too. Like Gay knows he shouldn't be in the doghouse. Lonnie has given the whole team a spark.

[raybies]

if pop pulls this lineup...

[ZeusWillJudge]

Looked like it to me, too. Like Gay knows he shouldn't be in the doghouse. Lonnie has given the whole team a spark.


And Mills is doing everything he can to cool it. Time to bring in Beli.

[poopbox]

poeltl is such a fucking idiot

[007nites]

Forbes coming in

[Dhbsr555]

Lmao good ol pop taking the guy out who brought you back

[Spurs fever]

Mills...

[poopbox]

Lonnie out...game over:cry

[Chomag]

Pop just couldn't help himself with Forbes

[r0drig0lac]

Murray White duo

[Slippy]

Lonnie proving once again that the ceiling for this team is artificial. Get Murray, White, Lonnie in the same lineup, Pop - I dare you

That's so true

[sasaint]

Wow, a Dijon/Derrick pairing.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Irs just tough to win when you have derozan and mills out there.

[Mugen]

Back to the fucking losers who got you killed, great move old man.

[Sugus]

Ah yes, Lonnie makes consecutive plays to bring us back into the game, then stops getting the ball altogether, then benched... Maybe Pop really is CIA tanking after all

[Chomag]

Why take Lonnie out? Hes playing well and doesn't look tiered

[vander]

Bryn doesn't seem to want another NBA contract

[Mugen]

Finally a Dejounte and Dwhite lineup :lmao

[sasaint]

Lmao good ol pop taking the guy out who brought you back

Probably for the remainder of the game.

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs won't win this

[Leetonidas]

Forbes is worthless. Experiment with him as a starter needs to end already

[duncan2k5]

Forbes is so bad

[tbdog]

Get Forbes off. Lineup is nearly perfect

[raybies]

pop playing lonnie tonight then DJ and White at the same time :wow


he must finally be desperate

[Chomag]

Probably for the remainder of the game.
+ A few games

[duncan2k5]

Ah yes, Lonnie makes consecutive plays to bring us back into the game, then stops getting the ball altogether, then benched... Maybe Pop really is CIA tanking after all

Benched for Forbes at that... Who immediately starts to suck

[Sugus]

Probably for the remainder of the game.

Not to worry! Pop will be sure to play him with less than a minute to go, down 10, then bench him the next game when he doesn't deliver a miraculous win

[r0drig0lac]

Forbes is worthless. Experiment with him as a nba player needs to end already

...

[Mugen]

Just needed to berate the old fuck to finally have him play Lonnie and DJ/White. It only took him damn near 25% of the season :lmao

[Slippy]

Forbes is useless if he can't those open ones.

[sasaint]

pop playing lonnie tonight then DJ and White at the same time :wow


he must finally be desperate

I thought Derrick checked in for Lonnie.

[raybies]

what is this?? six games under 500 and he finally gets it

[ZeusWillJudge]

Forbes, White, and Gay are 1-15 from 3P. It's a wonder the game is this close.

[Kurgan]

Lonnie has the hot hand in the 3rd quarter scoring 9 points in 4 mins. He doesn't receive the ball at all in the 4th because Mills wants to clanks two shots instead. Lonnie exits game.

[Mugen]

3s aren't falling. Just try to steal it with energy and defense and trot White/Dejounte/Lonnie/Derozan/LMA out there. Just do it.

[r0drig0lac]

damn Poetl is so dumb

[sasaint]

Wow! I missed my guess. Lonnie back in.

[Joseph Kony]

Jesus man get Poeltl the fuck out of the game, Towns is pushing his shit in on every possession

[Joseph Kony]

oh wow Pop challenging a call :wow he should win this one too

[duncan2k5]

Pop really took out Murray and left in Forbes? LMFAO!

[ZeusWillJudge]

I thought Derrick checked in for Lonnie.


Yeah, he's saying Lonnie got minutes, and then White/Murray combo got minutes. Both rare sightings.

Now Pop is challenging a call.

[RC_Drunkford]

pop playing lonnie tonight then DJ and White at the same time :wow


he must finally be desperate

no he's trying to increase Walker's trade value

[raybies]

pop challenging a call now??? I'm losing it

[tbdog]

So the rules says you can't look at any other contact. So that's a charge.

[Mugen]

Bwahahahahahahahah timvp get the fuck in here.

-Lonnie getting time
-Dejounte and White playing together
-Pop challenging a call

[raybies]

no he's trying to increase Walker's trade value
i think I'll quit being a spurs fan or go to games and boo if they trade Lonnie... my heart can't take that

[Slippy]

Benched for Forbes at that... Who immediately starts to suck

This where pop spacing prioritizing is all wrong. Bryn miss another wide open miss . DJ cleaned it up.

Now Lonnie back in for DJ.

[Kurgan]

Yeah, he's saying Lonnie got minutes, and then White/Murray combo got minutes. Both rare sightings.

Now Pop is challenging a call.

Pop is desperate. He reallllly doesn't want to miss the playoffs in his last season as coach.

[spurs1990]

Forbes, White, and Gay are 1-15 from 3P. It's a wonder the game is this close.

Didn't even see it was this bad. They got to make a trade for a 3pt artist by the deadline. A Bertans type big would be ideal.

[duncan2k5]

Forbes is useless if he can't those open ones.

He is useless even when he does, since he is such a bad defender

[Kurgan]

He is useless even when he does, since he is such a bad defender

Statistically the worst in the NBA too.

[duncan2k5]

This where pop spacing prioritizing is all wrong. Bryn miss another wide open miss . DJ cleaned it up.

Now Lonnie back in for DJ.
It's sad, tbh

[raybies]

I'd rather just let DD walk then trade Lonnie as sweetener... i don't care we get back... we haven't seen enough on Lonnie to know what he'll be..

[sasaint]

Yeah, he's saying Lonnie got minutes, and then White/Murray combo got minutes. Both rare sightings.

Now Pop is challenging a call.

"Brrrrrrr! It turned cold down here" -Hades

[ZeusWillJudge]

Lonnie with the big Fuck U Pop!

[r0drig0lac]

He is useless even when he does, since he is such a bad defender

this

[raybies]

OMG LONNIE

[duncan2k5]

Plz give Lonnie the ball instead of DeRozan

[Kurgan]

Lonnie scores again

[r0drig0lac]

spurs 12-14 ball movement

[ZeusWillJudge]

:pop: "I guess me putting Lonnie on the bench for so long really paid off. And did you see the way I used that challenge?"

[DC23]

Hopefully this is the end of Beli :tu

[raybies]

I've heard the rumors about Lonnie as well... Hopefully patfo doesn't make an all time worst trade like they did with Kawhi

[Kurgan]

Lonnie having a plus impact as the Spurs take the lead. Watch Pop take him out after the timeout.

[spurs1990]

I'll eat my hat if Walker isn't part of the rotation going forward. He's earned it fully

[Mugen]

RIP to every piece of shit Sniffer on this site baby!

[sasaint]

Hopefully this is the end of Beli :tu

If we win, more likely the end of Dumbmar trade talks.

[RC_Drunkford]

i think I'll quit being a spurs fan or go to games and boo if they trade Lonnie... my heart can't take that

it's been reported by various sources that the Spurs are actively shopping Mills and Walker with DeRozan and Aldridge. It is what it is

[FkLA]

Lonnie, White-Murray, and a challenge?

WTF has gotten into Pop :lol

[007nites]

Hopefully this is the end of Beli :tu

This man Lonnie about to end this mans whole career

[sasaint]

I'll eat my hat if Walker isn't part of the rotation going forward. He's earned it fully

I hope you have a straw hat - much easier to chew and digest than felt.

[007nites]

Even the T-Wolves commentators are giving Lonnie huge credit right now

[raybies]

just take out Forbes and put Murray or Demarre in and we are set

[ZeusWillJudge]

Lonnie is on fire. That's what we need... more Forbes.

[duncan2k5]

Incoming DDR meltdown...

[RC_Drunkford]

Pop is trying everything to win this. And they still gonna lose

[TheGoatishere]

Forbes lol

[Leetonidas]

This team is embarrassing man. Fight hard to get a 1 point lead and immediately bend over with soft offense and weaker defense

[boutons_deux]

spurs still losing badly the 3G game

[sasaint]

Incoming DDR meltdown...

Yep, Dumbmar gonna bring the TPups home.

[Kurgan]

lol, Pop treats Forbes like he's Klay Thompson. Why does this scrub keep getting shots?

[NASpurs]

6-14 after the Clippers game :tu

[raybies]

thought pop was gonna close with Forbes and Patty... that was a close one

[RC_Drunkford]

nobody on this team can hit 3s tonight. KAT is on the bench and Pop is playing better line ups and the Wolves still extend the lead

[ZeusWillJudge]

Lonnie frustrating Wiggins there on D. Beli probably would have done the same thing.

[sasaint]

lol, Pop treats Forbes like he's Klay Thompson. Why does this scrub keep getting shots?

0/6 from 3 tonight

[ZeusWillJudge]

Pop is trying everything to win this. And they still gonna lose


Yeah, maybe if he tried it a little earlier in the game?

[duncan2k5]

Yep... Demar meltdown like I said

[sasaint]

Lonnie frustrating Wiggins there on D. Beli probably would have done the same thing.

Yep. virtually interchangeable

[Leetonidas]

Sad

[Uriel]

What's wrong with this team? They just look broken.

[sasaint]

Yeah, maybe if he tried it a little earlier in the game?

Nah, it was insisting on playing Bryn - especially late.

[r0drig0lac]

it's over

[ZeusWillJudge]

Shit, I should have stayed to buy some more shit in WalMart. I'm tired of watching the same fucking re-run.

[raybies]

still a loss

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Not even Lonnie could save this shit team from derozan patty mills and Bryn Forbes

[BlackAndWhite]

Spurs cucked for sure

[Leetonidas]

Fucking 15-2 run after getting a 1 point lead. Absolutely pathetic man. Fuck Forbes, fuck Pop, and Fuck our soft ass "stars"

[raybies]

i'm blaming it for playing Beli in the first half

[Texas eye]

every game we watch teams drain 3s in the 4th.

[Barfunk]

Fire Popovich

[Sugus]

How can you not get Lonnie the ball in so many consecutive possessions? Fucking trash ass coached team, can't even get their only in-rhythm player the ball... Gonna cost them another game... And sure enough Pop takes Lonnie out altogether!! Maddening

[tbdog]

Threes man. That's it. Threes. Apart from that, we out played them. But they take and make threes and we don't take or make.

[Kurgan]

Derozan's middling offense is not enough to offset his terrible terrible defense.

[Texas eye]

Fucking 15-2 run after getting a 1 point lead. Absolutely pathetic man. Fuck Forbes, fuck Pop, and Fuck our soft ass "stars"

We cant stop teams from draining the 3.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Nah, it was insisting on playing Bryn - especially late.


:pop: "I don't just play Brynn. I bring his culture to the floor."

[boutons_deux]

Spurs 3G 4 vs 16, -36 pts

[SPURt]

https://media3.giphy.com/media/yoJC2GJsij7CZUzf8c/giphy.gif

[tbdog]

36 more points in 3s

[212094ever]

Mills and Forbes

[bbarry]

Fucking 15-2 run after getting a 1 point lead. Absolutely pathetic man. Fuck Forbes, fuck Pop, and Fuck our soft ass "stars"

just when I thought spurs' season was looking a bit brighter.

[Chomag]

In sorry but Forbes is nothing but a chucker

[Mugen]

Crofl at that piece of shit Forbes with the longest leash in the league.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Oh, yeah, you're down by 12. Pass up 3's to try and get a better 2 point shot. Fuck me.

[sasaint]

What's wrong with this team? They just look broken.

Totally broken and individually broken down. 1/4 of the way through the season, Pop is just discovering a lineup or two that seem to work. But he still won't go with them. He will be back to his Bryn/Marco lineup next game. Completely unsettled non-rotation hurts, but nonsensical combos on the floor will continue to hold the team's ceiling down.

[boutons_deux]

LMA missed all his 4th qtr shots?

[Barfunk]

I guaransheed you if they put in Duncan or Becky as interim, they'd rip off a 14 game win streak.

[TheGoatishere]

Fucking Forbes man:lmao

[ZeusWillJudge]

:pop: "Sit down, Lonnie. There's no way I'm letting you stat pad in garbage time."

[SpurPadre]

This team is so anti-clutch. I know it's popular to say that the offense isn't the problem but that's not true. They simply can't keep up with other offenses for 48 minutes. They see other teams seamlessly reach back and launch bomb after bomb but our players just don't have that repertoire. Of course, the defense is a problem too but this offense is antiquated.

[ZeusWillJudge]

I guaransheed you if they put in Duncan or Becky as interim, they'd rip off a 14 game win streak.


I think they'd win more if they put those two on the floor, TBH.

[sasaint]

Did DeMarre even have a cameo appearance tonight?

[boutons_deux]

3PT "ace" BF redeems himself by making the first 3 with 15 sec left

[007nites]

Forbes hit a 3

[r0drig0lac]

LaMarcus Aldridge enters the game for Jakob Poeltl 91 - 92
Robert Covington makes 26-foot three point jumper (Jarrett Culver assists) 94 - 92
Andrew Wiggins makes 1-foot two point shot (Gorgui Dieng assists) 96 - 92
Gorgui Dieng makes 21-foot jumper 98 - 92
LaMarcus Aldridge makes two point shot 98 - 94
Andrew Wiggins makes 25-foot three point jumper (Jeff Teague assists) 103 - 94
Josh Okogie makes 22-foot three point jumper (Karl-Anthony Towns assists) 106 - 94







THIS IS NOT A COINCIDENCE

[Kurgan]

Spurs 3G 4 vs 16, -36 pts

That's what they deserve for building their offense around two mid-range chuckers in Softridge and Dumbarr.

[Mugen]

That faggot Forbes finally hitting a 3

[spurs1990]

DeRozan passed up a wide open 3 to pass it to Aldridge on the block? You're down 12 man

[tbdog]

So sad seeing the Spurs like this. So sad to see the league like this. 3s are so boring now.

[itzsoweezee]

DeMar not even pretending to try to close out on the open 3 point shooter is exactly why I hate his guts. I can't wait until this dude is off the team

[TimDunkem]

Threes man. That's it. Threes. Apart from that, we out played them. But they take and make threes and we don't take or make.

It's almost like it's an important aspect in winning games these days.

[sasaint]

Oh, yeah, you're down by 12. Pass up 3's to try and get a better 2 point shot. Fuck me.

Yeah, but Bryn finally showed us!

[Mugen]

Can't wait til Friday so Lonnie can go back to the bench for that Italian POS :lol

[Slippy]

lol, Pop treats Forbes like he's Klay Thompson. Why does this scrub keep getting shots?

Still trying to get over the love affair his coach has for him. Tonight he truly stunk up both ends from get go. He got rewarded with more mins in the 4th.

The only midget that should be playing is Patty .

[TimDunkem]

That's what they deserve for building their offense around two mid-range chuckers in Softridge and Dumbarr.
Add Gay, Murray, and Poeltl to that list as well. They prefer the 2 to the 3.

[SpurPadre]

For a brief spell, I started coming around on Forbes being an NBA player but I'm not sure he'd last longer than Simmons in the NBA outside this team, tbh.

[FkLA]

Damn we suck, boys. This is the type of game at home, against middling teams that the Spurs always used to find ways to win even last year. :(

[spurs1990]

Another bad stat

1199898337757011968

[sasaint]

36 more points in 3s

That's this season's theme.

[murpjf88]

They're the second worst team in the league behind the knicks and they have two supposed all stars on the team. It's just bad, overrated, hiding in Tim Duncan's shadow coaching.

[TimDunkem]

For a brief spell, I started coming around on Forbes being an NBA player but I'm not sure he'd last longer than Simmons in the NBA outside this team, tbh.

Let's be real...he's a charity case. Him and his kids would be in the soup line if it wasn't for Poop and the Spurs forcing him into the league.

[Chomag]

You can't start and play G- League players AKA Bryn Forbes and expect to win games.

[Kurgan]

DeMar not even pretending to try to close out on the open 3 point shooter is exactly why I hate his guts. I can't wait until this dude is off the team

His defense was spectacularly bad in that 4th quarter. Whatever mediocre offense he gives you(20 points on midrange shots) can't offset what he takes away on the other end. There's no coincidence that he ranks at the bottom of every On-Off chart for the Spurs. He just doesn't impact games in a positive manner.

[Barfunk]

FUCK POPOVICH

[NASpurs]

You can't start and play G- League players AKA Bryn Forbes and expect to win games.

When we had the big 3, we could get away with it. Too bad Pop thinks he's still in pre-2010.

[ZeusWillJudge]

If I have to watch the Spurs lose, I would much rather see the young guys. They're more entertaining, and they will get better. Brynn, Patty, Beli aren't going to get better. I'm not sure featuring the young guys would have resulted in any more losses, either.

I am really, really tired of watching the same shitshow every game.

[Barfunk]

Look, I love the old Popovich and what he's done for this franchise but it's obvious he's the problem.

[DPG21920]

Lonnie was fun to watch. Saw some White/Murray. Defense has a good stretch when Pop limited it to only one bad defender on the floor at once. But he went back to 2-3 poor defenders at once and it crumbled.

[timtonymanu]

Keep getting exposed and shitting on your legacy, Pop. Can’t retire any sooner

[Kurgan]

Still trying to get over the love affair his coach has for him. Tonight he truly stunk up both ends from get go. He got rewarded with more mins in the 4th.

The only midget that should be playing is Patty .

When Bryn Forbes is your third option you either have a shit roster or a shit coach. Unfortunately for us, it's both.

[Jordan Jackson]

This team is so anti-clutch. I know it's popular to say that the offense isn't the problem but that's not true. They simply can't keep up with other offenses for 48 minutes. They see other teams seamlessly reach back and launch bomb after bomb but our players just don't have that repertoire. Of course, the defense is a problem too but this offense is antiquated.

Teams are letting it fly from the perimeter because there is no resistance. Shit, players are just walking into shots bc they can just shoot over Mills and Forbes. DeMar is a clown as well on defense.

Every team is going after the Spurs via the 3 point
line and rightfully so. Nothing will change until Pop stops putting those guys out there.

[spurs10]

I guaransheed you if they put in Duncan or Becky as interim, they'd rip off a 14 game win streak. I wish. I'm not sure they are bringing anything to the table. If they are afraid to speak, they shouldn't be there and if Pop is refusing to listen to them...... they shouldn't be there.

[JeffDuncan]

Well, I enjoyed seeing Lonnie play.

[Mugen]

Your roster is severely outgunned when it comes to 3pt shooting?

So what does this genius coach to do? Tries to outgun other teams by giving his "shooters" all you can eat minutes. Instead of relying on the athleticism of your young guys (Lonnie, DWhite, Dejounte) and trying to create havoc on defense and getting out in the open court, this old fuck always has a garbage No3/NoD player out there at all times then tries to slow it down on offense with fucking Derozan and Lamarcus.

What an absolute disaster of a coach this year. The Spurs would be a .500 team with any other coach in the league. Any single other coach in the league. I absolutely fucking believe that.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Lonnie was fun to watch. Saw some White/Murray. Defense has a good stretch when Pop limited it to only one bad defender on the floor at once. But he went back to 2-3 poor defenders at once and it crumbled.


The bad sort of took the fun out of the good. Especially since I don't have any reason to think we'll see any of those good things next game.

[SpurPadre]

Teams are letting it fly from the perimeter because there is no resistance. Shit, players are just walking into shots bc they can just shoot over Mills and Forbes. DeMar is a clown as well on defense.

Every team is going after the Spurs via the 3 point
line and rightfully so. Nothing will change until Pop stops putting those guys out there.

Agreed but that still doesn't change the fact that this team doesn't have an offense that can compete for a full 48 minutes.

[JeffDuncan]

BTW, it looked like Becky was responsible for the challenge on that KAT charge into DDR. One of the replays showed Pop in the background and he wasn't even looking that direction when it happened.

[TimDunkem]

Yeah I've been watching a lot of games so far. There are some bad coaches who would either not play a promising prospect, play favorites with a poor player, make bad coaching decisions, or zig when he should zag.

But there is no coach doing all of the above like Poop this season. Not one. He is bad this year....No not bad...straight up fucking awful.

Not that it matters though. He still put together a bad team and wouldn't make the playoffs even if everyone reached their ceiling.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

If I have to watch the Spurs lose, I would much rather see the young guys. They're more entertaining, and they will get better. Brynn, Patty, Beli aren't going to get better. I'm not sure featuring the young guys would have resulted in any more losses, either.

I am really, really tired of watching the same shitshow every game.

Exactly :tu

[Mugen]

Still, awesome game all around:

-Lonnie absolutely embarrassing the old fuck
-Spurs have been easy money all season long
-Another L towards the tank

[SpurPadre]

Let's be real...he's a charity case. Him and his kids would be in the soup line if it wasn't for Poop and the Spurs forcing him into the league.

We can say the same about Gary Neal, Bonner, Ayres, and Joffrey, tbh.

[RC_Drunkford]

This team is so anti-clutch. I know it's popular to say that the offense isn't the problem but that's not true. They simply can't keep up with other offenses for 48 minutes. They see other teams seamlessly reach back and launch bomb after bomb but our players just don't have that repertoire. Of course, the defense is a problem too but this offense is antiquated.

this team doesn't have enough 3-point shooters. Wolves were daring Derrick White to shoot all night and he only made 1/6. Our PGs are not good 3-point shooters and Carroll/Lyles are too inconsistent. Rudy and Forbes were just off tonight. Team is garbage no matter how you put it

[Budkin]

Lonnie was awesome despite the shit ending.

[TimDunkem]

We can say the same about Gary Neal, Bonner, Ayres, and Joffrey, tbh.

Neal was actually kind of clutch and Bonner could at least get his hands up and annoy dudes. Forbes is just fucking useless and is nothing more than a coaches pet.

[RC_Drunkford]

Yeah I've been watching a lot of games so far. There are some bad coaches who would either not play a promising prospect, play favorites with a poor player, make bad coaching decisions, or zig when he should zag.

But there is no coach doing all of the above like Poop this season. Not one. He is bad this year....No not bad...straight up fucking awful.

Not that it matters though. He still put together a bad team and wouldn't make the playoffs even if everyone reached their ceiling.

worst coach in the league this year

[sasaint]

The play of the game - that bullshit reverse whatever by Marco...?

[timtonymanu]

Still, awesome game all around:

-Lonnie absolutely embarrassing the old fuck
-Spurs have been easy money all season long
-Another L towards the tank

Exactly :tu

[ZeusWillJudge]

Agreed but that still doesn't change the fact that this team doesn't have an offense that can compete for a full 48 minutes.


You realize that the Spurs made more FG's than the T-Wolves, and they took a LOT more FGA's? Remember when the Spurs almost always shot more FT's then their opponents? They played disciplined team defense. Lately they're giving up more than they're getting. Poor defense is still a big part of this. If they take more FT's than the Wolves, it's still a tossup game, even with all the extra 3's. Not to mention that a lot of the 3's were the result of terrible defense.

The only way this shit roster gets back above .500 is by putting defenders on the floor.

[RC_Drunkford]

Your roster is severely outgunned when it comes to 3pt shooting?

So what does this genius coach to do? Tries to outgun other teams by giving his "shooters" all you can eat minutes. Instead of relying on the athleticism of your young guys (Lonnie, DWhite, Dejounte) and trying to create havoc on defense and getting out in the open court, this old fuck always has a garbage No3/NoD player out there at all times then tries to slow it down on offense with fucking Derozan and Lamarcus.

What an absolute disaster of a coach this year. The Spurs would be a .500 team with any other coach in the league. Any single other coach in the league. I absolutely fucking believe that.

I agree with you 100%. Jim Boylen would have a better record with this team than Flopovich

[TimDunkem]

Spurs don't really have defenders though and those that can defend don't give much offensively. Piss poor roster construction, tbh.

[sasaint]

this team doesn't have enough 3-point shooters. Wolves were daring Derrick White to shoot all night and he only made 1/6. Our PGs are not good 3-point shooters and Carroll/Lyles are too inconsistent. Rudy and Forbes were just off tonight. Team is garbage no matter how you put it

I do not completely agree. Lyles was starting to show some confidence and consistency, and who knows about Carroll. If he ever got some consistent rotational minutes, we might get a sample large enough to determine if he was consistent. Wasn't he a DNP again tonight?

[ducks]

Time to Dnp some players and let walker play

[Dancelot]

I know we already lost a ton of games and PO weren’t looking likely but I feel like this was the nail in the coffin on the season and any hope of making the playoffs.

[RC_Drunkford]

It might work, which is why I prefer Carroll starting instead of Forbes. But you know, the head coach won't do that. Which is why they will never get consistent minutes for us to get a larger sample size to figure out if what you said is true or not

[itzsoweezee]

His defense was spectacularly bad in that 4th quarter. Whatever mediocre offense he gives you(20 points on midrange shots) can't offset what he takes away on the other end. There's no coincidence that he ranks at the bottom of every On-Off chart for the Spurs. He just doesn't impact games in a positive manner.

Exactly, he holds a team back as much as he contributes.

[Slippy]

You can't start and play G- League players AKA Bryn Forbes and expect to win games.

This . That's why its pointless bagging Demar and LA game.

Bryns and MarCo are starters and role players playing consistent mins . Didn't matter how bad or ineffectual they played today . POP still played them . That has to stop.

The other guy is Rudy . like other days , he was off today a well . POp should of recognized and gone with Trey or Demarri . Didnt happen. He has his favourites

[spurs1990]

Let's keep hanging on until Murray's minutes restriction ends. That could be the spark that turns around the sinking ship

[MoSpur02]

I'm not one to worry too much. Especially this early in the season, but this is right down scary. Worrisome. Our defense sucks. The players look disinterested.

[SpurPadre]

I'm not disagreeing with that but they also made more FGS and took more FGA's than we did in the 4th because they can reach back unlike us. Our problems are on both ends.

[SpurPadre]

Neal was actually kind of clutch and Bonner could at least get his hands up and annoy dudes. Forbes is just fucking useless and is nothing more than a coaches pet.

You mean clutch like letting a shoeless player score over you?

[ZeusWillJudge]

It's relative. Better defenders than Bryn, Patty, and Beli. Basically everyone else.

Hey! Miller had one shoe on. He wouldn't have even needed that one if Forbes was the one guarding him that night. :lol

If only this team had...well...anyone else coaching them.

I understand. But this is the roster they have. I think they can scrape out more W's with defense. I don't think they have another gear they can shift to on offense. I still think they have to stop the bleeding with D.

[SpurPadre]

It's relative. Better defenders than Bryn, Patty, and Beli. Basically everyone else.

Don't get me wrong, Bryn, Patty, nor Beli have the offense that I want more of. We are poorly constructed and fucked unless we make many personnel changes.

[ZeusWillJudge]

LOL. Common ground.

More common ground.

MVPoeltl +6 tbh...Poop is a moron for not playing him more per par... :wakeup

[8sy21vd]

A ship lost at sea.

A ship lost at sea.

And it has holes in it while being captained by a drunken, old, madman.

[SpurPadre]

Can't argue with that but Neal was still a scrub that the system made look decent...until the Miller embarrassment.

[Jordan Jackson]

Agreed but that still doesn't change the fact that this team doesn't have an offense that can compete for a full 48 minutes.

Completely agree.

Thats why why they have to get it right on defense and try to
score out of it or generate extra possessions.

Mills/Forbes/Belinelli is lineup death.

I knew this game was over once Belinelli checked in with Forbes. The team can't make up what they give up.

[timtonymanu]

Can't argue with that but Neal was still a scrub that the system made look decent...until the Miller embarrassment.

Forbes is Gary Neal being put in the Danny Green role.

[TimDunkem]

Forbes is Gary Neal being put in the Danny Green role.

It's even more gross when you put it in those terms.

From Wing Stop to whatever Derozan and Forbes are :lol

Broken Wing, tbh.

the funny thing is Pop WANTED to trade Danny so he can start Forbes

[timtonymanu]

Sniffers: Danny was done. His shot is broken. It was a good move.

*proceeds to win a championship in Toronto and is starting for the best team in the league record wise playing the same role he was in San Antonio

[weeks]

Derozan's middling offense is not enough to offset his terrible terrible defense.

you just described most of this team

[timtonymanu]

Those non-contender Lakers adding on to their win streak. Right, degoat?!

FTL tbh. But I’m not dense like you to think they aren’t a contender, especially when you look at the state of our team right now. :lol

[KobesAchilles]

Pop is doing everything he can for the franchise tbh. This season is a win and idk why y’all faggots are complaining.

We get a Top 5 pick. Murray is brought along slowly and doesn’t injure himself again all while getting a feel for the game again. White gets healthy. Lonnie sits his ass on the bench while he learns the defensive system during practice and will play by January. Mills is playing great. We either trade Demar or he demands a trade. Literally no downside to this year unless you liked watching us lose in the 1st round every year.

This is the type of season we need boys. Everyone’s crying that we need a 3D SF, well the only way for us to get one is to draft one.

I’m with that except thinking Pop came into this season expecting to tank. Sniffers and him wanted to continue that playoff streak. Fortunately doesn’t look like the Spurs have to do much to tank, they’re already arguably the worst team in the league as is.
