Game Thread: Spurs @ Suns — Mon. (1/20/20) - 8:00pm/C

[Xylus]

Everytime Rubio throws up a running bankshot I wanna die

[Slippy]

Just trading baskets now.. a unit with Marco Bryn and Demar aint gonna get stops. Comon pop it's obvious.

Get one 1 more defensive first guy out there.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Forbes with 21 points.

But wait... didn't he have 21 points in the first half?

[spurs1990]

Walker is just resting right. He should be back in d-ing up Booker

[sasaint]

White and Dijon pairing.

[tbdog]

One day I would understand why yanks get pumped when cheaply made t-shirt are being thrown into the stadium.

[Sugus]

Lonnie was playing some great defense on Booker; his length and jumping/agility allow him to contest shots that White just doesn't have the length to. While Marco gets blown by by Ricky Rubio twice consecutively. Guess which one gets more minutes than the other...

[sasaint]

Just trading baskets now.. a unit with Marco Bryn and Demar aint gonna get stops. Comon pop it's obvious.

Get one 1 more defensive first guy out there.

NOT trading baskets. Suns have cut a 20 point lead to 9... make that 6.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Get Forbes out he’s been hot garbage in the second half

[Darius Bieber]

Suns really gonna rally from being down 20.

[Robz4000]

Pop cost the Spurs another game by benching White when he was rolling.

[Genovaswitness]

damn. sniffers nowhere to be seen :lmao

[emanueldavidginobili]

I’ve seen this movie before

[BlackAndWhite]

It's comical. Spurs are done

[ZeusWillJudge]

One day I would understand why yanks get pumped when cheaply made t-shirt are being thrown into the stadium.


:lol I ALWAYS want one of those shirts. I'd push a kid or a pregnant woman out of the way to get one. Fucking Coyote never points the cannon my way.

[Darius Bieber]

White’s been hot and Lonnie played good D on Booker. Pop takes them both out. GOAT coach.

[ZeusWillJudge]

This is so damn laughable.

[sasaint]

Why are we suddenly going to the LMA ISOs?

[Genovaswitness]

sniff sniff sniff sniff

[Sugus]

FORBES getting blown the fuck by per par... In the game well into the fourth quarter per par... Spurs blowing leads per par :lmao

[sasaint]

This is so damn laughable.

LMA and Dumbmar leading the Suns' charge.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Simulator crew Pop :lol

[tbdog]

Get Forbes off.

[Genovaswitness]

demar :lmao

[YoungbuckMurray]

How is Forbes still in after all this?

[ZeusWillJudge]

Why are we suddenly going to the LMA ISOs?


:pop: This is how I always finish games. What's your point?

[Ron Swanson]

Beli in now. :lmao

[Shakril]

I dont understand the forced and rushed iso plays. Just use 24 seconds until you hae a good shot. It cant be that difficult.

[timtonymanu]

Lol all that premature sniffing of Brent from sniffers

[YoungbuckMurray]

Omg and he comes back with Marco and is now gonna go Marco and Forbes together

[KimmyGib]

Half time: In before Forbes goes ice cold and Suns tie up the game

:clap

[RC_Drunkford]

I knew by halftime it was gonna end like this :lmao

[BlackAndWhite]

Spurs DONE

[Slippy]

Demar at pf means spurs getting no rebounds.

Instead pop goes with Marco.

[TheRemix]

:pop: get in there beli and forbes and bring us home

[Chomag]

Umm....belli in? And also why the hell does Pop have Forbes on Booker? This line up I can't..

[Beartrucci]

Couldn’t watch game rn. Looking at updates did I just see a 13-0 run in last couple of minutes? Wtf?? :lol

[ZeusWillJudge]

Becky better be ready to force Pop to challenge a call or the Spurs are fucked.

[Shakril]

Suns are Killing spurs on the interior right now. Guess who is not playing right now for the spurs.

[Chomag]

Couldn’t watch game rn. Looking at updates did I just see a 13-0 run in last couple of minutes? Wtf?? :lol Belli and Forbes line up.

[YoungbuckMurray]

This loss is on pop

[Genovaswitness]

but I thought deshit was good now???

[John B]

I knew it :bang

[FkLA]

:lol Brent and Marco closing

[GINNNNNNNNNNNNOBILI]

😂😂😂 I figured this would be a repeat of the Houston game when I saw Forbes was 7-7 in the 1st half.... just need him to miss a wide open 3 to tie it now

[sasaint]

:pop: "For some reason we just can't execute down the stretch." Echoes in my ears...

[timtonymanu]

This shit every game is honestly comedy gold at this point. Keep it up, Pop. :lol

[TimDunkem]

Are we sure Poop isn't secretly tanking? How do you consistently push all the WRONG buttons at every turn? :lmao

[vavvi]

Our leaders are clutch as fuck against that Suns defensive juggernaut

[YoungbuckMurray]

Mind boggling pops inability to coach nowadays

[Slippy]

Its all Demar now offense and defense lastt 5min spurs are in real trouble iso offense, no rebounds and no stops. Think that's game folks.

[UZER]

Omg and he comes back with Marco and is now gonna go Marco and Forbes together

Walker learning to be Bruce Bowen on the bench.

[Shakril]

but I thought deshit was good now???

Be fair here, he really played well for a longs strech. He can have one bad game, and it wouldnt matter if Forbes/Belinelli would not gave away freebies for the suns.

[sasaint]

Belli and Forbes line up.

Old Reliable.

[TheRemix]

:pop: "what are you the coach now? You obviously don't understand the concept of spacing which is what forbes and belineli brings. Get over yourself."

[RC_Drunkford]

Pop is truly a genius. How many games where the team was up 15+ points in the 4th has he managed to turn into a loss this season?

[Darius Bieber]

Kinda sad that we’ve so quickly become the laughing stock of the league

[YoungbuckMurray]

He stays with the same lineup wow

[BlackAndWhite]

He's probably tired from that stretch of games

[Slippy]

Spurs won that first half. Lol

[ZeusWillJudge]

This has looked like a damn practice drill, where some 5'10" assistant stands around with a pad while the offense runs around him. Only the assistant is our starters.

[sasaint]

Its all Demar now offense and defense lastt 5min spurs are in real trouble iso offense, no rebounds and no stops. Think that's game folks.

That's the drill.

[daslicer]

Kinda sad that we’ve so quickly become the laughing stock of the league

The Knicks are the laughing stock of the league. Nobody cares about the Spurs.

[sasaint]

DERRRRRICK!!!

[benefactor]

:lol Forbes trying to save Pop when he's obviously tanking

[Shakril]

There is no excuse for Forbes AND Belinelli on the Court. NONE!

[Genovaswitness]

Be fair here, he really played well for a longs strech. He can have one bad game, and it wouldnt matter if Forbes/Belinelli would not gave away freebies for the suns.

b-but he had 5 good games out of 100+

MAX HIM :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Ron Swanson]

White :cry

[RC_Drunkford]

:pop: "For some reason we just can't execute down the stretch." Echoes in my ears...

that's exactly what he's going to say in the postgame :lmao

Followed by "this is MLK day" and " it's bigger than basketball"

[Robz4000]

White trying to overcome Pop and the red-hot Suns but I think it'll be too much.

[Shakril]

b-but he had 5 good games out of 100+

MAX HIM :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

The last 20 games he was good. What are you sniffing? Spurs definitly have bigger Problems than DDR.

[ZeusWillJudge]

DeRozan doing work on the boards there - maybe there's still a chance.

[Chomag]

Seth Forbes just chucking now

[sasaint]

Pop is truly a genius. How many games where the team was up 15+ points in the 4th has he managed to turn into a loss this season?

Do you know the answer?

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:lol Forbes trying to save Pop when he's obviously tanking

Thinking pop's tanking :lol

[TimDunkem]

Forbes BBIQ is so bad. You realize you have the lead right?

[FkLA]

:lol calling plays for Brent in crunchtime

[sasaint]

Any other coach takes this opportunity to make D for O substitutions.

[YoungbuckMurray]

No reason Lonnie shouldn’t be in on this defensive possession, same with Murray

[SupremeGuy]

Goddammit I can't help but root for the win but fuck we SHOULD BE TANKING :cry:drunk

[tholdren]

Suns made run when lma came back in. He's the worst.

[John B]

I knew it :bang

[james evans]

please God don't let Popovich send Forbes and Belinelli out there on defense out of this time out.

[sasaint]

Forbes BBIQ is so bad. You realize you have the lead right?

Lead?

[benefactor]

Thinking pop's tanking :lol
Of course he is. This team isn't doing shit and he knows it. Might as well shoot for a lottery pick to add to the rest of the young talent.

[tholdren]

No reason Lonnie shouldn’t be in on this defensive possession, same with Murray

They both are bad players and have terribly low bbiq. The end

[sasaint]

Marco missed a wide open Derrick on that OB. So that Dumbmar could go ISO.

[james evans]

Of course he is. This team isn't doing shit and he knows it. Might as well shoot for a lottery pick to add to the rest of the young talent.
wouldn't matter if he drafts some talent, buries them on the bench and keeps playing Forbes and Belinelli.

[Genovaswitness]

CLAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAANK

nice shot demar :lmao

[daslicer]

Thinking pop's tanking :lol

Agreed Pop is not trying to tank. He's just too damn stubborn to change his strategy. He wan'ts to believe in his mind that it will actually work. We have seen this for years. For example when he had a 3 year stretch of playing Blair-Bonner together despite it being obvious that both were defensive liabilities.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Worst end game execution of all basketball history...

[FkLA]

Any other coach takes this opportunity to make D for O substitutions.

:pop: My Brent and Belli got us here. They deserve to close.

[TheRemix]

What a move by book

[ZeusWillJudge]

They both are bad players and have terribly low bbiq. The end


Could we get some kind of ST rule that you aren't allowed to talk about anyone else having a low bbiq?

[Robz4000]

Spurs gonna miss their freebies, Booker will drain a go-ahead three with 4 seconds remaining, and DeRozan will chuck up a fadeaway brick to lose. It's literally happened a dozen times already this season, just replace Booker with any random NBA player's name.

[Slippy]

DWhite heroics might pull this one out. Don't like spurs second half again, even if spurs win.

Games wony or loss , It's groundhog day with Pop. Not sure what he seeing at this stage of season.

[james evans]

They both are bad players and have terribly low bbiq. The end
I'm assuming you actually are thinking Forbes and Bellinelli have high bball iq. I'm just assuming, but I truly hope that isn't the case

[BWS-1994]

Please not another iso play post time out...

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Of course he is. This team isn't doing shit and he knows it. Might as well shoot for a lottery pick to add to the rest of the young talent.

:lol He's out there yelling, trying every bit to win this game he's just incompetent with who to play. Been like this since Bonner Blair

[sasaint]

White trying to overcome Pop and the red-hot Suns but I think it'll be too much.

Gotcha.

[tholdren]

Worst end game execution of all basketball history...

Spurs known for this. Nothing new

[YoungbuckMurray]

Haha f*ck you Forbes

[FkLA]

Of course he is. This team isn't doing shit and he knows it. Might as well shoot for a lottery pick to add to the rest of the young talent.

Bro he's not tanking. :lol

[Robz4000]

:lmao they found another way to choke

[Leetonidas]

:lmao

[Chomag]

Lmao!!!!!! Forbes throws it away and then Belli fouls , you can't even make this shot up!!

[Darius Bieber]

Can’t get much more Spurs like than that.

[Uriel]

Holy shit.

[Genovaswitness]

foul on marco belinelli...can it get any worse

[Gibbz]

How in the hell was that not a foul against Aldridge? He was getting pushed into the backcourt.

[TheRemix]

Why can we never inbound the ball :lol

[BatManu20]

Spurs are a disaster.

[james evans]

spurs doing spurs shit at the end of the game. I'm shocked

[RC_Drunkford]

Bryn Forbes and Belinelli in the clutch :lmao :lmao

[tbdog]

Why is that a foul. I don't get the NBA anymore

[YoungbuckMurray]

Pops favorite toys showing up big again lol

[james evans]

how is that a foul on bellinelli if he's RUNNING AWAY FROM THE BALL???

[Uriel]

No way we win this challenge.

[FkLA]

WTF was that chickenshit pass by Brent :lol

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Flop

[John B]

Dumb Forbes. Why coukdn’t he just hokd thst and get fouled??

[RC_Drunkford]

:pop: "That's the corporate knowledge"

[vavvi]

Forbes is a clown

[Shakril]

Pop shoul put Poeltl in if the Challenge fails to protect the rim. Walker, White, Mills and Lyles as Perimeter Defenders. But i dont think he will.

[Uriel]

Forbes just needed to hold the ball........

[ZeusWillJudge]

How in the hell was that not a foul against Aldridge? He was getting pushed into the backcourt.


I know what you're thinking but at this point you don't blame shit on the zebras.

[tholdren]

Dumb Forbes. Why coukdn’t he just hokd thst and get fouled??

2 reasons. 1 hes scared. 2 hes trying to run out clock. Probably both.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Raise your hand if you thought Aldridge was going to make that first FT.

[james evans]

i think he'll miss one

[John B]

I knew it :bang

[sasaint]

LMA doing the typical LMA .500 clutch FT.

[spurs1990]

Why would Sean think they would try to miss with 6 seconds and a TO left

[John B]

Put Lonnie on Booker

[Uriel]

LMA is a massive FT choker.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs gonna lose this with a Booker 3. Book it.

[james evans]

what the fuck!!!! ok he's sending Walker in to be a scapegoat if we lose on a 3 or the game is tied. haha

[Chomag]

Worst end game execution that I think I have ever seen but I guess expected when you have Belli and Forbes closing

[vavvi]

The choke contest

[twincam]

Once again, struggling against non contenders.

[Robz4000]

I hope Booker hits a three in Pop's face.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

which 3 point shooter will they leave wide open tonight

[sasaint]

Raise your hand if you thought Aldridge was going to make that first FT.

After the Rubio miss, too, gave us the chance to go up 3! So LMA!

[TimDunkem]

Forbes is also a fraud. Most shooters want the ball in that situation. He did everything he could to give it up in that moment.

[JPB]

I never doubted...

[TheRemix]

Alright just put your tallest lineup out there

[sasaint]

Once again, struggling against non contenders.

That's what non-contenders do against one another.

[Robz4000]

:lmao what a low-IQ shot

[tholdren]

Trade lma.

[Arcadian]

Spurs edge out the Pops for the win!

That was a close one. Pop almost secured the comeback, but couldn't quite get it done.

[james evans]

yes. my heart was beating fast as that ball was in the air

[twincam]

They almost bit the big one...

[TheRemix]

Book missed the roll man

[TimDunkem]

:lmao what a low-IQ shot

It was a game of low-IQs.

[spurs1990]

First time Walker, Murray and White shared the court?

[John B]

This one I enjoyed!

[ZeusWillJudge]

LMA is a massive FT choker.


I am totally shocked that he didn't commit an offensive foul in the last minute. That's really his specialty.

[Genovaswitness]

spurs did everything in their power to lose. happy for th ewin but it didn't need to be anywhere near this difficult :lmao

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Pop's Dream line up
Patty Mills
Bryn forms
Marco Belinelli
Matt Bonner
Dejuan Blair

[Gibbz]

I can't believe Book missed it. In the air I had already given up.

[Manong Ginobili]

What an uninspiring win, as Marco and Forms played well enough for Pop to keep using them :lol

[BatManu20]

Terrible shot by Booker with 5 seconds left. Spurs somehow hang on.

[Xylus]

Book, what was that shot?

[sasaint]

Dumb Forbes. Why coukdn’t he just hokd thst and get fouled??

Because he would have gotten the ball stolen instead.

[vavvi]

Another feel-bad win. I'll take it!

[Arcadian]

:lmao what a low-IQ shot

That type of shot has unfortunately become the norm in the modern NBA. Nobody goes for the tie anymore.

[BWS-1994]

Pop's Dream line up
Patty Mills
Bryn forms
Marco Belinelli
Matt Bonner
Dejuan Blair

I thought he didn’t like Blair?

[Robz4000]

Suns lost this game, Spurs didn't win it. They get further away from a better pick while looking awful with no shot at the playoffs. Worst possible outcome.

[tholdren]

Pop's Dream line up
Patty Mills
Bryn forms
Marco Belinelli
Matt Bonner
Dejuan Blair

That doesnt even make sense

[SupremeGuy]

This middle of the road shit is fucking dumb. Either tank or play the guys with potential.

[JPB]

That last Forbes 3 was the game tbh

[Uriel]

A win is a win is a win. Spurs now just a half-game behind the Grizzlies for the 8 seed, albeit with better point differential (which portends better long-term success).

[Jeremy]

Book missed the roll man

Nobody will ever pass it to Ayton for an easy hoop. It's so frustrating man.

[Degoat]

All work is easy work! GSG :flag::flag:

[sasaint]

Pop's Dream line up
Patty Mills
Bryn forms
Marco Belinelli
Matt Bonner
Dejuan Blair

DeJuan Blair?!?! NO way! Pop ended up benching him. Ayres.

[BillMc]

Victory!

[tholdren]

It was a game of low-IQs.
Last time you saw intelligence on an nba court? ... .... .

[ZeusWillJudge]

We're Number Nine!!!!

We're Number Nine!!!!


What a shitty win that was.

[itzsoweezee]

What an uninspiring win, as Marco and Forms played well enough for Pop to keep using them :lol

Exactly. Forbes hit 8 three pointers. He's going to have throw away at least a dozen games before pop cuts back his minutes now.

[TheRemix]

Pop's Dream line up
Patty Mills
Bryn forms
Marco Belinelli
Matt Bonner
Dejuan Blair

Corporate knowledge through the roof

[Strategic]

In the bag

[TimDunkem]

Suns lost this game, Spurs didn't win it. They get further away from a better pick while looking awful with no shot at the playoffs. Worst possible outcome.

Slurpers and PATFO apologists will call this an "ugly but good win" and say these past two games are the start of a turnaround.

[tholdren]

This middle of the road shit is fucking dumb. Either tank or play the guys with potential.

Lololololol

[ZeusWillJudge]

Last time you saw intelligence on an nba court? ... .... .


2014

[Darius Bieber]

Fuck, this just means Pop’s gonna play Bryn more. Would have rather lost by 40+ than have Bryn get 24 points off of just threes.

[sasaint]

https://clutchpoints.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/01/NBA-trade-rumors-Spurs-view-Heat-as-potential-trade-partner-if-they-decide-to-move-LaMarcus-Aldridge-DeMar-DeRozan.jpg

Praying dog, gif.

[Slippy]

Well DONE pop. Saved by a Rubio miss. Haha

Pops 4th quarter lineups featuring Marco and Bryn are high risk low reward. Combine that with Demar at Pf - has it ever paid off this season? Defensively it's suicide . He had half season to work this out already.

[tholdren]

Fuck, this just means Pop’s gonna play Bryn more. Would have rather lost by 40+ than have Bryn get 24 points off of just threes.
Yes I wish he would play lonnie 36 minutes to get 4 pts on 12 percent shooting...

[sasaint]

Victory!

Whew!

[spurs1990]

Why would you want DeRozan and Aldridge traded though. It's Marco and Forbes that are sinking the team

[Arcadian]

Just the fact that we're always in a "down to the wire" situation against the worst teams in the league tells you all you need to know.

Spurs can erase another team's lead (because they get complacent), but they can't hold a lead of their own. That's the mark of a hopelessly mediocre team.

[tholdren]

Why would you want DeRozan and Aldridge traded though. It's Marco and Forbes that are sinking the team

The sun's came back as soon as lma re entered the game...

[sasaint]

2014

Wow, has Timmy been gone that long?

[TheRemix]

Why would you want DeRozan and Aldridge traded though. It's Marco and Forbes that are sinking the team

They're like empty calories. Yeah their stats look good but we're not winning shit with them here

[ZeusWillJudge]

LMAO. I like Derrick, but he's saying in the postgame that the Spurs "stuck together as a unit, and that's why they got the win." No, Derrick, you got the win because you got a 20 point lead, and couldn't quite manage to piss it off.

Of course, Sean said that the team had "turned a corner" now that they've been able to get some road wins. I feel like we must be watching different games.

[sasaint]

The sun's came back as soon as lma re entered the game...

They didn't dare attack the rim against Poodle.

[TheRemix]

Nobody will ever pass it to Ayton for an easy hoop. It's so frustrating man.

Yeah that's strange. Everyone's just trying to do too much

[sasaint]

Nah, they don't often erase another team's lead. Mediocre is this team's ceiling, achieved when the stars are aligned just so...

[Genovaswitness]

https://twitter.com/JeffGSpursZone/status/1219477133703176192

Spurs media makes me sick

Totally putting blinders on that he almost cost the game with that shit dfense in the second half thatn that retarted turn over...

local media is a cabal of sniffers

It's like an NFL team that has to keep settling for field goals. Even if they do win some game, you know they aren't going anywhere.

[RC_Drunkford]

what's funny is that this team has managed to win 3 games in a row only at the start of the season. 2 wins is a winning streak :lol

If they can win 4 in a row I might buy in that they have turned a corner, but I'll believe it when I see it

What dont you get about this? It is ENTERTAINMENT. The nba hyped players so you will watch and get triggered about things like who is the best, who should be traded, who sucks... you keep falling for it hook line and sinker. Sad to be you

[ZeusWillJudge]

Ima go to bed and look for the grades in the morning. That way I won't have anything in my stomach.

[tholdren]

Ok Mr Ellis or Tmvp or whomever you are....

Lol you follow nba.. you 13?

Popovich finally gave us a glimpse of the near future

1219478260800806915
Spurs could actually beat a lot of teams with that lineup White, Lonnie, Murray, Demar, Aldridge small ball

[SpurPadre]

This team is a special type of unclutch. It's unreal.

[SpurPadre]

In a close game with 1 minute to go, this team struggles immensely to make a bucket and has to rely on the other team missing shots, us making free throws...and overturning calls. But actually making "That's game" shots is almost impossible for this team. Shit, they can barely hold on to the fucking ball with a minute left.

Predictable AF.

[sasaint]

:pop: This is how I always finish games. What's your point?

One of the aspects of this season that has really turned me off as much as any other. We built a lead with movement and then abandon that in favor of LMA/Dumbmar ISOs in crunch time.

Wow, Pop on the post-game; his nose looks more and more like W.C. Fields'.

[Genovaswitness]

Sure Delonte, been a tough frew years for you. .You fuck Lebons MOM

A young players crumble and Murray can't run offense atm. So Pop just goes for his Duncan iso move for LMA.

Lebron put him there tbh.

[sasaint]

A young players crumble and Murray can't run offense atm. So Pop just goes for his Duncan iso move for LMA.

White runs the offense fine, but in crunch time the inbounds pass comes to him, and he immediately passes the ball to Dumbmar for him to go ISO. And I haven't noticed the young guys crumbling to justify moving to the ISO game. It is plain and simple Pop's catering to his "stars" and their need to pad personal stats.

[sasaint]

"I don't care how much wine I drank, I still wouldn't close with Marco and Bryn."

No. DD and LMA are not 'move without the ball' type of players. Half court offense really should be your best player making something happen. The problem is we play slow in the second half. So our movement dies down.

[sasaint]

Correct. Neither LMA or Dumbmar moves without the ball. So, you go with other players to play the style that enabled you to build the lead. Plus, Poodle prevents the other team from attacking the basket as they did when LMA was re-inserted.

[ZeusWillJudge]

I've watched enough W.C. Fields movies that I can't even read his "lines" without hearing him!


"If at first you don't succeed try, try again. Then quit. No sense being a damn fool about it."

Maybe someone should put that on a sign and send it to Pop to replace his damn pounding the rock quote.
