Game Thread: Spurs @ Pelicans — Wed. (1/22) - 8:30pm/C — The Return of Zion

[ZeusWillJudge]

Why
the fuck
is Patty still out there?

[hoopdreams11]

belli still in pop wants to lose

[RD2191]

I miss Kawhi.

[sasaint]

Derrick!

[slick'81]

Why
the fuck
is Patty still out there?

50 million reasons why

[ZeusWillJudge]

Great block by Poeltl. No teammates to help.

[r0drig0lac]

:lmao Zion going ham

[RD2191]

:lmao just retire pop. Stay your ass in new Orleans

[sasaint]

Derrick, Slick.

[007nites]

WTF are we doing

[BatManu20]

DeMar resorting back to DeFrozen. Was fun while it lasted tbh.

[Robz4000]

Welp, knew the Spurs were gonna lose this one way or another.

[timtonymanu]

Always gotta find the funniest ways to blow a game lol

[spurs1990]

Okay so this is the Williamson they've been hyping. NBA three range

[slick'81]

Spurs still up 2,gotta hang on

[ZeusWillJudge]

LOl,

Pels "trainers" Clearly shot Zion up with something


3P juice? Give some to our players.

[TimDunkem]

With the way his career has started, I would definitely go with Oden. Pels are screwed.

Aged like milk, my friend. :lol

[YoungbuckMurray]

Is there a reason we are just leaving the #1 overall pick wide open as he’s on a heater?

[BatManu20]

Zion shitting all over us tbh.

[RD2191]

:lmao :lmao just move us to Seattle already

[Robz4000]

Spurs were up by double digits most of the way only to lose by double digits.

[timtonymanu]

This fucking team. Always so soft :lol

[slick'81]

Spurs lucky zion is just learning the ropes

[007nites]

is this for real?

[phxspurfan]

lol MVP chants after 5 baskets

[sasaint]

Pop needs to try Trey on Zion.

[Texas_Ranger]

wow he made open shots.... i am shocked.

[RD2191]

So fucking embarrassing tbh

[ZeusWillJudge]

Strong move by DJ.

[Genovaswitness]

what a fucking joke team

[spurstalk123456]

my god he's lights out from 3.. 4/4 NOW

[FkLA]

Let the pillsbury dough boy keep shooting those 3s. Not sustainable, imo.

[phxspurfan]

LeBron on the phone with Dell Demps asking to trade AD for Zion

[FkLA]

Marco "the closer" Shitinelli gonna play the entire 4th :lmao

[Uriel]

Thank fuck the Zion run is over.

[daslicer]

Can’t be upset at the spurs. This is all on Pop. He told the team to leave Zion wide open. It was by design and blew up in his face.

[Kurgan]

Defrozen choking against a fat rookie :lol He's the the highest paid guy on the team and he's deferring to Derrick White because he can't handle the big moment.

And some of the posters here wanted to extend this loser because he had a hot stretch of games.

[SpurPadre]

This team makes the Game 6 Spurs look like a clutch team.

[r0drig0lac]

Is there a reason we are just leaving the #1 overall pick wide open as he’s on a heater?

Pop

[Robz4000]

Let the pillsbury dough boy keep shooting those 3s. Not sustainable, imo.

It is against this team tbh.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Belli and Forbes out together to close, pels about to win by double digits

[sasaint]

Let the pillsbury dough boy keep shooting those 3s. Not sustainable, imo.

Nope. But it will be next game before he comes back to earth.

[Shakril]

Either Pop decided to play off Zion on Defense which backfired or Poeltl just screwed up big time.

[Darius Bieber]

Pelicans knew to start Zion against the Spurs cuz we’d actually make him look good.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Is there a reason we are just leaving the #1 overall pick wide open as he’s on a heater?


Haven't played defense all game. Why start now?

[$pursDynasty]

Rudy's diminished play hurting our bench rotation

[vander]

that was fun to watch tbh

[sasaint]

Can’t be upset at the spurs. This is all on Pop. He told the team to leave Zion wide open. It was by design and blew up in his face.

The Rope-a-Bron...

[BatManu20]

Ingram falling to the ground anytime there’s minimal contact because he sighs 90 lbs and the refs still call fouls. Terrible.

[FkLA]

Why the fuxk is Belinelli playing the entire 4th? Why is Brent out there alongside him?

[sasaint]

Why the fuxk is Belinelli playing the entire 4th? Why is Brent out there alongside him?

:pop: Because they are our closers.

[hoopdreams11]

pop forbes and belli out there why

[Robz4000]

Refs determined to get NO this win.

[Thomas82]

:lol I heard that

I knew I wasn't the only one!!

[slick'81]

Lets see how our spurs finish

[sasaint]

Ingram just took LMA to the cup.

[slick'81]

Lol josh hart

[sasaint]

Dijon... Meh.

[phxspurfan]

Lonzo Curry no more

[sasaint]

Pop wants this one. Dijon and Derrick together.

[RD2191]

Can't hit a fucking shot. Wow. Just fucking wow.

[slick'81]

Spurs gotta get a bucket

[sasaint]

Dude they teach you not to pick up your dribble when you're like 8 years old....

PG of the future!

[phxspurfan]

Spurs be leakin'

[ZeusWillJudge]

LOL. If the Spurs hold on here, they're in 8th place. Will that really make any of you feel better?

[sasaint]

Oh no. 50-50 LMA at the line i the crunch.

[r0drig0lac]

Fucking scrub Forbes

[spurstalk123456]

they're missing everything. lucky us

[BatManu20]

Forbes closing yet another game. Opposing team attacking him every time of course.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Forbes abused yet again on D

[FkLA]

Brent is so worthless. Giving up open 3 after open 3.

[RD2191]

Timely 3s keeping Pels in it. Smh.

Story of the game

[ZeusWillJudge]

Under a minute :pop: Lonnie, go play some defense.

[Ron Swanson]

Holy shit LMA hit both free throws in a clutch situation.

[slick'81]

Sit down scrub

[sasaint]

LOL. If the Spurs hold on here, they're in 8th place. Will that really make any of you feel better?

Not me. I am not even aware at this stage of the season what place we are in. I just root for my team.

[RD2191]

Forbes all emo on the sidelines lmao. Faggot.

[slick'81]

:lol Bryn sulking on the sidelines

[Uriel]

Damn. Pretty sad that I'm jealous of Dallas' pedestrian 27-16 record.

[sasaint]

Holy shit LMA hit both free throws in a clutch situation.

:wow:

[YoungbuckMurray]

DUDE mah BECKY just MADE pop do the Defensive Sub of Lonnie.. I'll get a clip of that later

please I would love to see

[SpurPadre]

LMA made both free throws with less than a minute to go?! WTF?! You've got to be shitting me!

[slick'81]

Game over

[Slippy]

Pop and his horrible rotations again, get belli out and get mills out (mills is ice cold).

His 4th quarter rotations are puzzling.he appears to be matching up for 3 quarters then panics with his pets to finish.

[sasaint]

I foul if I am the Pels.

[BatManu20]

What an awful last possession lol

[R. DeMurre]

In 18 minutes, Zion has half as many three pointers as DeRozan on the season. And he's not a shooter.

[RD2191]

LOL. If the Spurs hold on here, they're in 8th place. Will that really make any of you feel better?

As I said, I'm all in for a first round matchup with the Lakers. Give lebronze a scare.

[sasaint]

DUDE mah BECKY just MADE pop do the Defensive Sub of Lonnie.. I'll get a clip of that later

Can't wait. Little bitch is really asserting herself.

[007nites]

lol they didn't foul

[spurs1990]

Gentry should’ve let Williamson close out the game. He was on a roll

[Uriel]

Don't look now, but Spurs about to reclaim that 8 seed.

[Slippy]

Its seems every game is in rhe balance by the 4th. Doesnt matter what lead the spurs have.

Pop will blame it on excution.. This game Zion got subbed out. Got the spurs out of trouble and LA balling on offense

[slick'81]

3 game streak baaaby

[TimmyBuckets]

Van Gundy with the pristine truth about the media.

[FkLA]

Season high 3 game win streak

:flag:

[tbdog]

Good win. All the hype and we survived.

[cjw]

Ingram was horrible tonight. Zion was pretty bad until the fourth.

Solid road win and important in standings.

[slick'81]

Can't wait. Little bitch is really asserting herself.

:rollin:lmao

[Degoat]

Easy W! :flag:

[spurs1990]

Great game to watch. Williamson put on his mini show and the good guys pulled it out

[EasyMoney]

Good win, survived the Zion storm. No idea why pop out patty in for dejounte that quick stretch but nice to see Murray and white play together for more than 30 seconds. Now if only Lonnie is out there instead of patty next time

[Mugen]

Terrible win.

[RC_Drunkford]

first time Spurs won 3 in a row since October

[justinandimcool]

Aldridge came to play tbh.

[YoungbuckMurray]

His 4th quarter rotations are puzzling.he appears to be matching up for 3 quarters then panics with his pets to finish.

I agree. He should be closing with white-Murray-DD-Walker-LMA. Especially when we are trying to hold down a lead.

[BillMc]

Victory!:clap

[Genovaswitness]

fat fuck zion :lmao

[FkLA]

Can't wait. Little bitch is really asserting herself.

:lol

[Texas_Ranger]

hey spurs, how about next time dont leave the #1 pick wide open 4 times and perhaps he'll do nothing. fucking pathetic defense.

[GAustex]

Well done. Spurs had every chance to fold but no-they showed the mettle of a team that just might be jelling.
Congratulations to Pop and the Spurs.

[Keepin' it real]

Biggest win in over a decade!

[KDKSpurs24]

Zion is gonna make a huge impact when he gets a rhythm and off minutes restriction. They are bound to have a few good win streaks when that happens.

Ingram killed them

[Uriel]

Spurs reminded the national media today that they're not totally irrelevant this season.

[RC_Drunkford]

DUDE mah BECKY just MADE pop do the Defensive Sub of Lonnie.. I'll get a clip of that later

I saw that. Instantly thought she's probably telling Pop to sub in Lonnie for Forbes. Then I saw Mills for Murray and thought WTF. After that I see Forbes on the sidelines and Lonnie on the court

[boutons_deux]

ESPN pimped Zion before, all during and, after the game.

[sasaint]

https://media1.giphy.com/media/RtJsjpkP5lHHy/giphy.gif
We need a Development guy Like Patches to throw wrenches at him when he does that shit
:lmao :tu

[Mugen]

Spurs reminded the national media today that they're not totally irrelevant this season.

They're absolutely irrelevant this season, especially to the national media :lol

[FkLA]

Zion got lucky with those threes. No way he shoots even 30% with that release. Pretty dominant win aside from pillsbury dough boy's fluky explosion.

[Mr. Body]

Imagine arguing the Spurs should have traded for Ingram.

[sasaint]

I saw that. Instantly thought she's probably telling Pop to sub in Lonnie for Forbes. Then I saw Mills for Murray and thought WTF. After that I see Forbes on the sidelines and Lonnie on the court

Hell, if he just subs Fitty for Bryn, that's a step in the right direction. THIS is a giant step!

[Capt Bringdown]

Anxious win. How I dread Spurs 4th quarters this season.

I don't think Chunk-Zion has the body to persist over an NBA season, but we'll see.

[Mugen]

That win was good in that it probably will force that bible thumping POS Dave Pasch to slit his wrists tonight :lol

[sasaint]

Spurs reminded the national media today that they're not totally irrelevant this season.

I want some of what you're smokin'. Can you hook me up?

[HarlemHeat37]

Zion looked like trash, tbh. His points explosion was all on wide open 3s that Pop was begging him to take. I'm not going to write him off, that's dumb, he's barely seen the court, but he clearly needs to drop some weight.

Pop is going to lead the Spurs to the playoffs, as usual. He's still got a lot left in the tank.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Those Saints Trainers shot him up with Taradol, I'm sure of it


LOL. Toradol isn't even a controlled substance. Like super Motrin. Fucks with your kidneys, though. Shit gave me a kidney stone. Yeah, they might have given him Toradol.

[sasaint]

Van Gundy with the pristine truth about the media.

Van Gundy? What did he say?

[daslicer]

One thing that I found funny reading on other message boards is how people were screaming Zion was garbage/bust and then when he had that 5 minute stretch in the 4th they all started dickriding him. He went from bust to MVP candidate within 5 minutes.

[Spursfanfromafar]

The Spurs' barometer is Derrick White. When the dude balls, the Spurs win. Such a good and smart defender/playmaker. In White, Murray, Walker and Poeltl, the Spurs' future in here and now.

[sasaint]

What to make of Pop's handling of Bryn in the 4th quarter of the last 2 games? Is Becky slowly weaning Pop from his midget/pet addiction?

[itzsoweezee]

Lol. This might be the dumbest basketball take I've ever seen.
He scored 17 points in a 3 minute span in the first NBA game of his career. STFU

[GAustex]

SA played off of Zion. They wanted no part of him flying into the basket and hanging off the rim. Me thinks his three outburst fluky.
Good win for Spurs who did not fold under the pressure.
It helped NO missed some shots though.

His 3 point shot was flat so I tend to agree that it was fluky.

[hoopdreams11]

beli with 17 minutes?

[KobesAchilles]

We are winning this one boys. Ingram will have a shit game
Bump

[sasaint]

Victory!:clap

A 3... count em: 1...2...3! game win streak! feels like 15 in the good old days!

[BillMc]

A 3... count em: 1...2...3! game win streak! feels like 15 in the good old days!

:bobo Flashback! To the last 22 years that have terribly spoiled us fans.

[justinandimcool]

Van Gundy? What did he say?

Pasch said something like no matter who wins we will all remember the Zion highlights. Van Gundy basically called out the media for that line of thinking, he says he will remember who won the game because that’s what basketball is about

[FkLA]

Lol. This might be the dumbest basketball take I've ever seen.
He scored 17 points in a 3 minute span in the first NBA game of his career. STFU

Nope he's right. It was a fluky outburst. He can probably still be pretty dominant inside. A lot of power and explosion there.

Definitely overhyped though. He's much closer to being the next Blake Griffin (before he could shoot) than a once in a generation type guy, tbh.

[RD2191]

Lol. This might be the dumbest basketball take I've ever seen.

Wide open tbh. His shot looked flat as hell.

Agreed on the first part. I don't see him lasting more than his rookie contract if he doesn't lose about 40 pounds.

Disagree on the Spurs making the playoffs, the RRT is going to do them in. Pop has been a serious problem this season with his ridiculous rotations and lack of game planning to start the season.

[TheRemix]

Those 3s by zion were wide open by design. Not too impressed yet. He did solid for his debut though. Glad the spurs rained on their parade

[boutons_deux]

I'm sure the fans are pissed Zion sat on the bench for the last 8 minutes

[RD2191]

Just looked at the schedule, yeah the Spurs are fucked. Might go 1-6.

[HarlemHeat37]

Lol. This might be the dumbest basketball take I've ever seen.
He scored 17 points in a 3 minute span in the first NBA game of his career. STFU

He was being intentionally left wide open, that's all you need to know about how the Spurs viewed him up to that point:lol. Almost any NBA player can get hot on open shots.

First step was slow, no explosion, really nothing impressive outside of wide open shots, not sustainable.
When he was covered, he looked bad.

Again, not writing him off after 1 game, but he didn't show anything. I'm sure he will look better with more time on the court and playing his way into shape.

[ducks]

Spurs' next 5 before the RRT:
PHX
TOR
At CHI
UTA
CHA

They can reach .500 by going 4-1. It's doable, but would require beating at least one playoff-caliber team at home and not mucking up the rest.

[ducks]

Will Guillory
@WillGuillory
Zion Williamson between 8:52 and 5:44 in the 4th quarter:

3-point make
Alley oop layup
3-point make
Missed layup
Putback layup
3-point make
3-point make
1-of-2 at the free throw line

I have to say he was pretty quick on his feet on that 2nd rebound for a putback. If he plays point forward, he could create open looks for their shooters and alley-oops tbh

That quickness to get to his own miss and put it back in was trademark Zion. If he stays healthy, he will be a matchup nightmare. But if the Pels trainers are trying to re-tool the way the guy actually WALKS, much less runs, then I think he is likely to be Greg Oden 2.

[Seventyniner]

I just want to know how high Zion could jump if he weighed a sane amount.

[HarlemHeat37]

Other than injuries, the biggest concern I'd have about his weight is how terrible he looked defensively. Comfortably the worst defender on the floor.

[Mr. Body]

No rim protection at all in the NOP and the Spurs knew it.

That Pelican team has the worst medical staff run by football guys. I'm curious how they would handle Zion weight issues. Those legs are just not going to support that weight especially with how he like to take off for huge dunk

His second jump is extremely quick. That, combined with his ridiculous vert and nonstop motor is amazing. He is going to be an excellent rebounder from that alone.

He showed comfort handling the ball and making effective passes. He can score down low against guys much bigger than himself.

At a minimum, he will be an elite small ball center. And he doesn't have to be an awesome 3 point shooter to be effective. If he can shoot at least around 33%, that will be enough to make him very difficult to guard.

This dude is worth the hype

[XDT76]

Not me. I am not even aware at this stage of the season what place we are in. I just root for my team.

Same here I gave up on the standing, just wish the Spurs play some decent game. DJ and DW had been playing better these few games, hope they can pickup the standard and stay consistent.

[BatManu20]

S/O to LMA for his under-appreciated 30 & 14 performance tonight :tu. He carried us.

[John B]

I think Pop has found his 3/4 guards and center line-up. It would be fun to watch if they make that click, 3 long guards, DDR who can score on any defender, and an outside shooting center who can also bang inside.

[XDT76]

The problem is outside of this lineup we have almost no one else

[Fireball]

good win

[John B]

The problem is outside of this lineup we have almost no one else
On the contrary our 2nd unit is the 4th highest scorer in the league.
That 4 guards / center lineup is not starting of course. But I can see Pop using that. The only thing is, the ball stops at DDR. Sure he can penetrate and pass but he kills the momentum.

[DPG21920]

That was a big win. No was playing good ball lately and once Zion got going felt like a good time to crumble. But they didn’t.

[Slippy]

https://youtu.be/mkPSh-pfASw



BRYN showing his disappointment and smug walk. Its called matchups Mr forms. You don't matchup and Becky is my womAaaaan . She knows what required to win. Thank God she has pops ear.

[tbdog]

^ Whats the point of that video. That Becky is doing her job? And whats up with the yellow curser when Pop went to speak to White about how he handle that last possesion?

About 50% of our 2nd line up scorers is in the 4 guard line up. Maybe whoever left can still provide some offense but will surely be destroy on defense outside of Poeltl

[bdictjames]

Just happy for Zion that he's back man. Hopefully he gets to lose some weight and be a beast out there.

[Coach X]

Spurs' next 5 before the RRT:
PHX
TOR
At CHI
UTA
CHA

They can reach .500 by going 4-1. It's doable, but would require beating at least one playoff-caliber team at home and not mucking up the rest.

Tougher schedule than what it seems.We competed in Toronto but Gasol and Vanvleet were out. It will be really hard to beat Raptors and Jazz with their full squads. Spurs should beat the Suns but they lost again at home so I can imagine they'll try their best in order to keep on the playoffs contention. After the game, flight to Chicago and second game in a back to back. After hosting the best team in the league now (Utah) Spurs face a must-win home game vs Hornets.

If Spurs'd play Hornets at home first, then host Chicago and B2B flying Toronto; having the Suns at home next Wednesday and finishing receiving Utah, the schedule would be much easier: three comfortable games at home, rest and play the youngs in Toronto and fight Utah at home in a winning streak, rested and after a couple practices planning the game.

Rodeo Road Trip looks scary. B2B in Los Angeles to begin with, then the two more important games in Portland and Sacramento, finally another tough B2B before the All-Star, visiting Denver and Oklahoma City. After the all-star game, Utah and OKC again and first home game is vs Dallas. Let's see if playoff hopes are still alive at the end of February.

[GreekSpursfan]

Only thing that can guard Zion is his weight and i'm afraid its gonna guard him really well. I dont see him lasting long with that body and if he loses weight he's not gonna be the same player. His athleticism with that weight makes him unique, he loses it, its over.

[Slippy]

^ Whats the point of that video. That Becky is doing her job? And whats up with the yellow curser when Pop went to speak to White about how he handle that last possesion?

With all the comments from others as well, I thought it was self explanatory . For me , It illustrates attitude Bryn displays when things arnt going well or in this case to his liking. Pop did that sub to matchup and Bryn strutted his stuff .

FInally we seeing an assistant taking an active role in matters and Influence pop.

Anyways I think Drewie probably best explains his use of the yellow curser. Hahah

[vavvi]

Kudos to LMA tbh

[boutons_deux]

A 3... count em: 1...2...3! game win streak! feels like 15 in the good old days!

I remember a 13 game streak by NBA Champions in Dec 03, where Tony avg'd about 10 AST / game. well above his career avg, a pass first PG for a wonderful stretch rather than a shoot first PG

[Slippy]

Just watched the last 2 min again. Bryns d to give away a 3 at the 1min mark was of the matador kind again. At the next stoppage he literally argues with Pop gesturing his hand. Im assuming he suggesting he had hand in face. Which was absolute BS

Pop gives this guy alot of leeway but I'm really glad he was subbed out on the next stoppage.

When watchin film they will see he nowhere near his man. That hand up was hoping his man would miss.

[RC_Drunkford]

3 in a row is big, 8 in a row would be better to survive the rodeo road trip. Let's see if they can keep it going

Smallish Hands, questionable length height, and Wow is that dude Fat.....



But Fat guys doing non fat guys thing is fun, Curly, Belushi, and Farley, While it Lasts

yep, his arms have no defintion, carrying 20 pounds? too much.

otoh, how do knees and ankles know whether the weight is lean mass or fatty mass?

[Spurtacular]

Zion's dart threes won't always be falling.

He needs to get his weight down / fitness up to consistently dominate.

We'll see if that actually happens.

I get that he's just coming back from an injury, but conventional thinking is the weight will be a problem.

[tenbeersbold]

That Pelican team has the worst medical staff run by football guys. I'm curious how they would handle Zion weight issues. Those legs are just not going to support that weight especially with how he like to take off for huge dunk

Dude reminds me of a fatter Zach Randolph offensively
Defensively he looked pretty bad say like a Demarcus Cousins
