Game Thread: Spurs vs. Pacers - Mar. 2, 2020 @ 7:30 PM CT

[timvp]

LaMarcus Aldridge (shoulder) and Jakob Poeltl (knee) are both out. The Spurs can move into sole possession of the ninth (!) seed with a win.

Here's Kori's preview: https://www.spurstalk.com/preview-prediction-san-antonio-spurs-indiana-pacers/

[Arcadian]

Eubanks to start?

[Coach X]

At least we have some minutes to have fun wondering who will play the C today.

Popovich is probably starting with Liles and Gay, giving around 15 mins to Eubanks (and perhaps 10' to Metu ?), playing the infamous 4 guards line-ups a lot.

I'd personally take the risk of starting Eubanks, splitting the 48' at the C with Metu. Gay must earn his minutes at the PF playing some defense in the mean time Liles fills the role decently. I don't believe in the 4 guards experiment... Spurs system wasn't conceived for that.

Metu is with Austin unfortunately

[RC_Drunkford]

Automatic L. Sabonis will destroy the Spurs. Oladipo is a game time decision, so he will probably play. Pacers by 20+

Injury Update: Victor Oladipo (sore right knee) is OUT for tonight’s game.

[timtonymanu]

Blazers/Grizzlies win and a Spurs loss today please

[spurs10]

Thanks Kori! Go Spurs! I think we'll see a great game tonight!

:flag:

[DC23]

Aldridge still out? What the hell is going on? Does he not want to play anymore?

[slick'81]

Aldridge still out? What the hell is going on? Does he not want to play anymore?


Spurs arent risking injuries to any vet right now. Tank on!

[Leetonidas]

Aldridge still out? What the hell is going on? Does he not want to play anymore?

Tank is on

[Ron Swanson]

Lyles/Eubanks vs Sabonis/Turner :lmao

[r0drig0lac]

good start

[Ron Swanson]

Spurs on pace for 240.

[Gorepopovich]

Tanking sabotage, LOL

[8FOR!3]

Eubanks reminds me of Baynes when he was with us.

[Strategic]

Nice start for the young team

[RC_Drunkford]

This is a big opportunity for Eubanks. Hope he takes advantage of it.

[JeffDuncan]

Great start. I wish I believed it will continue.

[Ron Swanson]

No shutout. Damn.

[timtonymanu]

G league lineup beating the pacers to start :lmao

[Robz4000]

Lyles/Forbes outscoring Indy by themselves.

[Robz4000]

Rudy back to being ass.

[ducks]

4-0 week
Get this one

[bayareaspursfan]

Derrick white looks like he gained some weight sitting on the bench

[RC_Drunkford]

after halftime the Spurs are food

[JPB]

Steph Lyles

[tholdren]

Forbes mills 10000000 times better than hairdo

[slick'81]

Lol ewwwbanks

[TimDunkem]

Ewwwbanks is such a spaz. That's the third time he's fallen over someone tonight.

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs literally shooting out of their minds and still down lmao

[TimDunkem]

Should've picked Brogdon.

[JPB]

Today's NBA :lol

[TimDunkem]

Brogdon making plays. Dejounte can't even stay inbounds. :lol

[Leetonidas]

3 point chuckfest

[Capt Bringdown]

Brogdon making plays. Dejounte can't even stay inbounds. :lol

Murray is so annoying.

[Robz4000]

:lol I knew the rim protection would be bad but this is ridiculous

[slick'81]

Spurs getting currently shit on

[Robz4000]

Murray is fine imo. The problem is he's the only non-garbage defender out there.

[NASpurs]

:rollin

[slick'81]

Gay af

[Capt Bringdown]

Is DeRozan pouting about something?

[slick'81]

Is DeRozan pouting about something?

His life

lol 53% first half shooting and down 9

[ducks]

Walker to bench spurs sucked
Fuck pop

[ZeusWillJudge]

Is DeRozan pouting about something?

Sure as hell looks like it. I guess he did get his second FGA of the half. :lol

[Capt Bringdown]

Brogdon is a stud

[Leetonidas]

Derozan invisible out there

[Darius Bieber]

Grizz up 40 on the Hawks in Atlanta

[timtonymanu]

Grizz up 40 on the Hawks in Atlanta

Blazers win too, just need the Spurs to lose

[TimDunkem]

Brogdon is a stud

Yeah but let's pick the raw, rail thin, guard with shakey handles and a poor jumper, with court vision too limited to ever be a real PG. It's not like Brogdon really wanted to play for the Spurs or anything...

[ducks]

Grizz up 40 on the Hawks in Atlanta

Fuck you piece of shit

[ducks]

Blazers win too, just need the Spurs to lose

Fuck you piece of shit

[Capt Bringdown]

his life bruh his life

dude is a perpetual pouting machine

DeRozan and LMA -losers to their very cores.

[Darius Bieber]

Fuck you piece of shit

Just stating facts

[ducks]

Get the fucking w spurs

Where is the the fucking fire pop chant!
Show the world spurs fans you have balls !

[ducks]

What the fucking hell play walker 6 minutes out of 24 possible minutes

[ducks]

Pop is worse then fucking doc rivers

[ducks]

Pop is the most overrated coach all fucking time

[slick'81]

DeRozan and LMA -losers to their very cores.


But they're our core

[NASpurs]

Get the fucking w spurs

Wow, almost four coherent sentences from ducks. The retard is improving.

[weebo]

Show the world spurs fans you have balls !

Just stfu already bitch

[slick'81]

Derozan is soo fckn dmb

[Strategic]

Somehow I see Ewbanks as the difference in this game. My glasses must need cleaning.

[sasaint]

Brogdon Was behind MATHEW DELLAVEDOVA his first two years on as a BUCk and Spursmtalk is acting like he was a "STUD" from the JUMP also traded for PICKS to Indiana by Bucks last year to KEEP the FREEK.

LOL

Nope. From the jump Brogdon averaged more minutes and better stats including usage than Dellavedova.

[tholdren]

Yeah but let's pick the raw, rail thin, guard with shakey handles and a poor jumper, with court vision too limited to ever be a real PG. It's not like Brogdon really wanted to play for the Spurs or anything...

Murray is who casual fans wanted. Shitty player that played for a terrible college team. Who looked better because all he could do was play in transition. And that's what you fans want. ESPN highlights rather than wins. Ahhhhhh the lebron era.

[sasaint]

Didn't START most games until year 2 then became a starter year three was such a STUD he was traded to keep cap space for GREEK freek.

This are indisputable FACTS. You act like he is fucking Chris Paul, Derrick Rose, Allen Iverson, Damian Lillard Jason Kidd or something. throwing STUD around quite liberally instead of staying I like him better than DJ because DJ make you feel some kind of way.

I didn't even mention anybody else. Chill. You were just overstating your case. You have already corrected your first overstated post by saying he started games in his second year.

[slick'81]

Derozan gonna be mad

[tholdren]

DJ is just another reason that nba is about marketing not skill. This guy sucks. Yet hes better than hairdo

[Darius Bieber]

Yeah that’s not a goaltend. Other coaches trust their players and challenge. Pop’s dumbass doesn’t.

[sasaint]

Im overstating my case by saying Playing TIME leads to development and you're using the word STUD.

LOL

I didn't use the word stud. Wrong poster.

Truth is that some of us were very much hoping that the Spurs would pick a guy who was actively seeking to become a Spur, and we believed he would be very good. He is.

[ducks]

Yeah that’s not a goaltend. Other coaches trust their players and challenge. Pop’s dumbass doesn’t.

Pop only trust 44 but he is not on court or players
Mind on that not basketball

[tholdren]

I didn't use the word stud. Wrong poster.

Remember there are dipshits on here that said kyle Anderson's ceiling was magic and floor was manu....

[said7]

Lonnie has had the opportunity. Dude just disappears.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Put Keldon in

[TimDunkem]

No you just decided to Pipe in with some BS to defend those who I criticized with my statement about this dude not being ONE (a STUD)because wasn't a starter until year three was behind Dellavdova the majority of his first two years on the team and was TRADED to keep Space for the Greek freek.

You guys don't want to be pinned down on your bs.

:lol Implying Brogdon isn't good let alone better than Murray because he was traded to retain the flexibility to keep the fucking GREEK FREAK.

God you're a moron.

[tholdren]

Lonnie has had the opportunity. Dude just disappears.
You are 50 games late to the party. Or you could have watched in college. Shit for skills. Like murray. Too stupid to be a three and d guy

[sasaint]

No you just decided to Pipe in with some BS to defend those who I criticized with my statement about this dude not being ONE (a STUD)because wasn't a starter until year three was behind Dellavdova the majority of his first two years on the team and was TRADED to keep Space for the Greek freek.

You guys don't want to be pinned down on your bs.

The ONLY thing I pointed out was that you were overreaching by saying he played behind Delly his first two years. Does playing time help players develop - Sure. Did the Bucks trade him to keep the GF - sure. It is actually you who are using bs arguments against statements I never made.

[Slippy]

When is pop going to stop the bleeding. Get the ball in Pattys hands. Haha

spurs offense has gone to shit.. players that space the floor but cant get stops. Pop loves their game.

[tholdren]

No pg.

[sasaint]

So you are saying he STATING the Majority of his games the first two years in the league? OMG you're retarded. He started 48 of 123 games his FIRST TWO YEARS. Fucking FACTS... IRREFUTABLE...

That's clearly not what I said.

[Slippy]

DJ may show leadership qualities and be disruptive on defense. Still cant run a team however. Tonight is another example.

[ducks]

Walker playing spurs coming back!

[emanueldavidginobili]

White now 0-69 in buzzer beaters

[Slippy]

No pg.

Running plays for Patty . Pop The PG

[Strategic]

Miss layup at buzzer

[sasaint]

Thats the POINT NONE of you DONKS are CLEAR. I made a CLEAR STATEMENT you condescending DONK.


Nope. From the jump Brogdon averaged more minutes and better stats including usage than Dellavedova.

[ducks]

Play walker fucking pop!
See results !

[ducks]

Play walker spurs coming back !

[Slippy]

DWhite aside from TO running the team alot better ..spurs getting stops on other end helps.

Second unit getting spurs back into game

[TimDunkem]

You Donks to watch the NBA never watched the NBA and barely watch the SPURS thats why you make all these dumb retarded Shit post takes on everthing.

Brogdon is and has been better than Murray at every facet of the game from the get go. You're the only one around here with the dumb, shit takes. In fact, the amount of retarded takes have quadrupled since you started posting regularly. Please stop posting. :lol

[Robz4000]

:wow Lonnie!

[r0drig0lac]

WoW loonie

[Ron Swanson]

Lonnie gets one down! :wow

[TimDunkem]

So that's what it looks like when Lonnie finishes a dunk. :lol

[Capt Bringdown]

dunk of the year

[ducks]

Walker better be earning minutes next game

[r0drig0lac]

superstar offensive mode for Walker

[Capt Bringdown]

Walker better be earning minutes next game

Not sure if he's over himself yet

[Slippy]

Lonnie walker got it going folks.

Best dunk so far by Lonnie

Im now waiting for Pop to fuk it up with subs

[Leetonidas]

Lonnie Walker, my goodness.


Looks like he's still over himself :pop:

[Strategic]

That’s it right there

[Chomag]

[ducks]

Dunk!

[Chomag]

Lyles... doing his Forbes impression I guess

[Jordan Jackson]

Don't get too excited. Would not surprise me
if Pop goes with Forbes down the stretch because he can't help himself.

[Capt Bringdown]

Kareem Abdul Sabonis

[ducks]

Does Duncan even talk at game?

[Capt Bringdown]

DeRozan has to lead the league in getting stuffed

[boutons_deux]

The fourth quarter belongs to sabonis

[Chomag]

Forbes playing the entire 4th I guess...

[Capt Bringdown]

F'n Forbes

Sean Elliot: "you can't ask for a better look."
Fuck you, Sean.

[Slippy]

Walker better be earning minutes next game

After his last score Lonnie earnt himself 0 touches and now a benching.

[slick'81]

Fatty chuckers

[Capt Bringdown]

[TimDunkem]

Patty kicks his legs out and flops on every 3 attempt and it's pathetic.

[Barfunk]

Mills finally open and doesn't take the 3 smh

[Strategic]

Walker sitting down

[Leetonidas]

This team is so fucking pathetic :lmao constantly running the clock down on themselves. Fuckng idiots

[Capt Bringdown]

No balls. No one wanted to shoot it.
Pathetic, just pathetic.

[Slippy]

Its been all Patty the last 2mins .. what a joke of a offense.

[Robz4000]

This team has a subzero BBIQ.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Fuck it's fun to come here and see you guys go nuts over this every game. I thought you all wanted to lose and get that draft pick? Make up your minds...

[sasaint]

This.

[ducks]

Its been all Patty the last 2mins .. what a joke of a offense.

Why not go for 2 not 3 down only 3

I can’t wait for the offseason. This is tough to watch

[slick'81]

Lol corna in sa and lol spurs

Nice coaching

[Slippy]

Crazy what happens when you let the kids just play
After seeing them play he like to finish of with undersized floor spacers.

Todays Pop

[ZeusWillJudge]

This team is so fucking bad. SMDH.

[ducks]

Fatty was scared after missing his last two

He needs to grow a pair of balls

[tbdog]

One more loss and it's time to forget about the playoffs

[slick'81]

Lol 8th seed

[Capt Bringdown]

For DECADES now bruh

home of the 8th grade education

The average income of a San Antonio resident is $22,784 a year.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Lol 8th seed


Spurs are now poised to make a run at Phoenix.

[slick'81]

One more loss and it's time to forget about the playoffs


Its over bruh and beating the hornets doesnt change that

[Dancelot]

What is the deal with inbounding the ball this season?! They’re sooooo checked out

[emanueldavidginobili]

25 min for DJ 23 min for Derrick and 20 min for Lonnie!!! It’s literally ridiculous at this point smh. These kids need to be playing 30 min a night at least.

[GAustex]

Without Tim Duncan carrying him....poop ain’t done squat

[Strategic]

Leaderless team

[dude21]

OP is trash brah.. :lmao

[Darius Bieber]

Great day for the tank

[MannyIsGod]

Pop blew this game but y'all should be happy about that honestly. They're not making the playoffs. More entertaining games like this where we lose please.

[slick'81]

4 full games back. 12th seed

[paperboy77]

Pathetic effort from this soft ass team. DeMental was a total idiot, Pop still believes Forbes is Curry and where the hell is the top Soft-Dog himself? Pop made it sound like LA was good enough to play. I'm officially on the tank bandwagon. I mean what's the point if these bozos aren't going to play like it was the playoffs? Memphis shook off their shitty play of late AND have overcame a big injury to handle their business.

[ZeusWillJudge]

LOL. Who commented the other night about Orlando winning 3 qarters and losing the game? Tonight the Spurs won 3 quarters and lost the game.

[timtonymanu]

One more loss and it's time to forget about the playoffs

Was already unintentionally the case a couple games ago. This team is finished

[Darius Bieber]

Also good to see the ATT Center get emptier and emptier. Don’t support this sorry ass team.

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

How do you know when your team totally sucks? When Trey Lyles suddenly becomes the best player on your team.

[ducks]

4 full games back. 12th seed

Spurs 34 losses mem 31

[timtonymanu]

Tbh tanking sucks but it’s better than running back this group another season. So much deadweight on the roster that needs to go.

[Harry Callahan]

Pop will not get fired for this season, but some things on the bench and the Front office need to change.

None of the assistant coaches should be locks for being here next year outside of Duncan - he should be kept around only because of his history here.

The team needs to turn the page. This is a boring mediocre product at the moment. Indiana is a boring ass team, but they play way more as a smart team.

[Harry Callahan]

Eight pages for a game thread. The hard core fans are checking out just like the team. Can't say I blame anyone. This team is not very fun to watch right now.

[Genovaswitness]

all we should be doing right now is trying to get a good draft pick. honestly fuck this team as it's currently constructed. need some new blood in the mix, especially the coach

[Genovaswitness]

Eight pages for a game thread. The hard core fans are checking out just like the team. Can't say I blame anyone. This team is not very fun to watch right now.

it's pretty masochistic to watch the team at this point. trey fucking lyles is our best player right now. forbes is a starter. lineups with potential are shelved in favor of pop's pets. this team is fucking trash

[Chomag]

I have been watching basketball since 1990 and I would rank this team up there as one of the dumbest basketball team that I have ever seen BBIQ wise. They are so poorly coached it's insane!

[slick'81]

Pop trolling the media per usual

[slick'81]

San antonio is not tanking. If they were theyd be in the top 10 worst records by now

[tim_duncan_fan]

Let's get this top 10 pick baby!

[ZeusWillJudge]

San antonio is not tanking. If they were theyd be in the top 10 worst records by now


The Spurs have blown a couple of really crucial losses recently. They can't do anything right.

[Spurs Homer]

Why the fuck would metu not see any minutes?

this is the time to allow your young athletic kids to see some floor time to get acclimated and comfortable at this level

instead- the corpse of rudy gay?

lonnie starting to finally get going- gets benched?

mills jacking up brick after brick?

painful to watch

[DC23]

Brutal and heartbreaking loss

[Prime BEEF]

How do you know when your team totally sucks? When Trey Lyles suddenly becomes the best player on your team.
Yup. That shit hurts.

[TimDunkem]

Yup. That shit hurts.

But the slurpers will keep eating this Poop shit sandwich special and keep asking for seconds.

[slick'81]

Brutal and heartbreaking loss


Spurs will be fine

[DPG21920]

Pop blew this game but y'all should be happy about that honestly. They're not making the playoffs. More entertaining games like this where we lose please.

Agree. But it’s hard in the moment not to get frustrated at the rotations.

How has Pop not seen enough by now to try something new? How can he not be giving White/Murray wayyyyy more minutes together to see how it works?

How can White play A MASSIVE role in SA making the playoffs in a loaded West last year and yet not get an uptick in role/minutes this year? Because you have to find minutes for Mills/Forbes?

It’s maddening even if I want the losses. Anyone rooting for this team to limp into the playoffs is delusional.

[dude21]

Pop is trying to win. He always goes with the vets 100.

[DPG21920]

Spurs are trying to win. They have just failed spectacularly. It’s a combo of bad luck and terrible management. If they keep this team together...

[DPG21920]

Pop is trying to win. He always goes with the vets 100.

They arent winning though. Sure, if you are wining fine. But they aren’t. You have to adjust otherwise you aren’t coaching.

It is absolutely frustrating to watch this team and coach and I should stop watching. But it is also oddly fascinating to witness how shitty a coach pop is right now. I mean he is sooo bad. He has to be on drugs or something right? Right?

[dude21]

They arent winning though. Sure, if you are wining fine. But they aren’t. You have to adjust otherwise you aren’t coaching.

Pop going with porker in 2015. :lmao

[DPG21920]

Haha - no. He’s just having all his flaws exposed. Being slow to adapt or failing to make adjustments does not matter when you win 60% of your games. But when you are losing and don’t do those things? Stands out.

He’s just having a bad year coupled with poor management and some bad luck (Morris and Rudy falling off a cliff).

But SA had an easy schedule to start , healthiest team in the league and more continuity so hard to find excuses.

[Barfunk]

Man, Pop looked like a revolutionary coach in 2014. Now the dude is just doing everything in his power to try to lose.

[DPG21920]

Eight pages for a game thread. The hard core fans are checking out just like the team. Can't say I blame anyone. This team is not very fun to watch right now.

Spurs compared to other teams still a leader in fans tuning in. I’m just on twitter during the games more than here. Many are.

[Barfunk]

Dammit

[Prime BEEF]

But the slurpers will keep eating this Poop shit sandwich special and keep asking for seconds.
Yes, they want to be like the Cleveland Browns fans that have held out. They see being hardcore fans of a shitty team and franchise as a badge of honor to shove in everyone’s face. “Everyone look at us we’re so hardcore blah blah blah. The rest of you are fair weather pussies!”

For those types of fans they’d rather the losing ways to continue so that they can keep patting themselves on the back

[Barfunk]

Yeah wtf was that

Made no sense, took horrible shots before that.

[KobesAchilles]

It’s nice that we are paying Rudy Gay 16 million dollars to give us 3 points. Money well spent :reading

[gambit1990]

pop needs to go... even if the spurs get a high pick, all of a sudden pop is gonna start playing the right rotations? :lol

spurs could draft a much improved forbes-esque player and pop would still start forbes over him for at least half of next season.

[slick'81]

Spurs are trying to win. They have just failed spectacularly. It’s a combo of bad luck and terrible management. If they keep this team together...


Barring spurs trading mills,gay,lma and derozan opting out,then this team is coming back

[gambit1990]

spurs will be better when brent barry has more power / say. hopefully he doesn't leave the org before that happens.

[sasaint]

If Pop is in charge of the next draft, we are hosed. If he is around to make ANY personnel moves, we are hosed.

[gambit1990]

that "demar is better than manu" thread :lmao

i can't believe the amount of people here that actually believed in demar + spurs. not a superstar, not a star, just a glorified starter with jumping ability.

[Slippy]

San antonio is not tanking. If they were theyd be in the top 10 worst records by now

This doesn't make sense because they need bums on seats and revenue from games. If they made tanking obvious , no one would show up for games.

[MannyIsGod]

It’s maddening even if I want the losses. Anyone rooting for this team to limp into the playoffs is delusional.

I don't think Pop is the right coach for this youth. White and Lonnie's minutes show that all too clearly. Get a good draft pick and get the man to retire otherwise we're in for some more of the same frustration.

I have zero hope that Pop can give Lonnie and Derrick the right amount of playtime.

[itzsoweezee]

Pop will not make any major adjustments until he's absolutely desperate. He's been like that most of his career. That doesn't excuse his terrible decision-making, though, or his terrible plan for the season.

He’s not desperate yet??

Did demar play tonight? The box score says yes but I did not see him out there.

25 min for DJ 23 min for Derrick and 20 min for Lonnie!!! It’s literally ridiculous at this point smh. These kids need to be playing 30 min a night at least.

agree, Keldon needs at least 10 mpg

[tholdren]

that "demar is better than manu" thread :lmao

i can't believe the amount of people here that actually believed in demar + spurs. not a superstar, not a star, just a glorified starter with jumping ability.
Cry. About it. NBA is garbage.

No, like I said, his decision-making has been horrible. It won't do it until it's too late. The equivalent to starting Manu when they're down 2 games in a playoff series.

LA out again tonight along with Poeltl and now Marco
