Game Thread: Spurs @ Nets - Mar. 6, 2020 @ 6:30 PM CT

[timvp]

Aldridge (shoulder) out. Poeltl (knee) out. Belinelli (illness [wait, he's from Northern Italy -- did he return home during the All-Star break? Hmmm . . . . . .]) out. Pop (personal business) is back.

Kori's preview: https://www.spurstalk.com/preview-prediction-san-antonio-spurs-brooklyn-nets-march-6-2020/

It goes without saying the Spurs need to beat teams like the Nets, who have lost 5 of 6, if they are to advance to the playoffs.

Get this one :tu

[RC_Drunkford]

Aldridge, Poeltl, Belinelli and Metu are all out for tonight. Hope we can see more Keldon. Pop is back coaching so I doubt it

[Robz4000]

Pop coaching? Nets by 15.

[RC_Drunkford]

Pop coaching? Nets by 15.

exactly my thoughts

[DC23]

Is there any documented evidence of Aldridge actually being injured?

​Let win one!

[Mugen]

Been traveling for a while. Looking forward to betting against this garbage coach again. :tu

[Sugus]

Will be interesting to see how Pop manages Keldon's minutes (I'm assuming he's available for all three games of the road trip, right?) now that the cat is out of the bag and he's had a good game. I'm not expecting much, of course, but at the very least it's a reason to tune in. Can't say the same about most games this season.

[GAustex]

Watch for the elan the young players display.
My guess is since the old pooper battle axe is back the young ones will be muted in their just letting go and playing.
Poop can’t retire soon enough.

[EasyMoney]

Pop is back so expect bryn to play 30 minutes to offset marco

i had spurs beating the hornets. i think this is an L.

[MVPCues]

Easy win fellows.

[Slippy]

Is there any documented evidence of Aldridge actually being injured?

Good question. Never actually saw how he injured that shoulder. All these injuries happening, bryn still starting and stil trying to make those playoffs... damn haha

Good luck spurs

[RC_Drunkford]

Grizzlies just beat the Nets by 40. Spurs won't do anything close to that

[Joseph Kony]

Eubanks not starting,

Trey at center
DDR at Power forward

with the trio of White, DJ, and Bryn

LOL

To be fair, Eubanks is pretty terrible. he had some good minutes the first game Poeltl went out but he's looked god awful otherwise. dude looks clumsy as fuck, how many times has he fallen over someone or crashed into them already :lol

but at least Murray/White playing together :wow

[timvp]

Murray and White starting next to each other?

:danceclub

[r0drig0lac]

Murray and White starting next to each other?

...and Bryn....#sad

EQUALS

Levert dropping fidy on the Stuttering PRICK

You okay, bro?

[Leetonidas]

Lol. Predictable start. Forbes getting abused

[phxspurfan]

With this lineup were gonna get blown out by 50

[r0drig0lac]

Spurs micro ball makes no sense in 2020 (or in any era)

[phxspurfan]

fuckin Joe Harris just dribbling down the middle of the lane for an uncontested 10 footer. No interior presence whatsoever with this lineup

[Coach X]

No size no defense.

You can play without a C if you play tall, strong forwards. Can´t do it with Forbes and DeRozan as PF

[phxspurfan]

wow bail out call

[Leetonidas]

Spurs don't look like they even want to play :lol

[boutons_deux]

FG 27% vs 60%

[Joseph Kony]

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[NASpurs]

*checks score for first time*

6-20

crofl... okay then.

[Ron Swanson]

Let Timmy coach.

[Coach X]

Spurs don't look like they even want to play :lol
Yep, playing the "pick-up-game-at-park-offense" doesn't look good in an NBA game.

[NASpurs]

This is the Spurs trying to make a playoff push btw

[r0drig0lac]

Greg is clearly outdated as a coach, but he's even worse at building the roster, it's really scary he doesn't have a real small forward when legitimate teams have 4 or 5 on their roster.

[Robz4000]

:vomit:

[NASpurs]

Greg is clearly outdated as a coach, but he's even worse at building the roster, it's really scary he doesn't have a real small forward when legitimate teams have 4 or 5 on their

What position does Bryanne play? We don't have starting one of those neither.

[Coach X]

Certainly Spurs are undersized in every of the 5 matchups between starting line-ups.

This starting line-up experiment didn't work at all.

Now we'll see the zone defense...

[212094ever]

That's game

[Dhbsr555]

As I predicted pop finding a way to not play kj

[timvp]

https://i.imgur.com/c4jt321.png

[Spurs fever]

Pop doesn't seem to be able to motivate the team. They played with fire for Timmy.

[XDT76]

Keldon!

[Coach X]

A C, three athletic playes and one small shooter. A line-up that makes some sense finally!

[r0drig0lac]

if Pop thinks this micro ball idea is cute, be it with Murray White Keldon and Walker together.

[phxspurfan]

Eubanks kind of game tbh. Physical and tough is what we need

[RC_Drunkford]

You okay, bro?

you're ok SniffVP? :lmao

[Joseph Kony]

embarrassing. a team with virtually the same record looks 100x better than this shit team :lmao

[r0drig0lac]

Jesus...

[Robz4000]

Nets are gonna build a 50 point lead at this rate.

[phxspurfan]

embarrassing. a team with virtually the same record looks 100x better than this shit team :lmao

same record, in the East!

[212094ever]

Making washed DeAndre Jordan look like prime DeAndre Jordan

[phxspurfan]

Eubanks in => no easy drives to the rim and some contested shots.

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs clearly need to pick up a Center but Pop won't do it

[phxspurfan]

Is White even a basketball player at this point? When is the last time he did anything of value besides that layup?

[RC_Drunkford]

Murray and White starting next to each other?

:danceclub

:lmao :lmao you were so hyped :lmao :lmao

[XDT76]

Our Rebound had been in a mess for the pass few games.

[Joseph Kony]

forbes airball :lmao :lmao

[Chinook]

DJM passed up a wide-open three so Forbes could take a contested on. That's like the entire issue with the starting offense in one action.

[TimDunkem]

Lmao No resistance from Forbes. Jesus. You wonder why he isn't attacked everytime down the floor.

Sean is right when he says guys don't watch film. How do you not realize that you can score on Forbes every single time?

[emanueldavidginobili]

:lol

[r0drig0lac]

Forbes gets hit by any NBA player, it's unbelievable that this guy is a starter in one of the most respected franchises in the league for two seasons.

[RC_Drunkford]

Pop coaching? Nets by 15.

you were way too optimistic :lmao

[Coach X]

This is terrible. Team looking absolutely awful.

I mean, this is scarily bad.

[Dex]

I hate this particular Spurs team so much.

[RC_Drunkford]

This is terrible. Team looking absolutely awful.

I mean, this is scarily bad.

it's clear that the Spurs should've picked up another Center with that open roster spot as soon as Aldridge got injured. But of course Flopovich thinks he's smart and can get away by playing Eubanks and Lyles at Center. And on top of that he's leaving Metu at home, who's the only one that can block shots

[Dex]

This is terrible. Team looking absolutely awful.

I mean, this is scarily bad.

It would be one thing if this was against a good team.

But this is against the terrible Nets...without their best two players.

And we are still basically doubled up going into halftime

[Chomag]

Forbes is not a Joke starter on the Spurs , he is a joke NBA player period. It's so hard as a fan to watch the Spurs play while he is on the floor.

[ZeusWillJudge]

LOL I just came from dinner and turned the game on. WTF?


I haven't read Kori's preview yet, but I'm pretty sure it didn't look like this.

[Dex]

So what was Boston's excuse loosing to the m at home?

I’m not making excuses for Boston, and sure as hell am not making excuses for the Spurs.

We are down by 33 in the first half FFS

[Chomag]

Wish Pop would have sat this game out too...tbh

[talkspurs]

KJ shoots 3s better in the NBA then he does in the G league.

[212094ever]

Hard to root for most of these motherfuckers

[Coach X]

it's clear that the Spurs should've picked up another Center with that open roster spot as soon as Aldridge got injured. But of course Flopovich thinks he's smart and can get away by playing Eubanks and Lyles at Center. And on top of that he's leaving Metu at home, who's the only one that can block shots
The only decent minutes today were with Eubanks on court. In fact, Spurs won the last game starting Eubanks.

We are not the Houston Rockets running D'Antoni's system. Spurs system hasn't been designed to play small ball. Also it's a huge gamble to go with anything else than plan A when your team has one of the lowest BB IQ of the league and your roster is full of young kids and soft players.

[Chomag]

This looks like 2k video game when you lower the computer AI defence sta te all the way down lol

[RC_Drunkford]

Big Body is the best defender on the floor

[RC_Drunkford]

That's why I'm saying they should've picked up somebody for the Center spot, even if it's only for the time LA and Poeltl are out. But Pop probably thinks it will take to long for whoever that might be to learn his overrated schemes and garbage play calls.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Loving KJ, find this kid more minutes!

[RC_Drunkford]

Loving KJ, find this kid more minutes!

Everything he does in the G-League translates to the NBA. Every player that he was guarding passed the ball back out

[BackHome]

We tanking you all didn’t get the memo?

[RC_Drunkford]

Wonder if anybody is picking up on him calling out defensive potions? Kinda Like when he screamed SWITHC SWITCH to alert DJ he had a mismatch on a Big against Charlotte, Dude has IQ too

I saw that. As soon as he came in the game the team played harder. His mentality alone is a huge piece that this soft team needs.

[timtonymanu]

It’s really time to forget about the playoffs, guys. Even if they make it, it’s not like they’re gonna try anyway. Might as well sit DDR and LMA the rest of the season and play Luka and KJ

[Chomag]

People keep saying that Forbes is in there for spacing but I ask..how is that working?

[Coach X]

I expect some kind of change of attitude by DJ Murray. I like the kid but his performance in this first half has been disgraceful.

[paperboy77]

Just started watching. 20-6 Nets. Pop freaking subs for white and leaves forbes? WTF is that?

[RC_Drunkford]

Just started watching. 20-6 Nets. Pop freaking subs for white and leaves forbes? WTF is that?

it's what he has been doing all season. He doesn't know what to do

[paperboy77]

Bryn is the rock of this team.

:pop: Must leave him in if we're gonna have a shot.

[RC_Drunkford]

Keldon Johnson has the best +/- on the team with +7. The only other positive is Mills with +1

[RC_Drunkford]

Watch Flopovich start the same players for the 2nd half

[phxspurfan]

Stopped watching end of first quarter. Not surprising we’re getting our shit pushed in. DJM still looks shook on jumpers I bet

[dbestpro]

Going forward when one player is moved into the starting lineup for a team and that team is markedly worse, they will forever say, "You got Forbed!"

[Dex]

Who would have thought Lyles would become our most consistent 3 point shooter?

[Chomag]

Yep, this is the true definition of insanity.

[r0drig0lac]

lol Pop

[Dex]

Sean says “Demar coming out to play some good basketball to start this half”...after he hit one layup and complained the ref afterward

[RC_Drunkford]

See that's the problem with people overhyping Lyles. He's fine offensively. He's garbage defensively. He has 0 shot blocking ability. Spurs need a PF who can do the dirty work on defense and contest shots. Lyles ain't the one. He's a good bench piece, but not a starter

[JPB]

Remontada is on...

[TimDunkem]

See that's the problem with people overhyping Lyles. He's fine offensively. He's garbage defensively. He has 0 shot blocking ability. Spurs need a PF who can do the dirty work on defense and contest shots. Lyles ain't the one. He's a good bench piece, but not a starter

This. But Spurs fans convince themselves that these guys are integral pieces, but really are just decent role players that stand out next to garbage like Forbes, Belli, etc.

[Dex]

I hate DeRozan

[Chomag]

I'm sorry but Pop hasn't lost the ability to coach, he has always coaches like this , hes just finally been getting exposed these past few seasons.

[tholdren]

Lol spurstalk thought walker was decent

[TimDunkem]

Forbes can't guard a single player in this league.

[212094ever]

Send Forbes to Wuhan

[Chomag]

This. But Spurs fans convince themselves that these guys are integral pieces, but really are just decent role players that stand out next to garbage like Forbes, Belli, etc. Well said, with Forbes and Belli to stand next to almost all NBA players will look pretty damn good.

[Dancelot]

Can’t wait for DeRozen to be off this team next season.

[RC_Drunkford]

Imagine if this team had an athletic big who could stop these alley oops and block shots. But Pop thought it's better to leave him with the G-League team

[RC_Drunkford]

Pop would start Bryn even if he had the Corona virus

[Chomag]

Lol @ Pop Icing his own player

[BackHome]

In all honesty how many players do we have on this team that would be a starting on a playoff team?

[RC_Drunkford]

Forbes can't guard a single player in this league.

Forbes can't guard half of spurstalk

[RC_Drunkford]

In all honesty how many players do we have on this team that would be a starting on a playoff team?

I was about to start watching it from the beginning, looked at the box score and decided not. :lol

How has undisputed NBA starter Brent Forms' defense been today?

[RC_Drunkford]

I was about to start watching it from the beginning, looked at the box score and decided not. :lol

just look at his +/- he's -25

[Chomag]

I was about to start watching it from the beginning, looked at the box score and decided not. :lol

How has undisputed NBA starter Brent Forms' defense been today? non-existent. I know shocking right!

[Coach X]

See that's the problem with people overhyping Lyles. He's fine offensively. He's garbage defensively. He has 0 shot blocking ability. Spurs need a PF who can do the dirty work on defense and contest shots. Lyles ain't the one. He's a good bench piece, but not a starter
Lyles is a 4, not a rim protector. Obviously he will fail when asked to play the C in defense. He's a complete player, smart, versatile, very good for his salary. He can be a serviceable starter surrounded by a regular NBA starting unit (one true all-star caliber player, a good PG, a rim protector...) Lyles is asked to do too much because the rest of the starters doesn't do their jobs well.

If you want to point at players for this season disaster, start looking at the salary table: DeRozan, Aldridge, Gay... but also to our PGs, White and Murray whom most of us expected to play good defense and decent offense. Coaching has a lot of responsibility too of course.

[TimDunkem]

How has undisputed NBA starter Brent Forms' defense been today?

The Nets are one of the few teams in the league that have realized that they can score on him every single time down the floor.

They have 110 with nearly 3 left in the third.

[paperboy77]

Ok caught up. Luka time? WTF... need a calculator to know the deficit.

[Dex]

Achilles?

[JPB]

I'm sorry but Pop hasn't lost the ability to coach, he has always coaches like this , hes just finally been getting exposed these past few seasons.

Stop saying stupid things and letting off BB topics taint your jugment.

Players get done, coaches too. And those guys on the court sure don't help cos he lost them. He's just done and should have retired with tIm but people will quickly forget these last couiple years like they forget Hakeem useless end of career in Toronto, Ewing in Milwukee, Malone or Nash in LA or even Jordan in Washington to remember his great HOFer career..

But I guess you know better than HOF comitee that will pick him first round.

Yes, he's having a bad season and just lost the team with players who don't respond and leave it all on the court. But he's Pop so he can't be fired, which gives this pathetic effort we see from these millionaires play to play BB.

[BackHome]

Looks like Walker tweaked his knee

[emanueldavidginobili]

Achilles?
That’s what I thought unfortunately

[wildbill2u]

Looked to me more like he was feeling his shin. Nice Dr. J move that ended in disaster.

[RC_Drunkford]

He is not a starter and not a Center. He's the worst starting PF in the entire NBA. There are plenty of PF's who can help protect the rim when the Center gets dragged out the paint. The Spurs always had a PF who was able to protect the rim starting, even last season. They even had wings who can do that. Now they don't have either, so the need of a PF who can swat away shots is even more needed.

Also Aldridge and DeRozan are not the reason this team sucks. It's the garbage they are surrounded by

[TimDunkem]

Trey Lyles a complete player? :lmao These homers, man.

[FkLA]

The achilles is lower. Don't think it was that. Still doesn't look good.

Why can't it fucking be Forms.

[paperboy77]

See that's the problem with people overhyping Lyles. He's fine offensively. He's garbage defensively. He has 0 shot blocking ability. Spurs need a PF who can do the dirty work on defense and contest shots. Lyles ain't the one. He's a good bench piece, but not a starter

Yes but the guy in only playing cuz Pop has him there and we suck. This is a shitty.... slow.... painful... death of my Spurs. Horrible.. just horrible.

[ZeusWillJudge]

I'm not sure the Spurs could win this if the Nets only put four players on the floor.

[JPB]

Message is clear: Tim on the bench: good effort. Pop back, no effort.

[FkLA]

Trey Lyles a complete player? :lmao These homers, man.

Kind of a fair statement, imo. Jack of all trades guy. Not great at any one thing though.

[TimDunkem]

Kind of a fair statement, imo. Jack of all trades guy. Not great at any one thing though.

Disagree. A master of none isn't exactly complete.

[RC_Drunkford]

Our G-League team is better than our NBA team

[212094ever]

Austin Spurs + White on the court

[phxspurfan]

Wow KJ is fearless

[ZeusWillJudge]

Is white gonna shoot all the SHOTS?


Good for him. Nobody else wants it. White's not afraid.

[TimDunkem]

Samanic reminds me of a young Illyasova.

That's what we passed on legit players for?

[Coach X]

120pts in three quarters.

Without Aldridge and Poetl, this is what the 19/20 Spurs defense is. With both playing, the defense is still bad but without them... And this is what makes the team lose oftenly.

Samanic playing. Young players need a positive environment to progress. This team isn't good for them: No competitive edge, no winning experience, no IQ, no toughness... We have already seen what happens with Murray, White, Walker...

[ZeusWillJudge]

Our G-League team is better than our NBA team

They haven't been beaten down by Craterface all season.

[TimDunkem]

Ewwbanks can't guard a washed up DeAndre Jordan.

[RC_Drunkford]

Derrick White heroballing in garbage time

[paperboy77]

Amazing how terrible Pop and ownership are at this point. DD and LMA are who they are. Second or third tier stars.. can't blame them either. #2 really fucked us and one can only hope we can turn this shit around soon.

It's officially over guys. Luka gets his first minutes.. so does QW. (WtheF is the African g-leaguer?) I'm a die hard playoffs person and it's gonna suck watching the PO's this year. :violin Go Spurs Go.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Derrick White heroballing in garbage time


YEP,


At least he's playing with some energy. I admire a guy who will keep busting his ass even when the game is out of reach. Beats laying down.

[RC_Drunkford]

At least he's playing with some energy. I admire a guy who pads his stats when the game is out of reach. Beats laying down.

FIFY

[paperboy77]

I'm not sure the Spurs could win this if the Nets only put four players on the floor.

Mostly like your takes dude.. very funny.

[ZeusWillJudge]

KOBE


Whatever. You'd be bitching if he wasn't out there competing. And you're bitching when he is. You know what that makes you?

[RC_Drunkford]

the main problem is that this would've been easily fixable if Flopovich wasn't so stupid

[FkLA]

Man the defense from these three guys out in the perimeter is night and day from the bullshit we are accustomed to.

[ZeusWillJudge]

FIFY


:lol Well the other guys sure as shit aren't padding any stats out there, I'll give you that much.

[212094ever]

Murray back to kill the offense once again. He's just not a point guard.

[RC_Drunkford]

:lol Well the other guys sure as shit aren't padding any stats out there, I'll give you that much.

you know it would've been much better if White played like that from the get-go, but he didn't. Instead he started hero balling in garbage time.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Nice shot off the bottom of the rim by Sammich. At least he knows how to not pad stats.

[TimDunkem]

Nice shot off the bottom of the rim by Sammich. At least he knows how to not pad stats.

Also already leading the league in hair flips. He's fixed his hair at least 6 times already.

[Coach X]

Playing an standard unit, team can even run offensive plays, execute some offense! Remember that, when the Spurs called and actually executed their sets? Good times...

[ZeusWillJudge]

you know it would've been much better if White played like that from the get-go, but he didn't. Instead he started hero balling in garbage time.


you know he would have been on the bench if he did. Besides, I don't know why you've got such a case of the redass. You've been pulling for L's for a month or more. This is perfect. :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

you know he would have been on the bench if he did. Besides, I don't know why you've got such a case of the redass. You've been pulling for L's for a month or more. This is perfect. :lol

I'm never pulling for L's. I just find it funny that Flopovich gets exposed and it's pretty clear that this team won't ever catch the Grizzlies this season

[gambit1990]

i had spurs beating the hornets. i think this is an L.
i wish i was still in vegas.

[FkLA]

I love Big Body KJ's motor, tbh.

[ZeusWillJudge]

I think the thing I like most about Sammich is his hands. Awesome.

[phxspurfan]

Murray playing against scrubs and still can’t hit a damn shot

[TimDunkem]

Murray playing against scrubs and still can’t hit a damn shot

He's just not that good, tbh. His defense it overrated as well.

[ZeusWillJudge]

The Nets dribble out that possession, and then Murray throws up a cinderblock on the other end. Fucktard.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Keldon needs to play every single game from here on out

[ace3g]

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1236122231656378373

[RC_Drunkford]

Murray being up and down is normal. He was garbage tonight, but he also had a bunch of great games. He just needs to find that consistency and tighten up a few things. He's fine

[RC_Drunkford]

He's just not that good, tbh. His defense it overrated as well.

yup, same with White

[phxspurfan]

https://twitter.com/ShamsCharania/status/1236122231656378373

Free unlimited margaritas if you attend

[RC_Drunkford]

Keldon is Better

I'm not gonna argue with that. Need to see more minutes to evaluate that, but it's quite clear Keldon is better than Forbes and Beli. He looks like the best defender on the entire squad to me

[timtonymanu]

I don’t know how much more obvious it has to be that this team needs to tank from here on out. Doesn’t matter if the 8th seed is still “attainable.” This team is so broken right now and doesn’t look like they will have any life left for a playoff series, let alone a game

[palangi]

Keldon is Better

What does this matter? You are so fucking stupid. Murrsy has nothing to do with Keldon playing time

[palangi]

Tbf it is a shit school. I never realized it when I went but when I was looking to buy a house the ratings of schools came up and its rated a 1/10 by like every site that does those ratings. :lol

There's some decent neighborhoods though. You just have to be familiar with the area and know which areas to stay away from.

Pop was right and should play those guys from here on out. DDR is opting in so you can't do too big of a remake.

So the winning team, blows out a team with a HOF coach and the winning team fired the coach???? Meanwhile, mgmt signs 1 injury prone headcase and a player out for the year with ACL and nobody questions that move.

[SpurPadre]

Meanwhile, Aron Baynes dropped 37 points last night on the Blazers. The one that got away, tbh...

[SuperCam]

He's just not that good, tbh. His defense it overrated as well.

i been saying that for two seasons. spur fan act like he and white all star in the making when they are just okay, role players on just about any other team in the league. we wouldn't even know their names if they didn't play in san antonio :lol

We'll be much better next year. I was upset a few months ago, but only because I'm not used to an off year. Since I've been a fan we've been competing (2004ish) but every team goes through this. And I actually think our future & potential looks a LOT better than most teams' the FIRST "tank" year.

It is what it is. Once LA and Demar are gone, I think it will look a lot better. We have two career losers as our "stars" and because everyone thinks of them as good players our expectations were higher. But this was a dud year from the get go.

Last year was an anomaly because the west wasn't that tough at all. You had young talent budding last year but ESPECIALLY this year. Really Denver was the only "young talent" team that were "contenders" (even though they weren't) because Trail Blazers are a joke. We had just traded one of the top superstars of the West to the East (Kawhi) and replaced him with an empty stats scrub (Demar) and Lebron was actually playing injured a lot of the year (something people aren't really mentioning when talking about Toronto's chip) and of course the superteam dubs

Pop coaching? Nets by 15.

Hammon's been the Spurs summer league coach multiple times before, and even coached the team to a championship in 2015. She's been elevated to the top assistant coaching job in San Antonio, and has studied under the greatest coach in the league. She has the tools to be a great coach, and if anything should definitely be on the shortlist of candidates that the Nets consider.

Can't disagree with a lot of that, except that Becky isn't the lead assistant. When Pop got ejected, he said Tim was in charge. When Pop was out a game, he put Tim in charge. Tim played it very nicely, saying it was coaching by committee, but he's the next up on that bench. I'm also not so sure that Pop was the greatest coach in the league by the time Becky started, but that's splitting hairs.

Becky is actually in a precarious position, IMO. If things continue to go to shit in SA, and anyone other than her takes over for Pop, she's going to have a much harder time getting her shot to be the first woman head coach. Not saying she shouldn't. But it's a lot easier getting that first HC job when coming from a very successful team.
