Game Thread: Spurs @ Cavaliers - Mar. 8, 2020 @ 6:30 PM CT

[timvp]

The Spurs are again without Aldridge (shoulder), Belinelli (illness) and Poeltl (knee). Joining those three on the sidelines will be Lonnie Walker IV (shin).

Kori's preview (predicting a loss, tbh): https://www.spurstalk.com/preview-prediction-san-antonio-spurs-cleveland-cavaliers-march-8-2020/

If the Spurs lose, I think we can all agree that the playoff chase is over. I mean, it's probably over already ... but it'd be over over.

[r0drig0lac]

micro ball again? Against Drummond and Love? Hum

[TimDunkem]

It's already over over, Sniff.

[ducks]

Duncan should kick pop in his
Balls if he goes to old short people today

[Chomag]

Murray/White/DDR/Gay/Lyles should be the starting line up for tonight but yeah Pop ain't benching Forbes so...

[ducks]

I sure as hell want a team to give Forbes 20 million a year

[cd021]

Murray, Forbes, DDR, Lyles, Eubanks
Mills, White, Walker, Keldon, Gay

Man, that's a small lineup

[r0drig0lac]

Forbes, two seasons receiving the Manu / Parker status, is unbelievable.

Asked Pop whether he thought Lonnie Walker's absence with a shin contusion would be a short-term thing.

Pop: “I would assume so. He can’t run. It’s still very painful for him to walk. So it will probably take a little while.”

[Larry O]

Hmmm... makes me wonder if the players along with the coaching staff also know that it's over over, especially after that demoralizing beat down by the Nets. The Grizzlies are playing too good right now. This should be a winnable game tonight, but I just have this feeling that players such as DDR10 may have checked out for the season. LMA... sheesh, who knows what's really up with him, let alone, what's on his mind. But yeah, I agree, if they loose to the Cavaliers, then it's over over. I'm not even looking forward to watching the home game against the Mavs on Tuesday, which may be another embarassing loss on national television. SMH... Time to loose the youngins from here on out and position for a lottery pick. Even if they would have obtained the 8th playoff spot, the Fakers would beat them into submission. It wouldn't be a contest cause LBJ would love the chance to get back on the Spurs.

[timtonymanu]

If they can lose to the Hawks twice, they can do it with Cleveland. Let’s go cavs!

[ducks]

Spurs are only 3 back in losses
Maybe spurs know Lma is not coming back this year

[spurs1990]

The quality level of this game could reach even 1997 lows

[TimDunkem]

Ewwbanks already getting torched by Drummond as well as throwing elbows. God he fucking sucks. ST always falls in love with these stiffs.

[EasyMoney]

It's like dejounte is trying to guard 2 guys at once because of bryn

Where's Chimezi

[ducks]

Why no fire

[sasaint]

Murray/White/DDR/Gay/Lyles should be the starting line up for tonight but yeah Pop ain't benching Forbes so...

Tuned in late. Who were the actual starters?

[Gorepopovich]

Kids, pls.

[spurs1990]

Tuned in late. Who were the actual starters?

The two G Leagues guys plus Murray, Derozan and Lyles. And of course Murray was benched a few minutes in

[sasaint]

Stoopid foul on Drummond!

[ducks]

White is a idiot

[sasaint]

The two G Leagues guys plus Murray, Derozan and Lyles. And of course Murray was benched a few minutes in

No Bryn?!?!

[Leetonidas]

Every team looks like the 96 Bulls against SA :lmao

[212094ever]

Another game, another double-digit deficit

[sasaint]

What's the prognosis for LMA - anyone know? Any chance we shut him down for the year?

[spurs1990]

Never been a Derozan fan but now I feel sorry for him surrounded by an immeasurably awful supporting cast

[ducks]

What the hell up 16 coaches challenge in first quarter

[EasyMoney]

Derrick keeps committing the same stupid blunders every game where he tries to swipe the big knowing damn well it isnt going to work

[tholdren]

its Pops Sisyphus philosophy and style of COACHING

Natch

Lol, it isn't. It's the terrible help defense. The spurs team defense is awful. You bums complain about forbes on ball defense but derek white is out of position almost every possession

[Chomag]

This is Keldon's time to shine!

[talkspurs]

I sure as hell want a team to give Forbes 20 million a year

This Summer you will get your wish. Unfortunately that team will be the Spurs. You should have said a team other then the Spurs give him 20 mil a yr.

[sasaint]

As much as I dislike Dumbmar, the refs like him even less. Terrible O-foul call.

[tholdren]

Lol derek white defense

[212094ever]

Absolutely pathetic

[El Santo]

This team keeps surprising me in how everyone of our players suck

[dbestpro]

Kind of expected it. Pop goes political, players check out, everyone is booking their reservations for the beach.

[timtonymanu]

This is great. :lol

[Coach X]

The team has quit. Willingly or inadvertently. They’re done. Something’s broken there.

[spurs1990]

This is the first game Spurs will go with a 9-man rotation. Popovich continues his stubborness in playing young guys, even with being blown out by a horrible Cavs team.

[Chomag]

keldon is going to be special if he can put it alltogether

[objective]

Has Metu still not been called up yet?

As terrible as I think the coaching and management has been, and it's been Knicks-style dysfunction worst in the league level, I am STUNNED they STILL can't figure out to activate a center on their roster when their only two NBA level bigs are out and they were going to play some bigger teams. Even as an emergency for foul trouble, jesus.

Just bizarre

[Chomag]

Wait....Lonnie is dressed, I thought he was out?

[tim_duncan_fan]

Is Keldon already our smartest player?

[dbestpro]

Rudy is ready for the senior league.

[Chomag]

Forbes....Jesus! Why the duck is he in?

[TimDunkem]

Thompson killing Ewwbanks now. Jfc :lol

[dbestpro]

There is good chance that Forbes would not get picked in a YMCA game.

[sasaint]

The team has quit. Willingly or inadvertently. They’re done. Something’s broken there.

They've been quitting by degrees since the first week of the season. I never thought I'd see it with the Spurs. And I hate it because it could really taint the young guys. However, it must seem obvious to ownership that a re-set is necessary from the top.

[Chomag]

Forbes Doing his stupid strut even though we are still down 14 points

[Ditty]

I swear if Forbes is on this team next year I won’t even bother watching or go to any more games...unless they are free.

[TimDunkem]

Forbes Doing his stupid strut even though we are still down 14 points

He is such a fraud. I've never hated a player, not even the most bitter rivals, but I hate Bryn Forbes. Contributes nothing to wins, but never fails to contribute to losses.

[sasaint]

keldon is going to be special if he can put it alltogether


I hope so. But lots of posters said the same thing about Murray, and now... meh. And I (and others) said the same thing about Derrick, and now... meh. I think the team is completely checked out; when morale goes south, it makes talent harder to identify.

[El Santo]

I swear if Forbes is on this team next year I won’t even bother watching or go to any more games...unless they are free.

Forbes will be on this team next year he is part of our midget towers

[tim_duncan_fan]

Bring in Quindarry!

[sasaint]

I swear if Forbes is on this team next year I won’t even bother watching or go to any more games...unless they are free.


Free or not, you still have to pay for the gas, exert the effort to drive to the stadium, fight the crowds. invest the time when you could better invest it in a Rosetta Stone language course.

[TimDunkem]

I hope so. But lots of posters said the same thing about Murray, and now... meh. And I (and others) said the same thing about Derrick, and now... meh. I think the team is completely checked out; when morale goes south, it makes talent harder to identify.

Yep. Now KJ looks solid and can be true 3 and D player at the 2, but do we have to use "special" for every damn player that scores a bucket in a Spurs jersey?

[vander]

Darn, and here I was expecting the team to play fired up Defense after pops comments on Trump and coronavirus.

[sasaint]

Darn, and here I was expecting the team to play fired up Defense after pops comments on Trump and coronavirus.

I expected them to play in surgical masks.

[Chomag]

Keldon needs the getting over himself treatment I guess...

[212094ever]

Making dumbass Drummond look good

[sasaint]

Making dumbass Drummond look good

He is better than everybody in a Spurs uniform and possibly smarter.

[TimDunkem]

This is a team of 3rd tier stars, average role players, and fringe NBA level talent.

[Darius Bieber]

Wait....Lonnie is dressed, I thought he was out?

I think it’s because we’re legally required to dress 12 players or otherwise forfeit. And I guess we couldn’t sign or call up anyone else in time.

[Collins21]

Yep. Now KJ looks solid and can be true 3 and D player at the 2, but do we have to use "special" for every damn player that scores a bucket in a Spurs jersey?

Mainly Walker and Murray.

[r0drig0lac]

someone tell Greg what size matters, good Lord, I hate Bryn Forbes

[Coach X]

They've been quitting by degrees since the first week of the season. I never thought I'd see it with the Spurs. And I hate it because it could really taint the young guys. However, it must seem obvious to ownership that a re-set is necessary from the top.
I think most of them have been trying their best but they are just bad at playing basketball. Now it looks like these same players have thrown the towell. The loses and the standings finally revealed the ugly truth to them.

Same with coaches. They tried but now it looks like Popovich doesn’t know what to do. He has lost the confidence and interest in this team.

[sasaint]

Mainly Walker and Murray.

We forgetting Lonnie.

[tholdren]

someone tell Greg what size matters, good Lord, I hate Bryn Forbes

You dumb

[tholdren]

Murrays rebounding stats are as empty as Aldridge. Cant rebound defensively in traffic. Mostly because hes dumb and out of position.

[212094ever]

Rudy should just retire at halftime

[Chomag]

Nice little run so far

[Chomag]

Great D White! And of course Forbes screwed it up...

[sasaint]

Ehhh. "First week of the season" was overstatement for effect. But they've been checking out by degrees for awhile now. But, I agree, they are completely checked out now.

[spurs1990]

Safe to say unless Walker, Samanic or Johnson are on the court, this team is utterly unwatchable the rest of the season? Boring and unfocused

[sasaint]

Great D White! And of course Forbes screwed it up...


Yep. Great D. But I thought Patty clanked the 3.

[sasaint]

Safe to say unless Walker, Samanic or Johnson are on the court, this team is utterly unwatchable the rest of the season? Boring and unfocused

It's almost unwatchable with Rudy on the court.

[XDT76]

Seems that White had been good at drawing fouls recently.

[sasaint]

Sean talking about how the Cavs know that their season is over, while shilling for the Spurs. :lmao

[Joseph Kony]

Murrays rebounding stats are as empty as Aldridge. Cant rebound defensively in traffic. Mostly because hes dumb and out of position.

you're literally the stupidest poster on ST which is really saying something :lmao you have 0 understanding of basketball

[Chomag]

Forbes just left Patty hanging lol

[TimDunkem]

Sean talking about how the Cavs know that their season is over, while shilling for the Spurs. :lmao

The broadcast is nearly unwatchable with these shills. The excuses they've been making this season for these guys is some of the worst, most blatant examples of homerism I've ever seen.

[sasaint]

Maybe the re-set should include a whole new broadcast crew.

[Chomag]

If you look at pictures of Byrn from early last year backward he doesn't have any of is ISMS

especially that signature fake hard mean mugging face.


Only has it because daddy poop has his back

Spurs - 35% FG and getting out-rebounded by 10. 1/10 from 3. :lol

[Collins21]

While I agree that it can be every NBA broadcast team are shills and homers besides the Kings and the Knicks that I've seen.

Dont blame bryn

[tholdren]

Lol murray. NO SKILL

[sasaint]

Timmy must be Dijon's REAL shooting coach. I like the glass!

[Chomag]

Murray putting in the work!

[tholdren]

Timmy must be Dijon's REAL shooting coach. I like the glass!
Those last two drives were great. I dont understand how he can do that and then that fundamental just disappears for 10 games

[sasaint]

You knew Dumbmar had had too much of Murray and was gonna force that one.

[Prime BEEF]

This team is hard to watch. Just gross.

[tholdren]

Forbes with that Matador Defense Drew Saved his ass
That was murray idiot

[Thomas82]

How did Cleveland blow their 17-point lead?

[tholdren]

https://i.imgur.com/CDxisQs.jpg


yes you're a FOOL and a Piece of SHit
Keep the tape going dimwit

[sasaint]

Those last two drives were great. I dont understand how he can do that and then that fundamental just disappears for 10 games

Still young. I gotta HOPE he gets more consistent. His offensive game is so much improved over last season. I just don't ever see him as a PG.

[tholdren]

Keep the tape going dimwit

That's what I thought

[tholdren]

That's what I thought

Exactly what I mean when I say none of you understand team defense. Bryn got burnt. Murray did too because he was out of position and pretended to hedge? I have no idea what Murray was doing, but he was worse than forbes on that play you dolt.

[tholdren]

OK dummby

https://twitter.com/twoshotspodcast/status/1236823042313146368

Rooting for you, Keldon. Let's go!

Bwahahahahhahah talk to me about murrays defense.... lololklklolol

[sasaint]

NOOOO, Dumbmar to end the quarter, Keldon bails him out, and Dumbmar gives it right back.

[Robz4000]

DeRozan is such a cancer.

[TDomination]

Im just happy seeing keldon Johnson play

[tholdren]

KELDON SCHOOLING DEROZEN ON BEING A PRO AND KEEPING YOUR COOL

20 year teaches the 30 year old


LEADER SHIT

and Demar is a Piece of Shit TOO

Lolololol stop posting you proved yourself dumb by your video. Lol you are really not smart. You have no concept of defense. Hahahhahahhaahh

[spurs1990]

To all ya'll who want Derozan re-signed ya'll cool with these dumb t's he keeps picking up

[sasaint]

Im just happy seeing keldon Johnson play

Yep. Good showing. :tu

[tholdren]

Yep, he is a REAL piece of SHIT too
Quick post more videos.... lololololololl

[sasaint]

To all ya'll who want Derozan re-signed ya'll cool with these dumb t's he keeps picking up

Actually, he has kind of cooled it with the Ts. More than his losing his cool, I hate his forced iso's. Dude has gotta go.

[emanueldavidginobili]

God damn I LOVE KJ motor

[212094ever]

Ewwwwwbanks

[sasaint]

Drummond operating out on the floor against the Spurs like he's Kyrie. :lol

[Chomag]

We might actually win this :lol

[sasaint]

Dijon needs to be the 6th man so he can bring juice when the starting 5 are flat. He can re-energize better than anybody we have, but it is not the same when he is a starter.

[Robz4000]

The Spurs have to be watching KJ play and rethinking Pop's whole keeping rookies in Austin the entire season thing. Not that be would've been doing this all season, but if he was brought up to the team back in December when he really got going the season may have been different at this point.

[Coach X]

JB Bickerstaff is the coach you want to have in the rival´s bench. It's amazing he's still in the league after his performances as head coach.

He came with a good game plan. Destroyed the Spurs attacking inside every posession and put his team almost 20pts up but somehow he managed to give back to live this dead Spurs team.
Been watching NBA for 20 years, this is one of the worst games I've suffered. Funny as a junkie fight

[Robz4000]

:lmao Pop yelling at everyone but Forbes after his defensive mistake

[Chomag]

Forbes....

[poopbox]

Forbes getting his shot blocked like a child :cry

[Robz4000]

Spurs would have 10 more wins if Forbes didn't exist tbh.

[212094ever]

Forms back on the court and the lead is gone

[sasaint]

The Spurs have to be watching KJ play and rethinking Pop's whole keeping rookies in Austin the entire season thing. Not that be would've been doing this all season, but if he was brought up to the team back in December when he really got going the season may have been different at this point.

:tu

[Chomag]

Please Pop, take all the trash out

[Chomag]

Forbes just got destroyed by one of the slowest PG in the league lol

[Chomag]

Not even going to try closing out there are ya Forbes

[Robz4000]

Jettison DeRozan, Forbes, and Pop this offseason and the Spurs will be a playoff team next year.

[timtonymanu]

The senile, old man. :lol

Really needs to retire. The coronavirus cancelling the Olympics might save him another embarrassment in the summer.

[Chomag]

At least 8 of those 10 unanswered points have been all on Forbes

[sasaint]

IT'S DUMBMARRRRRR TIIIIIIIME!!!

[Joseph Kony]

:lmao

[Chomag]

Freaking Dumbnar!!!

[Robz4000]

:lmao this low-IQ play

[212094ever]

DeProzac the non-closer

[sasaint]

Dumbmar with 3 ISO clanks in a row. And counting...

[JPB]

lol gay

[hoopdreams11]

OK tie game bring in the defensive players Derick and KJ

[Joseph Kony]

:lmao anyone thinking forbes isnt a g-league player at this point

[sasaint]

Dumbmar with 3 ISO clanks in a row. And counting...

Welp, Rudy ended that streak, Dumbmar. How you gonna counter?

[Chomag]

I think we have some of the lowest BBIQ players in the whole league, anyone agree?

[sasaint]

OK tie game bring in the defensive players Derick and KJ

No way Keldon closes at this stage of his career.

[JPB]

lolol Gay

[Chomag]

Welp...he wanted that more

[Robz4000]

Here comes another DeRozan special to seal the deal.

[JPB]

Gimmeh some missed FTs now.

[tholdren]

It's odd that spurs keep getting burnt on d even when forbes is out... super strange.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Can’t wait to see this play Pop draws up :lol

[sasaint]

Welp...he wanted that more

More than anybody wanted to keep him off the glass.

[tholdren]

OK tie game bring in the defensive players Derick and KJ

That is dumb

[JPB]

Air Forbes

[tholdren]

Forbes. Da man

[sasaint]

If Drummond takes the floor, hack him.

[Ditty]

I hate Bryn Forbes so much

[tholdren]

Last play just shows how stupid all nba players are. No defense anywhere

[tholdren]

Murray burnt like poop

[JPB]

Spurs season in Forbes hands...

[JPB]

At least try to inbound the ball.

[phxspurfan]

Spurs lose again

[tholdren]

Spurs season in Forbes hands...

Well it was in murrays hands and he just gave up. Backed down the whole way. SOFT. but he got a lot of ig homies

[sasaint]

At least try to inbound the ball.

:lol for once!

[JPB]

lololol Gay

[Robz4000]

Not that Gay

[sasaint]

Good shot, but I would have liked Rudy to hit White in the corner for a 3 attempt.

[phxspurfan]

Not this Gay!

[bdictjames]

This roster sucks. We need LMA. Actual talent.

[tholdren]

Murray almost lost this game single handedly with his trash defense

[timtonymanu]

Oh FFS should have just lost this game already

[SpurPadre]

Why are these dumbasses trying to win?

[tholdren]

Ig murray better @ Bryn Forbes and rudy gays tonight

[sasaint]

Oh no. Dumbmar Time again.

[Coach X]

Junkie fight turned interesting at the end. We watching this deserved an overtime :lmao

[SpurPadre]

This roster sucks. We need LMA. Actual talent.

LMA doing his part to get us the best draft pick possible. He gets tanking unlike the rest of these dumbasses on the team.

[tholdren]

Ddr the man

[Chomag]

DDR and Forbes doing everything they can to lose this

[tholdren]

Terrible murray defense

[sasaint]

Terrible Trey D.

[tholdren]

Great forbes d terrible gay rebounding

[phxspurfan]

Drummon to skronk 4 u

[Chomag]

Fucking Forbes!!!! I can't stand watching him

[phxspurfan]

Because while wasn't defending kevin love?

[212094ever]

[sasaint]

True. Drummond doing his job before the shot went up. And Rudy not boxing out.

[tholdren]

Lol no iq murray

[spurraider21]

[Mal]

Dont you dare to max out DeRozan

[sasaint]

Rudy... :lol

[JPB]

lolololol Gay.

[tholdren]

Delladova smoked white

[sasaint]

Dont you dare to max out DeRozan

One of the Cavs better contributors tonight.

[tbdog]

It's just Forbes is a nightmare on D over and over. I suppose there choice was either Johnson or Mills though.

[Darius Bieber]

5 games back of Memphis!

[212094ever]

Now it's over over

[tholdren]

It's just Forbes is a nightmare on D over and over. I suppose there choice was either Johnson or Mills though.

Forbes is not that much worse than murray or white. Hes equal to gay

[tholdren]

Delladova is better than murray white forbes mills. That is sad.

[Mal]

One of the Cavs better contributors tonight.

That try harding in 4th quater made me sick.

[sasaint]

Delladova is better than murray white forbes mills. That is sad.

Smarter, anyway.

[sasaint]

That try harding in 4th quater made me sick.


Killed us.

[Darius Bieber]

10 games under .500

[Coach X]

This game is a torture

[timtonymanu]

Spurs 0-4 against the two worst teams in the East and some are delusional to think they deserve to be the 8th seed and will give their best shot against the Lakers :lol

[Thomas82]

FINALLY......it's over!!

[Genovaswitness]

great coaching again by poop. what a fucking joke

[KimmyGib]

Dumbest timeout ever

[212094ever]

So Pop wasted his final timeout

[Darius Bieber]

This is the absolute worst season ever. Can’t even tank right. Gonna miss the playoffs AND get a shitty lottery pick in the worst draft in recent memory. This is the worst front office in the NBA.

[Thomas82]

This game is a torture

For real!!

[DC23]

The timing out that final timeout was completely illogical.

[timtonymanu]

This is the absolute worst season ever. Can’t even tank right. Gonna miss the playoffs AND get a shitty lottery pick in the worst draft in recent memory. This is the worst front office in the NBA.

I would love the 13th seed in the West though but Blazers are shit also and don’t know if the Spurs can drop lower than Phoenix.

[KimmyGib]

Imagine being a Cavs fan right there, with all the pressure on the 2nd free throw to secure the game. Suddenly the other team just blows their last remaining timeout for no reason and kills their only chance to tie the game. Must've been a relief for those fans. What the hell was Pop thinking?

[Darius Bieber]

I would love the 13th seed in the West though but Blazers are shit also and don’t know if the Spurs can drop lower than Phoenix.

Problem is, we still have 7 teams in the East with worse records than the Spurs currently.

[itzsoweezee]

Why did popovich user that timeout there? An I missing something or was that completely stupid? Could they have advanced the ball of they had a timeout left

[ZeusWillJudge]

I would love the 13th seed in the West though but Blazers are shit also and don’t know if the Spurs can drop lower than Phoenix.


Phoenix is definitely within reach. Spurs are only one game behind them now. The Spurs could overtake Washington in the East, too, if Bertans would get off his ass and spark a few W's.

[ZeusWillJudge]

I was really disgusted by White padding his stats there at the end of O/T. If he doesn't get over that, Pop needs to send him to Austin. WTF was he thinking?

[FkLA]

Pop needs to fucking retire and take Brent Forms with him.

[KobesAchilles]

Didn’t watch the game but any reason why Pop played White only 25 minutes in a game that went to OT? Did he get hurt or something?

[spurs1990]

Just got to get to 8th or 9th worst record for a real shot, based on last year's 8th and 9th teams moving up to top 2 in the draft

[FkLA]

Becky was like "wtf is he doing" when Pop wasted that last timeout. :lol

[FkLA]

Didn’t watch the game but any reason why Pop played White only 25 minutes in a game that went to OT? Did he get hurt or something?

:pop: He played more minutes than his season average.

[objective]

One other infuriating thing from this game:

Am I imagining things or did Dejounte Murray start the 2nd half great ... 9 points and 2 assists to tie the game up ...

And yet he still gets subbed out for White at 6:17? He only had 3 fouls.

Murray finally gets hot for once and everything is clicking and yet he has to come out because it's the damn 6 minute mark?

Pop is so over.

[SpurPadre]

Just got to get to 8th or 9th worst record for a real shot, based on last year's 8th and 9th teams moving up to top 2 in the draft

We should be 24-38 if it weren't for those stupid 1 point wins recently.

[spurs1990]

This sucks man... starting at a 31-51 record.
Looking over the last 20 games, I only see 5 sure-fire wins:

14 Mar Minnesota
20 Mar Chicago
26 Mar Minnesota
29 Mar Golden State
3 Apr Golden State

The other 15 are all vs playoff teams or ones chasing - NO/Sac.

50 losses is pretty likely.

[objective]

This sucks man... starting at a 31-51 record.
Looking over the last 20 games, I only see 5 sure-fire wins:

14 Mar Minnesota
20 Mar Chicago
26 Mar Minnesota
29 Mar Golden State
3 Apr Golden State

I don't think any games are surefire wins.

If Curry plays I would pick the Warriors to win both games.

[FkLA]

Becky hands Pop the clipboard assuming it'll be for after the second FT, notices Poop is going to call the timeout right then and gestures that it should be after the second FT, Poop doesn't listen and poor Becks just stands there incredulous looking over at the other assistants. Finally gathers herself and walks up to the huddle but can't even bring herself to look the senile old man in the eyes. :lol

Those sure fire wins?

Spurs are 0-2 vs Wolves this year.
0-1 vs Bulls
Took overtime to beat a Curry-less, Green-less Warriors team at home.

[LakerHater]

Gawd I hate Forbes sooo fuckin much!

[tbdog]

Forbes is not that much worse than murray or white. Hes equal to gay

The advance stats says otherwise.

[timtonymanu]

Pop retiring from coaching the Spurs would be the best move this offseason tbh

[Chomag]

Pop stepping down would be just like we got the first pick in the Lottery. That's how significant and positive return that change would be.

[Arcadian]

:lol

[Floyd Pacquiao]

One other infuriating thing from this game:

Am I imagining things or did Dejounte Murray start the 2nd half great ... 9 points and 2 assists to tie the game up ...

And yet he still gets subbed out for White at 6:17? He only had 3 fouls.

Murray finally gets hot for once and everything is clicking and yet he has to come out because it's the damn 6 minute mark?

Pop is so over.
:lol pop has been like that since for ever. It doesn’t matter if a player is feeling it, if it’s your time to come out you’re coming out. He’s the simulator coach.

[paperboy77]

Pop = Joe Biden. :spin

[emanueldavidginobili]

Forbes 32 minutes is comedy at this point and DW played 25 :lol

[KimmyGib]

Lol @ defending Pop's timeout as a smart plan to throw off the free throw shooter. Advancing the ball after a miss and getting a 3 out of a timeout was obviously the best chance the Spurs had. Hell, even being down 4 and advancing the ball and trying to draw a foul on a 3 would've been better than what we saw. It's not just poor decision-making, it's straight up ridiculous decision-making.

[EasyMoney]

Man, why is bryn playing more than DJ and white. And pop only puts murray and white in together in the final minute. Pathetic.

[tbdog]

It makes no sense this late in the season and playoffs out of picture.

[Prime BEEF]

Because he’s not all there anymore. It is frustrating. I would prefer to see KJ out there too instead of Forbes.

[BillMc]

Didn't see the game but has KJ already taken Lonnie's minutes?

If so, good. Lonnie needs a fire lit under his ass. Great guy but I worry about his motor.

Lonnie was out with a shin bruise.

I'd rather see nobody than Forbes. Really. I'd prefer the Spurs start games 4 on 5 if it meant never having to see Forbes' stupid fucking face ever again.

[BillMc]

Lonnie was out with a shin bruise.

Thanks bro. Didn't know it.

This

seriously man, i'm tired of the starting lineup lineup revolving around him as if he's the centerpiece of the team.

[Kawhi Leonard]

Keldon Johnson becoming my favorite player on the team.

[Dex]

https://youtu.be/Y6RECQT49H4

Another stupid bitchy technical in a game that ended up going to overtime and the Spurs lost.

Man, I can't wait for this guy to be gone.

[tholdren]

in under two season he changed the whole culture, Pop allowed this behavior and makes excuses for it. Did he call him out? NO since Kawhi Trade has he called either LMA(less of an offender doesnt bitch) DDR or Bryn for there monumental lapses in "non spurs" behavior? NOPE has the $50 million dollar leader patty done it? NOPE

No leaders on this team since Manu and Timmy Retired.

Lol. You are dumb. Ddr is the best player on the spurs. He has meltdowns because he literally has to do everything. I think he should man up, but if the other players allow him to act like that, they are just as culpable.

Case in point is the softest player on the team lamarsha. Then you have fake tough guy murray running his mouth on social media, but they all take their cue from the current nba "stars"

Did you forget they play in a league where the best players cry and lobby to take the easiest route to a ring. Name 1 tough nba player. I will wait.

Lillard seems to be in it in the long haul for Portland, and he backs up his talk (even if it hasn't led to a ring).

Giannis seems pretty committed to Milwaukee but time will tell there.

So 2? Very well. I will concede to those two. Lillard moreso.
