[ace3g]

Tobias hits that...

[Thomas82]

Maybe just maybe the spurs could address the big man problem and draft one for once

I agree, and hopefully we can get James Wiseman to address the problem.

[slick'81]

[slick'81]

You cant stop spurmentum bitches

[MannyIsGod]

That 4 point play worked out but it should have been a dunk if dwhite had run the court properly. Spurs spacing is really ass this year.

[Joseph Kony]

that bullshit Embiid shot at the end of the 3rd that shouldnt have counted is going to end up costing us the game, just watch

[slick'81]

Fck me

[r0drig0lac]

Gay!!!

[slick'81]

Thats right rudy! You know how to fkcn score

[slick'81]

God dammit

[slick'81]

Lmao phili wants a review

[MannyIsGod]

Holy shit these refs

[slick'81]

Kj with the elbow to the dome

[Degoat]

If that’s a flagrant....

[MannyIsGod]

This is going to be an offensive foul which is bullshit

[slick'81]

2 fts fuckers!

[ace3g]

Tobias with a tip basket, lol

I guess White isn't Harden, lol

Please no 3s from Milton going forward

[slick'81]

Thats right

[slick'81]

[MannyIsGod]

Wow I'm shocked they didn't fuck it up

[slick'81]

Poodle was moving

[Degoat]

Spurs won’t get it

[SpurPadre]

Damn...another big missed free throw. Still proud of this team whatever the result.

[BatManu20]

He was clearly moving. Stupid challenge Pop.

[Darius Bieber]

We'll lose this challenge.... I swear to fuck if we lose by 2 points or less, that end of third quarter basket will haunt us.

[RC_Drunkford]

stupid challenge. Even if you win it it's out of bounds for Philly and they will make a 3

[slick'81]

119-123

[RC_Drunkford]

if the coach was smart he would've challenged that White travel call

[diego]

Ugh, should have challenged the white travel instead

[slick'81]

121-123 defense!

[Darius Bieber]

if the coach was smart he would've challenged that White travel call

Can't challenge a travel

Timeout spurs

[MannyIsGod]

What an awful possession by Murray

[DAF86]

Get Patty Thrills for the FTs.

[Joseph Kony]

good timeout. Sixers are so dumb, how do they not Poeltl immediately :lol

[slick'81]

129-128 spursball

[BatManu20]

Murray you idiot. Give it to DeMar

[Degoat]

Make your free throws spurs!!! Plz!!!

[slick'81]

What an awful possession by Murray


Thats muh pg:(

[Larry O]

Keep attacking the rim!!!

[slick'81]

Get it to demar hes fucking manic

[ace3g]

missed FT by Embiid!!!

[DAF86]

What an awful possession by Murray

Not watching, but by the look of things they were trying to go for the 2 for 1. Maybe? I don't know.

[Seventyniner]

See, DeRozan isn't the only one that misses clutch FTs.

[8sy21vd]

Murray is too erratic to be out there in crunch time.

[Seventyniner]

The Spurs just better not have as much trouble getting the ball in as they did last game.

[Joseph Kony]

wtf Murray...pass the goddamn ball

[spurstalk123456]

im really worried about these incoming free throws... please dont miss!

[slick'81]

White to the line and murray almost coughs it up

[slick'81]

Brick

[slick'81]

130-128 sixer ball

[DAF86]

The Spurs just better not have as much trouble getting the ball in as they did last game.

Timmy was money on clutch inbounding.

[LakerHater]

DAMMIT Derrick

[ace3g]

jeez, I thought we turned it over there

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Worst clutch free throw shooting team I have ever seen. At least Philly sucks and will choke, per par.

[Pelicans78]

White misses!!!!

[MannyIsGod]

This team is so unclutch with free throws

[slick'81]

Sixers with the chance to tie or go for the W

[DAF86]

Should have put Mills for the FTs. He's our best option in the clutch.

[slick'81]

This is it folks

[ace3g]

Please have Keldon out there

[slick'81]

Sixer up1

[Joseph Kony]

jesus fucking christ Murray is a retard...fucking idiot

[Trainwreck2100]

fuck

[Spurs 4 The Win]

:lol choking per par

[slick'81]

Its derozan time

[DAF86]

Fucking knew it.

[BatManu20]

THAT is why you hit your FT’s. Dummies

[slick'81]

Murray completely fucking up down the stretch

[r0drig0lac]

well..

[Spurs 4 The Win]

leave it to the spurs to blow this shit after almost stealing it

[Dex]

How the fuck do you leave the inbounder!?

[slick'81]

130-131 ,6.1 left

[ace3g]

Leave him wide open...

[Pelicans78]

Shake n Bake!!!!

[KDKSpurs24]

No clue why he was so far off of him...

[Dejounte]

We didnt deserve this game

[Degoat]

Give it to rudy

[spurstalk123456]

are you fucking serious

[Darius Bieber]

That looked like a travel before that 3

[tbdog]

You cant give an open 3. Gee.

[ace3g]

Freakin open gym shot there.

[Spurtacular]

WTF. Does this team have no basketball IQ?

Sag off the inbounder three shooter?

[BatManu20]

Dejounte has been shit the past 3 minutes. Gonna cost us the game. Derrick’s mossed FT was huge

[Spurs 4 The Win]

:lol Pelifags unite :lol

[slick'81]

poodle blows it

[twincam]

85% free throw shooter chokes

[Joseph Kony]

game over. what a fucking waste

[Degoat]

Fuck you Jakob

[slick'81]

Derozan feeds poodle for the miss

[r0drig0lac]

soft jakob

[Spurtacular]

Let's just not guard the guy shooting 45 3FG%

[BatManu20]

That’s game. Idiots. Competed hard all game and choked hard at the end.

[slick'81]

Spurs might still have a shot to tie

[Darius Bieber]

LLL

[MannyIsGod]

That bullshit violation is going to cost us the game.

[Dex]

Only fitting that DeJounte would finish fucking this up.

[RC_Drunkford]

why is DeRozan passing the ball to Poeltl????

[Darius Bieber]

This team is straight trash

[LakerHater]

BALL GAME

[Gibbz]

And IG Baller single-handedly loses the game.

[Degoat]

Jakob is absolutely worthless

[timtonymanu]

I mean Spurs surprisingly were in it until the end but damn does this team become mentally soft at the line

[BatManu20]

Lol Poeltl’ das soft as Nesterovic was. Dude’s just soft.

[slick'81]

.4 left sixers to the stripe

[Joseph Kony]

told yall Embiids shot that shouldve counted would cost the game :lol

[tbdog]

Murray with a defensive brain explosion.

[Spurtacular]

DeRozan can't just shoot a bunny. Has to take it into the teeth of bigs.

[Genovaswitness]

Clearly, you're well informed. I mean a person like yourself would know COVID-19 does serious damage to multiple organs, including the heart. Thus, having a heart condition is a co-morbidity. But you knew that cause you are not ignorant or anything, amirite?

yeah LMA made the conscious decision to sit out the season because of COVID not because he's bitch-made, lazy and wanted to heal on company time

[KobesAchilles]

It's official, Murray has no idea how to play defense anymore. He is also the dumbest end of game situation point guard in the whole league. Both offensively and defensively

[emanueldavidginobili]

Poeltl blows lmfao

[slick'81]

132-130 sixers win

[DAF86]

Fucking knew it.

Seriously, why not do this?

[Genovaswitness]

derrick white being a piece of shit human being per par. BRRRRIIIIIIIIIIIIICCKKKK

[boutons_deux]

Spurs beat themselves, fuck

[jbspurs]

Jakob too soft, that was a great pass from DeRozan

[Robz4000]

:lol chokers

[Mugen]

Welp, Dejounte cost us this one tonight. Hopefully he learns from it.

[TDomination]

Dang, so close to stealing that one

[SpurPadre]

Valiant effort with the odds stacked against us.

[itzsoweezee]

Dejounte with at least 4 plays down the stretch to give the game away. If he's out of the game, the Spurs win.

[talkspurs]

Do we drop back to 12th with the loss?

[RC_Drunkford]

DeRozan should've just pulled up baseline instead of passing the ball to Jakob. Everybody knows the guy can't score for shit

[MannyIsGod]

Cruelest way to lose this game tbh

[ace3g]

50/50 balls and defense lapses...

[TDfan2007]

Yet another close loss. The story of the season...

[daslicer]

This lost hurt but it was another fun game to watch. Spurs are playing with house money right now.

[Budkin]

Dammit! So close! Hell of an effort though.

[FkLA]

Fuck. I thought we had it. Great effort though. Not even mad. So much more enjoyable watching this group instead of that g-league POS.

DeMar was never the problem. Dude has been an assassin in the 4th.

[Dex]

I have a bad feeling that this second half is going to be very frustrating.

[slick'81]

Lol Poeltl’ das soft as Nesterovic was. Dude’s just soft.

clear lane and the 7 footer goes for the soft lay in lol. Dude went full Charles smith there

[Boomersgold]

Derozan should have taken it to the basket himself. Jakob wasn't making that shot. Struggles to make wide open layups.

[Dennis the Menace]

- Blown shot clock violation (What good is the replay booth / league review team???)
- White choked a free throw
- Murray blundered the inbounds defense
- Derozan should have took the wide open jump shot (Poetl was soft)

[cjw]

They had no business being in the game, but Demar and White put team on their backs.

Not sure if Murray had a lapse, or if they were trying to force ball away from Embiid on the inbound. Either way, it was horrible. Poeltl also needs to finish strong there. Right play by Demar.

9 seed is more likely path with that loss. Need to go 5-0 (4-1) and Memphis 2-3 (1-4) to get the 8, and have nobody else make up ground.

[ace3g]

Cruelest way to lose this game tbh

Would have been ok to lose around 5-6 points after being down 10+ but to get the lead late in the game...

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/Eei1fGwVoAAIuQo?format=png&name=large

[MannyIsGod]

Murray was really bad down the stretch but white blew a key free throw and poetl blew a layup. Not to mention plenty of stupid plays and bullshit refs. Hopefully the young guys learn from this.

[Degoat]

I’m Proud of the team, Jakob is to soft but he should have never been passed the ball Demar or Rudy should have a taken the shot

[Darius Bieber]

The worst part is the schedule only gets tougher from here on out.. May not win another game.

[Budkin]

This lost hurt but it was another fun game to watch. Spurs are playing with house money right now.

This tbh. Sixers hit a tough shot and we missed. Game.

[ace3g]

Rooting for Rockets tomorrow against Blazers

[Boomersgold]

DeRozan should've just pulled up baseline instead of passing the ball to Jakob. Everybody knows the guy can't score for shit

He didn't even have to make the basket. Just draw the foul and make the free throws. Instead, he softly lays up it.

Can't blame him. Jakob's not an offensive threat. It should have been Derozan to take the last shot.

[LaMarcus Bryant]

Murray screwed us by waving DeMar away and going for a floater

Doubling embiid and giving an open 3 was dumb too

[TDomination]

Fuck. I thought we had it. Great effort though. Not even mad. So much more enjoyable watching this group instead of that g-league POS.

DeMar was never the problem. Dude has been an assassin in the 4th.

agreed

[Dejounte]

Well if we can make excuses for the opposing team when theyre missing starters, we can make an excuse that we're missing two starters... Amiright?

[slick'81]

Schedule does get alot tougher

[diego]

dejounte is too anxious, pop and derozan need to rein him in. the shot he took down the stretch was terrible shot selection and clock management, and his recovery on the shot attempt was weak, his play down the stretch cost the team the win.
derozan's pass was good but i would have preferred for him to take the shot than trust poetl in that situation.

[Thomas82]

Do we drop back to 12th with the loss?

Currently we're at 10.

[FkLA]

He didn't even have to make the basket. Just draw the foul and make the free throws. Instead, he softly lays up it.

Can't blame him. Jakob's not an offensive threat. It should have been Derozan to take the last shot.

Yak is surprisingly athletic when he wants to be. Should've gone for the jam, imo.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

So this is what a devastating loss feels like. It’s been a while.

Just want to be in playoff contention as the 9th seed at least.

[slick'81]

Murray isnt a rookie anymore. dude needs to man updown the stretch

[spurraider21]

sucks to blow that layup at the end... but demar was carrying and dejounte sorta cost us. he kinda got himself stuck and helped philly deny him the ball, then he missed a floater over embiid, while derozan was on fire. he then didnt recover fast enough to stop shake's 3

[tim_duncan_fan]

Tbh if guys weren't such pussies about shooting the basketball earlier on we wouldn't have been in the situation. Besides Patty, Gay, and DeRozan, every other guy has to think about taking an open shot for 2.5 seconds or won't immediately attack the basket when they turn the corner on a defender. Fucking aggravating.

[ducks]

Pop should have challenged end of 3 quarter shot
What a idiot

[Larry O]

AAARG!!! Such a winnable game, but bonehead moves down the stretch, missed FT's, and the failure to just attack the rim with Embiid in foul trouble. SMH... Missed opportunity for a win cause it's gonna get tougher from here on out....

[spurs10]

Murray calling his own shot for a miss and leaving Milton wide open was tough to watch. Derozan is probably pissed.

[justinandimcool]

chin up fuckers, this was a scheduled b2b loss anyways and this team is young and athletic and finally don’t look like a bunch of pussies

Portland will drop some games

we still control our destiny. Denver, Utah, and New Orleans all winnable games tbh. Memphis schedule is hard as fuck. nothings changed from last night, the 8th seed still within reach

[SpurPadre]

Hopefully in the offseason, we can acquire another player that has solid 4th quarter efficiency.

[slick'81]

Eveyone knew poodle blows thats shit. Demar getting too cute there

[SPURt]

Not a bad showing versus a contending team on a back to back. The young guy’s legs may work better on a back to back, but apparently their brains are their yet.

[TD 21]

There's no one better than this team at choking games or being on the receiving end of bad luck.

Poeltl's more weak than soft. Just doesn't have the strength to bang with Valanciunas, Embiid, Jokic, etc.

Murray is unskilled, low IQ and delusional. Has no business playing crunch time again and should be shopped hard in the off season.

[TDomination]

Demar has surprisingly given me confidence at the end. I actually wanted the ball in his hands

[ace3g]

Coach Pop: “We’re fighting to get into the playoffs so it stings a lot.” But he also said this is a good experience for the younger players.

[pad300]

3ed game in 4th night, on a back to back. The sixers are on their second game of the bubble, with a day's rest. This was an impressive effort by us, came down to makes and misses at the end. We keep playing like this, we'll get into the play-in for sure; we might even make the 8th seed... Especially with Memphis playing as bad as they are.

[jbspurs]

Im excited for Keldon Johnson next season. I think Spurs found another gem...

[paperboy77]

Can you imagine if poop rolled out Forbes today? Woulda been a 25 point loss! These young guys have some swag. Lonnie needs to make himself heard out there.

[jbspurs]

Demar has surprisingly given me confidence at the end. I actually wanted the ball in his hands

These games will help him rebuild his confidence

[RD2191]

DJ Murray is a scrub tbh

[sananspursfan21]

chin up fuckers, this was a scheduled b2b loss anyways and this team is young and athletic and finally don’t look like a bunch of pussies

Portland will drop some games

we still control our destiny. Denver, Utah, and New Orleans all winnable games tbh. Memphis schedule is hard as fuck. nothings changed from last night, the 8th seed still within reach

Thats where I’m at with it. In December, this would have been a 20 point loss that was over before the half. These guys fought hard overall and had a shot against a (lower level) contender on a back to back. I’m trying to ditch my spoiledness, this ain’t 2014 anymore.

[Dex]

Eveyone knew poodle blows thats shit. Demar getting too cute there

The one time I want DeMar to take one of his patented iso game-enders and he dumps it off to the last guy who should be taking the shot.

Poeltl should not have touched that ball unless he was wide fucking open, and he had three defenders around him.

[Dennis the Menace]

Derrick.... hit your free throws

[jbspurs]

Keldon with 15 points on six shots

The TS% is of the charts.... and NOT A SPURG


He's pretty good getting the contacts going hard in the paint.

[MannyIsGod]

I am h appy with Murray's development but he should never be waving anyone off. That's not who he is, and I doubt that is who he will ever be. That ball needed to be in Demar's hands.

[FkLA]

The win would've tasted so good. Damn man. Feels good to be sad after a loss instead of mad (bc of Pop favoring his pets) though, tbh.

[Jordan Jackson]

They left free money on the table tonight. That Sixers team has a glass jaw. No way Brown still coaching that team next year.
Hope this game doesn’t come back to haunt the Spurs down the line. And where the fuck was Walker? Anyway, they look good so far. Hopefully Marco and Bryn never come back - ever.

[Dennis the Menace]

I am h appy with Murray's development but he should never be waving anyone off. That's not who he is, and I doubt that is who he will ever be. That ball needed to be in Demar's hands.

I’m pretty sure Derozan was being smothered and Dejounte couldn’t safely get it to him. Hence the waving it off. But probably should’ve just improvised with a known regular play to get it in his hands

[Dennis the Menace]

I’ll say this. If that last shot sequence happened with Aldridge in for Poetl, Aldridge probably gets that shot/finish down.

[TD 21]

The one time I want DeMar to take one of his patented iso game-enders and he dumps it off to the last guy who should be taking the shot.

Poeltl should not have touched that ball unless he was wide fucking open, and he had three defenders around him.

Blame the genius for not putting a bona fide shooter (Mills or Walker) in for Murray to provide an ounce of spacing. Of course the lane is going to be clogged (by a giant team, no less) when the closest thing you have to spacers are White and Gay.

[KDKSpurs24]

chin up fuckers, this was a scheduled b2b loss anyways and this team is young and athletic and finally don’t look like a bunch of pussies

Portland will drop some games

we still control our destiny. Denver, Utah, and New Orleans all winnable games tbh. Memphis schedule is hard as fuck. nothings changed from last night, the 8th seed still within reach
I disagree with the first part. You should only be feeling ok about this if the team would have lost by 10+ but they were in position to win and made some key mistakes to lose the game so it definitely stings. I’m still optimistic but this one may come back to bite the Spurs.

Nothing will sting, not even a playoff sweep loss against Load Management. We make the playoffs, great, we kept the streak alive. We don't make the playoffs, great, we get a lottery pick. We're in a win-win situation no matter what.

[Dejounte]

Only positive thing I see during this game was Q's coming out party. Dude can be a reliable defensive wing for us.

[GAustex]

good learning for the young spurs
Folks too hard on Jakob-Embid is a handful and the refs called some BS on Jakob early
Lonnie needs to join the party-figure out how to get in the action
Keldon looking good-keep making those open shots. That shot from free throw line was intriguing.
Murray needs to keep taking and making those off the dribble shots-he can get them when he wants
Less Patty
Gay and DDR flat out balled-excellent stuff from those 2

Not bad-build on that game-learn how to win the close games-this was good experience for the young ones

[GAustex]

Drew you got that passion

[GAustex]

I was hard on Keldon but he is growing on me

[GAustex]

He is finding his way-he needs to play

[Dejounte]

Drew you got that passion

Drew def has that passion. I like it when he uses it for good (provides content on his fave player, Keldon). Sometimes he can get a little off track though...lol. Drew if you want Keldon to be great, greatness means winning championships. And to win championships you need a team around you. Try to support other players sometimes. Its not all about Keldon ;)

But i agree on a night like tonight, DJ was GARBAGE

[Kurgan]

I am h appy with Murray's development but he should never be waving anyone off. That's not who he is, and I doubt that is who he will ever be. That ball needed to be in Demar's hands.

I was screaming at the tv when I saw Murray do that. Ridiculous. Dude's confidence far exceeds his ability.

[Robz4000]

Nothing will sting, not even a playoff sweep loss against Load Management. We make the playoffs, great, we kept the streak alive. We don't make the playoffs, great, we get a lottery pick. We're in a win-win situation no matter what.

As long as Forms and Beli don't come back from injury tbh.

[Kurgan]

Yak is surprisingly athletic when he wants to be. Should've gone for the jam, imo.

Yak is plenty athletic but he's got a lot of softness in his game, a bit like Tiago in that regards. Eubanks, who's much less talented, plays more physical than him.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

So people seriously want jak over Aldridge?

[SpurPadre]

KeLDoN, tbh.

[Capt Bringdown]

Murray's ceiling is more Antonio Daniels than Tony Parker. Spurs mistook a journeyman for a starter.

[KobesAchilles]

I swear the similarities are mind boggling.

[Arcadian]

Demar was looking like Manu out there with the Eurostep! He's really mastered it now.

[Killakobe81]

There's no one better than this team at choking games or being on the receiving end of bad luck.

Poeltl's more weak than soft. Just doesn't have the strength to bang with Valanciunas, Embiid, Jokic, etc.

Murray is unskilled, low IQ and delusional. Has no business playing crunch time again and should be shopped hard in the off season.

Mavs might disagree ...they lost a 7 pt lead withbless than 45 seconds left vs Rox...

[DAF86]

So people seriously want jak over Aldridge?

Yeah.

[phxspurfan]

I am h appy with Murray's development but he should never be waving anyone off. That's not who he is, and I doubt that is who he will ever be. That ball needed to be in Demar's hands.

This. When I saw him do that I cringed the same way when Duncan was pulled in 2013

[phxspurfan]

I’m pretty sure Derozan was being smothered and Dejounte couldn’t safely get it to him. Hence the waving it off. But probably should’ve just improvised with a known regular play to get it in his hands

Murray doesn’t exactly like DeRozan

[phxspurfan]

I’ll say this. If that last shot sequence happened with Aldridge in for Poetl, Aldridge probably gets that shot/finish down.

Also this. One power dribble, up and in. Something soft Euro bigs don’t really know how to do, and something even undersized American bigs learn early

[phxspurfan]

Yak is plenty athletic but he's got a lot of softness in his game, a bit like Tiago in that regards. Eubanks, who's much less talented, plays more physical than him.

Eubanks would have powered that home for sure. Only dude I’ve seen concuss a guy with a dunk :lol

[ragas]

Yes, that's alone on Poeltl. As a 24 year old vet, who got enough trust from Pop in close games over the years, he should have enough experience to make that bucket - especially against a defender like Embid. I hate the excuses that he got fouled. I mean, it doesn't matter how hard they go against him and that he would have got that whistle against him from the refs would it have been the the other way. That's no excuse. Someone who gets 4 shots per game has to be better when it counts. He'll never improve - he's got enough playing-time this season to show what he can do. I also don't understand why Demar passed him the ball. There's no way a guy with a 62% fg-percentage could make the bucket. If we only had had LMA. He would have shut down Embid with his elite defense and I can literally see his dynamic cut to the basket and posterize Embid to get the win for the Spurs. Would even prefer Pop would play Eubanks more. Spurs are much better with him... and he dunked on Antetokounmpo.

The other young guys were great. Ok, White isn't that young, but he will learn to make his free-throws in close situations. Murray made 1-2 little mistakes at the end, but he has a high ceiling and will learn from it. Glad the Spurs got him for cheap for the next years.
