Game Thread: Spurs vs Jazz — August 13, 2020 - 5:30PM CT

[DC23]

Here's to hopefully having several things go our way and making the 8/9 seed for a play-in game. Go Spurs Go!

[smush]

Nets are playing starters. They beat the clippers the other day. Never know.https://mobile.twitter.com/APOOCH/status/1293634377029689349

[kht]

Believe.

[TDomination]

memphis and suns both play before us. as long as 1 of them lose, our game will have meaning and of course we would then need the blazers to then lose.

would be awesome if both memphis and suns lost! that would make our game that much more exciting.

[DC23]

Is Jazz injury report available?

[smush]

Conley and Rudy are out

[Darius Bieber]

Giannis got suspended by the NBA for their game against Memphis.

[smush]

Dallas looks like they will play serious and the bucks don’t have anyone else out. The bucks can beat Memphis without Giannis

[Thomas82]

I'm wondering if the Jazz will take this game seriously if they'll throw another one to us.

[ace3g]

Like others have mentioned.

Utah Jazz Injury Report: Mike Conley - OUT (right knee soreness) Rudy Gobert - OUT (low back soreness) Emmanuel Mudiay - QUESTIONABLE (left knee soreness)

[GAustex]

Conley and Rudy are out
I thought you meant our Rudy

[slick'81]

Jazz still resting guys for the fuck f it. Great news for spurs facing a must win

[Seventyniner]

Does that mean everyone else on the Jazz will play? Mitchell, Ingles, et al?

[EasyMoney]

Does that mean everyone else on the Jazz will play? Mitchell, Ingles, et al?


Most likely. Since it's the last game I wouldn't expect those players to play full minutes

[BatManu20]

Need a lot of things to go our way tomorrow. Here’s to hoping.

[Genovaswitness]

so refreshing watching kawhi play. playing like 2x DPOY kawhi against the nuggets. what did the dipshit squad do against them last year in the playoffs :lmao :lmao :lmao

[spurs10]

Tomorrow is going to be a big day. If we get a shot at the 'play-in' it will be amazing. If not, still proud that we came into this ready to compete and playing hard.

:flag:

[Rummpd]

Proud of Spurs could easily have folded after losing their established star.

[Arcadian]

This is a shitty position to be in. I'm pretty sure the Spurs will win, but asking two other teams to lose is just too much to ask. It could happen, but I don't have a good feeling about it.

And keep in mind, making the play-in series is not making the playoffs. You have to win the play-in...to play your way in to the playoffs.

[Leetonidas]

Nets are playing starters. They beat the clippers the other day. Never know.https://mobile.twitter.com/APOOCH/status/1293634377029689349

Jacque vaughn doing us a solid :tu

[Dverde]

Marco’s swan song. No way he is coming back next season.

[GAustex]

Marco should go to Europe and light it up like Mirocic

[Dverde]

Marco should go to Europe and light it up like Mirocic

Yes, I agree. He has a couple euro years left. I’m a little surprised he showed up to the bubble with his free agency looming

[cd98]

Does that mean everyone else on the Jazz will play? Mitchell, Ingles, et al?

They probably play reduced minutes. Like play in the first half, but not the second half.

[BillMc]

If things fall our way, we make the play-in.

If not, then we can at least end the season on a victory, the first time that's happened since the last championship!

[BatManu20]

A ridiculous streak of 22 years of hard-earned playoff births likely ends today tbh.

[cjw]

Jacque vaughn doing us a solid :tu

It’s almost certainly his last regular season game as Nets coach. So why not?

[Rummpd]

Proud fight team has shown-what if HOF coach had turned to these players earlier as he should have more?

[widowmaker]

PIMSGA

[BatManu20]

Bucks didn’t even show up to play lol. Grizz up 11-2 early.

[RC_Drunkford]

there's no way that the Bucks are winning this game. And I see Dallas losing as well.

[Shakril]

Score is close, and even a team that is not 100% in it, but comes into rhytym can win games.

[BatManu20]

Grizzlies know what’s on the line and they’re playing like it.

Dallas game is already over. Phoenix up big before half.

[Shakril]

I acutally believe milwaukee will win. They are shooting only 29% while memphis are at 47% and are only up 4. The Suns game, well when you are shooting 60% than it gets ridicilous very quick.

[Dex]

Grizzlies know what’s on the line and they’re playing like it.

Dallas game is already over. Phoenix up big before half.

It's 20 points early in the 2nd. We've seen plenty of those games swing the other way.

That said, the Suns have been playing well so I expect them to win today. Griz are also playing like the want it more vs. Milwaukee.

[RC_Drunkford]

DiVicenzo and Seth Curry are garbage

[SpurPadre]

DiVicenzo and Seth Curry are garbage

Except when they play against us, tbh.

[BatManu20]

Blazers vs. Grizz play-in will be shit. Suns and Spurs both gonna get fucked tbh.

[spurspl]

suns deserves the most to be in a PO. I keep my fingers crossed they will make it.

[RC_Drunkford]

Score is close, and even a team that is not 100% in it, but comes into rhytym can win games.

I know you already regret that statement

[Mugen]

Should bench White today tbh.

[cd98]

Welp its Luka time vs Jazz.

[BatManu20]

Bucks are ass without Giannis, especially defensively. This game is his strongest case for both MVP and DPOY yet.

[Rummpd]

Tanking sucks

[DAF86]

Murray
Walker
Keldon
Samanic
Poeltl

Weatherspoon
Beli
Metu
Eubanks

That would be my rotation for this game. Imagine if Samanic gets 20+ on the last game of the season. :lol

[Mal]

Pop`s last game ?

[SpurPadre]

Welp, all streaks come to an end and what a ride it was. Thank you Spurs for 22 straight years of hard-fought, elite standards. Sure, there was much heartbreak during this run, none that hurt more than Game 6 but we wound up getting arguably the most satisfying revenge Championship Titles in Sports History and 5 titles overall for a pure dynasty out of it. We all look forward to a bright future, creating another magical run.
:bobo

[the golden era]

Totally agree. Been an unbelievable run that has come to define a huge portion of my life. I am disappointed but honestly this 8 game run was so much fun compared to the season pre COVID. We need the better pick so I’m not gonna dwell too long on it. I’m gonna enjoy Poppy’s last game on the bench.

[Degoat]

We’ve been so spoiled as fans through these 22 seasons having Duncan, Ginobili, Parker, and evening Nephew. I’m proud of my team, look forward to the nba draft! :flag::flag::flag:

[El Santo]

Watching Boban play for mavs .. he never got minutes with pop, same as bertans, they are both good... old man pop has to go....he broke lonnie .. he will break keldon... everyone needs to get over themselves... except for pop..

[Dejounte]

Mustang go off for 50 plzzzz

[the golden era]

Agreed. Spoiled AF. Nephew was icing on the cake, and 2014 of course. Very proud of the team. Pops even showed he still has it the way he has coached up the youngsters. Even DeMar bought into his role and has been really good during this tournament. In fact, we don’t go on this run without his sterling play.

[Degoat]

It was gonna happen eventually but you gotta imagine it’ll weigh on the players knowing they were the guys on the team that ended our streak

[the golden era]

Watching Boban play for mavs .. he never got minutes with pop, same as bertans, they are both good... old man pop has to go....he broke lonnie .. he will break keldon... everyone needs to get over themselves... except for pop..
GTFO. Pop is the GOAT coach. Boban and Latvian don’t mean shit. Boban got big pay day and we got fucked over on the trade for Latvian

[Genovaswitness]

Fantastic season with retarded fucking rotations brought to you by gregg “cuckold” popovich. don’t let the door
hit you on the way out :toast

[gambit1990]

now that it's over, it makes appreciate how wild the record would've been.

[the golden era]

I’m really disappointed with all the Pop hate about rotations this year when the fact is even if he had run out this squad the entire season we would’ve got stomped in the playoffs regardless bottom line is after Kawai left we’ve been in rebuild mode and they are actually getting better now with another first round early pick we’ve got a bright future coming up

[Russ]

Welp, all streaks come to an end and what a ride it was. Thank you Spurs for 22 straight years of hard-fought, elite standards.

:bobo

:toast

[Genovaswitness]

how many years is spurfan gonna cry “NEPHEW”!!!!

enjoy watching him ring (again) this year :toast

[the golden era]

The other issue that nobody seems to talk about is that a lot of players are probably over performing because there are no road games here young players always under perform on the road as a post to Home but every game is essentially a home game so you’re seeing wildly good play from players they probably are over performing for the most part

[Ron Swanson]

:flag:

[Degoat]

Wonder if everybody plays or not

[Rocalcio]

Luka and Keldon in the starting lineup

[Degoat]

Luka in the starting lineup

Is he really? Lol

[Truth4sale$]

Let LUCA loose!!!

[Rocalcio]

Is he really? Lol

Yup, so is Keldon (I edited my post).

[paperboy77]

Some asshole on another thread said the Spurs controlled their own destiny. They didn't control shit!

[GB20]

Some asshole on another thread said the Spurs controlled their own destiny. They didn't control shit!
Lol

[Dex]

Some asshole on another thread said the Spurs controlled their own destiny. They didn't control shit!

At the time, they did....then they lost against the Nuggets.

If Spurs had won out, we'd be 9th.

[Dex]

Win-win hear tonight. If we win, it's been a super successful bubble even if we didn't make the playoffs.

Lose...better draft pick.

We already know the results so let's just enjoy the last Spurs game of the '19-'20 season.

[ace3g]

Keldon and Luka starting

[paperboy77]

At the time, they did....then they lost against the Nuggets.

If Spurs had won out, we'd be 9th.

I was pretty damn sure that was the case. It's just a reminder of how stupid Pop was for favoring the scrubs all year. They did control their playoff chances but grandpa insisted on being mediocre.
That and I was actually hyped all week for this game only to find out on the way home the Suns and Grizz kicked ass. Very anticlimactic.

[BillMc]

Luka actually moves well for his height.

[GB20]

Luka has a lot skill but he needs motivation

[EasyMoney]

Luka actually moves well for his height.

Really? Judging by everyone's opinion on him here, he moved like he is walking in mud because of a 2 minute sprint last game out

[Darius Bieber]

God damn Luka is trash. That lottery pick we get won't matter cuz we're just gonna draft the worst possible player anyways.

[r0drig0lac]

Keldon 333

[Genovaswitness]

no idea why anybody is even playing lmao. I would just let the shot clock run out every possession. fuck this POS team

[EasyMoney]

no idea why anybody is even playing lmao. I would just let the shot clock run out every possession. fuck this POS team

No one forcing you to watch this game

Some of you users are so infuriating. Like you wake up every morning with a knife stuck up your asses.

[MannyIsGod]

Why the fuck is Marco playing

[smush]

Pop is playing Marco so he show himself off. He is gone!

[GB20]

That fucking Marco is taking bad shots

[ace3g]

Another career night incoming for

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EfVeTFiUEAAqF6L?format=jpg&name=large

[SAGirl]

Nice post move Jakob. has to be said.

[Mugen]

I'm gonna crack up if Beli sees 30+ mins in this game :lol

[BillMc]

Really? Judging by everyone's opinion on him here, he moved like he is walking in mud because of a 2 minute sprint last game out

He doesn't know where to go yet but he does move well. Apparently he's grown an inch since being drafted too.

[spurspl]

KELDON <3

[SAGirl]

now that it's over, it makes appreciate how wild the record would've been.
honestly.. I thought it wasn't attainable and preferred a high draft pick... but with it being so close to possible at the end it is a bummer. It had to happen sometime I guess. Now they have that yoke off their backs I hope and can rebuild freely I hope.

[ismael-robert]

Win-win hear tonight. If we win, it's been a super successful bubble even if we didn't make the playoffs.

Lose...better draft pick.

We already know the results so let's just enjoy the last Spurs game of the '19-'20 season.

It's amazing after so much discussion some still don't understand the bubble....win or lose our pick isnt affected. Blazers have to lose n Phoenix make playoffs by winning 2 against Griz for us to get better pick.

[smush]

Metu is gone! Pop stops game for him.

[Mugen]

Pop wants to see what he has in Beli :lol

[Degoat]

Murray sucks :pctoss

[Dejounte]

Metu has no fight or hustle. Hes worse than Luka in that regard

[Russ]

I'm gonna crack up if Beli sees 30+ mins in this game :lol

A farewell fling?

[BillMc]

Gee...this is not fun so far...

[GB20]

Murray has not fire since he got paid.

[SAGirl]

Johnson showing he's the real deal... GReat to seeeeeee.

[Mugen]

This Luka/Metu/Eubanks/Beli should be fun :lol

[SAGirl]

wow I step out for less than 5 mins and it's like a 20 pt lead by Jazz.

[Degoat]

Luka!!!

[SAGirl]

Smanic made a 3 ...

[Dejounte]

Oooo smooth 3 from Luka

[spurspl]

wtf is murray doin????

[SAGirl]

wow samanic is so weak that just some body contact threw him off like 5 feet

[Mugen]

Maybe they just leave Dejounte in the bubble

[BillMc]

I think Drew has earned a full contract

[Dejounte]

Samanic is fixing his hair every 1 minute..mr. Pretty boy

[Degoat]

Omg Luka!!!

[SAGirl]

Luka another 3... good to see at least tbh

[r0drig0lac]

Luka another 3... good to see at least tbh

he is already a better player than Forbes

[BatManu20]

Luka showing a pulse

[Rito3d30]

wow Jazz is still playing Mitchell

[Dejounte]

Samanic could easily be a Bertans for us AT LEAST if he would just stop trying to play like a wing

[SAGirl]

big body took out Ed Davis. He was playing really well for the Jazz in this game.

[EasyMoney]

Luka managing to stay in front of Mitchell. Nice.

[SAGirl]

Maybe Samanic is a wing...

[GB20]

Luka showing a pulse
Remember he is only 19 years old

[Dejounte]

Maybe Samanic is a wing...

He needs to improve his ball handling first. The ball pokes lose way too often

[SAGirl]

I have liked samanic agility as a wing... too weak at this point for a big. has shot the 3 well this game so far. food for thought.

[RC_Drunkford]

Samanic is showing some potential. He's just raw and needs a lot of development. But his shot and his mobility are positives

[BillMc]

Jazz coach looks likes Joseph Goebbels

[Degoat]

I could be wrong but I think Luka just need to simplify his game, shoot 3s, makes smart cuts to the basket, and play good defense. If he can do that consistently then he may become useful

[BillMc]

Samanic could easily be a Bertans for us AT LEAST if he would just stop trying to play like a wing

I agree. Younger and far more athletic.

That said I miss Davis. RIP Riga Time.

[SAGirl]

He needs to improve his ball handling first. The ball pokes lose way too often
Yea I haven't seen him in the gleague at all. First time I have seen him for some extended minutes. His TO ratio there was scary.

[Dex]

I think Drew has earned a full contract

Never gonna be a star, but can definitely be a serviceable big on the bench in the NBA.

[Dejounte]

Yea I haven't seen him in the gleague at all. First time I have seen him for some extended minutes. His TO ratio there was scary.

The decent NBA players know what move theyre gonna do before they do it... Luka freestyles way too much when he has the ball in hands. He turns left, then turns right, then turns left... Way too indecisive and doesnt know what to do right away. It's no wonder his matchup steals it from him easily.

He tries to be too cute with rhe ball

[SAGirl]

I don't know why Marco is getting minutes at this point

[Ditty]

People need to stop worrying about Luka and worry about Murray. He’s been awful!

[RC_Drunkford]

damn that was actually good D by Marco :lol

[Dex]

Pop bringing out the new twin towers...Eubanks and Poeltl

[Dejounte]

People need to stop worrying about Luka and worry about Murray. He’s been awful!

Murray looks like a player still trying to make the team..its sad. He should be a stabilizing force for these young players

[spurspl]

People need to stop worrying about Luka and worry about Murray. He’s been awful!

agree, luka is way younger, give him time. Murray is 24yrs old, got a saucy contract and plays shit

[Mugen]

I wonder what Murray and the 11th could net tbh.

[Degoat]

Murray has looked pretty damn bad, hope to he figures shit out next season

[Nivek_ogre]

Murray has looked pretty damn bad, hope to he figures shit out next season

[BillMc]

I wonder what Murray and the 11th could net tbh.

the 12th

[Nivek_ogre]

Eubanks looks like every dude I used to ball with in the late 90s

[GB20]

Murray looks like he is 45 out there. He looks slow.

[Dejounte]

the 12th

Not the 12th...

[RD2191]

the 12th
:lol

[r0drig0lac]

the 12th

lmao

[Dejounte]

Keldon not playing enough... But i guess this game is meaningless and hes secured his spot on the team

[Dejounte]

the 12th

That one flew over my head lmfao

[Mugen]

the 12th

:lol

[Dejounte]

This is a really tall lineup by us. Samanic, Eubanks, Poetl

[EasyMoney]

I don't know why Marco is getting minutes at this point


He is literally the only person left on the bench who is available, ha

[Mugen]

Lonnie is probably a better PG than Dejounte tbh.

There's like a 50% chance Dejounte is going to make a terrible decision on either end of the floor and he's not talented enough to make up for those mental mistakes.

Over the "summer," he needs to become either a knockdown shooter from outside or learn how to start drawing fouls at a higher clip. He's been super, super disappointing this bubble.

[SAGirl]

Murray looks like he is 45 out there. He looks slow.
I remember him being way faster pre injury. Like he had a super quick first step. It was his one thing that made me go "Wow" b4 the injury. I don't see it now. He's not slow, but his step is not what it was to me.

[Nivek_ogre]

Our starting point guard sucks at basketball.

[BillMc]

Luka needs to be more aggressive and he clearly is sometimes lost, but he moves well and has a nice shot. The potential is there.

Need more KJ and less DJ tonight.

[SAGirl]

He is literally the only person left on the bench who is available, ha
did Quin Weatherspoon get injured?
I stepped out for like 5 minutes. i see on the boxscore he only played 3 minutes.

[Kurgan]

Spurs seem to have a bad habit of giving their point guards extensions when they don't deserve them. Parker in 2014. Now Murray.

[Kurgan]

I remember him being way faster pre injury. Like he had a super quick first step. It was his one thing that made me go "Wow" b4 the injury. I don't see it now. He's not slow, but his step is not what it was to me.

He's like prime Rondo...if he couldn't dribble or pass. Their shooting's about the same though lol

[Degoat]

Could be wrong but I bet Murray doesn’t want to be playing out there, thinks he’s on the level of Demar, Rudy, and white

[Arcadian]

The final half of the Spurs season is upon us :(

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Murray is looking really bad running the team. Walker needs to be more aggressive

[spurspl]

Could be wrong but I bet Murray doesn’t want to be playing out there, thinks he’s on the level of Demar, Rudy, and white

in the lasts games in the bubble ddr rudy white were playin and murray sucks too. now sucks too. and in the regular season he sucks too. And he sucks a lil bit less before his injury but most of ppl here didnt notice that

[Degoat]

in the lasts games in the bubble ddr rudy white were playin and murray sucks too. now sucks too. and in the regular season he sucks too

He has been disappointing but he’s had some good moments

[SAGirl]

I saw the report that Quin got injured.

[Degoat]

Keldon is that guy!!

[Mugen]

BIG.BODY.

[SAGirl]

Keldon looking like the most talented Spur. Future is bright. Should have played all season tbh. Might have started a little lost but he can pick things up fast. After all, what were the Spurs playing for this year? After they went on losing streaks and all? In a way I am glad that streak is over. Can't play for a streak when the team has young mustangs that need minutes...

[Dejounte]

BIG BODAYYYYY

[RC_Drunkford]

I'm really excited how the young guys gonna look next season. If they all make significant improvements and we draft a talented forward we should be right back in the playoff hunt

[Dejounte]

I'm really excited how the young guys gonna look next season. If they all make significant improvements and we draft a talented forward we should be right back in the playoff hunt

Isn't "next season" just 2 months from now? Not sure how much improvement they can make in that span of time

[spurspl]

daaamn keldon

finally theres a light in the tunnel for the spurs future

[BatManu20]

Poeltl could be a significantly better player with just some fine tuning. For starters,

A.) Quit swiping down on block attempts cause your follow-through fouls the player almost every time, and

B.) Stop falling for pump fakes from non-shooting big men around the perimeter..

That alone would turn him into a player who isn’t a foul-machine.

[BatManu20]

Keldon is a damn stud.

[SAGirl]

Bad D samanic in the paint. no hustle for rebounds.

[SAGirl]

Murray hunting for a rebound leaving that 3 pt shot open. boooo

[RC_Drunkford]

Isn't "next season" just 2 months from now? Not sure how much improvement they can make in that span of time

December is in 2 months? Ok I thought August, September, October and November are 4

[Kurgan]

Bad D samanic in the paint. no hustle for rebounds.

He's a pouter. Saw him whining to the Spurs coaching staff at the last timeout. Going to be a really bad habit unless he's humbled.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Poor Samanic is lost on those switches. They need to talk more on defense. That would help a ton being more vocal and giving assignments on defense

[Degoat]

Nothing is set in stone for next seasons start, I’ve heard it could start in January or February too

[RC_Drunkford]

Murray hunting for a rebound leaving that 3 pt shot open. boooo

that was Samanic's mistake, he didn't rotate

[spurspl]

Murray hunting for a rebound leaving that 3 pt shot open. boooo

he cant shoot and pass so hes huntin for defensive rebounds to make his stats look better

[r0drig0lac]

Samanic or Reggie Miller?

[SAGirl]

Luka with another 3.

[spurspl]

has lonnie a bad luck? during games in a bubble he had a lot of shots that the ball hit the rim few times or went in and out...

[Kurgan]

Poeltl is the least intimidating 7'1 player I've ever seen. Guy has size but doesn't know how to use it on offense.

[Degoat]

Gah Lonnie needs to learn to finish more

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Samanic is pretty solid one on one defensively but off ball defense he has a tendency to ball watch and he gets caught on screens easy due to being weak physically.

for all the people talking trash about his athleticism though, you’re seeing 1st hand he can move really well for his height

[SAGirl]

Johnson makes it look easy.. that is how you know a guy is talented.

[Nivek_ogre]

Lonnie needs to learn how to use the backboard this off season.

[SAGirl]

Gah Lonnie needs to learn to finish more
that was not a good shot to take, there were two guys in the paint ahead of him and he was off balance. bad decision there.

[BatManu20]

Lonnie is the opposite of Keldon. Doesn’t attack the paint strong. Always falls away from the rim and away from contact. Misses a lot of shots in the paint as a result.

[BillMc]

Samanic is pretty solid one on one defensively but off ball defense he has a tendency to ball watch and he gets caught on screens easy due to being weak physically.

for all the people talking trash about his athleticism though, you’re seeing 1st hand he can move really well for his height

This.

[RC_Drunkford]

has lonnie a bad luck? during games in a bubble he had a lot of shots that the ball hit the rim few times or went in and out...

he has to work on his finishing at the rim. He ain't using the backboard the right way from those angles


Poeltl is the least intimidating 7'1 player I've ever seen. Guy has size but doesn't know how to use it on offense.

His 5th year in the NBA and he still doesn't have any post moves and can't shoot free throws

[Dex]

has lonnie a bad luck? during games in a bubble he had a lot of shots that the ball hit the rim few times or went in and out...

That's not luck. That's physics.

Good players make shots.

[SAGirl]

Samanic is pretty solid one on one defensively but off ball defense he has a tendency to ball watch and he gets caught on screens easy due to being weak physically.

for all the people talking trash about his athleticism though, you’re seeing 1st hand he can move really well for his height
I have definitely liked him on on one on the perimeter. Outside of that... nope, specially in the paint. too weak bounces off of guys even. Ed Davis b4 he got injured was making him look like a rag doll.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Johnson makes it look easy.. that is how you know a guy is talented.

Keldon embraces contact! Lonnie & Dejounte try to avoid it and that’s one of the reasons they miss so many layups or take bad floaters.

keldon rarely settles for bad shots and finishes strong or at the very least draws fouls

[Ozballer]

has lonnie a bad luck? during games in a bubble he had a lot of shots that the ball hit the rim few times or went in and out...

He is doing the hardest part with ease, giving himself a chance to score...he needs to carry on getting up there until they start dropping. Once they do (you'd hope the will eventually), this guy can be scary

[r0drig0lac]

Metu ....

[BatManu20]

Lol Metu is so ass

[Dex]

Lol Metu is so ass

He's like a bad version of Mahinmi.

Cut the cord, Spurs.

[GB20]

The way metu is playing, he will be playing in Iraq next year.

[Kurgan]

Keldon embraces contact! Lonnie & Dejounte try to avoid it and that’s one of the reasons they miss so many layups or take bad floaters.

keldon rarely settles for bad shots and finishes strong or at the very least draws fouls

Probably something mental with both of them since they both had injuries very early in their careers.

[spurspl]

jimmy butler had an invisibae
metu had an invisibledefender

[Dex]

I'm over Dejounte. He is not the future.

[Dex]

Another stupid goddamn pass from DJ.

[Kurgan]

The way metu is playing, he will be playing in Iraq next year.

He'll join Ryan Richards in the Belgian league

[EasyMoney]

DJ stands there dribbling the ball, throws it away when luka decides to not wait for it anymore when he should have gotten it seconds before

[Truth4sale$]

Samanic is showing something, Metu is showing he has his bags packed!

[spurspl]

he has to work on his finishing at the rim. He ain't using the backboard the right way from those angles

thats for sure but i was saying bout shots from a midrange and from deep. Those shots looks pretty good, release and timing but didnt get into basket

[smush]

Luka shot looks good today. That’s encouraging

[SAGirl]

good to see Luka shoot well.

[Collins21]

Is there really a guy on the Jazz named Oh Mi So Horny?

[GB20]

I think Luka has more potential than Murray

[Truth4sale$]

Samanic with another 3! Has been playing better as the game has gone on. Still hesistant to shoot. Popovich should be instructing Dejounte to get people involved, work on his playmaking skill, not his shooting skills.

[BatManu20]

Nothing like watching Ferrari brick 3 after 3 in a meaningless game instead of letting the young guys get more touches.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Probably something mental with both of them since they both had injuries very early in their careers.

maybe so......

it could also be for Murray that he is so thin. Walker is not a small guy so it baffles me that he doesn’t attack the rim stronger. He would draw so many fouls if he did.

[BillMc]

Kinda wish Lonnie wouldn't disappear so often....

[BatManu20]

Luka showing signs of life before the offseason. Gotta like that. A 6’11 shooter who can spread the floor never hurts. Hope he builds on that while improving his court awareness.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

I think Luka has more potential than Murray


heck yeah he does.

his one on one defense has been pretty damn good on guards this game.

he has a lot of good physical tools for a tall guy to go along with a solid shooting stroke and an okay handle. He has to keep working on those things and especially his body and conditioning

[r0drig0lac]

Walker from deeeee...

[SAGirl]

Wow Lonnie.

[spurspl]

finally lonnie, keep it up

[BillMc]

Kinda wish Lonnie wouldn't disappear so often....

HE HEARD ME

[Dejounte]

Not a bad statline for Luka...

[SAGirl]

Dejounte made a shot and started ballhogging and not passing. that is why he got that ball stolen, wanted to go 1 on 5. it's garbage time but hone your pg skills dude.

[phxspurfan]

Does Luka really have an arm sleeve tat? :rollin

[phxspurfan]

Luka should’ve sported the Love Me jersey

[BatManu20]

Dejounte with the ball in the open floor is depressing. He’ll never be a good ball-handler. He’s a turnover waiting to happen.

[MultiTroll]

105-102
If we only had an offensive strategy

[Darius Bieber]

Lol even our "young core" is trash and can't keep up with Jazz third stringers

[MultiTroll]

The non existent offensive strategy leaves the Spurs wide open for getting picked on transition the other way.

Not that Grandpa has a damn clue. :lol

[Degoat]

Jazz celebrating an early 1st round exit it looks like.... (I’m bitter)

[Kurgan]

The lack of hustle or any type of urgency from Metu is shocking. His career is on the line here and he doesn't give a fuck. Hope he enjoys the Scottish league or wherever he'll end up.

[GB20]

Keldon has not touched the ball this quarter

[Dejounte]

Hes gonna be a twitch streamer / lawyer

If some team is dumb enough to trade a decent first rounder for him, I ship him out. He’s shown little improvement this year. Yes, he lost a season to injury. But he’s never going to be a top 4 player on a contending team. Roll the dice and spend his salary elsewhere.

[SAGirl]

Keldon has not touched the ball this quarter
Murray has been ballhogging.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

It’s funny when Stan Van Gundy was talking about players being good shooters and athletes but not getting playing time due to being poor decision makers and right after that Lonnie Walker dribbles into a ton of traffic and lost the ball and Samanic instead of getting to the ball handler on the break is running in no mans land to get dunked on. Lmao.

poor basketball IQ all around. SMH.

He’s not going anywhere. Still only 23 and on a team-friendly deal. He’ll be here for a while and Spurs will continue to try and develop him and hope he pans out.

[Kurgan]

If Murray had Nephew's work ethic, he'd probably be our best player by now. Instead, he's the same sloppy player he was two years ago.

[smush]

Murray! What is he doing???

[EasyMoney]

Runs right into 3 guys.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Murray is NOT a POINT GUARD!!

lmao.

[Mugen]

Smh Dejounte

[smush]

We could have one this game but Murray messed it up again.

[Dejounte]

Big difference for Samanic between now and the first few scrimmage games is he's actually getting into defensive stance now. Thats a BIG difference and improvement

[smush]

Keldon gets us points as soon as he gets the ball!

[smush]

Stan just said Keldon will push lonnie out!

Keldon has to start with white!!!!!

[Degoat]

Yo..... KJMVP

[SAGirl]

Murray's ballhogging took possessions away from Johnson. Only got going again at the end when DJ thought the game was over.

[Dejounte]

KJ's jumper is WET!!! Smooth as hell

[Kurgan]

Keldon's a rookie and he's already better than instagram baller. Can't believe Spurs gave this bum an extension when he can't even dribble or shoot. Those are skills every point guard in the league should have.

[smush]

Keldon and Derrick! That’s are future. I am encouraged.
