Game Thread: Spurs vs. Raptors — Dec. 26th, 2020 - 7:30pm/C

[PhantomDashCam]

Coin flip game. Who’s getting hot last quarter?
Patty and DDR have been sensational.

[james evans]

If Defrozen wasn’t trying to protect his fg%, the 3 would have counted.

[NASpurs]

Rudy has more minutes than LMA :lol

[EasyMoney]

Here is trey lyles, for whatever reason.

[Ron Swanson]

Lyles???

[Dejounte]

MVPLYLES

[FkLA]

Why is Lyles out there? Pop trying to start with his stupid shit again.

[NASpurs]

Oh Fuck

[poopbox]

Lawd Jesus Lyles is in the game :depressed

[Chomag]

Lyles.... Seriously! ? And here I was giving props to Pop's rotations last game

[NickiRasgo]

Trash Lyles in.

[SpurPadre]

Yes sir


He's the guy who filmed the video of Jeremy Castleberry, Nephew's best friend, saying it.

I could've sworn it was him. There was alot of laughing in the background so they were probably egging him on.

[NASpurs]

Fuck you Lyles for making that 3. That's like 30 more minutes next games.

[phxspurfan]

just tuned into the game. Just in time to see Purrtl go up weak for another layup.

[Chomag]

Bodies flying everywhere when Keldon drives in :lol

[poopbox]

What is Pop doing...this is our worst spacing lineup

[RD2191]

Who the fuck is Chris Boucher? :lol

[Rito3d30]

It's like playng Bowling with KJ:lol

[phxspurfan]

That lineup killed the lead

[Dejounte]

This Chris Boucher kid is fucking good

[Chomag]

Yeah F pop with this cute line-up I knew he just couldn't help himself

[Fusternino]

Poeltl silently getting owned all game.

[poopbox]

Keldon lost the ball, got back on defense, forced a miss...but LMA is such a lazy sack of shit he just let Boucher go right by him for the put back...

Man I am counting the days when this fucking bum is no longer on our team

[Amuseddaysleeper]

We need to not be as sloppy

[Dennis the Menace]

Keldon gets so much contact. Refs need to treat him fairly

[$pursDynasty]

Raptors got Buchette off the street and he is notably better than our Luca that we spent a premium draft pick on.

[NickiRasgo]

Bouchier is a G-Leaguer. He's like a previous MVP 2 years ago. Nice pick by the Raptors.

[Uriel]

Did you guys notice how much the Spurs have been passing? The beautiful game is being brought back.

[Dejounte]

KELDON FUCKING JOHNSON

[Chomag]

Why tf is Lyles eating up someone else's minutes?

[KobesAchilles]

Raptors got Buchette off the street and he is notably better than our Luca that we spent a premium draft pick on.
Rather have him than LMA tbh

[FkLA]

Raptors got Buchette off the street and he is notably better than our Luca that we spent a premium draft pick on.

He spent years developing in the g-league. IIRC he was their best player when Nurse was still their g-league coach and they won the g-league title.

[Ditty]

I wanted the Spurs to get Boucher so bad this past offseason.

[Uriel]

Thankfully Lyles is off the floor, but in his defense, he wasn’t terrible in his time.

[james evans]

Bousher looks as if he weighs about 180lbs but he’s somehow killing us in the paint.

[phxspurfan]

Bobby Bouchey killing us

[emanueldavidginobili]

Vassell?

[james evans]

I wanted the Spurs to get Boucher so bad this past offseason.
He’s not old or slow enough to sign with us.

[Chomag]

Does LMA even want to play basketball?

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Aldridge is beyond finished, bench him my god

[phxspurfan]

We have the horses to get out and run...and play some weird shit lineups

[RC_Drunkford]

just terrible basketball in the last few minutes

[YoungbuckMurray]

Is Demar hurt why isn’t he in here

[NASpurs]

The fucking Waterboy is tearing us a new one. This is what LSU must had felt.

[SpurPadre]

Admittedly, I don't watch basketball outside of Spurs games these past few years so I don't know if Boucher is just another random scrub who happens to have the game of his life against the Spurs and sucks against everyone else or if he's really this good?

[Dejounte]

https://twitter.com/spurs/status/1343036691041411073?s=19

[KobesAchilles]

I was wrong. Get LMA off our effing team. Brian Wrong screwing us over again.

[RC_Drunkford]

Boucher is outplaying Poeltl and LMA together by himself

[Chomag]

Pop went completely away from the bubble lineup

[poopbox]

Closing with the lineup that got killed in preseason:lol

[phxspurfan]

Boucher like a taller, prime MJ out there

[Uriel]

Not sure if this is the lineup I want closing games.

[SPURt]

What is this lineup? Gay/LMA together is not a good look

[Chomag]

Closing with the lineup that got killed in preseason:lol
And all of last season minus Forbes I guess..

[$pursDynasty]

He spent years developing in the g-league. IIRC he was their best player when Nurse was still their g-league coach and they won the g-league title.

Why do they have gleaguers that can develop into nba contributors while all our Austin team has the point guard with the headband that i only see in the summer league?

[NASpurs]

Poop can't help himself :lol

[Chomag]

If Pop doesn't earn an F on the game grades then I don't know what will :lol

[Ditty]

OG making me eat shit lol

[Dennis the Menace]

The bad lineup Pop is back

[duncan2k5]

Why do they have gleaguers that can develop into nba contributors while all our Austin team has the point guard with the headband that i only see in the summer league?

Our young guys don't get to play...other teams play their rookies...teams better than us too

[Chomag]

Freaking he'll, why do the refs hate Keldon so much!?

[Dejounte]

Keldon with his first terrible game

[onechance87]

murray has no pg instincts

[Dejounte]

Fuck VanVleet

[phxspurfan]

Mills getting absolutely shit on

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Pop going back to being stupid with Lonnie and Vassell?

[poopbox]

Rugy been trash and back in to close the game :lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

Why on earth is Lonnie not in

[timtonymanu]

:lol VanVleet, typical scrub going off on the Spurs.

I'm aware he's actually a decent player but he always turns into Curry against us.

[Dejounte]

Why on earth is Lonnie not in

Patty's having a perfect game

[Ron Swanson]

DeMar the outside shooter now?

[Ditty]

We deserve to lose with this awful finishing lineup.

[timtonymanu]

Wish Demar could hit those all the time, would really go a long way

[emanueldavidginobili]

Ridiculous that Lonnie is on the bench

[Rito3d30]

probably saving up Lonnie and Devin for tmr b2b game?
at least I hope

[$pursDynasty]

LaMonster

[phxspurfan]

Wow... ok play some D

[Uriel]

YEEEEEEEEEES.

[Dejounte]

We'd be blown out without DeMar in this game

[spurraider21]

LMA and DeRozan doing what they can

[SpurPadre]

Ma Touches! Now play some d!

[Ditty]

Now Pop is making me eat shut lol.

[NASpurs]

How we losing this one boys?

[james evans]

I’m not celebrating yet cuz I have a feeling they’ll hit an open 3.

[phxspurfan]

Lowry with the choke

[duncan2k5]

We'd be blown out without DeMar in this game

Replace him with any other wing and we would have won easily...he isn't an impactful player...he puts up meaningless numbers

[RC_Drunkford]

sub in Vassell for Mills

[timtonymanu]

Patty's having a perfect game

Hilarious that it's Patty of all people, but a W is always nice.

[SpurPadre]

DeJounte messed around and got a triple double.

[duncan2k5]

Murray with the triple double... Good stuff... Didn't shoot well, but played well

[timtonymanu]

DeJounte messed around and got a triple double.

If your boy can keep this up despite some of his flaws, it would be very nice. :tu

[Uriel]

Put in Vassell and Walker for defense.

[phxspurfan]

Contract Year DeMar

[Dejounte]

A DeMar who can shoot 3s is fucking lethal

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

derozan with a 3 in crunch time? just when I thought 2020 wasn't strange enough ...

[Dejounte]

Great contest by DJ

[duncan2k5]

A DeMar who can shoot 3s is fucking lethal

No he isn't ...still meaningless because the guy is empty calories

[Robz4000]

Fun game and win.

[Uriel]

Holy shit, we dodged so many bullets tonight :lol

[Chomag]

Put this away KJ!

[timtonymanu]

Ugly but at least they got the win.

[SpursRulez4eVeR]

Murray with the quietest triple double of all time...

[onechance87]

ugly game...but we closed it

[duncan2k5]

derozan with a 3 in crunch time? just when I thought 2020 wasn't strange enough ...

Just wait till the game means something...he will completely shit himself

[r0drig0lac]

Murray TD haters..

[duncan2k5]

Great D from Murray

[Ron Swanson]

Murray had a triple double? Had no idea he was close to getting one.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Happy to have Dejounte first triple double in a W.

[Mugen]

:lol

[SPURt]

Glad to get a win on the first night of a back2back against a good team

[Dejounte]

Ugly, ugly game by KJ. Part of it was the refs but part of it was him. Impressive that he got 15 shots though and Pop allowing it...

[NASpurs]

Go back to Canada... oh wait.

[BillMc]

What's Nurse bitching about?

[barakz21]

Spurs win!!! Ugly, but a win’s a win. Besides, it helps build character for the team.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

What a great game. This team is showing some heart and spirit that were lacking last season.

[Arcadian]

solid ass win

[NASpurs]

Going to get our shit pushed in Nawlins but this win will do nicely.

[BillMc]

Victory!!

[SpurPadre]

If your boy can keep this up despite some of his flaws, it would be very nice. :tu

That and your boy White to get back and play like he did in the bubble.

[RC_Drunkford]

Told y'all we gon get this W

[Chomag]

Keldon actually making his crunch time free throws, welp I guess we will have to trade him now :lol

[NickiRasgo]

That offensive foul by Siakam really broke their momentum. Not sure if it's offensive foul though but it was Siakam who forced his way. Was it a bad call? Setting aside biases.

[justinandimcool]

glad Keldon is getting reps in close games. even if it didn’t go well it’s good for the long run

Murray definitely unleashing some anger after seeing White get a bigger deal. love to see it

Derozan is amazing


good win, last years Spurs would’ve folded after the 5th Toronto three

[RC_Drunkford]

Going to get our shit pushed in Nawlins but this win will do nicely.

Nope. Just imagine the spacing of a team starting 4 non-shooters in Zion, Adams, Lonzo and Bledsoe. All you have to do is play zone defense and they can't score

[hombre]

What's the best Spurs after game shit to listen to? Gotta ride the wave.

[NASpurs]

DeRozan +3 :wow

[daslicer]

I can't stand Vanvleet after he said "Fuck Pop" during the Raptors parade. I'm not even fan of Pop but thought it was a low and a pathetic form of ass kissing for Kawhi. It felt good to get the win against this weasel.

[KobesAchilles]

Once Keldon starts getting calls instead of the rookie treatment, he is going to be a beast. I counted 8 free throws the refs robbed him of.

[Obi Juan Kenobi]

2-0!!!

:flag:

[Degoat]

2-0 boys! Gutsy win

[Dejounte]

My grades:

DeMar - A
Lonnie - B-
Dejounte - C
Aldridge - F
Poetl - D
Mills - B+
Keldon - C
Gay - D
Vassell - B-
Lyles - C (played so little)

[hombre]

The Spurs would have lost this game last year.

[Dennis the Menace]

Ugly, ugly game by KJ. Part of it was the refs but part of it was him. Impressive that he got 15 shots though and Pop allowing it...

Keldon gets whacked every time he goes to the rim. The refs need to call it. Ridiculous

[cd021]

Murray with the quietest triple double of all time...
Though a couple of those assists credited were a bit generous but still, good for him.

[timtonymanu]

I can't stand Vanvleet after he said "Fuck Pop" during the Raptors parade. I'm not even fan of Pop but thought it was a low and a pathetic form of ass kissing for Kawhi. It felt good to get the win against this weasel.

I always thought "Fuck Pop" came from Nephew's lowlife Raymond felton looking broke ass friend, Jeremy Castleberry.
Vanvleet is also a faggot though that acts like he's better than he really is.

[siraulo23]

i'll take the W

Pop played Lyles so he automatically gets a C- grade

[tonight...you]

That offensive foul by Siakam really broke their momentum. Not sure if it's offensive foul though but it was Siakam who forced his way. Was it a bad call? Setting aside biases.
Will always depend on the game, the moment and the place.
And some person's eyeballs that's trying to perceive the right crap at the right moment enough to be right enough to be right in the heat of the moment.

[Chomag]

Keldon gets whacked every time he goes to the rim. The refs need to call it. Ridiculous Yeah, I'm not sure why the refs hate him so much. He doesn't seem to argue much with them and is a respectful dude

Oh come on a player having triple double should at least get a B- rating.

[DAF86]

DeRozan +3 :wow

Game of his life.

[Dejounte]

Oh come on a player having triple double should at least get a B- rating.

The triple double IS impressive but anyone watching the game sees that he could have done a lot better. It's not a knock. Though his second half was way better. He was making layups he would never make last season.

[XDT76]

The Spurs would have lost this game last year.

Agree, they were poor in 4Q last year. At least they showed fight this year.

[tbdog]

A team built around that dude will never come CLOSE to winning anything

You could have said the same thing about Drexler.

[Atl Spur]

Great win! Gutsy........you little haters in here better assess that DeMar trade again:) This dude is official; he commands a double team in the post ......coincidence ? Lol

[siraulo23]

Holy shit, we dodged so many bullets tonight :lol


should have been an L :lol, but hey Derozan made some plays at the end and Lamarcus putback, W is a W

[Mr. Body]

Feel like DDR is on a mission.

[SpurPadre]

The triple double IS impressive but anyone watching the game sees that he could have done a lot better. It's not a knock. Though his second half was way better. He was making layups he would never make last season.

Aldridge's putback alone deserves better than an F.

[Dejounte]

Feel like DDR is on a mission.

I don't think so. It feels like he's having his way with so little effort. He's not even exerting himself too much out there. He's getting his points with ease.

[offset formation]

They lose this game last year by 5+. Instead they win by 5.

Different team. Especially considering they're without a very key piece.

[BillMc]

This game will be good for KJ long term. He'll get used to the punishment and be better for it

[daslicer]

I always thought "Fuck Pop" came from Nephew's lowlife Raymond felton looking broke ass friend, Jeremy Castleberry.
Vanvleet is also a faggot though that acts like he's better than he really is.

Vanvleet also screamed it too from what I recall in the background. Agreed Vanvleet suffers from Draymond syndrome which is a role player that acts like a superstar.

[Biggems]

I have no issues with the refs. both teams were getting away with some physical play. The refs definitely made both teams earn it, and kept the flow of the game going at a decent pace. It was a game of runs, back and forth. It had a playoff type atmosphere about it. Neither team could build and sustain a lead. It wasn't easy, but I don't want every game to be. We need to win tough games like this to build chemistry, character, and confidence. 2-0 is so sweet.

[offset formation]

My grades:

DeMar - A
Lonnie - B-
Dejounte - C
Aldridge - F

Scores are shit. No offense. And for the love of christ, lose the fucking Drew pic.

[Dejounte]

This game will be good for KJ long term. He'll get used to the punishment and be better for it

That dunk he had early in the game was Shaq-like. So ferocious. So much power. He needs to relax a bit though.

[Dejounte]

Scores are shit. No offense. And for the love of christ, lose the fucking Drew pic.

Don't critique without offering your own. That's weak sauce.

[ducks]

Like them Dejounte.
Probably give Lyles a ‘B’ though considering how much he gets crapped on here.
I may even give Keldon a C+ as his consistent effort and toughness got us through some rough stretches defensively.
It would probably look like favouritism coming from you for your boy though. :lol

[Dejounte]

Patty raising his trade value with this game.

[poopbox]

Pop did his best to lose this game but the players wouldn't let him...:cry

People like to think I'm a homer but I play fair and can be honest about who plays bad. It doesn't have to go one way all the time. You can be neutral about something when you don't insert your feelings into it.

[onechance87]

demar keeps playing this....hes gonna get paid no doubt about that

[offset formation]

Don't critique without offering your own. That's weak sauce.

Dejounte just had a triple double. His defense was bad at times but he's growing into a leader. A- to B+
DDR -- A+ though he had a few really bad defensive rotations. Great game. Carried the team.
Mills -- We lose bad without his precise shooting. And he had a couple of big defensive plays. A to A-
Keldon -- Great energy and aggression should get a B every night to start even if you had some bone headed plays.
LMA -- if that's an F game, we watched different games. 6-14 including a hard nosed offensive board or two plus the game winner. 12/6/5/1. C-
Vassell -- ok
Poeltl -- ok
Lyles -- B
Lonnie -- B- to C+

Back to back homie

[Fusternino]

On a Raptors forum right now. For them, Mills is that scrub who always goes off against them only.

LOL.

[BillMc]

Lonnie needs to get better at hitting those open corner threes. Otherwise, I like his improvement.

Maybe you need to understand how I give my grades.

When I gave DJ a C, it means I think he could have had a 20/12/12 game tonight. Not sure if you noticed, but DJ was glued to the bench for long periods at a time. He didn't pick his spots correctly tonight. When I give a C, it's because there's room for improvement.

Same reason I gave Lonnie a C, he could have ended up with 20 points tonight too. He needs to learn how to avoid being called for charges. Keldon drove 10 times more than him yet Lonnie got called twice for charging tonight. How does that make sense?

I don't know how you think LMA did well tonight aside from a couple critical plays. He plays awful defense and looks lazy to get to his man oftentimes. This would be a blowout going our way if we had someone more mobile instead of him.

The rest of your grades are similar to mine.

[Kurgan]

The biggest issue with Demar(besides his defense) has always been his tendency to pass up open threes. If teams leave him open at the arc he has to take the shot. He did that tonight. Hope he plays like this going forward.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Lonnie needs to get better at hitting those open corner threes. Otherwise, I like his improvement.

Yep. Lonnie missed a few open looks. He could have had a monster game, but he’s miles ahead of last year.

Murray's defense was way too shitty to warrant an A.

And Dejounte's right about LMA's F grade. His defense was horrible tonight, among the worst of his career.

[BillMc]

Nice sig pic update, btw. :tu

Just getting everyone into the holiday spirit, my friend.

[tbdog]

You can't give LMA an F. He came up with the game winning play.

[siraulo23]

Boucher was giving the Spurs the business, very impressive outing for him

[PhantomDashCam]

My observations:

- With NO on the road of a b2b, will be interesting to see how many minutes the main guys play.
We don’t have natural matchups for Zion or Ingram and could see the game potentially getting out of hand early.

- For a 2 game sample size, DDR has been a top 10 player. He has had great stretches before but this is the most complete version I’ve seen.

- KJ, DJ and Vassell all contributed to the win in different ways without having to put the ball in the hoop. Great to see and can’t be understated for a winning culture.

- Patty Mills was terrific for the first 3 quarters. Great start to the season for him. His shooting was timely and his shot selection was better than usual.

[tbdog]

In other news, Blake Griffin took 16 threes tonight.

[tim_duncan_fan]

We need a good-sized, defensive power forward who can hit a 3 and a running, rim-protecting big in order to be a competitor.

[Kurgan]

It's too early to tell, but these two games have been much more entertaining than anything the team gave us last year, outside of the bubble. I just want a good product.

[BillMc]

In other news, Blake Griffin took 16 threes tonight.

Today's NBA. Sadly.

[XDT76]

https://twitter.com/RealTomPetrini/status/1343045415323648000?s=19

I agree he could play better thus the B- suggestion. If his rating deserves a C then what else do we expect from him to get an A?

[tim_duncan_fan]

I agree he could play better thus the B- suggestion. If his rating deserves a C then what else do we expect from him to get an A?

2 or 3 made 3s on average.

Rarely getting beat off the dribble or giving up a wide open 3.

[R. DeMurre]

I like Chris Boucher-- I think he has the potential to be a super sub. Great story too-- dropped out of high school to get a job and help support his family, got famous as a Canadian street baller, went to Junior College, then a D2 Community college, transferred to U of Oregon, then G league MVP and DPOY.

Boucher didn't disappoint... 22 pts, 10 rebounds, 7 blocks. A guy to keep an eye on.

[tim_duncan_fan]

No-names and up-and-comers will continue to get their career highs against us because we "help" on defense like 8 yards away from the 3 point line. Just to not stop whoever was attacking the paint anyway lol

[offset formation]

Murray's defense was way too shitty to warrant an A.

And Dejounte's right about LMA's F grade. His defense was horrible tonight, among the worst of his career.

I said A- to B+ and noted his defense myself. But ppl, especially Spurs players, ain't dropping triple dubs very often if you haven't noticed.

His defense was slow tonight but Boucher dropped most of his points on Poeltl tonight, not LMA. LA shot almost 50% (6-14). And if you noticed, Pop took both of them out the final sequence of defensive stops tonight. Thus, given his actual toughness and game winning putback, I think he qualifies for a C-. If not for that final rebound/put back sequence I'd give him a D or D+. But my lord, it seems like neither one of you have seen an actual F game. We had about 70 of them last year from one guy.

[offset formation]

Today's NBA. Sadly.

Yup, I hate it. Much prefer the inside out beautiful game that required skilled big men in the low post.

[Dejounte]

Key stat:

The Raptors played 4 guys with 35+ minutes each and one of those four played 43 minutes (Siakam)

The highest minutes played was DeMar with 36 minutes. The rest of the Spurs didnt play for more than 30 minutes each.

[Degoat]

I’ve been impressed with everybody minus LMA, It’s gonna be interesting to see who loses minutes once DWhite is back

I don't know how good this team will be and their defense is a concern but man, they are fun to watch and have a lot of talent. On top of that, they have a great attitude, are supportive of one another and are saying all the right things. I really like what Murray said postgame about needing to be better on both ends and taking attention away from his triple double in favor of the win. You can tell he wants to be a positive leader and knows he has alot to prove this season. Also, can't wait to get White back to see how better they can be.

What's Nurse bitching about?

He was losing it on the sidelines :lol

Apparently he was still mad about the charge on Siakam...as if he didn't completely lower the shoulder. It doesn't matter if your defender isn't set if you just bowl them over.

Truth.:toast Refs didn't cost them that game. They were hammering KJ with no calls.
