Game Thread: Spurs @ Pelicans — Dec. 27th, 2020 - 6:00pm/C

[Bojo]

No matter how tonight ends, it's great to see this team not giving up and fighting its way back into this game.
Also, LA's on-off-numbers probably won't look good tonight...

[duncan2k5]

Look man, you're not a bad fucking poster if you just tone your DeMar hating ass down. I know you think he sucks, but you don't have to reply to everyfuckingbody who gives him a slight compliment.

I hear u...but I don't wanna normalize mediocrity...I see us becoming a worse version of Toronto (perennial playoff chokers) if we build around him

[spurraider21]

keldon airballing an open look..

[Dejounte]

That open 3 by Keldon would have been so nice...

[Chomag]

The biggest Difference this team from last year is that they have some fight in them

[Dennis the Menace]

How does Stephen Adams chop his feet while setting a screen, and refs not call a moving screen? LOL

[stephen jackson]

Ingram looks high af

[Uriel]

Whatever happens this game, major props to Jakob, who has played outstanding defense.

[Dejounte]

I hear u...but I don't wanna normalize mediocrity...I see us becoming a worse version of Toronto (perennial playoff chokers) if we build around him

Bro. You can't control mediocrity. Nobody here can. Nobody's happy with losing. You don't need to take it upon yourself to make everybody think the same as you. That's not your job. Everbody realizes the Toronto thing. We don't need to hear it 24/7.

[Dejounte]

BIG SHOT KELDON!!!

[stephen jackson]

Dum ass demar

[SpurPadre]

Goddamnit, DeMar.

[Dejounte]

THESE REFS ARE ATROCIOUS!!! TERRIBLE

[Uriel]

Ugh.

[Robz4000]

DePression rearing his ugly head...

[duncan2k5]

Typical DeMar losing his mind in crunch time

[poopbox]

Refs determined to give the pelicans a W

[duncan2k5]

Typical DeMar losing his mind in crunch time

[BillMc]

DD let's his emotions get the best of him. Has to be calmed by a 2nd year player.

Other than defense that's Demar's biggest weakness

[james evans]

I have no understanding of nba rules at this point in my life. You can dip your shoulder and run a player over and it’s a foul on the player you’re running over. Then you can drive in and jump into the defender for a foul.

[Leetonidas]

Wtf man

[Dejounte]

DeRozan killing us. Damnit

[poopbox]

I'm not going to get mad at Derozan cause that is one of the worst sequences you going to see all year...He got hit in the face...no call...Ingram extends the off arm and it should be an offensive foul...but it's an and 1

[onechance87]

Fuck man....were right there

[SpurPadre]

DeMar giveth and taketh away.

[Uriel]

*sigh*

[duncan2k5]

DD let's his emotions get the best of him. Has to be calmed by a 2nd year player.

Other than defense that's Demar's biggest weakness

Being a mentally weak player and bad at defense are two pretty big weaknesses

[spurraider21]

Refs determined to give the pelicans a W
?

[GAustex]

Max Extension for DDR
Lol

[Uriel]

Just goes to show this game isn't just about athletic ability, but also mental toughness.

[Dejounte]

The team fought back. Not a bad loss.

[duncan2k5]

I'm not going to get mad at Derozan cause that is one of the worst sequences you going to see all year...He got hit in the face...no call...Ingram extends the off arm and it should be an offensive foul...but it's an and 1

He didn't extend his arm...what game were u watching?

[onechance87]

come on demar wtf man

[james evans]

Johnson can’t get a foul call lol

[SpurPadre]

That's game.

[KaiRMD1]

Well at least they fought back from 15, that's a feat in it of itself

[Robz4000]

Just low-IQ play down the stretch.

[Dejounte]

So many missed shots here. We could have gotten it

[timtonymanu]

Pelicans have always been annoying to deal with. Doesn't matter what season, they always get one on us at least.

[Dejounte]

Missed open 3 by Keldon, then a missed one by Rudy

[duncan2k5]

Please take the ball out of DeRozan's hands

[Uriel]

I genuinely believe we would've won this game if not for that 5-point possession.

[stephen jackson]

I don’t see lasharkus on the bench

nm he’s clapping cheering on the boys :toast

[SpurPadre]

Keldon looked sloppy the last couple possessions. Who takes this shot, guys?

[Degoat]

Disappointing game, this loss is on the players tho not Pop he did well with rotations imo

[Darius Bieber]

If we don’t win this one, we may go on a 10+ game losing streak

[Uriel]

The good thing about having a young team is that they play with a lot of energy and always battle no matter the score.

The bad thing is they make a lot of dumb mistakes.

[duncan2k5]

I don’t see lasharkus on the bench

nm he’s clapping cheering on the boys :toast

He probably in the locker room watching old blazers games from when he was still there

[Leetonidas]

That was a pathetic final possession. Embarrassing

[Robz4000]

:lmao DePression seals it

[BWS-1994]

Adams... 0_0

[RD2191]

:lol

[Dejounte]

That was probably the dumbest play I've ever seen by Lonnie. Holy fuck

[Uriel]

:lol Great play Pop. :tu

[timtonymanu]

That's why I'm not so fast to hype Demar just yet. He's still a mental midget. Very damaging stuff when we need a win.

[Mugen]

I'm pretty happy to see a bad Derozan game tbh. They need to be reminded why maxing him after this season is a bad move. :lol

[R. DeMurre]

Whew... that'll slow down the give-DeRozan-the-max talk...

[spurraider21]

:lmao

[Darth_Pelican]

Game should have never been that close. Pels stacked. League fucked.

[Degoat]

That was Lonnie fault guys not Demars lmao

[spurraider21]

why is lonnie driving to the hoop?

[paperboy77]

This is simply a loss. Can't really blame it on anyone. We were competitive and NO seems to always give us a tough game.

But still... why the hell did not LW shoot a relatively open 3?

Oh well. Next.

[onechance87]

terrible

[Bynumite]

Brandon Ingram taking a wet shit all over Fat Antonio :lmao

Imagine passing on this kid for Demar Derozan :lmao

Even Lonzo outplayed the young scrubs on the spurs :lmao

[tim_duncan_fan]

99% of the problem tonight was offense and 99.9% of the problem on offense was the team being too pussy to attack the basket.

So goddamned annoying.

[SpurPadre]

Giving teams second chances off missed free throws continues to be a Spurs specialty.

[8sy21vd]

lol at that final play. White can't come back soon enough

[BillMc]

Well, you play young guys (and DD) and you'll have to accept some mistakes. A learning process.

[phxspurfan]

-RsLzSvLTs8

[Dejounte]

Lonnie had an open lane... Instead passes it to a crowd of Pelicans.... Our dumbest young player by far

[stephen jackson]

Stupid ass play

[Dennis the Menace]

Refs were awful. Shots didn’t fall. Horrible last play design

[duncan2k5]

I'm pretty happy to see a bad Derozan game tbh. They need to be reminded why maxing him after this season is a bad move. :lol

Exactly...very dumb move...at first I thought they did it to trade him, but here we are

[Texas_Ranger]

Lets see how good we ll play against the lakers. I think a long losing streak is coming cause all the teams we play will be very good.

[Mugen]

Thank goodness we didnt trade for that Laker trash (the actual trade was pretty bad too).

But ingram is incredibly overpaid and Lonzo is straight trash. Garbage human beings as well tbh.

[timtonymanu]

Brandon Ingram taking a wet shit all over Fat Antonio :lmao

Imagine passing on this kid for Demar Derozan :lmao

Even Lonzo outplayed the young scrubs on the spurs :lmao

Rent free

[AusSpur]

Demar a team high (or is it low) -18

Been great to start the season but just wasn't his game. Wish Pop could have seen that.

[duncan2k5]

That was Lonnie fault guys not Demars lmao

How was it Lonnie's fault? That was the play pop drew up

[MannyIsGod]

Not even mad. Winnable game, but everything went against them and refs fucked them and they still had a shot. Good learning experience for the youth. Wish Demar was mentally tougher tho.

[daslicer]

THESE REFS ARE ATROCIOUS!!! TERRIBLE

The refs were pure garbage. That 5 point play was a bs sequence of bad calls. BI gets phantom touch fouls when he drives to the paint but when Keldon or any other Spurs drove they didn't get the same type of touch foul calls.

[TimDunkem]

Lonnie not smart.

[GreekSpursfan]

What happened to LA and Demar, i fell asleep and this is what i wake up to.

[phxspurfan]

Well, you play young guys (and DD) and you'll have to accept some mistakes. A learning process.

Pop dodnt have them prepared to execute the final play tbh

[Chomag]

I really hope that wasn't the drawn up play lol

[Dejounte]

I know Lonnie was trying to avoid shooting a 2... But HE COULD HAVE DRIBBLED OUT. Frustrating. Dumb fucking player man

[Bynumite]

The funny part is that, there's actually Fat Antonio fans who think some of the young talent on their team is better than Ingram :lmao

[Degoat]

Difficult loss, still encouraged by the team for the most part. Pelicans suck but at least we can say we’re missing arguably our best player in DWhite

[Darius Bieber]

Unfortunately, the easy part of our schedule is over. The next 10 games or so are almost guaranteed losses until we play OKC

[BillMc]

That was Lonnie fault guys not Demars lmao

True. As I'm sure Pop will point out in the film room.

[boutons_deux]

DDR tech and 2 fouls in crunch time were fatal

[Philthemage]

8 free throws vs 29 for Pels?

[duncan2k5]

Demar a team high (or is it low) -18

Been great to start the season but just wasn't his game. Wish Pop could have seen that.

That's who he has been his entire career...ppl just see the numbers, but don't realize he has very low impact on winning games

[Mugen]

Rent free

Hopefully Kuz and BI meet up in the offseason and pull a Malik Sealy tbh :lol

[daslicer]

Brandon Ingram taking a wet shit all over Fat Antonio :lmao

Imagine passing on this kid for Demar Derozan :lmao

Even Lonzo outplayed the young scrubs on the spurs :lmao

I knew this dumbass would post had the Spurs lost this game.

[RC_Drunkford]

executed it exactly how Pop drew it up :lol

[SpurPadre]

Not even mad. Winnable game, but everything went against them and refs fucked them and they still had a shot. Good learning experience for the youth. Wish Demar was mentally tougher tho.

What's maddening is giving teams second chance opportunities in crunch time.

[MannyIsGod]

Last play wasn't Lonnie's fault. NOLA just defended it perfectly. They were going to give up that Lonnie two and just stayed at the 3 point line. Spurs didn't have any TOs left so no point in taking a 2 with under 4 seconds left on the clock. I'm not going to get pissed off because SVG guessed Pop's play in the 3rd game of the season.

[timtonymanu]

I knew this dumbass would post had the Spurs lost this game.

His real life sucks so he spends all his time on a forum hating on a small market team he thinks is so "irrelevant" lol

[BillMc]

What happened to LA and Demar, i fell asleep and this is what i wake up to.

LA got outdone by Jakob.

DeMar got outdone by DeMar.

[Dejounte]

No timeout and we're down 3. You don't go for 2.

I know he shouldnt go for a 2. He passed it back to a crowd of Pelicans putting DeMar or whoever caught the ball in a bad spot. He could have dribbled it out

[r0drig0lac]

good effort, Aldridge killed the team

[duncan2k5]

Thank goodness we didnt trade for that Laker trash (the actual trade was pretty bad too).

But ingram is incredibly overpaid and Lonzo is straight trash. Garbage human beings as well tbh.

U saying ingram is overpaid while we have DeRozan and Lamarcus is hilarious

[Mugen]

Good loss regardless tbh. Hopefully DWhite is back soon.

[sananspursfan21]

Really winnable game that just didn’t go down. Missed shots and opportunities everywhere. This is a very young team, that’s gonna happen. Demar shouldn’t have gotten that worked up but I really thought in the moment it was an offensive foul too. What can you do

[Emperor]

Definitely a good learning experience for our young guys. Next game against should be fun.

[MannyIsGod]

What's maddening is giving teams second chance opportunities in crunch time.

What do you expect when Rudy is your center against Zion and Stephen Adams? At least this way they defended the PnR way better.

[heyheymymy]

Refs completely changed the course of the game

[gambit1990]

L
called it.

[timtonymanu]

Hopefully Kuz and BI meet up in the offseason and pull a Malik Sealy tbh :lol

Doesn't matter what they do. Bynum will still have the Spurs' dick in his mouth the way he can't stop obsessing over them on a daily basis. :lol

[cd98]

Losing this year is good for next year’s loaded lottery.

[Chinook]

I know Lonnie was trying to avoid shooting a 2... But HE COULD HAVE DRIBBLED OUT. Frustrating. Dumb fucking player man

I think the clock was off. If there were closer to three second left instead of like the six I thought there was, then there wasn't time to dribble it out. I think he panicked for sure once he got the pass inside the arc. But I don't think passing it out was some indefensible zero-IQ move like you're suggesting.

[Dejounte]

Dd got the ball with a lot of time to spare. It wasn't on Lonnie.

DD had like three guys around him when the ball was passed to him. Did you watch the game?

[Gibbz]

Officiating was absolutely biased for a for-sure solid NOP and SA still almost won. 29 FTs to 8 and a garbage 5-point sequence late on what was actually a NOP offensive foul. Bledsoe, Ball, Ingram, Zion, Adams with Redick, Hart, Hayes off the bench is not a shit team at all and I feel like SA struggles in New Orleans even when the Pels aren't any good.

[Chomag]

I don't mind these losses at all because its a learning experience for our youngsters but gawd damn Can we please ,PLEASE get rid of our dead weight!?!

[BillMc]

I miss 2018 LMA.

I miss preseason Devin.

Otherwise, all is normal.

[daslicer]

Refs completely changed the course of the game

Pelicans got a shot in the arm when the refs gave them that bs 5 point play. They pretty much decided they were going to hand the game to the Pelicans.

[Degoat]

That play was obviously drawn up to be a lonnie 3, he F’d by driving. Onto the next one

[timtonymanu]

I miss 2018 LMA.

I miss preseason Devin.

Otherwise, all is normal.

Man LaMarcus can be so draining to watch as a fan. I can feel his exhaustion on the court just by watching him walk on molasses.

[Mugen]

That freebie technical that Demar got would have been nice to get back there at the end tbh, so low IQ at times :lol

[MannyIsGod]

How the fuck do you expect Lonnie to know what to do in a crunch time situation if he's really never been in one? You have to have experiences like that. Its not low IQ. Its a young player undergoing a learning experience. THIS is what needs to happen so that they get better in those situations. Lonnie ran the play as drawn up. Next time maybe he'll go off on his own and do something else, but that was the play as drawn up.

[paperboy77]

Brandon Ingram taking a wet shit all over Fat Antonio :lmao

Imagine passing on this kid for Demar Derozan :lmao

Even Lonzo outplayed the young scrubs on the spurs :lmao

You make it seem like we were the bitch ass Clippers down 50! Fuck the lakers bought ass. There's no OGs on that team. Lebron has always been an Eastern-Conference-hiding-bitch. The first ... non Covid Bubble season the man didn't even sniff the playoffs. Needed the bubble to beat a shitty ass bubble-Miami team. The "brow" is an ugly ass nerd that's not good enough to win on his won so he rides LeBitch.

[Dejounte]

He had time to dribble and pass it off. Wtf are you smoking? :lmao

Again what part of "he was surrounded" are you not understanding?

[Uriel]

Remember those 3 easy dunks we gave Zion because we turned it over on a bad pass? Yeah. Those swung the game too.

[MannyIsGod]

That play was obviously drawn up to be a lonnie 3, he F’d by driving. Onto the next one

Nope. The ball was 100% always going to Demar.

[timtonymanu]

No need to argue with him. His real life sucks, that's why he's here obsessing about another team. I'm sorry life failed him so much, but he can still pretend he won those Lakers rings and works in the front office.

[cjw]

I hate saying good loss, but they could have easily folded when the Pels went on that run early in the third. The team has heart and didn’t wilt on a back to back against a physical team.

Neutral court and one team not more rested and I’ll take the Spurs - good barometer of where they are right now.

Let’s hope White comes back soon as he’d tilt the scale in a game like this.

[Dejounte]

Watch the game retard. :lol

I did, clown.

[onechance87]

We still should of won....Thats what sucks

[tbdog]

Two no calls that felt like it changed the game. Murray got hammered before the 5 point play and reffs didn't call it. Watch the replay.

Johnson driving at the end got hammered by Zeon, no call.

[Mugen]

Again, Jak is a starting center in this league. Sure he's soft at time especially when finishing at the rim but he's solid at everything else offensively and they're better defensively when he's on the court. I really hope they can trade LMA for an asset by the deadline but i doubt it tbh

[tim_duncan_fan]

8 free throws vs 29 for Pels?

You don't get free throws when you are too afraid to take the ball into the paint. It's that simple.

[paperboy77]

That freebie technical that Demar got would have been nice to get back there at the end tbh, so low IQ at times :lol


I don't think you can question DD frustration. The guy never gets fouls called. Some of the contact he gets result in a flagrant foul for others. Not sure if he's on a black balled list or what. That shoulder would be an offensive foul for anyone else. Fuck the pel-refs. Shit I'd be pissed too!

[justinandimcool]

back to back. missed shots in the first half was killer. the comeback was nice to see. oh well! these losses will happen with the youngs playing big minutes. need more from Aldridge and Derozan to steady the ship when things go sloppy. Gay was great in the big brother role

[Darth_Pelican]

The refs were pure garbage. That 5 point play was a bs sequence of bad calls. BI gets phantom touch fouls when he drives to the paint but when Keldon or any other Spurs drove they didn't get the same type of touch foul calls.

And there it is. The point where you know that your team sucks but you’re in denial and you want to blame officiating on the result of the game. Sitting in your parents’s basement screaming conspiracy.

[Degoat]

Nope. The ball was 100% always going to Demar.

Did you even watch the game? :lol Lonnie has played in multiple end of game situations, he messed up. It’s alright we move on to the next game

[Dejounte]

https://twitter.com/TheTyJager/status/1343382700883922944?s=09

If nobody thinks Lonnie did anything wrong, then why the fuck is Lonnie himself upset at what happened?

[Chinook]

btb, I wanted the Spurs to win, but like, it's not the worst thing that they lost. They aren't going to have 72 perfect games from their young guys. I didn't like Pop going small down the stretch. I didn't like him not playing Johnson on Williamson more. But NOP is probably a top-three worst match-up for SA's small lineup, and I thought they held their own. That's not bad.

Though maybe people will start to appreciate why it's not sustainable now. I think Johnson struggled in large part because of the fatigue of guarding Zion. Obviously, that's not every PF, but if he's going to be a big offensive piece this season, he probably can't guard fours full time. Doing it two days in a row seemed to have affected his legs, which in turn removed some of his aggressiveness around the rim and caused him to miss shots he had been making. Still a good game overall.

It's funny how many folks were upset about the Spurs not tanking and not having young pieces but they also expect the young pieces SA has to win games against a solid playoff competitor and get mad when they don't.

[MannyIsGod]

And there it is. The point where you know that your team sucks but you’re in denial and you want to blame officiating on the result of the game. Sitting in your parents’s basement screaming conspiracy.

Refs definitely sucked. The only thing more suspect than the refs are Zion's knees carrying all that weight.

[Dennis the Menace]

5 point plays by the refs and no calls when your team gets hammered in the paint is an uphill battle.

Pop needs to get some T’s early. No national TV games. Let it rip Pop. Make it rain

[BackHome]

Let’s hope White comes back soon as he’d tilt the scale in a game like this.

Could not have said it better.

[Mugen]

I really hope that they diversify the offense a bit more when Derrick gets back. Sure, Demar has been fine in the closer role in the bubble and the first 2 games but they've got capable playmakers, especially when Derrick returns tbh.

Murray had a nice little streak, Lonnie is a good playmaker, etc.....all of that took a backseat when Derozan came back even though he was off most of the night.

[MannyIsGod]

It's funny how many folks were upset about the Spurs not tanking and not having young pieces but they also expect the young pieces SA has to win games against a solid playoff competitor and get mad when they don't.

Fucking this man. Everyone in this place should be pleased with what we just saw.

[Mugen]

And there it is. The point where you know that your team sucks but you’re in denial and you want to blame officiating on the result of the game. Sitting in your parents’s basement screaming conspiracy.

:lol Bruh, your team is gonna be just as shitty as the Spurs this season tbh.

Let’s hope White comes back soon as he’d tilt the scale in a game like this. Yep, last years team would have completely folded up after that NO 3rd quarter run. Even if our vets are checked out the youngsters still have allot of heart and drive in them.

Oh wow, multiple end of game situations? MULTIPLE? Fucking crazy he's not Robert Horry yet then. Yes, bitch, I watched the game, and the play was drawn up to go to Demar and Lonnie ran it as drawn. It was fucking obvious. You seem to be one of the only ones who can't understand this.

[daslicer]

And there it is. The point where you know that your team sucks but you’re in denial and you want to blame officiating on the result of the game. Sitting in your parents’s basement screaming conspiracy.

Prove me wrong that 5 point play wasn't bs? Your team was also a lottery team last year so I don't think you have room to talk about your team being a power house. It was a garbage win by your squad it is what it is. Then again I don't expect white trash like you to understand.

[RD2191]

Why are we blaming the young guys? We lost because of that worthless faggot LMA.

[John B]

Where’s Aldridge?

[Mugen]

Why are we blaming the young guys? We lost because of that worthless faggot LMA.

Also this. :lol

[Chinook]

https://twitter.com/TheTyJager/status/1343382700883922944?s=09

If nobody thinks Lonnie did anything wrong, then why the fuck is Lonnie himself upset at what happened?

First, there's a difference between believing a guy could've played a possession better and freaking out like you are.

Second, he's upset at himself for not winning the game. I think the play was for Walker to come off a curl for a three. He and Gay mistimed the pass, which is why Walker was inside the arc after catching it. He tried to find a way to get a three, and he might've missed an open player (I don't know if someone was). Had the play gone off well, it'd've been an opportunity for him to get some real clout and even more shots at being a closer. Sucks that it didn't work out for him.

[poopbox]

Got Lakers, Lakers, Utah, Lakers, Clippers coming up...

Could easily turn into a 6 game losing streak

[RD2191]

Stop letting them off the hook. DeMar wasn't exactly hogging the ball and there were plenty of lulls where the young guys just wanted to pass the ball to the next guy and shrug their shoulders.

For the playmaking talents that they maybe might possibly have, they were too scared to make the attempt at showing them tonight.

[Darth_Pelican]

Refs definitely sucked. The only thing more suspect than the refs are Zion's knees carrying all that weight.

:lol You’ve been around this site long enough that I respect your input man. I hope you & your family have a happy New Year!

Lonnie should’ve made the layup, then go for a steal and foul.

Lmao :lmao why are you so upset? You Sound like a snowflake, nobody is drawing up a play for Demar to take the 3, Lonnie was the only reliable 3 pointer shooter all night, GD you dumb

[MannyIsGod]

If Spurs wanted to win, Patty would be in. They went with the young guys to help them get close out experience for the playoffs.

That lineup had no pure 3 point shooter. Pop was 100% going for something bigger than the W.

[paperboy77]

Again, Jak is a starting center in this league. Sure he's soft at time especially when finishing at the rim but he's solid at everything else offensively and they're better defensively when he's on the court. I really hope they can trade LMA for an asset by the deadline but i doubt it tbh.

I'm a patient man but LA is well past his welcome. I wouldn't even mind losing a few game showcasing him for some distant promise or whatever. Used to love LA and he did some good shit for us. I truly think Pop fucked up a lot of opportunities with him. Still... it's time to bullshit another team into giving us something of valuefor him. LETS DO IT PATFO! Quit being a bitch and come on!!!!!!!!

[phxspurfan]

loss is on Pop tbh. Bad prep of the boys down the stretch. Couldnt close it out. Theyre not that young, its not alp on youth, its on executing wel drawn up plays and getting stops. The guys have length and speed to get stops and theres no excuse for that abomination of a final play. They need more practice together and better coaching.

[murpjf88]

Steven Adams is Pop's daddy. He's owned the Spurs since 2016.

Gotta be happy with how the team operates when Poeltl's on the floor so far this year.

vs New Orleans: 23 minutes, +15

[Chomag]

Where’s Aldridge? who?

[MannyIsGod]

lol if this is how Spurstalk reacts after a good loss in a year we probably won't make the playoffs then I'd hate to see this place in a real tank.

[Dejounte]

Is Pop realizing that Aldridge is a huge liability on defense?

[timtonymanu]

38 year old Duncan on multiple playoff runs and titles >>>> slow footed, declining 35 year old Aldridge.

I know it's unfair to compare anyone to Tim, but holy shit Aldridge can look like a 40 year old the way he moves on the court.

[DAF86]

B2B on the road, missing our best player, with our veterans sucking, and a historic low number of FT's. It's probably a good sign they lost only by 3, tbh.

[murpjf88]

It was a terrible loss if the Spurs want to entertain thoughts of making the playoffs. This game was very winnable.

[Degoat]

Yeah LMA needs to go, I doubt it happens but geez he’s been terrible

[Darth_Pelican]

Prove me wrong that 5 point play wasn't bs? Your team was also a lottery team last year so I don't think you have room to talk about your team being a power house. It was a garbage win by your squad it is what it is. Then again I don't expect white trash like you to understand.
Calling me white trash really hurt me. I hope your hate filled party loses every challenge and you finally accept that your Orange hero lost. You’re a fucking waste of human space.

[siraulo23]

overall i cant really complain, the young guys are getting minutes and this would have been a blowout loss without a doubt last year

I actually stopped watching the Spurs for a good while because I couldn't stand the way LMA moved out there. His whole fucking pace and style of play is just too exhausting to watch on a regular basis tbh :lol

[Dejounte]

Lonnie Walker: B-. Aside from that blunder at the end of the game, he did good overall. Stayed aggressive and kept shooting even when he was cold

DeMar DeRozan: D. Didn't pick his spots. Had many miscues. Lost his temper during a crucial part of the game.

Dejounte Murray: C-. So many turnovers during the first half. Your signature sloppy game from last season. Hit some big shots down the stretch and secured the ball better in the second half.

Keldon Johnson: C+. He was passive throughout the first half. Finally started making some noise in the second. His drives aren't as good as I know they can be. Something going on with him mentally? Jitters? Made some big shots down the stretch.

LaMarcus Aldridge: D. For a player being paid as much as he is, you can't just show up at the end of games. And he didn't even show up at the end of this one because Pop didn't play him. Such a major liability.

Rudy Gay: B-. Actually did ok defensively and hit some big shots. Tinker in some stupid plays that he's usually known for.

Patty Mills: B-. There was a stretch where he was playing point guard and the offense became discombobulated. He had a few minutes of good play passing to Poetl. He did OK.

Jakob Poetl: B+. One of Poetl's better games. He was a monster on the defensive end, and he was showing some post-up game chops on offense.

Vassell: C-. Hitting the rookie wall early. Not making the defensive impact we're accustomed to. Can't dribble worth a lick.

Lyles: Inc. Hardly played any

[timtonymanu]

The reality is that he won't be useful on back to backs. And he is still getting into shape.

Dejounte Murray: C-. So many turnovers during the first half. Your signature sloppy game from last season. Hit some big shots down the stretch and secured the ball better in the second half.

Calling Aldridge a liability on defense isn't accurate. If you watch the game you will see he defended the paint well. The problem was the Spurs gave up that run not from people scoring on Aldridge but from turnovers leading to easy transition buckets. Now they made a run with him on the bench but to say he was getting abused is false.

Keldon Johnson: C+. He was passive throughout the first half. Finally started making some noise in the second. His drives aren't as good as I know they can be. Something going on with him mentally? Jitters? Made some big shots down the stretch.

All I'm fucking glad about is that Keldon didn't get injured after that fucktard RC_Drunkford (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=53010) said he did

[FkLA]

LMA is a problem. Looks old and is being a little bitch about taking threes because they werent falling the first game and a half of the season.

Yak looks like the better center.

[Darth_Pelican]

I’d die for you tbh.

[barakz21]

Loss is a loss, still. And yet, I think this was a good loss. The youngins had a chance to play late, and they were hanging on all the way to the end. Had any of those shots fallen, they might’ve stolen one. And that’s with Ingram going off and the Pels having like a million FTs.

[RD2191]

I’d die for you tbh.
:jack

[spurs1990]

Definitely not a bad loss. DeRozan and Aldridge had sub par games and still with an earshot from winning on a road b2b. Really only the 5 pt possession kept them from pulling it out.

Plus Derrick White is still on his way back to add to the depth. Promising signs for the season.

[Dejounte]

Keldon pretty much proved he's one of the best athletes in the league with this game.

He didn't get backed down at all by Zion.

In fact, I'd argue he had the better game.

He killed Zion on the defensive end whenever he was assigned to him.

Next test: LeBron

[GAustex]

The 5 pt play was legit. Demar wasn't squared up he was more on guy's side. Pop challenged n it got reviewed in slow motion n still went against us. Then demar fails to block out n almost kills zion...clear foul clear 5pt play...we lucked out they didn't hit him with flagrant to make it even worse n more one sided

Johnson is strong and all, but it's hard to back down shorter players. Johnson was really wedging himself in there, and his lower center of gravity basically made him immovable. That's why Zion kept trying to spin on Johnson -- Keldon was committed to not being bowled over. Once the Spurs started rotating to catch the spin, Williamson didn't have an easy way to score. Dude's gotta be willing/able to shoot over shorter players or else more teams will guard him that way. Johnson is special, but he's not unique.

[PhantomDashCam]

Great fight back at the end of the 3rd, just couldn’t close it out.
My observations:

- Lonnie Dubs. impact over the first 3 games can’t be understated. He has been solid and at times spectacular. Most consistent Spur so far perhaps next to...

- Patty Mills. Best stretch of basketball I’ve seen from him in some time. His playmaking in the 2nd quarter was great to see. I know that’s not his role full time, but makes for a dangerous pairing with D. White when he returns.

- KJ is a bad man. Probably the most fun guy to watch on the team at the moment. When he gets the ball and attacks, 1/2 of the time something good happens. Think he will get that up to about 70% by the end of the year.

[Chinook]

I do think it was a legit call, and DMDR probably wasn't upset with it as much as he was upset with the no-calls on the other side. There were a couple of plays where you could hear skin slapping but no whistle.

[tbdog]

yeah, Murray got smashed under the basket that triggered the fast beak that led to the 5 point play. I really bad no call.

[Ice009]

Aldridge is absolutely putrid. Whoever was saying he's the best player on the team is living in a distant, distant past. Fucking terrible player. I wish the Spurs could have traded him in the off-season. Demar, I was happy with the first two games, but again, he got frustrated and taken out again. Will he ever figure it out? When things aren't going his way, he seems to have this loser mentality out there. He let's it all get to him. He doesn't seem like he has the makeup of a winner (he's the exact opposite of Manu when it comes to a winning mentality).

And there it is. The point where you know that your team sucks but you’re in denial and you want to blame officiating on the result of the game. Sitting in your parents’s basement screaming conspiracy.

To be fair Ingram was getting some Harden-esque calls throughout the game. Spurs blew it due to low-IQ play from their supposed leader however.

Darn man, that game fucking sucked. I was going for the Saints as I have been a huge Drew Brees fan ever since he got to New Orleans. I also don't mind the Saints as a team as I was a Rams fan back in the day (Prime Marshall Faulk was probably my favourite player ever, he was just soo smart and skilled out there, and Kurt Warner maybe next, or Drew Brees I'd have as my second or third favourite player), and the Saints beat us fair and square in the playoffs one year were Kurt broke his hand and missed half the season, but came back. The Saints played a hard, tough, physical game. I loved that Rams team, but Mike Martz fucked it all up by being supremely arrogant not caring about turnovers and not focusing on having at least a good defense. I loved the balance they had that year with Dick Vermeil as head coach as he called a lot more running plays for Marshall Faulk and balanced the passing out with a good running game. Needless to say, I do not go for the Rams anymore since they moved to LA and stopped following them when Mike Martz started screwing up the team. I actually became a fan on them the first season they moved to St. Louis as I liked Isaac Bruce's game.

Anyway, that game fucking sucked and I was mad as shit that New Orleans lost. They really should have been in the superbowl that year and Drew Brees should have had a legit chance to win another ring.

[XDT76]

Murray with 6 turnovers did not help.

To be fair this is the first time he is guarded by someone longer than him with some athletic help, it will be a good learning experience for him.

I think Ingram was just too big for Lonnie. Ideally that should’ve been Keldon on Ingram and get him out of his game with his peskiness. But Keldon was already doingba great job on Zion. Maybe Pop could’ve used Diop or Eubanks on him.

5 point plays by the refs and no calls when your team gets hammered in the paint is an uphill battle.

That was a good call by the ref... DeMar undercut zion...he also lost his mind and deserved the tech, he also was rightfully called for a blocking foul...ingram didn't extend his arm...watch the replay...

I don't see it. He wasn't wedging himself like Chuck Hayes would. His feet were constantly moving while defending him. I'll dig up more defensive possessions later.

That's an atypical possession. You obviously don't wedge yourself into a person facing you up. That'll just lead to a foul call. I'm talking about when Williams tried to post Johnson up (which was by far the most common way Zion operated). Keldon basically locked himself in, full arm bar and wide base, behind Zion. Williamson couldn't back him down then and tried to spin around him to get to the bucket. That worked somewhat, but Poeltl, Gay and even Aldridge to an extent would immediately drop to wall Zion off once he'd committed to a direction. It was a very good gameplan against Zion at this point in his career. But in like a seven-game series, Keldon would fall apart. His legs would be gone after the first few games

The Way the game went, it could easily have been a W. Let Keldon and Gay hit their open 3 Pointers and the Spurs win. Far away from the clear L you were talking about.

[paperboy77]

I said Pop screwed up with him. Part of a player being the best version of himself has quite a bit to do with how the coach decides to coach him. Pop could have put his foot down and made him Option 1B or 2 while still maximizing what he's good at. The HC just let him do all this crap you're talking about.

[John B]

What good did he do for us? Pout about touches, demanded a trade, then continued to pout and publicly state how much he wants to play for another team?
He was a winning shot just two games ago. He needs to be fed in the post and get him started early. Murray doesn’t do a good job facilitating when Aldridge gets to touch the ball and gets him involved. I’m not a big fan of Aldridge but we need him to score high teens and grab 8+ rebounds.

Sure, they didn't deserve James or Davis wanting to play with them, the same way they've never really deserved it, but they did pay a fair price for Davis and had to overcome some significant holes to win.

Granted, it was lucky that the Clippers/Bucks were out of the way and the Heat injured (they wouldn't have beaten them anyway), but that often factors in. What Scumbag pulled is in its own category.
