[TDomination]

Go Spurs Go!
2 games above 500 would be nice.

[Darius Bieber]

:flag:

[Robz4000]

McCollum out? Rodney Hood will score 50 today.

[MoSpur02]

Is Bates-Diop ever gonna play? Is he really hurt or getting the DeMarre Carroll treatment?

[Dejounte]

Is Bates-Diop ever gonna play? Is he really hurt or getting the DeMarre Carroll treatment?

He's a 2 way player. He's not getting the DeMarre treatment, he's getting the Eubanks/ Quinndary treatment.

[MoSpur02]

He's a 2 way player. He's not getting the DeMarre treatment, he's getting the Eubanks/ Quinndary treatment.

Ah. He looked good in Minny last season. Figured he would get 8-10 minutes at the SF position

[Degoat]

Any streams?

[gambit1990]

how low is la gonna sign with the blazers in the offseason? two years, $24 million?

how much would they even have to offer?

[timvp]

Got damn Kanter is such a bad defender.

[Dejounte]

Started off with good defense. That's new.

[PhantomDashCam]

So LMA with 7 shots already...
Flow of the game or words to the coaching staff?

[Mugen]

Nice showcase game for LA, hopefully he can stay in POR :lol

[timvp]

So LMA with 7 shots already...
Flow of the game or words to the coaching staff?

Kanter can't guard pick-and-rolls so the Spurs are running pick-and-rolls every time.

[Dejounte]

Will never understand why our players hold up their hands when there's no fouls being called. Usually when they do, there's a late whistle.

[NASpurs]

Fuck here comes Patty.

[NASpurs]

I was kind of happy when I saw Walker on Lillard but then they switched Patty and I was like "oh no".

[NASpurs]

Vassell stripping Lillard :wow

[heyheymymy]

I'm so sick of refs this year that was a 4 point play for anyone else in the league but mills

[szkorhetz]

Fucking Gay and Poetl. I can't believe it

[emanueldavidginobili]

Got to love the Patty on Lillard matchup.

[szkorhetz]

Vasseeel!

[Robz4000]

Early triple double watch for DePression.

[PhantomDashCam]

Poeltl jam!

[timvp]

By far the sharpest DeRozan has been since his return, tbh.

[spurspl]

poeltl with a dunk?? am i dreaming??

[ace3g]

Has Poeltl drank from the cup of Diaw 2.0?

:bobo

[Robz4000]

:lol the fuck was that?!

[spurspl]

mills on fire

[emanueldavidginobili]

Worst fast break team in the league :lol:downspin:

[John B]

Vassell should've not passed that

[John B]

Poeltl is back boys... I hope this continues

[Robz4000]

This team has zero communication on the defensive end.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Remember when a fast break was automatic with Manu and Tony running it ehhhh

[Mugen]

I've never seen a team get on a fastbreak and immediately get worried about not getting into their halfcourt set tbh :lol

[LeBowen]

Turdy Gay getting stripped by Melo. :lol
Melo keeps hitting shots. :rollin

[szkorhetz]

Gay must be traded.

[Mugen]

Nice Rudy Gay post up call out of a timeout. I miss 2009 too :lol

[PhantomDashCam]

Vassell’s ability to cover multiple areas on the floor, anticipate passing lanes...Just wow.

[John B]

great no look pass

[Dejounte]

Finally Rudy geez

[Robz4000]

Really hope Vassell gets some time on Lollard.

[Mugen]

LA + Patty for CJ/Nurk - who says no? :lol

[Sugus]

Any streams?

Gotcha, my guy:

http://givemenbastreams . com/nba/blazers-live-stream

[emanueldavidginobili]

This team looks a lot better when they're running and pushing the pace and not running half court sets constantly.

[Dejounte]

Lonnie having an invisible game thus far. Wake up, guy

[timvp]

Murray with back-to-back assists on three-pointers. His court vision is actively improving :wow

[szkorhetz]

LA + Patty for CJ/Nurk - who says no? :lol
Both teams, TBH. :D

[Sugus]

My despise for Rudy Gay's entire game grows with every minute I have to suffer through watching him, tbh. Where's dem posters defending his washed ass?

[Mugen]

My despise for Rudy Gay's entire game grows with every minute I have to suffer through watching him, tbh. Where's dem posters defending his washed ass?

I haven't liked Rudy's game since UCONN tbh

[Kurgan]

This team looks a lot better when they're running and pushing the pace and not running half court sets constantly.

You can't run with a washed Aldridge. The half court sets are also there to accommodate him and Derozan.

[Mugen]

:lol Sean saying Kirby got everybody involved

[emanueldavidginobili]

Lonnie floating around, call this man a play!

[Sugus]

I haven't liked Rudy's game since UCONN tbh

I liked his game way more when his bonehead offensive plays and defensive lapses benefitted us, instead of the other way around, tbh :lol

[Kurgan]

Derozan has got to be one of the most blocked players in the league

[John B]

Lonnie take care of the ball

[Robz4000]

:lol Sean saying Kirby got everybody involved

:lol glad I wasn't the only one who heard det one

[Dejounte]

Lonnie take care of the ball

Just ran into a wall. Euro step or turn the other direction, Lonnie come on

[John B]

Nice Vassell

[Dejounte]

Vassell is a helluva shooter in uncomfortable situstions

[Mugen]

I'd rather play prime Lebron + Bosh than Rodney Hood + Christian Wood tbh

[John B]

Nice Keldon

[Sugus]

What's maddening about Lonnie and his role on the team, is once again, Pop's unwillingness to adapt or change up things when they clearly aren't working. You saw this dude get back-to-back 20pt games once he was allowed more touches and more of a role on offense - why not try bringing him off the bench for a couple games, take over the bench (instead of the Chucky Mills show every night), and replace him with Vassell in the SL? If all Lonnie's tasked to do is stand on the perimeter and watch DD-LMA two-man-game, that's perfectly something that Vassell could do.

But Vassell is a Rookie™ and Rookies™ don't start, I guess.

[NASpurs]

Vassell should be starting yo

[heyheymymy]

Climb aboard this steady VASSEL

[John B]

Mills was open!

[szkorhetz]

This 1-on-1 offense is making me cry.
Literally unwatchable.

[Mugen]

:lol Demar

[ace3g]

Ugly stretch

Ugly O to end the half, bailed out by a Patty 3.

[Degoat]

For all the hate ST gives him, Patty has been bailing the team out a lot this season lol

[timvp]

About 40 of San Antonio's first half points were scored on Kanter :lol

Pop and the simulator crew are among the worst in the league at recognizing the hot hand. His priorities are:

1. Make the playoffs
2. Get his vets nice contracts next season.

Youngsters have to wait in line for their turn.

[heyheymymy]

Literally just dry heaved at back to back demar TOs

[John B]

Vassell should be starting yo
He would be the best 2way at SG imo. And Lonnie needs touches with the 2nd unit

[8sy21vd]

Can we trade or cut Booty Gay so Vassell can get some more pt? Loving his game.

[spurspl]

cant wait to see keldon and devin takin derozans minutes

[John B]

About 40 of San Antonio's first half points were scored on Kanter :lol
Yup Kanter is pretty slow closing in

The issue with a bench role is that the O goes through Patty and Gay when they enter the game.
To see Lonnie in a situation where he is successful, he needs 1 of 3 things to happen:
An injury to a key player, a trade of either Patty, DDR or Gay; or a trade to a new team. Hope it isn’t the latter.

[Mugen]

The sample size is microscopic but I firmly believe that continued development from DJ/Lonnie/DWhite/Keldon is enough to replace the scoring/playmaking that Derozan currently provides and they'd be much better off in the long run.

The question is whether it can eventually replace the production of Derozan + LMA - not sure on that as they clearly need some type of scoring threat in the frontcourt to balance things out

[JuneJive]

Mills looked pretty decent on D so far.

Active and kind of disruptive.

[John B]

Portland with 10 2nd chance pts.

Add Vassell there too. Given more minutes, this kid can easily 16pts 6 rebounds

[Robz4000]

:lol Kanter

[John B]

Lonnie get beat a lot tbh

[Mugen]

Add Vassell there too. Given more minutes, this kid can easily 16pts 6 rebounds

Too early to extrapolate that statline from what we've seen from him. But agreed that he looks good so far in limited mins without a SL and training camp.

[Sugus]

The issue with a bench role is that the O goes through Patty and Gay when they enter the game.

Yeah, but that's a problem in itself. I don't understand how Pop can see Rudy be such a ball-hog and blackhole on offense, and not say anything to him, or try and change anything up. Taking the ball away from Rudy, and putting it in Lonnie's hands, would be a double-whammy of a win. Makes so much sense that it probably won't happen :lol

:depressed

[Mugen]

Nice D there from Lonnie on Lillard.

[John B]

That should be off Llliard

[NASpurs]

Imagine if Anus Kancer were on our team, that dude would get crucified :lol

[John B]

Let's go Spurs!

[Mugen]

Good focus to start the qtr tbh.

[John B]

Imagine if Anus Kancer were on our team, that dude would get crucified :lol
:lol

[Dejounte]

At least we don't have Kanter. That guy is singlehandedly losing this game for the Blazers.

Lonnie being given some opportunities but he's blowing them so far

[John B]

When Aldridge gets started early, he gets motivated. Or it's just playing against his old team, auditioning

[$pursDynasty]

Imagine if Anus Kancer were on our team, that dude would get crucified :lol
The horror only a masochist could handle it

[Darius Bieber]

Did I hear that right? Aldridge and Poeltl have a combined 0 rebounds? ouch

[Robz4000]

:lol Rodney fucking Hood getting superstar calls

[Dejounte]

How much do these fucking refs get paid????

[John B]

Let's go Kanter!

[Mugen]

My man Robz4000 calling scrub ass Hood going off on us :lol

[AussieFanKurt]

Nice soft finish Aldridge :lol

[John B]

Lonnie is not playing well

[Dejounte]

Lonnie had one guy in front of him and decided to chuck up a 3 wtf

[Mugen]

Just one of them days for Lonnie tbh.

[John B]

Lonnie really needs to be in the 2nd unit where he can get more touches. He seems lost with the starters

[Robz4000]

My man Robz4000 calling scrub ass Hood going off on us :lol

He's just one of those scrubs that routinely uses the Spurs to try to justify his place in the league tbh. Wednesday it's gonna be Kelly Oubre Jr.

[Dejounte]

Lonnie really needs to be in the 2nd unit where he can get more touches. He seems lost with the starters

I think the wrist is more of an issue than we think. Maybe he doesn't want to drive as much so won't use the other hand to dribble

[Sugus]

Lonnie really needs to be in the 2nd unit where he can get more touches. He seems lost with the starters

He's deferring way too much. I actually thought that last play with the pass to LMA was stellar, it just got blocked; but overall, he definitely needs to play with units where he can feel comfortable knowing he's "the guy" and that he's allowed to take those shots.

You truly have to wonder whether Pop's already done irreparable damage to him, tbh. Most players on the team look so scared to take shots for themselves, with the exceptions being the vets, who didn't grow under Pop :lol

[Mugen]

I wouldn't mind moving DV to the SL for Lonnie when Derrick gets back.

Derrick/Fatty/Lonnie/Rudy/Jak ...pretty well balanced bench unit tbh.

[onechance87]

come on lonnie

[NASpurs]

I think the wrist is more of an issue than we think. Maybe he doesn't want to drive as much so won't use the other hand to dribble

Yeah if White was healthy, Lonnie would probably be on the injury list right now.

[Sugus]

Have there been any recent updates on White? We were getting some consistent ones the last time, before each game or after it, but haven't heard anything for like 3 games now.... Get well 5head :cry

[John B]

Just no respect for Lonnie :lol

[Robz4000]

Lonnie is a disaster out there.

[Dejounte]

Is it not DJ's night to handle the ball? I've seen maybe 5 plays where he's handling the ball. Tonight, he's playing more of a 3 and D role.

[Dejounte]

Rudy is so disgustingly bad

[Kurgan]

Vets chucked this lead away - multiple misses from Gay, Aldridge, Mills, and Demar

[spurraider21]

damn, i didnt realize the game was this early. what's been the story so far?

[Dejounte]

damn, i didnt realize the game was this early. what's been the story so far?

Poetl being an absolute BEAST. MVP of the game.

[spurraider21]

Poetl being an absolute BEAST. MVP of the game.
nice

just saw the illegal screen followed by the monster block

[John B]

Why foul? I thought they had 1 to give

[PhantomDashCam]

Vassell’s vision and passing keeps getting better.

[John B]

Poeltl shooting??

[John B]

Yes!

[Kurgan]

Vets continue to chuck the game away. Misses from Gay and Mills. Jakob saving the geezers tonight

Shitting all over ST on this fine day, tbh.

[timvp]

Haven't looked at the stats but my bet is this fivesome (Murray, Mills, Vassell, Gay and Poeltl) has been killing it this season, tbh.

[John B]

https://twitter.com/AirlessJordan/status/1351280403403984899?s=19
He never really had that long player in that position

[spurraider21]

Jakob "better than Andre Drummond" Poeltl playing up to the nickname today :lol

[Dejounte]

Blazers gonna fall off the playoff picture with Kanter as their starting C

Aldridge, Gay for Hood and Covington

[poopbox]

Vassell and Murray footwork on defense is incredibly good. Murray set Melo up to take that wrong foot jumpshot beautifully. Derozan and Gay should have to watch an hour of film on Vassell and Murray footwork on defense everyday

[SpurPadre]

:lol Mills and Gay immediately shitting on me

Don't worry, you'll get to shit on Mills freely on Wednesday when Curry drops 50.

Patty "The Rim Protector" Mills.

Huge block by Vassell!!!

[John B]

How was that a jump?

Vassell might be a future DPOY player. Never seen a rookie so advanced in his timing and footwork on defense

[John B]

And he won it!

[John B]

Alright Pop. Good call pulling Mills and keep the defensive line-up

[Larry O]

Maybe all of the Spurs' games should be played on the road! WOW! What a turnaround from a season or two ago! GSG & get the W!!!

[Mugen]

Damn, maybe Erdoğan was right tbh.

[timvp]

Pop showing confidence in Lonnie by going back to him. Lonnie showing confidence in himself by attacking right away. Good stuff :tu

[John B]

Let's close this with great defensive stand. Keep Vassell on Lilliard

[Sugus]

Rudy Gay is so much better as an offensive piece when he limits his touches and shots to catch-and-shoots, and doesn't try to force things by ISOing plays, it's night and day. Sad that we can't get Roleplayer Rudy every night

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Poeltl's defense has been great. Credit where it's due.

[timvp]

Damn, maybe Erdoğan was right tbh.

Gülen in shambles.

[Mugen]

Watching the Spurs give up double digits in the 4th is usually when the game gets pretty entertaining/hilarious tbh

:corn:

Rudy Gay is so much better as an offensive piece when he limits his touches and shots to catch-and-shoots, and doesn't try to force things by ISOing plays, it's night and day. Sad that we can't get Roleplayer Rudy every night

When he takes 1-3 dribbles instead of 6+ is when he is at his best

[Dex]

This team is so weird.

Try to scrape out wins against the GLeague Rockets...then blow out a fully loaded Blazers squad.

Can we play all our games on the road?

[Sugus]

Pop showing confidence in Lonnie by going back to him. Lonnie showing confidence in himself by attacking right away. Good stuff :tu

Immediately noticed this - was wondering if Pop was gonna put him in the game at all. Hopefully this performance doesn't bring him down too much, shit happens sometimes.

Yep, here comes Lollard.

[Dex]

Fully loaded? No McCollom, Nurkic...

Ah, I just checked in...didn't realize McCollum was out.

Nurkic is pretty much always out so that's a given

[John B]

Pop keeping Poeltl and Vassell out there

[Mr. Body]

Vassell might be a future DPOY player. Never seen a rookie so advanced in his timing and footwork on defense

He started for that block, from the other side of the lane, before Kanter even collected the board.

The Rockets are inspired right now. Teams often are after losing a cancerous player or coach. Rid of Harden, they're playing above their heads, but will fall back down.

[Robz4000]

If I drafted a player in fantasy basketball this year they're having a bad year. Its a rule at this point tbh.

Dejounte with a low key awesome game tbh.

Take it easy Keldon. We've already won the game

[$pursDynasty]

Dijon and Poodle had good games too

Dejounte 1pt 1 rebound shy of a triple double

[$pursDynasty]

No Luka tonight so TimVP won't have to give out any bad grades

[SpurPadre]

This happens and yet an 8 man, tanking Rockets team is made to look like the 96 Bulls. :lol

[ace3g]

Vassell with another rebound!!

[Robz4000]

Only one who actually had a mediocre game was Lonnie tbh. Easy game grades for timvp.

[Dejounte]

Nassir Little... Remember when ST was obsessed over him? Now he's a year or two from being out of the league.

[John B]

Great win :flag::flag::flag:

Nassir Little... Remember when ST was obsessed over him? Now he's a year or two from being out of the league.

The only things I remember about him is most of ST being completely obsessed with him, especially after we passed on him (was it during the Luka draft? :lol), and my guy exstatic being the only one firmly passing on him due to being a cokehead. IDK if that was ever true, but it looks to have been a good choice passing on him lmao

[TDomination]

awesome 4th quarter and great win!

2 games above 500. woohoo

[Mr. Body]

Don't make excuses for the Spurs losing to a G league team tbh.

I've been watching the NBA since the early 90s and haven't just woken from a coma. This shit happens.

[spurraider21]

Nassir Little... Remember when ST was obsessed over him? Now he's a year or two from being out of the league.
yeah, Little and Clarke were the 2 guys ST wanted. Little has not been any good. But it's not like we've seen returns from the guy we took either, so theres that :lol

[RD2191]

A win is a win. And 5th seed? Nice. :flag:

[spurraider21]

I remember a bunch of people whining that they didnt take him instead of KJ :lol
little was taken before KJ

ST wanted him (or Clarke) at 19 over Samanic

He's still better than T-Rex arms Sammich, tbh.

[John B]

If only they can always play this well in the 4th quarter.
Pop leaning on his defensive team the last two games is a pleasant change. I hope it continues

[FkLA]

We're back, boys. Top 4 seed like I said.

Really should be 9-5 if Pop didnt revert back to senile Pop in the first HOU game. Still waiting on White too. :wow:

[KaiRMD1]

That was a refreshing win. I swear i thought the ol sports were going to let off the gas again but nope. Jakob has impressed

[gambit1990]

i didn't know exstatic was a cokehead.
