Best of Luck and GSG!

[Darius Bieber]

Just FYI, the Grizzlies are 0-4 since buttfucking us twice in a row. Dallas was on a six game losing streak after blowing us out. I see a trend here.

Spurs might be the weirdest team in the league in the sense they are capable of beating anybody on a given night but also losing to anybody on a given night.

[Dejounte]

Don't want to get my hopes up for this game, but would love it if we won.

[ace3g]

Draymond is ? with knee injury.

[daslicer]

Draymond is ? with knee injury.

That sucks I was hoping he would play since his defense is garbage.

Just enjoy the journey my friend. This team has been much more fun to watch, win, or lose than the previous few years and that, in and of itself should be appreciated.

DO IT AGAIN :downspin:

[lefty20]

So Vassell starting?

[NASpurs]

maybe Vassell

Vassell makes too much sense so of course Patty is going to start.

[BillMc]

Devin!:hungry:

[JPB]

Spurs youth might take the B2B better than the older and/or formerly injured Dubs.

[Degoat]

I’ll be really surprised if pop gives Devin the start, I wish he would but I bet he goes Patty or Trey

[Larry O]

Vassell makes too much sense so of course Patty is going to start.

Hmmm... LW4 can run some PG with the 2nd unit, but Patty makes sense to continue with the 2nd unit as the PG. DDR's minutes usually staggers into the 2nd unit, so there are, in a sense, 3 ball handlers when most of the 2nd unit gets on the floor, especially if Walker is a go coming off the bench tonight. We may also see Lyles, either with the starting lineup, or with the 2nd unit, and have Vassell as a starter! That would be nice with some added defense! He's earned it! But either way, let's get the W and GSG!!!

[exstatic]

I’d love it if Devin started. It would replace Whites defense.

[mo7888]

Devin should be the starter... I think it'll be good for Lonnie playing with the 2nd unit without DDR on the floor as well.

[Dejounte]

Have White come off the bench. Let's keep this lineup.

[Mugen]

Somebody check on the old man, starting DV makes too much sense that I can't believe it's happening.

[PhantomDashCam]

Awesome. No complaints here if at some stage this becomes a full time gig for Vassell.

[Chinook]

Pop's trying to save Walker's ego? I wonder if Lonnie could end up getting traded away this season. Like, not because SA wants something, but because he asks for it.

I'm going to be interested to see if Walker's on-offs improve as a bench player though.

[TimDunkem]

Vassell starting is the best news al year :tu

I know it's just me, but it looks like he's watching and wanting them to go in, rather than just shooting them and warming up his form.

Murray looks really confident out there. Making plenty of us happily eat crowd tbh

[Robz4000]

Murray playing well again. If he can figure out how to play like this consistently NBA = F:lolcked.

Yes he currently does not exist.

[PhantomDashCam]

Blocks by P and V.
Not trying to be smutty.

[BatManu20]

Poeltl is just a foul machine.

[PhantomDashCam]

That’s a T for anybody else. Draymond, still thinks he’s a HOF.

[Robz4000]

Yes he currently does not exist.

He'll exist once he's in NBA shape tbh. Current Murray may not even exist in a few mins.

[r0drig0lac]

He'll exist once he's in NBA shape tbh. Current Murray may not even exist in a few mins.

there are some guys here hoping for this

[Fusternino]

What is Oberto saying?

[stephen jackson]

He'll exist once he's in NBA shape tbh. Current Murray may not even exist in a few mins.
Hopefully they both can exist for our sake

[TimDunkem]

So cringe. Cut the interview and start it when the audio is fixed.

Fucking amatuers.

[stephen jackson]

Fab was very good in his day

[Mugen]

:lol Oberto on mute for the entire interview. Gotta leave that San Antonio production quality.

[Dex]

What is Oberto saying?

No idea, I have no audio from him on my side...yet they are dragging this interview out

Super awkward

[NASpurs]

Stop fouling ffs

[r0drig0lac]

Lyles!!

[TimDunkem]

:lol Oberto on mute for the entire interview. Gotta leave that San Antonio production quality.

They've always been behind the curve and generally subpar but this is amateur hour right here. Just cut the interview, fix the audio, get him back on....sheesh

[PhantomDashCam]

Steph...Just wow.

[Robz4000]

This unit is ass.

[stephen jackson]

Lonnie confidence is shot.

[TimDunkem]

Pop is a master of finding the absolute worst lineups.

[NASpurs]

The defense from the bench is just fucking abysmal

[poopbox]

A game like this Patty should only play when steph is not on the floor cause its instant points when patty gets near him

[onechance87]

lonnie is useless

[Mugen]

:lol Not sure if Lyles is the rim protector we need right now tbh.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Eubanks?

[PhantomDashCam]

Trey Lyles doing his best LMA defensive impression.

[Robz4000]

:lol Spurs were in firm control of things until Pop put in that lineup to give the Dubs all the momentum

[ace3g]

Can't watch game but game cast tells me Spurs lost momentum...

lonnie is bad on defense. SMH

[NASpurs]

When I saw Gay instead of Eubanks coming in for Poeltl, I knew the Warriors were going to make a run.

[BillMc]

I'm not sure what to do with Lonnie if he can't play d and can't be an offensive sparkplug off the bench.

[NASpurs]

Patty, Lonnie, DDR, Gay and Lyles... wtf did you expect was going to happen

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Oberto was talking about announcing for the G-league team and how he got into announcing games.

audio worked fine for me.

[BatManu20]

Curry on pace for 50. Warriors getting wide open looks from 3 again tonight. Gotta pick up the D considerably if we wanna win this one.

[r0drig0lac]

Patty running the point? lol Pop

[Mugen]

I know it's a b2b but there's no excuse for playing Lyles and Eubanks together :lol

[stephen jackson]

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

I like that Vassell is getting more minutes so far. I thought for sure Pop wouldn’t be able to help himself and over play the poor defenders.

[PhantomDashCam]

Vassell's rebounding continues to impress me.

Like his defence, uncanny knack to be in the right position a high % of the time. His bball IQ shining through.

[james evans]

That was the best move I’ve ever seen Lyles do.

[BillMc]

I like that Vassell is getting more minutes so far. I thought for sure Pop wouldn’t be able to help himself and over play the poor defenders.

Agreed. And with White being brittle and Lonnie useless I think he'll eventually be there permanently

[Mugen]

but he's the one we deserve

:lol

[spurraider21]

think Lonnie's been over-coached. he's overthinking everything because he's used to pop yanking him for every slip up (when he'd get subbed out for Forbes who was always on a long leash)

[PhantomDashCam]

Man I worry about Lonnie’s confidence.

[stephen jackson]

Wtf is lyles doing can’t defend for shit

[NASpurs]

Lonnie is broken and this lineup to end the quarter is borderline retardation.

[Robz4000]

This game is gonna come down to Poeltl avoiding foul trouble in the second half.

[r0drig0lac]

what a pass by Curry

Lyles playing like he know he going to be out of the league next year

you ain’t never lied. Dude playing hard and hustling his ass off.

he knows the writing is on the wall. He wasn’t getting minutes before the injuries and a lot of teams were not looking to trade for him before we did.

[Blackhaus]

Lonnie and Luka, so much potential but so little back bone and drive. Smdh

[SpurPadre]

Tough to get any separation against this team.

[onechance87]

think Lonnie's been over-coached. he's overthinking everything because he's used to pop yanking him for every slip up (when he'd get subbed out for Forbes who was always on a long leash)

Stop the excuses ,Lonnie just not that good

[FkLA]

Lonnie is such a soft bitch. Trade him while he still has value. He's too small anyways.

[RD2191]

What's with the Lonnie hate? Dude is 22 years old.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Lonnie just has bad basketball IQ

dude ball watches worse than Keldon and Keldon hasn’t been in the NBA as long as Lonnie. Not to mention his timidity on offense which once again a guy like Vassell and Keldon are the opposite of.

just watching how free and aggressive guys younger and newer to the NBA are tells me all I need to know. This shit isn’t on Pop. It saddens me to say this is all on Lonnie.

[boutons_deux]

Tough to get any separation against this team.

Spurs ain't going to separate from anybody shooting 38%

[Blackhaus]

Package Lonnie with LA now!

[SpurPadre]

Spurs ain't going to separate from anybody shooting 38%

True and you can't expect to have a lead when Lyles is your leading scorer.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Stop the excuses ,Lonnie just not that good

sadly I’m coming to that conclusion also.

He was the guy I thought had the best chance out of the young guys to become a star due to his physical gifts and beautiful shooting stroke but the young man just doesn’t have the basketball IQ and intestinal fortitude to be a star.

he is still young and can turn it around though

[FkLA]

What's with the Lonnie hate? Dude is 22 years old.

He's a soft pussy.

[onechance87]

What's with the Lonnie hate? Dude is 22 years old.

We just have high hopes for him..But still cant figure it out..Dude been in the nba in a few years and still looks lost

I think Lonnie’s issue is that he needs the ball in his hand (much higher usage) to play the game he wants too. Problem is that is not going to happen. Lol. He’s probably a high usage, rhythm, iso player and we are just not that kind of team, tbh. He better learn how to be effective in spots or he is not gonna make it.

[Seventyniner]

Did Murray just reverse nutmeg Curry from 25 feet away?

Curry is surrounded by so much trash on his team.

he is better with the ball in his hands but it isn’t like he is the best at breaking down defenders off the dribble and he isn’t a great passer or finisher also. Lmao.

he has poor basketball IQ and that’s the real issue.

I mean he doesn’t move well off ball on offense, he constantly loses his man off ball on defense. He isn’t dynamic with the ball on offense and he isn’t a good defender on the ball. Lmao.

Keldon has fallen off a cliff lately. He’s young, so a slump was bound to come but he looks all out of sorts.

Good points. Can’t argue with any of that. BBIQ is objectively low at this point. His defense should be better than it is with all that athleticism as well. His shooting stroke is his redeeming quality. He better start putting it to better use or the other young lions are gonna pass him up.

[PhantomDashCam]

Shooting 35% atm. Need a spark. Dunk, block, and-1 etc. Team looks gassed.

Lonnie's not looking much better than 2020 Belinelli tbh

[YoungbuckMurray]

D sucks and the O is even worse

[Dex]

Again, someone convince me that Walker is going to be a star player.

I see a guy who doesn't know what to do and when to do it.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Good points. Can’t argue with any of that. BBIQ is objectively low at this point. His defense should be better than it is with all that athleticism as well. His shooting stroke is his redeeming quality. He better start putting it to better use or the other young lions are gonna pass him up.


honestly they already have. I mean they seem to be comfortable in their own skin and they are aggressive and earned their respect from Pop quicker than Lonnie did.

[FkLA]

Holy shit Lonnie is horrible.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Wtf was that Rudy. Trash vets suck

The Dubs are a matchup nightmare for us. They build up big leads against us so easily. We just can't keep up with their firepower.

[Chomag]

We getting taught a lesson my friends. We can't even n sugar coat that we are having our asses kicked

[Capt Bringdown]

Keldon has fallen off a cliff lately. He’s young, so a slump was bound to come but he looks all out of sorts.

Yeah, he's really come undone. Very disappointing.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Rudy has the worse shot selection on the team. He hits some crazy shots and he isn’t afraid to take them though. You always need a guy who is irrationally confident on offense.

Get this to 10 by 6 min mark. Could still be a game.

[Dverde]

Air ball on a wide open heave... pathetic stuff by Walker.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Pop shouldn’t fuck around and put in the starting unit to start this quarter

[FkLA]

Yeah, he's really come undone. Very disappointing.

Its expected. He wasnt going to be able to just big body his way through everyone forever. It doesn't help that his 3 stopped falling and he's hesitant to shoot it now. He'll adjust/add more to his game. I'm not worried, he's still a dog. All part of his evolution, imo.

[ace3g]

Spurs need to cut this to 10 or less by the 6 minute mark or throw white towel.

[Capt Bringdown]

No Spur starter showed up to compete tonight. Ya gotta wonder about Pop's built-in excuses about back-to-back games.

DeMar has taken a backseat this game. He is now 4/11 for 12/3/6...not great, but he hasn't been the issue. People bitch when he takes all the shots, but also bitch when he defers.

Meanwhile, Pop is obviously letting the young guns try to run the show...and Murray/Johnson/Walker/Vassell are a combined 11/36. The Spurs have cleared the bench with 3 minutes left

But yeah, let's just trade all of our vets and let these kids take over because obviously DeMar is the one holding them back

[Capt Bringdown]

Both games would have been GS blowouts if Wiseman wasn't injured.

Because DeRozan doesn't do anything other than keep us in mediocrity. You trade DeRozan and (a) either the young guys take a step forward, or (b) we tank properly. Win/win, tbh.

[Dejounte]

Notes:

-Keldon's hit the wall. He's got a lot to work on this summer. I still believe in his potential just because he's got the hard part down (tenacity and athleticism).
-Lonnie giving a big fat nothing per usual. I've almost lost all hope in him. Time to try Q for those minutes?
-Typical ST move would be to bash DJ tonight. He wasn't the primary problem today.
-Give the Warriors their due. They may have some scrubs, but they're backed by a legendary player of all time.

Man what an ugly game. How much popcorn did they eat before the game. Nobody can hang onto the ball

Spurs offensive spacing has been off with the starting five for sure.. dubs not respecting Demar or Keldons shot
from outside so hanging back clogging lane. Obviously Jacob also a non factor.

[SpurSpike]

On the bright side Lyles is looking good. I like this aggressive version of him.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Sean got me laughing.

he said he doesn’t understand why players get out their shooting slump against our team. LMAO

our defense is atrocious that’s why. Dudes get wide open looks.

[QUOTE=Dejounte;10429312]We're not as bad as the blow out indicates. These are more common when teams have shooters from all positions and can kill you 3 after 3. Today's NBA.[/QUOTE

Shooting 36% at home is bad against any team
I

Our guys need to go back to practice. Vassell and White (yes, White) are the only two I really trust with their shot. Murray's getting up there too, but we don't need him to have that role-- he needs to constantly attack.

Easy to get out of a shooting slump from the paint. F'n layup drill for GS.

[spurs1990]

They need more 3pt shooters. Mills and Gay can't be the only players willing to take 5 3s in a game. Should start with #10 who needs to channel his Toronto days and start launching them

Lyles has quietly and slowly been redeeming himself the last few games.

[QUOTE=boutons_deux;10429320]

Our guys need to go back to practice. Vassell and White (yes, White) are the only two I really trust with their shot. Murray's getting up there too, but we don't need him to have that role-- he needs to constantly attack.


Mills is the best shooter on the team and you pick those 2 and don’t mention him? Or you’re talking about the best shooters out of the younger players?

In the Second Game of a Back-to-Back this season, the Spurs are only scoring 96.5 points in the four games they've had

They need more 3pt shooters. Mills and Gay can't be the only players willing to take 5 3s in a game. Should start with #10 who needs to channel his Toronto days and start launching them


Bryn Forbes. LMAO.

No, but seriously... they need more two-way players. I hesitate to say they need 3 pt shooters anymore. We need to get away from 1 dimensional guys like we have been these past couple years.

Up that trade value, baby.

[PhantomDashCam]

Obviously not our best effort.
Not sure you can draw too many conclusions from tonight’s game.

My observations:

- Rudy Gays shot is starting to come around. Of all the expiring contracts, this version of Rudy Gay is probably most desirable/most likely to be moved at the deadline. Again, the Spurs probably stand pat but a contender such as Boston, Philly would surely have at least an inquiry to his availability.

- Trey Lyles brought some juice. Tease or turning the corner? Has some useful attributes. Defence on the interior was a concern so unlikely he could ever play the 5 which limits his ceiling. Situationally (and if a Gay trade ever occurred), he could be helpful in certain lineups.

- Steph Curry’s consistency. He makes 2-3 plays a game that continue to dazzle. Say what you will about his team, the KD situation etc. but this guy is amazing. Will never be another like him. He makes the game easier for everyone.

The Dubs are simply better than us no matter how you slice it. In today's game, you simply have to be ready to shoot and play the 3 ball in every game. This Spurs team isn't built to do that consistently and that lends itself to these blowouts.

Nope, you can't.

The Pistons beat the Nets tonight. Do people really believe the Pistons are better than the Nets? (even without Durant)

The Kings are up 6 over Philly, and they might win. They're on a hot streak, but at the end of the day are they better than Philly?

Today's NBA.

[The Truth #6]

Up that trade value, baby.

Sure! I could see him being thrown in with DD to match salary in that theoretical world.

[SpurPadre]

DeMar has taken a backseat this game. He is now 4/11 for 12/3/6...not great, but he hasn't been the issue. People bitch when he takes all the shots, but also bitch when he defers.

Meanwhile, Pop is obviously letting the young guns try to run the show...and Murray/Johnson/Walker/Vassell are a combined 11/36. The Spurs have cleared the bench with 3 minutes left

But yeah, let's just trade all of our vets and let these kids take over because obviously DeMar is the one holding them back

No, people want to trade the vets so we can improve our chances at a lottery pick and a much-needed chance at a potential superstar.

You can say "Today's NBA" about our wins vs. the Nuggets, Clips and Lakers too. Can't have it both ways. I just don't think we have enough firepower to be a consistent threat in today's NBA. Is it unreasonable to have those doubts?

It's fine and dandy for you to have your doubts lmao I'm not a thought police. I'm just trying to be the voice of reason / perspective amidst all the whining and chicken littles. To your point though, we don't play like those modern teams. So I wouldn't go as far to say that the wins were as fluky as other games.
