Jesus Christ, please stagger either White or Murray at all times instead of shoving two below average defenders in Patty and Lonnie at the same time.

What a bad quarter by Mills, Turnover then airball plus no D.

[LeBowen]

If only there was a way to switch Lonnie's and Patty's confidence.

[Biggems]

shitty end of the 1st quarter.

Poetl is killing it on D. He is making a strong case for Defensive Player of the Year.

[Barfunk]

Pop won't allow this team to go on any meaningful winning streaks. It's just too disrespectful to the opposing teams that are trying to win as well.

[NASpurs]

You would think Vassell would had been the one guarding Rozier.

[NASpurs]

Pop won't allow this team to go on any meaningful winning streaks. It's just too disrespectful to the opposing teams that are trying to win as well.

Borego is on the other side so Pop likes to bend down and take one for the sake of old friends.

[RC_Drunkford]

here's the perfect example for all you dumbasses who think Jakob Turtle's offense is not an issue. Everytime one of our players drives, the Hornets defense collapses cause they know none of our starters can shoot the 3. Having a stretch big out there would open up the driving lanes, but this way the paint is clogged.

So basically Aldridge opens up the offense, but turns the defense into shit while Poeltl does the exact opposite.

[J_Paco]

You would think Vassell would had been the one guarding Rozier.

Yeah, White, Murray and Vassell should definitely be rotating on him the rest of the night.

Dog shit effort on defense and nothing was falling for the Spurs.

Gotta hope for a better effort on defense and better shot selection/attacking the rim on offense.

[stephen jackson]

Better lineup maybe pop isn’t senile

[J_Paco]

Back down to single digits. Keep up that effort on both ends, now!

[Barfunk]

Borego is on the other side so Pop likes to bend down and take one for the sake of old friends.

Wish we had the old Pop back, who wasn't afraid to go for the throat, even if it was his long time mentor.

I'll take Poeltl's shortcomings on offense if it means he plays defense like this.

[Robz4000]

Oh hey, Murray and White come back in and the Spurs cut the lead in half. Strange how that works.

[stephen jackson]

No complaints about purtle here

[PhantomDashCam]

Nice run to start the second. The second unit was anchored by Poeltl defensively earlier in season, hate to think what happens if it’s Aldridge in that role...

That's not Poeltl's fault though. If LMA plays this team doesn't score 100 points while giving up 130. I've been on the Spurs' poor 3-pt offense/defense all season tbh; it sucks but it is what it is. At least Poeltl playing elite D helps cover their shortcomings.

it's really weird that most people here don't seem to understand spacing. Pulling the big man out the paint to get easy drives to the basket is some shit you even do in 3-on-3 street ball games. With all 4 perimeter players being drivers you need a stretch big to optimize the offense. Yes Aldridge ain't the one cause he gives up way too much on D, but it's a fact that we need a player like that in the starting line up to optimize the team's ceiling. Poeltl fits better with the bench, where he's surrounded by shooters. If you want to start Jakob you can't play him with none 3-point shooters like Keldon and DeMar

[PhantomDashCam]

Great pass Lonnie

[Robz4000]

:cry Spurs have the lead

[stephen jackson]

Shit line up in to give up ten point lead . Jakob help us

Don't disagree at all, but they don't have that player right now. Hopefully they get one soon but in the meantime Poeltl starting is fine. Hell, I'd rather see them switch out DePression for a shooter and let Murray/White run the show.

[stephen jackson]

2nd turnover by 50 Mills in the own half court

[LeBowen]

Would be up double digits if not for Patty, tbh.

[r0drig0lac]

47 in 12min Jesus

[lonrot]

Patty:bang

[Robz4000]

Should be up 10 if not for poor rebounding/decision-making at the end there.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Ending quarters with both DJ and Derrick on the bench and not having at least one of them out there to close the quarter is ridiculous.

[PhantomDashCam]

Devonte Graham lucky KJ didn’t put him in the ring as well :lol

[NASpurs]

47 points in the second quarter?! WTF

[J_Paco]

Should be up 10 if not for poor rebounding/decision-making at the end there.
Lead is a lead.

More of the 2nd quarter, less of the 1st......

Lonnie was great in that 2nd quarter. The kid is such a tease when he shows you flashes of his entire skillset, man.

[NASpurs]

Patty has been playing well for the Hornets tonight.

[BillMc]

Lonnie looks better, more aware

[duncan2150]

Good second quarter by lonnie, he could be something off the bench.

[J_Paco]

Good second quarter by lonnie, he could be something off the bench.

Consistency, aggressiveness and better "awareness" is what he's lacking. Kid is oozing talent but it's up to him to unlock it.

And I think coming off the bench with less pressure to perform can do nothing but help.....

Murray and White saving the day. Keldon with some great hustle plays. Mills with some dumbass turnovers. Lonnie with 2 no-look assists off the bench. First quarter was garbage, 2nd quarter great

[J_Paco]

Missed the first half. How we doing, boys?

Defense was dogshit in the first quarter and team was missing badly. Got extremely hot on offense in the 2nd quarter and defense stepped up.

Good, fun, entertaining game so far.

The Hornets are practically a mirror image of our current Spurs squad too. That can be taken as a bad thing or a positive.

[Dejounte]

The offense doesn't flow through Poeltl, so surrounding him with shooters doesn't make sense. I could see if he was the Jokic type and capable of forcing defenses to collapse, but that's not his game.

[RC_Drunkford]

Holy shit. Those contracts to Murray & White are looking like steals.

[J_Paco]

Lack of three - point shooting is definitely hurting, right now.

That, Charlotte's ability to hit three's and Terry Rozier being on fire are keeping them in it.

[RC_Drunkford]

White 30.6%
Murray 33.3%
DeRozan 33.3%
Keldon 32.5%

from 3. This will be a huge issue going forward. It won't work long term

[Dejounte]

so surrounding him with drivers who can't shoot 3s is better?

This whole "they can't shoot 3s" thing is becoming a myth. I almost entirely trust any of those guys to make a 3 when open. Each of them are 3 point threats. They may not be sharpshooters, but opposing teams still run the perimeter and respect their shots. There isn't Rondo level disrespect for any of them.

[RC_Drunkford]

If he set good screens that help the perimeter players drive, then why not? His screens also brings the defending big to the perimeter, having a similar affect to having a stretch big.

It's not about them being guarded. It's about them punishing the defense for giving up open 3 point shots. You know the type of shots that all those teams always hit against us.

[BillMc]

Is Devin playing tonight?

[PhantomDashCam]

Lonnie’s been solid tonight since his second stint late in the second. The ideal situation for the Spurs would be he takes Patty Mills role by the off season. Long ways to go though...

[bbarry]

Is there a team worse than the Spurs at hitting open 3's? It's really hard to watch.

[RC_Drunkford]

If he set good screens that help the perimeter players drive, then why not? His screens also brings the defending big to the perimeter, having a similar affect to having a stretch big.

study spacing. Then get back to me when you understand it

[Robz4000]

nah, Mills, Gay, Walker and Vassell are shooters. White, Murray, DeRozan and Keldon ain't

Walker and Gay aren't pure shooters like Mills. They're more in the mold of scorers. Vassell should prolly be starting in place of White or Murray, but if starting Murray/White alongside Poeltl creates an elite defensive SL it's hard to break them up.

[Dejounte]

Rozier is a fucking beast

[RC_Drunkford]

I'm confident White can hit 3s consistently, but if he doesn't than Pop will have to start Lonnie again

percentages my friend. Look them up on this website called basketball reference and you will understand my point. There is no point in running out an elite defensive starting line up when no one can hit outside shots consistently. Hitting shots allows you to set your defense

Bruh there's a lot more variables at hand than you think there is. You don't have to be so rigid in your thinking. It's not a case of "no X = failure" or "no Y = success". If it was, then everybody could be an NBA coach and we wouldn't be 15-11 right now.

how many times did we roll out this starting line up? This is like the 3rd game of them starting together. Once teams get some tape to properly scout this line up they will be in trouble unless White comes around and finds his 3-point shot

[Robz4000]

percentages my friend. Look them up on this website called basketball reference and you will understand my point. There is no point in running out an elite defensive starting line up when no one can hit outside shots consistently. Hitting shots allows you to set your defense

Bruh, percentages are meaningless in this situation. They shoot at a high level off the bench because it's free-flowing and in Gay's case he's the focal point. Put them in the SL as spot-up shooters and they don't do nearly as well. We've already seen Lonnie suck as a starter because he defers to DePression/Murray. Mills would fit with the SL but then it'd be like last year with Forbes starting.

[stephen jackson]

For a team that can’t shoot threes we score a lot

[NASpurs]

Lonnie's just teasing us. Come on bro

[PhantomDashCam]

Good D by Demar there to close the Q.
DJ and White are getting a tonne of open looks. I expect them to knock ‘em down in the 4th.

Lonnie started the majority of the year as a 3-point shooter in the starting line up and hit the 3 consistently. He shot the highest rate of attempts and the best percentage. He didn't come off the bench until recently. I'd rather have White starting too, but he has made 11 3s in 7 games upto now

Rudy Gay looks 80 years old. Jesus Christ.

[Seventyniner]

So many shots are rattling in for both teams. Are the rims kind of loose?

[LeBowen]

We're up 9 with 5 minutes left, can Patty please not check in?

[NASpurs]

HOTS Murray

[Dejounte]

Jakob seems to shoot these FTs better when he gets hacked

His form looks different. He's actually using his offhand now to direct the shot. He used to just rely on his shooting hand lmao

[Seventyniner]

2 for 2 at the line from Poeltl. In other news, a meteor (I mean snow) is about to hit San Antonio...

[Dejounte]

Murray is so explosive now

[PhantomDashCam]

Meanwhile in Washington...

Fucking hate Patty Mills

[r0drig0lac]

Mills...

[YoungbuckMurray]

Come on patty. Get Derek in the game

[8sy21vd]

That was a brilliant move taking out a hot White for the Wombat lol

[RC_Drunkford]

50 Mills with his 3rd turnover in his own halfcourt

[Dejounte]

Praying Patty gets replaced by Tre next season. We'd be so much better

[RC_Drunkford]

That was a brilliant move taking out a hot White for the Wombat lol

:pop: "that veteran leadership. He needs to show these young guys how to close games"

[NASpurs]

Patty Mills B+

[LeBowen]

Why are you hating on Mills?
It's Pop's fault and noone else's.

I really enjoyed the game, but right now I don't even care anymore. Derrick plays the best game of the season, Patty closes the game out, smh.

Murray could have had 15+ assists tonight

Derrick White is a good player.

[Barfunk]

Gotta give props to DeRozan. Wasn't trying to force the issue just to get his. Took what the defense gave him.

[PhantomDashCam]

Starting backcourt with 0 turnovers for second consecutive game. Just nuts...

[Robz4000]

White and Murray put the team on their back tonight.

[Seventyniner]

Fuck this scrub Rozier. Took 30 shots tonight like an all star. Damn

To be fair, he has been far more efficient this season than his Westbrook-like prior years. 45% from three on 7.6 attempts per game and 49% overall, eFG% of 0.608. Pretty solid.

I remember when there were rumors about trading Number Two to Boston, with Rozier being part of the return package. I (and others) wanted no part of a 40% shooting 6'1" SG. It looks like he has taken over the Kemba Walker role there.

[boutons_deux]

White and Murray put the team on their back tonight.

19 / 37 for 51 points

[BillMc]

Victory!

[Blackhaus]

Bargain back court too

Murray and White with 51 Points, 14 Rebounds, 10 Assists and 5 Steals

Y'all gonna be salty as fuck if/when Patty comes back this Summer.


Fuck this scrub Rozier. Took 30 shots tonight like an all star. Damn

Dude was killing us in the first half and has been on - fire as of late. Gotta give the devil his due and Rozier is far from a "scrub."

scrub scored 75 pts in preceding 2 games.

[RC_Drunkford]

Give me Myles Turner for LaMarcus Aldridge and this team could legitimately go to the finals

[J_Paco]

Typical Pop, tripping over his own dick trying to be cute. Smh.

Typical ST, complaining and bitching about Pop even after a W.

And Pop has put Patty in to close out games since forever, so why do the people on here still act surprised?!

[Mr. Body]

Starting backcourt with 0 turnovers for second consecutive game. Just nuts...

Team had 8 turnovers and Mills and Poeltl each had 3.

[J_Paco]

Did your significant other give you drugs for Valentine's day?

We'd have to give away too many assets to acquire Turner (who is an offensively better Poeltl, anyway) and offload LaMarcus.

[SpurPadre]

Good to see Murray and White playing well together. That was impressive stuff from both of them tonight.

[XDT76]

Great games from our young guys, is this the first time we have both White and Murray getting 25+ points in a game? Was hoping KJ hit one to get 3 20+ points.

[RC_Drunkford]

did you learn how to read in school? I never said we can get Turner for Aldridge. I said put Turner on this team and they would have a chance to beat anybody in the West. This team hasn't even reached it's ceiling yet

[RD2191]

He's a scrub coach. Carried by Tim to a HOF career tbh

[J_Paco]

I was just talking shit man, i know he's not actually a scrub

Sorry, my sarcasm detector is broken....

[Biggems]

A shitty last 5 minutes of the 1st quarter. A shitty last minute of the 2nd quarter. A shitty last few minutes of the 3rd quarter. However, a helluva 4th quarter and a great closeout in the final 3 minutes. A great comeback victory, a great 11 minute stretch in the 2nd quarter, and solid all around play by the team.

For some reason, we have penile shrinkage at home, but on the road, our nuts are dragging all over the court. We are letting teams come into our house and have their way with us, but then we are going into other team's arenas and taking up ownership. Weird, weird, weird. I hope our road success continues and we are somehow able to get over our yips at home. If so, look out Western Conference.

GO SPURS GO

[BillMc]

Lonnie had one of those "don't give up on me games".

White looks healthier. Murray is now pretty consistent. Jakob looks good and hit 2 free throws.

Only wish is Devin got more time. But he and LW are gonna have to fight for minutes.
