Game Thread: Spurs vs Pelicans - Feb 27th 2021 - 7:PM CT

[PhantomDashCam]

First Game Thread. Taking the Punt.

Many things to look for in this game. A sampler:

- Mount Zion.
Playing more as an Offensive initiator in the P’nR since Feb. rolled around.
K’OC gives a great breakdown on the development of the big man.

https://twitter.com/KevinOConnorNBA/status/1364985570724831241?s=20

- Sham on Ingram.
Great test for Luka tonight, does he get a chance to check Ingram? Shams length can trouble smaller players and allow him back in the play when beaten off the first dribble. Will not have that advantage with Ingram. Can he play Ingram straight up, avoid fouling - and take advantage Offensively with Ingram’s questionable defensive acumen?

- Lonnie 6th Man.
Like many, rooting for Lonnie successfully integrating himself in SA future plans. Great chance tonight as being either the 1st or 2nd player off the bench. Will get decent looks and opportunities tonight, let’s get go get ‘em Sky-Walker.

All the best peoples. Go Spurs Go!

Thanks for starting the thread! Anyone back that was out Wednesday? I don't believe so, but who knows?

DeRozan

[B1gduff]

Zion is going to be tough guarding with no kj.
Hopefully Luka gets the start and gaurds Ingrom. Would love to see that matchup.

[GB20]

Zion is going to eat the paint tonight.

JJ Redick (right hamstring tightness) is OUT for tonight’s game at San Antonio

[Fusternino]

Am the only one looking forward to these upcoming games? Sick of the constant 4-guard lineups and would like to see that the trio of Luka/KBD/Lyles can do-maybe one can emerge as a true combo forward?

[talkspurs]

wish Luka would have started over lyles.

[RC_Drunkford]

Pelicans can't shoot. I don't know why Pop is still trying man to man defense when zone should give them a ton of trouble

[Dejounte]

wish Luka would have started over lyles.

"Pecking order"

[GAustex]

Jacob has guarded Zion in the past

[3&D_TBH]

Lonnie needs a good game.

[tbdog]

wish Luka would have started over lyles.

You dont think him guarding Zion would be a disaster?

[talkspurs]

You dont think him guarding Zion would be a disaster?

You dont think Lyles will be as well? Also might as well see what he can do against a better player. he will probably guard him some tonight anyway. Also could see how DDR would do on zion and Luka on Ingram.

[BackHome]

I want to see how Poodle does against real bigs.

[RC_Drunkford]

why is Lonnie guarding Ingram?

[Dejounte]

why is Lonnie guarding Ingram?

So help defense can beat him. It's what we do with weak defenders. Same as what we do with Mills. Funnels the player into our help defender.

[RC_Drunkford]

Ingram is already shitting all over Lonnie. I don't get why Pop thinks he's a defender

[RC_Drunkford]

So help defense can beat him. It's what we do with weak defenders. Same as what we do with Mills. Funnels the player into our help defender.

makes no sense. He's more of a shooter than a driver

[cd98]

Wonder if this is going to be a special performance for DDR in memory of his dad. I hope he gets to experience that.

[Robz4000]

:lol two awful calls on Poeltl early. NBA isn't even trying to hide the fact their love for the Pelicans.

[Maddog]

I'm watching it on the pelicans channel in lafayette louisiana

Painful

[spurs1990]

Look for Patty "The Professional" Mills to have a strong game to makeup for last game. Five 3pters, 20 pts along that line.

[RC_Drunkford]

Adams tackles Aldridge under the basket no-call. Refs are abysmal

Wasn't he questionable with wrist soreness?

Nice drive and good defense by Luka

Luka with the good drive and good defense

[Slippy]

LA dominating off the bench.. cant beleive the great looks they giving him.

Soft calls early on the spurs.. hopefully they let them play the rest of game

[GreekSpursfan]

Nooo Luka, it would've been such a great highlight

[Dejounte]

OMG LUKA IF HE MADE THAT

[r0drig0lac]

Murray wow

[RC_Drunkford]

that putback attempt by Luka :hungry:

[Dejounte]

They're giving Zion vintage LeBron spacing... Daring him to shoot

[tim_duncan_fan]

That missed dunk just gave me blueballs.

Damnit Luka!

That was gonna be such a hype moment!

[PhantomDashCam]

DJ! Kid’s a beast. My favourite development from the season thus far...

[RC_Drunkford]

told y'all DJ is a beast

[GB20]

I think the spurs got something in Luka.

[NASpurs]

I've actually been impressed by Luka. Not in the sense of "OMG future All-Star" but it's night and day compared to the preseason. Doesn't look lost on defense and where he has to be on the court.

[ace3g]

DJ making sure another hyphenated Alexander doesn't impact this game (Nickeil Alexander-Walker).

[Dejounte]

Dejounte's anticipation level = Super Saiyan

[duncan2k5]

Lonnie is so freaking gifted... Only if he would stop being a pussy every other game... He has all the tools

[GreekSpursfan]

Can't get a f.ucking rebound to save our lives

[Dejounte]

Lonnie's shot looks good tonight

[RC_Drunkford]

we are hot from 3 but can't get separation

[GB20]

I hope the spurs keep Derozan.

I love that he's aggressive whenever he's getting the ball and he's crashing the boards

[GreekSpursfan]

we are hot from 3 but can't get separation

Because we can't rebound the effing ball

[Slippy]

The threes and the bonus And1's. Spurs are hot

[Dejounte]

I hope the spurs keep Derozan.

You're unleashing the Kraken when you post stuff like this. Watch him reply in 3 2 1...

[RC_Drunkford]

that's where Keldon is missed

[PhantomDashCam]

Hate playing small with Aldridge as your fulcrum.

[Dejounte]

Lonnie's defense is pathetic, man

[RC_Drunkford]

it's not like Steven Adams, Lonzo Ball and Eric Bledsoe are hard to guard

I take it back.. the refs wont let them play.. touch foul on his third.. f off

Egregious foul call on Jakob there. Refs should be fined for shit like that.

[Robz4000]

:lol Pop tries to play LMA/Poeltl together and it immediately backfires

[RC_Drunkford]

Mills with the counter flop

[Mugen]

Refs dont even need to call that shit on Jak. Just give him another few minutes and he'll commit a legit, retarded foul all by himself :lol

Tre surprisingly getting no minutes tonight. I guess because of DeMar

One thing I can tell you, Murray is a better defender than kawhi right now.

Keldon would be nice against Zion tonight

They running plays for him.. did it the first and doing it the third.. you get an engaged Lonnie.. also not looking yo pass off as much

Spurs as team doing just enough.. finding great looks.. just keep playinf the same.. on D.. they need a total team effort on containing their bigs.

Spurs need a 3-pt shooter in a bad way.

LA off the bench still seems like a good option. He can play his game more against benches

Because he getting better every season and he is having all star type of year, hitting the three pointer.

Wow...lol...19/5/6 isn't an all star type year...u have very low standards...he has poor defense and isn't a good three point shooter...he takes less than 2 a game and hits less than 1...his 3 point impact is negligent...getting better every season? He took us to the lottery last year and he has been carried this year by our young guys...his numbers are some of the lowest since he first came in the league and he has the highest usage on the team...he still folds in big games...yes he looks decent when he plays the bottom feeders of the nba, but we don't play the bottom feeders to win rings...trade now before it's too late and we have a 34 year old DDR with a horrible contracts that we can't trade because he would suck even more at that point

another take of yours that proves you don't know shit about basketball. His numbers are down because he's distributing shots to the young guys. He's shooting 2 less shots than last season and dishing out 1.3 more assists

[Dejounte]

Our interior d, thats whats not to love, thx god they are not attacking all the time.

You would think with Zion they would be destroying us

[NASpurs]

our team is 17 deep if you count the two-ways. Everybody on our roster can play

At least these types of games should give Pop more confidence to bench Rudy, for example, if he's sucking ass and play Luka in his place. These types of benches are what we used to have when the big 3 sat down and the bench carried our asses.

[Dejounte]

This line-up out there right now is LONG
DAF86 would love this

[duncan2k5]

Better synergy with line-ups too

If he isn't traded by mid-season, he will pout till the season ends...he is tolerating it now because he may end up having his wet dream of playing with Lillard again

[emanueldavidginobili]

Not sure why DeMar didn't try throwing the lob pass to Luka there.

Luka hasn't effected the boxscore too much but he's been solid out there playing his role (rebounding, cutting, moving and being active).

LMA off the bench is solid gold. His attitude seems positive about this. That's a win-win. Ups his trade value and proves he's a team first guy AND he makes this 2nd unit very dangerous.

Another take? What's my other takes that were bad? Literally everything I said has turned out to be right...

Secondly how did that prove me wrong? All I said was he isn't putting up all star numbers ....u giving me the REASON he isn't putting up all star numbers doesn't prove me wrong...ur a very surface level thinker, I see...lol

[Robz4000]

Here comes the Mills-led Pelicans run to win the game.

[BatManu20]

Patty drinkin’ it up out there. Spurs need to withstand this run and be aggressive on offense. Enough contested midrange bullshit.

[NASpurs]

So why is Weatherspoon on the bench in streets clothes even though he's patient zero?

[tim_duncan_fan]

So....is Luka a defender or have my eyes been deceiving me?

[LeBowen]

We just can't break teams whole season long and it's incredibly frustrating to watch.

Especially when Patty goes into full chucking mode. First he chucks a 3 on fastbreak, misses the T and then chucks another one. Then we revert to LMA post-ups and they're back in it.

[RC_Drunkford]

Another take? What's my other takes that were bad? Literally everything I said has turned out to be right...

Secondly how did that prove me wrong? All I said was he isn't putting up all star numbers ....u giving me the REASON he isn't putting up all star numbers doesn't prove me wrong...ur a very surface level thinker, I see...lol

literally everything you say is bullshit and everybody besides you knows it

[Dejounte]

Not sure why DeMar didn't try throwing the lob pass to Luka there.

Luka hasn't effected the boxscore too much but he's been solid out there playing his role (rebounding, cutting, moving and being active).

It's very surprising how he's doing all the little things. Guess he took notes from Vassell.

Especially surprising because he played selfish in the g league. I guess he had to, in order to show us what he got.

But he's definitely being smart with his minutes right now. He will for sure have minutes in the future if he keeps this up. Then the offense will unfold...

[GreekSpursfan]

You would think with Zion they would be destroying us

When they attack they either score or get a foul or an offensive rebound but a lot of times they kick it out to shooters they don't have fortunately.

[GB20]

Mill is killing the Spurs out there with his bad shots selection.

[RC_Drunkford]

So....is Luka a defender or have my eyes been deceiving me?

mobile, can alter shots, good rebounding and low effort hasn't been an issue at all

[spurs1990]

Is Samanic not allowed to touch the ball on offense. They're playing 4 on 5 during his stretch

[Robz4000]

Get Mills the fuck out

[Dejounte]

FUCK YOU PATTY TRADE THIS SON OF A BITCH

[NASpurs]

Holy fuck take him out already. I feel like I'm going insane watching this shit.

[RC_Drunkford]

Mills is the best player for the opponent in the 4th again

[duncan2k5]

literally everything you say is bullshit and everybody besides you knows it
I'm proving u wrong with facts...saying DeMar is putting up all star numbers...lol...all u can do is rely on people's hate of me instead of any sort of substance...everytime y'all try, I end up proving I'm right, and all u can do to hide the shame is seek to get everyone to jump on the hate train with u

[duncan2k5]

Patty is awful...get Tre in here

[tim_duncan_fan]

mobile, can alter shots, good rebounding and low effort hasn't been an issue at all

He has looked really good. I can't believe what I am watching.

I wish his teammates would let him get a shot on offense though.

[Dejounte]

Poeltl doing Poeltl things. Defense baby

[duncan2k5]

Is Samanic not allowed to touch the ball on offense. They're playing 4 on 5 during his stretch

They don't want him taking their minutes away

[Dejounte]

WOW

[Robz4000]

Spurs lose this game you can lay the blame at Mills' feet again.

[NASpurs]

Patty Mills B+

[RC_Drunkford]

I'm proving u wrong with facts...saying DeMar is putting up all star numbers...lol...all u can do is rely on people's hate of me instead of any sort of substance...everytime y'all try, I end up proving I'm right, and all u can do to hide the shame is seek to get everyone to jump on the hate train with u

Tim Duncan wasn’t putting big numbers either but he was helping the team to win games and that is what Demar Derozan is doing this year.

[Mugen]

Will be interesting to see how the guys and Pop lose this one tbh :lol

[duncan2k5]

Tim Duncan wasn’t putting big numbers either but he was helping the team to win games and that is what Demar Derozan is doing this year.

The years that Duncan was an all star, he was putting up all star numbers both offensively and defensively...and the forwards in the west weren't good enough to knock him out his place ..who is DeMar replacing with his bad defense and 19/6/5 numbers?

[GreekSpursfan]

Inside again, for f.uck sake

[Dejounte]

You're killing me Lonnie

Honestly, Lonnie was playing like shit too. We have no shooters to replace either

My posts are public...ppl can literally see my post substantive opinions...the irony is all you guys ever do is respond with bullshit instead of actual analysis...lol...all my takes have been right...I was saying white and murray are better than Forbes, y'all laughed me out the building...I was saying we should trade lma, y'all ridiculed me...I was saying from the beginning Lyles was awful as a starter, and y'all said otherwise...but my facts beat ur insults

We not only lost many close games WITH him...he was the reason for a lot of those losses... AND we missed the playoffs with him... He isn't some savior

[spurs1990]

Have faith in our vet Mills gents. He'll close this out with a 3pt or two to seal the win

[Robz4000]

:lmao Mills already leading the charge for NO

[emanueldavidginobili]

can we put DJ back in and sit Patty?

[NASpurs]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WTF WAS THAT

[GreekSpursfan]

Poodle can't get a f.ucking position

[duncan2k5]

Lol @ Potty Mills

[NASpurs]

If you're going to hit the side of the backboard, I'm sure Tre Jones can do that too. At least he'll give you solid defense on the other side.

[RC_Drunkford]

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

Literally NOBODY here said that Forbes is better than White or Murray. In fact EVERYBODY said that Walker is even better than Forbes, let alone Murray and White. Besides that I was the one saying Lyles is the worst starting PF in the NBA last season. You're a moron

[Robz4000]

It's clockwork with this team and choking.

[Uriel]

If we lose this :lol

[BatManu20]

Patty might single-handedly lose us this game tbh. Needs to step up and hit a couple shots for us.

[GB20]

The years that Duncan was an all star, he was putting up all star numbers both offensively and defensively...and the forwards in the west weren't good enough to knock him out his place ..who is DeMar replacing with his bad defense and 19/6/5 numbers?
Dude!! Why do you hate Demar so much? He has been our best player for the Spurs since he got here.

[RC_Drunkford]

Patty might single-handedly lose us this game tbh. Needs to get the fuck out of the game ASAP.

FIFY

[GreekSpursfan]

Yep, looks like an L, can't stop anything inside

[NASpurs]

I like how they keep calling Wombat's number.

This isn't true...go back to when Kawhi was here...ppl were saying Forbes was better than Murray since murray couldn't shoot...it seems unbelievable now, but I was one of the only ppl defending murray...after pat Bev ripped him twice, everyone wanted someone other than him...and that included forbes

Run some more plays for Mills, please.

SVG can teach Pop a thing or two about using the coaches challenge. Honestly, so can every other NBA coach.

[Uriel]

50-50 call tbh

[GreekSpursfan]

They will reverse the call, the motherfs

[RC_Drunkford]

damn, they gonna overturn the call

[Robz4000]

Surprised that stood. Looked like an offensive foul to me.

[GreekSpursfan]

thx god they didn't

[NASpurs]

Surprised that stood. Looked like an offensive foul to me.

LA was already up in the air when Ingram was still sliding in.

Williamson is like a very rich man's DeJuan Blair.

[RC_Drunkford]

Zion shoves Lyles in the back to get the rebound, then goes up and of course the refs call a foul on Lyles

[duncan2k5]

Dude!! Why do you hate Demar so much? He has been our best player for the Spurs since he got here.

That's the problem...if he is our best player, that's not anything to build around...I want our best player to be someone I can see helping us win a ring...no team DeMar is part of will EVER win a ring because he isn't a player that can lead a championship team, or even be second banana on a championship team...now he is getting older, it makes no sense to keep him...I don't wanna be mediocre for years trying to make DeRozan happy...all he has ever done was fail in his career, and last year he missed the playoffs, while worse teams made it...u saying we should keep him because he is our best player is like OKC wanting to keep westbrook...the same way y'all loved younger Pop for being no-nonsense and not putting up with bullshit, im the same...I don't wanna waste time with players I know will just keep up with no identity for years

[GreekSpursfan]

Is anyone from our know how to box out?

[J_Paco]

Is Samanic not allowed to touch the ball on offense. They're playing 4 on 5 during his stretch

Probably just a lack of familiarity and chemistry cause them not to check for him.

Zion is a fucking bull in the paint. How does the motherfucker only average 6.8 rebounds a game?

Come on, Spurs! Don't throw this game away too.

[spurs1990]

Great win tonight. DeRozan was a force

[emanueldavidginobili]

18-7-7 3 steals and a block for DJ :smokin

[GreekSpursfan]

Without DDR this would've been an easy L tbh.

[LeBowen]

Really important win in the end, but had to close that one out way earlier.
LMA can be another weapon if he stays. Can easily drop 15+ off the bench against anyone.

[BatManu20]

Good win tbh. And an important one give our upcoming schedule. This team has a lot to work on though. Could be way better than we are.
