Game Thread: Spurs @ Bulls — Wed. 3/17/2021 - 7pm CST

[DC23]

Nice opportunity to move up in the standings with a W here.

[ace3g]

They will be on the 2nd game of B2B, so we need to take adv of that.

[Sugus]

4th quarter Lavine VS this Spurs team will be a fun one to watch. Possibly infuriating as well. Spurs by 5.

[murpjf88]

Bulls should be well rested for this one. They're pasting the Thunder.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

[BatManu20]

No DDR = Lonnie time. Hopefully he shows up and balls out tomorrow.

[spurs10]

:flag: Spurs by 6.

[EasyMoney]

Ugh. Already thinking of the 4th quarter where patty mills gets subbed in to guard lavine.

[Fireball]

Hopefully Lavine does not go off for 50 ...

[BillMc]

Spurs by 13

[PrimeMinister]

Bubble Derrick White needs to be guarding Lavine tonight or it’s gonna be a struggle

Interested to see Patrick Williams and what flashes or lack thereof he shows.

With the bulls playing a pretty small starting unit I’m also interested to see if any situational line ups are called upon down the stretch to combat Lauri/Thad sharing duties at the 5. Bigs who can pull Jakob out of the paint like Tingus Pingus have given the SL trouble. Gang rebounding from the guards and wings is a must tonight. We all want to see Luka small ball experiments but most likely it’s gonna be Gay and Lyles getting time at 5 if necessary.

It’s a B2B for the bulls, spurs are down their best player. Spurs have the depth advantage but bulls can call upon the best player on the floor with Lavine. Dejounte im gonna count on tonight for his usual 19/9/6 - this game IMO is gonna come down to what version of DWhite we get and if the spurs are able to close defensive possessions on the boards.

Spurs W by 5

[Leetonidas]

Bulls by 20+

Why is it taking too long for DDR to get back with the team?

Just the same, I'm hoping for Lonnie to beast mode. Spurs by 7 :flag::flag::flag:

[TimDunkem]

^^Yeah DD! It was just your father. Get back on the team and entertain these fat Spurs fans!

[Degoat]

It wouldn’t surprise me if Demar is having to self quarantine before he can return

What is a reasonable amount of time?

[PrimeMinister]

What is a reasonable amount of time?

However long he needs

If he sat the rest of the year I’d say cool and start looking at how the rotation would look without him.

Im not gonna tell a grown man how to feel about his father dying. And yes, I’m aware I don’t have the same luxury as a normal person at my job to do the same thing and it doesn’t change my opinion.

[Robz4000]

Wouldn't surprise me if DPR is being sat until the trade deadline tbh.

[TimDunkem]

Lost my father just after my 11th birthday. I wish I had time to grieve back then. Guy should have as much time as he needs. Not like the team is playing for a championship.

[GAustex]

Im not gonna tell a grown man how to feel about his father dying.
Me too. I ain’t missing him and enjoy watching the young ones try to figure it out.

Now if we’re me and I just took off from my job indefinitely, well there would eventually be an issue.

[RD2191]

Easy win for the Bulls.

[BatManu20]

Happy St. Patty’s Day boys. Let’s get this dub.

[TheGreatYacht]

Patrick Williams shot 1/9 last game so I’m expecting him to go 8/10 today and 4/5 from three.

Spurms love giving scrubs open 3’s.

[Leetonidas]

Spurs come out flat as usual

[John B]

Here we go again with terrible start

[TheGreatYacht]

Lmao these scrubs struggling to get in the paint. Is Pop calling these plays?

[Degoat]

Terrible start, they always start the game off like your turn-my turn

[Leetonidas]

Ugly, ugly offense. A solid as Murray has been this year he still is not a good PG

[Robz4000]

:lmao Spurs

[emanueldavidginobili]

Put in Devin

[Sugus]

Poeltl taking on the scoring load for this sucky ass SL :lmao

[LeBowen]

Jakob's FTs look much better.

Defense looks like Bryn and Marco are still on the team.

[Leetonidas]

:lol we got IG baller tonight

[RC_Drunkford]

Poeltl fluffers take notes. The Bulls are showing you what a 3-point shooting big man does for your offense. Markannen is drawing Poeltl out to the 3-point line and the Bulls get nothing but easy lay ups

[NASpurs]

Holy shit at the parting the Red Sea defense by the Spurs before Lonnie's basket

[John B]

Good that Lonnie got in early, hopefully he keeps it going

[Mugen]

Damn thank god that was an ankle turn for Keldon. Looked worse live.

[John B]

Lonnie beast mode

[PhantomDashCam]

Lonnie going Tatum push off mode :lol

[heyheymymy]

Looks like kj is wearing the opponent's color again tonight with the red shoes

[emanueldavidginobili]

All the shit talking about DeMar, this team is light years better with him.

[TheGreatYacht]

White needs to stop shooting. God damn

[Leetonidas]

This is embarrassing

[heyheymymy]

Repeat of the magic game slow start hope they can pull it together in 2Q

[NASpurs]

Such a feast or famine type of team.

[RC_Drunkford]

Mills and Gay leading the tank again

[heyheymymy]

Jesus zero juice tonight

[Mugen]

Why do I have a feeling that Lyles is going play 25+ mins tonight :lol

[poopbox]

Rudy and Patty already a combined 1 for 7 :lol

[heyheymymy]

Damn lavine kinda has that HGH jaw now

[r0drig0lac]

the team with more talent is beating the team with less talent, it's normal.

[Leetonidas]

Jesus murray

[heyheymymy]

Lol vassell won that 1 on 3 wow

[Degoat]

We fcking suck!!!

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Is keldon johnson ok? It looked like he sprained his ankle pretty bad

[RC_Drunkford]

All the shit talking about DeMar, this team is light years better with him.

this team has no consistent scoring option without him. That's why they so up and down without DeMar

[poopbox]

It's amazing how Patty and Rudy always seem to be trash at the same time. It's like they discuss it during pre game or something

[NASpurs]

OP with those Amuseddaysleeper (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=309) type of powers to create cursed threads. I'm starting to wonder if it's not Amused under another alias. :lol

[Mugen]

This team straight up sucks :lol

[Mugen]

Is keldon johnson ok? It looked like he sprained his ankle pretty bad

Back on the bench, probably just got it retaped.

[boutons_deux]

28% vs 57%,first qtr -14

[Leetonidas]

KJ back on the sideline already at least

[PhantomDashCam]

Our C’s have come to play at least. Nice 1st for Poeltl and Eubanks.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Spurs have to be down by 57 or a minute left in regulation for Luka to see the floor.

[Sugus]

This team straight up sucks :lol

I'm waiting for ST to place the entire blame for this embarrassing outing on Jakob, per usual, tbh

[BatManu20]

16 pts in a quarter in the modern NBA :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

PJ Tucker to the Bucks

[TheGreatYacht]

Faggots that actually think this team is better without DeRozan :lmao

[duncan2k5]

this team has no consistent scoring option without him. That's why they so up and down without DeMar

Simply being better with him doesn't mean anything if we have a very definite ceiling with him

[poopbox]

Tucker got traded. Watch ever disgruntled player get traded except LMA and we buy him out :lol

[duncan2k5]

Don't worry fellas... Our defense will kick in

[NASpurs]

Tucker got traded. Watch ever disgruntled player get traded except LMA and we buy him out :lol

Probably for the best since Brian Wright will trade him for a bag of magic beans.

[212094ever]

Can't even hit free throws, gonna be a long night

[Maddog]

This is not looking good

[RC_Drunkford]

this was a scheduled L though, just like the Philly loss. People here have too many expectations for this team

[Mugen]

Rudy Gay man, not this guy.

[heyheymymy]

Still a lot of ballgame left

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Billy Donovan owns Pops soul

[John B]

Spurs are 5th in the 2nd quarter, so here’s hoping they close the gap

[Sugus]

Don't worry fellas... Our defense will kick in

I agree, tbh, I'm expecting the lead to dwindle before halftime. Get Poeltl back on the court with the bench lineup staying and we're good :drunk

[GB20]

Why Does Pop take too long to make adjustments during game ? He doesn’t have the fire to coach anymore.

[heyheymymy]

Lol Lillard 18/18 FTs last night what a thrilling finish too

[Leetonidas]

The amount of offensive rebounds the Spurs give up is maddening

[Robz4000]

Do the Spurs get to 40 before halftime?

[RC_Drunkford]

Why Does Pop take too long to make adjustments during game ? He doesn’t have the fire to coach anymore.

getting outcoached by Billy Donovan as usual

[RC_Drunkford]

when Jakob Poeltl is your top scorer, you ain't winning the game

[RC_Drunkford]

Poeltl with one of his great passes :lmao

[emanueldavidginobili]

Spurs need to push the pace this half court offense is shit.

[heyheymymy]

They're not even running offense everyone is just scrambling around.

I've seen like 3 TOs on broken down passes because it's not a set play and there's just random motion everywhere

[Sugus]

Poeltl with one of his great passes :lmao

It was a good pass, clearly intended for Lonnie to make a quick cut towards the basket, which he didn't do... Do y'all understand basketball at any level whatsoever? Some posts seriously make me wonder :lol

[poopbox]

One of the worst spurs games I seen in a minute. I don't understand how a team can play basketball this bad

[NASpurs]

:lol yeah I got no hope in the Spurs winning this one

[Leetonidas]

Guess I'll go do something else and check the score periodically. This shit is not worth wasting my evening for:lol

[r0drig0lac]

Lavine (which would be called a scrub in spurstalk) is two levels better than anyone on the court.

[TheGreatYacht]

Is Chip Engellland still employed? Honestly have no idea..

[NASpurs]

Do the Spurs get to 40 before halftime?

30 is looking pretty bad too :lol

*edit* nvm Keldon for 3

[John B]

I think his face hit the ground?

[RC_Drunkford]

It was a good pass, clearly intended for Lonnie to make a quick cut towards the basket, which he didn't do... Do y'all understand basketball at any level whatsoever? Some posts seriously make me wonder :lol

A pass that leads to a TO is never a good pass

[NASpurs]

Derrick's fathead nearly killed Lonnie

[GB20]

The spurs look bad without Derozan, he is the offense of this team.

[PhantomDashCam]

Hope Lonnie’s ok. That could be concussion protocol type action.

[NASpurs]

:lol great offense there after the timeout

[r0drig0lac]

rape

[J_Paco]

I think his face hit the ground?

Yeah, looked like a concussion. Hope Lonnie is okay & I'm wrong.

Offense has been terrible, so far, and no one is able to get any consistent, easy looks.

Another bad turnover, SMDH.

Really missing DeRozan and his playmaking plus shot creation, tonight.

[J_Paco]

Lavine (which would be called a scrub in spurstalk) is two levels better than anyone on the court.

LaVine's a stud and easily better than everyone on our squad (including DeRozan).

Sigh, another blowout loss underway.

[mexicanjunior]

League pass is such a waste of money...never again...

[r0drig0lac]

one of these teams is much more physical and talented in general

[NASpurs]

Spurs are going to give Omar the max, aren't they :lol

[Sugus]

A pass that leads to a TO is never a good pass

What the fuck? That's the stupidest post in this entire thread so far, sorry to say. A perfectly executed pass by a passer, in the flow of an offensive set, that isn't well received by an inattentive player, or that player forgets to make the scripted cut/screen/move, or just fumbles the ball causing a turnover - that's a "bad pass" to you? You really reinforce the last part of my previous post, tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurms treating Markkanen like he’s fucking Mutumbo :lmao bunch of soft shit in then paint

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs trying to set a new franchise record for lowest scoring half in franchise history :lol

[LeBowen]

It's been said many times already, but DJ/Derrick/Keldon lineups just can't work without a legit shooting big.
Gets even worse when you add Demar into the mix.

There will be games when they're hot, but this is way closer to their actual spacing.

except when your guard has 6'7 6'8 or is called Lebron James, a formation with 3 guards will never work .....ever

[John B]

Cut down to 18, but the Spurs are 27th in the 3rd. This could go to 30 down in the 3rd

[Sugus]

saying a pass that goes straight to the opponent is a good pass is the dumbest post in this thread. You even topped duncan2k5 with that

Did you rewatch the play? Do you understand that the pass was set up so Lonnie, who was literally just behind his defender, made a cut towards a guard-less basket for an easy score, which he apparently failed to read or didn't realize was an option? I'm seriously asking... Seriously. Rewatch the play, then get back to me. Post the highlight, even, if you have it, because you're spreading absolute bullshit and I'm perfectly willing to die on this hill. What a bunch of nonsense.

[NASpurs]

They have to, have you watch this team play lately?

Like I said before, they're a feast or famine type of team. It just sucks giving Omar so much money just to keep them afloat to battle for that coveted 8th seed year in and year out. I don't mind him being a second banana though.

[SuperCam]

Spurs don't have one gdamn player under the age of 30 that will ever sniff an all star game one day. sad state of affairs that PATFO has left the franchise in..:oops

[Sugus]

If the team is consistently this bad without only DeMar, there is no sense in keeping him just to be mediocre at best. Let the young guys sink or swim, and the team's direction will show itself.

[TheGreatYacht]

:lol folks expecting Pop to give a shit about this game

There was a white supremacist shooting yesterday. This game is meaningless. He’s probably in that locker teaching those young men what they can do to improve Asian American relations in the community.

[NASpurs]

That's where I'm at as a fan but PATFO doesn't seem to think like that. I guess we'll see come the trade deadline of hints as to what they want to do.

[Sugus]

Spurs don't have one gdamn player under the age of 30 that will ever sniff an all star game one day. sad state of affairs that PATFO has left the franchise in..:oops

Yeah, they definitely didn't have a player under 30 taking part in the Rising Stars game, for sure... What an unknowledgeable retard, do some research before you try to talk trash :lol

[SPURt]

I’ve never seen a team so two faced on offense, gross af tonight

[r0drig0lac]

Spurs don't have one gdamn player under the age of 30 that will ever sniff an all star game one day. sad state of affairs that PATFO has left the franchise in..:oops

nah, everything that happens negatively in SA until 2040 is Kawhi's fault for leaving the franchise [/

[John B]

That starter is missing a lot of scoring power. I love Keldon, but Devin’s outside shot is more dependable and put him on SF and insert Luka in at PF. They need to shake that starting lineup: DJ, White, Devin, Luka, Poeltl. Keldon as 6th man to bring energy from the bench.

[Sugus]

Keldon's impact is visibly reduced by playing the PF position. It erases his size and length advantage, forces him to expend more energy guarding bigger players, and also forces him to do secondary rim protection/defensive duties, which he's just not ready for so far. Playing him at SF is the obvious choice with Luka or whomever at PF, but this is Pop we're talking about

[Mugen]

If Demar was playing, we'd only be losing by 10 :lol

[PhantomDashCam]

Lonnie out there taking shots at the half. Good sign.

[RD2191]

Easy win for the Bulls.

:wakeup

[Dverde]

:lol folks expecting Pop to give a shit about this game

There was a white supremacist shooting yesterday. This game is meaningless. He’s probably in that locker teaching those young men what they can do to improve Asian American relations in the community.

So true. He probably has Lonnie doing oral book reports instead of watching game film

[Mugen]

:lol as expected Pop relying on Rudy Gay to carry them in this one. Jesus, what fucking year is it.

[NASpurs]

:lol Poeltl

[BackHome]

Yeah, Pop just does not give a shit anymore .............or CIA Pop is secretly tanking????

[John B]

Still Gay over Luka? Offense over defense is Pop’s mentality. The Bulls just scored 58 1st half. It should be stopping them from scoring and then scoring on our side

[RC_Drunkford]

Post the highlight, even, if you have it, because you're spreading absolute bullshit and I'm perfectly willing to die on this hill. What a bunch of nonsense.

I understand that Lonnie was supposed to cut there, but you're acting like Poeltl didn't see him. You don't throw a pass to player who's not cutting even when he's supposed to

[TheGreatYacht]

Yeah, Pop just does not give a shit anymore .............or CIA Pop is secretly tanking????
Y’all gotta stop with the CIA Poop shit :lmao

He’s just a never-was that’s stuck in the 00’s

[r0drig0lac]

2-18 for three lmao

[RC_Drunkford]

Bulls got some great announcers

[BatManu20]

Bulls got some great announcers

Agreed tbh.

[RC_Drunkford]

that was a great pass by Murray. I guess Poeltl was supposed to cut there Sugus :lol

[boutons_deux]

white - murray - walker : 8 / 30

[John B]

Lonnie has that all season and that’s it.

[RC_Drunkford]

Lonnie with improved finishing at the rim recently

[TheGreatYacht]

Lonnie and Jakob better be the only passing grades tonight. Nobody else. Not even a D+

[Sugus]

Yeah, there's absolutely NO EVIDENCE that Lonnie plays better when DeMar isn't on the team.... :lol

[The Truth #6]

Lonnie with improved finishing at the rim recently

If somehow this horrible loss results in Lonnie learning how to make layups for the rest of his career, then I’ll take it!

[Sugus]

I understand that Lonnie was supposed to cut there, but you're acting like Poeltl didn't see him. You don't throw a pass to player who's not cutting even when he's supposed to

You didn't answer my question, did you rewatch the play? Why should Poeltl not throw a pass to a perimeter oriented Lonnie, who was supposed to cut, when he was right next to him? This twisting of the on-court play to blame Poeltl for a bad read from Lonnie is beyond ridiculous, and even more is you willing to die on this hill :lol

[Mugen]

What's the actual harm in seeing if Luka can give them a spark when Rudy is playing like absolute trash? :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Billy Donovan is such an elite coach. Has pushed Pop’s shit in his whole career, took that mediocre Thunder team last year to the playoffs, gonna make the playoffs with the Bulls, etc

Would trade Pop and D. White for him, easily.

[J_Paco]

LaVine has got it going, Spurs can't make anything from 3 and the defense has been shit.

Nice strip inside by Derrick, but they gotta finish better on the break.

Off the side of the back board.:rollin:rollin:rollin:rollin

[Mugen]

:lmao

[TheGreatYacht]

Pandemic Patty with the usual sideboard brick :lmao

[r0drig0lac]

holy shiieeet these mfers don't practice shooting?

[Degoat]

This is worse than the philly game

[sananspursfan21]

Wow. This is putrid. It seems like ever since the announcement about Aldridge, the Spurs have been an extra kind of terrible. I know Derozan’s out, but this seems like a type of bad that he couldn’t save them from...

[J_Paco]

You make so many stupid comments and posts it's impossible to rebut them all.:bobo

[Mugen]

So many stupid fucking rebounds they've let go.

[TheGreatYacht]

You make so many stupid comments and posts it's impossible to rebate them all.:bobo
Don’t make me call ICE, Patricio

[boutons_deux]

will probably be un 35% for the game

[8sy21vd]

White's shooting since his COVID return has been beyond awful. Seems like both he and KJ have lost a lot of energy since they came back. Very flat.

[PhantomDashCam]

The fact we are down only 15 is somewhat of a minor miracle.

[J_Paco]

Don’t make me call ICE, Patricio

Hahaha, you lack originality with your humor too.

Must be a joy to engage with outside of ST.

[RC_Drunkford]

we could make this a game if we could just get 2 stops and hit 2 3s, but we're not able to do that :lmao

[Mugen]

This team is straight up retarded in every facet of the organization tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Hahaha, you lack originality with your humor too.

Must be a joy to engage with outside of ST.
Ever since Sleepy Joe stole the election, roaches like yourself have come out the sewer :lol

[J_Paco]

Patty has been God awful from three, tonight, so let's run a play for him to brick another one.

LaVine misses but Murray and the rest of the guards can't snatch the rebound.

Team is just playing with little energy and missing everything, again.

[BlackAndWhite]

Rudy Gay has also been playing worse.

[Mugen]

Patty in the closing seconds of any quarter :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

Mills end of the quarter play ended exactly how it always does

[stephen jackson]

Pathetic

[jbspurs]

I bet Pop will put in White over Vasell to start 4th.

[John B]

Cut to 13. That’s a better 3rd quarter. Sours are 12th in the league in the 4th, so here’s hoping.

[TheGreatYacht]

Gotta cut that lead while Fathead is on the bench, tbh..

[GB20]

It looks like the spurs play better without Derrick White.

[J_Paco]

Ever since Sleepy Joe stole the election, roaches like yourself have come out the sewer :lol

That joke would make sense if I wasn't an American citizen by birth, idiot. Your racism is showing....

Rudy Gay has also been playing worse.

Rudy and (not gonna happen) Patty should see little time in the 4th. Both have been God awful, tonight, but Pop will still lean on them cause of their "veteran knowledge."

[John B]

That Gay offense over Keldon’s worked better. I mean I love Keldon, but until he starts getting those outside shots. They should really put Vassell in there or Luka at PF.

[Robz4000]

White's shooting since his COVID return has been beyond awful. Seems like both he and KJ have lost a lot of energy since they came back. Very flat.

Same thing has happened to Jayson Tatum tbh.

I don't even care if they come back to win this, please god no more Rudy Gay this game.

[J_Paco]

Making a run, finally....

Gotta get this lead down to a few possessions before LaVine checks back in. Don't take Devin out!!!!

[PhantomDashCam]

Nice misdirection on that previous set. Usually a Patty 3 at the top - instead KJ down low. :tu

Derrick White.

The moron seems to to think the team is better without White. They aren’t and he's clearly playing through conditioning issues (so is Devin, Keldon & DeMar).

[Mugen]

KJ with some great passes this qtr.

[Dejounte]

They're playing full court press

Too much of these "good experience" games. They need to stop being so lethargic to start the game.

The stretch we regret is the entire first half and a half of the third, tbh. The fact that we're in any position to try and win the game still, is miraculous. Fingers crossed ofc.
