Game Thread: Spurs vs. Hornets — MON. 3/22/2021 - 7:30pm CST

[BatManu20]

Longest home stand in franchise history starts tonight — 9 straight games. LaMelo Ball is out for the remainder of the season with a fractured wrist (injuries suck). Spurs will be the first to benefit. Hornets are 20-21 on the season, and have lost 3 in a row to the the Clips, Lakers, & Nuggs. They had a 4-game winning streak before that. Let’s get it.

Geez, I hate it when the top player on the opposing team is out due to injury. Of course you want to beat the full team but invariably it seems the other team plays out of the their mind. Trap game.

[BatManu20]

In other news.

[Robz4000]

First game without a star player is always a trap game, especially with the team desperate to win. Hornets win this imo.

[LCM]

Will be interesting to see if Graham is in Hornets SL tonight. Rozier and Monk are SG not distributors. Hayward may have the ball in his hands a lot too. Minimize turnovers (like they have all year), transition D (Hornets want to run), and defensive rebound (limit to one shot) the Spurs will win. DeRozen getting legs under him, DJ and Mills coming back, Lonnie needs to eat up Hornets 2nd string guards. Keldon vs. PJ Washington will be a nice Kentucky cat fight! Just don't take this Hornets team lightly, and be looking at the Clippers double header! Get this HS started right!

Spurs by 12...

[spurraider21]

Spurs by 20+ tbh

[Leetonidas]

Rozier going for 40 tonight

[poopbox]

Spurs pull away late but game is closer than it should be due to our shitty 1st quarters

[RC_Drunkford]

trap game. We gotta finish them off early

[BillMc]

Spurs by 7

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

This should be a game that improves our point differential...emphasis on "should".

[John B]

Spurs is peaking and will continue the good plays. Derrick comes back with a big game. Spurs by 20+ Will see some Luka tonight :flag::flag::flag:

[Mugen]

This. The Spurs haven't had a trap game since Nephew left tbh :lol

[tim_duncan_fan]

Rozier going for 40 tonight

[emanueldavidginobili]

Hornets have been playing solid this year, really sucks Ball got injured kid was looking really really good this year. Fully expect Graham and Rozier to go off tonight. DeMar should dominate tonight, Spurs by 9.

[Robz4000]

:lmao White

[poopbox]

White :lmao

[RC_Drunkford]

Erik Sprite :lol

[EasyMoney]

Derrick. You can't deactivate your twitter after seeing people trash you, and then come out and air ball a wide open 3.

[lefty20]

Holy shit, white needs to just close his eyes before shooting. It'd likely be an improvement at this point.

[Dverde]

Derrick these airballs

[Robz4000]

Hoping this is just a slump by White, but man he's been looking awful.

[BlackAndWhite]

Covid must have destroyed Derrick's confidence

[Degoat]

DWhite ain’t the only one airballing, cough Keldon

[BackHome]

It's going to be a LONG night......sigh.

[BillMc]

no worries

[Slippy]

Patty with the three. First guard off the bench after Lonnie has a career high game. Only pop.

[r0drig0lac]

refs...

[Robz4000]

:lol these refs

[Leetonidas]

Probably gonna lose because of the incidental contact

[BatManu20]

What the fuck is up with Jakob getting called for fouls on clean blocks these past 3 games

[Slippy]

Big men arnt allowed to defend anymore.. nba is going bonkers

[Leetonidas]

Oh wow fully expected them to give some bs about the body contact there.

[Mugen]

Holy shit the old man actually challenged and won.

[Sugus]

What the fuck is up with Jakob getting called for fouls on clean blocks these past 3 games

Just wait until the "hE gEtS iNtO tOo MuCh FoUl TrOuBlE!!1!" crowd comes along

LMAO call overturned, take that refs, fucking shit job this season

[RC_Drunkford]

good challenge from Pop

[Sugus]

:lol modern NBA foul calling :lol

[Leetonidas]

Wtf Rudy. Just dumb

[poopbox]

Lonnie got to be on pace to set some sort of record 3 point fouls

[GB20]

The refs are killing this league with their stupid calls. The nba has been having less viewers every year.

[RC_Drunkford]

Rudy Gay bringing up the ball :lmao

[Leetonidas]

Fucking spurs fold like origami with any backcourt pressure

[RC_Drunkford]

The refs are killing this league with their stupid calls. The nba has been having less viewers every year.

That's on Adam Silver mostly though. Since he wants these high scoring games and told them to call every contact a foul. NBA been wack ever since

[NASpurs]

Low IQ Rudy Gay on full display.

[poopbox]

Becky in the background is comedy :lmao

[Dejounte]

That hang time by Lonnie really allows him to fake really well into a pass.

[emanueldavidginobili]

I love Beckys emotion on the bench she just got hyped on that Lonnie/Drew play

[Degoat]

Lonnie “No dunk” Walker sigh lol

[Robz4000]

Hornets are abusing the Spurs.

[MultiTroll]

Tf's going on?
I'm box scoring and it went from 14-13 to 25-15.

[Dejounte]

This bench line up is garbage

[emanueldavidginobili]

Shit line up and DJ has been on the bench too long.

[poopbox]

So far Rudy has been the best player for the hornets

[Mugen]

:lol Replay of the first time they played...hopefully tbh.

[spurs1990]

Eubanks fans come defend your guy. Why is he a rotation player

[FkLA]

Rather have Luka in there instead of Rudy. Too bad it will never happen with Pop.

[BillMc]

Still early

[Slippy]

Spurs are looking rerrible on offense

Hornets getting easy points in transition

[RC_Drunkford]

This game has L written all over it

[GB20]

That lineup is not working out.

[Leetonidas]

I like DJ but spurs slow starts are because he is terrible at running an offense

[Dejounte]

Lonnie's new angles on his drives. Beautiful

[C-Dub]

Rudy should be benched. Every since he's come in the Spurs have fallen off. He is playing nonchalantly like it doesn't matter to him.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Lonnie is so soft my god, go through Graham and go up strong!!!

[Dejounte]

Gay acting like LMA on defense. Awful

[GB20]

Rudy should be benched. Every since he's come in the Spurs have fallen off. He is playing nonchalantly like it doesn't matter to him.

[BillMc]

This. Maybe next year

[GB20]

Pop is taking too long to make adjustments.

[3&D_TBH]

What the fuck is wrong with this team in the 1st quarter of seemingly every game tbh

[Ocotillo]

DJ’s night in the barrel

[BillMc]

Luka should be taking his minutes.
Already a better defender

[Kurgan]

Murray playing terrible ball to close that quarter. Very unclutch. Dribbled off his foot and traveling in back to back possessions.

[Slippy]

Luka should be taking his minutes.

Agree.. theres game where Rudy just not bringing it like now.. pop wont reognize this till the games over

[boutons_deux]

Hornets took 10 more shots in first quarter

[C-Dub]

Why is Rudy still in the game?

[spurraider21]

Hoping this is just a slump by White, but man he's been looking awful.
wonder is this is his version of Poeltl with his slow starts

[TheGreatYacht]

Lonnie is the 3rd option every time Mills in on the court. Its unforgivable.

[BillMc]

Why is Rudy still in the game?
Satan?

[r0drig0lac]

comeback

[MultiTroll]

Rudy Dog answering you complainers. :lol

[GB20]

I wish keldon and Lonnie have a green light to shoot like Mill and Rudy.

[spurs1990]

El Professional Patty Mills

[RC_Drunkford]

Man I love these guys playing defense. Been a while since we had a team that can really lock the opponent down and gets multiple stops in a row

[TheGreatYacht]

This game is reminding me a lot of their first meeting. Spurs were down 17-33 after 1 and then turned it around and won the 2nd quarter 47-26

[FkLA]

Why are the Spurs so damn elite in 2nd Qtrs? :lol

[jbspurs]

DWhite= Pops new darling

[Dejounte]

Keldon hurting us tonight

[Kurgan]

Hornets making a run every time Derozan and Lonnie are in the game

[Robz4000]

wonder is this is his version of Poeltl with his slow starts

Said that last game too, and he's done it in the past. Problem is he's injury prone on top of it; if he's gonna play like this after any sort of break he just can't be trusted as a key cog.

[Sugus]

This really looks like we'll pull away in the 2nd half. That is, if we can get the defensive intensity to stay somewhat constant. Attack the ball handlers, play physical, don't give them space to shoot. Spurs can pull it off, but not playing like they have been so far, too lenient.

[C-Dub]

Why is Pop still in the game. If he wasn't still in the game there's a pretty good chance that Rudy is not in this game.

Demar is a fucking disaster defensively today

[Robz4000]

This feels more like a game where the Spurs just can't get over the hump. Bad way to start the most important stretch of the season.

[RC_Drunkford]

Hornets are playing smart D. They pack the paint immediately so none of our guys has any driving lanes

[Kurgan]

Hayward making Demar his bitch.

[poopbox]

Keldon jumped in front of lonnie and lost the ball :lmao

[BatManu20]

Hornets can’t miss.

[Dejounte]

These guys don't fucking miss

[GB20]

I believe white will get it together sooner than later. He has not played a lot this year.

[TheGreatYacht]

Why in the fuck is Derozan guarding Hayward

[Dejounte]

Hornets won't shoot this well in the second half (I hope)

[Kurgan]

Hayward is destroying Demar tonight. Shameful defense from that fake "star"

[poopbox]

Poeltl you damn pussy dunk the ball :madrun

[RC_Drunkford]

If we don’t start getting hot from 3 we won’t win this

[TheGreatYacht]

Poeltl :lmao floater with an open lane

[EasyMoney]

Demar with a half hearted attempt to contest Gordon's mid range. Ugh.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Hayward playing damn good this season. Keldon and DJ have to be more aggressive offensively.

[Robz4000]

:lol people who wanna keep DePression

[SpurSpike]

Poeltl you damn pussy dunk the ball :madrun

Embarrassing 1st half

[Robz4000]

Spurs haven't been good in second quarters as of late.

[mo7888]

That was hard to watch for alot of reasons....but the inability to knock down 3's is our biggest issue because it leans into other problems.

[BillMc]

Lonnie back to normal Lonnie so far. Come on LW4!

[RC_Drunkford]

They need to change up their offensive strategy. Charlotte is packing the paint and daring the Spurs to shoot, which is obviously the main weakness of the starting line up. Also DeRozan should never guard Hayward again. Hayward is eating him alive

[RC_Drunkford]

It would be nice to have a big with an outside shot for exactly these type of situations. We really need one instead of playing Eubanks

[Kurgan]

Demar's defense tonight is the worst I've seen from any Spur all season. At some point he needs to go to Pop and just tell him he can't guard Hayward.

[GB20]

They need to change up their offensive strategy. Charlotte is packing the paint and daring the Spurs to shoot, which is obviously the main weakness of the starting line up. Also DeRozan should never guard Hayward again. Hayward is eating him alive
They need Luka to spread the floor.

[Barfunk]

Oh nice Lonnie with 8 minutes

[Dejounte]

Oh nice Lonnie with 8 minutes

He's grimacing every time because of his wrists

[RC_Drunkford]

Pop won’t play Luka. We just gotta hope Patty, Rudy and Lonnie get hot otherwise we won’t stand a chance to win this. The Hornets are also killing us on the glass

[3&D_TBH]

9 game home stand. Lebron is out and so is AD. We could easily climb up the standings with a good run during this nine game stretch. That’s what I was telling myself before the first half anyway. :lmao

[RC_Drunkford]

Oh nice Lonnie with 8 minutes

He has 3 fouls

[TheGreatYacht]

Hayward's bum ass always disappears against the elite teams. Had 31 total points in the last 3 games against DEN-LAL-LAC... also used to be Kawhi's bitch every time we played Utah back in the day.

Says it all that he's got it going on against us.

[Barfunk]

He's grimacing every time because of his wrists

Ah I see, my bad. I though it was Pop up to his old tricks.

[Barfunk]

As we all know, Pop has a deep trick bag.

[FkLA]

Hayward scores a couple buckets on him, has 13 pts at the half and that somehow translates to him "destroying" DeMar. :rolleyes

I agree that it's stupid of Pop to have DeMar guarding him, since he has a bunch of better defenders at his disposal. But holy shit some of you love to be dramatic about DeMar every chance you get.

[TheGreatYacht]

Demar's defense tonight is the worst I've seen from any Spur all season. At some point he needs to go to Pop and just tell him he can't guard Hayward.
The braindead coach or his yes men/female assistants should notice that he's getting killed.

[TheGreatYacht]

The rebound people during warmups aren't even giving Luka a ball :lol he's had to go get one himself each time

[Dejounte]

That cross over dribble by DJ is beautiful. I wish he'd take it out from the 3 point line. Someday, maybe.

[BatManu20]

How the fuck do these players still not understand that if you drive to the basket and a defender is standing right there, they’re going to take a charge. Literally every time. Yet we continue to plow right into them. It makes no fucking sense. Use a euro-step or an extra dribble to get around them or pass the ball. Drives me nuts. And it’s not just us, I see it all around the NBA. It’s maddening.

Rudy is terrible but he's only getting these minutes because the Spurs lack a true stretch big. Awful roster construction. Maybe our front office shouldn't be guaranteeing 25 million dollar contracts to players we have no intention of playing(LMA)

[Leetonidas]

:lmao Gay in to finish the game. My god he's lost it

[EasyMoney]

Rudy checking back in. Gg

How the fuck do these players still not understand that if you drive to the basket and a defender is standing right there, they’re going to take a charge. Literally every time. Yet we continue to plow right into them. It makes no fucking sense. Use a euro-step or an extra dribble to get around them or pass the ball. Drives me nuts. And it’s not just us, I see it all around the NBA. It’s maddening.

I think it's because things look slower on TV that it's actually hard to stop or turn unless you're an elite athlete.

[RC_Drunkford]

MV Rudy is back!!!

[dbestpro]

Gay back in to finish off the Spurs.

[TheGreatYacht]

Fuck this drunk ass coach.

[Mugen]

:lmao Rudy coming back in to finish the Spurs off

[BatManu20]

:lmao Rudy coming back in to finish the Spurs off

:lol

[mo7888]

I don't see anyway Luka could be worse than Gay tonight as a small ball 5...

[spurs1990]

I can't imagine Spurs losing this game. It's the Hornets

[El Santo]

Pop must really want to lose this one bringing gay back in:wtf:bang

[LeBowen]

Saddest thing is tht if you call out Pop's bs anywhere but here, peasants start calling you a clusless hater.

It's not even regular dementia anymore, it's severe.

[Mugen]

I don't see anyway Luka could be worse than Gay tonight as a small ball 5...

Fucking Becky could have been a better option at the 5 than Rudy tonight tbh :lol

[Dverde]

I swear this team would be +4 in games won if Becky coached.

[RC_Drunkford]

Pop should be hoisted up too since he's the one who controls who's out there.

it‘s a long tradition of Pop to lose games against his former assistant coaches. He just wouldn’t be Pop if he didn’t gift them wins even if he has a better roster most of the time

[ace3g]

Missed Fts and Gay...

Rudy Gay bobblehead night on Wednesday. Who is getting one?

[NASpurs]

Saddest thing is tht if you call out Pop's bs anywhere but here, peasants start calling you a clusless hater.

It's not even regular dementia anymore, it's severe.

Yeah but how many championships have you been carried to?

[Mugen]

Why the fuck is Jak out? Ridiculous coaching

[Barfunk]

Can Pop challenge that?

[Kurgan]

Spurs have an alternative to Gay. Name starts with Luka. He was pretty decent the few games he did get real minutes. Unfortunately, with Gay back from Covid, he's got to "earn his stripes” and wait in line while the vet plays out his contract. Pop won't have it any other way

[Leetonidas]

True story tbh.

[Robz4000]

This feels more like a game where the Spurs just can't get over the hump. Bad way to start the most important stretch of the season.

We’re gonna suck until Popovich is fired because he’s not leaving on his own. There is no reason for this game to be close.

[poopbox]

Rudy been awful all night and we closing with him when we need defensive stops :rollin

Gotta sub Rudy out for Jak here tbh.

Yap this is trending for pop.

Rudy should of been iced in the first.. you could tell he was old man Rudy tonight.

Pop sees something else.. showcasing how old he is

Rozier hits a 3 right over Rudy :rollin

Why is Keldon on the bench.

Just terrible coaching by Pop leaving Rudy in who has been a disaster all night. The off season can't get here fast enough.

[ace3g]

Looks like Hornets will foul when up 3.

[mo7888]

Rudy deleting his Twitter account in 3...2...1...

Nice setup for a garbage Pop out of bounds play here. Some bullshit hammer play for Patty :lol
