Game Thread: Spurs vs. Nuggets - Fri. (4/9/2021) — 8:00pm/C

[Darius Bieber]

I just realized that our losing streak is at 5 now.

Longest in the league!

[Dejounte]

Some definite positives to take from this game:

- Majority of young core played well.

- Still a believer in the DJ and White backcourt.

- Gay and Patty (mostly) eliminated from endgame. Need to drop their mins. further.

- Lonnie looked solid in his return.

Know a lot of people on the Brooklyn train due to the LMA connection, I would much rather root for Denver though.

I think there was a stat that said a team never won a championship without having a top 10 defense. Brooklyn is bottom 10, I believe.

[Barfunk]

They just made one more shot than us. It's meaningless. :pop:

[Thomas82]

The tank is on.

Let's get it!!

[BatManu20]

There are 5-6 legit prospects in this draft and I wish the Spurs for wanting to try to get one of them, but it’s not gonna happen. The team is too prideful and will end up winning just enough games that we’re not picking in the top 10 imo. Definitely won’t lose enough to select in the Top-7. Other teams are tanking hard.

[Thomas82]

Feels like a lot longer than that tbh

It actually feels shorter to me.

[Thomas82]

Longest in the league!

Yeah, I see now.

It would take historical losing to get into the top 7. Top 8 is basically locked in.

[Dex]

Spurs are now 2 out of their last 12 so...yeah.

[MultiTroll]

How did Murray miss that tip in?

Ya i thought Porter fouled him on the way down the court. The 1st shove, while it could be incidental he went out of his way. How the f are you allowed to give someone a shove if offensive player makes zero initiation?

[Robz4000]

I see differently. They almost beat a hot Nuggets team tonight (granted with no Murray). I predicted Lonnie’s return would be a shot in the arm and I was right. They looked much better tonight and they have the pastor games. I think they win a few of the upcoming games in the schedule. Spurs are too prideful to just start immediately sucking and tanking in the manor I wish they would. They’re not bad enough for that. They’ll be better than most expect down the stretch imo.

Mavs - Doncic shits on the Spurs routinely
Magic - B2B, team hasn't won on the second night of a B2B this season
Raptors - Shitty EC team, but FVF has killed the Spurs in the past
Guests - Lillard, Nordic, and McCollum will have a field day against the Spurs' 3-pt "defense"
Suns - Booker and CP3 gonna tap that ass
Pacers - Just embarrassed the Spurs missing half their roster
Heat - Could see this one going either way
Pistons - Spurs should win
Pelicans - In NO? Not a chance
Wizards - Spurs should win

3-7 imo

Currently 25th according to lineups.com.
There are def question marks, I mean we still haven’t seen that trio together yet either.

Think the winner comes out of the east this year - Philly, Brooklyn or Milwaukee for my money.

It would be a hell lot more entertaining than the travesty of Miami was being in the Finals.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

good loss gentlemen. 1 more for the lottery :smokin

:pop:

[tbdog]

Tonight, he was playing along side walker.

[tbdog]

Spurs hadno business winning that game. Finally pop adjusted the rotations and the players gutted it out. Walker should start.

[GAustex]

White making plays at the end. When it counts. If the rest of the team had a brain or more talent he would be even better. I'd start Lonnie too but put Murray on the bench.

[R. DeMurre]

One step closer to the lottery. 0 minutes of experience for Samanic, 4 minutes for Vassell. Classic DeRozan, leading the starters in minutes played, while having the worst +/-. Silver linings: White & Murray, if combined with a legit #1 option, can be the back court of a seriously competitive team. Black cloud: Lonnie Walker is in his third straight year of appallingly bad metrics, and not getting any better.

[BillMc]

Nice additions to the signature, Bill. :tu That first blonde looks like she was built in a lab!

Oh...and I hope your prediction proves correct. This would be the type of game they win...one that no one expects. Or a 40 point blowout loss. Neither would surprise me.

Thanks Ed.:bobo Alas, these Sirens didn't make my prediction come through. :bang

[John B]

That was an entertaining game, but it’s one game closer to a lottery pick :bobo

[CGD]

It was a good game, better than Wednesday. Jokic is pretty damn good.

[R. DeMurre]

I still remember hyping up Jokic early on and talking about his incredible advanced stats, and people almost universally responding with "he sucks," "he's fat," and "there's a reason he was a 2nd round pick." Good times.

[Arcadian]

Hey look, we have the worst team in the entire nba.

[manu2timdynasty]

Fucking illegal is flopping all over the place. BUILD THE WALL

Wow haven't posted here in a while, been out there winning. Nice to know somewhere sitting in a pile of filth your STILL here with nothing better to do then watch this depressing team every game then come here to bitch.

AND nice taste in music there, buddy. Very trendy of you.

White has one good game all year in a loss and suddenly it's off to the bench for Murray? Lmfao

[GAustex]

Murray is like DDR he gets his own. At least he has some defense which is HIGHLY overrated.

[SPURt]

If wasn’t for the Spurs, Gay would be enjoying retirement right now but Pop is playing him like he is part of Spurs future for the next 15 years.
Definitely true and the most frustrating part of Spurs fandom in 2021. To make matters worse, his mins are not going to Luka.
