GT: Spurs @ Raptors - Apr. 14, 2021 - 6:30 PM CT

[look_at_g_shred]

I don't remember the last time i started a GT. Excited to see Lonnie man the second unit. He's looked so smooth since returning from the wrist injury. Demar revenge game. Win or lose.. let's get it! Go Spurs Go

The last two wins could have them feeling confident and good about themselves. I like them winning even though I like them getting a higher pick as well. Dang it, let's go Spurs!

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Hopefully we won't make Chris Boucher look like an all-star again. Spurs by 5. :flag:







We're 4 games out of the 6 seed...so not completely ludicrous to dream about that possibility.

:spam:

[cjw]

Most of the Raptors guard rotation is out, which helps (or if you ask some around here who want to tank, hurts):

been liking what I see from Eubanks. I think he holds his own vs him when they match up. Not sure we have any others that can match him size and speed wise.

[Darius Bieber]

Classic trap game for the Spurs. A team missing half their roster somehow always wins against us.

[John B]

Spurs Injuries: Trey Lyles - Out (ankle), Gorgui Dieng - Out (Shoulder)
Raptors Injuries: Kyle Lowry- Out (Rest), Fred VanVleet - Out (Hip), DeAndre Bembry - Out (Hamstring), Paul Watson - Out (Covid-19 Protocols), Jalen Harris - Out (Hip)

Spurs win 3rd in a row?? Demar beasting against his old team. The hell with tanking :lol. Go Spurs Go! :flag:

[John B]

A 3rd straight win tonight might just get this team back in the winning attitude.

[BillMc]

We're 4 games out of the 6 seed...so not completely ludicrous to dream about that possibility.

:spam:

Yep. If we're going to make the playoffs might as well avoid the play-in and get the highest seed. We might even have a chance against a Murry-less Denver.

[JuneJive]

An expected W.

[BillMc]

Spurs by 7

[cd98]

I believe in the tank, but I can see the Spurs aren't tanking.

[poopbox]

Lowry out for rest :rollin

[KingKev]

Watching the pregame show from Toronto. I almost never watch Raptors basketball because Canadian basketball analysts are plain bad. DDR is a god to these guys. They even had a mini segment on Jak as a difference maker ON BOTH SIDES of the ball. Painful.

[ace3g]

Lonnie's pregame fit had that Marty McFly vibe going on.

Two early 3s, hopefully that is a sign of more to come.

[ace3g]

*Make that three 3s.

[MVPCues]

Are these announcers the worse homers in all of the NBA?

[KingKev]

Are these announcers the worse homers in all of the NBA?

The Raps feed? As a Canadian I can whole heartedly say they are up there. They hardly understand basketball; too busy making Drake references every chance they get.

[LeBowen]

This has to be one of the worst defensive lineups in the league.

4 awful defenders and an average one.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Does Gay contribute anything. I mean that last play he let the guy easily get the rebound then the ball comes to him and he is just lazy getting up the floor for the buzzer beater like WTF

[spurs1990]

That lazy effort by Gay at the end of quarter. May as well sit him in games like this

[Sugus]

Does Gay contribute anything. I mean that last play he let the guy easily get the rebound then the ball comes to him and he is just lazy getting up the floor for the buzzer beater like WTF

I mean, I know you're probably being hyperbolic (and not saying I like his undeserved minutes over Luka at all), but he gives you a body at PF/small ball C, he gets some rebounds, and most importantly, is one of the only players on the team that can reliably get his shot off in isolation, from the 3pt line, bullying mismatches on the block, etc. He can just get you shots.... Making them is another matter, though :lol

[Sugus]

That lazy effort by Gay at the end of quarter. May as well sit him in games like this

Agree with this, too, though - he hasn't been playing well at all. "Complacent" is a word I'd describe for his performance in the game so far, just doesn't have any fire whatsoever. Get me some Luka tbh :hungry:

[Sugus]

I've been really liking Lonnie's game since he's come back. Great to see the wrist isn't bothering him anymore, it shows in how confident he is in all areas of the game

[boutons_deux]

RB Spurs 13 vs 21

[Leetonidas]

Spurs struggling against a bad team missing their best guys yet again

[Robz4000]

:lol Spurs

[YoungbuckMurray]

This team cannot rebound

[YoungbuckMurray]

Shoot the ball FFS

[Sugus]

Scrub of the night going off against us: Yuta Watanabe

[spurs1990]

That train-wreck possession could've been prevented if Derrick White just shoots a wide open 3 he had

[SPURt]

Such a winnable game but these fools aren’t do diddly outside of Patty

[longhorn]

Agree with this, too, though - he hasn't been playing well at all. "Complacent" is a word I'd describe for his performance in the game so far, just doesn't have any fire whatsoever. Get me some Luka tbh :hungry:

Pop would rather play Patty at the 4 than give Luka any significant minutes.

[Sugus]

Pop would rather play Patty at the 4 than give Luka any significant minutes.

You ain't wrong :depressed

[Sugus]

:lol that turnover borne explicitly due to DeMar's straight up mental inability to shoot even a corner three :lmao

[EasyMoney]

Demar disappears too much. There comes a point where you have to assert yourself and try to take over. Too many trips down the floor where he doesn't even touch the ball or look for a shot

[YoungbuckMurray]

Trash Demar showing up tonight. Embarrassing performance

[rastaspur]

I'm changing to the Raptors feed. Why does bill insist on calling keldon Johnson "big body" ?

That nickname effing sucks. Spurs announcers are awful.

[Leetonidas]

God dammit White quit hanging your head on every fucking miss

[Robz4000]

Literally every other NBA team looks comfortable finding and taking open threes. Spurs struggle just with the concept of three pointers.

[spurs1990]

Mills may shatter the single game 3pt mark of 8 this game

[longhorn]

DisneyWorld Derrick is feeling more and more like a mirage unfortunately

[EasyMoney]

The spurs are attempting more 3s than usual and of course demar is a ghost out there. Not a coincidence

[Robz4000]

With the Raptors playing a giant lineup it gives the Spurs the opportunity to play big themselves and throw Samanic in there but of course Pop responds with midget ball.

[MVPCues]

The Raps feed? As a Canadian I can whole heartedly say they are up there. They hardly understand basketball; too busy making Drake references every chance they get.

Yeah, that's them.

[Leetonidas]

So Vassell doesn't play anymore or what

[spurs1990]

Luckily DeRozan kept them in it. Only down 1 to a feisty Raptors club

[Sugus]

I have such an awful feeling about this game :lol

And yeah, Vassell's been increasingly been on the outside looking in with regards to his minutes in the rotation, I feel like we used to see a lot more of him, like 15-20 a night. Would like Luka playing too, but alas...

[mo7888]

So Vassell doesn't play anymore or what

Who?

:pop:

[KingKev]

The Raps are loaded with young, no name players who are leaps and bounds better than Jak, Walker IV and White. Can’t comment on how Vassell and Sammy stack up as they are glued to the bench. I don’t think Spurs fans understand how average Walker, White and Jak are. The three of them combined with 2 firsts probably wouldn’t score you Siakim.

[BillMc]

Who?

:pop:

Sad but true

[Robz4000]

:lol Spurs are gonna lose this

[Sugus]

oof DJ

[Leetonidas]

Jesus this team is depressing to watch

[YoungbuckMurray]

This team is a complete joke. Starts from the top with pop he’s washed

[Kurgan]

Murray is nowhere near a good enough shooter to justify all the chucking he does

[KingKev]

Murray is nowhere near a good enough shooter to justify all the chucking he does

he literally has to do everything himself. Only guy who scrambles, plays D, rebounds and hustles all day every day. He deserves to take a few ill advised shots.

[alfahdlan]

Length of raps is the difference

[YoungbuckMurray]

Spurs getting blown out by a bad raptors team missing all their best players

[Leetonidas]

This team has absolutely no identity on either side of the floor

[boutons_deux]

Middle of 3rd, 1 starter barely in double figures

shooting 41%

[Robz4000]

Are you seriously telling me Luka Samanic couldn't help against all these forwards?

[Robz4000]

White hurt again

[Kurgan]

Middle of 3rd, 1 starter barely in double figures

shooting 41%

Our starting backcourt is an inefficient joke of a duo. Murray/White combining for 5 makes in 19 attempts is not gonna cut it in the modern nba.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Are you seriously telling me Luka Samanic couldn't help against all these forwards?

pop too stubborn. Him and Vassell need to sit for trash ass vets. So tired of the denial F**k

DeRozan with the hammer once the game is lost :lmao :lmao

[Robz4000]

Honestly feeling more and more like the Spurs are gonna double down and throw the max at DePression, especially if Pop is gonna stick around. Becoming more and more apparent he wants nothing to do with the young guys.

[YoungbuckMurray]

[spurs1990]

wish Spurs play could Orlando every game. I feel they'd easily beat them nearly half the time

[spurraider21]

ugly last 10 minutes tbh

[SPURt]

Pop going with Patty and Gay the entire 4th until now with only one stop? It’s everything I hate about this season.

[LeBowen]

Every L when Devin and Luka are DNPs is a W.

[Kurgan]

he literally has to do everything himself. Only guy who scrambles, plays D, rebounds and hustles all day every day. He deserves to take a few ill advised shots.

:lol maybe he should just focus on having a good game instead of trying to do everything and fail miserably at it. He ain't Lebron

[RC_Drunkford]

great game. Glad I only tuned in for 3 minutes

[YoungbuckMurray]

Honestly feeling more and more like the Spurs are gonna double down and throw the max at DePression, especially if Pop is gonna stick around. Becoming more and more apparent he wants nothing to do with the young guys.

i guarantee this is what happens. So tired of pop this team needs a new voice and new direction. It needs to go young. No reason Devin and Luka shouldn’t be in the rotation just boggles my f’ing mind

[Slippy]

Dont get pop. Lonnie was once again a spark. He was getting team easier scores.

Pop gives him no mins in the 4th . Spurs down 13

Ya they cant get stops in the 4th. These two shouldnt be part of your closing team. Too many non defenders if you count Demar as well.

If you think DJ is the problem you don’f understand basketball Kurgan. The fact you refer to him as “IG Baller” coupled with your handle “Kurgan” also tells me you have likely never hooped at a competitive level.

[YoungbuckMurray]

This team is so dumb. Waste 18 seconds then foul. Genius

Let's just say count yourself lucky. On the plus side Lonnie and Eubanks looked good.

[Sugus]

Honestly feeling more and more like the Spurs are gonna double down and throw the max at DePression, especially if Pop is gonna stick around. Becoming more and more apparent he wants nothing to do with the young guys.

Why'd you say so? The Spurs and DeRozan still haven't arranged an extension despite the signing window having been open for a while now, while previously also failing to do so due to a reported breach in the salary he'd get paid. It's been reported (yes, we don't know for sure, but still) that DD will take a look around in FA, and there's some teams that could pay him significantly more than he'd get here. Not to mention he doesn't particularly look like he enjoys playing in SanAn right now, and the team isn't doing well at all, which also factors in whether the FO will consider him worth keeping at a near-max or max price slot.

And remember, the entirety of SpursTalk once swore up and down that they were bringing back Forbes and Beli.

[spurs1990]

Even the Toronto announcer got ticked off at the Spurs fouling there

[spurraider21]

let 20 seconds run then foul lmao

[KingKev]

Didn't watch. How shitty did we look tonight?

It was a collective effort!!

[ace3g]

Dejounte 3, 112-115

[NASpurs]

And of course this dumb fucking team will continue to win 1 and lose 1 'til the end of the season only to get bounced out of the play-in and get a shitty lottery pick.

Can you challenge a travel?

The SL always changes every season, especially after unsuccessful seasons. You re-sign DeMar, who goes? Change is happening after this season and DeMar is the likely change. We went into this season with expecting LMA and Lyles as starters.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Gave away over 30 seconds on just not fouling quick enough. Team stinks and is horribly coached

Forms/Beli aren't DePression tbh, and it comes back to doubling down on their decision to send Nephew to Toronto for him. Spurs can offer as much as anyone, and I'm worried they'll do it so they have a name to sell fans; casual fans around SA love DePression. Also need to consider Pop and how much he wants DePression back. We already know the franchise will bend over backwards for whatever he wants.

If you think DJ is the problem you don’f understand basketball Kurgan. The fact you refer to him as “IG Baller” coupled with your handle “Kurgan” also tells me you have likely never hooped at a competitive level.

The fact that you think Murray had a good game tonight indicates that you're a retard. He was easily one of our worst players today. Imagine being so pathetic to stan for a fucking role player.

[spurs1990]

Every non-big tonight took at least 4 three-point attempts except DeRozan who didnt' attempt a single one.

The last DeRozan 3pt make was on 3/20. 14 games ago.

[PhantomDashCam]

We have been in more games than this where the Spurs would wave the white flag...yet down 13 with 3 mins to go we go all in on a condensed schedule...

[cd98]

Spurs need to lose some games for lottery position. This is a good loss for them. Competitive games that they lose at the end.

[Kurgan]

Forms/Beli aren't DePression tbh, and it comes back to doubling down on their decision to send Nephew to Toronto for him. Spurs can offer as much as anyone, and I'm worried they'll do it so they have a name to sell fans; casual fans around SA love DePression. Also need to consider Pop and how much he wants DePression back. We already know the franchise will bend over backwards for whatever he wants.

Writing is on the wall. Spurs aren't extending Dumbar. Anytime Spurs really like somebody, they lock them up early. The fact that they haven't extended him already means they're not that desperate to hold onto him.

Oh, I agree completely (who was it that I was arguing with the other day who was telling me the Spurs would have better attendance if they shipped out all the vets and like, started Luka or something...?). I was just saying, beyond the conjectures that the Spurs will be averse to change and want to retain DeRozan at all costs, there's no real indicator that they are more likely to bring him back. It'll be a second season of missing out on playoffs with the team "built around" him, he'll want to get a big bag for his last contract, and a small-market team in the middle of a global-pandemic-induced financial instability period won't be the place to get it.


...is what I tell myself during these predictable losses. Pop does love his vets after all :lol

[RD2191]

Just got in. WTF happened? Did the Raps sit players? Tf? :lol

[Kurgan]

Spurs played like the group of inconsistent scrubs that they are. Nothing left but to embrace the treadmill and the incoming 13th pick that goes along with it. If we're lucky, we might draft another role player!

[Floyd Pacquiao]

_emar deloser led spurs folks :lol

Geezus fuck. :lol

[alfahdlan]

48-63 raps on rebounds. 41 on defensive rebounds/2nd chance pts. That’s why.

[KingKev]

Never said he had a good game only argued he deserves some slack given he has been arguably our most consistent player during a season of inconsistency “Kurgan.” Tell me you have a mullet without actually telling you have a mullet Kurgan

[Degoat]

Didn’t get to watch the game, look forward to seeing the grades. No chance we make the playoffs losing games like this

[KobesAchilles]

Somehow Pop will get a C in the grades

[timtonymanu]

rofl those wanting to tank or fighting to make the playoffs, doesn’t look like we’re getting either. Another year, another non lottery pick with no playoff spots. This team is annoyingly inconsistent

[Dejounte]

[timtonymanu]

Of course these faggots lost to a team sitting a bunch of players again

[NASpurs]

https://twitter.com/tom_orsborn/status/1382518102718521347?s=19

Ah yes, the physical stature... that's a new one.

[longhorn]

About to pass Golden State in the lottery standings if they can hold their 21 point lead in the second half.

13th pick here we come.

[Dejounte]

[timtonymanu]

Maybe stop signing useless vets and prioritizing character/culture over talent

[Darius Bieber]

Ah yes, the physical stature... that's a new one.

No reason to keep tanking if we just blow another lottery pick, like we did picking Vassell over Haliburton.

[NASpurs]

Then where's the hope in turning this around if this team can't sign marquee free agents while also drafting shitty players? I guess I still have some hope they can draft quality players.

[slick'81]

Might as well keep praying for the playoffs because spurs are fucking their lottery chances up

[timtonymanu]

That’s what’s annoying about this team. Same shit as last year, can’t decide if they want to fight for the playoffs or be in the lottery. They are doing both and it’s making them stuck.

[Jordan Jackson]

Deep down in your hearts you had to know this game was over when Pop rolled with Patty and Rudy to close the game. They were never going to get the stops or rebounds they needed to give themselves a chance to win.

Pop just can’t help himself when it comes to these vets. Too bad they didn’t lose more games earlier - another middling pick does nothing to help them get out of the shit they’re in.

yup - ^ nailed it

i knew when rudy and patty were in and lonnie was out it was over

[MultiTroll]

Anyone recall this possession when we still had a longshot?
Score Raps 112-106. We need Stop-Trey to pull within 3.
If we can't get a steal, need to foul to stop clock ASAP.
Wth? 1st foul Foul to Give. Ok. WTH is with waiting 16 more seconds and then Gay.... ONLY TO FOUL and give FTs afterall? :bang

1:03 DeMar DeRozan makes driving dunk (Rudy Gay assists) 106 - 112
55.4 Dejounte Murray personal foul 106 - 112
37.9 Rudy Gay personal foul

[ace3g]

OT, the shot Luka just hit to win game:dizzy

Insane talent. He single-handedly is the argument pro-tanking. Just an absolute franchise player.

[Kurgan]

:lol giving role players a pass because they've been less shitty than the other role players on the team.

NOBODY on this roster should be above criticism. You're placing Murray on a pedestal he has no business being on. How about waiting until he makes an all star game before sucking his dick? Imagine being a player fan of somebody averaging 15 ppg on a treadmill roster. Embarrassing.

[PhantomDashCam]

Wow just watched it. Even his own team was stunned by what happened. Just bonkers.

Wasn't the rumour that the Sacramento Kings were offering up pick 2 to the Spurs in the Luka draft for nephew?

What coulda been if true.

[duncan2k5]

Luka would barely be playing, and definitely wouldn't be given the freedom he has in Dallas

[GAustex]

^ yep drunk ass control freak can’t coach without Tim Duncan would figure a way to screw up Luka

[mo7888]

I hope that offer wasn't on the table and we passed on it.... it would be a generational mistake...

It was contingent on Kawhi agreeing to sign an extension with them. All bets were off when Kawhi announced he wanted to be a Laker.

Kawhi never wanted to be a Laker...that was the LA media trying to coerce the public into pressuring Kawhi there...if he did he would have went there when he was a free agent for a guaranteed ring...hate him or love him, u have to admit Kawhi is more of a competitor than LeBron...he would NEVER play with LeBron...I said this before he made his decision, all while ppl were running with this notion that he wanted to play for the Lakers...that would have NEVER happened...did he want to go home to his wife and family? Sure...but not to Lakers

He wanted to be a Laker before Lebron signed with the Lakers. The draft happens before Free Agency that was when Kawhi and his team announced he wanted to be a Laker. They backtracked the moment Lebron signed with the Lakers in FA. Kawhi ultimately wanted to be in LA but the Lakers were his first choice up until Lebron took that away from him so he had to settle for the Clippers.

I can't say Kawhi is more competitive than Lebron. I doubt Lebron would have sat out a whole entire year faking injuries like Kawhi while being on a championship level team. No way does Lebron sit out a year when he could possibly win a ring like Kawhi did in '18.

[Kurgan]

Yup, Kawhi was all in on being a Laker until Lebron got there. The day after, his team suddenly did an about-face and said they were open to being traded to the Clippers, Sixers, and the NY teams.

[weeks]

Lol @ a guy who sits an entire year of his career peak nursing a bs injury is "competitive" what a joke. Some of you guys are worse than girls at a concert, these dudes wouldn't piss on you to put you out and here you are stanning for them years later. Pathetic

I don't blame Kawhi for sitting out...if what was said is true, u don't call ur franchise player a pussy for being injured...that's the thing that caused him to not want to play...y'all have this slave owner mentality that players have to put up with disrespect from the franchise owners...Spurs fans especially feel like our FO is so morally superior to everyone else's... LeBron sat out the entire second half of his first year as a laker because he knew they wouldn't win a ring

You're going by a "he said, she said" post from a fucking message board. When your argument is centered around that, it pretty much makes your point meaningless. There's literally no proof that that's what happened and you even have other posters who supposedly have inside info countering it. You're running off of pure gossip and it's pathetic.

[weeks]

Well that's true tbh, I forgot about that whole pussy comment. If that's true then I can understand it a little better. He's still a bitch tho

[Dex]

Luka would barely be playing, and definitely wouldn't be given the freedom he has in Dallas

Do you ever stop bitching?

I swear the Spurs could draft God and you would be sitting behind your computer complaining that they didn't draft Allah or that Pop would ruin both.

If Tim Duncan really did know you, he would slap you upside the head and you would have it coming.

1. Reading comprehension I said this "I doubt Lebron would have sat out a whole entire year faking injuries like Kawhi while being on a championship level team." Did Lebron sit out a year whenever his team was a championship contender? The answer is no. Kawhi on the other hand did when he sat out the whole entire '18 season. That team was more than capable for winning a title and Kawhi just pissed it away. I can't see Lebron in the same situation doing that.

2. GTFO with that slavery crap. You will never ever convince me these guys are slaves considering they are getting millions of dollars. This is the best fucking job in the world out of all the sports by far when it comes to bang for the buck. These guys have it much better than baseball,hockey,football,soccer players. Kawhi faked injury he could have played but decided he wasn't going to play simply because he wanted to go to LA.
