Game Thread: Spurs @ Kings - FRI. 05/07/2021 — 9:00pm/C

[BatManu20]

Late start tonight in Sacto. Spurs are playing a tanking Kings team without their best young player Tyrese Halliburton who’s out with an injury. Don’t really see a way we lose this one. We snap our 4-game Road losing streak tonight imo.

[BatManu20]

Zion out for the season. So much for potentially passing the Pelicans in the draft lottery.

[Leetonidas]

Spurs win and the play in is all but assured most likely

[Robz4000]

Yep, winner of this is in the play-in.

[NASpurs]

Go Kings!!

[BillMc]

Spurs by 2

[spurs10]

Go Spurs! :flag:

[slick'81]

Spurs by 15.

10th seed is ours baaaby

[GAustex]

Yay 10th seed.
Yay!

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Feels like a Spurs win.

Spurs by 12.

[slick'81]

When does this spurs schedule actually get tough?

[timtonymanu]

Go Kings!!

[spurs1990]

Win or lose hope to see little of Gay and Mills tonight. Neither are watchable unless they're really on which is becoming quite rare

[RC_Drunkford]

Zion out for the season. So much for potentially passing the Pelicans in the draft lottery.

which scrub is going off tonight? at least Fox is out, he always seems to shit on Murray

[Robz4000]

which scrub is going off tonight? at least Fox is out, he always seems to shit on Murray

Holmes has a 20/20 game and Hield scores 35+ imo.

[PhantomDashCam]

Holy crap. Listening to the Kings feed and they just said “Sacramento playing what is likely it’s biggest game in the last 15 years.”

Damn…

[Fusternino]

Watching for Holmes especially. Is he as good as his stats say he is? Free agent target . . .

[RC_Drunkford]

why are we hitting all of our shots all of a sudden? Really need this L

[timtonymanu]

Come on Sacto

[Robz4000]

Let's go Kings. Beat these scrubs.

[timtonymanu]

why are we hitting all of our shots all of a sudden? Really need this L

The young guys need “playoff experience”

[RC_Drunkford]

The young guys need “playoff experience”

they won't win a play-in game no matter who they play, let alone get into the playoffs

[timtonymanu]

they won't win a play-in game no matter who they play, let alone get into the playoffs

Just enjoy the ride of watching Patty and Rudy chuck up shots for one extra game this season

[RC_Drunkford]

exactly DeMar double the post up and give up the open 3. That's how u lose

[Sugus]

Metu dunking all over the fucking Spurs every time we meet the Kangz :lmao :lmao :lmao

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

The damn channel to watch the game in Austin is stuck on a continuous loop of Law & Order. Lmao

[hoopdreams11]

three old guys on the floor equals bad defense

[PhantomDashCam]

The damn channel to watch the game in Austin is stuck on a continuous loop of Law & Order. Lmao

With Patty, Rudy and DDR on the court together, feels like we’re watching Bore & Disorder.

[hoopdreams11]

lead down to four old guys one on one chucking no rebounding

[Manu-of-steel]

WTF Pop. Mills, Gay, DDR in a line up? Tank mode?

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

With Patty, Rudy and DDR on the court together, feels like we’re watching Bore & Disorder.

lol

it is the strangest thing. The only channel acting strange is the channel the game is supposed to be on. Literally the same scenes are playing over and over and then gets stuck. Maybe my television is saving me from being disappointed again. Lol.

Gonna have to try a website I guess

[RC_Drunkford]

I don't know what's more exciting, this game or watching a pot of hot water boil

[poopbox]

Rudy old ass just lost the ball in mid air :lmao

[PhantomDashCam]

Vassell with the deflections. Great stuff.

[hoopdreams11]

get rudy off the floor

[RC_Drunkford]

So the Kings are down 3 starters. No Fox, Haliburton and Barnes. And we're only up 5? We might really be able to lose this :lol

[GAustex]

KBVO sucks

[poopbox]

We got to be one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in the leauge

[RC_Drunkford]

We got to be one of the worst teams in the league

FIFY. 20th in 3%, 30th in attempts, 29th in made 3 point shots

[poopbox]

How you let somebody sprint the whole court and dunk :lmao

[RC_Drunkford]

come on don't tell me Hield is injured too smh :pctoss

[Cardinal]

Hield down... Kings trying to do everything they can to not win this game

[Cardinal]

Nope Hield is back. Hope is still alive for a Spurs loss

[timtonymanu]

We got to be one of the worst 3 point shooting teams in the leauge

:pop: who needs 3s when you can have one of the best midrange iso closers in the league

[Robz4000]

This feels like a game where the floodgates will open for the Kings and they'll win by 20 tbh.

[hoopdreams11]

pop trying crazy lineups no point guard

[RC_Drunkford]

why are the refs helping us now? Man WTF?

[poopbox]

Kings without half their team and we still losing :lmao

[timtonymanu]

Woohoo go Kings!

[hoopdreams11]

pops fault put gay back on the floor

[RC_Drunkford]

Let's go Kings!!!!

[hoopdreams11]

see what happened

[Sugus]

DeRozan carrying us to a W here would be disgusting... I want to see Luka tonight tbh

[timtonymanu]

DeRozan carrying us to a W here would be disgusting... I want to see Luka tonight tbh

That’s the reason why we see the play in regardless. Good luck having Curry shoot 3s while Demar counters with his midrange/layup shots

[Kurgan]

Demar ball = struggling to beat a Kings team without Fox, Barnes, and Haliburton. Who the fuck convinced the world this guy was a star? Imagine if Dumbar spent his entire career in the West...he's be regarded in the same light as Lou Williams

[Robz4000]

:lol DeRetard

[Joseph Kony]

low iq play

[hoopdreams11]

wright and harkless bout to go off dumbmar with the clearpath

[PhantomDashCam]

DJ’s jump passing has been deplorable lately. Pick it up young buck.

[Kurgan]

DJ’s jump passing has been deplorable lately. Pick it up young buck.

The Celtics game ruined him. His disappearance in the 2nd half and the resulting chokejob seems to have destroyed his confidence.

[timtonymanu]

2 fucking made 3 pointers so far for our team :lol.

[poopbox]

2 of 17 from 3 on mostly wide open looks

[poopbox]

Spurs can't make a 3 and heild made one from damn near half court:lmao

[boutons_deux]

Kings killing us with 3s

[NASpurs]

So blessed.

1390865847586000905

[Kurgan]

Patty Mills golddigger wife probably furious at him for playing himself out of a fat new contract. He's been horrific since March

[timtonymanu]

So blessed.

1390865847586000905

Jeff McDonald is such a faggot.

[NASpurs]

Jeff McDonald is such a faggot.

:lol San Antonio sports media.

Coming from the same guy that said Spurs fans have no right to complain about the current team because the Spurs have won enough in the past. Time to give other teams a turn

[poopbox]

Rudy about to check in, Kings about to put this away :rollin

[poopbox]

Already a 5 - 0 run since Rudy came in

[Kurgan]

Kings killing us with 3s

Welcome to the modern NBA. Spurs are like cavemen going up against modern infantry. At some point(when Pop is gone) they'll realize you can't win with midrange ball

[R. DeMurre]

Is Dieng injured?

[Robz4000]

:lol San Antonio sports media.

Sounds like his mentality when it comes to his wife tbh.

[itzsoweezee]

So blessed.

1390865847586000905

Dude is a complete imbecile

[The Truth #6]

Is Dieng injured?

I assumed Pop was trying out his playoff lineup.

[timtonymanu]

Posts here under tbdog.

It's funny cause Demar has a lot of good first halves and we still lose. What's so great about that, Jeff McFaggot? Leading us to treadmill team status at best.

[Robz4000]

An old-fashioned Gay-Guy fight.

[Darius Bieber]

Getting fucking cucked by Kyle Guy :lmao

[timtonymanu]

Really annoying that we are gonna win this game

[davi78239]

Really annoying that we are gonna win this game

I know

[tbdog]

Murray stepping up.

[davi78239]

I thought the Kings were hot??

[BatManu20]

Kings are dog shit. Trotting out some G-Leaguers to play us tonight.

[itzsoweezee]

Really annoying that we are gonna win this game

Still a chance demar gives it away when pop puts him back in

[timtonymanu]

The Kings are worthless. No wonder they haven't sniffed the playoffs in 15 years.

[Robz4000]

I still believe in the Spurs' ability to choke this.

[timtonymanu]

Congrats sniffers. One more extra game of Demar, Rudy, and Patty leading the way while the young guys get experience watching from the bench.

[davi78239]

Kings piss me off!! Come on!! Thought y’all won 4 straight!

[Manong Ginobili]

Luka led the team in scoring the other day and is DNP-CD. JFC

[tbdog]

It's crazy how the Spurs know DDR is getting doubled but won't take the open 3.

[itzsoweezee]

Still a chance demar gives it away when pop puts him back in

Here we go!

[Leetonidas]

:lmao this team

[boutons_deux]

crunch time collapse, +11 to +3

[Robz4000]

Knew the Spurs had a choke in them for tonight! Kings got this.

[davi78239]

Here come the kings!! Honestly I really feel spurs win this still. Ugh

[tbdog]

Johnson gives Wright 5ft space. Murray gives up an and 1 and TO leading to a dunk. But let's blame DDR for missing a jumper.

[Manong Ginobili]

Go SAC!

[boutons_deux]

sac 10 points in one minute

[itzsoweezee]

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. You didn’t mention the shot defense along with the missed

[Sugus]

:lmao

[davi78239]

Well shit…

[boutons_deux]

demar misses FT in crunch time

[Robz4000]

DePression will find a way to choke.

[tbdog]

I’m sure it’s just a coincidence. You didn’t mention the shot defense along with the missed

Where was the shit defense during that stretch? I'll wait.

[BatManu20]

That’s game. Spurs are headed for the play-in. We should’ve blown this team out though. They’re legitimately horrible.

[Robz4000]

Welp, guess not. Fuck.

[timtonymanu]

:lol Mills guarding Curry or Ja Morant

[timtonymanu]

That’s game. Spurs are headed for the play-in. We should’ve blown this team out. They’re legitimately horrible.

Some people think they will have a second gear in the play-in. :lol Warriors or Grizzlies will destroy this team.

[Sugus]

Man, Lonnie's so fucking good when you give him the freedom and get him the ball. And he's far from being as efficient as he could be.

Looks like the game is settled sadly...

[Robz4000]

This clinches the play-in for the Spurs unfortunately. Get to watch them get emasculated on national television a third time this season.

[davi78239]

Well the rest of the schedule looks really tough. But I bet they end up winning at least two of those cause the other team will half ass play..

[GAustex]

Yay! 10th seed! Yay!

[Rito3d30]

years of mediocre ahead

[Robz4000]

Well the rest of the schedule looks really tough. But I bet they end up winning at least two of those cause the other team will half ass play..

Spurs could lose out now and will still fall ass-first into the play-in. Kings and Pels are effectively five games back with five to play.

[timtonymanu]

The only thing that can salvage this Spurs team is if Demar walks away. I already know Brian Wrong will give him the max so we can stay in this mediocre state for years.

[SPURt]

Lonnie’s lack of confidence holds him back so much. He shows flashes of what could be, frustrating he hasn’t put it all together yet.

[boutons_deux]

sac with 10 pt to get within 3, and Spurs respond with strong, winning finish

[Degoat]

Look on the bright side boys! We’re gonna either have a lottery pick or will play into the playoffs! I wish we could have tanked for a better pick but I’m confident the spurs will eventually make the right choices during the off-season

[GAustex]

Pretty impressive game thread-5 whole pages. Interest in the Spurs well is waning

[SpurPadre]

I've never been more frustrated at a Spurs win in my life.

[4lifecowboy]

Lonnie’s lack of confidence holds him back so much. He shows flashes of what could be, frustrating he hasn’t put it all together yet.

I didn't even watch the game, but I will say is lack of confidence is mostly on Pop, he should have been forcing responsibilities on Lonnie like he did with White.

frpm day 1 they’ve begged him to shoot more and take more responsibility. So again as always ya’lls assumptions would be false.

Go on somewhere with that BS. There is nothing consistent about Pops approach to his development.

[BillMc]

Missed the game, but thanks to Dex I can watch it on rewind. Is it worth it?

incorrect. They’ve been consistent with the message and treatment since day 1. They told him they thought he was Jimmy Butler 2.0 and was gonna hold him to that standard.

They told Lonnie Walker that they thought he was Jimmy Butler?? You are nuts. Or they are.

[TimDunkem]

Jimmy Butler 2.0 they said :lmao
