The battle of black and white television. Harden might be making his comeback tonight. He’s listed as a Game-time Decision. Let’s get it.

Lonnie is just so fun to watch when he's aggressive. A couple of dunks on either KD or Harden and it would make my day, even if it's a lost.

We've basically locked in the play-in, so play the young ones.

UGG... The Weird er Beard is back... :( And of all teams he decides to come back to play against after his injury, & it's against the Good Guys, hmmm... Lonnie will have his hands full against him, but he's been decent with guarding him. Hope Hairy Harden will be rusty tonight. GSG!!!

So I wonder what the Spurs are going to do here. Will they:
1) Try to compete for the remaining games to stay in rhythm for the elimination game
2) Compete for most of the game then put in Patty + Rudy to tank the game and see where the chips fall
3) Start resting guys and be in the best position for the draft AND the play-in

If DeRozan plays well - Spurs have a shot of winning
If DeRozan plays bad - Spurs lose
If DeRozan doesn't play - Spurs have a shot of winning

Murray continues showing greatness
Spurs just need to let Harden go into hero mode and hope he is rusty. Any shots he takes are shots that Durant isn't taking, and that's better for the Spurs.
Oh, and hope that Harris doesn't drop 10 threes on us.
EDIT: looks like Harris is out too
Still so weird seeing Nash as a coach.

Murray hits a couple shots and suddenly gets tunnel vision. 7 shot in 8 minutes...that's Kobe level.

Here comes the elderly brigade
Just like to note that Lonnie has 0 shots and has barely even touched the ball.
Slippy
05-12-2021, 07:29 PM
Feels like watching a 2man spurs offence here.
Demar or DJ need to move the ball.
YoungbuckMurray
05-12-2021, 07:29 PM
Defense is awful and Lonnie hasn’t even got a touch ffs
Leetonidas

This is gonna get ugly quickly
YoungbuckMurray
05-12-2021, 07:32 PM
Get dieng in over trashbanks
Murray is pissing me off right now. Needs to realize there are 4 other guys on the floor
Even Parker with his "dribble-dribble-dribble" passed the damn ball occasionally.
Robz4000
05-12-2021, 07:32 PM
No Irving, no Harden (yet), and Durant on the bench but the Nets are steamrolling the Spurs.
Leetonidas
05-12-2021, 07:32 PM
Dieng is a superior player to Eubanks, no reason he shouldnt be ahead of him in the rotation
Chinook
05-12-2021, 07:34 PM
Defense is awful and Lonnie hasn’t even got a touch ffs
It's like the opposite of what should happen. Guys are being hidden on Lonnie. He needs to take them off the dribble every time, but if he doesn't have an opening, he'll give the ball up. Meanwhile, Johnson, Murray and DeRozan keep forcing the issue and not passing out unless things get desperate.
I hate the way this team plays, especially on offense. I hated it in the bubble, and I still hate it.
YoungbuckMurray
05-12-2021, 07:34 PM
So we are getting unplayable Rudy tonight...great
Airball to end the first quarter.
That seems about right.
Leetonidas
05-12-2021, 07:34 PM
:lmao Spurs getting locked up by the Nets bench scrubs
This is starting to feel like another game that is going to be 2 quarters of garbage time...and Harden hasn't even stepped on the floor yet.

this is the Spurs team I know. Anyway weather we lose out or win all the remaining games, they 10th in the west regardless

Feels like we’ve been beaten on back cuts for like half of the Nets points…
Feels like we are losing by way more than 6, but I'll take it going into the half.
I guess its not reasonable to expect us to put up 87 point first-halfs every game.
DUMB FUCKING COACH
FORCING DUMBAR BALL MID RANGE SHIT
NOT ONE FUCKING PLAY DRAWN OR RUN FOR LONNIE
STILL GETS 9 POINTS
INSPITE OF HIS COACH
CALLING TIME OUTS
TO GET THE KIDS TO RUN HIS SHIT OFFENSE
INSTEAD OF THE FLOW that GOT THEM BACK IN THE GAME
FUCK THIS COACH AND HIS FANS
You do realize that posting in all caps actually makes you seem dumber, right?

A step in the right direction, I guess... I rarely see him catch and shoot. Usually it's dribble, dribble then shoot.
Slippy
05-12-2021, 08:35 PM
They are scoring on wide open threes. while Demar and DJ take turns . Third quarter going same as the first.
Slippy
05-12-2021, 08:38 PM
Can't believe every three Demar has attempts ends up being a 2.
Thats three scores gone the same way.

Are people still rooting for Nets to win championship even after LMA retirement?
There are so many preeners, fake tough guys on that team. So much entitlement…really don’t like ‘em.
They’re also really good. Could be a factor for me too :lol

They’re the prime example of how shitty the nba has become. Entitled stars leaving teams to team up for an easy path to a championship and sadly this will keep getting worse as long as AIDS Silver is in charge. I hate to see them win as much as the clippers so that likely means they will win it all this season lol
Nets getting all the foul calls now

I've come to grips that dude is a headcase. Number one reason to move on. Actually THE main reason.

Spurs have played the Nets twice this season, twice Claxton has had a career night.

It's absolutely psychological with DeRozan. He feels completely comfortable taking a jump shot one step inside the three point line, and completely intimidated being one inch behind it.
Dejounte

KBD always at the right place at the right time. Keeper.

Yeah, you can tell he got annoyed when Reddick asked him why he doesn't shoot threes on his podcast. Somebody should remind him that his idol(Kirby) chucked threes too.

Harden smacked down on his hand in garbage time and he immediately grabbed at his hand and had to exit the game.

Drew got a point here. Get Lonnie 15 shots per game and he will easily give you 20 a night, probably even more. Due to him being such a good 3-point shooter I think he's a better first option than DeRozan.
Degoat
05-12-2021, 09:44 PM
I think y’all are wayyyy overhyping Lonnie, I hope I’m wrong but he doesn’t have that killer instinct
PhantomDashCam
05-12-2021, 09:53 PM
Perfect boxscore game.
Nets shoot 61% from the field, shoot 43% from 3 on 12 makes and attempted 27 FTs.
Our rotations, communication on switches were slow to non existent, isoball re-appeared to the detriment of the team through the 1st and 3rd quarters.
Hope the Luka injury isn't anything serious.

He gives you 16.2 on 14.5 shots. Just league average 3 point shooter.

I think at his best he's going to be a good player that gets you 14-18 points a game but never an all-star.

I have the exact same issue. no matter how far or close the three point line is, when i pull up for a three, psychologically i feel i dont have enough strength and end up pushing the shot out and it just looks odd.
Kurgan
05-12-2021, 11:12 PM

Just goes to show how much of fluke the Spurs win against the Bucks was. Even the worst teams in the league can look dominant if they hit 16 threes on 60% efficiency.

Really it just takes practice. You get to a point where it’s muscle memory and you don’t even think when you shoot. I would always end my practice in pivot turn 3’s. Either standing facing away from the basket and turning and shooting or spinning the ball back to me as a pass and catching turning and shooting. Do that enough times, day after day, and shooting 3s becomes really easy

We all should know the win against the Bucks was a major fluke. Every dog has it’s day. Theirs was the previous game.
