Ah Suns resting all their guys… might only be a 20 point loss instead of 40.

Winning this game could cost the Spurs two spots in the draft. They can't be that dumb, can they?

It's the stoppable force vs the movable object. Who will prevail!?

We’re resting Mills; sounds like the tank is stopped tonight.

I'm starting to get worried about your mental health.

[GAustex]

Drew be raging lately

[longhorn]

Winning this game could cost the Spurs two spots in the draft. They can't be that dumb, can they?

Narrator: "They can, and they are."

[timvp]

The Price is Right must have really gone downhill, tbh.

[LeBowen]

What's the point of playing the starters?

Should lose to have a worse record than Pacers and Hornets.

[GAustex]

Tell em Drew
Tell em you just getting started
Tell it

[Darius Bieber]

Our starters losing to the Northern Arizona Suns :lmao :lmao :lmao

[GAustex]

Hopefully this is pops second to last game.

[Dejounte]

Omg Drew is a bolded donk now. At last!!! I'm laughing my fucking ass off right now

[Dex]

because your life must be this shit posting dinosaur of a site.

reading into post on a fucking making diagnosis

oh yeah you bolded donk spurg

Good talk.

[Rocalcio]

MVP Rudy !

[longhorn]

As though taking developmental minutes from Samanic all season long wasn't enough damage to the Spurs future, Rudy's going to singlehandedly knock us two spots down in the lotto order.

...and for his next act, he'll convince PATFO to give him a fat loyalty contract that we will inevitably buy him out of.

[Rocalcio]

Can someone shut this guy ?

[Dex]

Who let Trump into the Game Thread?

[longhorn]

Drew from the Woodlands going fully unhinged is more entertaining than this game tbh :lol

[SpurSpike]

Have no fear

Spurs Bolded Donks and EYETESTER Box score game watchers


Don't know if you've noticed, but your one of them now! Congrats, lol!

[Sugus]

Interesting game. I thought there'd be more of an audience.... We're watching something historical, tbh. DeMar DeRozan's last regular season game as a Spur. Pretty bittersweet.... Or just sweet :lol

Agree with others that Drew going cray-cray is great entertainment, too. You got me blocked too, D? This is a cry for help if I've ever seen one... I wonder what happened between "I'm leaving this site forEVER donks!!!" and now, tbh. It doesn't look like SpursTalk is good for your mental health, you should reconsider leaving. Especially now that you're a Bolded Spurg Donk like the rest of us :lol

One of us, one of us....!

[BlackAndWhite]

Lonnie is terrible today

[cd98]

Why are we not tanking this game like the last one?

[Sugus]

Why are we not tanking this game like the last one?

You wanna give the illusion of competitiveness, so the team doesn't get demoralized before the play-in. Especially after a blowout loss like yesterday's.

Fear not, the Spurs will not win this game.

[LeBowen]

https://i.imgur.com/1lTWWA6.png

No reason to lose a couple of draft spots because of this game.

Winning here would just confirm everyone's completely clueless.

[cd98]

No reason to win this game. But losing it provides good lottery odds. So why play DJM or DDR?

[longhorn]

Bench mob probably has a higher probability of winning this game than our starters would

[Dejounte]

They're tanking the 4th now. Very good.

[longhorn]

Tre has such a great feel for the game. Lock that dude in a gym and don't let him out until he can shoot.

[Sugus]

Weatherspoon determined to yet again shit on the Spurs' season :lmao

[Robz4000]

:lol Spurs are such an incompetent franchise these days

[Darius Bieber]

Winning a meaningless game to crash our draft stock :lmao :lmao :lmao

[longhorn]

Next-level incompetence :lol

[Barfunk]

Winning a meaningless game to crash our draft stock :lmao :lmao :lmao

It's no one's fault. You're not going to convince these guys to stop competing. "Hey, 3rd unit, we need you guys to purposely lose so we can draft your replacements." Just not gonna happen.

[Darius Bieber]

:lmao :lmao :lmao

[timvp]

:pctoss

Thank you Moore!!!

God bless E’Twaun Moore

God bless E'Twaun Moore.

E'twaun Moore saving the day

[timvp]

God bless E’Twaun Moore

[ace3g]

of course Spurs allow a 3 on the last defensive play of the regular season...

[GreekSpursfan]

Of course

[Barfunk]

But yeah, I'd rather lose this game of course

[Barfunk]

Ok, awesome.

[Joseph Kony]

about as enjoyable of a loss as you can hope for tbh

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Phew, they knew what they were doing :hat

[Rocalcio]

Drew from the Woodlands Out

Thanks god...

[Dex]

Good game, good loss. Gave the main core some run and almost the thrill of victory for the bench crew...but didn't hurt our place in the draft standings. Now 2.5 days off before the play-in game which is the longest rest the Spurs will have had in months.

Crazy end to a crazy season...at least we have one more game left and let's hope we can surprise some people!

:flag:

[Arcadian]

Do we prefer Memphis or GS?

[timvp]

Do we prefer Memphis or GS?

The Warriors are actually really good at home. The Grizzlies are better on the road. I'd pick to play the Grizzlies, tbh.

[Rocalcio]

Same for me, I don’t want to face Curry in a win or go home game.

[ace3g]

Same for me, I don’t want to face Curry in a win or go home game.

Yeah considering our awful 3 point defense.

[TD 21]

The Warriors are higher ceiling (at least in a one-off, because of Curry obviously) and lower floor, so if you're interested in winning, Grizzlies. I'd rather lose to them than be embarrassed by the former, too.

Can any non homer really imagine this team winning either way though? The second White went down, so too did whatever hope they had of sneaking into the playoffs. It's actually for the better, as it ensured that can't do further damage to their lottery odds.

[Russ]

I'd pick to play the Grizzlies, tbh.

Me too. Payback for that series in '11.

They had no chance to do anything, we did, but they knocked us out. Now we're in the exact same position.

[BatManu20]

Spurs can and likely would beat the Grizzlies imo. Not sure about the Dubs.

[Robz4000]

Spurs can and likely would beat the Grizzlies imo. Not sure about the Dubs.

Spurs will get smacked down by either tbh.

[Rocalcio]

Yeah considering our awful 3 point defense.

He scored 9 3pts again tonight, for a total of 46 points.
So Grizzlies it is !
