[heyheymymy]

Lakers suck

[edgar]

Easy W

[rjv]

lebron still a game time decision. i'd imagine he plays, though.

[pookenstein]

Fuck the Lakers.

[Mugen]

#TeamTank but I'd be okay with a W here. FTL for life tbh.

[GAustex]

No Forbes please

[Robz4000]

#TeamTank but I'd be okay with a W here. FTL for life tbh.

This

[Russ]

Here's what local ESPN radio in LA is saying about this matchup. After an agonizingly long (really long) and really agonizing Dodger postmortem, the host teased the next subject -- the Lakers-Spurs matchup and why it was critical for the Lakers. After the break, the host said this was a must win because the Lakers lost to two good teams (GSW and Phoenix) then barely beat a team with a really good player (Memphis) but now the Lakers are playing a truly bad team. Time to get it together and take care of business. A must win.

Personally, I think this is a must win game for the Spurs for pretty much the same reasons.

Should be fun.

[baseline bum]

Let's run these geriatric fucks off the court

As long as Westbrook plays Spurs got a chance

[Seventyniner]

As long as Westbrook plays Spurs got a chance

This. With Westbrook in and LeBron out, the Spurs have a very good chance to win. Flip-flop that and the Lakers cruise.

If LeBron does play I think the Lakers win by 6, if not I'll flip that to Spurs by 6.

[Budkin]

Wouldn't be surprised if we blew them out. They are not a good team right now.

[spurs1990]

They're on a roll with a one game winning streak which I imagine they want to extend to two games very badly.

[cd98]

It's so ingrained. I'd rather the Spurs lose to everyone but the Lakers and the Mavs. The two rivals during the Spurs best era.

[Dex]

FTL.

[TDomination]

I predicted a win here!

if we play with the same tenacity on defense but hit a few more 3's i think we win.

[lefty20]

FTL, always.

[spurraider21]

Spurs by 20+ tbh

[Seventyniner]

Looks like LeBron is out. Still won't be an easy game but the more shots Westbrook takes the better the Spurs' chances of winning are.

[PhantomDashCam]

Wonder if Spurs will start Poeltl on AD?
I personally would start KJ on him and bait the post play, double at times and force the perimeter shot.

If Spurs can keep the live ball turnovers down and hit their fair share of 3s, feel we can win this one convincingly.

Always hate that on broadcast it feels like the crowd is 40-50% Pro-Lakers. Is it like that in the arena?

Spurs by 11, or a Primo if you prefer.

[LkrFan]

Easy W
Yup - no Kang tonight

[LkrFan]

As long as Westbrook plays Spurs got a chance

:(

[Mugen]

:(

Sup Esteban? Hope you and the fam are well tbh

[HankChinaski]

Yeah, I'm wanting a blowout victory over the Lakers tonight. FTL for LIFE!

[james evans]

#TeamTank but I'd be okay with a W here. FTL for life tbh.
TANKING FOR WHAT??? I keep seeing posters talking about tanking for 3 seasons straight. What is coming out of college to tank for? Why do you guys want Popovich to continue drafting players that he isn't gonna play for a year or 2?

[DPG21920]

AD is an issue obviously - if Jakob and Co are up to the task there, SA can win.

[MannyIsGod]

With Westbrook playing the Spurs should be able to force an opponent over 20 tos again

[Joseph Kony]

Spurs should win this, Lakers are pretty trash and missing a bunch of players plus LBJ now, as long as that scrub Melo doesnt go off on us


tbh i dont remember a random scrub going off against us in any of the first three games. nice change from last year when it seemed like no-names were routinely having career nights against SA :lol

[Trainwreck2100]

That's cause they're the no names now

[Russ]

The line has gone from Lakers by 3.5 to Lakers by 1.0.

Lots of $$$ coming in on the Spurs.

[John B]

Spurs by 12. Everything should be clicking, including their 3’s to go in. They have to match the same defensive tenacity. Go Spurs Go! :flag::flag::flag:

[Darius Bieber]

More Lakers fans at the game than Spurs fans lol

[Darius Bieber]

The line has gone from Lakers by 3.5 to Lakers by 1.0.

Lots of $$$ coming in on the Spurs.

That’s due to the news that broke that LeBron isn’t playing tonight.

[Degoat]

Man I’m watching the lakers stream and they’re commentators are talking mad shit… Calling our 2nd unit a g-league team

[Darius Bieber]

We must have the lowest attendance in the league

[Degoat]

Lakers are going to have a lot of size against us with Jordan and AD starting

[Ocotillo]

Man everyone is predicting a Spurs win, makes me nervous

[Robz4000]

Man I’m watching the lakers stream and they’re commentators are talking mad shit… Calling our 2nd unit a g-league team

:lol basically what the Lakers were for most of the 2010s

[spurs1990]

No queen James takes a lot of the ooomph from a Spurs win. Nothing is better than knocking out the queen

[LkrFan]

Sup Esteban? Hope you and the fam are well tbh
:lol

Estoy bien hijo. ¡Espero lo mismo para usted y su familia! :tu

[Chinook]

Do the refs not even know what a whistle is right now?

[james evans]

WHY THE FUCK DO WE KEEP GUARDING WESTBROOKE AT THE 3 POINT LINE KNOWING HE CAN'T SHOOT????? Murray's iq can't be that goddamn low. Westbrooke is one of the worst 3 point shooters in the league and he keeps guarding him close leading to pick n rolls

[Dex]

DJ playing out of control again to start this game.

Dude needs to slow down and see the game. He seems to think he has to do everything himself.

Parker had the same problem, but at least Parker would hit his shots.

[Robz4000]

:lol Lakeref already

[itzsoweezee]

Questioning whether Murray’s defense is worth his putrid offense

[Slippy]

Jacob keeping spurs close . If not for his play on both ends spurs would be off to a terrible start.

Murray stil a alot of dribbling and pull ups. Is he running offense or his offense. as PG we need more.

[GB20]

Murray has started the season inconsistent so far. He needs to step up.

[itzsoweezee]

Murray - ostensibly a point guard - has taken 5 shots in five minutes

[spurraider21]

Murray has started the season inconsistent so far. He needs to step up.
no, he's been pretty consistent. just in a bad way

[LeBowen]

Our plays after a timeout have to be the worst in the league. Just horrible.

[Uriel]

Fuck the Lakers por vida.

[spurraider21]

who threw that inbounds pass coming out of a timeout? :lol

[james evans]

these commercials!!!! Every other basket is a commercial break.

[GB20]

I don’t hate Murray at all but I think Jones can run the team better than Murray.

[poopbox]

We making Deandre Jordan look like prime Wilt :lol

[poopbox]

What are we paying Chip England to do again :lol

[Kurgan]

Questioning whether Murray’s defense is worth his putrid offense

Murray has always been a neg impact player on offense his whole career. He's survived thus far because of his impact on defense. The problem is Spurs trying to shape him into a point guard when he doesn't have any natural point guard instincts

[Russ]

3-17. Spurs playing scared.

[james evans]

WHY THE FUCK DOES MURRAY KEEP GUARDING WESTBROOK 30 FEET FORM THE BASKET??? That's why they are scoring so easy. He's getting picked leading to easy alleys.. Murry and popovich can't be this fucking stupid to guard a quick player 30 feet form the basket that can't shoot.

[John B]

Do they practice shooting??

[poopbox]

What are we paying Chip England to do again :lol

[spurraider21]

jakob might be the best player on the team

[John B]

Finally! Go Lonnie!

[Dex]

God, we suck at threes so bad

[widowmaker]

Hella passing out of shots. Drive the fucking ball

[MannyIsGod]

This is easily the worst quarter we've played this season. Jakob basically keeping us in the game. I don't care about missed 3s bit they have to run breaks way more efficiently.

[John B]

jakob might be the best player on the team

Lab City Poeltl?? :lmao

[Rescueone]

I think you mean No Murray please.

[daslicer]

Wow another retarded timeout.

[Slippy]

Fuk spurs need that three. Need more spacing

Their bigs are altering spurs inside play.

Soon pop might to matchup on their bigs.. they playing voleyball on the spurs

[LeBowen]

I think it's time for Murray-White experiment to end. It just can't work.

[daslicer]

Deandre Jordan is having fluke game. I have watched all the Laker games this year and he has looked washed up and even worse than G-league talent. This is the first game where he looks like a solid NBA player.

[Kurgan]

God, we suck at threes so bad

Same issue every year. At some point you have to question if this is a coaching issue.

[Degoat]

This game is making my blood boil, everyone on the spurs is playing like garbage except jakob lol

[LeBowen]

Deandre Jordan is having fluke game. I have watched all the Laker games this year and he has looked washed up and even worse than G-league talent. This is the first game where he looks like a solid NBA player.

Easy to look like a solid player when you don't need to move away from the rim.
We have no spacing to force anyone to step out.

[HankChinaski]

Poeltl has been a monster this 1st quarter.

[MannyIsGod]

Poeltl has been a monster this 1st quarter.


This season. Been the best player on the team tbh.

[DAF86]

We desperately need some shooters.

[widowmaker]

Why do a lot of those dudes take their feet off the ground when they contest jumpshots.

[John B]

Great plays by Devin getting us back.

[Uriel]

After a terrible start, it's crazy we're leading this game after 1.

[Kurgan]

Lakers are behind even with the assistance from the officials and the horrible play from our starting lineup. Not bad

[Mugen]

Jak has usually started like shit as a Spur but he's been our best player so far to start the year tbh.

[Slippy]

Second unit did better along with Jacob.

[james evans]

we can win this game, but we've got to double off of westbrook. There is no need to guard a man on the perimeter that's shooting about 10% from 3

[GB20]

Poeltl has been a monster this 1st quarter.
That contract is looking better and better by the minute.

[LeBowen]

We desperately need some shooters.


But that means Bryn...

Pop really needs to get over himself, Primo is exactly the player this team needs.
Let the kid learn, it's not like we have anything to lose this season.

[spurraider21]

Lab City Poeltl?? :lmao
Lab City Poodle

[TheGreatYacht]

WHY THE FUCK DOES MURRAY KEEP GUARDING WESTBROOK 30 FEET FORM THE BASKET??? That's why they are scoring so easy. He's getting picked leading to easy alleys.. Murry and popovich can't be this fucking stupid to guard a quick player 30 feet form the basket that can't shoot.

They are guarding Russell Chimpbrook like Bruce Bowen defended Lebron James during the 2007 NBA Finals.

[John B]

Deandre Jordan is having fluke game. I have watched all the Laker games this year and he has looked washed up and even worse than G-league talent. This is the first game where he looks like a solid NBA player.

It was like that with scrub bigs last year playing like Wilt moments against Spurs. But you know what, I hope it stops this year with better paint defense.

[HankChinaski]

Spurs with the slow start and shooting drought still come out with the lead at the end of the quarter.

Murray...I don't really have anything good to say about him so far on the offensive end of the court so far tonight.

[spurraider21]

if Murray can't shoot, he's unplayable with AD/Jordan in the game.

[spurs1990]

Forbes will get the Lakers back in it

[HankChinaski]

And they need to pick up the tempo bringing the ball up the court and move more on the offensive end. Lakers don't respond well when they do.

[poopbox]

WHAT THE FUCK EUBANKS:wow

[james evans]

They are guarding Russell Chimpbrook like Bruce defended Lebron James during the 2007 NBA Finals.
lebron didn't have melo and AD on that team. We can't do that. Especially considering that westbrook is shooitng 9%(yes 9%) from 3 this season. There is no need to guard him out there. NONE!!

[james evans]

see what happens when you let Russ shoot 3s?

[TheGreatYacht]

It was like that with scrub bigs last year playing like Wilt moments against Spurs. But you know what, I hope it stops this year with better paint defense.

Cuz the Spurs are a midget team since Duncan retired.

[PhantomDashCam]

Carmelo Top 75 player defence :lol Dejounte dumping on him like Beadle on ‘The Irishman’

[spurs1990]

That brick 3 and TO pass by Eubanks. He's the Forbes of the Spurs roster

[Rescueone]

This team will surprise me if they win 30 games this year.

[MultiTroll]

Same issue every year. At some point you have to question if this is a coaching issue.
Not Dex.
He's a SuperSniffer. Intoxicated.

[Russ]

Spurs can't even fill the place for the Lakers.

[John B]

Cuz the Spurs are a midget team since Duncan retired.

Nah besides Patty, it’s pretty good size even Bryn at 6’3. And we had 7’0 Poeltl, Eubanks, Samanic and Aldridge. We actually have long athletic guards this year.

[poopbox]

Forbes passing up a wide open 3 to throw a terrible pass out of bounds :lmao

[lefty20]

lol Forms

[John B]

That was a shot Forbes!

[HankChinaski]

Take FUCKING FORBES OUT OFF THE COURT!!!

[james evans]

as soon as forbes gets in the game he turns the ball over lol. you cannot make this shit up.

[John B]

We can’t buy a bucket

[SPURt]

Why this hell is Forbes out there? He sucks at basketball

[MannyIsGod]

Fucking pop can't help himself with Forbes. God damn.

[tbdog]

Rondo is like 35 and is completely blowing by Forbes.

[MultiTroll]

:lol Forbes jumps to his left when Rondo went right.

WTF? :lol

[PhantomDashCam]

Did the refs get subbed at quarter time? Completely different style of officiating this Q

[Robz4000]

This might be the worst shooting team I've ever seen, and it doesn't help Forms is being given all these undeserved minutes.

[GB20]

Forbes keeps loosing his man.

[Dex]

Forbes being on the floor should be an instant tank signal.

If he is out there, we are not trying to win games.

[Rescueone]

Ughh, the NBA has turned into a three point shooting contest with everyone shooting 3’s instead of the easy 2.

[spurraider21]

Forbes will get a C-

[XDT76]

AHHHHH same old same old Forbes goes in missed all his shots and the oppo team goes on a run

[daslicer]

It was like that with scrub bigs last year playing like Wilt moments against Spurs. But you know what, I hope it stops this year with better paint defense.

Spurs bigs are terrible. I know I sound like hater but I think Jakob is overrated.

[MultiTroll]

Now he can't corral the super easy rebond.

FFS.

[Kurgan]

Forbes TO on offense followed up with his man blowing by him on defense. Pop claps on the sidelines for his pet. Pathetic

[weebo]

Get Brick Forbes outta there

[HankChinaski]

That better be the last of Forbes for the night.

[Robz4000]

:lmao Pop yelling at Keldon for one bad rotation while letting Forms get away with it every single possession

[LeBowen]

Getting torched by Rondo...

[foodie2]

Get Forbes out and take Michelle Beadle with him.

[John B]

Wtf is Bryn doing inside when he can’t buy a bucket either? He’s a catch and shoot, effing doing too much passing the shot and driving to the lane.

[poopbox]

We brought Bryn back to make 3's and so far he has been the second worst shooter on the team :lol

[james evans]

And here is Rondo, another guy that's not a great shooter, we're fighting over the screens and letting him drive instead of forcing him into jumpers. Does popovich actually watch film anymore or instruct the team on who can or can't shoot? Or do we just play every team the same regardless of personnel?

[HankChinaski]

How is the hype squad filled with fat slobs. I dont need to see beer guts from any kind of cheerleader male or female.

[Kurgan]

Jakob is the only player from the starting lineup that's been consistently good tonight

[Sugus]

:lmao Pop yelling at Keldon for one bad rotation while letting Forms get away with it every single possession


Forbes being on the court at all is a damn disgrace, and Pop is an absolute clown for picking favorites and berating some players over things he gives a pass to others for... How can there be true accountability when you're getting yelled at for doing something that your coworker messes up all the damn time without repercussion?



I haven't come closer to wishing injury on a player in all my years as I've gotten with this MOFO, tbh

[daslicer]

:lmao Pop yelling at Keldon for one bad rotation while letting Forms get away with it every single possession

:pop: Forbes has gotten over himself while Keldon hasn't. Forbes has also read a ton of Shakespeare novels which shows he has a high BB IQ.

[spurraider21]

We brought Bryn back to make 3's and so far he has been the second worst shooter on the team :lol
he's 1-12 from the field this season and 1-10 from 3

[Dex]

We brought Bryn back to make 3's and so far he has been the second worst shooter on the team :lol

I'd count him as the worst shooter considering he has the most attempts, and that is the ONE GODDAMN THING he is supposed to be good at.

Welcome to Spurs 2: The Forbes Strikes Back

[mexicanjunior]

Forbes working his way to another passing C...

[GB20]

I bet primo is telling himself, how the fuck Forbes ahead of him.

[Degoat]

ughhhhh I hate how we look so far tonight, guys playing scared and stupid. Would it kill pop to match the lakers size?

[Sugus]

Jakob is the only player from the starting lineup that's been consistently good tonight

That tends to be the case if you're watching closely, tbh. Then you have the superficial watchers who complain about him for covering up others' missed rotations and getting scored on. Just a day in the office for underrated bigs

[weebo]

How is the hype squad filled with fat slobs. I dont need to see beer guts from any kind of cheerleader male or female.

spurs are getting their shit pushed in and you're worried about the hype squad??? FOH

[Kurgan]

We brought Bryn back to make 3's and so far he has been the second worst shooter on the team :lol

Shoulda known there was something wrong when even Bud didn't want him back after winning the title

[spurraider21]

keldon going right at AD :wow

[NASpurs]

The make a wish tour for Forbes continues.

[spurraider21]

ughhhhh I hate how we look so far tonight, guys playing scared and stupid. Would it kill pop to match the lakers size?
who is our big 4 that can matchup with AD? you want to play jakob and eubanks together? :lol

this is why we needed a 4 that isn't keldon

[Teamduncan21]

mandatory forbes plays

[Degoat]

who is our big 4 that can matchup with AD? you want to play jakob and eubanks together? :lol

this is why we needed a 4 that isn't keldon

KBD or Thad Young pendejo

[Sugus]

I'd count him as the worst shooter considering he has the most attempts, and that is the ONE GODDAMN THING he is supposed to be good at.

Welcome to Spurs 2: The Forbes Strikes Back

I still can't believe we brought him back, and worse, play him big minutes with Primo on the damn team. You'll get your chance to play Forbes when Primo's down in Austin, Pop, why the fuck are you wasting his time right now? SMH

[poopbox]

Poodle getting cooked on both ends of the floor by Davis :lol

[John B]

Good try Jakob. Continue being aggressive

[spurraider21]

poeltl shouldnt be guarding AD one on one when they have another center out there. let him be the help guy off or Jordan/Dwight

[LeBowen]

Jakob overestimated himself.

[weebo]

purtle with the weak ass shit

[NASpurs]

Poodle sucks

[Sugus]

Good try Jakob. Continue being aggressive

Exactly, can't believe retard posters clown him for the effort... After spending all of last year complaining that he wasn't aggressive enough. This is what I tell ya when I say Poeltl is fuckin' underrated, he's in lose-lose situations most nights

[MultiTroll]

I'd count him as the worst shooter considering he has the most attempts, and that is the ONE GODDAMN THING he is supposed to be good at.

Welcome to Spurs 2: The Forbes Strikes Back
You keep talking like this and timvp will have you sleeping on the couch tonight.

[MultiTroll]

Lonnies last 2 shots show why we have to get a real coach who can continue to develop him.

Fantastic both shots.

[Mugen]

:lmao

[GB20]

he's 1-12 from the field this season and 1-10 from 3
Now do primo.

[spurraider21]

Jak is playing his ass off but that was a dumb foul

[daslicer]

:lol Jakob is going to be on Shaqting a fool.

[HankChinaski]

spurs are getting their shit pushed in and you're worried about the hype squad??? FOH

Because I don't overreact, despite how bad they have played this half Spurs are just a small run away from taking this game.

[spurraider21]

murray has made more 3 pointers in the last 2 minutes than Forbes has made all season

[rudwick]

Austrian Header Pass! :toast

[SPURt]

This is a fun team to watch

[LeBowen]

Murray had wide open teammates on both of those threes. He made the shots, but neither one was a point guard play.

Then he takes most of it back on the next few possessions.

[NASpurs]

I can't tell if Sean and Beadle are going to end up in a hotel room by the end of the night.

[james evans]

it's really making me upset that Murray is forcing a 9% 3 point shooter off the 3 point line and letting him drive to the basket. WHY???

[Sugus]

Because I don't overreact, despite how bad they have played this half Spurs are just a small run away from taking this game.

A poster that starts off stating the Spurs are "getting their shit pushed in" when they're down 2 points isn't even worth answering, just a heads-up my guy :lol:tu

[John B]

Let’s gonLonnie!

[MannyIsGod]

No Forbes in the 2nd half and limit the unforced tos and Spurs should win.

[james evans]

And you mfers gave up on Walker. Shame on you peasants..

[Leetonidas]

Entertaining half of basketball

[MannyIsGod]

Murray had wide open teammates on both of those threes. He made the shots, but neither one was a point guard play.

Then he takes most of it back on the next few possessions.

Oh god shut the fuck up.

[MannyIsGod]

Murray had wide open teammates on both of those threes. He made the shots, but neither one was a point guard play.

Oh god shut the fuck up.

[poopbox]

Between Eubanks and Forbes we got 2 of the 10 most useless players in the league. If you replaced both with corpses it wouldn't affect the team at all.

Maybe when Collins comes back he can be a real backup big cause Eubanks doesn't even have marginal nba talent

[LeBowen]

Oh god shut the fuck up.

Why? On the first three he made, Devin was completely alone on that side of the court. For like 3 seconds, Murray still didn't pass.
On the second one, Jakob was wide open in the paint.

If DJ can make those shots consistently, I have no probelm with him being a score-first guard. But he's showing no signs he can run the offense.

[itzsoweezee]

murray has made more 3 pointers in the last 2 minutes than Forbes has made all season

Lol. At least he’s been somewhat demoted. Hopefully that trend continues

[Mugen]

It's going to be so fucking annoying/hilarious when Lonnie and Devin are benched for that POS Bryn for long stretches this season tbh :lol

[Dex]

Collins for ubanks and Primo for Forbes would be the natural progression for coach

Ya they were 2 of the most notable lowlights.

The team fell behind when Bryn was in.. No matter the spacing he offered. He was a negavtive on offense and on d they attacked him.

Drew is trying to do too much and on D is just undersized. Seems overmatched tbh

[LeBowen]

Collins for ubanks and Primo for Forbes would be the natural progression for coach


Landale deserves a chance, he can't be worse than Eubanks.

[Robz4000]

It's going to be so fucking annoying/hilarious when Lonnie and Devin are benched for that POS Bryn for long stretches this season tbh :lol

:pctoss

[HankChinaski]

Some questionable decisions on the how to defend the specific players in the Laker's backcourt
Poeltl needed more help inside against Davis. After that monster 1st qrt he finishes the half with some cringe.
Forbes is choosing the absolute worse time to go into a shooting drought. 4 games and he is like 1/10 or 13.
Vassell is showing life on the offensive end.
Lonnie has made decent use of his minutes so far tonight.

Bates Diop looks good out there against this laker lineup.

Spurs need to come out fast and smart in the 2nd half and just push the lakers constantly.

[poopbox]

McDermott has done a bunch of nothing to

[HankChinaski]

Poeltl a little to hard with the bounce pass.

[TDfan2007]

Cool having Beadle on the broadcast

[John B]

Collins for ubanks and Primo for Forbes would be the natural progression for coach

I think that would be best scenario. I don’t know Zollins’ defense vs Eubanks, but it can’t be worse. And yes, Primo or Joe as a knockdown shooter should be getting Forbes minutes. Joe is exciting if he can be a knockdown shooter with his athleticism.

[Seventyniner]

Maybe I just don't watch enough basketball, but Eubanks has always just seemed like a good 3rd-stringer to me. I've never seen enough from him to say he's a solid 2nd-stringer.

Now, his contract reflects this. He is making less than $2M this season and next. I just don't think his ceiling is nearly high enough to warrant backup minutes.

Of course, the Spurs are most likely a lottery team so I shouldn't be concerned here. I've just never been a big Eubanks fan.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Derrick White refuses to make himself a threat to score and it is annoying as hell.

[Dennis the Menace]

Bryan Forbes does not belong in the NBA

[SPURt]

McBuckets is making balls McFull

[RC_Drunkford]

I agree Spurs are guarding Westbrook wrong. You need to dare him to shoot, instead DJ guards him out at the 3-point line and he can drive which is his strength

[Slippy]

Concurr with Sean on that one. Doug struggling with his shot didnt deter from a strong drive and dunk in between laker defenders.

[HankChinaski]

I'm okay with that foul. They need to put pressure on Davis like that keep him frustrated.

[Mugen]

I like the bounce in DJ's step tonight. Just gotta harness it consistently tbh.

[tbdog]

What type of moving screen call was that?

[Dex]

Refs:

Lakers hit Spurs: That was incidental

Spurs hit Lakers: HOW DARE YOU!?!?

Good to know some things never change.

[james evans]

I agree Spurs are guarding Westbrook wrong. You need to dare him to shoot, instead DJ guards him out at the 3-point line and he can drive which is his strength
and he's been doing it all goddamn night for reasons only he and popovich know. They are killing us on the pick and roll. Did he not see Chris Paul daring him to shoot the other night?

[Degoat]

Is Keldon or Dwhite gonna do anything positive in this game?

[slick'81]

Mcdermoot looking like brent barry there

[HankChinaski]

Fucking fattie needs his inhaler to dance. hahahaa

Pooodle power

[slick'81]

Flagrant

[slick'81]

Wtf broski

[Slippy]

Thats your fault DJ not Keldons. Too much gambling all game so far from him on d. Left his man there after he got picked.

[slick'81]

Pop gonna get tossed

[Robz4000]

:lmao holy shit these refs

[Leetonidas]

Wtf man fuck these refs

[HankChinaski]

WTF was that shit Westbrick. And it is a offensive foul!?!?!? The other night they called a flagrant on us for that shit.

[spurraider21]

jesus christ lakerrefs

[slick'81]

We want primo

[james evans]

omg I've never in my life seen anything like that in my life. Our player gets flagrantly fouled and we get whistled for an offensive foul.. wtf

[LeBowen]

Forget about incompetent refs, fuck that manchild piece of shit, that's how players get hurt. Scumbag.

[Kurgan]

Westbrook getting away with trying to injure Keldon. Fucking garbage refs

[slick'81]

Lol lonnie

[Chinook]

You can still have a flagrant foul even if it wouldn't be a regular foul. If not, you can call a technical foul too. Horrible call.

[BatManu20]

Lol Lonnie come on dude

[MannyIsGod]

Kelson looked like he was about to charge him.

[Dancelot]

That was literally the worst no call I’ve ever seen, while also being an offensive foul. Holy sh*t

[BatManu20]

Maybe try attacking the basket for once instead of settling for contested jumpers every possession? Just a thought.

[james evans]

"forbes is better than walker"

not my words

[BatManu20]

Lonnie game

[DAF86]

Lonnie :wow

[HankChinaski]

Why does Rondo keep getting away with the elbow pushes in the back.

[Sugus]

LFG Lonnie!!

[PhantomDashCam]

Hell yeah Lonnie!

[Slippy]

Terrible fast break comon spurs

[HankChinaski]

Bout time they pushed it down the court each change of possession.

[SPURt]

Lonnie is making me feel things in my downstairs

[Chinook]

Maybe try attacking the basket for once instead of settling for contested jumpers every possession? Just a thought.

Wrong game to complain about that. Lakers probably have the best rim-rprotection in the league, and the refs are clearly letting the players get away with contact.

[MannyIsGod]

Good recovery by the Spurs here. They were rattled after the refs bullshit.

[RC_Drunkford]

Lonnie on fuego!!!

[LeBowen]

Fuck these refs, Devin got hit across both arms by Bazemore on that drive before AD blocked him.

[slick'81]

Lonnie desperate to get paid

[Sugus]

Throwback to that retard M:lolnty saying Lonnie wasn't even an NBA player :lmao :lmao

[james evans]

see what happens when Lonnie gets minutes and the freedom to score now that Defrozen is gone? He didn't just get good this season. He was always capable

[Teamduncan21]

at least someone can shoot 3.

[HankChinaski]

Just run them through screen after screen. No half court sets. Push it down the court earlier in the possession.

[MannyIsGod]

Man sometimes Lonnie really can make you believe. No one has benefited more from demars trade than him.

[Dex]

This game is exactly why FTL exists.

They have all the stars, they get all the media hype, and the refs give them all the love even on the road so they can win their illegal bets...

but FUCK THE LAKERS, LETS GO

[Degoat]

Keep it going Lonnie!!!

[slick'81]

Is lebron playing?

[HankChinaski]

Lakers are too slow to respond. Not rocket science.

[Slippy]

Well done Lonnie.. breaking out with threes

[Chomag]

See how good of a player Lonnie can be when he shows heart, fight, and hunger

[Degoat]

I hope Eubanks hip checks Westbrook after that foul he gave Keldon
