[heyheymymy]

Refs went ahead and preemptively called two fouls for luka last night.

That's okay, the nba is a business you just gotta be the better team.

GO SPURS GO!!

[NASpurs]

1-4 never felt so good.

[Darius Bieber]

Should be another moral victory tbh

[slick'81]

1-4 never felt so good.

Or "fun" to watch,tbh

[Harry Callahan]

I'm afraid moral victories will be a recurring theme all year long.

The Spurs simply don't have the firepower to deal with the top 15 teams in the league right now.

I've enjoyed some of the changes in style this year with the younger guys running the show now. Other teams have more experienced closers and its pretty apparent even after only four games.

[Degoat]

Who starts in place of Doug McBuckets? I’m hoping Devin Vassell

[Mugen]

THE TANK ROLLS ON, LET'S GO BABY!

[heyheymymy]

Murray with 21/12/15/2/2 last game is pretty big time. The 9-24 was mostly late game bad shot selection as he got gassed and the game intensified, which he is working on.

One thing we all need to remember is that this is only game 5 and guys usually take 10-20 games to settle into their rhythm and get their legs underneath themselves so I think a little extrapolation is in order. With the guys skewing younger now, some real time personal development will be something to watch for too.

These games have a lot of potential for getting tighter. Players getting into season shape still, young guys adding to their game still, and a lot of new guys learning the offense and developing team chemistry all something you can reasonably expect to refine the system and get better as a team.

I still remain pretty optimistic we have a chance to hit pop's record which hopefully garners us some media glow since that now results in real life W's on the court.

Pretty great target for this season honestly, for not really contending. We cleared the dead weight like everyone here asked for so young prospects have tons of room to develop and will do so, will be a fun storyline to chase pop's record, and if not (and even if so possibly) get one of the best picks we've had in decades when we are possibly looking one leader away from being elite again.

Future is bright just hang tight and trust the prospects.

[RD2191]

Should be another moral victory tbh
:rollin

[poopbox]

McDermott out will mean more Forbes :depressed

[itzsoweezee]

Spurs are not winning anything if Murray's leading the team in shot attempts again.

[Leetonidas]

The only question is will Luka have a 30, 40, or 50 point triple double :lol

[John B]

Thanks for your insights. It’s a lot better reading than most Debbie-downers on the board. Why they even bother just to whine like little girls :lol

I like Vassell to start and continue his hot shooting. Just please don’t put Bryn as the go-to knockdown shooter.

Spurs by 12 :flag::flag::flag:

[heyheymymy]

Man, honestly we've been fans of such an elite franchise. We were winning like 70% of all our games for sustained eras. Not many fans get that experience so I'm grateful for that ride.

It's been a long time since the fans have been a part of a rebuild and it's kinda exciting. developing talent, picking through draft gems, maybe a slick trade. Something new for a change. Obviously sucks to suck but I can find some thrill in seeing what blossoms.

[LeBowen]

Tbh, force Luka to be the scorer. We can live with his scoring, because the rest of their roster is inconsistent. If they don't get enough shots early on, they're usually useless and have bad shooting nights.
And attack him on defense, don't let him rest.

The rest of their roster is pretty bad and Kidd is a clown.

Another moral victory would be nice.

[RC_Drunkford]

Another L. Vassell should start, but I could see Forbes starting too. You know Pop likes to keep the bench unit in tact.

my favorite match up tonight: Boban vs. Eubanks :lol

[EasyMoney]

Get ready to see bryn start. And they go small. Thad and jock will still somehow get 0 minutes.

[RC_Drunkford]

Ok so Porzingis is out. Brown and Burke are out. Boban questionable. Spurs should still somehow lose this

[NASpurs]

Ok so Porzingis is out. Brown and Burke are out. Boban questionable. Spurs should still somehow lose this

It'll be a close loss at least because the guys are trying hard. Once they lose enough and tune Pop out, those losses will become routinely 20 point losses later in the season. Can't stop the tank!

[SpurPadre]

I'm afraid moral victories will be a recurring theme all year long.

The Spurs simply don't have the firepower to deal with the top 16 teams in the league right now.

I've enjoyed some of the changes in style this year with the younger guys running the show now. Other teams have more experienced closers and its pretty apparent even after only four games.

FIFY.

FTM

Well put. :tu

We have been EXTREMELY lucky to witness the greatness that we did. Very few sports fans get to experience that much of an extended period of excellence...and we did it as the San Antonio Spurs.

But that wasn't bound to last forever, and now we are in a new chapter.

People out here are still acting like Tim, Tony, and Manu are still lacing up. News flash....Dejounte, Derrick, and Lonnie aren't Tim, Tony, and Manu....and no one should expect them to be.

[spurs10]

Obviously sucks to suck but I can find some thrill in seeing what blossoms. Yes it was an incredible ride. Also let's be honest. the first 10 games are ridiculously against the best teams in the league pretty much. The schedule gets better. Hope McBuckets isn't out long. Word on him?

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

McDermott out will mean more Forbes :depressed

Fvck!

[spurs1990]

Get ready to see bryn start. And they go small. Thad and jock will still somehow get 0 minutes.

If he starts he better durn well show out. He's on the verge of being permanently seated at the back of the bench with this heretofore 1-12 FG start.

[mo7888]

I'd guess KBD gets the start to keep the 2nd unit in tact...but I'd rather see Vassell or LW..

[HankChinaski]

Vassell should get placed in the starting unit with Lonnie then KBD off the bench good time to stretch out some playing time for Jock with McDermott out.

[talkspurs]

It'll be a close loss at least because the guys are trying hard. Once they lose enough and tune Pop out, those losses will become routinely 20 point losses later in the season. Can't stop the tank!

I caught the end of the report on 4 when they were talking to KJ and he did not seem happy. I seemed like he had been benched or something. Since I dont see anything on here about it Im guessing that is not what happened. Also with McD out would be replacing 2 starters. He said a few times we just have to trust pop.

[spurraider21]

Lonnie is starting

[Leetonidas]

Nope. KJ starting. Lonnie is in McDermotts place

[spurs1990]

Spurs came to play. They're gonna blow out Dallas

[HankChinaski]

Wass that a finger roll for Poeltl?

[HankChinaski]

Spurs look way more relaxed and in control tonight than versus the Lakers.

[PhantomDashCam]

Apart from KJ’s quick two, ideal start.

[RC_Drunkford]

Team is coming out focused. Dallas ain’t really that good outside of Doncic. If the young guys win this that’s a good sign.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Always hate these starts lol

[LeBowen]

MVPoeltl.

[Robz4000]

Couldn't of scripted a better start tbh. Gonna suck when they blow this lead though.

[RC_Drunkford]

This defense is incredible

[alfahdlan]

20

[spurs1990]

Okay 18-3 score when Forbes checks in...

[james evans]

Don’t get excited by the score. This means more minutes for Forbes.

[KDKSpurs24]

Big first quarter leads usually never last in any game. Mavs should get back in it eventually. It happens. I hope this game is an exception and we lead big the whole way though

[spurs1990]

Welcome back to the NBA Brun Forbes

[NASpurs]

Man Fvck Forbes though, I hate that guy :lol

He could make his next 100 threes and I would still say Fvck!

[LeBowen]

Oh no, if Bryn starts making shots he'll play more minutes.

[XDT76]

Yap a big lead and Forbes hits a 3, 15 mins for him tonight

[james evans]

FOrbes hit a 3. 10 more minutes added to the rotation tonight.

[heyheymymy]

Tell Porzingis to get his ass out here

We stacked

[james evans]

Yap a big lead and Forbes hits a 3, 15 mins for him tonight
Lol. I swear to god I didn’t see your post when I made mine.

[heyheymymy]

Unga bunga

Forbe eh shots ungh minutes

[RC_Drunkford]

Not the Eubanks Forbes Diop line up :lol

that‘s a G-League squad

[james evans]

Pop has Eubanks and Forbes in. He’s trying to blow the lead. They are the new Diaw/West

[spurs1990]

I don't like this lineup with all three DLeague players on the court - Forbes, ubanks, KBD

[LeBowen]

Idk how bad does Eubanks have to get for Landale to get some minutes.

[RC_Drunkford]

Idk how bad does Eubanks have to get for Landale to get some minutes.

It doesn’t matter how bad he plays. He needs to be injured for Jock to get minutes

[james evans]

I don't like this lineup with all three DLeague players on the court - Forbes, ubanks, KBD
I guarantee you there don’t another coach alive that would play these 3 together in an NBA game.

[MannyIsGod]

Hate this fucking lineup.

[LeBowen]

This has to be one of the worst lineups in NBA history.

[RC_Drunkford]

Of course Pop had to fuck it up by playing dumbass line ups. I can’t wait for grandpa to retire

[james evans]

I fukin hate popovich bullshit

[NASpurs]

Lonnie and Forbes in the lineup together. I'm scared.

[Barfunk]

I don't think Pop liked the lead, it was probably too disrespectful to the Mavs.

[heyheymymy]

They gotta figure out a way to stagger the starting lineup personnel longer this is too much of a bench drop off

[NASpurs]

Forbes thinks he's a NBA player. How cute.

[HankChinaski]

Fvck Forbes just shoot or get off the court on that one.

[MannyIsGod]

What a stupid fucking lineup. At least play Tre.

[james evans]

Welp looked like we all predicted this. Get a big lead and put in the worst goddamn lineup on earth.

[Uriel]

Lead collapsed when Poeltl left the floor. He really is our MVP.

[NASpurs]

CIA Pop playing shitty lineups for teaching moments.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Tre Jones needs to be in the game over Forbes man.

[RC_Drunkford]

Is there any other coach in NBA history who sabotages his own team as much as Pop does?

[Dex]

Every single time, they go right at Forbes when he is on defense...and it usually works.

Why the hell is he still on the floor?

[NASpurs]

Is there any other coach in NBA history who sabotages his own team as much as Pop does?

It's like the guy wants to get fired but he has tenure.

[spurs1990]

18-3 without Forbes
7-12 with him

With a ugly travel mixed in

[james evans]

Is there any other coach in NBA history who sabotages his own team as much as Pop does?
No.

[RC_Drunkford]

Reminds me of Pop playing Belinelli/Mills/Bertans line up against the Nuggets only for them to give up a 15-0 run. Then the old man called time out and let the same line up get on the floor again. After that the 30-point lead was gone and we lost the series right then and there. Vintage Pop :lol

[Degoat]

The Fck is DWhite doing with these hesitation drives where he slowly drives into the paint.... Shoot, Drive, Or Pass

[james evans]

It's like the guy wants to get fired but he has tenure.
He seriously likes losing.

[Leetonidas]

Lol what a dumpster fire

[NASpurs]

Their D-Leaguers are better than ours.

[spurs1990]

The stink of the Dleague trio has rubbed off on the real players

[Barfunk]

Get your 26 wins Pop and can yourself.

[Uriel]

We are ice cold.

[Uriel]

MVPoeltl.

[Leetonidas]

:lmao

[Gibbz]

I don't mind KBD playing some if he's doing good things, but playing him at the same time as Forbes (should never play), Eubanks (should play very sparingly), and Lonnie (has to run with a better lineup) in the FIRST QUARTER to blow the lead is fucking unimaginable to the point that surely Pop is trying to lose--right?

[NASpurs]

Poodle trying to save us with his offense. Dark times.

[Robz4000]

:lol didn't even take a full quarter to choke that lead

[Barfunk]

Is there any other coach in NBA history who sabotages his own team as much as Pop does?

Doubt it.

[Uriel]

Wow. We blew a 20 point lead just like that.

[LeBowen]

Idk if I should be happy or sad that shit like this doesn't affect me anymore.

[emanueldavidginobili]

I hope the 12th overall pick Primo had fun and learned a lot in D League training camp today lmfao

[YoungbuckMurray]

This team is awful

[MannyIsGod]

Momentum is so big which is why you can't squander it with stupid g league lineups

[Leetonidas]

I don't mind KBD playing some if he's doing good things, but playing him at the same time as Forbes (should never play), Eubanks (should play very sparingly), and Lonnie (has to run with a better lineup) in the FIRST QUARTER to blow the lead is fucking unimaginable to the point that surely Pop is trying to lose--right?

But he sent Primo to the Gleague which doesn't even have a game for over a week :lmao

[HankChinaski]

Spurs have been creating good looks just deciding on the worst time to go on a shooting drought.

[SPURt]

This is some ugly ball, yikes

[NASpurs]

I hope the 12th overall pick Primo had fun and learned a lot in D League training camp today lmfao

Is there a "Get over yourself" camp in Austin?

[heyheymymy]

Damn spurs went cold from players to the coaches

[RC_Drunkford]

I don't mind KBD playing some if he's doing good things, but playing him at the same time as Forbes (should never play), Eubanks (should play very sparingly), and Lonnie (has to run with a better lineup) in the FIRST QUARTER to blow the lead is fucking unimaginable to the point that surely Pop is trying to lose--right?

by now even the biggest sniffers should know that he’s just that stupid. Same like playing an all bench line up in the NBA Finals 2013 :lol

[spurs1990]

I mean Primo should be pumped knowing Coachovich plays D League alumns in bunches

[Barfunk]

Some are not joking in the least when they say that Pop would've sent Luka Doncic to the G-League. Most out of touch coach in the fucking league at this point, hands down. Love Pop and what he's done for the franchise, but I can't wait till he retires.

[spurs1990]

29-30 when Forbes begins his 2nd stink.. I mean stint

[GB20]

At this pace it is going to take Pop three years to get his 26 wins.

[hoopdreams11]

Where is chip? are they working on shooting

[widowmaker]

This version of the Spurs are more pussy than slick81

[Chomag]

Some are not joking in the least when they say that Pop would've sent Luka Doncic to the G-League. Most out of touch coach in the fucking league at this point hands down. Love Pop and what he's done for the franchise, but I can't wait till he retires. Even Michael Jordan would have probably not played his first couple of seasons if he was under Pop, and I'm not even kidding although I wish I was.

[Barfunk]

Even Michael Jordan would have probably not played his first couple of seasons if he was under Pop, and I'm not even kidding although I wish I was.

It's sad that it's not even a joke.

[HankChinaski]

Man, Mavs went scolding hot at the 3pt line this qtr.

[Degoat]

Wow we suck lol

[RC_Drunkford]

At this pace it is going to take Pop three years to get his 26 wins.

i said that before the season. He gon have to coach another year

[PhantomDashCam]

Somebody give Bryn a red bull. The guy is so slowwwww with his decisions. Shoot it or pass it dude.

[Dex]

Yeah, this is a coaching botch job...unless we are trying to tank.

We were up 20 late in the first quarter....and then Pop tried to get cute and put out the third string unit instead of putting the foot on their throats.

Bad coaching? Or subtle tank?

You decide

[HankChinaski]

Good job Vassell closing out and staying on your feet.

[HankChinaski]

Spurs warming back to close the half

[Seventyniner]

I'm at the game, and a few minutes ago the announcer said "foul on Sminny-Fith". I can't stop laughing at that.

The announcer is D-minus tier, and not only because of that spoonerism.

[GB20]

i said that before the season. He gon have to coach another year
That is why the At&T has a lot of empty sits because most people have given up on Pop.

[Chomag]

Forbes = instant run for the other team

Almost always

[spurs1990]

Forbes total luck 3 but credit for showing up a bit here

[HankChinaski]

Solid Defense there

[HankChinaski]

Tip your hat on that one.

[SPURt]

I think I might have to jump on the Forbes band wagon… I mean, he’s a jizz rag on defense but he’s not going anywhere

[Uriel]

Bryn Curry to the rescue.

[MannyIsGod]

I can stomach Forbes when he shoots like this. Especially with 4 defenders around him. But please no more d league lineups.

[LeBowen]

Bryn showing us who's the only guy on the roster with a ring. :lobt2:

Fucks sake, this isn't even funny anymore.

[spurs1990]

Alright Forbes there you go putting some work in

[heyheymymy]

Forbes = gives spurs the lead at the half

[james evans]

we are fucked!!! Forbes has hit 4 threes. he's just earned himself a 3 year extension.

[Degoat]

Will still find a way to lose probably, but by Jason Kidd is a terrible coach. I bet mavs end up in the playin tournament.

[RC_Drunkford]

well I guess that means Forbes starts for Lonnie from now on

[HankChinaski]

If he is dropping shots he is fine. But he has this bad habit of being slow to make a decision. Two times earlier in the game he had a clean simple 3pt shot and put the ball down to try and be crafty and failed miserably each time.

He just needs to stick to being a spot up shooter and put up at least passable defense out there and it is sufferable.

[HankChinaski]

Same halftime show as last night just in dallas now.

[PhantomDashCam]

Disappointed with Derrick’s passiveness during that 2nd quarter haemorrhage.

It’s ironic that Pop thinks going to Forbes is the answer when the game goes to a 3PT fest when it was his initial insertion that led to the Dallas barrage.

Hopefully Lonnie comes off the bench to start the 3rd. He’s much more aggressive when he doesn’t have to worry about deferring.

[spurs1990]

Just no ebanks or BDK in the 2nd half at least. Tired of watching 2-way contract players in the rotation

[Budkin]

So exciting to blow another huge lead!

[heyheymymy]

Damn spurs 23-3 run was answered by mavs 33-6 run lol

[playbonner15]

Damn spurs 23-3 run was answered by mavs 33-6 run lol
tank commanders saved the day

[SPURt]

When Lonnie is on, he looks like an all star… but when he’s off, those drives into walls with the bad passes look awful. I wish he could pull it together.

[james evans]

WHY DOES WHITE KEEP TRYING TO ISO KNOWING HE CAN'T DRIBBLE WORTH SHIT????

[KDKSpurs24]

WHY DOES WHITE KEEP TRYING TO ISO KNOWING HE CAN'T DRIBBLE WORTH SHIT????
I’ve noticed that White creates almost 0 space with his dribble. I just don’t get it

[Degoat]

I dont even know who to be mad at lol yeah Pop refuses to play certain guys but geez Keldons a no show tonight, Dwhite looks like utter crap.

[HankChinaski]

Man White's jumper has just disappeared completely.

[SPURt]

KJ needs to finish that, come on wiener

[HankChinaski]

KJ went up slow on that and gave the defender time to hussle back.

[GB20]

You can see that keldon’s confidence is dead on the water.

[HankChinaski]

Murray has been solid overall alongside Poeltl tonight.

[HankChinaski]

Lonnie coming to life.

[SPURt]

Forbes absolutely feeling it tonight

[Uriel]

Jesus, Forbes.

[SPURt]

Powell can’t get a call, that dude is taking a beating lol

[Uriel]

Forbes taking a giant, wet dump on SpursTalk.

[james evans]

If forbes hits another 3 he may get a max contract this summer

[Gibbz]

Jak is so much better this year holy shit.

[SPURt]

Murray’s passing has improved a lot

[spurs1990]

Dang two D Leaguers back in KDB and F3rbes

[Seventyniner]

Announcer has said Wieskamp twice now, and said Sminney-Sith earlier. I'm downgrading him to F.

[Uriel]

Dang two D Leaguers back in KDB and F3rbes
Murray and Vassell are technically G Leaguers as well.

[james evans]

this Dallas team is just as bad as us, but unfortunately, we have a coach that doesn't want to win the game.

[SPURt]

Jak is so much better this year holy shit.
It’s true, he’s a beast, he could average 18 and 10 pretty easily it’s looking like

[spurs1990]

DLeague 3 in now

[SPURt]

This rotation looks… not… good

[MannyIsGod]

Stg here we go again with this lineup

[Uriel]

Jak is so much better this year holy shit.
He showed glimpses of it last year, but this year, he seems to be doing it on a consistent basis.

[Leetonidas]

Murray and Vassell are technically G Leaguers as well.

:lol he doesn't mean guys who once played in the Gleague

[Leetonidas]

:lmao this lineup

[Budkin]

Forbes taking a giant, wet dump on SpursTalk.

I welcome it, if it leads to a win.

[spurs1990]

Very cool coach is giving Jones some real PT

[slick'81]

Spurs taking this shit from bigD

[Degoat]

Man Prayers up for Zach Collins ankles, maybe wishful thinking but I think he'll make a huge difference with our 2nd unit imo

[playbonner15]

whats up with kbd playing so many minutes lol

[spurs1990]

Should've been Samanich minutes if he had his head straight

[slick'81]

whats up with kbd playing so many minutes lol

Long as he doesn't dribble hes ok

[slick'81]

Fuck!!! Forbes is rising from the dead isnt he

[LeBowen]

This is actually a G-league game right now.

[Leetonidas]

White has been complete garbage

[playbonner15]

DWhite has concussion calling it

[SPURt]

That Mavs fan just made $100k in crypto currency on that half court shot. I wonder if he’ll get to choose?

[playbonner15]

White has been complete garbage

hes playin concussed from the way he moving

[spurs1990]

That's about the 5th offensive foul ebanks has had on a screen this year

[Seventyniner]

Yeah White doesn't look right. He got pickpocketed bringing the ball up then dribbled it off his knee out of bounds. Now it looks like he's seeing ghosts when he brings the ball up.

KBD is looking like the Bizarro Forbes, useful on defense but gives you less than nothing on the other end.

[slick'81]

Such a fun game to watch,tbh

[MultiTroll]

Fuck!!! Forbes is rising from the dead isnt he
Been great so far.
Lets see what he does in the final 7 minutes.

Pretty sure Dallas will start running their O at Forbes. :rolleyes

[Uriel]

That Hammer play never works anymore.

[Degoat]

I think its apparent Dwhite spent the entire offseason rehabbing his foot so he couldnt work on his game, reason for the rusty/awful start to the season.

[SPURt]

How do they suck so bad guarding the Powell/Doncic pick and roll? And why would the Mavs ever stop it?

[MannyIsGod]

Imagine playing Forbes right now.

[LeBowen]

Yeah, this is over.

Road to top5 pick continues.

[spurs1990]

Forbes is gonna take us home to this L

[SPURt]

Luka… ugh…

[playbonner15]

KBD is looking like the Bizarro Forbes, useful on defense but gives you less than nothing on the other end.

One is 100% offense, another is 100% def.... amazing!

[james evans]

yeah this shit is over. We lost. A goddamn 20 point lead evaporated in less than 5 minutes

[Uriel]

Forbes' usefulness has run its course. Get him out of there.

[spurs1990]

Okay wow coach took out Forbes. I like that

[slick'81]

Forbes' usefulness has run its course. Get him out of there.

Yea blame forbes,sours fans goto excuse

[Seventyniner]

Hot damn what a block.

[GB20]

So we are the worst team in the league and we can’t play our rookie? What is wrong with our franchise?

[Seventyniner]

Pop finally has the try hard lineup out there. Murray/White/Vassell/Johnson/Poeltl.

[LeBowen]

So we are the worst team in the league and we can’t play our rookie? What is wrong with our franchise?

Primo needs to get over himself and earn his minutes.

[MannyIsGod]

How do they suck so bad guarding the Powell/Doncic pick and roll? And why would the Mavs ever stop it?

It's almost like Luka is very fucking good.

[slick'81]

Really glad lonnie has been showing up

[tim_duncan_fan]

Never in the history of fucking basketball has a fandom had to scream so loud for someone on the team to just put up a goddamned shot. They are so fucking hesitant and scary on offense, from the starters to the motherfucking 14th man.

For the love of goddamned christ, attack the basket and shoot the fucking basketball. God!

[slick'81]

So we are the worst team in the league and we can’t play our rookie? What is wrong with our franchise?


Hardly worst team. But do you really waste primos confidence,and actually let him play basketball?!

[slick'81]

Sours stil got one more run in them

[duncan2k5]

We will learn from this

[slick'81]

Down to 6

[Seventyniner]

Dude a few rows in front of me has a Spurs Gasol jersey. That's dedication homes.

Hardly worst team. But do you really waste primos confidence,and actually let him play basketball?!

every rookie drafted in his range is playing, some with serious minutes on equally as bad teams. And some are already leading the league (not g league practice courts) in a couple statistics:

Another game, another moral victory.

[MannyIsGod]

Son of a!

Too bad those don't exist

[duncan2k5]

Murray was fouled... But ok

[Uriel]

Murray anti-clutch two games in a row.

[LeBowen]

I'd like to see some FG% stats after a time out. I bet ours is by far the worst.

[Trill Clinton]

So we going to Jakob for Tiago floaters to tie the game in the 4th now?!

[Arcadian]

How the fuck did Murray miss that shot at the basket? Jesus

[MannyIsGod]

This team is so stupid in the last minute

[LeBowen]

:lol

Oh well, we'll start winning these in April and ruin our top5 pick chances.

[Dex]

Murray isn't a closer. He has the heart of a hero...but he doesn't have the talent.

We need to find a new game plan at the end of games.

[Seventyniner]

Another hard fought loss. Spurs are gonna make the moral playoffs.

[Texas_Ranger]

nice to see that keldon is also a retard.

[spurs1990]

Johnson what the hell was that

[MannyIsGod]

Murray anti-clutch two games in a row.

Are you fucking kidding me. Are you even watching nthe game

[duncan2k5]

Murray anti-clutch two games in a row.

I know Murray is the favorite punching bag of this board, but he definitely was not the issue

[SpurPadre]

This team is so stupid in the last minute

Spurs teams have been horrible in the 4th quarter for years. Just can't catch a break getting players that can keep composure in crunch time.

[mexicanjunior]

1-4 never felt so good .. :lol

[Degoat]

And yall wondered why Pop would always go to demar in clutch situations lmao

[Mugen]

The Tank Cannot Be Denied! I love this team tbh

[MannyIsGod]

Anyone bitching about Murray is fucking ridiculous

[slick'81]

Best (1-4) team ever to exist tbh

[YoungbuckMurray]

This team cannot shoot a basketball. Whites shot is pathetic. Get primo up now

[alfahdlan]

Growing pains. That hurts.

[Kurgan]

So we going to Jakob for Tiago floaters to tie the game in the 4th now?!

The team has no designated closer. Until one of the youngsters is willing to step up and take that responsibility, I see no problem with trying other options.

[itzsoweezee]

And yall wondered why Pop would always go to demar in clutch situations lmao

Go watch the ending of the Bulls game lol. Detrash isn’t any better

[slick'81]

This team cannot shoot a basketball. Whites shot is pathetic. Get primo up now

Primo is stuck im purgatory until January tbh

[Uriel]

Getting tired of these moral victories :(

[murpjf88]

So close yet so far away.

[Leetonidas]

:lmao another moral victory

:cry they played hard and were in it til the end :cry

[Dex]

Anyone bitching about Murray is fucking ridiculous

Maybe he should make a shot to win a game instead of passing off, bricking shots, or losing his man in the last few minutes.

We don't need a Kobe who disappears in the last 6 minutes. At least Kobe actually won games.

[itzsoweezee]

Oh well, that game was still infinitely better than the trash we watched last season.
