Picky picky.

Go Spurs Go!

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I’m going to make a bold prediction and say there’s absolutely no way we’re losing to the Hawks tonight!



No

F’ing

Way!


:flag:

[talkspurs]

MCbuckets out again. He is not playing vs Boston or ATL tonight.

[KingKev]

Jaylen Brown playing.

[NASpurs]

I like how OP was the one who started the Hawks game thread and still managed to get this one wrong.

[spurs10]

OP I like your team spirit. I decided I would need to try and turn things around for the team tonight so I will attend and cheer loudly. I, too, am confident the Hawks will not beat us again.

As I've never made a mistake before I hope you don't mind me joking.

Too bad McBuckets is out though. At least the Celtics aren't one of the top teams in the !#$#ing NBA.

:flag:

[poopbox]

Spurs fans in such shambles we don't even know who we playing cause we know we catching another L :rollin

Jason Tatum 50 piece incoming :rollin

Amen, bro. That's the spirit! Spurs by 3 OVER BOSTON!!

[BillMc]

At least the Celtics aren't one of the top teams in the !#$#ing NBA.

:flag:

The questions is why aren't they a top team. Haven't paid much attention to the Celtics, but weren't they loaded with talents, pics and had the world in love with their coaching staff? Did Ainge waste it all? Or is Brad Stevens lousy is the new office role?

[tonight...you]

Yes.

[Degoat]

Think I read that Vassell is out for tonight’s game (sigh)

[slick'81]

Time to take out udoka and the mean green wreaking machine

[BillMc]

Think I read that Vassell is out for tonight’s game (sigh)

Sucks. But ESPN's boxscore says Primo is on the bench. Has he been called up?

Celtics coming out slowly again. Spurs need to take it to em

[slick'81]

Celts come out 1/12 ,spurs up 7

[lefty20]

Sucks. But ESPN's boxscore says Primo is on the bench. Has he been called up?

He has and he will be ready to step in, should Bryn Fobes get injured.

[slick'81]

Smells like a blowout

[Leetonidas]

Pop still playing Ewwbanks ahead of Young:lol

[PhantomDashCam]

3s for DW, Lonnie and KJ?? Hell yeah.

[GB20]

Will primo play tonight?

[r0drig0lac]

good start for Mr. White

[slick'81]

Spurs by 17!! Time out udoka

[PhantomDashCam]

That post up clear out Boston ran for Smart was beautiful. Love to see the Spurs run that for KJ when he has the mismatch and they go through one of their inevitable droughts.

[slick'81]

Will primo play tonight?

sure,why not?

[talkspurs]

btw I know it has been posted before but if you are unable to watch the game you can go to yahoo sports and select the spurs game and watch it.

[slick'81]

Lol ewwbanks

[slick'81]

Tre jones mofo's

[slick'81]

Can Celtics get 10 points this quarter?

[Leetonidas]

Primo sighting

[BillMc]

He has and he will be ready to step in, should Bryn Fobes get injured.
:lol Sad but true

[slick'81]

Celtics mailing this one in

[Dejounte]

Wow i fucking love this line up.

Tre
Murray
Primo
KBD
Poeltl

[spurraider21]

i dont think Primo can recover from this tbh

[GB20]

sure,why not?
You got it right, he is playing.

[slick'81]

Primo suave is here!! Even though he's clearly not ready:lmao

[slick'81]

Tre jones like a mad man out there

[slick'81]

Lead down to 23

[Dejounte]

Keldon should sit for the rest of the game for that embarrassing fast break pass.

[slick'81]

Bring the silver dancers back please

[GB20]

Even though he missed, primo has a nice looking shot.

[slick'81]

Poodle taking fools out

[NASpurs]

Can't stop the tank!

[XDT76]

The officials is making sure that the Spurs lose this

[slick'81]

27 point lead down to 12

[poopbox]

Celtics with a 6 point play :lmao

[slick'81]

Lol forbes

[Leetonidas]

:lmao wow

[lefty20]

Drew :rollin

[poopbox]

This moron Forbes trying to pump fake with .8 seconds on the shot clock :lmao

[NASpurs]

Single digits now :lmao

[NASpurs]

:lmao Forbes didn't even know where the ball was on defense :lmao :lmao :lmao

[spurraider21]

keldon shooting like philip seymour hoffman in Along Came Polly

[NASpurs]

Holy shit that had me laughing. Gif that :lol

[SPURt]

We need a gif of Forbes getting so lost lol, his man shot a three with his back turned looking the other way

[slick'81]

Nice swat dwhite

[NASpurs]

We need a gif of Forbes getting so lost lol, his man shot a three with his back turned looking the other way
LakerHater

[slick'81]

27 point lead down to 7

[SPURt]

“Nobody takes more facial punishment than Derrick White in the NBA” pause… hahaha

[spurraider21]

imagine if Danny Green or Lonnie ever had a sequence where they pump faked into a shot clock violation then got that lost on defense

[Barfunk]

Celtics have way too much confidence. This will be an another L.

[slick'81]

Forbes missed that 3 that would of put us up 30

[poopbox]

We might legit be the worst team in the entire nba :rollin

Nobody on our team remembered how to play basketball for 4 game minutes :rollin

Pop on the sidelines waiting for someone to change his depends :rollin

[slick'81]

White and murray putting in work

[Kurgan]

Shades of that 32 point comeback win Celtics had against us last season when Tatum dropped 60

[NASpurs]

KJ riding that dude :lol

[Dejounte]

Dunk of the fucking year. Wow

[SPURt]

KJ DAMN!!

[r0drig0lac]

good lord

[slick'81]

Kj raping the c's

[slick'81]

Tatum wants to fight

[spurraider21]

reminded me of RJ dunking on David Lee

[Barfunk]

Well at least Pop didn't yank Keldon after that poster. I know he hates that shit, lol.

[GB20]

It was a big mistake signing Forbes, he put primo in the G-league.

[slick'81]

Spurs trying to push it back up to 17 at the break

[poopbox]

We got cheated out of a freethrow and Gregg with to G's just over there taking it up the pooper from the refs as usual

[PhantomDashCam]

Tre Jones. Really should be first guard off the bench atm. Imagine coming in with Tre, Vassell and Primo at the 6 min mark of the 1st in games for the second half of the season…

So nice had to post it twice

[lefty20]

Them 3q blues again.

[JeffDuncan]

My goodness sakes, there is some bad bball going on out there.

[LkrFan]

Celtics suck, but what's up with these fruity Spur unis? :lol

[poopbox]

Eubanks shot :rollin

[spurraider21]

Forms is comically bad

[poopbox]

Kanter getting blocked by DJ :wow

[GB20]

Forms is comically bad
I can’t explain how he is even in the league.

[JeffDuncan]

Celtics suck, but what's up with these fruity Spur unis? :lol


The Dolphins had a yard sale.

[poopbox]

Forbes trash ass letting smart walk right by him :lmao

[emanueldavidginobili]

Seriously can't believe we signed Bryn this offseason.

[spurraider21]

spurs offense is to hold the ball for 14 seconds, dump it to lonnie so he can pull up for a contested 2?

[spurraider21]

I can’t explain how he is even in the league.
thank god he's getting minutes though. if primo got these minutes against NBA players it would shatter him

[siraulo23]

totally predictable,

Spurs about to lose this one again

[SPURt]

What’s that? Spurs have almost given up a 20+ point lead again? What did the Celtics start doing different? Nothing… Forbes is on the floor

[Sugus]

Just now tuning into the game after eating out. How we looking, bois?

Game is tied up right now... Smells like a spicy one

[emanueldavidginobili]

Just a terrible lineup out there too. I had high hopes for him but i'm losing hope in Lonnie quick and in a hurry. This guy doesn't do SHIT outside of scoring a couple of baskets. He for sure needs a fresh start some where else.

[team-work]

Bryn Forbes leading bench minutes.

[GB20]

thank god he's getting minutes though. if primo got these minutes against NBA players it would shatter him
:lol

[JeffDuncan]

spurs offense is to hold the ball for 14 seconds, dump it to lonnie so he can pull up for a contested 2?


Shhh! Don’t give away our secrets.

[twincam]

Who in here really thought the Spurs were going to win this easily? Come on now. They are horrible.

[spurraider21]

What’s that? Spurs have almost given up a 20+ point lead again? What did the Celtics start doing different? Nothing… Forbes is on the floor
17 minutes
1-6 shooting
worst defensive player on the floor

-12

[emanueldavidginobili]

Tre Jones having his best game of his NBA career, typical Pop to ride Bryn instead.

[NASpurs]

Why is Forbes still out there... I ask already knowing the answer.

[Barfunk]

Been the story for the past couple. Just can't hit any key shots.

[NASpurs]

Can't even fucking make a shot yet still gets minutes :lol

[NASpurs]

Stupid fuck can't even pick up a loose ball :lol

[Sugus]

How the fuck was Forbes beat to that fucking rebound :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Leetonidas]

Forbes :lmao

[Trill Clinton]

Bryn so slow and clumsy he couldn't come up with the contested loose ball

[NASpurs]

And gets picked on defense by every Celtics player

[poopbox]

FOrbes looking like a helpless child guarding tatum :lmao

[spurraider21]

:lmao just going at forbes every possession
:lmao pop

[lefty20]

Dread it, run from it, tank still arrives.

[siraulo23]

Fuck Pop

Just play Forbes the entire 4th pls dont be shy

[Kurgan]

:lol Forbes defending Tatum. Proceeds to shoot a three in his face

[Barfunk]

Spurs could be up 40, and a half decent team like the Celtics would just be like "Eh, we'll get back in it eventually".

[NASpurs]

So many low iq players on this team but yeah, good thing they got that G League time.

[Trill Clinton]

Lonnie smh

[spurraider21]

FOrbes looking like a helpless child guarding tatum :lmao
to be fair if Primo saw any of his 20+ minutes he would spontaneously combust

[objective]

That was some classic fake hustle from Forbes giving up the offensive rebound a few minutes ago

Forbes never ever sacrifices his body, that's why he has zero career charges drawn

[PhantomDashCam]

17 minutes
1-6 shooting
worst defensive player on the floor

-12

But he’s leading the team in hand claps, hand blows, snarls and foot wipes

[NASpurs]

Forbes B+

[Sugus]

Wait, Primo's on the bench tonight? And we're trotting out extended Forbes minutes in the 4th quarter while he's abused by every Celtics player?? That's such a Pop move it's unbelievable...

[bbarry]

This is getting really REALLY hard to watch, every single night giving up leads late in game, like clock work. Missing almost every single wide open look, while the opp makes a good number of them. It's getting to painful levels.

[Chomag]

Get Forbes out!!! Gawd damn!

[spurraider21]

That was some classic fake hustle from Forbes giving up the offensive rebound a few minutes ago

Forbes never ever sacrifices his body, that's why he has zero career charges drawn

[emanueldavidginobili]

Jones/Primo/Devin>Lonnie/Bryn/Derrick

[spurraider21]

spurs have outscored the celtics by 14 in the 19 minutes that Forbes has been on the bench

[LkrFan]

The Dolphins had a yard sale.

:lol

[NASpurs]

Mr Fake Hustle will never get injured :lol

[XDT76]

I really don't understand why is Forbes is out there when he cannot hit his shots and gives up relatively open shots

[Chomag]

Primo being forced to have Forbes as a mentor is criminal

[SPURt]

17 minutes
1-6 shooting
worst defensive player on the floor

-12
Pop has a history of getting addicted to poor defending, streaky 3 point shooters. Primo can’t be worse than this.

[twincam]

Yup…inevitability has arrived.
https://media1.giphy.com/media/LB4r67Dk0bhOU/200.gif

[siraulo23]

It sucks that it looks like White has lost some athleticsm.

Derrick White pre all injuries was awesome.

Oh wow, Forbes is out of the game? Fuck Pop

[NASpurs]

What's that, like a 33 point turnaround? :lol

[rudwick]

But he’s leading the team in hand claps, hand blows, snarls and foot wipes

He’s the Tank Commander

[Chomag]

Mr Fake Hustle will never get injured :lol
Hard to when you never exert yourself lol

[NASpurs]

I like how every Spurs player on the bench is wearing a mask while Forbes isn't :lol

[GB20]

I really want Pop gone after this year, the way he is coaching is painful to watch.

[Chomag]

How is that not in the act of shooting?

[siraulo23]

Celts has only scored 86, Spurs decides this is the game to be in the low 80s

[Sugus]

spurs have outscored the celtics by 14 in the 19 minutes that Forbes has been on the bench

At the end of the day, that's a great stat. Goes to show that there's more to these Spurs than the W-L column tells you.

We're a Forbes & Pop torpedoing away (and a top 5 pick) from having someting interesting down here...

[Trill Clinton]

Put Forbes back in...its getting too close for my liking.

[Sugus]

I like how every Spurs player on the bench is wearing a mask while Forbes isn't :lol

You just know Forbes got his 4th COVID shot ahead of schedule so he wouldn't miss a single game to the protocols :lol

[poopbox]

What the hell is going on :lmao

[Barfunk]

This team can't shoot, smh.

[NASpurs]

Knowing our luck, we'll probably end up with the 5th worst record and somehow end up with the 13th pick :lol

[twincam]

What makes me laugh is that these guys think they are a three point shooting team. I’ve always said, three point shooting for them are turnovers.

[team-work]

PATFO averse to full tanking, youth movement...are fine. But are they really playing the right young players for development sake, or just within the HC's comfort zone?

[Dejounte]

Man, it’s back to having poor confidence for White. Why does this dude always have to sulk? You never see Steph hitting his own fist after a miss or putting his head down. White should follow that example. Just keep moving onto the next one, dude.

[GB20]

Knowing our luck, we'll probably end up with the 5th worst record and somehow end up with the 13th pick :lol
And that pick will be playing in the G-league next year with Primo.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Another game where DJ does everything he possibly can on both ends and has absolutely no help or fight from his teammates.

[poopbox]

Refs giving the spurs freethrows on that shot :lmao

They know they fucked us on some bad calls earlier

[Trill Clinton]

DJ!

[emanueldavidginobili]

Dunk the ball lmao. And terrible sub here for Jones lmaoo

[NASpurs]

Bryn is out there :lmao

[siraulo23]

Forbes back in the final minute lmao

[Sugus]

Damn, what a shot DJ, and great shot too by White before him

[emanueldavidginobili]

DJ literally doing EVERYTHING. This kid has a big fucking heart man

[siraulo23]

If the Spurs get a good pick next year, we are all going to thank Pop right? right???

[PhantomDashCam]

GSG!

[Trill Clinton]

Dejounte is on one

[poopbox]

Dejounte playing at a borderline all star level for awhile now

[NASpurs]

The guy hasn't done jack shit to justify getting these minutes while Tre has and yet, here we are. :lol

[spurraider21]

DJ and White taking turns victimizing Horford

and Bryn out there for some reason :lol

[GB20]

Bryn is out there :lmao
It was Becky’s idea, she told pop to put Forbes in.

[heyheymymy]

Damn nice 12-2 spurs run

[NASpurs]

DJ :wow :wow

[siraulo23]

lets fucking go DJ!!

[Sugus]

Thats the DAGGER

[lefty20]

God damn DJ!

[PhantomDashCam]

Eat that pineapple!

[Barfunk]

Hell yeah, DJ taking over.

[poopbox]

Thats our future all nba point guard guys :cry

Pop and Bryn trying to fire up the tank but Dejounte telling them not tonight :cry

[Trill Clinton]

https://media2.giphy.com/media/xDrLJaxf2YpFe/giphy.gif

[Sugus]

Tank stops for tonight bois :flag::lobt2:

[siraulo23]

If Forbes was in there rather than Tre, guarantee Celtics woulda scored.

Instead they get a stop and DJ jumper and are now up 5

[Uriel]

:lol Nobody even bothered to make a thread for this game.

[Dejounte]

I like Murray talking shit but I also don’t like it :lmao save it for when we have a winning team dude.

[NASpurs]

:lol Nobody even bothered to make a thread for this game.

You're in it son. OP fucked up.

[BillMc]

Victory!!:flag:

[Sugus]

I like Murray talking shit but I also don’t like it :lmao save it for when we have a winning team dude.

He's earned it tonight, tbh.

Matter of fact, regardless of your team's record, if you're the one closing the game out and hitting the dagger shot, you absolutely earn the right to talk shit for the night, just the way it goes

[Chomag]

This win feels pretty good, sorry team tankers

[spurraider21]

:lmao Forbes 23 minutes, -19

:lmao spurs outscored boston by 27 in the other 25 minutes

[Harry Callahan]

At least the young guys can taste a little success for a night. DJM is the guy who brings it most nights. The other guys are simply not consistent.

[Kurgan]

Udoka's gotten chubby since leaving the Spurs

[twincam]

Every dog has his day. Here comes another five game losing streak.

[rudwick]

I really don't understand why is Forbes is out there when he cannot hit his shots and gives up relatively open shots

He’s the Tank Commander. He’s out there to make us lose to keep the tank alive. Pop put him back in when we regained the lead, but it was too late to make us lose.

[PhantomDashCam]

Hawks never knew what hit ‘em…

[Chomag]

DJ starting to figure out what Tim and the big 3 did was not win because of Pop but win in spite of Pop

[Degoat]

Great W! DJ showing out!! I don’t know how long Ime is gonna last as the C’s coach tbh

[GB20]

The moment they took Forbes out the Spurs made a run and won the game, what a fucking coincidence . Does Pop watch any video about this team when Forbes is on the game?

[team-work]

Winning a close game finally:clap, which is not easy for this team. Hope they land a good to great player with next year's high draft pick. Future should still be bright in this franchise.

[XDT76]

Surprise Surprise, Tatum goes on a scoring spree when Forbes is on him, but becomes quite when Forbes is out and White defends him. Wonder is there any learning point here? Hmm.

[JeffDuncan]

Oh well, can’t lose them all.

But no, it was a great win. Tip my hat to Murray. Nicely done.

[emanueldavidginobili]

DJ willing the Spurs to victory. He also had a very underrated rebound at the end of the game that was huge, he does it all and is still getting better. He came out of Washington more raw than KA, Derrick, Keldon and shit even Primo imo and he's worked his ass off. Besides his rookie year and the year he blew his knee out this is his 4th full season and he's improved leaps and bounds. It's sad if he was in a big market everyone would be talking about him.

[offset formation]

This win feels pretty good, sorry team tankers

Would have felt better if we developed our players tonight, other than Tre getting some run finally.

Primo like 4 minutes, think it ended with pop blowing a fuse at him. awesome for a 4-13 team.

Jock -- 0 minutes.
Weiskamp-- 0 minutes


Meanwhile Bryn 24 minutes...lol

Absolutely hate pop's rotations.

I feel sorry for Murray. He has to play out of his ass, get best up, play 39 minutes just to barely win games they were up by 26 in.

[Degoat]

Bryn playing some many minutes is a result of Lonnie sucking donkey dick. Once everyone is fully healthy I think Bryns minutes will go down

[Dejounte]

https://twitter.com/jeffgspurszone/status/1464446362792218625?s=21

More of this, please. With Primo or Vassell.

[GB20]

Bryn playing some many minutes is a result of Lonnie sucking donkey dick. Once everyone is fully healthy I think Bryns minutes will go down
Are you saying down? He shouldn’t be in the league at all. This franchise is really going on the wrong direction.

[Dejounte]

https://twitter.com/worldwidewob/status/1464444033191661572?s=21

Yeah, that was a huge rebound.

[John B]

https://twitter.com/worldwidewob/status/1464444033191661572?s=21

Yeah, that was a huge rebound.

DJ is a stud :lol

[John B]

Bryn playing some many minutes is a result of Lonnie sucking donkey dick. Once everyone is fully healthy I think Bryns minutes will go down

I rather Tre taking them minutes. Seriously Tre is flat out better and aggressive

[John B]

DJ willing the Spurs to victory. He also had a very underrated rebound at the end of the game that was huge, he does it all and is still getting better.

Besides his rookie year and the year he blew his knee out this is his 4th full season and he's improved leaps and bounds. It's sad if he was in a big market everyone would be talking about him.

With his almost triple-double average, they will start talking about him

[itzsoweezee]

Love the swagger from Murray. He might be the most improved player in the league

[spurraider21]

Love the swagger from Murray. He might be the most improved player in the league
thats what has set him apart from White. White started off as the better player of the two but has plateaued basically since his second year. murray has continued to improve year after year

[John B]

Seriously if Derrick were playing better, this team could be winning more games

[sananspursfan21]

Checked the Spurs app and it said the Spurs won. So I kept refreshing but it never changed. Anyone know how to fix this bug? So what was the actual score? How bad did our boys get beat tonight?

[Mr. Body]

Seriously if Derrick were playing better, this team could be winning more games

Keldon and White both mostly sucking is dragging this team down. There's not much room for error.

[TDomination]

Murray is gonna get some all star attention soon

[spurs10]

Dj was a closer tonight. It was great to see. White did well in the end as well. He had the go ahead basket and hit crucial fts.

Forbes on Tatum aged me a year or two, on top of the horrible shooting.

[SPURt]

The player that was really good tonight was Tre Jones. If Pop won’t play Primo at least keep Tre taking Forbes minutes when Vassell is back.

[Chinook]

Completely forgot there was a game tonight, which is annoying since I've sat through all of the losses for the past two weeks or whatever and end up missing their first win. Might catch the replay or look at the extended highlights. It looks like it was a relatively sustainable game for them, at least offensively. They didn't have Vassell either, which means they didn't play their best ball. Maybe this says more about the Celtics than the Spurs, but it has to help their confidence going forward to know they can win down the stretch.

[tbdog]

I watched the second half. Spurs had length to bother Celtics best offensive players and kanter is still a mess defending the pick n roll. Spurs struggle against bigs, which Celtics don't have.

On other news, grizzlies season could be derailed if Morant is done.

[Teamduncan21]

Surprise Surprise, Tatum goes on a scoring spree when Forbes is on him, but becomes quite when Forbes is out and White defends him. Wonder is there any learning point here? Hmm.


Play Forbes to low key tank

That might give Lakers better chances. Which sucks

[BillMc]

I really think Jones has a long term future with the club

[BackHome]

I am liking DJ for some of his faults he is just a warrior he has that get after dog mentality he is a keeper for sure.

I am liking Vassell I think he will continue to get better at the little things but I love his defense and his 3 ball - Just don’t make him a Danny Green clone design plays for him let him take over every once in awhile - He also has that dog in him

I like Keldon in that he competes all the time but he needs to seriously work on his 3 game

For all the crap I have said about Poodle he has improved and they are a more competitive team with him like I have always said he is a cheap very good second Center for our team

Tre always liked him he is like a mini Keldon always happy and full of energy I just wish he was two inches taller but love that he is a pure PG.

White has broke my heart if he is not injured then I would be open to move him for the right player

Everyone else blah.

[Fireball]

Man I did not think we could pull this off with Bryn playing so many minutes ... that was horrible. So much better when Tre Jones is playing. Kudos for Dejounte by closing that thing out all by himself.

I called 3-7 for the second 10-game stretch ... but somehow I doubt we will win against Wizards :lol

This

[team-work]

Not stringent on Forbes, as he can't choose starter or bench, how many minutes. But it seemed inevitable playing him for so many minutes.

[RD2191]

OP is a dumbass.

[pad300]

OP is a dumbass.

If it's stupid and it works, it's not stupid...

I propose we title the next game thread "Game Thread: Spurs vs. Celtics - Nov 29, 2021 - 7:30pm CT"

DJ willing the Spurs to victory. He also had a very underrated rebound at the end of the game that was huge, he does it all and is still getting better. He came out of Washington more raw than KA, Derrick, Keldon and shit even Primo imo and he's worked his ass off. Besides his rookie year and the year he blew his knee out this is his 4th full season and he's improved leaps and bounds. It's sad if he was in a big market everyone would be talking about him.
the usual Spurstalk idiots spent four years talking shit about the kid, even watching the kid play 70 times a year failed to see the obvious talent, and do you think mainstream media that obviously doesn't follow the team should talk about him? cute.

The game last night has L written all-over if DJ’s last minute heroic shots did not fall and pretty much carried the team with 29 pts, which doesn’t happen every night. They again led big in the opening just to squander in the 3rd and 4th periods. Poeltl needs to score consistently in double digits especially with Doug and Vassell out. It helped that the Celtics played horribly. I appreciate the W which was fun, but that was a rare escape. And why the heck is Pop not playing Landale?

I need a clip.

Even on a low end G-leauge team Forbes would be buried on the bench yet only thanks to Pop he is here playing 20+ minutes.

That was 20 minutes of nothing...well other then being Tatum's stepping stone.

[LakerHater]

We need a gif of Forbes getting so lost lol, his man shot a three with his back turned looking the other way

:pop: Too young and not washed up enough, besides it wouldn't be fair to the team if I jeopardize our playoff spot by giving our younger players consistent minutes. Oh wait...

Ok all kidding aside although sadly I just might not be ...it really is mind boggling, if Pop really doesn't want to be bothered by having to spend some or his attention on teaching and allowing the younger players to learn then maybe he needs to step aside for someone that will. I don't know if that's the case of course but its how my own mind is rationalizing what he's doing.

Oh dear lord, there really are no words...can a player honestly be this useless?
Yet Pop didn't pull him...had Primo done this He would have sent him back to College
Get in here and defend this Sniffers!
Thanks for gifing this :lol

that’s the good stuff! Thanks LakerHater! Now all of Spurstalk can behold the defensive genius that is Forbes.

[talkspurs]

He gets lost twice in that play once on the shot then again on the rebound when 25(?) goes to the hoop he is looking towards center court. Ball is in the paint so I have no idea what he is looking at.

You know how if you just pulled any random human out of the stands and put them on an nba floor...how bad they would look? I feel like Bryn looks like that all the time

Last min heroics? Sure DJs scoring was needed. Trey and Dwhite initiating the offense in the last 3mins set up the win IMO. It was a suttle change but made the offense less predictable to close and DJ was a beneficiary .

Stupid Hawks can't even beat the Spurs on a night when they weren't playing them

I fact checked this because I’m tired of liars who post shit to further their agenda and using my league pass, I re-watched the last three minutes. In those three minutes, the following happened:

White dribble hand off on the perimeter to Dejounte (no remarkable “initiating” of the offense here)
Tre fast break to Keldon that didn’t lead to a point
Clutch White midrange shot
Dejounte with the ball, goes to score by himself
Dejounte with the ball again, goes to score by himself

In other words, you’re a fucking liar.

I am tired of bullshit like this.

[Chinook]

Just to fact-check the fact-check: Looking at the highlights, there are certainly times that Murray scored after having White or Jones initiate the offense. I don't necessarily think those are examples of Murray not deserving credit for heroics though. Murray didn't get open threes or dunks off cuts. He still had to make moves. But it also seems true that those possessions did have Jones or White bring the ball up and call the initial screens. That's not nothing, as it meant Murray was attacking a moving defense rather than a set one. But any good team will try to get their stars some type of advantage, so I don't think Murray had a uniquely low burden. Given Jones' shaky shooting and White's passivity, it's probably a good idea to have those guys start possessions with the ball to avoid putting them in bad positions. Murray getting a better defensive scape is good for him too, so it works out. No one should want Murray or any Spur to end games by repeatedly taking the ball from inbound to iso shot. That was the gripe about DeRozan I think most fans could understand. I'm happy Murray's not that way. It shouldn't be a reason to slam him or take credit away from him.

Hahah truth hurtss and gotta say what a bitch reaction for talking about a subtle change

No 1 taking credit away DJ for scoring. Read my post again

Chinook gets it , you dont .

No, you don’t get it. Chinook made a general comment about the whole game, not the last three minutes. Your memory is clouded by your bias that you’re too lazy to recall things accurately or honestly. The fact is, during those last three minutes, there was a total of one play where Tre or White initiated the offense, and not the way you claimed it happened. Douchebag.

[Dejounte]

It’s also nothing new or a “subtle change”, DJ has been sharing ball handling duties like that for years now with Lonnie, White, and DeMar.

[8sy21vd]

Murray's aggression and willingness to take the lead has been the most impressive part of his improvement. This is White's biggest problem aside from his abysmal shooting this season and why the Spurs should look to move him to a contender (like Denver) for some front court help or draft capital. This would allow Vassell to be forced into a primary role sooner. The Spurs' front court is still their biggest problem imo. Poetl has marginally improved but seems a bit overrated on here. He's an average nba starter. Eubanks is not a NBA player and it's painful to watch him struggle out there.

No you stil dont get it. A scrambling defense to a set defense . Thats the point.You didnt remember those 1 plays, rhey help set up. or Dwhites big shot

Its ok bitch. You couldnt handle the fact that players you dont love helped with a win. A subtle change in the last 3min that we need to see more off.
