San Antonio Spurs (https://www.nba.com/spurs/) (8-13) vs. Phoenix Suns (19-4)December 6, 2021 | 8:00 PM CTWatch: Bally Sports Southwest | Listen: WOAI (1200 AM)Spurs Injuries: Zach Collins (Out — Ankle), Devin Vassell (Questionable — Quad), Keita Bates-Diop (Questionable — Ankle), Devontae Cacok (Out — Two Way)
Suns Injuries: Dario Saric (Out — Knee), Devin Booker (Out — Hamstring), Frank Kaminsky (Out — Knee), Abdel Nader (Out — Knee)

Booker is out. And Poeltl is back since they last met. Let’s see if the table turn. Spurs by 8pts :flag::flag::flag:

[Dejounte]

No way in hell they win this even without Booker but would be nice to say the Spurs stopped the two hottest teams in the NBA

Let's get this Train back on the tracks

[KobesAchilles]

Looking forward to watching future Spur Ayton tbh

[Chinook]

If the Spurs win this, their trade interest might start shifting from conservative seller to conservative buyer. A Spurs team that can take care of business against average teams (which the Suns missing guys and the Warriors tired and off focus are) is one that can make a solid run for the play-in. As I said in another thread, Young has use as buoyant filler. Him being included in a deal to balance salaries doesn't require the Spurs to add value to offset the cost of taking him. There are a number of decent or at least really interesting players who could be on the market in much the same way that Gordon or Vuc were. Wood, Grant, Siakam, Sabonis, Turner -- any of those would be good additions if the price is right. Some of those players won't even be seriously shopped. But there are moderately aggressive moves the team can make to solidify their lineup without selling too much of their future. It's a shame they don't have AFA's expiring to use anymore, but they still do have some midsized expiring and semi-expiring deals they can use to make numbers work.

oh lord my biggest fear going into this year was PATFO gets a whiff of possible playoff push and becomes buyers, even worse includes a FRP to bring in a veteran glue guy.

Hopefully we can get back to competitive losses tonight.

Biggest hurdle the acquiring any of those guys is GS imo. If they want any of them they can probably have them with the package of young players they can put together.

I'd like Grant of the bunch since he fits a position of need, is on a super reasonable deal for his production, and i think his game would fit well here. Pascal makes way too much money. Sabonis is nice but he is an undersized C with no D. wouldn't want Wood/Turner over Jak for the price.

[TDomination]

Seeing the guys coming together these last 4 games has been great to watch!
Though a loss is expected, i hope we can once again make this a competitive game at the least.

You never know tbh. Spurs seem to hang tough with Phoenix. they went into their building and took a fat shit on them last season without Demar and Patty.

[Joseph Kony]

then again i think they beat us in another game by 40 last season so what do i know :lol

[TDomination]

man i hope so! but i wouldn't even know what to think of this team if they somehow pulled out a win today.
devin booker being out should technically help us but typically this is when a random bench player goes off.

I don't know that Golden State will be buyers this year if Thompson comes back and plays well. I think they'll try to toe the line unless forced to make a move to stay on top of the conference. If they lose faith in someone like Wiseman, maybe they make a small consolation trade to turn him into useful depth while he still has value. My guess though is that they'll try to develop guys to come up behind their players if doing so doesn't noticeably affect their odds.

I do think Grant is the most gettable of those guys, especially since Detroit has given up any pretense of trying to turn it around quickly. I think he'd cost a prospect though, which depending on who it is might not let the Spurs get in. A good thing for the Spurs is if they want to trade, their first, even lightly protected, should have good value around the league. They can offer more than most other potential buyers in that regard. Should they? Not unless this win streak somehow continues and pushes them over .500. I still expect a top-10 pick, and no one on this list should get that from SA this season.

I don't think GS makes a real significant move the way they're playing. I agree with you on Grant and Siakim. I think Turner could play significant minutes next to Jak though.

My biggest criticism is signing Forbes or KBD to the exclusion of Aminu. We'd be in a much stronger position to make one of these trades with that salary ballast.

[ginobilized]

A Spurs win would be a monumental statement.
Hope they keep their focus and give themselves a puncher's chance.
Spurs by 1-28

[r0drig0lac]

easy win

[KingKev]

A Spurs win would be a monumental statement.

Spurs by 1-28

A December win vs a team without their best player isn’t much of a statement.

[Larry O]

After extending their winning streak, tonight's game will be a test of the Youngin's confidence level and growth, especially with closing out games, GEESH! That win against the Dubs on their home court, was definitely a cherry on top & a confidence booster! I think they have a chance to possibly repeat another win, especially with Book being out. They need to continue with the strategy of coming out & punching their opponent in the mouth; play great defense & get their shots to fall. It would be nice if DV24 would be available for tonight. Both his scoring & his defense, are missed! LW4 had a good game against the Worriers, only because they did not have a true big to protect the paint. Tonight's game will be different with Ayton & McGee protecting the paint, so I see him crawl back into his shell. Both of those guys will be key to both the Suns' offense & defense. I believe that last time, it was pick-&-roll party all night long, so that could be a matchup problem that may be the Spurs' demise. Also, the Good Guys have a Knicks team waiting on them for Tuesday's game, & this team is no slouch either! They too, have a back-to-back with Indy in Naptown for Wednesday, but if tonight's outcome is close with a possible win, then perhaps Tuesday's game could be a "L." Should be fun though! GSG!!!

[PhantomDashCam]

https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1467956447791222796?s=20

A shame for DJ but hard to argue too much with Donovan's performances.

I believe that the Spurs longest win streak last season was 3 games so to be on a 4-gamer while playing some of the best team basketball over the last 3 or so years, gives the Spurs a legit chance in this one.

Hopefully Spur killer Cam Payne doesn't get paired in the b/c with Chris Paul at some stage or Pops will be licking his chops at the prospect of unleashing the Tre/Bryn "beer me up" tandem.

[ginobilized]

A December win vs a team without their best player isn’t much of a statement.

For these Spurs, this would be a statement. For a better team, not so much.Might be the biggest win streak of the season.

[heyheymymy]

Cam Johnson will be left open on no less than 3 made corner 3PTs.

Crowder or Payne is the random spur killer of the night.

Lonnie will miraculously have 0 TOs.

Spurs keep the recent energy and win.

Kaminsky gets chippy with Poeltl at some point.

Pop calls Sarver a racist chicken.

Monty bought Pop dinner and gets a free bottle from Pop's private reserve if the Spurs win.

[RC_Drunkford]

I expect a loss, but if the Spurs win this somehow they might‘ve really turned a corner

[Degoat]

Is Devin Vassell gonna be out tonight still?

Edit* Hes out

[XDT76]

The Spurs will maintain the winning streak until they play a sub .500 team.

[heyheymymy]

on the suns stream and I'm already at my max on "valley proud" moments

[Uriel]

Bold prediction: Spurs win in a thriller.

[slick'81]

Not having booker is going to hurt the suns. Lets see if spurs maintain this momentum

[boutons_deux]

Anybody got a stream source?

[PhantomDashCam]

Encouraging start. Are we sold on the DJ/DW backcourt yet?

[LeBowen]

Good start, everyone playing with confidence.

If they can keep this up for the rest of the season, we'll get the 10-14th pick again.

[NASpurs]

:lol that defense of Forbes

[Barfunk]

Blockob

[Sugus]

Jakob is so fucking good, still underrated

[Uriel]

Dejounte is the team's best player. Jakob is second best.

[Sugus]

GREAT pullup 3 from DJ. More of that please.

[Uriel]

Beautiful game :cry

[Uriel]

I love this team :cry

[Sugus]

Still can't believe the Spurs shed all 3 of their main figures/scorers in one off-season, and went from a team that consistently went 10 points under in the 1st quarter, to a team that kinda-consistently goes up 10 points in the first... And then can close out the game, or give it a fight. Regardless of the final record, this is a much better team than last year's.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Man DJ looks really really good, his passing has exponentially improved.

[offset formation]

Who the fuck is this team and what have they done to my tanking dreams?

No need to tank if these guys are gonna play like this. Knock on wood I'm not jinxing us.

[poopbox]

This team is making more and more beautiful game plays every game :cry

[Dejounte]

Yeah, that was another example of a nice play that I was talking about… DJ to Thad to Lonnie.

[Slippy]

Thad provides a focal point on offense with his passing and cutting. Something Drew doesn't provide. Glad to see pop sticking with this move as first big off bench

Teams defense again containing the suns. Love it

[emanueldavidginobili]

This is a terrible lineup.

[GB20]

Murray’s game is in another level.

[Dejounte]

This midget line up we have out there is disgusting. The team would look so much better with depth in the front court.

[slick'81]

Spus easily make the playoffs barring injury

[Sugus]

I'm so tired of watching players shooting over Forbes... Fuck

[NASpurs]

Thad Young is going to be one of those players that you look back five years from now and be like "Oh yeah, that guy played for the Spurs" kind of like Damon Stoudamire, Nick van Exel, Tracy McGrady, or Kevin Martin.

[Degoat]

Thad young trying to tank his trade value out there

[NASpurs]

I'm so tired of watching players shooting over Forbes... Fvck!

FTFY

[Dejounte]

I hope this line up is giving the SL enough breather… it’s a miracle they weren’t outscored like crazy

[poopbox]

Refs treating Javel like he Shaq :rollin

[NASpurs]

Doug McDermott, Forbes, Lonnie and T Young is cancer defense there.

[Degoat]

Get Thad out of the GD game lol

[LeBowen]

Always have to ruin it at the end.

[Robz4000]

Spurs have zero answer for McGee per par.

[offset formation]

This midget line up we have out there is disgusting. The team would look so much better with depth in the front court.

You mean like Luka?

[NASpurs]

Poodle :lol

[PhantomDashCam]

Overreaction alert, Jakob may have a better floater than Tony Parker. It’s pretty freakin’ good though.

[Dejounte]

You mean like Luka?

I mean like literally anybody else but Ewwbanks and midget Thad

[Slippy]

What a letdown to close the first. Javel McGee kicking the spurs again.

[PhantomDashCam]

Primo sighting

[KingKev]

Thad Young is going to be one of those players that you look back five years from now and be like "Oh yeah, that guy played for the Spurs" kind of like Damon Stoudamire, Nick van Exel, Tracy McGrady, or Kevin Martin.

He has probably already played more than Stoudamire, Martin and TMac combined.

[Degoat]

Primo time!

[Dejounte]

It’s sad because I thought we found our backup C answer last year with Dieng… turns out the dude doesn’t put in any time in the gym and had no business guarding other C’s. The Spurs need a particular type of back up C

[spurraider21]

primo in to start the 2nd

https://c.tenor.com/6SQeBKCMrqQAAAAM/vince-mcmahon-wwe.gif

[Barfunk]

Parallel universe jump, Primo in.

[BatManu20]

We can’t defend these cats. They’re getting a ton of easy buckets. They’re the best team in basketball so far for a reason though. Like the way the Spurs are competing right now.

[Leetonidas]

Spurs getting dominated by McGee :lol

[Degoat]

Bet Primos out after this timeout lol

[NASpurs]

We can’t defend these cats. They’re getting a ton of easy buckets. They’re the best team in basketball so far for a reason though.

Yeah that reason is because Klay Thompson hasn't played a game yet. :lol

[Slippy]

Javel Mgee effect. Wtf

The suns are locking in on our guys on the perimeter. Need some cutting and driving inside.

[XDT76]

I really don't understand why are we so happy with undersize lineup. The suns OR is almost the same as our DR.

[Dejounte]

How many air balls are we going to have tonight

[slick'81]

Primo suave ain't ready yall

[KingKev]

Threeemo

[Dejounte]

3mo for Primo

[Uriel]

Primo!!!

[Robz4000]

Bruh, McGee channeling his inner Ibaka out there.

[spurraider21]

i guess javale really wanted to get in a shaqtin a fool segment

[Slippy]

Primo knocking the open three. Still think spurs are too in love with the three atm but ill take it.

[Dejounte]

Oh no. McDermott was wide open Tre…

[spurraider21]

who's a worse 3 point shooter... Tre or Thad?

[slick'81]

Nice dwhite!!

[Barfunk]

And 1

[Dejounte]

Good shit White

[slick'81]

who's a worse 3 point shooter... Tre or Thad?


thad

[slick'81]

Come on kj

[Dejounte]

Lonnie’s “other half” is playing again tonight. Ugh

[poopbox]

what is lonnie doing? Forbes done infected him with his stupidity :lmao

[EasyMoney]

For fuck sake lonnie

[PhantomDashCam]

All you have to do if you’re Phoenix is react every time you think there should be a whistle. Ridiculous

[Degoat]

Man some ugly bball going on right now lol

[Dex]

I can't overstate how disappointed I am with Lonnie as a player.

People will flock to his defense and be like "but he made some good plays!"

But this guy is never gonna put it together.

[MannyIsGod]

That's twice Thad has fucked a break. He's not a fucking point guard and needs to give up the ball.

[Slippy]

Ffs Lonnie.. fuking attack the rim

Spurs d keeping them in front. Getting stops again

[Dejounte]

Dejounte’s facing double teams for the first time in his career

that’s when you know stardom is in reach

[slick'81]

Spurs cold af

[Slippy]

Man ive lost count how many in your face three Dwhite has attempted. Why not run a play for an easier shot.

He better turn it around by the second half

[Barfunk]

Again, this team can go cold in a flash. Let's get back in it.

[Uriel]

Chris Paul is really good at basketball.

[Dex]

Man ive lost count how many in your face three Dwhite has attempted. Why not run a play for an easier shot.

He better turn it around by the second half

Agreed. We got the shitty White/Walker tonight, and that usually leads to a loss.

[slick'81]

Sours 4 minutes without a basket

[Sugus]

What was that :lmao

[Dex]

This last 4 minutes is about as ugly as it gets.

[Dejounte]

Is that Cam Johnson or LeBron James?

what an awful 2nd. They should be down more than 20 points

[boutons_deux]

-10 in the second quarter

33 points first quarter 15-point second quarter Stone Cold

[Degoat]

Keldons gotta be better, nights where Lonnie isnt looking good pops gotta pull him out

[slick'81]

Chris Paul is really good at basketball.

a balding chris paul:wow im feeling old

[LeBowen]

As per usual after a good game, Lonnie goes missing.

[Dex]

Decent challenge, but they are going to get him for reach down with that left arm.

[SPURt]

What a stinker of a second quarter… woof

[Slippy]

Spurs offensively are lost atm. End of half cant come soon enough.

Too in love with threes. They said 1 for 10 for this quarter .

[poopbox]

POP WON A CHALLENGE :wow

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

:lma

choo choo

[slick'81]

Only down 3 is great tbh

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Spurs offensively are lost atm. End of half cant come soon enough.

Too in love with threes. They said 1 for 10 for this quarter .

they are taking what the defense gives them ... open 3 after open 3 ... brick brick brick clank iron clang clank airball brick

[MultiTroll]

Make sure Landale doesn't get in. Keep bricking threes.

[objective]

At 5:38 in the second, my imagination results:

1. Bryn on the bench probably smiling, comfortable as the king of shoe wipes
2. Primo in front of the Spurs bench before the inbound with the brand new RAISED CROSS LEGGED SHOE WIPE
3. Pop notices the new shoe store wipe artistry
4. Bryn notices Pop noticing
5. Bryn to himself, "you gotta be kidding me!"

[BatManu20]

Spurs don’t have nearly the shooters to be shooting this many 3’s. Y’all are open for a reason boys.

[slick'81]

Spurs don’t have nearly the shooters to be shooting this many 3’s. Y’all are open for a reason boys.

pop wants them to shoot that shot. Hes said as much over and over again this season

[BackHome]

That's twice Thad has fucked a break. He's not a fucking point guard and needs to give up the ball.

He want's to go to the Suns he is trying to hard to impress them should just do what he is good at

[Dejounte]

So we got the White who shakes his head after every miss tonight. Damn

[Barfunk]

Point blank miss now

[Dex]

Missing bunnies now.

[slick'81]

Pop a poodle

[heyheymymy]

Lid on the rim

Not liking the energy

[slick'81]

Timeout spurs down 9

[tbdog]

Don't like Johnson and Poeltl pick n roll against ayton and crowder. Just not going to work.

[Degoat]

Fatigue is setting in tbh guys arent playing with energy right now

[BackHome]

They need to keep shooting the 3 ball win or loose they need to get better at that and if not then we need to trade them or let them walk

[Dex]

Spurs don’t have nearly the shooters to be shooting this many 3’s. Y’all are open for a reason boys.

You're not wrong, but we are already dead last in the NBA in three-points attempted.

At a certain point, they just need to start shooting more and live with the result...but you aren't going to keep up with today's NBA shooting contested mid-range jumpers and floaters all the time, and we don't have anything that resembles a solid post presence on offense.

It seems like over-simplifying, but it makes basketball a basic game...you hit the shots, you win. You miss them, you lose.

[Kurgan]

$42 million dollar man doing nothing on both ends of the court.

[Barfunk]

Smh both free-throws fucking missed

[slick'81]

Jesus white stop the bs

[Dex]

And then White fouls the three-point shooter.

Dude needs to get pulled like NOW. It is obviously not his night.

[Slippy]

they are taking what the defense gives them ... open 3 after open 3 ... brick brick brick clank iron clang clank airball brick

Not true after going 5of 6 in the first q they were always going to guard in 2nd..Reckon there were 2 open thees and the rest were guarded. I remember Primo and Trey were the open ones. I could be wrong but most had hand in face.

Terrible start to the 2nd half.

[slick'81]

Down 14

[Dex]

I am so tired of this Jekyll and Hyde shit with White and Walker.

[slick'81]

I am so tired of this Jekyll and Hyde shit with White and Walker.

even worse when white is the highest paid player on the team

[Degoat]

I'm getting annoyed with Keldons Def this year, he gets burned on every drive even by Jae crowder lol

[Barfunk]

Alright, this will be a loss.

[slick'81]

Suns making murray work for everything

[slick'81]

Ewwwbanks time

[emanueldavidginobili]

Lonnie should have stayed in the G League longer.

[boutons_deux]

Johnson + White equals 6-20

[poopbox]

Eubanks comes in and instantly can't catch a req league pass :lmao

[Dex]

Well you got what you wanted, SpursTalk...Pop is resorting to playing Primo.

[Degoat]

Was jock just a make wish signing for the spurs, why not give him a chance?!?

[slick'81]

Well you got what you wanted, SpursTalk...Pop is resorting to playing Primo.


what's wrong with that

[Slippy]

Eubanks comes in and instantly can't catch a req league pass :lmao

This . Banging my head

[Robz4000]

:lmao Lonnie

[slick'81]

Suns swatting everything sa throws up there:rollin

[Dex]

Lineup on the floor is Jones-Forbes-Primo-Walker-Eubanks.

If that's not waving the white flag in the 3rd quarter, I don't know what is.

[Dex]

what's wrong with that

Nothing if you don't like winning games, I guess.

I like Primo but it's pretty apparent he is not NBA ready yet.

[poopbox]

Eubanks :rollin

[Barfunk]

Bring us back Forbes

[slick'81]

Lineup on the floor is Jones-Forbes-Primo-Walker-Eubanks.

If that's not waving the white flag in the 3rd quarter, I don't know what is.

starters were already waving ,tbh

[PhantomDashCam]

The fact we are only down 12 is somewhat of a minor miracle.

[slick'81]

Nothing if you don't like winning games, I guess.

nothing worng with that when starters are shitting the bed

Hey, they're making a mini-run.

[slick'81]

Hey, they're making a mini-run.

:lobt2:

[Barfunk]

Also, only 7 attemps for Murray.

[Slippy]

Hey Drew instead of trying to get a putback dunk how about you go with 2 hands to grab it. Ffs

Fumbles and cant even set screens properly.

If Pop wanted to be adventurous should of gone Jock instead.

[objective]

$42 million dollar man doing nothing on both ends of the court.

True.

I hated that possession where it looked like Murray had been forced to pick up his dribble while McDermott in the corner was repeatedly waving his arms up and down calling for the ball, covered and while Murray had no angle on the pass.

Instead of moving and going to the ball to help Murray, he just stands there with a man on him demanding the ball in the corner.

[slick'81]

:lmao Forbes

[Dejounte]

Waive Eubanks tomorrow. Do it. Dude is not a basketball player. Just jumps at everything. Has no fucking brain.

[slick'81]

Hey, they're making a mini-run.

Usually, runs are supposed to make the deficit smaller :downspin:

Primo tends to lose his man off ball to much, needs to work on that

[objective]

Comparing Primo's play to every other Spur ... Looks like nobody is NBA-ready.

[CGD]

Spurs definitely offering Ayton an offer sheet this summer right?

[slick'81]

Forbes leading the charge

[Dex]

Waive Eubanks tomorrow. Do it. Dude is not a basketball player. Just jumps at everything. Has no fucking brain.


a total spazz indeed


eubanks is god awful out there

No wonder Thad thinks that his situation is "not ideal"

Imagine being stuck in an NBA rotation behind Drew Eubanks.

[MultiTroll]

Comparing Primo's play to every other Spur ... Looks like nobody is NBA-ready.
This. Like we wanted him thrown out there in a flusher game.

:lol Sniffers.

suns are definitely matching right ?!

[Slippy]

Couldnt stop a lob pass from other side of court.

Surely pop has seen enough of Drew.

[slick'81]

15 point lead down to 9

[slick'81]

Pop going with his energy unit:hat

[PhantomDashCam]

Primo’s defence has really improved. Huge strides in short amount of time.

[emanueldavidginobili]

That lineup did alright

[Degoat]

Did yall hate that Eubanks dunk? lmao jk

[slick'81]

Did yall hate that Eubanks dunk? lmao jk

ewwww

[Kurgan]

Nothing if you don't like winning games, I guess.

I like Primo but it's pretty apparent he is not NBA ready yet.

If we were serious about winning games, we wouldn't be starting McNugget

[Slippy]

Primo with a couple of blocks at the least.. very active on d even when behind he doesn't give up. Thats why you play young talent.

Comeback perhaps. Got it under 10 going into 4th.

[Kurgan]

Pop resting the starters for tomorrow I guess

[objective]

How could Primo get a block leading to a bucket to end the third?

Doesn't he know he belongs in the g-league?

i just wonder if Jock could actually be worse

Nah, let's just continue to overrate players who haven't proven their value yet.

Walker and White obviously aren't the saviors. Neither were Bertans or Samanic. Johnson is still on the bubble.

I think Primo has a future ahead of him, but just putting him in a losing game isn't going to magically save the game OR make him better.

Frankly, the only legit NBA players we have on this roster are Murray, Poeltl, McDermott, and...maybe Young, and he doesn't even want to be here anymore because he is stuck in a minutes battle with Ewwbanks.

Everyone else has a lot to prove. Stars show up every night, not once every handful of games. Change my mind.

[slick'81]

4 blocks for primo suave:wow

[Dejounte]

People hate Forbes when he gets any minutes

but for me, I hate him most when he takes on the alpha role with the deep bench

[Trill Clinton]

The Forbe show

[slick'81]

Spurs hanging around

[Dex]

Okay I take it back, START PRIMO :lol

[Degoat]

I thought primo was going for the dunk there lol

[Slippy]

Primo another block.

This how you find out about young talent. Give them experience

[Leetonidas]

Primo has really nice two way potential

[slick'81]

Okay I take it back, START PRIMO :lol



bbb but hes clearly not ready

All credibility lost with that statement. McNugget is a white Bryn Forbes and easily the worst contract on the roster

[Slippy]

Primo deserves all the credit to bringing the spurs back into this game. Setting the tone on d leading to easier points for the spurs

[slick'81]

Forbes en fuego

[spurraider21]

:lmao that rebound effort

[slick'81]

7 point game

[spurraider21]

5

[slick'81]

Lol kj

[slick'81]

Mc buckets!! Time out suns!! Tie game

[Barfunk]

Mcflurry!!

[spurraider21]

murray scores 4 straight to bring it down to 3

[PhantomDashCam]

DJ is a boss

[Uriel]

Forbes is a high risk, high reward player.

[Sugus]

:wow

[Trill Clinton]

LFG!!

[spurraider21]

all tied up. murray to mcbuckets for 3

[slick'81]

Pop pushing the right buttons per par

[Dejounte]

Is it just me or has this game been the longest game ever? I feel like the pace of the game has been so slow. No one running from either team.

[poopbox]

Primo needs whatever minutes KBD was getting and needs to be a safety valve for when white and/or walker are playing like trash

[itzsoweezee]

hell yes

[emanueldavidginobili]

This team has some fight in them

[slick'81]

Forbes is a high risk, high reward player.

yup! Hit or miss for sure

[Slippy]

Great comeback. Showing some fortitude.

Need to continue with stops

[slick'81]

Fckn crowder

[slick'81]

3 point shooting contest in this one

[Trill Clinton]

Get the ball out of CP3's hands

[offset formation]

Primo needs whatever minutes KBD was getting and needs to be a safety valve for when white and/or walker are playing like trash

If history is precedent with Pop, he won't see the court again for two weeks.

Can't let the kid get too big a head:pop:

[slick'81]

Forbes wants to shoot soo fckn bad

[Slippy]

Need stops yet need that floor spacer.

Comon on pop bring in primo for Bryn. He been out there too long.

[Dex]

All credibility lost with that statement. McNugget is a white Bryn Forbes and easily the worst contract on the roster

Hm, he just had 8 points to keep the Spurs in this game and actually knows how to move on offense....but OK.

[slick'81]

dont hurt em dex

[heyheymymy]

Proud of the team for showing some grit

What a nice comeback

[Slippy]

I couldnt find your like button.haha Pop has probably seen too much of primo.

[MultiTroll]

Well you got what you wanted, SpursTalk...Pop is resorting to playing Primo.


Nah, let's just continue to overrate players who haven't proven their value yet.
STFU, seriously. :lol
Go back to sniffing a pair of Pops shorts you purchased.


How could Primo get a block leading to a bucket to end the third?

Doesn't he know he belongs in the g-league?


4 blocks for primo suave:wow
:bobo

[Barfunk]

200 straight chip shots missed by Pertle

[slick'81]

Come on dammit

[poopbox]

Poeltl with these pussy ass flip shots :lmao

[Trill Clinton]

This pop a shot shit!:flipoff

[Dex]

Jak usually gets those little toss ins...good shots

[Degoat]

and that right there is why Jakob is a liability on offense lol

[aksyunstar]

damn thats like the first time ive seen jakob missed two shot attempts in a row this season

[slick'81]

Pop a poodle failing him

[Slippy]

Too soft jacob.. damn needed rhose easy points
