Let’s get that Tank Rolling :lol. Go Lose Go!!!

[slick'81]

Another win for the good guys tonight. Race for playin is on!!!

[emanueldavidginobili]

Arguably the biggest game of the season so far.

[Robz4000]

Spurs need to look themselves in a mirror, dig deep down, and tank this game like their lives depend on it.

[John B]

Pop is too proud to tank on purpose

[Degoat]

Spurs win big in this one, I’m calling a big DV game now

[emanueldavidginobili]

Man I am pulling for Jakob, but he needs to start being physical. I know that is not in his DNA but god damn does he get shit on by almost every decent center in the NBA.

[Degoat]

Jakob consistently gets owned by any big that can score

[lefty20]

Time for Valanciunas to get his 50?

[Robz4000]

Time for Valanciunas to get his 50?

Here's hoping tbh.

[John B]

Let’s get this tank rolling :lol

[John B]

Jakob consistently gets owned by any big that can score

B-but Poodle is a top 10 center :lol

[Leetonidas]

Spurs already down 15 points with 4 minutes in the first still :lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

Huge game in terms of standings for play in game and they're getting absolutely dominated.

[Leetonidas]

Make that 20 :lmao

[John B]

So Jock has been playing PF with Zollins at C

[Barfunk]

Fackkk

[Robz4000]

:rollin

[Robz4000]

RIP Lonnie

[lefty20]

Definitely needed a good start like this one after that LW game winner.

[emanueldavidginobili]

This is a great opportunity for Primo to step up and show something.

[emanueldavidginobili]

PF/C please make a move/draft one.

[lefty20]

Good news boys, we've more than tripled the lowest scoring quarter in nba history.

[Degoat]

Holy shit guys lmao is this intentional tanking or we just suck

[murpjf88]

Zach Collins is one of the worst NBA players I've ever seen.

[bdictjames]

This is embarassing. Those jerseys are horrible.

[Robz4000]

Holy shit guys lmao is this intentional tanking or we just suck

Yes

[Barfunk]

Is somebody being held for ransom or something?

[John B]

Wow :wow

[Barfunk]

Just let Murray chuck for a 50 point triple double or something

[John B]

Primo just giving them a head start

[murpjf88]

Primo just giving them a head start

Primo does nothing.

[Harry Callahan]

Spurs will win this game! It's crazy to think that, but they are playing the NOP.

I prefer a nice solid lottery pick for SAS which has not occurred in 25 years.

[Barfunk]

Pop!

[Robz4000]

:lmao that fucking wink by Pop after getting booted

[lefty20]

Lmao Pop gonna open up that bottle of wine and watch the Big Dance instead of this shit.

[Robz4000]

Pelicans might beat the Spurs by 50 tbh.

[John B]

Pop has early dinner reservation :lol

[John B]

Did Pop just smirk before he walked out? :lol

[Barfunk]

Becky better be next coach up

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Pop trying to pull every trick to get some fire into them but to no avail.

[John B]

Is Becky calling the shot?

[John B]

:lmao that fucking wink by Pop after getting booted

I thought I also saw that too :lol

[Barfunk]

Yeah, we're not coming back from this deficit.

[SPURt]

Any news on Lonnie’s vagina?

[John B]

Tre taking that open 3

[bdictjames]

Our offense is terrible. No flow, no routine at all. This is nothing like those old Spurs teams.

[murpjf88]

Those old Spurs teams had talent and a coach who gave a shit.

[mo7888]

Any news on Lonnie’s vagina?

It's quivering...

[slick'81]

No lonnie,no chance.Way to roll over spurs! This is as shitty as it gets

[John B]

31 pts half-time deficit. Pencil in that L bitches :lol

[Slippy]

Cant watch atm, just following boxscore . .. their version of the twin towers dominating it seems.

[Slippy]

No lonnie,no chance.Way to roll over spurs! This is as shitty as it gets

What happened to Lonnie?

[spurs1990]

33 points at the half?? How the hell did they beat oaklahoma

[timtonymanu]

Even if they lose this game, they're still in contention for the play-in. Good god the West is so horrible now.

[timtonymanu]

33 points at the half?? How the hell did they beat oaklahoma

OKC is just a little worse than us.

[Harry Callahan]

Welp. I'm wrong. It's a loss. A good loss to be honest. The Spurs don't deserve or need to be in the play-in.

[PhantomDashCam]

What happened to Lonnie?

He seemed to take a knee to the quad, an old fashioned corky is what it looked like. The disturbing thing was that he was clutching his lower back and needed to be helped off the floor. Hope he’s OK.

[Harry Callahan]

Well. Toronto screwed up the end of their game with the LAL in regulation. Westbrick stole a ball and actually made a long three with less than 5 seconds left to force OT. Hope Toronto gets it together and wins against that crappy team they're playing. Need TOR to get in the POs. They take #6 with a win.

[jjspur]

Why did they start Primo ? Come on Pop you could have started Trey if you didn't want to play Richardson. That was a terrible starting 5.

[bdictjames]

Primo's moves remind me of a little of T-mac. Hope we build around him and DJM.

[boutons_deux]

When was the last time the Spurs were down by 37 in the third quarter?.

[boutons_deux]

Primo's moves remind me of a little of T-mac. Hope we build around him and DJM.

Primo is a smooth player but damn he makes a lot of bad passes

[Slippy]

Yikes . Holding his back cant be good. Thanks for the info

[BatManu20]

Raptors blow a big lead at home to the lakers and lose in OT smh. Double negative.

[Harry Callahan]

The Lakers win is kind of good along with the NOP win. The Spurs are going to be 2.5 games out of the 10 spot. The lotto pick this year is a key for the rebuild.

With the injuries of the last two games, the Spurs may struggle the rest of the way to get wins. Play the kids and see what they have.

Still - I'm hoping Toronto can just make the POs and send that pick over this year. More ammo to move around in the draft.

[SPURt]

It's quivering...
How long is that gonna keep him out? Season ender?

[spurs10]

The play-in looks like a long shot. We are getting murdered on our home floor and only beat OKC by a hair.

[poopbox]

Play in? The Pels reached up in our starting centers asshole, pulled his intestines out, and were double dutching with it. We need talent. We need to lose EVER SINGLE GAME WE PLAY for the rest of the season.

We are going nowhere with Poeltl the Giant Pussy playing more than 12 minutes a game here.

Get in there n massage it stat!

[GAustex]

Becky better be next coach up

Why?
She gone
The other dude needs the practice
Plus some say she just ain’t that good a coach
I guess so if you want to signal

[tbdog]

What happened to walker?

[Barfunk]

Why?
She gone
The other dude needs the practice
Plus some say she just ain’t that good a coach
I guess so if you want to signal

I mean yeah, you are right. No use at this point. This game was long out of hand before Pop got tossed though.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

this one was pretty brutal but good L boys

[The Truth #6]

An inspiring loss. Perhaps they’re finally leaning into the tank just a little bit with those lineups.

[DMC]

Statement loss, this should turn the team around. This is what they needed to go into that phone booth as gay looking reporters an come out super men. This is their time, Tissot.

[Fireball]

As we know this team is not tanking, this was pretty embarrassing. First time Murray gets double teamed and everything goes wrong ...

[GAustex]

Strange that legendary all time great coach did not have his team prepared to handle the Murray double team or he able to adjust to it

[KobesAchilles]

Strange that legendary all time great coach did not have his team prepared to handle the Murray double team or he able to adjust to it
I mean KD to this day still can’t handle a double team :lol shit is hard when you’ve never been doubled before

[John B]

Bitches want to tank but bitch about losing :lmao

[TDomination]

after seeing the last 2 games, i'm officially on the tank wagon. please keep losing spurs. i'm ready for this year to be over.

[Spurs Homer]

I want to like Lonnie, but what a fucking pussy…

ooh a knee in my thigh…game over!

fucking pussy, gtf up and suck it up ferchrissakes!

[GAustex]

Bitches want to tank but bitch about losing :lmao
Bitches claim goat coach but is really a coat tail rider
