Game Thread: Spurs @ Nuggets — TUE 4/5/2022 — 8:00pm CST

[Dex]

Denver is still fighting for playoff positioning and Jokic has been playing like a man possessed, so this will not be an easy game by any means.

Murray, Landale, Langford and McDermott all ruled out for the Spurs.

BUT...if the Spurs manage to pull off a crazy win and the Suns burn the Lakers later, the play-in is secured.

Come on Nuggets, let us have this one :downspin:

:flag:

[widowmaker]

^^^^^^^^^ LETS GO!! Spurs up hoes down!!

[heyheymymy]

tough assignment for poeltl tonight

already picked up an early first foul

[Dex]

Poeltl with two fouls in the first 90 seconds against Joker.

Dude still can't seem to figure this shit out.

[boutons_deux]

There he goes again. Already. Primo passes to the other team never fails every game more than once

[heyheymymy]

pop preserving poeltl subs zolllins in immediately on that early foul

[heyheymymy]

Zollins subbed in so early he's still facing starter competition

[Robz4000]

:lol NBA isn't even trying to hide their intentions with these calls

[Barfunk]

I'm not getting the game on KDF, sweet!

[Dejounte]

Keldon is so explosive hot damn

[boutons_deux]

Looks like the Spurs came to play, keep it up. There's four quarters

[spurraider21]

i know jokic is a handful but my god poeltl craps the bed seemingly every time

[widowmaker]

Damn poddle wasn’t even fouling that Russian

[Dex]

Vassell with a big stretch here....two straight threes and then a tough drive for free throws. Love the intensity

[Dex]

AND THE PUTBACK SLAM!

Something woke Vassell up

[Slippy]

DV got that shot going.

Good start despite Jacob early to bench

[mo7888]

Who's replacing Sean tonight?

[boutons_deux]

I remember Pop used to say never give them the baseline. Always dry them to the middle where they'll find help

[widowmaker]

Damn poddle wasn’t even fouling that Russian

[widowmaker]

They need to bring the bitches back for our timeout entertainment. I hate seeing those soy drinking yoga pant wearing mother fuckers dancing around.

[Mr. Body]

I remember Pop used to say never give them the baseline. Always dry them to the middle where they'll find help

??

Has that changed? Old days, Spurs would always funnel guys to the baseline. Gives them fewer options and into the shotblockers.

[widowmaker]

If thats not indication that jrich is a ballplayer lol.

[widowmaker]

Lonnie walker sucks dude. Hes the new forbes

[NickiRasgo]

Is Murray's injury is more serious? Thought he was just rested against the Blazers.

[widowmaker]

Watch how nobody wants to pass walker the rock

[lefty20]

Joker gonna joker

[spurs1990]

This guy Jolic brought the ball up the court three straight possessions and scored twice without the ball ever leaving his hand. 7’1 center shouldn’t be able to do that

[BatManu20]

Jakob can’t guard Jokic. Too weak. Joker’s making it look easy against him.

[Sugus]

Jokic is such a ridiculously good player, god damn. Absolutely deserving of the MVP this season and hopefully the Nuggets can make some noise, either this year or next one with their squad healthy. What a player and what a team, I'd love to see him win one for Denver someday.

His touch around the rim is ridiculous. I want every Spurs rookie draftee playing waterpolo ASAP

[Slippy]

Nicola dominating Jacob. dancing on him. Spurs gonna have to start sending more help.

[Sugus]

Jakob can’t guard Jokic. Too weak. Joker’s making it look easy against him.

Lol, it's not about strength at all. Jakob's plenty strong. Jokic is finesse on top of strength, and that makes him such a tough cover. Watch him go toe-to-toe with anyone and get bodied, then flip a ridiculous shot at the rim that goes in Every. Single. Time.

There's no player in the league who can guard Jokic, factually. Not even Embiid could.

[widowmaker]

That mother fucker was sliding

[Sugus]

LMAO I just realized fucking Forbes is playing in this game!!! Mofo looks like a homeless man gotdamn, what happened to him

[widowmaker]

Lol, it's not about strength at all. Jakob's plenty strong. Jokic is finesse on top of strength, and that makes him such a tough cover. Watch him go toe-to-toe with anyone and get bodied, then flip a ridiculous shot at the rim that goes in Every. Single. Time.

There's no player in the league who can guard Jokic, factually. Not even Embiid could.


footwork and anticipation

[DAF86]

Jakob can’t guard Jokic. Too weak. Joker’s making it look easy against him.

Nobody can guard Jokic.

[widowmaker]

They need to watch out cousins punches fuckers.

[Sugus]

footwork and anticipation

Huh? By whom? Are you saying that's all it takes to guard Jokic? Lol

[spurs1990]

Spurs look like they’ll win this game. Denver is sitting like 4 rotational players per their announce team

[widowmaker]

Nobody can guard Jokic.


So is it safe to say they should employ “Jordan” defense?

[Robz4000]

Who's replacing Sean tonight?

Matt Bonner

[PhantomDashCam]

I may be in the minority here but I think this is one of Pop’s finest coaching and evolutionary seasons ever.
This team is absolutely maximising their personnel atm. :tu

[widowmaker]

Huh? By whom? Are you saying that's all it takes to guard Jokic? Lol


Yep. Footwork and anticipation. Not saying he will completely be shut down hes a really good player but you can slow him down.

[Strategic]

Timmy would slap half of these pony baskets out of jokers hands. Damn I miss that guy

[mo7888]

Matt Bonner

Thanks

[poopbox]

I may be in the minority here but I think this is one of Pop’s finest coaching and evolutionary seasons ever.
This team is absolutely maximising their personnel atm. :tu

We'd have 6 to 8 more wins if Collins and Landale played all season at the 4 instead of McBuckets.

[BatManu20]

Vassell came to play.

[BatManu20]

Primo’s been rough. But I like his energy at least. Tre Jones has also looked really good thus far.

[Sugus]

Yep. Footwork and anticipation. Not saying he will completely be shut down hes a really good player but you can slow him down.

Lol, you think teams haven't tried "footwork and anticipation" strategies yet? This is as close a take as "oh I could beat him up if only he'd come square me up" gets. Brother, he's the reigning MVP of the league, gunning for a repeat of it, has dropped a 30+pt triple double on literally every single DPOY candidate -- and you think nobody's tried "footwork and anticipation" against him yet? :lmao

I don't mean to be rude, but if you really think that, you don't know what you're talking about. Embiid, as I said, has both the footwork and the anticipation, and Jokic shat over him when they met F2F a while ago, making ridiculous shots to boot. It's hardly that simple :lol

[PhantomDashCam]

We'd have 6 to 8 more wins if Collins and Landale played all season at the 4 instead of McBuckets.

Do you think Keldon becomes this level of shooter though? Firmly believe Doug had lot to do with that ascension

[widowmaker]

I may be in the minority here but I think this is one of Pop’s finest coaching and evolutionary seasons ever.
This team is absolutely maximising their personnel atm. :tu


Don’t believe the hype. POP is a really good coach and his accolades speak. If Pop was any other coach he would have absolutely squandered the opportunities the team had to win a championship. The guys on here compare pop to phill jackson and doc rivers so make your own judgment on who to believe.

[Sugus]

Do you think Keldon becomes this level of shooter though? Firmly believe Doug had lot to do with that ascension

How so? First time I'm hearing this. Are they close off-court or something like that? I don't think I've seen tape of them training/shooting together, either, and it's not like the rest of the team elevated their shooting either (cough, Lonnie, cough), just Keldon.

[NickiRasgo]

Tre Jones is so composed. Hope he works on his jumper this coming offseason.

[Dejounte]

Never liked Mike Malone after he complained like a bitch when the Spurs were up in the playoff series several years back

[boutons_deux]

Richardson's a keeper

[Slippy]

Like Zollins work on offense. Making Nikola work.

[poopbox]

Do you think Keldon becomes this level of shooter though? Firmly believe Doug had lot to do with that ascension

I did not. To me it had more to do with him and doug on defense together is awful as neither one has the size to guard the 4 and neither one are good rebounders. Keldon being this type of shooter is icing on the cake and means we really should be looking to move Doug for something useful.

[spurs1990]

Spurs winning this game by 20. Denver is unraveling

[bdictjames]

This ball movement is awesome. Hope this continues when DJM comes back! Then, DJM can be our closer. It's a good formula.

[BatManu20]

J-Rich has to make those little 6-8 foot pull-up jumpers. He rims out a lot of those.

[BatManu20]

Keldon playing horrible this quarter outside of his one made shot.

[widowmaker]

Lol, you think teams haven't tried "footwork and anticipation" strategies yet? This is as close a take as "oh I could beat him up if only he'd come square me up" gets.

Doesn’t sound like you have ever played a basketball game in your life. I wont laugh at you though emojis though they are tacky.

[Sugus]

:pop: You see gents, that's why we don't dunk 'round here, the chance of missing the dunk is just too high... :pop:

[Sugus]

Doesn’t sound like you have ever played a basketball game in your life. I wont laugh at you though emojis though they are tacky.

Lmao, I played competitive up till the end of highschool, fella. What exactly screams out to you that I didn't? The fact that I don't buy that an MVP level player can be dealt with with just "footwork and anticipation", both things the DPOY candidates have in spades (thus their good defense), all of which have been shat on by said MVP level player? Gee, what an amazing proposition!

Lazy, no-substance, personal attack level retort. You can do better! Step it up or shut up, no in between.

[widowmaker]

When Robinson was worked by olashowan he got beat because he didn’t have the footwork and anticipation to stop him in 95.

[NickiRasgo]

Tony Brothers. :bobo

[spurs1990]

Jokic should be ejected for confronting a ref that aggressively

[Seventyniner]

Maybe it's a lazy Spurs-centric comparison, but I'm getting Cory Joseph vibes from Tre Jones.

[widowmaker]

Oh no wonder why you are not playing now.

[Barfunk]

Historic Cinderella run incoming. Book it.

[boutons_deux]

Up 20 points of the half on the road against the nuggets?

I'm loving it

[poopbox]

If that was anybody other than Jokic they would have been ejected but the refs need to find a way to keep denver in this game and if Jokic gets tossed they are going to lose by 30

[BatManu20]

Tre Jones looked like an entirely different player in that half. If he can get a that little runner/floater to drop like that consistently a la Tony, he becomes a hell of a weapon.

[Degoat]

Collins has done a better job on Jokic then Jakob has ever done lol definitely got under his skin

[Sugus]

When Robinson was worked by olashowan he got beat because he didn’t have the footwork and anticipation to stop him in 95.

What?? Lmao, no he wasn't. He got beat because, famously (how the fuck are you on ST and don't know this is beyond me), he was forced to guard Hakeem one-on-one after Rodman quit on the team and refused to help. Because that's what you do with overpowering, powerhouse offensive players... You send help. You try to trap them, you play ball denial when possible, you try to keep them from getting position.

The gall to say the fucking Admiral didn't have footwork or anticipation :lmao, I'm impressed at the levels you're go to die on this stupid hill. And I'm the one who hasn't played ball? :lol

Oh crap im impressed!! When are you getting drafted?

[Slippy]

Trey Jones running the show has been superb and that's with no outside shot. Nuggs had no answer for his drives.

DV shooting lights out, full of energy.

Spurs team defense and Zollins work did well to close out the half .

[Sugus]

Oh no wonder why you are not playing now.

Damn, that's even lazier and stupider than your last substance-less retort. I'm bored, you're not worth the trouble. What a dunce...

I've shat on him in the past, but I've been impressed with Tre's game the last couple matches I've caught. His do-or-die will always be the 3 ball, so I'll be rooting for him to keep working on that in the off-season. He really has no other holes to his game, besides the obvious fact that he's not too tall.

[Mr. Body]

Tre is pretty nasty with a head of steam into the lane.

[Sugus]

Oh you got bored? Go suck your moms dick faggit

:lmao

It's on me for not knowing the brain smoothness I was coming up against. Noted accordingly, sad that you've spent 13 years on this site and wasted them all like this. Grow up, then we might chat again...

Na if i wanted to chat with retarded people ill go to the hospital

[Thomas82]

The Nuggets look like a tanking team tonight.

[heyheymymy]

looks like walker is still trying to get his game restored to pre back injury form

[poopbox]

Collins has done a better job on Jokic then Jakob has ever done lol definitely got under his skin


Yeah Collins has always been a physical maybe kinda sorta dirty player on defense

He got them sunken eyes and them dark sports. He looks like the worlds tallest and strongest cokehead. I know him and Quinn Snyder got to move in the same circles

[widowmaker]

:lmao

Look ive been on this site for 13 years ooooooh ive done a bad thing ooooo. Fucking pussy shut the fuck up. Go have som soy and shove that dildo up ur ass faggit.

[BatManu20]

Nuggets are definitely gonna make runs. Will be a good test to see if they can withstand them.

[John B]

I don’t want to pick on Poeltl, but he seems to play scared. I mean Zollins would try to push Jokic out of position while Poeltl almost just gives up. Just the body language between the two is night and day.

[Slippy]

You might have been in your daddy’s sack and moms ass in 95. Mybad

Stfu. You're recollection of 95 is wrong. DAVID was best equipped to guard the dream. He just went another level one on one.

[widowmaker]

Stfu. You're recollection of 95 is wrong. DAVID was best equipped to guard the dream. He just went another level one on one.


Your recollection is very cloudy. It it well known that olawjawan had a better series and why the Spurs lost.

[NickiRasgo]

Poeltl looking like a D-Leaguer here.

[BatManu20]

Spurs start the second half off looking like the blazers :lol

Quick timeout by Pop.

[Sugus]

Hey!! I see you playing now halftime at the denver game!!! Shut up bitch you aren’t shit and never will be but a fucking blogger. Vete a la verga pinche joto

:lmao is wittle widdy gramps here having a widdly ol' meltdown? Oh no! You might have to sit this out, it's not good for your arteries, man! Now tell me more about that '95 season, c'mon...!

[PhantomDashCam]

How so? First time I'm hearing this. Are they close off-court or something like that? I don't think I've seen tape of them training/shooting together, either, and it's not like the rest of the team elevated their shooting either (cough, Lonnie, cough), just Keldon.

I’m not sure of the training together part (although that wouldn’t surprise me), it’s the way Doug created a lot of attention as an absolute sniper. My contention - The trickle on effect allowed Keldon to gain confidence even when his shot struggled to start the year. He was going to be able to get open looks in most situations, just had to start knocking ‘em down.

I found this pretty interesting:

Oh Im GTG washup. Why aren’t u playing since you are so good?

[Dex]

Spurs gone cold in the 2nd half so far

[Dex]

Nice strong move by Poeltl there...not something we usually see

[widowmaker]

Let me finish watching this game. Ill get back to you nose miner.

[NickiRasgo]

Damn what a block by Primo.

[Seventyniner]

Damn that was a great play by Primo to smother Jokic on the double. Timed it perfectly.

[BatManu20]

Jakob stinkin it up out there. Complete scrub tonight.

[Sugus]

Thanks for the article my guy, hadn't read it yet, will give it a go after the game. Interesting theory you got here, I'm certainly hoping it's the case, because Keldon is as close as you get to a confidence-driven player.

[BatManu20]

Spurs prob gonna lose this one tbh. Coming back down to earth and our defense is complete shit.

[NickiRasgo]

Poeltl helping the Nuggets to comeback.

[Robz4000]

:lol Spurs choking to no one's surprise

[Dex]

I'm gonna say it...Primo isn't ready yet. No effect on offense or defense, basically just a body on the floor

I think he CAN be good player, but he looks like a young Lonnie who was afraid to assert himself on the game

[YoungbuckMurray]

You’re crazy if you didn’t see this coming. Spurs always choke away big leads

[Slippy]

Loving the help defense on Nikola so far. Spurs making him work for it. Just need to go at him on offense . Jacob just tried .. damn. Down to 10

[boutons_deux]

Richardson's a keeper

[boutons_deux]

6 minutes in the third quarter the Spurs are -10


Situation like this you find out what kind of equipment they have in their underwear

[BatManu20]

Keldon at the 4 is a nightmare defensively. This team needs a PF in a bad way.

[Barfunk]

Spoke to soon.

[BatManu20]

Lonnie is invisible out there.

[3&D_TBH]

Keldon at the 4 is a night are defensively. This team needs a PF in a bad way.
Sochan from Baylor
:hungry:

[BatManu20]

Yea Spurs suck again :lol

[YoungbuckMurray]

Our bigs miss every chip shot

[poopbox]

This game is going to come down if we can go on a run when Jokic sits down. Denver is going to smoke us with him in the game. Richardson is finally having a bad game as well. Need him to wake up.

[Mr. Body]

Has Lonnie ever hit two threes in a row?

[widowmaker]

Everytime Lonnie walker hits the floor they sink.

[John B]

Vassell needs to light up

[YoungbuckMurray]

Such a pathetic quarter

[BatManu20]

Pop bitching out Lonnie after the timeout. He might not see another minute.

[widowmaker]

Cause walker is just shooting lol

[itzsoweezee]

Terrible D. Wtf

[poopbox]

Pop yelling at Lonnie :lol

I bet he can't wait to get out of San Antonio :lol

[widowmaker]

“But I’ve played before I know whats happing and what they think” lmao. Silly people.

[BatManu20]

Lonnie :lol

[Mr. Body]

This is where you gotta learn and grow. Denver is a good team, they took a hit and are hitting back hard. What do you do?

[heyheymymy]

lol tre Jones just won a jump ball against n jokic

[Sugus]

This is where you gotta learn and grow. Denver is a good team, they took a hit and are hitting back hard. What do you do?

Denver is also one of, if not the most, resilient teams in the league. Came back from two separate 1-3's in the playoffs with Jokic at the helm, too. This was bound to happen and it's anybody's game right now, IF the Spurs finish the 4th strong... Great game for the youngings.

[spurs1990]

Walker is inching closer to being replaced by one of three first round picks

[Dex]

Lonnie :lol

Always been the problem with Lonnie...he shows up a quarter at a time. Dude has a serious Jekyll & Hyde complex.

[boutons_deux]

Such a pathetic quarter
-14

[poopbox]

I don’t want to pick on Poeltl, but he seems to play scared. I mean Zollins would try to push Jokic out of position while Poeltl almost just gives up. Just the body language between the two is night and day.

That is because Jakob is a pussy. He always goes into a shell when a big gets physical. Jokic knows this, which is why he averaging around 30 a game on Jakob. He legit just bulldozes him every play.

[John B]

Spurs need to just shoot and feel they belong in there. They can’t play scared

[John B]

Zollins diving for the 50/50

[John B]

That was a good help defense though

[Sugus]

Great sequence by Tre, I like what I'm seeing...

[John B]

Devon!

[John B]

Sneaky Tre Jones

[spurs1990]

Good job on stemming the tide. Confidence building win

[Uriel]

Love how there's always a contingent of Spurs fans in Denver.

[poopbox]

Damn Forbes can't get any burn in this game :lol

[Kurik]

I don’t know if it’s nerves but Primo seems to have trouble handling just simple passes coming his way and then makes some good pass like it’s nothing.

[widowmaker]

Spurs are doing great!!

[Mr. Body]

Primo has issues he has to figure out, but he does some nice things. He's coming around.

Denver's in some trouble. The Spurs managed to stop the bleed and figure out how to get points without Murray.

[NickiRasgo]

Collins deserves to finish the game instead of Poeltl regardless of outcome.

[John B]

Zollins!!

[Dex]

Damn Forbes can't get any burn in this game :lol

:pop: He spreads the floor

[widowmaker]

Spurs need to just shoot and feel they belong in there. They can’t play scared


The guy to do that is Keldon.

[NickiRasgo]

Poeltl about to sub in, here comes Nuggets comeback.

[poopbox]

Got it back up to 16 and we putting Poeltl the Pussy back in to get his culo destroyed by Jokic

[widowmaker]

Lonnie stops the drive and kicks.

[Slippy]

Josh Richardson with another big three in this 4th

[John B]

J-Rich with ice cold 3

[BatManu20]

Primo has been awful

[Kurik]

Poetl learned the ways or it helps Jokic got tired.

[widowmaker]

Joker is hella tired.

[John B]

Finally

[John B]

Lakers is getting eliminated tonight :lol

[Mr. Body]

Second best player on the court: Tre Jones.

[widowmaker]

All those pussies. “Spurs cant win this game”. Fucking pussies pack it up.

[John B]

Tre Jones!!!

[Uriel]

If you had told me before the season started that the Spurs would eliminate the Lakers from the playoffs, I would shit my pants.

Yet here we are.

[BatManu20]

J-Rich! LFG

[YoungbuckMurray]

Man I love J-Rich

[Leetonidas]

Wow

[BatManu20]

Tre Jones has been a total difference maker tonight. Wild.

[John B]

Tre!!

[Seventyniner]

What a sequence.

Jokic is a fucking warrior though. He just isn't getting the help he needs.

[widowmaker]

Footwork and anticipation.

[Mr. Body]

Poeltl played Joker much better in the 2nd half. He learned something.

[Kurik]

It’s crazy how much swag this team has right now, a lot of it thanks to Jrich for sure.

[SPURt]

Poppa, can we keep him? Pleeeeaaassseeee

[TDomination]

Heck yes spurs!

[Slippy]

Josh Richardson with another huge three.

Tre Jones best game yet. Coming up with key plays on both ends.. injured ankle and all

[Degoat]

Play-in here we come! Lol

[Dex]

http://media0.giphy.com/media/rl0FOxdz7CcxO/giphy.gif

[spurs1990]

Revenge for 2019 complete

[widowmaker]

What a sequence.

Jokic is a fucking warrior though. He just isn't getting the help he needs.


come to the Spurs

[Kurik]

Poeltl played Joker much better in the 2nd half. He learned something.

I agree though Jokic is incredibly drained gotta give credit to Collins for that.

[John B]

This group has that dog in them. Tre wanting to be there. J-Rich shooting not scared.

[Mr. Body]

Tre Jones, 9 assists, 0 turnovers.

[TDomination]

Hack a poeltl

[widowmaker]

Eliminate all these people that say the Spurs “cant do anything “

[Slippy]

Ffs pop get Jacob out of there hack a time

[PhantomDashCam]

If you had told me before the season started that the Spurs would eliminate the Lakers from the playoffs, I would shit my pants.

Yet here we are.

We celebrate differently here in Australia. :lol

[widowmaker]

POP

[TDomination]

Poeltl shooting like a 90% shooter

[Barfunk]

Lol hack a Shack

[John B]

Poelyl just needs to keep sinking them

[SPURt]

Nuggets playing like some dirty curs

[Sugus]

Ahh, bad time to go 0/2 there, Jak

[Sugus]

LESSSS FUCKING GO!!!

[SPURt]

Damn Jokab!!!!

[TDomination]

Wow poeltl with an attitude dunk!??

[Kurik]

Poetl dunking like Kobe!

[BatManu20]

Jakob with the exclamation point alley-oop. Nice.

[TDomination]

Win of the year!!!

[Slippy]

Fantastic win. Lead all the way

[Barfunk]

PERDLE

[Robz4000]

:wow Spurs held on to a big early lead

[DAF86]

That emotion from Jakob. :wow

[TDomination]

This team is truly fun to watch! Love it

[widowmaker]

I do not respect anybody that doubted the Spurs tonight.

[Seventyniner]

Poeltl says HACK THIS MOTHERFUCKERS

[Proxy]

LMAO Rivers air ball

[TDomination]

SPAM!!!

[John B]

Tre is legit

[lefty20]

Well damn. Proud of the boys for starting with urgency and then punching back after Denver fought back in the 2nd half.

[widowmaker]

Poetl dunking like Kobe!


Na kobe hit a mountain and disintegrated.

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs prob gonna lose this one tbh. Coming back down to earth and our defense is complete shit.

I knew right then and there they were gonna win this :lol

[DAF86]

This would be, what, the 8th win in a row if not for a missed layup?

[Sugus]

So much for the "Jakob can't perform an alley-oop dunk which is why the Spurs don't do it" theory. Likewise, with Tre launching the lob, my "Dejounte needs to practice and add lob passing to his game because he can't do it yet" theory gains steam...

Separate note - is this Tre Jones' best game of his career thus far?

[boutons_deux]

The Spurs fucking did it, beat the nuggets on the road with a huge fourth quarter wonderful

[Barfunk]

Now hopefully the Suns take care of business

[Biggems]

This game reminded me of the Amare Suns. We used to let Amare go off, and beat the rest of the team soundly. We let Joker go off, but beat the rest of the team soundly.

A great win.

[TDomination]

:wow Spurs held on to a big early lead
Not only that, they re established their double digit lead after Denver came within 4 points in the 3rd. I think that’s even more impressive

[SPURt]

I can’t remember a player shooting as bad as Primo but being a net positive. Great win tonight, might be the best win of the season and DJM didn’t even play.

[Dex]

Didn't just beat the Nuggets, but straight up whooped them on their home floor.

Didn't see that coming.

[boutons_deux]

This would be, what, the 8th win in a row if not for a missed layup?

A layup missed due to a hard foul not called

[RC_Drunkford]

gotta say this team has really developed a lot. Beating the Nuggets on their home floor by 19 without Dejounte, McDermott (who was a starter for most of the season) and Landale? That seemed impossible a couple months ago. They are becoming one of those classic machine like Spurs teams that will carve you up if you're not on point

[DAF86]

This team is truly fun to watch! Love it

And it has been like this all season long. For a team with more than 10 losses than wins. Compare that with the abortion that was Aldridge and DeRozan ball, even with winning records.

[Sugus]

The discussion took part on another thread, but this is absolutely one of the benefits of aiming for the play-in instead of tanking out the season. Great morale boost and especially so for Tre, dude played possessed tonight. Hope DJ gets back to form sooner than later though, he's the Spurs' main cog despite this win without him.

[heyheymymy]

7 straight games now with 20 or more points for KJ

[poopbox]

I'm proud of Poeltl in the 4th quarter. Sowed his hymen back up just enough to keep Jokic shorts white instead of blood red

[TDomination]

I’d choose this team over last 3 years 100 times out of 100, night and day. If we do actually make play in, I’m gonna be legit pumped to watch those games to see what these young guys can do!

i agree 100%

regardless what happens the rest of the year, this momentum I believe will transfer to next year and we will have a much better start to the season

[John B]

J-Rich hitting some big shots at the end. Tre just calming presence as primary ballhandler. Vassell hitting some solid also. Poeltl finally waking up at the end. Great game.

[wildbill2u]

These Spurs youngsters have to be proud of themselves the way they are ending up the season. They'll make the playin when virtually nobody expected them to. And they have been fun to watch. Can't ask for anything else from this bunch.

[Sugus]

The fuck is wrong with this board, Jesus :lol

[Uriel]

Spurs just eliminated Lakers from the playoffs. :lol

Next on the agenda: getting #9 from New Orleans.

[itzsoweezee]

Dominant performance. Now let’s go suns

[spurs1990]

And it has been like this all season long. For a team with more than 10 losses than wins. Compare that with the abortion that was Aldridge and DeRozan ball, even with winning records.

Derozan has been on an absolute tear his last 5 games 37ppg and 54/55 FT. A true win-win for both parties

[heyheymymy]

phx suns 11-0 run over 2:40 now up 9

[Budkin]

Spurs just eliminated Lakers from the playoffs. :lol

Never saw that one coming this season. Crazy.

[GAustex]

Spurs winning this game by 20. Denver is unraveling

Nice call

[Seventyniner]

Next on the agenda: getting #9 from New Orleans.

I don't want #9 tbh. The Spurs have been better on the road than at home this season.

And if the Pels finish ahead of the Spurs outright (no tiebreakers), the Spurs get a better draft slot. Win-win.

Oh now. You were waving the white flag a couple of weeks ago. Fuck off bitch ill ignore you from here on out phony.

[BatManu20]

I knew right then and there they were gonna win this :lol

:lol just doing my part tbh.

[Spurs Homer]

I have absolutely been down on tre jones all season…

but i can see tre working on his 3 pt range this coming summer and moving up a level or two

he seems to have the motor and the will…

im gonna hope he stays the course

[Sugus]

Oh now. You were waving the white flag a couple of weeks ago. Fuck off bitch ill ignore you from here on out phony.

You can get off my dick safely, my guy. Don't get hurt on the landing!
