Those were mostly fluke wins

Poor Nigerian prince :cry

[Barfunk]

Rockets being little tank blockers again.

[slick'81]

Finish the story San Antonio! Its L time

[lefty20]

Coach Hardy and Kessler look like they are brothers, just noticed that.

[Thomas82]

The Spurs with a lead at the end of the 1st quarter. They seem to want to end the streak tonight.

[Thomas82]

Rockets being little tank blockers again.

It would make it that much sweeter if we can beat them at their own game this weekend.

[spurraider21]

markkanen seems like what we were always fantasizing Bertans would be

[Leetonidas]

Sochan playing like ass

[lefty20]

Sochan, and the team in general, look lethargic af tonight.

[Thomas82]

All these missed free throws are killing the Jazz so far.

[lefty20]

Keldon's confidence from 3 is in the gutter rn.

[KingKev]

Kessler and Markk are > Keldon, Sochan

[poopbox]

All this tanking has taking a toll

Only the diehards left to post in game threads tbh :lol

[slick'81]

Spurs setting up the inevitable 2nd half collapse

[davi78239]

The jazz playing like complete ass tonight. Unless things change, we might win unfortunately

[Barfunk]

It would make it that much sweeter if we can beat them at their own game this weekend.

Agreed. Would be nice if we could sit Keldon and or Sochan.

[Coasting]

Kessler and Markk are > Keldon, Sochan

Not saying much when Markkanen alone is better than those two combined right now

[Cardinal]

We're back on track for the L. Things going according to plan. Don't like Sochan's demeanor tonight. This will be a loss where it's hard to find a lot of positive takeaways. Maybe Wesley's defensive hustle is a bright spot.

[Thomas82]

Agreed. Would be nice if we could sit Keldon and or Sochan.

I would be down with that.

[Thomas82]

The Spurs refuse to roll over in this one. It looks like the Jazz will have to just take this one from them.

[Leetonidas]

Sochan finally woke up

[SPURt]

Branham looked like he’s in hella pain

[SPURt]

McBuckets showing up for his people

[SPURt]

Spurs throwin haymakers tonight, glad Branham came back. He must’ve been having poop cramps

edit: he didn’t come back…

[Thomas82]

I guess the streak is about to end tonight.

[lefty20]

Mavs seem unable to buy a win with both Luka & Kyrie playing together, except against us of course.

[John B]

No Spurs No! :lol

[lefty20]

Much needed bucket for the Spurs by THT

[SPURt]

THT with Joseph Smith guiding that one in

[DPG21920]

Blake Wesley is showing some DAMN STUFF right now on the defensive side of the floor. Love to see it!

[John B]

I hate THT, but les go! :clap

[MultiTroll]

McBuckets showing up for his people
I will hunt down McForbesbot and pop tonight if he has the game winner

[lefty20]

well fuck!

[slick'81]

What is this winning?

[Thomas82]

Well, I guess we'll have to start all over Thursday against the Pacers.

[davi78239]

If Vassel comes back, are we gonna lose out on being in the bottom 3?

[MultiTroll]

Talk to me.

Are Jazz throwing these last 2 minutes?

[SpurPadre]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

[Robz4000]

:pctoss

[SPURt]

The Spurs won?

[SpurPadre]

The Spurs won?

Yes, fucking morons.

[scott]

Can't lose 'em all

[spurs1990]

Quin Synder giving his old mentor a fig leaf

[MultiTroll]

:flipoff Jazz
:flipoff Popped
:flipoff McForbesbot
:flipoff KJ

[SpurPadre]

This almost feels as bad as Game 6.

[Mr. Body]

Quin Synder giving his old mentor a fig leaf

Uh...

[John B]

Well it’s time to start another losing streak

[SpurPadre]

We've got to regroup from this setback and get back to the gameplan. Rockets know what they're doing.

[Thomas82]

Well, we can't lose them all.

[Mr. Body]

Starting to see some stuff from Blake, which is awesome.

[Thomas82]

We've got to regroup from this setback and get back to the gameplan. Rockets know what they're doing.

The Rockets know exactly what they're doing and not even trying to hide it.

[SpurPadre]

Well, we can't lose them all.

The Rockets can, that's the problem.

[lefty20]

Well, we can't lose them all.

[Spurs Homer]

Not enough keta bates

pop dropped the ball

keta needs to play 48 minutes to secure these losses

[TDomination]

Cia pop

Win this one, keep showing that we’re trying. Not tanking but then go in and lose both to rockets.

[SpurPadre]

This has to be among the worst losses of any playoff team this season.

[DPG21920]

I cannot believe a 16 game losing streak was not enough to cement SA in the bottom 2 lmao. Unbelievable luck that Cade is hurt and DET is so damn bad without him in a year they should have had more wins.

SA going to finish 3rd or 4th now instead of bottom 2. But as long as its bottom 3 that’s about as good as one can do I guess.

[SPURt]

Yes, fucking morons.
:lol :toast

[Seventyniner]

I guess the Spurs didn't want a winless February bad enough.

[Harry Callahan]

Looks like SA is locked into the top 3 spots now with 20 games left. That long losing streak did the trick.

It will be really funny when they win the first spot again.....when a high level prospect is there.

[Barfunk]

Lol

[XDT76]

Don't like that Pop doesn't play Barlow and yet don't send him to G league.

[Thomas82]

The Rockets can, that's the problem.

A split against them would be a miracle.

[John B]

That was an ugly game to lose a game. But it took an opponent to shoot 35.3% FG, 29.4% from 3pt and commit 20 turnovers to win a game. If ever, it follows a rational that this team will win only if an opponent played poorly.

4th quarter Sochan was a bully. And there were lapses of Blake that he could score and play defense. But of course, majority he's still all over the place, but the talent, athleticism and specially the swagger is there. The kid is fearless attacking.

Malaki played poorly. He had a couple of quality shots, but I think he could be a little aggressive.

I was really rooting for the Jazz to win. It wasn't a win of executing good basketball, but more of who committed more mistakes, and Jazz did. Well, off to the next losing streak.

[rogcl1]

Don't like that Pop doesn't play Barlow and yet don't send him to G league.

Maybe he wants him to see and get a taste of the bigtime.

[baseline bum]

Ugh what a demoralizing win

[spurs10]

Ugh what a demoralizing win Hopefully we can get back on track!

[slick'81]

What a horrible way to start the stretch run of sucking

[XDT76]

Maybe he wants him to see and get a taste of the bigtime.

He used to play him then against Utah just stops totally. This is the year to play young guys with potential.

[duncan2150]

Starting to see some stuff from Blake, which is awesome.

The defensive part was really interesting, he was active.

[KingKev]

Coach Pop needs to run a Devonte Graham / Keldon Johnson hero ball program down the stretch for close games like this.

F - Coach Pop but we were going to break this streak sooner or later.
