Will the Spurs 'show up to play' in Game 6?

Spurs will come out strong and play well but despite that will have small lead at the end of the first due to giving up a ton of offensive rebounds. Denver will overtake SA by a 5-8 point margin at half. Spurs will come out flat and give up a 16 point run in the first 4 minutes of the half. Pop will waive the white flag after Denver leads by 18 at the beginning of the 4th

You gotta remember, the Spurs are extremely volatile. Sometimes they look like the worst team of all time, and sometimes they look pretty damn good. We just have to hope it shifts back to the latter.

I like the positivity, I'll go with that! :bobo

Yeah hopefully that long flight back from Denver gave them time to collect themselves! Watch the tape and then burn! :bobo

I saw that movie! Had a bad ending!

The last time the Spurs were really REALLY motivated -

was when the piece of shit - Kawhitter came to town and the Spurs played their best game of the season -

I expect - THAT TEAM -

to show up tomorrow!

Hell yes!

No. They quit on each other last night. It's done tomorrow and I'm usually an optimistic one...

DDR for sure quit
Need to trade him HWSNBN style

i bet you walker4 will get less then 3min of bball time if they do decide to bend over and take it like a man

At home anything is possible for this season's spurs.

One might make the case that the Nugs had game 1 jitters, and it took a herculean effort by White to get the win in game 3. If the nuggets play well, they win.
The Spurs have been flailing about pitifully since the 2nd quarter of game 4.

Marco Belinelli will be there, ready to do almost as well as Patty does.

Davis Bertans will be there, ready, with his arms flailing, to get pushed backwards by whoever he's trying to guard, all the way across the court, up the ramp and into the tunnel, and on out to the parking lot, on any given play.

Rudy Gay will be there, without the wheelchair he now seriously needs.

And so on, ad nauseam.

So yes, the Spurs will be there. Instead of some different players. Unfortunately.

And Pop will be there, too, ready to coach the team he assembled, ready to draw up timeout plays suitable for wheelchairs and traffic cones, and prepared to sit there appearing to take an interest in the game, as he silently muses about how nice he thinks Hillary Clinton looks in a pants suit.

Yes they'll all show up. Sad to say.

lol

Nope. DeCancer and Rudy Faggot have already checked out. These two shitheads deserve the majority of the blame for the series going south. One is an albatross in the starting lineup while the other sinks the bench. Stupid shot selection, low bball iq along with their whining about the refs. They don't make the players around them better and instead choose inefficient mid-range isos. If they're both still on the roster next year, I won't bother to watch any more Spur games. Rockets had a similar player in Melo and did the smart thing and cut him loose before he dragged them down too much. Spurs won't do this because they value "mah culture" too much.

Know the place was packed last Sunday and extremely loud and he was 'reacting' to the corporate seats behind the bench being slow to make it back from the half-time break.

Today I looked at the site for tickets and there were a ton of tickets for sale, both by the team and the fans who were trying to sell their season tickets. I guess waning interest by the fans is to be expected after a game like last night, but you'd think a home game might bring out the best in the team and they could force a Game 7.

So although the fans did show up last game, I'm wondering if the team will 'show up' for Game 6 and play like it matters? Will they leave it all out there or have their minds on the beach? I'll be watching, but I'm not sure what to expect.

Yall are dumb, I was at the game, the Saturday crowd was ass, they literally were one of the worst fucking crowds I have ever been a part of. I was literally the only person cheering in my section. Mid afternoon games are notorious for that kinda lame ass crowd. Players playing like shit didnt help but lets not act like that crowd was at all decent.

Even if the Spurs somehow win games 6 and 7 they are not getting past Portland.

DDR won't be on the team next year and he knows it. Doesn't really care anymore.

They'll play better tomorrow night. I think LaMarcus will play a lot better and so will guys like Gay, Mills, Forbes, and White. The only players we have that have true playoff experience are Aldridge, Derozan, Mills, Marco and maybe Bertans. White, Forbes, and even Gay don't have that much playoff experience to be fair. Players who are sort of new to the playoffs feel more comfortable at home and tend to play better. I expect that to be the thing tomorrow night.

The players who really need to nut up and play better are Gay, Marco, Bertans, and to some degree Mills. They need to hit their three point shots. The Spurs as a whole need more and better ball movement.

Fantastic post except about not watching anymore spurs.

Ive never been put off by a players game as much as DDR's does.The lack of three or composure, the hero ball antics and lazy d is just yoo much to cover for a guy that has so much responsibility on the team.


Rudi has been a absolute failure in the playoffs when a benchmob leader was required. Has not replicated his regular season play.

They will show up to some extent for maybe 2 quarters and half way through the third and then disappear completely in the 4th when it hits everyone of our bums and scrubs that if they win they have to fly again and sleep in a hotel bed. So tomorrow night during a silly Pop timeout the whole team in unison screams at the top of their lungs "Hell No" we ain't going.

I'll be there court side tomorrow so they better win

You were literally the only one cheering in your section? What section were you in? That would be very strange I have to admit. I was in Section 101 and every seat was filled until garbage time. The crowd was making a lot of noise to the point where I mentioned it to my wife. Now granted they got even louder when the Coyote was egging them on with the offer of a free t-shirt!

I was in 208. It was bad man, nobody wanted to get into it. Not until the Coyote dude the "Loud, louder, loudest" thing and was waving the Spurs flag on top of the Tower of the Americas and then DeRozan had that Tomahawk dunk. But it was too little too late by then. I am a regular playoff goer and, to me, that was the worst crowd I have experienced since Game 4 vs the Clippers in 2015 (another afternoon game if I remember properly). Again, hard to get it going when the Nuggets are hitting literally everything but that is no excuse.

To be fair, the lead personalities on this team are hard to like.

Even White, who we have gifted with the green light to do whatever he wants, is so confusingly gun-shy that it is frustrating to watch and root for him.

Every player on the squad is scared to play with any level of ferocity. Of course fans are disinterested.

The guys should practice more often.

It seems with this team when you are ready or thinking about giving up on them , that is when they surprise you and play their best. Hopefully that trend holds true in the next game.

Yeah it surely didn't help with the Nuggets hitting everything. It is a drag being around a bunch of people like that and I've been there. Tomorrow will be interesting because there are a lot of tickets for sale...and I get it. Maybe things will change and a good crowd will show. I'm thinking the team will get it together. It always helps when the team is making shots and aren't getting murdered.
