Game Thread: Spurs @ Pelicans — Dec. 27th, 2020 - 6:00pm/C

Why are we blaming the young guys? We lost because of that worthless got LMA.

Also this.

[Chinook]

If nobody thinks Lonnie did anything wrong, then why the is Lonnie himself upset at what happened?

First, there's a difference between believing a guy could've played a possession better and freaking out like you are.

Second, he's upset at himself for not winning the game. I think the play was for Walker to come off a curl for a three. He and Gay mistimed the pass, which is why Walker was inside the arc after catching it. He tried to find a way to get a three, and he might've missed an open player (I don't know if someone was). Had the play gone off well, it'd've been an opportunity for him to get some real clout and even more shots at being a closer. Sucks that it didn't work out for him.

Got Lakers, Lakers, Utah, Lakers, Clippers coming up...

Could easily turn into a 6 game losing streak

Prove me wrong that 5 point play was bs? Your team was also a lottery team last year so I don't think you have room to talk about your team being a power house. It was a garbage win by your squad it is what it is. Then again I don't expect white trash like you to understand.

Pelicans fan coming in to talk after a early season win when they won't even make the playoffs after allegedly drafting the next Lebron is hilarious. Congrats on your fat and short Greg Oden.

I really hope that they diversify the offense a bit more when Derrick gets back. Sure, Demar has been fine in the closer role in the bubble and the first 2 games but they've got capable playmakers, especially when Derrick returns tbh.

Murray had a nice little streak, Lonnie is a good playmaker, etc.....all of that took a backseat when Derozan came back even though he was off most of the night.

Stop letting them off the hook. DeMar wasn't exactly hogging the ball and there were plenty of lulls where the young guys just wanted to pass the ball to the next guy and shrug their shoulders.

For the playmaking talents that they maybe might possibly have, they were too scared to make the attempt at showing them tonight.

[Darth_Pelican]

Refs definitely sucked. The only thing more suspect than the refs are Zion's knees carrying all that weight.

You’ve been around this site long enough that I respect your input man. I hope you & your family have a happy New Year!

[John B]

Oh wow, multiple end of game situations? MULTIPLE? ing crazy he's not Robert Horry yet then. Yes, , I watched the game, and the play was drawn up to go to Demar and Lonnie ran it as drawn. It was ing obvious. You seem to be one of the only ones who can't understand this.

Lonnie should’ve made the layup, then go for a steal and foul.

Lmao why are you so upset? You Sound like a snowflake, nobody is drawing up a play for Demar to take the 3, Lonnie was the only reliable 3 pointer shooter all night, GD you dumb

[MannyIsGod]

If Spurs wanted to win, Patty would be in. They went with the young guys to help them get close out experience for the playoffs.

That lineup had no pure 3 point shooter. Pop was 100% going for something bigger than the W.

[paperboy77]

Again, Jak is a starting center in this league. Sure he's soft at time especially when finishing at the rim but he's solid at everything else offensively and they're better defensively when he's on the court. I really hope they can trade LMA for an asset by the deadline but i doubt it tbh

.

I'm a patient man but LA is well past his welcome. I wouldn't even mind losing a few game showcasing him for some distant promise or whatever. Used to love LA and he did some good for us. I truly think Pop ed up a lot of opportunities with him. Still... it's time to bull another team into giving us something of valuefor him. LETS DO IT PATFO! Quit being a and come on!!!!!!!!

[phxspurfan]

loss is on Pop tbh. Bad prep of the boys down the stretch. Couldnt close it out. Theyre not that young, its not alp on youth, its on executing wel drawn up plays and getting stops. The guys have length and speed to get stops and theres no excuse for that abomination of a final play. They need more practice together and better coaching.

[murpjf88]

Steven Adams is Pop's daddy. He's owned the Spurs since 2016.

Ok fine man. Happy new year. I wanted to talk some tho. lol.

[timtonymanu]

Darth is good people, tbh. He's not like Bynumite who's post count consists of mentioning the team he hates the most. He actually brings discussion to the forum.

[R. DeMurre]

Gotta be happy with how the team operates when Poeltl's on the floor so far this year.

vs Memphis: 19 minutes, +14
vs Toronto: 19 minutes, +10
vs New Orleans: 23 minutes, +15

[Chomag]

Where’s Aldridge?

who?

[MannyIsGod]

lol if this is how Spurstalk reacts after a good loss in a year we probably won't make the playoffs then I'd hate to see this place in a real tank.

[Dejounte]

Is Pop realizing that Aldridge is a huge liability on defense?

[timtonymanu]

38 year old Duncan on multiple playoff runs and les >>>> slow footed, declining 35 year old Aldridge.

I know it's unfair to compare anyone to Tim, but holy Aldridge can look like a 40 year old the way he moves on the court.

[DAF86]

B2B on the road, missing our best player, with our veterans sucking, and a historic low number of FT's. It's probably a good sign they lost only by 3, tbh.

[murpjf88]

It was a terrible loss if the Spurs want to entertain thoughts of making the playoffs. This game was very winnable.

[Degoat]

Yeah LMA needs to go, I doubt it happens but geez he’s been terrible
