They're beating themselves..

[Ocotillo]

When old man Rudy is playing like that, go ahead and give Luka Sandwich a shot. Cannot be any worse.

[Degoat]

That's on Pop. Spurs run the same play over and over again ad nauseum. Easiest offense to game plan against in the league. Pop and the simulator crew are on autopilot from a coaching perspective

Maybe, honestly I kind of blame the players though, they go absolutely numb when teams go into a zone, they're professional basketball players they should know how to beat a zone.

[RD2191]

Can't wait for the excuses as to why we lost this one.

[Uriel]

Wow, can't wait for Derrick to get back.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Just admit you aren’t watching the game and keep it moving. Lmao

the offense struggled when Boston went to zone. The bench players came in with 3 minutes and some change left in the 3rd quarter. The offense was in the 3rd well before the subs utions occurred. Turnovers and poor defense killed us this quarter.

1 point in 4 minutes scoreborad watching.

[NASpurs]

I missed the third quarter and come back and I would had been more surprised if the Spurs had kept the 10+ lead. Now being down 2 isn't surprising.

[John B]

Poeltl just pulled the chair on him

[CGD]

Come on Pop! Put LMA back in so he can impress Ainge so we can deal.

[John B]

Wow, can't wait for Derrick to get back.

Yup for one game until he injures his little toe this time

[Amuseddaysleeper]

When you are dog defensively and dead last in guarding the three you are always going to let every single team in the league get back in it

Boston just woke up and realized they're playing against scrubs, tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Imagine how good that bench would be with a ball handler like Haliburton.

[John B]

I went to take the trash out and Spurs are now down.. geez

Pop let them compose themselves with a good ol timeout up 13. The only elite coach on that floor got his guys and coached them up to go on an 18-3 run and take the lead

[John B]

Let's go Spurs!

[Kurgan]

Maybe, honestly I kind of blame the players though, they go absolutely numb when teams go into a zone, they're professional basketball players they should know how to beat a zone.

We have some of the lowest IQ vets in the league. That's why a simple zone is adequate enough to fluster our group

[John B]

Finally!

[RD2191]

I went to take the trash out and Spurs are now down.. geez

But enough about the Spurs

[NASpurs]

Pop let them compose themselves with a good ol timeout up 13. The only elite coach on that floor got his guys and coached them up to go on an 18-3 run and take the lead

Imagine this team with a modern coach and not some old fart thinking he's still in the 90s playing 90s players

[John B]

Gay wasn't looking!

[John B]

Okay Mills can sit down now. Put back the starters.. leave Vassell in for Lonnie for defense.

[PhantomDashCam]

A couple of friendly bounces for DJ and Mills. Those shots looked long.

man that bench consisting of Jacob and Devin really did a bad job helping us get the lead back......
