Game Thread: Spurs @ Pelicans -- Fri. (11/20) - 7:00PM CST (3:00AM Riga Time)

[Budkin]

We sucked tonight on both ends. WE won't win against good teams like this. Pop should have tried Anderson earlier on Anderson. At least 3-4 minutes, and gone to Ray when Patty was getting blown by, to give a different look to Smith. After guys get in rhythm, playing at home its too tough to turn back the tide. Sometimes Pop doesn't experiment enough for his own good, and keeps going with what doesn't work already.

He does this every year. It's just part of his overall plan and coaching style... but damn it's frustrating.

[SAGirl]

That was Duncan's first ever game without a rebound

[SpurPadre]

I don't know why people keep acting like Anderson is a scrub

He's good no doubt but a 30 ppg scorer?

[Kawhitstorm]

Man if the Spurs lose Ginobili to any kind of serious injury they're ed. He's really the only floor general the Spurs have.

He's the most valuable bench player in the league. Even the Warriors can get by w/o Iggy b/c they have Livingston.

[sasaint]

At least OKC and Houston lost again... but this is our current worst loss of the season. Just embarrassing.

More embarrassing for being on ESPN. Right now Elliott & Land spinning like crazy on Postgame.

Pop is too stubborn at times. Tonight was the perfect night to mix it up.

He should have played zone when Asik/Gee/Cunningham were in the game b/c nobody on the team can stay in front of Ish. It's just like Monta Ellis get into the paint at will.

LMAO @ Jalen Rose claiming that he has never seen LMA get blocked shooting his fadeaway (shyt is urban legend level ala Kareem claiming nobody ever blocked his sky hook):

Bill Willoughby blocked Kareem's sky hook. I remember watching it.

[Kawhitstorm]

Why do ty teams always play their best game of the season against us? God ING DAMIMIT!

Idiot, the Spurs have been feasting on ty teams to the tune of having the 2nd best record in the league.

[DarrinS]

I thought they said he averaged 20+

Wilt/Wills Reed/Walton used to swat his shyt regularly. There is a clip of washed up Wilt blocking him twice on a single possession.

[SpurPadre]

I'll be positive and point out that West is looking more and more comfortable with the team and is looking better on D.

[SpurPadre]

17.6

Pop might have wanted to lose the game to give himself the right to criticize the team since they were on a 6 game losing streak. They were winning game ugly so there was a lot of material for the film session

[sasaint]

At least OKC and Houston lost again... but this is our current worst loss of the season. Just embarrassing.

Trouble is we aspire to compete with the Warriors not OKC or Houston.

[Darius Bieber]

Duncan's first game ever managing 0 rebounds.

[Budkin]

Yes but I think after the season evens out both of those teams will find their rhythms. we just kickstarted the Pelicans rebound.

[Kawhitstorm]

The dumbass is you for looking at extremes. I never said he's a scrub. Is he 28 ppg good?

Idiot, he's the leading bench scorer in the league. It's not hard for him to drop 30 when he's hot.

[SpurPadre]

Idiot, he's the leading bench scorer in the league

Idiot, bench scorers don't average 30 ppg.

[Kawhitstorm]

Idiot, bench scorers don't average 30 ppg.

Idiot, if Tim/LMA were guarding Bonner he would average 15 ppg

[ducks]

Thunder lost

[SpurPadre]

Idiot, if Tim/LMA were guarding Bonner he would average 15 ppg

Now I know you're a ing idiot with that take. Bonner wouldn't average 15 ppg in a wheelchair league.

[Kawhitstorm]

Now I know you're a ing idiot with that take.

You're the stubborn idiot since you aren't convinced that Ryan Anderson could drop 30 against a shyt defense after you JUST WITNESSED him drop 30 w/o making fluke shots

[Kawhitstorm]

Thunder lost

It won't be too long before they drop out of playoff contention after Durant is declared out for the season.

[SpurPadre]

You're the stubborn idiot since you aren't convinced that Ryan Anderson could drop 30 against a shyt defense after you JUST WITNESSED him drop 30 w/o making fluke shots

And you lack reading comprehension since I've clearly pointed out he's good just not someone who should be as good as tonight for 82 games.
