Game Thread: PLAYOFFS. Rnd 1, Gm 5: Spurs @ Nuggets — Tue. (4/23) - 8:30/C (4:30am Riga Time)

Only down 9 should be a lot worst tbh

[Spurs 4 The Win]

For about a two minute stretch, Spurs just let the Nuggets have everything. No fight on defense. If they even tried, we’re looking at about 6 point deficit

Aldridge missed 3 point blank lay ins, Derozan missed 2, White missed 1, Poetl missed 1.
14 points left on the table, pathetic

[TheRemix]

Wow. DeRozan not in for the last 6 or 7 minutes of the half. He must be in the dog house. Or hurt.

If it's doghouse, homey might be traded this offseason.

He should be. Just lol at a "star" who can't hit a three to save his life.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

They're doubling Derrick White every time he has the ball what he do you want him too do it's hard enough that he has to give a 100% on D too

[Trainwreck2100]

Only down 9 should be a lot worst tbh

yeah they could be down 11

[Spurs 4 The Win]

He should be. Just lol at a "star" who can't hit a three to save his life.

This, how hard is it to learn to take 3 steps back and hit the more efficient shot... I mean, ing Jokic shoots 3's as well as Derozan, wtf

[GreekSpursfan]

This series is over, they are more athletic, move the ball well and their best players actually play well and fast. Tank next season tbh.

[TimDunkem]

Aldridge

I can't wait for the next regular season when someone of the homers bumps the "Aldridge ball isn't winning ball" after a 30 pts on 26 shots performance vs the Phoenix Suns, tbh.

I always thought the push back on that was so strange. Literally no one here thought he was a winner when he was with the Blazers, but he suddenly "leads" the team to a 4-1 exit and less than 50 wins and he's suddenly a God. Sad where this franchise has fallen.

And now we completed the set of three stooges with Gay and DD. It's a team of losers.

[BackHome]

To be honest Denver is throwing up a lot of prayer shots that just happen to be going in

[FkLA]

there's not that many buttons pop can push. derozan/aldridge/white are all ting the bad. patty started off with good effort but has gone full re . bertans has become timid on offense.

our guys just have to knock down the bunnies. turning away easy points that turn into transition on the other side

That ing idiot could've played his big guns heavy minutes in Game 2 and stepped on their ing throat when they when they were ready to die. Instead he stuck to his bull rotations because he's a pompous asshole that has let the fact that he is the GOAT get to his ing head. Playing his top guys regular season minutes (which are already low to begin with bc he's the genius that invented DNP-rest), throwing in the towel way too prematurely, hockey subs, etc. That's all bull no other coach does in the playoffs and it's something he himself would've never done early on in his coaching career.

[Genovaswitness]

I think White foot is acting up again would be suprised to see him again.

Muh foot. that was half a year ago

[Spurs da champs]

DeRozan sucks, lol.

[Ron Swanson]

Only down 9 should be a lot worst tbh

Give it time.

[Mugen]

At least we won't have to worry about a Game 7

[Capt Bringdown]

Going back to the last game, the Spurs have lost 6 straight quarters of basketball.
The season is most likely over.

[Mugen]

To be honest Denver is throwing up a lot of prayer shots that just happen to be going in

well the Spurs are missing point blank layups

[Spurs fever]

Who's got more heart... DeRozan or Aldridge?

[DPG21920]

well the Spurs are missing point blank layups

Yeah - all the other bull sh*t aside, if SA just finished at the rim it’s a 1 point game.

[Immortal Spur]

we need an alpha.. we use to have 4 at one time... law of averages now i guess

[TheRemix]

Blown layups, missed freebies, can't get an open shot. What a disaster

[TDomination]

I cant believe this series is going to come down to who practice layup drills more

[Kurgan]

This, how hard is it to learn to take 3 steps back and hit the more efficient shot... I mean, ing Jokic shoots 3's as well as Derozan, wtf

Correction - he shoots them much better than Demar. Defrozen is less qualified to shoot the threeball than most nba big men.

[Chomag]

White struggling a bit because Denver coach has adjusted to disrupt him....yeah I know we don't get to see adjustments that often from our Coach so we don't realize it when we see it.

[ginobilized]

They are playing like a junior high team.....so disappointing.

Why can’t they make the Nuggets pay for blitzing, over playing the ball and double teaming.
The Spurs looked like they’d never seen this. Hope they regain their b-ball sensibility and compete.
24 mins is plenty of time.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Nuggets didnt adjust to us for 3 games and we gave away Game 2. Lets hope they give away a game to us and we figure them out soon... But knowing Poop, that wont happen
