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

[Spurch]

Sometimes I wonder what the coach and coaching staff discuss with the players during practice and watching film bcuz it's like we come up with nothing new or no game plan, besides running the offense thru white in game 3 nothing new smh.

[TDomination]

This game is so obviously a loss.
Ball going in Denvers favor. But their simply playing better this game. At least game 6 is at home

[Kurgan]

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.

Remember when Pop used to play TD 40 mpg? What happened to that guy?

[Mugen]

Y'all ready for my main man, Danteeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[Slippy]

Spurs need to pound the ball inside . Seeing way too many contested jump shots . I know LA missed 2 easy bunny layups but the fact he got there with ease is a good sign. Also pace will suit the spurs because on offense nuggs getting too many open threes

[Chomag]

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

It's called confidence which Denver now has the world of because of Pop getting cute with his coaching and pet line ups

[Capt Bringdown]

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.

Biggest adjustment of the series. As White goes, so go the Spurs.
Has Pop even made a single adjustment this series?

NBA will want a game 7, so should at least have the refs on our side for that one. Hopefully we show up to play.

[sananspursfan21]

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

All isn’t lost just yet, but we gotta start seeing some pay dirt soon or this game is done

[JeffDuncan]

Think I'll switch over and watch the Thunderefs.

[ShutUp SayItAgain!]

[Mugen]

Monte Morris is just next in the long line of scrub backup PGs that absolutely light Patty up

[Mugen]

He has adjusted in this game tbh. Nothing major but I see some differences on how we are defending Jockitch and Murray.

[Ron Swanson]

Denver will get this up to 17-18. We'll cut it down to 8-10 multiple times but won't get over the hump. We've all seen it so many times.

[Uriel]

Our guys have become timid on offense because Pop messed with their heads by overcoaching them instead of just letting them play freely.

Patty played really well overall man. I hate saying it but its true.

[Spurs 4 The Win]

If Spurs dont get it down to 5 by 6 minutes in the third quarter, turn it off.

[Keepin' it real]

Our guys have become timid on offense because Pop messed with their heads by overcoaching them instead of just letting them play freely.

He's having fun coaching this year, so I've heard.

[Mugen]

It's not really that difficult, they had the Nuggets on the ropes in Game 2 and Pop took his foot off the gas pedal...

The Nuggets have got their groove/confidence which is all they needed as long as the series was still close....They are still the vastly more talented team so there's really not much the old can do at this point. He lost the series in Game 2.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Stop with the soft ass fadeaway’s

[sasaint]

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.

It is a team of soft losers. Pop unintentionally tied his own hands by signing LMA and then doubling down on Dumbmar. He cannot get in their faces like he could the Big 3 (and consequently all their teammates). He knows that those twinkies would absolutely curl up in a fetal position. He has no idea how to coach this team. Consequently, we get the coach unable to coach his way in an emotional sense, and he relies even more on his flash-card tactics/rotations. It is literally the worst coaching scenario for Pop, and he has to realize it. But he is such a stubborn jerk that he won't change the roster or step aside.

[FkLA]

No better way to set the tone for the second half than a soft ass, ugly fadeaway. What a ing loser.

[TimDunkem]

FADEAWAY 2S IS NOT WINNING BASKETBALL

[Raven]

they better come out with the intent to kill
