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

We have to get through this stage of being trash. No team can be great for ever. If we don't tank we're gonna stay irrelevant for the foreseeable future. Too much luck is involved if you draft outside the lottery.
Hoping White will become something, hoping Murray will evolve and be better than before his injury. We can't rely on hope and luck, we need at least one sure thing.

No . Doubling down on a team just ty enough to sneak into the playoffs is not how you do it though. But tanking just wouldn't be the Spurs way, right?

Should have missed the playoffs I don’t care what anybody says. Total waste

much of the damage is self inflicted, so I'll disagree here.

[cd98]

Not watching game. Keep hitting refresh on ESPN and it still says 49. Can’t be right?

[YoungbuckMurray]

That effort by Gay come on

[sasaint]

Denver going for the jugular now

When you watch the Spurs, it is odd to realize that some teams do that.

[Ron Swanson]

Three Spurs looking at the ball while Craig gets the rebound and is fouled.

[Capt Bringdown]

Interesting to see DJ on the bench all smiles. I ain't smiling at the tv screen. Denver Herb is good?

That social media

[Spurs 4 The Win]

Look at the bright side, if we had won Game 2, we wouldve been the first team in NBA history to give up a 3-0 lead. Bunch of gutless maggots. I care more than these ing losers that they are getting destroyed.

[TDomination]

And some of youbdumb s think White has star potential in this league

What an ignorant statement. White was easily the best overall player on the team. Our defense was abysmal without him. With him, its avg. He cant do everything man. 2nd year player. Hes got a bright future.

[lefty]

Phil Jackson > Pop

[BillMc]

Spurs gonna score 90 tonight?

[emanueldavidginobili]

49 points mid way through the 3rd lmao

[YoungbuckMurray]

That must be over 10 missed open layups. Unacceptable by an nba team

This definitely could have happened

[objective]

I don't know why Pop doesn't give Lonnie some run with the starters

Same answer as always:

"it wouldn't be fair to the team. These playoffs aren't for him."

25 years old he isnt getting much better if any.

[Chomag]

Well I'm done. Love my spurs but if they arnt going to fight in not going to watch ....g'night fellas

[SpurPadre]

Interesting to see DJ on the bench all smiles. I ain't smiling at the tv screen. Denver Herb is good?

Because he knows he's getting his starting spot back.

[Nuggets!]

What a boring game. I hope Derozan throws a basketball at someone.

[Shakril]

Question: Poeltl Defens Jokic pefectly and stops him, then Mills goes there to Double (why?) and leaves his man open which, well you know the story.

[spurstalk123456]

Down by twenty ing seven points. IN THE PLAYOFFS!

[Spurch]

The way this Spurs team is playing really bothers me, I'm so disappointed, don't even feel like watching

[Nathan89]

I'm still high on white but that may be because I'm low on the rest of the team tbh. I need to like someone.

[marinoman]

I said it before the game and after, we needed game 2, especially since we were up big
