GT: Spurs @ Bucks presented by Patty's Bad Haircut - 3/25/18, 2:30/C (10:30P Riga)

Murray is such a ing re . All-irrational confidence team member.

[BillMc]

I think he was willing to go for a quick-two there and was trying to get Murray to drive and either make the basket or kick it out.

This. Murray apologists can blame Pop all they want. It was a boneheaded play.

[rude1_79]

Wow, call a timeout pls. Not sure I trust any of the 3 guards on the court to get a 3 on the fly like that.

[FkLA]

DJ had played adequately enough not to be replaced by TP or god forbid Forbes.

That last play though... blame goes to Pop, then the team on the court not getting into motion. DJ is a ing kid tbh, and not one you can trust to make something happen in that juncture of a game

Poop should've definitely called a timeout but DJ is a ing re too. Who the does he think he is dancing around and pulling up for a three? Penetrate and get a quick 2/kick it out to a teammate who can actually shoot if the defense collapses.

[Chinook]

I'm as okay with this as I can be for a lost (and not just because I have LMA, Green and Mid in fantasy). Pau came to life again, Gay looked good for the most part (except he let Shabazz son him on the boards like 10 times in a row). They guys who will have to hold the fort going forward did their jobs. The defense was good, despite the score. The Bucks made a number of contested jumpers to expand their final lead. The rebounding was apparently good too, even though it looked like dog to me.

1-5 when you start the game threads. Just give it up b Dex

I think he was willing to go for a quick-two there and was trying to get Murray to drive and either make the basket or kick it out. It wasn't a bad idea considering MKE had guys like Henson and Giannis on the floor who can't be relied on to shoot 2/2 in clutch moments. With the way the team had been shooting threes, I don't think it's absurd to not rely on them getting a good shot at the end.

Or maybe Murray expected the Bucks to play the %'s and foul in that situation. Pop should have been the adult and called the time out and taken the ball out of Murray's hands.

[Spurtacular]

Murray didn't even look at the sideline. No chance for play or a time out. Young Westbookian stupid.

Unless they changed the rule, the coach can call timeout.

Not calling a timeout before a boneheaded play is made is a boneheaded move.

[Keepin' it real]

Pop coaching the closing seconds like he had TP, TD and Manu out there.

Last game, we saw he finally learned to foul when up 3. Maybe soon, he'll learn not to tell his inexperienced PG to hurry and run a play when he still has a timeout in his pocket.

[TheGreatYacht]

Murray didn't even look at the sideline. No chance for play or a time out. Young Westbookian stupid.

Why would he look at the sideline? Poop wasn't calling a play. He was just winding his arm in a circular motion basically saying to hurry up.

Im willing to bet on Pop's mothers life that he was drunk during this game. Seriously. He gave it away when he was telling the ref Murray was pushed out of bounds when there wasn't a Buck within a 20 foot radius

B..b..b..but Dex said that this game against the Greek Freak and long athletes who give the Spurs trouble was the most winnable game left on the schedule!

29-8 at home, 14-23 on the road.

What gives?

[paperboy77]

Just saw the end.. why didn’t they call timeout? Questionable at best.

[SpurPadre]

Murray never should have had the ball in the first place. He should've been in a corner if they wanted to leave him open for a three, then that's the only reason to be settling for a Murray three.

So he got the board and dribbled across the court to heave a desperation 3? WTF? I don't care how young he is, that was ing stupid.

Kawhi is soft as , that's why, tbh.

[TimDunkem]

There was a good 8 seconds before anyone other than Murray decided to move on offense. Pop should've used the timeout. Period.

Pop often will not call a timeout in that situation, in order to keep the defense scrambled.

Considering the guy with the ball is 21 with little experience in that spot, I probably would have burned my last one to set something up.

McDonald is a PATFO slurping apologist. He's just happy to have a job and give other teams a chance.

[SpurPadre]

DJ giving Fathead a run for his money as the worst possible player to have the final shot with the game on the line.

That le will always be Bonner's, tbh.

Yup. And all other four Spurs above the top of the three line and nobody setting a pick.

That has been a problem all season, no cutters and awful screens
