Game Thread: Spurs vs Heat — Wed. (3/20) - 7:30/CST, 8:30 EST (2:30am Riga Time)

[Keepin' it real]

Let's get some payback for 6! the Heat ...

It hurts again.

[Hoops Czar]

DeMar will eventually learn how to play smart basketball. He is still learning to play the right way, We Spurs fans are just used to seeing smart/ high IQ basketball players that we expect every single player to be the same. DeMar will learn from those mistakes and will be better next time.

It's his 10th year in the league. It's getting a little late in the game for him to learn new tricks.

Demar has probably been playing basketball for 25 years now, he's not going to get smarter, WTF

had to do a double take when I read that. This isn't Murray/Walker/DW. This guy is suppose to be a vet like the corporate knowledged Patty.

[Mugen]

In the 2018-2019 season, the San Antonio Spurs have exactly 3 wins on the road against above .500 teams

But yeah they'll totally win @Houston and Boston...

[Mugen]

Even supreme leader Patty still doesn't know to ing run a simple 2 for 1 to end a quarter and this fat spends 90% of his day huffing Pop farts.....

He's on his first year with Spurs. Spurs system is different from other teams. There are reasons why some players wants to join a team with a great coach, One of them is to learn more.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

Didn't watch the game at all but is Derrick White injured or something? How come he played so little? Was it simply bc he sucked so badly?

Just to remind you - Demar isn't a Spur because he wanted to join them or play for Pop.

[BackHome]

Hard to win every game we were due for a loss no biggie.

[NASpurs]

Why is my guy BatManu20 not starting this thread instead of loser ass OP tbh.....

you. I did Monday's Game Thread. You know, our biggest win of the season.

Sorry, I just think the bar for being able to create game threads should start at "Knows what date it is"

It will be redeemed with a win, guaranteed, tbh.

smh

I didn't say he wanted to join the Spurs.. " SOME" players!

[KDKSpurs24]

On a positive note. Probably needed this type of game for a reality check and wake up call or whatever you want to call it. We were due a loss. Who knows.. this could help make the team focus on improving enough to win this upcoming games. Guess we will see.

[spurs10]

That D Wade strip was it. He's pretty good. As someone said on the Spurs after game 'If someone were to say after that 1-7 RRT, would you take 9-1 for the next 10?' We have two tough games coming, but we need the challenge. Let's bounce back in Houston!

[TDMVPDPOY]

so after this loss, are the spurs over themselves yet?

[BD24]

It's a bit concerning how much they struggled with a ing 2-3 zone tbh.

[skin27]

Spurs wasted a good game from patty

[skin27]

I watched the highlights..gay missed the wide open 3 To tie the game

[TDMVPDPOY]

cant wait for playoff mode ddr .... that first round exit is going to be epic

[Amuseddaysleeper]

cant wait for playoff mode ddr .... that first round exit is going to be epic

It’s gonna be such a train wreck

[GusT15]

Isn't it to be expected though?

I mean,analysts revel in how we are insisting in the midrange and we are so good cause of it,but zone defense causes the midrange to malfunction effectively every time.

I guess the silver lining is that not all teams have bodies like Bam and JJ to throw at LMA but still better ball movement and 3pt shooting is needed against zone defense.

[Slippy]

Demar had the stop with 13 secs left on the clock.

You are down 3.

What is Demar gonna do,bring the ball down court and hit a 3 in traffic? No? Pass to Patty for a 3? Yes,but you have to be able to make the pass.

You don't let DeRozan bring the ball down court,you call a time out and draw up a 3 point play.

Under 2mins left you would think pop would have this figured out by now. Demar brining the ball up and initiating plays should be a nono by now. This ain't rocket science, we've seen him picked off or fumble away plenty. Only coach can make the adjustment because Demar ain't changing. His mind is set

[TimmyBuckets]

Streak had to end some time.

[SpurPadre]

smh

A fluke 50 footer ed up the win we should've had, tbh.

[duncan2k5]

Disagree. Spurs are a good team. A dangerous team. Besides the Warriors who else is far and away better than us?

You'll see when the playoff comes
