Game Thread: Spurs vs Pelicans — August 9, 2020 - 2PM CT

Game reminds me of game 1 of the 2017 wcf. Best player goes out and spurs fall apart up by 20+

Agreed.

[Mugen]

If anything can come out of the team's implosion after he got injured is how important he is.
Pop starting both Forbes and Murray over him looks like a travesty this year.

That's been apparent to anybody with half a brain that's been watching them. The only moron who couldn't figure that out was the Old Man

[Kurgan]

Dumbar is paid $28 million. Let's see if the overpaid choke artist is actually worth anywhere near that much.

[Mugen]

Bro, do you know what a contusion is? You don't actually need an MRI to tell the difference between a bruise and tearing ligament. Now he might have both, but no, they don't by default call ligament tears contusions pending MRIs.

Oh Chin, my man. You're in for some bad news.

[NASpurs]

just fast forward this team to the lotto already and cancel the rest of the games.

Great now walker is hurt

[gambit1990]

white is going to be out for a long time.

[SAGirl]

Lonnie Walker's knee...

[SAGirl]

white is going to be out for a long time.

I don't expect him back in the rest of the bubble games. Let that knee heal at this point.

[MultiTroll]

Bailed out by Rudys 3 + 1

Wth is the offensive strategy?

[8sy21vd]

Nice one Rudy. Now do that 10 more times and the Spurs might win by 2 lol.

[Chinook]

Oh Chin, my man. You're in for some bad news.

It's not about news. It's about the fact that they don't call tears contusions. They're two different types of injuries. If you were like, "I think it's an ACL", then I wouldn't had an issue, because the way White reacted seems like he knows something bad happened. This game is too important for him to think it was fine to ask out just because he's sore. But it's the fact that you're saying that they call tears contusions as a matter of practice that's the issue. They don't. They just call then knee injuries or strains. What they're calling the contusion is when White banged his knee at the end of the half. He may have also torn something in the second half, but they aren't diagnosing that yet.

[Dejounte]

Raise that trade value, Rudy

[Seventyniner]

Is it just me or was Zion carrying the ball like a running back at just above waist level, but they called a shooting foul anyway?

[Dingle Barry]

It's not just a knee contusion. That's just what they call it before a player can have an MRI. DWhite's injury looked like a ligament one unfortunately.

They certainly do not regularly call torn ligaments contusions before the MRI.

[Chinook]

Raise that trade value, Rudy

I'm telling you. Ideal thing would be to pass him off to GS for value somehow.

[talkspurs]

Question to a Vet like yourself.

I don't recall Alpha ing it up prior to 2003. I mean he wasn't surly with the media, actually had a radio show.

Wonder what changed in 2003,

Oh Yeah wasn't that the year the REAL pillar of Spurs Culture DAVID ROBINSON #50 RETIRED...

Pop wasn't EVER gona try to out Alpha Drob....

I had thought the same thing just could not tell the exact year. I also thought his coaching went down as he tried to be the "tough guy" instead of worrying about basketball.

Big 3 from LWIV

2017 wcf game 1 flashback

Injuries can change the entire future/direction of a franchise.

[8sy21vd]

Nice stroke from walker there.

[ace3g]

[Dhbsr555]

Raise that value Rudy
