Game Thread: Spurs at Heat — WED. 4/28/2021 — 7:00pm/C

[Barfunk]

Yea its Pops fault Lonnie, Yak and Eubanks scrubbed it up tonight.

Wasn't talking about just one or this game.

DJ with another triple double 22/10/11

[Kurgan]

Westbrook averaged a triple double for three consecutive seasons so I'm not as impressed with these box score stats anymore. The big three are all infinitely more valuable than Westbrook despite not having the gaudy counting stats

[Slippy]

The Spurs have no clue how to play in his zone defense. So why in the are they running it. Jakob is too far under the hoop and the two back wing players are on top of their guys like they are playing man defense. Lmao.


you can tell they haven’t practice this much.

Noticed that too, Jcob was under ring guarding no one, thats when jimmy and Bam took turns dominating the paint.

Maybe practice enough first before they implement it.

[BillMc]

Well, bummer.

[RC_Drunkford]

Is it me or are these refs that have the worst angle... too frequently calling a foul? Silver's punk ass needs to make adjustments to the way perimeter players can be guarded. These shooters flop at every instance and these refs fall for it.

that was his adjustment. Calling every little contact a foul. Been like that for 3 years now

[J_Paco]

Sometimes, it’s hard to believe we were a 60-win team just a few years ago.

Pretty stupid take when practically no one on that team is here anymore.

This is the reality of any team without a superstar, but ST will cry "cause it's all Pop's fault."

[BillMc]

Good players tonight:
Murray
DeRozan
Vassell (2nd half)
Keldon
Lonnie (1st half)

Bad players:
Mills
Poeltl
Lonnie (2nd half)
Eubanks

Pretty accurate.

That was definitely a desperation move on Pop's part. Miss the days when we had a disciplined team that knew how to play varied defensive schemes

They've had absolutely no practice time with this crazy condensed schedule they're on, so it stands to reason that working on that specific zone hasn't happened.

Also, he likely threw it out there hoping it would take Miami out of their rhythm. Unfortunately, the guys missed some assignments and Butler/Adebayo were able to easily find the soft spots.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

I do like the fight the team has though. It’s just frustrating seeing how bad the defense is and how ugly the offense is.

HOF COACH GOAT IN POOP WE TRUST TEAM COMES OUT FLATTER THAN A 3 DAY OPEN CAN OF COKE

GETS OUTCOAHCED AGAIN BY KID RILEY

POODLE AND HIS FRANKESTIEN FIRE BAD CLOSE OUTS

SPURMS TALK BOLDED DONKS WITH THERE BLOATED BOOK REPORTS FOR SPORTS TAKES

Your takes are too stupid, man.

As if Spolestra isn't an elite coach, with two top 30ish players and yet the Heat are just as mediocre as the Spurs.

Context and perspective will never be the strength of idiots like you or the trolls of ST.

Back under a tornado warning in SA. Looks like there's one on the ground out towards Garden Ridge.

We need another defensive forward and/or wing in the draft, while also finding more volume 3 - point shooting.

Also, DeJounte and Lonnie need to attack more in transition and stop slowing the game down. They are both infinitely more effective on the break and attacking the rim.

[Dejounte]

Dragic wouldn't be a bad FA signing, but he'll probably retire a Heat

[Dejounte]

[poopbox]

People saying Eubanks played bad...he is a 3rd string center he really shouldn't be on the floor at all

[GAustex]

Walker was terrible. Awful. Poor defense. Putrid

the team definitely needs more shooters and defenders. 3&D players at the 3 or 4 spot

i know this take is going to be unpopular but if we had more of those types with Demar we would be a playoff team easily. We have too many bad defenders and mediocre shooters and the actual good shooters aren’t defenders. Lol. Vassell and White are the only two true 3&D guys. Dejounte, I feel will get at the very least average at shooting the 3 though

it was one of the reasons I understood why the front office went after Morris

not too mention he didn’t even get much minutes. Lol

Dieng played pretty bad too tbh

Well yeah but it seems like the ref with the worst view calls the foul. They use to confer and many times reverse the refs call. As an aside there’s a load of new refs out there. Maybe they just are too polite to oust each other?
