San Antonio Spurs 2020-21 Season Thread: Puro Pinche Loteria

[ztejas 43741]

I've always liked Rudy. I know some of you are not crazy about him but he has a knack for making timely plays - which sometimes we struggle with. 

[ztejas 43741]

Straight whipping that ass right now. This is a playoff team. I said it preseason and I'm sticking by it. I'm not sure we are even a dark horse but we are solidly a top 8 team in the West. I'd love to see the Lakers in the playoffs. 

[Radical Larry 28673]

100 points with 5:40 left in the 3rd is pretty good.

[ztejas 43741]

We are better without LMA. It's plain. It's obvious. Find a team that could use him and make it happen, PATFO. 

Poeltl has been absolutely killing it in his absence.

Pop: Let’s run some clock....

Lonnie: Nah, it’s chuckin’ time.

[Braff Zacklin 13672]

Easy to tell which Spurs got major minutes in the fourth--they all had huge minuses next to their names.

I realize the game was in the bag and all, but geez, take some pride in your job, guys.

Yeah. We got outscored by 27 in the 4th. Up 38 after 3. Hard to find anything to complain about tonight but c'maaaaan. 

[Mitch Cumsteen 18655]

Pretty impressive tonight. No, I'm not talking about the win, but Quindarry (however the fuck you spell it) Weathherspoon fouling out in 10 minutes of garbage time. That's like fouling out of a pickup game. How do you do that? Nobody is playing hard, the refs swallow their whistles because they just want to get the fuck out of there, etc. Congrats Q. Job well done.

[BradInATX 9208]

Late to this party, just watching on DVR. Got damn. The deals we got turtle and DJ on are absolute home runs. Jakob is so much like Splitter it's uncanny. Kinda soft on offense but drastically underappreciated by most fans.

DJ only has one tool left to find before he's a superstar, which is consistency. Everything else is there. He's so good.

Trade LA or send him to the G league. Extend Demar.

We're making the playoffs.

Yeah - I peeped Murray's deal after that 8 steal night. Highway robbery. He's a $30M player.

Poeltl is better than Splitter ever was. That block he had where he saved the ball falling out of bounds was so awesome.

I'll take Splitter being underrated to the grave. I know his signature play was getting packed by LeBron, but we missed him when he left. I'm with you though, Poeltl is a hell of a player.

[Kermit 3160]

It’s going to be a fun game tonight. I haven’t had a chance to see the youngest Ball in action, but the great Ben Taylor from Thinking Basketball has a segment on Ball’s nascent career. Dude can pass.

While watching the last game, they threw a stat about the rodeo road trip. It read something like pure domination except for the last couple of years (paraphrasing). Then Sean went into how all opponents would hate facing the Spurs during their road trip and how the team became a unit to not mess with. 

I would like to think the Spurs just took over the city before game time and left the place plundered when they left.

Anyway, the RRtrip got started the other night.

Young teams play a whole lot better with confidence. Hopefully this trip can build team confidence that can add to more consistency

Yeah, I saw that when they played Houston. The young guns were scoring then came a time when Wall or Cousin got pissy. Derozen stepped in with the OG mentality basically saying you mess with them you gonna have to mess with me. They step down. 

Something tells me the team is being coached by Becky.

[Kermit 3160]

No Gordon Hayward tonight.

Everything tells me that this team is still being coached by Gregg Popovich.

[Pam Cummings 9696]

White/Murray show early, love the aggressiveness.

[Kermit 3160]

Patty Mills throwing up bullshit, turning the ball over, and not guarding anyone. And now his basketball AIDS has spread to the rest of the team.

How can Drew Eubanks guarding a guy like Rozier ever be allowed? How can the other 4 guys on the court see that and not fucking help? How can Pop not call a timeout immediately after and ream everyone in the ass?

Poor Drew. That’s going on every highlight reel. 

[Pam Cummings 9696]

Rozier has jacked up multiple shots from 35+. If that's gonna be their go-to then i feel good about our chances.

 

And yeah, next time call glass you fuck!

[Pam Cummings 9696]

Guess Lonnie heard you guys. Making some positive plays tonight. 

[Braff Zacklin 13672]

Did the Spurs miss a shot in that quarter? Jesus.

[Horny Bull 2766]

 

[Pam Cummings 9696]

Keldon Johnson is an absolute man.

[Kermit 3160]

How the fuck is that a goal tend, if you slap the backboard after the ball caroms off of it? Players do that shit all the time.

Refs not wanting to admit a mistake per the usual

[Pam Cummings 9696]

These refs suck. Ngl, Ball had a couple of times where he def got fouled taking it to the rack. You could hear an audible "what the fuck??" Then the weird whistle and no call for Dejounte on a lot of contact.....

[Kermit 3160]

Yeah, there’s some horrible calls against both team.

[ztejas 43741]

Just sat down. Sounds like I missed another zinger 2Q.

[Pam Cummings 9696]

Lmao at that entire wacky sequence......

[Coach pop a bitch 5773]

Dwhite 

When I was young we used to call a shot like that leche 

[ztejas 43741]

"Cash" I say - as White shoots and hits another wide open 3.

This team is kinda fun.

[Coach pop a bitch 5773]

Pop has a fun team. Murray is is in a zone now. Come playoff time it's gonna be interesting not that I think they can go deep but would love to see how they play in a series with film sessions and learning how to do the little things. 

[Pam Cummings 9696]

Oh good here come the phantom fouls on 3pt shots. I was worried they might put it away quietly.

[Pam Cummings 9696]

Straight up phantom bullshit. God forbid you commit the act of standing within 3 feet of somebody shooting a 3 point shot with under 2 minutes left in a basketball game. That stuff is a real problem in this league.

[Kermit 3160]

These refs need to be fired. This is absolutely atrocious.

[Braff Zacklin 13672]

I look at this roster and I see vets past their prime, underdeveloped youngsters, or middling role players ... yet here the Spurs are at 16-11.

Even so, I ain't complainin'.

2-0 rodeo trip.  Detroit is a big game in terms of its a very winnable game. If they are gonna be a top 8 team they need to win games like that and have a winning record on this trip.

Half the team is out.  Demar, White, Keldon, Devin, and Rudy.
