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

[ztejas 43,262]

Saw this floated. This would be a fucking haul.

Boston Celtics Receive: DeMar DeRozan, Trey Lyles

San Antonio Spurs Receive: Marcus Smart, Carsen Edwards, Robert Williams III, 2021 2nd Round Pick (via OKC)

Yuck.  Who would we be getting that would be good?  Flyers on Edwards or Williams?  Bleh.

Sleepy Bob has been killing it in the minutes he's gotten this season. And I like Smart.

[Kermit 3,128]

We need more guards?

Yeah positionally it's not optimal. I do really like Williams, though. I'm also wondering how much trade value y'all think DeMar has. Isn't he on the last year of his deal?

[Kermit 3,128]

Do we have to trade him? Perhaps trade LA for a bucket of Cardi B’s pussy juice.

I don't think either team benefits from that trade. Boston would really miss Smart and don't need DeMar's skill set.

What about Phoenix? They could do the same deal but for Bridges, Kaminsky, and 2022 2nd rd draft pick.

Dj's jump shot seems to be coming around 

[Pam Cummings 9,560]

Murray with 6 steals already, early in the 3rd.

[Radical Larry 28,528]

Make that 7.

[Radical Larry 28,528]

Rudy, you're not Curry. 

[Radical Larry 28,528]

I'll allow that, though.

I'm not sure how they won that game. White, KJ, Gay and Patty were a combined 11-44. White himself was 1-11 and a bunch of those should've been easy buckets. Whatever. GSG. 

Run it back again tonight. 

[jeevsie 3,720]

So Draymond had money on the game?

Fully expecting an L tonight, because we play like shit on the back end of B2B, but the upcoming schedule looks prime for a run. Looks like the next 8 games are all against sub .500 teams (and the Pacers, who are right at).

This team hasn't exactly been taking care of business against shitty teams last year and this year though, so who knows, could go 4-4 during this stretch.

Because we held GS to 100 and guys outside of those 4 showed up - including our 2 best players.

I didn't watch the game but he was especially annoying last night from what I saw. Not that I have anything against Steph, but the preening when you're sitting below .500 is a little obnoxious. Act like you've been there, because we know you have.

He took a desperation heave 3 pt shot with about 7-8 seconds left.  Looked like he thought he would get fouled, but it was a bad play.  Then he took the last shot too - not that it mattered by that point.

[Patrick Bateman 3,903]

It was glorious..... he thought he'd get fouled and the defenders like..... why would we foul you?  You can't hit shit.  LOL!!!!  Steph's reaction is hilarious.

They should draw this interview out another hour. It's really interesting. 

[Coach pop a bitch 5,459]

Did I really just have to listen to oberto for the whole quarter? 

[ztejas 43,262]

Mills and LW on the court together should never happen.

Show him some more respect. He almost scored 1,000 points in a Spurs uniform.

I love how Rudy Gay absolutely refuses to help defense. Is that Steph Curry coming right at me? Better step aside and let him score.

I think so. He's such an ISO guy who doesn't contribute enough when he's not the primary focus.

Yeah well I maybe spoke too soon since we're getting outscored 36-15 right now in the 3rd quarter.

This is fucking terrible. 

[ztejas 43,262]

Patty fuck offffff

[Kermit 3,128]

Patty: I will make the hardest three one can make.

 

Also Patty: I will blow every layup and also force shots in the paint at inopportune times. 

[Patrick Bateman 3,903]

14-11.  Not bad as we start the RRT.  7 away games but the nice news is none of those games are killers.  Who's the best team?  Indiana?  And we're actually 7-3 on the road.  We got the league right where we want them..... GSG!

Yea were are at the place you don't want to be.  Not good enough to seriously compete, but not shitty enough to rebuild.  Although... I guess you can always hope for injuries to key players in the playoffs.

Yep.  Good enough to not be good enough.  No man's land, but this is a fun team and we'll all hope for the best.  Maybe they can begin a new playoff streak, even if it may not be the best play in the long-term.  The team's too good to be bottom 3-4 type team so even if things go south and we don't make the playoffs, maybe the ping pong balls will be good to us.  Right now, it looks like we're good enough to make the playoff though and a reasonable upside is 4/5 seed.  Don't like our chances as 6-8 seed to make any noise.  Probably 1 and done.

 

[dingleberryswitzer 2,724]

I should clarify, injuries to key players for the other contending teams.  (Not that I want dudes to get injured, but if they do... You got to be ready to take advantage.)

Unless that player is Kawhi Leonard.

[Mitch Cumsteen 18,523]

I still think this team ends up in the lottery. The rest of the conference is just too deep. Looks like Utah and both LA teams are playoff locks, but other than Minnesota (the only clearly tanking team in the west), the other 11 teams are within 4 games of each other. It's completely nuts. 

[ztejas 43,262]

You know... we have stretches where we play like an elite team. We just can't seem to string it together for 48 minutes. 

[ztejas 43,262]

What does Lonnie do at a plus level? Anything?

He just hit a 3 - heard me talking I guess.

Yeah, but then he singlehandedly gave up the lead. He’s been trash lately and it’s sad. Dude has all the tools, just can’t put it together. I know he’s been sick and has had some injuries, but he’s been relegated to a spot up shooter.

I'd just rather see Vassell get those minutes. I understand Pop has a method to his - and Lonnie was good earlier in the season - but we've been sitting right in the middle of the playoffs. Whoever is playing the best ball should be on the floor imo.

And Trae Young is already fucking us in the ass. Is it that hard to not foul that pube haired dick eater?
