2018-2019 San Antonio Spurs: Fuck Kawhi Leonard

[Lat22 4,051]

What the hell just happened there? Just let them dribble it out? Fucking idiots.  

[goatsaag 279]

They just gave up down 4 with like 28 seconds left? What?

[housious 468]

Hey guys, let’s run out the clock while we are down four in game 7 of a playoff series

[Blotto 23,693]

how the fuck do you not foul there???

[dingleberryswitzer 2,724]

Trade the whole damn team after that shit.

[hornfan785 565]

What the fuck was going on at the end of the game? No foul? No timeout? What the fuck?

[XYZ 2,154]

Fitting end

[Patrick Bateman 3,942]

Wow..... the ending of the game was possibly the dumbest thing I've seen a pro team do in quite awhile.  Why they didn't foul was beyond confounding.  Why wasn't Pop yelling his head off to foul?  There was 27 seconds left and it was two possession game.  What a fucking hilariously fitting end.

[LonghornJudas 1,113]

Never seen anything like that...

[Cosimo de' Medici 121]

Punked the announcer into thinking they were going into the 5th quarter 

[Gut Wagon 8,105]

I guess it was a good season. Didn’t really  feel like it, but we’re at a pretty serious talent deficit vs. the elites. Did about all we realistically could. Not sure how we can upgrade, but maybe getting Murray back will help. 

[miguelito 11,337]

That looked like a Charlie Strong coached team.

[Lat22 4,051]

I might be a little emotional right now but I don’t like a single guy on this team. 

[C-Man 27,348]

Just rolled it back. Pop was on the court yelling at his guys to press them. He obviously wasn’t screaming at his guys to foul for some reason.

[Kermit 3,160]

Well, that was interesting. Demar went Demar, Lamarcus went full regard, and Pop failed to play our best backcourt player in the fourth quarter. Idiots. Hope y’all enjoy dinner. 

[Radical Larry 28,673]

 

[XYZ 2,154]

Get Murray back and trade Patty

Shit, udoka, Messina and Forbes we're yelling to foul.  

[Chico_SA 521]

Even with a loss they didn't go out like some bitches. Proud of these guys.

Somebody went out like a bitches on that last Denver possession.

It’s LMA. He’s a team killer and we’ve sucked ass since he got here. Since LMA joined:

Duncan retired

Tony left

Manu retired

Kawhi left

Nobody wants to play with his bitch ass. 

[Longhorn Al 440]

Pop was yelling to foul or get up and pressure the ball.  Nobody did it.

If we got that to OT, Jokic was gassed.

Only ones to really show up tonight were Gay (Mr. Broken Body) and Forbes.

[C-Man 27,348]

That best backcourt player was 0-fer tonight

Sending a double to try to get a steal before immediately fouling is reasonable but you have to at least do something there.

Yeah. Sweet call playing Mills down the stretch

Nobody wants that shitty, non-shooting, horrid defending cancer.

Nobody moved.... Even the guys right near the bench.  So if they did, then it was wholly ineffective.  The players should have known what to do as well.  At least one of them!  Shit, isn't that what Patty is on the floor for?  Was he out there?

[Lat22 4,051]

They just didn’t want to fly to Portland tonight. 

[Hate 20,157]

I would love to hear some sort of reasonable explanation for why they weren’t fouling there, but the I’d have to listen to Pop do a post game interview. Think I’ll have a drink instead.

Yeah, and? Give him a chance.  

[Lat22 4,051]

As has been the case recently, I really don’t care what Pop has to say. 

[MrBig 5,507]

Isn’t this the final year of Pop’s contract? If so, he’s heading for the hills

[Longhorn Al 440]

[Machinator 32,099]

Pop seemed to heavily imply in the press conference that he told them to foul and nobody heard him.

[Lat22 4,051]

My last post on this this thread. It’s a team full of scrubs. How we ever got the 2 seed to game 7 I’ll never know. We need a superstar. Fuck Kawhi Leonard. 

[LonghornJudas 1,113]

If you're a professional basketball player, you don't need your coach to tell you to foul in that situation...

[MrBig 5,507]

This team has gone to shit since the LMA acquisition and Peter Holt divorce. Look at all the defections from a player standpoint, as well as who is left running the team. We’re doomed.

That's exactly what happened.

 

[Kermit 3,160]

Derrick White would’ve fouled.

[C-Man 27,348]

Fuck Kawhi Leonard. 

[miguelito 11,337]

Pop damn near ran out there and fouled someone himself, if no one else was going to bother to do it.

itd be worth the ejection, suspension of game 1 next series(had they won), and most importantly, time stoppage to remind the players to not be fucking idiots

He was a step or two on the floor but he didn’t appear to be screaming at them to foul.

[Assman 1,830]

I switched from beer to Tito's at halftime and thought I had done it, until Pop decided to retire with 30 seconds left.  Fuck this shit.

1)  I don’t think that’s “obvious”.

2)  Even if you’re right about what Pop was yelling, LaMarcus also didn’t apply any pressure. So he either didn’t hear him or chose to ignore him 

3)  An NBA player shouldn’t need to be told what to do in that situation.  Forbes was pretty clearly telling LA to foul.

[Horn of Gabriel 1,863]

DDR is a crazy talented scorer but tries too hard in crunch time and forces stuff, which works out badly.  LMA is great until he's not and he lives and dies by his turnaround J, which would be fine if were a threat to drive (he isn't) or an amazing passer (he's not).  So we got to watch 2.5 quarters of clanks.

The offense was terrible but the defense was worse.  I've never seen a Spurs team so disinterested in playing D.

[Napoleon 8,710]

Maybe several Spurs players had bet mad money on them to cover the spread. They didn't want to foul and possibly blow their huge payouts.

They almost lost their bets on that shot clock beating 3 point attempt, but it rolled out and they covered the spread.

[PilotsError 2,338]

What an up and down year.

[dingleberryswitzer 2,724]

After sleeping on it here my thoughts.

1: seriously wtf.  Spurs were playing like dog shit, somehow we're close, had a minute chance to win then have the biggest basketball brain fart since jr smith last season. 

2: for that reason every player not named Murray, white, or poetl are tradeable, and honestly I won't cry of either of them get traded.  We have a team full of guys that should be the 3rd or 4th option. But if these veterans would improve their game (lamarcus needs to pass better, derozen needs to learn to shoot threes and both of those guys need to work on running PNR together ) ? But assuming Murray is back to his old self and Lonnie develops, that's like 5 guards 6-4 and under, none who are true point guards, or great shooters. 

3: taking the 2seed down to the wire in game 7 is probably better than we should have expected.  Plenty of posters thought they'd get run off the court, (which they did at times)

4.  Denver is pretty well coached.  Their ball movement and active defense is something to behold. That 2round series should be fun, and if they get to golden State we might see a record for uncalled moving screens 😀

That ending wouldn’t make sense at the end of a meaningless game at the end of the regular season much less a game 7.  Either Aldridge thought the game was tied, had more time left, or pops has taught them to do nothing without his say so and Aldridge couldn’t hear.   Or maybe he doesn’t understand basic strategy.  Weird.

Thats worse than Chris Webber calling a time out when there weren’t any time outs. At least that was attempting the right action.
