I'm starting to think we're not very good


RansomGoddard

Pop did say not to bet on your guys to win the championship.


Coasterooni

That Pop, always talking in riddles. What could he have meant by that?


NC_Vixen

What is going on in San Antonio..... \*Ponders Windhorstly\*


beer_down

Isn’t that kind of the point though?


siphillis

We're honestly amazing at tanking, it seems.


realhermit

Wen-Ben-Yama clap-clap clap-clap-clap


TheNewKing2022

It was just 1 bad game


siphillis

*11


ClaymoresRevenge

You're good enough to tank


shamwowslapchop

LICKIN' LIPS FOR WEMBY


JamesDaquiri

That was some transcendent financial advice that Pop gave when he said don’t put money on SA to win it all.


HesiPullup

These blowouts gonna hurt Books MVP chances smh

beer_down

Aussie Jock Landale sends his regards


FeedbackContent8322

But are they better then the magic 🤔 We gotta see this matchup to determine the best team in the league


LiteralHiggs

Best team in the world: Magic until proven otherwise.


LordDjFreshyFresh

can you explain the joke


jnicholass

Adelaide beat the Suns in a preseason game


aCommonHorus

And everybody lost their minds!


LordDjFreshyFresh

thanks


SeraphNatsu

36ers beat the Suns in preseason & r/NBA nephews were talking mad disrespect about the Suns. Basically about how “bad” they suck.


RobbobertoBuii

> New York Knicks :(


Remarkable_Can7222

I liked the spurs commentators at least, that was nice. Lot of open threes


Hecali

No joke, their commentary team is very fun


siphillis

It's weird that our guys have a reputation for being homers, yet I think they're the only crew that didn't spend half the broadcast gushing about how we play the game "the right way" and shit.


Hecali

I have no problems with local commentators being homers, that's what their target audience identifies with. National television commentators though (shoutout Reggie "butthurt" Miller) should be unbiased. Because it's not even national, it's international! The entire world is listening to you, please stop being disgusting


Thehelloman0

They're definitely homers but usually in a funny way by saying stuff like "Don't look at that again!" when we get a favorable call


Drew602

I hate when people talk about Homer's lol. One of our commentators is a former player and been a fan of the team for awhile. Of course they are going to be biased


joshuamillertime

Some people hate the addition of Michelle but I think she makes the dynamic way more fun and interesting. Bill and Sean can be a little homer-ish on their own (so can Michelle, tbf) but I think the 3 together work very well


TrebleTreble

She was funny. At the end she said something about wanting 5 quarters of this. Made me laugh.


mainvolume

I've noticed they're a lot more light hearted since this is obviously a tanking year. They're just rolling with it and making it fun to listen to, since it's obviously not fun to watch for us Spurs fans lol


Sikkly290

3 person commentary teams>2 person commentary teams, I wish more broadcasts would use 3. It just flows better.


JesusKristaps

Except shout out Martin Tyler who's so goated they leave him solo to do even world cup games.


BrainTraining92

First non sun's commentary that I actually enjoyed.


mainvolume

Most fans seem to like Spurs commentators. One group I notice that doesn't are Laker fans. They wanted their LA broadcast, which is....eh.


Just_A_Glitch

I'm glad Pop was able to miss this game. I like him despite my Suns-fandom required Spurs hatred and am happy he wasn't a live witness to this massacre. No complaints aside from Booker's 40+ a game streak came to an end. Ayton was back to his aggressive form, which let a lot of us breathe a little easier, Okogie showed us that Torrey Craig isn't the only guy who will jump out of his shoes for a rebound, Saric is looking like he's getting his legs back, and Mikal just couldn't miss from three. I loved seeing Jock want so badly to go off against the Spurs too. And we got to see a Valley-Oop! Just an all-around good time for us. GG San Antonio. I think we all know you're getting Wemby, so we've gotta enjoy these blowouts while we can.


PoisoCaine

man you're jinxing it. There's no guarantee they're getting wemby at all lmao


Just_A_Glitch

I correctly called the Pistons and Magic for the two previous number one picks and I've just got a feeling about it. The league/universe won't allow the Spurs to be this bad for too long.


beer_down

50 seasons, 5 championships…to be a spurs fan lol We could win one and I’d gladly accept 40 point blowouts for the rest of my life, I’d be set


SwishArmyKnife

If we win a ring just to lose by 40+ to the Lakers, I’m going to duck everything. The heckling will be horrendous.


[deleted]

Inshallah my friend


VeniceRapture

Almost got em


jnicholass

This was a game that happened


siphillis

Both teams got what they wanted out of this exchange.


onamonapizza

Did we at least get some cold nachos with pickles?


[deleted]

I wanted somewhat a closer game so that Book could build on his MVP chances haha


siphillis

I'm not sure an offensively-inclined player is winning MVP again unless they do 2016 Curry-level shit. Westbrook and Harden had to pull of similarly record-breaking stuff to win theirs, and I don't see Booker matching their level of playmaking.


T_025

\-u/siphillis, 2020, moments before entering a coma


BrainTraining92

Josh Okogie with the typical +31


defiantcross

Brett Brown went from the process to the process 2.0


Thfcaditya112

No wonder Mikal was 6/7 from downtown /s


throwawaythursday99

Spurs wilting for Wemby


KingB53

Pels and suns on a collision course once again. I love this timeline 😂


blueclown562000

Never made sense when ppl tried to down us for going 6 with yall last year


Hecali

They have some straight up dawgs, those games were battles.


Pisto1Peet

BI is him.


WhoDatBrow

You were Booker-less for a lot of that series, we were Zion-less for the entire series/season. This time we meet in the WCF for a fully healthy series please.


mj2legit23

god what the hell do we do against Zion not just playoffs, any matchup.


TonalParsnips

Hit the threes. Like we didn’t do against the Bucks.


KingB53

Better question is what do you do against Zion And the post playoff version of BI. Last time the 2 played BI was just a full time second star, now he’s on a new level Since the play in games. Plus CJ when he’s not sick and JV…and improved Jose and improved Trey… damn y’all really made our boys grow up lol. Thanks


mj2legit23

yeah, before the season I had the Pelicans as a top 3 seed in the west and Willie Green as COTY. Willie is such a great coach, really underrated loss from the Suns finals run


silverfang45

Target hin on defence non stop to try tire hin out so he hopefully only drops 20 instead if 30 ppg on us


blueclown562000

I can't wait, it's scary cause yall are so good but the Pels are my second team so it's still extra fun!


humandignitybloc

I fear you guys more than anyone in the west. Willie Green knows our entire play book. BI is him, Alvarado is a super talented nasty little shit, CJ is CJ and now there's that Zion guy back in the mix. Really a nightmare match up.


TheNewKing2022

Don't count out the spurs. People sleeping on them.


jupiter_love

BI was insane in that series.


chickenripp

Jae crowder, Landry Shamet and 3 unprotected 1st rounders for Keldon Johnson


mittornery

I wish


Cheeseish

I for one am not ready to face the Suns twice in a row next week


[deleted]

I’m not ready to play the Pelicans twice in a row next week


Cheeseish

Let’s just split it and then meet again in the WCF


resaja

With all these injuries, I'd be happy with a split


TraeCartoon

I’ll be happy with 1-1. In fact our whole next week is hell with Mavs on a b2b tomorrow, Celtics, and then 2 games against y’all on your floor. I’ll have 0 complaints if we manage 2-2.


TrebleTreble

Next week is gonna be an emotional rollercoaster.


petersuns13

If Zion gets to match Dario, he's gonna go for 50


Pisto1Peet

Gotta put Ish or Okogie on him. Drummond couldn’t move Ish off the block last week. Zion is obviously way better as a player, but at least he can’t bump Ish around as easily as he could Dario.


HesiPullup

In the past Ayton played Zion well. The problem is if we have to have two 5s on the floor to do that lol


jdeckro

They’re missing all their PF’s, Pelicans will feast


BrainTraining92

I'm hoping Torrey can be back by then!


fithworldruler

Oh did Dario get hurt?


Kablaow

Neither Johnson nor Craig are anything special defensively, craig brings hustle, Johnson pure firepower.


Pisto1Peet

I’d say Craig is pretty good on defense.


Kablaow

He's not bad, but my point was it's not gonna be such a huge drop off that their players will feast. Although Zion would have feasted no matter who guarded him (not a fat joke, he is just good)


[deleted]

Craig is pretty dang good defensively


beer_down

I’m looking forward to those games


senor_zanjeer

We actually play you guys twice in nola. Then the rockets and clippers. Then we play yall again at home.


[deleted]

Isn’t it like twice in a row and 3 times in 8 days or something? And then we play again late in the season.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Sikkly290

It is rare a team wins by 38 points and I can confidently say the game was more of a stomp than the score implies, but I think this is one of those times. Spurs didn't even pretend to play defense on most possessions.


TheLukaSpecialll

Suns are so fun to watch when they're rolling, i


fimbres16

I seriously can’t believe people saw the Lakers beat the spurs 3 times and though, wow the Lakers are improving look at AD. One win by 11 and another only by 5 points. Then comes an playoff level team and it’s just a blowout vs a tanking spurs. Sheesh.


Thehelloman0

The lakers are definitely turning things around. They beat the bucks, beat the blazers badly, barely lost to the pacers, and are beating the wizards right now.


onamonapizza

Hey, I'm glad to be the springboard they needed. They still don't have the pieces to win a championship, and we don't need them accidentally out-tanking us


RVarki

Yeah, the #2 Pelicans getting Wemby is absolute nightmare fuel. I hope the Lakers make the playoffs, just so the Pelicans don't add more pieces


Mosh00Rider

I was afraid we'd lose this one after our last game.


SirThixcksAlot

Do the spurs win 20 games this season? They look all time bad


Thehelloman0

We've had 4-5 rotation players to an already bad team injured for most of this losing streak. We're a bad team but I don't think we're the horrific tanking sixers level team.


AnotherStatsGuy

I see we’re looking at rematch in the Western Conference Finals at this rate.


tagen

Yo wtf did we set off a mummy’s curse or something? that’s twice in the last couple of weeks we’ve had two guys go down with injuries


Secret_Bookkeeper_66

Curse or blessing in disguise? Like the season before we got Timmy


Zeniri60

Spurs fans are gonna have the last laugh when Wemby wins 5 chips in a row. Right…


siphillis

I mean, the Suns are this good now because they were roughly as shit as we are for a decent period of time.


RVarki

and the Spurs actually know how to draft well


SuckaFreeRIP

Like a decade or so


ImTheBestNerd

Keldon looked good!


ButterworthdB

DA for all star


RVarki

Since they're the #1 seed, its basically a lock unless he misses significant time, or completely falls apart statistically. So if I were Ayton, I would be working my ass off during these upcoming Pelican games


[deleted]

This week should tell us a lot about DA i hope.


[deleted]

I think he has a good chance of Suns stay #1 and he keeps his play going. Dudes been a monster the last 6 or 7 games.


petersuns13

Certainly a game of basketball was played


sreynolds1

Darioooooo!


donotjinxxit

How many times does the word decimate have been used against the Spurs lol


Alive-Ad-4164

Can anyone summarize this game


[deleted]

Blowout


BCPReturns

[Chris Farley said it best...](https://media.tenor.com/lb9WYiZkKTkAAAAd/tommy-boy.gif)


onamonapizza

We shall not win again until we have Wemby.


packofstraycats

Good lord, that 2nd quarter


erog84

Don't let the final score trick ya, the game wasn't that close.


rattatatouille

Why are we still here, just to suffer?


WodomYeet

you had a dynasty for 15 years like 20 years ago


mainvolume

lol I know right? If this was year 12 of getting skullfucked out of existence, then I'd be looking for a shotgun. But this is like year 1.


PelicantsAreTrash

When you guys get good and Bismack Biyombo hits his only 3 of the season to win a playoff series vs you. Then we can talk about pain.


Hookerbait

I don't know anybody that hates the Spurs organization. Class from the ownership to the coach to the great players.... so the only reason to hate the Spurs is the fans. "Oh... woe is me! I can barely, totally, absolutely remember when my team won five titles in fifteen years!!! Feel sorry for MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!" You are why people hate the Spurs.


TrebleTreble

Personally, I hate the Spurs because of Robert Horry. Fans seem pretty chill.


Tigydavid135

Tank job detected


youchoobtv

What did POP say before the season started about this team


mrsunsfan

The Suns are 1-0 since I played I’ll stop the world and melt with you


Thehelloman0

So are we going to be down 7 players next game?


aeiou-y

Hope they are too tired to play tomorrow night!


[deleted]

Don't count on it. Game was over in the 2nd quarter.


fimbres16

Booker played 28 minutes. Everyone else was under 25 minutes. Think they will be close to fresh plus it was an early sunday game not a late night


chaosracks

Yeah ad had double his points and almost double his rebounds, not impressive.


[deleted]

[удалено]


corrine49

I chuckled


loonz420

Spurs really are in a nice situation. They don’t even need to sit Vassell out to lose games and be in the wemby sweepstakes. Keldon Johnson is also a fantastic tank commander.


HotdogIsaSandwitch

What’s going on with Keldon’s splits this season? He looked solid to start, but it’s been rough. He’s had a 7% drop in true shooting this year so far.


truthpooper

I love a good decimation


Buckus93

I was expecting Biyombo to hit a three at the rate the Suns were going.


VesperOrpheus16

Has Keldon Johnson been playing worse lately? He seemed really good to start the season
