We're better than you.

We're better than all of you.

 

[Paramore]

Kinikilig ako kay Dylan mga pare hahahahaha

I need a highlight clip of Scoot talking smack all night

Career loser right there. Thank you, Scoot!

 

[LeBowen]

I think this was the Blazers best shot, we have to break them on Sunday. Let's just hope Spurs medical staff won't pull any bs and sit him because we won this one.
(If he's actually not ready, fine. But no precaution bs.)

Shoulda drafted Kon my ass

I can't even defend my stance with how horrible Kon played down the stretch. Still a big fan of his tho.

 

[WembyFan]

This series is over, Portland gave us their best punch but they know now it's over.....on to Minny.

 

[SpursFan86]

CB's only shot made was that stepback that sparked the comeback, but his defense was DPOY level.

I still can’t believe that shit. CB had been passing up wide open 3s all game and running DHOs like he was Kornet…then he finds the nerve to hit a step back 3 at the end of the shot clock in a massive situation

 

[spursparker9]

Fox shitting on Baseline Bums

Hitting some midrange jumper with a 10 pts lead?

If Fraudster Fox hit some 3s that break the tie or take the lead then he is shitting on us

 

[CGD]

I didnt noticed castle had 33pts lmao. Great game by him and harper

Not just that, but on great shooting. TO continue to be his bugaboo, but other than that hell of a game.

 

[SpurPadre]

I have no respect for Deni. Dude clearly fishes for free throws.

 

[Robz4000]

Series far from over, but if Mitch leans more on Harper going forward and Wemby is back by game 5 I like their chances. That said, if Holiday/Scoot crash back down to Earth in game 4 the Spurs can win in 5.

This one is great, not just for the raw "W", but for the playoff intensity that our boys just experienced. They're inexperienced, yes -- but not completely lacking experience now.

This is the beginning of greatness, in my opinion, dynastic greatness - and we're witnessing it in real time.

Cheers!

CB's only shot made was that stepback that sparked the comeback, but his defense was DPOY level.

Still CB needs to shoot those open shots. He was testing my patience earlier

 

[Fabbs]

Rookies:

Dylan +25
CB +17

Could you go over this with Mitch? Slowly.

 

[rascal]

Not playing Barnes was a smart move.

 

[LeBowen]

That Scoot tech deserves an episode on one of those seconds before disaster shows, tbh.

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

Please Lord help this team finish this game off playing smart basketball and doing what got them the lead.

Lord heard your prayers, son.

 

[Uriel]

Objectively speaking, how would you rank these four players in terms of their long-term potential: Edgecombe, Flagg, Harper, Knueppel.

 

[SpursBrazil]

fantastic win!!! The rookies were great and Castle was big in the 4th

 

[Itzsoweezee]

Hollleee shit

 

[CGD]

Castle dropped 33 but that dub is all on Dylan and Kornet being a steady presence throughout.

Don’t forget Carter

 

[John B]

Just glad I never gave up on these guys like some other posters

Many bandwagon fans here

 

[spursparker9]

Is it too early to start worrying about Minny’s length?

Do not piss off the basketball gods....we haven't won the series yet tbh

 

[BacktoBasics]

Props to Mitch for reading the room and adjusting his rotation to give the rookies the PT they earned as the game progressed.

He stuck with the guys impacting the game and I think that’s hard to do with a coach who has shown a very consistent rotation throughout the season.

Good adjustments all the way around.

Couldn’t be more proud of this team.

 

[John B]

That Harper dunk was amazing
