Great meme template, tbh.

Come home, Tiago. Can get you an assistant gig if/when Sweeney gets a HC job.

 

[Area 51.247]

I mean, I don’t blame Deni at all for getting upset at that. I think the majority of players in the league wouldn’t just let a dude stick the ball right in their chest after an and-1

It was funny and I’m fine with Castle doing that since we had already started to pull away at that point, but I think people are being a little crazy for acting like Deni was in the wrong for giving him a pretty minor shove after that.

Steph was reacting to Deni deliberately yanking his arm down hard on the drive and still not stopping his shot. Maybe not dirty, but dangerous. He didn't slam the ball into Deni's chest, either, just put it there deliberately. Taunt, yes, as in you can't stop me and you can't score on me. Just run it back, now.

Loved seeing Corliss Williamson holding Steph back. Yet another great reason to have him on the coaching staff, looks like he could still outmuscle anyone on our team. Deni and Steph will have one more matchup. We need to finish our business and move on.

Will be really telling how POR comes out in game 5. To be one half away for 2-2 with a 17 point lead to getting absolutely sonned had to be demoralizing. The bad thing for us is guys like Jrue don’t have quit in them. Probably need to weather a really hard punch to start the game off. Super glad it’s home.

nah they're two halves away from 3-1 they gave up leads both of these games

“If I texted Timmy , I wonder if he’d text me back. I think he liked me”.

“Maybe I’ll just shoot him an email”

The first half was discouraging as all get out, but nice to know they can dig themselves out of some bad situations.

Can’t do that crap against better teams tho. 2 games in a row

 

[siraulo22]

He's been absent the entire series, which surprises me... he seems like he always puts up decent games against us. Wonder if he is still banged up or if this is a tactical error by Tiago

he cant stay in front of anybody

 

[Robz4000]

I wonder what will be Splitter's fate after their season end. He has done a very nice job with that team.

I hope he can be a head coach still, though I want him to move to the East.

Would be nice if the Spurs could bring him on this offseason as an assistant tbh. Doubt the Spurs are able to retain both Sweeney and Williamson unfortunately.

Damn, sorry I couldn't watch this one live. When I saw them in person in Austin, I had the sense that this team can put it together quickly and just blow another team away in 2-3 mins. That's a Jordan/Bulls Showtime/Lakers kind of level. Still so much growth to come, but, they are gifted and are turning defense into offense. I have no doubt that they will close it out Tuesday and the next round will be a very different type of challenge. It's also great to see what Fox can do when at his best. We need more of that from him.

What was going on when Portland had such a big lead? Were we not physical enough? Not making shots?

Spurs mostly settling not making shots

Portland hitting some threes including a couple of bs shots

As Fox said on the interview they didnt play the 'right' way in the 1st half

Where can you watch the full Jacob Tobey post game interviews? Didn't realize he was still working until I saw a clip/interview with him after the previous game.

The 2015 Warriors trailed 11 different games in the playoffs by double digits on their way to winning their first NBA Championship.

I'm just saying. It's how you finish.

Curious that we’ve seen the 3 guards out there together more.

Bro in the grey shirt has seen some shit

He must have been looking at Castle instagram page in real time after Deni Gate

Thousand yard stare like when I hear a loud ass bump in the house and one of my kids starts crying while I hear the rapid pattering of feet as the others run away to say they were in their rooms the whole time they don't know what happened

Apparently, he's been working his way back from two months out with a lower leg injury. He started to get hot in the second quarter, though.

I got to see all the first half and a little of the 3rd after they had come back daughter birthday dinner so missed most the 3rd and saw glimpses of the 4th game was on a TV across the restaurant . I got to watch the highlight recap of what I missed since I am back home. Wemby took over the 3rd qtr and set the tone I loved he did not settle for a lot of outside shots and fox took over in the 4th blowing it open. Man Harper just could not get the ball to fall today it happens still a bright future for the young man.

Nice not to have the team come out of half struggling like we seen way to many times no turd qtr like to see more of that in the future but without a big deficit. They came out with a mission and clamped down even harder on defense and started playing good offense we seen from them many times before.
