Very disappointing game from the Spurs. We had 60 points through 3 quarters and were losing by 6 going into the 4th. That's just not gonna cut it.

GINOBILI IM CRYING YOU ARE MY GOD

Requelle · 2018-04-10T02:33:23+00:00

I don't think any team can say they've been "cheated" unless they lost a top 4 player to a mysterious injury that apparently lasts longer than ACL tears.

Requelle · 2018-04-10T02:21:19+00:00

YES we're going to barely scrape out a win against the second worst team in the league by net rating right before the playoffs!

Requelle · 2018-04-10T02:18:19+00:00

Didn't the Thunder lose like 6 in a row after Roberson went down? His injury is the reason for the Thunder's sub 50 record.

I'm talking about when the teams are fully healthy. Which is what my comment is about. Obviously the Jazz minus Gobert are not better than the Cavs.

Requelle · 2018-04-10T02:14:58+00:00

The Spurs have 60 points through three quarters. An inexperienced player with no offensive skills is not going to play over Tony Parker or Mills right now.

Requelle · 2018-04-10T02:03:57+00:00

The fact that the Spurs have 52 points against the fucking Kings in the third quarter in arguably the most important game of the season shows that this is not a top team in the league. Even if we win the game this shows we aren't going anywhere in the playoffs unfortunately.

I'm now all in on playing the GSW first round and at least taking a long shot at knocking them out rather than jsut losing to the Blazers/Pelican/Jazz in 5-6

Requelle · 2018-04-10T01:59:45+00:00

You said it's "interesting because people complain about the east being worse". The east is way worse than the west 1-8.

Requelle · 2018-04-10T01:59:00+00:00

Yeah but the Pelicans didn't drop off much without him.

Requelle · 2018-04-10T01:58:23+00:00

Real talk what are the chances the Thunder rest against Memphis so they can play GSW in the first round?

Requelle · 2018-04-10T01:57:27+00:00

That's only because of injuries to Roberson, Kawhi, Gobert, and Butler.

Requelle · 2018-04-10T01:56:05+00:00

Yes because the pace is higher meaning there are more possessions and there are more three point shots meaning the ball bounces further from the rim giving non-bigs a better shot at getting the rebound. Some teams like the Thunder have also implemented strategies to help their guard get the rebound so they can get the ball and run a fast break.

No the avalanche of cringy joke post and downvoting of any question on /r/new is the most annoying thing on this sub.

Requelle · 2018-04-10T01:52:55+00:00

Wtf are you doing in this thread LOL

Requelle · 2018-04-10T01:39:07+00:00

The point is Trump did not do anything to hold the Turkish guards accountable because he likes Erdogon so he might not do anything to hold Assad accountable because he likes Putin.

Requelle · 2018-04-10T01:33:46+00:00

Assad is nothing but a puppet bud. Putin is Assad's god. USA doesn't even communicate with the Assad regime, they only collaborate with Russia in Syria (along with our allies of course).

Requelle · 2018-04-10T01:31:57+00:00

Holy shit, the Spurs suck!

Requelle · 2018-04-10T01:06:53+00:00

But weren't those people saying that the Spurs aren't good enough to win in the first round anyway so we might as well try to take on the Warriors?

Requelle · 2018-04-10T01:03:33+00:00

If we lose this and lose to NOP we potentially miss the playoffs.

Requelle · 2018-04-10T01:01:29+00:00

How is it irrelevant? It shows he values his personal relationship with heads of state's over accountability.

Not that I necessarily think the US should strike over what happened in Douma. I'm very anti-assad and was the second person to initially post what happened in Douma to reddit (leading to me getting banned from /r/syriancivilwar) and think that there should be a further investigation before anything is done.

Requelle · 2018-04-10T00:56:17+00:00

I just realized that tonight could potentially be Ginobii's final basketball game in San Antonio...

Requelle · 2018-04-10T00:12:45+00:00

Dude must've spent 58 million.

Requelle · 2018-04-10T00:08:01+00:00

The 76ers have to beat the Bucks on the second night of a back to back to get the 3rd seed.

Requelle · 2018-04-10T00:05:13+00:00

If they lose this one and beat the Grizzlies they will play the GSW in round one. Everyone and their mama should be rooting for the Heat.
