I guess we’re at the point where Alex Abrines missing a game isn’t even worthy of a tweet. It’s just assumed. Thanks for just letting this fall through the cracks local media.

Spurs are shocking to me. I thought they won't be making the playoffs. But they might actually get the homecourt advantage for the 1st round...

It started with the loss to the Wizards but we're on our way to our version of "rock bottom" this season. It's ugly.

We were up 19-14 with a little less than 4 minutes to go in the 1st quarter. Spurs rattled off a 14-0 run and closed the final 4ish minutes on a 19-4 run in total. And now we're down 15 with 8 minutes to go in the 2nd.

In the span of 12 minutes game time, we've been outscored 36-16.

Spurs making silly shots, but it hasn’t helped that OKC has rotated poorly and allowed for several to be wide open

Come on man...really?

It’s not coincidence that the schedule is getting harder and we aren’t as good. There isn’t a big difference between the three seed and missing the playoffs. Both are a possibility.

Yes, really. We lost back-to-back home games to a really bad team and a below average, and now we're on our way to getting blown out on the road against a good team. A team you'd hope we could at least compete with.

Right now, it seems as if the bottom is falling out on this team.

Ok sure...but when a team starts 9-9 from 3 you can’t just chime in and say it’s over

I think the bigger question is if Ferg keeps hitting 3s, it makes Schroder minutes shrink...then what

Then Schroder makes the Reggie Jackson situation look like it was the good ol' days.

Dennis Schroder sucks.
To be honest though, SA really blew an opportunity to blow this team out in the first half. They should be up at least 20.
If Schroder plays less in the second half, this game is very winnable. They have to win the rebounding battle in the second half though. That’s partially how SA is generating their looks.

Low-key Demar derozen has been a traffic cone on defense. That’s a big reason why the game is within striking distance.

?s=21

This is an absolute joke.

Wiggins efficient 40 pts (hitting lots of tough shots).

Now Spurs 12-12 from three.

Sure some of it was self-inflicted, but they just can't miss even when well contested.

Ugh.

Since the schedule has started getting harder we beat Portland, were awful against Washington, had a game against Minnesota where PG wasn't shooting well and Wiggins couldn't miss, and now the Spurs are 12-12. I think we should see how it plays out.

13-13...

14-14. Wtf. Bertans catches a foot behind the line, turns well-contested and hits ANOTHER.

Finally a miss but still, it took 15 attempts and almost three quarters.

We're playing a team who is, no exaggeration, shooting above 90% from 3.

This has to be some record. Has an NBA team ever made their first 14 three-point attempts in a game?

Now LMA can't miss. He averages 20 and has 30 after 3, 16 in the quarter. What's happening? How much of this is bad defense?

Go at DeRozan every possession.
