You really need to hear the coach’s instructions to foul at that point??

Are you stupid? Wanna get a stop and get the ball back down 4 with 3 seconds?

Low b-ball IQ

This. Pop's coaching works especially well with players with good awareness.

I think I might rock with Portland in that series. Another not so bad matchup for Kanter.

Denver is gonna pick & roll Kanter to death

That was such an odd ending with the spurs not fouling, doesnt make sense at all. So one thing only comes in mind is that the FIX was in. Sports gambling....Spurs cover by not doing so and letting the clock run. Had they fouled and put Denver on the line, chances are they may not over the +6 spread. Only thing I could think of because there is no way in hell they could of messed up like that and not foul.

You can't tell me the league didn't schedule Sunday around GOT.

1PM East Coast and 12:30PM West Coast games on a Sunday?

Sure. A lot of pressure on Murray though to be big time.

Portland is going to be doing the same to Jokic.

Always felt like Sunday nights were meant for premiere TV anyways and NBA weren't really trying to mess with it if they didn't have to.

I'm going Denver in 7.

Let's be real, they would've lost regardless. Teams never win when they're down two possessions with less than 30 seconds left and they have to resort to sending guys to the line. The game was over

I think you missed my whole point. It's not about the W or L. It's the points (spread) in sports gambling. Spurs could lose regardless, but by how many points results in $$$$ its a really big industry man.

I think you missed my point . Jokic had the ball, he shoots 82% from the line. At best you're down 5 with 20 seconds left. It's not a winning strategy. Spurs had plenty opportunities to win before that point. Game was over. You said it didn't make sense for them not to foul but there's a .002 chance of them winning at that point by playing the foul game so it kinda did make sense. You said yourself they probably would've lost by 6 so what's the point in fouling

Lol because anything can happen and it's a game 7. Regular season sure who cares

 

[Maximus Meridius]

I see Derozan was in rare form

Denver probably should've swept the regular season series and that was with Nurk. Last game I don't care about since Nuggets pretty much tanked it (Blazers still struggled to win). Not putting a ton of weight into that but yeah this series is not a runaway for Denver. I see a lot of matchups both teams can exploit. Dame really struggled against them though.

Sticking with my pick tho. Nuggets in 6

 

[BIG LEEMELONE]

Nah man. Spurs gave up like 3 offensive rebounds in a crucial moment down the stretch. At that point it's like..welp. They weren't about to win playing the foul game when you're down more possessions than there is time left in the game. It never happens like that. My guy said if they fouled they wouldn't have covered the 6 point spread, meaning they damn sure weren't gonna win..so why even foul? Pointless

Dont think DEN has it in them to win back to back game 7s
