Oh, you want a win? Here, here's a win, hold this: Another L.

[Mikeanaro]

144 points because Luka left the game early, if not it would have been like 170 points.

This. That was a tough watch. Vassell disappearing again, so freaking frustrating.

[spurs1990]

Would’ve been loss 23 in a row if lakers didn’t lay down last week

[z0sa]

Vassell 3-13. This should be the game he steps up and wrecks house. "Time to prove I'm worth that contract!!"

Egg subsequently laid.

[spursparker9]

He convinced Tim to stay in San Antonio his entire career, so you have to give him credit for that.

We can only hope that is the case for Wemby in the coming years, but the product on the floor is getting really hard to watch.

I remember D-Rob also talked to Timmy to convince him. There was also help from Doc Rivers refusing Timmy's request to let family members on board team plane.

Hopefully Sochan would be able to talk to Wemby and convince him to stay too.

That's what I always heard as the deal breaker. Thanks Amy!

It's ing pathetic.

Tanking in a weak draft

To "get a pg" where literally every team they are "tanking" with has a poing guard so its not like anyone but the spurs would take one anyway

Heaven forbid portland have a worse record than us they might "take a pg" ahead of us like they didn't just draft Scoot.

[offset formation]

72 + 72 = 144. Equally atrocious halves of inep ude.

It will always be our defense until this roster has an overhaul.

[Tyronn Lue]

We seriously look like a GLeague team. And not just based on talent, but fundamentals.

Don't box out on rebounds, don't close out on shooters, don't stop the ball in transition....And the teams idea of offense is barrel into the lane and then hope for the best.

If you look at advanced stats for the entire league over the past 10 years, boxing out has all but vanished. A few years ago the average number of boxouts for a team would be about 26 per game, now it's like 7.

[CGD]

It’s pretty bad if Blake Wesley can’t get consistent playing time on this team. Dude is not getting his option picked up next year.

[BackHome]

Blake was terrible last year I am Ok giving him a few minutes but most of his time needs to be in G League woking on his handles, 3 ball, finishing at the rim.

Have you guys been seeing social media lately? Spurs are becoming the joke of the league

Detroit is taking mot of the heat thanks to them being even worse then us.

What an absolute amateur franchise. Jesus christ, this entire city and organization owes their entire existence to Timmy

Quite amazing how accurate this is. Now Manu and Tony were dogs and David was a franchise player and top 50 player of all time, but anyone with any sort of discernment knows Timmy was the magic piece. A franchise's once in a lifetime player. And in our case, it went far beyond his on court skills to his willingness to take less money, not to be the nightly top scorer that was concerned with stats, willing to be coached, unassuming, etc. We were so lucky.

Then Father Time and Uncle Dennis ed us all.

I was fine with this schtick when we were winning, but at 4-24 it's getting kinda old

ing inept head. Retire already. His schtick is beyond played out especially when your team and coaching is ing atrocious

[Tyronn Lue]

"show some class"

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

lmao stop being a please

[LeBowen]

He's so lucky Pistons are trash and Lakers threw that one game.
1-22 streak isn't much different than 25 game losing streak.
Detroit made way more roster changes and changed their entire coaching staff.

This is the same dude that wants fans to stop booing opposing players?

This is tired. Retire already.

[spurs10]

This game was unwatchable and a pathetic display of lameness. When you are outscored by 25 in the third quarter, routinely, it's time for a change. Devin was horrible and doesn't play defence. Not that they have much choice, but waiting another year in hopes that the lottery saves you is not going to get folks filling the seats. I keep watching, but not much after the first half because I know what's coming.
