Gutless Worms

[TimDunkem]

No Kawhi, brah.

Also, we are rediscovering that no one on this team besides Kiwi can dribble a basketball.

We might need to turn to Derrick White.That makes the Kawhi-less thing even less of an excuse. With Kawhi, we're pretty good, but the team is no longer deep and has many issues.

[raybies]

bump.

here you go guys.
I'll make it easy for y'all.
The cliff jumpers are out tonight.
Hot takes are flying left and right.

[SAGirl]

I can't believe Spurs dropped this game against the Mavs. The guards defense was horrendous.

I imagine Pop didn't want to play Danny more than the 24 minutes he did on account of him coming back from a groin injury.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

We just aren’t that good, simple as that. Spurs need a number one seed or else they play both GS and Houston in which case that is 100% chance they don’t even sniff the finals.

Hey also need to tweak the roster, even with Kawhi this team sucks from downtown and needs a rim protector badly.

[NameLess Scrub]

If Kawhi doesn't injure again and LaMarcus stays away from ice cream, that should be a good start.

They suck from downtown because there is a lot of wasted time dribbling and standing.

A 2-3 GS/SAS match-up looking very possible. Happy with the chance to knock those bitches out, tbh.

You think we can do it 4 times out of 7? I would love to see a healthy Kawhi and if we can push GS to 6 that would be great.

Six is garbage. Just about anyone can take GS to six. Knocking them out is what matters. And I think we looked better than them before Pachulia was allowed to butcher our star player. The NBA should've levied a hundred million dollar fine for that.

Might as well play them earlier. To get out of the west you have to go through the Warriors. Higher chance the Spurs will be fresh to play them coming out of the first round. Gotta hope the Spurs get easy first round match up like the Nuggets.

I definitely agree I felt the Spurs would have won that series had the Pachullia cheap shot had not happened. The Warriors body language looked terrible when they were down in that game. They looked defeated and had no answer for Kawhi and LMA's post up game.

Can’t really call the team gutless when their coach doesn’t care anymore.

This is reaching ´10 proportions.

[Darius Bieber]

Yeah this team is complete trash. Anyone who thinks we are contenders are idiots. And it's not because we don't have Kawhi. We were 14-4 the last two years without Kawhi. We beat the Rockets without Kawhi in the playoffs.

This team composition is just G-League level or worse.

Yep. That excuse is played out.

The Spurs were just a better team last season.

[Ice009]

Guys that I thought were pretty good last year in Dedmon, Simmons, Lee, the Spurs just let go and kept the guys I thought were fucking trash Mills, Gasol. Gasol, I didn't have a problem bringing back for one more year, as he was still under contract, but apart from that, Spurs let all of their talent go to re-sign a culture scrub.

Patty Mills = culture scrub. RC Buford should be shit canned for his work in the off-season. Kawhi, if he can get healthy again should either bolt or ask for a trade. The Spurs can keep all their culture scrubs.

Talent wins. Culture by itself gets you nowhere - you can still finish last without talent if culture is the only thing you've got. TD carried this front office in his prime, and I feel he should have had more Championships. He was an unbelievable player. The Spurs got lucky with Manu and Tony. If not for that luck, they would have egregiously failed TD.

You can see it now with Manu, even though he's old, that talent still shines through even though his body is older and he's not as athletic as he once was, but when his body cooperates, he still shits on most of the garbage the FO has signed over the off-season. It's not because he's old and wise, it's because he had great talent and still has a little bit left.

Spurs need to stop with these culture scrubs they keep signing. Get some real fucking players. GET OVER YOURSELF SPURS FRONT OFFICE.

[SAGirl]

Can't say gutless worms. They don't have enough talent right now. Very different situation.

we're just like every other team. TBH I can't wait for the rebuild and to come to ATT to watch Manu and Tony's jerseys go up. Time to celebrate the end of the Big 3 era and time for some new blood.

[$pursDynasty]

I wasn't enjoying losing to the Lakers but then I remember my first thought when I saw the starting lineup...Yikes. Dijon, Patty, Kyle, Davis and Pau. The Suns could put together a better starting five than that. If those are the cards you are dealt then best to fold, because 9 times out of 10 bad things are coming.

Dude, the Suns bench is better than our starters. Last game they had coming off the bench Marquise Chriss, Josh Jackson, Troy Daniels, Jared Dudley and Tyler Ulis.

http://www.nba.com/games/20180302/OKCPHX#/boxscore

Chriss > Pau
Jackson > Bert
Daniels = Anderson
Dudley = Mills
Ulis = Murray (on running offense. On defense Murray > Ulis).

I wouldn’t say gutless. More a tale of horrible front office moves and Dejounte being injured. Lamar going to have to combine for 45 points per game for the team to have a chance.

45 combined might have been good last season, but that won’t cut it in this newest NBA incarnation where teams are averaging +/-115 per game. Gonna need 69 combined like we got the other night against the Lakers.

[Texas_Ranger]

time to bump this again...

[Hoops Czar]

Don't you need talent to be gutless? More like Gutless FO.

[K...]

This thread should be retired. The old team could be coaxed out of listless periods with defense or throwback efforts. This team doesn't have it. The are gutless by default. It's a shit team, thats the whole story effort or not.

I’m kinda hoping they lose as much as they can tbh. Disappointed they pulled it out tonight. I’m a spurs fan but I’m a fan of their future too and I’m pulling for a lottery pick. What good will it do if they barely make the 8th seed and get bashed by the warriors for a third year in a row?

Right but 7 or higher looks like it could land us a winnable series.

:lol How did the Spurs let Avery Bradley drop 33? He's one of the most trash players in the league at this point.

[r0drig0lac]

there is no chance in hell that the spurs can beat nuggets, rockets, okc or even the blazers in a playoff series, if people are not realizing it, we probably have the worst perimeter defense in the game's history in an era where the game is completely realized in the perimeter, we do not have defensive consistency now, there's nothing that changes this, playoffs or not, teams have already adjusted to the hybrid zone defense that Spurs performed with some consistency last month, and now we're back in December, when we could not defend nobody

Spurs defense ranks right under league average. Lower on the road, but towards the top of the league at home. We definitely don't have the personnel on defense to be better than league average, but with a healthy roster and when the team is playing well we can compete with anybody in the west besides GSW. Houston has looked pretty tough lately I think they'd beat us and I think OKC would too, but we'd have a chance. Denver and Portland could beat us but I don't think it's a given. I'd give us a 50/50 chance against anybody in the west OTHER than Golden State. If I had to bet money it doesn't mean I'd pick the Spurs (I would against Portland,) but I'd still feel like we have a valid shot.

Right now we're playing pretty bad. There's a big correlation with that and Derrick White missing time. I think we can figure out how to be marginally better than we are now by the time the season's over. Obviously if we don't play to our potential we won't beat anybody, but we're capable of being formidable.

[BatManu20]

Truly the low-point of the season tbh. And now 1-6 on the RRT. This does not look like a playoff team.

[BatManu20]

Only thing worse than being a non-playoff team is being a non-playoff team that finishes 9th or 10th in the conference. It’s NBA purgatory.

[kaji157]

We are a disappointing team to watch.
White cannot be back soon enough.
Mills cannot go away soon enough.

[Millennial_Messiah]

Honestly need to relocate sooner than later, but keep the history from Gervin up to May 2017 and Zaza's cheating in San Antonio.

Saves Gervin, Robinson, and Duncan's legacy from being watered down by generations of decades of being the Cleveland Browns of the NBA.

I don't really think this should be bumped every time they lose. But the last two games make it very fitting.

[Dverde]

Bump! Show some backbone and push back.

[Hoops Czar]

This thread was cute when they had three future hall of famers and Kawhi and the team was underperforming But now this thread needs to retire.

The players are just an extension of the head coach. Don't blame the players because they suck. Blame the PATFO who assembled the team. The Spurs have one, if not the softest FO in the league which is why the Spurs are considered one of the softest teams in the league. They don't want players that sound off, pound their chests, grunt, shrug their shoulders or show off. Well, this is the end result of that. A bunch of blue collar dead heads that only know one speed.

I felt that the Spurs' would take it personal that this team went looking for them, but so far, it looks like I'm wrong. Popovich also deserves a big part of the blame too. I think he may be the only coach in the league that doesn't use his best personnel. They are now going to win in spite of him, not because of him.


yup the team reflects the coach, and it looks like the coach has to go. were tired of his shit!!! his stupid ass "im a genius, so dont ask me questions" attitude is really lame and has no where near an AVERAGE mind much less a GENIUS! . that man is dumber than dirt

what ? hahaha now i just heard him say on his interview, that we didnt do anything different from last game to this game, so im guessing hes thinking were due for another W soon (b/c we lost this one lol ....this coach has Lost it...
