[ElNono]

Must have paid one too many visit to Porker's food truck.:wakeup

:lol...

[NASpurs]

He's making his case. But then Butler and Bonner haven't even seen the court.

Pop knows what to expect out of those two though, this mini road trip has seemed like tryouts for Simmons to me.

[SpurPadre]

Must have paid one too many visit to Porker's food truck.:wakeup

Because he can't afford a Tissot, tbh.

[Silver&Black]

Stop the dumbass Ginobili passes...

Run the offense.

[BatManu20]

Alright enough with the stupid passes tbh

[Mugen]

:lol Is SloMo retarded tbh

[Mnky]

Simmons isn't that good.

He's an undrafted rookie third stringer. What's your expect..

[TheGreatYacht]

Stop the dumbass Ginobili passes...
:lol...

[sasaint]

:toast Agreed.

I will be shocked and very disappointed if DWest doesn't return next season.

[ElNono]

Stop the dumbass Ginobili passes...

:lol

Mon negre

[spursistan]

He's going to be a practice player along w/ Boban come postseason time so really don't care what they do with him at this point.
Honestly i don't like his prospects, that is if consider him one at his age..I think he has questionable IQ and is not a good of a shooter/ball handler to milk a la Gary Neal..

[ElNono]

:lol Is SloMo retarded tbh

[EVAY]

He's making his case. But then Butler and Bonner haven't even seen the court.

Do you think that is because one or the other is gonna be gone soon and they don't want to tip their hand which way?


LOL. Never mind - there is Bonner

[BillMc]

Pop knows what to expect out of those two though, this mini road trip has seemed like tryouts for Simmons to me.

Good point.


I will be shocked and very disappointed if DWest doesn't return next season.

Yeah, he really needs to come back. He's not that old (not by Spurs standards!:lol)

[Silver&Black]

Bonner in...smh.

[Silver&Black]

Simm:wowns

:wow :wow :wow :wow :wow

[Mugen]

Matty Franchise in.....

[TheGreatYacht]

[loveforthegame]

There's Simmons!

[BillMc]

LOL. Never mind - there is Bonner

Yeah. I do think one will be gone. Not sure who though.

[BatManu20]

SIMMONS :wow

[steeledl]

...... Hops came back

[NASpurs]

Simmons dunked after five failed attempts :lol

[ElNono]

:lmao Danny passes

[resistanze]

Simmons gets his manhood back tbh

[TheGreatYacht]

RIP Bonner!!

[pgardn]

Hello hi lite

[loveforthegame]

That Green defense on Wiggins.

[baseline bum]

God damnit, so Butler's getting cut :pctoss

[SAGirl]

Miller's passing is special <3

[sasaint]

Do you think that is because one or the other is gonna be gone soon and they don't want to tip their hand which way?


LOL. Never mind - there is Bonner

Tip their hand? To whom? Who cares which player the Spurs waive - their families?

[Kawhitstorm]

...... Hops came back

Professor making bums look good w/ 8500 assists.:toast

[Mnky]

This is getting interesting..

[BatManu20]

Matty!

[SpurPadre]

It was nice knowing you, Butler. Fucking Ginger...

[FaM0us Skins]

Simmons!

[NASpurs]

Bonner automatic in blowouts per par

[Mugen]

:lol Red Rocket baby

[steeledl]

Season high 13 for Miller

[DMC]

Matty "pressure cooker" Bonner coming through in the clutch.

[loveforthegame]

Simmons. :tu

[baseline bum]

Bonner automatic in blowouts per par

:lol

[timtonymanu]

LOL Butler is not getting cut, guys.

[BatManu20]

There you go Simmons

[SAGirl]

God damnit, so Butler's getting cut :pctoss
I thought so but I really really had my doubts bc he had been a,Pop favorite lately in small ball. I hope Kmartin comes through for us though. Butler helped us won some games.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Still perfect on B2Bs I see :tu

[EVAY]

Tip their hand? To whom? Who cares which player the Spurs waive - their families?

Well, you're right - I thought maybe just to the players themselves. I doubt they have told them yet, do you?

[SpurPadre]

LOL Butler is not getting cut, guys.

Who then? Simmons?

[steeledl]

This is either a Bonner farewell or butler is getting cut.... Who fucking knows

[TheGreatYacht]

Get KG out there and solve us this Bonner dilemma for us...

[AZK619]

Andre with the goods. Still got some game left. :flag:

[timtonymanu]

Who then? Simmons?

Bonner. Not sure why people automatically assume DNP = getting cut. Wouldn't it make more sense to showcase Butler if the team was gonna waive him?

[Kawhitstorm]

God damnit, so Butler's getting cut :pctoss

CIA Pop has been waiting on the cut to see if Bonner can still make 3s.:bang

[Mnky]

I thought so but I really really had my doubts bc he had been a,Pop favorite lately in small ball. I hope Kmartin comes through for us though. Butler helped us won some games.

I still think Bonner is more expendable. Butler is a presence pop likes. Professional and hard worker. His instagram was filled win all his workout techniques over the summer. Has a good work ethic. I'm sure it shows in practice..

I got to believe it's Bonner.

[sasaint]

Well, you're right - I thought maybe just to the players themselves. I doubt they have told them yet, do you?

At this point I'm not sure KMart is coming!

[Silver&Black]

Who then? Simmons?

Bonner, IMO

[Mugen]

Bonner. Not sure why people automatically assume DNP = getting cut. Wouldn't it make more sense to showcase Butler if the team was gonna waive him?

No sense in showcasing Rasual when we can't trade him at this point tbh. Sadly Butler will be cut by tomorrow IMO....

[tholdren]

bonner is gone.

miller is better than kyle anderson and green combined

[spursistan]

Loving Andre Miller, PHD.

Then it'd definitely Butler. Diaw and Porker were likely offended and went to HR.

[sasaint]

Bonner. Not sure why people automatically assume DNP = getting cut. Wouldn't it make more sense to showcase Butler if the team was gonna waive him?

Showcase Butler for next season? He wouldn't be playoff eligible this season.

[NASpurs]

At this point I'm not sure KMart is coming!

People were saying he was already in San Antonio

[Silver&Black]

[ElNono]

Wonder if the Spurs can trade Rasual for a heavily protected 2nd round pick, just so he's playoff eligible for another team...

[Spurs9]

Maybe letting Bonner play so other teams notice he can still be a piece and sign him when hes eligible.

[EVAY]

At this point I'm not sure KMart is coming!

me neither. I've begun to wonder if he failed his physical.

[Maddog]

Matty with the drive and dish

Guess he's staying...

[AZK619]

Danny needs to get his head out of his ass, tbh

[Kawhitstorm]

The trade deadline passed which is why players are getting bought out.:lmao

[loveforthegame]

Bonnets not getting cut.

[Silver&Black]

:lol Bonner on fire

[$pursDynasty]

If Ime is considered the next Spur assistant to get a head coaching gig, then why is Messina always the top dog when Pop isn't?

[steeledl]

Bonner don't wanna get cut.......

[BatManu20]

MVBonner

[NASpurs]

Miller is so fucking good and doesn't play with blinders on, exceptional court vision

[TheGreatYacht]

Bonner can fuck off

[Kawhitstorm]

Danny needs to get his head out of his ass, tbh

K-Mart is rubbing his hands watching Danny

[SAGirl]

Bonner is staying baby!!! The red rocket hits!

[ElNono]

The trade deadline passed which is why players are getting bought out.:lmao

oh thats right... was thinking something classy from the Spurs

[SAGirl]

Well I stake my reputation as nostradamus. Bonner is not the one getting cut.

[Kawhitstorm]

If Ime is considered the next Spur assistant to get a head coaching gig, then why is Messina always the top dog when Pop isn't?

B/c he's the actual lead assistant but is too old for the waiting game until Pop retires.

[SpurPadre]

Tip their hand? To whom? Who cares which player the Spurs waive - their families?

I know, right? Unless Pop doesn't want Subway to hire Ginger as their new spokesman, who gives a fuck?

[NASpurs]

Boban :lol

[timtonymanu]

No sense in showcasing Rasual when we can't trade him at this point tbh. Sadly Butler will be cut by tomorrow IMO....

True and it's not like he has a lot of value around the league. :lol But still, I would have played the guy if I knew I was gonna cut him tomorrow. But that's just me.

[Silver&Black]

:lol Boban got pinned

[Maddog]

Oh oh
They've cut it to 22

[Darius Bieber]

Might be the last time we see one of these guys play in a Spurs jersey

[BatManu20]

Smh go home Boban... :lol

[spursistan]

why is Towns still on court..

[tholdren]

Well I stake my reputation as nostradamus. Bonner is not the one getting cut.
bonner is terrible

[Spurs9]

Miller is so fucking good and doesn't play with blinders on, exceptional court vision

Hes alwayshad exceptional court vision. Despite being the oldest player in the league he can still be better than alot of current point guards.

[sasaint]

Miller is so fucking good and doesn't play with blinders on, exceptional court vision

A PG with court vision is... :wow

[Kawhitstorm]

oh thats right... was thinking something classy from the Spurs

Nobody wanted to sign Rasual which was why he ended up being a camp invite on an unguaranteed contract.

[loveforthegame]

RIP Anderson. Wiggins schooled you multiple times.

[Mnky]

Then it'd definitely Butler. Diaw and Porker were likely offended and went to HR.

This cracked me up bruh. :lol

[AZK619]

K-Mart is rubbing his hands watching Danny
Thank goodness he will be on the roster soon. He can take some of Danny's minutes

[Silver&Black]

At this rate My nigga Diaw will be the one cut....

[loveforthegame]

Is Anderson even trying?

[BatManu20]

Why are Wiggins and Towns still in the game..? :lol

[spursistan]

missing those 3s won't do you a favor Rasual...

[steeledl]

Thank goodness he will be on the roster soon. He can take some of Danny's minutes


Im ready for this ... Hope this nigga learns quick cause time is not on his side

[CGD]

Haven't seen much of Minni, but Wiggins doesn't seem that impressive to me. Towns is going to be special.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

The bug commercial makes me never want to use the Windows Store damn I hate bugs

[Kawhitstorm]

RIP Anderson. Wiggins schooled you multiple times.

Wiggins has school LeBron on multiple occasions. He's too quick/athletic for Fat Head.

[SpurPadre]

Bonner. Not sure why people automatically assume DNP = getting cut. Wouldn't it make more sense to showcase Butler if the team was gonna waive him?

Why would they want to showcase a player at this point? They don't get anything out of doing that and neither does Butler, really.

[Kawhitstorm]

Why are Wiggins and Towns still in the game..? :lol

To work on their game.

[sasaint]

Haven't seen much of Minni, but Wiggins doesn't seem that impressive to me. Towns is going to be special.

11 of his 21 points in the 4th against our scrubs when the game was over.

[steeledl]

It's too late for butler to be on anyone else's playoff roster if we cut him right ? Would hate for him to go to okc

[SpurPadre]

Bonner, IMO

That's just too good to be true, tbh.

[tholdren]

Why would they want to showcase a player at this point? They don't get anything out of doing that and neither does Butler, really.
because this generation feels like you need a showcase for everything.

cue the price is right gif

[Mnky]

Miller is so fucking good and doesn't play with blinders on, exceptional court vision

He gets so much hate. It's crazy how many of these couch experts think they know the game because they read an article here or there. Too bad he was never on a legitimate team. Always been an exceptional player and competitor.

[BatManu20]

Still need a Boban jam to feel good about this W tbh.

[Kawhitstorm]

It's too late for butler to be on anyone else's playoff roster if we cut him right ? Would hate for him to go to okc

He missed the March 1st deadline.

[ElNono]

lol Zach Lavine still out there trying to pad stats

[steeledl]

Boban has lost his luster as well

[spursistan]

Boban has been trash..

[SAGirl]

I still think Bonner is more expendable. Butler is a presence pop likes. Professional and hard worker. His instagram was filled win all his workout techniques over the summer. Has a good work ethic. I'm sure it shows in practice..

I got to believe it's Bonner.
Tbh Originally I though it was Simmons, but he should be kept for next season. Bonner can still shoot, Butler is streaky. But really it's anybody's guess
I remember Austin Daye having,a super highlight high rebound,and,shooting game in a,win against Minny last season and getting waived after. So ... I really don't know, but I really doubt it's Bonner

[HarlemHeat37]

Haven't seen much of Minni, but Wiggins doesn't seem that impressive to me. Towns is going to be special.

He's not very impressive, yet, tbh..very one-dimensional and inefficient..

[BatManu20]

That Boban pass :lol Magic Marjanovic

[EVAY]

It really is a good thing that Simmons is so athletic because he is really really not a high bball iq kind of guy.

[timtonymanu]

Why would they want to showcase a player at this point? They don't get anything out of doing that and neither does Butler, really.

One of these vets will lose out a chance on ringing this year. Pretty dickish move by Pop to keep Butler inactive if he's going to be off the team soon. IMO, I still feel Bonner is getting the boot, but we'll see.

[Kawhitstorm]

Haven't seen much of Minni, but Wiggins doesn't seem that impressive to me. Towns is going to be special.

Wiggins is like a young version DeRozan except he coasts like Rudy Gay.

[BatManu20]

Good bounce-back win. Got to rest Kawhi and LMA the entire 4th. Good stuff :tu

[Spurs9]

We keep boban on the roster to keep the crowd in the games :lol

[Kawhitstorm]

Believe me, no one will be happier than me if Ginger gets the boot but I'm not believing it will happen.

[SpurPadre]

Eh...do this to a REAL team, starting Saturday, tbh.

[BillMc]

Was that the end of the Bonner era? Time will tell.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Still perfect on back-to-backs. :toast

Yes, their retooled style of play looks great when they're playing the bottom feeders in the NBA. How that all of a sudden translates to being competitive with the Warriers I have no idea. Their offense is the polar opposite of Golden State's.

What sticks out to me from that play is not the dunk but the perfect Miller pass delivered right on point as the guy is simply cutting. With some other PG we have that play isn't there.

[KenziE]

707376879263547392

see how miller cut to basket right at the perfect timing if La didnt slam Dre was open under the basket pretty solid player

[Mugen]

:lol Yeah, Andre Miller is a solid player. It's why he's older than Timmy and still in the league tbh.

[KenziE]

:lol Yeah, Andre Miller is a solid player. It's why he's older than Timmy and still in the league tbh.

Hoping Pop see the light and use him when tp starts hero balling

[NASpurs]

The great thing about Miller and Martin barely getting any playing time this year due to Minny's youth movement is that they're still fresh this late in the season. Those two aren't horrible players or anything, they just didn't fit with Minnesota's plans. They're going to be solid players for the Spurs.

If only he was 10 years younger. He seems to fit perfect.

His passing is really good! I guess that's why Spurs gambled on a 39 year old.
