If we manage to lose to the Grizlies, do we blow it all up?? What about Pop?

[hater]

Sure we blow it all up. Only keep Kawhi, Dejunte and Bertans.

Everyone else get the fuck out

But I would also fire Pop. Old fuck is senile at this point. Fire Udoka with his stupid face and of course fire that chick that takes up that chair behind Pop. Shes useless

[TheGreatYacht]

Poop and Buford are untouchable. They will never get any blame for underperforming with the teams they've had. 1 ring in a decade. Pathetic.

Poop will blame the players, as per par. Buford won't do shit to the roster this offseason other than drafting some 25yr old euro fag that will be stashed until he's 34.

Lmfao!!! Tbh...

[hater]

I predicted this series was going to be tough and if Spurs lose one of the first 2 games we would lose.

We barely avoided a 26 point meltdown thanks to the refs in game 2.

But the way we are losing is just laughable. Pop with his shit loneups and most our players getting exposed for the league scrubs they are.

I called this team was going to be a 2nd round exit team but was in the process of upgrading my prediction given our playoff bracket.

Looks like I might not upgrade my prediction after all :lol if we manage to squeak past the Grizz I can see Houston going 2009 Suns on us

[cd021]

Would certainly increase the chances that the Spurs move LMA and maybe even shop Green.

[Chinook]

Blow it up. Build around Kawhi, DeJounte and Kyle.

[RD2191]

TBH if we lose to the grizzlies then Kawhi should be traded too. No way in hell he should lose to the grizzlies in the 1st round. I have faith that he'll come through though.

[TheGreatYacht]

and Kyle.

I know, I know, we've had some great teams, but there are like 26 NBA teams that would take that one championship in a decade and would be proud of it.

Murray, Anderson, Jean-Charles, Bertans, Lessort

Who was that guy who was always talking about getting a bunch of 6-5 to 6-10 players on the court at once? He'd have an orgasm if the Spurs ran that.

[SAGirl]

Outside the trolling... I doubt they consider a real "blow it up"...
The reality is they needed to upgrade at the guard spots and didn't. we knew tony and Manu weren't going to cut it.

Pop does need to push Kyle more, and Dijon, Bertans and if they reup Simmons, him too. They just need to move on from Tony and Manu at this point.

If they can't acquire the help they need externally, then it means internal growth is the way to go, which means Pop needs to play his young players and not leave them in the doghouse behind Tony and Manu all season.

One road loss in the playoffs, and people are already set to blow it up and rebuild.

Still up 2-1, and no one has lost on home court yet. :lol That's how the playoffs go.

And don't give me nonsense about the refs. Fizdale bought the easiest fucking calls I've ever seen from the refs last night for only 30k (which his players are covering for him).

Series will be over on Tuesday.

:lmao Cliché, vanilla take, pretending this was isolated and not symptomatic of the same issues they've had for 3 years, that have rendered them pretenders.

This series might be more difficult than it should be, simply because you never know whether Parker or Ginobili will "have it" that night and if at least one doesn't, they're vulnerable no matter the opponent. Ultimately though, the Grizzlies just don't have the goods to win it.

They'll probably lose to the Rockets, it'll probably be in typical pseudo close fashion and then they'll probably mostly run it back for another year and pretend publicly that they believe they're still contenders, when in reality they just lack the flexibility and assets to improve the team and want to remain as competitive as possible.

[Capt Bringdown]

I don't think LMA has performed up to expectations. We need someone with grit at that position.

"Pretenders".

Give me a break. Spurs have a decent shot at a title, and one bad performance against a 7-seed isn't enough to make me want to jump ship. What happened against the Clippers and the Thunder is about as relevant as what happened against the Rockets in '95 as far as I'm concerned.

Are they front-runners? No...and that has been the case since Timmy started declining in '06.

Nobody said that we'd be guaranteed to win a championship this year. The same thing can be said for 29 other teams in the league, even the ridiculously-stacked Warriors. Curry and crew won 73 games last year and fell on their sword when it mattered most.

You want to bitch that we won a title three whole years ago? Tell that to the 21 other teams who haven't won a title in over two decades.

I want the Spurs to win as much as anybody, but our fans are seriously spoiled as gold-glittered shit.

[UZER]

Exactly. He plays with no heart.

[skulls138]

He better start. Last night was a wakeup call. He looked tentative up until it was too late, then started getting aggressive. Hope that carries over.

Parker needs to be more aggressive too.

[Russ]

But I would also fire Pop.

I'm pretty sure no one can fire Pop.

[barbacoataco]

I think Aldridge is the main problem with the Spurs. I use to live in Portland and have season tickets. He has always been a choker in the playoffs. Period. This whole year he has been a disappointment. The Spurs biggest weakness is a lack of #2 scoring option. That is supposed to be Aldridge.

Still-- maybe this will be the year he does it. Go Spurs.

[Chinook]

I thought LMA did a good job on both ends. He's the only big playing competent D, and he was efficient on O. 16 points on 14 possessions is nothing to sneeze at given that it look roughly 98 possessions to get the Spurs their 94 points.

yup the sad thing is this team need at least a decent Manu or Parker in order to have a chance at winning


sure I think we will have either one at decent level for about 75% of our games. But we won't have them for 25% which means we are bound to lose at least 1 or 2 games in ever series. that's tough to do for 4 straight seris.

actually near impossible

[hater]

I'm pretty sure no one can fire Pop.

why thou

[BSfromTX]

TBH if we lose to the grizzlies then Kawhi should be traded too. No way in hell he should lose to the grizzlies in the 1st round. I have faith that he'll come through though.


True, BUT in fairness he can't be benched in the third quarter either. Can't blame him if he's not given the chance

[objective]

Circumstances will "Blow It Up" for the Spurs most likely by summer 2018 anyway.

Parker's deal over, Manu over even if he does another one year deal. Pau's deal over even if he picks up his option this summer. Aldridge and Green have opt outs. Anderson will be restricted. Bertans restricted. Probably no Lee or Dedmon after this summer, maybe no Mills.

The roster will likely have major turnover heading into Kawhi's late 20s.

LMA was good when they went to him often. When the Spurs go to him sparingly, he doesn't do so well. He starts off great then just like KL, the PGs ignore the fuck out of him.

[Slippy]

why thou

Pop is the president of operations or something to that effect. someone feel free to correct me on this

IE he's in charge of Buford & everybody else except the owner who doesn't get involved. Only he can fire himself I think. Which is not going to happen so retirement is probably when pop steps down.

Neither Gasol or Randolph has Kawhi on their team. If there's one thing the Spurs don't need is to be Memphis.

The Spurs are a top-10 player surrounded by a bunch of middling bench players. They have literally less than a 1% chance against GSW.

We need to punt Tony and Manu and go get some real top-level guards.

[ElNono]

we should blow it up, tbh... bring back Kawhi, LMA and Manu for one more year...

[SAGirl]

:lol

[duncan2k5]

Get rid of tony and many...get a center that isn't foul prone...and a good starting SG that doesnt invoke fear when he dribbles, and who is a liability when he isn't hitting threes...Danny's defense doesn't overcome his bad offense...because to be honest, you put a SG who is average defensively at that spot, but reliable on offense, we would be next level...I'm almost to the point where I think Simmons would be better alongside kawhi than danny

:lmao Even more cliché and vanilla.

Spurs have no shot at a title unless they find suitable Parker and Ginobili replacements while a bunch of the key pieces are still in or at least close to their prime.

To be fair, no one does right now outside of the Warriors. Barring at least one of Durant, Curry or Green being injured, they will win the championship.

My stance has been long established and has nothing to do with one game against a mediocre and overmatched opponent.
