You don't judge a team when players are out, you judge when the full team is playing

[dabom]

I don't know how hard it is for people to understand that.

Let me explain.

1. If the cap is 100 mil and you have 50 mil in injuries. You are playing with a 50 mil team. They will look worse when they are playing with less talent.

2. If you have 100 mil of cap, and you have zero injured, you have a 100 mil team. If players are playing bad, judge them.

Don't be beta cucks and pretend you just didn't learn something. :lol

If Kawhi is there, Murray and Anderson will make their wide open layups?

Fathead wouldn't be playing more than 5 meaningful minutes. :lol

[dabom]

We are losing to a combination of lots of fathead and less Kawhi.

[Darius Bieber]

Celtics were without one of their best players too. No excuses. Spurs are trash.

[mexicanjunior]

Kawhi will want off this Titanic as quickly as possible...expect the Bledsoe-like tweets in the next month or so...

But we're playing with a cancer to replace him. Celtics are not.

Smh comparing Kawhi to that scrub from the Suns......

[dabom]

And my point still stands for the whole season so far.

Celtics were missing two starters dumbfuck :lol

Lottery vs late round picks. Lottery win big tonight.

I'd take him over the crap we have at PG in a heartbeat...

[TimDunkem]

Fathead sucks but the problem is that Kawhi and Parker aren't here to cover up the holes of players behind them. The team isn't as deep as last year either.

[dabom]

Comparing a loser player from the utah jazz to MVP-caliber player. :lmao

[dbestpro]

So what you are really saying is Pop is too fixated on Trump, and can't coach without Leonard on the floor.

It'd be the same thing, the guy rides the bench injured for 90% of the year.

[Spurtacular]

I think Pop is phoning it in, tbh. He hasn't done shit on this East trip; no game plan; no adjustments.

Bledsoe 10% > Fatty-Baby Groot

While you cant judge a team without its full compliment
You can most certainly judge the individual players and however lousy they are playing

[TheRemix]

The problem with the spurs without kawhi is that they're too passive and are forced to give LMA :cry his touches. Relying on post ups to get you points in todays game is a recipe for disaster. Team needs guys who are not afraid to penetrate and can actually hit a fucking 3

1st round loss if we make the playoffs

Another part of the problem. Also, we only have 2 penetrating players. Kawhi and DM. The offense is set to stall just because of our skill set.

In this, I agree with Dabom. Plenty of shticks he keeps going on, but this one is the truth.

You can't fully judge the team without their best player and other valuable roleplayers. It's time to just see what the young guys worked over the summer and recognize the team isn't whole. Hopefully guys will bounce back too (referring to the guys who shot poorly or had poor games in this one.)

[BillMc]

I admire OP defending his team against the troll-sharks who are happy there's blood in the water. True fandom there. :toast:flag:

Also doesn't hurt that what I say is actually true. :lol

[sananspursfan21]

I remember through the years, many a time when TD or Parker was injured or all of them sat and the bench would win some pretty gritty games. A loss is a loss. Especially 3 straight. 3 straight sucks no matter what your personnel looks like. I see what you're trying to say, but aside from BP3's 18 pointer, there's not really a bright spot here.

It was his worst game of the season tbh. He seemed out of his depth at times... But obviously it's a team sport. If he was the only one out of his depth it would have been easily solved. But it wasn't. Dijon also TO the ball way too much and missed his share of shots... Both guys with Kawhi and Tony healthy can go back to just playing minutes when they are helping and if they are having a rough night they don't play or get their minutes cut. BP3 played well and gave a spark, that was a bright spot.

Joff was also missed perhaps. I thought even in a loss I saw some good things.

Guys are missing the fact that Kawhi is an MVP who produces 25+ points a night plus some stout defense. Him alone might have dominated that team frankly. Cant wait for the Klaw's return.
:claw

I know. Kind of made me proud of him.

[rastaspur]

I tend to agree with hater on this one.

[MVPCues]

It is what it is. A 4 - 0 was start was probably better than expected. The last 3 the opposite end. The guys are feeling weight on their shoulders. Everyone will probably breathe a sigh of relief and play a little better when Kawhi returns.

Patty sucks. Pau is old. Murray is still green but hopefully keeps developing.

Paul and Gay are bright spots right now.

They will figure it out.

[dabom]

I know. Kind of made me proud of him.

All the old timers agree with me brah. There's a lot of them, they just ain't voicing their opinion right now.

...and also I have a penchant for being right. It's not a time to panic right now, that would be the worst move.

[vy65]

Wait wait wait ... I thought the spurs were successful because of the system! and culture! Can’t have it both ways. Either talent matters and trash like pube-head and Pau are dead weight. Or system uber alles, and these losses are inexcusable

here in ST, they judge a team based on emotion. they judge teams in the summer. they judge a team by games in October, pre-season, summer league and pick-up games at the Y. this is the site where you can go from being a title contender to a lottery contender in the span of four days just two weeks into a season.

925192097329754114 paul has a nice shot and is pretty explosive. from the small sample size, i like what i've seen so far. the question is where will he fit into the rotation when parker comes back? will murray go back to the end of the bench? will mills get a reduced role?

Murray should be the last person getting benched with the way Fatty is playing, tbh

[Ice009]

I kind of agree too. People need to open their eyes and realize that this team outside of Kawhi just isn't that good. Kawhi might take them a fair way, but even Michael Jordan got bounced in the playoffs numerous times when he had shit talent around him.

Doesn't matter how great an individual is when the rest of the team is mediocre. Gay and Paul are the only two players I like on the team besides Kawhi.

LMA is horrible after the first 3 quarters. He can't score with any reliability in crunch time, misses free throws, make poor passes out of double teams, yeah, he's not a last 6-10 minutes of the game and OT type of player.

Have a look at Michael Jordan, have a look at what he did with mediocre talent around him. You can be the best player in the world and still get bounced in the first round if you don't have a decent team around you. The west is more loaded this year, in most other years, I'd say Kawhi by himself can get the Spurs out of the first round, but with the wrong match-up and a poor or average showing from his teammates, the Spurs can lose in the first round this season. Hopefully, I'm wrong on that.

Kawhi is great, but IMO I think he's going to have to do too much for this team to have a chance at a title. Again, hopefully, I'm completely wrong.
