Game 8: GSW @ Spurs Thu. 11/02 7 pm C, 2AM Riga? Televised on TNT

[FkLA]

Why doesn't this mouth breathing Donkey ever get T'd up?

[sasaint]

I can't think of a worse play call.

Absolutely surreal!

[mclinejr]

Refs let that donkey talk to them like hes they father smh

Fuckin a dude. T his ass up.

[tholdren]

Absolutely surreal!

Watch again

[sasaint]

Spurs defense is laughable...Warriors just playing with their food out of sheer boredom...

Dubs need to stay sharp between practices.

[bklynspursfan]

CROFL so many people cliff jumping over this game

Bunch of clowns on here man. It's so silly

[FkLA]

I can't think of a worse play call.

Tbf I have more faith in Danny doing anything that involves dribbling than I do in Fatty Mills.

[sasaint]

Watch again

? Don't get your drift...

[TheGreatYacht]

Gay cancering it up. Jesus fucking Christ

[Ron Swanson]

How was that close to a foul on Murray, Marv?

[BatManu20]

Rudy Gay... awful game so far tonight

[bklynspursfan]

Spurs defense is laughable...Warriors just playing with their food out of sheer boredom...

Seriously. It's almost as if they're missing their best defender.

[TheGreatYacht]

Randall Paul getting blocked. Simmons would never

[tholdren]

Gay... soft as gasysol

[TheGreatYacht]

Seriously. It's almost as if they're missing their best defender.
Still wiping that PATFO jizz I see

[sasaint]

How was that close to a foul on Murray, Marv?

He was breathing on Curry. I get it.

[TimDunkem]

Randall Paul getting blocked. Simmons would never

Yep. Simmons would've thrown that down.

[bklynspursfan]

How the hell wasn't that a foul.??

[Ron Swanson]

Manu gets the shit beat out of him and no call. Not surprising against this team.

[BatManu20]

Lol refs

[unleashbaynes]

What a gay no-call.

[tholdren]

Gay soft as gaysol

[mexicanjunior]

Seriously. It's almost as if they're missing their best defender.

You mean 80 million dollars worth of Patty and Pau can't make up the difference?

[tholdren]

Murray has to take curry to the rack

[unleashbaynes]

Warriors crying when they finally get called

[BatManu20]

Really hope this is just a bad game and not an indication of what we're going to get from Rudy Gay against Golden State this season.. cause this is bad.

[timtonymanu]

You mean 80 million dollars worth of Patty and Pau can't make up the difference?

:buh buh corporate knowledge

[TheGreatYacht]

You mean 80 million dollars worth of Patty and Pau can't make up the difference?
It's actually $98,000,000

[Ron Swanson]

Pau :lol

[Budkin]

Really hope this is just a bad game and not an indication of what we're going to get from Rudy Gay against Golden State this season.. cause this is bad.

Nah he’s having an off night. He’s been pretty decent this season so far.

[$pursDynasty]

Pau such a pussy

[tholdren]

Gaysoft as soft as gay

[timtonymanu]

Brandon Paul and Gay aren’t doing shit in this game

[bklynspursfan]

Manu struggling out there. Need him or Gay to get it going if we want to have a shot.

[TimDunkem]

Pau is a little bitch.

[Darius Bieber]

Now there’s a good rookie in Bell, not the trash the Spurs draft.

[bklynspursfan]

You mean 80 million dollars worth of Patty and Pau can't make up the difference?

Not sure what that has to do with the best defender being out (?) But ok lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Manure. You Mexicans weren't wrong when you said he was a warrior

[Capt Bringdown]

Manu stink ball

[cjw]

Brandon Paul and Gay aren’t doing shit in this game

Disconcerting given they're two key guys against the Warriors to combat their wing size. But remember both are playing outside of their roles with no Kawhi out there. Gay is definitely pressing.

[hater]

Gay playing like he just woke up from a nap

[Robz4000]

Really hope this is just a bad game and not an indication of what we're going to get from Rudy Gay against Golden State this season.. cause this is bad.

He's been regularly bad against GS most of his career, but you can't take much away from this game regardless.

[sasaint]

Nah he’s having an off night. He’s been pretty decent this season so far.

Yeah, it's his first bad game. I wish it weren't, but I give him a pass.

[daslicer]

Now there’s a good rookie in Bell, not the trash the Spurs draft.

Yes awesome player. He scored 2 points off a broke play. Definitely the difference maker out there.

[cjw]

Now there’s a good rookie in Bell, not the trash the Spurs draft.

But White is such a good story and good character guy!

[TimDunkem]

Now there’s a good rookie in Bell, not the trash the Spurs draft.

But the Spurs are such geniuses for drafting someone who won't contribute this season!

[hater]

Disconcerting given they're two key guys against the Warriors to combat their wing size. But remember both are playing outside of their roles with no Kawhi out there. Gay is definitely pressing.

Paul is too small

Its like he shrinks a little after every game

[tholdren]

Sad part about gay. Even though hes being a girl on offense, he plays like a scared version of gasol on defense. Too soft.

[boutons_deux]

-11 in 3rd, Spurs gone cold,

[Nathan89]

Yes awesome player. He scored 2 points off a broke play. Definitely the difference maker out there.:lmao

[tholdren]

Yes awesome player. He scored 2 points off a broke play. Definitely the difference maker out there.

Lol

[TheGreatYacht]

But the Spurs are such geniuses for drafting someone who won't contribute this season!
Derrick White is a 25 year old man and he's still a years away from being a year away.

[TimDunkem]

Yes awesome player. He scored 2 points off a broke play. Definitely the difference maker out there.
Oh please. If it was our rookie grabbing boards, blocking shots, and playing great defense you and everyone else here would be all over it.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

The Gay i feared we signed has shown up tonight

[FkLA]

Gay has to be like 6-10 or 6-11. Dude towers over true 6-7 guys like Donkey. He looks to be about Durbetas size, tbh.

[tholdren]

Oh please. If it was our rookie grabbing boards, blocking shots, and playing great defense you and everyone else here would be all over it.

Wahhhhhhhhh

[Ron Swanson]

Pau was completely lost on both ends there.

[Darius Bieber]

Lmao this Spurs team is trash

[TimDunkem]

Wahhhhhhhhh
Still mad. :lol

[mexicanjunior]

Not sure what that has to do with the best defender being out (?) But ok lol

It's almost as if the Spurs had money to improve the roster and make up for their best defender being out...but ok...

[timtonymanu]

Lol that’s what you paid for, PATFO

[SpurPadre]

That's game...oh well, they tried and played well under the circumstances.

[TheGreatYacht]

Gay has to be like 6-10 or 6-11. Dude towers over true 6-7 guys like Donkey. He looks to be about Durbetas size, tbh.
He has Durbeta's heart size, that's for sure.

[hater]

Thats it fellas

Calling it a night gotta do some work and these pussies are playing like they just got back from a group tickle session

Fags

[ElNono]

It's only November, tbh

[$pursDynasty]

17 million dollar Pau can't dominate vet minimum David West smh

[tholdren]

Sit gasol. Missed picks, tos, and defensive fails.

[sasaint]

Derrick White is a 25 year old man and he's still a years away from being a year away.

I am undecided about White, and I hope you're wrong, but... :lmao

[Darius Bieber]

Lmao I told y’all losers the Spurs would lose the next 5. Not one of you delusional Spur fans believed it.

[TimDunkem]

It's almost as if the Spurs had money to improve the roster and make up for their best defender being out...but ok...

:cry We already have one superstar. No need to improve anywhere else :cry

[hater]

:lmao Gasoft looks like a fucking tree out there

[tholdren]

17 million dollar Pau can't dominate vet minimum David West smh

Yet 99 percent of spurstalk wanted him to be a spur

[Robz4000]

Really hope the Spurs don't embarrass themselves and lose to Phoenix Sunday. Don't expect them to win tomorrow night but they can't lose that game and call themselves an NBA team.

[boutons_deux]

Pau sucks

[$pursDynasty]

That's game...oh well, they tried and played well under the circumstances.
Padre you are right, didn't play like they are intimidated, just outclassed. If LMA played this well after Kingslayer went down we would have taken the Dubs to 6 games.

[TheGreatYacht]

It's only November, tbh
It's only October...
It's only Novembe..
It's only Decemb...
It's only Janu...
It's only Feb...
It's only Ma...
It's only A...

[daslicer]

Oh please. If it was our rookie grabbing boards, blocking shots, and playing great defense you and everyone else here would be all over it.

He committed a stupid foul on Gay and also committed a foul on Manu that wasn't called on him. I don't see anything amazing about him. Any scrub that wears a Warriors jersey I feel you and other fans going to be overrating. Just like how a lot of posters in here overrated the scrub Mccaw who has been garbage this year.

[Nathan89]

Good thing them titty shaking hoes didn't win tbh

[bklynspursfan]

LMA should've shot that 3

[TheGreatYacht]

Aldridge just fcking hates open shots, doesn't he?

[TimDunkem]

He committed a stupid foul on Gay and also committed a foul on Manu that wasn't called on him. I don't see anything amazing about him. Any scrub that wears a Warriors jersey I feel you and other fans going to be overrating. Just like how a lot of posters in here overrated the scrub Mccaw who has been garbage this year.

His defense is better than Gasoft's, tbh.

[tholdren]

Pwned

[wingster]

Pathetic cliff jumpers you all are

[TheGreatYacht]

1980's postup offense :lmao

2 Seven Footers in the starting lineup :lmao

[tholdren]

Yes you just saw a warrior pass to himself and no traveling was called

[sasaint]

LMA should've shot that 3

Yep, and should have kicked that extra point last trip, too. LOL

[TimDunkem]

Pwned
Not at all, stalker. Stay mad tho'. :lol

[$pursDynasty]

Lmao I told y’all losers the Spurs would lose the next 5. Not one of you delusional Spur fans believed it.


Yet 99 percent of spurstalk wanted him to be a spur
I did too before he went to the Bulls, not when he came

[TimDunkem]

Yes you just saw a warrior pass to himself and no traveling was called :cry
Waaaaaahhhh

[daslicer]

His defense is better than Gasoft's, tbh.

That's not saying much. It's like me bragging that I can beat a 70 year old man in a race.

[sasaint]

Aldridge just fcking hates open shots, doesn't he?

No turnaround; no shoot.

[cjw]

Yes you just saw a warrior pass to himself and no traveling was called

And then a foul called after a travel on the next possession.

[tholdren]

I did too before he went to the Bulls, not when he came

He was just as shitty

[UZER]

Patty :lol

[TimDunkem]

That's not saying much. It's like me bragging that I can beat a 70 year old man in a race.

That's a fair point, but serves my point that PATFO is slipping when it comes to personnel. :lol

[tholdren]

And then a foul called after a travel on the next possession.

Lol i saw that too. Too bad the best players in the world have no fundamental skill

[FkLA]

Fatty looks like fucking shit. Can't get a step on anyone even with the help of screens.

[TheGreatYacht]

Mills, Forbes, Green, Fathead, Aldridge

Poop suckers trying to spin that shit :lmao

[Robz4000]

At least Thompson is putting in work for my fantasy team.

[TheGreatYacht]

Garbage time Kyle. There's no player better.

[DAF86]

Aldridge's athleticism/mobility is pathetic.

[$pursDynasty]

He was just as shitty
But that was adding him to the team, that just won the finals.

[TimDunkem]

At least Thompson is putting in work for my fantasy team.

ISHYGDDT?

[tholdren]

Mills, Forbes, Green, Fathead, Aldridge

Poop suckers trying to spin that shit :lmao

A pass first player with multiple.shooters.. who else are you going to play? Pau? Gay? Manu? Murray? They all played like shit

[sasaint]

This may be the season when PATFO makes a significant move before the trade deadline.

[boutons_deux]

51% - 39%

[BillMc]

Kyle having a nice game even as things slip away

[FkLA]

Fatty looks like fucking shit. Can't get a step on anyone even with the help of screens.

It's basically set a screen, Fatty takes two dribbles, the defender catches up, Fatty makes a u-turn to bring it back out. So youve wasted half the shot clock doing jack shit. Every fucking time.

[Uriel]

Would we have won this game if Kawhi had played?

[BillMc]

I'd feel better if Kawhi's injury hadn't entered "mysterious" category.

[Robz4000]

ISHYGDDT?

:tu

[tholdren]

It's basically set a screen, Fatty takes two dribbles, the defender catches up, Fatty makes a u-turn to bring it back out. So youve wasted half the shot clock doing jack shit. Every fucking time.

Ill bite. Who is setting a screen?

[UZER]

"Pop looking for anyone to help"

He overpaid these scrubs :lol

[boutons_deux]

Came out hot then lost next 3 qtrs

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Would we have won this game if Kawhi had played?

No way, way too many weapons on the Warriors

[Nathan89]

Would we have won this game if Kawhi had played?

Having the best player on the court never hurts.

[TimDunkem]

:tu
You're facing me this week. He singlehandedly brought you back. :lol :bang

[Robz4000]

Forbes should be playing over Patty at this point. They're literally the same player but Forbes is 4-5 inches taller and is younger.

[bklynspursfan]

Forbes with some big shots

[Robz4000]

You're facing me this week. He singlehandedly brought you back. :lol :bang

Not sure why I was down so far to begin with, hadn't been paying attention til today this week.

[TimDunkem]

Forbes should be playing over Patty at this point. They're literally the same player but Forbes is 4-5 inches taller and is younger.

And 100 pounds lighter.

[bklynspursfan]

Pop gets tossed but Kerr didn't

[Ron Swanson]

Pop's ready to hit the wine cellar.

[Robz4000]

Pop quit on the team

[RD2191]

:lol pop with the ol getting tossed in a loss

[DAF86]

That's how you get ejected from a game Kerr. Learn from the master.

[Keepin' it real]

Forbes with some big shots

There are no big shots when you're down double digits.

[SpurPadre]

Kerr could call them motherfuckers but the greatest coach in NBA history gets tossed at home.

[SAGirl]

Pop got tossed?

[Uriel]

:lmao

[TimDunkem]

Not sure why I was down so far to begin with, hadn't been paying attention til today this week.

Just a bunch of stat stuffers on my squad, tbh. Unfortunately, KAT shit the bed last night and no one on my team has a game tonight. :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Lmao who will Udoka, Messina, and Borrego say "Yes" to now?!?!

[bklynspursfan]

Pop got tossed?

Yea. Apparently he can't be pissed off but Kerr can. Kerr did the same crap and didn't get tossed

[mclinejr]

Refs let that donkey talk to them like hes they father smh

Fuckin a dude. T his ass up.

[FkLA]

Refs: only Donkey can yell at us who do you think you are Poop

[bklynspursfan]

There are no big shots when you're down double digits.

His shot brought them to single digits

[tholdren]

Cant decide who is worse murray or gay tonight?

[mexicanjunior]

His shot brought them to single digits

Hooray for moral victories...

[Uriel]

Okay, I'm signing off. Good night, fellas.

[Barfunk]

Damn the Spurs need to up their shit....

[DAF86]

Warriors not even defending Murray and the kid doesn't even look at the basket.

[FkLA]

Ill bite. Who is setting a screen?

Does it matter? Bitch tits Fatty isn't getting by anyone even if jesus christ himself set the screen.

[bklynspursfan]

Hooray for moral victories...

Not a moral victory... It's just an obvious observation that the guy made a couple key shots.

[tholdren]

Murray is so stupid

[DAF86]

Their rookied shitting on ours. Their second year player shitting on ours. Their FO shitting on ours.

[daslicer]

As good as the Warriors are. Durant is really the key to their success. Once he went off that's when the Warriors went on their big run. That was the case last year during the sweep which was the Spurs could play them close for a period time and then Durant would go off and game would be out of reach.

[Keepin' it real]

Spurs future on display now.

[TimDunkem]

Nah. The Warriors were dogging it until the third then it was over.

[Robz4000]

Jordan Bell is the best young prospect on either team tbh.

[tholdren]

Murray is so so stupid

[TimDunkem]

None of our young players look very good, tbh.

[sasaint]

Spurs future on display now.

I guess I don't need to wear shades...

[DAF86]

The fuck are they even doing out there? :lol

[mexicanjunior]

None of our players look very good, tbh.

FIFY

[tholdren]

I have never seen such a terrible pg. How he ever was recruited in high school is insane

[BillMc]

Well, Hell's bells.

[SpurPadre]

Their rookied shitting on ours. Their second year player shitting on ours. Their FO shitting on ours.

Their health shitting on ours

[UZER]

Pop is done. He seems pissed he committed to keep coaching the team for sorry ass LMA.

That's why I think he doesn't give a shit anyone really, hence all the Trump blabbing.

He doesn't want to be on the bench anymore.

[TimDunkem]

FIFY

This is why you develop young talent and upgrade whenever and wherever you can instead of relying on one guy surrounded by old men and no-talent scrubs to get it done every season.

[99 Problems]

With a fit Kawhi we will be looking pretty good tbh.

[UZER]

This is why you develop young talent and upgrade whenever and wherever you can instead of relying on one guy surrounded by old men and no-talent scrubs to get it done every season.

But our 35 year old super star point guard is still missing :cry

[TimDunkem]

Their health shitting on ours

As well as every player on their team 2 through 17.

[NASpurs]

So they were down 18 and won by 20? :lol If that’s not toying with your opponent, I don’t know what is.

[SpurPadre]

They didn't want to just fuck us up the ass from the get go. They saw that the team lubed their assholes so they decided to wait and go with a little foreplay action before fucking us in due time...

[BillMc]

So they were down 18 and won by 20? :lol If that’s not toying with your opponent, I don’t know what is.

Worse, I think they were actually down 19 at one point. :bang

[spurs10]

Nothing at all surprised by the outcome of this game. Can't help but think Durant has singlehanded lay made the NBA the 'who cares' league. There wasn't a fraction of the enthusiasm for him when he won his ring compared to the last several years of baseball. It's not very exciting when a multiple time MVP joins a 73 win team.

[8FOR!3]

Jordan Bell is the best young prospect on either team tbh.

Yeah anyone with half a brain could tell you that he's built for today's NBA and yet every team passed on him at least once. Many guys picked before him will be scrubs. Can't help but think he would've been better to have against the elite teams than a guy like Derrick White. I guess if White becomes a knockdown shooter and a good defender then I'll eat my words but until then blah.

[Capt Bringdown]

With a fit Kawhi we will be looking pretty good tbh.

Pretty good compared to what? Spurs aren't close to being a tier 1 team anymore. 1st round cannon fodder at best.

[UZER]

They didn't want to just fuck us up the ass from the get go. They saw that the team lubed their assholes so they decided to wait and go with a little foreplay action before fucking us in due time...

Well to be fair, going Harvey Weinstein isn't a good look right now.

[Blackjack]

Dropped in during the third with the Spurs down 2.

How in the fuck were they up 19? These GSW fucks are just toying with them now. It's a pattern.

[NASpurs]

They didn't want to just fuck us up the ass from the get go. They saw that the team lubed their assholes so they decided to wait and go with a little foreplay action before fucking us in due time...

Some sweet nothings before getting a log jammed up your ass.

[$pursDynasty]

This may be the season when PATFO makes a significant move before the trade deadline.
Maybe move Fatty and Gasoft for Ty Chandler and Bledsoe

[TimDunkem]

Yeah anyone with half a brain could tell you that he's built for today's NBA and yet every team passed on him at least once. Many guys picked before him will be scrubs. Can't help but think he would've been better to have against the elite teams than a guy like Derrick White. I guess if White becomes a knockdown shooter and a good defender then I'll eat my words but until then blah.
It's a bad pick regardless. Spurs should be in win now mode considering we're in Kawhi's prime. Yes, rookies hardly ever contribute to championship teams, but it looks like GS looked for and found one anyway.

[BillMc]

I miss Tim Duncan.

[Robz4000]

Pretty good compared to what? Spurs aren't close to being a tier 1 team anymore. 1st round cannon fodder at best.

This, but I think they miss the playoffs this year since Kawhi's gonna be out a while (the whole season).

[sasaint]

Pretty good compared to what? Spurs aren't close to being a tier 1 team anymore. 1st round cannon fodder at best.

With $98MM in 2 deadweight contracts for a couple more years. :wow

[Robz4000]

I miss Tim Duncan.

Just glad we had him as long as we did. Makes the tough years ahead easier to bear. Thanks for 5, Tim.

[BillMc]

They didn't want to just fuck us up the ass from the get go. They saw that the team lubed their assholes so they decided to wait and go with a little foreplay action before fucking us in due time...

:lol Is that the game call courtesy of Brazzers?

[Nathan89]

Jordan Bell is the best young prospect on either team tbh.

He will never be as good as Kyle Anderson.

[TimDunkem]

Maybe move Fatty and Gasoft for Ty Chandler and Bledsoe

No one is trading for those bums now after how they've started this season. Besides, Spurs value their ":cry culture :cry" far too much to ever move them.

[sasaint]

Maybe move Fatty and Gasoft for Ty Chandler and Bledsoe

Insufficient. At the rate 50Mills and Pau are playing, the Spurs would have to add a couple of firsts.

[Nathan89]

Pretty good compared to what? Spurs aren't close to being a tier 1 team anymore. 1st round cannon fodder at best.
Heard this last year tbh.

[SpurPadre]

Well to be fair, going Harvey Weinstein isn't a good look right now.

But the Dubs aren't known for their sensitivity.

[SpurPadre]

:lol Is that the game call courtesy of Brazzers?

Pornhub, tbh.

[NASpurs]

Was Nick Kerr made GM during the offseason? Only way I can explain the offseason moves.

Beta front office hiring your main rival’s son. :lol

[Nathan89]

You idiots realize gsw would rather have ka than no skill bell right?

[BillMc]

Pornhub, tbh.
:lol

[SpurPadre]

Some sweet nothings before getting a log jammed up your ass.

I'm surprised they didn't jizz on Kawhi's quad, tbh.

[8FOR!3]

It's a bad pick regardless. Spurs should be in win now mode considering we're in Kawhi's prime. Yes, rookies hardly ever contribute to championship teams, but it looks like GS looked for and found one anyway.

I think their pay roll makes it harder for them to pay roll players, so they have to go after where they can give one guy the MLE and everyone else vet min's and hope some rookies pan out and can help immediately. We've got (in theory at least lol) more and better level role players, even though sometimes it doesn't feel at all that way. So you'd assume you're better off drafting a guy like White who can be your starting two guard in a couple of years and be a better version of Danny. However, it has to actually work out that way for it to make sense.

[NASpurs]

:lol Is that the game call courtesy of Brazzers?

Youll find the replay of this game under the “anal” section of Pornhub. Uploading as we speak. :tu

[Robz4000]

He will never be as good as Kyle Anderson.


You idiots realize gsw would rather have ka than no skill bell right?

:lol

[Capt Bringdown]

This, but I think they miss the playoffs this year since Kawhi's gonna be out a while (the whole season).

I think there's a chance that even if Leonard comes back, they still miss the playoffs.
Parker...? Most likely done
Manu...Done
Pau...Done
Mills...useless
Green...trash
Murray...garbage-time scorer
Gay...just not good enough
LMA..."improved," but for how long? One thing's for sure: he will flake out when it counts

[TimDunkem]

You idiots realize gsw would rather have ka than no skill bell right?
They would rather have an established player over a rookie?! Shocker!

Actually...Probably not. Bell looks perfect for the team they have.

[SpurPadre]

Youll find the replay of this game under the “anal” section of Pornhub. Uploading as we speak. :tu

Gotta be careful when searching for Rudy Gay highlights there, though.

[TimDunkem]

I think their pay roll makes it harder for them to pay roll players, so they have to go after where they can give one guy the MLE and everyone else vet min's and hope some rookies pan out and can help immediately.

So you'd assume you're better off drafting a guy like White who can be your starting two guard in a couple of years and be a better version of Danny. However, it has to actually work out that way for it to make sense.
That's how the Spurs should have been playing things if they were going to overpay scrubs like Mills and Gasoft.

[Nathan89]

They would rather have an established player over a rookie?! Shocker!

Actually...Probably not. Bell looks perfect for the team they have.

Ka was always a better prospect than bell. He significantly better than bell at the moment.

[TimDunkem]

Youll find the replay of this game under the “anal” section of Pornhub. Uploading as we speak. :tu

:lmao Oh shit

[daslicer]

You idiots realize gsw would rather have ka than no skill bell right?

Bell is a scrub and Mccaw is a scrub. A lot of these posters are going to glorify anybody that wears a Warriors jersey. I could be signed off the street from the Warriors and these jokers would be screaming "Spurs fucked up by not signing Daslicer. We could have had him. The warriors got Daslicer this guy is huge steal and he's going to be good for the next 10 years."

[TimDunkem]

Ka was always a better prospect than bell. He significantly better than bell at the moment.
I don't disagree, but what's your point? Bell was brought up as a pick the Spurs could've made this year. Anderson was drafted years ago.

[Robz4000]

I think there's a chance that even if Leonard comes back, they still miss the playoffs.

- Albert King

Green has been pretty great this season (and wasn't bad at all tonight tbh) and Murray has shown flashes. Agreed on the rest though.

[NASpurs]

Gotta be careful when searching for Rudy Gay highlights there, though.

I get what you’re saying but with the way he played tonight, I think Dawkins is putting Rudy’s highlights under the scatting category.

[TimDunkem]

I could be signed off the street from the Warriors and these jokers would be screaming "Spurs fucked up by not signing Daslicer. We could have had him. The warriors got Daslicer this guy is huge steal and he's going to be good for the next 10 years."
Probably not, tbh.

[BillMc]

Gotta be careful when searching for Rudy Gay highlights there, though.
:lmao

[daslicer]

Probably not, tbh.

You would after I get a wide open dunk in garbage time.

Be honest. You probably can't make a layup. :lol

[Nathan89]

I don't disagree, but what's your point? Bell was brought up as a pick the Spurs could've made this year. Anderson was drafted years ago.
Point this forum sucks off gsw scrubs and the spurs have a much better young talent. Also spurs don't have the talent to play limited players like bell.

[John B]

Spurs are just playing under the radar for this national telecast. :rollin

[midnightpulp]

Can't take the pulse on this team until Kawhi returns. He's the centerpiece, obviously.

[Capt Bringdown]

Green has been pretty great this season (and wasn't bad at all tonight tbh) and Murray has shown flashes. Agreed on the rest though.

Green always has stretches in which you think he's turned a corner. File these moments under fools' gold.

Murray - granted he still young, but just as with Green, the flashes are merely that.

[TimDunkem]

Point this forum sucks off gsw scrubs and the spurs have a much better young talent. Also spurs don't have the talent to play limited players like bell.

I think this forum is too busy sucking off our own scrubs, tbh.

Come on be honest after I dunk in garbage time you would be my number 1 fan and screaming that the spurs passed up on all-star talent.

Wotsup here. Millsy is back....Kawhi just around the corner. People going on like ZaZa just won MVP or somethenn.

[ceds]

Haven't been able to watch any games this season but I'm hoping kawhi is shelved so LMA can put up numbers and up his trade value

Opinions on LMA play so far??

[SAGirl]

This, but I think they miss the playoffs this year since Kawhi's gonna be out a while (the whole season).
They signed two players in the offseason to lead the tank and Manu one more season to say farewell to the fans and still place butts in seats.

[Robz4000]

They signed two players in the offseason to lead the tank and Manu one more season to say farewell to the fans and still place butts in seats.

Unfortunately nothing can get those butts away from Whataburger.

[hater]

I think there's a chance that even if Leonard comes back, they still miss the playoffs.
Parker...? Most likely done
Manu...Done
Pau...Done
Mills...useless
Green...trash
Murray...garbage-time scorer
Gay...just not good enough
LMA..."improved," but for how long? One thing's for sure: he will flake out when it counts

"You cain't grow nuthin on poor soil."
- Albert King

IF Kawhi comes back healthy and thats a huge IF. We will make the POs but will be a 5,6 seed and probably lose in round 1

If Kawhi comes back hobbled or doesnt surely we miss the POs

[ElNono]

Spurs should be able to make the playoffs comfortably, tbh... Dubs are at another level talent-wise, and the other relatively good teams are OKC and Houston...

West is still pretty weak, IMO.

[hater]

Clitters memphis and utha are better than spurs without kawhi

Indont see kwhi coming back for another month so well have to mount a comeback on the backs of manus mummy and old porker

[Ice009]

They signed two players in the offseason to lead the tank and Manu one more season to say farewell to the fans and still place butts in seats.

If this was the case (tanking), what's the tank for, though? A good draft pick still might not help Kawhi win now.

They still signed Gasol and Mills to huge contracts. Are they planning on tanking for 2-3 years?

[venitian navigator]

if ther's a year to tank is this one...there are at least 5 players that should be immediately able to contribute from then start in a starting role.
And with our limited cap we can not compete next year in the free agents market...so, we need the low salaries (for at least four years) that a draft choice takes.
So, imho, the draft is the only way to effectively improve our roster in the future...and give to Kawhi the future teammates for his future as the next spurs veteran leader.

[r0drig0lac]

I should have used the blue font.

Mills was better last season, so I doubt Spurs signed him with the intention of him getting complacent, coming in fat to lead a tank.

As for Gasol, I'd like to believe had JSimms agreed to join the Spurs back, Gasol's contract would have been smaller, but JSimms shunned the Spurs to pursue greener pastures and thus Gasol got lucky and ended up overpaid. ^ This reason is why I don't begrudge the JSimms thing. Had he been offered Mills' contract, at 12:01 maybe he'd be back, but he wanted a different environment and is happy with his choice, so I don't begrudge him. Anyways, Spurs ended up overpaying Gasol bc of it.

Kawhi getting injured for this long just got me in a sarcastic mood is all. :toast

[TimDunkem]

I just don't get overpaying a guy who had only played 62 (I believe) games with the team before he opted out because of loyalty, or simply because he had to wait a month for a new deal. And this is the same guy who shunned them years before when he could've actually been a game changer.

It was a bad move no matter how you look at it, imo, and still makes no sense to me.

[cd021]

Assuming Kawhi is back and at 16-17 levels and LMA is still a 20 and 8 player, I think we'd be the second best team in the league whether record or seed reflects it or not.

The Spurs didn't offer Simmons a contract and in retrospect it was clear that they weren't interested in bringing him back, they even explored an S&T with Phoenix for Chandler.

I think they penny pinched him but yea, the interest wasn't there in bringing him back with priority and he also had his own desire to move on.

After kawhi and marsha we have a bunch or borderline nba players and nbdl level players

After hthose 2 we have easily the 3rd or 4th worst team in the league

Forgot to remember not to take you seriously. That's on me tbh

[SAGirl]

This take is going to be unpopular with the Murray fancrew but I looked up the bench To and a bunch were caused by Curry or someone else drifting off Murray so far, that they played passing lanes and caused TO. That allowed GSW to gain momentum and get back in a game in which they were getting blown out by the starters and couldn't defend them or get anything going early. Murray, with his complete lack of shooting and reluctance to shoot is going to be tough to fit in. He also lost Curry off screens a bunch. Overall, another forgettable game from him.

Yeah and I don't want to hear this "that was the deal for his opting out, if they couldn't sign Paul". The deal should have been to reimburse him for the $16.8M he opted out of or at worst something like 2/$25 M (basically, what he opted out of plus the MLE, which is probably his true market value) not tack on what they did. If that was going to be what it took to get him to opt out, then they should have attempted to salary dump him into Timberwolves' cap space instead. They wanted him in '16 and probably would have taken his one remaining year instead of overpaying Gibson for two.

Watch me :downspin:this. You guys are looking at this all wrong and without the bigger picture in mind. These contracts are very calculated. You guys can't even give benefit of the doubt to the best run organization in all of sports for the past 2 decades. Some of yall deserve to be a Knicks fan and no what a real shit run org does.

Pau and Patty's contracts are players we want. PATFO would rather have players they want than overpay for players they don't want. Think about this for a second, we are a small market with little incentive to play here outside basketball, so how can you creatively attract players that can win elsewhere with bigger roles. The Spurs have decided to do it with class, by being a first rate organization that has a reputation for taking care of it's players. When you think Spurs, you think class and family and that's a culture they have created. We are like the Mercedes-Benz of the league. LMA, Rudy and Pau are examples of that coming to fruition. Not the names you want but names that have come due to reputation of this org. Otherwise who'd come here? Someone would have to get paid to take up cap. That's where true bad contracts come in, like the Mozgov's, Dieng's, and Crabbe's of the world. Like they said, they know Pau can play as well, but the same is true of Rudy. Rudy could of easily gone to OKC but he chose us and it's because of the minutes management and rep, the same rep you guys are indirectly criticizing. You guys act like we can get anyone we want.

I agree about Simmons, but letting Manu ride into the sunset while competitive with the same team is unheard of. Yeah we could sell out but that contradicts the class reputation the team has built. While I too wish we had Simmons, moved on from Patty, not resigned Pau; I understand why they did it. They are being true to the culture. :cry

That's a commendable trait that I guarantee 90% of y'all don't have the sniff of discipline to commit to. We have something special here and it won't last forever. I'd enjoy it.

No, I'm looking at it like all right; you're looking at it like an apologist. I didn't mentioned doing anything shady or underhanded to Gasol, just not giving him virtually all the leverage, which they clearly did.

Spurs were more than likely Gay's 3rd choice. He lives in Miami and there was mutual interest, but they choose Olynyk. There was also mutual interest with Thunder (rumor was he was close), but they choose Patterson. That left Spurs, who could easily outbid them at that point.

I specifically said in another post, where I defended the Aldridge extension, that they can't get anyone they want, but that went for stars. Not role players, like Mills and Gasol now is.

What "we" have here, is a front office that started drinking their own Kool-Aid post '14 and fucked up royally in recent years, more than likely destroying any chance of Leonard having a legit shot at a championship for the foreseeable future. It's possible they may even lose him because of this ineptitude.

Sounds like your mad that they stayed true to the culture. I guess you know best. And what ineptitude are you referring to? Pau and Patty's contract, which they already said was to preserve the culture. I'm sorry but if they feel that was what's best for the franchise I'm gonna lean with the Org that managed to somehow keep Duncan and surround him with the talent to win four more. Doing the right thing isn't the most popular thing to do, but it's preservation and legacy, things that most immature people can't comprehend. If they feel the culture was that much in danger, than they would know. You can't sacrifice everything you worked for to sell out and be like every other franchise and distant yourself from what makes you stand out. The culture is like a baby and I understand that you can't put a price on that. Scoffers underrate the players this year. We could easily win this year if healthy.

Edit: OKC didn't choose Patterson over Gay, they didn't want to wait and lose out on both, so they picked the sure thing. They would of rather of had Gay.

No, I'm confused as to why they inexplicably gave Gasol virtually all leverage, when they didn't have to. I don't want to hear this culture nonsense, with a guy who'd been here one season and is among the most arrogant players in the game.

They got lucky to keep Duncan and lucky with Ginobili, Parker and Leonard. Where they've thrived is with the diamond in the rough types, but even then, it only all mattered because of an all-time core that, as talented as they were, were even better than the sum of their parts.

Preservation and legacy? :lmao Culture comes from your best player(s). Spurs culture was because of Robinson, Duncan, Parker, Ginobili, for the most part. There's some remnants of it in Leonard, but he's a little different and Aldridge is a lot different, so naturally things are different. Trying to cling to what was or recreate it, is a fools errand.

The overall talent isn't the issue, but the lack of so much as a competent starting PG, as well as the antiquated style, is. Some of the latter is due to personnel, but it's also due to a lack of emphasis on pace and space.

Whether Thunder would have preferred Gay to Patterson, is irrelevant. Point is, there's ample evidence to believe Gay picked Spurs because they had the MLE to offer, while Thunder only had taxpayer MLE, a 1st year difference of about $3.21M. Gay also has a PO for about $3.1M more than Patterson's 2nd year, which has no option.

[dabom]

All this talk about antiquated and we were still up 23 on the warriors last year. I think that is anything but.

[dabom]

The FO is ok in running it back. The addition to RG is gonna show in the PO even more.

[TD 21]

It was one game, Warriors were clearly rusty from long layoff and not used to being tested and Spurs were clearly riding high after annihilating Rockets sans Leonard and getting him back. They probably hold on with Leonard (wouldn't have been shocked with a repeat of game 1 of the '08 WCF, though) and find a way to take one of games 3 or 4 at home before succumbing.

Gay was a nice pickup, but doesn't solve the PG issue or archaic style of play. Warriors averaged 116 a game last season and 120 so far this one. Even if Spurs can hold them to 110 a game, they have no chance of generating more than that through glacial pace and low volume 3's and free throws, against an elite (when they stop coasting) defense.



(1) Well there definitely be nothing to come of this conversation after that, especially when that is why they did it.

(2) When your known around the league for ability to develop, I'd say it was more than luck. Even if you can't admit it, many people in the business will.

(3) Well obviously PATFO feels different and I have to agree with them. Patty has been a perfect embodiment of the culture and they felt he was important. Time will tell.

(4) Preserving culture that is worth it is no fool's errand. It's actually very important and the identity of the franchise.

Overall though, it's like you think you can run the team any better. Maybe more transparency could help you understand, but they have their intimacy practices or family practices and I understand that. But yeah just sounds like your a spoiled Spurs fan. 48 days of a losing record since Duncan came I believe the stat was, so I'm sorry but I think the Spurs have done just fine and we have consistently overachieved.d

I don't buy that. Think they did it because they essentially gave up on trying to do better and concluded good was good enough.

Sure, they deserve some credit (Ginobili was damn near a finished product when he came over though), but it was mostly luck those 3 becoming as good as they were or are.

No, you don't have to agree with them; you're allowed to have an original opinion. It's okay.

It is and they contradicted themselves by signing and extending Aldridge, as well as signing Gay. Aldridge isn't a typical Spur in game or personality (other than him being quiet) and Gay isn't in at least game either.

Typical apologist and loser talk and the last 20 years are irrelevant, when I clearly was speaking specifically about the past 3.

Pretty much this. I feel a lot of spur fans can't admit that the spurs got robbed last year with Zaza injuring Kawhi. I feel a lot of them say "Well we would have lost in 5 or gotten swept" as a retarding coping mechanism to deal with the pain of Kawhi not playing in that series. It's like how some rape victims cope with rape by saying "Well I deserved it."

The Spurs org has 20 years of excellence that I'm referring to while you are just spitting your opinion I guess, which is known around these parts to be pessimistic and come off as crying as most here long enough would know.
(3)And more reason to explain why Patty was signed. Thank you.
(4) Ok last 20 is irrelevant I guess, how about the last 3 years? How many days under 500? Won 60 games 2 seasons out of 3. I guess your gonna reference playoffs and I would say we were Leonard injury away from winning it all. I'm sorry I'm an actual fan and you my sir are a pessimistic critic who thinks he's a realist. If the Spurs win it all, don't even show your face here tbh. That negative nancy stuff is old. We need more fans here and less critics. Everyone thinks they know better than the Spurs constantly doubting them yet the success achieved is unprecedented. These fake fans need to gtfo and let the real ones take over. But speaking for the real fans, they don't need to constantly voice their opinion cause they actually believe. So no surprise the troll and critics run rampant here.
