Lots of great news this game, tbh...

[ElNono]

Chief among them was benching Porker and Fathead in crunch time when they were letting the scrubs Nets back in it, tbh...

Hopefully this is a pattern that translates to the playoffs too, IMHO.

Tony was amazing. Just like during the championship years, this team goes as far as Tony goes

Agreed. Led all guards in scoring, just like he always has and always will. Too bad he doesn't speak Tijuana

[Hoops Czar]

It’s fine, tbh... regular season game against nobodies

[pgardn]

Tony and Manu are still our best two guards.

Play them with different units and during crunch time, it's gonna have to go back to them eventually.
If KL can stay healthy and Pau and LMA can stay attentive and poised. We ok.

Not all world, but a good watch.

:cry but but Manu's putback dunk when we we're up 10 with under 3 minutes to go :cry

Wrong.

Not when your best player shows himself.
And others look like they may adjust.

[duncan2k5]

How does Murray get benched after a string of good performances where he was showing growth? For the likes of forbes? And pop expects the guy to be consistent? What will happen when playoffs come and Porker goes down? Then is when u will want to depend on a young PG that played irregular minutes? The guy played 4 minutes tonight... Smh

I don’t know.... someone is going to have to break a leg for Murray to play.

Pop has has fallen in love with Forbes.

I like Forbes, tbh.

truth, tbh

Forbes is a piece of shit. He'll never play in the NBA again after his "career" with the Spurs is over. Think Gary Neal.

[Spurtacular]

Tony was amazing. Just like during the championship years, this team goes as far as Tony goes

Yea, a performance reminiscent of 2014 Gm 5 in which he came in with the game in check and stat stuffed.

[pgardn]

truth, tbh

So what did you want to see?

[SAGirl]

I like Forbes, tbh.
He’s just a better off the ball player than Murray, who isn’t a shooter and passes up open jumpers. Still, I feel like Pop has gotten too comfortable putting Forbes in too many micro sizes combos. Guy is 6’2” and competes as hard as he can not a knock on him.

[ElNono]

Manu
Green
Kawhi
Aldridge
Pau
Gay
Mills

Top seven closers, tbh.

Pop is just a charity case.

He's more of a basketball psychologist these days than a head coach. That's why scrubs like Laughverne, Bertans and Forbes have jobs in the first place. He knows they won't last long in this business and he feels sorry for them and if he doesn't feed them and clothe them, he won't feel complete as a human being. He's just another George Lucas that had more talent for 20 years.

Also, if you have a few pennies to spare, you should chip in or you're an ass.

[Fireball]

Manu still is amazing ...

[exstatic]

Forbes is a piece of shit. He'll never play in the NBA again after his "career" with the Spurs is over. Think Gary Neal.

Gary Neal played four seasons after he left SA.

[TimDunkem]

Neal was much better than Forbes is now. Just goes to show how deep Drunkford has been scraping the barrel.

[skulls138]

Should've known elnonos idea of great is to put someone down. Fooled again looking for something positive.

That's the idea of many on here lol

Gary Neal played four seasons after he left SA.

Four years too many, tbh. He played for 6 teams in that span and was really quite awful.

[bic50]

[spurraider21]

neal spent most of his nba career outside of San Antonio, fwiw

Manu was looking all star Manu. Dunking, blocking shots on the perimeter, steals.

Stealing money, tbh. He was a disaster after he left the Spurs. To put it simply, he owes the Spurs his NBA career because without them, he never gets a serious shot.

Can be said for many former spurs

[ElNono]

I hate playerfans, tbh... if you're a Spursfan, this is a great development, and hopefully Pop sticks to it.

We're already pretty shorthanded talent-wise to compete against the better teams to give up some more matchup advantages, tbh.

I've always been one of the biggest Parker defenders here, tbh, but those legs have too many miles, and while you're going to get a rare MVParker game here or there, his meager average offense can't offset his liability on defense anymore (*).

FatHead just shouldn't be on any alleged contender playoff rotation, IMO.



(*) yes, Patty is putrid on D too, but he at least is quick and enough of a threat from downtown where he requires attention from the defense.

This is you: "I hate playerfans: but I am one...."
"I am not hating Tony: but I am all the time, and constantly."

At least you admit to hating Kyle openly, but have gotten pretty nasty this season, celebrating an injury and wishing it was a career ended. Since then I see you for what you are. You used to be a funny troll, now the funny stuff has become old and cliche and gross.

The team has won a lot of games without their best player this season. There's just got to be someone in our own team to hate right?

To my credit, that’s how I felt about Bonner too, tbh, a guy that should’ve stuck to writing sandwich blogs...

The Spurs wasted years, cap space and games on that scrub, but at least we had the Big 3 intact to ring despite of him.

Don’t have that luxury anymore, and here we are, a player that outright yells at ast coaches and nothing happens because he’s Pop new favorite pet.

Again, if you’re a Spursfan, not a player fan, you want him gone ASAP, tbh

I hope Anderson gets added back in 2K online soon. He's a crucial part of my rotation. Without him, I have to play Lauvergne or Bertans more.

yeah, people always complain about patty's defense but tony's the biggest defensive liability... second worse DRtg, worst DBPM on the team... pretty similar to last season. and him being able to produce against scrub teams ≠ him being able to produce against contenders.

[tonight...you]

It's all in the seasoning baby. Although...
You can't break eggs until you know what you want the dish to taste like.

This team doesn't seem to care yet.

Hopefully it doesn't bite them in the ass.
