are the spurs missing the playoffs?

[gambit1990]

-lonnie out 6 to 8 weeks
-murray out for the year
-white out 6 to 8 weeks

[BackHome]

We tanking baby. :hungry:

[Robz4000]

Had them missing the playoffs even before all the injuries tbh. The defense is going to be near nonexistent.

[Harry Callahan]

Too many injuries. Too many vet departures.

[ulosturedge]

If we tanking yes. Which i'm on board with.

[james evans]

I thought everyone was against tanking when I said we should trade Aldridge and Kawhi for draft picks and tank this year which would have gotten us 3 lottery picks in a 2019 draft that’s loaded with talent

[illusioNtEk]

If your list continues then yes...... but right now I think we can make it atleast...

[gambit1990]

i voted yes... even with the current injuries there's still a preseason game & the whole RS for someone else to get hurt...


and the west got stronger... wins against the lakers, mavs are far from automatic.

[gambit1990]

scratch 6 to 8 weeks... white out indefinitely...
1050804542282129408

[TDomination]

I hope they dont, I'd love for the spurs to overcome all this adversity and still make it.

If were gonna miss playoffs it may as well be that both Aldridge and DeRozan get hurt and go for that #1 pick like in 96.

But if they both stay healthy i hope we make the playoffs

[SuperCam]

spur don't even have a top 50 pg in the league right now. think about that.

[TimDunkem]

PATFO slurpers would say Patty is a top ten due to culture alone.

[Kobe'sAchilles]

On the bright side- Derozan and LMA's numbers should be through the roof!

[SAGirl]

Dabom of course.
:spin

[SAGirl]

It really comes down to whether I think LMA can still put the team on his back. I am feeling very negative right now but dare not count him out. If Lamarcus gets injured, they are out IMO.

[gambit1990]

spurs will lose more games when resting players because their depth is shot.

[JeffDuncan]

The injury epidemic, before the season even starts, has scared me into voting yes, we'll miss the playoffs. I can't see an 82 game regular season going by with no more significant injuries.

[sasaint]

On the bright side- Derozan and LMA's numbers should be through the roof!

Nah, defenses don't have anybody else to worry about. Gonna swarm DeMar and LMA every touch.

[baseline bum]

Losing Murray was a death blow to the team's playoff chances. No way they're making it in a conference with CP3, Curry, Westbrook, Lollard, Holiday, and Conley being checked by a combination of Forbes and Mills.

[itzsoweezee]

The Forbes-derozan-gay/gasol lineup isn't going to stop anyone. If this team is in the top half of the league, defensively, popovich deserves coach of the year

[objective]

I thought everyone was against tanking when I said we should trade Aldridge and Kawhi for draft picks and tank this year which would have gotten us 3 lottery picks in a 2019 draft that’s loaded with talent

There weren't any lottery picks offered for Kawhi, and nobody was going to give a lotto pick for Aldridge. Boston allegedly might have given the Kings pick but they couldn't even match salaries, plus the pick disappears if it was #1.

Lakers had no lottery picks, Clippers with Kawhi wouldn't be in the lottery, etc etc

Even putting Aldridge on the market now ... Not much demand for a post and mid range big who demands LOTS of touches. He's good and produces, but it's a lot of salary to match and hard to find decent picks to go with.

[YGWHI]

There weren't any lottery picks offered for Kawhi
Depends on what rumors you believe...Some guys already said Clippers offered their two picks before night's draft.

Also, Philly offered a combo of young guys that could help a lot now and in the future, plus Jabari Young tweeted that Sixers were Kawhi's agent 2nd option after L.A.

The Spurs had options but I guess they didn't want to send him to L.A./Philly/cities/markets his agent and fam liked.



Anyway, the Spurs will make playoffs.
I said the same last regular season when some fans panicked after the loss vs Lakers, we shouldn't worry, this team will get a PO's spot without doubt.

[sasaint]

The streak ends.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I think they'll make it. Murray as a starter last year didn't move the needle much for the Spurs in terms of creating wins. If the Spurs don't lose anyone else I think they'll still be ok. And by OK, I mean they'll be first round playoff fodder...again.

The Clippers were for last draft, that wouldn't get them more lottery picks in 2019. Even the Clippers picks weren't great, one of them probably would have been Walker anyway

Philly's offer was never clear, but could have been as weak as Saric, Bayless and future firsts. MAYBE they could have had Covington instead of Bayless, but even that wouldn't be better than DD and Poeltl.

I would have preferred forcing Kawhi to sit out. They didn't get enough from Toronto. But looking at all the other deals, what they got was the best. Every team had plenty of time to put a better offer together. Nobody offered much. Lakers wouldn't even include Ingram or Kuzma if LA reporting was accurate Boston wouldn't include Brown or Tatum. Phoenix wouldn't trade the #1 pick.

And I don't see any good lotto picks available for Aldridge, sadly.

SA is not winning the Lakers, no chance

Well you get your wish cause now we tanking lol.

[BackHome]

I am an opstimistic person but Murray is out all season who was pencled
to be starting PG. Fast forward to today it looks like our back up PG will miss 8 weeks or the whole season. So add
those two injuries and the sprinkle in Walker who will be out probably be 4 months it don’t look good. Oh and let’s not forget Metu also broke his wrist we need to hire someone to remove curses!!!!

you know for a fact will have another injury when season starts probably Gasol or Forbes.

Just hit me all of our foreign draft
picks were also injured Hanga, Nestor, Nod ,..fucking WOWo !!

no, not a lottery pick for THIS YEAR, but a future lottery pick, cuz whomever team Aldridge would go to was gonna be right back in the lottery next year. That's what I was saying. Not trading Aldridge for 2018 picks, but for 2019 first round picks.

Get the fuck outta here, Philly wasn't even offering Fultz.

[YGWHI]

Get the fuck outta here, Philly wasn't even offering Fultz.
Spurs didn't want Fultz nor a combo of multiple young useful pieces. If Lowe is right PATFO asked one of Simmons/Embiid.

https://sixerswire.usatoday.com/2018/09/14/sixers-spurs-kawhi-leonard-markelle-fultz-trade-rumors/

[John B]

i guess Manu is unretiring. And did Tony sign that Hornets contract?

[Kawhi_6rings]

we will have better record than craptors for sure

[Kawhi_6rings]

Get the fuck outta here, Philly wasn't even offering Fultz.
kachoke didn't worth...................

[Bynumite]

Hopefully. 9th in the west would be ideal tbh. No playoffs and a shit draft pick.

[gambit1990]

would rather tank than make the POs... it's gonna suck getting blown out and swept by the rockets or the warriors. (which is what i said last year when i wanted to blow the team up.)

can't see pop tanking (or blowing up the team) though... not at his age/stature.

[DMC]

-lonnie out 6 to 8 weeks
-murray out for the year
-white out 6 to 8 weeks

Without the big 3 up there, no way we ring this year.

[BackHome]

No way we making playoffs either.

[gambit1990]

spurs are currently in a four way tie with UTA, NO, HOU for the 9th seed... and the jazz, rockets are going to finish ahead of the spurs.

spurs only ahead of the suns in the west atm.

[skin27]

The way this team is playing right now it’s possible for them to miss the playoffs

[gambit1990]

if the spurs lost against MEM the other night then they'd be sitting at #9 right now.

[Robz4000]

Only chance they have is for White to not miss any more time and play well. Might not matter since the league is hell-bent on getting the Lakers in.

[gambit1990]

spurs play the nets tomorrow, then the pistons... then okc, den, atl, mil...

[GreekSpursfan]

Of course Spurs will miss the playoffs, we all want to see LeBron getting swept by the Dubs

[Texas_Ranger]

i don't really care. If they make it, they'll just be fucked in the first round. And if they don't make it, they'll finish 9th which means a shitty draft pick tbh. I still believe they should have tanked from the start of the season.

[dbestpro]

For now? Just put this team out of its misery.

[Robz4000]

Agreed.

[SouthTexasRancher]

No, this Spurs team should start thinking Lottery at this point. We are bad, really, really bad and not much hope of getting any better. We stink like a 4 day old dead body of a 500 pound man found in a canvas tent out on the street and the temps are around 105-108 degrees F. Time to put on the masks and scoop the decomposing body up with a Cat 950K front end loader and bury it 12-15 feet deep underground.

[TimmyBuckets]

This team doesn't deserve to be in the playoffs.

[TimDunkem]

No. They will do everything they can to get their cheeks clapped by the Warriors in the first round....again.

[skin27]

It looks like spurs are going to miss the playoffs:lmao

[gambit1990]

spurs will be #9 if the kings and clippers win tonight.

[timtonymanu]

The Kings are long overdue for a playoff appearance. Rooting for them to make it in for sure.
