Not sure if posted yet. The spurs are hiring right now. If anyone here with a good mind is interested, you should give it a shot.

[NameLess Scrub]

Spurs lose due to being unable to make stops for 43 of 48 mins of the game.

Bryn and Patty will try to win the game by themselves and come a little short.

LaMarcus will either abuse them in the paint or settle for mid range turnarounds, depending on how short the defender is relative to him (the shorter the longer the shot).

DeMar will shoot 2.3% from 3pt.

Jakaw Purdle will post a statline 0/0/0/3.

[TDomination]

Hope we win!

If spurs find a way to lose then hit the panic button please

If both teams combined rosters, we still couldn’t beat the Warriors. Sad state of affairs.

I think we bounce back and win tonight against a bad team tbh. But if we lose.. we likely also lose tomorrow night @ LAC and then again on Saturday vs the Warriors. Would be rough.

Then likely lose again Monday @ New Orleans who are playing well right now.. We’d be 1-7 in our last 8 games lol.

I am a spurs fan. I don't understand, do I have to be born in San Antonio to be a fan or something? What if I legitimately like the team and yeah sure it's because of DeRozan. But I am rooting for the team to win and I watch them play even when DeRozan is on the bench. Show some respect faggot

Gay's out again? He'll probably play like 50 games this season.

It's Phoenix on the front-end of a B2B.

He will probably play tomorrow.

[TD 21]

:lmao At the genius playing doctor again and pretending it's still the Duncan era, where they can plug-and-play and still win at least 55.

Someone needs to wake this senile fool up. This nonsensical team he's had a hand in putting together, in a desperate (but futile) attempt to remain relevant, needs to treat games against bottom feeders as must wins. If he wants to play his shtick, save it for tomorrow.

So you want him to rest Gay tomorrow and make it a guaranteed loss?

The only schtick that is getting old is yours. Blowing out the Suns does us no good if we turn around to get blown out by the Clips, who are playing at a much higher level.

Spurs might end up losing both tbh, so they'd be better off going all-in on the shittier opponent than risk dropping all three games on this trip with the schedule about to get much tougher.

It makes no difference. If Gay is the difference between winning and losing in Phoenix, the team isn't good enough to care about winning games. You want to complain about Gay resting at all, that's one thing, though I think it would be rather obvious he can't really hold up over the course of a full season right now. But there's no real logic against Pop using this game to rest Gay as opposed to tomorrow. Not only are the Suns bad enough to where you can reasonably expect SA to win short-handed, but you might need Rudy to take on a larger load in the second game, given that DeRozan and/or Aldridge will be fatigued. Rudy is pretty much the team's only reinforcements right now, and you don't use those at the beginning of a battle.

Thank you.

If this team can't beat the worst team in the league without Gay....we have bigger problems.

I get that a win is a win.

For those of you who struggle with math...two wins is twice as good as one.

If you have a guy who can only play one game on a B2B, you save him for the tough one. Don't just give the tough game away if you can reasonably win the easy one with him.

Normally I'd agree but at this point they're missing their second best big (by a mile) in Gasol, leaving Gay as the third best sadly enough. The Spurs' size is their only advantage against other teams most nights and against Phoenix's shallow front line Gay really could be the difference. This Spurs team can't afford to go into any games at this point handicapping themselves.

this is just an opinion, the other side could easily be defended as well, I particularly prefer to see Gay against the Clippers because I want to see the "complete" team against the best teams in the league, and the Clippers are among them

[Mugen]

Early prediction for tonight - Spurs eek out a squeaker against the Suns and the apologists gonna ask where the PATFO haters at now :lol

That's why you play LMA 40 minutes tonight while he's somewhat fresh. Then tomorrow, when you can't expect LMA to bring that same effort again, you have Gay to help carry the load. Simply put, no one but a straight-lotto team can justify blowing their load to beat Phoenix. Even if they lose this game, for some reason, it would be better to win tomorrow anyway for tie-break reasons. The only way it makes sense to not save Gay is if you think the LAC game would be a loss anyway, and well, I don't.

[Mugen]

Hopefully the team isn't too spent after going toe to toe with the juggernaut Sacramento Kings

[Mugen]

Spurs got their shit pushed in by the juggernaut Orlando Magic at home on the 2nd night of a b2b, but yeah they definitely have a legit shot against the Clippers tomorrow :lol

I like how you're going for the split here. That way, if SA wins, you can act like you predicted it, but if SA loses you can act like your pessimism was warranted.

If the Spurs get this game, then it totally suggests that Pop made the right decision by resting Gay here. If the Spurs lose tonight but win tomorrow with Gay playing well, it still suggest Pop did the right thing. If the Spurs get blown out tonight, then it still suggests Pop did the right thing. There aren't many ways to cut this to where Pop was wrong for what he did. It's really obvious a priori that saving Gay for tomorrow makes the most sense. And this ignores that, hey, maybe Rudy needs another day off that heel to play his best anyway.

Chin, my dude. No need to preach to me about any of Pop's moves, I don't think it really matters anymore with the roster. You convinced me that the spurs shouldn't be favored against any team in the league this year after they made this year's Sac Kings look like the Kobe/Shaq Lakers.

I'm going into every game season expecting an L and will bet accordingly until Vegas figures out the team is trash, should help my viewing experience tremendously :lol

[Mugen]

Looking at the next 10 games, they'd be legit lucky to go 3-7 in that span tbh.

Makes me wonder what their record would need to be by January for the front office to start thinking about selling off DD/LMA, maybe 10 games under .500? Probably no realistic scenario out there for that unless Pop quits halfway through the season and abandons the farewell tour.

[Arcadian]

I'd like to say the Spurs "should win" this game, but it's still loseable. Ayton might explode tonight.

MUCH better athlete than Blair. But not a great shooter. He’s an undersized PF.

Very hard pass, tbh.

[MVPCues]

Bryn:"Cun, I will teach you not to steal the ball..."

[DAF86]

I'm 6 minutes away from wanting to tank.

[Leetonidas]

Ugh

[JPB]

Down 11 after 6 min vs the freaking Suns :lol

They still winning this tbh.

[r0drig0lac]

How old is that chubster? I wouldn't want to be franchise that needs to deal with that dude's weight problem when he hits his mid 20's, tbh.

well, honestly spurs could be the landing place for that child the way the team is looking now

[JPB]

Sorry, down 13 :lol

[NASpurs]

Good thing they're resting Rudy for tonight :lol

[SpurPadre]

Where's Horry to take out a Suns player when you need him, tbh?

[Arcadian]

:lol San Antonio Jizzrags

[vander]

Man, this team just can't shoot.

[timvp]

That starting lineup is so got damn broken.

[r0drig0lac]

MUCH better athlete than Blair. But not a great shooter. He’s an undersized PF.

as Dray, but 10x more athletic and likely to be a far better player than the already very good Draymond Green, Zion is like the pf / sf version of Shaw Kemp

[TheGreatYacht]

How much longer until we admit White is the problem?

[BatManu20]

DeMar taking over. He should touch it every trip down the floor.

[NASpurs]

Hopefully the Suns get bored from pounding on that ass and allows the Spurs to come back.

[Slippy]

This starting 5 aint working. The sluggish starts are becoming a trend. Always playing from behind usually 10 point hole to make up.

[Slippy]

This starting 5 aint working. The sluggish starts are becoming a trend. Always playing from behind usually 10 point hole to make up.

[NameLess Scrub]

Now every opposing perimeter guy is gonna die to play vs the Spurs?

Just bring the ball up and drain 3s on their faces.

[Budkin]

Nevermind, we’re missing the playoffs.

[MVPCues]

Purrrdle: "Dafuq, don't give me the ball..."

[DAF86]

lol at PATFO thinking this team could be competitive.

Good night sons.

[SpurPadre]

How much longer until we admit White is the problem?

Yeah, because Forbes is such a badass...

[Leetonidas]

Beyond pathetic. Trade this Austrian faggot

[Beartrucci]

How bad are we? Yea, we're this bad.

[Arcadian]

This is just comical at this point. I hope we lose :lol

[sasaint]

This starting 5 aint working. The sluggish starts are becoming a trend. Always playing from behind usually 10 point hole to make up.

[SuperCam]

this dumb fuck staff and front office deserves this for letting TP walk. the disrespect smh

[r0drig0lac]

How much longer until we admit White is the problem?

he is a weak defender, the point is that compared to the pet dwarves of Pop he is danny green

[JPB]

spurs aiming at the grand slam... Losing against all the NBA shitty teams :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Yeah, because Forbes is such a badass...
His scrub ass is making DeRozan ball watch. Forbes blows but at least he fit next to LMA and DD

[SpurPadre]

Kinda getting why Manu retired now, tbh.

[skin27]

Lol spurs suck

[TheGreatYacht]

this dumb fuck staff and front office deserves this for letting TP walk. the disrespect smh
Had to be said tbh

[r0drig0lac]

lol at PATFO thinking this team could be competitive.

Good night sons.

I would like to know who are the high qi players of this roster who can simply nullify the lack of athletics and size in the wings

[DAF86]

His scrub ass is making DeRozan ball watch. Forbes blows but at least he fit next to LMA and DD

I'm high on White but I didn't want him starting exactly because of that.

[Mugen]

:lmao

[SpurPadre]

His scrub ass is making DeRozan ball watch. Forbes blows but at least he fit next to LMA and DD

This is how Forbes fits on the court, tbh:

[John B]

Seriously 14 down to Suns??

[Budkin]

Lol spurs suck

They’ve shown flashes this season but this is pathetic.

[Robz4000]

:lmao

[NASpurs]

:lmao

:rollin resting Gay for tomorrow

[DMC]

Can't wait til the Suns push the team's shit in on Wed and you'll get the brigade here saying it wasn't a bad loss since Booker and Ayton are good players

[DAF86]

Why the fuck I'm still watching? :lmao

[objective]

Poeltl isn't really an NBA player right now

[SuperCam]

getting sonned by the worst d in the league :lmao

[NASpurs]

13-32 :rollin

[Dverde]

Smarter teams will start to pull players from our games to get better draft position

[JPB]

Funniest is we all know spurs still win this and we'll all laugh at the meltdown :lol

[r0drig0lac]

Canaa going ham

[Mugen]

Nevermind on that end of the year crap, the Pop might actually quit by December and the Spurs can actually blow this shit up

[SpurPadre]

This was the last thing we needed today after that hit piece on Bleacher Report, tbh.

[Nathan89]

Spurs tanking:danceclub

[BatManu20]

I’m quickly losing confidence :lol

[DAF86]

Funniest is we all know spurs still win this and we'll all laugh at the meltdown :lol

:lmao:lmao:lmao

[MVPCues]

If the Suns thrown the ball out of bounds 18 more times in a row, I predict the Spurs catch up.

[SpurPadre]

Poeltl isn't really an NBA player right now

You can say that about a few others in this roster, tbh.

[r0drig0lac]

Funniest is we all know spurs still win this and we'll all laugh at the meltdown :lol

yep, some will really see the positive side of this, but the reality is that no matter what happens in the rest of the game this is pathetic, it is a winless situation, honestly

[TheGreatYacht]

Knew this was an L a mile away as soon as I saw the @ on the thread title. This team is horrendous on the road and they have Devin Booker back

[StinkyWeezleteats]

DeMar looks as interested as a gay guy watching a lesbian orgy right now

[marinoman]

So who wants to bump the gutless worms thread?

[NASpurs]

Poeltl nearly ended Patty's life. Too bad.

[The Closer]

We need November Parker. :lol

[Raven]

this team is unwatchable without rudy gay playing heavy minutes.

[skin27]

Like I said the the win vs Suns was a fluke because they had no booker and Canaan

[MVPCues]

Purdle knocking Mills off the court was hilarious.

[iGetbuckets]

:lmao:lmao

[Ron Swanson]

Are we playing the 92-93 Suns?

[Robz4000]

Poeltl doing what needs to be done tbh.

[SuperCam]

spurms making scrub PGs look like all stars :lol

[Arcadian]

Hey look, Toronto blew a 19 point lead.

[BatManu20]

this team is unwatchable without rudy gay playing heavy minutes.

How depressing is this statement tbh :lol

[Raven]

Funniest is we all know spurs still win this and we'll all laugh at the meltdown :lol
i fully expect them to lose against anybody with the current rotation.

[Leetonidas]

Getting really tired of hearing ".... They shot 60+% from the field" every fucking game

[SpurPadre]

Pop needs to bring back the "Guys played like dogs" blast again tonight, tbh.

[Mugen]

TD 21 getting flamed in his thread by the Pop/RC suckers right before this game :rollin

[SuperCam]

1 road win in the last 9 months, what incredible faggotry

[SpurPadre]

Hey look, Toronto blew a 19 point lead.

Did Kawhi get his quad blown?

[Mugen]

Pop needs to bring back the "Guys played like dogs" blast again tonight, tbh.

Yeah, that'll really show 'em :lol

[Robz4000]

TD 21 getting flamed in his thread by the Pop/RC suckers right before this game :rollin

:rollin

[MVPCues]

I wonder if it is time for a Pop staged meltdown to get thrown out.

[Dverde]

Rudy Gay...

Seriously. We have about the worst defense in the league.

[JPB]

yep, some will really see the positive side of this, but the reality is that no matter what happens in the rest of the game this is pathetic, it is a winless situation, honestly

They're playing terrible but it's still only 13 games into the season, White just came back, which demanded new adjustments, and Gay's still out. Let's give them until Xmas to jump off the clif.

[SpurPadre]

Yeah, that'll really show 'em :lol

Seeing how sensitive LMA is, he might demand a trade out of it, tbh.

[Arcadian]

Did Kawhi get his quad blown?

I think his period started midgame. Those gynecologist bills must be getting expensive!

[DAF86]

Hopefully this reality check makes PATFO reconsider the way they have gone about things. They need a blow of this magnitude to humble a bit.

[vander]

Getting really tired of hearing ".... They shot 60+% from the field" every fucking game

well it hasn't been exactly easy shots the suns have been hitting so far, they should start missing

[NASpurs]

Rudy Gay...

son, they have no human material to be competitive in this league, there is no magic, this is not a matter of adjustments, it was easy to see that even at the beginning of the season

[marinoman]

Hey look, Toronto blew a 19 point lead.
I’m not the type of guy to take pleasure in others failures, but we suck so...

They'll be well below .500 by then with the schedule about to get rough.

[Raven]

Getting really tired of hearing ".... They shot 60+% from the field" every fucking game
kinda happens when your biggest acquisition of free agency is one of the worst defenders of the last decade..

[Robz4000]

Hopefully this reality check makes PATFO reconsider the way they have gone about things. They need a blow of this magnitude to humble a bit.

Gonna take a 25 win season to do it, and even that might not be enough.

[JPB]

son, they have no human material to be competitive in this league, there is no magic, this is not a matter of adjustments, it was easy to see that even at the beginning of the season

Last time I checked they were 7-5, son.

[SAGirl]

Worst game thread iv ever seen. Spurs fans should be making the threads not player fans...
Jinxed it?

[Spurs fever]

Aldridge fell off a cliff

[Realdeal1]

Fkn brickfest for Lamarcus

[Ron Swanson]

LMA 0-7 :lol

[SpurPadre]

Our only two stars are 0-11.

[SuperCam]

LMA looks washed tbh

[bklynspursfan]

Aldridge is super frustrating to watch lately. Wish he played with some passion and fire. Poeltl has looked better tonight.

[SpurPadre]

We're still winning this but it'll be nothing to brag about, obviously.

[John B]

Aldridge needs to play hungry. Also Demar, come on. Let’s go Spurs!

[emanueldavidginobili]

This team flat out sucks. We can’t score a point with Jamal Crawford some random dude that wears 14 Josh Jackson Ryan Anderson and a rookie on the floor. it’s comical at this point

[NASpurs]

Maybe LMA will start giving a fuck when he's traded to another team.

[SuperCam]

this suns team really blows ass tbh, the kind of team the spur of old would rest 2/3 starters and still win by 20...

[Realdeal1]

Lamarcus playing like trash lately

[marinoman]

After last years mvp-lite year by Aldridge to this seasons disaster start, wow

[TheGreatYacht]

Aldridge fell off a cliff
He's 33 years old and is on the first year of his 3yr contract extension. This is just the beginning of yet another albatross contract by Drunkford :lmao

[RD2191]

:lmao spurms

[Robz4000]

Once it became clear Nephew was gonna be moved, the Spurs really needed to move on from LMA as well. His value was never gonna get any higher than it was in June/July, and now it's falling by the game.

[SpurPadre]

Aldridge is super frustrating to watch lately. Wish he played with some passion and fire. Poeltl has looked better tonight.

LMA showed some leadership last year. So far this season? Not so much.

[John B]

Aldridge should be beasting. Rookie Eyton is half his age.

[NASpurs]

LMA showed some leadership last year. So far this season? Not so much.

Probably because DeMar took touches away from :cry Ma Touches :cry

[DAF86]

How many more years of washed up Aldridge in the books?

[Robz4000]

We're still winning this but it'll be nothing to brag about, obviously.

Only if the Suns blatantly start tanking. This shitty lineup of theirs might get it done.

[bklynspursfan]

LMA showed some leadership last year. So far this season? Not so much.

I hate how complacent he is. We see him use his body and get great shots at the rim. He doesn't do it enough and just settles. I'm sure he's showing leadership skills, but his play has been too up and down for his role.

[JPB]

Philly losing to Orlando... 9-7 now.

[NASpurs]

Ryan Anderson :lol

[Spurs fever]

Eddie Johnson is brutal to listen to...

[DAF86]

The same unimaginative rotations of always. We have the starting lineup that got us into this hole out there, but Pop doesn't seem to care.

[RD2191]

I hate this Spurs team tbh. I especially hate LMA. He's a fuckin worthless jump shooting big man.

Sigh. I should be a mod. :wakeup

[Spurs fever]

DeMar!

[Mugen]

Imagine putting a 2018 NBA roster together who's entire success is dependent on Rudy Fucking Gay coming off a torn achilles. :lol

[SpurPadre]

In other news, Kabitch just missed a crunch time free throw per par.

[Budkin]

After last years mvp-lite year by Aldridge to this seasons disaster start, wow

I seriously don't get it. It's like he's too comfortable with Kawhi gone.

[Budkin]

In other news, Kabitch just missed a crunch time free throw per par.

Shades of 2013

[RD2191]

As I said before, it's clear LMA can't or won't play with another star next to him.

[JPB]

No worry peeps, Quincy will save the day.

[bklynspursfan]

Nice simple play there for Forbes to get that look

[DAF86]

The Mills, Forbes, Belli trio. That should get us right back into the game. :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Mills with his nephew impersonation

[SpurPadre]

Shades of 2013

He was good for those at least a couple games every season as a Spur, tbh.

[bklynspursfan]

The Mills, Forbes, Belli trio. That should get us right back into the game. :lol

Got us as close as we've been in a while

[DAF86]

The Mills, Forbes, Belli trio. That should get us right back into the game. :lol
