The 2018-19 NBA Season's Worst Rebuilding Situations


...

WHICH NBA TEAM HAS THE SADDEST REBUILD?


San Antonio Spurs. It is hard to watch San Antonio right now, especially with Kawhi Leonard immediately returning to MVP form in Toronto. The Spurs are ahead of only the lifeless Suns in the West, and they appear headed to the lottery for the first time in a couple decades. What does this team’s future hold? It’s unclear how much longer Gregg Popovich wants to keep coaching. DeMar DeRozan and LaMarcus Aldridge are good players but hardly modern superstars. And both are signed through 2021, though Aldridge’s deal is only partially guaranteed for that last year. The Spurs, too proud to full-on tank right now, also likely won’t even have a great draft pick next summer.

So how do they get better? Their young talent isn’t exciting, their vets can’t get them over the hump, and the city has never really been a free-agent destination. The situation is especially sad because of how consistently great this organization was, and how strange it is to see the team be nothing more than... below average. It’s hard to watch Pop, who deserves to be in charge of a contender, even if he’s the last person to ever ask for sympathy. It’s one thing for the Suns to suck. They have a terrible owner and routinely make bad decisions. Watching the Spurs stumble is like finding out your parents actually have flaws. I just don’t see how this team gets significantly better any time soon. And watching one of the greatest coaches in the history of sports toil in irrelevance in the twilight of his career—after so recently being feared—is diifcult to swallow. — Rohan Nadkarni

Is there any doubt that Pop will play the same rotation like in the last game? I expect 0 changes

[BatManu20]

Spurs are favored tonight. We actually play the Lakers well and give them trouble for some reason. Don’t know if Lebron can go God-mode down the stretch in b2b games against us. I think we win this one tbh.

I’m all for the tank but I hate losing to the Lakers. Hope we win this one.

The players will work had for the win but Popovich, Cunningham, and Fatty Mills will be too much to overcome. Lakers by 10

Putting that Hornets money to good use :lol

Hopefully he lends it to the Spurs during mid-April...

[NASpurs]

It's time for White to start over Forbes, seriously. I don't care if Forbes is there to spread the floor. Lately the only thing that he's been spreading are his cheeks. At least if White is sucking on offense, he can actually play some competent enough defense.

[NASpurs]

OTOH, if Forbes starts, that means that he, Patty and Marco (and Cunningham too if they continue starting Bertans...after the Lakers game) are going to get a lot of minutes together coming off the bench. There's just no easy solution for this fucking horrendously put together roster.

[JeffDuncan]

Trap game.

[Gibbz]

I'm ready for the tank. I'm not disgusted with the franchise or anything. It's been a ridiculously long run and when you end the run of 3 HOF players including one of the greatest players of all time, along with your perceived torch-bearer who's an All-NBA talent, shit is gonna be tough-sledding. I like our players but it's a roster with a play-style constructed for 2002. I'd like to see Lonnie be with the team soon and he and DW get a lot of run, along with Poeltl. Spurs are on-pace for a top-8 pick even without letting the young guys take their lumps. Hit on that pick and have a returning Dejounte and we're right back to having an intriguing team.

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs are favored tonight. We actually play the Lakers well and give them trouble for some reason. Don’t know if Lebron can go God-mode down the stretch in b2b games against us. I think we win this one tbh.


1071146780262248448

We play them well because they don't have 3-point shooters. If their 3s are not falling we can hang with them. If they fall, you saw what happened in the 4th quarter of the last game

[NASpurs]

Lose this one and the Spurs will have more losses than the team above them, the Heat, who would have pick #7 according to tankathon. The Heat have seemingly a gimme against the Suns tonight.

NASpurs : Great analysis.

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Pop deserves what he gets. Even if you put the Kawhi situation 100% on Kawhi and uncle, Pop still had a major role in shaping this roster and direction of the franchise unlike many coaches in the league. Add to that some of the rotations he has chosen to roll with (not only this year) and I for one don't have any sympathy for Pop (obviously not speaking about his personal loss)

[NameLess Scrub]

We play them well because they don't have 3-point shooters. If their 3s are not falling we can hang with them. If they fall, you saw what happened in the 4th quarter of the last game

Exactly.

Also why do we keep playing the Lakers all the time? Is this some ESPN LeBron conspiracy?

[spurraider21]

Worst home court in the league and I don't think it's close

[TimDunkem]

Dante fucking Cunningham in 2018 being a featured part of your offense. :lol

[Robz4000]

Lebron is routinely destroying Cunningham while the Lakers just completely ignore him on defense. Literally 4 on 5 while he's out there, and Pop is prolly gonna play him 35+ mins. What a shitshow.

[Bynumite]

Spurefs still in full effect from last game. Lebron getting hacked in the paint on every trip, no call :lol

[dbestpro]

Pop continues to try and put a square peg in a round hole with Cunningham. Just bad, bad coaching.

blow it up! you cant be losing to garbage lakers twice. its weird seeing a bad spurs team.

Thank god I'm not sipping that Palmdale water like the faggots downstairs tbh......

Hoping for a 1-5 homestand tbh, hopefully guys like Beli and Forbes starting putting up some big empty stats during it.....

Some high 2nd rounders would be great to acquire tbh...

Like I said after the Spurs beat the Lakers twice earlier in the season, it's a couple of loser teams playing meaningless games.....this is big for you Killa since your team has been irrelevant for the better part of a decade now so i get it....but this isn't the Kirby/Duncan rivalry of old mah nig.....

Yes, taking pussy ass fade away jumpers

[therealtruth]

Pop's always struggled with turnover. Remember 09-10 when they got RJ/Dice and it took him the whole season to figure it out and they made seventh seed. That was the same season he declared before the season he should be fired if they didn't win it all. Add in injury to Murray and a deep WC and you get second to last.

Pop will never take the blame. It's the players not understanding his top notch defensive schemes, not him signing bad defenders

[RD2191]

[RD2191]

Man, Spurs really should try and tank. A solid 3 and D forward would do wonders for this team.

[NASpurs]

Derrick White makes some dumbass passes. All that fucking cranium and no brain.

[paperboy77]

What the fuck is it with Pop and Forbes? I was glad when the guy was playing well and hitting shots earlier in the year. Now the guy is a complete liability and Pop still sticks with the guy.

And I guess White is in the dog house?

[Bill_Brasky]

It feels like the next time i see Aldridge use his body to lean into a defender and get his shot off will be the first.

Woulda been nice to have players like Cory Joseph, Aron Baynes, Boban, JSimms, Dewayne Dedmon stick around instead of committing a bunch of money to Patty Mills and Pau Gasol.

Fuck it, tank.

[hater]

White fucking sucks

[RD2191]

This season is a wash tbh. The talent just isn't there.

Just tuned in... are we flat getting outplayed or is Bron and company getting a bunch of calls?

[HarlemHeat37]

This bench unit is so undisciplined defensively, they've allowed so many open shots, fortunate that LA has missed them..

[NASpurs]

The bball IQ of this team :lol

[slick'81]

Only down 7 lets go spurs

[HarlemHeat37]

This team is so poorly coached and undisciplined..lack of talent is bad enough, but being undisciplined is inexcusable..

[NASpurs]

Turtle :wow

[phxspurfan]

Purrrrtl best player on the team

[RD2191]

Davis 3

[Bynumite]

Stop fouling these scrubs smh.

[Barfunk]

Dah-vis

[RD2191]

Mills! :lol

[slick'81]

Poodle power

[CitizenDwayne]

Lol lebron complaining about that call

[NASpurs]

Lakers have scored what, 9 points in the past 5+ minutes? Not bad.

[HarlemHeat37]

This woman ref really doesn't like LeBron:lol

[JeffDuncan]

Somebody save that inbound pass. It's the signature play of the season.

[LakerHater]

This season is a wash tbh. The talent just isn't there.
It wont hurt then, but could help.

[Bynumite]

Spurefs taking over :lol

[testies]

Lebron really is a cancer for their defense. I don't think he's a top5 player anymore

[Spurs fever]

Go Spurs Go!!!

[HarlemHeat37]

We'll know if Pop is intentionally tanking if he puts Aldridge back in the game:lol

[LakerHater]

At this point why not. This team is going nowhere already.
EXACTLY!!
people complain that he dont play D but spurs are dead last in D!

[spursparker9]

Female ref in the game?

[sasaint]

If they drop this game the Spurs will go 1-5 on this home stand.

[ace3g]

Turtle Power!!!

[RD2191]

Turtle!!!

[NASpurs]

Purtle Power :wow

[slick'81]

If they drop this game the Spurs will go 1-5 on this home stand.

losing to perrinal doormats such as chi and pho?!

[sasaint]

Leave LMA on the bench the rest of this game. Need to trade him ASAP.

[NASpurs]

Damn son, what's gotten into you :lol

[Bill_Brasky]

Why are you trying to win you idiots

[RD2191]

Turtle and 1! Is that prime Timmy?!? :wow

[ace3g]

Turtle Power x2!!!

[NASpurs]

Tank Commander Mills isn't going to let the win happen.

[slick'81]

No one man can stop poodle power!

[sasaint]

Poodle has excellent touch around the rim, unlike Touches.

[iGetbuckets]

Fucking Patty lol

[Ditty]

Jakob finally starting to come around !

[Bill_Brasky]

Bron gets no respectd

[RC_Drunkford]

Poeltl dominating on both ends

[FaM0us Skins]

Poeltl keeping us in it

[LakerHater]

Poeltl Power

[Spurs fever]

Crowd is jacked!

[RD2191]

As I said, trade LMA, we play better without him.

[Bill_Brasky]

Lol at the refs not buying lebrons flop

[sasaint]

LeBron has some whine or strut after EVERY possession.

[NASpurs]

This is getting out of hand. Need to put LMA and Forbes back in for tanking purposes.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Man Poeltl looks like a different player from the start. Started this season with no confidence and now is just oozing confidence as of late. Truly the only bright spot this year. Kids only 23 years old

[Joseph Kony]

spurs actually didnt just roll over and get thrashed, nice to see. Poeltl really stepping up :tu

[TheGreatYacht]

The Jizzkers fans have left the chat

[RC_Drunkford]

hold on LeBron is playing and Cunningham is on the bench? :wow

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

How did DDR miss Poetl, all by himself in middle of the paint

[SPURt]

Poeltl making fools expendable

[Ditty]

Stop trying to win!

[NASpurs]

As I said, trade LMA, we play better without him.

Seriously, the guy just kills whatever flow with his antiquated game. But you also must appease him with his precious touches.

[TheGreatYacht]

hold on LeBron is playing and Cunningham is on the bench? :wow
Don't jinx it :depressed:

[SpurPadre]

Demar ballin but come on, even Mcgee made both his free throws in this quarter.

[Robz4000]

Poeltl's transformation from the start of the season to now is the only feel-good story about the Spurs this season.

[HarlemHeat37]

spurs actually didnt just roll over and get thrashed, nice to see. Poeltl really stepping up :tu

They would have if Aldridge had remained in the game..his body language and demeanor is depressing..

[Bynumite]

No way Lebron should have only 8 FTA with how much he's attacking the rim.

Meanwhile this chucker Defrozen has 16 FTA. Spurefs :lmao

[sasaint]

losing to perrinal doormats such as chi and pho?!

Already got trounced by one of those perrenial doormats. And had a tight game against the other.

[Barfunk]

Stop trying to win!

I hear you, I do, but we're not getting a top pick with this team, so we might as well fight for 8th.

[99 Problems]

DeRozen :claw

[BackHome]

I want to loose for high draft pick but the looks of the Flakers fans at the game make me want them to win

[NASpurs]

Bertans :wow

[ace3g]

Bertans 4 point play chance!!!

[sasaint]

Poeltl's transformation from the start of the season to now is the only feel-good story about the Spurs this season.

Sadly. But, he is proving he is a keeper.

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Poeltl's transformation from the start of the season to now is the only feel-good story about the Spurs this season.

Imagine if we had a real PG he could run the PNR with

[RD2191]

Great energy out there

[Joseph Kony]

b3rt4ns :wow

[NASpurs]

Purtle :wow

[slick'81]

Fck the lakers

[ace3g]

DeRozan/Poeltl PnR

[Joseph Kony]

No way Lebron should have only 8 FTA with how much he's attacking the rim.

Meanwhile this chucker Defrozen has 16 FTA. Spurefs :lmao
:lol getting shit on by jakob poodle

[JPB]

Bandwagoning.

[NASpurs]

I like how the bench is standing up... except for LMA.

[RD2191]

Seriously, the guy just kills whatever flow with his antiquated game. But you also must appease him with his precious touches.

Exactly. His style of play kills whatever little rhythm the spurs have out there.

[SPURt]

Sean just said Poeltl looking like Oberto

[sasaint]

bad call on Poodle. Sheesh, this new NBA.

[Barfunk]

Offensive foul up the wahzoo

[Bynumite]

These calls getting ridiculous :lmao

[baseline bum]

Melo? Yall are some stupid motherfuckers smh

You don't think he'd be a helpful tank commander?

[skin27]

Spurs only play like this against the lakers

[sasaint]

Lonzo with a no-call flagrant. Smh.

[SpurPadre]

This team must have better discipline with their 4th quarter shot selection.

[Bill_Brasky]

Purdle is nice, can he shoot?

[sasaint]

I like how the bench is standing up... except for LMA.

He was standing in the shot I saw, smiling and applauding after one of Poodle's buckets.

[Spurs fever]

DeMar better without LA lol

[NASpurs]

I like watching these players on the floor who look like they actually give a fuck.

[sasaint]

Purdle is nice, can he shoot?

Apparently not further than 3 feet.

[bklynspursfan]

I like watching these players on the floor who look like they actually give a fuck.

Yup. So glad he stuck with those guys

[Spurs fever]

DeMar in the zone!

[RD2191]

Demar DeClosin!!

[Bill_Brasky]

This is pathetic all the way around. All star game level of defense.

[NASpurs]

He was standing in the shot I saw, smiling and applauding after one of Poodle's buckets.

My bad then. The one time I looked at the bench he was sitting down :lol

[KobeScored81]

The dog shit spurs only play good against us lmao

[Spurs fever]

Pending trade request from LA coming

[sasaint]

I like watching these players on the floor who look like they actually give a fuck.

YES! I am actually excited!

[Bynumite]

Spurs only play like this against the lakers

Because lakers are extremely inconsistent and streaky from 3 and then go on big droughts.

Any semi-competent 3 point shooting team would be blowing out the spurs right now.

[SpurPadre]

Too bad we can't play the Lakers 56 more times this season, tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Lakers fans :lmao

Enjoy not getting anyone to come bail LeCoasting out in the summer

[ElNono]

They would have if Aldridge had remained in the game..his body language and demeanor is depressing..

what about his body fat, tbh?

[Spurs da champs]

I'm fine with not making the playoffs for that lottery pick and beating the Laker's ass.

[NASpurs]

Great closeout by Purtle on Kuz :wow
