[Spurs da champs]

Good thing this beat down is early.

[Capt Bringdown]

No DW, no win

[Ron Swanson]

Good thing I started drinking early.

:flag:

[TimDunkem]

Rudy Gay out. Another L incoming, bois.

[monty4329]

Hopefully Gobert will want to show he deserved the ASG more than LMA...and will make 4 fouls in the first half.

[monty4329]

Rudy Gay out. Another L incoming, bois.

is it official?

[emanueldavidginobili]

Good thing I started drinking early.

Not looking good....

[TimDunkem]

is it official?

Yep. Left ankle sprain.

[GreekSpursfan]

Gobert did deserve to go to the ASG ahead of LMA but having said that my gut feeling says that we are going to win this.

[monty4329]

https://twitter.com/tom_orsborn/status/1094336274712866816

Not looking good....

Just rest everybody and leave DDR in 48 minutes, he will be happy to pad the statsheet, at least he won't pout on the way back home

[cd021]

Gobert did deserve to go to the ASG ahead of LMA but having said that my gut feeling says that we are going to win this.

Alright is having a better season, tbh

[cd021]

Forbes, DeRozan, Cunningham( :( ) LMA, Gasol
Starting lineup tbh

[TDomination]

Injuries to a team with little to no depth is impossible to overcome.
We need a horrible horrible game from the Jazz to have a chance.

[TheGreatYacht]

Road game, no Rudy, early tipoff. L

[Robz4000]

Yeah this should be over by halftime.

[LittleCriminal]

Spurs by 15..book it!

[diceman]

https://twitter.com/tom_orsborn/status/1094349309909250049

Going to be ugly with LA and Poeltl together......

[Ron Swanson]

Forbes
DeRozan
Bertans
LMA
Poeltl

[timvp]

https://twitter.com/tom_orsborn/status/1094349309909250049

Going to be ugly with LA and Poeltl together......

I agree with that lineup, tbh. Unfortunately the options are limited but this would be a good opportunity for Poeltl and Aldridge to learn how to play together ... and they'll be helped out by the spacing Bertans provides.

[MoSpur02]

This is a very odd start time for a game. I expect a blowout either way. I just hope it's the Spurs blowing out the Jazz.

[Budkin]

I would be shocked if we lose by less than 10.

[MoSpur02]

I expect Mitchell to drop 30+

[Spurch]

I'm very optimistic another loss could diminish moral I I was and still hoping for a 5-3 road trip record.

[NASpurs]

Game.

[MoSpur02]

I can see Pop pulling Poeltl out quick

[GAustex]

I'm very optimistic another loss could diminish moral I I was and still hoping for a 5-3 road trip record.
I thought the same about the last game...how bad they were getting hammered
Then Rudy Gay happened

[MoSpur02]

Good pass from Aldridge

[MoSpur02]

The Jazz have to have the ugliest uniform.

[r0drig0lac]

Derozan...

[MoSpur02]

Derozan at times seems like he exaggerates when someone bumps him or fouls him.

[Robz4000]

Derozan at times seems like he exaggerates when someone bumps him or fouls him.

He'd rather pout than get back on D. Classic cancerous behavior.

[MoSpur02]

The Spurs could sure use a big game from someone like Forbes, Bertans, Mills, or Belinelli.

[Robz4000]

At least Forbes is on for this game so far. He can actually guard Rubio too, unless Rubio turns into Curry, per par.

[diceman]

Derozan at times seems like he exaggerates when someone bumps him or fouls him.

I agree but he certainly hasn’t been getting the calls since the 1st of the year. And unfortunately he’s letting the lack of calls affect his play.

[smaka]

At least Forbes is on for this game so far. He can actually guard Rubio too, unless Rubio turns into Curry, per par.
Doesnt he always turn into Curry when he plays against us tho

[Bojo]

The only action I kind of like with Aldridge and Poeltl on the floor is the double high screen for DeRozan.

[Robz4000]

Doesnt he always turn into Curry when he plays against us tho

:depressed

[MoSpur02]

Hopefully Cunningham brings some good heads up play on defense

[MoSpur02]

Aldridge needs to really why he was chosen over Rudy Gobert

[Robz4000]

Spurs actually getting a kind whistle in Utah. Might be the first time I've ever seen it.

[r0drig0lac]

The only action I kind of like with Aldridge and Poeltl on the floor is the double high screen for DeRozan.

I think the fact that you need to start the two together is a clear sign that Pop has failed to build the roster (regardless of injury) or does not care anymore.

[Ron Swanson]

Leon +1

[MoSpur02]

Spurs actually getting calls on the road

[vander]

spurefs

[NASpurs]

:lol so ugly the past few minutes

[smaka]

Man, I haven't watched the Spurs for some time now and DeRozan is so damn hard to watch.

[Robz4000]

Even with the friendly whistle the Spurs can't do anything right. DeRozan continues to cancer it up and no one can hit a shot.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Defense is so bad we should be down by 20

[Raven]

i've been patient with cancernelli this year, but the anger is starting to get to me...

[MoSpur02]

Great defense by both Cunningham and Poeltl.

[Ron Swanson]

:lol so ugly the past few minutes

Yeah, that was a shit sandwich.

[Shakril]

Ok i am convinced now, gasol played before the deadline only to be showcased and traded. I am happy that Poeltl gets his minutes back (last 3 games).

[Bojo]

I think the fact that you need to start the two together is a clear sign that Pop has failed to build the roster (regardless of injury) or does not care anymore.

Sadly this might still be the best available SL without messing up the good bench mob too much...

A thing I really can't see anymore are the twos by DeRozan one foot within the arc. I'd rather watch Aldridge play a game shooting fadeaway jumpers only thb.

[MoSpur02]

One of the ugliest 1st quarters I've seen. Both teams playing horrible basketball. The Spurs ball movement is non-existent. What happened? During that homestretch it seemed like the " Beautiful Game" was making somewhat of a comeback.

[MoSpur02]

Ok i am convinced now, gasol played before the deadline only to be showcased and traded. I am happy that Poeltl gets his minutes back (last 3 games).


Yeah I said the same thing last game. Too bad it didn't work.

[Robz4000]

Get Mills off the court.

[Raven]

this has the looks of a massive blowout loss

[Raven]

One of the ugliest 1st quarters I've seen. Both teams playing horrible basketball. The Spurs ball movement is non-existent. What happened? During that homestretch it seemed like the " Beautiful Game" was making somewhat of a comeback.
cancernelli got proper minutes.

[smaka]

I have watched some pretty horrible games in my life and this one so far has the potential to be up there with some of them.

[MoSpur02]

When Belinelli is off, he looks absolutely horrible. His shot selection is one of the worst.

[Robz4000]

:wow Bertans

[212094ever]

Nice sequence by Davis

[MoSpur02]

Davis with the stuff and the three to follow it up!

[Ron Swanson]

Davis erased that shot.

[Robz4000]

One of the ugliest 1st quarters I've seen. Both teams playing horrible basketball. The Spurs ball movement is non-existent. What happened? During that homestretch it seemed like the " Beautiful Game" was making somewhat of a comeback.

White got hurt.

[Raven]

When Belinelli is off, he looks absolutely horrible. His shot selection is one of the worst.
when he's on he's horrible, when he's off it's lonzo ball levels of bad..

[MoSpur02]

I don't think it's a coincidence that this game is ugly and the fact that it started @4:00.

[r0drig0lac]

Spurs have the worst pnr defense in the league..it's bizarre, a simple pnr and the opposing team has an open shot, without help, 0 effort, no matter how many Mills points scores, he does not have the ability to hinder his opponent defensively, our bigs are basically throwing a 1x2 situation every moment

[Robz4000]

Here comes the blowout. Started as soon as DeRozan checked in.

[NASpurs]

At least Pop's standing up and acting like he's coaching. That's half the battle.

[Joseph Kony]

same shit different day fellas

[MoSpur02]

Belinelli and Mills come in as the Spurs start to make a small run. SMH.

[Ron Swanson]

Mills is so damn lost out there.

[Robz4000]

At least Pop's standing up and acting like he's coaching. That's half the battle.

If he gave a shit about coaching anymore this team wouldn't be full of non-NBA level players.

[bbarry]

One of the ugliest 1st quarters I've seen. Both teams playing horrible basketball. The Spurs ball movement is non-existent. What happened? During that homestretch it seemed like the " Beautiful Game" was making somewhat of a comeback.

Spurs are on the road.

[Alfo21]

Man... I am sure Jazz players don’t even shoot THAT open 3’s in practice. It feeis like we play 3v5 on defense. Just unbelievable.

[DPG21920]

Spurs suck. I had higher hopes but they are truly a fringe team as currently constructed. Hopefully with more time to plan this off season they can build a better team. This year was tough with Kawhi.

[ceperez]

This team is totally garbage. They keep leaving people open. Their offense sucks.

[Robz4000]

Spurs suck. I had higher hopes but they are truly a fringe team as currently constructed. Hopefully with more time to plan this off season they can build a better team. This year was tough with Kawhi.

I wouldn't count on it. Outside drafting PATFO have been awful in all facets. Pop in particular refuses to acknowledge the philosophical changes that basketball has undergone the past few years. He may not like it but he can't ignore it.

[r0drig0lac]

Jazz is stacked in the league's most important position (the versatile 3 & D that can defend 3 positions) with Crowder, Royce and Ingles, this advantage is too great for a team that needs to use smaller players like Mills and Forbes to overcome

[Robz4000]

Spurs are just plain getting bullied out there.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Bryn Forbes is the Spurs STARTING SG, that tells you enough about this team.

[NameLess Scrub]

Remember December when this team was good?

[DPG21920]

Can’t have 3 of Mills/Beli/Forbes. At least one if not two need to be moved in the off season

[sananspursfan21]

Jazz getting any shot they want. I get it. Our guys aren’t physically imposing. But just stay with your man and there’s at least a chance they miss

[212094ever]

They're running the same fucking play every single time ffs

[NASpurs]

I like how Sean keeps calling the defense "gimmicky".

[Robz4000]

:lmao Jazz have run the same play every time down their last five trips and have scored every time

[MoSpur02]

This team lacks a true leader. No alpha on this team.

[NASpurs]

Ricky "Steph" Rubio

[Robz4000]

God damn Steph Rubio

[Leetonidas]

Yeah not gonna waste my time watching this sorry shit. Team is basically completely reliant on Derrick White :lol how sad is that

[NASpurs]

On pace to give up 124 while scoring 98. We got them right where we want them.

[r0drig0lac]

Ricky "Steph" Rubio

when your defender gets killed with a simple pnr it's easier to hit open shots

[emanueldavidginobili]

Lol at mills just raising his 4 foot long wing spand to contest a shot.

[Degoat]

I’m not even mad at the players, I’m mad at Pop and RC not putting together a better team

[Raven]

hard to watch.

[NASpurs]

when your defender gets killed with a simple pnr it's easier to hit open shots

Yeah but... it's Ricky Rubio.

You leave a lot of our guys that open and they don't make those same shots.

[quentin_compson]

Defensively, this RRT has been a disaster so far. Is is really just missing DWhite? Probably not. The guys are so lackadaisical right now.

[venitian navigator]

the lack of perimeter defense of this team is something beyond all possible limits...

[emanueldavidginobili]

Guess I’ll just watch Duke vs Virginia instead

[timtonymanu]

Let’s go Jazz!

[NASpurs]

I'm counting down for the Commanders game. I don't know why :lol

[timtonymanu]

:lol all the Demar fans on here

Such a cancerous player on the court

[KDKSpurs24]

This team lacks a true leader. No alpha on this team.
That’s why people need to shut up about Murray being “expendable”. He’s young but he’d get these soft ass players to put forth more effort.

[smaka]

Det jazz core tho

[Hoops Czar]

Can’t have 3 of Mills/Beli/Forbes. At least one if not two need to be moved in the off season
Sure you can. It's called depth. :lmao

[DPG21920]

Sure you can. It's called depth. :lmao

They are good players. They just don’t fit together.

[Ron Swanson]

Good thing I started drinking early.

:flag:

[r0drig0lac]

They are good players. They just don’t fit together.

yes, they do not fit together into a competitive team

[Harry Callahan]

The lack of resistance defensively is truly disgusting. The Jazz are getting easy shot after easy shot.

The front office must acquire some hard nosed players that will smack somebody around and contest a shot.

This is becoming a totally frustrating exercise. Too many of these players have "checked out". I have not seen that in 23 years.

[007nites]

Absolutely pissening performance so far.

[r0drig0lac]

Demar's attitude is shameful

[concernedcad]

Feel bad for Pop. He has to do so much scheme wise to compensate for derozans awful defense.

[NASpurs]

:lol I can't wait for the offseason

[007nites]

Derozan looks like a bum

[quentin_compson]

It's odd how this far into the season the spacing with DeRozan and the bigs still doesn't seem to work too often. Just now, he and Poeltl bascially stepped one each other's toes, and the same has happened numerous times with LMA as well.

[Degoat]

Spurs just have no life in them

[NASpurs]

Feel bad for Pop. He has to do so much scheme wise to compensate for derozans awful defense.

You scout him, you trade for him and you know what you're getting. It's not like it's a surprise.

[DPG21920]

Where is the leadership? Chemistry?

[skin27]

This shit is over!!!

[DPG21920]

Wheels seem to be completely falling off and nothing pop does is working. They will have some serious questions this off season about which direction to go.

[skin27]

Aldridge back to sucking

[NASpurs]

Where is the leadership? Chemistry?

All I know is someone is getting paid $48 million for those supposed qualities.

[Hoops Czar]

Demar has ben a farce is entire career. I'm not sure why people are just starting to notice now.

[Collins21]

I'm sorry y'all can say the Spurs suck but hell they are getting hacked every time with no call.

[Robz4000]

Wheels seem to be completely falling off and nothing pop does is working. They will have some serious questions this off season about which direction to go.

And it was all self-inflicted. I know Nephew's actions limited the options but they still seemingly took the worst-possible package they could've for him. It really is like they didn't even scout him before the trade.

[r0drig0lac]

to be competitive defensively the Spurs can only have one of Mills, Forbes, Marco and Demar on court, two of those guys together is already a very big defensive deficit to try to overcome, it will only work in rare cases where the attack is shooting lights out

[concernedcad]

You scout him, you trade for him and you know what you're getting. It's not like it's a surprise.

True. I get why Pop didn't want to engage with the lakers but i don't understand how you do that trade after how awful Derozan and Jakob were in the playoffs. I would have demanded Siakam be included in the trade.

[Hoops Czar]

Wheels seem to be completely falling off and nothing pop does is working. They will have some serious questions this off season about which direction to go.
it's called making in game adjustments and Pop has sucked at it for quite some time.

[NASpurs]

Poeltl said he likes corn and ham on his pizza... wtf

DDR said lobster...

[Hoops Czar]

And it was all self-inflicted. I know Nephew's actions limited the options but they still seemingly took the worst-possible package they could've for him. It really is like they didn't even scout him before the trade.
If we're being truthful, Spurstalk didn't scout him either. There were reputable posters in this forum calling him an elite offensive player based off his empty, hollow stats.

[NASpurs]

Pop and the Spurs are trying to lull the Jazz into making them think this shit is over.

eddiemurphy.gif

[Robz4000]

If we're being truthful, Spurstalk didn't scout him either. There were reputable posters in this forum calling him an elite offensive player based on empty, hollow stats.

To be fair, those posters have had their heads so far up PATFO's asses they couldn't know any better.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Sean and Bill are oblivious

[007nites]

Poeltl said he likes corn and ham on his pizza... wtf

DDR said lobster...

Lobster, corn, and ham on pizza is pretty common down south no?

[Degoat]

Let’s all blame DeMar for the spurs sucking... it’s not his fault lol Pop and RC just can’t put players around him

[emanueldavidginobili]

Honestly can’t remember the last spurs game that ended and I wasn’t sober. Even if they do win somewhere in the game is just a mass amounts of fuckery happening. I wish the RRT was before the trade deadline.

[Robz4000]

Sean and Bill are oblivious

Not like they can call out the issues live. They'd lose their jobs.

[NASpurs]

Lobster, corn, and ham on pizza is pretty common down south no?

Is it?! I honestly don't know.

[RC_Drunkford]

Good that we didn't make any trades before the deadline

[emanueldavidginobili]

Honestly can’t remember the last spurs game that ended and I wasn’t sober. Even if they do win somewhere in the game is just a mass amounts of fuckery happening. I wish the RRT was before the trade deadline.

[Raven]

why do i have to watch belinelli's D...

[r0drig0lac]

Good that we didn't make any trades before the deadline

[Robz4000]

Good that we didn't make any trades before the deadline

If the Spurs manage to drop to 10th or 11th in the West by the end of the season it is.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Not like they can call out the issues live. They'd lose their jobs.
Who are they going to hire Matt Bonner and Roger Mason Jr

[Raven]

at least gasol seems to still have some reasoning on the floor..

[Raven]

good lord, beli can't even manage that... that looked like an offensive foul too..

[quentin_compson]

This is really where the game has gone crazy: Attempting a fastbreak three when your center is all alone underneath the basket for a layup.

[Degoat]

This team needs Murray and white really bad

[NASpurs]

Not like they can call out the issues live. They'd lose their jobs.

The SAEN guys don't have a fucking spine. It's not like the voices of the Spurs (Sean and Bill) are going to call out the organization. Just continue the charade and keep getting them checks fellas. :lol

[007nites]

at least gasol seems to still have some reasoning on the floor..

Mitchell nearly just almost got dunk of year on him

[quentin_compson]

Well, as bad as they are, our guys are still in this game.

[Ron Swanson]

Can we sign Frank Brickowski to replace Pau?

[emanueldavidginobili]

Mills Forbes Beli Con and Pau. Has to be one of the most unathletic 5 in the NBA

[Raven]

it's not really about athleticism. gasol manages to improve the D, just by not being a complete retard..

[DPG21920]

I hate saying it and there is still time but I’ve changed my mind; SA would be better off in the lottery. Even playing bad I don’t know if SAC & LA can jump them but it would be for the best.

It would be damning for Pop & RC and what they settled for in the Kawhi trade but that’s the past now.

[monty4329]

Another testicles-less game by DDR

[Raven]

Mitchell nearly just almost got dunk of year on him

it was great D though, mitchell somehow managed to do it because he's good.

[Degoat]

Not that it will happen but if we did start losing on purpose, what’s the best are pick could be??

[NASpurs]

Can we sign Frank Brickowski to replace Pau?

I rather have the corpse of Jack Haley than Pau.

[RD2191]

Tf is happening? Are we really about to drop 4 straight?

[NASpurs]

Here comes LMA and DDR. Watch the Jazz's lead grow.

[Raven]

This is really where the game has gone crazy: Attempting a fastbreak three when your center is all alone underneath the basket for a layup.
indeed

[Robz4000]

Not that it will happen but if we did start losing on purpose, what’s the best are pick could be??

Could still get near a top 10 pick imo.

[Chomag]

Spurs FO was sure smart standing pat...

[Hoops Czar]

I hate saying it and there is still time but I’ve changed my mind; SA would be better off in the lottery. Even playing bad I don’t know if SAC & LA can jump them but it would be for the best.

It would be damning for Pop & RC and what they settled for in the Kawhi trade but that’s the past now.
Damn, you should copy and paste this into a thread where somebody is going to see it so people aren't still calling you out.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Tf is happening? Are we really about to drop 4 straight?
Possibly 5, Jonas is making his debut. Probably goes for 25 and 20 against the Spurs.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Spurs have been a shitty road team all year, nothing new.

[Robz4000]

:lol Pop has actually Kobe'd the Spurs on his way out with his decisions the past 8 months

[Degoat]

Could still get near a top 10 pick imo.

hate to say but I’m even starting to lean in favor to tanking but I know Pop will never do that... would be sweet to get a top 10 pick

[NASpurs]

Looking at the roster for next year, DeMar has to be the odd man out. Hopefully he's one and done as a Spur and we can flip him for something.

[Chomag]

Any washed up vets Spurs could get right now per par?

[r0drig0lac]

Utah Jazz showtime

[NASpurs]

The dude had a wide open layup but made the extra pass for a 3 :lol

[Hoops Czar]

hate to say but I’m even starting to lean in favor to tanking but I know Pop will never do that... would be sweet to get a top 10 pick
They should because all they have next year to improve the team is the MLE and instead of using it to get a decent player, Patfo will split it up and sign two below average scrubs.

[GreekSpursfan]

LOL at those who voted LMA to be an all star. He's getting worse and untradeable like Depression. There is no talent here. If we make the playoffs Pop should be coach of the year and i'm not kidding. He should be worst POBO of the year as well though.

[NASpurs]

The Spurs collapse and keep giving three after three. Rinse repeat

[RD2191]

This is bad. Blow it up and rebuild worthy tbh

[Robz4000]

Looking at the roster for next year, DeMar has to be the odd man out. Hopefully he's one and done as a Spur and we can flip him for something.

Spurs will have to attach an asset or two to move him most likely. He'll be on the roster at least next year, though maybe his unhappiness with his situation here might convince him to work towards a buyout agreement.

[skin27]

Both Aldridge and derozan should have a good game for the spurs to have a chance to win

[TheGreatYacht]

It's time for the drunk faggots that run this team to pack their shit

[DPG21920]

:lol Pop has actually Kobe'd the Spurs on his way out with his decisions the past 8 months

Nah. SA has first round picks no contract over 2 years and lots of young talent.

[NASpurs]

Spurs will have to attach an asset or two to move him most likely. He'll be on the roster at least next year, though maybe his unhappiness with his situation here might convince him to work towards a buyout agreement.

If we have to give up Forbes... then so be it man. He's such a valuable asset.

[quentin_compson]

DeRozan is atrocious.

[monty4329]

I hope Pop leaves DDR in till the end. Pathetic loser...26 fucking mil a year...

[Robz4000]

Nah. SA has first round picks no contract over 2 years and lots of young talent.

Not as bad as Kirbs did the Lakers but he did slow the rebuild by three years at least by wanting to stay relevant and taking DeRozan over picks/young players with upside.

[Hoops Czar]

Nah. SA has first round picks no contract over 2 years and lots of young talent.
They have Derrick White.

[Raven]

well, game over.

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurs will have to attach an asset or two to move him most likely. He'll be on the roster at least next year, though maybe his unhappiness with his situation here might convince him to work towards a buyout agreement.
No. If Otto Porter and his shit contract can be dumped, DeRozans can.

Problem is Drunkford's ego won't do it because it'll mean he got a train ran on him and his wife by Masai

[r0drig0lac]

the guilt is all in the front office, Mills, Forbes, Marco when the team only needs one of these guys, plus Quincy and Dante who has no place in any minimally competitive roster is too dead weight in a list that already has its best defender (Murray) with injury since the start of the season

[Robz4000]

No. If Otto Porter and his shit contract can be dumped, DeRozans can.

Problem is Drunkford's ego won't do it because it'll mean he got a train ran on him and his wife by Masai

Otto Porter isn't ball dominant nor a defensive seive. He also fits today's NBA more than DeRozan ever will.

[skin27]

I missed those days were the spurs can get 7-1 record on rrt

[Chomag]

Still 6 minutes left in this onslaught damn

[monty4329]

the guilt is all in the front office, Mills, Forbes, Marco when the team only needs one of these guys, plus Quincy and Dante who has no place in any minimally competitive roster is too dead weight in a list that already has its best defender (Murray) with injury since the start of the season

The dead weight is DDR. Everything else is just a consequence of a female teenager pretending to be an NBA player.

[Degoat]

I maybe in the minority here but I don’t blame DeMar, LA, White, and Gay. It’s everybody else who just doesn’t fit, we need athletes with length So many guys on the team can’t play any defense

[r0drig0lac]

I maybe in the minority here but I don’t blame DeMar, LA, White, and Gay. It’s everybody else who just doesn’t fit, we need athletes with length So many guys on the team can’t play any defense

same here

[Hoops Czar]

I missed those days were the spurs can get 7-1 record on rrt
I miss the days where Tim Duncan made Pop look like a competent head coach rather than a political junkie in a clown suit pretending to act like he gives a flaming shit about his job.

Season feels like it can’t end soon enough just like last year. That tells me it’s time to push reset. Build around White and Murray. Stockpile picks and see what you have in Walker. The Leonard debacle completely torpedoed the franchise from elite status. A shame but it’s reality.

[NASpurs]

:lol is Murray going to stand in the corner shooting 3s next year? What's his purpose when you have White, DDR and LMA hogging the ball.

Get rid of DDR. He's an expensive square peg.

And Marco, Patty and Forbes are all the same... just one dimensional players.

Cunningham and Qunicy serve no purpose except keeping those seats warm.

[BunkoArtist]

Derozan has a player option and will definitely opt out to become a free agent in 2020, so if this organization is smart they trade him during the draft or prior to the start of the next season at the latest.

[GreekSpursfan]

At least we saw Timmy's name written in a stat so thats something, burn the rest tbh.

[Hoops Czar]

:lol is Murray going to stand in the corner shooting 3s next year? What's his purpose when you have White, DDR and LMA hogging the ball.

Get rid of DDR. He's an expensive square peg.

He's just a below average player on an awful contract. Spurstalk use to make fun of these types of players when the shoe was on the other foot.

[Quiet Strength]

I miss Gasol being injured.

When you are tanking you don't care tbh. Let him stand in the corner and launch 3's until he improves from 0% to 1%.

[Dancelot]

Looking forward to landing that lottery pick this year...and trading most of this team away.

[monty4329]

I maybe in the minority here but I don’t blame DeMar, LA, White, and Gay. It’s everybody else who just doesn’t fit, we need athletes with length So many guys on the team can’t play any defense

Nobody blames White or Gay, and LMA is having a positive season.

DDR is worse than shit, a fucking cancer. I hope he turns an ankle and stays out for the season, he makes me sick.

[NASpurs]

:lmao Sean's excuse machine is at full strength

[Spurs Homer]

damn just found out this game was on

was thinking I am going to record tonights game - thinking it would start at 730 or 830 (utah) -

it over?

Fuck

[Genovaswitness]

nice little 3 game losing streak. what cucked platitude is pop gonna deliver after the game

[Degoat]

what about those games early in the season that DeMar pretty much single handily won for us?

[Robz4000]

damn just found out this game was on

Fuck

You literally missed nothing. It was over in the middle of the second quarter.

[NASpurs]

nice little 3 game losing streak. what cucked platitude is pop gonna deliver after the game

3? Try 4 :lol

[Robz4000]

nice little 3 game losing streak. what cucked platitude is pop gonna deliver after the game

Four games now

[Spurch]

0-4 could be our worst rodeo trip in a long time

[Spurs Homer]

You literally missed nothing. It was over in the middle of the second quarter.

apparently so!

[NASpurs]

Pop keeps racking them losses to people that used to be in the organization. It's like his personal tour before he calls it quits after this year.

[monty4329]

what about those games early in the season that DeMar pretty much single handily won for us?

Which games he what? :lmao

Last year was amazing to me. They battled. Played with heart. This year? Been a mess plus no Murray was awful.

[timtonymanu]

Some of you finally saw the light lol. Been saying this team should have been tanking since the start of the year.

[Harry Callahan]

These dudes (the Spurs players) are for the most part just cashing inflated checks right now. They don't really care enough to stop the ball. Pathetic.

DeRozan is getting worse game by game. I really don't like how he has played since the first week of January.

This team needs a rebuild and the LMA/DeRozan combo will not be around when this team gets better eventually. They will be too old (LMA) or just not that good (DeRozan). It's sickening to think these two guys will make $25-$27MM each next year. They just aren't that good.

The NBA is going down the NFL route of providing a mediocre product with overpaid, soft players.

[Degoat]

Which games he what? :lmao

Any laker games ring a bell dumbass?

[Spurs2019champs]

Very disappointing , have know lost almost all faith in this team.

[RD2191]

:lol spurms this is an all time low

[SpurPadre]

This team stood pat at the deadline...

[TE]

Shitty

[GreekSpursfan]

I can't believe people don't want Pau to play. I would play him around 35 minutes a night to secure losing out and make him earn his money. In fact its good that we get to have him next season too.

[timtonymanu]

what about those games early in the season that DeMar pretty much single handily won for us?

So delusional about your cancerous DDR

[timtonymanu]

Spurstalk would be better if the Demar apologists left tbh

[timtonymanu]

:lol is Murray going to stand in the corner shooting 3s next year? What's his purpose when you have White, DDR and LMA hogging the ball.

:tu

[NASpurs]

This was the first game I've watched in like a month... and I used it mainly for background noise.

[DPG21920]

Spurs need to make a decision this off season. They traded their best asset for a win-now player. They need to go all-in to win now then.

If they aren’t willing to do that then why did you trade for DeRozan? But what’s done is done & even if they don’t want to go all in they need to admit their mistake and blow it up. Can’t have another season like this in the middle.

[timtonymanu]

:lol spurms this is an all time low

:lol I think we’re having more applicants in the tank crew tonight

[Degoat]

So delusional about your cancerous DDR

I could care less about DeMar but idiots around hear acting like he’s the reason we suck truly know nothing about basketball.

[monty4329]

Any laker games ring a bell dumbass?

So he 'won' us a game against a sub .500 team? Well that's an accomplishment we should all be grateful for. It's between him and Larry now for best wins against the Lakers.

[Harry Callahan]

This team stood pat at the deadline...

Tell me the trade that turns this around - there are too many holes at the moment. This team will likely be the 7-8th seed regardless with a quick exit. The Nephew trashed this season plain and simple. Last season too.

You could mortgage your future like the Mavericks did. They may not have any ones for the next 3-4 years. They have to sign a guy with a blown out knee to a MAX contract this summer. Brilliant. Mark Cuban and his organization always try to take a short cut and overplay their hand.

[timtonymanu]

Because he truly is one of the reasons

[Hoops Czar]

I could care less about DeMar but idiots around hear acting like he’s the reason we suck truly know nothing about basketball.
It's not DDR's fault. Even he probably knows he's overrated as shit. It's 100% Pop's fault for constructing this horrid roster.

[RD2191]

Exactly what I said the other night.

All I asked was for PATFO to make an effort in improving the team. LMA isn't 24, he's about to be 34 and that isn't the NEW 24 in the NBA. We should've maximized what will likely be LMA's last All-Star season. Instead, they've left him to rot with a deeply flawed team around him to say the least.

[MoSpur02]

The last time the Spurs were this bad was the 1996-1997. This sucks.

[Clipper Nation]

Kobe, Porker, Jamal Crawford, DeMar... why do chuckers always have the most delusional player fans?

[SpurPadre]

Porter is really worse than this shit? Mirotic is really worse than this shit? Stanley Johnson is really worse than this shit? And all Pop does is make fucking jokes about not making trades? REALLY?!

[RD2191]

Porter is really worse than this shit? Mirotic is really worse than this shit? Stanley Johnson is really worse than this shit? And all Pop does is make fucking jokes about not making trades? REALLY?!

But they're overpaid!! :cry :cry :lol snot nose spurm fans :lol

[timtonymanu]

27 million dollars to a guy getting outplayed by a second year player (essentially a rookie playing a full season)

[Chillen]

Not good to have a 4 game losing steak in the West with how the seeding is playing out. Spurs need to play better but this roster can only do so much.

I hope they hang in there and make the playoffs.

[Degoat]

Oh there’s more games hes won for us too, I just gotta dumb it down for people like you
