[NASpurs]

When Quincy Pondexter is the featured Spur for tonight's game. Dark times.


Everyone’s available. Still, a 1-7 RRT likely incoming tbh.

And that one win was a one point win against a shitty Grizzlies team who have lost to the Bulls and Cavs since.

[TheGoatishere]

I’m done for the year if they lose

[JeffDuncan]

Gazing into the crystal ball I foresee.....

A moral victory!

[Genovaswitness]

Everyone’s available. Still, a 1-7 RRT likely incoming tbh.

my god how far this franchise has fallen

[BillMc]

We finally get a win

[Joseph Kony]

I’m done for the year if they lose
:lol what could possibly change your view on the team tonight? how was yesterday not rock bottom? the nets are a much better team, so not sure how losing to the nets means youre done for the year but losing to the knicks is fine

[Strategic]

Trap game for the nets. Spurs should win one.

[Spurs fever]

The Spurs Twitter team is trash.

[TheGoatishere]

:lol what could possibly change your view on the team tonight? how was yesterday not rock bottom? the nets are a much better team, so not sure how losing to the nets means youre done for the year but losing to the knicks is fine

It will show that this team has zero pride and they flat out deserve to lose every game for the rest of the year .

You have no chance to bounce back after a lost like last night.

[GreekSpursfan]

I predict Jarrett Alen will grab over 5 offensive rebounds in this game.

[phxspurfan]

At 33-28 (.541), our heroes are currently on pace for a 43-45 win season based on that win rate. And that's if they perform up to the barely-over-.500 ways the rest of the season, and not continue to lose like they've started the RRT, at 1-6.



12 remaining homes games of the remaining 21 games left on the regular season schedule.

Extrapolating based on the current home/away split percentages (basically if nothing crazy happens good or bad):

22-7 at home = Spurs win 76% of home games, 12 remaining home games => Spurs will win ~ 9 of those and lose 3

11-21 on the road = Spurs win 34% of road games, 9 remaining road games => Spurs will win ~ 3 of those and lose 6

Final record: 45-37

[gambit1990]

tbh, i wouldn’t be surprised if the spurs won... a lot of good that’ll do :rolleyes



go nets!

[bklynspursfan]

Current view. Predicting an upset tonight

[slick'81]

If the spurs get stomped then sound the alarms. I atleast think the spurs will compete

[RD2191]

What a fucking shitshow the rrt has been.

[spurraider21]

Spurs by 20+ tbh

[Mugen]

Current view. Predicting an upset tonight

http://i63.tinypic.com/15p1w61.jpg

Enjoy my nig, hopefully the team keeps it within single digits before getting their ass blown out halfway through the 4th tbh

[Chillen]

If Spurs lose tonight the next game they should show up with jerseys saying "were trying to help the Lakers get a playoff spot by sucking".

Play some defense guys. Go Spurs Go.

[r0drig0lac]

Nets is a more talented team, better trained, more athletic and play at home, if spurs win tonight would be a good surprise, especially with the way they've been playing., we will see...

[Rusty]

D-Lo dropping 30 in this bum ass team

[bklynspursfan]

Enjoy my nig, hopefully the team keeps it within single digits before getting their ass blown out halfway through the 4th tbh

Appreciate it. My hope was they got the shit performance out the way last night. And tonight is them playing with a purpose tonight. Long shot but we'll see

[emanueldavidginobili]

It’s going to be a tough game. D-Lo has been going off this year had 40 the other night. LeVert is also back. Pau better not see the floor.

[RD2191]

D-Lo dropping 30 in this bum ass team

:lol tbh

[r0drig0lac]

this Forbes scrub continues as starter

[emanueldavidginobili]

Richard Jefferson calling the game :rollin

[r0drig0lac]

Russell having fun out there

[emanueldavidginobili]

Can’t even play Zone correctly

[NASpurs]

Davis is always around smiling to the camera on someone’s poster

[emanueldavidginobili]

Russell having fun out there
everyone has fun verse the spurs. It’s a chance to pad your stats

[NASpurs]

crofl Davis

[NASpurs]

Another opponent fattening up on 3s

Wait, they’re just 3/10 from 3? Feels worse

[r0drig0lac]

zone? wtf

[Robz4000]

Spurs refuse to defend the three point line.

[NASpurs]

:lmao

Theyre going to attempt 50 3s by the end of this

[Degoat]

That zone could work with white on the floor but not with patty and belly lol!

[TheGreatYacht]

Messina needs to be deported once they leave that sanctuary city

[YoungbuckMurray]

Well the zone isn’t working lol, giving up easy corner 3’s. And we’ve attempted 1 three so far and it was the Centre

[Alfo21]

:lmao

Theyre going to attempt 50 3s by the end of this

Nope. They will MAKE 50 3s with our shitty zone defense lol.

[Rusty]

Messina needs to be deported once they leave that sanctuary city
:lol

[NASpurs]

Messina needs to be deported once they leave that sanctuary city

I wouldn’t mind adding some players to the deportation list.

[hater]

:lmao why are these retards playing zone vs the Nets :lmao

[r0drig0lac]

mills forbes and marco...Pop just joking with spurstalk

[ZeusWillJudge]

Held 'em under 30. Yeah baby!

[YoungbuckMurray]

Please put Rudy back with the starters and Bertans with bench

[RC_Drunkford]

Let's be grateful that the Spurs didn't make a trade and kept high character players like Pondexter and Pau Gasol

[YoungbuckMurray]

Can someone make even a layup

[NASpurs]

Holy fuck, when those 3s don’t go in for the Nets. Fucking ugly.

[Leetonidas]

Just got home so haven't got to watch but how tf is Bertans starting and played 10 mins but box score shows he hasn't attempted a single shot???

[emanueldavidginobili]

26 points hahaha

[YoungbuckMurray]

Demar gets literally no calls

[hater]

:lmao Nets just went 0-8 jacking up 3s and we still down by 11 :lmao

[ZeusWillJudge]

everyone has fun verse the spurs. It’s a chance to pad your stats


People say that Pop doesn't develop players. He makes stars out of everybody they play.

[r0drig0lac]

Demar....

[SuperCam]

Spurms are the bottom ass of the league now smh

[$pursDynasty]

LMAlpha heating up

[ZeusWillJudge]

Just got home so haven't got to watch but how tf is Bertans starting and played 10 mins but box score shows he hasn't attempted a single shot???


HOTS. Nets locking him down.

[Slippy]

Spurs are defending better. Helps they just keep jacking up threes.

Seeing less of Demar dominating the ball. LA rolling now.

[Slippy]

White to Aldridge. Beautiful. Found him open a few times

[Leetonidas]

Just like that spurs down 12 now

[YoungbuckMurray]

The bench has been absolute garbage

[Leetonidas]

Lol demar didn't even touch him. Two free throws plus a technical

[ZeusWillJudge]

White to Aldridge. Beautiful. Found him open a few times

:pop:
"Time to pull him out and put in Mills."

[$pursDynasty]

LMA hits 3 straight and then doesn't touch the ball 4 straight possessions smh

[Slippy]

10nil run back the other way just as white out. Stopped going to la

[Arcadian]

:lol this team sucks ass

[Leetonidas]

Pop is such a faggot. How do you seriously expect to win taking 9 three point attempts in a half in an nba game in 2019

[ceperez]

Pathetic.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Haha our shooters blow tonight

[BatManu20]

38-point half :rollin

[r0drig0lac]

I like how no matter what Mills does, he simply has no physical ability to defend at nba level, players simply play bully-ball for easy baskets or shoot over him

[Ragamuffin]

all fixed dont believe how bad play spurs...

[$pursDynasty]

Just feed LMA the entire 2nd half, only way to win

[timtonymanu]

Let's go Nets!

[NASpurs]

3 is more than 2 especially when you attempt 28 for the half.

[timtonymanu]

Pop is such a faggot. How do you seriously expect to win taking 9 three point attempts in a half in an nba game in 2019

:pop: but then we wouldn't be playing basketball the right way

[GreekSpursfan]

Do we really have 3pt shooters? Outside of Davis, who's pretty terrible lately, who's a sniper on this team? The answer is no one. Our best players are... i dont want to talk about them. Our major problem is, was, will be DEFENSE. Fuck points per game tbh.

[bklynspursfan]

I like how no matter what Mills does, he simply has no physical ability to defend at nba level, players simply play bully-ball for easy baskets or shoot over him

Except Kawhi

[spurs10]

Ever since the Spurs changed their theme song from Queen's "We Are The Champions" to Beck's "Loser" things have gone to hell. :wtf

[bklynspursfan]

Bertans/Forbes/Mills, anyone. Someone has to hit some dam 3's

[RC_Drunkford]

LMA hits 3 straight and then doesn't touch the ball 4 straight possessions smh

That has been a Spurs tradition ever since he signed here

[NASpurs]

:lmao this shit is over

[emanueldavidginobili]

Yeah no one can stay in front of their man that’s why they’re playing zone but you just can’t get away with it in the NBA especially every possession.

[loveforthegame]

RRT cannot end fast enough.

[skin27]

Goodbye playoffs

[Slippy]

Nets with easy threes to start off 2nd half.

First three Harris simply jumped over Bryn.

Second three Davis daring Grayham to shoot it instead of rotating quicker or running on to him.

Just too easy

[SuperCam]

Poop spending his last years getting bukkakd by nba bottom feeders :lol

[r0drig0lac]

rape

[NASpurs]

Our 3 point “specialists “ :lol

[GreekSpursfan]

Poor White, can't get more shameful than that. Zero athleticism on this team.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Do we really have 3pt shooters? Outside of Davis, who's pretty terrible lately, who's a sniper on this team? The answer is no one. Our best players are... i dont want to talk about them. Our major problem is, was, will be DEFENSE. Fuck points per game tbh.


That's sort of a hard sell, when they only score 38 points in the half. The would have to play some hellacious defense.

Greeks have gone to Hades lately.

[timtonymanu]

Looking good for the Nets.

[r0drig0lac]

best 3pt shooting team in the league my ass

[NASpurs]

:lmao

[BlackAndWhite]

Thorough and absolute emasculation

[BatManu20]

D’Angelo showing off against us like it’s the And-1 Mixtape Tour

[Slippy]

Finally hit a three and spurs are matching it on three point attempts. 20 point margin now

[r0drig0lac]

funny how spurstalk would be laughing at players like Russell when Duncan, Manu, Parker and Kawhi were carrying this team

[gambit1990]

liking the score :tu

[timtonymanu]

liking the score :tu

Getting closer to that lottery

[RD2191]

This is getting uglier than Blake divorce.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Missing every single shot

[RD2191]

D’Angelo showing off against us like it’s the And-1 Mixtape Tour

Do you remember And 1 shoes? I had a pair. :lol

[timtonymanu]

PATFO is stupid if they think Murray alone will turn this team around next year

[BatManu20]

Jesus it’s just brick after brick after brick

[YoungbuckMurray]

Literally missing open 3’s and 2 foot layups ridiculous

[SuperCam]

rock bottom as a franchise. maybe the worst 5 year forecast in the league since there wont be any big time draft picks to help.

hasn't been this much disarray since the 87 season.

[Slippy]

Aldridge on rim protection has been a beast. Pity it's been waste of energy.

Spurs shooters can't buy a basket.

[NASpurs]

PATFO is stupid if they think Murray alone will turn this team around next year

That's what I'm saying. I would accept the argument that Kawhi fucked this whole thing up but putting this shitshow on Murray's absence is just asinine.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Anyone here who thinks the Spurs would have a shot against the Nuggets are sick in the head.

[ZeusWillJudge]

PATFO is stupid

FIFY

[BatManu20]

Do you remember And 1 shoes? I had a pair. :lol

Of course. Used to rock these with pride and thought I was hot shit for having em :lol


https://i.pinimg.com/originals/28/ce/e4/28cee450de9ececb5fd97f9d156c7ff4.jpg

[loveforthegame]

PATFO salivating at those loyalty contracts they’ll hand out this summer.

[YoungbuckMurray]

You seriously couldn’t get that rebound belinelli. Bench him now

[Robz4000]

Anyone here who thinks the Spurs would have a shot against the Nuggets are sick in the head.

Spurs would struggle to beat Phoenix in a series right now.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Ole!!!

:lmao muh nigga :toast

[NASpurs]

Our vets Patty and Beli showing how it's done. Can't even make a fucking pass.

[timtonymanu]

:pop: but 3 point shots are not basketball.

[r0drig0lac]

forbes scrub sucks so bad

[timtonymanu]

Our vets Patty and Beli showing how it's done. Can't even make a fucking pass.

I never understood why Patty's corporate knowledge was so talked up when he's such a low IQ player on the court.

[GreekSpursfan]

That's sort of a hard sell, when they only score 38 points in the half. The would have to play some hellacious defense.

Greeks have gone to Hades lately.

What the Spurs best players tend to do and what they are worst at? When your best players have the ball on their hands the most what do you think is going to happen, 2 POINTERS. LMA, Derozan, Gay, even White isn't good on 3pt shots. You think Pop tells them don't shoot 3pts. Thats who they are. There is no talent here, only perennial losers, this team is overachieving imo.

[YoungbuckMurray]

One of the worst shooting performances I’ve ever seen

[emanueldavidginobili]

Just the fact that Bryn Forbes is starting on a NBA team is absolutely comical.

[timtonymanu]

We finally get a win

Oh Bill you're so optimistic

[YoungbuckMurray]

Fatty airball mills

[Slippy]

Forbes is leading the shooting brigade. Terrible

[Alfo21]

Watching these wide open 3pt attempts hurts more than a dagger on the heart. OMG.

[spursistan]

rock bottom as a franchise. maybe the worst 5 year forecast in the league since there wont be any big time draft picks to help.

hasn't been this much disarray since the 87 season.

Pretty much this..By refusing to tank to replenish their talent, Pop is is pulling a coach version of Kirby retirement tour leaving the franchise in deep shits when all it's said and done..

[RD2191]

The lack of talent and low draft picks have finally caught up to the Spurs. Not to mention horrible roster construction. It's time for new blood, including the head coach. Hell maybe a hungry GM would be nice too.

[RD2191]

Like you could possibly even know that.

[r0drig0lac]

I never understood why Patty's corporate knowledge was so talked up when he's such a low IQ player on the court.
because people can not reason for themselves, so they just repeat what they hear as a mantra

[RD2191]

Watching these wide open 3pt attempts hurts more than a dagger on the heart. OMG.


Like you could possibly even know that.

[YoungbuckMurray]

They’ve actually played good defense but have missed so many shots there gonna lose by 20+

[Leetonidas]

And to think spurs were 10 games over .500 not too long ago

[NASpurs]

Lakers and Kings are losing at the half. Watch our fucking team limp into an 8th seed ass raping.

[ZeusWillJudge]

It hasn't been that long since the Spurs were leading the league in 3P%. They didn't shoot a lot, but they were knocking them down.

This team has checked out. But you're right about the D.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Would have been nice to put Rudy in sooner than the 4 minute mark

[ZeusWillJudge]

Lakers and Kings are losing at the half. Watch our fucking team limp into an 8th seed ass raping.

"At least the streak will be intact."

[Leetonidas]

I wish this team would just embrace the tank. At least I could enjoy watching them lose if they had young talent and were building and gaining experience. This is just sad for a team of veterans

[timtonymanu]

Pretty much this..By refusing to tank to replenish their talent, Pop is is pulling a coach version of Kirby retirement tour leaving the franchise in deep shits when all it's said and done..

I'm lowkey happy it came back and bit them in the ass. I know Pop went through some sad shit in his real life, but he really should have just stayed away this entire season and retired with Manu. Pop the coach is a very unlikeable person.

[RD2191]

1999 role reversal, we're going to the finals as the 8th seed. :lol :flag:

[hater]

ever since spurstalk owners fucked up the homepage with shitty web design and articles we been losing bad

[GreekSpursfan]

14% from 3 but lets shoot more. TANK PLEASE

[NASpurs]

The other team is shooting 43% and has only shot 3 more free throws yet we're losing by 20. Gee I wonder why.

[ElNono]

:lol so glad I didn't go to this shit show

[timtonymanu]

Would we even win a game in Cleveland at this point? :lol

Just make your 3's against the Spurs and you'll win. Cause we know :pop: is too good for the 3 point shot. :rolleyes

[KDKSpurs24]

Fuck it.. just bring Walker and Huestis to the team and live with that for the remainder of the season. Oh yeah and stop playing Forbes in the process!

[GreekSpursfan]

Derozan bball IQ is below zero

[TDMVPDPOY]

lol patty still on the team due to fkn culture... get rid of him

[YoungbuckMurray]

Dear Forbes- stop shooting

[Alfo21]

This could be the worst 3 point shooting performance of NBA history. Just unbelievably bad.

[Degoat]

So who gets the blame for this game?? DeMar? LA? Gay? Pop? Whos the new cancer

[timtonymanu]

So who gets the blame for this game?? DeMar? LA? Gay? Pop? Whos the new cancer

For the entire season:

Pop
Demar
Patty Mills/Bryn Forbes
Gasol

[Hoops Czar]

Matty Bertans with another 28 minutes 2 point affair. White trash!

[NASpurs]

For the entire season:

Pop
Demar
Patty Mills/Bryn Forbes
Gasol

RC

[timtonymanu]

Wish Grizzlies didn't lose that game to us. Would have been hilarious to have a winless RRT

[YoungbuckMurray]

So who gets the blame for this game?? DeMar? LA? Gay? Pop? Whos the new cancer

Should be belli, Bertans, Forbes, mills. They have had a despicable shooting night, if they shot competantly we prob win tonight

[$pursDynasty]

Still got a chance in game, White hits a 3 :pop: let's take him out for cold as ice Mills who can't play a lick of defense

[NASpurs]

Please don't choke Nets. I don't want to play the Ws in the first round.

[$pursDynasty]

Who is suprised they scored on Mills?

[GreekSpursfan]

Lets hope this RRT is the start of a beautiful last moment tank.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Make a shot my lord

[KDKSpurs24]

Why tf does Bertans continue to take those type of midrange shots as if he’s good at them...?

[$pursDynasty]

Make Patty play with the trash lineup he deserves it

[Slippy]

Patty played some great defense there but it didn't matter. Nets shooter simply jump over him.

[spursistan]

Just the chickens coming home to roost for this franchise after three disastrous off-seasons..

[NASpurs]

I just want to know the direction of this team. I don't see it and it pisses me off as a fan.

[timtonymanu]

I just want to know the direction of this team. I don't see it and it pisses me off as a fan.

Been thinking this for a while now too and homers on here had the nerve to call us bad fans for seeing it like it is :rolleyes.

The Murray being out excuse shouldn't even apply here anymore. He's not LeBron or KD. This team would have been barely better with him healthy.

[Degoat]

It’s all for naught guys, the warriors are gonna roll through the playoffs. And then More super teams will form this offseason. Just enjoy guys like White improving when we can

[Larry O]

Geez! This team can't hit a bucket and score at point blank, SMH...

[Hoops Czar]

Bertans last two games 55 minutes 2-9 FG 6 points.

[$pursDynasty]

lol patty still on the team due to fkn culture... get rid of him
THIS!

[paperboy77]

WTF? Even bad teams aren't this bad.

The System is so antiquated and predictable now. It's just sad. Also, and I've always said it, I hate this whole .... "they lead the league in not fouling". That shit works when you have athletes that can recover on D. Someone like Corey Brewer or anyone not on the spurs roster. If your coaches philosophy is that "we don't put people on the line" it's going to be very difficult to stop anyone. If we aren't going to exploit our greatest strength which is 3P%, we might as well go all the way to 90's basketball or at least grit and grind. Nobody fears our soft ass team. Teams have scouted us and the word is out to just shoot like no one was in front of you because they are nonathletic AND Pop don't let them get physical... so just shoot like it's a coach holding a broom in front. Easy money.

I'm just so frustrated with this squad and FO. We have nothing left it seems. White really is our best player if you ask me. That kid IS special and imagine him on a good Spurs team or another good team. Also, Rudy Gay, although one of the better Spurs seems to be aging by the game. Also, Metu sux. Now that one i don't get. He did have good mobility and good hands in SL but so far that dude is ultra-raw and a total project.

I hate tanking especially now that it's too late but damn!!! Just sad!!!!!

Spurs should say fuckit and roll with:

White
Lonny
? (DeFrozen i guess)
Bertans
LA

See what the fuck happens. Can't be any worse.

[lefty]

Derozan bball IQ is below zero
« Better than Kawhi »

[cjw]

Glad the supporting cast decided to show up. Nothing was going down.

White Forbes Beli Mills Bertans Poeltl ... 8 for 50


DDR Aldridge Gay ... 26 for 44

[BackHome]

Man we need to get taller more athletic better shooters and better defender

[ceperez]

Bertans last two games 55 minutes 2-9 FG 6 points.

The way Pop has set it up, Bertans only shoots when he is open. Now that everybody knows that he's a good shooter, they never leave him open. Even worse, nobody tries to find him when he is open!

The team just plain sucks big time!!

[Arcadian]

Worst RRT of all time?

[Russ]

The Spurs are 10-48 from three in the last two games.

That's 20.8%. Impossible to win on the road shooting that % from three.

[Hoops Czar]

Derozan bball IQ is below zero
Hey, remember when D Russell was an overrated scrub that nobody wanted? Lol, maybe it's Spurstalk's IQ that should be questioned.

[ceperez]

The Spurs are 10-48 from three in the last two games.

That's 20.8%. Impossible to win on the road shooting that % from three.

Did you see where the Nets where shooting their 3's from, like 28 feet from the basket. They chucked 50 shots versus the Spurs 24. They were just playing the precentages and blew us out in the process!

[Hoops Czar]

The Spurs are 10-48 from three in the last two games.

That's 20.8%. Impossible to win on the road shooting that % from three.

That's why the Spurs don't shoot three's that often. You have to at least give the impression that you're good at something.

[Killakobe81]

Hey, remember when D Russell was an overrated scrub that nobody wanted? Lol, maybe it's Spurstalk's IQ that should be questioned.

I remember those days ...
glad I knew better than Spurstalk but apparently i know better than Magic too ...lol

[cjw]

That's why the Spurs don't shoot three's that often. You have to at least give the impression that you're good at something.

They’re the best 3pt shooting team in the league by 2%. Yes they’re picky on how much they shoot (only Clippers have shot less).

[BillMc]

Oh Bill you're so optimistic
Not my greatest moment, I admit. :(

[timtonymanu]

Not my greatest moment, I admit. :(

It’s all good. We need some optimism on here and you’ve always been one of the good ones. I just can’t bring myself to defend this team right now with their current state and attitude.

[Uriel]

[Russ]

"They keep tryin," says Pop, "they keep tryin."

That could be the phrase that comes to sum up the season, or perhaps even a rallying cry.

[timtonymanu]

People on Twitter even saying Pop needs to retire. :lol for his sake, I hope he does. He looks too stressed out and should honestly just step away and be with his family.

[NASpurs]

A month and a few weeks for this shit show to end. Can't wait.

[timtonymanu]

A month and a few weeks for this shit show to end. Can't wait.

Let’s just hope Kings/lakers/clippers overtake us sooner than later.

[SouthTexasRancher]

One thing that keeps sticking out like a sore thumb is the angry, arrogant, old fart, Pop never takes any of the blame himself even though it is him who determines the lineup, the substitutions, the minutes, who sits out the game, etc. And he has had some atrocious lineups in general. Pop and RC are the two who are responsible for who is in our lineup and how much they get paid. They seem to think giving an old, washed up guy like Gasol $16,000,000.00 per season instead of trying to get a decent 3 and D is the way to go. Or a legit Point Guard. At tonight's post game presser he was somewhat apologetic about how he acted like a spoiled brat last night in NYC. Maybe he received a call from back home. The way he treats reporters who are just doing their job and who probably make less in one year than Pop makes per game. If anyone needs a definition of an asshole just look it up online and you'll see a picture of a senile, old, angry Pop. You are out of touch, Pop. And you seriously need to get over yourself. You've allowed everything to go to your head. And when talking to reporters try to act older than a 5 year old even though that is where your personality is these days. In other words, Pop, grow the hell up!

[NASpurs]

Let’s just hope Kings/lakers/clippers overtake us sooner than later.

Fuck I forgot about that. Way to ruin it :lol

Worst RRT of all time?


Do u have to ask :lmao

[Slippy]

Did you see where the Nets where shooting their 3's from, like 28 feet from the basket. They chucked 50 shots versus the Spurs 24. They were just playing the precentages and blew us out in the process!

The spurs played from behind double digits almost the whole game. They played their most inspired ball of the game up until the 2min mark of the second where they got it down to 40-36. The defense held strong and LA with the help of White pounded the ball inside. Then with 2min to go, white gets benched for Patty, they stopped going inside to LA and Spurs finish the half down 52to 38.

The point being its a game of runs and this Spurs team playing at its pace of inside out is at its best . The third was perfect example of what happens when the Spurs match opponents shooting threes. Game became a blowout of over 20. Defense at that frenetic pace takes a massive hit since the spurs are defensive challenged individually (too short or unathletic) , team d has no time to set up and they cant match it with shooting ability.

Thank you Memphis and Tpups. You guys forgwt the rest of the west sucks too...

Hey, remember when D Russell was an overrated scrub that nobody wanted? Lol, maybe it's Spurstalk's IQ that should be questioned.

I still think he's overrated and he's not an all star but nobody said he's a scrub. If you think D.Russell is a max player thats gonna lead you to anything then i question Spurstalk IQ as well.

One thing that keeps sticking out like a sore thumb is the angry, arrogant, old fart, Pop never takes any of the blame himself even though it is him who determines the lineup, the substitutions, the minutes, who sits out the game, etc. And he has had some atrocious lineups in general. Pop and RC are the two who are responsible for who is in our lineup and how much they get paid. They seem to think giving an old, washed up guy like Gasol $16,000,000.00 per season instead of trying to get a decent 3 and D is the way to go. Or a legit Point Guard. At tonight's post game presser he was somewhat apologetic about how he acted like a spoiled brat last night in NYC. Maybe he received a call from back home. The way he treats reporters who are just doing their job and who probably make less in one year than Pop makes per game. If anyone needs a definition of an asshole just look it up online and you'll see a picture of a senile, old, angry Pop. You are out of touch, Pop. And you seriously need to get over yourself. You've allowed everything to go to your head. And when talking to reporters try to act older than a 5 year old even though that is where your personality is these days. In other words, Pop, grow the hell up!

:tu Well said. He always had that mantra of wanting players to get over themselves but he has the biggest, most fragile ego of all those guys. He got away with it in the past cause the team was still a contender and he could hide behind the Big 3 and Kawhi and the media would eat that shit up and say “that’s why Pop is the GOAT.” Now that he has to face humility, he’s still arrogant with reporters and now it’s just obnoxious and disgusting. Like you’re paid to coach this team and you’re doing a bad job at it.

Spurs are going to somehow tank their way INTO the playoffs?!! I hate that La sucks so bad that they will cost SA a shot at the lottery.

[spurs10]

Worst RRT of all time? Easily.......1-8. That's a lot of losing in a month.

[rasuo214]

The good news is that it looks like Derozan isn't going through another post-Raptors game slump.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Cause the lottery guarantees you a good draft pick and success? Sheesh...

[slick'81]

Is this success to you?

[timtonymanu]

Yeah make the playoffs so the Warriors can make fun of our defense with their 3s scoring 120 points a game and showing off to the fans. I'm confident Denver would easily beat us too. Teams already figured out how to beat the Spurs.

[r0drig0lac]

Man we need to get taller more athletic better shooters and better defender

since 2016....

he would easily be the best player in the spurs roster (yes, much better than spur Doncic, Derrick White)

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs were only athletic for one year and they made the WCF that year. Then they went on to trade 2 of their most athletic players in Dedmon and Simmons and extended Gasol and Mills. The franchise went to shit right there and a lot of us knew it.

Understanding and accepting you cannot win it every year yes is success. This mindset of win it all or what's the point is ridiculous. You rather be a bottom feeder for years and winning 20 games and then have one good run or consistent levels of competition?

When Pop leaves I think some of you are in for a massive shock. So quick to blame and think that the instant answer is right there and waiting. If it was wouldn't every team do it? Oh just trade everyone for young awesome players! So easy why didn't they think about that??

You guys are brilliant here. I'm shocked everyday how no one is a head coach or gm. I think your talents are wasting away here. I'm sure some of you will be on the short list when Pop is being replaced. I hear there might be an opening in New England. Anyone applying?

[callo1]

I rarely post after a disappointing loss like the last two nights, but ouch, those games did look awful. The inability for this team to get stops when they need them has been glaring pretty much all year.

LaMarcus played good, but the shooters gave them zero chance of victory. Marco's rythm was totally broken by the Allstar break.

Does the Spurs defensive philosophy of forcing drivers baseline essentially make the defense broken in today's 3 point heavy league, or is the defense just that bad?

Is Pop's attempt to use zone like waving the white flag?

All I know is that it seems like every no name player in the league has career nights against this team.

As bad as the defense is, remove White from the floor and it is practically unwatchable.

Maybe getting back home will get the shooters back on track, but that defense:(

[Rusty]

Watching the Magic VS Knicks game now. How the hell did the Spurs lose to the Knicks??:lol

[Arcadian]

How are we still in the top 8? That shouldn't be possible after going 1-7 :lol
