[DavidTheGoliath]

lebron's his daddy :lmao

kawhi's his daddy :lmao

dude's got two dads :lmao
thats pretty ghey actually

[TimDunkem]

thats pretty ghey actually

Yeah and that's our star. :lol

[timtonymanu]

Yeah and that's our star. :lol

And we might extend him. He’s such a good teammate and class act. :pop:

[TheGoatishere]

Think White needs to start

DJ would fit better with the bench imo

[r0drig0lac]

block by murray

[TimDunkem]

And we might extend him. He’s such a good teammate and class act. :pop:

More like let's save face and act like we got exactly what we wanted out of that godawful deal. Where's Poeltl by the way? :lmao

[ZeusWillJudge]

Damn nice play by DDR. Take it straight to him and use the contact. Even better when he makes the and-1

[DavidTheGoliath]

Yeah and that's our star. :lol
Im talking about LeMao and Kawhit being two dads. But whatever.

[TimDunkem]

LMAO WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT LMA :lmao

[TheRemix]

Think White needs to start

DJ would fit better with the bench imo

Klutch sports would demand a trade

[timtonymanu]

More like let's save face and act like we got exactly what we wanted out of that godawful deal. Where's Poeltl by the way? :lmao

We won that trade cause Demar fits our culture. I told you Kawhi is not a leader. :pop:

[ZeusWillJudge]

LeBron passed it to himself off the backboard. Good play by Lyles coming over and keeping him from getting it.

[Shakril]

More like let's save face and act like we got exactly what we wanted out of that godawful deal. Where's Poeltl by the way? :lmao

Played good D against LBJ, AD and Dwight. He was rewarded with the bench.

[Larry O]

LMA is MIA, SMH...

[BatManu20]

Of course we give up an ORB there

[007nites]

DeFrozen again

[TheRemix]

Sick of these lazy mid range shots

[007nites]

8 point game

[BatManu20]

Lol at D-White attempting a layup with AD right on his tail

[r0drig0lac]

no Mills + no Marco = sucess

[007nites]

make it a 6 point game

[BatManu20]

Spurs showing some fight finally. Saw none of that in the 2nd quarter. Keep attacking

[XDT76]

no Mills + no Marco = sucess

I think we will see them right after timeout

[TheRemix]

no Mills + no Marco = sucess

Yup, they're cutting it close. Amazing what having the right personnel on the court can do for the team

[FkLA]

Good to see them fight back :tu

[r0drig0lac]

finally using contact as real men, Pippen and Jordan would destroy this league and it wouldn't even be funny

[timtonymanu]

White the difference maker

[ZeusWillJudge]

Kuzma sees Patty and his eyes light up. It's a feast.

[TimDunkem]

Mills on Kuzma. That'll get ya places.

[TheRemix]

Lol patty in = instant net negative

[007nites]

Kuzma sees Patty and his eyes light up. It's a feast.

Same goes for anyone else on the court

[ZeusWillJudge]

Caruso sees Patty and his eyes light up. It's a feast!

[timtonymanu]

Mills and his “good” season making sure he shows up for the games that don’t matter and being a non factor against an actual good opponent

[Slippy]

White the difference maker

If only Pop would bench Demar who tends to dominate the ball and take DWhite away from the action

[FkLA]

Wombat giving it all back. :lol

such a great competitor though :cry

[TheRemix]

If only dejounte was on the floor

[BatManu20]

Patty used up all his makes against the warriors.

[timtonymanu]

Wombat giving it all back. :lol

such a great competitor though :cry

All that slurping people were doing on here because he lit up a G league team :lol

[Manong Ginobili]

Mills laying an egg against an actual NBA team, as usual

[TheRemix]

Not this gay

[FkLA]

Rudy needs to give that back to White.

[TheRemix]

Why do we suck in transition :lol

[BatManu20]

Rudy you stupid fuck pass the ball back to Derrick White for an easy lay up. Selfish basketball right there

[007nites]

Caruso fouled Rudy big time

[BatManu20]

Patty just too small for this Lakers team. Their length gives him so much trouble

[TimDunkem]

Ew

[ZeusWillJudge]

White selling out to get the charge on AD. Very nice defense.

[XDT76]

Oh god, I really hates this lineup. Especially when Gay goes iso and Mills goes chucker mode. It takes our most effective playmaker in the lineup out of play.

[007nites]

Poetl almost broke the backboard with that shot

[Manong Ginobili]

GAY

[r0drig0lac]

GAY!!!

[FkLA]

Good to see White finally getting the respect he deserves on defense. So many drawn charges were called blocks on him last season.

[BatManu20]

D-White carrying us defensively

[BatManu20]

Rudy redeemed himself right there for that horrendous fast break

[timtonymanu]

Good to see White finally getting the respect he deserves on defense. So many drawn charges were called blocks on him last season.

White having a better game than another spur who’s fan were quick to shit on white for his preseason struggles

[Aus10_]

Rudy!!

[spurs1990]

Rudy Gay came to play

[007nites]

GAY!

[Slippy]

DWHITE is balling on both ends. Just needs the ball more and pop needs to give extra mins


RUDY with the 3 . He's on tonight

[007nites]

On the bright side for how shit we played we are only down by 5 to start the 4th.

[sananspursfan21]

Looks like we got a game!

[r0drig0lac]

fuck mills

[timtonymanu]

This might have been a game if LaMarcus Anthony would wake up

[FkLA]

White having a better game than another spur who’s fan were quick to shit on white for his preseason struggles

He's flat out looked like the better player since like the third game of the season, tbh.

[Larry O]

DW4 is the only one with the cajones.

[sasaint]

Patty setting up the Lakers.

[XDT76]

White having a better game than another spur who’s fan were quick to shit on white for his preseason struggles

We need both to be good to win games, no point shitting on either of them.

[Ron Swanson]

Patty smh

[FkLA]

Pop drawing up a play for his pet to start the 4th Qtr :lmao

Followed by Belli running into White and demanding the ball :lmao

[ZeusWillJudge]

What a shit play by the wombat.

Oh fuck me... Beli is in too.

[BatManu20]

Get Patty out of the damn game

[XDT76]

He's flat out looked like the better player since like the third game of the season, tbh.

It seems he needs games to warm up, its the same last season. Whenever he's out, he comes back with a few meh games and then suddenly turns it on down the stretches.

[007nites]

Flagrant 2

[Ron Swanson]

Fuckin' Dwert

[r0drig0lac]

Rudy Gay is one of the few not undersized players in this team

[212094ever]

Season's over folks

[BatManu20]

Fuck Dwight Howard

[Cry Havoc]

Holy shit. Flagrant 2?

[Genovaswitness]

that's a flagrant

I like how dwight took a year off so that everyone could forget that he had a years long relationship with a transexual

[objective]

If only Pop would play his 2 best guards together, like, ever.

[daslicer]

that's a flagrant

I like how dwight took a year off so that everyone could forget that he had a years long relationship with a transexual

:lol Common foul I guess that's the perk you get when you are a Laker.

[gambit1990]

there wasn't something flagrant about that foul.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Holy shit. Flagrant 2?

Nope. Common foul. It's the fucking lakers.

[BatManu20]

Take Patty out of the fucking game Pop my god

[r0drig0lac]

dumb mills

[XDT76]

Beli and Mills got their nominal minutes, now can we get Caroll in

[Ron Swanson]

Patty :lol

[FkLA]

:lol Wombat

[timtonymanu]

But Mills is still having a “good” season

[objective]

And I bash Mills as much as the next guy, but Poeltl has been terrible on the roll. There's been what, 3 turnovers because he can't catch or pursue the ball with a purpose.

Milutinov would be doing so much better for the Spurs

[007nites]

White out lol so dumb

[FkLA]

Take Patty out of the fucking game Pop my god

Wombat has been a great player, great competitor, and great teammate for years, tbh.

[ZeusWillJudge]

there wasn't something flagrant about that foul.


Except for the follow through with the right arm while he was defenseless. The league has a specific rule about that. Maybe not a 2, but a flagrant 1.

[sasaint]

Beli and Mills got their nominal minutes, now can we get Caroll in

Nah, he just got some early minutes for a tease.

[$pursDynasty]

Too many turnovers trying to feed Jacob

[ZeusWillJudge]

Wombat has been a great player, great competitor, and great teammate for years, tbh.

Dat leadership.

[r0drig0lac]

Murray!!!

[TimDunkem]

Ugh Mills is so bad...

[sasaint]

DIJON!!!

[212094ever]

Mills is gonna give everything back

[Shakril]

Too many turnovers trying to feed Jacob

Those passes were really bad. You dont force a pass, if its not a good one.

[BatManu20]

Wombat has been a great player, great competitor, and great teammate for years, tbh.

:lol That’s great. He sucks against this Lakers team cause he’s too small and their length kills him. Get him off the court permanently tbh.

[Kurgan]

And I bash Mills as much as the next guy, but Poeltl has been terrible on the roll. There's been what, 3 turnovers because he can't catch or pursue the ball with a purpose.

Milutinov would be doing so much better for the Spurs

Yeah, Poetl's bball iq is incredibly lacking which is why I find the Splitter comparisons baffling. Splitter knew how to finish a pick and roll at the very least.

[sasaint]

Ugh Mills is so bad...

yeah, that 31 point wombat tease. So typical.

[XDT76]

Green is still trying to help us win games despite being a Lakers

[ZeusWillJudge]

Mills is gonna give everything back


I wish he could give back that 40 million in cap space.

[spurstalk123456]

Get DeRozan out there right now

[timtonymanu]

Dwight Howard is a faggot. Guess that applies in any way you want it to

[Uriel]

Why again didn't we sign Howard?

[Shakril]

Lakers playing Dwight and Ad, trying to exploit there advantage. If Pop pulls Poeltl out of the game, i am pretty sure he wants to lose this game on Purpose.

[spurs1990]

The shell of Dwight Howard looking formidable. Lakers got a coup with that signing

[007nites]

Get DeRozan out there right now

Him and LA is the reason we went down by 19 in the first place

[sananspursfan21]

Wow. I don’t recall Dwight Howard being this hatable. What a tool. He’s been irrelevant for the last decade basically and now he’s taunting and flexing like he’s something special.

[TimDunkem]

Yeah, Poetl's bball iq is incredibly lacking which is why I find the Splitter comparisons baffling. Splitter knew how to finish a pick and roll at the very least.

I miss the days when the most we could say was that Splitter had an awkward jump hook. Fucking Poeltl doesn't even know what a hookshot is.

[Shakril]

Yeah, Poetl's bball iq is incredibly lacking which is why I find the Splitter comparisons baffling. Splitter knew how to finish a pick and roll at the very least.

??? The passes were terrible. To blame it on Poeltl is plain stupid.

[Kurgan]

Get DeRozan out there right now

So he can get destroyed by Lebron for the zillionth time?

[Robz4000]

Really hope White didn't get injured. Only good thing about this season is watching him and Murray.

[gambit1990]

Except for the follow through with the right arm while he was defenseless. The league has a specific rule about that. Maybe not a 2, but a flagrant 1.
wasn't a flagrant. dwight's follow through isn't why white hit the ground like that.

[r0drig0lac]

dpoy play

[Robz4000]

:lmao Murray
:lmao this entire team at the freethrow line

[ZeusWillJudge]

I don't know who the guy was cheering the Spurs, but damn. They should send him down to eat Dwight Howard.

[BatManu20]

Lakers gonna put Lebron right back in

[007nites]

People on here saying so many empty seats but the Lakers announcers said its sold out tonight. So confused.

[TimDunkem]

??? The passes were terrible. To blame it on Poeltl is plain stupid.

They're all bad. Poeltl is a nice finisher but can't catch, and it certainly doesn't help that the Spurs have no reliable passers on the roster.

[ZeusWillJudge]

wasn't a flagrant. dwight's follow through isn't why white hit the ground like that.


LMAO. It's why he came down sideways. Gravity is the reason he hit the floor like that.

[007nites]

Murray!

[Chomag]

Would it really kill Pop to play his best players together for just a little bit?

[spurs1990]

Spurs going to mess around and win this game

[FkLA]

DJ is a gazelle in the fastbreak. If only his shot can start coming around.

[objective]

Really hope White didn't get injured. Only good thing about this season is watching him and Murray.

imagine how good it would have been to see White and Murray on the court at the same time?

A dream too good for Pop's world.

[ZeusWillJudge]

They're all bad. Poeltl is a nice finisher but can't catch, and it certainly doesn't help that the Spurs have no reliable passers on the roster.


I don't know what you're talking about specifically, but there were two passes that were absolute shit, and not Poeltl's fault. One was a complete miss, and the other one he could barely get his fingertips on.

[Shakril]

They're all bad. Poeltl is a nice finisher but can't catch, and it certainly doesn't help that the Spurs have no reliable passers on the roster.

Both turnovers right now were bad passes. Rather not make the pass. Poeltl is not spurs option to score anyway. His purpose is to defend, screen and damn do everything else what does not shine on the statssheet.

[sasaint]

Spurs going to mess around and win this game

Nah. tease is over.

[r0drig0lac]

Murray again

[spurstalk123456]

need derozan to make some clutch drives. he's been the king of the 4th this season

[Joseph Kony]

:lmao :lmao Spurs getting raped by washed up dwight howard

[BatManu20]

Spurs letting Dwight shit all over them. Unreal

[sasaint]

DJ is a gazelle in the fastbreak. If only his shot can start coming around.

His stroke on the trey looked sweet.

[FkLA]

Fucking travel...

[gambit1990]

LMAO. It's why he came down sideways. Gravity is the reason he hit the floor like that.
white's center of gravity was thrown off by howard's upper body colliding with white's waist. white was running straight and howard came from the side. dwight didn't slam him down his arm.

[Kurgan]

Would be nice to see our two best defenders play at the same time(White and DJ). Pop will continue to ignore this pairing of course.

[r0drig0lac]

:lmao :lmao Spurs getting raped by washed up dwight howard

relax, we have Poetl

[XDT76]

Would it really kill Pop to play his best players together for just a little bit?

Nope, it only takes a 5.5sec and last defensive play for that to happen.

[KDKSpurs24]

Poeltl too soft against Dwight tonight

[ZeusWillJudge]

:lmao :lmao Spurs getting raped by washed up dwight howard


That's where the Spurs need Bertans. Just to mix it up and get him to lose his head.

[objective]

Passes to Poeltl look bad because he doesn't roll hard. Receivers who stop running their routes give their quarterbacks interceptions.

[MannyIsGod]

Poetl is absolute shit right now

[Shakril]

Damn it, bad sequenz by Poeltl. .... yep and subbed out.

[r0drig0lac]

Murray is a monster

[ZeusWillJudge]

THERE'S the Murray we've been looking for!

[Ron Swanson]

Murray

[Shakril]

Passes to Poeltl look bad because he doesn't roll hard. Receivers who stop running their routes give their quarterbacks interceptions.

Wrong again. As a teammate you know the tendencies also i have not seen him stop running.

[MannyIsGod]

Holy shit what a move by DJ

[007nites]

Murray!!!

[ZeusWillJudge]

Holy shit!!! Murry going nuts on them.

[Cry Havoc]

Murray is the fucking future AND the now.

[timtonymanu]

Play white and Murray together you senile fuck

[gambit1990]

people on ST who think poeltl is basically steven adams :lol

[Slippy]

Dj balling folks. Game on

[r0drig0lac]

gawd Murray

[sasaint]

Damn the whole team with butterfingers.

[212094ever]

Get the fucking rebound!

[Cry Havoc]

MURRAY AGAIN

[FkLA]

DJ is an alpha. When his shot, handles, and passing catch up the NBA is fucked, tbh.

[Uriel]

Murray is my new favorite player.

[BatManu20]

That ORB the Spurs gave up completely fucked us. Can’t allow that to happen. Dumb.

[Joseph Kony]

:lmao :lmao spurs getting raped by literally the worst rotation player in the league

[sasaint]

Dumbmar heroballin'

[ZeusWillJudge]

white's center of gravity was thrown off by howard's upper body colliding with white's waist. white was running straight and howard came from the side. dwight didn't slam him down his arm.


You've always been an idiot. Talk to yourself about it.

[spurstalk123456]

How is murray able to penerate so easily but Derozan can't? mismatch?

[Slippy]

Is white injured. If not he should be out there for Bryn.

[Ron Swanson]

LMA and DDR just took a shit all over that possession.

[r0drig0lac]

demar is pathetic

[Robz4000]

:lmao fucking KCP putting the nails in the coffin

[timtonymanu]

That missed rebound was the game changer

[FkLA]

This KCP faggot has been butt of jokes even amongst Lakers fans but of course he does this today. :lol

[KDKSpurs24]

Our so called stars killing us!!!

[daslicer]

Really sucks how this scrub KCP always goes off on the Spurs.

[Larry O]

Too bad LMA won't remain on the bench because he's been a non factor offensively. At least JP25 has been affective on the defensive end.

[poopbox]

does anyone lose the ball more in the final 4 minutes of a game than derozan?

[MannyIsGod]

Really hard to stomach Derozan on a night like this. Hard to say that he's done anything but hurt the team tonight.

[Chomag]

Lol Pop...

[spurs1990]

Effective play by DeRozan there. Definitely didn't need to let Murray get his 16th straight point

[ZeusWillJudge]

Spurs had a chance to take a lead. Murray skied for a board, and LMA/Forbes sit on their ass and deflect it out of bounds. Momentum killed.

[FkLA]

:lol at Pop refusing to put White in alongside Murray

[Spurtacular]

This KCP faggot has been butt of jokes even amongst Lakers fans but of course he does this today. :lol

Looks like the black version of Steve Blake. That permanent dumb look on his face.

[Kurgan]

Why does Derozan think that stupid fucking move will ever work? Such a low IQ piece of shit.

[sananspursfan21]

Wow. Went from legit chance of winning to total breakdown

[BatManu20]

That’s game.

[MannyIsGod]

Too bad LMA won't remain on the bench because he's been a non factor offensively. At least JP25 has been affective on the defensive end.

Poetl has been atrocious on the defensive end what game are you watching.

[RC_Drunkford]

Lmao DeRozan is such a bitch. LeBron still living rent free in his head. Just let Murray go iso

[r0drig0lac]

jump soft aldridge

[gambit1990]

You've always been an idiot. Talk to yourself about it.
look at the replay. i know the difference between a flagrant 1 and 2. there was contact by dwight's arm but didn't warrant a flagrant.

[Slippy]

Dumbmar heroballin'

Whrn DJ or DWhite are out there. Demar needs to get the hell out of the way. It's that simple. Won't happen tho

[Robz4000]

Howard allowed to go over the back too I guess.

[MannyIsGod]

:lol at Pop refusing to put White in alongside Murray

DId he ever come back from the loker room?

[KDKSpurs24]

Why the fuck did Forbes force that contested ass 3???

[212094ever]

Getting killed by that piece of shit Howard

[TimDunkem]

Imagine if we had some athletes on the bench to bring in now and then...oh wait.

[Rosewood]

Derozan just lost the game for us :lol

[sasaint]

does anyone lose the ball more in the final 4 minutes of a game than derozan?

Fitty Mills?

[Kurgan]

Might have won this game had Pop inserted White in place of that choke artist Demar.

[Ron Swanson]

DId he ever come back from the loker room?

No, but that won't stop people from bitching about White not being on the court.

[TheAmateon]

I’d rather put my scrotum in a paper shredder than watch another minute of DeRozan heroballing and sucking at it.

[TDfan2007]

Of course KCP drops 14 on us...does he even have 14 combined points on the season?

[Shakril]

Poetl has been atrocious on the defensive end what game are you watching.

Drunk? Except for the last sequenz Poeltl was great on the defensive end. He was a big reason Spurs 2nd Unit outscored the lakers. Ad, Dwight and even LeBron had their troubles.

[Genovaswitness]

jesus fuck it wasn't even a switch that got AD on derozan. fuck this team

[timtonymanu]

Wish Demar would get traded already

[BatManu20]

Lol Rudy Gay

[FkLA]

DJ tried to will the team to a win. These fucking losers weren't having any of it though.

:lol again at Poop for refusing to play White alongside Murray

[Genovaswitness]

derrick white is getting stitches put into his vagina

[TimDunkem]

Drunk? Except for the last sequenz Poeltl was great on the defensive end. He was a big reason Spurs 2nd Unit outscored the lakers. Ad, Dwight and even LeBron had their troubles.

He literally lost Howard on 2 putback dunks. :lol

[Shakril]

I have a serious question:

Starters are playing like as if they touch the BBall for the first time. After the 2nd Unit bailed them out 2 TIMES in this game, Pop closes with the starters which in Turn lose again......

I dont understand that logic.

[Kurgan]

Wish Demar would get traded already

Wish Demar would kill himself already

[BatManu20]

Bryn has completely sucked tonight too

[FkLA]

It's very fucking possible that when DJ gets off his minutes restriction White will be sitting on the bench in crunchtime because Poop's gotta Poop smh.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Derozen on Anthony Davis. Good going pop

[Spurtacular]

Why is Calvin in San Antonio?

[007nites]

Wish Demar would kill himself already

Hey man he has depression

[BatManu20]

Wish Demar would kill himself already

Stop.

[Gibbz]

Pathetic effort tonight. Embarrassing.

[timtonymanu]

Forbes in G League mode

[Shakril]

He literally lost Howard on 2 putback dunks. :lol

First it was only one, the other he was guarding and blocking lebron.
And Dwight is a good player. Good players tend to score even against good defense.
You are only looking at the flashy stuff. Thats maybe your opinion on Poeltls play is so false.

[$pursDynasty]

Been ages since I have seen the lower bowl this full, guess the suits and corporate types like the Laker games

[ZeusWillJudge]

Looking at Lyles line. He got 4 points, and I guess it came straight out of his rebound column.

[Ditty]

Thank you Lakers for giving these casual Spurs fans a reality check that we are not a very good team.

[tbdog]

We defended well this game but damn LMA. Did he take a post shot all game? He just didn't care.

[timtonymanu]

White, Murray and gay were good. Everyone else including Pop should get a failing grade today

[Crazymaddopeyo]

Pathetic effort tonight. Embarrassing.
I mean coming back from 19 down is not a pathetic effort.

[spurs1990]

Give the keys to Murray. He should be option 1 on offense in place of DeRozan.

[sasaint]

Bryn has completely sucked tonight too

Yep, bad shooting game. But the whole team was icy most of the night - except D&D and Rudy.

[TDfan2007]

Good news: we've been competitive against arguably the 2 best teams in the West

Bad news: DeRozan and Aldridge are our "stars," so this is pretty much our ceiling until White and Murray break out

[TimDunkem]

I mean coming back from 19 down is not a pathetic effort.

The starters with the exception of Murray were pretty damn pathetic.

[cjw]

How many plays did Poeltl fumble away? He looked like Jeff Ayres out there. Defensively he looked pretty bad too.

[MannyIsGod]

On one hand, if the Lakers get contributions like this from KCP and Howard they're probably the best team in the league or at least equal with the Clippers. On the other hand, DeRozan is holding this team back and Pop's rotations make no god damn sense to me.

This Spurs team has the potential to be really good but I'm not sure there's any hope for them to reach their ceiling with the current rotation. There may be no hope of making a role where DeMar does well and doesn't hold back the youth. He should be on the bench, not White.

[daslicer]

For me this season all about watching White/Murray's development. Both played fearless along with a lot of effort tonight.

[objective]

Aldridge, Forbes, DeRozan = 11/38

Marco and Mills = 2/10

Only real players were White, Murray and Gay.

And Pop only lets two of those guys on the court at the same time. Too competitive.

[timtonymanu]

Thank you Lakers for giving these casual Spurs fans a reality check that we are not a very good team.

Think PATFO needs way more convincing of that than the fans at this point

[swrowe78]

I mean, we put up a fight.

[TheRemix]

Is there a reason why white and dejounte can't be on the court at the same time? But pop will trot out beli-mills. It's like he's throwing games.

[tim_duncan_fan]

We are not quite talented enough.

Too many of our guys are too likely to just randumbly bumble the basketball out of bounds or miss open shots, wasting possessions in tight games.

We're gonna win some games though. And be out the 2nd round.

[MannyIsGod]

Looking at Lyles line. He got 4 points, and I guess it came straight out of his rebound column.

He was fine. He got a fast break dunk off a nice pass from Murray and he hit a jumper. I thought his D was solid. Probably deserved more minutes.

[RC_Drunkford]

DeRozan and Aldridge been stinking it up lately

[RD2191]

Same ol spurms. Beating up on scrubs while shitting the bed against contenders. Bum ass team. :lol

[BillMc]

Sucks that we lost but was a fairly entertaining game.

Apparently this is the youngest team of the Pop era. Which is a good sign as we can almost hang with the loaded Clippers and Lakers. Not sure LMA and DeRozan will be around, but team could have a bright future.

[sasaint]

It's very fucking possible that when DJ gets off his minutes restriction White will be sitting on the bench in crunchtime because Poop's gotta Poop smh.

That looks like the big question. Too weird, but who knows.

[Slippy]

When Demar is off he hurts the team in so many ways.

Look deeper he impedes the development of the spurs youth. Those guys are missing out on reps because Demar has to dominate the ball.

Rince and repeat. We will have this convo often this season.

[tim_duncan_fan]

DeRozan and Aldridge been stinking it up lately

Just taking dumps on the court tonight.

[Mugen]

Love games where Derozan, LMA, Beli, Mills, Lyles and post 2014 Pop get exposed for the losers they are.

The closer we can get to Dejounte, White, Lonnie + a new coach, the better for this organization.

Need a few more til Pop has no choice but to play those 3 guys, at least I hope since the old fuck is so beyond caring at this point :lol

On one hand, if the Lakers get contributions like this from KCP and Howard they're probably the best team in the league or at least equal with the Clippers. On the other hand, DeRozan is holding this team back and Pop's rotations make no god damn sense to me.

This Spurs team has the potential to be really good but I'm not sure there's any hope for them to reach their ceiling with the current rotation. There may be no hope of making a role where DeMar does well and doesn't hold back the youth. He should be on the bench, not White.


Having a couple of legit stars on a team lets the role players play a lot looser. That's just fact. Those guys don't have to bail out DDR and Aldridge.
