Game Thread: Spurs @ Hawks - Nov. 5, 2019 @ 6:30 CST

[tim_duncan_fan]

Fuck. He hit a 3. That means extra PT for Belli.

Even if he didn't hes going to play. Pop HATES Lonnie.

[james evans]

These Mfers aren’t missing from 3

[Mugen]

We just saw the nail in the Lonnie coffin this year with those Beli shots. Fucking sad man.

[Leetonidas]

Demar chucking and missing per par :vomit:

[timtonymanu]

I’m not fooled by those Beli buckets. He’s still gonna lose us games with his minutes

[Chomag]

Old man gonna put us away lol

[Mugen]

Let's go Hawks!

[ZeusWillJudge]

Carter kickes Beli and gets a whistle?

[NASpurs]

:lol preaches defense but plays a trio of the worst defenders on the team at the same time (DDR, Beli, Forbes). Stop the bleeding old man.

[raybies]

beli giveth and taketh away.... murray with a to

[Darius Bieber]

Lol losing to the Hawks.. this team is pure trash

[Genovaswitness]

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

you can always count on the retard crew to choke. up 8 points in the 4th at one point :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[tim_duncan_fan]

Trade everyone.

[sananspursfan21]

And here comes the collapse. Wow.

[timtonymanu]

Take this home, Atlanta. Done rooting for this arrogant coach

[sananspursfan21]

Just stupid plays. Our guys were better the first 3 games tbh

[TheRemix]

Fuck pop

[raybies]

some won't admit it but the Hawks momentum started when Lonnie entered the game... it sucks but true

[Joseph Kony]

:lmao spurms

[$pursDynasty]

Jacob tonight as useless as Belli when his shot isn't falling

[TimDunkem]

Guys like Mills, Belli, and even Forbes are just players that will always give up more than they give you. Sadly, Pop chooses to play the worst two of that trio in crucial moments.

[TheRemix]

About to lose to the fucking hawks :lol

[Chinook]

some won't admit it but the Hawks momentum started when Lonnie entered the game... it sucks but true

Not really. It started at the quarter-break when the Hawks came in and hit a bunch of threes. Walker wasn't on the court for that.

[Mugen]

some won't admit it but the Hawks momentum started when Lonnie entered the game... it sucks but true

crofl the Spurs have been shit the entire game.

[TheRemix]

Hey derozan how about another mid range contested shot

[r0drig0lac]

lol Pop

[raybies]

Not really. It started at the quarter-break when the Hawks came in and hit a bunch of threes. Walker wasn't on the court for that.
rewatch...

[Chomag]

Lmao Belli..

[Joseph Kony]

marco right back to bricking :lmao this team fucking sucks and 75% of it is because the coach is a senile fucking moron

[Genovaswitness]

FUCKING belinelli

[poopbox]

This is not a fun team to watch play basketball

[Chinook]

rewatch...

I did. Walker is -1 (and not -9) for a reason.

[Robz4000]

:lmao this team's FT shooting

[raybies]

if we lose... it will be a really bad loss

[NASpurs]

My nigga raybies sniffing the farts again. Game was lost when the old man went full retard.

[Joseph Kony]

:lmao Softdridge fumbling passes

[Slippy]

Still can't believe Marco is out there.

[TimDunkem]

White in. Spurs run coming.

[timtonymanu]

Please lose this game, Spurs. Tired of the senile coach getting reassured his shitty lineups can win games.

[BatManu20]

Spurs need points bad. Nobody’s stepping up

[poopbox]

Nice pass by Murray but LMA can't catch anything you don't put in his hands

[Darius Bieber]

Pop getting outcoached by fucking Lloyd Pierce lmao

[Chomag]

Wait Murray hasn't played up his minutes has he?

[TimDunkem]

Oh my God, Young ethered Aldridge.

[sasaint]

Please lose this game, Spurs. Tired of the senile coach getting reassured his shitty lineups can win games.

What makes you think one loss against the Hawks would change his mind?

[TheGreatYacht]

Senile old fuck REFUSING to play Murray and White together :lmao even with Murray at 18 minutes

[Mugen]

Fuck yea, let's go Hawks! Embarrass these fucks.

[r0drig0lac]

Jesus

[ZeusWillJudge]

Spurs have had a bunch of shots that bounced around the rim and just wouldn't drop.

[Chinook]

Wait Murray hasn't played up his minutes has he?

His minutes restriction is per-stint, not per game.

[raybies]

My nigga raybies (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=42684) sniffing the farts again. Game was lost when the old man went full retard.
what trying to get Lonnie minutes?

[boutons_deux]

-15 in the 4th, so far

[sananspursfan21]

These Atlanta rims are awful bouncy, all bad play aside...

[Leetonidas]

:lol this team is dogshit. Pop needs to gtfo

[NASpurs]

what trying to get Lonnie minutes?

So you think that one turnover when Mills curled in hard and Lonnie threw it away was the start of this? :lol

[Mugen]

Let's goooooooooooooooo

[Robz4000]

Spurs are a bottom three team in the West.

[timtonymanu]

What makes you think one loss against the Hawks would change his mind?

I mean all year, get that under .500 record, 9th-10th seed reality check while the genius continues playing his precious Wombat Beli lineups to close games.

[TheRemix]

Lolololol

[Mugen]

Trey Lyles closing out games while Dejounte on the bench. Hawks are small too.

Fucking love you Pop! You senile fuck.

[poopbox]

poeltl, lyles, and marco routinely combine for less than 18 combined points a game

[Genovaswitness]

somebody put pop in a nursing home. we're about to have another treadmill sack of shit 7th/8th seed season :lmao

[raybies]

So you think that one turnover when Mills curled in hard and Lonnie threw it away was the start of this? :lol
the arena was dead.. we were up 8 and the turnovers gave them life... not gonna argue. just rewatch

[r0drig0lac]

The lack of resistance of this team is something sad to watch, it is the fault lies with their leaders (Aldridge, Pop and Demar)

[timtonymanu]

Just stupid plays. Our guys were better the first 3 games tbh

They sucked those first 3 games too. :lol could have easily lost 2 out of 3 of those games

[$pursDynasty]

Hell ya'll yelling for Lonnie minutes over Belli, after tonight I want Metu minutes over Jacob

[NASpurs]

the arena was dead.. we were up 8 and the turnovers gave them life... not gonna argue. just rewatch

Oh you're talking about that one dead ball turnover by Lonnie (the travel) when Mills and White got yelled out for not shooting when they were open!


:lol please

[Slippy]

That's game . Well done out coached again. I honestly not fussed about Lonnie playing . It's pop going back to playing Marco . When you got DWhite and DJ to share those mins.

[timtonymanu]

the arena was dead.. we were up 8 and the turnovers gave them life... not gonna argue. just rewatch

Maybe so. But why do our best/most paid players never use that chance to lead the way and just follow along with the choke? That’s just as frustrating to watch

[sasaint]

I mean all year, get that under .500 record, 9th-10th seed reality check while the genius continues playing his precious Wombat Beli lineups to close games.

Nah. Ownership needs to realize it and put Pop out to pasture.

[raybies]

Maybe so. But why do our best/most paid players never use that chance to lead the way and just follow along with the choke? That’s just as frustrating to watch
very valid point. I will not argue that.

[Mugen]

Put Beli in again you stupid fuck.

[BatManu20]

This one looks over already.

[Mugen]

crofl no DWhite or Dejounte now with Trae Young red hot

[Robz4000]

:lmao Mills on Young, both White and Murray on the bench

[Joseph Kony]

senile piece of shit has the two best defensive guards on the bench while Young is shitting all over the Spurs :lmao :lmao what a fucking idiot

[$pursDynasty]

Trae torching us and we go Bryn and Patty?

[raybies]

Mills on Young... cmon

[BatManu20]

That’s not a travel....

[Mugen]

We are witnessing this senile fuck get Jerry Sloan'd out of the league, I fucking love it.

Patty on Trae let's fucking goooooooooooooo baby

[NASpurs]

Low IQ ball team resembles the low IQ coach. Stick to politics you old fossil.

[Death In June]

I think I might be done watching Spurs games for a little while.

[Genovaswitness]

HAAAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAAHAAHHAAHAHAAHAHAHAAAHAH AAHHAAHAHAH

PSYCH WARD ESCAPEE DEROZAN RUINING ANY CHANCE OF A WIN AHAHAHAAHAAHAHAAHAAHAHAHAAHA

:lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Mugen]

Light that fat fuck Koala up, Trae.

[Trainwreck2100]

:lol losing to shit teams gonna bite em in the ass later like it always does

[timtonymanu]

very valid point. I will not argue that.

Yeah I get it the Big 3 is a hard standard to follow but it would be nice if LA and Demar showed some semblance of star power that makes the difference in close games. But LMA just gives up and disappears while Demar makes stupid costly plays and we never have a chance of fighting back.

[raybies]

we can't afford a loss like this in a deep west tbh

[ZeusWillJudge]

The Spurs have hardly had any AST's in the second half. I could be wrong, but I think they've only had three.

[r0drig0lac]

Aldridge and Demar are just inconsistent elite role players right now

[212094ever]

Lol our "stars"

[timtonymanu]

somebody put pop in a nursing home. we're about to have another treadmill sack of shit 7th/8th seed season :lmao

That’s a little generous. This is more like a 9th/10 seed team.

[Joseph Kony]

this games over. faggot coach. seriously, fuck popovich

[Chomag]

All of the best Spurs are sitting on the bench lmao

[ZeusWillJudge]

Put Beli in again you stupid fuck.

At least he'd put the Spurs out of their misery.

[Mugen]

I fucking love this. Where are my fucking Sniffers at saying the players just played bad? Please fucking give it to me, Sniffers. :lol

[Death In June]

Not playing White or Murray ....why?

[sasaint]

Pop, LMA and Dumbmar are all vampires. They have sucked all of my enthusiasm out of being a Spurs fan. And no end in sight as far as I can see.

[NASpurs]

The real potential of this team is Murray, White and Lonnie... not fucking LMA, DeMar, and Gay (Mills and Beli too since Pop seems to think they're stars). Trade all of those losers away.

Samanic and KJ are potentials too. (I forgot they're on the team :lol)

[TimDunkem]

This team is a mess from top to bottom.

[Mugen]

Tra3333333333333333

[Robz4000]

Pop is running this franchise into the ground.

[timtonymanu]

I fucking love this. Where are my fucking Sniffers at saying the players just played bad? Please fucking give it to me, Sniffers. :lol

I’m more interested in Pop’s snarky bullshit after this shitshow in the postgame interview

[Chomag]

Don't tell me Pop values defence when he has that line up out there

[james evans]

This is bs

[$pursDynasty]

Pop tanking or insane Mills Forbes lineup

[timtonymanu]

This team deserves the lottery. Please keep sucking all season

[Mugen]

The only chance this team has to do anything this year is to have Dejounte, DWhite, and Lonnie be good.

And Pop has all 3 of them on the bench while Trae Young is lighting Mills the fuck up

[raybies]

well that's game... not surprised he's going off with patty on him

[Chinook]

Maybe Pop just doesn't know what good defense is anymore.

[r0drig0lac]

this is just humiliating, great job Pop

[Beartrucci]

We’ve sucked before for stretches, but I don’t remember ever watching a Spurs squad where it looked like several players were just collecting checks

[phxspurfan]

Trae Young is the real Steph Curry

[Mugen]

timvp I cannot wait for your D grade for Pop, these Grades are gonna be so good.

I know you have a site to run and a bunch of Sniffers on the board so you can't seem too fucking mad at Pop and I love it.

[Duncan2177]

This Spurs team is dog shit.

[sasaint]

Not playing White or Murray ....why?

Sean making with the alibis for Pop's not playing Dijon or Derrick.

[TimDunkem]

Pop, LMA and Dumbmar are all vampires. They have sucked all of my enthusiasm out of being a Spurs fan. And no end in sight as far as I can see.

I fear the Spurs are going to run this team back until DD and LMA retire or go elsewhere on their own.

[212094ever]

Hard to root for some players on this team

[Joseph Kony]

what the fuck reason could there be for locking your OBVIOUS two best defensive players on the bench in a close game while the other teams PG is going off on midgets Mills/Forbes?? Pop is either senile, a complete dipshit, both, or he just doesnt give a fuck about actually winning anything or even being competitive

[sananspursfan21]

That’s embarrassing tbh. The offense is stuck in the mud. No movement, no passion or energy. Just going through the motions. This may be a long season folks...

[Mugen]

well that's game... not surprised he's going off with patty on him

Blame your god, Sniffer. :lol

[r0drig0lac]

Pop, LMA and Dumbmar are all vampires. They have sucked all of my enthusiasm out of being a Spurs fan. And no end in sight as far as I can see.

this

[timtonymanu]

IF Spurs win this one, Spurs are 5-2 always in the game even in their losses and peeps are shitting on Pop.

What you say now

[Texas_Ranger]

if we combined all of our 3 point guards we would perhaps have a great one.

[Mr. Peabody]

Mills on Young instead of White or Murray?

[razor247]

This team sucks....no one can shoot the ball consistently. Forbes misses alot and Dj can only do layups, DeSpoiin just throws bricks

[NASpurs]

The real fandom will be stretched for some of us when DeMar gets the upcoming inevitable contract extension. :lol

[Mugen]

Line jumped to Spurs -5.5. If Pop is gonna stick with those rotations, take the points baby.

Easy. Fucking. Money.

God bless you, you senile fuck!

Watch this old loser fellate the Hawks coach after getting dicked in the 4th.

[Genovaswitness]

I fear the Spurs are going to run this team back until DD and LMA retire or go elsewhere on their own.

Motherfucker they can’t even give us fiesta jerseys this year. the la cultura collection was a nice touch but sold out mad quickly

[ZeusWillJudge]

Pop calls a timeout to put in his best 8-point play. A 9-point play if someone fouls.

[raybies]

this team has a lot of potential but Pop pressed the wrong buttons tonight....

[sananspursfan21]

Trae Young will be better than “Chef” Curry. Yeah, I said it.

[Genovaswitness]

The real fandom will be stretched for some of us when DeMar gets the upcoming inevitable contract extension. :lol

I might only watch marquee games if that’s the case. I can’t keep watching 82 games of this dogshit

[Chinook]

Calling a second time-out there just doesn't make sense.

[Mugen]

The fucking Sniffers in this thread not even mentioning that their god had Patty fucking Mills guarding Trae :lol

[Genovaswitness]

this team has a lot of potential but Pop pressed the wrong buttons tonight....

Pop needs his dementia pills. dudes lost it

[Slippy]

Pop going back to Marco to start the 4th when they up 8 was a Masterstroke move. Great teaching moment on how to lose momentum and make it easier for the opposition.

Lonnie watching from the bench had nothing to do with that.

[james evans]

This is fucking bs.

[Darius Bieber]

Can’t even put the ball in play after a time out.. this team is absolute trash.

[DAF86]

Not only is this team mediocre (worst than last season), it is also being brought even more down by it's own coach.

[Chomag]

Will someone please ask Pop why he is not being "competitive" that would be funny

[ZeusWillJudge]

Seriously, Pop just disinterested all night. Then with 20 seconds and an 8-point deficit, he wants to get involved. I'm getting pretty sick of him, too.

[james evans]

What the fuck is he drawing us plays for? We have 10 pointers on the court?

[sasaint]

This team deserves the lottery. Please keep sucking all season

I will be extremely pissed if the Spurs end up in the lottery after hanging on to LMA and Dumbmar in order to extend Pop's playoff streak legacy.

[Genovaswitness]

Hard to root for some players on this team

I don’t root for anyone other than Murray, white, poetl and sometimes LMA

[twincam]

This club can easily lose their mentality with a quick run from their foes. 41-41 this season.

[Mugen]

My favorite game of the season so far, tbh.

Any time this roster and the coach get badly exposed, it's an overall win for the future of the organization.

Please just retire already.

[tmtcsc]

Geezus, this team is straight up trash. Get rid of these bums -> Aldridge, Derozan and Gay. All of them are no-heart chuckers. If this team had any balls they'd get rid of Patty too or at least limit him to about 8 minutes a game. No identity, no character and more importantly, no defenders.

Oh, and Pop's lost his fucking mind. He should just give it up after this season and concentrate on losing the Olympics with his stubborn ass self.

[NASpurs]

Looking ahead at the schedule, shit looks real iffy. Only saving grace is some home games.

[emanueldavidginobili]

2-10 in 12 minutes is absurd.

[sasaint]

this team has a lot of potential but Pop pressed the wrong buttons tonight....

TONIGHT?!?!?!

[Chomag]

In all honesty if Pop didn't get anything other than an F in LJ's grades I don't know what will

[Mugen]

Play the "Soft" card too please, like your players haven't completely tuned you out :lmao

[rjv]

spurs have no identity as of yet. late lottery looking more likely than ever if they can't find one soon.

[timtonymanu]

I will be extremely pissed if the Spurs end up in the lottery after hanging on to LMA and Dumbmar in order to extend Pop's playoff streak legacy.

This loser coach and team deserves all the failures they put themselves too, tbh. Fuck Pop and his playoff streak, hoping he gets a Phil Jackson/Sloan exit from this league.

[phxspurfan]

42 win team is 42

[Arcadian]

Did not disappoint :tu

[sasaint]

My favorite game of the season so far, tbh.

Any time this roster and the coach get badly exposed, it's an overall win for the future of the organization.

Please just retire already.

I hope you are right. But I do not think Pop is anywhere close to admitting he needs to move on, and ownership is apparently too invested in the entitled sonofabitch to can him.

[Harry Callahan]

LMA and DeRozan don't measure up right now - one is too passive and the other too mistake prone. So many easy shots are allowed and the iso ball offense is terrible to watch. I may have wasted a hundred bucks on NBALP this year.

Four or five sloppy passes turn into easy layups for the Hawks. Pop needs to kick the ass of some of his veteran players who lack BBIQ instead of busting the chops of young players who can turn into something.

BTW, Murray was given absolutely no respect by that shi**y officiating crew. Lots of bailouts in the second half.

The playoffs are going to be very difficult this year the way things are looking right now. They are dreadful on the road and will struggle to beat most W. Conference teams away from home. Not fun to watch right now.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Easy. Fucking. Money.

God bless you, you senile fuck!

Watch this old loser fellate the Hawks coach after getting dicked in the 4th.

Like clock work :lol

[r0drig0lac]

this team has a lot of potential but Pop pressed the wrong buttons tonight....

funny

[TimDunkem]

42 win team is 42

If White, Murray, and Lonnie don't see minute increases soon while the usual suspects continue to stink it up, I don't see this team reaching 42.

[MultiTroll]

Pop going back to Marco to start the 4th when they up 8 was a Masterstroke move. Great teaching moment on how to lose momentum and make it easier for the opposition.

Lonnie watching from the bench had nothing to do with that.

78 - 70 Marco Belinelli enters the game for Patty Mills

[Slippy]

Pop is either senile, a complete dipshit, both, or he just doesnt give a fuck about actually winning anything or even being competitive

In pops head he prioritizing spacing over talent.

[sasaint]

This loser coach and team deserves all the failures they put themselves too, tbh. Fuck Pop and his playoff streak, hoping he gets a Phil Jackson/Sloan exit from this league.

That kind of exit won't happen with the Spurs.

[raybies]

TONIGHT?!?!?!
teams got a winning record... say what you will but as long as he keeps winning and takes the team to the playoffs. can't really question that.. I'm not gonna root for us to lose just to spite him. tonight was on him though

[objective]

Setting aside what is probably the worst coaching job of Pop's career ...

Aldridge might be washed. Which kind of makes the business of guaranteeing the last year of his contract without pressure to do so look bad.

Aldridge couldn't get going against scrubs like Len and a rookie Fernando.

Averaging 16 points and shooting under 45% ... Ugh.

[timtonymanu]

My favorite game of the season so far, tbh.

Any time this roster and the coach get badly exposed, it's an overall win for the future of the organization.

Sniffers: but we’re still 4-3. A full season to turn it around.

[CGD]

This is a very interesting ATL team. I hadn’t really seen Young play before, and they picked up two nice wings in this draft.

[Mugen]

If you hate Pop and his rotations the last 5 years, tonight might have been better than 2014 Game 5 tbh :lol

Imagine being so fucking stupid that you don't think Pop has been absolutely dog shit so far this year.

[raybies]

Sniffers: but we’re still 4-3. A full season to turn it around.
yup :tu

Pop is just as much to blame, tbh.

[tim_duncan_fan]

If White, Murray, and Lonnie don't see minute increases soon while the usual suspects continue to stink it up, I don't see this team reaching 42.

Good. We need a high-potential draft pick really, really, badly. Someone with more natural ability. The guys have to work too hard to get shots that come easier for most other teams, right now.

[Mugen]

Sniffers: but we’re still 4-3. A full season to turn it around.

It should have happened sooner, but I'm rooting for it nonethless.

Hell, let's speed up the process and blow the team up completely. Everyone except the White, Murray, and Lonnie are expendable. Might as well since LMA looks washed, and DD looks like the same old DumbMar.

I don't ever root against the Spurs.

[Slippy]

78 - 70 Marco Belinelli enters the game for Patty Mills

Lonnie was on the bench to watch it all unfold

[r0drig0lac]

Pop continues to put the team at a physical disadvantage, as if it would teach this bunch of unresisting players (aside from the clear absence of high-qi players, which has always been the hallmark of spurs) is really bizarre.

[timtonymanu]

4 wins against lottery teams and another team on a b2b. :lol

We killing these niggas tonight my guy

And only one of those wins was dominant and it was against some scrubs named Jordan Poole and Paschal :lol

[Nivek_ogre]

I usually hate the popovich bashing but seriously..... Wtf. If you are not going to play white and murray together at least have one constantly on the floor. Mills guarding young was awful. A backcourt of mills and Forbes? Riding Marco all the way to defeat?

[Jordan Jackson]

Pop looks done. An engaged coach is not playing Marco EVER. Patty Mills guarding Trey Young was a true chefs kiss to this game.

When Murray is off minute restrictions and this shit is still going on, sign me up for the Pop gotta go bandwagon. If
your not rolling out a White/Murray backcourt for spurts you should be fired.

[Harry Callahan]

Pop is just as much to blame, tbh.

I think I did throw Pop under the bus too. The perimeter D is just not good and it seems like only a couple of guys on the want to get in front of their man and compete on the defensive end. I don't see the talent out there and DeRozan and Aldridge are not going to get any better - only worse as time goes by. Turn the page.

[sasaint]

Why? So they can sit on the fucking bench behind Patty, Beli, and Forbes? :lol

The young talent isn't the problem, it's the stubborn fuck who is holding them back.

Yep. An infusion of new talent needs to begin at the top.

[Mugen]

GNSFs and the Sniffers getting everything they believed about Pop go down the fucking drain got me feeling....

http://assets.sbnation.com/assets/1100960/stan.gif

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Didn't watch the game but read some and looked at box score. How much longer is Beli going to be here? This is embarrassing. You know who can take his place for all I care....Melo. Vince Carter was better than Beli. I hate Melo but f me might as well burn gloriously.

[raybies]

My guy, I think you care more about a successful season than most of the players on the team and Pop do at this point. Lol
I just understand it's a process. The big 3 never repeated. They hit the peak, missed and built and hit the peak again. I don't think this team can win a title and I don't think DD especially and to a lesser extent LMA are pieces you want to build around but my hope is for the development of Murray, White, Lonnie etc and in that regard it's just about getting them to a point where they are ready to carry a team. I feel LMA and DD are redundant. You only need one. They both do the same thing and perform the same way in the playoffs. LMA is a skill set that's a lot harder to find so you hope they let DD walk this off season and keep LMA. You can't let DD walk though if the youth aren't ready. So our focus should be on the development of the youth tbh

[RD2191]

WTF happened? I stepped out to run an errand real quick and the Hawks drop 38 in the 4th? :lol Spurms, what a clown show.

[DPG21920]

Spurs are a playoff team and more fun if Pop just does the right things. It’s right there. Murray and White need minutes and Beli needs to be out of the rotation. Lonnie and Caroll need to fight for minutes.


It’s not a great team even with that but it will be more fun and best shot at playoffs.

[Mugen]

we're watching the old man get Jerry Sloan'd outta the league, rob. Get the fuck in here!!

[Dhbsr555]

Won’t matter if the spurs get a high draft pick. Lonnie was what 18th or 19th can’t remember and he is riding the pine for belli a 9 percent 3 point shooter. Lonnie will demand a trade soon. Atleast he should. He is to big of a talent to be treated like thks

[timtonymanu]

GNSFs and the Sniffers getting everything they believed about Pop go down the fucking drain got me feeling....

They’re all running philosophies that was fine back in the 2000s and the team had the Big 3 to make up for the talent. But it’s 2019, no star players. This pecking order, fall in line bullshit is toxic to the team’s current development.

[TimDunkem]

The Spurs desperately need to move on from DD, LMA, Gay, Mills, and Belli. All of them

The guys on top are going to continue to get worse while continuing to choke games, and guys like Mills and Belli are going to steal minutes from the young studs. This team will continue to go nowhere until these things change.

My man, we've been calling it for years (and have been right pretty much every year since 2014 :lol).

Never in my wildest dreams could I have imagined Pop being this fucking senile and it's happening.

[FkLA]

So once Vince hit the and1, I looked up the final score to see if it was worth watching the rest of the game...noticed Wombat played 26 mins, Murray 20, White 19. Came to the conclusion that Pop went with his pet as his closer again and turned that shit off.

[sasaint]

I fear the Spurs are going to run this team back until DD and LMA retire or go elsewhere on their own.

I have the exact same fear. But my blood pressure is much better than in days of yore. Not much reason to get too excited or passionate about big wins or bad losses like I once did. This team has made me a dispassionate fan.

[Mugen]

Just wait til the old fuck runs off DWhite and Lonnie

Good move. No doubt you spent several minutes of your life doing something more rewarding than those of us who watched this mess til the end.

What sucks is that this team should be the funnest Spurs team in a long, long time. But it's being held back by the guy trying to turn it into the 2008 Spurs.

[Nivek_ogre]

Would rather play the young guys to a 10th seed than see this stubborn shit. Great teams have a system. Derozan and Aldridge can't play in one. Maybe one but both is not happening.

[Darius Bieber]

The 2008 Spurs were better than this trash roster. Would rather have Ime fucking Udoka out there than Trashinelli.

[tim_duncan_fan]

It should have happened sooner, but I'm rooting for it nonethless.

Hell, let's speed up the process and blow the team up completely. Everyone except the White, Murray, and Lonnie are expendable. Might as well since LMA looks washed, and DD looks like the same old DumbMar.

I'd be down for this and Forbes, who is a GREAT role-player.

Honestly though, I question White, too. That guy is so timid and I don't know if he'll ever grow out of it. He might only ever be just what he is today, simply because he won't be aggressive.

DeMar and LMA are pretty much done. They were never franchise players to begin with. We have to move on, even if it means we draft high for a few years straight.

[Bynumite]

Sperms falling in the standings as soon as they stop playing lottery teams every night :lol

[FkLA]

Good move. No doubt you spent several minutes of your life doing something more rewarding than those of us who watched this mess til the end.

He went with Wombat as his closer and Trae Young probably went off on him, didn't he?

[tim_duncan_fan]

Lonnie's already counting the days until his contract is up.

[timtonymanu]

I don't mind Gay as a backup PF.

[Mugen]

Lonnie's already counting the days until his contract is up.

And I don't blame him one bit. What Pop has done to him since the Clipper game is fucking despicable.

[SpurPadre]

Still way too early to hit the panic button and we are infamous for choking games away even in our 5 championship seasons and throughout the Pop era. The team will also get better once Murray is cleared to go full bore. But will that better be enough to be serious contenders? We'll see. But LMA's decline and our lack of shooters are both concerning. I really hope we can manage a trade by the deadline because no matter how better we'll be with a fully-loaded Murray, we will still need shooters.

[TimDunkem]

The 2008 Spurs were better than this trash roster. Would rather have Ime fucking Udoka out there than Trashinelli.

Hell, I'd rather have that 2010 team with Bogans, RMJ, Dick Jeff, Blair, and McDyess. At least that was a 50 win team. :lol

[sasaint]

He went with Wombat as his closer and Trae Young probably went off on him, didn't he?

You got it. I would accuse you of actually watching the game if what you describe weren't so predictable.

[Dhbsr555]

When you have a prime tony manu and tim playing it’s easy to coach. I think we are starting to see that pop isn’t as great as people make him to be

[r0drig0lac]

Pop - as well as the FO - have been exposed since TD retired. People are finally realizing what only a few of us have been harping on for years: Tim Duncan WAS the system. Period.


ps: Walker will be a star, and the faster he leaves San Antonio, the faster it will happen.

[timtonymanu]

I don't mind Gay as a backup PF.

Getting paid too much still imo. He’s just breaking down more and he shit the bed against Denver. But he’s getting treated like the 3rd best player on the team. Might as well develop Luka from here on out.

No more Timmy, Manu or Kawhi to carry his arrogant ass. Love that he's getting exposed.

RMJ had more ice in his veins than Defrozen. Dude was making clutch killer shots against the Suns and Lakers in 2008.

[sasaint]

Can you imagine Pop coaching the Hawks, teaching all those young guys to get over themselves?

[Mugen]

Every single young, promising player on the roster looks like they know they'll get pulled for a single mistake.

The only one who doesn't is Roger Forbes Jr. who has the greenest fucking light in the league. :lol

[timtonymanu]

Thunder and Celtics up next. What are the chances both teams go up by double digits and the Spurs have to claw their way back all game, then momentum goes away when Pop puts Wombat on Paul/Kemba and Demar turns over the ball on a big possession while Aldridge stands there doing nothing.

[gambit1990]

the team needs wholesale changes.

[gambit1990]

the only way for pop to be held accountable for anything would be if the spurs had new ownership...

[sasaint]

Pop's presser was priceless. None of those jerk-off writers asked him anything but Basketball 101 questions. So cowed.

[Mugen]

This team would be so fucking fun to watch if it were Dejounte, DWhite, and Lonnie playing together, getting better.

In reality, we can't even get one of those guys out there to close out a fucking game :lmao

[timtonymanu]

I agree with your points. I just don’t see it this year with them turning it around. The team will be limited as long as LA and Demar are expected to lead the team and Pop overplaying the vets. It’s possible they miss the playoffs or fall back into a 7th/8th seed as their best ceiling. No different from what they’ve been since Kawhi bailed.

Exactly what I’ve been saying.. there’s no reason for Lonnie to take this much longer. I believe he demands a trade

[sasaint]

I think both games are Ls.

[GAustex]

Can you imagine this team with those two wings from Hawks instead of DDR and Mills?

[Mugen]

Fans like the Sniffers and the chickenshit local media are why this shit will continue to happen until Pop is gone. Everybody is content with a dictator fucking over anybody that isn't his guy.

[FkLA]

You already know lol


You got it. I would accuse you of actually watching the game if what you describe weren't so predictable.

smh

7 games in and Pop is already ruining the season for me with his stubbornness and faggotry.

[timtonymanu]

Pop's presser was priceless. None of those jerk-off writers asked him anything but Basketball 101 questions. So cowed.

Hard to when the old man will have a meltdown about it or just brush off their questions with “come on ask me something good.” He’s in denial of the whole thing so there’s no point.

I really hope we can manage a trade by the deadline because no matter how better we'll be with a fully-loaded Murray, we will still need shooters.

Murray playing 35 minutes won't matter if he can't/won't threaten from outside. The Hawks figured out he won't shoot Js in just his limited action tonight. If that becomes a consistent thing, neutralizing him will be easy.

[Mugen]

Games like tonight are why shouldn't be mad at Kawhi for being a faggot. He saw the writing on the wall and he had to come up with chickenshit ways to get out of dodge.

You don't have to like it and he's still a POS but tonight is a reminder that you should understand why he did what he did.

[daslicer]

Sperms falling in the standings as soon as they stop playing lottery teams every night :lol

:lol Surprised you are talking after the Lakers lost to a lottery team tonight in the bulls. Still bitter about the Spurs not giving #2 to the Lakers.

[sasaint]

There is a point. IF those guys could turn up the heat on him. Let him go off after every game. Let him arrogantly brush off the questions. Just keep asking them.

[raybies]

seems like a win win if you ask me. I think it will sort itself out this season and we could be top 4 seed in the west but we have a lot of work to do.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

This fan base falls in love with players very easily and determines they are stars when in fact most are not. Simmons and Anderson are two that come to mind.

He pretty much ruined last season, and is picking up where he left off.

Then let's find out instead of continuing to roll with low ceiling, no defense playing losers like Belli and Wombat.

[objective]

Getting paid too much still imo. He’s just breaking down more and he shit the bed against Denver. But he’s getting treated like the 3rd best player on the team. Might as well develop Luka from here on out.

Luka?

Wouldn't be fair to the team. Got another 4 years of getting over himself. Maybe he'll be ready on Mills Jersey Retirement Night

[r0drig0lac]

Murray playing 35 minutes won't matter if he can't/won't threaten from outside. The Hawks figured out he won't shoot Js in just his limited action tonight. If that becomes a consistent thing, neutralizing him will be easy.

Well, if our center could put up a real fucking hard screen and not that fake screen Aldridge puts in, that could make Murray's job easier.
