[Ron Swanson]

[Genovaswitness]

I knew spurfan would get Stockholm syndrome with this fuck

[BillMc]

It amazes me the number of people that have jumped ship because the Spurs have to "gasp!" fight for the playoffs for the first time in 22 years. (Though 2009 and 2010 had their moments of "its over" too. And by 2011 and certainly 2012 they were a power again. One that lasted until 2017. If these are our "down years' we have not and are not suffering. All the "retire Pop" "Player x sucks" "RC sucks" is way unrealistic, even if you can justifiably criticize some things.

We're actually due to miss the playoffs one of these years. Its not the end of the world if it happens, and it doesn't mean everyone running the show is suddenly incompetent. It's just the nature of a site like this where everyone wants immediate satisfaction.

Well said .. It's hard to find such realistic thoughts these days.

Let's get the W spurs

turning a 60-plus-win team that reached the WCF and might've won the title that year if not for injuries, into a team that can't reach the playoffs in a weak western conference in a timespan of 3 years definitely deserves some criticism. Especially when people have called out the front office after that 60-win season for making some very questionable decisions who were so obvious that even the average fan could see that it will hurt the franchise long term.
Yet sniffers never want to question Dictatorvich and his huge ego problem. Everything he does is right and he's the GOAT, Spurs FO is the best in the league, etc., etc.

People are not jumping ship because the Spurs have to fight for a playoff spot. People are jumping ship because the people who run the franchise don't do anything to improve the situation. As a matter of fact it's pretty evident that they are just making it worse. They think the outdated reputation of the over the hill head coach is enough to somehow turn the situation around. Action is required and nobody is doing anything. That is what frustrates most of the fanbase.

[Shakril]

I knew spurfan would get Stockholm syndrome with this fuck

But he is the best player on the spurs. And its definitly not on him. Before anyone else i would blame Forbes and Belinelli, which are that bad at everything they do, that you have to question Pop why he plays them.

[Harry Callahan]

Bryn Forbes and Marco may be nice, hard working people, but they are not worthy of being in a nine or ten man NBA rotation. They simply are not that good. Beli used to be that good, but not anymore.

[RC_Drunkford]

Bryn Forbes and Marco may be nice, hard working people, but they are not worthy of being in a nine or ten man NBA rotation. They simply are not that good. Beli used to be that good, but not anymore.

they shouldn't be in the NBA period. Only an idiot like Flopovich would start one of them and have both in the rotation

[DC23]

Aldridge playing tonight?

[spurs10]

It's just the nature of a site like this where everyone wants immediate satisfaction. Exactly! I get that this a forum where people can rant and rave, but it is ridiculous to complain about a team that for two decades running were the most winning team in all team sports. Not just basketball, but baseball, soccer, football, and hockey as well. In a 15 year span we won 5 championships and the Lakers won 5, leaving 5 for all the other teams.

I'm enjoying this season and don't have expectations or care if we make the playoffs. Last year game 6 of the Nuggets was probably their best performance of the season, so maybe they'll give some 1st round opponent a handful....or maybe for the first time in 22 years they won't make it.
:flag:

[spurs10]

Aldridge playing tonight? Good question.

[wildbill2u]

Exactly. Spur10. :bobo We just need to sit back, root for the team to be competitive and enjoy the entertainment of professional basketball. Forget great expectations from any one player and give the bad ones some slack.

In addition to lowering your blood pressure, your family will probably enjoy the rest of the season more as well.

He's playing tonight

Hornets by 5.

[Mugen]

:lmao That fat nerd @TPark slurping off Jeff Macdonald

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:lmao That fat nerd @TPark slurping off Jeff Macdonald


1223662397342330886

:lmao who exactly has the fucking G league helped anyway. Fucking helped Corey Joseph turn into a mediocre point guard? :lol It just gives young players reps in a shitty fast paced game cause pop is too stubborn/lazy to coach and teach young players

[timtonymanu]

:lmao That fat nerd @TPark slurping off Jeff Macdonald


1223662397342330886

T Park and slurping McDonald’s is a daily routine for him

[GAustex]

I wonder why the tip is pushed back 30 minutes from usual ?

[Mugen]

Spurs @ home against a garbage opponent coached by a former Pop assistant?

Buzz City time!!!!!!!!!

[Ron Swanson]

PJ Washington out for Charlotte.

[ace3g]

Lyles!!!

[RC_Drunkford]

:lmao That fat nerd @TPark slurping off Jeff Macdonald


1223662397342330886

lmao the same idiot who said he has "sources" who told him the Spurs would trade DeRozan before the season started :lol

[TimDunkem]

I cannot watch the Spurs broadcast and specifically Sean Elliot anymore, I have to switch to the Hornets.

He "finally got a shot he liked," for Bryn Forbes.


PUKE

Spurs broadcast is going to polish that Pop turd sandwich special for the Slurpers to scarf down. What do you expect?

[Ron Swanson]

Jakob!

[ace3g]

Poeltl (lefty)Jam!!!

[RC_Drunkford]

This quarter is a prime example why this team is garbage. Spurs are better at every position than the Hornets besides the 2 starting guard spots and are only up 2 due to letting them score a bunch of easy buckets

[Robz4000]

It's time to bench Rudy for good I think.

[RC_Drunkford]

Poeltl is getting cooked by Hernangomez :lmao

[Robz4000]

Poeltl is getting cooked by Hernangomez :lmao

The Hernangomez brothers have a history of raping the Spurs tbh.

[Leetonidas]

why on earth would you throw a lob to bryn forbes

[Gorepopovich]

LOL

[RC_Drunkford]

:lmao :lmao :lmao Bryn Forbes alley-oop :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Gorepopovich]

Tanking mode.

[RC_Drunkford]

that's the Spurs team that I'm used to

[Shakril]

Poeltl is getting cooked by Hernangomez :lmao

It was good Defense from poeltl, hernan just made them. If it were that easy to defend games would end 18-17 not 120-116.
Idiocy from some "Fans" here who only want to trash and troll is beyond me.

[Robz4000]

:lmao

[Ron Swanson]

You can't stop Cody Zeller. You can only hope to contain him.

[RC_Drunkford]

It was good Defense from poeltl, hernan just made them. If it were that easy to defend games would end 18-17 not 120-116.
Idiocy from some "Fans" here who only want to trash and troll is beyond me.

Hernangomez is not even a starter. You can easily defend him better and Poeltl was out of position a lot of times when he scored. It's not like Hernangomez was making jump shots, he cooked him in the post. You sniffers really have no clue

[jbspurs]

finally Forbes is out

[Genovaswitness]

this team is fucking pathetic :lmao

people thought dumbar was an all star :lmao

[Robz4000]

Spurs getting blown out at home by the fucking Hornets. How times have changed.

[DC23]

What the hell is going on

[Joseph Kony]

:lmao :lmao holy shit

[BlackAndWhite]

Pathetic. Clown show tbh

[poopbox]

Marco hit the side of the backboard :lol

[TimDunkem]

When your "in we trust" HC subs out Bryn and puts in Belli as a Defensive stopper....

You get what you get

I'm all for shitting on those guys, but just about every Spur looks bad right now. Every single one of them are failing to stick with their man.

[sasaint]

It's time to bench Rudy for good I think.

Yep. I am so tired of watching Rudy pull down a defensive board and turn the ball over trying to dribble up the floor through traffic.

[DC23]

Why even bother coming out for the second half

[RC_Drunkford]

:pop: "We don't need no trades. They just have to run my plays better and we can make the playoffs"

[TimDunkem]

Hernangomez/Zeller > LMA/Turdle

[dbestpro]

Murray and Forbes - 24 minutes and 3 points in the first half. These guys are not going to be in the NBA in 3-4 years let alone lead a team.

[BlackAndWhite]

Still no Demarre Carroll while Margo Belinelli keeps on playing significant minutes

[Mugen]

:lmao

I love this team tbh.

[jbspurs]

Don't worry, he'll continue to start as long as Pop is HC and he'll get the 3rd most minutes. Heck if LMA or DDR are traded he's gonna lead the team in minutes.

Det what chippy leaders do.... I wouldn't be surprised...

[RC_Drunkford]

Apparently Flopovich is so good at motivating players that they come out flat everytime they play a team with a worse record than them

[RC_Drunkford]

Murray and Forbes - 24 minutes and 3 points in the first half. These guys are not going to be in the NBA in 3-4 years let alone lead a team.

:pop: "They are starters on a potential playoff team. What do you know about basketball?"

[dbestpro]

Pop is that patient in the psych hospital that keeps trying to put the square peg in the round hole. Day in and day out. Every day the same thing.

[TimDunkem]

:pop: "They are starters on a potential playoff team. What do you know about basketball?"

Sounds like some posters on this site rather than Pop, tbh.

[r0drig0lac]

:lmao Kawhi is a smart guy

[tbdog]

Our 'shooters' arent even spreading the floor. They are just collapsing on DD and doubling LMA. What's the damn point.

[TimDunkem]

:lmao Kawhi is a smart guy

To think that the best they could do for him was Mah Touches, Pau Gasol, and Rudy fucking Gay.

[spurs10]

Horrible half. Expect a better effort in the second half, but they are in a whole and if Hornets hang tough another bad loss. Ugh

[Genovaswitness]

spurs have been doing too many promos. la cultura (very cheap clothing), the indigenous night (at least it was ‘47 brand stuff decent quality) and now Selena night. It’s getting comical tbh

why didn’t they just offer kawhi the super max outright? Can’t wait for the clippers to win that LOB :toast

[spurs1990]

Just logged on and to see a 13 pt deficit to Charlotte. It's time. Trade DeRozan and Aldridge. Ship ain't getting fixed this season.

[Mugen]

These are my favorite type of games too tbh. Spurs come back from a big deficit only to fuck it up at the end anyways :lol

[sasaint]

It amazes me the number of people that have jumped ship because the Spurs have to "gasp!" fight for the playoffs for the first time in 22 years. (Though 2009 and 2010 had their moments of "its over" too. And by 2011 and certainly 2012 they were a power again. One that lasted until 2017.

I understand the big picture statistical perspective, but you can't ignore what your eyes see game in and game out. Starting a player who is as statistically horrible as Bryn and playing him so many minutes is not just a contributing factor to some statistical model; it is absolutely terrible coaching. Go look at his Hollinger statistics. There is no way that you can justify starting and playing Bryn that many minutes - and that's not even considering the game situations into which Pop inserts such a poor defender. That's just using one player as an example. Go check Marco's Hollinger statistics, as well. And once again, that's not touching on the game situations in which Pop inserts these horrible players when he has alternatives that are statistically demonstrably better. There is just no way your own eyes can justify the "tactical" moves Pop make.

Friend, Bill, I appreciate loyalty, but you don't have to fall on your sword. I watched Tom Landry go downhill, too. Pop's decline is far worse.

[sasaint]

These are my favorite type of games too tbh. Spurs come back from a big deficit only to fuck it up at the end anyways :lol

You have been blessed with a lot of those type games this season.

[SPURt]

Spurs getting curb stomped by... (checks notes) Cody Zeller. Mercy, it’s been a long season. LMA having an off night is really dooming the good guys. When I saw that air ball early I was hoping it was an anomaly. Sadly, it might be that type of night.

[JeffDuncan]

At the half, Murray has no points, Patty has no points, Aldridge has 4... it's a wonder the score is as close as it is.

[jbspurs]

Forbes floater.. Nothing but air:spin

[Ron Swanson]

Zeller is on triple double watch. :lmao

[RC_Drunkford]

https://twitter.com/JMcDonald_SAEN/status/1223802503252320256

no shit genius :lmao

[ZeusWillJudge]

If we had honest beat reporters maybe we'd know if Pop is on the floor or as involved with the team as he was prior to 2015. I'm thinking NOT.


:pop: "We share wine. We have discussions. Lots of stuff more important than basketball. That's REAL involvement."

[sasaint]

:pop: "We don't need no trades. They just have to run my plays better and we can make the playoffs"

But do you really want that same :pop: making those trades?

[ZeusWillJudge]

Forbes floater.. Nothing but air:spin


When you say "Forbes" and "floater" together, it has a totally different meaning.

[sasaint]

Damn, Trey take that wide open 3!

[ZeusWillJudge]

But do you really want that same :pop: making those trades?


What... did you just decide to start giving me shit? :lol

I don't want Pop doing anything except retiring.

[tbdog]

Constant stops when White and Murray in the backcourt with no Forbes :deadhorse

[sasaint]

hornets crew talking about he Spurs Win's against top teams even though they are five games under .500

They are still surprised how well the Hornets are doing against the Spurs.

Eh, they have their Bill Land/Sean Elliott company men, too.

[RC_Drunkford]

great out of the time out play

[Ron Swanson]

Forbes goes out and it's a 10-0 run.

[sasaint]

What... did you just decide to start giving me shit? :lol

I don't want Pop doing anything except retiring.


Yesterday was too late.

[Mugen]

The White/Murray lineup that the "Edgelords" have been calling for ALL SEASON was dominant defensively.....

:lmao go fuck yourself Pop and every POS sniffer here.....

[Mugen]

It's almost as if playing your better defensive players = better defense

What a novel concept that this fraud head coach can't even understand :lmao

[Mugen]

Of course the old turd will eventually go back to Forbes and the Spurs should end up losing this by about 4-6.....

Also got the Hornets moneyline tonight so Buzz Buzz baby!!!!

[RC_Drunkford]

well Pop will now proceed to play a Forbes Mills Belinelli line up to counter that run

[hoopdreams11]

Forbes goes out and it's a 10-0 run.

White and Murray in together 10-0 run

[ZeusWillJudge]

It's almost as if playing your better defensive players = better defense

What a novel concept that this fraud head coach can't even understand :lmao


:pop: "I need to put a stop to this. Marco and Bryn - get to the scorer's table."

[Spurtacular]

Spurs were down by 18?

:lol

[Robz4000]

Spurs were down by 18?

:lol

19

[ace3g]

Poeltl Euro Step!!!

[Ron Swanson]

Jakob with the Eurostep.

[RC_Drunkford]

only took him 48 games to find out that White/Murray line ups have a positive defensive impact

[sasaint]

ONCE IN A LIFETIME EXPERIENCE: I SAW JAKOB ON A BREAKAWAY!

[hoopdreams11]

Spurs were down by 18?

:lol

19

[Mugen]

only took him 48 games to find out that White/Murray line ups have a positive defensive impact

And he'll go right back away from it as soon as he can...garbage coach. :lol

[spurs1990]

Forbes will not see another minute in this game. I'd bet my account on it

[sasaint]

Trade LMA.

[ZeusWillJudge]

LMAO at all the sniffers this season saying not to question the GOAT coach.

[sasaint]

Forbes will not see another minute in this game. I'd bet my account on it

Don't be rash, friend. Crunch time is still to come.

[JPB]

Charlotte out-choking the spurs

[RC_Drunkford]

Damn Poeltl putting the team on his back :wow

[sasaint]

AS soon as the SPURS take the Lead


WE ALL KNOW POP


IS PUTTING BRYN BACK IN!!!!


The whole 4th quarter still to go... Pop will remember his pets and LMA.

[dbestpro]

Amazing what happens when Forbes is not in the game.

[Robz4000]

Nice comeback, but we've all seen this song and dance before.

[hoopdreams11]

Everybody plays harder when they know there is not a defensive liability on the court

[sasaint]

Everybody plays harder when they know there is not a defensive liability on the court

OR maybe everybody doesn't have to play quite as hard to compensate for him...

[ZeusWillJudge]

Nice comeback, but we've all seen this song and dance before.


You know some of these guys are going to need a breather. And you know who's gonna replace them.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Everybody plays harder when they know there is not a defensive liability on the court


OR maybe everybody doesn't have to play quite as hard to compensate for him...

Or maybe the same hard play is effective when they aren't playing 4-on-5 because Forbes is a traffic cone.

[Ron Swanson]

I missed Metu imitating Poeltl's Euro step. :lmao

[DC23]

"squash the bugs" - did anyone else hear that? lol

[Manong Ginobili]

Now, Pop will find a way to ger Bryn in the game.

[sasaint]

Or maybe the same hard play is effective when they aren't playing 4-on-5 because Forbes is a traffic cone.

When you can concentrate on your own assignment and not have to invest some of your attention and energy in what the Cone isn't doing, good things happen.

[RC_Drunkford]

look at the bright side: Spurs only gave up 11 points in the quarter with that line up. Maybe Flopovich will play Murray/White together more now.

[sasaint]

"squash the bugs" - did anyone else hear that? lol

Nope. What was the context?

[Ron Swanson]

Patty from New Braunfels.

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

I knew spurfan would get Stockholm syndrome with this fuck

face it our young promising core isn’t so young or promising

[Robz4000]

look at the bright side: Spurs only gave up 11 points in the quarter with that line up. Maybe Flopovich will play Murray/White together more now.

:lol not a chance

[sasaint]

look at the bright side: Spurs only gave up 11 points in the quarter with that line up. Maybe Flopovich will play Murray/White together more now.

And Lonnie is getting more burn, AND Bryn less. I think Becky finally has the Old Asshole's ear.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Awesome D by Beli the last couple of plays. Just fucking AWESOME! :lol

[Leetonidas]

:cry were back boys :cry

[JPB]

Patty DaCloser

[sasaint]

Patty making layups is a good omen.

[Spurtacular]

This is why I don't like Mills and Forbes compared in the same breath. Forbes wouldn't be doing this sh**.

[ace3g]

I missed Metu imitating Poeltl's Euro step. :lmao


I'll tape the Post game.... Hopefully they have it on there... This is not on FSSW so I get no Replays.



https://twitter.com/spurs/status/1223812684271050752

[Ron Swanson]

Patty with 11 pts in 3 minutes.

[ZeusWillJudge]

look at the bright side: Spurs only gave up 11 points in the quarter with that line up. Maybe Flopovich will play Murray/White together more now.


I wouldn't bet on it. How many times have we seen a player play great one game and then get disappeared for the next five?

[tbdog]

Playing faster. Playing the backcourt we should have played from the first pre season game. Play ball denial defense.

[twincam]

Amazing how the flow is without Forbes.

[spurs1990]

Keldon Johnson is so hype on every great basket

[spursparker9]

Patty "Australia Blur" Mills

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

Mills has 11 points in three and half minutes, the same the Hornets had all last quarter.

[RC_Drunkford]

Dejuante and BELLI in to start the 4th... lol


Beli is still miles better than Forbes on both ends

[RC_Drunkford]

I wouldn't bet on it. How many times have we seen a player play great one game and then get disappeared for the next five?

Don't destroy my hopes. That's all we got left

[sasaint]

I wouldn't bet on it. How many times have we seen a player play great one game and then get disappeared for the next five?


you mean like Lonnie earlier this season?

[ZeusWillJudge]

Beli is still miles better than Forbes on both ends


That's a shit choice to have to make. Especially with both of them on the same team.

[ZeusWillJudge]

you mean like Lonnie earlier this season?

I mean like lots of people. Think about how many times Bertans got disappeared after having a great game. I've never understood that about Pop.

[spurs1990]

Forbes out of the rotation equals young three sharing the court

[Mugen]

The first and only time we'll ever see Lonnie/Murray/Derrick on the court together and it was beautiful.

Of course loser ass Beli had to be on the court but just seeing those 3 guys on the court brings up so many emotions about what could have been this year...sigh....

Hopefully we'll get to see them really play together once the old man is gone.

[dbestpro]

Forbes - 2 minutes in the 2nd half. lol

[sasaint]

On consecutive possessions Dijon shows why he is a SG not a PG.

[ZeusWillJudge]

:lol Great pass by DJ.

Total airball, lands in LMA's hands.

[sasaint]

Forbes - 2 minutes in the 2nd half. lol

I honestly think Becky finally has Pop's ear on Bryn and Lonnie.

[hoopdreams11]

come on pop KJ time

[Robz4000]

:rollin no Forbes = 40 point swing

[sasaint]

Dumbmar doing Dumbmar things.

[ZeusWillJudge]

:rollin no Forbes = 40 point swing


Forbes is one of those players that makes everybody better. When he's on the bench.

[Ron Swanson]

I honestly think Becky finally has Pop's ear on Bryn and Lonnie.

I hope so.

[RC_Drunkford]

Can't believe Forbes has only played 14 minutes. Has to be a season low. Of course he will be back to his usual 28 minutes in the next game

[Ron Swanson]

Forbes in for garbage time.

[sasaint]

How much did Dumbmar contribute to the turnaround?

[ace3g]

Keldon and Metu time!!!

[JPB]

Forbes in, still hopes for Charlotte.

[sasaint]

Big run with Forbes, Rudy and LMA on the bench.

[Darius Bieber]

This is one of those games where, 5-6 years ago, we would have rested our entire starting line up and still would have won by 20+.

[313]

no forbes no problem :wow

[ace3g]

https://twitter.com/AirlessJordan/status/1223815224492527616

[ace3g]

Keldon with the strong move!!!!

[sasaint]

Keldon's first NBA points?

[dbestpro]

Forbes playing mop up duty just as the force of life intended.

[JPB]

Forbes with the dagger!!

[Mugen]

So frustrating to see Murray and White dominate while playing together....

:lol what could have been this season...

[Ron Swanson]

Forbes with the dagger!!

30+ minutes next game.

[GB20]

Keldon looks taller to me.

[Spurtacular]

Who was that small gay Spur on the bench going crazy on every score?

[r0drig0lac]

no Forbes = win

[vander]

Would be fun to see LWIV Murray and White all get 30+ minutes per game

[paperboy77]

TMVs grades will be easy today. Pop gets an A++++ for doing the obvious thing and benching Steph Curry-light. No need to grade anything else.

Didn't see Pop's post game interview. I hope he doesn't say Bryn was injured and that's he's proud of the team for stepping up and picking up the slack for their star SG.

Sad thinking about what could have been this season if we just started white and murray at the guard spots with patty and lonnie backing them up :cry

Dejounte and White just destroyed the hornets on the defensive end in the 3rd :cry

[Mugen]

Bryn and Pop looking absolutely fucking miserable during the Spurs big run in the 2nd half felt so fucking good.

God, I hate those two pieces of shit so much :lol

[Jordan Jackson]

They finally get Forbes off the floor but it's probably too late to save the season. They threw away a lot of winnable games playing this guy major minutes. Who ever is responsible for that decision probably shouldn't be in a decision making position.

Exactly who do you think that is tbh? :lol

[SpurSpike]

Damn good game by Peoltl. Was fun watching him eurostep and put down a left handed floating dunk!

[Genovaswitness]

face it our young promising core isn’t so young or promising

I still give Murray one more season before declaring him a bust

dumbmar is high dollar empty calories. dogshit player

[Mugen]

Dejounte would be so much better playing off of Derrick...and vice versa...(but more so for Dejounte).......

Those guys should be legit pissed about how much of their development was robbed from them this season.

[jbspurs]

When you say "Forbes" and "floater" together, it has a totally different meaning.

Both stinks!

[jbspurs]

30+ minutes next game.

:spin

[RC_Drunkford]

Forbes 40.4% FG 36.3% from 3

Murray 48.6% FG 35.5% from 3

White 46.4% FG 38.3% from 3


:pop: "Analytics are a hoax"

[Mugen]

Apparently Pop never heard or saw

Jerry West Gail Goodrich

Walt Frazier Earl Monroe

Isiah Thomas Joe Dumars

Chauncey Billups and Richard Hamilton

It only ends and Begins with Stephen Curry and Klay Thompson and he thinks Byrn is Stephen Curry....He has said this...

It's one of the most egregious coaching fuck ups this sports century tbh.

Just imagine if TP and Manu never even sniffed a minute together...This garbage coach has robbed the fans of a really fun Spurs season...

[jeebus]

Can't believe Forbes has only played 14 minutes. Has to be a season low. Of course he will be back to his usual 28 minutes in the next game

Forbes is gonna storm into Poop's office with his evidence and demand more playing time or else he's going to the press. Gary Neal running the point, Matt Boner, Jeff Errors, Bryn Forbes. I wonder who the next piece of shit that gets consistent minutes will be.

I'm not saying Pop has coached a perfect season, but could you be any more dramatic?

Pop is a fucking fool

Nah, Dex. It's not even hyperbole.

You've gotten used to it so you just accept it as normal.

But Pop's fuck ups this year have to be highlighted...over and over again...otherwise you just get fat Spurfan apathy. And I won't let that happen....not on my watch.

Finally an “easy” win

[Jordan Jackson]

Exactly who do you think that is tbh? :lol

I'm trying to be diplomatic and not shit on the old man. Pop's a good dude. Lets be honest any other coach in this league pulls this stunt with Forbes, they'd be fired by all star weekend.

[tbdog]

Please, someone Gif the play 8:14 in the 1st by Zeller. I saw that live and I was so mad how useless Forbes is. Bridges easily beat Forbes for a finger roll and missed it. But Forbes. man.

Forbes is one of those players that makes everybody better. When he's on the bench.
I laughed at this
Thanks

damn

[Dejounte]

Keldon looks taller to me.

He is taller than DeRozan by about an inch is what it looks like

[ragas]

Hernangomez is not even a starter. You can easily defend him better and Poeltl was out of position a lot of times when he scored. It's not like Hernangomez was making jump shots, he cooked him in the post. You sniffers really have no clue

Amazing. You didn't learn your lesson from the last game.

[ragas]

Hernangomez/Zeller > LMA/Turdle

Nope

[TimDunkem]

Nope

I was joking. LMA was trash though.

[Shakril]

RC Drunkford and TimDunkem have made it their personal mission to trash Poeltl for no reason. They probably would even trash Tim Duncan if someone had scored on him a few buckets.
But in their argument they totally ignore the fact, that with Poeltl on the court the Spurs are MUCH better defense team, as seen against charlotte.

Please to you both, stop commenting, it is obvious you dont know anything about basketball.

[21209]

Pop is always behind the curve when it comes to these things.

I remember how long it took him to give Tiago Splitter rotation minutes all those years ago, long after it became obvious.

I'm already on the record as saying that Poeltl has been good and better than I thought he would be. I just wouldn't give him the type of deal the Spurs like to give out these days.

Your obsession with him is noted though.

lol I've been on record saying the Spurs should keep Poeltl and that he should be part of the future core, but whatever Laker fan

Don't you just love it when they make shit up and then blame it on you?
