Aldridge still out. Poeltl also sidelined.
ESPN has the Spurs playoff chances at 13.4%. Basketball-Reference has them at 9.9%. 538 has their chances at 2%.
Need a win, tbh.
Here's Kori's preview: https://www.spurstalk.com/preview-prediction-san-antonio-spurs-charlotte-hornets-march-3-2020/

Starting Lineup:
Murray/Walker/DDR/Lyles/Eubanks
Bench:
White/Forbes/Johnson/Gay/Metu
Last 6 Minutes Lineup:
Murray/White/Walker/Gay/Lyles
I'd tune in if those were the lineups or something similar which means no Forbes in SL and no DDR\Forbes\Mills to end the game.

Tom Orsborn: In addition to Aldridge (shoulder) and Poeltl (knee), #Spurs will be without Belinelli tonight due to illness, per club’s latest injury report. Metu also remains out on G League assignment (https://hoopshype.com/social/). 5 hours (https://hoopshype.com/rumor/1324157/)
Maybe pop wants Beckys first start to be at the beginning of next season when she's hired so the NBA can hype it.
He probably wants to make sure her first start is a win.
Which of these announcements would put more butts in seats?
"Come see Tim Duncan coach his first NBA game, first in franchise history"
OR
"Come see Becky coach her first NBA game, first in league history"

Gonna give Timmy a pass for stalling the tank but glad his debut is a success
If he wins it after giving Keldon 15 minutes, I'll live with it. At least that is doing something to improve for next season.

Spurs are lucky Rozier's shot didn't fall for an and-1.
DDR had been playing pretty good down the stretch, but that last possession was shit.

DeRozan did all he could to lose that game but it just wasn't enough. Hated TD's closing rotation but otherwise he pushed all the right buttons.

My fault. It's easy to forget Keldon is even on the team. :D
It's amazing that Keldon got real minutes in a real game and the franchise didn't crumble. The way Pop has avoided him, I was so sure it would.
:lol Yeah, me too!

I was just about to comment that he was playing solid in the closing minutes, and he goes full retard. You get the ball with a 1 point lead and 42 seconds, you HAVE to get the 2-for-1 so you don't leave them a chance to win the game with a 2-point shot. Fucking DDR holds onto it and then doesn't even get a good shot. He's a moron.

That dunk by Murray after the game had ended was a symbol of being freed from Pop. With Pop in the building, he would never do that shit because of Pop's "moral high ground" being against shit like that. But all of a sudden he feels free to do a windmill dunk at the end of a game.

Congrats to Coach Timmy for 1st W! Saving the franchise as always. Couldn't doing anything flashy given the circumstances, roster etc., but winning the game methodically is very pleasing.

That other dunk he did when he was heating up would have most likely gotten him benched by Pop for most of the game

I'm so pleased with Keldon getting 15 minutes of real game time. Never would have happened with Pop.
Lonnie really had a pretty decent game, except for the fact that he can't finish around the rim. If he can start converting inside 3 feet (and not clanking dunks) his numbers will look a LOT better.

Tim actually did a pretty good tight-rope walk tonight. The absence of LMA, Poodle and Marco gave him some leeway that he exploited, most obviously by playing Keldon over 15 minutes in Marco's stead. But he didn't make wholesale changes that would discombobulate the midgets, or piss off the Old Asshole. Yet his game management/rotations were appreciably different. Plus the players, no doubt, felt a lot more freedom. At first I was a little surprised that he had Bryn out there at crunch time, but then I realized that he probably couldn't bench the midget without suffering some repercussions.

Mainly because he doesn't talk down to reporters like they're pieces of shit.

Keldon looked good. Solid presence, active yet inexperienced on D, hustle all around and some big boy points. He's a much better finisher at the rim than most of our players, I'm glad we got to see him tonight under Tim since he'll go back to the Austin doghouse until next season. Lonnie was good... Needs to work a lot on his finishing but the tools are really there. Rudy Gay is good as done and the latest awful contract by PATFO, we'll probably need to shed a second or first round pick to get rid of it.
I also don't like this "coach by committee" bullshit. You need a clear hierarchy and since Timmy was clearly the main coach tonight, it just comes out looking like a sad excuse to not hurt Becky's feelings until Pop finally retires and Timmy is handed the reigns. Hopefully Pop misses another game soon and this changes.

We don't use picks to move bad contracts. We just keep paying them to go away.
I'm not sure Tim wants the reins.

There were reports that Tim was active in personnel decisions while he was playing. I think he would have a lot of stroke if he became the head coach. More to the point, I don't think he would take the job if they didn't agree to that.

LOL. I see what you did there. I don't want to judge too much from one candid photo, but that look sure as shit looks like Becky can't believe whatever it is Tim is doing. But camera angles being what they are, she could just as easily be looking up at the scoreboard or something. Or maybe she's checking out that one unicorn dred on Tim's head.

Clearly looking behind Tim on the side, probably shot clock or fouls.
