TLDR

tl;dr: Spurs are a mess. Our defense sucks. Aldridge and DeRozan don't fit together. We have too many guards.

Yep and all those should be bolded with capital letters.

+Worst starting 2 guard in the league, no true SFs, no depth, senile coach/GM, coaching staff of yes-men, etc...

28th in 3 point attempts. That tells the whole story in today's NBA.

How is that possible when we have Steph Curry Forbes as a starter? The dude is a dead eye shooter :lol

Thanks PATFO. Turned a historic org to a fucking shitpile in a matter of two years. No wonder kawhi left

[gambit1990]

trading for demar was such a blunder.

[DeRozan m8]

PATFO think they can just kick back and ride on the past, not realising its tarnishing their golden image along the way.

I'm done with these drunks

How about how nephew sinking a historic franchise.

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

I pretty much agree with most of the article.

Our backcourt sucks. I don't think it's a coincidence that we suddenly looked a lot better when Murray went down. He's still not there as a facilitator. Mills shouldn't be getting the minutes he gets, and Forbes should be waving a towel from the bench most nights. Serious backcourt holes, and low and behold, we're lacking the "long 3"...again.

We might possibly finish last in the division next year.

I love how the media is so clueless about virtually everything Spurs that they continue to absolve the genius of blame with nonsense like: "Even the great Gregg Popovich had a difficult time solving this problem" . . . as if he's not the president of basketball operations and it's not a logistics/structural issue.

Instead of acknowledging that Scumbag and the genius are the two primary reasons for the team's plight, they're too busy slobbering over them.

We turned into a fucking shitpile because Kawhi left...

Nah, that just took away the path to championship contention.

Had they insisted on Gasol instead of Green in the trade and attached a 2nd to Belinelli to salary dump him instead of Bertans, this could still be a solid team . . .

Starters: Gay, Green, Aldridge, DeRozan, Murray

2nd unit: Mills, Bertans, White, Poeltl, Walker

The irony is, their goal with the trade was to be just that, but they undermined it with their own stupidity.

We’re back......The rise is going to be epic. Doco in 30 years called the last rap dance.....

[Dirks_Finale]

He needs more chucks. 6 per game now, get him up to 12 per game :lol

I only wish you would left with him.

[RC_Drunkford]

if you start your 5 best players your team would look good. But if you play your 13th best player the 3rd most minutes then of course your team will look like garbage. Blame the coach
