Him and Derozan are cancerous together because of their inability to shoot the three. Kills the spacing. Both also tend to ballhog and chuck

Spurs are slowly assembling a team of expensive role players with all these middling outside-of-the-top-ten picks. Not bad enough to draft a true difference maker, not good enough for playoffs. Treadmill territory. Thanks Pop for trying to stay "competitive" after Nephew wanted out

TimDunkem

remember when people were thinking "just wait till we get derrick white back". thinking we were gonna be that much better...

i knew it wouldn't matter much tho because things don't usually work that way.

i know people wanna overreact every lose and say blow it up but still a lot of time left in the season for learning. although it would be nice to be like 10-20 games above .500.

Terrible loss. McConnel was shooting over Mills and Gay at the end. Mills and Gay constantly missed open 3s. Johnson benched for the whole overtime. Pacers had 98 points at the end of the third. They shot over 55%. Spurs are having a hard time defending guards. Three bench players just scored over 50 points against the Spurs. Over a third of their points were scored that would never sniff and playoff rotation. That's not on Murray and White. That's on coaching and game plan. It's so incredibly obvious that the Spurs have not figured out how the defend since that Italian assistant left.

tim_duncan_fan

I would say we need to give Vassell a little more responsibility, a little more of Patty's and Demar's on-ball usage, but I seriously don't want this team to win any more games this season. It's done and we need major player-personnel changes. Trade Dejounte for a first rounder in this coming draft. Maybe Lonnie too.

Again this team would be so much better off without these vets.

Looking at the schedule, something like 5-20 over the next 25 games is realistic. No way we get close to 10 wins during that stretch.
It's about to get really ugly. I predict the worst losing streak in franchise history.

Yeah it’s going to get ugly you got LMA balling with the Nets you got a unhappy Lyles on the team you lost what 7 of your last 9 games played at home an now most games on the road sprinkled with back to back. You got a coach who doesn’t have a clue and the young players are going to get feed up real quick ie Murray, Luka, and Walker

Even though Indiana was minus their three leading scorers they're still an NBA team. Think about that. The Spurs took an NBA to OT and only lost by 6. That's a damn good feat

We aren’t a fucking contender. Cut the vets minutes significantly, play and develop the young players, and plan for the draft. Holy fuck, it’s that simple. Also, once more:
fuck Gay and fuck Patty.

Buy them out and let them go to contenders and play the kids...

I don’t know what changes Pop was talking about at the beginning of the season. Instead of Forbes/Belli, it’s Mills/Rudy. It’s still over reliance on offense vs defense.

And do we have good defensive guards? It’s like all the guards beat us. Vassell could be that instead of Patty getting abused every night.

I'm as big a Luka doubter as anyone on this board.

But I don't blame him entirely for his performance tonight. Any big who plays with Rudy and wants to shoot will get frozen out. Hell, Gay used to completely freeze out White back in his 2nd year, every rebound was 'point rudy time' and he wouldn't even give up the ball.

And players who don't get passed the ball when they should in the offense, end up rushing and taking bad shots to try and make up for it. On top of other mistakes.

Even as a Luka doubter the team would be better off if his was playing, to figure out what he's got before it's too late.

Look at Pop's terrible handling of White and Murray. All they had to go on to see if they could play together was the bubble, an atypical situation. Because Pop refused to play them together the rest of the season. Now they're stuck, and it's unclear how well they can play together, at least with DDR mucking things up.

jesus the Spurs have been bad since returning from covid.

At some point we gotta start questioning why this team is bad on defense, White this year has been below average on defense, one screen and he is out of the play.

Murray, the last few games or so also hasnt been that good, overplaying too much at times, he still needs to get stronger, he gets abused quite a bit in the post

Poelt is a really good rim protector but he really struggles at times defending the pick and roll.

The most frustrating thing about this team is them jogging back on defense (Gay is especially guilty of this) while the other team pushes it down getting easy layups and threes.

Keldon below average-average.

Vassell has the same issue as Murray, really good but needs stronger in the offseason

Derozan, Mills, Gay on defense yuck.

Young guys gotta step up. Patty and Rudy will continue to play down the stretch until the young guys can show on a consistent basis they can be counted on and not shrivel up. Luka had an opportunity tonight and didn't do shit with his minutes.

Does it matter? Even when he does, he still got benched for several games, even while the vets muck it up

There's a not small chance that we get a better pick than last years' if I'm not mistaken. And the way the team is playing, it gets bigger... And then there's the lottery odds. A stroke of luck, and a top pick could be ours. Shame Stern isn't commish anymore, he'd rig the lotto for us (on top of fixing a lot of other problems that the :lol modern NBA :lol is suffering from).

Yeah, I actually wouldn't mind Stern being around these days. I feel like our lottery luck would probably be better, and also, I feel the rules would have favoured the Spurs more if he was still the commissioner. What year did Silver take over? I don't remember. I really hope the Spurs can get a higher pick than 11th this time around.

The '13-'14 season. I remember it very well since the Sterling saga happened that year. Also I remember being bitter that the last LOB trophy Stern handed out was to the '13 Heat.

If I'm not mistaken, Silver took over for the 2013-14 season.

That does piss me off. The Spurs were once the only team to use the colors black and white. Now just about every team has their own black jersey. Nets stole the Spurs colors 9-10 years ago when they moved to Brooklyn.
