Game Thread: Spurs vs Grizzlies — May 19, 2021 - 6:30pm CT

[Spurs Homer]

Pretty sure pop will sit gorgie soon

[spurstalk123456]

demar only has 1 assist as well damn

[J_Paco]

Dieng and Gay are the only veterans I would even consider bringing back. I would rather his (Gay's) minutes go to Samanic, but you'll need some veteran presence on this team next year.

[Kurgan]

Grizzlies have no buisness being here:rollin

Neither team does

[spurraider21]

Murray is scared on offense... it's ugly

[LaMarcus Bryant]

EDP has gotta be pissed at this performance

[8sy21vd]

Spurs battling but Memphis is awful. Gorgui a keeper next season. This could go down to a Demar iso midrange. A fitting end to the Demar era?

[bdictjames]

Yeah, I would take Gay over Demar. Demar is a pretty bad black hole in there.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Dieng "I know the Grizz's Playbook"
While the Spurs don’t have one

[SpurSpike]

Pop should close with Dieng and Poeltl together imo but he doesn't have the balls

[3&D_TBH]

Murray is scared on offense... it's ugly
Yup. He can’t shoot and he has hesitation written all over his offensive game

[BatManu20]

Looking at the box score and blown away that this is even a game. Spurs entire roster is struggling mightily from the floor except for Poeltl.

[Spurs Homer]

Warriors and lakers trembling in their shorts rt now watching this

[slick'81]

I just hope the spurs win to keep dropping out of that lottery

[PhantomDashCam]

One thing about Gay is that he isn’t afraid to shoot. 12 shots in 13 minutes. Why would he want to play anywhere else where he may only get 5-6 a game?

[YoungbuckMurray]

The thing is both are defensive only bigs. No offense and no real maestro to run anything.
Dieng is probably the only guy that can hit a 3 tonight

[spurraider21]

Pop should close with Dieng and Poeltl together imo but he doesn't have the balls
would probably be best tbh

[J_Paco]

Wide-the-fuck open shooters. Pathetic ass defense and team for that matter.

[*Goes and checks boxscore*]

Their defense is the only reason they're still in this game, TBH, and the fact that Memphis isn't a high volume three - point team.

[Barfunk]

Crooked bail out call for the Grizz

[ace3g]

Spurs need 6 more 3s to have a chance.

[Spurs Homer]

Gorgie

thats how you rebound!

[ace3g]

There's 1 !!!

[slick'81]

One of these teams is actually going to get to play for the playoffs...gospursgo

[ace3g]

Spurs take the lead 80-79

Brooks answers 80-81

[Obi Juan Kenobi]

Finally these guys wake up...

[Uriel]

LET'S GOOOOOOOOOO

[ace3g]

Down to four 3s needed.

[R. DeMurre]

19' jump shot... now's not the time.

[Thomas82]

I see it's tied at 83.

[Leetonidas]

Fucking Valancunias getting away with murder out there

[Robz4000]

:lol Spurs getting raped by Dillon fucking Brooks

[slick'81]

This game will go down to the last possesion

[YoungbuckMurray]

Letting Brooks go off LOL, how am I not shocked

[emanueldavidginobili]

Keldon with slow ass feet.

[adidas11]

It's a nail biter of a game! This play in format is nerve wracking!!!

[ace3g]

BTW earlier in week I looked to see if Brooks was a FA, unfortunately he is not.

Feb 6, 2020 — In the midst of a three-team trade that has been leaked every which way short of becoming official, the Memphis Grizzlies got some internal business taken care of by agreeing to a three-year, $35 million contract extension with Dillon Brooks, the team announced on Wednesday.

[spurraider21]

brooks is basically playing like what we want keldon to be

at least KJ hit a 3, but yeesh he's getting torched

[YoungbuckMurray]

Fucking Valancunias getting away with murder out there
Ya not sure how that wasn’t an illegal screen on that mid range 2 by Brooks a few possessions back

[J_Paco]

'Probably an illegal screen.....' - Doris Burke as she's praising a Dillon Brooks highlight.

SMDH

[Chomag]

Murray passing up the open 3 just to miss the contested midrange.... Uhg

[sananspursfan21]

Doris has pointed out so many missed calls on Memphis. We can’t blame the refs for a loss if it happens but man. Can’t help but wonder if they called this game fairly

[Dejounte]

Y'all are acting like Dillon is a scrub. He averaged 17 ppg this year and plays awesome defense. Personally hope the Spurs go after him this summer.

[Dejounte]

BTW earlier in week I looked to see if Brooks was a FA, unfortunately he is not.

Ahh well damn.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Murray passing up the open 3 just to miss the contested midrange.... Uhg
Been hanging around Demar too much

[timtonymanu]

Dieng developed a 3 point shot. What's DeFrozen's excuse for not? Yet his defenders blame others for poor spacing lol.

[spurraider21]

Murray passing up the open 3 just to miss the contested midrange.... Uhg
all game. its been maddening. even been hesitating or double clutching w/ his 2 point shots

[Kurgan]

Spurs coaches should be fired for emphasizing midrangers with Murray's development in a league where every guard needs to be able to shoot threes.

[Kurgan]

Derozan blocked :lol

[FkLA]

Dillon Brooks is very annoying acting and looking but you have to respect his competitiveness, imo.

[spurstalk123456]

demar is getting sonned.. fuck!

[heyheymymy]

Does dillon Brooks have a coke tray under the bench or something dude is juiced

[emanueldavidginobili]

Keldon with slow ass feet.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Hey Lonnie on Brooks, Keldon getting blown by

[Adam Lambert]

This offense is absolute garbage.

[ace3g]

Another reason I want DeRozan off the team. Even if he is getting fouled (and he does take a lot of contact) he gets no respect -- usually results in numbers for other team.

[Spurs Homer]

Oh oh

purtle returning

[ace3g]

Here comes the challenge reverse...

[R. DeMurre]

yeah, take out a red hot Dieng..

[3&D_TBH]

Brooks with the clamps on DD. Demar with a terrible game

[Leetonidas]

Oh look another coach about to successfully use a challenge while Pop forgets he has one

[Spurs Homer]

Pop removes gorgie

called it

also memphis immediately challenges

pop never challenged jacksons bullshit 3 free throws

[8sy21vd]

Grizzlies asking to lose this game lol

[spurstalk123456]

they will get this call. we're in trouble now

[YoungbuckMurray]

Good challenge by Memphis while pop will keep his in his pocket all night, because challenges aren’t real basketball

[boutons_deux]

brooks takin them home

[Kurgan]

Another reason I want DeRozan off the team. Even if he is getting fouled (and he does take a lot of contact) he gets no respect -- usually results in numbers for other team.

Respect is earned. He spent a lot of early Toronto years yapping and screaming at the officials. You can build a negative reputation in the NBA with the officials.

[Uriel]

Of course the Grizzlies challenge the one bad call they get, but Pop doesn't the million bad calls we got.

[paperboy77]

Love it. Pop subbing a guy that's helping SA.

[diego]

im watching a crappy stream with no audio, but it feels like the calls have been terribly one sided for memphis all game... id rather lose because we are terrible, but the refs are making me root hard for the spurs

[spurraider21]

Dillon Brooks is very annoying acting and looking but you have to respect his competitiveness, imo.
reminds me of tony allen but with competent offense

[timtonymanu]

:pop: What's a coach's challenge?

[SAGirl]

Dieng has played well. Could he have helped more this season? I’d bring him back. Great veteran.

[paperboy77]

WTF wouldn't Pop challenge Kelces obvious illegal block earlier? Because are shitty assistant coaches are too busy sucking up to Pop.

[Spurs Homer]

Gorgie aint re-signing

dont blame him

[ace3g]

Ball don't ...

[heyheymymy]

Ball don't lie

[timtonymanu]

Hopefully Dieng lands on a winning team next season. Became a fan of his just from his short stint here.

[200 miles]

I can't believe I'm saying this but we need Patty and Rudy out there :lol

Then we are truly fucked for the next half decade if that's the case.

[SAGirl]

I’ve become a Dillon Brooks fan got to say. Has shown heart. Was giving it to GSW b4 he fouled out.

[Chomag]

See what can happen if you challenge a call Pop!

[Dverde]

Grizz coaching staff would have this spurs team in a sixth playoff spot

[timtonymanu]

Fucking Grizzlies don't want this game either

[boutons_deux]

Dieng has played well. Could he have helped more this season? I’d bring him back. Great veteran.

and he doesn't know the "system" LOL very well, yet

[Kurgan]

Murray's offense is so bad. It's like having a shittier Rajon Rondo

[ace3g]

Dejounte might get a triple double tonight.

check

[Spurs Homer]

Fuck purtle

[Seventyniner]

BALL DON'T LIE

[emanueldavidginobili]

WTF is Poeltl doing my god

[YoungbuckMurray]

Yet JV can move all over the place

[ace3g]

Spurs gain momentum and give it right back...

[Leetonidas]

Shitting the bed after being gifted opportunity after opportunity:lol

[Dejounte]

Good fight tonight. Liked the game from DJ, didn't shoot well but he's one of the main reasons this game was close at all.

[Spurs9]

Could we have just kept Dieng in?

[MultiTroll]

missed it WTF was the call on Purtle

[MultiTroll]

Could we have just kept Dieng in?

[Kurgan]

4-18 Dumbar
4-17 Murray

Mid-range 90s ball taking the big L tonight. Great job from PATFO for building our offense around this archaic bullshit

[emanueldavidginobili]

I wish Pop played Dieng at the 4 over Keldon here.

[timtonymanu]

Go Fathead!

[ace3g]

Give up easy 3...

[spurstalk123456]

fathead killing us

[Leetonidas]

Is this faggot going to just keep clanking shots over and over again?? God dammit fuck derozan I can't say it enough

[Kurgan]

Dumbar choking in clutch time.

[Robz4000]

Fuck DePression. Even Fathead has developed a 3-point shot.

[Spurs Homer]

This is what i was saying about memphis

slow mo would have missed against gs

now purtle getting raped again

[hoopdreams11]

why take Deing out? DDR with the bad then the miss

[NASpurs]

Haven't watched shit but I see Playoff DeRozan is leading our team to the lottery :tu

[YoungbuckMurray]

Demar just has complete tunnel vision.

[MultiTroll]

Bitch ass Defrozan leaves Fathead open by 20 feet then chucks up another forced brick.

Fucking 2 point deficit now 5.

[timtonymanu]

4-18 Dumbar
4-17 Murray

Mid-range 90s ball taking the big L tonight. Great job from PATFO for building our offense around this archaic bullshit

And unfortunately it will continue. I can already see it happening to Keldon and his game. This coach that refuses his centers to shoot 3's.

[R. DeMurre]

Oh, the irony of Kyle Anderson hitting three and DeRozan missing twos...

[emanueldavidginobili]

I mean JJ and JV are way to big for this lineup.

[duncan2k5]

Derozan is freaking horrible... And this is who ppl wanna sign back? A DeMar who will be older and worse and led us to the lottery twice in a row?

[timtonymanu]

It's okay guys, we might need Derozan's iso closing in this game.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Also I know Lonnie wasn't playing good but completely abandoning him is BS

[Texas_Ranger]

Cant wait to see the spurs giving this retard a new contract.

[hoopdreams11]

hope we get a good pick for this tank

[timtonymanu]

Derozan is freaking horrible... And this is who ppl wanna sign back? A DeMar who will be older and worse and led us to the lottery twice in a row?

There's enough data to show why it's a mistake yet there are some dumbasses that still want him back

[ace3g]

The amount of energy Spurs have had to exert the past 2 seasons is mind-boggling. They either have large leads that evaporate. Or fight their way back to almost come back and win a game.

Again the amount of energy the Spurs exert...

[LeBowen]

Look at the bright side guys.

Better to lose against Memphis than to get shit on by the Warriors.

We keep our pick.

Hopefully Brian Wrong realizes Demar has to go.

[Kurgan]

Fuck DePression. Even Fathead has developed a 3-point shot.

Every player that leaves the Spurs develops a three point shot. It's almost like there's something wrong with the overall coaching philosophy in SA

[Sugus]

Also I know Lonnie wasn't playing good but completely abandoning him is BS

Bro I'm screaming at the screen!! Why the fuck do you let DeFrozen stay in the game as he chucks and shits all over the court, and bench Lonnie instead of letting him get over his slump? This is surely going to do wonders for Lonnie's confidence.... Fuck

[timtonymanu]

Murray develop a 3 point shot, please. We don't need Derozan 2.0 with your sorry ass.

[Leetonidas]

Game over. Good job Instagram baller

[R. DeMurre]

Imagine if the Spurs had a 6'11" guy who shot the three and really knew the Memphis defensive rotation better than anybody-- what a weapon that guy could be!

[Robz4000]

DePression, Pop, and Mills need to be gone next season.

[hoopdreams11]

Demar can't keep up with slo mo on D

[timtonymanu]

Fuck yeah Grizzlies!!!

[MVPCues]

Spurs are just outclassed. They fought hard, but they didn't have enough composure to make shots. Too many shots had DESPERATION written all over them. I hope for some big changes this summer.

[bbarry]

oh well rip. spurs wouldn't have a shot against the Jazz in a series, whatosever. or basically anyone else.

[ace3g]

Even off missed 3s, we can't corral rebound...

[slick'81]

The amount of energy Spurs have had to exert the past 2 seasons is mind-boggling. They either have large leads that evaporate. Or fight their way back to almost come back and win a game.

Again the amount of energy the Spurs exert...


Losing is losing,tbh

[emanueldavidginobili]

If Pop and a brain he'd go Dieng and JP at the 4 and the 5

[slick'81]

:lol Any idiot who wants derozan back at any cost

[spurstalk123456]

where was this intensity all quarter?

[Spurs Homer]

Gay giving up that rebound as he has all season

pop just continued to overplay him and bury the young guys

[Rick Von Braun]

Gay is very inefficient and old, but still has the testicular fortitude to get a bucket

[timtonymanu]

:lol Any idiot who wants derozan back at any cost

They get so fooled by his regular season success all the fucking time.

[R. DeMurre]

ah, the mid range...

[Robz4000]

Fuck DePression so much. Up there as one of my most hated Spurs players ever.

[Spurs9]

Fathead doing fathead things, and our team imploding as soon as Poetles comes back in :lol

[YoungbuckMurray]

Get derozan off this fucking team

[J_Paco]

Every player that leaves the Spurs develops a three point shot. It's almost like there's something wrong with the overall coaching philosophy in SA

Cory Joseph says 'hello.'

Well, pretty poetic way for DeMar's time in San Antonio to come to an end.....

[KaiRMD1]

Wow, this team sucks so much, they don't even know how to foul!?

[K...]

ok, decent game. mental midgets doing as mental midgets do

[spurstalk123456]

damn

[PhantomDashCam]

We just lost 10 seconds not fouling…

[spurraider21]

rip

[YoungbuckMurray]

This team is so unprepared they can’t even foul

[Chomag]

Lmao Demar

[emanueldavidginobili]

This is a very different game with Derrick White, too bad he's made of glass.

[Spurs Homer]

Lol

NOW pop tries to coach

hey

he gets to take his coachs challenge into the off season!

[3&D_TBH]

Demar really let us down tonight

[bdictjames]

It makes you wonder if Demar takes this losing seriously...

[Kurgan]

Ideal result, need to remove the cancer that is Derozan as soon as possible without delay. Will have a better pick too.

[LeBowen]

DeStar delivering that 11th pick.

Finally this misery is over, can enjoy watching some actual basketball over the next month.

[KaiRMD1]

If DeRozan is gone after this, it wouldn't be any sooner.

[spurraider21]

We just lost 10 seconds not fouling…
this happens to us all the fucking time :lol

[Rick Von Braun]

The silver lining... marginally better draft position. DeRozan off this team... I am tired to see him choking in the playoffs. Seriously... tired!

[adidas11]

Stick a fork in it. The Spurs are done.

[Darius Bieber]

Thank God this abortion of a season is over

[Beartrucci]

Season ended by Jonas Valanciunas :lol

[J_Paco]

Rudy Gay has balls of steel, man.

I wish Lonnie had his mentality on offense....

[SPURt]

Pop put Patty/Gay/DeRozan in to put this team out of their misery. Good riddance DeRozan. One on one, dribble, dribble, dribble, contested shot hopefully ends with this terrible season.

[YoungbuckMurray]

This team is so unprepared they can’t even foul

[TDfan2007]

Rudy is such a pro

[timtonymanu]

Stick a fork in it. The Spurs are done.

They were done since the Nephew trade

[twincam]

Waiting anxiously for this season to end. Of course they make a 3 far too late.

[Obi Juan Kenobi]

Rudy with the last gasp of this painful season...

[boutons_deux]

Demar really let us down tonight

his career playoff numbers have been below his season numbers. he's a loser

[slick'81]

They get so fooled by his regular season success all the fucking time.

he had a pretty damn good regular season but spurs refused to move the deadbeat. Hopefully that "capspace" pays off

[Spurs Homer]

Imagine of pop had left gorgie in

[slick'81]

Another L

[ace3g]

Wouldn't surprise me if Morant misses 2nd but we can't get rebound.

[Kurgan]

:lol inserting cold Lonnie in the last 8 sec of the game for a three

[Trill Clinton]

No more Rudy slander will be tolerated after tonight.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Sweet, sweet oblivion at last.

[J_Paco]

Season ended by Jonas Valanciunas :lol

You're acting like dude is a scrub. He's probably a top 10 center and better than every big on our squad.

[slick'81]

Mills,demar or rudy who comes back?

[KaiRMD1]

Thank god this season is finally over

[MVPCues]

Whelp, the only thing left now is hoping to see the Lakers and nephew lose.

[Leetonidas]

Relieved this shit show is over. Was not looking forward to any more nationally televised embarrassments.

[Kurgan]

Mills,demar or rudy who comes back?

Hopefully none of them

[MannyIsGod]

Mills,demar or rudy who comes back?

Hopefully none except patty as a coach

[Sugus]

:lol inserting cold Lonnie in the last 8 sec of the game for a three

That was honestly hilarious, Pop has a great sense of humor :lmao

[Robz4000]

Great thing we got all the young players real playoff experience though!

[Rick Von Braun]

Bingo!!

[J_Paco]

No more Rudy slander will be tolerated after tonight.

Only guy that wasn't afraid of the moment and just kept shooting/making tough shots.

He & Patty had good moments with the Spurs, but it's probably time to move on from both.

[Beartrucci]

You're acting like dude is a scrub. He's probably a top 10 center and better than every big on our squad.

You're right I hadn't payed attention to them this season. He's had a great season. Good job Jonas :lol Man he absolutely destroyed us tonight.

[mo7888]

Mercifully the season is over..

[rudwick]

Defrozen was the tank commander tonight.

[MannyIsGod]

Tonight said everything about wether or not they should resign demar.

[tim_duncan_fan]

No more Rudy slander will be tolerated after tonight.

It's never been Rudy's fault. He shoots because the young guys, across the board, either can't (Dejounte, Demar) or won't (Derrick, Lonnie, Keldon, Devin).

Same with Patty. Has a much bigger role than he should because young guys can't/won't step up.

SAD!

[timtonymanu]

Great thing we got all the young players real playoff experience though!

Yep Lonnie got to watch one of the worst playoff performers of all time do what he does best.

Edit: Lonnie sucked too but so much for "playoff experience."

[Trill Clinton]

It's never been Rudy's fault. He shoots because the young guys, across the board, either can't (Dejounte, Demar) or won't (Derrick, Lonnie, Keldon, Devin).

Same with Patty. Has a much bigger role than he should because young guys can't/won't step up.

SAD!

Exactly

[paperboy77]

What else is there to say.. DeMar fucked us. DeMar is just being no-nut demar. Pop too with his shitty stubbornness to stick with DD.

Oh well. At least now I can watch the rest of the season happily rooting against both LA teams until they lose.

[PhantomDashCam]

Fran must of been watching us tonight…

[NASpurs]

Tonight said everything about wether or not they should resign demar.

Just tonight?

[blizz]

Derozan was horrible and the rest of the Spurs are just as bad to bring it up the court and hand him the ball over and over o my for him to isolate and miss shot after shot. At some point freakin realize that he is off and has been off and try something else! Fuck.

[itzsoweezee]

This is what winning culture looks like. Thank you demar and popovich. The future looks bright and definitely not like this team is going to miss the playoffs for at least 5 straight seasons

[200 miles]

No more Rudy slander will be tolerated after tonight.

Even though he had more shot attempts than points and apparently one game eclipsing over an entire season, sure Trill, whatever you say.

[Capt Bringdown]

Murray is trash

[davi78239]

Welp that’s over with thankfully. On to the off season

[NASpurs]

Good thing we didn't tank! LMA retired and DeRozan led us to a high lottery pick to keep the treadmill going!

If our goal is to keep drafting role players, then job well done. :tu

[tim_duncan_fan]

Not a 10, 10, 10 triple double lmao!!! Murray!

[Texas_Ranger]

Derozan has snown what he is known for. It wasnt just tonight. People that think hes good probably also think westbrick can lead a team to a title.

Anyway, this team is shit. Should have tanked and fired the retard coach long time ago. But nooo, lets be happy with a shit 12th pick. Fuck you spurs.

[Beartrucci]

Good thing we didn't tank! LMA retired and DeRozan led us to a high lottery pick to keep the treadmill going!

Depressing as fuck, in a basketball sense of course. Such a stupid season on so many different levels

[John B]

You're acting like dude is a scrub. He's probably a top 10 center and better than every big on our squad.

Bbbut... Poeltl is top 10 defensive :lmao

[GAustex]

Rudy is a baller.
DDR has a beautiful game when it does not matter and has a weak mind.
The rest of the team needs to leap forward or else it will be tough.
It would be best if ddr and pop left.

Bbbut... Poeltl is top 10 defensive :lmao

We need to be nice to jakob, he doesnt even wanna play basketball.

Bbbut... Poeltl is top 10 defensive :lmao

dont forget better then gobert

[J_Paco]

You're right I hadn't payed attention to them this season. He's had a great season. Good job Jonas :lol Man he absolutely destroyed us tonight.

Poeltl getting in early foul trouble, again, didn't help matters.

He was wiping the floor and his ass with Eubanks until Pop finally pulled him.

Pop definitely should have given all Eubanks' minutes to Dieng and given Lonnie more of a chance to get out of his 'slump/cold start.'

It'll be interesting to see how he plays and uses Vassell and Walker IV next season. He definitely had too short of a leash on both at times & especially Vassell.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Derozan has snown what he is known for. It wasnt just tonight. People that think hes good probably also think westbrick can lead a team to a title.

Anyway, this team is shit. Should have tanked and fired the retard coach long time ago. But nooo, lets be happy with a shit 12th pick. Fuck you spurs.

One day, you hater. You'll see. You'll all see!

[Flawless]

Good lord that was fucking hard to watch, atleast there’s the lottery lmao

[J_Paco]

Jakob is probably a better defender, that has never been Jonas' strength, but Jonas is clearly better. He was better in Toronto too and has been given a lot more opportunity to produce since then.

IMO Spurs need to hit 10+ 3s in both play-in games to advance to playoffs.

Spurs only hit 8 3s and lost by 4.

We need shooters.

[bdictjames]

We have a terrible team tbh. But Demar should have played better.

[Floyd Pacquiao]

:lol looked up _eRozans stat line... yep I don’t even have to watch to know the outcome with him. :lol and people actually think we need that negative player to be some kind of iso closer? It’s like y’all don’t remember what kind of players it takes to actually win games. Players who shoot 3s and play D and do the intangibles not someone who does the total opposite:lol I’ve been harping on it for 3 years now and seal clapping spurs fan still can’t grasp it

He’ll probably ask to get traded :lmao

[JeffDuncan]

Couldn’t even get 100 points.

[spurraider21]

Dejounte might get a triple double tonight.
you werent wrong

[Bojo]

Well it was no blowout, rather a slow bleed. At least they fought back after that horrendous start.

Hope the learning experience will include
- Murray not further emulating Demar
- Johnson seeing he needs to be decisive all the time
- PATFO moving on from Demar and freeing up TP for shooting bigs like the one that helped us get the last lead of the game

[Degoat]

That was an ugly fcking game lol on the bright side I like what a lot of the youngins brought this year. Demar has got to go tbh that was a pathetic

[timtonymanu]

Good thing we didn't tank! LMA retired and DeRozan led us to a high lottery pick to keep the treadmill going!

If our goal is to keep drafting role players, then job well done. :tu

We can't tank. It's about preserving that winning culture which is getting <35 wins and barely missing the playoffs. Such a great atmosphere.

"big off-season" code for "DeMar is leaving"?

Hmm...

Can't forget that sweet, sweet playoff experience for the young guys. Guys like DeRozan with a lot of playoff experience can show that it's fucking useless and you can still be a loser with it.

They probably still want him back too. :lol. Really going to be interesting to see how they spin this one.

“Did we make the playoffs?” Well for sure we didn’t, again, with the same old plays from last season.

[BackHome]

Well hopefully the Spurs will finally understand they need to see what they have with the young guys and understand they need better talent. So no to signing Derozz and let Rudy and Mills try to catch on a team that will give them a chance to get a ring.

Go into next year letting the youngsters know if they not shooting the 3 ball and playing sound defense they not going to get playing time. I don’t care if we only win 15 games I want to know for sure on who should we keep and who should we trade or cut.

[cd98]

So if we lost 10 more games, we’d be in the lottery with good odds of a top 3 relatively speaking. We win ten games to lose to the Grizzlies in the play-in. I just don’t see how that was worth it. Now we have the 11 or 12 pick.

[timtonymanu]

https://twitter.com/JeffGSpursZone/status/1395204160958631940

Hmm...

Stop being an old fart and emphasize more 3 point shooting, get rid of Demar. Long ways to go before they get back to that winning culture.

[J_Paco]

https://twitter.com/JeffGSpursZone/status/1395204160958631940

Hmm...

The only way they'll 'get better' is if they get away from their current group of veterans (who have only led to a down trending record) & really invest in their future.

Try to acquire extra picks, absorb a bad contract or two (which can still keep you in play for the '23 FA class) if need be and draft for need (shot creating, volume three - point shooting, size and/or defense) not BPA (trade down if need be).

[playbonner15]

Spurs by 30+ tbh :huddle:

:lol

[NASpurs]

Last year, 11th pick. This year, 12th pick.

Isn't that if they 'lose' the lottery and/or end up outside of the top 3?

Anyway, they can still get a good piece if they do their do diligence.

Jakob is probably a better defender, that has never been Jonas' strength, but Jonas is clearly better. He was better in Toronto too and has been given a lot more opportunity to produce since then.

Jonas had 16 shots, Jakob 6 - that‘s the difference and if your opponent is missing big, you can get to 23 rebounds pretty easily. Shitting on Jak is typical for ST. He was not the one shooting under 25%.
