Preseason Thread: Miami Heat at San Antonio Spurs, Friday, October, 8th, 2021 at 7:30PM CST (3:30 Riga)

[raybies]

Miami played it's full rotation yesterday, I believe, so it should be their bench and deep bench playing.

Things To Watch & Discussion Points


DJ back, White resting?
How does Lonnie respond?
Luka and Primo minutes?
Does Bryn now start? :spin


(That last one was a joke but I think it is actually a real possibility tonight...)

Let's get it boys. :ihit

Been really been wanting to watch Tre. I seen he had a really good summer league.

[PhantomDashCam]

I preface this with “it’s only preseason” but Miami was extremely impressive yesterday in their win.
Bam looks to have taken another step forward, Lowry was exceptional running the point and Herro might have rediscovered his confidence after slumping in his sophomore campaign.

I expect, if healthy, they may take a Utah-type leap this season and would be a prime candidate to add someone like a Thad Young at the deadline.

I hope Pop gives a chance for us to look at some Luka tonight, in excess of 20+ minutes.

Primo has a chance to nab that backup PG role early in the season due to Tre’s ill-timed injury.

Will have to watch this game delayed so y’all have a good one.

[SAGirl]

I won’t be able to watch this one: look forward to highlights and you guys reviews

[4lifecowboy]

Any streaming links?

Another option that's working for me...

[Spurs Homer]

the stream east linky appears to work

[Spurs Homer]

my starting 5 would be;

Primo / Murray
Walker
Keldon
Samanic
Purtle or Jock

nah

im going primo - THEN Murray

[Leetonidas]

The crackstreams link works for me in this list.

:tu good call

[poopbox]

luka starting :wow

[Dverde]

D White really needs to play better. Hope he does tonight.

[NASpurs]

Feels like every game is a make or break game for Samanic's career :lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

streameast.live works every single game flawlessly FYI

[NASpurs]

Great defense by Samanic both times

[Trill Clinton]

Luka's isohttps://www.thecoli.com/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/francis.png

[Leetonidas]

Our offense :lol

[jbspurs]

Luka looks like he's about to passout

[Dverde]

Herro making our starters look like scrubs…looks like Spurs are back to being the slow starting team

[ismael-robert]

Anyone find a san antonio feed?

[Rito3d30]

Let Primo play god damn it

[BillMc]

I just got here. What have I missed? Any links?

[Dverde]

You know it’s bad when I see Forbes and say finally someone who can make a jump shot

[dbestpro]

This is some ugly basketball by the Spurs. Reminds me of the YMCA.

[Chomag]

Watching Forbes get effortlessly torched is going to be common....

[emanueldavidginobili]

Why is Bryn in the game? What intel are they going to get from him in there lol? How much his defense sucks ass?

[cd98]

This let's you know what it's like to watch a 20 win team. And that may be generous. But it's also a good way to get a top 3 pick.

[Chomag]

Primo got Pop'ed

[cd98]

Why is Bryn in the game? What intel are they going to get from him in there lol? How much his defense sucks ass?

He does serve a purpose in spreading the court so there is space for the young guys to drive and do stuff. The problem is, they are missing all their drives.

[cd98]

Primo got Pop'ed

It would be good to see how he does against guys like Duncan Robinson.

[cd98]

Vassel can be a star someday.

[Leetonidas]

Watching Forbes get effortlessly torched is going to be common....

Sadly it looks like his offense is going to be needed :lol

[Barfunk]

I've never seen a coach punish his players the way Pop does after they have a great game/games. Maybe I'm missing something, but hopefully it's not Pop up to his old tricks again.

[BillMc]

streameast.live works every single game flawlessly FYI
Yep. I'm using that too.

[Mr. Body]

Goddamn this team cannot shoot.

[Spurs Homer]

i think the second qtr will go a lot better -

[SPURt]

Spurs are gonna struggle to score… yikes

[BillMc]

Primo got Pop'ed

Has he been in and screwed up? Or is he just mysteriously buried despite good games.

How did Luka look?

I'm worried we actually need Forbes' offense.

[jbspurs]

Why is Bryn in the game? What intel are they going to get from him in there lol? How much his defense sucks ass?

He's in the game so scrubs can easily score on him.

[emanueldavidginobili]

He does serve a purpose in spreading the court so there is space for the young guys to drive and do stuff. The problem is, they are missing all their drives.
It's preseason I'd rather have Primo in over him while Doug spreads the floor.

[Rito3d30]

I thought Primo was gonna play later in the game....then I finally realise he's behind the bench....
At least we got Luka I guess

[SAGirl]

Forbes looks like the best offensive player in the team. Gulp Pop still doesn’t want to play Primo. I know I said I couldn’t watch but got home earlier than I expected.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Why is Bryn in the game? What intel are they going to get from him in there lol? How much his defense sucks ass?

He is literally the ONLY guy on the whole damned team who can shoot with any sense of self-confidence. It's really tragic and sad.

[Degoat]

Not to be a downer but I just don’t see it with Luka, he’s such a stiff

[SAGirl]

Murray is a defensive pest at least. He’s got to have value around the league.

[Leetonidas]

Clank....clank....clank....

[Chomag]

I just wish Pop would get out of the way of this team. His massive ego is what is stunting their growth.

[Dverde]

Luka struggling to hang with the Miami bench is concerning. He seems like a sad puppy dog.

[jbspurs]

Has he been in and screwed up? Or is he just mysteriously buried despite good games.

I'm worried we actually need Forbes' offense.

It's the usual Pop, Benching a reserve after a good game.

[timtonymanu]

Top 5 lottery pick in 2022, y’all.

[Mr. Body]

Herro absolutely destroying Murray.

[emanueldavidginobili]

This team is getting destroyed with a literal 13 players out for the Heat!!

[Mr. Body]

I just wish Pop would get out of the way of this team. His massive ego is what is stunting their growth.

Not really. The players are just not good.

[Dex]

Not to be a downer but I just don’t see it with Luka, he’s such a stiff

Same, dude just doesn't play with any intensity. Constantly looks like he is just going through the motions, instead of looking like a guy fighting for his NBA career....and even those motions don't look great.

But I'm sure someone will come around and say that's all Pop's fault for "getting in his head" :rolleyes

[Spurs Homer]

welp

i was wrong

second qtr is WORSE than the first

[Mr. Body]

White and Keldon look like trash. Murray looks bad. Pretty awful for the third preseason game.

[Chomag]

Has he been in and screwed up? Or is he just mysteriously buried despite good games.

How did Luka look?

I'm worried we actually need Forbes' offense. Primo had a decent first outing, I just guess he needs to learn the lesson of getting over himself.

[Trill Clinton]

Not really. The players are just not good.

Yup

[KDKSpurs24]

Not really. The players are just not good.
Sadly, I have to agree with this..

[SAGirl]

It’s looking like a top lottery pick is coming next summer!
OTOH, what I kind of expect is games like this mixed in with some other games where guys get hot and the team looks better. Pop is going to push for that play in again.

[cd98]

Wow that bandage on Pop's forehead...is the rotation related to a brain injury?

[timtonymanu]

None of the young guys have star potential. It felt that way when Demar was still here too. Role players at best. But keeping Demar wouldn’t have done anything different but just postpone the rebuild. These guys now look like a 20 win team. It’s bad when Forbes is needed so desperately for the offense when in Milwaukee, he was at the end of the 2nd string rotation.

I think Vassel has a chance. He's got a good shot and he's got the defense. Everyone else is like 6-10 best players on a championship team.

[BackHome]

Luka struggling to hang with the Miami bench is concerning. He seems like a sad puppy dog.

Dude the whole Spurs team is struggling against Miami bench pretty fucking sad

[poopbox]

Thad Young looking like Demare Carrol when he came to the spurs :cry

[cd98]

Oh thank goodness Forbes is back in.

[SAGirl]

Vassell is looking good. What do you know? A lottery pick. Pop should play and prioritize the lotto picks. The team needs talents. I’d think Primo can play as well.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Jock? Primo? Come on lol

[Degoat]

I’ve been saying this, spurs have to trade Thad young now if they want any value for him, his value will go down playing in SA

[SAGirl]

Wow that bandage on Pop's forehead...is the rotation related to a brain injury?
Probably a skin cancer laser if some freckles… a guess.

[SAGirl]

I’ve been saying this, spurs have to trade Thad young now if they want any value for him, his value will go down playing in SA
I don’t see anyone giving up value for him. He can play but he was in a bad team last year and this will be a second one, he’s getting old and is not a needle mover, I wouldn’t trade value for him by himself.

[Spurs Homer]

hey

a mini run!

[jbspurs]

Thad Young looking like Demare Carrol when he came to the spurs :cry

True!

[BillMc]

I seriously wonder if there's anyone on this team that has true all star potential. I love KJ's hustle, but his game is pretty limited.

PlayPrimo!

[Leetonidas]

The Heat have pretty decent commentators

[GAustex]

Pop traded for another DeMarre Carroll.

[jbspurs]

Oh thank goodness Forbes is back in.


Instant TO and a clap!

[Rito3d30]

finally Walker showing some aggressive action

[Kurgan]

Forbes is still terrible at everything besides shooting the ball. There's a reason he drew no interest from anybody in free agency.

[SAGirl]

I seriously wonder if there's anyone on this team that has true all star potential. I love KJ's hustle, but his game is pretty limited.

PlayPrimo!
Keldon is overrated by Spurs fans. That’s not to say he’s not a good player, but Spurs fan massively overrate him. Can’t blame them either. He’s undaunted and has a high motor but he’s not a star.

[BillMc]

We may be a bottom 5 team this year

[timtonymanu]

I mean Demar wasn’t outstanding but how did we only get aminu and young for him in a trade? :lol

[Robz4000]

I mean Demar wasn’t outstanding but how did we only get aminu and young for him in a trade? :lol

Because he sucks

[Kurgan]

Thad Young playing better defense than any of the youngsters

[timtonymanu]

We may be a bottom 5 team this year

Very possible. I mean our best player is Dejounte Murray. Yikes!

[Degoat]

Everyone got what they wanted getting rid of Demar and Patty lmao

[Kurgan]

I mean Demar wasn’t outstanding but how did we only get aminu and young for him in a trade? :lol

Most pundits thought we won that trade. That's how low DeMar's perceived value was around the league.

[Dex]

Young looking much better this game...especially on defense.

Obviously you trade him if you can get some good pieces for him...but we can do better than a 2nd round pick. Otherwise, might be nice to have someone else on the team who seems to actually know WTF they are doing.

[Spurs Homer]

D white just made up his mind...

"I will NOT PASS!!!"

[Chomag]

Well that was ugly but the game hasn't gotten to far away yet

[Mr. Body]

Keldon is overrated by Spurs fans. That’s not to say he’s not a good player, but Spurs fan massively overrate him. Can’t blame them either. He’s undaunted and has a high motor but he’s not a star.

Yeah, agree completely. He's wildly overrated here. A rugged energy guy with some good skills but a much lower ceiling than most admit. Wasn't he teammates with Herro? Herro looks like he can do so much.

[Mr. Body]

I mean Demar wasn’t outstanding but how did we only get aminu and young for him in a trade? :lol

He was a free agent. The Spurs did great to get a draft pick and a potential something else for Young.

[Dex]

Most pundits thought we won that trade. That's how low DeMar's perceived value was around the league.

At the time he was traded, we were lucky to get ANYTHING for him.

PATFO should have traded him when he had higher value instead of literally being a free agent who could walk away for free, but that's all hindsight at this point.

[Kurgan]

Keldon is overrated by Spurs fans. That’s not to say he’s not a good player, but Spurs fan massively overrate him. Can’t blame them either. He’s undaunted and has a high motor but he’s not a star.

The fanbase is just hungry for another star so they're attaching unrealistic expectations on every Spurs youngster that shows some hint of promise. The people that thought Keldon would be a star are already moving on to Primo

[Dex]

Maybe we should give Samanic 11 more minutes so that he can double his team-worst -15.

He just needs more minutes, right? That should fix everything.

[Mr. Body]

Young looking much better this game...especially on defense.

Obviously you trade him if you can get some good pieces for him...but we can do better than a 2nd round pick. Otherwise, might be nice to have someone else on the team who seems to actually know WTF they are doing.

Problem with Young is he's much smaller than I thought. Without Poeltl, this team has no shotblocking at all. And I don't think a veteran glue guy is going to do anything for this team whatsoever. I hope Thad gets moved for his sake.

[cd98]

Probably a skin cancer laser if some freckles… a guess.

You're too nice. Let me make fun of Pop guilt-free. I can't make fun of a cancer patient.

[Mr. Body]

Maybe we should give Samanic 11 more minutes so that he can double his team-worst -15.

He just needs more minutes, right? That should fix everything.

Meh. I think the plus/minus sucked because everyone sucked. He still should get some extended time to actually see him play. Believe it or not, he was far from the shittiest player on the court.

[BillMc]

What is the over/under on Primo minutes tonight?

[KingKev]

Top 5 lottery pick in 2022, y’all.

We will likely trade it at the deadline for a glue guy so we can make a push for the playoffs!!!

[cd98]

I mean Demar wasn’t outstanding but how did we only get aminu and young for him in a trade? :lol

DeMar was a name. And he was good enough to keep the Spurs competitive. But not good enough to carry us to a .500 record or even close.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Wasn't a big fan of DeMar but we are going to see a massive struggle without him offensively tbh

[cd98]

Yeah, agree completely. He's wildly overrated here. A rugged energy guy with some good skills but a much lower ceiling than most admit. Wasn't he teammates with Herro? Herro looks like he can do so much.

Keldon is a good player. But he's no star. That said, if you had a great player here, he would be a nice complement. For example, if he played with LeBron, he'd get 5 dunks every night. He even worked pretty good with DDR. But without a creator, he's pretty bad.

[Kurgan]

Maybe we should give Samanic 11 more minutes so that he can double his team-worst -15.

He just needs more minutes, right? That should fix everything.

Murray was just as bad too considering he was -13 in the 1st half. Herro abused him so badly that Pop sat him the rest of the 2nd quarter

[Dex]

Meh. I think the plus/minus sucked because everyone sucked. He still should get some extended time to actually see him play. Believe it or not, he was far from the shittiest player on the court.

That may be the most depressing part since he was playing with projected starters. :(

[jbspurs]

I think Vassel has a chance. He's got a good shot and he's got the defense. Everyone else is like 6-10 best players on a championship team.

Not if Pop continue to send him to the bench after made basket.

[dbestpro]

No need to single out any single player. They all suck.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Can't even play your lottery pick in a preseason game with 13 Heat players out lmao

[Spurs Homer]

my stream is showing a fight now??? wtf?

[HankChinaski]

[SAGirl]

I am actually high on Primo’s shooting ability. I do think he has the highest potential of anyone in the team based on how young he is, his shooting ability and feel for the game at his age. Whether he can deliver on that promise who knows? He’s certainly not an athletic freak, but he’s strong and will get naturally stronger bc he’s a baby basically. I am high on him. Of course he may get more playing time and show me it was all a mirage based on my hope for him. I do think he may turn out to not be a number 1 star and be more like a complementary number 2 like Middleton. That’s still higher upside than anyone in the team…

[BillMc]

my stream is showing a fight now??? wtf?

Yeah mine too. Had to move to another stream. Crappy quality, but you know, beginning to care less at this point....

[spurraider21]

keldon exploding in the 3rd

[heyheymymy]

Hell yeah what was heats largest lead like 17?

Spurs up 2 w the ball

Other than because I switched off the feed, what changed?

[Rito3d30]

God Thad is awful.....rusty as hell

[heyheymymy]

White got this game under control

Slows the game down, draws fouls converts.

It takes the juice out of the other team.

White orchestrates all this when he gets time to establish himself

[SPURt]

Landale giving good minutes

[Spurs Homer]

jock doing well

keldon woke up

crowd needs to start that Primo chant -

get pop to wake the fuck up!

[Chomag]

Has there ever been team that refused to play their healthy lottery pick in preseason before? Yes lets NOT let him get his reps in against NBA talent.

[GB20]

I don't give a crap what people have to say about the spurs but I love this team.

[BillMc]

18 year old legs man....gotta rest 'em.

[Mr. Body]

Jock is better than Eubanks. By a good amount.

Murray is not a point guard.

[ducks]

Forbes better get hurt playing all these preason minutes
Hell he is just a vet but he has to play per stupid

[spurs1990]

Thaddeus Carroll you guys weren't joking earlier

[ducks]

18 year old legs man....gotta rest 'em.
Becky has been wearing him out stupid thinks

[Degoat]

Did something happen to Devin? He hasn’t been played this half has he?

[GAustex]

And so it is Thaddeus Carroll

[emanueldavidginobili]

Has there ever been team that refused to play their healthy lottery pick in preseason before? Yes lets NOT let him get his reps in against NBA talent.
It's truly mind blowing man. I can't wrap my head around it especially that he went off his first game ever lmao, you'd think he was a mess that first game or something, its ridiculous.

[cd98]

Dang the stream froze at end of the 3rd.

[GAustex]

Or is it DeMarre Young?

[pRoshi]

I rather see Primo over Lonnie right now

[Spurs Homer]

this streaming business sucks balls

[SAGirl]

Miami announcers calling us out bc their scrubs are beating our starters.
Their lineups don’t have good dribble penetration so they went through a phase that their shooters took very bad shots for them.
I know the context this run came in. …

Is the stream working for everyone? Mine froze.

[Spurs Homer]

mine froze

it sucks

[heyheymymy]

Who had that crack streams link plz

[MannyIsGod]

What changed in the 2nd half was that the Spurs werne't playing 4 on 5 with their starting lineup. Can't underplay how fucking awful Luka was in the first half. I don't want to overreact on one game but the fact that this dude really looks WORSE than he did last year is a terrible sign and honestly I don't see how he isn't waived.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Jock is better than Eubanks. By a good amount.

Murray is not a point guard.
And he's the Spurs second best PG on the team lol

[heyheymymy]

Stream frozen like DeRozan

[emanueldavidginobili]

Devin Vassell has played 7 minutes.....

[HankChinaski]

Eubanks with the nice dunk.

[GB20]

Pop is pissing me off. when is he going to play primo?

[spurraider21]

guys. just use nbabite.com

gives you several streams per game.

will work throughout the regular season and postseason too

[BillMc]

Devin Vassell has played 7 minutes.....

Sad.

[BillMc]

Pop is pissing me off. when is he going to play primo?

It's the only reason to watch...and we're not getting it.

[HankChinaski]

Yeah, what the hell with Herro playing lights out.

[SAGirl]

Well my stream froze. Final outcome doesn’t matter but a start like today is a loss in the regular season.

I do realize Pop is looking at players he needs to make decisions on cutting.

[Rito3d30]

Primooooo time

[HankChinaski]

Devin Vassell has played 7 minutes.....

He was on the sideline to sub in before the timeout.

[GAustex]

Strange how Luka seems to have little to no competitive fire

[cd98]

Wow Keldon is so great at the rim, but he needs work everwhere else.

[cd98]

Vassel can be a star.

[spurraider21]

Vassel can be a star.
the bar must be so low if we get these comments after a midrange jumper

[Leetonidas]

Someone's gotta shoot it there

[cd98]

Primo had a dunk on that pass.

[cd98]

the bar must be so low if we get these comments after a midrange jumper

Yep. Who was benched for Forbes?

[SAGirl]

Strange how Luka seems to have little to no competitive fire
That’s why he’s on the verge of getting cut. Thanks for the observation. My stream died.

[cd98]

Forbes in? We don't need to tank these games. He should be playing in the regular season so we can tank.

[HankChinaski]

Jock timed that contest for the block just a moment too long. And that nasty shoulder to the eyebrow from Lonnie

[poopbox]

Lonnie and Jock bumps heads...Lonnie was unfazed but Jock somehow almost died :rollin

[HankChinaski]

Sounds like Luka is getting subbed in

[cd98]

Luka needs Ted Lasso to coach.

[Leetonidas]

:lmao Forbes

[cd98]

Forbes is terrible, but man he can shoot.

[NASpurs]

Steph Forbes making Pop's pecker be at full salute.

[cd98]

Luka sighting.

[HankChinaski]

Geez man Miami with the heat checks.

[ace3g]

Allowing a dunk off a missed FT...

[poopbox]

Between Devin, McDermot, and Thad, we are a complete disaster at the 4 spot

[Mr. Body]

Big problem with Samanic is he's completely uncompetitive on the defensive boards.

[Leetonidas]

Walker sucks

[cd98]

Lonnie choke.

[NASpurs]

we are a complete disaster

Fixed.

[HankChinaski]

ughh...Lonnie.

[Degoat]

Lonnie is straight Trash!!

[SPURt]

do you... know what that means?
Haha! He’s eating their asses out! Nom nom nom nom!!:blah

[cd98]

Hilarious watching Vassel trying to call a timeout after the basket like it was college basketball.

[Rito3d30]

Luka was so hesistant to shoot the 3 ball while open and then he decided to drive in when his opponent has finally recovered

[Kurgan]

Scrub Lonnie with the turnover and missed dunk to seal the loss for the Spurs.

[NASpurs]

Miami's C team is too good for our A team.

[emanueldavidginobili]

The fact that they lost this game with 13 players out for the Heat is nuts. What did the Spurs gain in this game? what did they get to see from their lottery pick putting him in with 6 minutes left in the game. this shit is bonkers man, its the preseason!!!! I don't get it.

[cd98]

At least we didn't lose by 30 points to the C team.

[BillMc]

Has KDB disappeared?

[NASpurs]

Is it too early to start the NBA draft thread for next year? Can't wait to draft the next bust or role player with the #1 pick.

[SAGirl]

Allowing a dunk off a missed FT...
Who was it that allowed that? Luka?

[Barfunk]

Eh, it's just preseason. No use in overreacting.

[spurraider21]

need someone to make a meme of Pop operating a tank, using the 2 thumbs up gesture he gave after hacking shaq

[NASpurs]

At least we kept Thad Young's corpse in private so we can sucker some NBA team to trade for him. Oh wait, he's already played and the secret is out.

[spurs1990]

Samanic acquitted himself a bit down the stretch. Kid needs some confidence from coach and he'll be fine

[SPURt]

Forbes in the Patty role isn’t that bad. If Pop decides to start him again it’d be unstomachable.

[Barfunk]

Just really wish Pop would play Primo. Makes zero sense to keep him glued to the bench after a great showing in the first game. Really hope Pop doesn't play dictator again this season.

[SAGirl]

Big problem with Samanic is he's completely uncompetitive on the defensive boards.
Then he’s not longed for this Spurs wouldn’t you say?

[NASpurs]

Yeah he played fine for a good stretch last year and then was benched for a long while. Probably told Pop that Christopher Columbus was a hero.

[cd021]

KJ wasn't very good in the first half but looked really good in the second half. Looks like he added some moves to help him get to the rim. Counted 2 euro-steps and spin move on three different drives to the basket each for made shots.

His 3-point shot is still kinda sketchy, and sort of looks like it has a hitch but he could be really good this season.

Luka was decent, especially late with the hesitation drive and late 3. Still plays like he's unsure of himself.

[cd021]

Probably just shuffling the rotation get make sure different players get enough minutes. He rested Poeltl and started Eubanks, bench McDermott to get Luka minutes.

[SAGirl]

Has KDB disappeared?
I’d expect to see him next game. Pop had to give Luka more minutes and outside of garbage time to see what he had. I’d think KBD will get them next.

[HankChinaski]

The Lonnie Forbes combo is just not a good backcourt to have out there. Only one of those two should be out on the floor at one time.

Keldon continues to look good finishing in the lane. is a step slow trying to stay in front of his man on defense.

D. White slows it down a little and look more in control.

Murray was a bit of a hit an miss on offense. He made some nice moves driving into the paint but he wasn't initiating the offense well for the rest of the players on the court.

Vassel I just can't remember anything since most of his minutes were in the first half.

Eubanks hustles and is one of the few players (Lonnie, Forbes) who doesn't just stop and stare at the ball when it is up in the air. He made a pair of nice cuts and reads for a pair of dunks.

Thad made some vet moves and then looked sluggish to playable to sluggish throughout.

Forbes can shoot. Traffic cone everywhere else.

Sandwich was forgetable in the first half and in the closing minutes made a couple nice plays but it wasn't enough to make me think more of him.

Primo, wish he had more time on the court but he get his minutes sooner or later.

That 4 spot is going to continuing problem it is a black hole for this Spurs team.

[raybies]

Eh, it's just preseason. No use in overreacting.
FUCK THAT!!! THIS WHOLE TEAM IS ASS CHEEKS... STINKY ASS CHEEKS. I KNOW CAUSE I HAVE SNIFFED THEM ALL. I KNOW THE SMELL OF A WINNER AND THEY AIN'T IT. SEND EVERYBODY TO THE GLEAGUE AND GET REPLACEMENT PLAYERS ASAP@#@$#$

Yeah, hopefully just that.

Samanic got his chance and didnt take advantage, he was a couple of steps slow

Landale :tu

[HankChinaski]

I can't stand the lazy closest out on the 3 ball from some of these guys. It is the kind of thing you never saw happen with the Spurs of yesteryears.

Luka is allergic to any contested rebound it seems...

[SAGirl]

Who was it that allowed that? Luka?
Ok I watched that play in nba.com. The one failing to block out that offensive board out of a missed FT was Vassell. He’s not a 4 and Pop continuing to play his wings as bigs definitely sets them up for disappointments. Vassell is tall and strong for a wing, but he’s not a big…

Luka wasn’t much better grabbing rebounds or blocking out bigs though.

Politics are more important ask stupid !

[Cabrito]

Some nights teams will not shoot well. That shouldn’t impact one’s ability to rebound. A big problem is this is a poor rebounding team. Poor rebounding teams need to create turnovers and Pop’s teams aren’t known for that. The talk about our needs seems to be on shooting and defending, and we can’t forget that part of defense is rebounding. Our team needs to put their body on people and we did not do that tonight at all.

Take the keys. He’s officially jumped the shark on wokeness. And if I was in school, I’d be pissed. He’s robbing kids of a day off.

[ducks]

Will the press get some fucking balls and call out stupid
What does Columbus Day have to do with the spurs!
If he wants to talk about the go on fucking cnn and have lemon suck his fucking small penis

[BackHome]

Pop needs to fucking go he is starting to kill players careers this team has not rhyme or reason and no direction - I give this team a month or two tops before the players quit on him - It's going to be an ugly season

[ducks]

Not just the day off who the fuck does he think he is
The fucking king of the USA ?

[ducks]

Pop and walker for Simmons
The spurs would be clearly robbing the sixers !

[cd98]

Pop admits to being confused. He has a big bandage on his forehead. He’s eating up important evaluation minutes to watch Forbes, a player we are all aquatinted with. And he forgot he was a basketball coach and started talking about taking a day off away from kids. He’s lost it. Hide the nuke codes.

[ducks]

Hell even through in a draft pick and spurs still rob sixers

Will spur fans start actually starting fire pop chants now !
They started the primo chants !

Pop is fucking done
Spurs should fire him and not let the son of a bitch get his ego filled and get the most w”s

Columbus was a monstrosity of a human. I bet 90% of the ppl on this website don't know the true story of his abominable crimes and general depraved inhumanity. And I say that as someone who just learned about it myself a couple years back. it's certainly not something we teach in our schools, nor discuss when covering our foundational stories, and it should be.

in this case pop is spot on, Americans should never celebrate a Columbus Day or a single "accomplishment" of his

[ducks]

Of course not
It is just the USA history
We should never learn from it
What a stupid Idiot !
You would think pop would want USA to learn from the past. But no he wants people to make the same mistakes over again.
What a fucking idiot! Not learning from the past = idiot !
