[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Keep the L Train rollin boys!

:lma :lma :lma

[BatManu20]

McBuckets out with Covid.


1477339891847606275

[NASpurs]

Not even 'Rona can take Forbes out.

[Elementis]

Not even 'Rona can take Forbes out.

he surely isn't taking any risks of getting it when defending his man!

[emanueldavidginobili]

1477337287985967109

[Joseph Kony]

At least Murray will be back soon but two more guys out with Covid now, no bueno. means we're likely start seeing our whole roster get ravaged over the next couple weeks.

[LeBowen]

That's Bryn's music.

Hopefully Primo gets at least 20 minutes today.

[NASpurs]

he surely isn't taking any risks of getting it when defending his man!

Explains the 6 feet of distancing

[Larry O]

Oh boy... LW4 and McBucketts in protocols... SMH! So, whenever these guys get back, they will have to get back into rhythm again, and who knows how long that may take. But on the other hand, for Puro Primo and Joe Whizzy, hopfully, they will be given more time and opportunity to play (fingers crossed!)! It's good news that DJ will be coming back soon!!! GSG!!!

[Dejounte]

Draft more guards. This pandemic is going to wipe the entire roster out and it’s going to happen every year

[siraulo23]

hope we get to see more Tre and maybe even Primo?

or 40 mins of Forbes yikes

[BackHome]

It’s happening to every team it was just a matter of time before we got a huge outbreak I wonder when Pop will get it? I wonder if this continues will they consider doing the bubble for the playoffs?

[emanueldavidginobili]

1477344470463139843

[Degoat]

We should see a lot of Vassell tonight! Fingers crossed for Primo too

[heyheymymy]

Hoping the protocols don't ravage the team and I'm sending vibes out to the player's recovery if indeed symptomatic. Perhaps a blessing in disguise to help secure a better draft pick and fast track development from deep bench guys.

If Spurs came out of this with a fast tracked Jones or even got some initial development for Primo it could be a sliver lining. KBD seeing some increased exposure with MCD out. Helps sharpen up the rest of the depth.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Forbes and Primo first off the bench tonight?

[poopbox]

with so many guards out forbes about to get 20 minutes to many a game :cry

[poopbox]

Forbes coming in already :cry

[Leetonidas]

Pistons by 20+

[PhantomDashCam]

Hopefully we get to see some Tre and Primo backcourt minutes tonight.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Primo is going to be a very good passer once he gets a feel of the NBA speed.

[LeBowen]

Forbes securing his rotation spot for the foreseeable future. :lobt2:

[Dejounte]

Tre-Forbes-Primo-Vassell-Landale line-up

[Uriel]

Unpopular opinion: Forbes hasn’t been an absolute trainwreck this season.

[Robz4000]

Unpopular opinion: Forbes hasn’t been an absolute trainwreck this season.

He's been worse tbh.

[Dejounte]

Unpopular opinion: Forbes hasn’t been an absolute trainwreck this season.

So he’s a shipwreck? :lmao

[Degoat]

Hope pop doesnt punish Primo for the misses out there lol

[NASpurs]

Unpopular opinion: Forbes hasn’t been an absolute trainwreck this season.

Just stop.

[Dejounte]

Pop experimenting tonight. Never thought I would see Wieskamp play in meaningful minutes.

[poopbox]

Poeltl has been really bad the last few games

[Dejounte]

Vassell is SO bad at dribbling in traffic

[Degoat]

Random Thought * wishful thinking, but I really hope Zach Collins pans out for the spurs. I like Landale a lot but in certain matchups hell be a liability once teams figure him out. And Jakob goes through stretches where he can be frustrating out there

[Dex]

Why do we suck so bad at three's?

[BatManu20]

IYKYK :lol

1477429090990837762

[NASpurs]

Spurs out-healthying the Pistons. Team effort.

[poopbox]

Poeltl must have saw me talking shit cause he just had arguably his best 3 minutes of the season :lol

[BatManu20]

This Pistons’ G-League team is almost unwatchable tbh. This ain’t even enjoyable.

[Dejounte]

Spurs out-healthying the Pistons. Team effort.

How? The Spurs are literally playing their 14th, 15th man

[Dejounte]

Tre-White-Primo-Keldon-Poeltl line-up

[PhantomDashCam]

I always find it funny when poor defenders give advice then commit the exact same foul themselves :lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

How? The Spurs are literally playing their 14th, 15th man
Pistons have 13 players out right now, some of these guys might be their 20th man :lol

[Robz4000]

This Pistons’ G-League team is almost unwatchable tbh. This ain’t even enjoyable.

Yet they're staying in the game. Spurs are getting completely outhustled.

[NASpurs]

How? The Spurs are literally playing their 14th, 15th man

Pistons are playing guys who have never played in the NBA :lol

[Dejounte]

That was an awful read by Keldon to attack the basket with three guys in the paint when Primo was right there open in the corner

[Degoat]

What is Keldon doing out there?! smh

[poopbox]

Primo has been Bryn Forbes bad this game

[Degoat]

Sigh Primo, this is why forbes plays over you!!

[PhantomDashCam]

Alright screw the shooting coach, we need a ball handling savant ASAP

[poopbox]

Bryn Forbes rolling around holding his balls for multiple possession in a row is a top 10 spurs moment this season :lmao

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs getting killed by a bunch of G-Leaguers who never played in the NBA :lmao

[PhantomDashCam]

Bryn Forbes: “I bring toughness”

[Degoat]

Jock has been worthless out there tbh

[Dex]

I hate watching Bryn Forbes play basketball so much.

I can't even enjoy anything else happening on the court because it's hard to ignore how useless this dude is.

[Leetonidas]

Embarrassing second quarter

[Robz4000]

Spurs should be absolutely embarrassed.

[AusSpur]

I'm struggling to see the shooting fouls the Pistons keep getting

[NASpurs]

Embarrassing loss, should had countered with the Austin Spurs

[RC_Drunkford]

Derrick White is by far the best player on the court. Why has he only taken 4 shots?

[Robz4000]

Derrick White is by far the best player on the court. Why has he only taken 4 shots?

:pop: Brent Forms is our leader

[Degoat]

Derrick White is by far the best player on the court. Why has he only taken 4 shots?

Felt like he didn't play that much lol some weird rotations tonight with guys out.

[PhantomDashCam]

I hate watching Bryn Forbes play basketball so much.

I can't even enjoy anything else happening on the court because it's hard to ignore how useless this dude is.

I think the issue is in that everything he does involves some form of body language overreaction that draws attention.

For example, The one handed pocket passes where he thinks he’s Steve Nash is a new one he’s brought to his game this year.

[Philthemage]

Forbes is way up there with RJ as my most hated Spurs ever

[mystargtr34]

Primo has been really good imo despite missing wide open 3’s. He pushes the ball really well and has already made about 5 passes this game that I don’t think anyone else on the team can make. A couple outlets in transition and a couple to wide open corner/wing 3s from the middle of the floor that were missed. Defence has been pretty good too. Made some mistake also which is all part of learning.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Keldon and Jock look like they're drunk.

[RC_Drunkford]

Felt like he didn't play that much lol some weird rotations tonight with guys out.

He played 15 min. His pussy ass has to understand that he has to takeover games

[Dex]

I think the issue is in that everything he does involves some form of body language overreaction that draws attention.

For example, The one handed pocket passes where he thinks he’s Steve Nash is a new one he’s brought to his game this year.

Agreed. Dude puts every emotion on display after every play, and considering it's normally a mistake, he is just making himself look worse.

He's like Michael Scott in The Office when he throws a full-court shot over the backboard and then is like "WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME TODAY! I NORMALLY MAKE THOSE!"

[Dejounte]

Tre and White are doing a poor job pushing the pace. They look like they’re jogging out there to set up the offense. The team misses Murray badly. There’s no edge. A slow pace equals complacency and not taking the game seriously.

[Dejounte]

Agreed. Dude puts every emotion on display after every play, and considering it's normally a mistake, he is just making himself look worse.

Never thought I would see a The Office reference when it comes to basketball, but you did it. You did it successfully.

[tonight...you]

Lol.
This is the bitch and moaners' Heaven right now.
Awesome to see!

I'm glad they're funny!

[mystargtr34]

Tre and White are doing a poor job pushing the pace. They look like they’re jogging out there to set up the offense. The team misses Murray badly. There’s no edge. A slow pace equals complacency and not taking the game seriously.

Primo actually does a good job of pushing the pace when he’s out theee.

[BackHome]

The day after New Years we hungover and they stayed up all night tapping that Ass- It's to be expected from a young team..:)

[Dejounte]

Primo actually does a good job of pushing the pace when he’s out theee.

Come on, he had two possessions where he brought the ball up from full court. On one of them, he got stripped before he reached halfcourt.

[tonight...you]

Never thought I would see a The Office reference when it comes to basketball, but you did it. You did it successfully.
Never have seen it. Not that I'm trying to avoid the show.
I have a nephew who binges it to the point where we feel the need to hold an intervention with him, lol.

[Dejounte]

Tre-White-Primo-Vassell-Eubanks line-up

[Robz4000]

Garza has been destroying every Spurs big tonight.

[Degoat]

Eubanks plays like he doesnt even care anymore

[Dejounte]

Eubanks plays like he doesnt even care anymore

He really doesn’t. He’s Forbes-level bad out there, maybe worse.

[mystargtr34]

Damn the Spurs are getting bullied physically 😂

[Robz4000]

Hopefully this upcoming losing streak is enough to send the Spurs to the bottom of the West.

[Dejounte]

Foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul, foul

[NASpurs]

Give Murray the MVP from keeping this team look like complete trash.

[NASpurs]

Hopefully this upcoming losing streak is enough to send the Spurs to the bottom of the West.

Aiming for that 10-12th pick per par.

[RC_Drunkford]

Would actually make sense to play Thad tonight, but he's not over himself after getting minutes yesterday

[Robz4000]

Aiming for that 10-12th pick per par.

:vomit:

[NASpurs]

Twin towers :lol

[BigTDoe]

GSG

[PhantomDashCam]

Gone to Poeltl-Landale combo, really should try the Thad-Landale pairing. Thad’s passing would be a big asset for Keldon right now

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

How do you play 2 centers and they end up guarding Diallo and Bey in the halfcourt :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

Derrick White should be ashamed to get outscored by a guy who never played in the NBA before :lmao

[Dex]

We seriously about to lose to the 5th string of the Pistons?

[RC_Drunkford]

Poeltl trying to post up G-Leaguers :lmao

[emanueldavidginobili]

This might be the worst loss in the Spurs history. the 5-28 Pistons are missing 13 players!!!

[Dejounte]

The Spurs went twin Center line-up because the Pistons kept getting and-1’s inside, but now the perimeter defense is suffering as a result and there’s less ball movement on offense because Landale can’t run around.

[PhantomDashCam]

Tre the only player with a heart out there atm.

[BigTDoe]

Trap game. Shame

[emanueldavidginobili]

Derrick is lacking any type of killer instinct smh

[Dejounte]

What an awful sequence by White. Wtf

[PhantomDashCam]

Not sure any of these refs are going to earn Playoff call ups tbh

[BigTDoe]

Not a fan of Fab color commentary!

[Dex]

Yeah, this shit is embarrassing. Even if we win, it would be a moral loss.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

These refs lol

[Barfunk]

What the fuck now, smh.

[RC_Drunkford]

Jakob Poeltl getting dominated by Luka Garza :lmao

Keldon is getting big bodied by Saddiq Bey tonight :lmao

Derrick White is getting dominated by Stanley. I have no idea what his first name is. He never played in the NBA before :lmao

Spurs making Hamidu Diallo look like he's prime KD :lol

[gambit1990]

the pistons current win percentage is .152... and it's gonna go up after facing the spurs.

[Dex]

Oh great, we have Forbes back on the floor. That will save us.

[Dejounte]

White walking up the court with no urgency whatsoever :lmao

[itzsoweezee]

running plays for Bryn Forbes. Fucking pathetic.

[poopbox]

Spurs are trash but Refs are carrying the Pistons across the finish line. Virtually every shot they miss there is a late whistle for them

[gambit1990]

the pistons announcer is such a sweetheart. he just said the spurs play with a great poise. and wasn't being sarcastic.

[poopbox]

Also Poeltl getting dominated by Garza is par the course for him. Any big that plays with force and intensity always shits all over Poeltl.

[emanueldavidginobili]

5 Piston players that have played tonight have played 2 or less games this season lmao

[poopbox]

Forbes is just running around like a chicken with his head cut off every defensive possession :lmao

Dude is hands down the worst basketball player I have ever seen anywhere ever :lmao

Then this piece of shit gets an 8 second call...who the fuck does that :lmao

[Dex]

Landale actually was pushing the comeback. I don't like Poeltl coming back in

[itzsoweezee]

Forbes running point!!!! Can't get across the halfcourt line :lol

[SPURt]

Forbes ugh

[RC_Drunkford]

Forbes :lmao :lmao :lmao

[Dex]

And there we go, Forbes with a crucial backcourt violation.

This guy just needs to retire and go play in China

[MultiTroll]

Forbes is ...

Then this piece of shit gets an 8 second call...who the fuck does that :lmao
Forbes: "I bring toughness."

[Robz4000]

:lol just relegate the Spurs to the g-league after this farce

[itzsoweezee]

Can't wait for popovich to retire. Fucking senile dumbass

[RC_Drunkford]

5 Piston players that have played tonight have played 2 or less games this season lmao

2 or 3 of them made their NBA debut tonight

[Dejounte]

Unpopular opinion: Forbes hasn’t been an absolute trainwreck this season.

Car wreck?
Plane wreck?

[poopbox]

Did that shot bounce of Poeltl head :lmao

[RC_Drunkford]

Can't wait for popovich to retire. Fucking senile dumbass

he's the best motivator of men. Can't you see how hard the Spurs are playing out there?

[emanueldavidginobili]

DJ>>>>>>>DW

[Barfunk]

Spurs are trash but Refs are carrying the Pistons across the finish line. Virtually every shot they miss there is a late whistle for them

We gotta thank ESPN for that, the anti-Spurs BS that started around the 03-04 season. I'll never forget it. Stephen A Smithe, Tim Legler, and Greg Anthony, among others. The Lakers vs. Lakers comment by David Stern season. Greg Anthony became less biased against the Spurs as time went on, but those 3 were fucking unbearable that season.

[Dex]

Goddamn, do I miss Timmy, Tony, and Manu.

[RC_Drunkford]

Shaqtin a fool sequence right there :lmao

Kenny, cue the music

[td4mvp2k]

what a f****** joke

[BigTDoe]

Man Keldon is in a slump

[Robz4000]

Fvck.

[poopbox]

Thad Young can't get on the floor in a game like this :lol

[RC_Drunkford]

there's 0 reason for Keldon Johnson to be on the floor at this point of the game. I'd rather have Wieskamp out there than him

[BigTDoe]

Forbes!

[NASpurs]

Fvck you Forbes

[Degoat]

Forbes!!

[RC_Drunkford]

Steph Forbes

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

I'm convinced Keldon is still drunk

[RC_Drunkford]

I wonder who will give up the and-1 for the Pistons on this posession

[Dex]

Thad Young can't get on the floor in a game like this :lol

That's what happens when you go whining to the media and on Insta about wanting out.

Fuck that guy. He had his chance to show that he belonged, and he blew it.

[PhantomDashCam]

Garza literally wants every play reviewed :lol

[poopbox]

It says alot about this team that the only player willing to take a big shot is Forbes

[Robz4000]

:lol Poeltl's freethrow shooting

[Robz4000]

Big Body tbh.

[poopbox]

Zach Collins can't rescue us from Poeltl fast enough

[Arcadian]

:lol Detroit fouling up 1

[Arcadian]

What a clumsy game full of incompetence on both sides.

[poopbox]

1 for 4 freethrows :rollin

What are we paying Chip for again :rollin

[Dex]

Jak's free throw shooting is also a disgrace. Let's be honest.

[td4mvp2k]

**** you poop

[NASpurs]

Pistons coverage just showed they're 0-5 in games decided by 5 points or less and 0-20 (some huge number) when they're down 10+ so of course the Spurs are going to give them they're only win.

[RC_Drunkford]

Jakob Turtle All-Star

[BigTDoe]

Poetl couldn't make one gosh darn free throw???

[Barfunk]

Bring us back Forbes

[RC_Drunkford]

Diallo game winner coming in

[Robz4000]

Manu-esque

[PhantomDashCam]

Derrick!

[Trainwreck2100]

Forbes absolutely misses this right?

[NASpurs]

This game shall be known as the Battle of the 'tards.

[RC_Drunkford]

this is going OT

[Barfunk]

Awesome play call by Pop.

[PhantomDashCam]

That was a nice out of bounds play. Bad luck KJ.

[SPURt]

KJ has been awful tonight

[Degoat]

KJ SMH!!!

[Robz4000]

Now the Spurs get to lose in OT.

[RC_Drunkford]

Pop is the GOAT of out of time out plays. That was genius :lmao

[td4mvp2k]

team of mediocre

[itzsoweezee]

Keldon Johnson missed a layup? Shocker

[Dex]

KJ has been awful tonight

There was contact, but you gotta not expect a foul in that situation. Play through it, and stop looking to the ref.

[Arcadian]

What happens when a highly stoppable force meets an easily movable object?

[Barfunk]

Smh

[JeffDuncan]

What happens when a highly stoppable force meets an easily movable object?


Overtime.

It’s like pouring rancid gravy on dog poop.

[NASpurs]

Great half-assed rebound attempt by Forbes that led to that Pistons dunk

[Uriel]

Unpopular opinion: Forbes hasn’t been an absolute trainwreck this season.
:wakeup

[RC_Drunkford]

Derrick White does not want to shoot the ball at all

[Arcadian]

When Bryn Forbes is your closer...you're probably not in a very good place in life.

[BigTDoe]

Forbes!

[Robz4000]

:lmao Jesus fucking Christ

[Barfunk]

20 fucking Spurs under the rim with only one Piston :bang

[RC_Drunkford]

Derrick White :lmao

[BigTDoe]

Sleep walking this game.

[poopbox]

Holy shit at how bad these teams are :lmao:lmao

[Arcadian]

:lol This game is rather entertaining!

[Robz4000]

:lmao this whole game should be a Shaqtin' a fool segment

[spurraider21]

but but our point differential!

[Uriel]

Team's giving me a fucking heart attack so early in the new year.

[Uriel]

Hate that Walton guy.

[itzsoweezee]

They fouled the shit out of Vassell on that rebound

[BigTDoe]

Inbound the ball to a free throw shooter. Make the free throws. Its easy.

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs need some inbound the basketball drills :lmao

[Robz4000]

White gonna miss both freethrows here.

[Trainwreck2100]

Ruh roh

[DeRozan m8]

How many FTs these guys gonna choke?

[BigTDoe]

Agreed Uriel.

[Barfunk]

Fitting.

[Robz4000]

:lmao that sequence

[Uriel]

Wow.

[poopbox]

Ball went between Jakob legs on some benny hill shit

[BigTDoe]

Wow

[DeRozan m8]

Scrubs

[gambit1990]

that shot, wow !!

[SPURt]

Ouch

[BigTDoe]

What a frigging shot. Jiminy Cricket

[spurraider21]

but but our point differential!
top 5 team!

[gambit1990]

nutmeg assist for the 3! wow.

[Barfunk]

What kind of shot was that?

[itzsoweezee]

nice pass. nutmegged Poetl.

[Trainwreck2100]

:lol his defender fell down he had no defender

[gambit1990]

i cannot remember ever seeing a nutmeg assist like that before.

[td4mvp2k]

fire this mf'er now!

[Uriel]

Keldon wow.

[PhantomDashCam]

Shameful…

Kudos to Detroit.

[RC_Drunkford]

let's see who misses this game winner. We probably won't even be able to inbound the ball :lmao

[DeRozan m8]

Scrubs - except jock

[Uriel]

Man.

[tbdog]

What an awful shot, Johnson.

[Barfunk]

2022 Pop >>> Becky

[Robz4000]

:lol this team won't win a single game on this road trip. Tank should be rolling here soon.

[paperboy77]

Dumbest loss in a while. KJ aint ready for last shot.

[MultiTroll]

Pistons coverage just showed they're 0-5 in games decided by 5 points or less and 0-20 (some huge number) when they're down 10+ so of course the Spurs are going to give them they're only win.
:pop:

[Borosai]

I'm glad the young players are getting all the playing time, but as a unit, the Spurs look like ass on offense and defense. I haven't watched most of the games, but what a sloppy team.

[Arcadian]

:lol

[Degoat]

Abysmal effort!! Embarrassing, we don’t take lesser teams serious and it shows tbh KJ with the worst game of his life

[paperboy77]

2022 Pop >>> Becky

Like he's better than Becky? No entiendo bro, must be some teenage code shit.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Call me reactionary, but I was OK with winning for a couple of games there and now, after tonight, I'm back on Team Tank.
Sorry for wavering on my convictions for a bit.

The wins are fool's gold. This team needs talent.

[poopbox]

That's what happens when you go whining to the media and on Insta about wanting out.

Fuck that guy. He had his chance to show that he belonged, and he blew it.

Or maybe Pop should just play better players over lesser players cause there is no way in hell Eubanks should have been playing over him to start the season. Stuff like that only happens in San Antonio and only happens with Pop. Whenever Thad gets traded or bought out he will instantly go to a much better team, instantly play better than he did here and go farther than he did here. You know...like every veteran player we didn't resign this year :lol

[daslicer]

Demar just hit another game winner.

[Barfunk]

Like he's better than Becky? No entiendo bro, must be some teenage code shit.

I'm being 100% serious.

[poopbox]

Now that covid is about to ravage this team we might not win a game for a LONG time

[Bojo]

Shitting on Forbes' performance is well-deserved after that backcourt violation and the weak box-out, but damn, where were White, Vassell, Poeltl, Keldon in this game? They were the four most talented players on the court today and, apart from stretches, didn't bring it. Losing versus this YMCA team has to be a new low...

[NASpurs]

Now that covid is about to ravage this team we might not win a game for a LONG time

Fingers crossed!

[gambit1990]

if pop was any other coach then he'd get fired today. shït, he would've gotten fired a long time ago tbh.

[Barfunk]

Like he's better than Becky? No entiendo bro, must be some teenage code shit.

Wasn't being serious, obviously, lol.

[Marco]

KJ 6-30 in the last two games...

[NASpurs]

if pop was any other coach then he'd get fired today. shït, he would've gotten fired a long time ago tbh.

Hopefully Becky forgets everything Pop has tried to teach her the past six years if she wants to be successful.

[Robz4000]

Abysmal effort!! Embarrassing, we don’t take lesser teams serious and it shows tbh KJ with the worst game of his life

The Spurs are a lesser team.

[Trill Clinton]

Yea its Pop's fault Keldon and Derrick sucked tonight.

[Barfunk]

Yea its Pop's fault Keldon and Derrick sucked tonight.

Cmon man, at some point you gotta put some blame on him.

[gambit1990]

Yea its Pop's fault Keldon and Derrick sucked tonight.
:lol

it's not about one night.

[Trill Clinton]

Cmon man, at some point you gotta put some blame on him.

Yea I blame him for Derrick not hitting his FT's in the clutch and causing Derrick to make boneheaded turnovers in the clutch.

[Barfunk]

Don't get me wrong, they stunk it up, but at what point does Pop get held accountable?

[NASpurs]

Don't get me wrong, they stunk it up, but at what point does Pop get held accountable?

Everyone in SA is too spineless to call him out so probably never. Hopefully he gets his record and retires.

[paperboy77]

Wasn't being serious, obviously, lol.

I hear you. Just an odd expression to describe the truth. To my old self.

[paperboy77]

Spurs need a coach that will jump their asses. Otherwise the current version of Pop is just like any other player-"friendly" coach today. Beyond frustrated with this team. Even Chet or Banchero aren't gonna do shit to change this course. Can we draft a coach?

[BackHome]

Shitting on Forbes' performance is well-deserved after that backcourt violation and the weak box-out, but damn, where were White, Vassell, Poeltl, Keldon in this game? They were the four most talented players on the court today and, apart from stretches, didn't bring it. Losing versus this YMCA team has to be a new low...

In this game White should have carried this team but he had the 3rd most point Forbes had the most that tells you we got players who are scarred to shoot the ball. This is a perfect example off why every player who played tonight should be on a trade board IF and I mean IF a trade comes along that will help us.

[BackHome]

Call me reactionary, but I was OK with winning for a couple of games there and now, after tonight, I'm back on Team Tank.
Sorry for wavering on my convictions for a bit.

The wins are fool's gold. This team needs talent.

Yep, and we are not going to acquire talent through free agency so let’s do it right Pop and get a top 3 pick this year!!

[8sy21vd]

Hopefully DJ is back for TOR but people shouldn't expect a trade anytime season. The most we'll do is buyout Thad to keep that streak going. Unless we get a good big, this team is stuck in a battle for the 9/10 seed this season lol :/

[offset formation]

Also Poeltl getting dominated by Garza is par the course for him. Any big that plays with force and intensity always shits all over Poeltl.

But dude, he's a top tier center in this league...

[BackHome]

Fuck the play in I want a top 5 pick - We dearly need talent and someone who will put butts in seats in the stadium
