LOL those of us who thought it was a one-year tank

[scott]

We've got fuckin' Brett Brown on our coaching staff, the clues have been right under our noses the whole time. Welcome to The Process.

Will Wemby be as Patient as Embiid?

Can we do better than the Sixers did the drafts following Wemby?

2015, drafted Okafor over Kristaps P, Myles Turner, Devin Booker, Scary Terry
2016, drafted Simmons over Ingram, Jaylen Brown
2017, drafted Fultz over Tatum (with their original pick at that), DMitchell, Bam


The Process ended in after the 2017 draft when Philly and Boston swapped picks. Will we be waiting until after the 2026 draft when we have Atlanta's swap? The timelines would be identical.

LOL us Popsniffers.

[offset formation]

Giveaway should have been Brown on the bench. Spot on.

Fool me once...

[NASpurs]

The worst part is that no one can "Bob Hill" Pop seeing as he's the president and all.

[Mugen]

It's only a 1yr+ tank because of the old man. If they would have Jerry Sloan'd him in the offseason and hired Ime, they'd be in the playoffs by next season tbh.

[slick'81]

Save us budenholzer

[Budkin]

We’ve gotta get Bud up in here.

[Mugen]

Fuck Bud :lol

That's just an old man retread. Get some new blood that will clean house in the coaching staff. They need somebody to change this loser culture that's permeated the franchise and the majority of the loser fanbase since Kawhi 9/11'd them.

[z0sa]

"tanking" and "sucking" are two different things.

[RC_Drunkford]

the thing is Pop is actually trying to win games though

[baseline bum]

the thing is Pop is actually trying to win games though

All Pop's doing is rolling out the balls

[TheChillFactor]

"the sochan at point experiment" is blatant tanking

we may get fined for tanking like the fucking mavs did

see sig

[Tyronn Lue]

Spurs can get into the coaching rotation and end up with 5 coaches in 10 years if they had the "win now" pressure LA always has, but they don't.

[JeffDuncan]

We’re not watching the Spurs tank. We’re watching them collapse.

The dead weight is too much for the structure to bear.

[MultiTroll]

Houston Texans turnaround with a good coach and great draft pick.

We can dream.

[offset formation]

There should be no sacred cows on this team, except Wemby. Everyone else should be viewed as expendable if a trade can be made. There's simply not a viable path to the playoffs with this roster, especially defensively. So restart and build entirely around Wemby, including a team that knows how to throw a fucking entry pass to a guy who can catch a pass at 10'. It's true incompetence how often these guys don't dump it into him.

The flasher ruined any chance of us getting Ime. Would've been too much bad press

[azarel]

there's just not good enough players on the roster... outside of the top 6 players everyone else is either a prospect for development but once u put them in game and they are a negative impact... we just need better players all around... they just all look clueless on the court....

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Fuck Bud :lol

The best former Spurs assistant is coaching Houston.

[Leetonidas]

Good on OP for admitting his mistake tbh. Lol at all the other sniffers who swore this team was better than they appeared and would threaten a play in spot this year :lmao :lmao

[spurraider21]

it didnt have to be a 1 year tank. but the FO deliberately brought back the entire tank team + wemby :lol

oh i guess they swapped out KBD and Langford for Osman and Cissoko

and even with that said, the coaching has been absolutely abysmal. it just looks like everybody is freelancing on both ends of the court

[Proxy]

it isn't tanking, its the experimental stage

[itzsoweezee]

let’s not continue to rationalize pop’s bad decisions. He lost all benefit of the doubt when he decided Bryn Forbes was the most important player in the roster a few seasons ago.

There is no coaching rationale to playing Sochan as point guard. It is possible to tank without this nonsense. The spurs did it last year

[itzsoweezee]

Popovich: this season is about learning AND WINNING
Popovich: playing Sochan at point guard will improve defense

Reality: this team is worse than last year, even with the addition of a generational talent
Reality: this defense is worse than last year, even with a monster on defense added to the lineup, even with an all-big lineup

The fact is, Popovich is simply a bad coach at this point in his career.

[Obstructed_View]

Unfortunately the bad PR of Primo probably made bringing Ime in an impossibility. Unless I'm remembering the timeline wrong, that had to be a factor. But maybe the Spurs never considered him. They've done dumber stuff.

I told you this could easily be a lottery year for us

Lakers have a title and a WCF appearance in the last few years. We got a senile old man paying himself almost more than any other coach and then saying he just going to "observe"

[Tyronn Lue]

We got a senile old man paying himself almost more than any other coach and then saying he just going to "observe"They don't have any pressure to win now. Pop is the attraction there, aside from Victor. No one is paying to see G league players stink it up. You can see that for free at any YMCA.

[Ditty]

Eww please no Bud or even Brett Brown. Only coach 50+ years old I would be fine with would be Steve Kerr.

Unless the officials are allowing a Steve Kerr team to illegal screen, he is and has always been garbage.
