This Team Is Done

LMA, Parker and Gasol have fallen off a cliff. I hate the lack of defensive resistance by Gasol and its rubbed off on LMA who is way too passive.

Tony Parker is simply not very good and needs to sit the bench until he can retire or be shipped off. I'd rather have the kid from Argentina out there along with Patty as the point guards. He plays tough, moves the ball and can hit a 3.

I hate to rip Tony Parker so much but time waits for no man. He can't cut it anymore on a semi-regular basis. One good game out of five or six is not gonna work.

The Bulls aren't a bad team. They aren't true contenders, but they aren't bad.

Look it's obvious this team has a lot of work to do. But geez, we had the 2nd largest pt differential last yr and where did it get us?

Like if we beat the clips in LA in a couple weeks , how many people will change their tune? It's the fickleness of this site that gets me.

The regular season in general has always been a tuneup for us. With so much turnover, that's the case x1000.

I'm not changing shit. I never said he did, I said he doesn't maximize what he does have and nothing's changed in that regard. Either way, they're not good enough though.

You overly sensitive idiot(s?) took it and ran with it and because you're so easy, I couldn't resist baiting you, but I like Leonard as much as most; he's just not a play maker for others.


And it's not one game. This game was symptomatic and a microcosm of their issues, but this thread would have applied weeks ago and it will months from now.

I, along with the others, have never been that much optimistic for the whole year. This season's 1st quarter has been filled with bad teams with only GSW, Clippers and Rockets being games worthy of noting.

Yeah, your weak-ass said that in 2014 too, for basically the entire season. Then you celebrated at the end like you are a real fan.

Dragic is there for the taking, Riley is trying to free up cap space & tank. Pau to the Celtics; Smart/Kyle/Amir to the Heat.

Heat starting the likes of McGruder/Derrick Williams/Babbitt:lmao

It was an impressive win but did nothing to convince us that this team is a legit contender. The fact they had to come back from 15 down against them in the first place was pathetic.

meh

only two people got to the FT line.

Only 5 FTs all game

Manu 0 for 9.

Lose by single digits on the road

I'll take it.

This team is still learning itself. That they can do that and remain at the top of the standings in the process is something any other NBA fan would gladly accept for their team. How they can overcome adversity, command momentum when needed, right the ship, turn the worm... all that factors in to building character.

They had a bad night and fought through it. That's better than a blowout win in an otherwise meaningless game.

The bench has the chance to be good if Bertans and Simmons improve.

The starters just don't have enough juice outside of Danny Green and KL. They just don't. Sad.

I went to the home game against Dallas when Pop sat a healthy, 31 year old LMA and the team was outplayed by a D League team. Kawhi and Patty made just enough big plays to win it.

seems pretty NASF to freak out about a loss like this in december. I tend to think back to when the team sucked until the rodeo trip.

The officiating in this game was wretched. Five FTs might be the lowest total of any team this year.

You started a narrative that blew up in your face now you're running away from it just like Softridge does in Gm 5 of a playoff game.:lmao

I wouldn't take it for the simple fact that we'll see the same problems over and over again. Manu has been sucking it up. LMA has gotten less than 10 points in 3 out of the last 5 games. Pau continues to be a liability. Porker has been bad too. Spurs have had slow starts to every game. Defense has been bad. FT disparity has been bad too. This will all come to bite them.

Ahhh well, this is a cliffjumping thread by TD 21, but we knew they needed a quality guard and Pop stood pat with Tony and Manu.
It's not difficult to see where the team will come up short.

This isn't really possible. If your team sucks that bad, you'd be down there with the Lakers and Nuggets, not number 2 in the West.

You need to include Manu there buddy.

They have all fallen off cliffs.

Kawhi is carrying them, with sometimes help from someone, some roleplayer, Mills often, Lee sometimes, Bertans sometimes, etc.

Softridge is a mentally fragile bitch who shrinks when things aren't going his way, Pau plays ZERO defense, Porker has one fluke good game every two weeks & Manure is TOSB. Good luck depending on that come playoff time.:rolleyes

They're more than a fourth of the way through the season and there's been zero improvement/chemistry built with the SL. At some point they need to come to terms with the fact Gasol is a bad fit.

Another game that Manu was abysmal and was throwing the ball all over and playing horrible.
He just wasn't saved that game bc Mills came up shooting blanks and was 0-8.

Yeah, it blew up in my face because some no life idiot(s?) cried and whined because someone told the truth about a player they worship and jerk off to.

But...but....but...it's Kawhi's playmaking that's holding back the team.

:cryThe only reason Softridge isn't making WIDE OPEN shots is b/c Kawhi isn't passing him the ball.:cry

Difference is those past teams had an identity and a piece named Tim Duncan. You're right that it's still early season but the team is in a restructuring season.

Kawhi
is really the only good thing happening this season.
I would scrap it, play the youngsters and send Manu and Tony to retirement.
