it's obvious this team would struggle without Manu closing and winning games, tbh... he'll be back soon, just resting, chill...

Team has a different roster every game and they can't find an identity. Only consistency on this team is Pop's bad coaching.
No panic. Just a stupid loss.
Should we worry about LMA who can't hit an ocean every f*cking game that Kawhi in a Spurs uniform, even if Kawhi's on the bench 2/3 of game?
Nah. At least not until April.
This team just can't seem score. No real legitimate play makers, except for the 40year old...and oh yeah a $16m a year player who can't play in b2b's
A bunch of ROLE PLAYERS, including Aldridge
Funny how when I criticized the PATFO 4 and 5 years ago for resting player's, I got scolded by the masses including the OP for not having faith in the process and the best run organization in professional sports. Sure, It's all fun and games when they're winning but Oh, how the worm turns when the team starts to lose.
Resting players in bloated regular seasons during back to backs to help limit usage injuries is different from playing Kawhi two minutes at a time, yanking players when they're hot, and doing nothing to stop the opposing team from exploiting obvious mismatches (for example letting Hood eat Forbes alive).
There is zero statistical proof that resting players for entire games is more beneficial than managing their minutes through the course of the season, but letting them play.
As far as the rest, Pop is a product of Tim Duncan. He's one of the luckiest and most overrated coaches in the association. He also needs to be cut off from doing front office business because he has no idea how to build a roster. I know that know nothing RC buford gets all the blame and rightfully so, but he can't even tie his own shoes without getting step by step instructions from Pop.This team is not a serious contender so long as players like Forbes, Bertans, Laughverne and Murray are rotation players.
Very dificult without Manu, he'll be missed when he retires
I don't think any of these guys should be resting (sitting out the entire game) except Manu and Pau maybe. Do you mean to tell me it would have been too much for Manu and Pau to play 20 minutes each? By the time Pau's in the third year of this contract he'll be playing 1 out of every 3 games. So PATFO signs a guy to $16m a yr. who if completely healthy still can't play. Don't even get me started on Patty's contact. Kawhi's gonna have to go Kobe/Jordan mode fore this team to even make it to the WCF's.
Team just doesn't have the offensive firepower it needs in todays NBA..its that simple.
Manure Fail was invonsequential vs Gobert less Jazz tbqh
Green on the other hand was sorely missed. Hes an irreplaceable piece at this point in time
This season:
Manu 19W - 8L (+11)
Patty 22W - 11L (+11)
Danny League 18W - 10L (+8)
Manure Fail and Patty Shits play vs scrubs while Green plays usually vs best offensive players in the league
Wake me up when scrubs like shelvin mack or rodney hood go Maradroga on Green
Manu and Fatty have been closing pretty much all games they’ve played, tbh...
Keep spinnning tho :lol
Please stop abusing Hater!
The three seed ain't going anywhere.
combination of us being too old, team barely playing together, so no time to build chemistry, injuries, and Pop's bad coaching...it's like theyre doing everything in their power to make kawhi want out
even the other legendary coaches just didn't have it as time went on...
No sheet we been relying on Manus carcass to squeeze out some games. Thats a fact
And we shouldnt tbqh. If we rely on a dry mummy that will be MIA and possibly one of the worst playoff performers out there
We are doomed m
We are doomed if we have to rely on that carcass
Ragnarok.......
Twilight of the Spurs gods...?
Theres always tomorrow
Isn't he from Chile?
