Seriously...Team isn’t responding and internal turmoil started by Kawhitter. Different lineups not working. Shouldn’t be losing to the Timberwolves at home. 6 - 13. Time to start unloading players and bring in interim coach. It’s over. Been a nice ride but it’s time to start over.
Gee, never seen this type of thread before :rolleyes
lock your doors. The sniffers are out tonight
I agree. Popovich looks like he has an undiagnosed Alzheimer’s disease. Spurs need to consult a neurologist to check on him. He’s losing it. His love of no defense players like Forbes, Beli, Mills and De Rozan is unbelievable. SMH.��
Alts out in droves.
The roster as it's currently built should most definitely be losing to Minny at homeQuote:

Nay sometimes you gotta protect the person from themselves and make the hard decision like when Jerry let Tom Landry go.
The Game has passed him & he doesnt know how to adjust.... They wont fire him but he should step down!!!
Yeah let Becky Hammon coach us to a 15 win season..
Pop out!!!!
Spursfans should copy Arsenal fans from EPL to show their care about the club
Pop out!!
I’ve never agreed with this mindset. Just because someone was good, or great, or even the best at one point in the past doesn’t give them the right to destroy the team, the fan base and the franchise indefinitely.Quote:

The front office is not that special. Lucky lottery picks Robinson and Duncan overrated them. Now we see with Duncan gone a couple of years how the front office can put together a competitive team.
The spurs were entertaining and had some success during the pre-pop drob era. They went to 7 straight playoffs, made it passed the first round 4x, made the conference finals, and were 5-7 in playoff series. If the post-Duncan pop era had that kind of success then it would show to me that pop is his own man and a great coach. But he’s not off to a good start and the longer he stays the more it blurs his legacy. More and more folks will wonder how much of it was him vs DuncanQuote:

The Morris sham didn't help either.Quote:

Pop: Hey, Brian... fuck you!
Buford: Sit down, son, you're embarassing yourself.
Charles Barkley on TNT: You know whut I heard, Kinny? That fool Brian Wright down in San Antonio done told Grig Popovich he's fired. What was his country ass thinkin?
How fast they turn on a guy who hasn't missed the playoffs in his NBA head coaching career of 20+ years and has brought 5 rings to an otherwise ringless franchise.
Last time the Spurs missed the playoffs, MJ had his flu game.
Tiger Woods at 21 became the youngest to ever win the Masters.
In case you did not follow Arsenal, they are now worse off.Quote:
