White-Murray Sighting; DeRozan Moping

I might have to recruit offset as Jim Bowie to my Davy Crockett, tbh.

I simply don't understand how pop puts up with DeMar's antics, like tossing balls and such. That seems like something that pop simply would not have accepted in years past

Agree. I get coddling stars. He’s not one. he’s not a Spur or the future. Treat him as you should.

[RC_Drunkford]

But he averages 20 points per game. Something Manu and Tony never did
I would trade Demar and Gay. And at the end of the season let Forbes walk.

Give all of his shots and minutes to Lonnie and he would average 20 as well, I said that before the season

[Budkin]

Doesn’t deserve to be wearing Keith Bogan’s and Speedy Claxton’s number at this point tbh

No one deserves to wear the number of “The Centerpiece!”

Lend me your knife, friend.

Here's the thing though, if asked to take on Derozan's scoring load, would White-Murray have the stones to do it?

How many times do we have to watch the both of them pass up good and/or open shots before it clicks for them?

I am particularly frustrated with White because he has one slow gear the entire game every game and never plays aggressively ever.

it's not on White or Murray give those shots to Walker. He can score in bunches if you treat him like a go-to guy. And I guarantee you Aldridge would play better if DeRozan is gone

What was funny is that I watched the game on my phone with no sound and when the Rockets had a 2-on-2 fast break DeRozan let his man blow by and fouled him on purpose. At that point I said to myself they are probably in the bonus and he just gave them 2 free throws which was exactly the case He was just lucky they bricked both like he usually does in crunch time

I lost it on that mother er on that fastbreak. I just ing yelled "wtf are you doing you moron they're in the ing bonus".

That was after two sequences where DJ had deflected passes straight to him and he coughed them right to the Rockets for easy points. Such a loser.

[tonski17]

This team is in rebuilding state but I see a great future for them. They have the players who could be great both on offense and defense.

[timvp]

DeRozan does act like the ball is oblong when he goes for a fumble recovery . . .

DeRozan isn’t in my top 5 hated Spur of all time but he’s getting pretty ing close.
1. Rodman
2. Bogans
3. Charles Smith (the dude has a super cool nickname and all this hype and I fell hook line and sinker for it)
4. Novak
5. Vaughn

Can somebody tell me how many minutes the Spurs have had a lineup this season that consisted of at least two of: Forbes, Beli, or Patty?

I know that White and Dejounte have seen about 15 minutes TOTAL this season so I'm really interested in the first stat tbh.

Somebody please tell me I'm wrong but I'm getting:

Minutes that at least 2 of Beli, Patty, and Forbes have been on the court this season: 413 Minutes
Minutes that Derrick and Dejounte have been on the court together this season: 10 minutes

[Collins21]

For the sake of the team this is the truth. Just play around LA like we did two years ago it will be better than this.

Timvp & Offset: “Hey Harvey Weinstein has done a lot of good too. Let’s not forget that”

To be fair to my POV, I am furious with some of pop's lineups. I cannot stand Demar and his style of play nor his immaturity. LMA fails to seem fully engaged at times. Bryn has no business starting because his D is abominable often times, especially when paired with DD. I wouldn't mind seeing DD traded. Etc.

But like you, I can say all of that without calling people fa#g*t and making debasing comments about a player based on nothing else than poor play. I find that unacceptable.

"Pulp Fiction was worth at least 10 sexual assaults"

[timvp]

Real talk: Pop has his hands full with LMA and DD as his two man players. He can't yell at either one or else they basically shut down and quit.

Not even Jim Boylen would be that stupid. Even Fred Hoiberg would know better

That was basically my point except mine was the vulgar version and got offset in a mini rant. It’s just annoying seeing them act that way and you have a guy like Lonnie who gets benched for any mistake and he doesn’t complain or even how Danny was treated while he was here.

I agree. I do chastise many on here for it too

A live look-in at Pop attempting to coach DD or LMA:

[Joseph Kony]

glad someone else noticed. when they replayed the forbes shot that went in and out, dude was stone faced on the sidelines starting off into the distance. he doesnt care about winning at all, and it's painfully obvious

Again, Not to beat a dead horse but you want to Keep that together for the hopes of missing out on a lottery pick so you can make the playoffs as a 41 win team? Also you don’t want Derozan at ANY cost and want to run it back?

This is not healthy. Losing is not healthy. Treating LMA and Derozan like that in front of the youth on a non contending team is not healthy.

It’s toxic and the results prove it.

What about minutes without ANY of Forbes, Marco, or Mills?

Maybe 2 or 3 in blowouts where Metu played, maybe?

[Dennis the Menace]

Disappointing loss against the Rockets after having a 25-point lead. Not really surprising though since the Spurs lost all momentum late in the second quarter and never got it back.

Few interesting subplots:

1) The duo of Derrick White and Dejounte Murray looked really good. Defensively, it was all we could have imagined. The Rockets tried setting screens with their guards to free up Harden and that duo just ate it up. Houston had to start running different plays. Offensively, it looked fine. Improved passing and pace in the small sample size; White-Murray played the final 4:46 of the game. Pop has to play this duo more often.

2) With White and Murray on the court, DeRozan was off of it. Was it because he wasn't playing well or Pop is so paranoid about spacing that he doesn't dare play a lineup that features White, Murray and DeRozan? If it was the former, that's understandable as DeRozan was just being a sourpuss out there all game long anyways. If it's the latter, I don't agree with that decision. Houston's defense isn't sophisticated enough to take advantage of the lack of spacing.

3) DeRozan's moping is getting out of hand. Tonight, he was moping all throughout the game and then when he was on the bench for the final 4:46, he was barely watching the game. He was sitting on the end of the bench showing no emotion and not even attempting to watch when his teammates were standing up in front of him. I'm officially on the don't-extend-DeRozan-at-any-price bandwagon.

It took you this long????
