The old deciding to play WHite and Dejounte together when the game is lost

Senile Old Bag Pop

[r0drig0lac]

White and Murray...pop is a joke

[Genovaswitness]

wow look at what a well constructed team with SHOOTERS does to a piece of dinosaur team that only midrange shoots

poop

[Dverde]

They better leave Luka on the bench. This is a wrap

[John B]

White needs to knock those for Pop to play Murray/White together

[texbound]

Living in Hawaii these days I don't have a lot of opportunity to watch the Spurs because of time difference and work. Watching today's game it's apparent that the offense is putrid because Derozen derails the entire thing. Aldridge isn't great, but he does play within the system. However, Derozen can't do anything without the ball. He doesn't move well nor does set good screens. This offense/team would be much better served getting rid of him now. I know, I know, I'm late to the party on this one.

Who's that Smith guy, mono? He looks pretty solid, tbh.

Funny, I was thinking about how Finney-Smith was the exact type of player that would never see time under Pop. As a rookie despite his lack of shooting & unrefined game RC played him 20 mins a game, increasing a little each year. Now a 30 min a game guy shooting respectable pct from field & 3Pt

He always do that

[Mugen]

Put in Lonnie when we're down by 20 too, you old

[Slippy]

Trading 2s for 3s.

Spurs are missing just as much threes as they are giving up.

The floor spacers arnt hitting Jack. Lol

[RC_Drunkford]

Once DJ fouls out Beli gonna come back

[Mugen]

gtfo, he's not playing that lineup unless the game is over.

[FkLA]

It's weird. I was disgusted by the Memphis win and am happy about this blowout. I'm not even on the tank bandwagon, it's just that Pop deserves to lose.

[Robz4000]

White and Murray have been a disaster tonight too tbh.

[slick'81]

One of the most talented players left rotting while mills,forbes and belli literally steal $$

[Ondrej]

Mavs bombing from the arc. And our FO signed Dejounte who can't shoot for the next 4 years and Pop plays him next to De Rozan

[John B]

How about Lonnie in instead of Forbes?

[Dverde]

The stupidity...I hope he gets injured

[RC_Drunkford]

"There is the evidence that they can't play together. They lost us the game"

[FkLA]

One turnover and Poop pulls the plug on Murray-White.

I tried it and it just didn't work out

[Monostradamus]

Is this Murray dude really the guy that y’all were sayin “ if he didn’t get hurt we could have won a le” a year ago???? He’s so bad

[Dverde]

Time to bump the grandpa keys thread

[slick'81]

Murray def the bed tonight

[Mugen]

Any time the Spurs get blown the out when Forbes, Fatty, and Beli play regular rotation minutes is a damn good game.

Pop is already a sad, broken man but I have to think that even he dies a little bit more inside when his Pets get embarrassed

I think those of us who live here will tell you that we don't have a lot of opportunity to watch the Spurs play ball, either. But at least we get to see the games.

As for the rest of what you said - no DeRozan can't do anything without the ball. But he's far from alone on that. But Pop isn't going to make any moves.
