Grizzlies reach .500, good news.

[Fireball]

i do not understand this team ...

[Ed Helicopter Jones]

Victory

Green shirt!!

[JPB]

Bad take, tbh.

Great take tbh

[hombre]

The team isn't good. But it's a win. Some of you people need to kill yourselves if your getting depressed over a win.

Some posters here would have to cheer up to kill themselves.

[DPG21920]

That was a gutsy win

[szkorhetz]

i do not understand this team ...

Beating good teams while getting their ass kicked by ty teams.

at least you understand me

[Fireball]

and ty Forbes just shoots 37% from 3 over the season? why is he on the court?

[BillMc]

Green shirt!!

You've got good taste, my friend.

[tbdog]

So Spurs beat good Teams, Jazz, Clippers, Bucks, Rockets, Heat to name some off the top of my head. Then lose to Bulls?

[John B]

If Spurs beat the beatable teams, they’d probably be in 3rd place and most deservingly so

[Slippy]

Demar stepping up again . Very efficient, dominant performance and didn't choke like we used to.

[ragas]

I know that. Last time that I checked not fouling is part of playing good defense

He had the best DefRating of all players on the court and - by far - the best NetRating. Must have done something right. Calling out a player after two minutes playing time isn't that smart. Poeltl had two fouls at the end

[EasyMoney]

Aldridge and poeltl both need to start together. No reason not to. The 76ers, Lakers, heat, jazz(their pf is not taking anyone off the dribble unless your name is Bryn Forbes), pacers are all playing 2 bigs

[look_at_g_shred]

Why tf was beli and mills out in the last few minutes of the game. Pop is so incompetent man I swear. The lineup should've been, Jakob, DDR, White, Lonnie, and Murray. It's so frustrating to watch man.

[Chomag]

and ty Forbes just shoots 37% from 3 over the season? why is he on the court?

[tbdog]

And a proteted, lets say top 14 protected first?

In for this in less than a heartbeat

[dbestpro]

If Forbes was not on the team, how much better would the Spurs record be?

[Sugus]

If Forbes was not on the team, how much better would the Spurs record be?

The irony of this is that the Spurs would be doubly better without Forbes: both because of not having to account for his defensive (and offensive) shortcomings, which would greatly improve team defense, but also because the minutes of starting SG could go to either White or Lonnie, allowing them much more room to grow. Lonnie especially... Pop has made him so self conscious of his minutes and getting pulled, it's sad to watch. Especially for a young player, basketball is all about trying new things and making mistakes in the process to learn from them, and Walker looks scared of doing anything so as to not up some games.

[RC_Drunkford]

If Forbes was not on the team, how much better would the Spurs record be?

they are 21-26. They would be 31-16 without him

[Mugen]

If Forbes was not on the team, how much better would the Spurs record be?

Probably a few games above .500

If Bryn AND Pop were nowhere near the team this year, the Spurs would probably be a Top 3 seed in the West

[Slippy]

Wonder if MJ was still playing or Kobe(RIP) for that matter. Would Pop have Bryn guarding them? Haha it's a scary thought but i reckon he would

[wildbill2u]

I hate this time of year when armchair GMs are projecting wild trades that will never happen and shouldn't happen. Thankfully, when the deadline is past, whatever happens, most of the chatter will end. Except for those who can't accept a done deal and have to bad mouth it for the rest of their lives. I gave up my feelings about Fang, my ex-wife, years ago and have no reason to bad mouth her now. And that divorce was an important part of my life. You have to learn what is important and put the small stuff behind you.
