I knew spurfan would get Stockholm syndrome with this

But he is the best player on the spurs. And its definitly not on him. Before anyone else i would blame Forbes and Belinelli, which are that bad at everything they do, that you have to question Pop why he plays them.

Bryn Forbes and Marco may be nice, hard working people, but they are not worthy of being in a nine or ten man NBA rotation. They simply are not that good. Beli used to be that good, but not anymore.

they shouldn't be in the NBA period. Only an idiot like Flopovich would start one of them and have both in the rotation

Aldridge playing tonight?

It amazes me the number of people that have jumped ship because the Spurs have to "gasp!" fight for the playoffs for the first time in 22 years. (Though 2009 and 2010 had their moments of "its over" too. And by 2011 and certainly 2012 they were a power again. One that lasted until 2017. If these are our "down years' we have not and are not suffering. All the "retire Pop" "Player x sucks" "RC sucks" is way unrealistic, even if you can justifiably criticize some things.

We're actually due to miss the playoffs one of these years. Its not the end of the world if it happens, and it doesn't mean everyone running the show is suddenly incompetent. It's just the nature of a site like this where everyone wants immediate satisfaction.

Exactly! I get that this a forum where people can rant and rave, but it is ridiculous to complain about a team that for two decades running were the most winning team in all team sports. Not just basketball, but baseball, soccer, football, and hockey as well. In a 15 year span we won 5 championships and the Lakers won 5, leaving 5 for all the other teams.

I'm enjoying this season and don't have expectations or care if we make the playoffs. Last year game 6 of the Nuggets was probably their best performance of the season, so maybe they'll give some 1st round opponent a handful....or maybe for the first time in 22 years they won't make it.

Aldridge playing tonight?

Good question.

[wildbill2u]

Exactly. Spur10. We just need to sit back, root for the team to be compe ive and enjoy the entertainment of professional basketball. Forget great expectations from any one player and give the bad ones some slack.

In addition to lowering your blood pressure, your family will probably enjoy the rest of the season more as well.

And a few beverages helps as well!

That fat nerd @TPark slurping off Jeff Macdonald

That fat nerd @TPark slurping off Jeff Macdonald

who exactly has the ing G league helped anyway. ing helped Corey Joseph turn into a mediocre point guard? It just gives young players reps in a ty fast paced game cause pop is too stubborn/lazy to coach and teach young players

[timtonymanu]

That fat nerd @TPark slurping off Jeff Macdonald

T Park and slurping McDonald’s is a daily routine for him

[GAustex]

I wonder why the tip is pushed back 30 minutes from usual ?

[Mugen]

Spurs @ home against a garbage opponent coached by a former Pop assistant?

Buzz City time!!!!!!!!!

[Ron Swanson]

PJ Washington out for Charlotte.

[ace3g]

Lyles!!!

That fat nerd @TPark slurping off Jeff Macdonald

lmao the same idiot who said he has "sources" who told him the Spurs would trade DeRozan before the season started

[TimDunkem]

I cannot watch the Spurs broadcast and specifically Sean Elliot anymore, I have to switch to the Hornets.

He "finally got a shot he liked," for Bryn Forbes.


PUKE

Spurs broadcast is going to polish that Pop turd sandwich special for the Slurpers to scarf down. What do you expect?

[Ron Swanson]

Jakob!

[ace3g]

Poeltl (lefty)Jam!!!

[RC_Drunkford]

This quarter is a prime example why this team is garbage. Spurs are better at every position than the Hornets besides the 2 starting guard spots and are only up 2 due to letting them score a bunch of easy buckets

[Robz4000]

It's time to bench Rudy for good I think.

[RC_Drunkford]

Poeltl is getting cooked by Hernangomez

The Hernangomez brothers have a history of raping the Spurs tbh.
