Game Thread: Spurs vs Grizzlies - Feb 1 - 7:30PM CT

its crazy how the modern game has passed this coaching staff by so handedly. Just open 3s for the other team and nothing but tough long 2s for the Spurs. I cannot wait til they get in a coach that understands modern day NBA basketball tbh.

They spent so much of the last 3 years zagging, they never learned how to zig.

White not looking so hot. I know there is a rust factor, but...damn.

[TheGreatYacht]

They're more talented, Ja is three times better than our best young player, it is what it is. We need to tank to get some real talent, simple as.

Their coach is 3x more sane than our washed up never was tbh

[Barfunk]

Just a piss poor offensive system as well

[daslicer]

Pop is over and I love how some guys here don't understand something obvious and are always trying to turn reality around with this "cia pop" , today's article saying "Pop is back" and other is probably the biggest reason why real stars have always praised but never thought of playing for this man.

Pop has been done since the summer of ‘17. His ego and not having anything to live for after his wife’s death is why he will continue to coach until he dies. Pop is holding back the team from going forward much like Kobe did with the Lakers from ‘13-‘16.

[Degoat]

I get yall saying that Pop doesnt understand the modern game, but we don't have modern day players either lol

[SpurPadre]

Welp, it'll be cool for Keldon to get 30 at least.

[The_Worlds_finest]

Just a reminder Poop is paying Demarre Carroll 6.1 mill this year and 1.2 next.

[MultiTroll]

What is the Spurs offensive and defensive game plans?

Grizz will lose their next game if they're still down this many guys tbh. Spurs just have a fatal flaw in their defense with LMA on top of poor defensive schemes by their coach.

Lamarcus is a definite weaklink .. coach did adjust early in the 3rd, he did the same in 1st half. Rudy Gay will never be the solution though. The other weaklink is Demar but spurs needs his offense.

They getting easy looks after running offense. Spurs are going one on one. Making it easy to defend.. thats falls on the whole team tbh

[Robz4000]

it's crazy how opposing teams are allowed to beat the out of the Spurs game after game

[murpjf88]

I would rather give up two's all day long than three's.

[Mugen]

A team without Derozan, LMA, Rudy, Patty, and the old man is so tantalizingly close. I literally cannot wait for that day and I'm still not sure it's gonna happen

[Dejounte]

You would think the Spurs' record was 4-14 with this kind of statement

[SpurPadre]

This is the White that got his ass benched in a Game 7 so Forbes can get more minutes. Bad game for the so-called "best player" on the team.

[J_Paco]

the fact that they were right with Keldon does not eliminate the fail in the 19th pick

Does it really matter, though? Would a guy playing Keldon's role have helped this season?

I'd argue last year he would've been useful and an asset, but the emergence of Keldon makes his skillset/role redundant.

The team needs an elite interior defender, two-way stud like Tatum, Antetokounmpo, etc, imo.

Or even this version of SloMo would be more useful than an extra energy guy with less offensive skill (than Keldon).

Completely terrible effort by the Spurs.

[LongtimeSpursFan]

There young guns are better than our young guns.

I get yall saying that Pop doesnt understand the modern game, but we don't have modern day players either lol

and....guess who is the head of our front office?

[TheGreatYacht]

I get yall saying that Pop doesnt understand the modern game, but we don't have modern day players either lol

We have good defensive talent and yet can’t defend a lick thanks to his outdated scheme of dying by the other team shooting 3’s

[Mugen]

I would rather give up two's all day long than three's.

Welcome to the last 7 years of NBA basketball tbh, feel free to tell the coach that

[paperboy77]

Damn grizzles gonna be a tough out in the playoffs. They don’t even have Jackson right now. They have zero respect for any of our guys. Damn

[TimDunkem]

I get yall saying that Pop doesnt understand the modern game, but we don't have modern day players either lol

And that is mostly Poop's fault. He is the puppet master pulling every string.

[Barfunk]

Pop throwing in the can with over 5 left

[Darius Bieber]

0-3 with Derrick White lol
