Season’s over. Those praying for the tank might just see it.

too late now... gonna be yet another season to see if Pop got over himself yet...

Well the problem of losing to teams missing their leading scorers is an obvious one. It's gonna get worse. Think we'll get about the same pick this year.

There's a not small chance that we get a better pick than last years' if I'm not mistaken. And the way the team is playing, it gets bigger... And then there's the lottery odds. A stroke of luck, and a top pick could be ours. Shame Stern isn't commish anymore, he'd rig the lotto for us (on top of fixing a lot of other problems that the modern NBA is suffering from).

I hope you're right! We certainly are in a downward spiral.

Yeah, I actually wouldn't mind Stern being around these days. I feel like our lottery luck would probably be better, and also, I feel the rules would have favoured the Spurs more if he was still the commissioner. What year did Silver take over? I don't remember. I really hope the Spurs can get a higher pick than 11th this time around.

Out of the top 8 with the Grizz winning tonight

Pop is either *actually* senile or all in on the tank.

The '13-'14 season. I remember it very well since the Sterling saga happened that year. Also I remember being bitter that the last LOB trophy Stern handed out was to the '13 Heat.

If I'm not mistaken, Silver took over for the 2013-14 season.

I AM GETTING ING TIRED OF THE WHOLE NBA USING OUR COLORS. WTF

That does piss me off. The Spurs were once the only team to use the colors black and white. Now just about every team has their own black jersey. Nets stole the Spurs colors 9-10 years ago when they moved to Brooklyn.

Hey. You’ll probably be saying this on Monday after they lose to the CAVS.

They aren’t gonna lose to the Cavs silly
