Game Thread: Spurs vs Mavs — Nov 12, 2021 - 7:30pm CT

[siraulo23]

it's starting to look like none of White, DJ or Lonnie are going to be what we hoped there's still time but its leaning towards that direction

we gotta hope Vassell or Primo can work out

[GAustex]

Embarrassing for Pop

[GAustex]

Luka is so smart and so good. The rest of the team feeds of his excellence. Brunson is really smart too.
Spurs are the opposite of that.

Games like this are why I think Poetl might be the Spurs’ most important/best player this year.

[JeffDuncan]

The uniforms looked perfect… for the Miami Dolphins.

Time to start Vassell in place of White.

its the only hope spurs have of not gettng raped when they will play teams with size

[GAustex]

Or Semi Pro unis

[slick'81]

Spurs all alone at 12th in the west. Play in still in sights. Only rockets,wolves&pels have worse records

He will probably start talking about how Thanksgiving is racist - He usually goes all woke after terrible games

Thanksgiving is racist though.

Na it's wrong to include DJ with White and Lonnie this season. Vassell/DJ/hopefully Primo with Keldon as a glue guy and whoever they draft next is a solid core, IMO. We're damn-near reaching ship has sailed territory on Lonnie and I think we're already there with DW. Advanced stats aren't everything, but bball ref's VORP has Dejounte as the #8 player age 25 or younger, and the TPA metric the Twitter nerds love so much has him as the #6 player age 25 or younger.

[offset formation]

Porzingis is back I think and he always rapes us. Without Poeltl I see a blowout coming. Hope I'm wrong

You nailed it. What's most amazing to me is we managed to lose by double digits (were down by 20 plus most of the second half), at home no less, despite shooting like 43% from 3 ON 30 ATTEMPTS, WITH 30 ASSISTS and shooting 49% from the field overall. Both of which were better than the Mavs. And we got our pushed in, despite those statistics, at home.

Those are signs of a ty team gentlemen....

Oh how I miss Timmy, Manu, and that little Frenchman.

[horseshue]

Mavs had a 16 more fga, 8 less turnovers, 7 more orb. That is the difference.

[DeRozan m8]

Can this team tank properly?

Losers can't even lose right

Let the Pelicans and Houston reap more rewards

This team is so ing useless and pointless

[John B]

With Poeltl and hopefully Zollins, this is a much better team.
Eubanks ahould only be a 4th or 3rd C at best
DW concerns me. Is he injured? He’s averaging like 3 the last 3 games. He can’t be a starter with that production.
Lonnie is okay as a backup. But Devin, now he should be starting over White imo

Remember this is a rebuilding team.

[Dejounte]

Judging from the rotations in this game (Vassell had more time on the court with the starters replacing White) and Pop’s post game comments, change is coming to the starting line-up. Vassell will take White’s spot. You heard it here first.

Finally. Vassell deserves it. I also wonder if walker will join the starting too instead of McDermott.

I’m loving every minute of these losses. Delusional Spurs fans and PATFO finally getting a reality check. Coach Pop can only make things worse with his usual (mal)adjustments. Vassell will be the new starting PF, White will get promoted to the starting PG and DJ will be told to take a back seat as Maestro Pop continues to show how irrelevant he actually is.

Spurs #1 priority this season should be developing Devin into the best possible player he can be.

Perfect player for modern NBA.

Everyone else has some kind of fundamental flaw.

This needs to happen.

Based on this season so far, he's the one that i can see being the one that blossoms into semi-star, or star player.

I don’t know how anyone could “love every minute” of losing tbh. Would love to meet folks like this in real life and see if they really talk this way or if it’s just an internet thing cause I never met folks like this. To be so focused on a group of fans and coach who should have no impact on you and your life is a terrible investment of your time. Don’t know when or how this became “cool”.

sorry i can't stand watching his press conferences anymore.

you and me both. time to get out the old tapes! lol

our 3pt % was better but the Mavs still made 5 more 3's than us. They shot 15 more than us lol geez i can't believe how many 3's teams shoot now a days. crazy

Brunson is the new Devin Harris/JJ Barrea
That one role player that will likely always give us fits every time we play them.
