Game Thread: Spurs at Timberwolves — Nov 18, 2021 - 7pm CT

[Sugus]

We're definitely tanking.

I was actually looking forward to the game after I read that Jakob is back, but I just switched channels and saw Eubanks so I'm ready for the tank to keep rolling.

I'm surprised at how low-key obvious the tank has been this season. I hadn't been watching the last few games, and saw the Clippers one the other night, and it was just extremely blatant. That 3rd quarter lineup was straight-up tank move. Turns out the FO does have a direction after all... I'm fully expecting an L tonight, unless the Wolves manage to outtank us.

[Leetonidas]

Lmao this is ing embarrassing

[GB20]

If this lineup is not working out, why is taking Pop so long to change it?

[poopbox]

Says the game started 10 minutes ago but we still got 0

[objective]

mistaking bad coaching for deliberate tanking is a decent coping mechanism I guess.

Broadcast says Pop was going to start Poeltl but wanted to keep the continuity of the last 7 games. The continuity that went 2-5 with wins against other lottery teams?

[YoungbuckMurray]

Team is a joke

Yeah this team is not tanking, we are just bad and we definitely have bad coaching.

[james evans]

This may be the worst Spurs team in our history. I'm talking about including the 87 and 97 team. Add in that we have the worst coach in the league at the moment.

Exactly they aren't tanking, they just suck and the coach is senile

[mo7888]

So...who's the top prospect in the draft?

[Slippy]

Terrible start. No ball movement crowded keyway.

Hopefully bench can up the tempo. Need some easy shots

[pRoshi]

Is this real

[james evans]

I'm just hoping Pop gets his 23 more wins and leaves. I hope they don't let him draft another player no one has heard of just to send him to the Austin Spurs. This is getting ridiculous. We went from the best drafting team in the league without lottery picks to being a lottery team and can't get lol

[emanueldavidginobili]

Lmao I guess i'll tune into the Austin Spurs and watch Primo tonight instead of this show.

[GB20]

Pop should have retired when timmy and Manu did.

[BackHome]

So...who's the top prospect in the draft?

There's a new Game Theory podcast this week from Sam Vecenie that has a general, non-team specific mock draft.

Top 4 were Banchero-Holmgren-Jabari-Baldwin

He did a similar early mock last year that had Cade-Mobley-Green-Suggs, so nearly pick for pick

[Chomag]

Pop isn't tanking y'all sad part is he is trying to win games but yeah...

[james evans]

He should have ran that ball boy over. he knows better.. wtf

[PhantomDashCam]

Vassell balling

[SPURt]

Absolutely terrible quarter, but the Spurs are gonna win this game.

[itzsoweezee]

It’s ridiculous that Vassell isn’t leading this team in minutes (or even close)
