Sochan getting embarrassed. The guy looks broken

[Frenchfred]

Spurs need to get a PG for real and move Sochan back to his position and even then I’m not sure that he is good enough

Yeah if he's not going to be a good defender WTF is the point of having him starting?

[tim_duncan_fan]

The fun thing about this is that we know from the last five years of Spurs content that this will change absolutely nothing and the team will be like this all year.

I keep waffling on this every time we look somewhat possibly decent, but the truth is that we need another good and thorough tank. This will become even more evident when Devin's limitation as a ball-handler is exposed. Not saying his shot isn't absolutely insane, but we are going to need a boss at guard/wing.

We have to have a shooter and creator in one person.

[MultiTroll]

We signed Pop for 5 more years

Ya this putting Pop on a pedestal and making him bigger then the team is really workin out.

"I'll retire when Duncan retires."

[KobesAchilles]

I was going to post the exact same thing. Can you imagine drafting Duncan so del negro, Elliot and Avery Johnson can shoot multiple 3s per game and not pass it to him? Wtf

Very few posters here actually saw prime Tim Duncan. They are unaware that we actually had a franchise player that we gave the ball to like every ing play. A lot of them only saw the beautiful game so they think that’s what we always did and what we should always do. It’s why you see people defending such and such player of taking shots instead of feeding the big man. Or defending the offense in general when slowing down the game and dropping it off and not shooting stupid shots could set up your defense, it could slow down the pace of the game, and it could get your team settled down. Instead the Spurs play chicken with its head cut off type of offense.

Luka gets the ball all the time. Tatum. Lebron. Joker. Steph. Giannis. KD. Embiid. These guys get the ball in spots they want it and they make plays for their teams and the offense revolves around them. It doesn’t revolve around the role players for them to take shots whenever the they want. People here just don’t get the fact, we have a franchise player now. He gets the ball in good spots. That’s the offense. Simple as that

[Harry Callahan]

It's becoming clear that the 2024 and 2025 FRPs for SA will be very valuable. The level of interest on the defensive end is appalling tonight.

[John B]

Before the win over Suns, the Spurs got embarrassed by the Clippers with 40 pts. I'm hoping this humiliation would awaken them to play harder next game.

[Barfunk]

Cia Pop doing his part to get the Spurs to ATX, knows they won't show up to games after some losses

I don’t know how long is Wemby going to stick around if the Spurs are getting obliterated and if he is not getting the ball. I don’t know if a rookie has asked for a trade before but he is compe ive and might not want to stick around

Not really anyone to tank for. Wish Dame wasn't 33 already because the Spurs have the pieces to make a trade for a guy like that.

[Thomas82]

So another 40-point blowout huh?

[Fizziksman]

worst thing is rascal got a w/l prediction right

[Barfunk]

Pop just happy he's getting his sitting Wemby fix

[cd98]

All these pacer fans that spent big bucks to see Wemby play two quarters. That's how it goes sometimes.

[BatManu20]

Our defense is inexcusably awful tonight. The effort is complete trash. The old Pop would have these guys running suicides til they puke tomorrow morning.

[cd98]

I think it's less about the offense, and more about terrible defense. Bad transition defense. Bad three point line defense.

[Frenchfred]

Even their scrubs are better than ours.

[cd98]

But also the Pacers are having one of those shooting nights. With they way they are shooting tonight, they would beat most NBA teams tonight.

Running Victor as your 4th or 5th option is beyond idiotic. The offense is nearly as dog as the defense.

[cd98]

Pacer fan gets 15 minutes of Wemby and probably paid top dollar for that game.

[024]

Expected the b2b to be ugly especially at how gassed Wemby looked in OT yesterday. Spurs showing just how far away they still are in being a playoff team. Seeing lots of expendable young players right now.

[LakerHater]

The Holts gotta Tom Landry Pop!!

[Harry Callahan]

Those sideline t-shirts should have said "Compete" and not "Vote". Maybe they thought today was election day and took the day off.
