Game 20: Spurs vs Pacers: Sat. Dec 7, 2013 7:30 PM

[Ice009]

Ayers ing rules. This guy is ing awesome. Tough, hard nosed player that can really play the game. Excels at dunks, layups and jumpshots.

[Cry Havoc]

Indy stacked, yo.
But seriously, they have talent all over the floor. Definitely more than we do.

Not more talented. Just younger. If Duncan Parker and manu were in their prime they'd smash.

Indy Miami is going to be a of an ECF this year.

[ElNono]

Obviously but they did dip into the MLE to pay Ayres salary.

Ofcourse, but there's a long way from that to "wasted the MLE on Jackie Butler 2.0"... dude is making $1.75m... the MLE is over $5m...

[Harry Callahan]

$1.8MM for a piece of crap in Ayers. The new assistant coach from Indiana is likely 0-1 on recommendations.

[Chomag]

Being worried about this team in December is 100% cliff jumping, especially considering we have a top 3 record in the league. Everyone has looked mortal this year, same as any other year.

Pop doesn't give a about the regular season. He's a lot smarter about basketball than you are.

Ok, thankfully there are plenty of teams this year to farm on then so no concerns as long as Spurs rack in the wins. Gotcha, as said ill try to lower expectations for you.

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop got his skins because of Tim Duncan. A lot of coaches could build a "system" when Tim Duncan is there

[RD2191]

benches are overrated tbh, rotations get cut in the playoffs and elite teams usually have starters that can log long minutes during the playoffs.

[Cry Havoc]

They went 7 and should have beat the Heat dumb . That is not fools gold. Say what u want so far this year but last year was a good run.

Thunder fans wouldn't know much about being close to a le, so go easy on em.

It helps when Indy leaves their starters on the court, up 20 in the 4th qtr, yet the Spurs still have their 2nd and 3rd stringers. Granted they are a top 5 team in the league.

Spurs 0-4 vs playoff teams

Incorrect... we beat Atlanta, Golden State and Denver, currently playoff teams

Neal got $3.2MM from Milwaukee, not $4MM. Belinelli is getting $2.8MM for the same two years and is a much better all around player. IMO. This was a crap performance and we did not have one of our starters after the 1st quarter to provide interior D.

I still trust Neal's jumper over Belinelli's in a big game. Even though Belinelli is a better overall player, not sure if I trust his jumpshot when the defense tightens up on him.

Thunderup is not someone you should replay. He types in emoticons

I think we just need a second scorer

It's not cliffjumping to say the Spurs can't beat elite teams. It's fact right now. We lack the talent to sustain our offense for 48 minutes, at least now that Green and Leonard are worse versions from last year. Other teams have improved on defense and if they stop Tony, they will usually beat us because literally nobody can put the ball on the floor to score. We might get better in April, but the Spurs need to get better INDIVIDUALLY.

Thank you. At least we gave the Pacers guys some rest so they can go out and beat up OKC tomorrow night (fingers crossed).

Monta Ellis would have been perfect for Spurs .. especially in drought score

Nah, it's definitely cliffjumping. December cliffjumping.

[jeebus]

surprise surprise, Baynes plays better defense than P

This just in: Spurs fans are ing about their high expectations when the team is on pace to win close to 60 games.

Once again incompetent fans outing themselves by putting stock in a regular season coached by Popovich.

[ElNono]

Spurs are fine... the only question is how long is Tiago gonna take with that calf...

How about getting better before April. This was a total beatdown. This hasn't happened often at home, but they were awful tonight.

[RD2191]

Spurs fans going the route of dallas cowboys fans, tbh, living off of old championships.
