Our starters suck, and I mean really suck. They're putting up negatives in +/- on a regular basis.
Coasting
Broken
To me, it's not even a question. Coasting is when there's nothing fundamentally different from the previous season and the players are clearly just pacing themselves. Every once in a while, against credible opposition, they let everyone know it. Broken is a when a lineup that once had success is flat out no longer capable of playing together on both sides of the ball and when your two best players take a giant step back.

Shut up got
This is the worst Spurs team since 2009.
Tim, Tony, Kawhi, and Splitter had a combined 35 points tonight.
Tony/Tim look bored out there...and it's hurting our starting unit. Plus we had them beat in the first half but we turned the ball over trying to get too fancy with the ball and playing down to our opponent. Spurs better wake up Saturday!!!!
I vote none of the above. Spurs aren't 'coating', they're obviously TRYING to win games. But they aren't 'broken' either. I think they're just sucking for the moment, but that's not to say they can't improve within the 3 months of the remaining season. Spurs are a proven team, consecutive conference finals appearances and a conference le in the past 2 years. I'm not ready to call them broken early-January.
exact same record we had at this time last year. Stop freaking out you idiots. It's a long season and we have not even started the rodeo road trip.
We're the idiots and you couldn't even pick the right ing team?
Both. Coasting because they continue to play down to the level of inferior opponents and are star-struck when they actually play a credible team. It's getting quite bothersome to see. Broken because both Leonard and Green have seemed to lose a bit of their confidence while Parker is simply slow. I'm just glad that no one has gotten injured yet.
Best take I've seen all night my friend
I believe that Pop is still experimenting with the bench and players. It's obvious that even having just 2 different players on the team can drastically affect the chemistry. I don't think that the Spurs are coasting, but they're definitely trying to find a way to make the team gel.
Tony Parker
Broken so long as Pop keeps going with a broken rotation.
On the flip side, starters had 72. Those four plus Green had the first or second best +/- per 100 in the league last year. Larger sample size. Of the group, I'm most worried about Green not those four.Tim, Tony, Kawhi, and Splitter had a combined 35 points tonight.
Pretty much what Knicks did to the Spurs tonight.
Black guy taunting at first, gets knocked the out and gets all confused at the situation.
Except when you look at how some of the players are playing, how can you not be a little alarmed? Parker relies on athleticism and he seems to have lost quite a bit of it while Duncan has dipped quite a bit in his production (granted he has been playing a bit better lately). Not to mention, Leonard looks very rattled out there. He has lost all confidence and is simply making unwise decisions with the ball in his hands. I know it is still January but there is certainly a few trends going on.
we're coasting a lot, but things also seem somewhat broken or out of sync. I think some of these issues will be resolved, but Parker is a serious question mark.
It's incredible our record is this good when the so-called best player has been this bad. Our bench has saved us many times so far. I don't feel confident about Parker, but then I never have tbh.
Anyhow, I've said this alot over the past few years. These group of guys have stayed together long enough. Now they're complacent and just plain lazy.
Time to move some pieces around. Duncan has like 2 years left, lets not around and waste them with this pathetic unit.
gtfo with playing down to our opponent bull ? wtf, are we pulling a clippers now? gimme a break
Unless the starters, especially Parker come around, we're probably second round fodder.
People say that when they're in denial and dont want to see what's in front of their faces. Clearly this team is trying to win, they just cant because they're so out of sorts.
Right, but even if he smartens up, Parker and Duncan are nowhere near their level of the past two seasons and as well as Ginobili's playing, he's no longer good enough to where he can singlehandedly will them to victories. For the first time in a long time, they don't have a player capable of that, which is why they continue to fail to win games they don't deserve to, unlike other elite teams, who routinely pull these types of games out of their ass.
