Predictable response from you as well. You cannot make the argument that Rose, an MVP winner, doesn't make a HUGE impact on that team. You cannot do it with a straight face. And so what if we would've beaten them if we had all our guys? That isn't anything to brag about against that team without that player of theirs.

Rose hasn't been and can't even last a full season anymore. If this was 2011 Rose, then yes I would agree, but Rose has declined a lot since then.

This Bulls team was doing just fine without him last year too and still are a playoff team without him. Manu, Splitter, Leonard, Green >>>> current Derrick Rose. You can't tell ME with a straight face that Derrick Rose is still an impact player for the Bulls when he can't even play without getting hurt.

Lemme guess, she's getting ed by some Euroleague Soccer player?

No.

[hommeaetage]

Nando, Bonner, Ayres, Mills, Marco, all useless scrubs.

That's the thing. When you have 4-5 guys that have no business being on an NBA team taking valuable roster spots, that was bound to happen

[CitizenDwayne]

Like we said, Spurs were a -8 tonight. Spurs, with no Manu/Kawhi/Tiago/Danny coming off a B2B were -8.

Sorry, I didn't see that.

I hate betting against my boys, but it is mighty tempting, considering the Vegas s continue overvaluing the Spurs.

[SpurPadre]

No.

They must've been done with her, then. All them dudes have broads that look like that.

Been saying this for a long time but no one listens.

Get used to this guys. The name of the game for the Spurs is SURVIVAL right now. Just Survive until February 18th or so, which would be the first game after the All Star Break.

[Mugen]

People complaining about guys taking up the 10-15th roster spots tbh.

yep... gonna have to bear with this until we get some guys back

Survive? They aren't gonna die. Hopefully they can stay a top 3 seed if that's what you mean.

[Mugen]

Hoping February leads to a mass suicide of the greys on the board. Maybe TPark can take a handful out when he rolls off that bandwagon. That's my silver lining tbh.

Well, if you're using the injury argument to knock Rose, you should use that as well for Manu. But regardless, we're not in a good situation now...and it's actually pretty embarassing.

Oh I understand.. but just say it and think about it.. We have TP and Tim and we're waiting for Tiago and Green to come back to help save the season.. We've come a long way.

It's pretty sad. Surprising how stagnant the offense gets and how porous the defense gets. As it usually stands, it's not about the dropoff from your top guys to the top guys on your bench but it's the drop-off to the end of the bench that stings the most.

We literally have three competent two-way NBA players in there right now - TD, TP and Boris - and offensive flashes from Marco and some nice moments from Patty. The other six healthy players (Ayers, Bonner, Baynes, De Colo, Joseph, OJ) else shouldn't sniff the court outside of garbage time for any team in the league.

Next games:

Vs. Sacramento
At New Orleans
At Washington
At Brooklyn
At Charlotte
At Detroit
At Boston
All Star Break

Just go 4-3 or 3-4 in that span. All I ask for...

Manu has been EONS better than Rose was this season. Rose this year basically = game 6 / 7 Manu.

This whole "I'm cool because I'm black named and you suck because you're a GNSF" thing is so lame and childish...

Nando, Bonner, Ayres, Mills, Marco, all useless scrubs.

I don't think Mills and Marco should be lumped in with those other three guys. Those two need good ball movement to be more effective and the fully healthy roster provided that. The offense is totally stagnated right now with Parker and Duncan struggling and those four guys being out.

[Mugen]

Couple of off days to practice with the scrub lineups and some easier teams coming up. Spurs should be able to tread water until Kawhi gets back tbh.

[Mikeanaro]

Those next teams are gonna kill us they are hungry and since beating the Spurs feels like winning a ring for those ty teams, we are dead.

[SpurPadre]

I concur. Mills and Marco are NBA players and belong on a contending team in the roles they've been given.
