Game Thread: Spurs @ Sixers: Monday, Dec 1 6:00PM CST

These dumbasses. If Pop's clever ass would've just given Duncan and Parker (who is not that hurt) an easy 20 minutes, we win by 20 and his team isn't sweating a potential loss to the worst team in NBA.

CIA Pop doing this so the scrubs get some burn and experience.

Pop really needs to give up on the Ayres and Daye experiment already. Neither is really all that young so it's not like they have some untapped potential or anything(both are 27 years old). These two have had plenty of chances to prove themselves in the NBA and have done nothing but suck thus far. Move on, Pop.

[TheGreatYacht]

Get your PPG up Kawhi, earned it tonight

[jeebus]

Great game, actually. Our deep bench scrubs, Ayres, Daye, Cojo, Anderson, and Baynes get a lot of minutes, and our regular rotation guys get experience tryin' to close out a close game. Our starters get rest. We get the win. Couldn't plan an otherwise meaningless game any better.

Cojo and Baynes are deep bench scrubs?

[Uriel]

That said, when the Sixers have Nerlens Noel and Joel Embiid patrolling the paint, it is going to be virtally impossile to score against them.

[lofds]

There was a distinct lack of plays for Kawhi and less so for Boris. That was some of the most miserable offense in the second half that I've ever seen.

[BatManu20]

Ugly W. But I'll take it.

[mando6599]

Yikes, that was ugly. Yet a win is a win.

Wrong. Dat 3 will rain.

Assuming the Sixers lose this, they are now 4-48 dating back to Jan 31 of last season.

[thiste]

So the Spurs' second or third unit beat the Sixers' first right? I'll take it.

[hater]

spurs didn't deserve the win. pop shoulda been a gentleman and hand the win to Brett.

De able

[mando6599]

Weird, we practically said the exact same thing at the exact same time, BatManu!

Bonner would drop 25 on them

[rasuo214]

Last 5 games for Kawhi = 19.8 ppg (54% FG 47% 3P) 8.4 rbg 1.8 spg

[mystargtr34]

Damn MCW is shooting 34% from the field this season.. this guy is the epitome of an inefficient empty stat padder.

[BatManu20]

I think the Sixers beat the Twolves on Wednesday to avoid setting the all-time record for worst start.

Eat and die, got.

^this, tbh

[Mikeanaro]

It was so close but they can still go for the full 0-82 mark

[littlecoyotecoin]

Cojo and Baynes are deep bench scrubs?

That was somewhat tongue in cheek, but essentially, yes. If Patty and Tiago come back, Baynes and Cojo slide back down. And, did you see Cojo play?

[Robz4000]

Outside that dunk Marco was pretty terrible. Not sure why Pop insists on playing him more than Green so much. I don't buy the whole giving him minutes to work off the rust bs fwiw.

[weeks]

marco has looked awful from deep this year. wtf is going on with him?

otherwise, ugly win, move on to the next victim

[Splits]

8 straight wins!

To be honest the whole team except for Tony sucked at the 3 for the first seven games so I am OK giving him time to find his shot.
