Kudos to the guys for playing there Hearts out the last 4 games...

God, what a prima donna! The Spurs have 5 championships and the highest winning percentage in all of American sports, but you're infuriated because there's one guy, one bench player, who doesn't meet your approval. I'm sure RC Buford is crying in the shower right now because he let you down!

No one's infuriated. Just don't expect me to cheer on a fatass Italian that has no work ethic. He made no contribution to the Spurs championship last year - pulled a 2004 Hedo yet there are people here that actually want to let him off the hook because he cried after we won the le. I respect the out of Tim, Manu, Tony, Danny, Tiago, Kawhi, Patty, etc. Even Bonner had a decent series against the Thunder. Marco's the exception. Dude's just a horrible player. Guys like him have no place on a championship squad. He belongs on a lottery team like the Lakers or a tanking team like the Sixers - places where empty stats are the norm.

Dirk. I can't decide if he was slacking or just bothered by the defense.

Dirk knew he could mail it in & still win.

I'm not a fan of Belinelli's game at all, but I guess my issue with you is that you pick one guy from a very deep team that just went to the finals two years in a row and is universally lauded for being one of the best run operations in professional American sports, and you insinuate that they "didn't do anything" in the off season, and that they're somehow not very good at their jobs because now that the team is riddled with injuries, they're playing a limited role player more minutes then they should. Yes, I agree the Spurs would be better off with Wilson Chandler, Kyle Korver, Jimmy Butler, Giannis Antetokounmpo, Aron Afflalo, or few dozen other players, but unfortunately, in the real world, you can't always get a 10th or 11th guy that's a well rounded, starter-type. I thought the FO's attempt to sign Josh McRoberts was actually pretty brilliant because his energy and passing ability would have fit in perfectly, but he chose a different situation where he probably thought he'd get to play more minutes and a chance to pair with LeBron. I think it was a bad decision on his part, but I can't see how RC Buford can get any blame. Resigning Patty Mills was also pretty admirable, especially since some other teams were rumored to be offering him more money than the Spurs. Sometimes you choose the best of what's left in the off season, and that's what you run with. It doesn't mean you're an incompetent front office. It means you can't always get what you want.
