Missed FTs? We got it. TO off the inbound? You bet. Foul a 3-point shooter while down 3? Why the not? Give up a crucial offensive board and then let them get a dagger off 2nd chance points? My favorite!
It's comical at this point. I don't expect us to win close games anymore. We could be up by 15 with 2 minutes left and I wouldn't feel remotely comfortable.
This team is pathetic without Kawhi, and as of now they don't even deserve to be brought up with other elite teams. No fight, no intensity...it's honestly sad. Sometimes I can't tell whether I'm watching the defending champs or the god damn Knicks.
The myriad of ways in which they piss games away is truly unbelievable. And yes, I'm having a January meltdown. This team has been so agonizing to watch this year. I typically don't give a about regular season games, especially not ones in January, but I'll be damned if this isn't one of the most frustrating seasons I've ever experienced. I'd rather watch a ty team be ty than a great team play mediocre.

The meltdown threads are actually justified this season. We already have more losses than our entire last season, and s just not coming together. Can't make free-throws, can't finish in clutch situations, and the defense is looking horrendous.
Either the Spurs get their together in January and get Kawhi back, or its time to throw the towel in and tank for a better draft pick.
Best rant/meltdown thread yet. I agree with OP....
Odds the previous three posters are the same person?
I said it on the game thread... this team has yet to put together a 48 min game where everyone is mentally engaged... we do it in spurts... maybe a quarter, maybe two...
Getting Kawhi back will help masquerade things a bit, but the team entirely has to just take games and every possession seriously...
Team has issues right now.
The rube-ish optimists will tell you everything is all right, these are the Spurs! SPAM! We're the Champs! But aside from Kawhi's brittle hand and Tony Parker's inability to heal and unwillingness to play through pain, the role players that were so essential to last year's run have been mediocre to awful this season, Boris being the primary offender. Danny Green is a soldier, but he's obviously getting worn out by having to be the team's only capable perimeter defender while Kawhi's pussy heals. If Duncan and Manu aren't playing at an All Star level in any given game, you can basically add another one to the loss column.
It's absurd this team has to rely on its two oldest players, but it is what it is.
ing chokers. that being said try being a cowboys fan.
"Who says the Spurs are boring?"
There should honestly be circus music in the closing minutes of all of our games. The type of laughable blunders we have is seriously ing hilarious. You could have a nice 5 minute blooper reel just from the dumb we've pulled this season alone. Include the past 10-15 years or so and you have a full-length movie's worth of material."Who says the Spurs are boring?"
The Spurs have never owned a championship swagger. If they did, we'd be looking at a potential 3 peat this year, instead of the predictable meltdown.
Are they playing like champs? Nope, more like a team who gave a championship away.
There is still plenty of time to right the ship, but yeah, we suck right now. Spurs choked this game away long before the missed FTs and botched inbounds pass. Real talk.
Try being a Clippers and Chargers fan.
GNSF meltdowns are hilarious.
The team just won a championship last June.
Foul a 3-point shooter while down 3?
and he shoots 92% FTs
The team is playing like dog , but this take is beyond moronic. The team is obviously in a championship hangover and is letting a ton of winnable games slip away. Pretty frustrating and disappointing especially when Duncan and Ginobili have been the main culprits in at least three of the close losses.
Sure it was a choke...if you were to dial up all the wrong things to finish a game your team looked to be winning, look at this game. But this is the regular season, we're out our finals MVP, Pop is experimenting, guys are not focused (free throws, rebounding, out of position defensively), the Spurs are running the same plays but with terrible timing on screens and people are just out of position...these are things that are correctable. They will be corrected when the team is fully back and Pop pushes the regular season panic button--which looks to be after the AS break.
But Mills is back. What can go wrong?

Everything that could go wrong went wrong, I'm not even mad, that was amazing tbh
This team is not championship material right now. And spare me the injuries talk; this team shouldn't need Leonard and Parker to beat the f*** Pistons. Every single player on the team has regressed and it's showing on the court right now. Sure they have time to pick it up, but it's already January and I have yet to see any signs of improvement.
Agreed that this has been one of the most frustrating seasons ever. That being said, if this is the price we must pay for 5, it's worth it.
So stop ing following them.
MAN I am a Fins fan, beat thatNow that is a bunch of chokers right there.Damn right man, 5 was sweet! That makes this here absolutely tolerable. This is frustrating and NOT our Spurs by any means but I remember them getting 5 and say it was worth it...
If you told me after 2013 they would win a le the next year only to fall off the next year and get a later seed and show signs of age then I would smile and say cool I take it. I have to keep reminding myself of that, all I wanted was 5 and they got it.How many times have we said that this year with everything goes wrong? It seems it's just what it is right now. I have heard this in the past as well from games and they were fewer and far in between but this year just seems like a given. Oh well I still got love for the team and think they can maybe turn it around and I am still very proud of what they did last year man. If they fall off this year so be it, was meant to be.Everything that could go wrong went wrong, I'm not even mad, that was amazing tbh
Let's hope he remembers where the panic button is, tbh.
You guys don't know the meaning of pain.....Buccaneers fan here. We don't even get a chance to choke....the season is normally over after 4 games.MAN I am a Fins fan, beat that
