Spurs can't shoot

[ElNono]

defense in the 2nd quarter was great...we only allowed 21 pts... heck 19 until that lucky final shot...

we need more of that...

[TheGreatYacht]

Sit down clown. Joestradumbass.

Try again Roberto

[NASpurs]

Pop should use his connections to make Enrique disappear.

[Raven]

The start sucked, tbh... we started again on a 10pt hole and the bench had to rescue us again....

I think Pop might move Beli permanently on the starting lineup..

pretty much the exact opposite of what you just said.

Say what u want about Parker, he's playing his butt off defensively. Showing effort... No one really has it going offensively. Kawhi has forced somethings, (maybe by design?) Tim has been quiet, and Manu is still struggling. Splitter is fighting as well, missed some easy ones, but hes showing effort. But were up at halftime for the first time in what feels like weeks. We should see the good/bad in our guys and stop focusing on the negative.

Don't care the opponent, these guys just need a signature win to get the ball rolling. So hopefully we come out in the 3rd and pull away like we saw so many times last year.

lol now people have to resort to praising his defense even though he's statistically down there with Belli. He was guarding a rookie who averages like 5 ppg bro.

[RD2191]

I know we're desperate for offense but starting marco over danny is a disaster waiting to happen imo.

[Malik Hairston]

The offense wasn't as bad as it looked, Spurs missed several easy chip-shots, particularly Duncan, tbh..

The Kings' announcers kept referring to the Spurs' defensive decline, and it was evident, despite the Kings missing shots..they are getting whatever they want, despite having literally no competent players outside of Gay and McLemore(who isn't even that good, either)..this is a team starting Ray ing McCallum at PG, Jason Thompson at PF and Reggie Evans at C..

If they play the same defense vs. Phoenix tomorrow, they will get destroyed, unfortunately..

[Johnny RIngo]

slow down on that fast food. Your heartbeat is rising

No need to scream at the tv - Parker can't hear you. We're all angry about his poor play lately

[bklynspursfan]

Manu struggling? He didn't almost play the game, 8 minutes , 2-4 FG 1 block and a +4

Confirmed Enrique fan detected..

I'm a spurs fan fool... And when I say struggling I'm talking about how his shots look. 1-3 and they were bad misses.

grow up .. I root for this team, not players

[ElNono]

pretty much the exact opposite of what you just said.

...

What do you mean? I said we were on a 10pt hole, that's exactly what that shows.

Moving Beli to the starting lineup I think comes from watching Pop overplay Beli over Green in the last few games...

[hater]

Ingles sin barreras, try it

[BillMc]

Don't enjoy rooting for Portland, but would like another loss for OKC!

[MVPCues]

Spurs will win. Period.

[Raven]

i've bolded the point where beli entered. I think it's telling imo

[bklynspursfan]

Ah, so we only complain/cry for bad play here, and don't praise when we see good things from our team . Got it...

Seriously haven't seen such spoiled/fickle fans like this before. Its amazing

[hater]

Yup more important to keep away from 8th than climb up d seedings

[Johnny RIngo]

But Leonard can't statpad like Enrique. He's not a franchise player.

Parker's last three games:

3 ppg/4.6 apg/3.3 TOs on 14% shooting

Frenchie laughing all the way to the bank

[RD2191]

Westbrook is beasting, OKC looks ready for a run if Durant can get healthy.

[Malik Hairston]

Belinelli has played well, I don't have a problem with Pop playing him, but you just can't play him with Parker and expect a competent defensive team, we have over a year sample size..in today's NBA, you can't have 2 massive defensive or offensive liabilities and expect to compete against anybody..

[TheGreatYacht]

Ah, so we only complain/cry for bad play here, and don't praise when we see good things from our tea . Got it...

Seriously haven't seen such spoiled/fickle fans like this before. Its amazing

He's not a Spurs fan, ignore her like the rest of us outside of the Shortbus has

[timtonymanu]

Parker's last three games:

3 ppg/4.6 apg/3.3 TOs on 14% shooting

Frenchie laughing all the way to the bank

Yep. He's Kobe at this point. Sucks badly every game but his fans on the real MVP (Kawhi) instead to prop up Enrique.

[ElNono]

i've bolded the point where beli entered. I think it's telling imo

Beli is +2... whatever that was, it didn't last. I just think Pop is looking for more offense on that lineup, especially with Tony struggling...

[Diego20]

Anyways third quarters have always been our weakness..

[Sean Cagney]

Westbrook is beasting, OKC looks ready for a run if Durant can get healthy.

They were just waiting in the wings man, too damn talented to miss the playoffs like some idiots said earlier in the year and they will move up in the standings. They are scary.
