And we were like 2 plays away from being 7-0. I think our lineup is working just fine. Pop knows what he's doing. Team's don't win championships every season. It doesn't mean you have to make all these crazy changes. We were one play away from going who knows how far in the playoffs last season. Pop isn't some skitzophrenic who overreacts every time a player hits a few shots or has a good playoff series. And vice versa. Thankfully.

One word: SPOILED..
Yes. Fanbases are like that.
Start patty
goal is Championship.
Championship chances squandered makes a good part of the village angry, disappointed.
Patty is money in the playoffs. Might as well get him ready for the rotations in the playoffs.
Did you have any expectation that this group would be less than 5-2? Being good does not erase the validity of scrutiny.
Rasual has shown the ability to play unselfish, start him at the 3
Say it with me folks, "it's only one game". That is until we drop 4 spots in the rankings after one loss and get a matchup out of it. Oh then it's, "that New York game killed us!" and " ing coasting against the Pelicans!!!".
It's perfectly fine to speculate about how the guys are playing and areas where they have not been sharp. We are 5-2 but have played some pretty weak teams, and could have been 7-0 with better execution. It doesn't matter though, bc it is a process, and the team learns from those defeats and hopefully makes adjustments. One thing that is noticeable is we are not necessarily struggling to score. What has doomed us is all the mistakes, the unforced TO, the moving screens, double dribbles or travels from Danny, bad passes etc.
Personally, I like LMA game so I am kind of disappointed that he has started out of rhythm and most times the SL doesn't even look for him to score, but that is a personal preference. I'd like to see LMA more involved TBH.
Nothing wrong with basketball discussion between games, tbh...
Seriously. This, "Spurs fans are so spolied," of "Who are you to question PATFO" line or reasoning is always grating to me. Like we're supposed to just watch the games and nod just because of the Spurs' success. They want a boring fan existence, which is their right. But it adds nothing to the conversation to constantly bring that up.
Dumb homerish thread.
Considering who the OP is, this thread is on par for him.
Fans are disappointed not really because of the loses but the play against non-playoff teams. Spurs seem to have a pretty light schedule and certain highly paid players have been not showing their worth.
I like Patty, but he's never won a FMVP
I think the bench needs Patty's spark-plug scoring. I just don't see Parker fitting as well in the second unit. Just like I don't see Patty doing great in the first unit. I think Parker's doing a decent job with more of a distributing role and his shots are a little more calculated. He fits in seamlessly with the starters imo. I don't see what we're doing wrong with him. Limit his role and he's a solid player.
"Has another fan base ever been so adamant about lineup changes after a 5-2 start?"
Luckily, the Spurs 'fan base' is not represented by what you see in this forum. Most folks are smart enough to know that it takes a while for a team with new pieces to come together.
A few of today's threads jumped the shark.
but the issue wasn't blind homerism, it's unrealistic expectations filtered through the agenda bs. Some people refuse to back off their emotional high horse to actually watch and think about games. Luckily there's been some good bb talk recently.
This. Also:
It's just some SpursTalk posters, not the actual fanbase.
