It's hard to win games when:
Mils, Simmons, Dedmon, and Lee shoot a combined 8-22.
TEAM LOSS.
Jefferson never made an All-Star team let alone being 2nd team All-NBA.
Jefferson went from being a very good player to being an average role player, Softridge went from being an All-NBA player to, at best, a boarder-line All-Star. He's basically on that Carlos Boozer trajectory.

Pop has said that... you can't make a guy be a compe or if he's not...
Porker/Softridge: 6-21.(34 mill)
All he had to do was get his body between Speights and the ball and lay it up, not even dunk it. He needs some angry pills.As I said in the game thread, Aldridge's reverse layup attempt off that beautiful pass fro Anderson was ing disheartening..easy 2 FTAs or a dunk if he went up strong, but man opted for a circus shot instead
you've manipulated some of that do entation tbhI hate Aldridge more than anybody on this forum(well do ented
I don't know why Pop benched him tonight, though..they still had a chance to win the game..
I see that but if either group shoots 50%, the Spurs get a W.Porker/Softridge: 6-21.
I see this as a schedule loss. Back to Back games and Pop going with half a bench. Tomorrow both Parker and Gasol get the game off to rest.
How is this a schedule loss when the starters crapped their pants in the first half?
The Bench making 3 more shots wasn't going to make a difference when the Cripples had a double digit lead until Speight's careless consecutive turnovers in the final minutes.
Did Pop play his full compliment of players? Yes or No will suffice.How is this a schedule loss when the starters crapped their pants in the first half?

Think about the bench for instance. He was down, the 3's weren't falling...Bertans is sitting there, why not play him? Pop will use him tomorrow. It's a schedule loss, a National TV one at that. But Pop has done this before. His team didn't execute but Pop didn't make any real adjustment other than the You must participate in your own recovery, card. He played Murray a little but it's not like Pop went all out to get the W. He played it pretty conservative. Stuck with the players taking bad or forced shots or simply missing open shots. Them's the breaks.
Oh so, Manu was going to help in the PnR coverages & he has played well against the Cripples such as the 2015 playoffs.
The Cripples could have scored more points by attacking Pau instead of letting Austin Rivers ISO b/c they had a comfortable lead. The only time the Spurs beat the Cripples w/ the current core was when Softridge manned up & went at Blake, tonight he was softer than a babies butt.
"It's the same for every team. You're going to go back to the film and see what you want to get better at and look at players who you really trust. Who's going to be on the floor at the end of games come playoff time? That kind of thing," Popovich said. "Win or lose, it's a matter of improving. That's the deal."

It is very much the same -tease act RJ pulled with us when he gives you a hot week and you start thinking he's figured out in the system only to revert to passive and wild inconsistency-- rinse and repeat..
Short of a compe ive series against GS in the WCF, PATFO better not keep deluding themselves with this Aldridge situation..It is going to be the Millsap/Hawks act of the the Western conference.
The path toward "building around Kawhi" has to be explored this summer in earnest if they get shown up again in the postseason..
100%. Time to pull the plug on the LMA and Gasol experiment. We need a legit 1 and a legit 5 to pair with Kawhi and we can dominate. You can fill the 2 and 4 with existing scrub assets (e.g., Green and Lee) and be fine. We need an elite point guard and a dominating big man. I'd love to see what Cousins could do in the Spurs system with a steady hand. Add Paul and we're neck and neck with GSW, IMO.Punked by 40-yo Vince Carter

neck and neck with GS? Am I the only one on this site who actually saw the first game of the season?
The main issue is that the Spurs don't have a more dominant rebounder/above-average-to-great defender to pair with him (outside Dedmon who hasn't developed as was hoped thus far) and a playmaker to get him looks in his spots consistently to get him going.
It was a fluke which is what the naysayers want to believe.
God OP is a flaming got.
LMA was better last year. I don't know if it was losing Tim or what, but he has looked eh for a few weeks now. I'm not hating on him bc the Spurs need him to win a le. But I'm concerned about what appears to be a down year offensively. Say what you want about improved defense, we need his scoring on the low block vs GS or Cavs, or even Clips and Rockets.
No.
Something is off with him this season for sure, maybe he has some personal going on, but you can see he is not mentally there in every game, something we didn't have issues with last season. there's been times he's locked in and he looks like the best PF in the league and other nights he is passive and soft and looks like a bench player. Spurfan needs to hope this dude pulls his head out of his ass after the ASB...we know Kawhi will be fine, but Spurs NEED aldridge to be that other scorer for Kawhi otherwise we're ed
Bump..
Still standing by this view: The Spurs won't go anywhere with him as major cog..If this is how he will go out in these playoffs, I would assume they will seriously to look to shop him even with value tanking..
But...but..but..Memphis front line
Still trying to find excuses for this got after his ty season
It's like people forgot how much he the bed against OKC after the first two games
buh buh 41 points.
That's the thing about La got. He will show up only when the team is in good position but when the pressure is on, he makes Matt Bonner look like Tim Duncan when it comes to pressure.
lol you guys dusting off this
