It was a joke game, bro, relax
The veterans are already on vacation, no need to take it back on the road to lose by 40 and be humiliated..
Damning, sobering and utterly embarrassing for supposed le contender..
I think RC Buford and Pop should take responsibility for this roster..They have to start undoing the crap they have done the past three offseasons.

You mean signing Green to a below market deal, winning the LMA sweepstakes (which while it hasn't worked out is a lot better of a deal than guys like Mozgov/Manhimi/other bigs got paid), drafting Murray, signing Simmons from the D League, etc?
They've done a tremendous job staying compe ive with an aging core three and let them go out on their own terms. Ask Lakers fans how it could have been otherwise.
Hard to get young studs drafting in the high 20s.
Kyle had a strong scoring game. Would have been nice as a four with Parker, Green and Kawhi to man the perimeter. Think he acquitted himself pretty well. GS struggled to guard him.
I think Pop may of found his position in the association
Dude kept playing. He's a Spur. His haters better get used to it; he's gonna be around for a while...
Trade high on this dude.........This was a great outcome for the organization. Heart , assertiveness, confidence, competiveness etc....... he just doesn't have! Plenty of teams will drool at his skill set but we need a different type of player moving forward I think.
What was surprising is that due to Lee and Bertans (who was a promising looking rookie) he barely played at the spot all season. Really almost not at all. Played a lot more SG than 4.
Pop has not really done him justice or put him in spots for himself to be successful. That is the life of a young NBA player... I get it. But he's in a contract year next season. Pop has to figure him out.
Frankly I really do hope Pop trades him bc I always thought he was getting wasted by Pop's rigidity, love for veterans and system. Maybe he increased his trade value and Orlando still wants him?
He needs to play to improve and grow. Still 23 and played more spotty lineups and minutes than JSimms did whose fans are complaining that he didn't get a fair chance.
Actually improved his numbers overall and efficiency from last postseason.
I wanted to see him developed by the Spurs but I mean it takes Pop seeing his 2 big lineups destroyed to play him at his likely ideal spot.
The future ...Kyle leading scorer in elimination game
Your boy had a solid postseason, tbh..

Competed More than Aldridge.
Aldridge should be ashamed probably
I couldn't agree more. I just hate that Pop has completely fumbled the ball with such an intriguing prospect. I doubt he gets moved, though - at least not before the trade deadline.
Green's been a train wreck since he got that contract and LMA's been exactly who half of us thought he was, Simmons type players are a dime a dozen and Murray isn't quite ready to take the reigns (not until he can actually make something that doesn't consist of off balance floaters) I know it sounds sacrilegious for the Spurs to actually tank a season for the lottery but that would have been more productive than signing a perennial postseason loser to a maximum contract.
We can all dream, can't we? I just don't think the Spurs can lose enough games with Kawhi to get a top draft pick. Probably relegated to pergatory of the 20s for good. It's why I'm fine throwing the keys over to younger guys for next season and developing them and maybe finishing with less than 50 wins and being in the 6-7 seed range. Can still win a playoff series or two assuming no Warriors in the way. And might get a higher pick to boot.
Though knowing this FO they'll waste it on a Euro we'll never see.
On Green, we're being harsh as a $10mm deal gets thrown around to everyone and their mother these days. He's a borderline all NBA defender and a very good three point shooter. He showed flashes of usefulness in other facets these past few series. Would I prefer to find the next Danny Green at the league minimum? Yes. But easier said than done.
ing no
You'd rather keep up a streak that while impressive means nothing than possibly draft a bit higher and grab someone Kawhi could use?
Same type of people complain about the Fat Heads of the world when that's the talent available when the Spurs draft.
I only want him moved if he's going to be in Pop's doghouse and back to 11-13th in the rotation.
It just seems like a waste. Maybe he gets to play in some rotation elsewhere and Spurs get a small asset if he's going to be benched all the same and gone after.
But Pop is unpredictable lately to me. I can't foresee how Manu retiring will hit him and the Spurs so I think they likely keep him. He's a good character guy. Him and Bertans have played very we together too if they both project to get minutes together next season bc they have such different styles and game so I think he can play more. We shall see I guess. Another off-season to put in more work with his basket moves and shooting.
I hope he is back next year, keeps improving his shot and actually plays decent minutes in the rotation.
He can be a nice role player for us for a while.
You and I rooted for him his rookie SL. We have talked about his being a point-4 for probably two seasons now, and Pop has been jerking him around. Maybe he will get a legit shot in pre-season.
Body language can tell you a lot about a person; you just must pay attention. This dude is just happy to be out there.... at some point you got to match your opponents fire! If everyone likes you in sports, you're doing something wrong!
He lulls them to sleep, and then BAM he's at the rim.
Actually, it's more like B....A.....M he's halfway to the basket. But whatever works, right? The tree sloths in every zoo in America are feeling the pride tonight.
I used to think he had no business seeing the floor but Fathead has won me over. Just needs to shoot 3s all summer.
Happy for him and I hope it means he'll play more next season.
