The upside to this terrible team losing in the first round is that...

[SAGirl]

And it will be even worse after this season when Tony gets a contract similar to what Patty got.

I don't know how they can justify that. In hindsight Tony has been injured a lot. At least Patty has played a lot of games each year.

[dabom]

Kawhi 9 games injured for a whole half season.

derrick got injured early on in the season

tony been injured half the season

Joff injured some

Green injured a bit

Gay got injured

Manu injured a bit

Kyle injured some too

Brandon had a groin injury earlier

Bertans was injured in the beginning of the season


Patty has been holding it down all ing year. Ya pussies should complain about other bull before ya come at MVPatty.

[SAGirl]

Agreed with DAbom On this though ^
The team has had a lot of injuries... They will be much better at some point.

Manu just got injured too. If he plays 15 minutes in that game I am sure they pull It Off.

[Fireball]

but dabom is what? 10 years old? he does not have 200 bucks ...

[BackHome]

I am bored with this team it’s time to tank.

[phxspurfan]

The Spurs had money to get their players when Pau haden't signed yet. They didn't find anything in the market.

People acting like the Spurs could magically find better fit players.

Patty is still underpaid and people still ing.

?? No equivalent or better players out there last summer?

Gerald Green says o. RJ Hunter says o. I'm pretty sure Tedosic says o. The entire Clippers G-league roster in fact says o.

So many better replacement level dudes out there. Ish Smith...Rodney Stuckey... in Ben Mclemore... http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...llion-contract

I keep finding more... MCW... http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2...ms-on-contract

Jose Calderon...Ray Felton...Jodie Meeks...Langston Gallaway...Jamal crawford https://www.sbnation.com/nba/2017/6/...gnings-tracker


Pretty much all of these guys got like 7-8mil 1-2 year deals. Perfect for our situation. Spurs FO royally ed up. This is totally our problem for 3 more years. Mills was a known commodity, as he has been here for like 3-4 years. He's not getting better, he is what he is: a spark plug offense-first PG off the bench. Lacks size to play good defense. Lacks court vision to be a great PG. Not arguing that any of the above guys are the next coming of Jason Kidd, but damn we overpaid their Spurs equivalent.

Amen. This “Spurs Culture” thing is dead now, no major FA’s want to come here. A majority of the legit teams out West improves except for SA who are getting worse and worse as the season goes on.

[DeRozan m8]

Its amazing we are 3rd in the West, because this is a boring ass season as a Spurs fan.

Whole thing seems pointless, almost.

[Stabula]

Aww poor widdle babies so upset after a loss

We've had a perpetually injured core all season and still the third best in the West you dumb s

[BackHome]

It doesn’t matter everyone knows we have ZERO chance this year.

[DeRozan m8]

Yep, and we still have no chance and roll out boring line ups half the time, you passive, mediocre approving

[BillMc]

Right on daboom! I sure am hearing a lot of crickets!

+1

[Stabula]

Passive? No one here has any power over what direction this team goes, you're living in a pathetic fantasy world. Control your emotions and recognize this team has done quite well in spite of the massive setbacks its had in terms of injuries and stop being so pitiful when last game the Spurs were completely dominant.

[r0drig0lac]

the contract signed at 00:01 on the first day was a ridiculous decision, but Pau Gasol's three-year contract is even worse.

You don't know about anything pussy .

[Spur|n|Austin]

losing in the first round? So emo, GTFOH

[spurs10]

losing in the first round? So emo, GTFOH

[Spur|n|Austin]

Just a reminder that in 2015 through 45 games Spurs were 28-17. This season they're 29-16. Multiple injuries both seasons, and this season Spurs have only had their team healthy for ONE game.

[phxspurfan]

You don't know about anything pussy .

[dbreiden83080]

Right, neither do I but if it appears inevitable that there's no shot at a le or things are really going south, I'm ok with failure because it typically points to a problem and let's the FO know that something needs changed!!!!

I hope Manu plays til 50 tbh

No issue with Manu playing another year. But Tony needs to be moved on. No emotional signing Pop. It is time.

I would hold off on the TP talk. He pretty obvious looks like he’s coasting. Now, we know that we can’t probably expect what we saw in the playoffs last year from him, but I feel pretty confident that he will be much better if he’s healthy going into the playoffs than we see now.

[TD 21]

So much for that. Now they can pretend their demise was all due to injuries as opposed to addressing starting PG and style of play.

Why would a guy who missed as much time as he did, busted his ass to get back as soon as he did, doesn't play that much and sees his team drowning without anyone who can create off the dribble, be coasting?

Because the goal is to be healthy and playing your best ball in the PO. Spurs are not drowning. They are doing better than the T-Wolves whom everyone is slobbering over and that is without their best player.

Like I alluded to, he's barely played, there's less than half a season to go and the days of him playing 35-40 mpg in the playoffs are long gone.

They are absolutely drowning. The fattened up on a weak early schedule and played with vigor due to Aldridge's resurgence and the notion that the cavalry was on the way. With the promise of the latter gone, they've clearly become demoralized. Meanwhile, Timberwolves had basically a whole new team and are only getting stronger.

Bruh - the defense has been tops in the league even without Kawhi and Danny. The offense is struggling but they can fall back on top notch defense which wins.

That “strong” wolves team just lost to ORL.
