Missed the game out celebrating my birthday. Checked in here and... Wow! Just... Wow!
Who thinks this team can put it together and be a top 4 seed? Okay... Top 6 seed? Okay... Make the playoffs?

Happy bday. Glad you missed this one.
At this rate with the continued injuries IMO it's about perspective. PATFO "built" a team around Kawhi full of injury prone guys, old guys that need rest, and Kawhi himself is checked out on the injury list this season. It's too late for tanking but the season is going to get very difficult and if they continue this understaffed without guys coming back from injury it's going to be very erratic from now on.
Thanks! Yep, glad I missed it. But I am shocked. I think the Spurs could well be at a critical crossroads. The organization, as we have known it, seems rather fragile at the moment. Perhaps everything can be knit back together, however, I would not be surprised to see seismic changes this offseason.
He could have saved us the trouble and said that after the Paddy and Pau signings.
lol, I was posting that the Spurs should try and put together a package with Mills to try and trade for him last season before Houston got him, but no-one here was interested. What a ing joke. He would have been 10 times better than Mills off the bench as a 6th man spark plug.
I feel so bad about the Cousins' injury. I feel they would have absolutely wrecked the Spurs front court in the playoffs if we had to play them. They could have caused an upset. If not against the Spurs, maybe against someone else.
Does anyone know if DeMarcus had said he was planning on staying in NO? If he was hinting on leaving, I wonder if this opens up the possibility of Davis being traded? If so, would you guys consider trading Kawhi for him?

Didn't see the game. What an abomination at home.
That was some of the most pathetic offense by a spurs team in a long while. It was summer league worthy lead by D Murray & his band of 3point trash artists. A PG who has no clue who his teammates are but if he did probably has no clue on how best to get it to them.
Good luck with that pop. Im cringing at the thought we might have to put up with this kind of offense for the rest of the season.
Getting season-swept and blown out by above average teams at home is ominous..
This team was decimated by injuries back in January'14 and December'14 but they fought their hearts out during that stretch and didn't roll over meekly like this..
We are really in a bad and critical spot..
They were decimated but not to this degree. They still had Timmy D and Manu and an entire team that had just won a championship the summer prior. Kawhi and Tony injured back then were a big deal but this Kahwi is better than in 2014 and is relied on for everything. "The Big One." This season's injuries have lasted longer too. Had the 2014-15 team had these many injuries for this long they might have missed the playoffs entirely. As it was they barely made it in.
I think the team is starting to get wearied out. It's been 50 games of injuries and injury management tbh.

Last two games=bertans started=spurs winStart Bertans krewDAF86
This game=bertans from the bench=spurs lose
Alright, so we're officially in "getting blown out by the 76ers at home" territory. Cool.
And people wonder why Kawai isn't in a hurry to come back and carry this scrub roster...but of course many here will defend the FO and say they put together a really good roster.
I wasn't happy with the roster before they even started signing/re-signing some of these guys. How the heck the front office, which is paid to do this job couldn't see that is beyond me.
I thought they were going to try and re-sign Simmons for a start (if the money wasn't too much) and also look at Dedmon too.

Hope pop can see what dj has got sooner rather than later or this team is in trouble . Phili actually plays defense.
Sizers is above average team and they were clicking last night, making contested shots, long rebounds etc. it’s a tough break but Murray has to learn from this. And I’m sure Pops letting him know, and he’s a good kid with a chip on his shoulder so he’ll be better. LMA however needs to demand more touches. 18 attempts should not be enough if he’s the primary offense. And I think Bertans needs to play more. He is long, can rebound and spreads out the defense, and can be aggressive penetrating at times.
The spurs w/o kawhi are a mid talent level team that is sometimes coached better than other mid talent teams. Philly has more talent than what we played last night. They were coached better. They are hungry for a playoff. The spurs i think are just not a great team and demoralized by the loss of Leonard.
The fact that the only hope we have is "play bertans more" is a testament to how ty this situation is.
The Sixers are by most accounts above average teams, which happens over the course of a season when you only have 2 games against them. They have had the second toughest schedule in the league and are 2-7 in games where Embiid hasn’t played. SRS has them at 8th overall and while they’re on 44 win pace, wouldn’t be surprised to see them surpass that.
Then remember the Spurs are literally down three key wing players including who should be their top and #3 scorer, and are playing absolutely assinine lineups as a result. Doesn’t help that Paul and Joff are basically unplayable to be able to shift rotations away from heavy minutes with three of Murray/Forbes/Parker/Mills on the floor. Most teams would crumble under similar cir stances but the Spurs are actually pulling a few wins out of nowhere.
That said, last night was an abomination and the team should be embarrassed.
I was actually thinking about the Cleveland game earlier this week, my bad.
Kawhi was suited up!
weak rebounder
