Go back and look at LMA's splits from January, February, March and April of his first season, he was a more efficient version of the Portland Aldridge after figuring out how to fit in.
heh...
the wild speculations keep coming out of nowhere... it's getting ugly.

This. I could care less about our record, as long as Pop enlightens us plebs on his wine and politics, I’m fine tbh.
28 mil we are spending on pgs, and neither start over a 28th pick sop re? Three bigs under contract and only two plays. Plus two sg who can't see the court. Just a waste.
agreed... just a horribly constructed team.
a lot on PG and none is starter quality. He's developing Dejounte but he's not a starer for a contender if he wants to win a le. I am fine with developing, been advocating for a while, but if you are going to develop, do not pay backups 30 million or reup Patty right?
3 bigs but he plays only 2, one of them starts in name only and has not been very good as of late.
He still has to play the guys who got paid bc otherwise they will get completely devalued.
When I said the team is stuck between a rock and a hard place what I mean is that they really need to develop some youngsters, if they aren't good enough take a losing season and get a high pick or something. They clearly need talent and have been unable to acquire it in FA, and standing pat while paying premium for old players isn't it anymore. That took them far for many years but no more.
But that culture though! Pop focusing more on his next rant on Trump then basketball sure isn't helping either.
Please sticky this thread; some of you are so predictable.
Manu had 4 fouls and the referees didn't even include this very clear one that he gives to Ingles for a 4 pt play.
only a few in spurstalk think differently, the rest of the world agrees with Manu
there was no defensive fall, schedule became more difficult, normal
Ginobili doesn't remember 2010?
Coaches have long figured Poop out. Billy Donovan in his rookie coaching year was even calling out Poop’s plays before the plays were ran.I did find it funny how Sean kept mentioning that Snyder knew everything Pop was going to run and always had an answer..
True but that is an ultra oversimplifaction.
I have no desire or stamina to debate and pore stats or whatever but Rudy was better defensively than Davis and he's a lot better than Bryn Forbes. and for the season a big part of Rudy's minutes were taken up by Bryn. Remember Davis wasn't even playing much until he had a few games where he got absolutely on fire. Previous to that his appearances were sketchy and short.
The arrival of Tony (versus his 19 games he was injured plus his injury restrictions and then his ankle injury).. but since Tony has been playing, it started a trend of ultra small lineups with 3 or sometimes 4 guards. 3 of those guards are under 6'2". The team wasn't playing like this when Rudy was healthy and they really didn't start this for real until January when unsurprisingly they went on a losing streak worst than anything encountered the 3 months prior.
The team has seen a decline defensively recently for sure and they miss Rudy offensively too.
(I am not even arguing Kiwi... let's just assume he's been missing the entire season... the team lost half of the games he played in, he wasn't even playing over 15 minutes in some of those games, so I am glossing over his absence.. but Rudy is missed)

Danny said the same happened with other coaches.. think it was Brett Brown...
Spurs basketball this season is like watching a bad slapstick movie ...
Sticky for when?
We get knocked out of the first or second round?
Why?
The season has been a struggle for sure, but if Kawhi and Gay are healthy we are having a totally different conversation. All we can hope for as spurs fans is thy Kawhi gets healthy and then we can really see what we have. If gay is healthy as well that’s just gravy tbh
The team is missing their best player. What do you expect? He makes things easier for everyone on the floor when he’s playing. Unfortunately I doubt he will play in a Spurs uniform again.
as long as you're correct, this roster clearly is not built around your best player (and neither will I mention which poorly built he is), an roster built around his best player is the rockets before Chris Paul for example
At least LMA is an All Star, tbh
we'll see after the all star break. The potential is top notch, but gotta get guys back.
A bunch of role players... Plug in a star (Kawhi) n u have the 2nd best team in the west, if not the league. Remove him and you have the third best team in the west. A bunch of role players.
Without Kawhi I'm not sure this team could beat the top 6 teams in a western conference series. With the Klaw the Spurs are a MACHINE capable of knocking off every team in their way. We saw as much last year. All you can ask for is a 7 game series with the Warriors. With a healthy Kawhi, I would have really liked our chances of getting them Bay Boys. Six games to win 3, cause game 1 was a W for the Good Guys.
I just really want to see Kawhi playing
Manu has always been frank. He knows this performance was a red flag by all accounts: Jazz destroyed them in the 1s game early in the season; they are on B2B; missing a one of their best players (Mitc ); and SA are coming off home loss, but yet they followed it up with another desultory performance vs a non-playoff team....
This not just about a lack talent at this point..A dark cloud is hovering over them and it defenitely touches up a strain in player (s)-coach, player-player relationships..
I think it's Aldridge..I'm not sure he's over himself yet.
Maybe I'll go vent in the "Aldridge is not winning basketball" threads...
Can Jamal Crawford please show/teach Dejounte Murray how to get Buckets
