That was a bad possession

[ElNono]

Love those Patty's HEB commercials, tbh...so much culture...

White isn't a wing, and while the improving defense is nice to see it coincides with the Spurs playing ty offensive teams outside NO (AD played through an elbow injury in that one). At the end of the day there's only so far a defensive system can take ty defenders, and we're starting to see the limits. No problems with Gay, I like what he's been bringing on both ends.

It can only take em so far true, but they also aren't the defensive joke some make em out to be. Effort is a big part of it

And true about White, but he seems capable of guarding some of the better 1s/2s. Which is big

[8FOR!3]

Poeltl really making me appreciate Gasol's skillset, Jakob has stone hands.

[Mirrornick]

DD with 3 turnovers which is almost unheard of.

Yeah, Pau is still WAAAAAY better than Poeltl. Amazing there are still folks who thinks Gasol is a problem.

[007nites]

Why does forbes look depressed every time the camera pans to his face?

He can guard PGs for sure, but the bigger twos like Harden/Thompson/Holiday/Wiggins he'll be helpless against. This is where they needed a legit wing defender.

[DMC]

This team is weird. Not feeling like a Spurs team, not really.

Any big in the NBA currently is better than Poeltl

[Amuseddaysleeper]

DeRozan and Aldridge aren’t first option players if you want a successful team

[bklynspursfan]

Wow White lol

[Robz4000]

Spurs don't have enough to get over the hump.

Pau's a ST target because at this stage of his career he is very inconsistent. Good games mixed with awful games. But for this season, he is a vital cog. Poodle belongs in China.

[SpurPadre]

Because he knows he ing sucks.

[Mirrornick]

LMA is a rebounding machine this game

[Mirrornick]

DeKobe

[bklynspursfan]

Who fouled him lol

[RD2191]

lol he ain't even on the floor

In general, got. We need another offensive threat besides DD.

[Mirrornick]

We already do

Forbes got

[DAF86]

Get Gay in there for Cun to finish the game off.

[bklynspursfan]

I guess that's where we need Dante. Another guy or 2 would be great. But it is what it is. I'm hoping DeRozan continues to improve on that end, cause he's got good size

[Robz4000]

Combined with the right pieces they can be a top 4 team in the West, but the problem is the Spurs surrounded them with the wrong ones.

[John B]

I just don't understand how people look at this team and think it can compete with any team in the West outside GS. Yes, LMA and DDR are stars and are good enough to get a team to the playoffs, but the rest of the pieces around them fit horribly. Like, did Pop and RC seriously think having Forbes, Mills and Beli on the team together made sense? Or having Cunningham as the only defensive wing (who sucks ass on offense)? I understand Murray going down hurt their plans, but that's no excuse for these personnel decisions. Been said ad nauseum, I know.

It wasn’t in the plan that Kawhitter quit and sabotage getting us a fair trade. Great we got Demar, but could’ve gotten OG and Siakam as well if he cooperated more. On top of that we got our budding PG, 1st round pick injured, barely got White back. Gasol being healthy could help too. What you see is not planned. Spurs is doing great at 7-4 and getting better both offensively and defensively. Hey, it could be worse. Knicks has not been in the playoffs for since when? GSG.

[JPB]

Put Manu in ffs
