Worst game thread iv ever seen. Spurs fans should be making the threads not player fans...

The way this season is going tbh

[Austin_Toros]

I thought GNSF weren’t supposed to make game threads

I am a spurs fan. I don't understand, do I have to be born in San Antonio to be a fan or something? What if I legitimately like the team and yeah sure it's because of DeRozan. But I am rooting for the team to win and I watch them play even when DeRozan is on the bench. Show some respect got

LaMarcus Cartridge?

I love this spurs team. Stop watching the games then, it might be bad for your emotional state.

[r0drig0lac]

I think we bounce back and win tonight against a bad team tbh. But if we lose.. we likely also lose tomorrow night @ LAC and then again on Saturday vs the Warriors. Would be rough.

Then likely lose again Monday @ New Orleans who are playing well right now.. We’d be 1-7 in our last 8 games lol.

he should have cited the importance of Dray, Bogut and the refs

[TheGreatYacht]

Crater face is going to have Forbes on Booker all game. Get ready to wipe the old man's ass when the Suns are done with him bklynspursfan

[Allan Rowe vs Wade]

Gay is still out?

[spurs10]

Disappointing Gay is out when he has the best thing about the team in Sacramento. Need a win!

Gay's out again? He'll probably play like 50 games this season.

It's Phoenix on the front-end of a B2B.

He will probably play tomorrow.

[TD 21]

At the genius playing doctor again and pretending it's still the Duncan era, where they can plug-and-play and still win at least 55.

Someone needs to wake this senile fool up. This nonsensical team he's had a hand in putting together, in a desperate (but futile) attempt to remain relevant, needs to treat games against bottom feeders as must wins. If he wants to play his shtick, save it for tomorrow.

So you want him to rest Gay tomorrow and make it a guaranteed loss?

The only schtick that is getting old is yours. Blowing out the Suns does us no good if we turn around to get blown out by the Clips, who are playing at a much higher level.

Spurs might end up losing both tbh, so they'd be better off going all-in on the tier opponent than risk dropping all three games on this trip with the schedule about to get much tougher.

The apologist is too brainwashed to see clearly.

[Mirrornick]

DD to score 5 points on 2/19FG , book it

Trying something different this time tbh

It makes no difference. If Gay is the difference between winning and losing in Phoenix, the team isn't good enough to care about winning games. You want to complain about Gay resting at all, that's one thing, though I think it would be rather obvious he can't really hold up over the course of a full season right now. But there's no real logic against Pop using this game to rest Gay as opposed to tomorrow. Not only are the Suns bad enough to where you can reasonably expect SA to win short-handed, but you might need Rudy to take on a larger load in the second game, given that DeRozan and/or Aldridge will be fatigued. Rudy is pretty much the team's only reinforcements right now, and you don't use those at the beginning of a battle.
