    The guy needs to be benched or traded... He is no longer useful on our team in this era... And once every couple games he will make a great pass that will make ppl think we need him, but let's say he makes two great passes every game (which doesn't happen, but for the sake of argument)... Then is his shortcomings in everything else really worth that 4-6 points? We were rolling with him gone... It's no secret why we are suddenly bad with him playing

    He hasn’t played more than 10 minutes in this game. We’re bad bc Gay/Belinelli are out and our roster isn’t really built where we can afford to miss guys

    Bad starts can affect the rest of the game... That's why your starting 5 is so important... And if us being good or bad depends on Rudy gay, we are ed

    Gasol needs to shoot 3s. If he can't do that anymore he's not effective at all.

    Spurs assistant coach, Ettore Messina, gave an interview recently ("checking in with the assistants: Ettore Messina on Spurs") and talked about how we Pau, if we want to be successful. And I think he has a point; we need a ten man rotation if we are going to rest LA and DeMar, and Rudy, and of course there is always the possibility Derrick White hits the rookie wall (see Bryn last season). So yes, either we got to trade him for say an athletic small forward that can defend and make the three, or we need Pau.

    We lost this game on turnovers and rebounds. Both teams had identical FG%, 3P%, and FT% but one took ten more shots. 12 turnovers are way too much, especially when you loose the rebounds. To me, it's like DeMar is not playing as well after the Toronto game. As if he celebrated that game a bit too much. Half of our turnovers were his. And of course when we don't have Rudy, we usually lose the battle of the rebounds. So that's that.

    At any rate, I have said it in the past, I hope we trade Pau.

    This team is at its best when they play a nine man rotation of White, Forbes, DDR, Gay, LMA, Mills, Beli, Bertans, and Poeltl.

    Not having Beli and Gay means lesser players are playing, though they probably still shouldn't have lost to the Hornets. With Gay out Gasol ends up starting instead of being out of the rotation.

    The problem was the 4th quarter, not the start of the two halves. And the bigger problem is DeRozan.

    Team has a ton of problems that show when Gay and Belinneli are out.

    The most obvious of which is DeRozan's play lately. It is like he's burned out after the Raptors triple double. He's just out of it.

    Then there's Pau who messes up the chemistry.

    Then there's Cunningham and Pondexter that don't help in anyway in defense or offense.

    Well we definitely don't NEED him to be successful because we aren't and won't be... So that coach is wrong... But ultimately me and u agree... Trade gasol

    Fam... We scored like 42 points in the first half... We were scoring damn near 60 on our streak... We definitely didn't start good... Holding a bad hornets team to about 49 points first half is where u would want to hold them in today's NBA... We just couldn't score

    Everyone who is saying we lost because we don't have Rudy freaking Gay is kinds proving my overall point... We cannot win anything with this team... And merely going on streaks in the regular season is fooling us into thinking we are contenders... A real contending team shouldn't rely on Rudy gay playing or not to be good... Back when we were actually contenders we used to sit Tim Duncan, ginobili, or Parker, and still expect to win... Sometimes we sat all three and still look good on the court.... And those were hall of fame level ppl not playing... Rudy Gay in the lineup should never be the difference between contending and being trash... We have serious issues we need to fix via trade, or else we will be in this dance of good and bad every year just to get disappointed with a first round beat down
