Eh, they weren't gonna win in Oakland or Portland anyway. Just hope they can find a way to win in Sacramento.
Funny how DDR playing horribly wasn't such a problem, resultswise, But White missing 3 games makes the team garbage....
But sadly, it is true that 26 mil spent for DDR don't buy what 1.6 mil buy from White. Time for DeMasculated to show he has indeed a pair.

Time to hope that Lonnie Walker IV plays like the all-star that he's destined to be!
lol at people thinking Pop will start Walker. When has Pop ever started rookies? Nephew was an exception. Pop will probably start Bertans. If not him it will be either Pau or DPOY Dante. I also fully expect DeFrozan to show up, even with a higher usage rate he should continue shooting under 50%
Trade precaution?
Pop called a guy up from the d-league on a ten day one time, and started him. If it's a short term situation that will resolve quickly, Pop will literally start ANYONE to avoid disrupting his entire rotation.
Got damn it. Welp, might as well hold him out until after the All-Star break now.
Derrick white !

Yeah, I can see that.
This is laughable.
I don’t know man. With no Murray, DeRozan playing so poorly it’s not that far fetched. To be a lottery team in the West isnt’ some shame. AD can’t even lead NO to not be a lottery team.
I know a lot of you are really ty Spurs fans with little to no clue, because of you post like this.
Pop started Dejonte as a rookie recently. He did it with Kyle. He does it virtually every season.
This.
Think some of these cats are quasi spurs fans while Lakers suck tbh. Grew a fondness for Spurs after the years of feuding and once Kobe ed the franchise over they drifted over here.
There will be teams in the West who miss the playoffs with winning records, but lets put this statement in the context that all along the way Spurs fans have underestimated this team. They'll find a way to cope not having White for a few games. Anyone who feels the Spurs are in danger of missing the playoffs should let me know if they're willing to put their money where their mouth is because I'm sure we can come up with a bet I'll take.
I may be missing the context, but I think they were saying that when SA doesn’t have White, they play closer to a lottery team level. Not that White out 3 games means SA will tumble down into the lottery
i been a Spurs fan for over 20 years dumbass. Pop started DJ for 8 games as a rookie. And he only does it when there are plenty of injuries around. Pop's system is next man up that means if his starting PG is injured he'll start the back up or the 6th man. Not the 15th player in the rotation.
Even with that other context, if Derrick White was out for the year this team would not miss the playoffs. He's a great prospect, but he's not the singular reason the Spurs are where the are and while the Spurs have a much diminished margin for error than in years passed I don't think that a team with LMA, DeRozan, and Gay is going to miss the playoffs because of Derrick White. Demar struggling at the same time as White's emergence have led people to really overvalue White's current contributions while dimishing the player that they view DeMar as. I'm extremely excited about White, but as per usual Spurstalk posters are overvaluing a young prospect while diminishing a proven All NBA guard on this team.
I've seen this before. Its a Spurstalk tradition by this point.
Wow so you mean he might start Walker when there's injuries? So, maybe if White is injured and out he'll turn to a rookie to not upset a rotation? Crazy because that's exactly what you said Pop never did in this very thread.
You could have been a Spurs fan for 40 years. The length of time doesn't matter.
Well, we just have to disagree. White’s impact is objectively better than any guard on the team. Past grievances aside, I don’t think anyone is overstating White’s impact here. The team would be worse, in a year with no margin for error, without White.
The team - in the long run - will be worse without White. Over the course of a few games, you can get the same W-L record with or without him, honestly. Spurs were likely at best going to go 1-2 in the next three games. They should still be able to beat the Kings but will likely lose the next two which I think would have been the exact same scenario without White.
EDIT: In fact that's probably a good reason to rest him. I think White definitely moves the needle against the Kings whom we're not sure to beat with or without him, but against GS and Portland on the road does he really make us more likely to win? Maybe a bit at Portland but not at GS.
0-3 losing streak coming.
out of 15 players on the roster 14 are healthy. For Walker to be starting at least 2 SGs would have to be injured and with Pop playing 2 SGs at SF I'd say it would probably have to be 4-5 to see Walker start. The injured player is the starting PG. Walker plays SG. So the conclusion is he will be parked on the bench and maybe play 4-6 minutes tonight. I hope that explanation helps you to understand it, because you obviously don't seem to be able to think that far

Dejonte's first game started. Only injured guard was Parker.
Just stop.
