Spurs really arent that good tbh
Sometimes it really isn't about the talent; it boils down to playing hard and seizing the moment. This team is the an hesis of that.
Simply can't root anymore for this bunch of losers. They deserve to be clowned and humiliated by the Warriors for a third straight year. They begged for it.

But somehow this team was gonna upset Denver without HCA, okay..
I never expected them to be anything but first round fodder if we did make the playoffs. We have a poorly constructed roster, and a bunch of guys who are not extremely skilled, but I expected the team to play with energy and enthusiasm down the stretch with seeding on the line. It isn't the lack of skill that disappoints me, it is the "lack of respect for the game."But somehow this team was gonna upset Denver without HCA, okay..
Spurs are mediocre, and yes, they don't make up for it by playing hard, hustling, playing defense.
7 games left, probably go 3 - 4 or 2 - 5
Dirk will finish his career in SA
Exactly why I hate this year's team regardless of what Nephew did to them. There's just no heart or hunger that's been lacking especially since Manu and previously Tim retired. It says a lot when the so-called heart of this team is an overpaid backup PG who hasn't shown any improvements to his game or diet in the last few years.
This team outside of Derrick White doesn't have any good perimeter defenders. It's why a scrub like Bacon can go off.
Simply put, this team has no dogs, no leaders..
If your stars are cold and timid you need a Patrick Beverly-type of role players around them..
Lma and defrozen are not alphas
Yep Beverly at least has some value on the court. Yet we're relying on 50 Mills to pick up teammates from the floor and pat their backs while he's sometimes the sole reason the team is in a funk in the first place.
Aldridge-Ball issues are manageable, but adding Derozan to this roster was an overkill..
And if Pop wasn't going to coach this guy hard, then you are asking for trouble. How many games has Derozan choked or near did so by playing hero/dumball in the last few minutes?
But Pop is going to magically make Derozan a better player next year because durr durr Year 2 effect.
you call Derrick white a good defender when James harden and now Kemba skill ed him?
im doubting his defense now.tbh
He can only do so much tbh. Says alot when the second best perimeter defender is Derozan.
I don't know what game you guys watched -
I saw a good effort and some great performances - overshadowed by a great player (Kemba Walker)
who willed his team to a victory.
Disappointed , sure - but I thought the Spurs played hard.
When you compare him to the likes of Bryn Forbes and Paddy Mills, he's basically Gary Payton.
Doesn't bode well then against teams who actually are playoff contenders and can have a gameplan. IMO, Borrego just gameplanned well against Pop this year which is why we couldn't beat Charlotte. It's why I laugh at any of the Spurs can win without HCA arguments.
Interesting chain of events there
I wonder where that chip went that this team supposedly had on their shoulders this year
I didn't watch the Hornets game but there was a stretch in the game where Kemba shot 5-17. I need to know how many of those points didn't Kemba get off against Mills vs White. Also getting skull ed by Harden doesn't mean anything. Great players are going to go off at times even against great defenders. Kobe had several games where he dropped 40 plus on Bruce Bowen but that didn't make Bowen a terrible defender. I remember a few years ago when Kyrie Irving lit up Green,Kawhi for 55 points.
Like I said before the big problem on this team is outside of White there is no other good perimeter defenders. Evident by how a scrub like Bacon went off tonight. If Bacon is held to his normal 5 points instead of getting 24 then the Spurs win the game comfortably despite Kemba going off. Spurs in the past always had the luxury of at least having 2 good perimeter defenders in their SL. In the past they had Elie/Elliot followed by Manu/Bowen and then Green/Kawhi. This current team only has White and nobody else that can help out on the perimeter which gives opposing teams the leeway to go off easily on mismatches.
We just got season-swept by this ty Charlotte team in a critical playoffs seeding race.
This Hornets team came to your building and beat you handily early in the year; any other pre-2018 Spurs would have dropped the hammer on them. This iteration has no backbone-- something about its mental makeup that adds up to the other inadequacies..
Not to mention, even a lock down defender is gonna let guys by him from time to time. At that point, it’s up to the help defense to pick them up. Didn’t do a lot of that against Harden or Walker. Also, Forbes guarded Walker most of his 4th quarter bombing. Then in overtime, the lack of defense is on everyone, including DWhite. I don’t think our guys really wanted it in OT. I think they were ready to be done at the end of regulation and overtime was a chore more than an opportunity to snatch up a game our guys didn’t deserve in the first place.
This team is just not as talented as other iterations. I have just come to accept it. This team is just very flawed the way its constructed hence why it's very inconsistent.
That explains it. A player like Kemba just needs to get a good rhythm and then when he finds it it becomes almost impossible to put out the fire.
