I don't think you know what competent posting is tbh.
Dude, I honestly do not think you know what "competent" coaching is.

I only had the chance to watch a few minutes of the game and thank goodness , but watching that DDR stunt on the ejection is unacceptable. That's not Spurs culture and actually anywhere. What a joke cry baby.
Meltdown passed for me for the most part, I am ok losing a game, I just hate the idea of giving a game away. I admit I could see the Spurs in the WCF but this was a damaging loss. Still don't get no LMA in the 4th. He ever do that with Tim, Tony, Manu, or the Admiral? With bench players is one thing but is this Pop trying to use LMA in the Timmay role? If he can treat the best player like that, then the rest of the team have to accept it? I just don't know if that mindset can work on the modern player. Tim, Tony and Manu were the last of a dying breed.
It is hard to imagine that Pop, in the twilight of his career, is willing to sacrifice the Spurs culture he cultivated on the altar of Dumbmar, all the while, retaining 50 Mills to no apparent effect on- or off-court.
Patty isn't cultural he is an albatross around this team's neck, if we can see he sucks how much more can his teammates. I pray we can find a sucker to unload him to, as aoon as possible
I don’t want to overreact to much, nuggets we’re the 2nd seed for a reason.. with that being said, we desperately need a reliable big wing. Gay, belly, and Davis in my opinion are the sole reasons this hasn’t been a sweep. They’ve been awful
Why did pop do that to LaMarcus
This team is , so thank god this will probably end in 2 games. I just want to see changes in the off-season. They can stay the same and once again battle for the 8th seed, but who the wants that.
I doubt Pop ever changes his ways but he needs to learn to play the young guys during the regular season so they can contribute some in the playoffs (Walker especially, even Metu)
Well those Thunder teams beat the Spurs too.
I expect the rest of the series to be the same. Go around Jokic's moving screens to make uncontested jumpers and floaters, and hit all sorts of 3pt shots.
Once the Spurs are eliminated, get buried in the next round by whatever team makes it.
I'm also talking about game 5. It's also resting in game 4, but up 3-0 instead of being 2-2 heading to Denver.
You can shorten your rotations all you want but at some point you're going to have to play Gay, Mills, Bertans and Bellineli....your "Big 3" (DD, DW and LMA) are playing 30+/game....this game was lost when the bench got in...if the bench guys don't figure it out and play better the Spurs don't have a chance even if you play the starters 40 per
They need to stop playing Belli with Mills. Go with the draft pick.
Beasley and Morris kills them. It breaks the momentum.
After that stunt Saturday, DeMaer DeRozan, is gone after Denver moves on to the second round. This team really sucks for talent and players with heart. Pop is past his prime and he needs to come to grips with that. This team needs to get athletic in a bad way. We need to get players who are willing to leave everything on the floor and not be afraid to go body to body defensively. I realize you can't trade a whole team but, I'd say everyone is expendable except Derrick White, Dejounte Murray, Lonnie Walker IV and maybe Bryn Forbes and Davis Bertans (as bench player/6th man types). If you don't have an athletic legit 6'7"+ defensive minded Small Forward who can make 3's and slash to the basket you are not going to be that compe ive in today's NBA. If things don't change this off-season the Spurs are going to wallow around in mediocrity for quite some time. Start waking the up PATFO.![]()
Dumb. Derozan is the best player on the spurs. Im not a big fan of his game because he has no feel, and passes when he should shoot, and shoots when he should pass, and he leaves his feet to do either on every play. The problem this series is marco and even more Gay. Put either one on the bench for danatas and the spurs win the next 2.
You are absolutely damn right. Even if you are a cow molester.
The DDR Show needs to be canceled. He's no longer entertaining, he's just tedious. He should be shopped elsewhere, even at a financial loss. He does not belong here.
Ah, Pop. The time has come for the Spurs to move on. The new ownership should put out a request for resumes this summer. I don't suppose they will.
Athletic, you say. Yes, please. Tall is good, too.
I agree about keeping White, of course. Also Murray. Lonnie. Forbes, if he'll be what he should be, a shooter playing occasionally.
Mills needs to go. Beli needs to go. Sigh.
Keep Bertans, no. He is too spindly. He cannot defend his position at the NBA level for the simple reason he does not have the muscle mass. Bertans needs to be traded, released, or whatever.
Letting LMA go would be foolish without a 95% confidence level that we can replace him. I don't know of any prospective replacement, at this time.
The Spurs do need an actual backup for LMA. That would be a player with height, and muscle mass, and some reasonable degree of NBA skill.
Rudy Gay has bad feet. Let him go.
The Spurs still need the same thing they've needed for years. Small forward. They need two now, a starter and a backup. No need for them to be all-stars, just tall enough, and strong enough, to play the position, and with a reasonable level of NBA skill. Especially for backup sf, the standard is not too high. "Better than Cunningham."
The team needs to dump some rubbish, and get three forwards, which are a pf and two sfs. I refuse to believe it's impossible.
When you're right you're right.... If things don't change this off-season the Spurs are going to wallow around in mediocrity for quite some time. Start waking the up PATFO.![]()
Got to the game as the 4th was starting. Can someone fill me in on why LA was on the bench for the 4th?
Dumb???? Well coming from one who is dumb, dumber and one of the dumbest poster's on Spurs Talk, I guess I'll take that as a compliment. Next time you post to me make sure you have completed at least the first grade because it is obvious you can't read 'OR' write worth a damn. Where in my post did I say DeRozan was not the best player on the Spurs or the worst for that matter. I have been a supporter of DeMar and have stated so in several posts this season. What I said was " After that stunt Saturday, DeMar DeRozan, is gone after Denver moves on to the second round." Meaning after he threw the basketball at the ref he immediately entered into Pop's famous Hall of Shame Dog House. I will ignore the rest of your stupidly ignorant post and leave it at that other than to say we don't have much to trade with. Portland will probably be willing to take LMA back but, who do we get in return? One of the LA teams will take DeRozan, but again who will we get in return. We don't have much tradeable material after those two. Rudy Gay is probably finished. Patty and Marco might bring some interest but, we'll only get scrubs for them. Anyway, dumb-ass, have a great day.
Damn it, Jeff, if I catch you in the pens trying to have sex with one of our bull's, 'AGAIN' I'm not going to warn you. Next time I'll fill your ass with 00 Buckshot. And if you call me a cow molester again I'll take your ass out in the brush and tie you up and cover your manhood with a 50 lb. sack of corn mixed with molasses and let about 30 feral hogs and a couple of 500 lb. wild boar's with 6" tusks enjoy a midnight snack. Ouch!!! Otherwise pretty much everything else you said goes along with what I said. Just remember to stay away from our bulls because if they don't get you, I will. You get them bulls mad at night and they'll stomp your ass into the ground. They don't like losing any beauty sleep.
BTW: Could you shorten your posts in the future? I'm a very busy guy. TIA
Weird. It feels like we lost the series last game. Can’t believe we get two more games..hoping the push to seven. NBA should have at least one in the first round.
NBATV...the playoffs should be accessible to everyone.
