Playing Forbes 22 minutes isn’t a mistake?

Murray, Walker and Gay were all worse than Forbes tonight.

[ZeusWillJudge]

I'm about sick of watching Pop slurp on the other team's players and looking so happy after every loss. Unless this is his farewell tour, him.

[MultiTroll]

Any chance of legit tanking at this point?

Just keep CIA Pop has HC and it's a lock.

I know what you mean tho. Like could they lose even more games if they purposely tried. I guess.

[sasaint]

I don't dislike the person. He's been one of those big guys who's pretty worthless outside about 4-5 feet. He's doing better from the line, but last year he shot under 50% I think. I think he gets by with more contact than he's en led to, and he gets to live in the paint, just because that's what he's known for. I'm sure I'd be all for it if he got that kind of respect from the zebras playing for the Spurs.

Seems like he hits from the FT line. At least he doesn't take 18-foot turnaround fadeaways.

We’re still in the Lottery!

It's gotta be then right. He's done it after every single loss

[slick'81]

Bring on the kings

[sasaint]

spurs already are

I swear that's what I think much of the time. Then I remember some wins over top teams and I begin to doubt...

[HarlemHeat37]

This franchise will improve the moment Aldridge and Gay are gone. You won't find 2 bigger career losers in basketball, everything about them is losing basketball. Especially Aldridge, his body language, shot selection and at ude.

DeRozan plays losing basketball, as well, but it's a stylistic thing with him, not at ude. He actually plays hard every game, his style just isn't suited for today's game.

"Thanks, Dame, for not lighting us up for 50 tonight."

[cd021]

You guys are still looking at it wrong. They'll be 2.5 games behind Sacramento for 13th.

I meant that they'll be getting to the point where there is virtually no chance of making the playoffs. At this point, i'm team tank.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Murray, Walker and Gay were all worse than Forbes tonight.

How was walker worse? He is literally told to stand in the corner and do nothing on offense, yet he’s one of the few that can actually break a defense down. And Forbes was an embarrassment on D, 1 dribble was beating the guy. So no Forbes was in no way better

[Boomersgold]

Murray, Walker and Gay were all worse than Forbes tonight.

Man, Murray needs to develop a damn shot. 2 wide open threes in the 4th and clank, bricks them. Can't be a starting point guard with subpar handles, passing and scoring. Defense only takes you so far.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Murray, Walker and Gay were all worse than Forbes tonight.

So playing Murray 25 minutes wasn’t a mistake?

[NameLess Scrub]

I don't understand this team's defense.

Look, Trent Jr is hot from 3, let's leave him incredibly wide open with under 5 mins left in the game.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Walker is neutered beyond belief. It’s ing sad tbh.

[Roscoe P. Coltrane]

love that stat stuffing move by Derrick "no lift" White at the end. We see all his "tools".

The slow choppy drive to the rim

his "is it a floater" Floater

The miss

the no lift leap for the rebound and put back

Oh yeah, NOBODY was in his way

TRASH ASS no star recruit this team DRAFTED in the First round, lets be honest NOBODY was gonna draft this stuttering prick... you could have gotten him as undrafted signee

People on this board stand for this piss of turds

He's still better than Lonnie "no brains" Walker

[sasaint]

I meant that they'll be getting to the point where there is virtually no chance of making the playoffs. At this point, i'm team tank.

I cannot bring myself to root against the Spurs in individual games. But in the natural order, I expect the team to lose about 20-25 more games and easily make the lottery. Consistent with our recent karma, however, it is a weak draft.

[HarlemHeat37]

How was walker worse? He is literally told to stand in the corner and do nothing on offense, yet he’s one of the few that can actually break a defense down. And Forbes was an embarrassment on D, 1 dribble was beating the guy. So no Forbes was in no way better

The team was only outscored by 1 when Forbes was on the floor tonight.

I'm not saying Forbes earned 22 minutes or that he should ever start, he obviouly shouldn't, but he wasn't as bad as usual tonight. The team was significantly worse when his replacements were on the floor.

Walker did absolutely nothing in this game.

[HarlemHeat37]

So playing Murray 25 minutes wasn’t a mistake?

You have to live with Murray, the franchise has invested in his development.

[HarlemHeat37]

Man, Murray needs to develop a damn shot. 2 wide open threes in the 4th and clank, bricks them. Can't be a starting point guard with subpar handles, passing and scoring. Defense only takes you so far.

I've never been a Murray fan and I don't have much hope for him, but I'll give him 1 more season since he's coming off a major injury that requires time to recover.

[ZeusWillJudge]

Lonnie was just bad tonight. I can't say that I totally blame him, but he's gone backwards.

[BlackAndWhite]

Can you imagine, our team won 48 games last season

[GAustex]

When it mattered their stars influenced the game and their team prevailed. The Spurs “stars” spit the bit and the team folded.
It was there for the taking.
The team assembled by poop just is not that good.

[ZeusWillJudge]

I meant that they'll be getting to the point where there is virtually no chance of making the playoffs. At this point, i'm team tank.

I knew what you meant. I'm just in smartass mode tonight. Not only they didn't make a move before the deadline, they didn't even have the decency to do anything with Carroll.
