Nice DV

[PhantomDashCam]

Vassell!

[Joseph Kony]

Jesus christ this team cannot rebound for

[Kurgan]

Dumbar and Softridge payed a combined 60 mil to shoot 2-11 and play no defense

[onechance87]

ugly offence

[Joseph Kony]

Patty embarrassing himself trying to shake and bake out there

[poopbox]

LMA can't even get buckets against Houston anymore, a team he has torched his whole career

[NASpurs]

Dribble dribble dribble from Patty. Reminds me of a fat pg we used to have.

[NASpurs]

Demar is going to take it and miss right?

Good, he passed it.

[Mugen]

Damn Devin rushed that one, feet wasn't set.

[poopbox]

The good news is that it almost doesn't matter what we do in free agency aint no way we can sign two worse bigs than LMA and Poeltl

[TheGreatYacht]

I remember getting mocked for years by the PATFO fluffers for suggesting we sign Christian Wood years ago... here's a hilarious throwback of one of the tiest posters hating on Wood and meat riding Jakob Poeltl

No, no, we need Christian Wood.....
/sarcasm

Why the sarcasm? Wood is better than any big on this roster besides Aldridge.

17.5ppg, 7.5rpg, 2spg, 2bpg in only 24 minutes per game. You'd be fluffing RC's balls right about now if we had picked him up.

If you look at the larger sample of ALL of his NBA minutes and games, it's like 4p/2r per game. Nice cherry pick, though. I'm sure some believed it.

If you look at Jakob Poeltl's 3,300+ minutes in 208 games, you'll see he averages 5pts/4reb yet some dumbass thinks he's better than Steven Adams because he's a Spur

I never said he was better than Adams, I said his UPSIDE was higher. I'd expect such nuance to escape you, though. You're pretty much the village idiot...with a megaphone.

Look at Adams' first three years in the league, and get back to us about Poeltl's development curve.

Hint: He's never had the DReb% that Poeltl had this year (20.0) or the TotReb% that Poeltl had this year (17.1). He's never broken 16%. You people act like he's Shaq, or David Robinson. He's a lunch pail guy, a banger. There's nothing about his game that Poeltl can't match, given the minutes.

Per36, career:

Adams: 13p/9.9r
Jakob: 12.2p/10.2r

[Robz4000]

embarrassing things from this team across the board

[onechance87]

loving vassell defence and energy

[NASpurs]

That's probably it for Lonnie for tonight?

Wood alongside this young core would be so perfect.

Wood was my top target last free agency. Lol @ that guy saying Poeltl has upside 5 years in the league and has only gotten worse

[Degoat]

I hate to say this because we need the spacing but Aldridge needs to play his game and quit forcing threes it ain’t working

[timvp]

Vassell with those Bonner-esque plus/minus goods, tbh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Wood alongside this young core would be so perfect.

Imagine our roster if advanced stat virgins didn't run the team fml...

[mystargtr34]

When Derrick comes back he can slot in in the Manu 6th man role until he becomes reliable enough health wise to start. A second unit of Patty, Derrick, Vassell, Rudy, Jakob is pretty good. Maybe Derricks playmaking can get Portal going a bit.

[8sy21vd]

Aldridge/Poetl/Gay...damn that is an ugly looking rotation. Can't think of a worse front court

[mystargtr34]

And Derrick and Vassell would just suffocate the opposing bench with their D

[Capt Bringdown]

Murray's not a floor general.
Spurs need White's leadership.

[SpurPadre]

To put this into perspective, this isn't a trap game. This is our team and we take any victories any way we can but we have to expect quite a few struggles along the way just like we saw in the first half even against a team that's tanking. Good to see Devin getting some run at least.
