[Fireball]

are the Spurs bad or what? 3rd game in four nights comes into play but these ty first halves are annoying as

[ducks]

Leonard bricks

[RD2191]

signing Gasol instead of a desperately needed penetrator/playmaker. PATFO has really fallen off a cliff since 2011.

Said it since day 1.

[weeks]

A 32 point half.
jesus christ.

[Spurs_619]

butler is actually trash 0 point

[ceperez]

How many games do we have to see Manu shoot less that 15%????

[DPG21920]

The effort is there, but just everyone is sucking on offense. Even when the offense is generating good looks guys ice cold. Sucks.

[apalisoc_9]

Hard to see them coming back..bit who knows. Pau Gasol is not good enough offensively to justify him on the floor. Getting cooked by Lopez is bad.

Where is Ryan Anderson again?

[skin27]

9 points in the 2nd against the Bucks, 15 points in the 2nd tonight . Both games we shot 31% or so in the half.

3rd quarter will be ours

everyday is not Christmas bro..

[spursistan]

Offense is even more hideous and basic than last year Seriously are they going to ride it out with this Aldridge? Someone get in his face and tell him to hit the gym..

Pop needs to end this Pau/LMA starting combo right now....

Same here tbh.

As many as it takes for Pop to see that he needs to start rotating younger guys in.
I don't know how many that is.
If Pop doesn't scale Manu back the Spurs will be done in the postseason.
Maybe they are done anyways, but ppl keep giving Manu breaks bc of his hustle plays.
He has been like this and throwing the ball all over plenty of games already.

[MaNu4Tres]

Aldridge can only take advantage if teams go small it seems like. People get excited about his games vs. Warriors and Bucks when they have Draymond Green and Jabari Parker matching up with him at center.

The guy is overrated. Sell high, Spurs --- make him happy.

[spursistan]

signing Gasol instead of a desperately needed penetrator/playmaker. PATFO has really fallen off a cliff since 2011.

[$pursDynasty]

Sometimes the Spurs start so terribly it feels like a pool hustler, or card hustler sand bagging an opponent.

[SAGirl]

so much that was wrong in that half.
I mean they have to be better after getting in the film room...

and might just be declining and unable to cope well with it because of his lazy ass and poor intangibles..they need to shake something up with this team..They are going to get slaughtered with this offense in the playoffs having fallen off on the other end..

[$pursDynasty]

Too much settling for mid court jumpers that aren't falling

[SAGirl]

Lopez/Taj playing like McHale/Parish, GaSoft/Softridge should change their shorts to a skirt.

[TheGreatYacht]

0/9 for $24,000,000

The shooting guards on this team

[Robz4000]

Would be nice if Bertans got some burn in the second half tbh.

Ship his ass to Boston & somehow free John Wall from Washington.
