Will the Spurs do the smart thing and be sellers by the deadline?

Read the original post again. It was discussion based on IF they were out of playoff contention. It's amazing how many people can't read.

I can read just fine. Tbh, I remember this thread, but it was more a response to this particular post a few posts up, on December 2nd.

Do people here still think this pathetic team is playoff bound?

I said this is why you don't overreact in December. I'm reading exactly what you wrote bro.

Not sure if you've noticed, but its an entirely different team than the first 2 months of the season. Different rotations, different players. And with their recent run, Pop is depending less on Patty/Forbes. There's never been a season like this as long as I can remember where the lows are rock bottom and the highs are as high as they are right now. It was very reasonable to be pessimistic experiencing the very bottom in the beginning of the season and after the rodeo road trip.

This team has played very poorly without Derrick White. He's the key.

This season has been wild. And here we are today as the 5th seed, a game behind the 3rd seed and a game away from the 8th seed.

But yes, Forbes is a better player than Patty. And Derrick is also blossoming.

Also, read the first post again, I talked about IF they were out of playoff contention. IF. Comprehension can be a very tough thing to get, I know.

Just take the L. It's ok. We're all wrong at some point. You just make it worse by posting shut like this.

I don’t see why people are giving OP crap for thinking, as bad as the team was playing, that they would miss the playoffs. I think many felt that way and especially after the RRT which was not December. After the RRT and with the schedule coming after (Denver, OKC, MIL, GS, etc) it’s not surprising that many (myself included) thought SA could be done.

Heck, I posted in this thread being optimistic in DEC and I still felt after the RRT that tanking for a lottery pick this year might be the best call.

No doubt. And me personally, I wasn't giving the OP crap. All I said was this is why you don't overreact, especially in December.

Tanking was never something I was for, but I get people have different views on that.

That RRT was brutal. I seriously started wondering if maybe PATFO really had gone in the tank for a draft pick. Losing those last two game, badly, to the Knicks and the Nets was just sort of mind-numbing.

All jokes about Pau aside, I don't think it helped that everyone knew that he wanted to go somewhere else, and was probably going to get bought out if nobody offered a trade. That stretch really highlighted how important Derrick White had become, and how far he had come as a defender and PG. And I'm still kind of amazed at how much DDR's defense has improved. I really hated seeing him and Forbes on the floor together because a team just can't hide two matadors. But he's really stepped up his game.

When the situation changes, you have to change your assessment of things with it.
