Even worse than I could've ever imagined.
Wombat played the last 16 minutes of the game. White on the bench.
what player was he referring to?
small fat australian creature
Even worse than I could've ever imagined.
Wombat played the last 16 minutes of the game. White on the bench.
Great D by Wombat at 88-86 with the chance for the stop and game tying/winning shot.
Also failure to foul when behind 90-86 with 16 seconds left.![]()
Before idiots say "yeah but White was 0-7" wtf did Wombat do offensively those last 16 minutes? Atleast White gives you consistent effort on the defensive end. I mean at the very least do the obvious offense/defense subs utions. 88-86 and you trot Wombat out there?
But no Pop wanted to make it clear how much trust he has in his pet wombat!
Did Mills even hit a 3 pointer during that 16 minutes stretch? Only reason for him to be over White at that point.
Well, so much for that huh? Not in my wildest dreams could I have imagined what Pop did today.
Warned you all about the Microwave. Many didnt listen.
Patty was terrible all series long and DWhite was bad the first 3 quarters....so of course Pop closed the last 16 minutes with fatty.
timvp i see you lurking, my guy. Are we going to go with a) Derrick seemed hurt b) Derrick was so bad that Patty was the clear choice with his experience
I mean how dare anybody question a GOAT like Pop....
Just remember.....
The Pop Suckers scoffed at this thread citing that Pop had closed with DWhite over Patty time and time again....
But in the end, when it mattered most, Pop went to that fat to close a game 7 and the Pop suckers are gonna say he had no choice since Derrick was terrible, while conveniently ignoring how absolute Patty was for the entire series.....
I just pray that they play the Patty is hurt card, please.....
It's funny that Game 6 when he closed with Wombat despite him being 0-8 from three, their argument was "they were trying to get Patty out of his funk".
Game 7, White is struggling and doesn't see the floor the last quarter and a half, not even for defensive purposes and they can't stop going on about how it was the right call. Or the "lesser of two evils".
Why does the scrub still get minutes when he's struggling and the guy who was the 3rd best player on the team all year not? Where is the ing consistency by Pop?
Correction: Just went back and checked. Wombat checked in at the 8:45 mark of the 3rd Qtr. He played the last 20:45 of the game.

Did he even make a shot during that span? I'm sure he must have, but I'm wondering how many, tbh.![]()
I guess twice in 61 games.
Good call, tbh![]()
lol so true
Possibly the longest stretch of PT given to any player this series?
Pop is not consistent. But it's only really a problem when it costs them games and series.
Nope.
But he looked like he was playing with more confidence than White though!

Shaking my damn head.
Pop threw the game away.
/end of
Patty finished the series with an anemic 3PT% of 13.6%.
In 7 games, he connected on only 3 shots from downtown.
I know he was playing with a bad thumb, but that is still absolutely dreadful and definitely played a factor in the Spurs demise.
White shrank in the moment. Not surprised
There was a camera shot of White near the end of the game. He looked like he was kind of sad and confused.
Wtf did Mills do? I think Mills is so high energy that it confuses Pop. He sees the energy but not the awful defense and missed shots.
Yes, so did Aldridge and DeRozan in the first two quarters.
Why doesn't White get a chance to redeem himself.
Patty never showed he was effective this entire series yet he plays to close out the last 20 minutes?
