Game Thread: Spurs vs. T-Wolves — WED. Feb. 3, 2021 — 7:30pm/C

OP said "should be a W"

When I read that a couple of hours ago, I knew this was already over.

[BillMc]

just woke up to see the Spurs world in chaos. It is like 28 Days Later here.

What is the story with this game?

[YoungbuckMurray]

Finally get a stop and.... offensive rebound

[Mugen]

This team has absolutely zero fight and has the look of a squad that has completely quit on their coach

[John B]

How could this same team beating Denver 3 games ago and losing terribly to the worst team so bad? What changed? Derrick? But he’s playing great. They seemed to have lost their hunger.

sadly in the grand scheme of things it is better to lose. Lol

i just want to see the young players play and learn or burn. At least then we will know who is actually a player or not. Hopefully the front office figures out quickly that this team isn’t going anywhere and will trade off the Vets (outside of Patty unless it’s for a 1st round pick because selfishly he a favorite of mine)

But they can't even lose consistently. Another wasted year where they draft late teens.

[tim_duncan_fan]

The obvious (and I mean grade school obvious) is to move Lonnie outside of the starting lineup. But of course that move won't be made until they're probably several games out of the playoffs

We don't want this team making the playoffs anyway. I feel bad about this loss and those to come, but it's the way it has to be.

Time to go

Murray-White-DeMar-Keldon-LMA

Mills-Vassell-Rudy-Jak

9 man rotation. Murray plays really well with that second unit. Lonnie the 10th guy depending on what’s needed.

[NASpurs]

Might be the last game for Lonnie in the starting lineup.

[KaiRMD1]

We need to just forfeit those back to back games against the Warriors

More open 3s for the opposition, confusion defensively on switches/rotations, finally get a stop only to be out hustled for a rebound,
‘Lonnie perhaps being sent to G League

Many thanks bro. Are you serious about Lonnie?

[ace3g]

Spurs about to get this down to 7 then immediately allow a 3...

[Mugen]

Devin being benched the last 2 games when the Spurs are literally the worst defensive team in the league

[Dennis the Menace]

Devin Vasell needs all of Lonnie’s minutes. Prove me wrong

[Mugen]

Might be the last game for Lonnie in the starting lineup.

The old man refused to play Derrick and Dejounte together for like 70 games last year, I wouldn't hold my breath.

This is going to keep happening as long as they insist on sagging 8ft off the man they are guarding to double-team literally every opposing player with the slightest ability to dribble a basketball. Just leaving players open all game and hoping they don't hit open shots or that the guard neglects to pass them the ball is a re ed strategy.

We'll get some wins because sometimes guys miss shots, like Denver did, but we won't beat anyone consistently.

[TDomination]

Interesting how we get back arguably our best player and we look the worse we have looked since Forbes was here.

[Slippy]

No Lamarcus and No Rudy.. spurs still can't get stops.. too many weaklinks on the perimeter too.. Demar cant stick to his man and Patty being too short ultimately hurts the team because they both play heavy mins. On rotations all spurs players have looked lost or a step slow.

[Fusternino]

How is Lyles playing?

[Mugen]

The other underrated evidence of this garbage coach is the complete inability to know how to use a Coach's Challenge. I guess it wouldn't be fair to the spirit of the game

[PhantomDashCam]

Just playing about Lonnie. He’s been bad out there though.

My bad, I was trying to use logic like any normal person. I forget it takes the senile old fart 3/4 of a season to come to his senses.
