Could be worse. Could have a team with 2 former MVPs in LeEspn and Westbrook, and still have a piss poor record.

Good point. At least the Spurs didn’t mortgage their future putting this squad together.

Aside from the dumbass who just logged into his other username, folks seem to have this expectation that losing would look glamorous.

This has actually been one of the most fun losing teams I’ve ever watched. I’m amazed how close they keep most games. I’ve enjoyed this group more than the previous two seasons’ duds.

Another big putting up record numbers against Poeltl

We need to draft as early as possible and no one under 6'7 with long arms unless they are an athletic scorer.

3 games out of playin

Has anybody ever scored a 150 points on pop in our gym?

Second half of the third quarter kill the Spurs, after that it was just swapping baskets

[boutons_deux]

Haven’t watched the 2nd half but this is my problem with Jakob… how the fck are you gonna let KAT drop 60 On you!!!

Jacob is always a step or two late trying to block a layup.

I wonder if he even looks at the ball when he puts his hand up to block, or is putting up his hand just pro forma and hoping

Pretty damn laughable. That team had championship expectations, we didn’t. And they’re barely better than us.

[Darius Bieber]

Man, we should have signed COVID-19 to a ten day contract to guard KAT

If he just put his hands up and hope then he is really lucky as he is fourth in BPG.

That as well.

[itzsoweezee]

What a weird season. Can’t even tank at this point because the Spurs aren’t going to catch the six teams “ahead” of them in the lottery.

[KobesAchilles]

Fixed it for you

We got a chance at Sac

[Dejounte]

Good call.

Landed exactly at 60 too. Haha

Yeah please trade him seriously .

[John B]

es want to tank but about losing. That’s just nagging

[BatManu20]

Idc if a player scores 60 on us every game the rest of the way so long as we lose. Just lose every game tbh. That’s all that matters.

[BatManu20]

We got a chance at Sac

We don’t sadly. We’re going to win Wednesday and we’ll beat blatantly tanking Portland all 3 times we play them.

Poeltl defense was so bad in this game he killed Scott Hall

Yet Poeltl was the only one who played big minutes and was +3 while on the floor. This game is a perfect example of why Keldon should be traded to improve the team. He lead the team in scoring but was -18–worst on the team. JRich scored 2 points and was at 0. I know it’s just one game, but it’s typical of the whole season.

[RC_Drunkford]

That was a good L. Keep the tank rollin

Is it ok to that we lose but seem to still be trying to win? That's my biggest issue. What did Primo get? 10 min?

[Rocalcio]

Looks like KAT is priming up for a 50 piece on us.

A bit more actually...

[John B]

Is it ok to that we lose but seem to still be trying to win? That's my biggest issue. What did Primo get? 10 min?

First, Primo is still wayyy far from a rotational player imo. Pop is tanking, but is putting a compe ive group out there enough to teach. It’s not Rockets’ style of tanking in contrast where players just hurl 3’s. That’s why Primo is not getting a lot of minutes as fans might want. Secondly, Pop is showcasing players like Lonnie or JRich (Primo who will be more likely staying don’t need to). Either showcasing players for their next contract, adding to their value for a possible trade chip, while also auditioning for Spurs’ roster spot next season.

So yeah I still want to see them play compe ive and Lose.
