memphis has three more wins than the spurs. they both have four games remaining.
idk what effect the new seeding rules may have.
Also that last year's Derrick White still exists.

I’m one of lonnies biggest fans but keldon has overwhelmingly played better
Was obvious the moment it happened. Didn't understand the fake optimism crowd spin job on that one.
Our position wohld have largely been the same regardless of 10, 9, or 8.
We need more modern SF/PFs. We have the SG/SF talent.
Again these last 2 games are really showing where we could use Lyles, More balanced SL and bench rotation.
Dejounte, White, DeRozan, Lyles, Poeltl
Patty (Quinn), Keldon, Walker, Gay, Eubanks
We have been forced to double too much against 76ers and Nuggets.
Agreed tbh. Lonnie has been severely neutered, any fire/passion that he had has been replaced by looking over his shoulder because he knows that one mistake and he's going to the bench.
I don't think he's mentally strong enough to overcome a garbage coach unfortunately.

pop really hasnt done him any favors,tbh
Poodle really has the bed and murray continues to be a ing yoyo
If the Spurs were the 8th seed they would have ended up with the 14th pick. A few slots above 14 can make a difference in who you land.
They'll probably let him walk to keep Derozan/Forbes. The disgusting thing is I could really see Pop advocating for that scenario if he's still around.
no, I just point out what I see, however, Spurs at this point not only lose Aldridge's talent, but they also lose size (Lyles out, Jakob playing as a rookie splitter etc.).
as I see, all of our kids are more prepared to play as guards than as wings, and our lack of size will still be exploited by good teams.
Patty mills wih another meaningless double digit scoring effort
You ain’t never lied.
a few of us last year and the beginning of this season said White was the better PG but some folks shouted us down.
It is going to suck when White (or even Lonnie which I can see them trading) is traded during the off-season or not given a new contract. Yes he is a little older than the young guys be he proved last season he was a player and Pop gave Dejounte the starting job instead of making him earn it.
His entire game sucked today. Ofense and Defense. Spurs made a mistake trying to develop this low iq player into a point guard. Murray's ceiling should always have been as a 3 and D player. And recently, it's looking like his defense isn't even there anymore.
And Poodle is a joke of a player. It's because of guys like him that the cliches about soft Euro bigs exist. He single-handley ruined that run we had in the 3rd. Two years with the Spurs and he looks no different than when he first came here. There's no upside or room for growth here. He's a soft piece of . He'll always be a soft piece of .
I wanted to draft as high as possible anyway.
I'm chill with whatever happens at this point.
How did Derrick do down the stretch?
Not a basketball expert by any means and probably something heard before...The Spurs game plan looks sooo outdated (can it be called a game plan at this stage?). I only watched the second half and that offense looks pedestrian to say the least. No ball movement, no three ball...all Denver had to do was pack the paint and let the Spurs players take cringeworthy turns in driving into the bucket hitting walls, kicking the ball out and pushing the re set button for another drive with with mixed success. On the other side of the court Denver was cruising and scoring at will with a wide offensive repertoire. in addition to the outdated coaching there is a glaring lack of talent in the roster, compensated with the undoubted enthusiasm of the youngsters that appeared a tad confused with the over coaching.
Ewwbanks looks great compared to poodle
But hes only 25
You frankly can't be upset at 2-2. They are in the mix, and without LMA this is probably better than most would have expected at this point.
Kledon and Derrick look great. Lonnie, not so much. Murray has been inconsistent and probably a bit disappointing to be honest.
Aldridge always played well against Denver. His presence was sorely missed.
Yep. People would’ve nailed Aldridge at the stake if he performed like this. It’s disgraceful
It's actually quite amazing how Pop has managed to get a bunch of 20-25 year olds in their athletic prime to play like 15 year veterans on their last legs
It's so frustratingly clear that he has no idea how to coach athleticism at his age. Just swinging it around the perimeter looking for "good to great", so ing depressing.
"Probably disappointing?"
He's been absolutely atrocious outside of 1 good game and that's not even taking into consideration the huge extension he got.
