And the cherry on top, Hack a Dwert which obviously wasn't working but kept doing it.
Pop's playing with his vagina while McHale plays chess.
Was this the worst rotation during a mid-season game in the Duncan era, tbh?..
Cory Joseph- elite D-league player that shouldn't be anything more than a 12th man
Matt Bonner- no longer a rotation player in the league, doesn't have any mobility remaining
Baynes- Great D-league player that shouldn't be anything more than a 14th/15th player on the roster
Nando De Colo- should not be playing in the NBA
God, that hurt to watch, tbh..

we suck and are old
and pop is not the coach he once was
Pop would agree and prob the reason why he refused to play basketball for the last 4 mins of the 3rd quarter tbh.
Painful and embarrassing doesn't even begin to describe that lineup.
Don't know why Jeffers didn't get some burn. It's not like other guys were tearing it up.
Seriously, can anybody recall a worse rotation?..
Maybe that game against Denver in 2009 or 2010 where Pop benched everybody on National TV and Malik Hairston dominated?..
Probably the worst lineup EVER put out on the court by a Spurs team. And people wonder why this team is struggling right now. ANY team would struggle with that lineup. Go play 2K and try to win with that lineup, now imagine playing that lineup in real life...![]()
It was awful, but we're shorthanded... we're going to have to make do with all those guys until the starters come back.
If only you could increase the game sliders in real life...
It's a strong possibility that the Spurs won't win another game without the Mid-3 and Manu, tbh..
Especially considering Parker is no longer a dominant player, unfortunately..
Ayres, Boner, Nando, Cojo, Jeffers.
Spurs left a lot on the table this off season and it's coming back to bite them. The record is still fine, but with a team this age and with the West wide open, they had the potential to have a very solid off season and secure a reasonable spot for a deep run. They left a lot on the table.
That's really the biggest issue. Injuries happen, they're part of the game. I still gotta give Parker the benefit of the doubt because he's young.
Coasting
But they locked up Tiago and Manu!
They were right to lock them up.
Like I said, at least there are enough ty teams that the Spurs can still get to 50
We will easily get to 50.
Not at 14 and 36
The Spurs roster now is so full of holes: TP, Joseph, Belinelli, Diaw, Duncan; Mills, De Colo, Jeffers, Ayers, Baynes; Bonner. [Out: Manu, Kawhi, Green, Splitter]
1) A trade is a must. The obvious hole at SF right from the start of the season is so huge now. Every Spurs player is either a guard or a PF/C.
2) TP's game is so bad on defense. He is routinely being abused by every PG in the league
3) Even if everyone gets healthy, the Spurs need a trade. The bottom 6 (Bonner, Ayres, De Colo, Joseph, Jeffers, Baynes) are pretty much catastrophic.
Bonner's friendly contract, De Colo are the obvious trade baits. But I think if the Spurs really think they have to get back to the finals, they have to think big.
Spurs must try to push the envelope on the Thaddeus Young/Marvin Williams/Evan Turner possibility.
No trade will matter if TP can't find his rhythm. The Spurs are not going to change the way their play unless it's Lebron coming in. This team needs last season's Tony, on both ends.
It seems like just recently we had the best bench in the NBA. What the happened to that?
I dont' expect TP to play better than he is, currently atleast till late-March, April. Makes no sense for him to dial up effort and intensity at this stage of the season. What the Spurs are clearly lacking is athleticism and by relying on the "Big 3" to do the brunt of the scoring, they are only subjecting them to more and more fatigue. So what seemed a weakness (lack of backup 3) is now such a huge liability. The trade is clearly, for me, an inevitability.
Injuries happened and the bench having to play starters' roles happened. happened.
