Or it might be something simple like lack of talent.

this is clear to anyone, but unfounded theories are more interesting

[Chinook]

When did Lee say that?

It was in an article during the season last year. Lee pretty much said that unlike the Warriors, the Spurs didn't really do things together or talk to each other outside of games. He didn't frame it as a bad thing, more like a "It's different, but it's cool." But for a team that used to have the UN, it was alarming.

And bad coaching

Lack of talent doesn't translate into lack of chemistry.

There might be something too that. It seems like only a handful of guys (Green, Anderson, Ginobili, Mills) on this team are close

Oh.. yea I don't think that's a big deal. The team did some stuff but I mean we know the Warriors are media attention s and what not.

I remember reading Lee actually being happy the Spurs locker room was mature and focused on basketball and didn't have drama that other locker rooms have

[SAGirl]

I don't know. Just feels like a dark cloud is hanging over the team, 2014-style. Could be Kawhi's frustration, could be the lack of Duncan, could be that even more players are sick of Pop's than we originally thought. If something does blow up, we've had warnings. Dedmon and Simmons both wanted to leave. LMA wanted to be traded. Lee preferred retirement (and said the team didn't show much camaraderie last season).

That's true.

DAvid West the season prior left the floor of game 6 visibly upset and called his agent to tell him he wanted out too.

This group has shown a lot of chemistry at times but they can be getting worn down. Every game is a real drag most of the time and the amount of injuries and lineup changes wears out the few who have played a lot. I thought in the recent losses Aldridge looked tired.

[spurs10]

Spurs trying to make sure they never have to wear those #&*&ing uniforms again.

[LittleCriminal]

lol Anderson getting denied lol

[weeks]

patty looks so fat

[bklynspursfan]

0-12 from 3... Crazy smh

People think GS and Cleveland are the only teams set to wear down. Is it not possible that this team of old men and holdovers from as far back as 2010 are getting burned out too?

Just another reason why I believe this team needs to make a trade and inject some life into the lineup.

[ismael-robert]

Yea they look tired of Pop resting basically healthy players. Manu should be playing at the least.

[ECOV]

lol Anderson getting denied lol

Yup that's apart of basketball

[bklynspursfan]

Except he hasnt doing that much this year....

[TimDunkem]

Sixers are tearing us apart.

[bklynspursfan]

Embiid swishes a 3. of course

[NASpurs]

When their center shooting 3s >> your 3 point "specialists"

[Darius Bieber]

God, Houston is gonna win by like 60+ against this trash team.

No chemistry will make Forbes and Mills taller, Kyle and Pau faster, Gay and Kawhi healthy, Ginobili and Parker younger, etc.
errors in roster building are serious and when people start talking about chemistry it gets clearer

[boutons_deux]

Great start to homestand

gameover, in 3rd

[Leetonidas]

This team is complete ing garbage. What a pathetic showing man. Its one thing when i watch it on tv but to pay and waste my time coming down here to see this pathetic display up close really chaps my ass. Gutless worms tbh

Yeah but... they were up on the Warriors for a half in the playoffs last year.

[palangi]

We have a lineup with Parker, mills, and Forbes.... you got to be ting me... that's a hole lineup pop! And you're a hole coach
