Does anyone know if Jacob is hurt he has no fire this year
lol raptors fans are upset at Spurs for "misusing" Poodle. As a raptors fan, I will say that I never understood the hype surrounding Poodle. I can't even put my finger on why the raptors fans loved him so much. It's probably the analytics nerds who loved advanced stats.
He was so good last year, it only took Pop a few months to ruin him
I think this was just a matter of matching up with the Lakers.
It's only fitting that a ing poodle would be in the doghouse tbh.
Almost every Big we have had besides David, and Timmy Pop has had problems with. Don’t know why but it takes a whole year before any big can get serious minutes.
Had hopes for Poodle will give him a year but would rather have Nikola who play more with an at ude and plays physical but stay out of foul trouble.
He's a turtle not a poodle ffs.
Manu retiring pretty much killed any chance Jakob was gonna contribute this year tbh. Still early so hopefully he turns it around, I'm sure Pau will start ting the bed after a month or two.
If that was the concern it might have pau who needed to get benched. I didn't watch the game tho, so my comment is just an observation based on Pau's trajectory against the fast teams.
Some people have mentioned he's just not playing well.

How about Pau?
Pop.loves him obviously.
Lets see what happens next few games. Last game was a bad matchup for Poeltl. Spurs needed to be more mobile, long, and smart (no fouling those diving lengthy Lakers forwards in the paint). He's young and still needs time to adjust to the new system.
He's just not that good. Def not good enough for Pop to trust him in a Must Win National TV LeBron game
I'm sure Purrrrrrtl will see regular season minutes eater minutes against the Wiz/Magic/Bucks type teams a la Blair/Bonner role.
DNP - RC got fleeced
The Spanish ostrich has actually been a positive on the court. You'd know this if you weren't butthurt over Fathead walking and actually watched a game this season, Memphis.
DNP- Sucks
Doghouse for sure, hope we will not have to wait a year to see him play...
Spurs need a PnR guard to make the best use of Jakob. They don't, so he's reduced to offensive rebounding garbage scoring. That's not good enough to survive in today's NBA. Hopefully DD can help him.
It's kind of feast or famine around here.
Poertl was praised as a savior, now he's worse than Joffrey Lauvergne.
How about a middle ground (especially for the type of young big that Pop has always been slow in trusting).
I think the hate of Poeltl is becoming a bit too fashionable. I know I've been critical of him since pre-season, but he's done nothing to make him the forum whipping boy. I think he needs to be on the bench in a rim-runner role like Splitter was back in the day. Once White gets back, hopefully he can run with Patty, Davis, Gay and Jakob. I just don't think he's where he needs to be yet mentally. He doesn't know where he fits in the starting unit. He hurts spacing and overall just gets in the way. Once he figures that out, he'll be a positive again. I still don't like him as the main "potential" piece from the Leonard trade. But if the team had signed him to a one-and-one deal with RFA rights this off-season, I wouldn't be upset. I know it could have been worse. It could have been Lauvergne coming back.
Poeltl is a turdle
Poeltl is hoelt
He's trash. A soft euro who can't shoot.
He's playing awful right now. Hopefully he'll get adjusted. Unless your name is Duncan, bigs tend to take a while to acclimate under the 'Spurs Way'.
