We were never tanking and tanking doesn't make sense. I'm cool with a pick around 15-18 should probably be enough to net a nice SF prospect. West is wide open this season. Once you make the playoffs anything is possible
We tanking, or nah

Inserting White in the starting line up with Forbes has us beasting all of a sudden. He covers up a lot of defensive weaknesses that that starters have and ensure that we are't playing from behind early on. Pop can't do it against every team but against most this is a great line up. Also we go as far as Rudy takes us tbh. When he is healthy and moving we are really good this year.
we also lost plenty of games before with that same line up tbh
Not really the same then our PF was Cunningham, now it's Gay. Personally I think it's lot of differences.
I dont think we have lost that many games with this line up tbh. Idk if someone can find the stat but I'm pretty sure we are like 4 and 1
you're right, I just looked that up. Only lost by 40 against the T-Wolves with this line up when it was their first game starting together. I guess that's what we should roll with, makes sense.
Nah.
his chasing his own records man like win/loss all time record
and consecutive playoff appearances...
basically he too doesnt know wtf his doing
He was never purposely tanking
Guy just sucks more than he coaches well nowadays.
Did this dude just say this is a great lineup? Oh how far the mighty have fallen...
Plenty, plenty of talent to draft from pick #15 on.
Draft 2018:
#26: Shamet
# 19: Huerter
Make the playoffs, absolutely: shorter rotation, defense more physical (even this year), thorough game preparation....Except the Warriors, everybody else is beatable.
Tanking is cheat!!
Its not tanking. It's just integrating several new players into the Spur's system. Doesn't happen overnight.
When this team settled on only bringing in Cunningham, Belinelli, and eventually Pondexter we all knew that this was a transition year. I assume that Buford is listening on anyone behind closed doors. The playoffs "might" be reachable, but this team is for sure an easy out in the first round.
Probably a first round exit, but assuming they avoid the 8 seed (and particularly if they’re 7-6-3-2) this team could make the WCF. Extremely small chance (say 3% or less), but the parity makes it possible.
If things break wrong, they could be 12th-14th in the conference. In what other year has the range of outcomes been anywhere from 2 to 14 in the conference?
I just wish they would try to develop all the young guys in a transition year instead of playing over the hill vets
This never was going to be a transaction year. Barring a injury to LA, or DDR, Pop will continue to compete and try and get this current Spur's squad in the playoffs.
I don't hate that they're making guys earn minutes. White and Forbes are starting now, Bertans gets decent minutes in the rotation, Metu and Walker need D-League reps before they're ready to do anything but get eaten alive.
Parker didn't earn his minutes... After a couple games he was thrust into the starting lineup as a rookie... That's the difference with old pop and young pop... Young pop didn't have this silly template of not playing young players until some amount of time passed...
Parker had an aged Daniels, who was basically on one leg, and Porter who was at that time agile as Gasol now. Pop wasn't happy to give him minutes, but had to. Then he was happy, though.
Maybe Pop realized that tanking is now the best option after that Chicago game
the difference is that parker was running by nba players as if they were standing still
add to that the fact that he was finishing at the rim on 7 footers and it was a no brainer
