A lot of games
So many games that would make a difference between the 8 seed and home court advantage
Too many games to blame it on trial and error
We've tried that,it's wrong,like,move away from that damn it,what more do you want to see?
I cannot believe Pop gave AGAIN the ball to DDR for the last possession.
Hard to blame the other players if they slept in the OT and basically didn't give a . I wouldn't either.
How many games were lost this season for this same reason? Repeating the same mistake over and over is the definition of madness.

While I agree I wouldn't underestimate Pop's decision to put Forbes on Kemba in crunch time possession after possession, and only with 1 minute to go he subbed in White. I was so mad watching DeChoker on offense and Forbes on defense again and again.
Pop thinks DeRozan is Kawhi. 4 down iso plays with no ball screen worked with Kawhi but they damn sure won't work with DeRozan
Great stuff!
Now,can we take the ball away from him in the clutch when the game is on the line?
so this loss is on Derozan who scored 30 pts on 12/24 shooting............OK
Whole team chokes - at least 5 bad losses this year due to gagging
I’ve watched Kawhi a lot this season and his end of game shooting isn’t much better this year.
No, he scored 0/1000 in clutch time
But you know that the spurs have a lot of other problems before blaming derozan.
Exactly.
The Spurs have a lot other problems,with a badly constructed roster and visible holes in their defense and game plan.
Which means every W-especially a W on the road-is valuable.
Which means,when you are in the game for 46 mins and you can snatch that W,why on earth would you give the ball to a player that systematically fails in the last 2 mins of a close game?
You try to deal with your problems as a team,not create new issues along the way.
Wait what?? I've watched him too... Dude has been very clutch this year? Same as DDR?? LMFAO!
Wasn't White 0/10, why can't he have back to back good games?
Most clutch this season

After the raptors loss . There were a couple of articles from their side saying we seen this Demar before , glad he on the other side.
Didnt think much of it then. Now, I see why the raptors were willing to take a rental on nephew.
Unless coach makes an adjustment, get used to it.
Eh this has become a stupid fan narrative. He’s hit big shots in the last 5 minutes of games. Sure he’s turned it over and made bad plays. That happens, especially for a team with a bunch of new players. Jordan missed more last second shots than he made. Manu, a statistically proven clutch player, once missed a wide open game tying three off the side of the backboard. He missed a free throw in game 6 in 2014. Every time he misses a shot he’s not clutch. But Harden gets blocked by a 40 year old Manu in a playoff game and he’s clutch.
I think Pop is afraid he'll lose DDR if he doesn't force feed him the ball, to keep his confidence up.
DeWhiny , again.
Nah... DDR has been statistically proven to be a playoff choker... There was a stat that came out after last year that he has the biggest drop off in terms of production in the past several years from regular season to playoffs
He hit big shots when? never in the last 2 minutes.
Today he had a good game, so in a vacuum I can understand giving him the ball for the last shot. Only, the histoy already proved he would have choked it. Which he did. But most of all is the way he choked: he took long shot with the defender in his face, and jumped BACK for christ sake..Try at least to get a ing call if you can't shoot a decent shot. The guy is a total loser.
My problem with Demar in last shot scenarios is 1) he takes lazy, difficult shots usually iso dribble followed by step back 20+ ft jump shot. 2) tunnel vision - it seems like he doesn't even look for his teammates in these situations, even if he's been having success creating for others all game.
It just drives me nuts that most the time he is unwilling to drive to the basket or at least get to that 12-16 ft area where he converts a higher percentage of shots
He’s missed a lot of last second shots. Last minute and last shot are two different things.
Oh, and he’s not coming back, I didn’t say he and DDR are the same, and finally, I wish you’d join a Raptors forum already. Why do you even claim to be a Spurs fan anymore?
he made some of them at the beginning of the season, i agree with you when you said he needs to be unselfish some time and making good decisions but yesterday that was not bad.
For the history of loser, i'm not agree but he is not a franchise player, i think that's different .
