Hard for me to keep the game on. When someone asked about the next 4 games starting with Memphis 3-1 seemed like a good call.

I truly think our young guys really aren’t that good. I see a lot of blame on pop but nobody in the history of the league could do anything with this roster

LOL Pop is coaching the flawed roster that he built. That’s the problem.

[sasaint]

i don't think pop can afford to make him earn it now. we are looking like a lottery team right now. How much losing before the fire sale and developing the youth. I'm not rooting for us to lose but let's put it this way every game is a win win for me. We lose than changes must be made. We win than that's good.

That’s exactly how I feel. Surely somebody in ownership sees that Pop has to go.

may each of you be absolved of the hope that you never should've had in the first place.

[TheGreatYacht]

But none of these spineless s will ask him postgame

Have drafted late and perhaps there’s not a future star in the bunch. Difficult to know when they don’t play through mistakes and develop, and if there isn’t star, have to go fishing in the draft old school style. Lotto pick would help.

[sasaint]

Our starting five consists of:
1) still young PG coming off major leg injury
2) a minimum salary undrafted/undersized SG
3) the only swingman in all of creation that won't shoot a 3pt
4) A still pretty good NBA player whose motivation doesn't match his talent
5) A young cast off and minimum salary player

Face it most of the issues here is talent. I think we're just not very good.

The beginning of the end was signing LMA. Then there was Fitty Mills and Pau. Then the Dumbmar acquisition was pretty much the nail in the coffin. When you tie up big money in the likes of those guys, you are pretty much sunk.

Nice turn of phrase.

[SpurPadre]

I've been trying to be positive with the fact that it's still too early to call it a season but this recent play is troubling and it's apparent we need to make some serious changes. Unfortunately, that's just not how PATFO operate but hopefully something can be worked out.

[GAustex]

The young guards need to play better including Walker or Spurs have no chance no matter what

[gambit1990]

any postgame comments by pop? i checked real quick but didn't come across anything.

[FkLA]

There's no way a simple rotation adjustment can fix this abomination.

Depends on what you mean by fix.

Let's not forget last year's team also started off looking like absolute , including back to back 30 point losses (one of them being to Minny IIRC). Derrick White's emergence alone was able to help the team become respectable. There's no reason why more White, Murray, Lonnie, Carroll and less pets wouldn't have an even bigger impact.

congratulations to Minnessota they played great and were aggressive. Our defense was bad. I'm out

is basically what he said

[Down Under]

Trey Lyles has been the biggest bright spot of the season. Seriously.

i believe he said we were defensively challenged

raybs, my guy. Props to being one of the few sniffers left during our Edgelord Game Threads tbh

[DJR210]

I just saw there was almost a Gay KATfight

[Mugen]

Highlight of the night was Bill Land going crazy over that "Gay Stuff" after Rudy had a dunk tbh

U can't be serious... That dude is ass... He doesn't move the needle one way or the other... U can literally replace him with anyone

Disagree the begining of the end was when Kawhi left. LA and kawhie in the wcf were balling as well as dominant before the zazza effect . That season we had 60 plus wins with second best record. Memories damn

[ragas]

Seems like everyone has a white scrub that can hoop. We have an autistic Shawn Bradley and Stallone that never got a gym membership

But somehow Poeltl has the best netrating of all Spurs scrubs. So the black scrubs suck even more?

[ragas]

So when will Pop decide to change line ups? I bet his first move is to start Poeltl and have Forbes out there as the only 3-point shooter

Spurs shot 3/17 from 3. You think teams are afraid of the Spurs 3-point-shooters *rofl*

I’m really trying to sniff on but it’s getting harder and harder. I read reddit posts to keep me strong.

He's been dominant on the glass, has decent vision & good enough defense to be a rotation player. He hasn't shown that in either of his previous stops.
