I still think we have a decent shot of getting the 9th pick
The team couldn't win games without him though. Honestly, we just have a team full of players not good enough to put any team over the top. All 3rd-4th options at best on a contending team.
I still think we have a decent shot of getting the 9th pick
18 games left.
Winnable games:
4/22 vs Detroit (2nd of b2b at home)
They could finish 1-17 which would be 27-45 final record.
Unfortunately, 45 losses would still be around 9th worst record in the league.
This is beginning to look like a total waste of a season. No playoffs, no development on Vassell/Samanic, and barely a top 10 pick.
Half-agree there. It's not that you can't have glue guys like Patty unless your team is already good/compe ive........ You just have to limit their roles to be just that - glue guy/energy guy/bench scorer. The moment you pull a Pop and start trying to close out every single game with your glue-locker room guy, you'll obviously start seeing predictable losses and all the we've been seeing.
Patty on a 10m per game, strictly shooting guard, non-ballhandling role, wouldn't be too bad, might be a positive even. Now giving him 20+m, relying on him to make volume 3pt shots because the rest of your team can't shoot, and closing out games with both he and the other defensive liability vet in Rudy Gay? Yeah, ain't gonna work...
make the games compe ive, but let DeRozen, Gay, and Mills keep chucking bricks to close out the losses. Get as high of a pick as possible.
And Pop doesn’t make any change or adjustments and I hate to say this but Pop’s head is stuck on Trump’s ass.
Yeah, they gave that game away to the Wizards.
Lol the "Duncan wouldn't have won without Pop" narrative by dumbass casual fans. No need to look further than Pop's coaching the last few years to see how stupid that statement is.
Tank is alive and well!
Tim and Manu were the brain of this team and they didn’t beat themselves.
Good loss
Keep it up
Need the best pick we can get
And heart...
Not trading Kawhi for young players and draft picks was the single thing our front office did that sat us on this treadmill path...
Had we done that we would be year 3 into a team with at least one top 5 pick to try and build around... and most likely two after earning one ourselves from being so bad.
Just beyond idiotic and this lone mistake makes me wonder if Pop and our front office were every really that smart to start with...
If I had to pick easiest team to manage I would pick, team with 3 HOF and all you have to do is build around the fringes of your core, which is all the spurs front office did for nearly two decades...
But as soon as this front office didn't have 3 all time greats to build around they got really bad really fast...
After Derozan leaves we would have traded Kawhi for Poeltl and Keldon...
Presti got way more for PG and Westbrook...two guys who are significantly worse basketball players than Kawhi...
Just an all time woat level front office move in the history of the nba...
Why? So he can rot on the bench or go to Austin? No draft pick wants to come to SA anymore. Vassell, Luka, and Tre are all warming the bench while Haliburton is getting rookie of the month awards.
Yep. The Brady / Belichick question has been answered- it was Brady. The Pop / Duncan question has been answered, too. It was Duncan.
Well there is no adjustment to make. He is determined to play veteran players over everything else and all of our veterans have fatal flaws that teams easily exploit which is why this team can't consistently win. The adjustment would be to give Patty and Rudy short hooks for when they play like trash, which is more often than not, but we both know Pop would rather loose with Rudy and Patty than win with Devin and Luka, so that's not happening.
Any person with more than 2 brain cells knows it was Duncan + Robinson + Avery + Elliott and then Ginobili + Parker + Duncan that carried Poop’s ass.
Well hope this is a good learning year for Pop he needs to ing take some good notes I know he can't coach us to Win but God Dammit Old Man get us a top 5 pick next year for Christ Sake!!!!!!
#1 Draft Pick 2022 San Antonio Spurs select Chet Holmgren 7.0 = Poku 2.0.....
We went from Tim, Manu or kawhi to Rudy ing Gay. Man!! What the happened to the spurs front office?
Now we all know who really ran the show. Coach Bud left, Udoka left, Messina left, Sean Marks left, Chad Forcier left, Brett Brown... and everything went downhill.
is really bad when the Dieng signing is the best move the Spurs made in the last few years.
That was Dieng’s biggest mistake of his life and he’s not even playing
What's up with Pop's hair? It's rather sexy (no ).
Is pop giving Derozan all these closing moments hoping he re signs? Why else would he continue to draw up plays just to get him in iso to close a game knowing he is going to choke
