San Antonio Spurs 2019-2020 season thread: Just here for the HEB commercials

The Spurs always have to have to a tall white guy that can’t dunk...see Splitter, Oberto, and all the way back to Paultz.

That phenomena is not limited to the Spurs. The big white stiff at the end of the bench is as much a part of NBA history as Michael Jordan. They really should do a 30 for 30 on it. 

And Splitter, Oberto and Paultz could all play. There have been some atrocious gigantic white dudes like Chuck Nevitt, Mike Smrek, Petur Gudmundsson and Mengke Bateer (ok, not white) that have sat at the end of the Spurs bench.

    Really cool article from The Athletic on Pop from guys who didn't spend very much time on the team "Keith Langford (2007-08, 2 games): I’m not a Spurs fan by any means. But I’ll defend them tooth

If we find a way to lose this that's it for me for this season, boys. And that will be it for the Spurs, too.

Quin Synder totally throwing Pop a bone today - no Gobert, Mitchell or Conley.  Don't care, will take the W. GSG.

Resting them for the game against Denver tomorrow - and all the good coaches treat Pop with respect. He's earned it. 

If we win out, we need the Grizzlies to lose 2 to make the play in and the Suns to lose 1. That is pretty likely as Memphis has OKC, TOR, BOS and MIL remaining and Phoenix has MIA, OKC, PHI and DAL.

Us winning all of our last 3 is less likely, however. And if we lose any of those then we need teams to lose more (obviously).

I'm writing off catching POR at this point. 

Nice to beat Utah's taxi squad...... Starting all these young guys and exactly what we should have been doing since the start of the season.  Lonnie, White, and Murray all over 30 minutes.  Keldon with 24.  Now where's the other first rounder?  The one we passed on Brandon Clarke for.

Oh, I know they could play. But they were all 6’9” or taller and could barely dunk. How may times did we see Splitter get blocked? Oberto used to pass the ball out to the 3pt line unless he was literally by himself at the rim. And the Whopper? I’d be surprised if he could touch the rim after his first couple of years in the league. But to your point, yes, they were all good players.

Especially the coaches who are Larry Brown's son in law and had their career hit rock bottom before Pop pulled him off the trash heap and gave him the Austin affiliate D-league head coaching job. Don't get me wrong, there are tons of guys who owe their careers to Gregg Popovich, but Quin Snyder would probably selling insurance right now if it weren't for him.

Pouting on the bench. Ol’ T-Rex arms.

And Snyder is a good coach who should not be on a trash heap. Pop was right.

SAS has a lot of good karma in NBA-world. That works to the Spurs advantage more often than not.

Poeltl has always basically been a Splitter clone to me. The refusal to dunk which leads to him getting swatted just like Tiago used to do is just the cherry on top. 

Good players, probably both underappreciated, but annoying and hard to watch at times because of their lack of aggression. But both of them are much, much better than Oberto or Nesterovic or any of the trash we rolled out at center between D-Rob and Splitter ever were.

I still love you though, Kevin Willis.

Maybe they can do us a solid today, if the Spurs can hang on.

The Kings could have Fox and Luka. I think about that often.

Without White, Demar is turning into a mental midget and they’re tiring the ball over like they’re the Washington Generals.

Goddamnit Marco fucking sucks. He’s just the worst. A dingle berry on a hemorrhoidic asshole.

That was a pretty viscous dunk.

Marco thinks that he is Hakeem.

Reddick getting the Harden treatment out there.

The NBA needs to adopt the Elam Ending rule.

Still alive - hopefully White can bounce back.  I assume no chances will be taken with his availability to play, so I guess that’s it for him in the bubble.

 

Anyone want to correct my thought experiment:

Trade Aldridge

Extend DeRozan

Kill Forbes

Jakob player of the game. 

Yea, I thought the pelican front court would abuse him and they didn't.  Spurs somehow had a slight rebound advantage.

Sign and trade DeRozan.

Trade Forbes.

See what LMA wants to do but maybe trade him too.

Problem is our young guys are all guards running around.  Need some length and athleticism up front but we've been saying that since David's back got fucked up.

Zion looked really passive

He scored a lot,  but agree. He looks tired, passive , and just not really present. I cringe every time he jumps, just seems like he's flirting with injury at every turn. I hope he slims down, because he won't last long like this.

Trade Forbes? To who and for what? He's borderline worthless, he brings some 3-pt shooting that goes in spurts, when it falls consistently he can break even on the +/- end, when his shooting is spotty he's heavily on the - end because his defense ranks close to the worst in the entire NBA. LMA deserves a feel good ending, if Portland wasn't in cap hell the reunion he seeks there would be a fitting ending to his career. Things didn't work out the way he envisioned in SA with the nephew going full bitch ass. Who would want DeRozan? Possibly the Knicks or Magic? The Knicks have jack shit to offer in a trade. Can't envision any other suitors.
