    Tough day. I. covered the Spurs from 1996-2014. I saw the franchise, which had always been on the cusp of getting the crown, but never getting over the hump, as runner-up. Losing to the Washington in

    I knew this day was coming sooner than later. It's still hard. IMO, Pop is the greatest NBA coach/executive of all time. (Spare me the Red Auerbach/Phil Jackson talk today.) I'm sure I've told th

This game proves how fucking shitty Mitch is. No Mamu all year. Having Sochan and Castle on the bench all season. 

Thank you, Mamu. It’s been a shitty basketball season. Needed that.

Start Wemby, Castle and Sochan. Those are your untouchables. That's your three. Those are your fucking gangsters capable of developing and winning playoff games.

Strip everything else. Burn it the fuck down. Get a real coach. Put some fucking dogs around those guys. I want Keldon gone. I want DV gone. 

Then go win a bunch. 

I have little faith that they'll do that - but -  that's what they need to do. Imo.

GSG

Fox/Castle backcourt - find a money 3 - Sochan 4 - Wemby 5 - find a good bench. 

Let's go win a couple titles.

a money 3

we must first take it in the pooper to draft him

Can't let it pass without getting a MAMUUUUUU!!! in for posterity.

Came to post that.

In a season where Pop has a stroke, trade for Fox, Wemby out with a deep vein thrombosis, and a likely 2nd straight Spurs ROY winner ...

next on the Bingo card for this year was "25-year-old overlooked Georgian-American power forward sets an all-time scoring record with Flavor Flav in the post-game interview hyping him to the crowd."

Yeah, of course.

Last 10 games, Spurs have the best offense in the NBA. Oh, and also the worst defense.

Favorite Spur since we were worth a shit and it isn't even close.

3rd straight win. When was the last time that happened?

2008?

Keldon in a 40 point win managed to shoot 2/10 in 19 mins.

Memo needs to get recirculated. I bet their TPS reports are a mess too.

Haven’t been to a game in a while. Best place to get tickets without getting raked over the coals by Stubhub/Seatgeek? 

Castle almost had a triple double. 23/11/8 and 4 of his boards were offensive. 

I just said I'd trade Wemby for him. 

Maybe we won't have to.

I’ve been really impressed with the way this team has played lately. They really need some players taller than 6’8”.

Cooper Flag is gonna look good in silver and black

I know we're not going to get him but how amazing would that be.  Beat the odds for another generational talent?  Such a huge drop-off after the first five or so in this draft.  Who are we realistically hoping to add to the nucleus of wemby/fox/castle/sochan?  

First time I got to see the Spurs. Of course, against my Celtics.

No aggie bs. Cool crowd. Lots of Celtics fans.

You all have a good young team, but the Celtics relaxed tonight. Celtics passing is smooth like butter.

Fun time with a few good friends.

 

Giannis is more than likely going to ask out in the off-season.

The Spurs could offer Kelvin, Vassell and Barnes with 3-4 1st round picks (bucks would have to send back Connaughton to make money work).

Fox / Giannis / Wemby would probably be the greatest big 3 ever.

Might be hard to do..

I'm not going to be too upset if we jump Portland (which I don't think we will). 

It would mean we got close to .500 on the season and at some point you need to start winning basketball games. 

I think this has been a nice stretch for Mitch, too - to maybe get a better handle on some shit in low-leverage games and not have as many moving parts with Wemby and Fox out. I have my doubts that he's the guy long term but if they hire him going into next season I guess we'll see what the fuck happens. 

I'd like if they threw CP another year or two as long as he's cool with coming off the bench going forward.

 

The schedule coming up is absolutely atrocious, with a chance to out-tank Portland and lose one to Toronto. Let’s see if some of these G-League guys get a call up, especially with CP3 getting his bonus.

Damn, so close to pulling that upset off. The old guys balled out those last few minutes.

So...... what about this next year?

PG - Fox

SG - Castle

SF - Kevin Durant

PF - Sochan

C - Wemby

 

Bench:  Vassell, Champagnie, Rookie, Rookie, UFA, UFA, UFA

Trade:  KD (51m in) for Barnes, Keldon, Branham & Wesley + draft filler (1st and a swap probably)  (19m + 17.5m + 5m + 4.7m = 46.2m + filler if needed)

The only way this works is if KD was adamant about going to the Spurs and wouldn't play ball unless he gets there..... which is what guys who are under contract do these days. 

One of the UFAs would have to be a shooter, because we're a shitty shooting team.  Another would be a rotational interior defender/tough guy muscle.  That would allow the Spurs to be aggressive and go BPA in the draft.  If Castle is as good as I think he can be and brings the defense along with Sochan and Wemby, can that squad challenge in the West?  I do admit the KD trade isn't likely, but there is a path.  

If we draft 8 or 9, who do you take or hope for?  Knueppel?  Egor?  Fears?  Tre?

Shooting. They need shooting in the worst way. CP3 is probably coming back next year, hopefully as a bench player for the Spurs.

Not a lot of good shooters are being mocked around that slot. Kneuppel is a good shooter, but there's no way he's actually taller than 6'5" and spurs don't need another SG. I'd rather pick a big that can rebound and play D, like Sorber. Who knows. The spurs never pick the guys I want them to. Sometimes that turns out well and sometimes that turns out poorly. If Tre falls that far, we would be blessed by the incompetence of NBA GMs. 

My hope is that Ace Bailey falls and is there when we pick. Dude can shoot. Wishful thinking on my part.

Hopefully these are the last four games of Malaki Branham’s Spurs career. gtfo GIF

He was really good last night but these are barely NBA games down the stretch. 

Vassell turning the inbounds over when we had a chance to win down 5 was rather disheartening. He just doesn't seem like a guy that plays well when the lights are on - let alone a meaningless game in Portland at the end of the season. And then KJ with a smooth 1/11 and -20. There is a hard ceiling for this team whenever those two get 55+ minutes combined. 

Castle is just fucking incredible. He may be an all-star in 2 seasons.

And of course none of this shit matters until Wemby is back. Fingers-crossed he opens the season.
