KJ is the last person that needs to be beating the drum - needs to be Fox!!!

Exactly! He needs to be beating the drum, doing the on-court interview, the postgame interview and banging every one of the Portland player’s wives, at minimum. For now, he’ll settle for the maximum. Contract that is.

Are these not live? After one person, theres th next interview immediately

Respect to Coach Tiago guys,

he was integral to that legendary 2014 team

Sadly, he’s going to be out of a job here. Their new owner is shopping for a coach at Walmart.

Add him to the Spurs staff, tbh.

Fo down, Fo, Fo, Fo to go.

Nice Moses Malone reference

Fuck their owner tbh. Tiago deserves the job. He had an amazing run. Splitter is a legend.

Literally everything else in my life is utter and total shit, but I'm so blessed as a sports fan, I can hardly believe it.

Hope things get better my dude. Last year has been rough for me as well; Spurs have been a nice revelation this year for a lot of us tbh.

Same bro. Lost my dad 2 months ago, Spurs have been my saving grace tbh.

I can’t see any of him, BB, or Plumlee with us next season unless we really strike out somehow in the draft.

Danny Ferry, Steve Smith and Kevin Willis didn't really log a lot of minutes during the Spurs runs, but having the vets there to help guide them from the bench was essential.

 

[Trifecta]

They gave it to him, because he waited longer than any Spurs in history to make the playoffs.

I was looking at it from a game performance perspective, but your insight makes sense!

Baseline Bums was part of that process too. Can't imagine how frustrating it would be if we still posted on the slow ass ST servers in a winning season lol.

 

[Robz4000]

Needs to be said, but the officiating this series was really bad tbh. If the Guests were more talented this could've been a completely different series. If the whistle remains this way going forward when the level of competition picks up the Spurs are in trouble. OTOH, its good practice if/when they get to SGA and the Thunderefs.

Best wishes, bro. I’ve been having it rough too, having lost two loved ones within the last year and a half with my pops having advanced dementia. Sports is trivial when it’s all said and done but…on the other hand, they still find a way to boost the mood and I want to see these guys win with all of us celebrating.

And somebody mentioned it before I don’t know if there’s an opening, but he should be on our staff. If he can’t get another head job.

 

[Spursgenius]

didnt read thread just coming on. Is CB in Mitch doghouse ?

 

[Mugen]

informal interviews for his replacement behind his back while Splitter is literally coaching in the playoffs is literal scumbag behavior. Tiago deserves better, f that cheap mfer tbh.

In viewing the Knicks game tonight, the refs were allowing so much contact it looked like street ball!

It seemed like our guys don’t get the friendly whistle especially Castle, Wemby, and Fox. Frustrating that they let defenders be pretty physical and aggressive with Wemby but as soon as our guys tried the same defense against Deni, whistle came in fast lol

Come home Tiago

 

[Manu20]

Great finish by Fox. But it is a bit concerning that the Spurs seemed so dependent on him at the end of the game.

This is exactly why they brought him over, to be the calm clutch closer.

Can we get him on the Spurs coaching roster

Danny Ferry, Steve Smith and Kevin Willis didn't really log a lot of minutes during the Spurs runs, but having the vets there to help guide them from the bench was essential.

All those guys had big games during the ‘03 title run. Ferry showed up for game 2 of the Suns series when Willis got suspended and Robinson couldn’t play due to knee problems and got a ton of rebounds. Steve Smith was big against the Suns in game 6. Willis helped out a lot against the Lakers when it came guarding Shaq.

I don’t see Bismack or Kelly being instrumental in any wins during the playoffs. Both look like they got nothing left in their tank.
