We’re no going to overtake okc. Not happening. Our best hope is 2nd seed. Root for nuggets,rockets and lakers to go on a losing streak.

There isn’t a single team in the top 8 of the west I’d feel comfortable about facing in round 1. But agreed, 2 seed should be the goal regardless

 

[Ice009]

As I said around two weeks ago, Spurs are one of the worst teams currently in the top 10. There's at least 7 teams playing better than them. Other teams are losing, but most of them have a better chance to turn it around. Spurs look terrible against even mediocre teams.

Calling it first.

Reed points and asts > Castle + Harper

Is it just me, or do these former Spurs assistant coaches turned head coaches seem to take extra pleasure in going after Mitch? They must have a group text going, unable to believe he’s the one who got the gig. I can see the gleam in Will Hardy’s eye, like a mischievous kid pulling the wings off a fly every time he challenges a call and Mitch makes that face.

I hope the commentators grasp the nonexistent, extensive coaching search that never happened, would only need to have encompass all of Pop’s coaching tree. We would have had a better Coach.

Revel in your popisms, commenters who still defend the Spurs. Bask in the comfort of continued denial that the coaching staff Mitch emerged from wasn’t a dumpster fire—just leftovers. Not the result of the old man sitting on the throne too long. Not a case where there was no Jaime Lannister to deal with a mad king. It was only some cosmic circumstance beyond any control or "steps" that landed us Victor, castle, harper.

Tiago, home, now

Someone please pull all the records of Pop's disciples and coach tree personnel vs Spurs

All teams have their issues tbh.. In the top 10 there are imo 3 teams better> OKC, Denver and Rockets. I'm not sure why 7 teams would have a better chance to turn it around. Spurs have a very young roster growing together including the coach, it comes with a lot of missed opportunities and game management mistakes. Spurs have significant room for improvement and are from being a finished product. Spurs are also losing bunch of games because of mn management of Victor, it is expected once they took the decision they won't compromise with preserving him no matter what... Now Mitch needs to do a better job distributing those mn but also stop the Castle handling the ball experiment and give Harper proper mn. Those 3 key elements should not be the most complicated stuff to resolve. All in all I believe Spurs deserve their standing, they benefit from some opponents fuck up or injuries but we had our share of injuries and fucks up. At the end if they can keep the 2nd seed great, if not it is also ok. What matters is get this team in the POs and build on the experience.

Can Wemby finally put together a decent performance against Houston? Feel like he shits the bed every time we play them tbh.

 

[Rafa]

Another long period between games to adjust, plan, and come more prepared. Can't wait for us to do the exact same things again anyway.

It would be nice to win this one. Depends on which Spurs team shows up.

I'll say Spurs 105-100.

What a flip. Bottom 4 teams playing better now than the top 4 teams. Going to be a exciting second half of the season. Very, very little room for mistakes.

Wonder if the Spurs will practice shooting the basketball during the 3 day wait? When we miss 13 free throws I expect to lose. Have hope for Houston, but ain't betting the house after last night.
