[The Ballsbreakers]

There it is - my first game thread (I tried making one a while back but was a wee bit late posting it).

My life is complete.

Go Spurs Go.

You got a bit too excited and put 58-18 for the Spurs in the title, fixed.

The widget is easy. Just tag @LeBowen when starting the thread and he’ll do it

No reason to hate. He was a good Spur.

horrible take

volume chucker with early 2000s shot selection, no clutch gene him and LMA were made for each other

So what?
DDR didn't ask to be traded to the Spurs.
He got to a team on an obvious decline, did his best and never caused a single issue.
It's not his fault he wasn't good enough.

Blame Pop/Wright/RC for trading for such a flawed player and expecting him and an aging LMA to be competitive

Impressive we won 61 games that year considering how old that roster was tbh.

Derozan did everything that he was asked to do when PATFO traded for him tbh. Stayed healthy and leveled up his playmaking under Pop. Then went on to net the Spurs some valuable assets (both directly and indirectly) when he went to Chicago then the Kings.

Nobody should knock him for his time with us.

 

[OK Computer]

Yeah, I don’t get this wasted energy of hating everything that moves. Or even if it’s one thing or person just all the time, I don’t see how that’s not exhausting to someone’s mental well-being. We all decay/ rot in our own ways, I guess.

Kawhi was playing like an MVP on both ends and LMA was solid that year plus Gasol was pretty good his first year here.

Forget about David Lee sometimes. He is one of my favorite one and done Spurs. Too bad he retired right after that because he definitely could have continued playing

Go Spurs! It won't be easy!

Kawhi against the Rockets that year is one of the hypest moments in Spurs history tbh

I still think G4 in Memphis was his best game ever.
43/8/3 with 6 steals.

Facts. Really miss Bill Land on the call too tbh.

And extremely clutch too. He kept hitting big shot after big shot in the 4th qtr/OT of that game. He was on a heater.

I loved David Lee that year. I thought he busted his ass trying to be a better defender while he played for the Spurs. I don't remember if he was injured or in the Warriors rotation when they won their first ring.

Had to look it up he was on the 2015 team.
