Ugh...I don’t see a comeback happening in this one.

The Spurs are such a better-run organization than we are. They get so much more out of so much less talent. If they had our roster they would be the #2 seed in the west.

It's become a "shoot and fall down" league.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 8:22 pmAnother great defensive possession. Aldridge falls after great defense by Ayton. Fuck these refs. They are going to cause Ayton to get in foul trouble and become tentative. REWARD GREAT DEFENSE. This is a joke!
And that's not entertaining.

Who the heck even is Bryn Forbes? Why do these no-name players have career nights against us? Why don't we defend 3-point shooters, even when they are scorching hot?

How can you have such a dominant physical weapon on the court and just completely ignore him forever?

Another block+rebound for Ayton, he's becoming very skilled at that!

This season has been so frustrating. Every step forward, it’s two steps back. Every time I start to think they are turning the corner, I’m humbly reminded they are not. I really hope these growing pains, these tough stretches and these tough losses will make them a better team next year. This organization has dug such a big hole that I’m not sure how long it is going take to climb out.

Ayton the only one playing hard. Playing defense, blocking shots, diving on the floor, going for loose balls, getting rebounds. Then they go down and our terrible backup PG loses the ball. Then Oubre forces up a contested ugly layup and misses. Another 4 possessions without involving Ayton on offense.

I hope they can bring the lead down to 10 but not expecting it.

Well, Booker is playing hard when he sees a change to put up a FGA.AmareIsGod wrote: ↑Mon Jan 20, 2020 8:37 pmAyton the only one playing hard.

9 possessions in a row now without Ayton involved on offense. WOW.

I'm glad we're doing all we can to get Okobo involved and having him laser focused on scoring while our 6ft11 #1 draft pick gets position in the post, arms up, with a smaller defender on him. What a team. What a coach.

Thank GOD for Booker. Otherwise I'd be doing anything else right now.

Booker is on fire but it doesn’t matter. Pop will instruct his team to let him fire away - they will trade baskets for the entire 4th because we can’t stop anybody.
Spurs still shooting better than 50 percent from deep.
