We won. Hurray? This win makes me feel icky.

What’s even sadder is that this was supposed to be the year where everything connected: Herbert in a Moore offense, talent across the OLine and WR corp, superstars on several positions on D, JC Jackson to anchor the DB corp, a savvy vet at MLB, and a reliable almost perfect kicker. On paper, this team has absolutely everything it needs to win it all.

But we have Brandon Staley running the show, and Telesco who finally ran out of coupons. Now… we won’t be contenders for next 2-3 years at least. This is as good as it gets for this team for a while.

TL,DW: Spurs are in tank mode and Wemby won’t win ROTY because his stats are suffering because of tank. The experimental lineups and assignments are to find the best way to use Wemby in the future.

We are the most spoiled fan base because of 15+ years of dominance. 5 years of mediocrity and you expect a 19yo to come in and fix everything, lol.

Obligatory Fire Staley! comment.

I have zero clue what’s going on behind the scenes, but it seems to me that Pops knows that starting Sochan at PG is not a formula for winning basketball for now. If we were trying to win this year and develop Sochan at PG at the same time, Sochan would be coming off the bench to ease him into this new role. With Sochan starting, we are almost guaranteed to have more losses, which helps us land a higher draft pick.

So now the Spurs have more flexibility in next year’s draft: if Sochan develops into a serviceable starting point guard, they can go BPA. If it doesn’t work out with Sochan, he’ll go back to his regular role as a wing player but he will have gained to some experience that will help him with his court vision and playmaking skills, plus the Spurs will have a chance to land a good PG like Collier or Topic.

After next year’s draft, the Hawks picks will start to kick in and Spurs won’t be as dependent on their own record to land good picks, plus they will have added more complimentary help for Wemby, and a smarter Sochan. So for now, we just have bear the losses and watch this team’s young core grow together and improve. It worked out for OKC, it will work out for us too.

Another good game that I enjoyed watching, despite the loss.

Lol at the one guy yelling westbrick.

This is the first game this season where one of the players (Devin) took control and started telling his teammates what to do.

Is he the vocal leader of this team? Or have I not been paying better attention?

Pops is the goat and everything, but I’d be booing even harder after being told not to boo. Fuck Kawhi.

Joe Gould: That guy’s a bum.

Jimmy Braddock: Two bits will get a guy a seat and that guy gets to watch you bleed and call you a bum. And I know I gotta take it from him, 'cause he’s a paying customer.”

Sorry Pops. You’re wrong on this one. The people at the stadium are paying customers. They came here to be entertained and are entitled to express their displeasure to seeing a snake shoot free throws.

Bad coaching is putting him in a position to fail. He needs to play in the slot more so he can get easy throws where he can show off his yac skills.

He’s no Mike Williams, and he shouldn’t be expected to catch Mike Williams type passes.

I don’t think anyone would blame you if you follow another team while Telesco and Staley get shown the door out, but you’ll have to spend some serious doe on Bolts merchandise as penance when you decide to come back.

Because we all know you’ll come back.

I hope the Chargers social media team acknowledges how bad of a coach Staley was after he gets fired. If there’s a team that would have the balls to make fun of how bad of a coach he is, it would be them.

Mods deleting any post criticizing this shitty ass team, lol.

Some nephews aren’t built for a rebuild. The Spurs organization is one of the most sound and respected sports franchises in the world, and they’re in a small market. I have nothing but faith in this team.

Ggwp. Can’t be mad, Kings got a great team.

We want Mamu! clap, clap, clapclapclap We want Mamu! clap, clap, clapclapclap

I hate getting my hopes up too much, but our remaining schedule doesn’t look that rough anymore. Ravens are banged up, Bills haven’t been doing too well, and the Pats are going downhill. It all comes down to divisional games and anything can happen in those.

Damn it, op. I’m ready to get my heart broken all over again.

Thank you for the /s. I swear there’s a lot of people on this sub that actually do think like that.
