What Happened to the San Antonio Spurs? 

king juice ik they say that they suck for losing to the nuggets but the nuggets were actually really good

@@Matthew-jn4zm they legit could of won too Pop and that team was crazy

I think had more to due with the nuggets adjusting to there first time in the playoffs

They would've won if refs called the foul when DeRozan went up for the layup on jokic

Did they win?

Do you believe in God

Christ is King no

Mattmmixes why is that?

@@luminous9777 I believe in God

The Spurs will always try to be competitive no matter what we aren't the type to hunt for lottery picks or big name free agents

Yeah, I feel like there is no way he has watched the Spurs at all in the last month or two, otherwise he 100% would have mentioned a player famously aversed to 3 pointers suddenly being one of the best shooters in the league over the last couple weeks.

He's also been quite shit at everything else

@@moonshinei If being top 10 in the league in blocks= shit, I can't wait to see how good he will be when he isn't being "shit at everything else" you dunce.

@@poeltlpower1880 Idc. He's been the main reason Deebo has had no help this season. He's fallen off since last year and has been on a steady decline. Good on him to finally get a three pointer, but the deficiencies are endless when you dive into advanced stats.

@@moonshinei Okay I'm outta here, you bring up advanced stats and DeMar having no help in the same conversation... You're clearly trolling no one could be that stupid.

I hated him when he was on the bucks, always felt he there cuz he was big, not talented

Fndn Fndn ong

Now, Baynes.

Kawhi was always going to leave since his uncle wanted a bigger market.

@@TheComebackkidMc then he should take his talents to the Knicks. NY is a big market there.

GibbyGames this is a transitioning year interms of teaching and developing for both the Spurs and Warriors

The_One_And_Only And the sniper Danny

@@yololo6485 people tend to forget about Danny but not us

asian dude nah he just dosent fit the way the spurs play

asian dude he was so good on the raptors.

I am a Spurs Fan and i can say Derozan is probably the softest Sg/SF in the league. He is 6'7" 230lbs of muscle and doest drive the paint. Grow some fucking balls already! You cant shoot we get it use that damm body for something

@@Sicnesses23 if you were a spurs fan you wouldn't say that cuz he's averaging 30 pts over the past 10 games

He is a typical example of a star in today’s generation. He can only do one thing - score. If he’s in the 80s 90s he’ll be a normal player

Then he would just leave in free agency and the spurs would never get derozan. Think.

@Ronald Mack Leonard was always going to LA no matter what. It honestly didn't matter what Parker said imo

The Spurs would have had a realistic shot of winning in 2017 if not for that injury. All they had to do was finish that team off in game 1 then take care of business at home. Maybe even get the sweep by taking game 2 as well. Imagine how people would view the Warriors then.

It’s the injury’s that killed the warriors, if fully healthy they would sweep the raptors

Nah uncle Dennis toxicity would still poison Leonard

True , but not from scratch. They have few solid young players.

Mercurey spurs and pats are in similar situations rn

Unfortunately the Kawhi trade did them in

Mercurey YES.

Not a complete rebuild but a huge retooling get rid of Derozan and Aldridge get some good pieces

Jack Murray is not their best guard

Losing key role player Davis Bertans who had the best 3pt fg% last season, who also helped them become the top 1 team in 3pt fg% further disabled them right now.

Derozan is being exposed

@@LeafyPeach, how? He has the second highest FG%of any guard in the nba. Hes been on a tear as of late! In the last 10ish games, hes been averaging like 27 6 and 6 on 65% efficiency. That's totally being exposed, right.

Gang time dejounte

Yes I agree with you. We need something i don't know what. Tim has saved us for years.

No he isn’t

@@christopherray6370 Tim has saved spurs for years because the spurs dynasty was built around him since his draft day. Once Timmy retired and kawhi left, the spurs have never been the same

@@mrpopo5097 we going be trash for awhile, might have to get use to this not making the playoffs for awhile, Pop to me doesn't seem to get the same reaction for these new guys that he did of players in the past.

danny green leaving is a big minus on defense but nah not those, they can continue winning and creating without those the thing is they are having less hustle and defense. really need to put 1000 effort there. (dont expect the youngones to do it, all they want is to go offense)

Pop got older

Ahh thank you 🙏

Tom Delay Beats, I’ll get you banned from RU-vid for life without another account being created for saying that you saved 11 minutes when that’s not how you save minutes and your answer it’s too short of what happened

@@VictorFernandezBigdestroyer someone’s mad

Wait wtf u say. You cant just be a big 3 fan. Ur a spur fan . then bandwagon to the rockets. Gtfoh

that ain’t what he was saying g lmao

texans blew a 24-0 lead lol

WeAreTexans #RedNation we all Eternally thankful and Love those coach Rudy T and Hakeem #TheDream Olujawon led 1994, 95' Vernon Maxwell, Charles Jones, Mario Elie, Tracy Murray, Otis Thorpe, Carl Hererra, Sam Cassell, Pete Chillcut, Scottie Brooks, Clyde Drexler, Kenny Smith, Robert Horry, assistant Jim Boylen, GM president of basketball operations, scouts, Carroll Dawson, owner Les Alexander, and crew championship teams

@@robertfonseca3381 that's not what he said, he said as a rockets fan he has always really liked the spurs big 3, respected them.

Raps still won the trade

Same bro! 😂

Fast forward Spurs beat Raptors in a nail biter. Spurs are a really hard team to read this year.

Shulkle Arcidiacono watch they somehow finesse into the 8th seed

@@sultan0072011 the 8th seed is pretty much theirs to lose. Memphis is playing great but spurs are the best team of the bunch competing for that last spot unless Zion comes back playing like a superstar

@@R.B.90 Zion will bring Pelicans to the finals this year.

DarkPope666 are you good? 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

yea I forever hate that dude. spurs could've saved bertan

no wonder you voted democrat

He’s gone get over it lmaoo

A Boston fan here. Your organization.is one of the best in terms of rebuilding a team. You will lose contention a year or two. But will contend again in the next few year.

They're consistently mediocre.

@@darkpope6667, if you dont mind me asking, what team do you like?

@@skar97_43, ??

Alberto Santillan he’s a golden state fan 😂😂😂

Da Brown Guy exactly... Unfortunately...

Pop is a relic of the past.

Unless you’re the fucking Yankees

Right man.... 20 run just isn't long enough i guess lol

relser the Yankees have as much disappointing seasons as me and u are alive... wa u talkin bout

Hanson duron Espn has

So since when does ESPN matter still never stop the spurs from winning before so why does it matter now they never really cared about the spurs when Duncan was there when Robinson was there when or Kawhi was there or Parker and Ginobili And look how great those players turned out to be

Mr. Regular Season is one of the shittiest players I've ever seen in playoffs.

Little notice

DeRozan isnt as popular

Cam C we clearly Still do

Phil Jackson

Pop, Phil Jackson, and Pat Riley make up the holy trinity of coaches, for sometime I expect Mike Budenholzer and Nick Nurse to be mentioned in the same conversation.

So they're in contention to be a first round exit?? Their young players are decent but not at the level of New Orleans, Memphis, Denver, Mavericks, or even the Kings all in the west

@@chelmg9537 new Orleans isn't going to be anywhere near the championship for the next couple of seasons even with zion sadly. The mavs actually have a pretty good shot. The Grizzlies are getting close but they cant knock out the top teams in the playoffs yet. And trust me when I say the kings are 5 years away at best from anywhere close to the championship

@@themanofconstantsorrowelia1929 but those teams young core is better than the spurs, I'll take Brandon Ingram and Zion or Ja Morant and JJJ over Dejounte Murray and White any day

how is he wrong. lonnie walker isnt great. dejounte murray is good, but not great. besides them they are old and the rest of their young guys are not good. just face the facts

OK well first of all those are not facts you’re just stating your opinion lol Both Lamarcus Aldridge and DeMar DeRozan are good players and Patty Mills etc. And the spurs are not that old lol Lonnie Walker this is his first year so can’t jump on him yet come on lol Murray white and Poeltl Witherspoon Keldon Johnson and lucka are all young so clearly you don’t know what you’re talking about

@@hansonduron8650 he said no future, 4-5 year later. la will be 35 next year and demar in almost 30. lonnie is in his second season, but he was injured for alot of his rookie season. the only 3 young pieces that are even good are murray,walker, and jakob. no on else even plays. and patty mills is not worth 13m a year

Mckelly Lynch first of all what he saying is just an opinion to just like yours and just like mine and the Spurs are always a garbage team always old never have any good players but nobody can explain why they’re always relevant for 22 years straight that’s unheard of in the NBA dude

Their future is getting stuck to mediocricity forever. That's their karma for what they did to Kawhi.

JERICH TV you love boring basketball 🏀

U got faith in samanic coming good ?

lilplannedparenthood 😂 funny your just like cowboys

Naw

Cause he don’t take no 3’s

Because it's over lol the competition got better that's all

It's because for all of his famous coaching career, he was known for developing these guys into the hall of famers they are now today. He got lucky, had a winning team who he coached extremely well (winning team dosen't equal success, great coaching does). When you have that many good players together, it becomes increasingly hard to get them to gel. Look at basically any superteam that's ever existed. The ones with good coaching excelled. The ones with bad coaching almost always had a player that took on that on-court coach type of role as a leader. And then there's the ones with bad coaching and nobody stepping up as a leader, which is what leads a stacked talented team to a downward spiral. You take any great coach with a team with no identity, and they can do their best, but are not a wizard or god and can only take them so far. Look at DeJounte Murray. He's a great example. This man was not suppose to develop into the star he is today. Just like Kawhi. They both began as not "role players" in the way we think of them, but players who played a specific role, in their case, usually defense. And Pop helped coach their game to the point where Murray is a triple double machine on offense and one of the leagues BEST defensive guards. Pop still to this day doing a phenomenal job at developing those young guys and teaching them to play team ball no matter who is capable of carrying the load or bla bla bla. But ya man put some reshpek on this man name

Starless?? Derozan and aldridge are all stars lol

Ok boomer.

BokiZemunac the 2 grammar errors and the minecraft pfp make this comment extremely funny

Tyyy6108 he changed it🤣

@@tyz9519 that was 4 months ago

They'll end up making the playoffs**

NBA Daily first round exit

Lost to Memphis. But yeah. 8th seed for sure.

@@ghostproxy11 so? There's 40 games left of the season. All of a sudden that loss guarantees theyre missing the playoffs?

@@shortyned7140 and theyve been inconsistent the past 40 games.. so what's your point?

@@ghostproxy11 so have the grizzlies, and the rest of the West battling for 8th seed. My point is to not count them out being 1 game behind with 40 games left. Simple really

@@ghostproxy11 and just before that they won against the 2 best teams in the east

He’s a borderline superstar. It’s probably too late for him to be now anyway

chrisvas65 Overrated

Wow derozan haters exist

idk idk not much to hate on 😂

chrisvas65 no reason for you to be a hater though but you are

George Periorellis disagreed, Derozan is going to be a free agent after this season, they should trade him now

@@ArshdeepSingh-yl5fr as a Spurs fan i agree. DeRozan is still a good player, and if we would trade him now, we might get some decent pieces in return.

@@ArshdeepSingh-yl5fr im mostly saying it because they will break the record for most consecutive playoff appearances

CPGoat #3 still haven’t missed the playoffs, I’d say that’s pretty good without Duncan or Kawhi

CPGoat #3 facts lol

@@4_kingss not missing the playoffs and being actual contenders are two different things. They were always finals contented when Duncan was there. As soon as hes gone, kawhi keeps them afloat for one season and then hes gone and they fall off a cliff as far as contention goes.
