saprophiticus Posted July 4, 2020 Share Posted July 4, 2020 Spurs need to win against the Kings, the Pelicans and twice against the Jazz to secure a play in duel with twice to beat Memphis Grizzlies. Only Portland voted against the resumption of the NBA because of the sentiments of Dames. It looks like Lillard has changed his mind and welcomes Nurkic back to the roster. The Spurs without Aldridge and Derozan in Disneyland will be one of the first to be eliminated. They need to be within 4 games behind the 8th seed for the right to a play in. Quote Link to comment
saprophiticus Posted August 9, 2020 Share Posted August 9, 2020 Spurs are 3 wins and 2 losses in the NBA resumption. Two losses were winnable. Loss to Nuggets was disappointing as Jamal Murray and Will Barton were still in the injured list (Yup I know LaMarcus and Trey were out too). Most deflating was the loss to the Sixers. Mistakes and foul trouble gave the lackadaisical Sixers domination in the paint. Free throw missed by D. White was a heartbreaker in that game. Big game by Derozan and Gay was wasted. the Shake Milton 3 still gives me a headache when I wake up. Next game tomorrow against the rejuvenated New Orleans Pelicans will be a must win for the Spurs. They got some help from the Clippers (with Kawhi injured) winning over Dame's Blazers who missed two big free-throws in the end game. If the Spurs get to the 9th spot, they get to do a play-in with either the Grizzlies or the Blazers. If they do get in the playoffs as the 8th seed, Spurs lose the 11th pick in the 2021 draft as the standings (for draft purposes) were frozen last March. 1 Quote Link to comment
saprophiticus Posted August 14, 2020 Share Posted August 14, 2020 Officially the longest playoff streak in the NBA. 22 seasons and 4 months breaking the 76's record of 22 seasons. Yup I am just emphasizing that in terms of time frame, Spurs broke the record.See you next season! Go Spurs Go! Quote Link to comment

saprophiticus Posted August 22, 2020 Share Posted August 22, 2020 Spurs will pick #11 in the 2020 NBA draft. This is the highest pick ever since the #1 pick Tim Duncan in 1997. Usually, Spurs pick last but still end up with good players like Tony Parker #29, Manu Ginobili #52, Kyle Anderson #30, Derrick White #29, Dejounte Murray #29, Corey Joseph #29 (Team Canada), George Hill #26, Tiago Splitter #28 and Beno Udrih #30. The only aberration was last years draft when the Spurs got to pick #18 (Lonnie Walker), #19 (Luka Samanic) and #29 (Keldon Johnson) when they barely made the playoffs. It is a youth movement for San Antonio in the next few years which is part of the rebuilding strategy. Quote Link to comment
saprophiticus Posted November 14, 2020 Share Posted November 14, 2020 Spurs updates: Front office wants to trade either DeMarr or Lamarcus to GSW in exchange for the #2 pick. The #11 pick and protected draft picks for 2022 and 2023 will also go to GSW. I think GSW will prefer Derozan and his expiring contract over Aldridge but the Spurs don't have much leverage in this proposed trade. Another trade will involve champs Danny Green and Kyle Kuzma of Lakers in exchange for Los Angeles native Derozan. BTW, TD just quit as Assistant Coach of the Spurs Quote Link to comment
saprophiticus Posted December 19, 2020 Share Posted December 19, 2020 Tim Duncan and the Spurs could have been 6-0 in the finals if Ray Allen missed this three point shot. images (3).jpegDid you see the yellow ropes at the back of Ray Allen? They were intended to hold off the crowd rushing into the court to celebrate with the Spurs winning the NBA crown. TMac and Gary Neal were doing a high five not far from this scene. TMac jinxed his team (again). Remember him celebrating early with Orlando Magic? Quote Link to comment
ppdd Posted December 25, 2020 Share Posted December 25, 2020 spurs off to a good start. 7 players in double figures vs grizz. go spurs go! Quote Link to comment
Maj Mujtaba Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 until they have another TD, MG and TP caliber players, they will NOT be a contender even the playoffs is in jeopardy just my honest opinion Quote Link to comment
den2f Posted December 28, 2020 Share Posted December 28, 2020 true. The spurs are just like the bulls. after their franchise player leaves they are not able to contend again. Quote Link to comment
