  1. Maybe we’re lucky again and Keldon gets shipped out before the deadline.
  2. GG Jackson. Selected in the second round, one pick after the kid we just traded.
  3. He’s such a fucking awful defender. Every time there’s a miscommunication or fuck up in rotation, he’s in the middle of it. I’d almost rather have Zach Collins. Almost.
  4. I know you love him, but he’s a big part of the problem right now.
  5. Some teams have three serviceable bigs, some teams have one. I would take Mo Bamba at this point.
  6. I’m glad the trade happened, but most of this team is still a steaming pile of dogshit. Champagnie out there playing like he’s got two left hands, Sochan is regressing, Vic wants to be a perimeter defender, Harrison Barnes is icy hot, and then they go and make a hellacious run while I’m typing this shit.
  7. Just sit it out for a little bit. You would be fully justified in tuning out the NBA for a while. You guys are always welcome in this community if you want to come and decompress or talk ball. If you want to root for the Spurs, welcome. We're happy to have you.
  8. Not that anyone cares, but I'll give my two cents: This fucking sucks as a sports fan for multiple reasons. I've seen a lot of my fellow Spurs fans liken this to the Kawhi bullshit, and I've seen it slapped down for reasons that I agree with. If I had to compare it to something I've never felt, it would be akin to the Spurs trading Manu after the 2005 season. Hear me out (Sushi Gloryhole). I'm not comparing their basketball skill. What I would compare is the love that the team's fans have for them respectively and the way they're exalted in the community. I can't think of another player in San Antonio history as beloved as Manu. Tim is/was the rock, but Manu was the heart. I assume that the Dirk/Luka comparison would be comparable here. Luka was overlooked in the draft and fell to the Mavs. He was a prodigy from day one. He's done things on the court that I've never seen an overweight, slow-ass motherfucker do. He's taken everyone in this league to school. He's won and lost in every way imaginable. And, he wanted to be in Dallas. He loved the community, and the community loved him. The Finals run last year was glorious, and when he came back this year you just knew they were gearing up for another run. I've had my heart ripped out of my chest multiple times. A few of those have been sports-related. 99.9% have been wins and losses. If my team had traded Manu at the height of his popularity and taken away from me the resulting years of his career, the championship runs and the incredibly hurtful losses, I would be beyond furious. This kid was supposed to be there for the long haul, a fixture in the Dallas community after he stopped playing. It doesn't matter if he wasn't the perfect player, he was perfect for the team they had built around him and perfect for the fans that adored him. And now it's gone. As I was driving home last night, I saw a kid riding his bike wearing a Dirk jersey. You could see the emotion on his face, trying to process what happened. We all get our hearts broken at some point, but it's supposed to happen on the court and field. It's a rude awakening when the business of sports and politics ruins what sports is supposed to be about. What happened Saturday night still has no plausible explanation and it's caused a lot of us to see nefarious conspiracies because they make more sense (and unfortunately might have some truth to them). I'm sorry to all of you who rooted for this team and I hope this works out for you in the long run. You guys deserved better than this.
  9. Start here, watch all 50. Should give you some insight. Stomp on your balls and hit yourself pretty hard for some indescribable loss pains. If you hate the sight of purple and gold, you’re starting to fit in. Piss on a picture of Kawhi Leonard and welcome to the dark side!
  10. All this fighting over some fuckwit named Kawhi.
  11. Been dealing with kid flu sickness and noticed my shit i took just a few minutes ago smelt of chicken fried steak and fried okra. I knew something was up. Great job, Spurs people! Let’s go win some goddamn games.
