PSA: Free Solo is on the National Geographic channel right now, last 20 minutes.  It starts over again after this.

You could stop wasting your time watching the Spurs live and work to invest in Disney Plus.  You could watch Free Solo at 7am, like I did today.  

Seriously, I was at Hills and Dales and they were about to switch away from Eastern Michigan vs. Pitt for the stupid Spurs game.  I had to protest.  No one should be watching this shit before February.

Really cool article from The Athletic on Pop from guys who didn't spend very much time on the team "Keith Langford (2007-08, 2 games): I’m not a Spurs fan by any means. But I’ll defend them tooth

Between the Spurs, Rangers, Cowboys, and Longhorns I don’t know if my sports apathy has ever been higher. All hope has been taken from me and I don’t have anything to look forward to anymore. I have to resort to cheering against teams I hate as my sports outlet now.

Just watched some highlights. Sign me up right now. He'd look great sitting on the bench next to Lonnie.

I'm liking this game out of Lonnie.  He's not scoring much but he's active and doing other things.  5 rebounds and an assist.  He needs to be more than just a scorer.  That's how you get on Pop's good side.  Be active as fuck by chasing down rebounds, loose balls, blocking shots, making the extra pass, etc.

After being sort of out of the loop over the last few weeks due to crazy work hours and the holidays, I'm getting caught back up.

Why is Lonnie still only getting 10 minutes/game or so? Is he in Pop's doghouse for some reason? He's looked great tonight, and in the games I've seen him so far this year, he's been a very solid contributor. There's no way he's the 8th or 9th best player on our team, but he's getting that person's minutes.

Pop doesn't like his hair.

Forbes is trash. Dude belongs in the g league. He’s fucking awful. 

He's not terrible but Pop plays him way too many minutes.  He's terrible defensively and sort of a one trick pony.  On a good team, he's a 15 minute bench guy who is the 8/9th guy on the team.  He's Patty..... can't win with two Patty's getting 50 minutes between the 2.

He’s awful at any minute allocation. If he can’t hit threes, fuck him. Every team in the league attacks him with great success. Dude is turrible. On a good team he’d be cut. You should be embarrassed (joking) comparing him to Patty, and you know how I feel about Patty.

Hello loss column. Another good opportunity for failure up next. 

And soon - the Nirvana of Tankdom - The Rodeo Road Trip.

Hoping for the big 3-0 before the end of the month.

It’s going to be a rough month. February 6th is the trade deadline, so maybe there’s hope yet for a quiet surrender and Draft preparations.

We can only hope. Either way, the next 20-ish games through the RRT are going to be brutal. They've had an extremely favorable schedule so far and have only managed a 14-19 record. How many wins do you see here? I think 8 wins out of the next 22 would be a borderline miracle. They could actually go 0-fer the RRT. I don't imagine they will be favored in any of those games.

DDR, Marco and Patty are popular targets for criticism and rightfully so at times, but the biggest problem with the Spurs this year is Forbes. He's killing the Spurs. Forbes can light it up from the 3 and have a perfect game, yet still barely break even or finish with a negative net rating due to his inability to stop anyone defensively. Pop should experiment with DDR back at his natural 2 and give a guy like Carroll a go at the 3. Lyles has also been a significant part of the problem this season, but the Spurs have no options at the 4. LMA is stuck at the 5 because there is only one other player who can play the position adequately in Jakob. Morris was never going to make or break the team, but I can't help but wonder how much better the Spurs would've been at the 4 with Morris opposed to that shitter Lyles. The Spurs have options to replace Forbes, but outside of making a deal before the deadline there is no way to replace Lyles.

The Spurs are a much better team with either Morris or Bertans. Spurs best 5 is DJM, White, LMA, LW4, and DDR, especially if LMA is going to be shooting 3s like this. They would be well served to move DDR for a younger 3 and D dude. A rich man's Avery Bradley.

I went to a spurs game tonight for the first time since 2016. Yeah we beat the Bucks, so what. The god damn silver dancers were nowhere to be found. Instead they have a bunch of middle school kids dancing around like morons.

What the fuck is this? Is this what happens when you suck? You replace slutty women dancing with middle schoolers? Fuck it, I’m out

Some of those male dancers are more feminine than the previous all female dance squads.

The too-proud-to-be-strippers-but-too-hot-to-not groups are extinct across NBA arenas as far as I can tell.
