Bazemore needs to just shoot the damn 3 when he is open. He been trying to create too much.

This game man. We missed Millsap in the 2nd half. We tried to match up with them but they were more talented at the 2, 3, and 4 with Ellis George and miles. Horf got dominated by turner too.

If we get rid of Teague. ..our only creator will be Dennis. I'm having 2nd thoughts:merchant:
Turner did his Thang. Al v. Towns and Turner has been a letter down. It seems like we lost our confidence with these rumors. Good thing is Jeff is looking like Jeff again.

Something is missing with this group. It's like there just missing something, I don't know what it is.
Maybe we need to just give Teague the green light. I can't stand when we eat clock and then give it to bazemore or sefolosha to create something.

Man I remember when Teague, b Jennings, and Monta Ellis were free agents but we balked at Ellis. I don't regret keeping Teague but damn Ellis has such a good feel for the game, he really showed out tonight

Come on guy. Hall of famers don't grow on trees.

I never said that. I was pointing out that the Spurs system is part of the success, but they have had plenty of good talent over the years. Talent wins in the NBA, not systems. Bud is arrogant as a GM, and doesn't seem to have the need to try and acquire and stockpile talent. NOT hall of famers, just talent. He passed on Oubre, Portis, and whoever else was available in free agency for scrubs like Tim Hardaway, Justin Holiday and Tiago Splitter

I feel what your saying, but we were on the cusp last yr. Had we been rebuilding I'm sure a guy like oubre would have stuck. None of the guys, where we were picking, would have pushed us past the cavs.

THJR and splitter are good rotation guys IF our stars kept up their allstar play. Also Millsap would probably have signed elsewhere had we not made those additions. He mentioned they factored into his decision.

Personally I would've loved to get some young guys because I follow the draft every yr and it's been painful watching us take guys like payne. hell I wanted Draymond over John jenkins:scust:

At some point this has to be discussed. I just think Bud is arrogant overall...I thought his decision to bench the starters in the second half of last season was some of the worst coaching I've ever seen. The team looked mediocre down the stretch and never could quite turn it back on. I never understood that decision. Last year's offseason didn't make this team any better and now as we see this team has regressed.

@Hollywood Co you right and it's an understated point. Ferry not being on this team anymore is a glaring problem, the talent isn't here to contend
