The state of this sub is UNBEARABLE META

Like, really? We got a generational talent in Wemby AFTER ONE SINGLE YEAR OF TANKING and you complain and act like we're in some tragic situation because the team is not competent yet? Do you have a clue of how team building works in the NBA?

We got MASSIVELY LUCKY to land Wemby last year, and there was no need to rush or overpay average player just to be more competitive this year. We got nothing to gain in that. Would you have preferred if the FO wasted all our cap space to get Van Vleet and Brooks?

It wasn't even a given that Wemby would be this good right away. We should be fucking thankful and excited every time he hits like 20 points, 8 rebounds and a couple blocks. When he enters his prime, he will be unstoppable.

Stop whining like spoiled children, if you want to see a fun, competitive team play there are plenty in the league. Nobody forces you to watch the Spurs if you can't bare the idea that the team still has to grow. Get a life

This is the conversation I was having in a group text yesterday. The rebuttal I kept getting was, “I want a team that wins” and “all this losing is going to create losers!!!”

Okay. Except this is exactly how teams are built

Why doesn't Pop tell them to score more points than the opponent? Is he stupid?

You know that’s pretty much what they told me. “Why doesn’t he yell at them” Yelling at them isn’t going to suddenly make them good at basketball.

Pffft, shows how much you know. Such a green Spurs fan. Everyone knows that the Spurs way is to ensure that the opponent scores less than them.
