Yikes. This has to be the spiritual death of the play-in race.

Time to give up that pipe dream tbh.

It's been time.

I've said this all year and it needs to be said again, we need to learn to guard the 3 point line and shoot the 3 point shot. We need shooters man. In a bad way.

The worst part of this loss is Paolo ending up with only 27 points when he was really hot in the first quarter with 15. Sometimes I think coach need to learn to pivot with whatever he's doing and just let the hot hand ride.

Any star got it going like that they're playing the entire quarter.... But not mose, he's like a robot with his sub patterns... Should've been a 40 ball game for paolo but this is nothing new... Plenty of times where Franz had it going only to sub him out

Nice loss. Thanks Spurs.

We have had some clutch tank losses. Almost too clutch

3rd worst team in the league sets franchise 3pt record in a blowout. Great job WeHam!

This.. isn't really a thing though. He had the most attempts in the game (21) and 5 free throws as well. That's plenty of usage. You can't look at a hot start and go "15x4... Paolo should end with 60!" Teams adjust. They don't want that to happen. And coaches certainly aren't going to play a guy an entire half like you mentioned

There have been frustrating times though like when Franz was hot one game and Cole just took the ball out of his hands for 10 straight possessions.

He played the entire first quarter.

Off the top of my head, that's one of the few instances where any starter period has played the entire first quarter.

Franchise record 3s for the Spurs. Funny thing is I bet it tore Pop up playing the “bomb threes” game.

Crap, I feel like this is another WIN. What happened to us having a tough schedule down the stretch? lol

Yep we got that W

He had 15 in the first quarter and then sat until the 4:41 mark of the 2nd quarter. The opposing coach couldn't ice a player any better

Nice loss. Thanks Spurs.

I don't know how you guys can feel good about any of this. It's like I just feel it in the pit of my stomach, that something is incredibly wrong with this team and yet you guys think an additional draft pick is going to fix it. It's not. There is something internally that's just not working and have not been working for a while. Another round of rookies on this team will not fix this team.

Klay had 33 at half yesterday and ended with 38.

Do you think Steve Kerr told Steph to play ballhog and never pass to Klay or did the other team adjust? Hmm

Maybe eyeballing those sneaky Pacers hahaha
