thx for the grades ... just a great game to watch

We lose this game by 15 last year. This team is far better than last.

This is why you don't want to go into tank mode -- only tank if you're forced. Otherwise, battle, and let your young players learn how to win down the stretch of games like this. Way more important than a very low shot of a top lottery pick.

When Houston Rockets general manager Rafael Stone explained last week why he prioritized a bundle of first-round picks and not a current All-NBA player like Ben Simmons in a James Harden trade, he said it was because, "In the NBA, picks -- especially high picks -- are the best currency." Those...

Not surprised. Chris Paul can't fix that trash roster. Booker isn't a winner and never will be.

And at this point it's stupid anyway. Unless you were on that first wave of GameStop, there's no amount of risk that makes it worth it at this point. What are you going to put in $10,000 for the chance of maybe doubling it? Like that's going to drastically change your life?

This is a bad take.

Portland is for sure going to fall out of that picture. I'm surprised by the Suns after they started hot.

If Denver can keep Porter Jr healthy then something like Harris + filler + 2021 1st for DDR could be useful for them, however I doubt the Spurs do it if they're still with a chance to make the playoffs come the trade deadline.

I'm still hoping some teams are looking at DeRozan and/or LMA as "bargain stars" in that same vein. If a team like Denver is willing to offer some legit value for DMDR, I hope PATFO recognizes the opportunity and goes for it.

He continues to show off moves here and there that give a glimpse at what could be. I thought his crossover tonight was a nice countermove to the defense. I've seen him euro step to change directions, but I don't recall him crossing up anyone before.

Yup, I like how his night ended, especially after he was starting to get that "take over the game" smile in the 3rd

That's a mark of a young team, where the vets generally cannot win games on their own. People bitch about this win against Boston, or whatever other victory, but learning how to win these games is paramount. As a note, the Spurs have already faced the LAL three times, which is significant. They...

...the official "who gives a shit" thread of the day

Trading away a ton of future picks for a 2nd/3rd star is very much needed in order to be able to contend now. When everyone else is doing it but you're not ( Phi, Bos, Den ), then you're at a significant disadvantage.

rofl the "out of nowhere" insult goods from pussyface per par etc

Idk if it’s exactly 15 teams it might be, but I was listening to a podcast and they were talking about if Bradley Beal was to demand a trade not many contending teams could make an offer for him because most of the playoff teams have traded away all their future picks

rofl

And that's with the Spurs having an abysmal 5-4 record against losing teams. That is the worst record of any winning team. Every team currently above SA in the conference have won at least four more games than they've lost against the worst teams in the league. If SA had won even just the Rockets...

I don't see anyone in the division competing for a championship soon. Most aligned is Dallas, but they are closer to treadmill danger, with a budding superstar winning a lot of games but not enough support to push forward. Rockets will go down to the basement soon. Memphis seems like a nice team...

Somehow someway despite the jeckyl Hyde season the Spurs are winning the division after this Boston win

He flashed a DeMar fadeaway hop step like five games ago. It was very mechanical though. He gets that down, we have a star.

Once his skill level matches up to his competitiveness, it's game over for the league.

Then great gamble then with the steal.. Alright Murray :lol

Nah. The Spurs had one to give.
