Austin Toros Info

[John B]

Missed it but they showed Luka sitting on bench holding his arm/shoulder in pain.
Yup his pussy was hurting... Luka needs to stop pouting and just man up.

[Blackhaus]

Luka looks Hottible! Sheesh

[mo7888]

Take Woodard out and they go on a run...it was predictable

[ace3g]

All wing-span Devin Robinson with another dunk...

[BillMc]

Luka has this great vertical but never seems to use it.

[ace3g]

Luka 3

[ace3g]

Luka has this great vertical but never seems to use it.

Didn't like that push / pop a shot from like 3 inches from the basket..

[ace3g]

Jones with a nice lefty layup

I don’t think I’ve ever seen a game where there has been so many illegal screen calls.

[ace3g]

Luka got the and 1 and Spurs only down 1 now.

[ace3g]

Perrantes with the double knee pads - reminds me of Beli and not in the good way

Luka with another and 1

[ace3g]

lane violation, lol

[ace3g]

Luka with another and 1 chance

[PhantomDashCam]

Sham going HAM. Great 4th for him. Way to stay in the game.

Luka with a nice 4th after a meh 3 quarters

[exstatic]

Man, it’s going to look like Samanic had a decent game, but he only had a decent quarter and a half.

[John B]

Going for his 4th? straight double-doubles?

[BillMc]

Luka, he lives on the second floor, yes, I think I've seen him before.

[ace3g]

Luka with a quick decision drive for layup and then gets ball near baseline, right foot pivots and hits jumper

[ace3g]

Tre Jones dagger and 1 layup.

[BillMc]

If big men peak late as they say, a 27 your old Luka could be a real asset.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Man, it’s going to look like Samanic had a decent game, but he only had a decent quarter and a half.

He wasn't good in the first 3 quarters but he really put the team on his shoulders with the game on the line. Credit to him for being able to find a rhythm in a game that looked so off.

[ace3g]

well that was a BS OffFoul...

[BillMc]

I saw everything about Luka good and bad in this game. Talent though is there.

Victory!

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Very entertaining game, although the quality was shocking. Great and gutsy win. With Tre's free throw shooting and his form being good you have to hope he'll develop a decent J. Would give him a long NBA career.

[John B]

Luka with almost triple double, 26pts, 9 rebs and 8 turnovers :lol

How is 8 turnovers for Luka still net him +17? :lol
But I got to give it to him. He wasn't having a good start, but calmed down and finished strong, and probably won them the game. Good game Luka!

Hopefully every game is a learning experience for Luka and he learns in full.

[John B]

He was tough down the stretch though and didn't shy on contact. He needs to be a better defender with better motor. Overall it's a good game

It's more impressive than just that bit of statistical weirdness. +17 Is the highest +/- on the team and they only won by 5; without him, the team was -12 (in 14 minutes). Consider that he was high scorer on the team and was also the most efficient (Points per shot) of those with significant volume of shots. This while going 1 for 7 on threes. He gets that 3 pt shot going... There's a reason the spurs drafted him at 19, over Keldon who was their favorite SF prospect... (who they then got lucky to pick up at 29).

It was a good quarter and a half. He was a drag on the team for the first two and a half quarters. Just terrible.

This is what happens when you boxscore watch. He sucked donkey balls for two and a half quarters.

[Blackhaus]

Yeah he was bad for the majority of the game. And his body language was even worse. I was watching him when he didn’t get the ball and if one of his teammates missed, was terrible.

[mo7888]

22 pts, 15 reb, 4 ast, 2 stl's, 2 blks

So how do we trade for him?

[toki9]

This is what happens when you boxscore watch. He sucked donkey balls for two and a half quarters.

"When asked about his performance in the fourth, Samanic stressed that he needs to be performing in all four quarters."It felt nice,” said Samanic “But it's what happens in the first three quarters because not every night is gonna be one where I can wait till the fourth quarter. It felt nice, but I gotta make sure to bring it in the first three quarters too."

https://news4sanantonio.com/sports/austin-spurs-remain-undefeated-following-win-over-mad-ants

He always talks the talk. He needs to be able to affect the game without the ball in his hands, and he’s failed at that to this point.

[The Truth #6]

Luka, he lives on the second floor, yes, I think I've seen him before.

Not the original, but an interesting cover.

https://youtu.be/CW9Pv0WT2K0

[Dejounte]

Haven't been able to post my notes on the second half because of fucking power outages, but I do have to say it seems like his "hot spot" is from the middle where he posts up and he can do one of the following: drive to the basket, spin move, or just shoot it over his guy. He needs to start plays from there and not beg for the ball out on the perimeter where he is way too predictable. Hope he realizes this for the next game and we see more Luka posessions from mid-range posting up. Kind of like a LaMarcus Aldridge, if you will.

I like that Luka is showing his big men game. He is getting tougher and stronger, finishing with contacts. The only thing missing is his defense and better motor. I’m sure he’ll get there. But can he be a good shot blocker? He doesn’t really have the longest wingspans.

I liked his answer to the question. I missed the game but read through this thread and you guys pointed out what he said. He definitely has to stop letting stuff get to him when stuff isn’t going his way though. He is going to struggle even really getting minutes in the big leagues if this continues

[Russ]

Austin vs. Canton (Ohio) starting right now on ESPNU. Samanic out.

[John B]

Any link on the Austin vs Canton game? Thanks.

[John B]

I got it. It's on ESPNU. Spurs down 33-16. Where's Luka?

[John B]

Wow down by 20

[John B]

Luka sitting with with sprained finger on his right hand

[John B]

Was down 25 pts, Tre leading the come back, only behind 12 pts now.

[John B]

Keldon's brother Kaleb with Austin?

[John B]

Only down 8pts, Kelly with 8pts 7 rebs in the half

[BackHome]

He always talks the talk. He needs to be able to affect the game without the ball in his hands, and he’s failed at that to this point.

He just turned 21 give him time everyone knows bigs take longer to develop

[ismael-robert]

Yeah he may be average years 3-4 then blow up in year 5/6 like Wood and Anderson. So people rushing may not see prime till year 6

[ace3g]

https://pbs.twimg.com/media/EuhOEOFXAAIHse5?format=jpg&name=large

Available non Spurs roster players that I like: Renfro, Kenny Williams, Cam Reynolds.

[John B]

Any links please. Thanks.

[Big Empty]

Watchn Austin Spurs vs vipers. Tre Jones looks good! We have a great problem in our hands!

[exstatic]

Any links please. Thanks.

Search youtube for the Spurs vs RGV live feed. There’s bound to be one. That’s how i found the last one.

[Dejounte]

Mathis is the Patty Mills of this ball club. Just keeps chucking away

[John B]

Search youtube for the Spurs vs RGV live feed. There’s bound to be one. That’s how i found the last one.

Trying. All I've been getting are old ones :cry.

[Dejounte]

I wonder if the Spurs saw ahead and signed Kylor because he is a Poetl archetype and they wanted to see how Luka would flourish with Poetl but without actually playing with Poetl.

Seems Luka is more effective as the C and without Kylor on the floor with him.

I like Renfro's form and release. It's just not going in for him.

[Dejounte]

[Dejounte]

Very nice post move by Luka. He's using his body better on post moves.

[Dejounte]

Jones and Luka turning it up in the 4th...

[JRicardo]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7bEHDZA_41A

[Dejounte]

Luka scores more when he's playing with a quick rim rolling big who shoots...because most of his (effective) moves come from midrange to inside.

However, the overall team defense is better when he's playing with an interior-only Center.

So, I guess Luka's future with the main team will vary between PF and C and is matchup dependent.

That's assuming he doesn't develop more perimeter skills. Right now his post moves >> perimeter moves.

[John B]

Nice spin on Samanic. He's really developing those postup good

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

The Vipers early was killing from three but they’ve slowed down. On offense the only guy that’s showed up has been Luka.

I will say though, for him to be a stretch 4 his percentages haven’t been good at all in any level. I liked that he is posting up aggressively though

[ace3g]

Luka spin move away from baseline into paint, draws foul

[ace3g]

Woodard steal and slam!!!

A little tweak in his technique and I think the efficiency will rise. It's not even a matter of strength anymore for Luka, he's improved on that from last year.

You aren’t lying one bit on your assessment. I will say the defense doesn’t turn completely to crap when he is the 5 but it is better when he is at the 4 for this team.

His 3 point shooting hasn’t been good at all and that was supposedly one of the things that draft experts said he would build on because of his form. I know a few draft folks did point out what I said about his 3 point shooting with the fact that even in Europe he wasn’t that good shooting 3’s at any level he played.

[John B]

that was too easy on Samanic

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

That zone is confusing the hell out of Austin. They did decent early in the game when Luka flashed to the free throw line and the defense collapsed on him. He made solid decisions from there.

great block by Woodard!!!!

[ace3g]

Tre hits the FT: 104-101

It wouldn't be Spurs basketball if he didn't miss that :lol:lol

I agree, his 3 pt shooting hasn't been good. But I don't mind it much, I don't want him to become over-reliant on 3s and I sure don't want to see him turn into a 3 pt specialist because he's good at it. I do have to say the fact that there's room to improve AND Luka is finding other ways to score shows his excellent versatility.

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

A little tweak in his technique and I think the efficiency will rise. It's not even a matter of strength anymore for Luka, he's improved on that from last year.

He has improved his strength for sure but I think he still needs to get a little stronger. Doesn’t need to get too much bigger because it might hurt his quickness but maybe a bit more muscle.

yeah, maybe tweak his shot a little bit or work with him on his deep shot selection

[D-Robinson 50 fan]

Woodard came up big on defense at the end and Luka came up big on offense.

He's been consistent with double doubles, dominating each game with array of moves, inside and outside, plus rebounding. And playing high minutes. He's getting there.... keep working Luka, rebounding, defense and motor should get you minutes to the big club

[BillMc]

Missed the game, so would love your thoughts. Highlights showed Luka with some nice moves. How was his defense? Attitude?

He's got nice footwork and size. There's some good potential there. Reserved but getting more excited about this prospect.

[SpursDynasty85]

It's good he's getting reps. hopefully he learns to become more efficient and sets his teammates up well.

offensively he was a big reason the team came back. He again came up big in the 4th quarter on that side of the ball but he did it posting up players and being aggressive.

he is doing way better boxing out for rebounds and has been getting more contested boards which is also good. He seems a bit more alert on off ball defense and he didn’t foul as much this game. He got beat by some smaller guys a couple of times off the dribble but he wasn’t totally blown by at any time I seen him getting switched on guards and wing players.

overall he was good but definitely can get better. Especially on helping hard on defense when he does help, knowing when to help defensively, not over helping on defense, finishing through contact and at the rim on offense, moving without the ball, and overall shot selection.

Saw a bit of the game. At time not just this game, Luka looks unstaoppable! His Spin move around the paint, like he easily getting pasted his defenders with. Its a scarly thought as he's still developing and figuring everything out.

[John B]

He was spoonfed the whole game so we didn't have an opportunity to see if he would act like a baby again.

But those spin moves with his back on the basket is really good. And he has complete control of the ball, his footwork, looks so good.

[Dejounte]

The Austin Spurs is for SAN ANTONIO SUPRS DEVELOPMENT FIRST and wins second. If they agreed to bring Woodard on to the team because of some rule or agreement made prior to the Gubble scheme, it doesn't mean Woodard or ANYBODY NOT UNDER CONTRACT TO THE SPURS is supposed to get "spoonfed".


You RIDE OR DIE with SPURS CONTRACT PLAYERS FIRST and LAST (unless they have fouled out, have become injured, or died on the court)


When Luka, Tre, Quandary, Keldon, White, Dejounte.....ect to DANNY FUCKING GREEN are on the Austin SPURS(Toros), the coaching staff is told this and knows this pecking order of WHO GETS THE REPS!!!!


Furthermore, the idea of you or any of this so-called "fan base" would call a guy being competitive "being a baby" that here to for was getting ragged on for NOT BEING COMPETITIVE is BEYOND PONDEROUS bordering on TROLLING.


You're right, Drew. I'm trolling ;)

Nah, man. I'm 100% rooting for Luka.


And you're right, his "eagerness" for the ball is a welcome change from what we're accustomed to since DJ was drafted....

And DJ is actually a good comparison to what we're seeing with Luka. That ego we're seeing will transform into something beneficial for the Spurs. Luka wants it.

I guess it speaks more about my fears than it speaks for Luka's behavior ... I've been scarred by Nephew's actions and want guys who have A+ personalities.

Interesting stats. Thanks.

[Sugus]

Damn, I was doubting whether Luka would step up in the Gubble, but it looks like he's pretty solidly dominating every single game he's been taking part in. Of course, it doesn't mean it'll translate to the next level, but it's a really encouraging sign. The highlights looked good tonight as well, though they hardly tell the whole story anyways.

When's the Gubble supposed to end? Is there a chance we get to see Luka with the main squad this season, considering he probably won't come "up" until the GL games are over?

The Gubble is 15 games over 25 days, plus an eight team single elimination tournament, which it looks like the Spurs will be in. The 15 games is over March 6th, and an eight team tournament could be over in 5 days, even with a day off between rounds. Tre and Luka can be back for basically the whole second half.

[ginobilized]

Tre Jones 9.8 assists/game is pretty eye-popping!

They are both doing exactly what they are supposed to do, which is no surprise really. Spurs take development very seriously and are always playing the long game.

[John B]

https://twitter.com/TheTyJager/status/1362501657465126919?s=19
Very nice analysis. I like it. Although it's a much shorter league than the usual 50, and could affect -/+ the average. Still it's what we are hoping that Luka and Tre would do, to dominate in their respected position. Very promising.

They probably tested positive for COVID and rather than wait for them, they released them since g league is only a month

[K...]

maybe not covid, maybe it's just all the players in one area so easy to swap around. Like I'm, sure Galen is someone they like more than pope and i'm sure players have seen that the team is basically a luka hype vehicle and know the spurs can't do any call ups this year. Less upside to being in the austin spurs this year even if the team is balling.

I haven’t heard anything about ANY positive tests in the Gubble. If they were positive, Austin wouldn’t be playing, they’d be in health and safety protocols. There is just a pool of players there to upgrade from who have cleared quarantine. Our latest pickup played with Austin last year, so he knows the system.

Tough game for Luka, But came big at the end with the big 3s. i think ut was still a solid game, there still alot to develop and grow. Which is the scary part.

Would kill me inside if Renfro turns out to be the next JaMychal Green. Not in terms of the player, but in terms of what happened.

It was a different time then. I think the Spurs offered him a spot, he just realized that he would NEVER play on a Big Three era team. I don’t think Renfro would have those constraints. I think he could play minutes next year if he develops a jumper.

[Mr. Body]

I haven't been able to see many of these, but this was on NBATV.

Luka and Jones both have nice baskets of skills, will need more work.

Samanic ran against a guy in Brazdeikis who is stronger and able to disrupt him. Samanic is predictable on offense. He even seems to decide each play what he's going to do -- like go left -- and he'll do it no matter what. He has great form on his shot and can get it off whenever he wants, but there's something wrong with why it doesn't drop more often. An issue may be that he does the same with his drives -- decide beforehand that he's going to shoot -- and launches it without being in the rhythm of the offense. He did hit two important ones after scraping the front rim right before. He's not going to get so many tries on the big team. He's too easily dispossessed when dribbling or down low.

Defense, he went for about three steals that got him out of position, which isn't good, and he doesn't seem to be a rim protecting threat, but he does alright with rebounds. He's really fluid as a horizontal athlete, though. His post-up game reminds me of Rik Smits, actually, although clearly they are very different otherwise. Below the rim game dependant on footwork and length.

Jones has a ton of great aspects. He sees the floor very, very well for his age, great PG skills, and he's a good enough ballhandler to get anywhere he wants at this level -- although he does naturally carry the ball in his dribble motion, which he may get called on. So rare to find a pure point guard like him at that pick. Deceptively athletic, a nice defender, can control and handle a team's offense to get guys their shots. Seems adept at what Steve Nash did a lot, dribble the baseline through the lane to pull bigger defenders. He is a treat to pick up steals, but doesn't get out of position like Samanic does.

He needs a shot, clearly. Once he can knock down jumpers, and I expect he should on this franchise, he's a really nice guy to bring off the bench. Like his brother, a spot starter and someone you have no problem sticking in there full time if you have to. This game depended on a handful of players, but it was Jones that sealed the deal. A great competitor.

Yeah, he's really talented. Really provocative to think how he develops going forward and faces the adversity of not having things teed up for him in the NBA.

Regarding Luka:

You'd rather rein someone in than try to motivate them to do something. I like Luka's laser focus on having something in his mind and executing it rather than the opposite-- indecisiveness. IMO, it's the decisions (read and react) he makes that he needs to improve, and I think that will come in time.

I don't think it's a bad thing, but do think it makes him easier to read as a defender. It's a step toward haing a more natural, organic feel for offensive sets.

[Dejounte]

IMO, Luka has that Murray trajectory, not just mentally but as far as skills. Murray didn't look like a point guard for a long time, he was a tragic turnover machine, and had no vision. Then all of a sudden, everything clicked. In the same way, Luka doesn't look like he can put it all together as a stretch big, right now looks like a tragic soft baby, and doesn't know to pass out of really bad situations. It's like static electricity with these two and you're trying to harness that into a bolt of lightning.

Then the Spurs will say, "Boom mothafucka!"

RENFRO WITH TWO STRAIGHT BEAUTIFUL DRIVES

RENFRO IS THE ATHLETIC FORWARD WE NEED

Yep I got hooked on him as soon as i watched his interview and then looked at his old playing tape

He's also a scholar.


https://youtu.be/bQ069IiW9P0

He's perfect.

[BillMc]

Tre looks like a real steal for a second round pick.

Man our guard situation makes my head spin....:spin DJ, White, Mills, Lonnie, Devin, Q, Tre....where do you find minutes for all of them?

Great problem to have.

[BillMc]

Great problem to have.

Yep. Not complaining. But it's interesting to see how it'll work out.

[Mr. Body]

Well, it's a guard league right now. You can play 3 guards at a time, with Vessell and Johnson being more wings, Murray, White being more PGs, and Jones being a pure PG.

[GAustex]

Poor Q

[John B]

Yep. Not complaining. But it's interesting to see how it'll work out.
Great problem in this guard dominated league. The Bad Boys era had the same with their 3 guards and was blowing everybody.

Poor Q

Where does that leave Lonnie?

[Mr. Body]

Where does that leave Lonnie?

Lonnie is a pure shooting guard.

[John B]

https://twitter.com/spurs/status/1363332146652319744
Tre has that swagger, always smiling Cool-Hand-Luke attitude who will find ways to beat you. Once he starts hitting his outside shots, watch out.

[John B]

Lonnie is a pure shooting guard.
Lonnie reminds me of Antonio Daniels, very athletic but quite inconsistent. He will dazzle you with his dunks, if only he could do it every night.

[BackHome]

I really like Nate he is 6'8 super athletic and as I have said several times he is 100% Spurs material - Smart - High Ball IQ - Great Character - Very Motivated - Hard Worker. His interviews give off a David and Timmy vibe I can see Pop getting attached to this kid real quick he will be a joy to coach.

I am glad he has been able to shine it sucks for a lot of these players on Spurs team that were not drafted because all the minutes and focus is on Luka, Tre, Cam, and Woodard . As fat as Nate I think he can play SF or PF it just depends on what want from him but the dude is super athletic and is definitely geared for the run and gun of the future.

Dejuante can you post - Nate Renfro Scouting Report from 2019?

[Mr. Body]

Good comparison.

I will say that in today's NBA you can definitely run a shooting guard as a wing, especially if you get rebound production from other guards, like Murray.

He didn't do himself any favors not being ready to play when he had the chance.

I liked Q at the Bubble, a bullish big guard, a pleasant relief after our athletic guards. But Tre is looking more like Patty’s replacement.

Yes. I meant more in terms of minutes and the rotation.

I’m also rooting for this guy. I think he’s more like 6’9 with 7 ft wingspan, very athletic, prides himself on his defense. I think he leads the G-League in block category? I can see Pop getting excited with this kid.

[emanueldavidginobili]

Man i'm loving Tre, this kid is going to have a really solid career in the NBA I think.

[Seventyniner]

https://twitter.com/spurs/status/1363332146652319744

Reminds me of that breakaway dunk Danny Green had late in game 1 of the 2014 Finals. I thought he was just going to lay it up and then BOOM.

[LCM]

Could Renfro's ceiling be the next evolution of Bowen? He's way more athletic than Bruce, has a better offensive game than Bruce, too. He does all the little things! Good screens, hand offs, rolls well, finishes, 3pt shot which is good but can improve. Runs the break, doesn't hesitate in his defensive responsibilities, weak side help, steals, blocking, and looks like he enjoys busting his ass to shut the other team down!

He doesn't have to have the ball in his hands to effect the outcome of a game! His effort is through the roof, but it isn't sporadic or out of control. There are two videos of almost two minute highlights of Renfro and all the plays he made in a two game span, and he only scored 4 points in the two games! If I'm Q or KBD, I'm worried I'm going to get a call and be released when the G League Bubble is over! That Atlanta 4th quarter doesn't happen with players like Jones and Renfro on the floor!

[Mr. Body]

Yes. I meant more in terms of minutes and the rotation.

Comes off the bench, same as now.

That's my guess. Taking them out of the bubble makes little sense otherwise imo. Unless maybe they think it's time for big league minutes, but the rotation has been pretty tight already, and Gay/Mills are still on the roster.

[Mr. Body]

Clearly they're going to assign Vassell.

[cd021]

Clearly they're going to assign Vassell.
Wouldn't that be hard to do with quarantining? They're already through half of the Gubble.

Well, damn. The Austin game tonight is going to be no fun to watch outside of Renfro.

[exstatic]

I think Austin will roll with who they have, plus maybe two pool pickups from here out. There’s no time to get Sammich or Tre back in, or get Vassell in.

[CGD]

How’s the OSU kid doing? Kelly? He was a block machine in college right?

[exstatic]

Well, damn. The Austin game tonight is going to be no fun to watch outside of Renfro.

I like Kenny Williams at guard, and both Cam and Mathis are quality shooters. I guess Woodard becomes the featured player now.

[exstatic]

How’s the OSU kid doing? Kelly? He was a block machine in college right?

Not great. He gets abused on switches, and is playing sparingly, although he starts.

[Dejounte]

How’s the OSU kid doing? Kelly? He was a block machine in college right?

Being exposed on defense since most g league teams are playing small and they're having their way with him. He could he a decent anchor big someday, will take a couple years similar to Eubanks.

[Dejounte]

Yeah, they're good but only g-league good. I try to take note of players with NBA potential. Cam maybe has a chance though.

Hmmmm

And Luka and Tre have been playing so well and getting the playing time, granted it’s G-League. But I would have wanted them to play the remaining games and continue with their development, not unless they get significsnt burn with the big team, which I doubt it.

[John B]

How’s the OSU kid doing? Kelly? He was a block machine in college right?
I was so disappointed with Kelly. I was rooting for him, but he lacks the motor, the aggression. Plays barely go through him, and he never rolls hard after the pick. He doesn’t really call his number on offense. I thought he has some moves but rarely puts them on display. He’s not really the swat machine I thought, unlike Renfro who’s always looking to swat the ball. Very underwhelming imo.

4 players tested positive, these 4 aren't coming back soon. Hope the Spurs suit up and I want to see if these two can showup against the big boys.

[XDT76]

They might get some time depending when the Spurs starts playing. We have 16 players including the 2-way players. With 4 out we are left with 12, if LMA is still out due injuries and DDR is away to be with his family, without Tre and Luka we are down to exactly 8 players.

[B1gduff]

I'm assuming it more likely that we just need Luka and Tre since we've got players out.

[Dejounte]

https://twitter.com/PaulGarciaNBA/status/1363565454250233856?s=19

Confirmed

[Dejounte]

Renfro's passing skill is underrated. The dude just finds people.

[B1gduff]

Anyone got a stream or youtube link?

[Dejounte]

Man, fuck these point guards. Renfro would have had five alley oops by now with a competent guard.

[BackHome]

That is why I really like White and Tre they can really help players use all there skill sets Back Door Dunks, Easy Catch and Dunk, etc..

RENFRO WITH TWO MANLY OFFENSIVE REBOUNDS IN A ROW

[Dejounte]

Bullshit ass call in favor of Paul Reed

[BackHome]

Lol every time i click on this game it goes to a game between Iraq and India..lol

[Dejounte]

Fuck these refs. Just made this game from 10% enjoyable to 0% by calling bullshit calls on Renfro.

[Dejounte]

Two straight insane defensive plays by Renfro

[GAustex]

32 can shoot

[Dejounte]

Renfro understands spacing - he doesn't unnecessarily chase a rebound when he has a teammate already in that area

He also sets smart screens

This kid knows basketball.

[Ice009]

4 players tested positive, these 4 aren't coming back soon. Hope the Spurs suit up and I want to see if these two can showup against the big boys.

Why is it not announced which players have tested positive? What is the big secret? Other teams have had no problem saying when a player has tested positive and is out.

When are the Spurs projected to play their next game?

[Seventyniner]

Why is it not announced which players have tested positive? What is the big secret? Other teams have had no problem saying when a player has tested positive and is out.

Who is this Mathias guy? They just mentioned his now he had 30 points earlier. This is the first Austin Spurs game I've seen. Only just found the stream 5 minutes ago.
