[ace3g]

Hopefully Cleanthony Early plays tonight.

[Truth4sale$]

I would like to see this starting lineup:
Murray at point
White at shooting guard
Cleanthony at small forward
Bertans at power forward
Cory Jefferson at center
This gives us some size and shooting, and some leadership and familiarity with Bertans, Murray and Jefferson all playing in the dleague together at some point. Build off the chemistry, and get a good look at some promising prospects.

[cd98]

Is Hayward playing for the Celtics tonight?

[TheDoctor]

:lol

[jermaine]

Murray will show why he's been posting all those "Im on my grind" videos on IG! Lol

[Chinook]

Livio should start in place of Whittington. Boston was running Tatum at the five in the game on Monday. Dude deserves a longer look and a harder defensive assignment. Blossomgame needs to start again for a similar reason. He has to cut his teeth on D if he's to have any chance. Don't really care about Forbes versus White. You can make an argument for both, and even Hanlan.

[picnroll]

Jaylen Brown was killing it against the 76ers. Whoever matches up against him good luck.

Agree for Livio, but i prefer to see more White than both Forbes and Hanlan.

[Chinook]

Agree for Livio, but i prefer to see more White than both Forbes and Hanlan.

He's a more interesting prospect if not an outright better player than those guys, but he's also someone who's currently projected to be the bench play-maker. So having him in that role wouldn't be bad. And it could be like Simmons was for the Spurs SL team in 2015.

Ok i understand i'm ok with that. Hope to see Jefferson too the only big who seems interesting in this summer league.

[BillMc]

Anyone know why Hanga is not playing in the summer league? Is he coming over or what? Thx

[raybies]

It's been super quiet on all Spurs fronts. All the Euros, no word...

[Chinook]

Ok i understand i'm ok with that. Hope to see Jefferson too the only big who seems interesting in this summer league.

I didn't like him last game. He did exactly was I was concerned Early would do: He took bad shot after bad shot selfishly trying to boost his numbers. He looked better than Fecesington. But he wasn't the type of big I wanted to see Murray, White and Forbes play off. Hopefully Cady is better at that when he plays.

I know. His godawful chucks from three early in the shotclock and not in the flow of the offense.

Yes that's my worry he shoots too much, he needs to play more inside. Agree that we need more of a rim protector.

[raybies]

he might have a chance in the NBA if he just focused on being a finishing big that bring a spark off the bench. It's just he know haw to dominate the DLeague but not the NBA. It doesn't translate.

[Chinook]

I don't mind him shooting. I mind him breaking off motion sets to take an out-of-rhythm three early in the clock.

[Taking it to the Hole]

I really want to see more from Blossomgame. The last game, I don't know if it was nerves but he seemed hesitant and was not aggressive at all. White was interesting last game but I think his lateral movement on defense is concerning. I expected to see just more burst from him but he doesn't change gears really well which is concerning for a point guard.

[Russ]

Is Hayward playing for the Celtics tonight?

I'm sure they'd give him a standing O at that gym in Salt Lake City.

[tonight...you]

I'm sure they'd give him a standing O at that gym in Salt Lake City.
If they did... they would be the greatest fans in the league right now.
Like any SA fan is going to cheer LMA, even still on the team!

[cd98]

I'm sure they'd give him a standing O at that gym in Salt Lake City.

Would be epic troll move for him to come and sit with his new teammates. But I'm pretty sure Jazz fans would not let him out alive. Can't wait until Boston/Jazz game.

Me either. I would rather see more of Benitl if that's how they are going to play.

[DPG21920]

Ultimately, while Im excited to watch all of them, Murray is the only one I care about. He has to be a rotation player this year.

[tonight...you]

White could be getting minutes over pan-flash with his more mistake-free and heady play...
This kid bears attention. He's a guy Pop could trust. A dude who, while not an Earth-burner, makes less mistakes and you know Pop's thing:
The team that makes less mistakes, wins.

[BatManu20]

Here we go

[BatManu20]

Murray with a nice drive and then misses the bunny

[TheGreatYacht]

Parker has to teach Murray how to finish smh

[tonight...you]

Hope to see Murray keep passing and show he's not injured.
Hope to see White keep his heady and veteran play.

Hope to see Blossom Blossom.

Good luck to the good guys,

[BatManu20]

Blossomgame with the 3

[Chinook]

They're trying size on Murray. It's not working so far.

[DPG21920]

Murray gets to where he wants to go but he's just not doing anything with that skill at the moment.

[LakerHater]

Wish Hardy not told Murray to look to pass first!!
He's turning the ball ovr like crazy!

[wildbill2u]

This is starting out as painful to watch, jus like the last game.

[r0drig0lac]

White in

[Snaq O'Meal]

Wish Hardy not told Murray to look to pass first!!
He's turning the ball ovr like crazy!

Hardy sure ain't no Becky when it comes to getting the best out of the players.

[sasaint]

Forbes showing the shooting skill.

[ace3g]

LJC with the nice block!!!

[Robz4000]

Forbes can star against scrubs, but he can't bring it against NBA competition.

[LakerHater]

Double dribble before goal tend

[Robz4000]

Just can't get excited about anyone on this roster right now with Murray and Bertans underwhelming.

[Chinook]

Forbes can star against scrubs, but he can't bring it against NBA competition.

As a UDFA rookie, he wasn't expected to. I think he's a favorite to make the 15 if the team doesn't use both exceptions this summer.

[ace3g]

I don't want Forbes on the roster, not that I don't like him, just we have enough players his size.

[Snaq O'Meal]

Forbes can star against scrubs, but he can't bring it against NBA competition.

Low risk, potentially high reward player. If he turns out to be Steph-lite, RC can say "see, I told you so."

[tonight...you]

Murray gets to where he wants to go but he's just not doing anything with that skill at the moment.
That's his big skill: he can go wherever he wants, but what he does when he gets there is the problem.

It's a chicken/egg problem, but you know the eggs have been laid and are they going to hatch correctly?

He's always going to bring that uncertainty until he stops bringing that uncertainty.

This is why, although I think Murray has the potential to be a Star, that White may be getting minutes over him by the end of the season and in the playoffs.

[Chinook]

Livio showing negative awareness on D.

[TheGreatYacht]

Paying Fatty Mills $50,000,000 at 12:01am when we have Bryn Forbes :lmao

[GSH]

Funny what a difference it makes when shots are falling.

[wildbill2u]

Livio just missed a cut off angle so badly. No bb IQ at all?





















q

[TheGreatYacht]

We traded Diaw for this Hamlan scrub? Disgusting

[Robz4000]

As a UDFA rookie, he wasn't expected to. I think he's a favorite to make the 15 if the team doesn't use both exceptions this summer.

I think he's a shoe-in myself provided he isn't traded/cut to make room for another piece; PATFO really seem to like him for whatever reason. Rooting for him to make a jump, but I'm not gonna give my hopes up.

[Chinook]

Livi-no. Hanlan fucked up that post pass, though.

[Robz4000]

LJC looks worse than last year in SL if that's even possible.

[ducks]

bertans has 2 rebounds wtf

[Chinook]

LJC looks worse than last year in SL if that's even possible.

Dude keeps trying to post up, even though he has zero skill :lol.

[LakerHater]

I don't want Forbes on the roster, not that I don't like him, just we have enough players his size.

[Chinook]

Cady just rode up.

[ace3g]

LaLane with a nice strong move in the paint.

[LakerHater]

Wtf Jefferson

[Robz4000]

:lmao that miss

[Chinook]

Holy shit, a big who can hold onto a ball that hits him in the hands?

[tonight...you]

Like made shots are what makes a team, in the End. You be you TGY. Stupid ass who called Kawhi no better than Matrix...
Sweet Jesus... Sweet fucking Jesus.

[Ron Swanson]

That was embarrassing

:lol

[TheGreatYacht]

Wtf Jefferson
That was Lalane, racist

[wildbill2u]

Murray dribbling with the ball bouncing as high as his shoulders. Kid will get his dribble stripped a lot against good defenders.





















q

[Robz4000]

White's ability to create is better than I expected. Can't see him doing much at the NBA-level though.

[Robz4000]

Murray looks clumsy as fuck out there.

[tonight...you]

Murray dribbling with the ball bouncing as high as his shoulders. Kid will get his dribble stripped a lot against good defenders.


He's been doing that garbage since high school. Either nobody has instructed him to stop that shit, or they have said nothing about it.

I think...

[tonight...you]

White's ability to create is better than I expected. Can't see him doing much at the NBA-level though.
He's deliberate, but he's got game.
I hope...

[picnroll]

Murray.knocked someone over. That must be a first.

[RD2191]

White's ability to create is better than I expected. Can't see him doing much at the NBA-level though.

His 2ND summer league game and he's already a bust? Gotta love ST. :lol

[TheGreatYacht]

These two just collided into one another. Murray survived :wow

Murray taking those shakes.

[rastaspur]

Dejounte's 5 pounds of new muscle has him laying folks out. The new enforcer. :lol

[Robz4000]

Lalanne :tu

[Robz4000]

His 2ND summer league game and he's already a bust? Gotta love ST. :lol

He'd have to have serious potential to be considered a bust. He's a fringe prospect at best imo.

[Chinook]

There we go.

[BatManu20]

Blossomgame is everywhere. Playing well so far

[loveforthegame]

Blossomgame looks much better.

[wildbill2u]

White's form on his jumper looks strained and from too low.--like a guy who learned how to shoot with no natural strength for long shots.

[LakerHater]

That was Lalane, racist

Sure was, my bad.
...racist?

[rastaspur]

Blossom game can already do one thing as good as LMA. Post up a smaller dude

[Robz4000]

Blossomgame too :tu

I said it on draft night, but Blossomgame > White in terms of potential.

[GB20]

His 2ND summer league game and he's already a bust? Gotta love ST. :lol
+1

[Rito3d30]

Both White and Murray are not doing well offensively

[DPG21920]

Gotta love Cady's and Murray's ability to board.

Murray's rebounding is really top notch. Even in college that was a big skill of his. Nice to see it translate. He's like Rondo-lite basically at this point. Hopefully he can be more of a scorer though and as good of a defender

[Robz4000]

Really think Tatum is Tobias Harris 2.0, but his athleticism is real.

[DPG21920]

White does well when he catches off the swing and he's moving. You can see when it's up to him to initiate that he has to rely on craftiness to get a shot off (like a fade away or bump, etc..)

[SAGirl]

I don't want Forbes on the roster, not that I don't like him, just we have enough players his size.

I think Spurs like him a lot, but frankly roster spots are cramped.
We don't even know about Hanga, Milutinov or any bigs that can be added. I am unsure when his deal for the second season becomes guaranteed... maybe after training camp.

[Chinook]

Hardy is like, Forbes on Tatum makes sense.

[BatManu20]

Tatum is gonna be damn good.

[SAGirl]

Funny what a difference it makes when shots are falling.

I told you that two nights ago.. or maybe it was someone else.. sorry too many posts to keep track of.

[tonight...you]

White does well when he catches off the swing and he's moving. You can see when it's up to him to initiate that he has to rely on craftiness to get a shot off (like a fade away or bump, etc..)
Old boy's got tricks and a calm surveillance of the floor.

He could be very good, in the future.

[Robz4000]

Hardy is like, Forbes on Tatum makes sense.

Hardy's schemes are headscratching on both ends.

[picnroll]

Spurs coach defending Tatum with Forbes. Summer League coach of the year.

[sasaint]

Blossomgame is everywhere. Playing well so far


Blossomgame looks much better.

Hit the 3-ball right off the bat to get his confidence up. :tu

[wildbill2u]

Forbes just isn't big enough or fast enough to guard most guards in the NBA level of play. He either fouls or they go past him. I don't see his offense as that great since he's too short for a slow SG. If he were taller he could maybe make it with slow feet.

[TheGreatYacht]

Shittington lol

[Chinook]

Shittington giving Hanlan an assist.

[BatManu20]

Whittington :lol

[LakerHater]

Lol

[sasaint]

No more Whittington! Send him home and let's see Jefferson and Lalanne.

[LakerHater]

Forbes trying to b pretty w the board...losses it!

[TimDunkem]

Shittington is an embarrassment.

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurs coach defending Tatum with Forbes. Summer League coach of the year.
Almost as genius as Fatty Mills on Curry

[Robz4000]

God damn, if they had a Shaqtin'-A-Fool in Summer League the Spurs would cover a segment from this game alone.

[coachmac87]

Tatum is gonna be damn good.

Best player in the draft IMO

[Rito3d30]

Even the cam man was like WTF man

[TheDoctor]

Shittington lol
:lol for realz

[picnroll]

Forbes the new Mills. Everyone shoots over him.

[SAGirl]

Davis good shot! :tu

[sasaint]

Forbes just isn't big enough or fast enough to guard most guards in the NBA level of play. He either fouls or they go past him. I don't see his offense as that great since he's too short for a slow SG. If he were taller he could maybe make it with slow feet.

He looks a lot better this game.

[TheGreatYacht]

Tatum has Paul George potential. Hopefully that horrid Celtics development staff doesn't ruin him

[ace3g]

Are the Spurs saving Cleanthony Early for Vegas?

[SAGirl]

Lallanne looks tired.. maybe a bit out of shape?

[FkLA]

Forbes letting it fly like his future depends on this game.

[picnroll]

Like to see Blossomgame on Tatum.

[SAGirl]

He looks a lot better this game.

He is a good shooter and was bound to bounce back from his bad shooting night two nights ago. question is everything else.

[Chinook]

:lol I thought Young was on a min deal. They gave that chode the room exception.

[GB20]

I really like white's game.

[wildbill2u]

Spurs used to be high on Omri Caspi. He just signed for the minimum (2.1 million) with Golden State.

[sasaint]

Spurs coach defending Tatum with Forbes. Summer League coach of the year.

Might as well give Forbes a challenge. He is fighting to retain his job with the big team.

[picnroll]

Anybody going after Ian Clark?

[TheDoctor]

Almost as genius as Fatty Mills on Curry

No need to go that far tbh

With "Pity on Austin Rivers" you were set :depressed

[sasaint]

He is a good shooter and was bound to bounce back from his bad shooting night two nights ago. question is everything else.

Yeah, so I like seeing him given the challenge of defending Tatum.

[tonight...you]

Are the Spurs saving Cleanthony Early for Vegas?
Nah... they watching him in practice and know he's got a ways to go.
Hopefully we see him in Vegas and if we don't... It ain't because he's dominating in practice.
It's because he sucks and he sucks.

And nothing more than he sucks. And he sucks in practice and he'll suck in games.

He just sucks.




Unless he doesn't suck...

[RD2191]

Great analysis. Should be working for ESPN.

[wildbill2u]

He is a good shooter and was bound to bounce back from his bad shooting night two nights ago. question is everything else.

Do we really need someone at the end of the bench who's specialty niche is to score in garbage time against scrubs to make the score closer? Now that is a niche player.

[tonight...you]

No need to go that far tbh

With "Pity on Austin Rivers" you were set :depressed
Patty going to be backing up White.

[TimDunkem]

Looked promising as a rookie. Guess that's what happens when you get shot in the knee.

[tonight...you]

Great analysis. Should be working for ESPN.
Less pay baby.

[TheGreatYacht]

No need to go that far tbh

With "Pity on Austin Rivers" you were set :depressed
God damn it.

:depressed

[picnroll]

Yeah, so I like seeing him given the challenge of defending Tatum.
Tatum's a SF who'll probably bulk up to a SF, small ball PF. Not a very realistic test for Forbes.

[TimDunkem]

Hitting open looks seems like a hard enough challenge for Forbes. :lol

[SAGirl]

Coach will hardy's play calling.
:lol

[tonight...you]

Hitting open looks seems like a hard enough challenge for Forbes. :lol
Forbes shouldn't even be on the team, honestly.

[south side spur]

Patty going to be backing up White.

White will be taking Murray's minutes as well.

[DPG21920]

Forbes has impressed in the Mills-PG role. Not creating for others, but showing crafty enough handle to get good looks for himself. We know he can shoot spot up, but him being able to create off the dribble would be MASSIVE for him.

White reminds me of Denzel Valentine.

Murray has looked solid enough but man, he really needs to finish. His rebounding and drives have been great. Gets exactly where he wants to go but needs to get to spots and shoot too. Like Forbes does.

White having to guard Brown is tough but he's battling. Brown has been roasting people off the drive this SL so far and is looking good. Tatum is a ridiculous scorer and already looking really efficient too. Nothing anyone can do to stop him although I would like to see Murray try.

[sasaint]

White will be taking Murray's minutes as well.

It is so confusing that the Spurs chose PGs in consecutive drafts. I see White as a PG who can shoot. Murray may end up as a combo for most of his career. Although it is doubtful that they both remain after their rookie deals, it would make for an interesting backcourt duo.

[tonight...you]

White will be taking Murray's minutes as well.
Good. Murray is still out of control and just playing completely in-the-moment, but his in-the-moment decisions aren't great.

White plays a heady game and makes less mistakes. His shooting is already superior and he places passes more in the plan, if that makes sense.

Murray could be a real, cray cray talent, but he needs to bring floor-conciousness into the fold of his thought-process and all he's doing is just instinctual.

[TimDunkem]

Forbes shouldn't even be on the team, honestly.
He's their current charity case, tbh. Just doing him a favor keeping him around.

[SAGirl]

Dijon had Bertans open in a corner but passing to the guy in the paint...
anyways, Whittington so bad.

Thanks for posting, friend. :toast Man Dijon and Derrick a combined 0/12 in the first half. :wow

[picnroll]

God I hate that Murray floater.

[SAGirl]

forbes definitely on FIRE!

[Chinook]

Jaron's blossoming in front of our very eyes.

[r0drig0lac]

blossom!!!

[sasaint]

Blossomgame!

Not good.
Dijon also has been forcing things a bit. Derrick switched spots with Forbes to be the cold man tonight it seems.

[coachmac87]

Good. Murray is still out of control and just playing completely in-the-moment, but his in-the-moment decisions aren't great.

White plays a heady game and makes less mistakes. His shooting is already superior and he places passes more in the plan, if that makes sense.

Murray could be a real, cray cray talent, but he needs to bring floor-conciousness into the fold of his thought-process and all he's doing is just instinctual.


Murray is a 20yr old Jamal Crawford type lol..

[SAGirl]

Jaron's blossoming in front of our very eyes.

:tu
glad to see. last game he was definitely off.

[tonight...you]

He's their current charity case, tbh. Just doing him a favor keeping him around.
They hoped he would be a Mills replacement and it didn't happen. Give him his last summer league, reg practice and let him move on in ignominious obscurity.

This girly-looking guy should have his privacy respected, in the end. I'd get drunk with him, but I wouldn't allow myself be put in a room with him alone...

No trust.

[cd98]

Like Murray rebounding, but the rest of his game is close to awful.

[Robz4000]

If Blossomgame actually has an NBA-ready three-pointer the Spurs got the steal of the draft.

[tonight...you]

Murray is a 20yr old Jamal Crawford type lol..
And?

[sasaint]

Tatum's a SF who'll probably bulk up to a SF, small ball PF. Not a very realistic test for Forbes.

Can't see Tatum playing PF. He will be a stud SF. Already looks like a man compared to the other guys on the floor.

[picnroll]

Blossomgame on Tatum now.

[ceperez]

Blossom game on Tatum now.

Looking forward to see what kind of defense he has.

[Mr. Body]

Like Murray rebounding, but the rest of his game is close to awful.

He looks worse than last year. Small sample size, but still.

[Strategic]

Pops already benching White for that foul

[Spurs9]

:tu Blossom looking good

[SAGirl]

blossom rookie mistakes.
bites on pumpfake

[Robz4000]

:cry beautiful game :cry

[TheGreatYacht]

Forbes with 20pts in 17min :wow

Too bad RC Buford paid the poor man's Bryn $50,000,000

[ace3g]

3 ball is alive

[sasaint]

Blossomgame on Tatum now.

That should be a good matchup.

[TimDunkem]

Good to see Forbes hit his shots for once. :lol

[tonight...you]

Who cares? Summer league is all about who looks superior and who looks comfortable within the plan.
The superior are NBA players in some fashion.
The guys that run the plan are maybies.


This team has one guy that's cray talented, but may never reach his potential, and a few guys that might do some things- starting with White.

That's it.

Have fun!

[TheGreatYacht]

For those interested

Whittington has 0pts and 1reb in 15 minutes

[DPG21920]

Murray keeps passing to guys who are already covered. He isn't even trying to finish now; had the ball passed to him on the break and jumped and turned and passed out to the 3PT line. Ended up in a Forbes 3 after the extra pass, but want to see him being TP levels of aggressive and finishing.

[Spurs9]

Spurs going full Warriors mode right now.

Honestly, it looks like he's been told to pass.

[picnroll]

Life definitely more difficult for Tatum now.

[SAGirl]

Davis 3! could have gotten tonight all the shots he took last game :tu

[DPG21920]

Honestly, it looks like he's been told to pass.

I definitely think you are correct; I'm just not in love with all the passes he's making. If that's the gameplan, that's fine, but make some better passes.

He's had a few good early passes in transition in both games that I've liked, but off his PnR he's finding guys who already have defenders near them vs his penetration creating truly open looks.

[ceperez]

Honestly, it looks like he's been told to pass.

Even if all he's doing is passing, its so disruptive that there are so many open shooters!

[SAGirl]

Honestly, it looks like he's been told to pass.

That is exactly what he was told by his own words.
I think he had a tendency (based on last summer league and observations from early season) to look for his shot too much. He's been told to distribute and set others up.

the jumpshot he's taken don't look good though.

[r0drig0lac]

Bryn on fire

[sasaint]

For those interested

Whittington has 0pts and 1reb in 15 minutes

That's 15 minutes that should have gone to Jefferson or Lalanne.

[picnroll]

Forbes >> Curry lol

[TheGreatYacht]

A microwave that's not Australian and broken :wow

[SAGirl]

Forbes is definitely having a special night shooting.

[ace3g]

White and 1!!! that corner jumper got him going

[Chinook]

White power!

[SAGirl]

24 points so far.

[picnroll]

Nice drive by White scores over Aziz

[LakerHater]

Jefferson w a Man rebound!

[Spurs9]

Man Forbes looking really good.

[TheGreatYacht]

Murray is 0-7
White is 3-12

But at least we have Forbes!

[tonight...you]

To all of you:
I agree.

[xellos88330]

White coming to life.

[Robz4000]

:lmao I still can't get over White's forehead

[SAGirl]

good decision making by white using that screen there. I like

[LakerHater]

Man that ball jus flows w White!

[ceperez]

Wow... White going nuts creating his own shot!

[picnroll]

Liking White.

[SAGirl]

White coast to coast :tu

[Rito3d30]

damn I thought White was slow

[ceperez]

White look's like the steal of the draft!

[RD2191]

White power!

Hitler, that you?

[Chinook]

:lmao I still can't get over White's forehead

The key is to rest halfway through.

[TheGreatYacht]

White is 3-13 and just missed an open Bertans there.

Dont get the circle jerk fest going on

[GB20]

White look's like the steal of the draft!
he is looking good

[Robz4000]

The key is to rest halfway through.

Shit, it's quicker to drive across Texas.

[sasaint]

Wow... White going nuts creating his own shot!

He is easy to watch. Looks comfortable, confident, competent and smooth.

[picnroll]

Compared to Murray White's shots actually have a chance of going in. Right now I've got White over Murray for PG minutes.

[tonight...you]

Murray is 0-7
White is 2-10

But at least we have Forbes!
You're not even amusing bro.
Can't you think of more clever shit at all?


I get the truth of it, but you're like a neanderthal with a hammer.

"Me hit things!"

That's you bro. We know that hammers are meant to hit things. Just like you spouting the most basic shit like you made it up. Over and over.

Bring some good shit. You used to be someone I, that when I saw your name, would be like- "shit's on now", but you've been staler than years-old bread lately.

Now: insult my ass and do it creatively, for once, since you've been slacking like a Manu8TO game for years.

[ceperez]

White is 3-13 and just missed an open Bertans there.

Dont get there circle jerk fest going on

He's missing those tear drops.... but that can be fixed.

Looks like Spurs have their starting point guard!!

[Spurs9]

I think we should call white Fasthead.

[DPG21920]

It's weird with White. He does not seem that fast, but every once in a while he gets' moving.

[sasaint]

Celts representative just said it was great to pick up Hayward without giving up anything. :lol

[SAGirl]

Dijon saved in this game by Forbes and Davis bouncing back from their bad nights shooting last games.... he needs to do something about his finishes in the paint for sure.

[apalisoc_9]

For those interested

Whittington has 0pts and 1reb in 15 minutes

Why is that dide even getting minutes :lol

[Russ]

Murray is snakebit. He could stop a layup line.

[tonight...you]

He is easy to watch. Looks comfortable, confident, competent and smooth.
I'm telling you. White's got IT.
I just know Pop is going to trust him.

He is very controlled.

[sasaint]

I think we should call white Fasthead.

:toast :lol

Tldr, but I'm guessing you wrote some weird shit that didn't make sense. Don't quote me

[sasaint]

Why is that dide even getting minutes :lol

No más. No más.

[DPG21920]

That floater, ugh. Just pull up with a normal shot sometimes.

[SAGirl]

Tatum looking like a stud for the celitcs... jaylen didn't look good tonight.

[SAGirl]

Well I think Forbes earned a ticket to training camp IMO.
If he's released/waived he will be picked up by another team.

[TheGreatYacht]

Why is that dide even getting minutes :lol
Can't lose the inbred tv audience :lol

[sasaint]

Yeah, but does Pop? A rookie?

[SAGirl]

Whittington still seeing playing time and still shittington.

This dude saying Pop is the key to this Spurs team being good :lmao apalisoc_9

You are such a little bitch.

We still buds, though. Like you'd be against it... Too much of a bitch to go against.

[Robz4000]

Celtics back in it

[TheGreatYacht]

Murray and White a combined 3-23

Get well soon MVParker

Murray heroball ---->
:pop: the doghouse.

[wildbill2u]

His finishes aren't going in either. He's missed some bunnies tonight

[SAGirl]

To be fair has to be frustrating for Dijon to be passing so much to Shittington and him missing.

[BD24]

You are such a little bitch.

We still buds, though. Like you'd be against it... Too much of a bitch to go against.
TGY used to be a good poster. Then he decided to switch up his trolling. Now you can't see him go one or two post without fondling Apas balls.

I'm sure he will switch it up and be back to hating Apa at some point or another.

[ceperez]

It's weird with White. He does not seem that fast, but every once in a while he gets' moving.

White is going to learn a lot from Parker.

[xellos88330]

I really am getting disappointed in Murray. I was hoping he would have made a decent step forward in his development, but he looks exactly the same. Prove me wrong young fella.

[sasaint]

Well I think Forbes earned a ticket to training camp IMO.
If he's released/waived he will be picked up by another team.

I never really thought he wouldn't get a camp invite. But if he continues like this, I guess he could make me eat my words and actually stick again on an expanded roster. :wow

[apalisoc_9]

This dude saying Pop is the key to this Spurs team being good :lmao apalisoc_9

Omg :lmao

[ceperez]

White makes it look easy how he can get into the lane. Murray isn't as skilled and you can see that he's having a ton of a hard time.

[GSH]

TGY used to be a good poster. Then he decided to switch up his trolling. Now you can't see him go one or two post without fondling Apas balls.


That's just dumb. Apa has no balls.

[LakerHater]

Man Tatum mom has his actual Jersey on!!

[SAGirl]

Yeah, but does Pop? A rookie?

Some guys are going to have to grow up a lot over the summer and training camp to wrestle 50 milllion man Patty for that spot.

[Robz4000]

I really am getting disappointed in Murray. I was hoping he would have made a decent step forward in his development, but he looks exactly the same. Prove me wrong young fella.

The offseason just started a month ago. If he hasn't shown any improvement by November then you can be disappointed.

[picnroll]

Based on Tatum's mom I don't think he'll have any problem putting on weight.

[Mr. Body]

He looks worse.

[BD24]

Good point. Well played sir :toast

[DPG21920]

Murray is like the guy in soccer who doesn't lose the ball only because he makes the simple pass. doesn't really advance the ball or do anything meaningful with the passes, but at least it was not him that did something bad.

[BD24]

Based on Tatum's mom I don't think he'll have any problem putting on weight.
:lol

[picnroll]

Murray has a great ability to drop the ball off to big men on the inside who are in a bad position.

[sasaint]

Davis with a big trey!
