Should be interesting :tu

[wildcardX]

Can't lose this one.

[r0drig0lac]

Can't lose this one.

[BillMc]

Hopefully, Luka is allowed to play

[NASpurs]

Should be interesting :tu

Our definitions of “interesting” are different. :lol

[NASpurs]

Hopefully, Luka is allowed to play

Yeah I want to see KJ, Luka and Weatherspoon. Everyone else is a known commodity.

[SpurPadre]

If Mills or Forbes clamp down White, then it's time to hit the panic button on him, tbh.

[wildcardX]

Wondering if Timmy is suiting up for the scrimmage or wears an actual suit.

[RC_Drunkford]

can we watch it on the Spurs facebook?

[FkLA]

Derrick "best PG on the team" White is going to destroy IB, tbh.

[FkLA]

[Leetonidas]

DJ looking good so far

[BillMc]

Like DJ's outside shot.

[Robz4000]

:wow Murray's shot looks great

[ismael-robert]

Im in section 106

[RC_Drunkford]

So far DJ seems to be a better 3-point shooter than White

[Dex]

Two 3's for DJ so far...will have to see how it translates into real games, but the shot looks much improved and he's not been shy about shooting them.

[FkLA]

-IB's shot looks good, in general he looks good
-DeRozan's game is still as disgusting as ever
-Wombat and Belli starting over Lonnie
-White needs to shoot
-Forbes is good

[timtonymanu]

Hoping DJ can shoot 3s at a decent rate all year. Very nice to see

[Leetonidas]

-IB's shot looks good, in general he looks good
-DeRozan's game is still as disgusting as ever
-Wombat and Belli starting over Lonnie
-White needs to shoot

:wow

[Robz4000]

White's playmaking at least is looking better; counted three assists in that quarter. Defense was iffy and obviously his shot is MIA outside that long two.

[FkLA]

White is back :cry

[r0drig0lac]

dejounte Curry

[ace3g]

Murray 3 for 3 from 3

[Leetonidas]

Murray is a beast

[Dex]

Murray swishes another three :wow

[Robz4000]

Murray looks great. White looking better too.

Don't think Metu will be here much longer.

[FkLA]

I like how nobody says shit about White unless he's struggling. We want both of them to do well though. We promise. :lol

[BillMc]

Murray looks great. White looking better too.

Don't think Metu will be here much longer.

Yep, yep and yep

[FkLA]

Belli and Wombat letting it fly every time they touch the ball smh.

Nobody wants to see y'all on the floor much less chucking, faggots.

[ace3g]

Murray with the Dirk one foot fadeaway - didn't make it but liked the move out of the post.

[Leetonidas]

White has made some great plays that got fucked up by someone bricking the shot. Good to see him under control tonight :tu

[Robz4000]

:wow Lonnie with the block

[Robz4000]

Like what I've seen so far from Murray, Forbes, White, Carroll, Eubanks, and Walker.

Haven't liked what I've seen so far from LMA, Metu, Gay, and Lyles.

Mills and Beli are good offensively, awful on D.

[FkLA]

I'm so fucking sick of Wombat and Belli.

Watching DeRozan and Lyles is depressing.

[SpurPadre]

Murray looking like a stud, per par. White looking much better than before. Hope his slump since Round 1 is over and done with, tbh.

[ace3g]

Luka and Keldon in!!!

[timtonymanu]

Trey Lyles is a shitty product, unsurprisingly. To go from that knucklehead Morris who was actually a solid role player to Trey fucking Lyles. Smh.

[Dex]

Forbes shooting is outrageous right now.

[FkLA]

Forbes is the player Pop wishes his pet Wombat was, tbh.

[ace3g]

Luka deep 3!!!

[Dex]

Trey Lyles is a shitty product, unsurprisingly. To go from that knucklehead Morris who was actually a solid role player to Trey fucking Lyles. Smh.

Not like that was the Spurs preference. Fuck Morris.

[Leetonidas]

Weatherspoon looks like he might legit be solid player in the league

[Robz4000]

Forbes' offensive game is so smooth now. Crazy how far he's come since his rookie year.

[timtonymanu]

Wombat and Beli are this team’s version of Finley and Bonner all those years when those two would get more minutes than they deserved.

[timtonymanu]

Not like that was the Spurs preference. Fuck Morris.


Yeah for sure, can’t blame them on that one.

[FkLA]

Belli legit has like 20 FGAs.

Didn't TPork say his and Wombat's minutes would take a drastic cut? :lol

[Robz4000]

Belli legit has like 20 FGAs.

Didn't TPork say his and Wombat's minutes would take a drastic cut? :lol

Yep, not happy with all the shots they've been taking.

[timtonymanu]

The ideal lineup would be:

Murray, Forbes, Derozan, Gay, Aldridge

White, Walker, Carroll, Poeltl as the bench rotation.

Let Mills/Beli see time in that 2nd unit or the rotation if the team needs more 3 point shooting. But don’t make them a guaranteed option every game. Lyles will see spot minutes or there to foul someone in the other team. Let the rookies play when some of the starters or bench options sit.

[timtonymanu]

Belli legit has like 20 FGAs.

Didn't TPork say his and Wombat's minutes would take a drastic cut? :lol

Lol Tpork. Like that guy was ever credible to begin with.

[GusT15]

Let Lonnie dunk the ball,DeMar.

If it was an actual game and not a practise you'd find a way to botch the steal,wouldn't you?

[SpursDynasty85]

I like how nobody says shit about White unless he's struggling. We want both of them to do well though. We promise. :lol

His performance thus far is like a B- so far. nothing impressive yet. Most of us want to see him play to his potential. Still haven't seen it yet this year.

[ace3g]

DeRozan shoots 3, didn't look good - short.

[Robz4000]

Everytime Metu touches the ball he goes into chuck-mode.

[FkLA]

I'm about to lose my shit over Belli. This motherfucker is out there acting like he's the star of the show.

[timtonymanu]

I'm about to lose my shit over Belli. This motherfucker is out there acting like he's the star of the show.

B-b-but the big balls gif

[FkLA]

Bro all this motherfucker does is shoot...

[r0drig0lac]

Luka!!!

[Dex]

Beli is that guy in pickup that people start freezing out because they know if they pass it to him, they aren't getting it back

[Dex]

Luka's 3 looks solid

[BillMc]

Spurs by 5
:flag:

[FkLA]

Wombat over there sitting with the "nothing to prove" guys. If anything, his minutes are going to increase.

[timtonymanu]

Imagine if Forbes didn’t break out last season and the team had to start Wombat all year. *gulp

[poopbox]

It's going to be infuriating watching Patty Mills on this team cause everything he does Forbes does it bigger stronger faster better and cheaper...

Spurs only team in the league who have two players who do the same thing...one being young and cheap...but they actually keep the older more expensive and less productive player around and force feed him minutes...

Any other team in the league...after the way Forbes played last season would have traded patty mills as soon as free agency started...

[Degoat]

I didn't get to watch the entire game but chimezie metu looked pretty good

He's a wonderful human being though. :cry

See the funny thing about trades is that the other team has to actually want the guy you want to get rid of...unless you're LeBron who is the greatest GM in NBA history and perennially trades shit for players of value.

I feel like the spurs could get rid of mills if they wanted to...you might not get anything of value back and that is fine because I am of the mind that just having 0 seconds of a severely undersized two guards playing awful defense and missing all the shots that matter are a big boost to your team...

The frightening part about all of this to me is that spurs actually don't want to get rid of a player who is not only not good but taking minutes and reps away from young players who actually factor into the spurs future...

[Dhbsr555]

Well boys we got our first dub of the season

:cry but who would buy players coffee after the game?

Mills (and Gasol last year) is the prime example of psuedo culture guys. Sure they will pat teammates on the back and boost the team morale in the locker room. But like DPG said in another thread, their play on the court will suck the life out of the team. It’s disheartening when guys like Murray and White have to play outstanding defense since Patty will give it right back to the other team with his red carpet defense.

Funny thing too is the apologist that keep saying his contract isn’t that bad compared to what other players demand. But Mills is legitimately unplayable in this league for what he’s being paid to do. Who gives a shit if he dominated in FIBA when guys like Luis scola went off over there too.

You have to note the context in which the contracts were given out also. When Mills signed his contract after the 2017 season, he was the best backup PG in the league & TP regressed faster than expected following his good play in the 2017 postseason (in large part because of his torn quad) forcing Mills to play more starter minutes. Mills defence has fallen off a cliff since & made him unplayable - making the contract look worse in hindsight. At the same time, after starting Dedmon for the second half of the 2017 season, they realised he wasn't going to be effective in any sort of postseason capacity because he could never get his fouling under control (way too jumpy). Pau opted out so they could chase CP3 & they rewarded him with a ridiculous contract as they weren't going to sign any decent free agents anyway. He regressed further & both loyalty contracts look worse, but at the end of the day, they weren't getting anyone else anyway. I actually think wasting roster spots on Cunningham & Pondexter last season was worse, because they could've taken a flyer on a couple of G-Leaguers.

But Forbes doesn't buy coffee for the Team. 2 years from now we gon say the same about DeRozan and Walker

In case anyone missed it.

It's gon be funny to see how people react when Pop let's Forbes walk after the season but keeps Mills for 13 Million per year

Sure like to know if new assistant Timmy Duncan has any (much?) input on roster. I can't imagine Tim is a Mills slurper.

[Ice009]

I think Tim and Tony Parker are the two guys that originally wanted the Spurs to keep Mills around. Not sure if his opinion has changed, but I think they were two of his biggest proponents for him staying around when they were playing.

Tim Duncan retired June 2016
Patty Mills signed 50 Million 4 years in June 2017

[Spurtacular]

Free admission would be great if they had put the arena downtown. Is it worth the gas to drive out there?
