I do miss me some 48 Minutes of Hell. It was the only decent spurs blog out there and it died, while other pieces of shit like pounding the cock and air alamo live on in the gutter.

[slick'81]

Another team willing to out tank our spurs

[heyheymymy]

Looking forward to seeing Osmane and Jalen Williams (CA not AR lol)

[heyheymymy]

lol Thunder have a Giddey and a Gaddy

[Leetonidas]

Looks like this will be the SL to begin the year. Sochan starting day one :wow

[Dejounte]

Looks like this will be the SL to begin the year. Sochan starting day one :wow

We need to retire the idea that Pop doesn’t play rookies or the “he won’t play until his third year” line.

[heyheymymy]

is Cojo looking productive for DET?

Seen some good burn from him preseason, nothing crazy but decent mins

[PhantomDashCam]

Josh Giddey shooting 50% from 3 this Pre-Season.
(Only 3 attempts per game but only playing 22 mins per too).

Interested to see if his form has improved or whether it is just some form of a hot streak...

[KingKev]

Nice to finally have some form of proper roster construction so we can have a regular starting lineup.

Long term I’m skeptical of the Sochan/Jak pairing. Works for now to help KJ/Vassell play where they can succeed.

[heyheymymy]

Also some good stuff from Ivey gotta settle in but promising.

[Dex]

I think it works if Sochan can actually start knocking down some of those threes. I'm encouraged that he seems to have the green light to shoot them. The results haven't been promising yet...but keeping in mind the kid has only played scattered minutes in 4 preseason games of his NBA career

[KingKev]

Anyone have a game link? NBA league pass in Canada has been hopeless so far


@ace3g (https://www.spurstalk.com/forums/member.php?u=2345)

can you assist sir?

[Dejounte]

Those were MONSTER rebounds by Keldon. He outrebounded the whole Thunder team twice.

[tim_duncan_fan]

Board Man Gets Paid!

[Rocalcio]

Keldon fighting for the rebound !

[ace3g]

https://twitter.com/NBA/status/1580715515030691841

Looks like early minutes for our deep bench. Their last try out.

Welp, Primo worked on his handle over the summer. He could pass as an ISO guy for sure. A lot to prove though.

[emanueldavidginobili]

That Primo move was special

[Leetonidas]

Primo looking good early

[SPURt]

Ok Primo, I see you

[Rocalcio]

Langford early in the game, that’s a sign.

[Dejounte]

That Primo move was special

One or two of those plays could make the NBA top 10 highlight reel. He’s got a flashy game.

Primo playing a little offball with Tre out there now.

[PhantomDashCam]

Best game stretch of Primos’ young career? Really impressive thus far.

[heyheymymy]

primo looking flashy at least imo wow

[boutons_deux]

[BackHome]

Your right he is not explosive athlete but if he can be like Harden and just understand angles have good body control he still can be very good NBA player.

[PhantomDashCam]

KJ playing the 2 in this lineup? Wow what an off-season if true.

Primo is impressive

[Dejounte]

Primo splitting defenders again. He’s a natural born scorer, just has to harness it.

[lefty20]

Primo feelin it

[Seventyniner]

I wonder if Primo will play the Manu role.

[heyheymymy]

King Kev check streameast live

[emanueldavidginobili]

Primo has his handles on a yo-yo. His handles are significantly improved just from the last time we saw him in the SL, nvm last season.

[heyheymymy]

Primo looking like Jesus Jordan out there wow

[John B]

I know OKC is not the best competition, but I think the Spurs are playing great right. The rotation, defense is just fun to watch. They might surprise a lot of teams counting them out, tbh

[Rocalcio]

I’m ok to surprise other teams as long at they beat us in the end.

[objective]

Disappointed with Sochan. Happy that he's playing, need to figure out who can play and how they're best utilized sooner than typical.

[BillMc]

Devin is so cool. My favorite current spur. Nothing bothers him.

[John B]

MIP candidate bruh, I'm telling you.

Sure aside from the plethora of turnovers and terrible FT shooting

[Rocalcio]

Giddey thanking Chip with the shoot improvement

[emanueldavidginobili]

Devin looks so engaged.

[John B]

There's something wrong with you if you're not enjoying this shit. :lol Our guys are hustling out there. I know they're making mistakes, but that's just experience, but the effort is there. I like it.

[BillMc]

Tre may not have Primo's ceiling but he runs the team better (for now at least).

[BillMc]

Even if we lose, this season will be fun to watch. I like all our rotation guys. Will be cool to watch them grow.

[Dejounte]

Keldon’s defense!!!

[Dejounte]

Some 2 guard play again for Primo.

[John B]

Tre may not have Primo's ceiling but he runs the team better (for now at least).

Tre reminds me so much of The General Avery, except I think he will be much better with his athleticism and fearlessness. And his bball IQ is up there.

[Rocalcio]

First turnover for Jones, he’s being clean.

[Dex]

3-point shooting still sucks, but I like the hustle

[emanueldavidginobili]

Tre Jones effort is commendable but fuck I rather have Primo with the ball in his hands at the end of the quarter who is the 12th pick in last years draft compared to a second round pick.

[John B]

First turnover for Jones, he’s being clean.

I wouldn't be surprised if Tre become a Spurs lifer. I get that Avery Johnson, Patty Mills vibes on him, a coaches player out there.

[mystargtr34]

Love the way Sochan pushes the ball up the floor when he rebounds. Spurs should make a deliberate point of doing that more often. Like Simmons and Draymond do.

[Dejounte]

Tre Jones effort is commendable but fuck I rather have Primo with the ball in his hands at the end of the quarter who is the 12th pick in last years draft compared to a second round pick.

Primo’s vision is more “read and react” than “set other people up” right now. Tre needs to be out there with the ball in his hands for the offense to have any structure.

[Dex]

I wouldn't be surprised if Tre become a Spurs lifer. I get that Avery Johnson, Patty Mills vibes on him, a coaches player out there.

Nah, he is more of a Cory Joseph...good enough to be a stop-gap, especially for a tanking team.

But Tre Jones ain't helping lead ANY team to a championship

[Trueblood]

League pass automatically renewed so I've been able to catch the last couple preseason games and I just have to say promo has not impressed at all. His handles are loose, he's turning the ball over almost every other possession, he lacks explosiveness. I'm holding out hope that he can put it together but I'm not seeing anything to justify these articles in the off-season about him becoming a franchise player.

[John B]

I wish Chip could've worked on Sochan. I think he could really help improve his shooting.

[XDT76]

Sochan's FT seems worse than Poeltl, he needs lots of shooting training.

[stephen jackson]

Primo looks Like a whole nother player

[Dejounte]

Primo’s scoring tonight 10/10

[Leetonidas]

Primo with 23pts in 24 mins

[Atl Spur]

Primo is out of shape right now…… he will hopefully keep improving.

[PhantomDashCam]

Primo’s scoring tonight 10/10

Noticeably got to his spots easier tonight too.
Could very well be a starter by the end of the season if he continues to trend upwards.

With Vassell and Keldon needing their shots, I’m not sure that’s a good idea…

[heyheymymy]

wow Sochan with the big time 3!

[heyheymymy]

ahh his foot was on the line still a great no hesitation release

[Atl Spur]

Branham is a horrible defender…….no anticipatory skills at all!

[tim_duncan_fan]

For the love of god, please stop trying to involve Poeltl in the offense so much.

[Rocalcio]

We saw nice things tonight, now to the RS !

[exstatic]

Love the way Sochan pushes the ball up the floor when he rebounds. Spurs should make a deliberate point of doing that more often. Like Simmons and Draymond do.

Diaw did that. It’s nice to have a big that initiates the break with more than an outlet pass.

[Chinook]

Primo might be as bad as Danny Green dribbling the ball against pressure. He's actually very creative with the ball once he gets to the rim, but even centers can check him straight-up and get a hand on the ball. It's clear it's going to take years for him to get that right, but you can see the improvement in his game. Pretty happy overall with where the guys are, but I'm a bit uncertain as to why the Spurs gave Wieskamp this contract unless it was agreed-to back pay ala LJC back in the day. I'd waive him and give him Hall's spot on a two-way if he doesn't get claimed and wants to come back. Hall should be in Austin.

[scott]

Great example of the exact kind of competitive loss we want to see this season.

[slick'81]

Yes, play the youngster's and rack up the L's in the regular season. Less kbd is always a good thing

It's not going to take him years. Likely will be far better by the end of the season.

[stephen jackson]

The real tank begins

[spurs1990]

So this is the starting five going into Wednesday

Jones and Vassell are 22
Johnson is 23
Sohan is 19

Coach has never started someone as young as Sohan.

Add in 20 year old Primo and possibly 19 yr. Branham and that’s six rotation players under 25. It’s gonna be entertaining 82 games

1580705089148186624

[slick'81]

We going (1-0) babbbey!!! The hornets in trouble

[Chinook]

It's not going to take him years. Likely will be far better by the end of the season.

I didn't say it's going to take him years to show improvement. I think he's shown some already. But, yeah, it's probably going to be something he'll have to improve over the course of his career, like how most players improve their shot over time and not just in one d-league stint like Keldon did. I hope ball-handling becomes a real strength of his, like it became for Kawhi. But that usually takes years of development, not just a season's worth of games.

[gambit1990]

they could've given jock 30 mpg this year and then traded him while his stock was up.

just crazy how the spurs don't ... trade while a player's value is high. la, demar ... gave jock away for nothing. the suns got him for the minimal amount of money a player could be traded for.

[John B]

For the love of god, please stop trying to involve Poeltl in the offense so much.

On the contrary, you would like to get Poeltl involved in the offense and early.

[Atl Spur]

His handle is nowhere bad as Greens….stop it! Josh will be a better ball handler ( with advance moves ) than Dj, Danny, or maybe even Kawhi ever was! Book it!

They almost try to force-feed the guy like he's the center of the offensive picture. It was kinda irritating

He's already just about where DJ was the first 3 years of his career lol

Danny Green could never make these moves and you know that. By the time Primo got 5 NBA seasons under him he'll only be 23, so I'm pretty confident that he will put it together

I get what you are saying. I think Primo has some excellent advanced moves which are very acceptable for a 2/3 but has a weak "live dribble". That's going to be a problem if the Spurs continue to push him as a PG / lead ball handler. Hopefully dealing with those issues now help him in the long run but it does work both ways and I would hate to see his confidence sapped because of poor ball security. If he was being played more off-ball and only being asked to make dribble plays off of the catch, against a close out, in transition and in secondary actions, nobody would be complaining about his ballhandling, in my opinion.

I know you are kidding about LDN and the ball handling though. I love that man so very much but his work against pressure was just hilarious.

[offset formation]

Looking forward to seeing Osmane and Jalen Williams (CA not AR lol)

I'm gonna take a moment to gloat. As I took a lot of shit for suggesting Dieng at the #9 spot. But...

Dieng had himself a very solid ROOKIE pre-season:

24 MPG
11 PPG
3.4 RPG
1.4 APG
58 FG%
47 3PT%
69.16 TS%

Those are very solid numbers for a kid relatively new to basketball. I'd say not bad at all for a "complete project" or a "total reach," etc.

I'll see myself out now. Smugly, so.

[offset formation]

It's not going to take him years. Likely will be far better by the end of the season.

He's improved his handle undoubtedly but that means shit when you still dribble into traffic and turn the ball over as a forced PG with the consistency he does.

[Joseph Kony]

I like Primo's improvement and he definitely has some nice moves for a kid that young but i really feel like SA is doing him a disservice by trying to fit him into a backup PG role when he isnt a PG, imo

[spurraider21]

they could've given jock 30 mpg this year and then traded him while his stock was up.

just crazy how the spurs don't ... trade while a player's value is high. la, demar ... gave jock away for nothing. the suns got him for the minimal amount of money a player could be traded for.
didnt we waive LMA just months after guaranteeing parts of his deal we had no obligation to guarantee? :lol

Another promising French youngster, the future of our national team looks bright

[The Truth #6]

If I heard the reports correctly, then it sounds like Primo is being slated more as a six man than the back up point guard maybe? I think coming in as a microwave makes more sense than being just a point guard.

[XDT76]

If I heard the reports correctly, then it sounds like Primo is being slated more as a six man than the back up point guard maybe? I think coming in as a microwave makes more sense than being just a point guard.

For the roster as it is now, he is probably playing the Manu role.

[Arcadian]

I don't give enough of a fuck to switch back to DirecTV Stream just to watch a shitty tanking team. I'm keeping YouTube TV this year, and I'll watch whatever comes on there. If Bally Sports is gonna limit itself to one streaming service, then fuck you I'm not watching.

Did Bally Sports leave YouTube?

[offset formation]

Did Bally Sports leave YouTube?

Yup. They werent available on YouTube for practically all of last season past the first few games as I recall.

[tonight...you]

If I heard the reports correctly, then it sounds like Primo is being slated more as a six man than the back up point guard maybe? I think coming in as a microwave makes more sense than being just a point guard.
It's going to be a long season and he's probably going to be moved around quite a bit to find his fit in the rotation as it rolls along.

Expect a ton of different alignments and starting groups this year.

Yup. They werent available on YouTube for practically all of last season past the first few games as I recall.

Lame. I guess it makes sense so Bally could push their own shitty service and app...but even I can't justify $20 a month just to watch this team (hopefully) tank all year, and I'm not interested in anything else that would come on Bally.

$20 is pretty steep when competitors like AppleTV+, Disney+, Hulu, Netflix, etc...have way more content and are generally in the $5-$15 range

[The Truth #6]

I guess $20 is cheaper than $130 or whatever for previously having to get the whole cable package, but I hear you, sadly I’m on the fence of getting it. The YouTube highlight video is about 10 minutes long and free. Hmmm…

[GAustex]

League pass is cheaper maybe?
On a per month basis?

[lefty20]

LP is def worth it at $100, assuming you don't live in the black out region.

[Mr. Body]

Wasn't it more like a hundred bucks for just one team in the last couple years? Seems much cheaper now.

Yeah, I paid 90~ last year just for the single team package. Full league pass was 230.

They kicked the price way down due to competitive streaming markets.

Blackouts are my problem with LP. I'd probably drop the dime if I could actually get the games...but I don't.

Fortunately there are...other ways to watch

[RC_Drunkford]

I've tried all of the streaming sites but none of them are really tablet/mobile friendly. You have deal with annoying as pop-ups plus they crap out at the worst times.

I work in the evenings, so I can only watch the games on one of those devices. Work pc obviously has the illegal stream sites blocked as well. Ain't got no choice but LP for a dependable way to watch games.

Based on my north Austin zip code
“ Based on your current location, you will be unable to view LIVE SPURS games or nationally broadcast games on ESPN, ABC or TNT via your League Pass, League Pass Premium, or Team Pass subscription (inclusive of NBA TV). Locally blacked out games will be available 3 days after the live broadcast, while nationally broadcast games will be available 3 hours after the live broadcast. Each subscription includes access to live radio broadcasts of all NBA games. Please consult your local TV and radio broadcaster schedules for where to find broadcasts in your area.”

[lefty20]

Always thought that the local blackout restrictions were BS.

You used to be able to get around it via vpn, but apparently that method was shut down last year. Definitely fucking sucks for local cord cutters.

Because I'd rather pay the money and have that shit recorded on you youtube tv DVR and watch whenever I want on my TV instead of having to look for a shit stream. Easily worth the money to me.

Same here. If you pay monthly, it's essentially about the price of one night out drinking, and you can cancel anytime. Hell, if I stay in half a dozen nights a month watching hoops instead of going out, LP actually saves me money.

I like Primo's improvement and he definitely has some nice moves for a kid that young but i really feel like SA is doing him a disservice by trying to fit him into a backup PG role when he isnt a PG, imo

For most of our championship window, Manu was the de facto backup PG, and he had an asst/TO ratio of 1.9. That’s nowhere near PG territory.

And Manu is a HOFer that was an elite player for many years here....not even worth making that comparison :lol

the ast/to ratio is not what i care about either. the man is not a PG, pure and simple. Manu had otherworldly vision regardless of the position he played. Primo does not
