Seriously I’m curious how T-Wolves play with their current roster. On paper they could make some noise playing 3 AS’s and a budding star.

Last meeting, the T-Wolves embarrassed themselves trying to get Edwards 50 points and nearly lost the game. They were dominant before that, however.

I saw a post on the twitter that he and Wesley were sent to Austin for d league training camp. Spurs should ride this hot streak and Rich and Buckets value goes way up. We got 3 FRP potential with them and Poetle

Why would Richardson sit? The media keeps throwing Lakers shit against the wall. Everyone knows where everyone else stands. There's no need for drawn out negotiations at this point. Come 12/15 things might change. But not now.

Boys are ballin. Sochan and Roby looking like a good young combination at the 4-spot. Roby seems like he can shoot it. 44 of 99 last season and 32-109 the year before. Need that when Sochan has games where he cant hit the rim from 3 and defences start to sag too much.

Sochan can make a living his rookie year making smart cuts and positioning himself in the dunkers spot.

You haven't watched wolves this year then. They've struggled. Nowell, Reid, prince has been lighting it up but starters struggling. KAT should not be playing. He was in hospital and lost twenty some pounds right before preseason.

Dejounte

I’d like to see more of that turnaround J by Sochan

mystargtr34
10-24-2022, 07:51 PM
Nice little turn around/fade away from Sochan.

He actually has a nice touch inside 10 feet even on little jumpers, saw a bit of that in college. That 3 ball is ugly though. None of them look close to going in.

John B
10-24-2022, 07:52 PM
I got a feeling Sochan will get that 3pt shooting eventually. And when he does, man.

mystargtr34

I would say go at him with whoever he is guarding but don't want to break the flow of the Spurs beautiful offense and go man hunting.

Edwards is so quiet

He put on a lot of muscle and I don't think he knows what to do with it yet. He's not been power dunking through people like last year but he's added a rediculous eurostep with a lot of fancy finishes. Be scary when he mixes them up.

When the whole team is struggling to score, they need one guy they can count on to score. That was Keldon in the second quarter.

Time to become a believer like DAF86

I believe we have some good young players...I believe we've got a lot of good assets too... I believe we should give these guys about 6 weeks to see if this is sustainable and if we continue to improve... most of all I believe we can actually compete if we can somehow acquire an alpha that fits with this group...

60 Spurs points in the paint to Timby's 36 is a bit of an indictment on the new roster design concept imo since it's built around a KAT/Gobert focus.

People enjoy good basketball. I don’t know a basketball fan who wouldn’t enjoy those first three quarters. It was beautiful execution. If you pause your mind a minute and actually think about why you watch the NBA, you will appreciate these things. But I mean, if you only keep up with the Spurs because you’re looking for a moment that may never come then good luck to you. Your life may just pass you by tbh.

They have depth. Their bench is basically all rotation-caliber players, with Primo being the only question mark. They don't have the high-end talent to overcome teams good enough to take away easy points.
