T-Wolves are on a back-to-back after beating the Nuggets in a nailbiter yesterday. This is a scheduled L, let's hope our guys can keep it competitive :flag:

While I think there is a level of basic respect, I get the feeling that Wemby doesn’t really like Gobert.

[LeBowen]

While I think there is a level of basic respect, I get the feeling that Wemby doesn’t really like Gobert.

Noone likes Gobert. :rollin

People say it for a lot of bigs, but Gobert is actually the player who's earning a living from basketball just because he's tall.
He's fucking tragic at everything on offense except for easy dunks. Can't even punish mismatches or develop a proper turnaround hook.
But he has the arrogance of an all-time great player.

This game is the real test for our defense. I'd like to see Jeremy deal with Randle, but then we'd have noone for Edwards.
Randle will probably kill Barnes, tbh.

[scott]

Did ya'll see Christian Braun put Gobert on a poster yesterday, then get in Gobert's face, causing Lunatic Gobert to come out and practically assault Braun before his brain turned on and realized what was happening? Classic Gobert stuff all around. Braun will be showing that to his grandkids for decades.

That was actually a really entertaining game between MIN and DEN last night... MIN *should* be drained after a game like that. If we had anything resembling offensive coherence, I'd say we could steal a win tonight... but, I expect us to lose by 20 instead.

If Pop wasn't a jackass, I'd suggest we match Edwards and Randle minutes up 1:1 with Castle and Sochan minutes, with Castle on Ant. Would be a great early career test for Steph. Instead, I expect some bullshit like Branham trying to guard Ant, and Ant responding with a 40 bomb.

[gambit1990]

great dunk.

Not a fan but he's not just tall. He got paid bc of stuff he can do like the last action of the game vs Jokic or a few plays before.

He has the arogance of a guy who gets shat on all year long by the fans but is a +300M career earnings player.

[Leetonidas]

Spurs app says game is at 7pm CT btw

[timtonymanu]

Wolves by 5, imo.

[Mr. Body]

I hate them from that late season game where they kept calling time outs and running plays for Anthony Edwards to get his 50 points when they were already up by like thirty points. Fuck that grade school shit.

[Chinook]

I hate them from that late season game where they kept calling time outs and running plays for Anthony Edwards to get his 50 points when they were already up by like thirty points. Fuck that grade school shit.

I think the Spurs sonning them in 2022 when they were fresh off the Gobert trade and riding high made up for that. The Spurs were so bad they got the first-overall pick, but they took two of three early games against the Wolves and basically set the tone of Minny's disappointing season. Basically like the Suns from last year but with no Wemby to justify the losses.

[NASpurs]

Spurs app says game is at 7pm CT btw

Thanks for the heads up. I had to double check

[Pauleta14]

Pop's out tonight

Feeling under the weather

https://x.com/JMcDonald_SAEN/status/1852837243372613949

I just got the alert myself.

[timtonymanu]

I hope he will be okay but good news, tbh fwiw imo.

At the same time, Mitch Johnson just seems like a yes man who doesn't know what he's doing so this will be interesting.

[LeBowen]

As long as it's not Brett Brown.

[scott]

Will be interesting to see what impact this has, if any. Would be fascinating to see if they somehow play with even less discipline.

[Pauleta14]

I hope he will be okay but good news, tbh fwiw imo.

At the same time, Mitch Johnson just seems like a yes man who doesn't know what he's doing so this will be interesting.

Same

For all the shit I give him, it's a cazy job and schedule at 76yo.

I kinda like this old chunk of coal tbh

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs app says game is at 7pm CT btw

my bad I'm in Europe and we already set the clock back one hour for wintertime. I always get that confused, cause y'all do it later.

[onechance87]

Get mamu more mins.

[Mugen]

I hope the old man is alright tbh and not something more serious. But will be nice to see someone else on the bench tonight tbh.

[exstatic]

I hope he will be okay but good news, tbh fwiw imo.

At the same time, Mitch Johnson just seems like a yes man who doesn't know what he's doing so this will be interesting.

I think the last time this happened, he went outside the box.

[John B]

Spurs Injuries: Tre Jones, ankle (OUT), Devin Vassell, foot (OUT), Pop (Under the weather)

TWolves Injuries: NONE

[RC_Drunkford]

maybe Mitch Johnson is smart enough to play Mamu and not run a Castle/Wesley/Sochan/Zollins line up

[Dex]

Spurs by 2

[PhantomDashCam]

I wonder how many 3s Wemby takes tonight?
If he gets hot early, could see him making 6+…

[Strategic]

Come on now. Go Spurs Go!

[Mugen]

Imagine if Wemby actually becomes a good 3pt shooter tbh :lol

[heyheymymy]

:flag:

[RC_Drunkford]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YNI50RC0AYw

[heyheymymy]

Sounds like Timbys had a late night on the back to back plus travel to SA

Would be a good game to try and pounce on them to steal a win

[heyheymymy]

CP3 middies are fuckin money

[100%duncan]

Sochan been biting in 3pt fakes since last year tbh

[DAF86]

Just so you know, Manu can still dunk it. Video proof coming later.

[LeBowen]

Good start, finally some functional offense.

[onechance87]

champ we need u to make those open shots

[onechance87]

what is sochan doing

[Degoat]

Anybody notice pop left the bench?

[Dex]

Anybody notice pop left the bench?

They announced he was out sick at the beginning of the game so...yes?

[gambit1990]

who’s HC tonight?

[baseline bum]

So is the coaching staff still evaluating whether to extend Branham? Hence brining him off the bench ahead of Castle.

[r0drig0lac]

nice play by Castle

[Dex]

who’s HC tonight?

Mitch Johnson is coaching tonight

[timtonymanu]

Mitch Johnson a confirmed yes man and doesn’t do much else. SMH can we get proper coaches please.

[LeBowen]

Great quarter, tbh.
All the 3pts they made were contested except DiVincenzo's.

[Strategic]

Spurs took a punch and hung in it

[mudyez]

So is the coaching staff still evaluating whether to extend Branham? Hence brining him off the bench ahead of Castle.

Just what I was thinking...go ahead...I'm not a big Branham fan but we need to know if we have something in him.

I really liked Castle but no need to rush it at this point.

[skin27]

Wemby 0 rebounds in the first quarter? :lmao

[Dex]

Mitch Johnson a confirmed yes man and doesn’t do much else. SMH can we get proper coaches please.

Maybe you should just stop complaining about everything all the time

[onechance87]

play mamu with wemby and castle

[SPURt]

I can’t tell if everyone sucks and Wemby carries scrubs or if Collins sucks so bad the team tanks when Wemby is off the court. It is a disturbing gap in efficacy.

[timtonymanu]

Maybe you should just stop complaining about everything all the time

I thought we were on the same side, homie. :cry

I’m just pissed Branham is in but at the same time, i guess it’s inevitable with how shitty our 3 point shooting is.

[Dex]

I thought we were on the same side, homie. :cry

I’m just pissed Branham is in but at the same time, i guess it’s inevitable with how shitty our 3 point shooting is.

Same side buddy. But coming out bitching about our backup coach seems like a weird flex :lol

[onechance87]

Just what I was thinking...go ahead...I'm not a big Branham fan but we need to know if we have something in him.

I really liked Castle but no need to rush it at this point.

we know the answer to that bro

[lefty20]

top 10 play right there

[SPURt]

That was nasty Wemby

[SPURt]

Johnson is not afraid of Gobert

[timtonymanu]

Just can’t stop their 3 pointers!

[timtonymanu]

I kinda hate Gobert now so glad Wemby and Keldon are waxing him lol.

[r0drig0lac]

Wemby is the goat basketball player

[heyheymymy]

he is still him

[timtonymanu]

Same side buddy. But coming out bitching about our backup coach seems like a weird flex :lol

I got you. I’ll just hate on Gobert.

[100%duncan]

Wemby is just vibing rn

[SPURt]

CP3 and Wemby is like a 50 year old dating a 20 year old, get it in as much as possible because that relationship has a fast approaching expiration date. Sucks.

[timtonymanu]

All that :cry Wemby has regressed nonsense.

[Pauleta14]

I know lots of 3s but zero rebs for Wemby isn't acceptable

[onechance87]

why did u change the lineup u dumbass coach.

[Mal]

So I bet Spurs game under, and freaking Keldon Johnson have game of his life shooting

[TekXX]

In fairness to Mitch, i doubt it's worth it to him to change pops rotations. I imagine that wouldn't go over well.

[timtonymanu]

Ugh Collins again

[r0drig0lac]

Sochan carrying

[NASpurs]

Collins is dumb

[heyheymymy]

CP3 really did make us better

[lefty20]

Point God making shit happen.

[timtonymanu]

Sochan-CP3 connection is special

[Guru of Nothing]

Pinch me.

[heyheymymy]

NASTY NASTY SOCHAN WOW WHAT THE FUCK MAN

8 straight points from Sochan

[SPURt]

Love me some Sochan

[timtonymanu]

Sochan’s touch around the rim as improved. I don’t care if he doesn’t have a 3 point shot because he does other things unlike Keldon and Zach.

[heyheymymy]

CP3

9 pts 7 ast 0 to

[LeBowen]

Great game so far.
I just don't see the need for Collins if they don't have an actual big on the floor.

[Dejounte]

Sochan’s touch around the rim as improved. I don’t care if he doesn’t have a 3 point shot because he does other things unlike Keldon and Zach.

He doesn’t switch off his man when it’s a top end player either. He wants to guard the best players. He wouldn’t let anyone else defend Edwards when he was on the floor. Can’t imagine anyone else do a better job than him, aside from maybe Castle in the future.

[heyheymymy]

SA looking solid rn

[heyheymymy]

Zollins and Keldon really cleaning up some criticisms

[TekXX]

oh lord Sochan can't help himself with the unnecessary shit.

[timtonymanu]

We really have to get use to Wemby’s chucking of 3s but I’ll take it.

[skin27]

Wemby 0 assist and 0 rebounds? Insane

[onechance87]

chill wemby

[Dex]

I'm sorry, but Wemby is fucking wasting possessions right now

[timtonymanu]

Should the Twolves have really kept gobert over towns? He does nothing for their offense.

[Leetonidas]

:pctoss

[onechance87]

branham lmao

[NASpurs]

Fuck off Branham

[r0drig0lac]

Wemby retiring Gobert lol

[CorrectCrusader]

Great first half. Wemby looks back to form.

[Dejounte]

Sochan lob to Wemby niceeee

[CorrectCrusader]

Should the Twolves have really kept gobert over towns? He does nothing for their offense.

If they would have traded Gobert instead of Towns their GM would have been canned for wasting so many picks.

[timtonymanu]

Gobert you soft fuck lol.

[LeBowen]

I don't like point Branham lineup.
They're tired, winnable game.

[timtonymanu]

DPOY gobert can’t even stop Keldon in the paint :lol

[DAF86]

What does Pop have against Mamu?

[Dejounte]

I don't like point Branham lineup.
They're tired, winnable game.
He’s too slow with the ball. It’s like watching DeRozan without DeRozan’s passing ability and ISO skills.

[RC_Drunkford]

Amazing how this team plays with a competent coach on the sideline

[skin27]

Sochan is stealing rebounds from wemby

[ginobilized]

CP3 has really changed the offense from last season. He has a special knack for feeding everybody and seems to look for the players who haven't scored and/or are struggling.

Defense is getting there, too.

Wemby is re-emerging from his summer funk.

[Guru of Nothing]

Hope Charles Barkley is streaming this halftime show.

[TekXX]

Is Dillingham playing?

[TekXX]

Hope Charles Barkley is streaming this halftime show.

The big 'ole women dancers?

[onechance87]

Sochan is stealing rebounds from wemby

its contract year:eyebrows

[RC_Drunkford]

To be fair Branham lost the ball cause nobody came out to set a screen for him. Somebody gotta set a pick when your ballhandler gets pressured like that

[Dejounte]

its contract year:eyebrows

His contract year is next year, not this year

[MultiTroll]

I'm just a boxscorer but Vic WamaBammer with 0 rebounds in 15 minutes?

The hell offense are the Poppycockers running? Vic out high and staying there?
0 defensive boards?

[Strategic]

I have to look hard to find something to complain about. So I open Spurstalk and there it is.

[skin27]

Problem with wemby is he’s letting his teammate to get the rebound from him instead of fighting to get the boards.

[onechance87]

His contract year is next year, not this year

Can he not sign a contract extension this upcoming offseason.

[Strategic]

Paul covering his mouth and telling Ant how happy he is that Pops not around

[Strategic]

Hopefully the wolves start tiring

[r0drig0lac]

special CP3

[LeBowen]

I'll be damned, actual winning basketball.

[Rosewood]

Sochan defense. Love it.

[NASpurs]

It'll be fun to watch when the bench gives back the lead.

[onechance87]

Cp3 running this team well

[spursparker9]

Sochan choosing Champaignie over Wemby :lol

[james evans]

welp, we got a big lead, time to put Johnson and Collins in to let it evaporate.

[spursparker9]

I'll be damned, actual winning basketball.

T-Wolves on 2nd night of a b2b.

[Pauleta14]

What does Pop have against Mamu?

Mamu is a lot better than Zollins on offense and a little bit worse on defense

Pick your poison

[Pauleta14]

Sochan choosing Champaignie over Wemby :lol

Court awareness

[NASpurs]

T-Wolves on 2nd night of a b2b.

Isn't it like the sixth game of the season? Do b2bs get easier as the season progresses?

[timtonymanu]

Twolves have some unlikeable players from Edwards to Gobert to McDaniels. Loved that chirping by Sochan.

[CorrectCrusader]

Spurs match up very well against the Timberpups. Love what I'm seeing tonight, very cerebral play!

[NASpurs]

Fun game tbh

[LeBowen]

McDaniels rattled.
Doesn't look like he's worth the extension he got.

[CorrectCrusader]

Sochan is an all time instigator I fucking love that about him.

[mystargtr34]

McDaniels is a hothead but Sochan pulled him down by his jersey which is a bit dirty.

[Dex]

Sochan has some dawg in him, I love it

[r0drig0lac]

Sochan doing everything lol

[NASpurs]

I bet Sochan is annoying for everyone else but us.

[Dejounte]

Wemby’s cryptonite having a nice game

[spursparker9]

McDaniels is a hothead but Sochan pulled him down by his jersey which is a bit dirty.

That is just a natural instinct reaction trying to grab hold of something while you are falling down tbh

[spursparker9]

CP3 elevating Sochan's offense and it lead to Sochan playing better Def tbh

[r0drig0lac]

Keldon!!!

[timtonymanu]

Keldon playing well but man I wish we got this more often than what he gives us

[skin27]

Keldon making 3’s lol

[james evans]

ok here we go. The Collins/Johnson duo.

[Strategic]

Keep this shit up and we may see Mamu and Minnix

[Uriel]

I'm going to go ahead and predict that if the Spurs remain reasonably healthy, they will finish the season with a winning home record.

[CorrectCrusader]

Malakhi Branham can't help but turn the ball over man. Stop picking up your fucking dribble in no mans land you absolute fucktard

[onechance87]

branham lmao

[LeBowen]

God fucking damnit with this Branham shit, he can't get the ball across.

[james evans]

hahahah, and just like that, it's a run

[baseline bum]

Why the fuck is Branham running point? Get Castle in to run the damn offense.

[TekXX]

Here comes the run and eventual loss

[Strategic]

Castle for Branham please

[John B]

CP3 having an A game

[CorrectCrusader]

CP3 elevating Sochan's offense and it lead to Sochan playing better Def tbh

Sochan has to do way less isolation scoring and the ball is spoon fed to him in great spots. Allows him to save energy for the defensive end. CP3 is fucking dealing tonight

[Dejounte]

Branham’s lack of focus is what’s going to send him to China. These are dumb fucking mistakes. Lonnie-esque.

[baseline bum]

Branham was an even worse PG than Sochan last year, WTF is he playing point for now?

[spursparker9]

Malakhi Branham can't help but turn the ball over man. Stop picking up your fucking dribble in no mans land you absolute fucktard

This is on Mitch. There is no PG on the court. Zollins, Malakai, Sochan, Keldon, Barnes

[Pauleta14]

So Bahman is our back up PG now??

WTF is happening with this coaching staff...

[NASpurs]

Did Castle die? Why is Branham bringing up the ball?

[TekXX]

I'm going to go ahead and predict that if the Spurs remain reasonably healthy, they will finish the season with a winning home record.

lol great, play in territory

[John B]

Then Malaki threw it away :lmao

[Thomas82]

Problem with wemby is he’s letting his teammate to get the rebound from him instead of fighting to get the boards.

IKR......no way he should only have 3 rebounds this late in the game.

[kjhip1]

Why on Gods green earth is Branham bringing the ball up?

[onechance87]

Branham was an even worse PG than Sochan last year, WTF is he playing point for now?

Yea this coach trying to cute or something

[playblair]

latinos cant play tic tac toe :lmao

[Dex]

How are people so bad at tic-tac-toe?

[spursparker9]

Castle look like he hurt his hand again

[Pauleta14]

Zollins is BBQ Chicken for Randle

[timtonymanu]

As usual our bench is giving this game back

[CorrectCrusader]

Snipers in the arena please blow Collins head off what the fuck is this terrorist doing on the floor

[100%duncan]

Zollins

[poopbox]

Collins and branhim working over time to blow this lead :lmao

[AusSpur]

Just have to ride out the storm of these Collins and Branham minutes

[baseline bum]

You dumb motherfucker Zollins

[NASpurs]

Collins gives me AIDS watching him.

[heyheymymy]

CASTL3

[Dex]

I hate Zach Collins so much.

[spursparker9]

Tbh T-Wolves weaken themselves with the KAT trade

[baseline bum]

About time they call offensive on Randall

[heyheymymy]

damn Castle 3 downgraded to a 2

wtf it looks like a 3

[lefty20]

About time they call offensive on Randall

He's been using that off arm freely most of the game. Thought I was watching PG or Nephew out there.

[NASpurs]

damn Castle 3 downgraded to a 2

wtf it looks like a 3

The opposite actually

[100%duncan]

Hope we hold on tbh.

[baseline bum]

Branham's BBIQ is so low, it's like turning intelligence to 0 when you're making your character in Fallout. WTF Castle has the ball at the three point line and he's trying to get a screen from Collins and here's Branham's dumb ass standing right in the way and dragging his defender over too.

[Pauleta14]

Wemby with the worst possible linup smh

[baseline bum]

Is it me or does Jacob sound like Peggy Hill trying to speak Spanish?

[heyheymymy]

The opposite actually

yeah good call they overturned it back to a 3

[Strategic]

Come on Spurs

[CorrectCrusader]

It's so nice to play the timberwolves and not get ass raped by KAT for 40 like he used to do. They're a weak team now.

[NASpurs]

Feels good to see high BBIQ when Castle plays

[ginobilized]

I'm not mad that Wesley hasn't played

[baseline bum]

I'm not mad that Wesley hasn't played

Ugh if this is a jinx post :lol

[LeBowen]

Going to be a close one.

[Thomas82]

As soon as Wemby went out they cut it to 11.

[Spurs Brazil]

Dumb decision by Johnson. Why go small now. That was stupid

[baseline bum]

Dumb decision by Johnson. Why go small now. That was stupid

Bend over, I'll show you Johnson going small... wait nm

[100%duncan]

Barnes and CP3 BBIQ

[timtonymanu]

Much different having Chris Paul vs Tre/Sochan/Branham at point.

[Dejounte]

Barnes Champagnie chemistry niceee

[Strategic]

This is about where the wolves came back last night and beat the nuggets. Let’s see if the Spurs can hold on.

[baseline bum]

CP3 making the kind of pinpoint passes we haven't seen in San Antonio since Manu retired. That one he dropped off to Sochan a couple of minutes ago was so filthy.

[skin27]

Play welby so that he can pad his stats. Dumb coach!

[poopbox]

That's an offensive foul on Reid AND all ball swipe by Victor but somehow Reid gets 2 freethrows

[lefty20]

Barnes turning back the clock. A few hours too early, but I'll allow it.

[heyheymymy]

jeez Barnes going nuts out there

CP3 and Barnes were great additions to SA

[baseline bum]

That's an offensive foul on Reid AND all ball swipe by Victor but somehow Reid gets 2 freethrows

Ball don't lie

[timtonymanu]

Barnes giving me Bobo vibes on that drive

[Pauleta14]

That's an offensive foul on Reid AND all ball swipe by Victor but somehow Reid gets 2 freethrows

Why no challenge??

[heyheymymy]

Dilly sighting!

[baseline bum]

WTF Finch? How do you have a prospect as promising as Dillingham and these are his first minutes in the NBA?

[skin27]

Wemby looking like a role player out there

[timtonymanu]

CP3 really helps elevate Sochan’s game. We need it.

[heyheymymy]

hell yes Bassey mins!

[lefty20]

Wemby completely gassed. Shots are short and bro had to fight demons to get back up on his feet.

[vander]

Pop out, Spurs Win!

[timtonymanu]

Pretty good win!

[gambit1990]

15 / 13 / 4 by cp3. one turnover and that shot clock violation wasn't his fault.

[Seventyniner]

Solid W.

Calling it a scheduled L made no sense though. The Wolves were on a back to back on the road and the Spurs had a day of rest. That's about as close to a scheduled W against a good team as is possible.

[skin27]

Sochan had a better game than wemby lol

[jeebus]

WTF Finch? How do you have a prospect as promising as Dillingham and these are his first minutes in the NBA?

Probably a combo of Finch being a shit coach and Dilly being a 90 lb scrub

[CorrectCrusader]

CP3 could've had like 20 assists if our players didn't get butterfingers in the 3rd and 4th

[Seventyniner]

CP3 swapping jerseys with Dilly :lol

One of those things is not like the other.

[100%duncan]

Great win damn. We always match up well vs the Wolves

[CorrectCrusader]

Sochan had a better game than wemby lol

Statwatcher

[Strategic]

Already thinking the teams really gonna miss Paul when he retires.

[skin27]

Statwatcher


stats are important for individual accolades. Wemby wont sniff alstar game with that kind of stats lol

[Spurs Brazil]

Great win. Paul is amazing. Also a nice game by Barnes

[Dejounte]

Already thinking the teams really gonna miss Paul when he retires.

Hopefully they absorb his brain before he retires

Paul just called this team a really talented team “contrary to what people say out there”. CP3 reads ST confirmed

[LeBowen]

First game of the season with no dry spells, everyone did their job except Collins.
Branham was tasked with a job he shouldn't be doing.

Before the game I wrote this will be the real test for our defense and they did great. Held them to under 100pts before scrubs came in.
Yeah, they were on a b2b, but still. Gobert ran off the floor yet again.

If we can get a proper backup big and one more good shooter, we might be onto something.

[RC_Drunkford]

That might‘ve been the best basketball this team has played in the last 3 years. And of course Pop had to be sick that day, what a coincidence

[Dex]

Already thinking the teams really gonna miss Paul when he retires.

Dude perfectly managed the end of this game.

Slow down the dribble. Use the clock. Make smart passes.

I feel like the young guys feel like they have to play at 100 MPH all the time.

[timtonymanu]

Sochan had a better game than wemby lol

He's arguably been our best player despite Wemby's 5x5.

[Dejounte]

Hopefully Sochan stays at this level for good. That’s a really nice piece to have and without a doubt a nice starter next to Wemby.

[baseline bum]

Already thinking the teams really gonna miss Paul when he retires.

Hopefully can get 2-3 more years of CP3. Will still be nice to have him as a steady hand off the bench as Castle transitions into starting PG in a year or two.

[onechance87]

stats are important for individual accolades. Wemby wont sniff alstar game with that kind of stats lol

whats messing up his stats is taking stupid shots.

[TheBallsbreakers]

stats are important for individual accolades. Wemby wont sniff alstar game with that kind of stats lol
That all you can think about after a win? Pathetic.

[onechance87]

cp3 was right when he said he is a starting pg.

[Uriel]

Winning this game after the dramatic Nuggets-Wolves game the night before was actually quite foreseeable.

[scott]

Really great example tonight what this time can do when things click, and specifically when we get production out of Keldon’s role on the team. Unfortunately, Keldon is not consistent at all. If we were serious about winning (which I still think we should be), I think upgrading Keldon would do wonders.

Collins was still garbage and I don’t understand why we are still getting Point Branham minutes, but it was a great win.

Thought Wemby played much better than he did against Utah, despite a less impressive stat line. He was truly game changing with his interior defense and created fantastic gravity on the offensive end without forcing too much. Still a few ill advised threes, but I’d say it was closer to the right amount (as opposed to 13 versus Utah).

[scott]

And yeah… CP3 was great tonight. We got 2012 CP3 tonight, and it made a huge difference. That PnR game with Sochan was so money tonight.

Hope this new Sochan is the real Sochan, he’s been awesome.

[John B]

CP3 is really very good with this squad, how he directs people. The guys are just getting smarter every game.

And yeah… CP3 was great tonight. We got 2012 CP3 tonight, and it made a huge difference. That PnR game with Sochan was so money tonight.

Hope this new Sochan is the real Sochan, he’s been awesome.

He looked washed on Golden State. Idk if it's just because our roster lacks talent or CP is more motivated but I'm glad he can still hoop. Was almost expecting him to be like a Jacque Vaughn kind of production.

I think CP3 is genuinely enjoying mentoring the young squad, with him getting much autonomy to direct people.

Mitch played Branham at point, so he didn‘t have to play Sochan and Castle together to mess up the spacing. Something Pop would never think of.

I think we’re going to get ups and downs with CP3. The BBIQ will be there consistently, but the physical abilities might not be night and night out… just what happens at that age, but he’ll still be a positive. Hopefully both he and the staff will be able to have the awareness to see the nights he doesn’t have it and throttle the minutes accordingly.

GS is a movement offense, CP3 is much more structured and ball control style

Chris Paul is going to get some really nice compensation when we trade him to a contender later in the year. Hopefully the team really picks his brain before then
