Preseason: Spurs vs Heat - 7:30 PM -- 10/18/14

You never know how good spurs are, really, until 1st round of playoffs. They either lose the 1st round or go (at least) to Conf. Finals.

If people are expecting Cory to be a star, you are going to hate him. But he's already proven on more than one occassion and in big moments, that he has game. He has things to work on (namely consistency/confidence), but he has more than enough tools to be a very, very good back up.

Back ups shouldn't be in the position to have to win games or come up large in crunch time.

I don't understand Corey Joseph. Ive seen him twice be freakin awesome, both times in the playoffs, but the rest of the time hes a big meh. Why the difference? Is Pop holding him back?

Yeah thanks for highlights. I think his shot looks better for sure. Hes not leaning back.

Pop isn't really doing anything. He's just been up and down because he is really young and there is a lot of competition on a championship level team. He's not a star, nor will he be. But he does everything solid with some flashes of big game competitive spirit.

The one thing KA needs to work on is not letting his man make baseline cuts, needs to stay closer to cut off the angle behind him.

But he can't defend on an Island like Lock-n-Lock can.

I agree with you and that's why I believe that he will be our 6th man "a la Manu" in the future. It's much easier to hide him defensively if he plays off the bench and he would have way more freedom to create and play to his strengths.
