But either way, I'd gladly take Kawhi pulling off a 2011 Dirk :toast

Spurs match up pretty well with Cleveland tbh, I could see them winning. Question is can they get past the Clippers and other teams with athletic bigs. Thought OKC wouldn't be a problem this year but I'm starting to think they'll be just as bad; Houston is proving to be an issue tonight too.

This Spurs team stinks. I hate poor defense. Cannot stand it. This is looking very 2010/2011 on defense so far this season.

Watch Pop start with Pau and LA in the second half and the Rockets get to a 15 pts lead 3 minutes in.

GDefense...

The defense can't be this bad all year.

:lol You know the routine. Smh!

I think some games we should start David Lee and bring Aldridge off the bench. NOt every game, but some games. Aldridge just seems lazy sometimes

That team made up for it by shooting lights out and moving the ball well-enough. This team might not be top 5 in offense or defense, making it more similar to the 08-10 teams.

I wouldn't call it defense.

Why the hell are our defenders always a mile and a half away from the 3pt line?
Its like teams just camp out there and get wide open looks with zero effort

LMA/Gasol cannot remain on the court together for extended minutes. If you can't bring one of them off the bench, fine, but bring in Lee or Dedmon earlier than the 6/7 min mark.

I think with Kevin Durant out of the mix Spurs will be fine against OKC. Of course we will have to see how that plays out. In regards to Cleveland Tristan Thompson and Kyrie Irving are a massive headache for the Spurs. Even JR Smith turns into Larry Bird sometimes. Spurs will need Aldridge to play the best basketball of the season to have a chance. I haven't even gotten to LeBron yet.

Anyways, I suppose it's so early to be discussing this, and my biggest concern is the defense let alone other matchups.

Spurs still think Harden will always drive to the basket and try to draw a foul :lol

Kyrie gives everyone headaches these days tbh, but Green gives the Spurs a better chance than most at containing him. Thompson is easier to gameplan against and with the Spurs' bench bigs being much better rebounders this season I like their chances. As for Lebron, obviously Kawhi plays him better than anyone else in the league so there's reason to hope there. Roleplayers are always a wild card (seems like everyone's outplay the Spurs' these days though).

Pop speaks with Harden, Harden in SAS confirmed

How the fuck is watching harden enjoyable? He's ruining basketball.

Sloppy shit leads to a 3.
