Especially since Tony will be even worse on defense than he already was... Get Murray in game shape and accustomed to playing against these NBA teams or we will find ourselves in the same position as last year, Tony bottoming out in the playoffs and relying on Patty trash and an inexperienced Murray

Unless we do go with Dijon AND he responds, I agree a we are sunk. Unless we can make a trade - or two.

We are going to have to wait to see what's out there in January. I think Patty's and Pau's contracts can't be traded until then and also, by then Tony and Kawhi will be back and PATFO will know better how things look. Also, teams that are underperforming could start to want to jettison someone. Bryn either becomes a guaranteed contract, or he doesn't by January as well... so that's the time the team would make any moves.

Just missing a team that can shoot a FG% over 40%

I also thought we were going to see more ball movement...so much for even a hint of “the beautiful game”

Yeah, correct or not, December 15 is the date I have in mind. I must admit that I never anticipated Parker's return as much as I do. So much depends on whether he can perform decently.

That was the hope. But that is a tall order when the best player you can put on the floor is Touches.

I think it's a good sign the Spurs who have been short handed can get 10-20pt leads against GSW...

Problem is holding that lead...hopefully Kawhi and Parker can help with that..

Haven't you heard? Paddy's back!

I have high hopes on the Spurs. We had the lead just we needed to keep it. Kawhi lockdown on Durant and we had the game. This just makes the revenge even more sweeter. I'm disappointed with Patty and he needs to get better or his minutes are going to BP3 and Forbes. And they should start benching him so he would work on getting it back. Gaining weight after getting paid is a disappointment. I don't know if he was trying to build his body like CP3 I don't know. I don't get Pau's signing. That should've gone to Dedmon or to an athletic big. Jeoffrey is getting those minutes when he gets back. I really like Gay's upper body strength. I mean he looked better posting Draymond. And he doesn't really easily pushed out of position easily, unlike LMA who gets pushed outside of paint and settles on fadeaway shots. A healthier Gay on starting 4 will really be something. That gives Davis his minutes back. I mean Pau is okay against some teams. All said, can't wait for a healthy Spurs. I think we have a shot at it. Go Spurs Go! :flag:

I think Kawhi when back is a closer. I think Rudy when fully acclimated is a closer. Manu was once a great closer and can have flashbacks. LMA will be in the closing lineup. The remaining player depends on matchups.

Honestly think this Spurs team matches up quite well with anybody, just need Kawhi back & Rudy needs to play more small ball 4 or even Kyle.

to close the game, Parker, Green, Kawhi, Gay and LMA. And sub Manu or even BP3 for Parker for defense against bigger and athletic guards. BP3 signing is really great. He can play guard and let Kawhi play point forward. This Spurs team can really match well.

Aside from a closer, they need guys that can break the game open wit the three. Every team has them. The warriors have about 4 of them. Obviously, makes life so much easier for your team

So far the only guy putting his hand up is Forbes. Great breakout game against the hornets. Great to see pop reward with extra mins.
