Portland for the 2nd time in 5 days. Let's get it.

They'll be looking for revenge, but LMA's gonna shut the door once again. I predict another block on Lillard.

8-2 record after this game.

[SupremeGuy]

Hopefully we get Kawhi and Manu back for the game...

[spursistan]

Blazers lost 5th in a row..and back to bottom-dwelling zone as expected before the season once their 3s stopped falling...We need at least Kawhi back for this one..

[BillMc]

Wahoo!!!!

(And thanks to OP for the return of Riga time!)

If Boban plays spurs win by 11..
If Boban sits Spurs win by 5..

Yup. Smh everybody wetting their undies after their start. It happens every year with a team.

Its sad, but I think Pop has chosen to use Boban only in garbage time this season .... unless two of our other bigs are out I do not see him getting enough burn to actually evaluate his usefulness

That's what it'll be for now. I think the priority is getting Diaw/Duncan/West/LMA playing time to get some familiarity there. While Boban is skilled and might be useful, it's more important to get the main guys meaningful minutes. Once things are looking good, and Pop starts resting TD and Co., Boban will start to see more mins probably.

Splitter barely played his first year or so here, a lot of it is watching whats happening on the court too.

Agree with most points, but Splitter averaged 13min in his 1st season (nearly 17min in the playoffs) although he missed training camp. He was a rotation player in his first season.

Yea that's true, he did miss camp. Didn't realize it was that high either, but maybe we were just so bad ass, garbage time came early and often lol... It's still early though, hopefully it'll gradually increase for Boban. I'm curious to see what he can do

[JeffDuncan]

Both are listed as "probable."

[From Downtown]

Manu and Kawhi both at shootaround

[spursistan]

[apalisoc_9]

So no more sick euro steps ?

[spursistan]

might sit Ginobili again..Blazers are sucking and Kawhi playing would be enough to get W, tbh..

[BatManu20]

Wahoo!!!!
