Could not watch due to no FSSW on Dish Network = No game recap from me.
Set repeat to "On" for the rest of the restart most likely except for games on national broadcast...
gotta unload that fat sulky POS muh touches too

I don’t really think Luka is a bust even though I comment that lol but imo it is frustrating that a guy like Brandon Clarke was available and we took Luka. I’m just expecting the worst from Luka and hoping for the best
Walker White Murray and Johnson looked ok.
I LOL’d as soon a Beli checks in-dude goes right by him for a layup I could have made.
Young wings are Ok.
No Forbes-wow
Turn DDR Forbes and Beli into 2 6’ 7” dudes who can defend and shoot a bit and a 6’9” dude tough guy.
I disagree. I still think he will be a good player. If he is not doing beter more consistently next year then i might join but right now I still see him with the potential to be good.
Even with a bad shooting night, Derrick White finishes with 5 rebounds, 5 assists, 3 steals, 3 blocks, and a team leading +17.
Iguodala was the 6th man playing starter's minutes on the team with the best regular season record in the history of the NBA. Before that, he averaged 15+ppg, 5+ rpg, & 5+apg for multiple seasons with Philly. I'd be thrilled if DJ had a career like AI's.

Underrated on point comment. I had forgotten about this. It can’t be a coincidence.
Clear chemistry between Poetl and Lonnie. These two need to be in the same line-up at all times.
Then the chemistry between DJ and Keldon.
White just fits with anyone.
The great poop could not see that not playing Forbes gave his team a better chance to win.
The great poop also signed broke down worthless DeMarre Carroll who is still getting paid by Holt while “playing” for the Rockets
The great poop
Derrick White is that dude. He greatly affects the game on D and O.
If he reverts and is hesitant to shoot next game because he missed some buckets tonight I am going to lose my .
I want to mention Lonnie and Keldon's budding chemistry, which hasn't been talked about yet and was glaring today. Both seem to be friends off the court, and already play up to each other's strengths - I've seen Keldon whip up a pass to an open Lonnie at the 3pt line, and that bounce pass from Lonnie on the fastbreak just in time for Keldon's dunk was straight up filthy. Both guys are visibly developing their playmaking skills, setting up other players (which is something the team sorely needs if they're ever going to move on from DeRozan), and just pushing the pace in general. Eventually I'd like Pop/Becky/whoever to force both of them to play more half-court sets as ballhandlers, get some reps in PnR situations, get better at reading the defense. But this aggressive, fast-paced, transition style offense that they seem to be gunning for is a breath of fresh air for sure.
Also, the vets need to ing step aside. I hate that more than anything. Marco, DeMar, Rudy (even though he had a good game today) all ing force shots when there's better plays available. Sometimes it seems to be by design, like the young players are only allowed to drive&kick until the ball ends up on a vet with the clock winding down for a forced shot. It doesn't help that DJ is almost as scared to shoot the ball as Luka is to be on the court in general, and White tends to play passive on offense. Keldon in that regard, is a sight for sore eyes, he doesn't give a what you think and is gonna take it to the rim.
I don't know why people are so low on our young core. They seem to be actively trying to shake off the old vets on the team, like they know it's dead weight. Hopefully the FO realizes this, because the signs can't get much more obvious. We might not win so many games while the youngings develop, but it'll be more fun to watch than this and last year's Spurs teams, for sure.
Not just Spurs plenty of teams act like its 2010 not 2020 video game streamers have better setups than most sports media types.
Bryn is getting the star treatment now and was given a rest game before starting every game to finish the season. You all know this to be true!
Short term:
Do not play Forbes
Play Beli and Mills as little as possible
Long term:
Rid poop
rid ddr
rid forbes
rid beli
find some 6'7" dudes who can defend and run and hit a shot every now and then
find a 6'9" mobile bruiser dude
eventually phase Gay out or play very little to keep fresh for offense
eventually replace LMA
got to get rid of poop first
Them being more fun to watch may be more important than anything else. Spurs need revenue and aren't in position to have a team that can't win AND isn't fun to watch. I know I wasn't going to renew LeaguePass until this "development" thing started. Now I have a reason to watch this next 8 games and hopefully beyond.
Totally agree. I found myself forcefully watching a lot of games this season, just due to sheer fan will, because the team hasn't been very fun to watch. And it's not only that the offense is stagnant and predictable, whilst the defense pourous and embarrassing; it's that you just know the team is full of stupid ass players and vets, no lead is truly safe, and the playbook and style is outdated. At times it was more fun to muse on how the Spurs were going to drop the lead they had gained, and then watch it develop in real time, than it was to actively root for them to win.
The team/FO needs to open their ing eyes, this is the absolute perfect time to cut off the gangrene and start fresh. Drop the stone-age vets, make some moves, bring back Fiesta jerseys, start to market the team as a young run-and-gun, energetic group, and start selling people on future potential, development, something tangible. These past few seasons where the only reward at the finish line was another year for the PO streak, with a first round sweep or loss as the obvious and inevitable outcome, was an awful selling point marketing-wise. Especially for a franchise like the Spurs, whose fans are so accustomed to postseason success and a high bar of expectations.
If nothing else, they can absolutely control the jerseys. Everything else is some level of luck, but at least give us the Fiesta colors.
Dejounte is still the best defender on this team, it's just that he plays with Forbes, the worst defender in the league, Derozan, one of the worst defenders in the league, and LMA, who never switches onto a guard or really comes out of the paint to challenge anything. Keldon has looked good on defense in these scrimmages but put him out there against real nba starters and let him play with 2 awful defenders and a big who won't rotate and he will look bad to...
White is a more polished player but for the spurs to be a real championship contender they need Murray to run the team and make a leap offensively...White just athletically can't do things that Dejounte can...
Derrick is best defender.
Keldon can guard Short Luka and do a decent job at it.
Agreed. I have seen youtubers with better setups than a lot of these sports media types. I was schocked when Stephen A brought up in response to Jax's controversial statements that Jax actually had 10-20 Jewish people working on his set to operate his show No Smoke. That really surprised not the fact that they were jewish but he needed 10-20 people to run that show. I have seen youtubers sports guys run better video coverage inside of their living room than what Jax had on his show No Smoke.
Disagree. Murray wrecks havoc on passing lanes with his length (same manner as Kawhi) while Derrick is quicker and has actual fundamentals that he is able to stay in front of his man, making him the better on ball defender. Dejounte being more "athletic" is overstated.

Forms just needs to GTFO. Games are so much more fun to watch without midget g-leaguers who cant stay in front of anyone.
Few are mentioning it, but i thought our centers did a decent job today. Suprisingly, Eubanks wasnt hurting the team when he was on the floor.
