Game Thread: 2020 Preseason Game 3: Spurs at Rockets 7 PM CST (20:00 EST, 03:00 RIGA TIME)

[GB20]

Everybody is abusing Mill tonight.

[BackHome]

We Tanking just sit back and enjoy the ride.

[tholdren]

LaMarcus will get traded, hopefully

[TimDunkem]

^What does Randy have to say about it?

[RC_Drunkford]

Jakob Poeltl 2 PTS 3 RB -4
LaMarcus Aldridge 6 PTS 5 RB -26

Drew Eubanks 9 PTS 3 RB +12

[GAustex]

It will be like Hooisers
Break em down and then build them up
Time the peak

[Dejounte]

it's more than that.

-3 point shooting in general will be super up and down cause we only have 2 consistent shooters in Mills and Vassell
- starting PF has been an inssue for 3 years, they need a mobile 3-and-D PF with shotblocking ability a la Jeramie Grant to make this work
- BBall IQ in general is super low on this team. A lot of very stupid players with tunnel vision who don't know how to pass
- Walker being bad
- Murray not being able to run point or finish in traffic
- Poeltl not being able to score on smaller players
- FIBA Patty will frustrate a lot of us by jacking up a bunch of bad shots cause he thinks he has to score 30
- Defense in general is garbage when you start 2 defensive liabilities at the forward positions. You can't do that in the NBA
- Line ups cause of coach Flopovich

I could go on and on

You're still talking about the team in general, man. Again, I'm just talking about tonight lol.

And a lot of your points I covered already.

You said starting PF is bad, I said Aldridge and Lyles are bad
You said Walker is bad, I said Walker is bad
You said forward defense is bad in general, I basically said that by saying Aldridge is a liability on defense and Lyles too

These aren't points you are adding lol

I do agree about Mills. Always will have.

Also, what line-ups would you prefer?

Vassell taking Lonnie's starting spot? We still have to see what Lonnie can give...
DeMar coming off the bench? Lol
DeMar at PF? I won't be surprised if we see that more. We had him there some tonight.

[313]

, he might be the best player when its all said and done.

Hes looking like the other Devin in Phoenix. Had similar college numbers as Book too.

[Chomag]

Best thing we have gotten out of the preseason so far is that Vessel is a legit NBA player

[stephen jackson]

Hate this in team somehow it’s still old af and ancient

[313]

Jakob Poeltl 2 PTS 3 RB -4
LaMarcus Aldridge 6 PTS 5 RB -26

Drew Eubanks 9 PTS 3 RB +12

Eubanks getting demolished on defense.

The roster stinks.

#TankForCade

[spurraider21]

Keldon/Vassell are going to be a nice wing duo

[Darius Bieber]

Even though pre-season means nothing (Detroit Lions went 3-0 in NFL preseason prior to their historic 0-16 season), it’s worrisome how horrible we look as a cohesive unit.

Thomas posterizes Lyles AND Ewwbanks.

[Robz4000]

Apparently the Spurs had been watching him for two years now, and drafting is the only thing PATFO are still good at.

Aldridge is not a forward he's playing Center. If you want to start Aldridge as Center you better put a PF on the floor who can hide his deficiencies, so you need a shotblocker. There's no way you're winning games by starting DeRozan and Gay. Gay is as slow footed as LMA.

Starters should clearly be White/Vassell/Johnson/DeRozan/Aldridge. Vassell is a better shooter and offball player than Walker. DeRozan at PF because Lyles and Gay are garbage and can't do anything better on defense than DeMar. So you might as well slide DeMar to PF and have a defender at SF out there in Keldon Johnson. That would also give you a lot of mismatches on offense and the team could really run in transition. Of course Pop won't do none of that

[Robz4000]

This would definitely be the season for the Spurs to tank hard so hopefully this level of play (or lack thereof) translates into the regular season.

[Dejounte]

One of our highest paid players had 6 points and 5 rebounds tonight. LMA is a joke. The NBA has passed him by.

[Chomag]

Lyle's

[TimDunkem]

Apparently the Spurs had been watching him for two years now, and drafting is the only thing PATFO are still good at.

Just ignore the whole Puka, Lonnie, and DJM thing

[RC_Drunkford]

LMA is the only player on the entire team who has blocked shots. 3. The rest of the team has 0

[murpjf88]

Eubanks and Lyles are hot garbage. Spurs gifting those two NBA contracts.

That's the thing, innit?

Yo, I am going to have to clown this team to keep from crying unless Derrick, Keldon, and Devin manage to save us.

I apologize in advance for toxicity this year.

Spurs are the NBA Make-A-Wish team at this point. Just get on Pop's good side and you're in for life.

[Robz4000]

Lonnie is still a solid gamble for where he was at, and Murray was the 30th pick tbh. Agree on Sammich though.
