Game Thread: Spurs vs. Clippers - 1/15/22 — 7:30pm CST

I know the ST consensus on him, but boy am I hoping the Spurs extend him... He's great as a bench scoring option, and his athleticism and game is so pleasing to watch. Even his misses look smooth. He's got that unpredictability that makes him fun... I stand by my $10m/per pricing. He's not at his ceiling yet.

I agree, I just hope no team tries to overpay and snatch him away. People here are impatient, the guy just turned 23. There's plenty room for improvement and we are already seeing thim improve in a couple of areas. Plus working with Manu seems to have done wonders for him

I really like the lineup rotation in this game. It has been solid.

tbh Pop plays a lot of line-ups with Primo at 3 that it doesn’t make it impossible for Lonnie to come back. Just gotta bench him when he makes stupid mistakes.

[RC_Drunkford]

why are we getting killed by coffee?

[Thomas82]

The Clippers don't have much. Count this as a W for the Spurs.

[Dejounte]

Look at DJ’s body language after Drew ed up that play LOL damn, he’s ing pissed and he really doesn’t like Drew

I see it more as

PG: Murray/White
SG: Walker/Primo
SF: Keldon/Vassell

Obviously he can play the SGs at SF, so even if Murray and White start together it makes sense

You know, besides being damn right, you make an interesting point. Pop has been playing Primo, seemingly, mostly at the 3 so far... I didn't look too close, but he did it this game too. Where's the "time spent at X position" data when you need it?! Lol. Anyways, the value of a point-forward Primo is much better than combo-guard Primo, and if he really isn't done growing... Sheesh. He's already looking like he could be incredible value for the Spurs, his floor seems to be a 3&D type.

Spurs giving the sniffers reason to sniff

Jock was massive on the boards and provided on offense. the find by DJ where Jock had the seal on his man in the keyway we need to see more off.

Wow the empty seats.

[KobesAchilles]

Wow the empty seats.

Tickets are pretty expensive tbh. LA is a massive draw even without Kawhi so it’s not surprising to see empty seats due to high ticket prices . I’m thinking about going to the Rockets game here in Houston vs the Spurs but I gotta check the couch cushions for that $9

https://www.basketball-reference.com...1/lineups/2022

He has approx 118 total minutes in non garbage time or among the top 10 line-ups in minutes spent

of those 118 minutes, he played 104 minutes at the 3. So 88% of the time he’s played, it’s at the 3.

Thank you Landale.

[Slippy]

Man how refreshing. A bigman that makes you pay when you send him to the FT line

[NASpurs]

When did Keldon become automatic from the FT line?

[NASpurs]

Clips look like they're taking practice 3s during shoot around.

[RC_Drunkford]

Spurs giving up way too many offensive boards

[MultiTroll]

Nice banker Vassell to stop the drought.

FFS giving up treys to Ibaka.

[SpurPadre]

I'm glad the Clippers have been so awful this year. One less hated team to root against.

Isn’t Load Management still expected to play this season or will he pull the same pussy he’s known for and hide in NY?

[poopbox]

I see Ibaka still never misses against the spurs

[Manong Ginobili]

Abaka going 2012 WCF

[NASpurs]

Hoping for a moral victory tonight.

Tank is ready to be deployed tbh.
