Fickle spurs fans were blasting dude a week ago…. Classic
He had some really boneheaded passes during that big Wolves run,but overall he was a big plus.

Great stuff from Devin. I did say he was our best player in the play-in game. I felt he was one of the only players to show up in the biggest game of the season on the road against a pretty good team. Don't really care what Dejounte did during the regular season as I put more stock in that one game as I'm used to guys like Tim, Manu, Tony raising it up in the playoffs. Having said that, I'll give Dejounte a pass as he was out sick in prior games, but Devin showed me a lot in the play-in game mentality wise. The kid is looking great and confident out there. Love to see it.

He looks way better than game 1. Self-assured, gets his shots. I'd love him to be even more aggressive, but then when the team is moving the ball around like this plenty of points will come his way.
That pass then reposition for a 3 was Ray Allen-isque
His off the dribble pull up game is coming along very well and there's still so much room for improvement. Very promising
What strikes me the most is his passing abilities improvement.
Dammit John B
And Devin barely scratched the surface.
I can’t wait to see him and Branham trash defenses! We may be cooking with Crisco!!
Damn those two have the smoothest strokes and play so well without the ball. And don’t forget Blake who can break defenses, once he polished his game.
The meltdown inside Dejounte's head if Vassell wins MIP after him getting snubbed last year and his comments about nobody paying attention to what happens in San Antonio.
I like how you're thinking.... that would be a "beautiful game" lolThe meltdown inside Dejounte's head if Vassell wins MIP after him getting snubbed last year and his comments about nobody paying attention to what happens in San Antonio.
Devin seems to be playing to his strengths. I think that's one of the main differences to the earlier games, including in pre-season. I think he saw that he isn't ready to lead the team and take people off the dribble and do other things that he likely worked on in the off-season, but it can improve over time. For now, he gets his points in the flow through movement and team play. Nothing wrong with that.
If DV gets MIP I vote for John B to win Spurs Talk MVP 2022-2023.
I’m telling you bruh. If Devin continues this he has a pretty good chance. And Keldon too gets an AS nod. What the heck, Pop gets another COY if Spurs record close to decent. But heck, I rather get Victor or Scoot
I really like our PG - Tre, Primo, Blake - I will be keeping on Blake in Austin because he could be easily our best complete player if he can make the transition to be a PG. I still think Primo will be best as a combo guard but I am also expecting him to get better as the season goes. Then at SG you got Vassell, Branham, Primo that is a solid core on any team. Then at PF we got Sochan, and Roby - I have high hope for Roby but will see how the season goes.
If we fall out of a top 9 draft pick then I would definitely look at SF, and Center - If Poodle is not going to sign then we have to draft a Center, if he stays yeah best player but would look at SF and Center for depth
I’m completely down on your assessment. It sounds like you’re not expecting this roster finishing bottom 3. Part of me wishing for a chance at the Victor/Scoot sweepstakes, part of me wishing this current continues to overachieve. What better way to improve than getting rewarded with a W? I really like our young core. I think if Keldon/Devin/Sochan develop into AS caliber players, then a solid role players of Poeltl, Tre, Primo, Roby, Branham and Wesley would be awesome if they all make the leap. I even like keeping JRich.
But I think if the trend is 25 wins or less, then I would try to lose as much games due to health (wink wink). It’s a balance where you can take this current roster this season, and when to decide it’s better to get a better draft position.
He isn't playing tomorrow against the Bulls either which is a surprise.
Has the exact injury been disclosed? I hope he's alright.
Both Devin and Primo will still be out tomorrow.
Knee soreness in a 22 yo ain’t ideal tbh. Let’s hope it was a knock to the knee like a knee on knee as opposed to non-contact soreness.
yeah just saw that he will miss the chicago game as well ...
He's been pretty durable so far. I hope that continues.
I would not be surprised if there are a lot of games missed this season by various players. While it is not load management in the classic sense of giving a star/vet some rest, but just a way of keeping the development going for players who would not typically be getting game experience. The injury to Vassell has been vague, basically a sore knee. It sounds like the type of injury a player would play through normally. Or glute spasms for Primo?
Later in the season Sochan and other recent draftees should be hitting the rookie wall. Sitting a player for the mildest thing allows for real NBA game time for others on the roster to develop (or not) and hopefully minimizes the impact of the grind of the regular season. Since the goal to focus on improving and if oh, by the way, the team has a bad enough record to score a top three pick, that's gravy.
All I am saying is I am skeptical Vassell cannot play.
