Sochan and Stanley standouts.
I don't see why Stanley can't keep it up in the future.
He's even a solid choice for next yrs rotation.

It's hard to pay attention to our team when we just get beat so badly. Let alone do grades. Thanks again.
First game I got to watch live in a while. If Sochan can shoot even close to how he did tonight regularly he's an all star tbh.
For a 15th guy , Stanley Johnson is actually showing something. Compare his stats to the last 15th guy we had and it makes sense to play him more, besides some player is always hurt or kept out of the line up for whatever reason. Stanley is making good use of his time, whether its to remain here or for his next gig.
He’s like a bigger version of Romeo. Kind of waiting for the carriage to turn back into a pumpkin with his shooting, though. Based on his career marks, this won’t last.
We lost by 9. Perhaps dial back the drama a bit.
Did we just draft an All D candidate 6’9” PG?
I noticed Pop pulled all the players who were playing well with like 2:45 left in a game where the momentum had clearly swung. That was still a winnable game. Hmm...
Branham - The confidence seems fully there with the shot now. I don't find myself cringing as much at the defense. Next steps are to learn that this team doesn't need him to exist in the margins, but to actively seek his spots and score. If he maintains a general 10-14 ppg for the rest of the season, that would be a huge first year for him. His potential to score is high.
Vassell - Next step, if he can get there, is to score and produce no matter what. McCollum insisted on taking over the game when they were dragging; he was unstoppable. Vassell isn't the same natural scorer, but to move up he needs to learn how to take on the productive load. Can he do this?
Stanley Johnson - If this continues (if), how was he not on a team? Even if he loses his shot, he's a dynamic player who does heady, possession-turning stuff regularly. No joke this game turned on a dime when he came in, the lead ballooned when he came out, went back down when he came back. He needs minutes ahead of KBD.
Sochan - Is this an image of the future? Goodness. A big, aggressive PF who is fleet as a SF, fluid and strong enough to get into the lane against anyone smaller than him and blow past anyone larger. He has good court awareness and vision and his handles are already good, esp. for his size. Next step for him is realizing this team needs him and it's his team as much as any. Once he does, and I think that's happening, it transforms the Spurs. His point of attack is almost... anywhere?
To be fair, the final score was a lot closer than the actual game. Spurs were down 20 after 1 and never really threatened NOP until the 4th briefly until CJ all over them. aside from a couple mins in the 4th, SA was never really in this game
I wonder when people will realize at this point it's less about winning than developing individual and team skills?
Any info on tre jones hand getting injured by that dirty play?
on any other team jones would be out maybe a game
on the spurs im thinking jones might be out 3-4 weeks?
If it weren’t for CJ, this would have been an unfortunate win. Even with him stroking, we were +10 in the second half. We lost but tbdog was overly dramatic about it.
No . my response to exstatic was regarding his comment that we only lost by 9 when someone said it was hard to watch the team this season. my point was the game was not as close as the final score. i dont give a about winning games, i want them to lose as much as possible
you could say the same thing for us - if it weren't for Sochan we lose by 40+. hypothetical exercises are pointless. Spurs were outclassed from the moment the game tipped off and NOP was missing their two best players. it's not being dramatic, it's just factual imho
Throw out all hypotheticals, then. We lost by nine. That’s not some terrible awful loss. In fact it’s the best kind: single digits and compe ive.
“Sticktoitiveness” - well done, sir!
Insightful comments, as usual. That kid with the prismatic hair continues to fascinate. I wonder how good he’ll become.
People was meant to refer to people generally.No . my response to exstatic was regarding his comment that we only lost by 9 when someone said it was hard to watch the team this season. my point was the game was not as close as the final score. i dont give a about winning games, i want them to lose as much as possible
You got me at sticktoitiveness
fair enough i guess, but we both know this loss wasnt particularly compe ive minus a 4-5 minute stretch out of 48 minutes
Spurs were never in this game. NO clearly are the better team.
Lucky to cut it to 9 on the final gun to make the game look closer.
It's not even about the loss differential. tbdog said the team was hard to watch cause they don't win and I disagree. They could lose by 21 and if Sochan and Stanley and crew are generating such novel data I don't care how much they lose by. Hey, the team is tanking, gonna be some losses.
The real question is, how was the development? Especially when SA has projects at nearly every slot on the roster right now. There's prob gonna be some significant showcasing and growth every game. That's been a surprising thrill for me this year. I'm enjoying the process. The kids are doing their part by coming with new tricks almost every game to keep it interesting. I'm here for the extrapolation.
They need to pass it to the post more for Sochan. He’s money down there.
that finish off contact with the friendly bounce on the rim for that and-1 was some prime time from Sochan
incredible touch
People about not tanking, then they about not being competetive, then they barely understand that the piont is developing the players and seeing change. A couple weeks ago the team was horrendous and didn't look watchable at all. Now, we have Branham and Sochan showing signs of moving forward and that's great.
Let's all pick a lane. If you're team-tank or are okay with losing, either don't watch the games and stay away or watch the games and don't about them. If you're, somehow, thinking this team will make the play-in, then go ahead a watch and .
