Fun loss

I'll be a little steamed if Mamukelashvili and Champagnie aren't on the squad next year. Mamu seems like a lock. I'd think JC is, too.

Here's a game where we see Blake Wesley's promise. He really played within himself, grasped the game in between the three point line and rim much better. This made him aware of help defense and got to him to more be effective and dangerous. He was measured, had better control of pace. On the other side, he played pesky defense. If he can achieve this future, he's going to find himself.

Another embarrassment is more apropos. We just gave up Minnesota's franchise record for points and season high 24 3 pt shots.

At no time ever is a 20 pt home loss averaging 38 pts surrendered per quarter a fun game.

After this disaster of a game I’m sure the fans of Austin are clamoring for the team to move there now! Well played, Spurs.

SpursTalk: We've gotta do everything to tank for Wemby.

Also SpursTalk: We lost. What the .

Thanks for the grades. 151 with 42 assists...impressive.

Almost everyone is A but Spurs lost by 20 pts. While Spurs are tanking, should their grading be compared with average NBA players

**horseshue** · 04-09-2023

6 of 9 players getting A on a record breaking blowout loss. Allowing opponent to score 150+pts is now considered a good performance. Wtf?

The grades are for the expectations of what each player SHOULD produce. You’re grading KBD, not the NBA power forward position.

Sure, and we all appreciate timvp grades, but you should still have an overall and comparative judgment of what you should expect from an NBA player on any given night... There's an opponent after all, in what is supposed to be a team effort, this isn't a workout, and you judge how players do versus that opponent, individually and collectively. 2/3 of a team getting an A after for non existing in a 20 blowout loss may lack a bit of perspective, not to mention Minny barely tried the whole the game. It was a little walk in Austin for them.

The Spurs played like one starter, two rookies, a bunch of cast-offs, and Giogiu Dieng. The played pretty well, and didn't even play horrible defense, Minnesota just hit a wild number of shots. Welcome to the new NBA.

Can't believe people are ing about player grades the second to last game of the season.

Alternatively, that's just called discussing and debating. Not every argument is ery. That just means (some) people read and somehow care about those gmaes enough to give their humble opinion.

It's not really discussion, is it? It's just weird whining. The season is almost over. They're playing third string guys.

If you want those type of grades, then do them yourself.
