I'm rooting for them honestly. I still kinda like Blake. Either way, neither guy will be here for the longterm.the sniffers slobbering terrible players per par
Spurs basketball is back baby
Taking penalties without a goalkeeper.
It would be more interesting if they showed the footage of these same shots while facing minimal opposition. Because Victor, never in his life, shoots like this in game.
Dilly balled out last night. He couldn’t have gone to a better situation.
Just about everyone on last year's team had their value drop. Cedi's averages either stayed the same or dropped a bit, even though he was on a dog team. No one wants that on their team and the bad teams already have their tank commanders in place.
^ PATFO literally ran make a wish foundation the past 3 years. Created generational wealth for at least 10 guys who probably never would have found a place in the NBA if they weren’t such good ppl.
Of course, we're all rooting for them. Contrary to what some of the smooth brain sniffers think, criticizing your players doesn't mean you hate them and hope they fail. I would love for Blake and Malaki to step it up this year but nothing they've shown thus far gives me much hope and for Blake playing ok defense while being a complete non factor on offense is not a recipe for success in today's NBA especially for a guard
Mar Cow Mar, come on down! You’re the next contestant on the Alt is known!
Lolwat? You think that's an alt of mine?
Right, that's why the team added Paul and Castle. Neither has shown enough to warrant a rotational spot. Having a good offensive game every 4th outing (Brahnam) or being a solid perimeter defender that can occasionally create for others doesn't create enough value for a team trying to win.
To the dismay of a lot of haters and whiners here both will likely still see some court time. If either shows some improvement then it'll be huge for their chance at a longer NBA career, if not then they're on the path of a Kris Dunn or some such journeyman.

After two years of no pressure and unlimited opportunity Branham and Wesley combined make year 3 Walker IV look like all-nba talent.
Development doesn't work the same for every player. Also, Lonnie was a lottery pick with a higher ceiling than either Malaki or Blake.
They'll end up like Lonnie (4 teams in 4 years) if they don't show more and the Spurs will continue to churn through prospects. Just like OKC, Orlando, Detroit, Houston and every other team trying to compete.
Agreed. Not complaining this is par for the course. Branham will never have the length, first step or defensive prowess Blake potentially posses. Blake might be able to find an offensive niche however. I don’t see both sticking around after this year however. Maybe one.
Not that it really matters but Lonnie was not a lottery pick. He was the 18th pick, only two spots ahead of where Branham was drafted
Damn Dillingham looked smooth in the PS opener for the T-Wolves ... can't help but to keep an eye on him this season
Nice. First time I can ever remember the Spurs televising their preseason.
yup...Heads should roll if he turns out to be a star.Will be watching closely as well along with other playersDamn Dillingham looked smooth in the PS opener for the T-Wolves ... can't help but to keep an eye on him this season
we passed on.
Wolves quietly retooled. Donte and Dilly in the back court were big additions. Dilly will have the green light I suspect.Damn Dillingham looked smooth in the PS opener for the T-Wolves ... can't help but to keep an eye on him this season
Spurs were not going to pick him if they kept the pick. Saw an interview during the draft where Rob said that they knew the Spurs weren’t interested, and was surprised by the pick, but his agent told him it was for a trade.
You can be all bitter if you want. I’m just going to watch the guys we did draft, not worry about the ones we didn’t. I was actually on the Dillingham train early last season,but as the year went on, it became apparent that he’d really never be able to defend the position, so he’ll top out as a bench bucket, most likely.
Fair point. My mistake, I forgot he wasn't one of the recent lottery picks and lumped him in with Primo, Sochan, etc.
Potatoe, potato. Sub Walker’s athleticism with Sochan’s “Kawhi like defense” or Primo’s “open growth plates” and you have the same ST hoopdream.
both dilly and knecht looked great for their first game
ing idiot spurs fr ofc
