Thank you, Chicago!
hopefully Kelon continues his strong post ASB play
Thank you, Chicago!
I'm watching the warriors and kings play and it don't even look like the same sport as when the spurs play basketball. I've seen the warriors rotate on switches and jump in passing lanes correctly more times in literally 1 quarter than I have seen non castle and non wemby spurs players do the entire season.
So Curry has accepted a job as Assistant GM? In his HS team
That's possible?
Why not CP3 as our Asst Coach then
Yeah, I was watching Jake LaRavia in that game… a backup that SAC got for practically free that MEM declined a 4th year option on, and he was making plays that the majority of our team doesn’t have the BBIQ for.
It cracks me up when I read (mostly on Reddit) Spurs fans who basically just want to run it back next year and we’ll just magically take a leap. Clearly a lot of Spurs fans don’t watch any other teams.
Yeah, watching others teams is semi-depressing. We are light years behind in our roster, b-ball IQ, and, dare I say, systems on both sides of the court. Having said that, we do have some scrappy tweeters with a lot of heart. That seemed to work in Hoosiers. So there's that.
I imagine that there will soon be a thread on the players (and coaches) to seek in FA and/or trades this summer. Jake is a complete no-brainer for us.
I saw an article that was making the case for the Mavericks to go after Keldon. Pick up the phone Nico.
Taking advantage of stupid GMs has been the Spurs playbook recently. The Suns will be desperate to deal this summer and the Mavs are just incompetent. Time to try and fleece them.
I watch CHI they have this small PG and versatile C who willed a bunch of randoms to 4 straight wins. They got them for free too.
My favorite tweet after Fox trade was how Spurs identify suckers (Chicago and Sacramento) and just keep trading with them over and over.
Should add Dallas to that list.
I didn’t save it but I saw a graphic of past Spurs trades and it was wild how often we trade with the same teams. Those two were chief among them, and I think Charlotte too.My favorite tweet after Fox trade was how Spurs identify suckers (Chicago and Sacramento) and just keep trading with them over and over.
Should add Dallas to that list.
Keldon would be a pretty good player on certain teams as a change of pace guy off the bench. I would imagine a Denver could find a way to use him.
You'll notice the same thing about other teams, like how Utah gets attached to a lot of Lakers trades lately. Beefing up relationships with 29 other GMs isn't easy, so it's natural to keep hitting the ones you're closest with.
Yeah I had to turn it off cause it was just depressing. It made me think about how we have had a losing record for going on 6 straight years and the only players we have that are clearly above average nba players are Wemby, Fox, and Castle. Getting Wemby was pure luck as we could have just as easily not gotten him, Fox is only here because of Wemby, and Castle was mostly a no brainer pick since literally the only 3 players you should take over him were all drafted before him. Then I started thinking about some of our recent 1st round picks:
Sochan: Extremely limited offensively to the point its hard to run a modern nba offense with him on the floor
Wesley: Bust who never plays unless multiple guards are out
Branhim: Bust who never plays unless multiple guards are out
Devin: Inconsistent 2 guard who has a big game occasionally but about to start getting paid like a two guard who is somewhat consistent.
Keldon: No growth to his game in 3 maybe 4 straight years. If you look at his shot chart the last 3 years you can't tell which one is from 23, 22, or 21
Primo: not even in the league. Complete waste of a pick.
Luka. not even in the league. Complete waste of a pick.
Out of these 7 players Devin is the best one but most of us want him gone cause his game also seems to have also hit a ceiling. 4 of them are absolute waste of picks that never did anything, 2 out of the league 2 glued to the bench, and even at the time of the picks were questionable (nobody had primo that high, nobody had luka on their radar, wesley clearly was just a guy who ran fast and jumped high, branhim seemed like he could score but he has pretty poor physical traits for a guard). So it's literally 4 players who were unlikely to be any good and all 4 of them ended up not being any good. I then went and looked at other teams last 6 or 7 1st round picks and the Spurs are in the running for worst in the league. Another reason why I don't understand the let's tank crew cause unless we are getting into the top 5, it's highly likely the spurs the pick up and the player isn't very good, cause outside of top 5 picks the spurs have ed it up and players aren't good.
Not even going to get into how we are in year 6 of losing and at least year 3 of tanking (maybe 4 cause I feel like the tank officially started when we traded Derrick to Boston) and somehow getting a 19 year old who has never played nba basketball before would actually improve the talent on this team. When that is the case you are bottom of the barrel bad. And we are bottom of the barrel bad.
At least we now know the depth of Chris Pauls powers. We thought he could turn around any bad team in the nba. Did it with Phoenix, did it with OKC. We were wrong. We finally found a terrible basketball team even he couldn't turn around. The San Antonio Spurs.
Withers from UNC is a dumbass
Losing big to the Hornets, Hawks lose, Castle has 25 pts and started. Perfect night!
Wemby

Durant?
Reid?
Yabuselle?

Unless you have a coach that’s the Suns part 2
I've had an eye on LaRavia for a while now, and I think he's a perfect under-the-radar guy for the Spurs to pursue. He's shown steady progress in his 3 years, and does a little bit of everything without needing the ball-- a perfect complementary player to go with Wemby & Fox. Last week, he had a great game against Denver, where he did a very good job defensively on Jokic while also switching occasionally onto Jamal Murray. He's one of those guys who, if he takes one more step forward, will be a reliably impactful guy for a very reasonable price, and he's still only 23.
Here are some numbers that show his progress through his first three seasons:
ORtg/DRtg
'23: 105/114
'24-- 109/116
'25-- 117/113
BPM
'23: -3.5
'24: -2.5
'25: +0.5
On/Off +/-
'23: -11.7
'24: +0.5
'25: +3.4
WS/48
'23: .054
'24: .062
'25: .107
I get downvoted to every time I say the roster outside of Wemby, Castle and Fox are expendable and shouldn’t be a player that holds up a trade. It’s like you have to suck the of the players to be liked on there even if most of them aren’t worth a damn.
Lakers dropping like a rock with Bron out. They’ve lost 4 in a row, and if the playoffs started today, they’d be on the road.
A glimpse of Luka's future...unless he chooses to change it...Just beautiful!
We ahould get Jamal Murray
Yeah, Reddit and Spurs Twitter alike are full of the biggest homers I've ever seen. They'll sit around and talk about the untouchable Power of Friendship core like these guys are anything other than career losers
I was a huge Jamal Murray fan a few years ago. I don't know what happened, but he had a stretch where it seemed like he lost his passion to play a little bit. Not sure if it also took a while to get back from the knee injuries.We ahould get Jamal Murray
He also started getting into MMA a couple of years ago, and I've seen him hanging around with and training a little bit with Alex Volkanovski in some of Alex's videos. He's also walked out to the Octagon with him a few times. I think they've become pretty good friends.
I know Shaq also called him out earlier in the season and I saw he had some big games after that. Those of you that watch the Nuggets on a regular/semi-regular basis, how has he played?
Also, what do you guys think about the Warriors since the Jimmy Butler trade? It seems like they're playing great since he was traded there. You think they have a chance to make some noise in the playoffs?
I'd been thinking of checking out some other places to talk Spurs (Reddit being one of them), but I don't like the sound of what you've just said. Is there anywhere else worth going?Yeah, Reddit and Spurs Twitter alike are full of the biggest homers I've ever seen.
