I like how the final score was 99-95 and the opponent FG% was under 45.
sons Austin Rivers can't possibly be this bad .... has to be opening night jitters or something.

I said last year I though Kawhi would be an All-Star by his 4-5th year, but I think he might have a shot of getting there by his 3rd.
Kawhi hittin those threes was great to see.
TD looked good tonight...24 and 11...solid numbers for an "old man". Pace yourself, Timmy...there's another ring waiting for you in June.
Spurs are UNDEFEATED!
GO SPURS GO!!!!!
I second that. They're ahead of where I thought they'd be, and playing with plenty of energy and urgency.
I must say...Dejuan Blair should be playing instead of Matt Bonner. I'm shocked that Blair wasn't in the rotation tonight. WTF?
Not really ideal for NO. One more bad season, high lottery pick and they will have a team set for a long term challenge.
Agreed... Also Mills should be the first PG off the bench... not Neal.
I know it's only one game and the preseason is the preseason, but on the heels of an uninspiring preseason, this bordered on alarming about as much as this game realistically could have. 95 points, on just under 44% shooting, to a team missing their lone bonafide scorer and playing without a true point guard, is unacceptable. So is being down 7 at half and for a good amount down the stretch.
As an aside, I think they may just have to go with a 9 and 1/2 rotation. Spot Bonner or Blair in here or there when necessary, but try to get away with a combination of Splitter/Jackson/Leonard playing backup PF as much as possible. At some point though, unless they're going to attempt to upgrade the second or third big spot to the point where they can essentially play a three big rotation, they're going to have to find a competent fourth big.
Can you change the frequency that the thread refreshes at? It's tough to follow during the games and gets really confusing.
Until proven otherwise, I think the Hornets took Austin Rivers to keep their win total down so they can get high picks, even though Davis and Anderson should make them win often.
From DB:
@DEJUAN45
This is wat I expected! Lol I'm just not wat dude wants out there it just hit me!! And that's respect! Just KNO I'm doing my part! #SALUTE
Holding a team under 100 is a pretty stout accomplishment when you give up 31 in the first quarter.
Kind of an odd post by DB considering he's probably going to get heavy minutes tomorrow night against OKC.
I'd be pissed if Bonner was getting minutes ahead of me, too.
Timmy: Came to play. Probably wanted to prove he was better than Davis even in his old ass form. If you look at the stat sheet, Duncan did have 5 TO, but 2 of those were due to terrible passes and he pretty much didn't even get a chance to collect the ball before it was stolen. Duncan also took a hot dump on Davis any time he was matched up with him. Look at Davis' +/-. -20 (worst of either team) to Duncan's +13 (best of Spurs).
Parker: Parker still looks good. I think he got jobbed on a couple calls (non calls when he was fouled), but it ended up not mattering.
Kawhi: Impressive game imo. I liked his effort all around, especially on all those steals
Jackson: He kinda phoned it in tonight. Hope he puts in more effort tomorrow.
And I guess as for Davis, I think he did pretty well overall, but he was getting some ridiculous calls. Did not deserve at least two of them if not three.
DB should be ahead of Bonner in the rotation. I want DB to speak up about it. Someone needs to get on Pop's ass about playing Bonner so much when he doesn't even deserve half of the minutes that he gets on the court.
Can someone translate that for me.
...I have no idea what he's saying.
if he keeps on running his mouth on social media, he will continue to be in teh doghouse or best of all get traded
I'd love a translation of the DB tweet as well.
I agree that can't be helping him by talking about it on social media.
It won't help him, but I don't give a . Bonner shouldn't be ahead of him in the rotation and the Spurs should probably try and trade both of them.

I'm might not b tall enough damn I gotta get taller! ����
