Needed D, went with Joseph. He provided it well.
What happened tonight?
I thought he played really well in his limited minutes.
He was part of the team that got the spurs back in the minute.
The spurs looked terrible and lacked ball movement until Manu came in the last 5 minutes of the third Quarter and Patty just started beasting.
Is Pop Experimenting with Joseph?

I don't know man..The spurs were killing the Bucks with Mills-Diaw-Manu-Tiago-Kawhi
A few options:
- Shopping Joseph, since he fits horribly from an offensive standpoint when Parker or Ginobili are on the floor with him
- The team looks much better when Patty is on the floor rather than Tony, it's possible Pop is trying to keep the vultures(us) from eating Parker
Terrible 1st take.
I think Pop is taking a detailed look at Tony, especially how he can most effectively use him given his new realities. Either that or just giving TP time on the court to figure things out.
This is the time to do it, tbh....
Trade incoming
I like Joseph's improvement and he's grown on me, but he becomes extremely passive when he's on the floor with Parker or Ginobili, tbh..he doesn't shoot the 3 well, which is a necessity to play off Ginobili/Parker..
I wouldn't mind keeping him over Parker, but obviously the Spurs won't, so he would fit much better on a team that needs a backup PG to take more shots and more of a load(a team like the Celtics, Hornets, Pistons, Heat, Pelicans, Kings, Wizards)..
The Pistons just lost Jennings for the year, and apparently Kemba Walker may be out for the year, too..those are 2 fringe playoff teams that could desperately use a PG like Joseph to play a larger role for them..
He has a friendly contract and it's probably more intelligent for the Spurs to keep him, but maybe they could package him for something useful..
Yep, I have a love/hate relationship with Joseph, but he's been fine this season. Even though his defense is inconsistent, I think he's a good option to have on the team when they need more defense. And especially when Enrique looks as bad as he has all season. I hope Belinelli is on the trading block instead, but Joseph probably has more value at this point, unfortunately.
CoJo is the defensive spark plug, Patty is the offensive spark plug. Tonight the team needed CoJo's defense.
Cojo really took some of Green minutes tonight... Both Gino (30 mins) and Tony (35 mins) are the guys that ate up most of Patty minutes in the 2nd half...
That's why I said, I think Pop is letting Tony get in game shape out there, or figuring out what can he do with him.
Trade Cojo for what though? I can't see somebody coming in midseason and getting meaningful minutes. I'd rather just keep him, Patty can't keep covering for Enrique's sorry ass all by himself tbh.
Im sorry but I really think the combo of mills/cojo is better then Parker. I know im getting hate for that lol
I'd rather keep him, too, especially since Parker is probably going to continue declining and/or get hurt, at some point..
I'm just saying, if one of those desperate teams comes running with a nice offer, I'd take it(although those teams don't have many interesting assets)..
What assets do Detroit and Charlotte have that could possibly entice the Spurs? They both have their first rounders for this year intact, but CoJo obviously isn't worth a mid-1st round / lottery pick.
That's pretty much what a lot of Spurs fans feel nowadays.
They don't really have any nice assets, as I said above, but you never know, Charlotte has one of the worst front offices in the NBA..
I'd take gerald Henderson in a heartbeat but not sure if Charlotte would find CJ worth it
CoJo for Neal.Choo choo!
Maybe a bit of rest for him? He may be playing sore
Danny Green Spurs scapegoat.
Opposite point guards eat Tony alive...Matt loses his man...Bobo no boxout or rebounding...nothing happens...But after one Green's little mistake he's in Pop's doghouse.
