You fill in the grades:
- Tim was great on both ends, great night for him... hi-lo with LMA was great
- LMA got his, was much better than 1st game, he did foul quite a bit much
- Kawhi was great defensively, offensively he was aggressive but his shot wasn't falling
- Danny also very good on defense and had some good passes inside, but his 3 point ball is still not there
- Tony looked spry, he had a number of uncharacteristic turnovers though
- Patty was energetic as usual, but didn't really look for his shot.
- Manu looked pretty good out there, both ends.
- KA had some costly silly fouls that he can't have at this level. Probably just part of learning, otherwise, pretty good
- West fought and moved the ball a lot. He's gonna be key settings screens in that 2nd unit, because...
- Boban displayed all his limitations today. Slow to rotate for help, hesitant finishing after getting blocked... just a bad game. He's not a bad player, but he has a learning curve ahead of him.
, I just woke up with 2:30 or so remaining in the game. I think MIA was on a 19-3 run..... .
Heat scrubs >>>> Spurs scrubs
Why don't you wait for an some Op that puts effort into a thread to make one?
I already helped him out tbh
Problem solved

Some promising signs, some guys still obviously are finding themself on this team still. Overall I give the team a B
ing Bobinator
Spurs went with a 17 player rotation, nothing to worry about
- The biggest think you can take from this game is that Parker looked decent offensively. Some terrible turnovers in the first but he run the offense surprisingly well. Defense is a Ghost and will always be though..
- Kawhi is comfortable aggressively looking for his shots.
- Timmy looks great.
This. Spurs fans who missed the game shouldn't be worried. Heat have good starters, and they got blown out in the 1st & 3rd. Diaw coming back will only help the bench because Boban looks lost. Rasual should get a shot with the second unit instead of KA next game IMO
Lol no ray had zero assists and basically blew
Agree. Our starters will be among the best in the league, and our bench will be exceptional with Boris over time. Only real fear is uber athletic teams, but you can already see glimpses of how good we will be. Like you, I'd like to see more Rasual. Boban will need time to adjust to the NBA (if he can) check back mid-season to see if he's headed the Baynes or Ayres route.
LMA will get a lot of easy baskets this season with Tim and Boris passing the ball as the high post players.
Well put
Hard to say this after 1 pre season game. I fear our issue will be scoring...
I am still skeptical with his ability to orchestrate the offense. Everytime he dribbles, he seems to get nowhere.
Don't have grades, but here are my impressions,I agree with Nono for the most part.I posted these in the game thread, but after the game nobody reads those. Anyways:
Well pretty excited that the first unit got its groove going. Tim is still the engine and playmaker in that unit God bless him! His game w/ LMA will be beautiful to watch. Danny's cold atm, Tony was setting others up well, I thought he had a good game. Kawhi had a bad shooting night, but otherwise a good game.
Concerns about the second unit arise, but I think they will be fine. Miami's second unit is crazy athletic so it was a challenge for slomo Anderson, slomo Manu, slowmo Boban and co. Anderson is a young guy so he's likely to have up and down performances, it's part of the process and if you want to let young guys grow and improve they will make mistakes at times and have to learn from it. Preseason is the perfect time to figure him out. Boban had a rough night. Feel sorry for him.
Deshaun Thomas looked overmatched, not NBA material. Reggie can shoot, that is why he's still here, but he doesn't defend well, and tries to do too much. He got an extended look in this game. Not sure where he stands. I liked Ray, subbed in with a terrible lineup, he still looked like an NBA player. Ndoye is very raw, but also very agile for a big. With perimeter players that are a disaster he would look worse. I actually think he has some potential to develop. Simmons had a few nice passes and some good defensive moments so I hope we keep him, I really like him with Anderson and he supplies athleticism that Anderson lacks, but he's obviously not a shooter so it's kind of a jam.
I think Butler may end up being picked if only bc with all of slowmo and Simms potential they are developing and a vet wing to mentor them and maybe sub in if they are having a rough night may actually be a good idea.
Didn't see Jimmer so he's bound to play next game. This would have been a perfect game to see him TBH
again, how long has he been here? PG IS HARD TOLRN
Not only that, he spent the majority of his minutes with a terrible lineup and the guys he passed to didn't make shots.
Great post Nathan Anthony... I whole heartedly agree. Op is a joke.
Did Tony make a layup? Did he even attempt any? Or was it all 18 ft jumpers, as usual?
gtfo got. watch the games or gtfo.
That Spurs' 2nd unit really needs a defender out there, Simmons is the best option on the team for that role. I'm not sure why he got pulled so early, he had 2 assists and a steal, didn't get put back in until they trotted out the trio of Ndoye/Thomas/Williams, they were heavily over matched.
Still want to see Diaw play with them, he'll make a big difference.
The Spurs showed some pretty damn good ball movement for just the preseason, that 1st unit is going to be deadly, anything the bench provides is a huge bonus.
