Kawhi LMA Duncan is the best backcourt in the NBA right now. preseason standings.
Preseason is finally here, Spurs are 0-2 btw for those who have not been counting, but the constant believe is that San Antonio will be really good.
Now, fresh of the signing of the most coveted Free Agent in the offseason, the Spurs kinda began a rebuilding not so rebuilding process this summer. As you all know, besides LMA Spurs signed PF David West and Euroleague MVP Serbian Giant Boban Marjanovic. Pair those with the GOATPF and Boris and you end up with one of the best and deepest frontcourts in the League.
With the preseason underway, we are starting to get some glimpses and teases of what we can expect from a really special frontcourt. And I’m thrilled about it. Taking last night as an omen, you can foresight how the HI-Lo play between LMA and Tim Duncan will severely punish small-ball heavy teams and how ridiculous amazing the pick and pop between LMA and our perimeter players is going to be. You can notice DWest is still finding his niche and groove coming off the bench, but an important observation is that he seems very happy with his role and to be playing for the Spurs. His highly BBIQ should help him fit.
From the newly acquired big men trio, obviously Boban is the one who needs more time to adjust to the NBA style and pace. Sometimes he looks overwhelmed, tentative and anxious when near the ball. But given its size and massive body, Boban should intimidate 2nd/3rd string big men which are the ones he should be playing against. Offensively, so far he has looked averaged posting up and defensively he has looked nicely active. He has some pretty light feet for someone his size.
With that in mind, I think Pop hardest job will be fitting these big fellas rotations on the fly when particular matches change during games. But overall, with at least two superstars big men starting, one former All-Star, a multifaceted French and a Giant coming off the bench, the Spurs’ frontcourt is going to be GOOD. Really GOOD.
Could this Spurs' frontcourt become something historically special?

backcourt
Typo.
Yeah...because the words front and back aren't opposites or anything.
If you have seen the other hundred times I used it correctly, how else would you assess the error?
I could watch this all day long.
Front court will be solid, Spurs will dominate teams this year.
I'm only afraid of an early peak when it's a long season.
cause you are not only a got, but also an idiot
LeBron Love Russian are better, tbh. But also more injury prone
Mozgov and love?
man, we gave up splitter for this.
if LMA can just be serviceable on D....i think it's gonna be a fun season
Early peaking with approximately 5 new rotation players should not be an issue. Usually teams who peak early in the season are teams who have spent some years playing together. Even then, Pop always love to keep mixing line-ups at the start of every season probably trying to avoid just that.
Finally other team's Centers gonna work on defense....
Ok we know your a Spur-hating got but even you can not be serious
Best frontcourt since Admiral/Tim/Sean (98-99).
King James >>>>>>>> Kiwi
Love wash with LMAlpha
Tim > Russian
but Tim will play fewer minutes than the Russian so the Russian might still have more overall impact
Regular season stats
Spurs' frontcourt is much better than Cleveland's from a fit standpoint, tbh..
Post-prime Lebron and Love is a hideous defensive combination, not to mention their chemistry issues, last season..
King James spanked that ass when you stop cherry picking, got. You think King James gets butt ed by Matt Barnes? smh
^^^ what a knockout to the player fan krew!!!
I think you forgot the time Kawhi owned Lebron for Duncan's fifth ring. smh.
OP and others need to calm down with their praises and expectations, we still don't know how LMA handle this situation and if he can clean some nonsense in his game and become tougher, better winning player... Remember Duncan in his 40 year and can collapse anytime... David West is looking like what he is nowadays minimum contract player, he and Boris with no mobility almost... And Kawhi needs to recover from last playoff when Barnes open his ass...
Tim should have a shot at a career high in FG% this year.
At 40 no less...
