Its worrisome that Tony sometimes seems t play like he is 40 years old and with nothing left to give.

The double teams really bother LaMarcus because they come at weird spots because he posts up quite far from the hoop and doesn't have the moves to split the double team to open up his vision for the pass out of it. So he ends making jump passes while back away from the defenders, nothing good ever comes from that.

He's also pretty firmly in Portland- -everyone-I'm-shooting mode, which isn't helping. In his defense, nobody on the floor with him is moving. Lots of standing around from the entire starting five when they don't have the ball.

It's more worrisome that he's done it since March.

[rastaspur]

that's some quality hate

Im just picking on anderson and trying to get a laugh out of tgy. I thought he would appreciate that joke.

I am rooting for him but he hasn't exactly come sprinting out of the gates to start the year. Pun intended.

If not for Kawhi keeping us in the first quarter and the bench outplaying their bench...The spurs would be down by 15..

Im surprised this team is even a couple of possessions away...

Bertans over Anderson....Spurs need his scoring....

Pop is too loyal :

Kyle earned his stripes :

[sasaint]

parker and kyle literally doing nothing for us...

Pitiful. Absolute space holders. Sets the stage for some heroball by Tony.

Gotta earn that fat contract

[Kawhitstorm]

We aren't going to win this. This is a classic get close but never take the lead type of game.

Kings aren't going to play as hard on defense in the second half & Pau/Porker/LMA can't be any worse. Kawhi picking up 3 fouls is worrying especially if Rudy Gay starts cooking in the 4th quarter.

[Snaq O'Meal]

Pop has to shake up our starting lineup. 3 pieces of starting ain't gonna cut it.

Just a temporary setback with the starting lineup. Green will be back, and Pau will get more comfortable as the season wears on.

Parker looks fully roasted. Lawson is a boozy, bloodshot, empty s of yesteryear and he outclasses Parker by light years

[Chinook]

March of 2014.

[Hoops Czar]

So Gasol is an upgrade over Duncan? Dude can't even be bothered to play defense.

Lee/Dedmon pairing working well again. You don't need to spread the floor when you got guys who create all these extra opportunities like they do.

Hopefully people realize now the pre-season/open practice isn't the only thing to go off of

[Obstructed_View]

The new NBA League Pass music ing SUCKS. So repe ive.

[kuato]

Time to put Lapro

What's with all this logic? Can't you see we're all enjoying the panic?

That put back by Lee was timely. Need to come out with some punch. I haven't been worried...yet.

He's an upgrade over Tim Duncan with no knees. So he didn't become an upgrade until April.

[spurtech09]

Start LMA and Lee?

[sasaint]

Pau would be playing himself to the bench on any other team.
