You just need to stop starting game threads tbh
Spurs will be DOA come playoff time if they can't find a second player to help Kawhi that can be reliable. LMA is a ghost far too often and Gasol is too old to carry the offensive load. If the Spurs need Patty Mills to be their second best scorer that does not bode well at all.

LMA's inconsistency is otherworldly
I dunno. When he plays against anyone with any strength he consistently sucks.
Spurs gave up 73 points in the first half and all you can think of is the Spurs lack a second banana?
Well if that can't be LA
We be ed.. No excuse when he was the first option usually in Portland.
Nah. At worst, it suggests the team will be match-up dependent. If LMA has a good match-up, he'll dominate. If he doesn't then they won't. But for the most part, they should be fine. But they just have to upgrade for Manu and Tony. They have to. Forget corporate knowledge or culture. Those guys don't deserve consistent minutes right now and may never again.
I don't think the defense is as bad as it is tonight, but their lack of a consistent second option is apparent a lot of the time.
I think it also shows how badly the Spurs need to gun for that top seed. Avoiding the Clippers in the second round would be huge and only having to play either them or the Warriors would be huge.
I do not see those upgrades in the Spurs' system at this point.
Minus a starter against a top 3 team is bad especially if he plays point guard
When he is not scoring Aldridge has played like a turd this season. lack of effort and awareness has been more palpable on the other end....
Nah, 20 mins each is not going to make or break anything. But Pop does need to know Manu can't play back to backs, and if he's not having a good night, he needs to sit. Give Forbes a shot, etc. This is the time to do it.
ultimately, the offense wasn't bad, we scored enough points... our defense was turrible.
Definitely not Kyle Anderson
I need Manu to play one last b2b this year in Toronto, might be my last time seeing him
It's looking an awful lot like Manu's $5.6-Million cap hold could've been used on something better, though, and that's what's so concerning. The team needed to upgrade the back court so badly, which was what I was saying in the off-season and people instead turned it into "Chinook wanted to start West".
I'll take a damned traffic cone over ing pothole Manu has been tonight.Definitely not Kyle Anderson
Kawhi took as many shots as LMA and Gasol combined tbh.. HE has to give them an opportunity to shoot. They're both shooting above 50%, where as he is at 30%.
The inconsistency this game is Kawhi, not LMA and Gasol.
Shooting... If you're LaMarcus Aldridge it's what you do.
Yeah but you were talking about the whole season when you spoke of upgrading. Don't act like kyle anderson doesn't take up minutes, space on the floor, and a roster spot.
Manu is still playing his 20mpg role, letting Simms and Patty do their thing. It's not going to make or break anything.
The problem here is defense, we just had two teams come home and drop ~40 points in the 1st quarter. That's not on one guy. I think Danny will help *some*, but there's no savior here, we need to play better D.
Kawhi is clearly forcing. And you are right - when a player is off, the answer is not to force poor shot selection. Tbh, this is the first time we have seen it from him this season. We will see how he responds in the 2nd half.
FWIW, I don't think Kyle played bad this game or anything, he's just not a long term solution to this problem.
SA s defense is the ing worst in sports. Worse than the Cleveland Browns run defense.
