    Agreed, and that's why I think the logic of give Kawhi the most space to work with via isolation by pairing him with shooting bigs makes sense in theory. It covers some of those limitations. Much easier to kick it out to waiting Gasol than it is to find Dedmon in traffic with a shovel pass (something Manu was great at doing in his prime).
    One option this season is to play Kawhi at the 4 spot & have him run 4-5 PnPs w/ Pau or LMA who could set a drag-screen at the 3 point line to force a switch. It would have to be against a team that doesn't have an elite 3 where Kawhi would have to be matched up against & that team might be the Cripples whom Pop could afford to have Kawhi play the 4 when Blake is on the bench.

    Patty/Felton
    Manure/Crawford
    Simmons/Rivers
    Kawhi/Johnson?
    Pau/Speight

    Called him the soon to be third best spur behind Kawhi and Danny in just his second spurs game tbh.

    Sadly, He is probably republican. Pop hates republicans.
    Where do you get that Pop hates republicans?

    Just because he leans left doesn't mean he hates or isn't going to play republicans.

    I think Dedmon should start. Would love to see him starting and Pau coming off the bench. I know it won't happen but I am loving Dedmon this year!

    Simmons being coddled is actually a law of physics, so I don't know what you're talking about.

    Pop should take some of those games that he uses to rest people and rest Gasol only.
    He won't lose the starting position, but the team can try Dedmon in the SL and see how it works.

    I'd like to see him get some pointers from David Robinson on workouts, he needs some big guns like David had. I like this guy, he seems real sharp and a good guy as well.

    I have loved Dedmon. I hope the team can resign him. Probably my favorite big in this team TBH.

    Dedmon in the starting lineup and Pau off the bench is the obvious move. I doubt the super duper coach, which doesn't take from anyone and likes players that are "over themselves", does the move, tbh.

    Dedmon needs more minutes than Lee from here on out.

    He impacts the game in so many more ways. Love the activity he brings on both ends.

    Great game by him.

    Agreed. Though I don't think he should start. The Pau/diva thing is, well, a thing, and prime Manu set a precedent for a bench player being better than the guy he's supposedly backing up. Dedmon has definitely earned the right to finish games and play at least as many minutes as Pau imo.

    Is "sceptrum" the same thing as "taint"? If it is, then I understand Chinook and Apo being on opposite sides of the sceptrum.

    Agreed. But Pop can't bench Pau, since he already said in the offseason that "Pau is a starter" to silence the rumors about of him coming off the bench as the best fit with the Spurs lineups.

    That was a surprising and ugly move by Pop. And exposed Pau's diva-at ude about his need of being recognized as starter.

    I just hope that Pop reduces his minutes and plays Dedmon more.

    I at least hope Pau and Dedmon get the Manu treatment and come off (if starting) or come in (if on the bench) at the 6 minute mark. Dedmon gained the right of being the first guy off the bench.
