Whats the deal with Austin Rivers? He was like their best player.
Actually I have very mixed feelings. Yes, it is good to see - to the extent that it contributes to a Spurs win. Not so good to see since it only reinforces Pop's determination to use him extensively even though he can only be a positive force every third game or so. I will not necessarily be glad when he is gone, but I will be relieved.

I think I have accepted that this lineup/rotation is the one Pop is rolling with. Once you accept that you can kind of move on...
Take the last Magic game for example, Manu goes down with an injury, the guys get off the bench and the team doesn't skip a beat. Kyle/Davis and others had a good game but when others are healthy we won't see them. It's just how it is. I have no doubt both guys probably get rotation minutes elsewhere, Davis specially, but Kyle gets very underrated bc he started the season poorly but has since then played well every time....
Anyways, then there is Dijon: the team is 6-0 when he starts including games against Toronto and Cleveland, playoff teams. Then we don't see him again that much. He has been shaky in his appearances since then which shows his inconsistency as a 20 year old rook...
I think I have just accepted this is how it is. I'd rather see them at times but I have accepted Pop is rolling with his guys. Manu came through, Tony righted the ship in the second half. It's good to see they still got it.
I suppose next season we shall see the others more, or maybe I will see them play in another team like Cojo who was fantastic against the Celtics tonight but when he was in the Spurs was in a similar situation to them.
I guess the Spurs will soon reach a point where they can't afford to leave these guys benched to Neverland but this season is not it.
He gets to the basket unimpeded. Patty can't guard him. He got by Danny a few times too. I think the bigs guard the lob and don't help on him.
Yeah but who saw that hed be effective this far after the draft?
I'm still upset we didn't get rid of Aldridge before the trade deadline. I just have a feeling he's gonna us over in the playoffs
TBH I'm worried about a lot of players on our team sucking in the playoffs.
I'm on vacation bruh.
Great win all things considered. Had this as a scheduled loss, so this makes up for the loss in Memphis. Still can't see the Spurs beating the Clips in a series, though.
I took over for you today in my cliff jumping posts. Even though some of it was legit anger from me![]()

Teams looks so much better with Dedmon starting and Pau off the bench. Feels good to have an athletic shot-blocker who rebounds like a mad man and brings some "nasty" to this team.
A lot of us have been begging Popovich to do it, but hey we know nothing right ?
Hopefully Pop continues with this starting lineup until the end of the season.
The guy is the X factor that could take us over the top.
Agree 100%. Good enough to give guards a lot of problems.
The Parker-Mills-Manu lineup really gets the ball moving extremely well and it seems to be tiring to defend.
Spurs had a lot of trouble scoring against the Clippers defense, but maybe this dynamic offense was the solution. Interesting enough, Leonard wasn't even in that lineup.
Good stuff. I like Mic e... They never did this for Skip haha
Skip is pretty much an ST poster who happens to have a sports talk show.![]()
I was at the game last night but left promptly when it ended.
Driving home, the Clippers postgame radio said that Pop came out afterward and addressed the fans for a while. (I think he's done this before at Staples.)
Did anyone stay and hear what he said, how long he spoke, etc?
tp with that 41.7% shooting and 3 assists to go along with 2 turnovers
let murray play.
His play with Manu and Mills changed the game. But sure... Gambit gon do gambit things
Should have had Stephen A Smith end it with "You brought this on yourself."
First I heard of it. First I've ever heard of an opposing coach coming out and addressing the fans in their house.
I just hope it wasn't political. I'm getting really sick of that . From everyone, and from both sides.
It was probably a fundraiser for his 2020 campaign.
