Is he athletic?

You should ask SAGirl. She scouts Austin some.

[spursistan]

Eventually , I think BP3 '3&D' combo >> The Simmons Package..

[bklynspursfan]

Murray is really not doing a good job controlling things out there. Just seems so unsure of what he wants to do

[sasaint]

BP3 digs out a loose ball.

Not very "eventually." I think his D is more fundamentally sound. I really like this guy.

[Spurtacular]

...Clips, Bucks, Bulls....

Spurs could go 5-0 on this home stand.

Looks good to me

Yep..And he will look even better playing next to Kawhi..

[raybies]

gg spurs

[duncan2k5]

Murray missing chippies

[DJR210]

Damn, Len looking like Wanderlei Silva with them elbows

[BatManu20]

PHX is really terrible, but a win is a win is a win.

Now let's get ready for a real challenge with the Clippers on Tuesday night.

Can't see the Spurs beating the Bucks without Kawhi, and they never seem to beat the Clippers anymore.

With the emergence of Forbes and (especially) BP3, he needs to get his act together. He MUST develop a jumper from somewhere rather than relying totally on all his junk shots.

I prefer to be optimistic for as long as we are undefeated on this home stand; but if I make it out to Vegas, I'll keep your concerns in the back of my mind.

Spurs lost the first game of the home stand tbh, or did your mind blank out the traumatic experience of last Thursday night?

[sasaint]

Yep, I really want to see him on the floor with Kawhi. They could be very symbiotic.

True. However, this is a totally different Clips team.

[DJR210]

I wonder if Rudy Gay goes with "Joto" on the back of his jersey for Latin Night..

[Robz4000]

True. However, this is a totally different Clips team.

They're better tbh. CP0 was/is too ball dominant and they got much better depth.

[BatManu20]

Clippers have actually been better statistically so far without CP3 this year tbh. That said, he was a notorious Spurs-killer so maybe they won't be as tough. We'll see.

Hopefully DeAndre Jordan won't go off on us as usual without Paul there throwing him lobs either.

[sasaint]

Victory

A fun victory, too. It was a lot of fun watching Bryn and BP3. Gotta help their confidence, and ultimately the Spurs. They looked like legit "young guns" tonight.

I agree. Forbes has gone from a bubble player to a real asset. And BP3 has me excited for his potential.

Yeah, I didn't say the Clips were worse, just different - very different. How that impacts our contests will be interesting to see. CP3 and Crawford have always been the guys who killed us.
