I thought the expectations and hype were pretty congruent.

I expected him to make multiple all star games and be at 19-8 or higher. He has done that and even a bit better, imo, including being a perrenial playoff presence. I never would have expected more than that. I guess some may have got their hopes up about him being a regular top five player and a guy to win a finals or two.

It's like a ninja turtle, Westbrook and little Wayne all in one.

[DAF86]

If Pau scores one more pts we will have 4 guys with 20+ pts. When was the last time that happened?

nice game by our beloved team yes guys?

[NASpurs]

Teams have no shot if LMA and Gasol are shooting 3s like this. Too bad it happens once in a blue moon and their attempts are minuscule.

Yeah, okay. I thought top 10-15ish player - which I think he is. Spitballing without any statistical support.

The is that? Should have waited 'till he got some money to start working on the ink, tbh.

[Captivus]

He surpassed expectations. He never reached the hype.

yes...

[FkLA]

Turned 24 in September but that’s very young in Pops land.

Jesus is this really his 5th year? Left UCLA after his freshman year at 19, right? Damn time flies.

Resembles a statue in Roswell.

[Chinook]

Does Costello suck so bad that he can't get in even with the injuries? May as well have signed Brimah.

Davis sighting!

Is he even available?

This is his 4th year I believe

I mean, he may be in Austin, but that's a choice Pop would be making knowing the injuries beforehand.

[SpurPadre]

Defense could've been better but then again, our best player who is also our best defender is still out. I'll take a blowout win against the Clips any day.

[NASpurs]

Two games in a row with garbage time?

You're saying calling up Costello instead of Hillard?

[KDKSpurs24]

That's fine. It's not one I'm going to be able to support very well. Captivus is likely to come back to with stats showing Giannis hasn't been a bad passer and that him "holding the ball" hasn't made a difference in wins or losses. My issue with Giannis winning MVP would be that isoing on a mediocre team -- whether he has help or not -- is not what the award should be about. It was bad enough that Westbrook became the first MVP to be bounced in the first round since 2007 because people fell in love with triple-doubles. This would just be that to absurdity.

I was strictly talking talent wise but I should have made that clear. I know there are other factors involved but that stuff won’t show until later in the season. It’s too early. All of those things can change especially when they get Bledsoe. I’m just gonna watch and see what he does. No guarantees he’s even MVP of course.
