That’s true. I have given up expecting retirement. Bar of soap still has a few slivers left.
Team seems to be jelling...

Not my idea of "good". I'd give the team a "C" at best. Fair against the Nets...I hope so. Team looked good in the second half.
Kawhi playing normal minutes and a win.
Victory
Gay doesn't look happy.
Compared to all previous games with Kawhi in it this season this was good. Still room for improvement of course.
What made you think that?
Didn't see. When? Did he play much in the first half. He looked pretty good in the second. Just not a lot of burn.
Agreed. Best Kawhi back game..
They took him in exchange for a second-round pick.
Okay. I'll give you that. You are grading on a curve.
I feel like the ball sticks in Kawhi's hands a bit too much. He doesn't make decisions as quickly as the rest of the team is.
It's gotta be at least somewhat reasonable lol TP/Manu? Nah
Okafor, Stauskas and a #2 for Trevor Booker. Yeah I get it. He's still gonna end up in China next season.
I feel like your correct.
But it was the same with LMA as well and he does not even handle.
This is game is an attempt to work this out.
We are not there. But we can at least be something in the playoffs, assuming that other teams have some bad luck injuries.
Yeah, it's pretty obvious. Im hoping its just over eagerness on his part and that he eventually finds a happy medium once he's playing heavy minutes consistently.
Well, that was sort of the offense with him in the game last year. Iso-heavy. The team offense has been really great to watch for much of the season because the ball isn't sticking and I hope the coaching staff gets Kawhi integrated into that feel. Isos should ocme when everything has broken down and KL was calling his own number a lot tonight. I'm hoping it's just to get him into the swing and isn't a long-term sign.
Spurs are now 41-4 (.911) all time at home against the Nets - the best home winning percentage of any team against any opponent in NBA history.
I don't get why Gay is playing so little. Whether good, bad or indifferent, he should be playing about half a game, if for no other reason than to prevent Aldridge and Gasol from being overplayed.
Yeah, it's worse than ever. I can't tell whether it's him trying to make up for lost time, thinking it's necessary to give this laboring offense a jolt, him feeling himself too much or a combination thereof. Whatever the reason(s), he needs to tone it down.
They don't need him to do his Bryant imitation; they need him to make the correct play. I'm not expecting him to magically become a pick-and-roll maestro all of a sudden, but how many times can he disregard or miss Aldridge or Gasol when they're wide open on the pop, to force a contested shot? That becomes contagious, as others become consumed with getting theirs when they have it because they don't know how long it'll be until they do again.
Spurs had very good chemistry up until this point, even if their ceiling as a team was lower. They definitely pulled through some close games due to outstanding chemistry.
Its something to watch. I dont think Rudy is going to be happy playing 15 minutes a game either, although I missed any in game gesture he may have made about it.
I think Pop might even be conflicted. I am not sure he wants to completely banish Davis from the rotation and he still doesn’t know what to do with Joff.
My man TGY
Maybe the Nets would trade us Okafor for Joff with all that Spurs corporate knowledge. Whatever his issues he can't be as bad as Joff
He won't be. Think he's somewhat confused about what his role is supposed to be offensively.
The 10th man should be 50/50 between Bertans and Forbes, depending on whose playing better and match-up. Its obvious what to do with Lauvergne: Only play him in blowouts or when one of Aldridge or Gasol is inactive.
Better get used to it with Kawhi back, tbh.
Spurs by 12
best spur ever. Dig it
