Spurs were 3rd in Defense last year without Kawhi. DeRozan is a good defender. Poltl is a very good rim protector. White will get a lot more run and is an excellent defender. The Spurs will likely be a better defensive team than last year.
Bye green and leonard, expect the spurs defense to suck next season..

Meh. We had no Kawhi last year and Green has been a gas station food restaurant for the last 3 years. Defense will be fine.
Derozan is one of the worst defensive wings in the league..
Spurs will still be a top 10 defense, they always are, but I can't see how they won't get worse..
they lost all of their perimeter defenders, all of them
after seeing guys like mills, forbes, marco... spurfan just assumes anybody with decent length and good athleticism is automatically a good defender.
you can say we didnt have kawhi last year anyway, so that doesn't factor in... sure.
but we still lost green and anderson, too. and those guys were both very good defensive players over the aggregate
It's not just individual defensive ability, it's continuity..their defense didn't suffer when Kawhi or Green or even Duncan went out in the past, but it was mostly the same players that played together for years in the same system..
Regardless, the offense will be much better, at least..
I don't see how we'll be a Top 10 defense next year tbh, I know it's a low bar but they've got literally nobody to defend the wings![]()
anunoby would certainly have helped though
blossomgame might be a necessity at this point just to compete defensively
Good take actually reason why Spurs are so consistent very rare that we loose this many players in the same year
Wingstop was a glorius duo. They will be missed.
I'm sad to say that my moniker for this pair will be laid to rest for Spurstalk. It felt pretty awesome to contribute a small piece to this larger-than-life spurs family.
I hope the wings are tasty in Toronto fellas.
Wingstop
Will be in Toronto.... Just got to hope that tendinopathy has recurrences and Danny continues his decline.![]()
