What worries me about it is not that it's serious, i really hope it isn't, it's just the frequency with which he breaks down. In college tore the meniscus, in summer league, limped with some knee or ankle tweak with no contact. Missed the first game of preseason with a sore groin, now this thing, whatever it is.

Maybe needs to slow down first. I mean, he's 19 and look how built and athletic he is. He could be overtraining.

hot take: Walker will be a better player than Donovan Mitc when all is said and done

I will settle with just as good a player.

It's Nic Johnson. I think I heard the PA announce his name on his 2nd foul Also don't know who the guy is.

I recall him getting garbage time minutes for Houston a few years ago when they still had Chandler Parsons.

“That’s Tony Parker,” Murray said of the Spurs icon, who this season is making a pit stop in Charlotte on his way to the Naismith Hall of Fame. “He’s the greatest point guard to ever put on a Spurs uniform and it’s going to stay that way for a long time.”

Once such moment came in the second quarter when, on a fast break, Murray took a lob pass from Dante Cunningham for a two-handed alley-oop slam.

That was Murray’s lone bucket to come from inside the paint.

I think he's the difference from a 6-7 team to a 2nd place in the West

Yeah why did Forbes eat of Bertans's playing time?

So Dante is a legit 3&D option at the SF position, then? Not lengthy but he seems fairly mobile.

[Spur|n|Austin]

Why the did Bertans get barely any playing time.

I’d assume he and Poeltl will get plenty of minutes tomorrow.

Murray sinking those shots would really make a difference between a middle-tier team or a contender. If Pops jovial demeanor around him suggest confidence on the youngster, we’re in for a really good season.

[LongtimeSpursFan]

‘Two shots’ was still announced by fans

[phxspurfan]

Honestly, didn't pay a whole lot of attention to him. Don't recall hearing the "two shots" thing, so that was good.

twoooo shots!

what a weird video

Preseason. Pop will probably tinker with lineups and see what he has in the new guys

the 60 second nba blurb is terrible. the narrator didn't even read the score correctly

That's because we knew you missed it.

3. Tim



4. Danny

Can\t argue with those. Would add an engaged Boris too. 2014 was only 4 years ago? Seems impossible.

As you know he retired this summer and last time I heard about him it was his mom on a radio show maybe 3 weeks ago saying he was preparing a world tour on his catamaran... and everybody who met or worked with him reminding how such a great guy he is.
