Preseason Game #4 Thread: Spurs @ Hawks - 10/10/18 @ 6:30pm CST

30 points, evenly divided, from the starting guards. If there's a way to add some defense to that it could look promising.

[SpursDynasty85]

Forbes will be a lot better than last year.

[LakerHater]

I mean, he does take those all the time. No excuses. Bryn blew it.

Yeah, live & learn

maybe playing with 6 players on the court every moment

Needs to be closer to 33 or 35 for my liking White has to average at least 12 points for me to feel like he's doing his job, and DeRozan should be able to keep up his previous scoring with White there to handle the ball some.

[Seventyniner]

You just tip your hat to that shot and move on

This.

Young's shot was stupid for two reasons: wayyy behind the arc, and he left the Spurs time for a shot of their own. Two more dribbles and he gets a closer shot at the horn.

[Fusternino]

Glad Pop started Dante. Forbes still getting way too many minutes but I think that's the way it will be from here on out.

[ReadandReactOffense]

Two more dribbles gets him closer to a defender's outstretched palm as well. He was in his spot, the defender wasn't. He took it wide-open. Game.

SpursTalk, where a guy who scores 22 points in 23 minutes on 82% shooting off the bench is getting way too many minutes.

That's why I'm nipping this in the bud now, because you'll be at it all year otherwise. I love how now you're making this anti-Walker just to pump Murray up. You know whatever anti-Murray bias you see in me isn't because I'm pro-Walker, since we've been going back and forth since last year. I'm telling you as a friend, bro: Don't make this typical player-fan nonsense. You like Murray. That's fine. I like Murray too. We disagree about how good he is, but that's fine. Don't start making it a situation where you start sniping at other players, especially not a young guy who ideally is DeJounte's running mate for the next seven to 10 years.

First off, I like Walker and think he will be a solid rotation player for a long time. Secondly, we are still in preason and nobody anointed you to nip anything in the bud. I still say Murray will be a star and his defense will be sorely missed this year despite your opinion on it. Also, you should take your own advice on the sniping b/c Murray will be the PG for a long time.

[Mr. Body]

Big success. Didn't lose another player for a third game in a row.

[bklynspursfan]

We would be the first team Trae Young s on so Spurs

22 points on 18 shots is ting on us?

[Beartrucci]

22 points on 18 shots is ting on us?

Nah I'm just messing around. It's that shot he hit that's funny to me, but I'm sure he'll hit quite a few of those bs shots throughout his rookie year.

[spurs10]

Great game in the end. Rudy Gay is big for us.

[bklynspursfan]

Nah I'm just messing around. It's that shot he hit that's funny to me, but I'm sure he'll hit quite a few of those bs shots throughout his rookie year.

Yea definitely. Whatever it's pre season lol. He was shooting 25% on 3s coming into tonight

"My own advice" had nothing to do with liking Walker or not. There's nothing wrong with being critical of players. I'm not going to stop just because it offends you. That's not the same thing as trying to make it a Murray vs Walker thing. They aren't in compe ion. I never suggested they were. You did. I'm glad you're backing off a bit. You were starting to go down a bad road for the Church of Murray by making it seem like he had to be the best rather than just good or bad in his own right.

[acoelho1]

I wasnt offended and it wasn’t me jumping on anyone who puts Murray in a good light but whatever. I’m bored with this conversation.

On other note, if Brin had half the confidence of Curry, he would be a dangerous player in this league.

Did you mean skills or shooting?

Unfortunately he has half the skill set

[Kobe'sAchilles]

But this game was meaningless and the people who I wanted to play well did for the most part. LOL at Trae Young and the Atlanta bench acting as if this game meant something. All that dancing and celebration for a preseason game... It's gonna be a long season for the Hawks

[acoelho1]

Obviously shooting. He just doesn’t have moxie to bring his game to the next level.

lol no
