    We don’t really have a defensive stopper, but team defense should get better as season goes.

    Not last? Pretty impressive given the personnel, tbh.

    If we can somehow get to the middle of the table, I will be satisfied.

    If the Spurs can get to 15th in DRating, I'll get one of these GNSFs to suck you off tbh.

    I think after normalization they will be somewhere in the middle. Sure, the personnel is less than ideal but simply giving effort, which is a given when playing for Pop combined with a semblance of a defensive system, which the Spurs do have, will get you above a few teams that barely care to guard anyone. Spurs even employ the occasional zone defense, including switching to it within a single defensive possession, which is more than most teams are capable of.

    The bigger question is how far the offensive rating will fall after normalization, because it will and this is what will form this team's ceiling.

    Dunno if the ORtg will far much. It's not like the team is leading the league there. 11th seems sustainable, given LMA has yet to arrive.

    Hope you're right, I expect it closer to 20th but I might be a bit too negative. If Forbes can continue being good and DeRozan's playmaking elite, then yes. I think they desperately need another ball handler and creator or someone emerging as one, otherwise they'll stumble into scoring droughts.

    Pels seemed pretty weak in last games. Plus, LMA always plays good defense against AD. IMO the Spurs finish #16 this week.

    The sun's contributed big time to the cause. They were missing Devin Booker but who cares.

    I don't remember any team play any defense this year. Can't even fight through screens without getting a call.
