Kyle Anderson is averaging 6 points, 6 rebounds, and 3 assists but it's only December. Lots of time left to get a career high of 11 points
Well the team has won one game and they are still out of the playoffs.
However, This is the perfect moment to point out it’s only December. Still over half a season to play, winning runs still possible.
Even some deals to improve are still possible after Dec. 15.
Things are looking up right?
Post all your “it’s only December takes”....

The Spurs only saving grace is that apparently everyone in the West sucks this season (or is that what they call parity?)
As ty as this season feels, Spurs are still only 4.5 games out of first. We only have 3 more losses than the Warriors, and 1 more than the Rockets. It remains to be seen if several of the "top teams"...i.e. Nuggets, Clippers, Thunder, Blazers...have staying power.
A few teams are going to start stumbling...but it's also hard to say if the Spurs can find their footing. Schedule doesn't get any easier, and it's hard to see this team going on a 5 or 10 game tear.
We should have a much better feel of how this season is going to go in another 20 games.
They need a moderate winning run. Just string some wins together to make us more of a believer. They also need a signature win. This blazers win wasn’t it. The Blazers has been in a losing skid and playing on the road. It’s fine to cheer but if they are serious about the playoffs they have to win in a more convincing fashion against a stronger team.
Not for us.
no point in making the POs. tank.
Nah that's fine. Rook Jaren Jackson looks very good for Memphis.
I have thought the same for some time now but you know Pop is going to squeeze very ounce that he can from this group. They are stuck in limbo right now.
The amount of points we give up is what scares me. It seems like we have to score 120 just to secure a win.
It is early. There are numerous things you could come up with to be hopeful but there are some major concerns.
Rudy Gay is playing nice, when he plays. His recurring issue with his heel is a big red flag. I am afraid it is chronic and will haunt the team all season long.
Defense, what defense? We just don't have the horses. Murray alone was not going to be a one man team stopper but he sure would have helped. A lot of posters have high hopes for LWIV but he is still a kid learning and I would be surprised if he stepped up and contributed major minutes this season. I hope I am wrong.
LMA is not getting his touches so he is playing disinterested. Maybe Pop has figured out something by staggering his and Derozan's playing time.
Bellinelli is my biggest gripe with this season. Pop likes guys who shoot without a conscience and Marco fits the bill. Thing is, he is redundant on this squad and is not providing veteran leadership, consistent shooting or any defense.
Pau Gasol was not the albatross so many make him out to be but now that he is modeling street clothes, we actually miss his presence with the bench unit.
Dante Cunningham meh.
I wonder what is going through Derozan's mind these days. He doesn't play defense that much either but man he has a nice midrange game and can score in bunches. We don't have a small forward so he has to play small forward and if we had a small forward, he would be eating up minutes that White and Walker need. Maybe Marco would get benched.
PATFO apologist here, I am holding out the hope the old man figures it out with the injury bug he has been dealt this year.
Tis the season to be tanking? But it’s not in Pops’ DNA so will squeeze every win. We have LW4, Huestis, Moore in the pipeline, and perhaps a deal for Pau’s expiring contract plus Raptors’ 1st, Belli, could get us a serviceable 3nD. Anything could happen as long as we remain in the pack. We’re not the only one in the West, lucky.
I have thought from the start out improvement would be gradual and was surprised when we came out relatively strong. I still expect to see improvement and it's been my mindset about this season in general. Seriously I haven't had high expectations and just wanted to see some effort and a team that wants to play together.
Last season and the summer of the nephew were really horrible in every way, except for getting to see Manu play for his final stage bow. I was of the camp to make Kawhi play, if only to increase his value. It sounded like RC was going to do just that, but I think he eventually just couldn't take it anymore...and or Pop just said '%$#! it, let's move along.' Having DeRozan is a good thing...it could have been worse.
6 reb 3 asts and decent defense are way better than our Cun Belli Patty Jakob give us.
Memphisgirl : lol
I trully believe this team can do better than what they're doing by having Pop play the better players on the roster (like White and Bertans) more than the lesser players (like Cunningham, Belinelli and Forbes).
Welcome in today's NBA.
If the lineup is like last game
And they can average 109 a game they will make the playoffs
White has shown glimpses of hope the last few games... He should get better with the season progressing.
Right ?
yup
I hate it.
Don't waste your time. Kyle isn't in the Spurs and besides troll bait it's off topic. Really off topic.
Is that you? I have wondered whose troll alt that is. It has to be you.good nickname.
At least it's a start. It may turn around their season (maybe wishful thinking but maybe not). And if it doesn't work at least you developed some guys and have a better idea what you need. The problem with benching vets is that they get devalued. If they aren't going to play Belinelli they need to trade him.
Yeah Anderson is old news so much more to be worried about or discuss then another teams player. As far as for me our team sucks all I want is a 1 year tank which I think we can get we are one injury away from being the tiest team in the NBA.
Come on Pop you did it to get Timmy fall on your ing sword one more time ya old bas
