tl;dr: Underwhelming all around. The Spurs have work to do after their second straight preseason blowout.
just watched the replay ... this does look like an uninspiring Spurs team ... I had hopes with Murrays return but he looked awful in my opinion ... still cannot finish at the rim, iffy jumpshot and jumping passing lanes too hard without bing able to recover
ib bonafide scrub
if they will be this ty during the season i am all for tanking. No need to be 10th or 11th and get a ty pick.
Preseason doesn't usually give any real indication on the Spurs real status. Still, they played like .
I was mostly worried by the startes defensive mistakes, they kept compounding. Murray looks in great physical conditions though.
Also, I guess White is thinking: "what more do I have to do to start? I carried the team -after rushing back from an injury- for the best part of last season, and what I get is a boot?" Not sure is a good idea to snub him for Murray, at this stage.

Ugly. But it is preseason. Expected the scrubs to play better though.
Thanks for the grades OP.
Not sure what to think of this team so far. Just preseason, but they look awful.
The uninspiring play has to do with leadership. Hopefully thats what Tim is here for.
Second, Mills and Beli contribute literally nothing. Maybe theyre showcasing them to be traded?
"They're professionals. They shouldn't have to be inspired."
Mills and Marco should NEVER be on court when you have Murray, Walker and White on the team.
Just preseason so not going to overreact but yea, they’ve looked like so far. My biggest concern is D-White so far. Looks lost out there. But again, 2 meaningless games so not gonna flip.
No kidding! So much for putting your better players out on the court, they still lack the culture I guess.
I'm hoping this horrible play is just the young guys trying to figure it out and the old guys not caring too much about preseason games. This is basically the same core of guys that was either losing games by 30 or winning games by 30 last year, so I think the motivation factor is huge with this group.
Team too distracted.
Worrying about what club they are going to afterwards imho . After all, it is south beach.
I hope so
I'm trying not to get concerned about the second preseason game. I know Pop doesn't push too hard early on, looking to peak later in the season. That said they do look bad. In particular DWhite looks terrible.
Best thing to do is to get all the garbage out of the way. Get it all out of your system. But come game 1 you better come ready to play.
Like others have said, not concerned...yet. Its way too early for that.
Folks here were excited about Lonnie in the summer like Marco and Bryn stopped existingPoop will always stick with his scrubs who can’t defend. Period.
I didn’t watch it thanks for the review. Frankly doesn’t seem like a better team than last season right now. It’s preseason only so not overreacting but it doesn’t look better right now. I wonder if Lyles/Carroll are really an upgrade over Davis...
Are we sure my h? Welcome to Spurs Talk.
TGY always with the truth bombs. The likes of Bryn, Marco, and Patty would be cut if they were on another team tbh. I swear pop loves his underwhelming pets. It's such a detriment to this team. Dude should hang it up. He can't evaluate talent for . I'm actually surprised a guy like lonnie is even on this roster, though, pop himself doesn't even know.Folks here were excited about Lonnie in the summer like Marco and Bryn stopped existing
This team is full of scrubs tbh.
You can tell he was an RC pick tbh. Pop doesn’t care about basketball anymore so he just goes with whatever RC thinks is best. Most of the roster doesn’t even fit with the beautiful game. Aldridge and DDR are the an hesis of Spurs basketball but Pop just doesn’t have a to give anymore, it’s evident. He’s just collecting paychecks at this point. His 8th place finish with Team USA despite having more talent 95% of the tournament is just another example of it. Imagine what he would do if his best players were 40yr old Scola and 5’9 Campazzo
He’s the Arsene Wenger of basketball, except Arsenal fans are passionate. Spurs fans are just pleased to make the playoffs.
I don't understand how one cannot be concerned when this team looks exactly the same as last year except a year older.
Yeah, yeah, Murray and all that, but he doesn't fit with our best players and still can't shoot. An incremental improvement means nothing when the rest of the league, for the most part, actually got better.
Two games and in both the team looks uninspired. Their offense feels so predictable and bland. Too many guys driving with nowhere to go. Rudy seems to be the only catch and shoot guy out there. Marco is a complete waste of space. For the love of god, play Lonnie over this guy.
