Game Thread: Spurs vs. Suns -- Sun. (11/5) - 6:00/C (2:00am Riga Time)

[Spurtacular]

Spurs lost the first game of the home stand tbh, or did your mind blank out the traumatic experience of last Thursday night?

Forgot about GS and had been thinking it was a four-game road trip and not a three-game road trip. All the same, 5-1 home stand is attainable.

Yeah that's why I am rooting for Mills to snap out of this horrid slump though i've been going to town on him since 12:01..Spurs need him to maintain a modi of tradeability on the basketball court just in case. I also forgot about Kyle and Bertans fre agency--probably one of them is goner assuming we don't any salary dumps with Patty/Pau and Parker gets another albatross deal (=or >10 millions)...

I am not that worried about Davis or Kyle. They are not a hot commodity right now. One is completely out of the rotation and the other's passiveness depresses the market for himself. Only way they aren't back is if they don't want to be back, and they are difficult to read in that regard. Davis might pull a DeColo and not want to be back bc he isn't getting opportunities to play.

Bryn Forbes is also going to be a FA... basically in the same boat. Difficult to read.

Give all Manus minutes to Paul

Manu could come in, pull an Ofer, and have 3 TO in a row and Pop will still have him to close out games etc.

Can't see the Spurs beating the Bucks without Kawhi, and they never seem to beat the Clippers anymore.

You were worried about the Suns too tho. Those are all very winnable games

With the emergence of Forbes and (especially) BP3, he needs to get his act together. He MUST develop a jumper from somewhere rather than relying totally on all his junk shots.

Yea.. this isn't guaranteed for him cause he says he's going to work hard or cause he knows LeBron. Dude has to put the work in

I wonder if Rudy Gay goes with "Joto" on the back of his jersey for Latin Night..

They're better tbh. CP0 was/is too ball dominant and they got much better depth.

Paul and especially Crawford were huge reasons why LAC would beat the Spurs. With Mills and Austin Rivers starting, though, it has the potential to get ugly.
