Give Lonnie's minutes to Devin.

[Dejounte]

Give Lonnie's minutes to Devin.

Devin having an unusual game where he's not showing us anything

[RC_Drunkford]

DJ on triple double watch. 13/5/4 with 0 turnovers

[Bojo]

Honestly, this is making me get excited for this season.
This team is playing very well as a unit. Everyone can play to his specific strengths. And - Pop looks like he gives a .

[NASpurs]

Same completely forgot that’s beautiful, let’s not it up second half

I realized I said that while having him as my avatar Still forgot about him either way.

[Shakril]

Pathetic take.

Why are you so resistent to seeing this. Everybody else sees it just you dont.

Spurs play better, the faster they play and LMA does slow them down.

[Atl Spur]

Don't tell Chinook that. He thinks it won't work.

Your boy balling; looking like a PG killa! Too much length for them.....keep it up DJ!

[Kurgan]

Trey Lyles in Pop’s doghouse?

Hopefully.

[Mugen]

Best part of tonight's game: Trey Lyles - 0 mins played.

[Shakril]

Trey Lyles in Pop’s doghouse?

Forgot he is on the team.....

[EasyMoney]

Trey Lyles in Pop’s doghouse?

He can't get any playing time if they play demar at the 4. No minutes for him anywhere

He's been absolutely fine for his first game tbh.

[Atl Spur]

Devin having an unusual game where he's not showing us anything

He good, just deferring to his big brothers right now as he should! He’ll pick his spots my G!!

[Mugen]

They play with energy/pace and they look pretty solid tbh. Just gotta keep that controlled chaos going.

[J_Paco]

Give Lonnie's minutes to Devin.

Or play them both cause we need both to develop.

Great 2nd quarter and game so far for DeJounte. Team needs to play well to start the second half and continue attacking the basket.

And Memphis has a terrible bench, SMDH.

[NASpurs]

DeRozan with his patented neutral, close to negative impact.

[Dex]

Very balanced scoring in the first half.

Makes it tough for the opponent to key in when you've got 5 players with 9 points or more.

[mystargtr34]

Vassell +16. Who cares if he isn't scoring if everyone else is while he's on the court. He doesn't need to have stats to have an impact.

[Chinook]

Don't tell Chinook that. He thinks it won't work.

I don't think it's sustainable, no. Weren't you the one going at folks for having quick reactions? I do think Memphis playing small allowed the Spurs to play small in return. I doubt Pop would've gone for this had JJJ been in the lineup. My guess is Walker would've been on the bench and Vassell would've gotten 10th-man minutes.

[Shakril]

DeRozan with his patented neutral, close to negative impact.

I want him to play like the bubble. 3 Quarters beeing quiet letting the young guys play. Take over in the fourth.

[Mugen]

The few minutes where we saw Dejounte/Keldon/Devin defending was probably my happiest moment as a Spurs fan in like 2-3 years.

I'd love to see a Dejounte/White/Keldon/Devin/Poetl lineup at some point tbh.

[mystargtr34]

Grizz were up 22-12. Since then its 54-31.

[Dejounte]

I don't think this is a quick reaction on my part... I've long believed this would be the result, and it's all coming to fruition now. It was a slow burn to get here. It's anything but quick.

Or you actually mean we won't keep winning this way? I don't know, we will see...

[hombre]

A lot to love about this game, especially seeing Pop play Vassell. The score should be 76 to 53.

I love seeing the help defense and plug and play with the youth.

Our bench is going to be killer.

[Sugus]

Damn, positive takes during a Spurs game? In MY ST? Less likely than I thought...

Jokes aside, the Spurs are having a great game. Getting White in the middle of this team is gonna be REAL FUN to watch. White + Vassell + Keldon will be a UNIT.
