Thoughts from Utah Game

Good thing I missed this game.

To address your synopsis, you cannot just "have a guy go bonkers" as a repair item. It's not something you can control. That's like saying "the key to getting rich is have the stock market go bonkers and be invested the right way" then making that a game plan.

It's not as much of a suggested game plan as it is a theory. Albeit, with our current balanced attack it's quite difficult for anyone to "go off," but even on high ball movement-oriented teams like Atlanta and Golden State you can witness Teague and Horford/Steph and Klay do notable damage. In my opinion, I think our most likely player to have that kind of game is Manu.

It's more "Thoughts from Spurs season" but great read nevertheless

Agree with most of your points. Solid write-up

I never saw Kawhi as a franchise player. And although he had an fmvp final series, i still wouldnt invest as much into him as pop has. TD was still our best player in the playoffs overall.

I agree with the Kawhisos, not only is Kawhi not there as a player yet (and may never be), but we play much better when we spread the ball waiting for the best shot. Maybe Pop is getting sick of the ball movement as its quite difficult to teach/coach/maintain and wants to just do a simple "dump it to the star player" plays
