Rudy Gay?

Best start in franchise history and fans are calling for trades after one loss.

Coz it doesn't matter what the Spurs do in the regular season. The Spurs are failures if they don't win the championship. LMA is looking like a failure if he can't prove that he can carry the team to the promise land.

Especially against the Dubs. Bench Danny. Start Kawhi at the 2 and Rasual at the 3. Kawhi vs. Klay = advantage Spurs; Butler vs. Barnes = advantage Spurs. Tony vs. Curry = advantage Dubs, however, Curry is forced to play D against Tony. Kawhi is our best shooter and he has improved his handles. As long as he doesn't dribble into too much traffic, he handles the ball at least as well as Klay. He would devour Klay on D, and neither Klay nor Barnes could cover him.

Good point. For our purposes, I actually like Butler more than Rudy. Butler is a team guy who doesn't need much to have impact when his shot is falling. Overall though, our problems are bigger with Timmy looking poor the past few games, and now injured, LMA underperforming and Tony having looked so bad against the Dubs after rest bc of the injured hip. We are not whole going into Feb. or playing too well.

You won't know if the Spurs are failures until after the season is over, then. Why bother opining on anything in the meantime?

Because we are fans and that's what we do. We react to what we see.

We cheer the team on. We agonize over a bad play. We agonize over years without a championship. We get depressed over a missed opportunity to win it all. We celebrate when we win. That's what fans do.
