Gay has become ridiculously efficient. His play in the offensive end has been simplified a lot and he's benefiting from it.
I’m holding on to some hope that there’s something about Cunningham that the coaching staff knows and we just don’t see it.

Felt lucky to win. Going to be a rough year with this squad. So many fringe players. Aldridge and DD our only real reliables. Concerned about minute loading 33 yo LMA.
I love how some folks are so immature that they look for every little victory, even in the wider context of the Spurs winning a game against a playoff team. Towns being in foul trouble forced more touches into Teague. Had KAT been healthy, the starting back court would have scored lower.
btb, trying to add in the entire back court into the 40 club would be dumb. That's assuming that four or more players combining for 40 points would be a bad thing. Such a combination happened all the time last year. Last night, the entire Wolves guard team scored 55 points on 69 possessions. That's horrible, and not at all a sign that the Spurs will be particularly unable to win games offensively.
This team really needs some explosive, momentum type players that will bring energy off the bench. That old school Ginobili, a spurt of Jonathan Simmons... that's why I cannot wait till Lonnie gets back.
We need him and his aggressive play, more than anything else. He may not be as fundamentally sound on D as Pop nornally likes, but he his juice and athleticism over weights that.
Thanks for the grades and review. I missed the 4th Q and parts of the 3rd and when I went to bed it was a cliffhanger of a game with Mills and Forbes gettting lit up, coupled with Lamarcus being off.
Glad to discover the team pulled it out. Kudos to Demar who made some clutch plays.
Too bad Poltl played only 8 minutes bc the team misses his minutes. Lamarcus isn’t going to last long at 42 minutes per game.
Overall glad to get this win though.
I wonder what it’d cost to get Pat Beverly. A player like him would be perfect for the time being...
im sure he’d be expendable with the guards they have there.
So the soonest QPon and Dante can be traded is December 15. Combined they have close to 5 million on non guaranteed contracts. So they can be moved and cut easily. But what could the Spurs add to sweeten the pot. I don’t want to touch picks. Maybe Militinov?
anyways pat bev is making 5 mill w 1 year left on his contract...
im fairly certain that’s why spurs still have q and Dante. No attachments and can be moved.
Think if you move those two you need to get back a wing. Spurs need one right now anyways and if Rudy needs to take some games off bc of some nags, it will be even more evident.
Well white and Walker would theoretically be back
1) Cun's deal is almost certainly guaranteed 2) The non-guaranteed portion of contracts doesn't factor into trades.
I certainly think PATFO could look to use those contracts to find a real rotation piece. They're going to have to be willing to give up future value to get someone, though. Simply put, the amount of money they'd be able to take back means there really isn't a bad contract in that way that isn't a BAAAAD contract.
I just hope we can bring the same heart and intensity on the road. I feel like the Spurs are going to struggle immensely on the road.
thanks for the grades...very well made, as always. then lack of a point guard, expecialy on defense, was clear...we won the game but our weakness won't give us the chance to win many games...expecially if we have to rely on lma and ddr for so much time.
I thought Poeltl was playing well, so i don't understand why so little yime for him...but is defense at the point and on the wings that is the main problem...hope at least White and Walker come back soon...
White needs to play PG. you’d still have Forbes/Mills and an undersized perimeter crew.
Walker can hopefully help them on the wing though. I think they need some PG depth from r now but some wing depth all season.
I don’t believe Huestis will help bc he’s not finishing his rehab until late Dec.
I'd start Walker at PG now it he were healthy. He doesn't have the greatest handles, but he can do as well as Bryn will on that end while adding size and speed to the back court.
Just some hair brain scheme I cooked up at work. Didn’t have time to fact check
DeRozan at the 1 and Walker off the ball at the two..
DeRozan playmaking ability is really underrated and him not being a catch and shoot guy hurts his value as a true 2 in this system..
Walker isn’t the best option as a catch and shoot guy like a Mills, Forbes or White but his athleticism along with defensive potential makes him intriguing in SL.
Walker can be like Murray and bring things same to the table...along with just being a better shooter
Mills and Forbes. Gonna be hard to choke that down all year!
More confirmation Forbes is outplaying Mills and easily outplays his low contract. Hopefully both play better soon though. Poeltl getting B+ seems weird when he cant even stay on the floor. Hoping Gay is ok.
December 15 will be an interesting time. By then the Spurs can trade some of the new signings and should have some idea of what White and Walker will bring cause they will have been back for a week or two by then.
He's ing washed. Went 0-8 last night. You really need to watch the other 29 teams bklynspursfan
You rang, Melo?
Milotinuv is surely expendable now with jacov here
Not really cause you want to replace Gasol next year
2 players not all of the guards. I submit that the majority of games where we start Forbes/Mills at PG will result in us giving up at least 40 to the other team's starting backcourt. We'll see if it comes true but it certainly did yesterday. Just look at the stat line posted by OP.
