This is the optimal starting lineup. For sure.

[Dejounte]

JC and Trae seems to have a repaired relationship...that hand on Trae while he's talking to him.

[John B]

I like Demar attacking the rim early

[John B]

2nd already on Lonnie??

[Uriel]

Jakob is an elite rim protector and good finisher. He really reminds me of Tiago.

[John B]

See that's not very smart foul

[Chinook]

Should be an offensive foul. Walker wasn't in Young's path, and Trae jumped sideways to get the contact.

NBA needs to fix this, but they are all about their scoring numbers.

There are clips of Luka jumping like 4 feet forward into a defender and he gets three free throws.

[John B]

Patty makes those stupid, already-committed, passes that are easy telegraphed

Poeltl might protect the rim a little better and thiago was a little better in the pick n roll. That being said, very sim8lar skillsets and strengths.

[John B]

you can live with that

[Dejounte]

Patty makes those stupid, already-committed, passes that are easy telegraphed

Can't wait til Tre takes those minutes

[Uriel]

The big question going forward will be if Pop can maintain this starting lineup once Aldridge returns.

[EasyMoney]

Lonnie got lost on that Trae 3. Goodness

[Dejounte]

I just realized Onyeka Okongwu is in. A LOT of Spurs fans wanted him pre-draft.

[John B]

shoot that Lonnie

[Dejounte]

Come on Lonnie ugh

[ace3g]

Well that double digit lead is gone...

1:37 - 1st

	1	2	3	4	T
SA	29				29
ATL	27				27

[Dejounte]

Trae straight up abusing us. White needs to be assigned to him.

[Dex]

Young warming up real quick

[NASpurs]

The defense from the bench is laughable. Same happened last game against GSW.

[YoungbuckMurray]

Lonnies gotta stop thinking and just play free. You can literally see him thinking on almost every play. You can’t play in the NBA that way

[Dex]

Lonnie was lucky he got a hand on that ball, otherwise that was a wide open dunk

Whatever happened to playing solid defense instead of reaching anytime the ball comes in your general direction?

[John B]

I thought it was DeMar and JC yelling at each other?

Lmao JC is for sure not coming here now...

Nah it was DJ. DJ's not backing down on anybody.. he got everybody's back

[John B]

there you go Lonnie.
