I know that Luka will get a chance to guard Doncic on a switch, but I was thinking of the "main" defender. But yeah, Luka hopefully can bother him some with his size.
Huge game to break the tie in the win column.

KBD with the big wings than with the stretch bigs with Lyles and Luka. Interesting.
I've been telling you, all his minutes with the Spurs so far has been at the 3 position haha. There's always two bigs with him on the court. He's a small forward (big wing type).
All of a sudden our 2nd unit of Diop, Gay and Luka/Eubanks is big
The defense when KBD, Luka, and Poeltl were all on the floor was STIFLING. It was old school Spurs shut down defense.All of a sudden our 2nd unit of Diop, Gay and Luka/Eubanks is big
Adding two of Murray/White/Vassell makes it even juicier.
It's very refreshing to see good defense on the perimeter, even if it's not as dominant as the Number Two/Danny Green duo, after what we suffered through with Forbes in the starting lineup and Belinelli off the bench. That's one hangup I had over a potential DDR/Rozier trade. In today's NBA I think Rozier can overcome bad defense with huge 3PA volume and high efficiency, but in that sense he might just be a more extreme version of DDR, who is rather efficient himself (albeit in different ways) and less subpar on defense.
I wonder if it was a matter of the Spurs being extremely selective, that it took us this long to have the proper size on defense. Maybe they didn't want to pursue just any lengthy forwards, as probably most of them have defense but lack offense. Maybe they didn't want to be stuck with player like that, so they made sure to bolster our guard depth first until they found a player like KBD, Luka who both have potential on offense. In fact, how many SF/PF players out there are two-way players anyway? Probably not many. Just thinking out loud...
Maybe having guard depth is your floor raiser
and having proper talent at forward is your ceiling raiser
I'm hoping that they can develop Devin Vassell as an elite onball defender. He has the length, size, and the skills.
SPURS BASKETBALL IS BACK
Big game tonight. I didn't catch the last game before the break, but from the looks of it, was a letdown loss that slipped away from the team. I'm hoping the Spurs come out with a hunger and will to avenge that loss... Regardless of the outcome (though I'd love a win for sure), I just want to see them fight a good fight. I'm also eager to see what Luka's role ends up being with all the players healthy (minus Vassell, sadly); his defense has been so noticeably good that I find it hard to believe Pop will relegate him to the deep bench once again. I don't know about starting, just because it's Pop at the helm, but he should at least get 15-20m off the bench.
Spurs by 7!
Yeah. If I don't get at least 15 minutes (and preferrably 19-20 minutes) of Luka, I'll be disappointed.

Aaaaaaand here's the likely last video featuring two groups:
Stretch bigs - Luka, Gay, Lyles
and in the background, your point guards - Murray, Tre, and "PG" Mills
Where is Aldridge in all this? Resting his vagina? Lmao
And if I don't get at least 15 minutes with that new girl in your sig, I'll be disappointed

i agree. i think rudy is going to be on limited minutes so luka could sneak in a few minutes tonight.
lol but seriously could you imagine this team if Aldridge even remotely showed up. What a disappointment.
It would be disappointing if rumours are true of his unhappiness with a bench role.
I believe it was Rudy T who said, “The most difficult thing to do in basketball is to coach an aging superstar.”
He has a chance to reinvent himself as a situational super-sub who would be match up nightmare for certain benches, just has to give it a chance.
Would love to give him the benefit of the doubt on this, guess we’ll find out soon enough...
According to the Mavs Twitter acct, over their last 6 games they rank 2nd in defensive rating.
They’ve won 8 of their last 10 games.
Aldridge and his team looking for a trade? :Wow
Dude was already quitting on the team this season because he didn’t get traded to the Warriors.
The only reason he’s in a lot of Spurs fans good graces is because Nephew turned out to be a bigger than him and the way he played the last two seasons for us (of course in a role that featured him as the #1). Put him in anything less and he shuts down. I wanna give him the benefit of the doubt but he’s too much of a losers mentality. Demar got put in a crappier situation being traded by his own team and then watching them win a le, but he still shows up to play for us, even with his flaws.
Yeah I guess I never paid attention to KBD so I wasn’t familiar with his game but he turned out to be quite a great fit on this team. Much more impactful than Metu ever was.
Lamarcus is bailing. ing ass lol. Good riddance.
knew he'd never accept a bench role
I hope he finds no team and retires on the spot. Fitting for a career loser like him.
