He's still on it right now conversing with them

[Dejounte]

He's trash talking on White... Classic Drew lmfao

[Sugus]

I'm really liking this At The Line podcast-show thing, tbh. Fills my post-Spurs game itches. I was cringing at the thought that no one was gonna call (who uses phones anymore, tbh?) but the public was really engaging, tonight at least. For anyone not watching, I'd recommend you tune in, they're on YouTube live right now and after every game.

Well, guess he's off now. I'm pretty sure the video will be uploaded after it's complete.

I caught it I love this guy

For sure a sign that times are changing, league-wide. At its core, it's just simple math... 10 years ago, players were shooting and making what, 30, 40 shots worth 2pt each? Now they're making about that amount, but worth 3pts. The weird thing would be scores staying under the 100's. I've grown desensitized to high-scoring games, they're not even a sign of good basketball anymore. Just the modern chuck-a-fest NBA.

Yeah, true. On the other hand, if we still had Forbes, Morant would've dropped 60+ tonight and we'd have likely lost so we are much better off.

It's not a chuck fest if so many shots are going in. People like you used to that pros couldn't shoot. Now they can. You're still ing.

I still have flashbacks of literally EVERY SINGLE STARTING SG on the league getting 20+ on us, every single night. I remember that Phoenix game last season, Booker went OFF on MoFo Forbes. LaVine as well. Jamal Murray also. Harden as well...... The list goes on. So ing glad he's off the team for good - what a nightmare having to root for that guy.

Not at all, it wasn't a in', just explaining to my guy Padre. It's just the way the game is played nowadays. Tbh, if I had anything to truly about, it'd be the soft calls on offense and the leeway that shooters have in terms of creating contact - those are unarguably making the league a worse product. But the fact that now, every single player is a shooting threat, makes the game really entertaining.... When it's not turning into a chuckfest. I think we're a counter-strategy away from truly achieving balance - I predict a midrange comeback in a couple years, at the helm of some Shaq-esque dominant inside force, that combined with the hugely increased level of outside shooting, will make the NBA the most dynamic and versatile basketball product on Earth. Heard it here first, folks.

Murray played well homie. Ain’t you happy about that at least?

Extremely! I've been saying he needs to focus on being aggressive looking to score... Everything will fall into place after that...he keeps overthinking trying to please pop, and stop DDR and LMA from pouting and that causes him to make silly mistakes or be passive some games where he takes less than 10 shots

[Dejounte]

[duncan2k5]

Aldridge and DeRozan still managed to have a negative +/-. Only 2 guys on the entire team.

They're fool's gold...we won in spite of them...they didn't contribute to the win...if Luka started in place of LMA and white played instead of DDR, we would have still won...by more even

I'm beginning to love the bad takes on here. It's like performance art, people smearing all over themselves.

I've been saying all along. This fool doesn't even watch the games. He just comes on here to . Every post he makes pretty much proves he doesn't watch any Spurs games.

LMAO I was listening off-screen at the start, must've missed that it was him... He said 6 words lol, what a guy. I'm officially on the DrewTrain now

E: "he got a big contract, CONGRATULATIONS *rapidly claps*

[SpurPadre]

Later down the road, I think it would be worth trying Tre Jones on Morant for at least a spell to see how he fares.

Drew, if you're reading this: please start a podcast.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Wow, we were actually fun to watch out there. Love Vassell being part of the closing lineup

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Trey Lyles deserves an A for staying on the bench.

[TDomination]

Loved the game, very entertaining to watch. The jerseys looked great as well, as good of start as we could have had to start the year!
