Mid-season Report Card, Spurs: B+

[Dr. Robert Lee]

If we didn't trot that scrub Hero Ball out onto the court, we'd be an A+ easily. Dude is taking the Spurs down with him. It's time for Dr. Pop to kick this s to the curb where he belongs out on the street with the other homeless people.

I am assuming it has to do with expectations, injuries & current record/level of play.

That's what I was thinking, overachieving/underachieving type of thing, until I saw the Lakers grade.

I don't understand this pricks problem with kawhi, only thing he's done wrong is get hurt. And an A for indiana B+ for brooklyn and we only get a B+?

[ambchang]

This thing made no sense (not that I really care too much about it).

The Spurs rested players to the chagrin of the league, dealt with injuries, and still have the #1 record in the league, and they got a B+, while the Pacers, a team that is expected to be middle of the road, is still middle of the road, got an A?

The Lakers were contenders, almost favourites to win the championship since the Dwight and Nash acquisitions, they are now fighting for a playoff spot, and they got a C-? Why did they create Fs in the first place? And why did the Bobcats got an F, we knew they would suck, and they sucked, doesn't that give them a C or something?

These were written for games through 1/23, before the Clips and T-refs lost 2 games each

Don't ruin this thread with your logic. I like reading the angry posts. lol

[Baynes]

those grades were pathetic

[phxspurfan]

The disappointments have come from second-year forward Leonard's inability to build on his bright rookie season and a continuing weakness on the offensive glass.

Granted he's been hurt, but people in the L are starting to see what blind Spurs homers aren't. Others in Leonard's rookie class are starting to out work and out shine him.

Kenneth Faried
Chandler Parsons
Klay Thompson
Kemba Walker

Granted, there are some notable busts from this draft too (Derrick Williams who? Enes Kanter who? Teach me how to Jimmer?). But Kawhi is at best a middling role player at this point.
