Nice work as usual.
Would be nice to see a rotation of game grades this year.
In retrospect I was admittedly a little harsh on Pau cause I saw him get blown by a couple of times.
Ya Pat would be perfect, especially on Spurs.

Summary of Pop post Duncan: played Mills too much
Acting as if the majority of the league has two All-Stars in their back court is absurd. And if Mills/Forbes were really sieves, the bench guards should have been better. It's not like Beli is some defensive juggernaut himself. You don't have to convince me that Mills and Forbes are steps down from Murray, White and hopefully Walker. But the Spurs weathered a decent storm and came out with a win. Last year, they had stopping Shabazz ing Muhammad from dominating them on the block, and that was with Murray, Green and Anderson.
One thing I did like last night was seeing Pop run some plays for Bertans that they used to run for Green. Unlike Green, these last few years though, Bertans was hitting his shots. I hope that continues.
Unlike you I have a life bro. Can’t just watch basketball all day in my parents basement <3
no point to keep both yacov and milotinuv as both same garbage man type player...
Theyre just white af brah.
Everyone on this board hates on Forbes way too much. He obviously has defensive limitations but he shot with confidence and opposing teams have to respect his shooting and he's definitely better than Patty.

Green last year reminded me a bit of Richard Jefferson on offense.
Seems like he misses EVERY shot, but when you look at his stats they're pretty good.
Still think he's going to be a fantastic player in Toronto.
If Cunningham still struggling Metu should play more. Guy is athletic and has decent playmaking skills. Hope to see him next. He would help out our front court perimeter defense tremendously. He is more mobile than Gay and Bertans right now.
I guess grades were based on expectations for each player? Bc having Poetle the same grade as LMA is ridiculous otherwise.
Also pat Beverley is straight trash. He never really recovered after his injuries.
Yes grades are according to expectations. Poeltl for fouling sp much a starter played 8 minutes is a bit of a head scratcher but he did some good things while on the floor.
Spurs should get rid of the useless scrubs like Cunningham, Pondexter, and Eubanks. They're just taking roster spots that could go to guys like Briante Weber, Troy Williams, and Trevor Booker.
PATFO will need to realize that Cunningham has feet of lead. He also doesn't seem to be no bigger than a 6'6" guard.
I'm all for sinking or swimming with Metu. Spurs already lost 3 1st round draft picks, might as well roll the dice and give a guy with talent some exposure. Besides Cunningham is a one year rental. Either he delivers or he gets benched. So far he was looking really lost and unathletic.
Also, don't forget, Metu also has 3 point range. I don't think its any worse than Cunningham.
I backed off on the hate personally. He’s flawed and easy to pick on. Pop puts him in tough situations at times and it’s usually bc someone else is injured etc.
He is playing better than last season and the team needs him. Not my favorite player at all, I wished Murray had not gotten injured to begin with but c’est la vie. It’s going to be a long season at this rate of trolling with peeps. They aren’t even saving the trolling for when the team goes on a few losses ...
Good point. I don’t know how Poltl was a B with his fouling and inability to play more than 7 minutes or so.

So true.
Forbes might end up being this team's version of Bonner. Not bad when he's 4th or 5th in the guard rotation (big rotation for Bonner), but not good at all when he's asked to be the 2nd or 3rd.
If Pop is just using him as a minutes sponge until White and Walker come back then it's fine. But we all know that isn't the case. PATFO didn't give Forbes that contract to have him be the 5th guard.
Walker's jumper isn't reliable enough yet to put him out there as an off-ball threat next to DeRozan and Aldridge (specially alongside a non-shooter like Poeltl and another hit and miss three point shooter like Gay).
Murray wasn't a great fit either, tbh. We might actually be benefiting on offense because of his absence.
Without a doubt the best fit at PG, on this roster, is White. His injury hurt the most.
Good thing the T-pups have Jones and Rose, yes that Rose on the roster. It remains to be seen if Minnesota will be a playoff team but let's see how well the Flaccid backcourt of Mills asnd Forbes handles Lillard and McCollum on Saturday. That should be fun.
Oof. I really don't know if I agree with this. If for no other reason than the fact that we lack depth now.
Also don't forget that defense begets offense. Murray's ability to disrupt could lead to a lot of easy transitions.
And that's all discounting the better jumper he's purported to have.
Between Murray a proven above average perimeter defender, White who looked to be a decent perimeter defender last year, and Walker a rookie who has the tools to be a decent defender; All going down. That made my whole we should be ok, on perimeter defense after trading kawhi and green sort of void. I didn't really think we would be great on defense even with them just passible, but those injuries took any the defense should be ok predictions and laughed.
I love Pop but like this has infuriated me for years. Just make the obvious adjustments in these situation.
he did not against the clippers (2015) or thunder (2016), he will not do in this situation
