Metu and Luka in at the same time. Queue the benny hill music
Keldon is relentless good god.

Luka is a scrub!!!!! Lol
Keldon going beast mode
Lonnie shining in garbage time... Come on Lonnie. Show this much earlier.
Lonnie’s playmaking has improved a lot
Keldon has that dog in him. I dig it.
Luka’s young but he’s nowhere near being a contributing piece right now. Raw and looks lost most of the time he’s out there.
Keldon proving to be a steal at 29. Luka proving to be, well, something, at 19
Keldon and Loonie looked amazing. Lonnie made a few passes in the garbage time that were surprisingly good. Luka looks like a bust
So big stories of today's game:
Keldon dominating the game. He had 21 big time points. The way he scores just screams s om. They arent empty points like how DeMar typically scores.
Lonnie's newfound passing skill. ELECTRIFYING
Keldon looks a little more ready for the NBA even though he’s younger than Walker. Walker has come along he’s just got a ways to go, he’s greener but he’s starting to find where his shot is. Like seeing him shoot those corner 3’s looks like he’s been practicing. Luka is going to take a couple of years but eventually he could be worth the pick. Everything about his game is smooth but it just hasn’t clicked yet
Walker's play making has made a quantum leap. Yeah, it'd be nice if he were more aggressive, but he's probably the best catch and shoot option and third best creator among the starters, which naturally places him in more of a spot up role.
Johnson's combination of relentless attacking/strength reminds me some of Westbrook. His confidence/toughness are much needed on this team.
If Samanic wants to have an NBA career, his give a quotient better increasingly significantly.

Think the SL will end up being Murray, Walker, Johnson, DeRozan, Poeltl. You just can't keep Keldon out of the first unit. Once the older guards come back, having White in the second unit with Mills and or Forbes is a must.
Pop needs to call plays for Walker. They need to stop letting it be Lonnie's decision to be aggressive and force him to take more initiative by giving him the ball. He was a little off today in terms of shooting, but he's learning to leverage his athletic ability to get others good looks. That's something pretty much no one else on the team can do right now. With LMA out, there should be enough touches for Walker to get his while still keeping DeRozan happy. They just shouldn't be trying to slot Murray into a big offensive role, and I think that would happen if the SL I hypothesized would run its natural course.
Johnson and White can be the foundation of a strong perimeter defense. I still don't think Murray's as good there as some people and numbers suggest. I think his style of play and skill-set fit better on the bench. Still, this team has a path forward in terms fo bit pieces. They're missing a defensive four and still play too many liabilities to be a really good defense as is, but proper coaching could get good performances out of the team on that end.
I liked Eubanks. I kind of dominated Sampson on multiple occasions. I don't think he's a great rotation big, but he'd be fine depth, especially if the team can't get a center in the draft and/or Poeltl walks.
Weatherspoon is okay. He looks like he knows what he's doing out there but still hasn't adjusted to the speed of the game. If the Spurs end up clearing some of their glut of guards over the next couple of off-seasons, I'd be really curious to see if Quinn can move up in the Pipeline.
Metu is awful and Sam is still too green to judge.
Think that's it for the young players. I will say though that it's been a while since the garbage-time unit has looked good. Back in the Medium Three era, the Spurs had crazy-good depth with multiple long-term rotation-caliber players. I think they have that depth now. Problem is that there's not enough on top to really make use of that depth.
Oh, and Gay played well. That was cool to see. Best-case scenario is he plays well enough to entice a team like GS of LAL to acquire him in the off-season. The club did not make a mistake giving him that contract, but at this point he's holding back the team from really trying to fix their PF position. Morris and Carroll were just stop-gaps, and they need something permanent in the worst way.
Pretty much agree with you Chinook. I think they should swap Murray and Keldon. Let DJ come off the bench so he can get more shots. Keldon looks like the better player already
People say defense like it's all encompassing. Murray is overrated on ball. He's a gambler, who can be overpowered. Off ball, his length/athleticism/activity makes him an effective play maker by being disruptive and getting deflections/steals.
He looks lost with the starters. He's now like the third creator, sees White/Walker/Johnson all having their moments of strong play and wants to join in, but doesn't seem to know how to, so he ends up forcing it occasionally. But if they move him to the bench, his lack of play making will be exposed.
No Forbes and we win. could there be something to that. Everyone has been seeing it all year but pop.
I’m just here so I don’t get fined.
The Pacers seemed not very good
I think we all have to settle on the idea that DJ's ceiling is an Iguodala type role player, not a star. He needs to embrace that role and play within himself.
Keldon is the BEST player to come out of the kawhi trade. Who would’ve thought?
To those saying luka is a bust give him time he’s only 20
No one said he is a bust. He is just young and has a lot of work to do on his game.
I hope we never see Forbes ever again because of good play of Murray/White/Keldon combo and we still have Patty and Derozen that should all be in front of him.
The dude is averaging 29, 9, and 9. Wtf is calling him a bustoh wait, you mean our Luka. Yeah dudes a bust.
Its time to add Murray to whatever trade package we can get for DDR. He’s the Danny Green of point guards when it comes to dribbling and playmaking, except he can’t shoot worth . It’s time to start White, Lonnie, and KJ. Get rid of Belli, Forbes, Murray, and DDR in the offseason and then draft anything but SG
