Zach Lowe ranks the Spurs as bottom-tier team in his "league pass" ranking..

Still not a reason to bust them to 19th. the 8-12th men on a team are seldom the reason to turn up the watchability of any team. I doubt I can even name those guys for any other team that is not the Spurs in fact and they are not the reason I would watch any other team.

(I suppose, unless you are a fan of a local player like the Argentineans who root for their local Garino, or unless it's a player that one linked since college, like me and Anderson, or unless it's Boban, and one never really knew if Boban was playing) Diaw is a huge loss in watchability IMO, but he seldom showed up for games actually. That is just an excuse by Lowe.

Yes that's true, Spurs should be much ranked higher than that. But that's Lowe, from him being ranked low is a compliment. Last year for example had the rockets as a dark horse le contender and Utah as a playoff team. Also he had A Davis for MVP. I think it's too easy for some reporters that are trying to bring attention to themselves to do that be predicting the Spurs demise.

Well the Spurs Organization obviously agrees since they had zero plans to show any of yhe pre-season games.

He really only played last season. I actually thought last season the end of the bench was the most watchable it's been since I have been a fan. It's why J.Simms caught on, and it's how Boban got his following and anderson was the PG of that crew. I enjoyed watching that group quite a bit... in fact I miss Boban...

Team took a tumble in watchability with Deadman though... big time. Hope to be wrong obviously lol

You'll change your mind when Manu turns him into a pick n roll scoring machine

l hope so. He seems to not have very good hands which is a real concern and there are issues with him and Lee getting in each other's way... really not things Manu can fix.

But the guy can get better is what I am hoping.
