    McCombs was about selling concessions more than anything. Supposedly the contract he finagled at the Alamodome with concessions sales is a major reason why the team wanted another arena. ing ridiculous.

    Yeah, he sold the team without the concession rights.

    I love reading this though. The parallels between now and the early 90’s are wild.

    To confirm Pop thinking the NBA has become no-defense 3G circus, evidence is All-Star jokey games of the last 10 or so years, with all-star game from 80s, 90s.

    You can still play defense though but I feel like these guys only have so many bullets so you have to choose what side of the ball to play on.

    I hoop with kids near half my age and my only value is defense and passing the ball, outside the fact I DJ from my wrist watch. Someone has to D the up in basketball and in life.

    Are really some people debating about the quality of the games during a tanking year? The same who want the team to suck, or play good but lose...

    I guess Detroit and Houston games are must-see.

    You tank, you suck. Always... There's no tanking team in history that was playing even remotely good.
    we are. Pop is masterfully keeping us compe ive while we lose and build our youth ,I think

    Couple disasters here and there like the Cleveland and Heat win but other then that 4th lowest place will work provided Gramps keeps it up in March and April.

    Spurs need a centerpiece. Just one.
    Victor W is our dude tbh... we need a bit of luck. I watched a lot of Victor games in the French league recently, the hype is clearly deserved. All will depend on his health.

    The end of yesterday’s game was amazing. ASVEL was up 1, with the ball. They got the ball to the corner, but a breathtaking close out by VW caused the shot to be off. Metropolitans PG brought the ball up, missed the layup, one of their wings bounced it off the backboard to VW, who dunked it with 3.5 seconds left for the win.

    I saw the game, that was a great finish.
    The thing with Victor is that he is already a finished product, he can improve things here and there but there is nothing fundamentally wrong with his game on both side of the ball. To top it all he has a great bb iq he is taking the good decisions and he is not a selfish player. I believe he will contribute at a high level right away in the NBA. We need to see how he will handle the physicality of the NBA though, he will have to learn to draw fools. Opponents are gonna have a hard time defending him without fooling and trying to push him around. Defenders length won't bother him at all, they will try to bully him of course but he has a cold head and should not fall for it.

    I'm super excited. I do hope Spurs can land him, that would be great for the franchise but also for him, I don't trust any other organization to develop him. Pop and the FO are doing a great job to build a young compe ive team that will give him the best chance to flourish.

    Let's cross the fingers

    Current players have lots of tricks in their bags, but last night Ja reminded me what the real issue is. Watching SGA the other day, too--

    These guys get absurd calls in their favor. Harden got them with the rip-through. On drives, if the defender is even vaguely moving while walled up, SGA and Ja get calls every single time. You simply cannot guard these players - it's rendered illegal. Each derives 30% of their points from the line, which is absurd.

    Do the dudes who host Locked On Spurs read this forum? Days after we're talking about Rod Strickland and I posted the video of his dumb pass versus Portland, they're talking about it on the podcast . Just say hi bros.

    Sure, it's an NBA team with NBA players, and any team in the NBA can beat any other on any given night, but you can develop individually players while globally sucking, just because said players are precisely learning the game and the things that make the difference... And it's fair to expect improvement with young players, no matter what...

    Although it's true the team has shown interesting things those last few games. It should be interesting to see how Sochan & co. will react when teams will start to adapt to their games.
