If you don't understand why the fact that West started tonight is relevant, then you didn't read the original article, or even the headline.
He´s been rolling for the last 8 games.
Actually, it's the last six games, and he's started all but two of those if memory serves.
We're talking here about the same "Spurs' blog" that named Patty Mills a member of Spurs' next BiG3
They're ing on drugs.
The compe ion for mouse clicks is fierce.![]()
Last 8 since Dec 23 vs Minnesota as bench 13 points 5 reb +10
vs Houston bench 2 points -5
vs Denver Starter 10 points +22
vs Minny Starter 11 points -7 this game every starter except Kiwi sucked it was the bench who carried us to victory
vs Phoenix Starter 4 points +10
vs Houston bench 10 points +2
vs Bucks bench 10 points +5
vs Jazz Starter 14 points +19.
He´s been on a roll starter or not, finding his way with the team, has the same amount of production as a starter or benchwarmer like the numbers are showing, he even has one sucky game as starter and one as a bench player, those pound writers are lame.
If you're including a game where he scored 2 points and went -5, I'm wondering if someone needs to explain to you what "on a roll" means. He's started to produce more when he's been in different lineups, because he struggles in the role they predicted he would struggle in. Maybe time will prove that wrong as well, but right now it's pretty accurate.
yeah worst Spurs-related site![]()
He doesn't fit particularly well with Diaw because they're both PFs and one of them is forced to play as an undersized C with little rim protection abilities. Pair him with one of Duncan/Aldridge, and things are fine.
West/Duncan net rating = +19.6 net rating
West/Aldridge net rating = +14.9 net rating
West/Diaw net rating = +7.4 net rating
West isn't the most ideal guy to pair with Diaw, but I don't think that means he doesn't fit in well with the 2nd unit period. Play West with the bench guards/wings + Duncan and they'd have success. Play him with the bench guards/wings + Aldridge and they'd have success.
, even when West/Diaw do play together they have success. We're just spoiled, and if a lineup isn't absolutely dominating, that means it's an issue that is a cause for concernNo, West/Diaw shouldn't be getting major minutes come playoffs, but for the regular season it's fine and it's a good way to keep Duncan/Aldridge's minutes down.
In general, I think West is fitting in well with this team and will continue to do so going forward. Even if the fit with Diaw isn't perfectly ideal, you can't really ask for more from a 4th big who's making the vet minimum.
Diaw and West together would produce optimal results against the Dubs, tbh.
The rolling started at Dec 23, if you want to count just good games its since the last 4 games not the last 6. I have doubts about your ¨on a roll¨ concept too since you are including a 4 point +5 which is nothing ¨on a roll¨ alike.
Nitpicking stuff is just omitting what really happened, his breakout game started Dec 23, since then 3 good games as a bench player, 3 good games as a starter, 1 bad game as a starter and 1 bad game off the bench.
They didnt predict squat... Jeff Errors fans, too much free time I guess.
Like every new assembled piece he needs time, people forget how bad the Heatles were in their first season ´till things got together, Chris Bosh was missing in action and they had a good run, we are doing great .
I think this is one reason Pop keeps playing them together. Develop dat chemistry.
that's ST tbh
and bumping the thread after a game in which West was a Starter is weird tbh
Sans the meat, of course.
When was the last time this guy missed a straight on midrange jumpshot, tbh
It's more that they thought Ayres was going to be the backup three that discredited them.

Not in the least. Being undersized doesn't give you an advantage if you are also slow. West at his age isn't a defensive counter to anything.
Shooting 59% from 10-16 feet this year, and 51% from 16-23 feet...dude has been absolute money from midrange.
The correct pairing for West is to play with Duncan. Duncan has +/- 22 last game and West had like a ridiculous shooting percentage, he missed like once in like 8 shots.
We'll see plenty of those two together tbh.
Duncan usually gets subbed out first and LMA/Diaw play a couple of minutes together, which actually looks good at least in the eye test. Then LMA gets subbed out and West comes in, and eventually Pop will bring in Timmy for Boris in the 2/4th quarters.

What a bunch of incompetent re s![]()
But but but... he played with such passion, he clapped hands![]()
Ayres, Chris Copeland and Ronny Turiaf all great clappers, great motivators![]()
