he’s the only one with deep playoff experience. Hard to quantify how much that impacts our team. That alone means he will never get an F. Bc even if he has a bad game he is there to pick not only himself up but his teammates too. I bet he was the first person consoling DJ after his ty play
"I liked that he once again pulled the plug on Forbes."
So you also liked that he put Forbes in to begin with while stiffing Primo, Jones and any other person at the Community College level or above whether in the NBA or not.
Lets get those sinuses cleared up.
Honestly he's better against Giannis, Jokiac is just bigger and stronger than Poetl and has enough athletic ability to bully poetel a little, Giannis isn't as prone to push him around and lean on him wearing him out. Poetl is long enough to bother the Greek freak a bit and fast enough to keep up.
hold up hold up. Who's better than giannis??? Poodle or Jokic??? lol.. Giannis isn't strong???? Poodle couldn't stop Jokic off the dribble and he's big and slow as . And you want us to believe the Greek freak is slower?????
Eubanks is a 3rd string center and plays like it. It was mentioned he didn't do much on offense or defense. Most 3rd string centers don't. He is going to be in over his head anytime we aren't playing a bottom feeding team.
Every time Pop plays Forbes and McDermott together his grade should never be higher than a B and that is being generous.
People talk about Dejounte "running the offense". Would have thought by now people understood that's not what his job is. What does that even mean anyway?
This team more often than not will come up short with Murray playing hero ball.
Thad is just not a great fit. He may have looked disinterested in the game, but I watched him warm up, and he spent more time on the court than just about anyone else, practicing shots and working with the coaches. I think the Spurs just need to find a way to trade him as soon as they can. He’s not going to help us and he’s killing his value every time he hits the court.
Two big shots late in the 4th might have tipped it when the Spurs were on the brink of the lead: a McDermott three from the corner and a Vassell three from the top of the key. Neither went down. Nuggets went on a run and the SAS didn't get it back.
It's evident this team will compete. White is terrific on defense. This team needs consistent bench production. The different looks, like the zone, are fascinating. Pop is trying things out. This is the sort of game that will teach the players how to grind and get things working down the stretch. This Denver team has been deep in the playoffs several times.
No Jakob does better against Giannis than Jokiac, he is not as inclined to bully Poetel and more inclined to use speed Which is better for Poetl. The word was against, not than. Jokic for the second half wasn't using a face up game against Jakob, he was backing him down.
The is this fan fiction ?
I also hope to see a bit more of Landale. Tonight shows that we are really lacking in length. When Nuggets players attack the rim they go for jams. When our guys attack the rims they go for outstretch/rushed layup. Our line up mainly consist of 6-5 players theirs 6-8. Also despite more mins DW actually shoots less (or ard the same) and assist more as compared to last year. He basically alceded usage to other players.
Landale is going to be excellent for this team, I feel. Just need to get him into the rotation once he's ready.
If the bench was more productive Spurs win.
Lonnie needs to score.
Eh, grades are based off of expectations. I expect Forbes to be pretty damn bad, tbh.
Plus, an F for 8 minutes played would be harsh. Fs are better save for a player who massively underperforms in a somewhat important role, IMO.
We have no closer, we would lose a lot of this kind of games. Looks like we would be compe ive but still lose , a lot like the Pistons last year well coached team but no offensive talent to close games.
Forbes can do much worse than D.
So its best to leave the F- for a really awful performance that is around the corner.
I acknowledge the author's grades as carefully considered in the case of Forbes and fair.
Everyone here ting on Forbes needs to bring that same energy to Lonnie bc he’s the reason why we signed Forbes. Lonnies ty “I play hard every 3 games” shtick is getting really old.
Good showing overall. Joker just closed them out just like great players do. The last jump shot is unguardable.
The reality is that Spurs are undersized as compared to the elite teams in this league.
shouldve tried to get a real defensive big who isnt afraid to be of posters...that Allen centre from cleveland would be nice...he can come off the bench but logging starters minutes given the matchups that night
Poeltl has always struggled defending dominant post up bigs. Him getting in foul trouble after 3 minutes is a given. Can you actually bet on that?
I agree with everything but Forbes not getting an F, he did absolutely nothing and was the 6th man on the floor for the other team.
Milwaukee was thrilled to give this guy back to us, I wouldn't doubt that they had a party the night he left lol

thing is: you go get yourself a massive big who isn't getting pushed around, you spend as muc time complaining about him not being able to close out or getting blown by anyone on crutches. gotta pick your poison.
"Hold my beer"
We have that player. Pop just doesn’t want to play him because Eubanks is a vet and Landale a rookie
