Is this a coincidence? I think not. Three of those games were basically blowouts.
Some might decry the lack of "compe ion", but the reality is that, offensively, we don't need Neal, and he is a defensive liability. He shouldn't see that many minutes when he returns, IMHO.
We've won our games by an average score of 115.5-93.25. Owning the opposition on both ends of the court!
I'd trade him and Blair but what decent, young player makes around 2 million a year and is on the trading block?Is this a coincidence? I think not. Three of those games were basically blowouts.

Kinda, we have had some easy matchups lately.Is this a coincidence? I think not. Three of those games were basically blowouts.

To be fair, the Spurs needed that after a very difficult start to the season. Two sets of FOGAFINIs, and a lot of games on the road.
I'm not surprised the Spurs have been blowing out opponents with Leonard, Duncan, and Splitter as the starting frontcourt.
The Spurs really haven't gotten good backup PG play since he's been out, tbh.
lol at neal haters
no one is acting like he is some 3rd option
hes a bench player who was playing out of position since the teams entire small forward rotation was missing
hes instant offense who can actually pass and is good for 10-15 minutes a game
unless manu goes to the starting lineup then we have no real backup PG and neal is the best of the 3 in that situation
de colo and manu together doesnt look good unless de colo is the ball handler
And they didn't get any good backup pg play when he was healthy, tbh.
Should trade him, but Blair and Neal for who?
They could try Patrick Patterson or Greg Smith, then if they wanted they could take the time to pull up Wilkerson from the Toros.
But neither of those dudes are on the trading block as far as I know, but I'd much rather have one of them than Blair, Neal would be the to make the trade look a lot better. Then again, I'm not sure the Rockets would trade them to us.
Neal + Blair would also work for Larry Sanders as some others may have pointed out, but again, he isn't on the trading block.
This is all just wishful thinking, though.
Well I guess the op's point is we don't really need him. We have enough firepower. Giving that the only thing Neal could possibly add then is bad defense.
You have to be ing re ed to not appreciate what Gary Neal brings to this team... Jesus...
THen again he is not a good backup PG either though TimVP so.......... Damn we need a backup PG.
How many games Leonard has played since his comeback ?
Also , Manu bas been playing better lately
So, attributing those stats to Neal's injury is kinda re ed TBH
I love how goes from Neal With It the past two years to him being now. ST is so bipolar tbh.
The has balls of steel. Noone on the team is anywhere the shooter he is. Noone outside of the Big 3 can create their own shot the way he can. And he makes under $1 mill this season. Now why in the world would any of you re s wanna get rid of him ?
when TP s the bed against Thabo again while Manu goes ghost leaving no one to create our offense, we'll be singing a different tune.
Neal wit it.
Neal is a shooter. And needs to play like one. Don't expect him as a playmaker or even a dribbler. And let it flow...
yes it is.
neal is no more than an upgraded version of roger mason imho. solid role player but never expect him to make a centerpiece of your future plan. i don't think spurs are trading him away anytime soon and you can hardly find any decent replacement for that price. blair might probably get traded though since he's not given enough minutes in SA. you can't leave him on the reserve squad all time like it's MLB, play him or lose him tbh
LOL! You dont think Pop noticed that Gary was one of the few that manned up against the Grizz,that lost series right there probably guaranteed Gary a job for life as a Spur as long as he's healthy and wants to be here.
That's the million dollar question though...and Gary being an older rookie,this next contract is pretty much his ONLY shot at a big payday,will the Spurs be that team????
I have my doubts
Well, a couple of games against a crappy Mavs team and the track-star Rockets will do that. I think you're reading into this what you want to.Is this a coincidence? I think not. Three of those games were basically blowouts.

Another game without Neal, another offensive showcase and another blowout victory.
Honestly, we have seen a real backup pointguard since Baron got Davis ended TJ Ford's career.
Yes, Gary Neal being out is the reason everyone is suddenly hitting 3s.
We actually have a real backup point guard now that he's not out chucking up threes and ruining the offense, tbh.
