Baynes was a beast tonight. This is how I was hoping he would play in summer league play this year.
i'll have to read through this thread but it was fun watching this game. props for people on here keeping others posted. Thomas, imho, is a steal. Not sure what his ceiling is, but the guy looks so natural scoring, similar to Neal.
good seeing Baynes rebound the out of it and De Colo had a good game.
tbh, after the Finals, seeing us win again, even if inconsequential, feels good.

I'm not sure his future spot is at the NBA 3 position. Looks more like a stretch 4 who can kind of fill Bonner's role. This is why he dropped so far.
If Thomas can improve his defense and play the 3, he'll be KL back-up.
I see a Ryan Gomez resemblance in terms of style of play.
I just don't see it, honestly. He'll get abused by every big that goes up against him as of yet. He's pretty strong, but his standing reach is barely longer than Green. (By the way, I didn't know Green measured out at 6-7 in shoes. That's pretty impressive.) If that's true, he'll be really situational in the NBA -- even more so that Bonner is.
Sounds like Gary Neal ...

If Bonner is on an NBA team im sure Thomas will make it somewhere. Bonner provides absolutely nothing of value to the Spurs.
Matthew R Tynan @Matthew_Tynan
Ime Udoka said Cory Joseph got banged up, which is why Nando got a lot of PG minutes tonight. Wasn't really planned.
No. Neal's problem's on defense are height and awareness. He has the foot speed to get back on the break (he was often there at rim). He just can't do anything to stop the opposing player from scoring.
He'll play the 3... he might be slow but not everyone in the NBA is a speedster at the 3 that's off the bench.. The guy will come in 2nd or 3rd unit and be a scorer who can create his own shot

You wouldn't happen to have the point totals for seeings, would you?
Diaw plays the 3 defensively and Thomas the 4
problem solved tbh
dont see any good veteran SF left on the market
no more Euros either please
He can't defend 4s either tbh.
LOL! Thomas is shorter than Blair. He can't defend PFs.
I was talking about the season as a whole. I know we played pretty good defense in the playoffs, but that is because the starters played more minutes and they turned it up a notch or two because it was the playoffs. I want to see the return of the defense now for the whole season. I want everyone on the team playing tough defense for the whole of the season to build that consistency for the playoffs.
We definitely were not the best defensive team for a lot of the season. I'd say we were barely pushing top 5 for most of the season defensively. It's all about consistency and doing it night in and night out.
The inconsistency on D came mostly due to injuries tbh. After Tony went down the Spurs began to sputter on both sides of the ball. When the team was fully healthy or close, they were Top 5 in both offense and defense.
I disagree, the Spurs were nowhere near the elite defense during the season that I am looking for. Even when they were healthy during the regular season, they didn't play elite defense. They were pushing top 5 at around number 4-5. There was a pretty decent sized gap IMO between the top 2 defensive teams and the Spurs throughout the regular season.
Having said that, I was much, much more pleased with their defense compared to the last 4 seasons before this one.
The two teams that were ahead of the Spurs all season were the Pacers and Grizz, both of whom were absolutely abysmal on offense. If the Spurs maintain an elite offense while playing that level of D, that's spectacular.
De Colo haters be like "scrub tbh" "ship his ass out imo" "blah blah blah bad performance in one game judgment imo tbh" and then they shut up the next game =))))))))
in defense of the guy he seems to be working on his shot (shaky for now) to fit. Maybe finally realized he needs a 3 to fit in.
How fast is Paul Pierce? Thomas game kind of remind me of his; slow and awkward.... Successful none the less.
