Your not the only 1.... as I watched the game, I was like if Kawhi gets hurt, we're ed. But Manu is old an Anderson an Simmons was a serious waste of time an effort. But I like Anderson, he's just not it.... he's a.... well... idk what he is.
kawhi will be a beast. but:
-not a fan of parker
-when will green be able to shoot again? (2 of 10 from beyond the arc so far)
-lma & (a 36 year old) gasol both lack athleticism and mobility
-off the bench we'll be counting on: a 39 year old, anderson + simmons, and two rookies...
-outside of our rotation we have joel anthony and two more rookies.
not cliff diving, just making observations...
glad with how spry david lee is looking, and dedmon looks likes he's made strides since the first game.
last season i wanted a trade... spurs will need one (or two) even more this season imo.

If Kawhi goes down we should tank and use this as a developmental year for all the young guys.
Other than that, yeah, this is what non-contention looks like. We could easily be a 4-5 seed with this roster. Im not convinced we've got overwhelming talent, or pieces that truly fit what we want to do.
Is Danny really still bricking shots?
Dude had a finals record 3 years ago. What's up with that?
As long as Kyle Anderson plays more than a second were ed.
Who else in the West is going to be good other than the Warriors? If we're healthy come playoff time we should make the WCF.
Contract extension.
It would be nice if Patty and Danny could regain form.
Not much margin for error even if that happens.
The Spurs are in need of an infusion of energy -- Pao and LMA have skills not energy.
Bertans and Murray may have to step up quick to inject some life. Bertans is more ready but Murray has a higher upside. Pop may have to bite his tongue and live with the havoc (good and bad) that Murray can create.
Forbes will do everything that his small frame might allow to try to contribute.
The Spurs need to find another Danny Green or another Patty Mills. That's the way they win (when they win).
I'm starting to expect this to be who Green is. He was an incredible shooter under The Beautiful Game, but I guess he's just not going to get those kind of shots running The Ugly Iso Game. I still wouldn't trade him though considering how great he is defending the 1 & 2. Parker is the one this team has to replace.
As long as Green turns it on in the playoffs like last year, he's untouchable.
It's no secret that the Spurs will be worse than last year. They basically wiped their bench and are having tryouts this year to see which rookies or fringe NBA players can make it.
Pretty sure the Spurs just punted this year and are going through a mini rebuild of the bench.
Who are you going to trade Gambit and for whom?
Again all your backend of the roster players are very cheap, some rookies (I don't think Spurs trade rookies in their first season based off preseason games-- so as much as some want LJC traded for example, I can't see it.)
Obviously if you lose a top player in the league the team will struggle, but keep in mind the last game against the Magic, Kawhi didn't play and the Spurs won that game.
This game Kawhi played (the guy who didn't play was LMA). Kiwi didn't shoot well and TO the ball 5 times. Not to bag on Kiwi, but it was poor execution all around, veterans included.
What I see here is this:
I've been here over 8 years. Believe me, it's an ST tradition.What I see here is this:
I think at least with the starting 5 we stand a good chance of being better. Might have the 2nd best starting 5 in the league this year with LMA and Kawhi given additional time to gel. Remember, Kawhi definitely hasn't peaked yet.
The bench is the big question mark. I think our starting 5 are good enough to take us to the WCF. But I can't see us outlasting GSW.
Not true, if they were doing that, they wouldn't have re-signed Manu, or Lee, both too old to be here for long and maybe just this season, (If Lee plays well he will want to get paid one last time and the Spurs should not). If they were really rebuilding and punting they would play everyone else, Murray would take Manu's spot and Bertans would take Lee's.
neither of you know how to read?What I see here is this:
and you're wrong again sagirl, Ws and Ls in the preseason don't matter. however our preseason record turns out doesn't concern me at all and has nothing to do with this thread. you don't know very much and i'm surprised you still constantly act like you do.
Shut the up you ing got
i don't have to call you anything, you agreeing with sagirl speaks for itself.
I could be entirely wrong but how often have we said this before as fans? This team is excellent at "rebuilding on the fly", seamlessly. I actually think we could see a solid product on the court this year. I'm excited to watch Bertans play. The Klaw is coming into form as a leader. LMA will do what is expected of him (maybe give a little more effort on the defensive end). Pau will be good for what's expected of him. Simmons has shown flashes but I'm not sure about him or Deadman. I know everyone's pretty hard on him but a lot of media guys are expecting Kyle to really contribute and have a breakout season (whatever that means in his case).
As for punting the season, you may be absolutely right. But I kinda thought they did that in 2012 when we saw Boris, SJax, and Patty Mills infused mid season and look how that turned out for us. Immediate improvement and the next two seasons were trips to the finals following a ref screw job at the hands of the Thunder. All in all, I can't wait and the suspense is killing me.
I'm not the got who made a post with a bunch of cliffjumping, then proceeded to try to cover his own ass by saying he wasn't. Dumbasses like you do this same every year, just like I said.
you have no idea what you're talking about.
if i was cliff diving i wouldn't have a problem saying it.
you don't know .
Well I know what you said. Want to see it again? Here's you being a pussy ass cliffjumper:
Here's you being a got and backtracking:
Pretty ing cut and dry if you ask me.not cliff diving, just making observations...
what a ing loser
i haven't even backtracked at all you stupid . i haven't changed my mind about anything i posted.
the team has has issues, i pointed them out. get the outta here clown.
