Plus my point on the panic button is that it's early. Preseason is for experiments and there are many guys getting playing time that will get cut. It makes it tougher to judge the adequacy of lineups, chemistry, and what not.
The bench is probably better than it looks bc they have played so many guys trying to make the team as it is and they need a shot to show what they have too. Seeing how it all comes together is part of the interest of the regular season TBH. Or if you are too pessimistic, as Elnono said there's always something else to watch.
He's looked great and has been drawing fouls off the dribble more often than last season on post ups. Other than the last game where he was off but drew a lot of fouls it is hard to make a judgment IMO. Again when Lee plays the paint is crowded for others for example and I think fitting Lee is part of the preseason equation.
we know it's preseason. this thread isn't about how the team is playing right now.
The NBA is pretty easy to predict, tbh..even last year, which gave us one of the biggest upsets in Finals history, the big upset featured the preseason Vegas favorite defeating the Finals favorite
You always get 2-5 legit contenders + fringe contenders, with the rest being pretenders or nowhere near the le..this year, the Warriors and Cavs are the obvious legit contenders, and the Clippers/Spurs are probably the fringe contenders..
To be fair: just by virtue of being in the East; otherwise i think a 7 gamer between the Spurs/Cavs i would favor the one with home court..We have the trump card of prime Kawhi sicced on a 32 year-old Lebron and just let the softies and cancers on both sides duke it outThe NBA is pretty easy to predict, tbh..even last year, which gave us one of the biggest upsets in Finals history, the big upset featured the preseason Vegas favorite defeating the Finals favorite

As always for the Spurs, getting out of the West is the real challenge..they need one of Durant/Curry to be hobbled or out to have a chance..But their immediate goal should be to push for HC against the Clippers assuming everything goes smoothly for GSW ..
that benefactor never even countered a point i made in the original post
he just repeated the same thing over and over because that's how you win an argument in his eyes

They have shed guys two seasons in a row, absolutely everybody that they could spare, they have spared. All these trade Anderson and Simmons threads are absolutely ridiculous. They don't make enough to bring anyone back that will be worth it on their own, and you lose what insider knowledge they have and then Pop has to train someone, so he's not trading a youngster for another youngster. There have been possibilities out there like Norris Cole (who signed in China I think), MCW, etc. There have been guys out there, but they are not clear upgrades. It's not evident that they will be better than what the Spurs have. There is too much hate on them in here, when Pop sees them daily and knows what they have.
Personally, I am hoping Bertans and Anderson step up and start playing well enough midseason to shelve Lee. Last season Diaw was starting to get shelved himself at times, so it's within the realm of possibility. It's not just about the youth, Lee doesn't make others around him better, I can't stress that enough. His passing is not sufficient to compensate for how difficult he makes matters for guys that like to get to the rim and I have a feeling when the season starts we are getting Celtics Lee 1.0. Spurs won't take off until he's shelved.
you're trash and will be treated as such.
don't give me your opinion unless i ask for it.
Trash that trolled the out of you with very little effort and had you thinking about me days later.
You're a nobody...just one face in a large grey crowd that has cycled through this place over the years. I can't remember caring about a single one of your takes. I walked in this thread like Simon Phoenix and bullied your ass, urinated on you and walked away. Perhaps a couple of days from now, the smell of my piss will still be fresh in your nose and you'll bump this thread again trying to claim some sort of victory.
no one gives a about what you have to say, get the over yourself.
you bumping this after this after the la rumors
you think this roster is bulletproof? ing re .
that benefactor has pouring from his mouth. none of it is basketball related.
