white

[r0drig0lac]

It's a possibility

maybe against the kings

[SAGirl]

Whiteeeeee!
Thta's it young fella.

[SAGirl]

No Murray?? Wtf Pop? Or Gay? Dude was lighting it up smh. Pop doesn't even care anymore, should've just retired.

I know you are using humor lol
I do think he's giving White time to play with the good players to see how he does. The guy needs it.

But as for Gay, really don't know. Might just want to give an opportunity to Derozan to be the man... (I hope that is it and not an injury).

[Chinook]

Wow, did they reverse the continuation rules from last year? Whiteside hadn't even caught the ball when he was fouled. How is that free throws?

[iGetbuckets]

Jesus Derozan gets killed off the dribble lol

[SAGirl]

Poltl competes but one can see how he's prone to fouls

[SAGirl]

White!!!!!!!!!!1 much better young man.

[Flawless]

White deciding to play serious now, doing good now

[r0drig0lac]

White looks much better.

Ha.. it's absolutely humor but I'm legit surprised to not see someone actually saying that. Gay took a knee to his knee or quad (I hate to use that word here) but possible he's just done for the night with Pop's cautious approach.

There's going to be a lot of different lineups/combos in the coming weeks. People just gotta be ready and temper expectations that these guys will be in mid season form now, or that there's a set rotation just cause we speculate all summer who should play.

Spurs feeding White now. Good move to boost his confidence. He looks nervous during the first half.

[Ditty]

We will be contenders this year.

[NASpurs]

Poeltl Power

[DAF86]

White is so much better than Forbes, it's not even close. I want to believe Pop will realize this sooner rather than later.

[SAGirl]

Poltl playing well.

[spurs10]

Much better starting lineup but White is playing much better now!

[Russ]

Poeltl just keeps chucking no matter what. And finally he hits one.

This guy has a motor.

Tim might do wonders at the practice center with him.

[kjhip1]

82-0

[BillMc]

It was nice of Toronto to throw in Demar when we traded for Poeltl

I don't know. It's just the pre-season and this is the 1st preseason game I've ever watched in my life hahaah. I just want to see what we're working with. I just hope Popovich doesn't decide to start Gasol and Aldridge together for 82 games

[spurs10]

Small ball!

Not surprised about the lineup change bc White needs playing time and preseason is precisely the best time to give him run. We already know how unidimensional Forbes is, but we don't know what White can really do since he has barely played.

As for Gay, yea, wouldn't surprise if he doesn't get back in. Good time to play Cunningham, Pondexter, Blossomgame and whomever else.
