rockets, lakers, jazz, clippers, mavs improve by a wide margin... the spurs' splash was adding trey lyles
morris almost signing was intriguing, guess the spurs can't be blamed with how turned out.
don't hold your breath, this roster is DOA.

if the spurs intend on pinning their future on DDR by resigning him (with no intention of trading him)... then there it's gonna be some yikes basketball.
la won't stick around to keep getting bounced in the POs. and the season before he's a FA, his trade stock won't be higher than it will be this season.
both la and DDR should be shipped out tbh.
Spurs miss Messina, tbh.... the defense is nowhere near what it used to be...
Whats getting overlooked is those bagging DWhite are assuming he got veins of a Manu Ginibili, come in and just turn it on.
Heres a scoop for you all. There's only one Manu. Coming off from the bench when you're used to being a starter is deflating unless your name is Manu.
Other legit reasons, it's only preseason and derrick could really be fatigued. They played in another time zone and games were every second day. Hes had no breaks at all.Derrick would be in conserve mode right now. That would also be coaches advice.
The biggest concern is still the lack of three. How Demar and DJ going in the department since they starters? Doesnt look promising.
I see the same mid-range shots. I don’t know what he worked on this Summer. I know it’s pre-season but Heat opened the margin with our regular guys in there. I mean Patty and Beli still the usual suspect with atrocious defense. Pop better have tricks under his sleeves, coz I’m not seeing anything new.
Only 13 3pt shots in the whole game. 4 taken by the starters.
Becky will set it up.
Ahem....
And one by Aldridge, who’s the last one I want to see chucking 3’s.
It’s just pre-season, it’s just pre-seaso, it’s just pre-season
Concur wholeheartedly. Spurs using LA to space the floor for DJ and Demar should be the last resort.And one by Aldridge, who’s the last one I want to see chucking 3’s.

I disagree with this. I want to see Aldridge used as a stretch 5 when he's on the floor with DD. He's the better shooter & DeRozan is better at drawing fouls & playmaking, so makes sense to have the ball in his hands. Hopefully their minutes are staggered as much as possible.
Team should always go with the higher percentage shot in the post and best inside /out creator on offense. That's LA.
Yay fadeaway 2s!
Congratulations on being that idiot that assumes I'm suggesting he has a Nephew type ceiling.
You don't have to be a superstar type player to get empowered by your coaching staff/team. Look at your boy JMurray. He was shooting like 20% those first 7 quarters of the series, but did they pull him? Nah, he was still out there and won Game 2 for them with his 4th Qtr explosion. Look at how they doubled down on him in the off-season with that ridiculous contract extension. I don't think it'll work out for DEN, since I don't believe in JMurray as a player, but they're doing everything right to make the guy feel like he has their full, unwavering support.
Can you honestly say the same about White?
Noone is asking for coddling and pampering. You want an answer then ask the question right, got.
White has gotten plenty of opportunity from Pop. Pop treats everyone same on the Spurs but definitely made a point to give White extra confidence by putting him into USA basketball program running as the point gaurd (still believe he should be playing more SG though). Spurs need to develop Murray and Walker IV as well. White is 25 years old. He needs to be ready to go right when he gets in the game, if he is not, it's his fault at this point.
If Demar goes the preseason without showing off a 3pt shot, I see no reason to keep him. Trade him now, because the Spurs wont go anywhere without spacing the floor. He has value.
