    Don't bother. These guys will eat any sandwich PATFO serves up. I guarantee though that if you go back to when Gay and DD were Raptors and LMA was Portland's best player that their tune about these guys was very different.
    I think it was funny when some said Demar was an upgrade over kawhi

    It maybe wasn't said but it was definitely implied.

    No it wasn't. Wishing Dedmon was kept over the corpse of Gasol is not the same as claiming he's better than LMA.

    Essentially what was said. No one said keep Dedmon over LMA but some on here gotta stretch things for their agenda.

    So y'all don't say LMA is a scrub who's so bad he ran off Kawhi?

    Yeah I think the starting unit is going to need someone who can shoot from the outside and fight for boards. Gay in SL is great idea.

    I'm not worried about any of it except the possible DeRozan extension.

    He is ing garbage and doesn't fit next to White/Murray who should be the focal points for the next few years.

    I haven't disliked a Spur this much since RJ.

    Without any injuries, will be tough to make the playoffs. If the team really starts to gel then a 7th seed finish becomes a real possibility. The west has more parody this year. Will be a tough season.

    I think the starting unit needs Aldridge playing center and Poeltl coming off the bench. Doesn't matter who you start at the 4, Gay or Carroll.

    one can never tell with preseason games but there are some bad signs in regards to what appears to be any consistent offensive punch. that and the west is brutal.

    I remember us playing straight Garbo in the preseason of 2014. I recall thinking we were done then, having attended the game against Phoenix (which was relatively compe ive). As a precursor to the next year where we did lose to a Euro-League team, we barely beat CSKA Moscow. Basically, preseasons indicate nothing.

    Prefer Carroll tbh, higher volume 3pt shooter that doesn't need the ball as much, better defender. Keeps Gay off the bench as a 6th or 7th man.

    Surprised that pop hasn't started Carroll from jump, he makes more sense than Jakob in the SL.

    Both Gay and Carroll make more sense than starting Poeltl. Poeltl just messes the spacing up. This comes down to the senile headcoach still insisting on starting 2 bigs when he's supposed to go small. I guess he thinks it doesn't matter much cause at the 6 min mark he gon sub in Gay and the team plays small from then on for the rest of the half. Maybe he just wants to establish LA early and give him the missmatch for the first 6 min of every half. I still think the Spurs should play with 1 big all the time, but Pop seems to think otherwise

    i think i'll wait until the first game of the season to make comments on our starting lineups and rotations because that's when we'll know for certain.

    We've been over this ad nauseam, but no matter how you slice it, the roster doesn't make sense. Instead of beating their heads against the wall and trying to slog their way to another uninspiring, high 40s win, 1 and done in the playoffs, season, they need to grow a pair of balls and change it in a significant way.

    It doesn't even have to be re-building, it could be three-way trades where DeRozan goes to a team like the Pistons or Thunder and they end up with Hayward or Paul. Whatever, just do something to make sense of the roster.

    Not to shoot the messenger, but for a team with as little margin for error as this one, throwing roughly 12 mpg in the garbage does matter.

    That doesn't make any sense. Whether Aldridge starts as the nominal "PF" or not, the opposition is going to defend him with their best post defender.

    DeRozan isn't a total piece of like Jefferson was. He's just a really really really bad fit who could probably be an above average starter on a lot of other teams.

    Sure, I was just trying to wrap my head around why this senile grandpa thinks Poeltl has to start
