He just wants it in last 4 minutes of the game
Always got a chance when you play fellows who can defend, who are strong and fast and jump high.

Wow, decent lineups and the team is suddenly watcheable again. Still flawed? Yes, but a step in the right direction
Derozan played well at the end, but Spurs wouldn't have won this without White's effort.
Honestly, Lonnie doesnt show up until the second half anyway. He should come off the bench. Starting 5 should be DJ, White, Keldon, DeMar, Poetl going forward
I'm sure both. This new Pop version sucks ass. He's a ty clueless coach and a damn idiot follower (for some unknown reason) politics-wise.
He also bricked some open 3s. That Rudy Gay 3 was huge.
Hard disagree. This game, we got the aggressive, decisive White, but is that a certainty for every single game? It wasn't the case for all of this season, neither the past one. Lonnie can bail you out of broken plays with athleticism, is doing amazing work at positioning himself off-ball (whether our guys find him is another thing entirely), and he's got very good passing instincts. The one young player who'd benefit the most coming off the bench, is Dejounte, because he'd get the touches and reps that he needs, whilst facing subpar defenses, which wouldn't be so harsh on his non-elite ballhandling and playmaking skills. The fact that Lonnie turned on the jets late today doesn't mean he always does it, especially when White was so dominant out of the gates, which explains his lack of touches. I'm expecting our young guys to rotate in their prominence throughout these 8 games.
Having said that, I also like Keldon off the bench more than I like him as a starter, for this season at least. He's a game-changer when he's on the court, and the energy he brings to the court, and the size and strength he plays with, are much better used against smaller bench defenders, which he can easily power through. With DeMar and Jakob, and DJ to an extent, all being non-shooters fixed to the SL, we really need Lonnie's off-ball positioning and corner 3's, whereas Keldon isn't as established a shooter - though I really liked his form on the few threes he took today.
Next year, I'd like to see Lonnie-Keldon at the 2-3, with my pipe dream being White at the 1 and DJ getting the reps and development he needs as the bench PG. Do the Spurs have the balls to do that when they've already commited to DJ long-term? I don't know, but games like today's make it clear that Dejounte still has a lot of work and development to do, whereas White is (should be) practically a staple for the SL.
Loose thoughts:
1. seems like only having two of these three guys: aldridge, derozen, and gay, opens up some shooting opportunities for the other guys on the team and makes us better imo.
2. its funny how pop said the focus would be on development of the young guys, and that seems like a better plan that whatever we were doing before the season got postponed.
3 i wish white's taking charge defensive plays would rub off onto some of the other players.

DeMar DeRozan said he didn't have a chance to check out Derrick White's chipped tooth courtesy of drawing his 5th charge: "I know he kept complaining about, but I’m pretty sure he can buy some new teeth." #Spurs
At the time stamp 5:02 in the second quarter when they go to the bench for a time out, Keldon yells at DeMar "pass the ball!". Can someone do a gif of this? Lol
So Pop isn’t very high on Dejounte... interesting. He will like NY tbh
Demar and DJ to the Knicks for Randle and Payton plus their 1st rounder. Who says no?
Just watched the full highlights. I don't think I have had this much fun watching a Spurs game this year other that 1 game Timmy coached.
What did he say
He's failing the PG eye test every time
Only played 21 minutes. Rest of the starters plus KJ played over 30.
missed the game, i hope the young guns did well. it’s not like the kings are a good team though...
The dude is ugly as and looks like an aye-aye but he sure can ball.
hopefully demar raises his trade value.
he could shoot 90% for the rest of this season and trading him would still be of the utmost importance.
