crazy that it took Flopovich only 64 games and a Covid-19 break over 4 months to figure out Forbes, Beli and Lyles suck. If he played these line ups with Aldridge this team easily wins 45-50 games
Pop deserves an A for this youth development nba restart thingy. A couple more minutes for KJ, a bit less Rudy, cant really complain.

Isn't he being forced to play them because of injuries?
Thanks for the grades Timvp. I think the new look Spurs is taking the league off guard. They don’t know how to scout them and hopefully it continuous with only a few games left. The 3 guards rotation, with a motor Keldon is a sight to see. They are switchable on all positions, everybody’s a ballhandler and can create, and they’re not too shy to let it fly. I’m excited that Pop has given up on that hurried offense, no-defense lineup. We’ve waited too long to finally see these athletic guards playing together. Let’s keep the streak going. Go Spurs Go!
Technically he is finishing up his 2nd year right? Not surprising he doesn't get minutes here with his little experience on first team. Hopefully he gets promoted to first team next year and learns from the bench.
It really is, I said it in the game thread but injuries have been the best Spurs coach this season.
Yeah but the Spurs would be about 8-10 games better in the standings heading into the restart
I thought Drew played pretty well given the cir stances and his limitations.
Makes you really scratch your head that while many of us were screaming for more youth, less Mills/Beli/Forbes and at least giving White/Murray time together that we are seeing it now with positive results.
Pop doesn’t deserve too much credit here. It was a no brainer at this point after the way the season was going. Can’t believe it took this long and makes you wonder what this season looks like if he didn’t take so long to adapt and change.
And Murray has a lot of work to do still. I’m pleased with the flashes but man Sa needs him to find his niche fast and find consistent play.
Lonnie needs to take lessons from Keldon on drives. If Lonnie drove like Keldon he would be an elite finisher.
You cant change a Zebra's stripes. Ive been saying it since last year. Lonnie is afraid of contact.
My thought as well.
It's better to be lucky than good sometimes. I think the injuries are forcing this lineup change, otherwise we might be seeing the same sh!tty rotations featuring Forbes, Mills and Marco all get 25+ minutes.
I never mentioned shot blocking and was talking entirely about fundamentals and a defensive mindset. The Spurs outplayed Memphis by 25 points in 21 minutes with Poeltl on the floor, and that's an outstanding outing no matter how you look at it. My only beef was that the C+ grade seemed low, considering the huge impact.
His contract is 3 years but only 2 years of the money is garanteed.
If he can't even stand out in D-League, he has zero shot of making the real team. He's just not very good. Whatever, he's a 2nd round pick. Most 2nd rounders end up out of the league.
It seems that Metu's role is more suited for support anyway. When you have guys like Lonnie, Luka, Keldon, you are there for support. Like Eubanks, his role in the G League will be more of a support role with sprinkles of high-scoring games but learning the basics with the inherent physical tools he has should be enough for at least a lower bench role. He's still young enough to grow into that kind of role and if he ever gains a reliable 3, he'll be getting a good chunk of minutes somewhere in the NBA.
