Smart, now is the time to add talent with him. Once he fills out they'll need to get Tony Parker and Ginobli lucky.

Yes. Second question is more difficult. I like the Lakers with AD if LBJ leaves. The Bucks if Damion wasn't there. Heat?

Is that sarcasm? He played the last few minutes and all of overtime.
What a contrast between Spurs effort vs Knicks compared to Raptors.
Having said that, the NBA is hard to watch right now. The refs step in and change the course of a game at will. NBA jump balls are a joke but you never ever see a call for tipping the ball going up. And it happens every single jump ball. But they called one on Robinson vs Wemby and that was the game, gave Spurs 14 shot clock instead of 4. But now ESPN tomorrow can wallow in Wemby worship
There goes my hero. Watch him as he goes.

Raps management certainly has signs of short term decision making style.
Organization can be defined as an organized body of people with a particular purpose. Not random.

Don’t think you can compare effort. Spurs were playing their best guys. You can’t win in this league by putting together starting lineups consisting of rookies and G-League players. You just saw it with the Blazers tonight as they lost by 60.
Crazy win by the Spurs. Knicks need their guys back asap.

Not sure how that’s relevant to the discussion. Spurs started their regular lineup. We are missing 4 of our best players. See the difference?

Yes I know. Spurs are playing out of their minds lately beating Suns with no Wemby and now tonight. Refs really helped them tonight though.
I know Raptors are really undermanned but effort could be better. Memphis has been playing tough with a GLeague roster for longer. But I get it, who cares

Excuses are great but watching the raptors effort lately and id argue all year and not raising red flags is weird. Even in losses you extract info including positives. Other than better ball movement, nothing the team has done this year.leaves anything to be desired

Spurs are a bad team and they can play their main guys and still lose. But having those lineups is still infinitely better than what we are throwing out there because at least the Spurs have guys that have familiarity with each other. I don’t think our current lineup would even win 10 games over the course of a season.
The 4 wins Memphis has this month have been against the Spurs, Wizards, Sixers and Nets. They’ve also been blown out a lot a few times including a 30 point loss to the Blazers. Bane has also come back and played a few games for them.

Makes me wonder how many Raps would have won if Scottie and Jak didn't get hurt and RJ and IQ didn't have family tragedies. They'd have been so much better than these tanking teams, too good to be losing like this. Would have conveyed the pick to Spurs for sure

Wemby was going to the spurs regardless but the fact that we actually decided to compete when the option to tank was so clear is forever ridiculous

Good question. Maybe 30-32 wins?

This stretch of hoops from Jalen Green is mind boggling.

I will forever be annoyed with Masai's moves that season. Oh, we need a centre? Yeah, let's not tank for a potential all-time centre in Wemby.
