Asik is a huge difference maker with this second unit. If they can learn to score together effectively, we could start to blow teams out when both team's benches comes in.

Does anybody know our vs. the Spur's points in the paint?

I really thought Jones was going to be our starting 4 this season. Is it just the gameplan and new rotation McHale has been trying out the past few games? Or is Jones just not that good?

he can be a good 4th option but as the 5th option on the floor with Howard/Harden/Parsons/Lin
he needs to do more of the little thing except scoring
still need lot of work in shooting
look like he can't really score unless it's a dunk/layup

Rockets are a fun team to watch. Asik played a little better tonight.

Team is very deep, can't wait until the season starts.

Also, wonder who is getting cut?

Any chance of last minute trade?

I'm worried for Greg Smith getting cut.

Howard/Asik looked very good tonight. Duncan took a ton of uncontested open shot .... Its a good thing he's a mediocre mid range shooter. Against team with non jumpshot threatening frontcout, Howard/Asik can shut down the paint. The Spurs were litterally scared to take shots inside.

No matter who start at the 4. I have a feeling Casspi is the one that will log the most minutes. He just fits our gameplay exactly.

Dominant performance tonight even if it was preseason. Our defense made the Spurs offense look pedestrian.

No Manu. No Kawhi. Very little Parker.
Harden is still a work-in-progress. He can score, but he can't help his teammate that much - Yao Ming

Yeah, the Spurs don't try hard in preseason, or even the regular season. LOL

It's all about the playoffs for the old vets.
