Is this normal?


No and while we’ve made solid players of some of them it’s also part of the reason we lack overall talent

Need to find a way to send Duncan to the Lakers. You need shooting? Take on this contract.

He will actually go out there and swing his elbows, get rebounds, and set some crushing screens.

100 percent. He would be doing all the things we desperately need right now. Bam can’t be doing it all. He’s not going to make it through the season.

Lotto team without Bam. The depth in the front court is so razor thin this team playing with so much fire.


Eager for Yurt to return.

Nobody is trading an expiring contract for Duncan without major draft compensation. Duncan ranks right up there with the Hassan, Waiters, and James Johnson deals but may actually be worse when push comes to shove considering we can’t upgrade for Jimmy.

Tyler has 9 rebounds.... and we are still getting demolished on the glass even with that heroic production.

Of course, Bam is the only capable big. God help us if he goes down. Let me rephrase that. God help is now with Bam playing, but God rescue us from hell if he is out.

Both of which got the ball a ton and we’re focal points not being wasted away. Your anger is directed at the wrong one, without him we’re not even in these games lol. A foul is a foul whether you thought he should’ve dunked it or not


Its not anger. Its expectation. You get max, we expect allstar performance. He's not playing like an allstar. Same thing with Herro, he got paid so no more excuses for him either. He's having a slow start it happens. But if we are 20 games in, and he's averaging 13 points then I'm putting him on the trading block. It's a salary cap league. You can't win a chip if your max players don't play like Max players. And he's on year 6, his performances are on himself first. We can't continue to blame scheme and everyone else. No one else on the team gets those excuses.


You’ve had an all star level player for years now.


He has made allstar once and ALL NBA 0 times. Was he one of the 20 best players last 2 seasons - NO. Was he one of the 15 best players in the playoffs last 2 seasons - No.
He plays elite defense, but he needs to be better offensively is he's going an allstar/All NBA level player consistently

If we just had a couple of 4’s and a nice athletic 5 we would be back in the mix quickly.

If you don’t see the offensive scheme did a complete 180 idk what to tell you. Why is he on pace to shoot 18+ shots a game and average 28 and then we completely go away from it?

I’m right on this, I don’t care what you all have to say about it. This team hasn’t exactly made the right decisions in recent years to back it


Your "on pace" extrapolations mean phuck all when the reality is that Bam can't create scoring for himself at an elite enough level to scale up to higher volume. That's just what it is and there's no getting around it. Bam pretty much only ever attempts high-percentage shots, scoring opportunities which often result from being spoonfed. He isn't a guy who can manufacture something from nothing unless he happens to have an extremely favorable matchup, and I'm honestly baffled as to why you ever thought he was


Tell me you didn’t watch the preseason without telling me you didn’t watch the preseason


"preseason"

Next we're gonna start talking about Bam's 3pt shooting in empty offseason gyms
