It's so crazy that the spurs are just 2 games behind the warriors. The warriors have stephen curry in his prime and one of the most talented offensive teams we've ever seen and the spurs big 3 is out of their prime and near retirement and they're still just 2 games behind lmao ****. Pop is the GOAT

Kawhi Leonard's impact for that Spurs team can't be anymore understated. He's posting up 20ppg on elite efficiency, like .600TS%. Sure that pales in comparison to Curry's 30ppg on like .680TS%, but on the other end of the court Leonard might be having the best defensive season of all time for a perimeter player. The Spurs are on their way to having the best defensive season ever, and Leonard is the one anchoring them to it. As far as this season goes he's my second best player for the year, Westbrook a very very very close third.

Honestly only a handful of games for the next month seem hard. This team can legit get to 45 wins before 20 losses.

I'll admit watching the Wolves last year that I didn't see much in Zach LaVine other than freak athleticism. But I think he does have the tools to be a really good player in this league. He can be a crafty slasher with a good handle and if he keeps working on that midrange game he could try and model his game after DeMar DeRozan.

Wiggins is big time floater and I don't say that as a compliment. He's worst then t ross playing pocket pool in the corner .

Golden state is a team that the spur's rep will not have any bearing. The spurs are too old to run with the warriors bottom line, sooo.... there you go. Don't believe the hype.

Wiggins is so meh... especially defensively. Disappointing. He's lucky they got KAT to overshadow his poor performace

Everyone talks about the new NBA but the Spurs are a team that proves that you can still get it done with traditional big men. They will find a way, always do.

Are any channels in Canada playing the biggest game of the season so far (GSW/SAS)?!

My instant guess is no but please tell me I'm wrong.

minny came back from 15 down to 5 now against cavs in like 3 minute span.

IMO the Wolves should officially just drop the Timber and call themselves the Wolves. I mean that's what they are doing now. It rolls better.

LeBron is going to fire someone if they lose tonight
