I hope we start Dedmon for the rest of the season. Pau is a better fit with the bench unit too I think

Great win. A win like this doesn't really tell us much about the state of the Spurs (unless they lose), because the Lakers are so bad right now, but it's great to close the RRT with a blowout just the same.

I love what Dedmon brings to this squad and I hope Pop massages his minutes upward in the stretch run. LMA was solid, too.

Bertans is so much more than a shooter. His passing is really crisp and he is unselfish and finds open guys well when he gets the chance. Our bench (and multiple lineups/resting etc) is the reason why +/- and all these stupid 'advanced' stats don't sit in Kawhi's favour with all the negative talk of MVP.

Dedmon was good, he is working into the role quite well and as most of us suspected, Gasol works great off the bench.

I still wish Kawhi would go back to his super efficient and selective three point shooting. It's his biggest flaw right now imo, bailing the D out with threes out of the flow of our offense.

But yeah, good to get a win on the board.

Great way to finish off the rodeo road trip. We dominated the entire game on both ends and everyone was solid.

Really hope we stick with Dedmon as our starting center. His defense and hustle are needed in the starting five and Pau just looks so damn good coming off the bench. Hate to say I told you so Pop but I did lol.

Everyday is a good day to beat the Lakers! We just need to get a couple guys more involved and playing better (LMA, Bertans, Green...etc.) and a little less Kawhi hero ball. Keep healthy and make a push here.
