4 pages and almost no one talks about their starting point guard and guy they are building around, Dejounte Murray, is out all year and their starting center, pau gasol, has been out most of the year and is being replaced by dante fukking cunningham...

So their isn't much data to gather about this team probably this entire season, since they won't have THE GUY they are building around...

Thats like trying to determine "who the warriors are" knowing KD or Steph is not going to play the whole season...and knowing their starting center is out indefinitely...

fast forward to next year when the spurs are starting Dejounte, Lonnie, Demar, and Poeltl...until then everything else is just a waste...

I did bring it up, losing Murray on top of losing Kawhi, Parker/Ginoboli gone, and Gasol been out. But this trash take seems to think Gregg Popovich has lost touch with basketball, nevermind losing all those players:mjlol:

Soft serve Aldridge and DeFrozen should be all it takes to win, the game has passed Popovich by:mjlol:

I guess Houston last year didn't take enough threes, just like the 2016 Warriors:mjlol:

:dwillhuh:

How does this make sense to you? Murray wouldn't be a greater role, importance or impact on offense over LMA and DeRozan, yet you think it's comparable to the Warriors without KD or Steph. And really that's beside the point of this thread, regardless of Dejounte playing or not, it still wouldn't change the offensive structure of the Spurs offense; LMA and DeRozan aren't suddenly going to stop taking long 2s and replace them with 3s all because of Dejounte.
Not singling anybody out

But how many of yall have watched every spurs game this year :jbhmm:


Like now watched as in just watched the highlights... but actually watched all, or close to 48 minutes of each game :patrice:
Since this is basically singling me out - I've watched around 20 Spurs games this season, which is more than enough games to get a read on how they play, and this is more about how they play v. the rest of the league. Almost every single team's offense is centered around the 3-ball, you see it in their structure, their workings, their spacing, and the looks they generate on the back of it - the same can't be said for the Spurs (specifically their starting offense). There's not only an efficiency conflict with the Spurs offense, but there's a fundamental one where they aren't creating the spacing and scoring opportunities that other teams are (more importantly, teams with less talent).

I'm watching this game right now v. 76ers and I can see it, they're taking all these long 2s, and only attempted one 3. And it's only because LMA and DeRozan are that talented that sort of approach doesn't sink the team, cause nearly every other squad would be in near ruins right now.

Rudy Gay is the reason why their starting unit has some balance. He's shooting the 3 the best he ever has :wow:

Did the same shyt to me :gucci: Breh is a whole weirdo.
Oh look, my #1 groupie is back following me around from thread to thread.

:wow:

Their starting unit shoots 11 threes a game (lowest by a considerable margin), and they take more long 2s, I wouldn't exactly call that a balance - their net rating is ranked 24th in the league, nearly equal with the Knicks'.

Which is why I don't understand folks saying that they have a lack of talent, they've got more talent than the majority of teams, it's their approach on offense which is limiting their ceiling.
