Spurs have one of the most unique problems I have seen a team have in awhile.

Max player guard playing like a max player carrying the team while the superstar player is hurt.

Second year guard who took the leap and was playing at an all star level before he got hurt.

2nd overall pick who is already good enough to help carry if not outright carry your bench ( going to give Keldon some credit to he playing at a 6th man level so far).

The last one is insane usually if a rookie is one of your best bench players either that dude is on his way to superstardom or your team is so ass that even somebody who has never played in the league is making a difference on your team. I knew Harper would be good I aint expect dude to come in from jump street and be just about unguardable going to the rim from day one.

I'm not quite sure what you do here aint no way you can touch fox minutes now he balling every night aint no way you can touch castle minutes he took the leap but you have to get Harper on the floor more dude is a scoring and assisting machine soon as he come into the game :pachaha:

Yeah, westbrook/harden in OKC is the only thing i can think of recently that's close to what the spurs potentially have. Harden was a bench guy for 3 or 4 years before becoming a starter in HOU

i dont think Mitch can convince Harper to be a bench guy like Manu, either.

There's a possibility where Castle may be the odd man out :hubie:


but i dont like thinking about that kinda stuff in the moment. more of a "cross that bridge" kinda thing tbh

Hard to do when your coach has to have a gun put to his head to play you.
No, he just isn’t very good. Warriors had momentum in the 3rd. He gets that ball, 2 point game, and he takes a contested midrange with 17 seconds on the clock :snoop:

He just does dumb shyt
