the current Spurs offense just reminds me too much of the 2002 Sacramento Kings, except that Wemby is a worse passer than prime Webber, never mind Divac. I didn't watch NBA basketball at all from May 2017 up until about a month or two ago, so someone will have to fill me in. It's a black hole...

February 2005 called. "Hey, Malik, thank you for busting your ass and being a core contributor to two championship rings, but you're not tall enough to guard Shaq if we have to play the Heat in the Finals, so you're headed to the shitty 15 win Knicks for a random rim protector named Muhammad who...

Well then four down it like the good old days and cut out the princeton offense crap. Either wemby gets a deuce, gets fouled, or someone else gets an open three.

Why not just use Wemby like he's Wilt or Duncan or Shaq.

He needs to cut out the crap of bringing the ball down where anyone on the other team shorter than him (i.e. anyone) has an easy path to reaching in for the steal. Sean Elliott has harped on it, he even criticized Duncan some times for it. Other than to dribble, he should be holding the ball...

He's an above average defender for today's era but he's not in the category of someone like a Trick-Or-Treat Tony Allen, AC Green or Bruce Bowen who could stay on the court for his defense alone. Charles Oakley, Reggie Evans, Trent Hassell, I could name more. I don't even know if that kind of a...

Yeah, the NBA would never schedule a home game for the Knicks on December 31st. They aren't that stupid.

Ya don't want to punt away games against conference opponents where tiebreakers could be an issue. It's a young team, this isn't the 2010-2016 era Big Three or 1998-2003 era David Robinson.

Yeah drop coverage and packing the paint doesn't work in today's three-happy NBA when all these young bucks are basically kids who grew up wanting to be like Steph Curry and not like Michael Jordan.

Completely agreed. 2016 and 2006 were close, I guess. In 2006, the Spurs had an answer for everyone except Dirk. People forget just how dominant the late-spring 2012 Spurs were. It was a 66 game season and the Spurs started out a very pedestrian 12-9 just like the 2002-03 title season. Then...

what rock were you living under in the 2000s re: the Lakers? Yeah, except Harrison Barnes is such a misfit in that regard. He's better than Sochan, but that's about it. That's definitely a position to upgrade by trade deadline.

Yeah, I like him better than Scott Brooks or that other guy (Donovan?) they had after him.

I agree with the former, 2012 was the Durant in OKC era's best team, Presti really screwed the pooch by trading Harden rather than either cutting Perkins or paying the luxury tax when you had a young perennial contender with three home grown (drafted) superstars, [which made them at least more...

What do you think Wembanyama would fetch in a trade, given that the Spurs have been winning without him/ or with him and very limited minutes from him? Maybe a starting center AND a starting power forward and some draft picks? Sick of watching the Harrison Barnes mediocrity, he was always the...

Silver isn't OK with is the league's best future asset not being on the Lakers, Knicks, or Bulls, though. I don't really agree.... we played small pretty heavily featuring a heavy dose of Stephen Jackson at PF in 2012 and still couldn't defend anyone. 2012 game 6 was lowkey as bad as 2002...
