I loathe the FanDuel app but, if it goes down, I hope the Spurs can negotiate a replacement network rapidly. Maybe if FanDuel had sunk a few dollars into improving that interface, maybe more people would have kept their subscriptions.
Finally, the good Castle showed up. It's been a minute but glad to have him back. Loved the three guard lineup. The initial return on the defensive side, Fox guarding the PG, Harper guarding the SG, and Castle guarding the SF/PF/C in a three headed lineup worked better than many people would...
Do we not have a single play designed to get Champ open? Or maybe run Mr Clutch off a couple of curls to get him a short jumper in the lane? Running Wemby off a couple of screens to put him closer to the basket?
Of course not. Let's give Wemby the ball 20+ feet from the rim and not even bother...
What pains me the most is knowing how great Wemby can be close to the basket but his go-to move when we need a score during crunch time is a heavily contested, falling down, long jumper. He did it over and over.
The boys did well last night but what fun is it if you don't complain about something? My complaint is that we need to build a 25-30 point fourth quarter lead to rest our primary players since the deep bench can't maintain a lead against other teams deep benches. Last night was the same story...
At the moment he's been figured out. Opposing teams are waiting for the kick out because they know he is sloppy with them. They also know where to be and how to wait when he drives to the rim. He has to be one of the most blocked players in the league. I have a lot of faith in his potential but...
If the game and effort is looking hopeless, DJG should get some burn. Give him a couple of chances to get the microwave scorer role. What good is he doing in the G League when the offense has looked like ass since Vassell went out?
When Castle is crapping the bed with turnovers, Fox should be the primary ball handler. He's the mid range guy we need with Devin out but he doesn't have the ball in his hands enough to affect the game. He'll never approach anywhere near the value of his contract if he continues play like a role...
Put this man down in the post. That was the beast we saw early in the season and he's the one we are going to need in the playoffs. Watching him choose contested jumpers with a man in his chest feels like we're wasting the few minutes he gets.
He's been bad for long enough to be very concerned. It's just over three weeks until the trade deadline. He's a good expiring contract but a good dude. Spurs history indicates they keep him. But if he can't show signs of life soon, they they have to see what they can get. It's not like he's a...
