I'd trade for Avdija for his whistle if nothing else. That said, kid is good tbh. Might not be #1 option on a contender good, but definitely a strong 2nd option. They have plenty of draft capital going forward with some nice young(ish) pieces so they could swing a trade for a star when someone inevitably becomes available.

Finally Champ started just hauling them up without hesitation. He was gun shy the previous games, and wasn’t really hunting for his shots. But tonight was different.

I would’ve put CB in when the Blazers was making their run at the 4th quarter. CB can up the physicality when some of Spurs players started being complacent. There shouldn’t be night when CB gets no minutes at all. It could stun that confidence that he already started to build

Lastly, I wish Spurs could’ve kept Cissoco. The kid is physical, can shoot the 3 and plays a lot of defense. He was Sochan was supposed to be

Honestly, the way the refs were calling the game CB would've done more harm than good tbh. It's not like the Guests did anything special; when Clingan and Cissoko were hitting their threes you just had to tip your cap. The issue was the team not running any sets for long portions of the second half on top of the refs taking the Spurs out of any rhythm. Would have been a good time for Mitch to go after the officials and pick up a T.
