Game Thread Spurs (23-8) vs Cavs (17-16) (Mon 12/29/25) [7:00 PM CDT]

With someone like wemby on the floor it would make some sense to have a variation of the diamond or box and 1 type of defence but with the 1 being the player switched out or the one closest to the ball, where the other four players will then rearrange to reform the diamond or box zone.

Can work in short spurts especially when the opposition is on fire from three.

For Champ you can see it from a mile away to be fair. It’s not necessarily a bad take IMO

Maybe but having such a defeatist attitude about his abilities when we haven't even seen him perform yet in a playoff series is silly. Should we have considered Danny Green a playoff choker because he didn't show up against OKC in 2012 when we needed him? Just saying to let these guys actually show us what they are capable of first before labeling them as "regular season players."

Do you think Barnes and champ will show up come playoff time? Vassell? We just need some tweaks but would love to bring in another shooter or two

We will wait and see. Again I'm just so sick of the defeatist attitude by veteran posters no less on here. Yeah, we post shit in the heat of the moment. But some people really just let their emotions get in the way of rational thinking. We haven't seen Vassell or Champ being playoff tested yet. Why do we need to expect them to fail?

Danny Green is a top tier role player in his prime, one that can win you a series. i don’t necessarily disagree with you but I dont have high hopes for Champ in the playoffs. I just dont think he has the tools.

Vassell and Barnes on the other hand, Im sure as hell expecting them to show up.
