Outscored by 9 points in the 4th quarter. We have the worst 3rd unit in the league.

No HB win by 40 lmao

I hope we don't re-sign him after this season tbh.

But let's see his playoffs performance first

i think its a near lock. Dont mind it if he understands his role though. He in no way should be starting anymore.

I don’t want to even give him the chance to mess it up. Very limited bench minutes are our best hope.

CB needs all his minutes

The Spurs would sell so many early 2000s style jerseys with the current player names and numbers. Missed opportunity to wear those tonight and release them in the stores.

Victor with the self awareness about dribbling into traffic

also gets his pockets picked 1-2 times a game from back. No team mates to warn him. His court sense is average.

That throwback stuff was great tbh. Brought back some good memories.

very professionally done by all. All of them did their homework. Knew the players and their strengths etc. Hannah Storm is great

We really out here suffering without Carter Bryant in the starting lineup @Ice009

Fair enough, clown on me if you want, BUT A lot of people here the whole season have been talking about the big hole the Spurs have is at PF and they didn't address it at the trade deadline (they probably thought it was too early to try for a big move like that). So you don't think that is still a problem? You are all happy to just go with the flow in the regular season and have teams exploit that in the playoffs? I'm looking at the playoffs and the Championship. They still have a hole at PF and Julian being inserted there is a stopgap since Harrison stunk it up and the Spurs went on a slide, Mitch didn't really have any other options on the roster. I'd love Julian to start, but at SF, not PF. I'd probably prefer to trade Devin if possible (only because of his salary), plus whatever else is needed to try and get a starting PF. With the way Fox has been playing, I'd even consider trading him instead of Devin if it nets a starting PF (Spurs likely won't do this so Devin might be the only guy they can try to package to get a starting PF). As I said, the Spurs didn't want to make that kind of move this trade deadline, though, so not really any options left (there weren't any good buyout candidates) to rectify it before the playoffs.

Victor's already carrying a huge load defensively and he's usually outmatched physically most nights getting pushed around and fouled (someone explain to me why you're allow to do this to big men, but you can't do this to guards? Why can you push bigs around, but not guards?), so why make it harder for him by playing a smaller guy at PF? Give him some help on the interior. He's fatigued and I hope he can get out of it.

And also, who cares how the Spurs start games (they're not very good in the third quarters or starting the third quarters usually, so you only answered 50% of the equation saying they start well) when they're letting teams go on huge runs in the second quarter and third quarters usually giving up those leads most of the season (they did better in the winning streak with those things stat wise, but those stats don't mean much as they mostly came against injured or average/bad teams). The reason I wanted to start CB is to help provide more resistance on the defensive end so teams don't go on those huge runs. And by starting him, I think minimizes the damage if he doesn't play well offensively or picks up early fouls (I personally don't think he will as I don't think he'll be in as much of a rush if he's starting and let the game come to him more), they can just sub Julian or HB in earlier if he's not playing well offensively. If he does play well, though, that raises the Spurs' ceiling in the playoffs IMO because he'll bring defense, more physicality and if his shooting holds up, good shooting too.

Also, in this game, I believe Carter helped turn the game around when he subbed in. And also, how does Dylan only have 10 minutes or whatever it was in the half with how well he was playing. I don't care if Dylan and Carter are rookies. Give them both more minutes.

Btw, I loved angry Luke
