    LMA is the closest thing to Duncan in the league .... I think he fits right in and doesn't miss a beat he doesn't change and the system doesn't change. He'll get the ball at the high post and do what he does .... or kick it out.

    That offense was tailor made for a players like Aldridge who can post , hit the mid range shot or pass out of double teams to open shooters.

    Put DMo on Tim and Dwight on Aldridge.

    Put PBev on Curry and Ariza on Klay.

    It may have been due to his injury earlier, people may hope he returns to his 2014 form.

    This, and many Clutchfans posters not having any long-term memory.

    Everything I agree with BUT Bev shutting down Curry. NOBODY can shut down Curry. Slow him down possibly but Curry is slippery, can score at will!

    First, get there healthy. Then, play Rockets basketball.

    And we might not have to worry about them.

    Ariza guarding Durant sounds MUCH better than Parsons

    The spurs are depending too much on guys who are at the end of their careers. Dunkin is in decline as much as Nowitski. Still effective but no where near what he once was. He's basically a role player now. Ginoble is done. Parker won't make it through the year without getting hurt and is in decline more than Dunkin.

    Don't get why everyone is so concerned with them. And people can talk up pops all they want. Until he wins another championship without his big three he is just another good coach who's reputation was enhanced because of great players.

    No offense but every elite team in the west has better pf's and better pg's than we do. Look at the two of the teams we faced Golden State and LAC. Both of these teams had superior play at both positions. DMO had a great season but how much playoff experience has he had? He has had zero!!! Plus, before his injury he was making a lot of boneheaded plays. I am sorry but we have to upgrade both positions. However,rwe can't improve both. Our front office needs to improve pg or the pf spot. Right now the only feasible option is to upgrade the point. But we are inferior at the four spot when compared to the other elite teams in the west. You can't tell me we aren't

    I'd take DMo over Green. I'd take a DMo/Jones/Smith rotation over a Green/Lee rotation. I'd take our rotation over Aldridge/nobody Rotation. I'd take our rotation over Griffin/Udoh. I'd take us over Randolph/no one. I'd take us over Dirk/no one. I'd take us over Ibaka/Collison. Better starter doesn't mean better position. Better starter doesn't mean they don't need help in the position.
    If you want to look to upgrade, find a backup SG and a PG. We are fine at PF.

    Duncan isn't the Count of St. Germain.
