    Good win.

    So is Tari being punished for his behavior internally or is he really dealing with a concussion? Why did he miss the last game?

    Yeah you can't still be sliding or stepping while the offensive player is airborne and get a charge... That's blocking foul all day

    I agree on not giving up on Reed. I think at a certain point this year Holiday should start getting the minutes if we don’t see improvement though.

    We break the losing streak with a total team win. I hope Jalen can find his consistency and make this game a regular occurrence. Jabari played well tonight and Amen looked incredible in his start. We even got to see Tate piss some people off as a bonus. Sleep well gentlemen. Goodnight!!

    We should trade him. This isn't circus. If he wants to be a clown he can always go to the Wizards. #notmyfranchiseplayer

    Wasn’t a wire-to-wire win, but it sure felt like it. Even without Fred and Tari, we just out-talented and out executed them.

    We’ve been on the opposite end so many times over the dark years, where we kept things close-ish while knowing there wasn’t gonna be a chance. It’s good to be on the other side of that

    Sengun’s shooting is absolutely atrocious, there’s no way around it. 2 feet, 5 feet, 10 feet, 15 feet, 22 feet …doesn’t matter. It will be his limitation throughout his career, which is a shame because even average shooting likely would make him all NBA 2nd or 3rd team level. If it is this bad after 4 seasons, with presumably NBA level coaching, it is unlikely to ever be serviceable.

    It’s nice that Jalen got hardens fts in his absence. Good to get a win! We need tari back for the cup, dare I say he is the x-factor?

    26 Free Throws. The game can be very easy if you let it.

    The main issue he was drafted on the Rockets. The Spurs wanted Reed Sheppard.

    Reed Sheppard and Victor Wemby would've destroyed the Rockets.

    Spurs really messed up not taking Tidjane Salaun instead of keeping their pick and selecting Tidjane Salaun.

    I think Tidjane Salaun of the Hornets is the Best Player in the Draft. Great dribbling moves, inside out dribble like Hakeem use to do. Very young at 18 years old. It will take a couple of seasons. Then the League will notice even more.

    Very similar to Giannis and Scottie Barnes
