    He's saying you dont have to work as hard. Keep in mind this is from a guy who led his team to a couple of chips. He's saying if he had the same team now he would run the league.

    I was pleased to see Reed playing down the stretch in a tight game on the road despite an abysmal shooting start. It won't always go well, but he needs some trial by fire minutes before we get to the post season.

    Okogie continues to endear himself to me. Reminds me a bit of Mario Elie.

    I see the same thing. I realize that a KD contested jumper is still an efficient shot, maybe even more efficient than whatever shot his open teammate might get -- but it's not strictly about efficiency. At any level of basketball, regardless of the distribution of individual talent, it's detrimental to chemistry and morale to ignore open teammates. Gotta keep the ball moving.

    This point about the shot selection is the perfect post for this thread because even the briefest look into the stats and the numbers show this to be objectively false

    I'm risking an extra-forum topic here, but the Spurs are a slightly better version of what the Rocks were last season. Pretty scary thought...

    The Spurs are already in mid season form but the season is another 4-5 months long...anything can happen.

    59 games have not been played yet. 2 1/2 months played.

    Any date yet on DFS coming active? Or a general idea? Don't think you can trade him per NBA dictate so what's the hold-up?

    Mario Elie was more clutch than Okogie...the only reason Okogie is still starting is because Ime doesn't fully trust Reed's defense.

    Yeah nah it's not. Having Amen and Reed stand in the corners while Alpie initiates the offence at the logo aint it. Will be found out in the playoffs just like Giannis.

    I see a team that lacks fine tuning. It looks like a pick up game of 5 players playing. We NEVER earn anything from the system just working, flow, or being. Every basic thing is taxed on talent.

    Hopefully Okogie doesn’t start when Tari comes back. Poor rebounder. Can’t take defenders off the dribble. This team lacks a player that can get to the rim in the starting lineup. Eason is the best man for the job at the 3 spot.
