    I hope Smith gets some PT so that Dmo can play PF instead of Center. Any ways Smith is a better center than Dmo is.

    Maybe next time McHale should try start Machado instead of Lin and see it if works better. Machado is definitely a better PG than Lin is.

    Excited to see Machado make some plays with his passing, which he has already shown so far.

    We have to keep Machado and Smith, D-Mo needs to play PF period! This where his experience helps him as opposed to Jones who forced things and looked really small. The back up PF spot should be fought out between the two.

    IDK about Smith, I like him only cause of his size but he's never really shown anything great. There was a lot of hope in the kid cause his hands are apparently massive and that'd make him a shot blocking presence, but his post D isn't even at PPat levels.

    The starters were thrown off by the insertion of Lamb and Jones and the great defense of the Spurs. This is the regular team of the Spurs; we are a brand new team. This is the time to see the kinks

    Same as before, Machado showing some really nice passing, and looks outmatched on the defensive end.

    YES... D-mo should be posting up PF's. He could be a great mismatch at this position, while at Center, he could be a defensive liability.

    Greg Smith has impressed me this whole preseason so far, on both ends of the court.

    Yeah, and if he has one bad game, let's switch him for someone else. Then, the next bad game, let's do that again....

    Man, Dmo was getting a lot of hate. But he's so energetic out there.
