Lockback posted:So where is the smart money on annoying playoff posters this year? My first thought was Cavs fans, but we're not far removed from the last Cavs contending team so I feel like it won't be the same thing. Every additional Spurs poster that isn't me drops the discourse. But really I think it's going to end up being golden state and the Clippers. Spurs are a dark horse.

Anthony Davis is so good. I just watched the last game on ballstreams. He's like the mega evolution of Kevin Durant.

That would mean the Spurs would be fully rested for tomorrow.

Jrue is the second best player on the team. If they move anyone important, it will most likely be Anderson. They would move him to get rid of Gordon's contract, a 3 and D forward, or a late lottery pick.

MOVIE MAJICK posted:They should be building for win now No, they should build for compete now while keeping enough flexibility to make a win now move in the near future. Kind of like Houston, but already having your superstar. I don't think they have executed this plan as well as they should have. Speaking of superstars, Davis needs to get out of his slump. He hasn't been as good as normal the last several games.

Get rid of Jrue and use the Eric Gordon expiring contract to get one more good wing guy like Demarre Carroll (oooh I like that) and sign a veteran bench scorer. Paul Millsap would also be great on that squad.

The only things Tyreke does better than Jrue is drive and rebound. Holiday is a better shooter, finisher, passer, defender, and less prone to dumb decision making. They are also on very similar contracts, iirc.

Every offseason on the Kings he would claim that he fixed his jumper, but it always turned out that he just trained with his buddies who had never seen a jumper before, and the cellphone videos of him practicing would come out, with the jumper busted in new ways.

To be fair to Evans, his spot up jumper is respectable now. His chance of converting a wide open jump shot off the dribble is less than him making a layup driving on Gobert. I didn't get to watch any of this latest game, but

Dubs lost but Curry is now only 5 3PMs from the record with 4 games to go, so that's awesome.

They knew this his rookie year too, he never seemed to ever attack the rim the same since his rookie year The jumper thing frustrating because he would do all the talk about improving and spend the summer working on it but never actually took the steps he needed to. He spent one year talking a bunch about working with Shot Doc but ultimately never did because their schedules never lined up or some BS like that. I don't really know what Tyreke's schedule is like from April through September but I'm pretty sure it's not that busy
