    Meh. There was no defense being played. No defensive stops at all. That's not battling. They were using each other...

    No coincidence that it's gonna be the worst team in the league next season.

    You doubt Thomas Robinson?
    Haven't you seen his highlights on his Khimki team?
    All star potential I'd say.

    So the Spurs “3” are all gone now. No Duncan, Parker or Manu. I expect Pop to retire in the next year or two as well.

    Yeah Spurs rebuilding. They'd trade Aldridge but no one will take him, he is a team killer. Pop will retire after this season. With his big three gone, and legacy set, its finally time to pack it in.

    It will depend on how things go with the Aldridge/DeRozan/Gay combo.

    It's hard to see Aldridge and DeRozan meshing offensively.

    I followed Robinson last season in Khimki and tried to watch games on the internet. He's much more active than most bigs in the Euroleague, but not a top name yet. To get there, he needs another year or two of Euroleague experience, which he'll get after the Hawks cut him at the end of preseason.

    I wonder if Kobe will make the all star team this season?

    I believe a DeRozen//LaMarcus led Spurs team will win more games than we will this season.

    I have to agree with you outside of who the leader is.
    Pop is the leader who will lead the Spurs.
    They'll miss Kyle Anderson though.

    So, you think the Spurs will win more than your Lakers? Interesting.

    I'm really not seeing that, based on their roster:

    San Antonio Spurs Roster

    18 Marco Belinelli SG 32
    42 Davis Bertans C 25
    10 Matt Costello SF 25
    44 Dante Cunningham SF 31
    10 DeMar DeRozan SG 29
    11 Bryn Forbes SG 24 6-3
    16 Pau Gasol C 38 7-0
    22 Rudy Gay SF 32 6-8
    24 Darrun Hilliard SG 25
    77 Joffrey Lauvergne C 26
    -- Chimezie Metu PF 21
    8 Patty Mills PG 30
    5 Dejounte Murray PG 21
    42 Jakob Poeltl C 22
    -- Lonnie Walker IV SG 19

    Two Blazers feature (one a temporary one, the other a sadly permanent one)



    It's kind of hilarious how Fultz's jump shot is kept shrouded in secrecy.
