    The reason why I think you feel this team has an identity is because there isn't the ominous black cloud hanging over the team, demanding respect, demanding his touches, and whining about who gets to be the face of the franchise.

    When should we tell them about his literal heart problem?

    Let them rage about his weight for a bit. That will never get old.

    Am I the only one who's shocked LaMarcus showed up to training camp looking like that? With everything that went on over the summer and getting this huge contract from the Spurs I would have thought he'd show up ready to impress. Knowing the successful, businesslike way the Spurs are reportedly run (and the reputation Pop has for getting after his players) it is the last thing I expected to see. He really does look physically terrible and completely lost in their system. I think he will turn it around but he looks like a different player!

    My theory is his weight gain correlates with the McDonald's all day breakfast starting.

    What's their WS/48? That is the metric I like to look at the best.

    Aldridge's number is higher than I thought it would be based on all the criticism he's been getting. It's not a 'Max Salary' type number, but a decent WS number.

    Wes & Batum are slightly lower than what I would have guessed. I'm really surprised that Lopez's is that low.

    Only Ray McCallum, David West and Danny Green have worse WS numbers on the Spurs.
