Seeding predictions 👇
Key thoughts after the Spurs first 3 games:
Shooting: The 3s not falling at a high rate but nearly 40 attempts per game is a POSITIVE
Castle: Only 2 FT attempts in 3 games. Big reason is how he is being defended
OREB: Crashing the glass for 11 extra possessions a game

SPURS WIN! SPURS WIN! SPURS WIN!

They took care of business after another slow start
Defense turned it on in the second half and the threes started to fall late
Fox was great and has been the best player in these opening 3 games
Biggest moment was Kornet benched in the 4th for Reed who made an instant impact
Wemby did just that with a huge block with 5 minutes to play in the half
Spurs have gone on a 23-9 run and Vic has had his fingerprints all over it
P.s Fox has been spectacular
They just look like they are going through the motions and it all starts with #1
He needs to be more active and engaged. Get going and everyone will follow but just an uninspiring effort through 1 quarter so far against a depleted Mavs squad
No Flagg or Kyrie for the Mavs
If the Spurs can't take care of business then I think it is fair to start being concerned
They should be able to get stops and force turnovers which will lead to playing more in transition where they thrived offensively last season
Let's get it!

Measured, rational takes on this website will not be tolerated.
I've not seen overreactions like this…
From both the fanbase and NBA community as a whole
This SAME team made the freaking finals 6 months ago with one of the youngest rotations ever
But hey bc they narrowly lost the first 2 of 82! games, all hell has broken loose
Breathe 🧘

Mitch assessing the 0-2 start:
"We played two of the better teams in the league. We played much better than we did game one. Both games are far from our standard and our habits and our identity. ... We have a lot of improvement to be had."
If you are concerned two games into an 82-game season where the Spurs lost in close fashion to a championship contender and a playoff-caliber team then I am afraid this sport ain’t for you
No need for definitive declarations after every game. We just made the effing finals 😅
Again, thought Harper and Castle were better after half. Would be nice to see them get going from the off so they don't find themselves in a hole like these first two games
Fox continues to look good (TOV's aside). Wemby had dominant stretches, but kudos to Amen on a great play
These are the dumb takes you come across when your team is a championship contender
Dude has no idea how the Spurs front office operates lol
Can’t even be upset with that loss
The Spurs probably won’t experience a worse officiating performance the rest of the season
Offense looked much better as the game went along and the defense was as elite as usual (can’t do more if textbook offensive fouls aren’t being called)
Wemby got fouled on the ally-oop dunk to tie and then Dylan Harper got fouled on the poster but NEITHER were called
Yet Rockets fans have the audacity to say the officiating has been bad in their favour 😂
