Yikes.

Indiana Pacers C James Wiseman has suffered a torn left Achilles tendon, league sources tell ESPN. The team and Wiseman are working collaboratively to determine treatment options.

[Who]

Spurs lack ball-handlers and passers.

Offense is clunky.

[Who]

Klay looks interesting on the Mavs. Active. More movement in the halfcourt. More cutting. Than Tim Hardaway Jr provided. Aggressive hitting the boards and giving them extra possessions. Unusual for Klay. Seems to be making more of an effort there since he is spending more time off-ball with Luka & Kyrie so ball dominant.

[Who]

Wemby has only played 12min in the first half. They are not back to capping his minutes at 25, are they?

Spurs are miserable without him. The only half-decent player on the floor right now is Harrison Barnes. Rest are bench dudes / journeymen.

[Who]

Luka takes way too many step back 3s.

Stop settling. Bad basketball.

[Who]

Ahh, no Devin Vassell. That is why their ball-handling is so poor. They are playing one guard three forwards and Wemby / Z Collins at the big. Champagnie, H Barnes, Sochan the three forwards. CP3 or Tre Jones the guard. Some playmaking but not a lot.

CP3 looks every bit of his 40 years of age.

 :laugh:Luka looks like he actually got himself into shape this offseason.

[Who]

Wemby is barely going to play 30min tonight.

He is the only reason to watch San Antonio. Nobody wants to watch any of these other bums. He is only on-court 60% of the game. It is ridiculous. He is not some 38yr old injury prone player who needs load management. Play him!!!

[Who]

Not liking the CP3 + Wemby two man game.

They look good when Wemby is diving to the rim off of the PnR or cutting when CP3 drives. Good lob action.

The PnP action is horrible though. CP3 is treating Wemby like he is David West. Popping for long jumpers. Giving Wemby the ball in less advantageous positions. Playing through CP3's playmaking rather than Wemby's own creation. Wemby is a better creator than a 40yr old CP3. These actions are just giving Wemby lower value shot attempts and taking the ball out of his hands instead of playing through him. Bad offense.

[Who]

H Barnes looks chunky. Not fat but muscular. He doesn't look athletic or quick anymore. Doesn't move well.

Looks old.

[Goldstar88]

Ant better step his game up. He did a lot of talking in the offseason.

[Who]

Not impressed with Minnesota. They were better with Towns than with Randle.

Not sure they are title contender material anymore.

[Who]

Ant has taken 20 FGAs. 14 of them have been from 3.

His best talent is attacking the paint. Not getting there much today.


Conley looks old. Doing very little today or in the first game against LAL. He might be past his sell-by point as a starting PG in the league.

And they have no replacement at this moment. They don't even trust Rob Dillingham to be a backup PG. He is a 3rd string bench warmer. Without Conley, they have no lead ball-handler.

Ant is not a lead ball-handler. He is a secondary ball-handler / playmaker. He is good at that. It is putting too much on his plate to ask him be the lead ball-handler on top of it all.

[Goldstar88]

Nesmith still play out of control. He?s reckless on defense.

Lakers with the comeback tonight against the Suns. Their Big 3 of LeBron/Davis/Reaves combined for 82 points. JJ is actually coaching??
