Spurs 125-122 on OT. Demar took over in the fourth. Mills made two buzzer beaters that were clutch. Keldon and Murray played good. I continue to be impress with Murray so far and Keldon is fun to watch.

Spurs will play T-Wolves again tomorrow.

White likely out 4-6 weeks.

I haven't been watching much, but just from checking the box scores this year, I really like seeing what Keldon is contributing. Might be time to start shopping one of his Jerseys.

Hope everything is okay.

No KAT tonight either.

These second games in back to backs are always so ugly. Both teams look awful.

In the last minute of the game patty had an airball from 3 then a baseline 3 go off the side of the back board the next possession.

Really appreciate the things he did in the past but the more I see his role expanded to shoot so many 3's inconsistently combined with his lack of defense it really makes me think we need to move on from him.

This was his worst night of the season. He has been lights out this year.

Agree, Mills has been lights out so far this season. Just had a bad game. Spurs couldn't make a basket in the fourth especially in the last 3 minutes when they had so many chances.

Sweep LA teams, then lose to Minn. Sounds about right, Spurs.

Definitely missed Demar in the 4th quarter. When Patty and Murray are your best playmakers you are in trouble. Neither are anywhere near as reliable at Damar and probably White. Need those two guys to be truly at full strength.

Yea we still haven't had our team at full strength this year (1 LA game maybe?). Spurs just seemed to be out of gas yesterday. Even a 3-2 record on the road trip exceeds my expectations. Although, I'm not sure if home/away really matters this year.

Spurs go 4-1 on the road trip. I'll take it.

6 straight games with 10 or fewer turnovers and tonight they only had 4.

I like what I am seeing from all of the young guys.

Lonnie. He is being more aggressive and finishing at the rim better. Two straight games with 20+ points and he is improving on defense. Who was it that said he was going to be a bust?

Keldon. Always takes it hard to the basket and hustles on every possession on both sides of the court. Grabs tough rebounds and plays tough D.

Dejounte. Has his 3 pt % above 30% and is handling the ball much better. Only 1 turnover tonight in 31 minutes.

Vassell. Already making an impact on the defensive end and contributing on the offensive end.

I would really like to see them sweep the Rockets.

Y'all should hear Harden ***** out.

I'll be interested to see who tanks their value more between him and Kawhi when it's all said and done.

At least Harden hasn't made it known that he will only play for one of two teams.

But Harden's a terrible teammate, disappears in the playoffs, and is generally disliked.


Siakam and filler is probably the best they will get at this point. No one is going to trade a star+5 picks for his fat ass.

Harden is doing a great job of sabotaging the team who loved him and gave him everything.

Me. I didn't say a bust per se. But I did say that if he didn't develop this year I wouldn't see him in the nba that much longer. Primarily due to his lack of confidence and getting in his own head. I'm glad he's been showing good stuff this season and is proving me wrong so far.

Why from the Raptors standpoint would they trade Siakam? He's at least a borderline all star who's young and in theory should get better. I don't think Harden would move the needle much for them in terms of being legit contenders, probably the 3-5 seed in the East. That would be a steal for Houston if they pulled that off.

It's unfortunate that a franchise can do literally everything for a player year after year and he still wants out with several years left on his contract. At least Lebron and KD left in free agency instead of holding the teams hostage like Kawhi, AD, and now Harden are doing. Hope Silver finds a solution for this eventually.

No I was actually referring to MookieBlaylock. He never gave Lonnie a chance.

What I specifically like about the last 2 games from Lonnie is that he has shown not only that he wants to drive but that he also wants to finish. As you said, I hope that this will give him some confidence that he can do it in every game. I really think he has the chance to be the most elite scorer of all the young guys if he can just put it all together.

We didn't get a superstar, but we got 8 picks and Oladipo. Pretty great salvage, Harden's antics considered

More than I thought they would get. Dipo isn't quite the same player he was a few years ago, but that's a decent haul depending on the protections and stuff.

Interesting...they got alot of picks but spread out over 7 years. That could be a slow rebuild.

Compare that to the Kawhi trade - Kawhi and Danny Green for Demar, Poetl, and the draft choice that turned into Keldon Johnson.

All things considered I suppose you would still want Kawhi, but when you consider what the Spurs were really trading was a one year Kawhi rental and a declining Danny Green, the return wasn't so bad. Poetl is a rotation player for the next few seasons and Keldon looks to be a starter; Demar has played well all in all, and it's possible the Spurs flip him for younger assets before the trade deadline.

I feel like Harden was way more toxic overall than Kawhi to a team and at least Kawhi got his team a championship...that said, was super disappointed with Kawhi's lack of leadership and overall attitude at the end of his time with the Spurs, it was pretty disgusting

If the Nets implode or have injury issues, those picks become super valuable super quick.

On the pick swaps, are the Rockets assured of getting the better of the two picks?

Yeah, I know. He is still young so I hope that he will eventually make something. They need to send him to the G-League bubble and let him get more playing time and then spend the rest of the time in the weight room.

Yep, they hold the option.
