It's always nice when you can go into a season and nor have to worry about making the playoffs.

Excited to see how the ball movement is with the new lineup, and a fully healthy Patty Thrills.

I'm most interested in how McCallum does with the Spurs. Hope he can figure out how to play some hard D.

Looking pretty good so far. Very little ball movement though.

Looks like the refs will continue to let Westbrook play like a linebacker against us. Straight runs through Patty and they call a block.

Defense looks incredibly sharp early on. Lots of deflections and steals, doing a great job on the boards, and we're forcing okc into difficult jumpers. Very pleased with our rotational, which I expected would be a step slow this early in the season. Kawhi causes so much havoc on that end.

Passing is a little suspect, low and off target a lot.

So nice to have basketball back.

We are settling for long jumpers too and that's not great.

Kanter's paint defense is so bad it's comical.

Ginobili makin stupid passes

We take out our starting lineup and the 5 we have in is Patty, Manu, Anderson, Diaw, and West. That team would be a 5 seed in the east.

Westbrook finally called for a foul.

Ginobili with 2 horrible turnovers already. 5 points lost for that.

Pop with legit answers for Doris Burke. He's not in mid season form either.

Ginobli looks 5 years younger

I think he feels bad for her because her voice is so grating.

After I complimented the defense of the first unit, the second unit is a complete opposite. Way too slow rotating.
Ganondorf

Kyle Anderson not terrible on offense, Manu aside from turnovers is also playing well. David West being included early and that's good to see.

Second team defense is slow but hopefully that'll change as the season goes and these guys get used to being a unit.

The fact that OKC has DJ Augustine...makes me dislike them even more. All those damn sips

The claw with a block but settles for a really long jumper.
West Texan

Kawhi is not afraid of anyone! It takes big cajones to get all up in Durant's grill on defense and harass him like that. Big time block on that pull up jumper. Most guys worry about getting blown by and sag off.

You know we have one right? And had one last year as well?

Second unit looked good offensively, minus a few Ginobili passes. Liked what I saw from Anderson a lot.

Yeah but that is okay b/c we are the Spurs!

Refs are bad, not for calls made but they are all afraid to actually make a call. It's like they aren't watching the ball and constantly asking each other who's ball it is.

Having Durant back is obviously huge, but Billy Donovan already seems to have OKCs offense flowing better than Brooks ever did.

That's not really that hard.

Aldridge is such a better rebounder than Splitter. It's making a big difference against those aggressive okc bigs.

And Kawhi with another block on Durant.

So awesome watching TD and LMA play together in the posts.

This gon' be gooooood
West Texan

Really good half. Kawhi looks dominant on both ends, defense overall is very good, depth is already showing itself, and we aren't having to rely on Parker to be super aggressive for our offense to operate.

Yeah, I was 15 minutes behind on the DVR and Kawhi came in just after I typed that lol. I do see some more offensive flow, but you're correct that they're still running a bunch of iso. Our defense is also just REALLY good so far though.
Deputy Travis Junior

Kawhi is simply amazing on defense.
