Spurs have 2 days off before the Knicks on Sunday.

Keep Victor in his room with a few good books.

OKC plays the Nuggets next.
If Denver wins, the Spurs and Thunder will be tied in the loss column, 16 each.
That's crazy that this late in the season, they would be that close to the 1 seed.

On another note, the Lakers are only 1 spot away from the play-in.

We also signed Plumdog for the rest of the year.

Plum can replace Bismack and we cut Bismack and sign Khris to replace Sochan

Man. I know Bismack is ass but I feel like he brings a connectivity to this locker room.

Interesting that Denver is on the list. They have so many wings.

Spurs can keep him in the locker room, though. They did with Gorgui Dieng by making him Basketball Operations Representative.

I think Denver wants Khris because Cam, Aaron Gordon and Peyton Watson can't stay healthy.

Could also bounce Olynyk for Khris.

Yeah, but even with how washed he is, I think Olynyk is still better at basically everything than Biyumbo.

We could also just dump Lindy Waters. I'd keep Olynyk over Waters, too.

I like Waters as a 'break in case of emergency' 3 point shooter. As you said, Bismack would be the guy.

Theoretically, but he is at 34% on the year, I think McLovin is going to get the minutes first. He's our 14th guy and Bismack is our 15th. Makes more sense to dump Bismack and add Khris.

Wemby - Kornet - PlumDog
Julian - Khris - Olynyk
Vassell - Barnes - Bryant
Castle - Keldon - Waters
Fox - Harper - McLovin

I would love if we could get Sacramento to buyout Dougie McBuckets to replace Waters.

Unfortunately the thunder won in OT vs Denver. It looks like it got pretty sporty with Dort ejected for throwing a cheap shot on Jokic.

I hope those two teams beat the hell out of each other for a playoff series prior to playing the Spurs.

OKC, Denver, and Minnesota being on the other side of the bracket is the best thing for the Spurs.

Best case scenario:
  • 1 Spurs vs 8 Bums
  • 4 Rockets vs 5 Lakers
  • 2 OKC vs 7 Bums
  • 3 Denver vs 6 Minn
Second best case scenario:
  • 1 OKC vs 8 Bums
  • 4 Denver vs 5 Wolves
  • 2 Spurs vs 7 Bums
  • 3 Rockets vs 6 Lakers
Denver has Joker, but their defense is exploitable, especially in the paint. I think we matchup really well with OKC, but very poorly with Minnesota. Rockets and Lakers are both exploitable in the playoffs. Rockets blew it by not replacing FVV and Adams. Lakers have no defense and no chemistry. Don't really want to play Phoenix (Grayson/Dillon) or Golden State (Draymond) due to dirty plays and cheap shots when we boat race them.

It's pretty crazy how many minutes Durant plays at his age. Props to him if he can keep it up all year and through the playoffs but this rockets team doesn't have a chance if he doesn't play over 30.

Impressive and also dumb.

Since the Beautiful Game Spurs that didn't have anyone average over 30mpg, only two championship teams have had a single player average more than 34.5mpg. Durant is at almost 37mpg. The two teams that played more minutes were LeBron Cavs and Tatum Celtics. Celtics were top heavy and LeBron is a stat ***** that also is in ridiculous shape.

I think it is a big part of why DAntoni and Thibs teams flamed out in the playoffs. Their players' legs were toast.

Last year the Knicks just didnt' have anymore in the tank against Indiana. Their top 5 players all played over 35mpg. Hali led Indiana with 33.6mpg. Bridges played 600 more minutes than Hai in the regular season.

We only have two players over 30mpg with Fox leading at 31.6.
