  1. Crazy to think mere months ago we were so desperate for a bit of penetration a few of us were on our knees for Bones Hyland and now we have Josh, Hardy and Kai…

  2. mowbox_mowmoney

    We found the perfect fit with Kyrie. I really think we’re just a rim protector away from being title contenders

  3. Nateno_14

    God we would be unstoppable if we had a defensive center that’s a rim blocker like imagine if we had JJJ

  4. This offense is a joy to watch. Give Kai the max, get a defensive-minded center and we got a squad

  5. More general question: bar Luka and Kyrie (assuming he signs on) who do you consider an essential keep for next season?

  6. pancakewithfries

    our interior d is severely lacking. it felt like the spurs’ play throughout the second quarter was just to attack our bigs. we definitely need maxi back but our healthy bigs need to step up as well.

  7. mcarterIV

    If we can somehow keep Kyrie and get a decent, not even all star, just decent center we are one of the best teams

  8. I still believe wood can play defense. Felt like when he was starting he would play excellent defense to close games. He just needs to give the effort.

  9. InformationSavings36

    Dwight traffic cone powell should not be getting 30mpg

  10. amazin_raisin99

    Dwight Powell is 6’10” and averages 0.4 blocks per game

    I don’t even know how that’s possible

  11. jennyisafriend

    Kai is very active on defense, he doesn’t just stand around.

  12. Josh is having a rough night getting switched into all the spurs bigs

  13. Beneficial-Hour-9865

    CAN WE HAVE A GOOD PLAY DESIGN, PLEASE

  14. AshyCheekss

    I can’t wait for Green to get better at finishing at the rim. He can definitely get to the rim with his speed.

  15. DoncicsRoadTo200kg

    I am so tired of watching Powell play basketball lmao

  16. AshyCheekss

    It literally looks like Kyrie can literally score at will at times.

  17. Beneficial-Hour-9865

    Look at that dunk by Dwight Powell, WOW

  18. LordsDontWorry

    Mavs doing exactly what they need to do against a very bad team

  19. GotKarprar

    Powell may not be able to do much but when luka gets it to him right there he can almost always finish

  20. I have a great feeling about this stretch heading into the playoffs

  21. InformationSavings36

    Dwight is getting hunted every possession like hes bbq chicken, wonder why

  22. Time to pull away now, let’s put them away

  23. DoncicsRoadTo200kg

    Feels like the Spurs are about to can it and call it a night

  24. I’m not as low on Dwight as most but Powell should thank his lucky stars that the fact Luka is an unbelievable passer has convinced some casuals they have a “connection”. Put Luka with ANY big who can dunk a basketball and he’s making the same plays.

  25. AdVisual3406

    Nice to see us doubling the other team for a change.

  26. MindArr0w77

    Idc he’s Slovenian, the fact his other favorite euro player is not Dirk is a sin!

  27. aznclone

    Powell’s gravity on pick and rolls are insane. Two TOs by Spurs after they didn’t guard the roll-man and allowed an alley-oop and easy dunk for Powell.

  28. superslurm27

    Josh lays up when he should dunk instead.

  29. dantheflyingman

    That would have been an epic pass if Green could have scored it.
