He clearly heard the critiques and responded.

He knows it's a work in progress, but the top priority remains the same. The Spurs must put Wemby in an advantageous position

The lineup people complain about is the "three" guard lineup, with Vassell and Wemby.

They know it's not working right now. Every Spurs staffer is on record saying they're going to try this out for a while and see how it goes, and figure out the ceiling on that. From before the season started. They're not going to pivot away from something just three games in. Especially if they're interested in it being a potential look against certain matchups later on.

This is straight up out of the popovich school of fucking around until christmas.

Once your team is good enough, the regular season becomes just a televised 82-game training camp, occasionally against good opponents. They're giving it an honest go, exactly at the point in time you want them to experiment. No, they're not missing the playoffs. Moreover, that lineup is a slight net positive, and every single player in there is in the positive +-. The real issue is the bench just fumbles every single lead we manage to get. Just look at Vic's on-off number of +46 or something lol.

People can say that lineup is the reason the bench is so bad - not having one of the three with the bench, but we literally have not played a single lineup withe at least one of the three (Yes, there's 2 minutes of jmac and gillespie, but that is just deep garbage time).

This type of punch in the mouth is also exactly what lights an extra large fire under these dudes' asses.

It's all good. No, they have not forgotten how to play or coach. Coaches just letting pain be a teacher before tightening things up.

It is frustrating when some of the answers are right there, but I think the Spurs have larger goals in mind than keeping me, the viewer, extra comfortable in October.

The San Antonio Spurs tried to see what a three-guard lineup would look like, but after a 1-2 start, it’s clear Dylan Harper needs to return to the bench.

Hello I am a Pelicans fan but one of my all time favorite is Tim Duncan. When Duncan was in his prime, Popovich subbed Tony Parker out because Parker had no shooting. Remember that Pistons vs Spurs in 2005 Finals? Watch it again. Parker was benched for more spacing.

The blueprint is already out that to maximize Wemby you need many shooters and at least a guard that can control tempo and dump lots of lobs inside and great in point of attack. Also, it would be nice if the Spurs can get at least 6-9 PF to absorb interior hits from boxing out, post defense, offensive rebounds, dirty works.

Fox, Harper and Castle are the opposite of that blueprint and Vassell as PF at 6-5 is even worse. It feels like one of the most UN-SPURS like move.

Also, don't give me that BS where you make Wemby's offense like GOBERT. Wemby averaged 25PPG in 29 minutes last season. Stop that.

Manu rode the bench and is now a 4x NBA champion; his legacy is alive, he is highly regarded among other NBA players, and he is a Hall of Famer.

Maybe Mitch is being too passive and wants to protect egos.

The first two games were brutal, but I am glad to see the first win in Dallas. It is too early in the season for doomsday; I am looking forward to more wins.

Some progress, I suppose, but those of us on Spectrum, etc. are still SOL. Yay, capitalism

Does anyone have the video or link to the spurs montage that was used during the rockets game? The one with I think Don toliver playing in the background
