Terrible night for Donovan shooting but 14 points and 20 rebounds, 13 offensive boards. Leading the NBA in offensive rebounding and third in NBA in rebounding.

Cling Kong with a double double (20 boards!) with 5 blocks, though a rough 6-17 from the field.

13 offensive rebounds. Almost like he can be really dominant if he just stayed close to the rim. 14 points without a three being made.
 
Strangest line I’ve seen in a while for a center

14 points on 6-17 (0-3 from three)
13 offensive rebounds, 20 total

Steph is SO careless with the ball. It hurts the team, Mitch needs to cede some of his on ball responsibilities to Fox. 4 turnovers in the first half pretty much all from being careless

Steph is beasting on D though.

I always mean to and then forget, but I was looking at the moneyline when they were down 13 in the 2nd Q and it was +300 something, I meant to do it and of course I didn't. They're now up 7 and really frustrating Houston.

Coach has put Steph on Sengun and Durant all night, let him body them and deny ball then put Wemby on help side when they get it. It's worked really well.
 
Dylan Harper is soooo impressive. Once he figures out his shot (like Steph) he is gonna be incredible

His strength is so impressive. KD can’t move him and Sengun, who moves everybody, has struggled to move Steph. The switch you described to Wemby guarding Thompson was a great move by Mitch, Houston scored 37 in the second half. Insane.
 
I love Steph playing PG because he can have 16 points and shoot 2 threes and still be considered to have had an outstanding game because of the way he created for others and locked up defensively.

He’s exactly the type of winning PG you’d want leading your team. I hope the Spurs move Fox for a high level wing scorer for him to feed.

Franz Wagner is right there and the Magic need a PG.

0 reason to trade Fox, like very pointless. They are the 2nd seed in the West and Fox is a big reason why. They need wing shooting, Wagner is not a good shooter. Trade Sochan and picks/salaries for a shooter. Fox is a winning player.

They started out as one of the top teams in the West even when Fox was out for the beginning of the year.

I agree it’d probably help to get a high level scorer that can shoot. The only ones available that come to mind are Lavine and Murphy. But neither spot would need Fox.

Fox is great. But there’s no reason to give up a size advantage defensively and play 2 PGs at once when you can bring in someone who can score even better than Fox while being able to be better defensively and give the Spurs more size. And be a natural fit with Castle in general.

Brandon Miller and Shaedon Sharpe would also be ideal 2s that fit the Spurs timeline. But don’t see where the need for Fox would be on those rosters either and Miller especially might be untouchable.

They aren’t at a size disadvantage lol. Steph has guarded 1-5 this year. Fox is 6’4 and strong. Fox is perfect next to Steph because he takes some responsibility off of him and can pass, shoot and drive.

The obvious thing to do is to trade the dead weight that Sochan is, package Olynyk and a pick or something for a wing shooter/scorer and have Barnes come off the bench. They are a great team, trading an All-Star level player in his prime would be so silly.

Spurs are going to have a dynasty with these guys. Any talk of them not fitting together or Fox doesn't fit the timeline is ridiculous, their timeline is right now. Fox just turned 28 and plays both guard positions. Castle is a point but he's one of the most positionally versatile players in the league. Their guards create so many problems for teams and they're anchored by a 7'5 freak.
