Towns was simply bad tonight. He wasn't particularly good in any phase of the game. That's not good for your chances to win on any given night.

It's how he started last year, too...

[Monster]

Teague's problem was defense.

Cool would you be willing to expand on what you saw from him on that end?

Spurs held us under 100. Can't win with that. Some good spurts. I was most surprised that Wiggins was pulled when he was super hot in the 3rd. The staggered lineups seemed to be our strongest tonight. Good team to show us how much work we have to do.

Sure it's one game. There will be very few games he won't give you something positive.

I think overall tonight was positive. Our bench showed up and kept the game close. Our starters clearly have room for improvement which at least signals it can get better than this. There were a few worrisome signs. Wiggins still missed too many FT's. Towns got handled by LA and struggled on both sides of the ball. But it's game one. We lost to a good team on the road. Unfortunately it looks like there's still some learning to be had.

Sure Monster, I saw several things. He didn't bring enough energy, he was slow to rotate, and he had trouble keeping his man in front of him. And then he didn't get us going with tempo on the transition to offense.

He does seem more casual moving it the other way. I like his timing on looking for his shots, he knows when to shoot in the game to keep balance. I agree with your assessment of his D, he does some good things but he needs to get a bit more jacked for the whole time he is out there.

Thanks Cool. I found myself being pretty impressed with how Tyus played defensively. He just seems to play bigger than in the past. In the first half he went up for a rebound and was one of the guys that tipped the ball away from LA.
