I know I'm trying to get her to lock those in now. Prices are only going to skyrocket further and we are already worst in league
Sold mine last year for game 2 but didn't regret it because the atmosphere in The Square was

Good price, as most people sell those corner primes for like 150/per. Been looking to grab tickets to see VC next week and that's been the going rate (for the few even offering lower bowl.)

The Spurs lost at home to the Knicks last season. It happens.
As for Jonas, the hand injury is clearly messing with his head and you'd hope he'd be more resilient than that. His aggression isn't where it needs to be. He has taken a step forward defensively overall, he just makes bonehead mistakes and doesn't have his head in the game all the time. That will need to improve if he wants to be a full-time, 30+minutes a game starter cuz Casey won't stand for those mental lapses.
Offensively he is still too tentative and takes a second after the catch to figure out what he wants to do. He made great progress offensively in his rookie season from beginning to end and since then it's slowed to a crawl. The running hook he always looks for has a couple of counters he needs to incorporate. He was using the baseline spin but seems to have dropped that from his game recently. An inside pivot would be a good addition as well.
In terms of his body, he's been spending his first couple of NBA summers bulking and strengthening. He needs a summer of conditioning and flexibility work. They might want to have him bulk for one more summer first though. He's definitely lost some bounce but physically I think they've got an idea of how they want his body to be at 25+years old, which is when we are really planning to be a top contender.
Breh lets not fool ourselves,his defense has not improved at all....Hes still making dumb decisions,he still doesnt box guys out,he still lets guys grab uncontested off boards,he has no presence under the basket for a 7 footer...That play that allowed Channing Frye to swoop in grab the rebound and kick for a 3 was flat out embarrasing and what got him nailed to the bench for the rest of the game....that play is not an anomoly with him,he makes too many defesnive mistakes in coverage as well....He gets caught way too often trying to cheat too far from the basket....
Its disturbing how easily unfocused he gets defensive when he doesnt make shots...very mentally fragile.
And we need to stop making excuses for the shyt,his hand has ZERO to do with his issues finishing around the basket...he knows hes outta shape and slow which is why is still uses pump fakes around the rim to finish gimmes....His offense right now looks as bad as its EVER been...and whats worse he has no explosion he had in his rookie season...
Hes got so many bad habits as well that he still carries with him....holding the ball low on the catch,the repeat pump faking instead of just grabbing and going up in one motion....
Whats crazy is the former Bargnani brigade has adopted him as there new prodigal son and swears the problem is the coach and his teammates not getting him the ball which is fukkn crazy....Right now he doesnt deserve more than 8-10 shots a game until he shows he can be efficient every night....He is nowhere even close to even a 2nd option on a bad team...
Im not optimistic about him right now....

He gets the ball enough, once he proves more he'll see it more. He's struggled the last couple games, but he's still a 22-year-old center who can get you a double double and defend the rim when he's going well. Last night was generally disastrous for him, Casey did the right thing benching him. A good bounce-back game against Chicago will go a long way.
Hes had 2 double doubles this year and he struggles to even grab 10 boards...Thats the issue he cant rebound,he loses easy balls and how many times you seen him get outworked for a ball thats sitting on his damn finger tips...He has all kinds of issues right now...Some of these games should be coming so much easier to him than they are,i hate this line but its true with him,hes fighting himself...
Its not like hes been matched up against quality bigs either,he struggles to put up 10/5 against Jared Sullinger,Brian Sims,Steven Adams..were not talking elitte DPOY candidates here...His offense just isnt there,his footwork doesnt look better and he aint using any counter moves and he goes to the same old crappy predictable stuff that doesnt work and sulks when it doesnt go down....
How many times you gonna double pumpfake 15 feet from the basket than post up and drive right and toss up a running hook...HEs so easy to defend right now...
I have more faith in JV beginning of the season right now i dont...
T Ross has all the same facets Klay Thompson has (give or take a few slightly) but really lacks the worth ethic, confidence and determination.
He could be at the same level or better than Klay. Both became starters in their second year but Klay leaps over him.
Anyone notice when Ross drives in and takes a jumper between the 3 and free throw line, his legs move weird and unnecessarily in the air?
I think he has more,he has athleticism that Klay can only dream of,hes got a quick first step and good handle,he lacks aggression...He doesnt drive to the basket and try to finish or initiate contact,he'd much rather drive and pull up for a jumper....
No reason at all he cant be Derozan offensively with a 3 point shot,thats the things thats frustrating about Ross,if he had the attitude that instinct he has all the tools to be a star player on both ends...
He plays scared tho and thats why he'll never get there...
