I am the Spurs fan oracle, I have all your answers:

Why is Marco out there? To force shots. (No joke, I think that's his purpose.)

Why is Marco forcing shots? Because he's been told to.

Why does Marco keep clapping to demand the ball? Because he had one good game and thinks he's Jeff Hornacek.

Why did it take until halftime for Demar to realize the game had started? He was trying to be more of a facilitator in the beginning, it appears.

Why aren't we attacking the basket and making cuts instead of setting high picks to just take a shot a foot inside the 3 point line?

That requires effort, this team is lazy.

Why does TNT keep talking about Doncic and not the game itself let alone the other team there? Bright young talent vs. a perennial contender (except this year), Doncic is the new shiny object.

Is Weber interesting at all? He's clueless about the Spurs. Seems to be a common theme among former athletes. Probably a result of getting pretty girls to do their homework in college, they don't do it.

Why don't Murray and White play together?

Pop doesn't want too many PG alphas on the court at the same time. That's gonna change soon.

Do the teams hire their own refs or do they call for both teams? I think every team with a superstar is given 20 refs a season.
