They stopped talking about Solo so I'm guessing he had a setback.
We need Solo to have zero rust defensively. Like, he needs to be better than ever. Can't wait. We are playing really well.
And, again, has Jrue proven he's a max player?
The Spurs led by as many as 15 points tonight against the Pelicans.

Over the last 10 seasons, San Antonio was 211-0 when leading at home by 15 or more in the second half.
Every other team had multiple such losses in that span.
This forum needs rep. I enjoy this forum for many reasons.
I say we never lose again. That sounds fun.
Nothing come easy in this season. Props for the Spurs for that close game. They were without Leonard, Gasol, Aldridge, and Poppovic. Really BIG win for us! Everyone was playing really good. Now is time to bring Hill back.
Man are you serious? Cousins was playing in a different stratosphere in every category than Jokic. Cousins was clearly the best center in the game. We forgot the Pelicans were on a streak and had just beat the hottest team in basketball when he went down?
Let's not get silly now.
Nice break till our big stretch. Need to start that stretch 7-0 till we face Houston. Since they got GSW on their heels. I wouldn't be surprised if that is a 100% L with Pelicans trying to keep AD fresh for the whole stretch.
Gonna be tough, but I'm gonna love all this Pelicans basketball games... if I don't end up in a hospital from all these close games.
I think you need to lower your expectations a bit. Asking this team that just won 7 games in a row by the slimmest of margins in all 7 games to win 7 MORE games in a row is pure fantasy. These next seven games include games @Clippers and @Spurs again as well as tough home games against the Wizards and Jazz. I'd be ecstatic if we go 5-2 over the next seven.
50 should be the goal
It's not so much the games themselves, more the scheduling. I think we can pencil in probable losses to Golden State, one of the Rockets games, and one of the remaining two Spurs games. So that's three that are pretty reasonable to just chalk off immediately.
For example: I think we can beat the Celtics; we've already proved that in fact. Can we beat them as the third game in four nights, on the second night of a back to back against the Rockets? I don't know.
Obviously we can beat Mavs, Lakers, and Pacers. Can we beat all three of them on consecutive nights? I don't know. Then we play the Rockets again as the fourth game in five nights.
I have faith in our guys and I know we're playing strong basketball. If these last games were over 45 days I'd say 50 wins is a real probability, but with only 39 days to play them all in, I think it's probable we take some losses we wouldn't usually expect.
Edit: TL;Dr, we definitely could finish with 50 but I think the scheduling will screw us out of it by a few games.
