Game Thread: Spurs vs Suns -- Mon. (11/23) - 7:30PM CST (3:30AM Riga Time)

Seems like Pop is treating this game like a preseason game with his weird ass lineups.

[Kawhitstorm]

The defense has just been unreal all year. I'd like to see us post Tim more when chandler is off the floor. Need to run some mid-range plays for Kawhi too. Posting tucker isn't the answer.

Addition by subtraction, no more Cancerneli, Bonner or Gary Gunz playing matador defense

[DarrinS]

I guess I should skip the first half.

[sasaint]

Anyone with inside knowledge of KA not playing?

No inside scoop. It just seems like Pop wants to see what Simmons can do playing with the top players when the minutes really count.

Kawhi is a beast tbh 8 reb 4 stl 5/7 2 assists in a half

True, not talked about often here shaving off those 22MPG of his traffic cone act on that end has tremendously helped our D..

[Brazil]

Just need to clean tov

To Pop half of the regular season games are scrimmages for the postseason. At the end of the day, as long as they win 70% of their games it's best to use the regular season to experiments w/ lineups & such. Teams don't get trophies in the regular season.

This tbh

I'm a little disappointed we didn't see Kyle, but we have so many new pieces we can't do everything.

I am happy we saw Simms though and I love KYle. Only because Simmons has not gotten many chances at all to play and Kyle had a very good game last time and I think Pop wanted to give a chance to other guys. We will be so much better if we could rely on both when we need them. Rasual 36 and Manu 38. We need our young horses to get playtime too. I was actually a lot more surprised that Pop played Kawhi so much because last game he played 40 mins. That is too much in the long run, specially because this small ball is fast paced and it really wears you out for that long. Thus I am happy to see Simms.

With all the small ball most teams are playing in some form or another,we are likely to need all our perimeter players through the season.

1 turnover was a flop. 1 was an uncalled blocking foul. 1 was bad pass to boban. tbh

[Kawhitstorm]

tbf, dude averaged 26 last 6 games, he's hot

He did that by shooting from OUTSIDE not driving like Bledsoe.

[100%duncan]

These misses

This is Spurs' 14th game this season. They've given up fewer than 50 points in the first half 12 times. Fewer than 40 points six times.

[beirmeistr]

wow, did parker actually take a charge ?

[sasaint]

Good. He's been looking more comfortable the past couple games. I figured he'd thrive playing alongside someone who can play the 5.

He had one very nice sequence when Boris was working his man on the low post. West just stayed high and gave Bobo time to back his man into an uncluttered lane before moving down low where he tipped out the miss to a teammate. The ball worked its way back to West at the elbow where he nailed the shot. Nothing special, just good feel for the game.
