Tim Duncan A- Defense aside, Duncan was nearly flawless.
Manu Ginobili A Shooting and energy kept the Spurs afloat early.
Tony Parker B+ Missed layups prevented offensive explosion.
Richard Jefferson B+ Remained aggressive despite foul trouble.
DeJuan Blair C- Too many mistakes on defense. Rushed offensively.
George Hill B- Horrible start. Improved steadily thereafter.
James Anderson B+ Hesitant but hit enough shots to help.
Antonio McDyess B+ Good rebounding. Impressive hustle.
Matt Bonner B- Needed to play tougher in the paint.
Bobby Simmons C Shots way off. Defense not much better.

Once Anderson learns to play defense he'll be really good.
that is 3/4 of what is required by pop
1//8 shooting
1/8 rebounding

This may be one of the best games the Pacers play all year. The Spurs had some obvious problems, but the Pacers also shot lights out. I've always said that there are nights when the other team is in the zone shooting, and virtually impossible to beat. Well tonight was one of those nights, but the Spurs still found a way to get a solid win.
When the Spurs keep their turnovers to 14 or less, they win an extremely high percentage of the time. Tonight they committed 14 turnovers - and they got 15 steals! I don't remember ever seeing them get more steals than turnovers in a game. And in the early going they had a lot of deflections that just bounced the wrong way, or there would have been more.
Anderson was about as good as we could have hoped for, in his first game.
George Hill managed to remind all the worriers why he's here, in the second half.
I think McDyess had a settling influence on everyone, especially on the defensive end. And the man still has a great shooting touch.
I can honestly say that I can shoot the 3 better than Bobby Simmons... at least tonight.

Manu Ginobili A Allstar performance.
Tony Parker A MVP performance.
Richard Jefferson A Great comeback
DeJuan Blair C I blame Pop, dude is not a big man...wtf?
George Hill A Dude is tough...started off slow but woke up and dominated.
James Anderson A Nailed his first shot...impressive.
Antonio McDyess A 2nd half helped interior defense and displayed some toughness.
Matt Bonner F- tried to dribble penetrate and that automatically disqualifies him from getting anything other than an F. Dude just plain sucks, can't rebound, he is lighter than air on defense, I really don't understand why he gets minutes...I can shoot the three pointer also, probably better than him and I am here at home posting on Spurstalk and he is getting 4 million...unfucking real.
Bobby Simmons A...as usual you guys don't watch the game..he missed his shots but he came in and got physical with Indiana and he was part of the squad that got the lead...Great job....definitely isn't a wuss...

Ehh...More like...
A+ Tim Duncan. He's played an almost perfect game on offense, just solid.
A Manu Ginobili. Shot the ball lights out, but made a couple of minor mistakes, led to RJ's fifth foul.
B+ Richard Jefferson. Questionable foul trouble and free throw shooting is the only thing that kept him from getting an A. He shot the ball well, but he also did everything else right.
B Tony Parker. Played well, made some shots, but also missed a couple of jumpers, which is fine, but the missed layups, not so much.
B Antonio McDyess. Pretty good performance, not much is asked, but he went out and knocked down a couple of jumpers plus played Roy Hibbert a couple of times better than anyone else out there. Solid defensive effort. Still underrated at that end.
B- George Hill. Started off shit, and then became an improved version of the George Hill that we all have come to know and love but haven't seen this year until tonight. :toast
B- James Anderson. Great first game for a rookie, that's all that needs to be said. But a couple of his shots were way off, that's okay though, two threes dropped and he also proved able to get to the basketball. Did he play like a rookie? Yes, but he played like a really good rookie.
C+ DeJuan Blair. A little disappointed in him tonight, but part of me isn't. You've got to understand that he's 6'7 and can't be asked to guard guys like Roy Hibbert, that will be Splitter's job. Doesn't make Blair a bad defender. Not to mention Hibbert (as well as McRoberts) made some crazy shots and did no better against Blair than he did against Duncan. I needed him to get more rebounds though, but thought some of those misses under the basket that resulted in the other team having a fast break opp. should've been fouls.
C+ Matt Bonner. Didn't do much right, but didn't do much wrong either. Not enough time or play on the ball to rate him any higher, but he came in and nailed a long two from the corner, I thought it was a three myself. Hopefully he'll get healthy soon. That sprained looked ughhh...
D Bobby Simmons. Sucked, but not as bad as people want to say. His lateral movement was a little slow, but existent, he air balled a three and missed his other attempt, but he played decent on the defensive end at the PF position. Enough to keep him from getting an F.

Not this shit again. This became the normal reaction to most every Spurs loss last year, and I'm gonna point this out everytime I see it this year. Consider it my way of RTB.
The opposing team doesn't get the NBA Jam "ON FIRE" label everytime they play well, the Spurs just need to play better defense.

Good take except for the (bolded) part about you shooting the 3 better than Bonner, even with the sprained ankle.
True, Bobby Simmons was part of group that got the lead. He played the 4 when the Spurs went small and he played decent defense. The main reason that group did well, though, was the three point shooting by Hill, Gino and RJ...plus some sloppy play by the Pacers.

I think people are selling Parker's performance a bit short. He missed some layups, but he TAKES a lot more layup-type shots than most people.
The man shot 50%, lead the team in +/-, and had 9 assists. He also played respectable defense, and had 3 steals. That's about all I could ask of him.

IA with most of the grades. Frankly I was surprised how good Tony stats looked, watching the game I thought he was shaky on offense and Collison got his way a lot of times against him.
OTOH, Manu looked incredible and carried the spurs early on but that didn't totally show up on the scoreboard.

I was thinking the same thing. These guys are pros. Leave them open and they are going to hit shots. NBA'ers are ridiculously good. The Defense sucked.
We don't want to be the free wheeling Suns who look good until the playoffs get here. The D MUST IMPROVE and I'm sure Pop realizes that. I'm thinking he wasn't real pleased about giving up so many points.

Yep, I agree too. It's amazing how professional basketball players will manage to hit uncontested shots. Either that or it's just a coincidence that the Spurs keep running into all these teams that "just shoot lights out" starting over just the last couple of years. There were nearly 20 years before that where it happened once in a blue moon.

Well, Tony actually shot 50% (9-18), while Manu was at 43% (6-14).
Frankly, I don't think Manu, Tim, OR Tony should be taking shots simply because they are "shooting well," especially when they all are scoring efficiently like last night. Take shots in the flow of the offense. I think all three did that.

First game, defense is poor (1st half at least) but I do like where they're headed with the offense. Everything wasn't a drag to score which takes so much energy away. Everyone looked very serious, I don't remember ever seeing these guys this serious so early in the season. The urgency is real and I finally believe it.

No, not this shit again. I'll stand by what I said - this may be one of the best games the Pacers play all year. Not just because they shot a high percentage. They played well for where they are at as a team, and their energy/effort level was superb. And the Spurs still found a way to get a solid win.
Don't put words in other people's mouth and then flame them over it. For the record, I posted this exchange on the game thread last night:
Both teams are hitting a insane amount of jump-shots. You can blame the defense if you want though.
When you give NBA players uncontested shots, they make a lot of them.
Edit: BTW - Bobby Simmons sure as shit didn't hit his uncontested shot last night. Or the rim. Or anything else. NBA players don't make ALL their jump shots, even when the defense is very poor. The Spurs had a lot of problems the last couple of seasons when they were getting any shot they wanted, and couldn't make a damned thing. Like it or not, the Pacers were shooting exceptionally well last night. And a team that is shooting well can be damn near impossible to beat. The Spurs did a good job.
simmons is just awful. somewhere this year we have to get a trade for a 3 done.

4TO is fine when you have 3ast and 9 dimes!
Asside the stats, what I liked from Tony is that he played like a TRUE PG!!
He didn't forced too much, was active all night on D (there's a reason why Pop played him so many minutes asside of Hill 3 faults...).
Actually, the best news is that if in a "non perfect" game, he brings such stasts, imagine when he'll find his "rythm"... :wow

Tony playing like a real point guard isn't something he's been known for in the past. If he can continue this trend he can become one of the elite point guards in the league (rather than being "on the fringe") and silence alot of criticism.
I've said it before and I'll say it again, if TP & MG can combine for 15 assists on the night the spurs will win that game 99% of the time.

that would be our back up 2 guard. will he be a swing sometimes? probably, when we go small, but we need depth at the 3 when a team throws out some bigger lineup and simmons is not the answer.

There will be no trade for a "3" because there are no decent ones out there.

My problem with Parker last night was when he bricked those two jumpshots after hitting one. It's like he didn't shoot them in the flow of the game, he just shot them because he hit one before it.
I don't recall Parker forcing up any shots at all. I do recall one instance where Parker and Hill gave up shots that they should have taken.
Ginobili went ballsy on a couple of 3 point shots, but he has the green light to shoot those anyway. He had a 3 and a shot near the rim go in and out as well, so I'm not at all worried about "6-14"
Generally speaking, we're very fortunate that our big three just happen to be rather unselfish players on the whole. That said, I'd be hard pressed to find anybody who doesn't agree that our big three should have the authority to force shots up once in a while ("heat checks," shooting more to facilitate gaining a "good rhythm", etc.). It's like Sean Elliott was saying last night when Ginobili shot a 3 early in the shot clock (and made it) - "There are only a handful of guys in the history of the spurs organization who have the green light to shoot that shot..Ginobili is one of them (as are Parker/Duncan now, obviously.)"
Once you've established your core of go-to guys, it's beneficial to give them quite a bit more leeway than role players when it comes to taking shots. And still despite this fact, I don't think any of our big three abused that authority last night.
If anybody was forcing shots last night, it was Blair. Blair has been pretty good about taking shots when they come to him within the flow of the offense thereby scoring with high efficiency (FG% > 50). Last night, he appeared to put the rebounding on hold in lieu of forcing his own own offense more.

Compared to last year, Jefferson and Hill have improved, Blair it shall be seen but I'd assume he has or will improve. Splitter a big that Pop seems to like and will play minutes, along with Anderson who proved last night he's an immediate upgrade over Mason and Bogans.
Your point is completely understood however.

lol, no problem. I knew there was more to it than that. :)
Yeah, there are possibly some potential improvements in places, but there's probably less overall depth, which worries me. That last year's team never really took advantage of that depth is what caused them to struggle so badly in my opinion. I seem to recall the Spurs had a ton of assists in that first game, and moved and shared the ball really well. They also played decent defense. If this year's team can integrate Splitter and Anderson, get Blair settled down and can get RJ contributing like he did last night, I think they're going to be pretty good.

Yeah as I said somewhere else, Anderson showed last night he's miles ahead of Mason and Bogans so immediately your sg depth with a healthy manu is better.
To me the depth depends on if Temple can get back to playing how he did at the end of last year. The depth is less per se, but I think the overall quality of the team is much improved. Especially integrating a big like Splitter and he can play well, having another long big man even if he doesn't block alot of shots IMO he will deter alot which they have sorely missed.

wondering if there's any way the spurs can get Dahntay Jones, who wasn't even suited up last night. saw him on the bench. supposedly the Pacers are looking to trade one of their wings and he might be the guy (along with Rush).
i don't know how much he's making, but he's someone that can defend (or used to be able to anyway). that's still what this team lacks. Anderson will get better hopefully on d.

Not smart trading assets for a player who won't break the rotation.
i was thinking more a long the lines of trading Bonner for him. i don't think a guy like Dahntay Jones would play over those guys consistently, but i think he could play useful minutes in the playoffs ala Tony Allen. lots of great guards in the NBA and the Spurs don't have anyone who could get under their skin.
An improved Jefferson Anderson Hill seemingly added.
Who's Jefferson Anderson Hill?

Even if you traded Bonner for him, Jones wouldn't see the floor with Hill, Manu, Jefferson and Anderson all ahead of him.
