Blair should get no more than 10 minutes in this game. If he gets more we better have a 20 point lead or we are screwed.

They like to play big so we need more Tim/Tiago out there than Pop is probably willing to try.

Let's hope the shots fall for Bonner.

Stat stuffer on a bad team, which makes his stats more impressive imo, considering that opponents know hes the wolves #1 option. As far as hype, Loves dispelling that myth from his breakout year last year.

Nah, Aldridge has actually been to the playoffs and isn't really young anymore.

Rubio good at pick and roll offense and our pick and roll defense is too bad for a few years.

So how do you explain Michael Beasley? I hardly ever hear anything about his failures as a player in the national media, and he's black. And he was a 2nd pick, not a 5th pick. In the same exact year even.

Two differences from the last time these teams faced each other: No Manu and Rubio starting. It will be interesting who gets assigned to Love, considering he roams the 3 point arc as well as in the paint. Splitter and Kawhi would be the notable suspects to have their turn defending Love.

Maybe that's because he was making 21 million a year by age 23. That's a helluva lot more than Love just signed for. And that was 13 years ago.

mystargtr34
01-27-2012, 07:31 PM
Its hard to tell how this game will play out.. Sota' is a middle of the pack offensive team even with Love scoring 25 a game..they havent got much outside of him in terms of scoring. But the Spurs have been making these sorts of teams look like the 05 Suns so its all about defense as usual.

If the Wolves score consistently in the first 4 or 5 possessions on the game.. i would call a timeout straight away and drag Blair and RJ off the court.. it seems like every game in the last 5 the starting lineup has dug a hole only for the bench to come in and take the lead again.. then rinse and repeat in the second half.

timvp
01-27-2012, 08:04 PM
With Dallas and Memphis the next two games, the Spurs really need this one.

It won't be easy though. The Spurs don't have a big that can guard Love and they have enough long and athletic players to throw at Parker.

CJ at this point in his career is no better than Neal or Green at point. Maybe we should put Leonard at PG.

The defense is actually decent for once. Let's hope that continues.

Offensively, it'll probably come down to whether or not Parker explodes. It looks like he's been saving up his energy so far so hopefully he can.

MaNu4Tres

It's mind boggling how Splitters teammates continue to ignore him in the post.

Three times Jefferson elected to swing the ball to Leonard and Green with less than 12 on the clock, all while Splitter was calling for the ball.

Green and Parker were guilty of it as well.

Three touches in 13 minutes is inexcusable.

Yep.. i just expect it from him now tbh.

Hes like the SF version of Bonner.. if he isnt hitting and getting shots consistently.. hes worthless.. better off having Green in.

:lol No kidding. RJ literally will not drive to the basket and attempt a shot. Even if the defense forces him to drive the ball, he acts like the paint is off limits and does a jump pass to avoid it.

Splitter is top 5 in PPS and 2 pnt FG % in the entire league. Every time he touches the ball a great shot comes out of it (either for him or for a teammate).

He needs the ball a lot more.

It's comical how his teammates aren't aware of this and all of them are guilty at one time or another.
