Game Blog: Spurs vs. Clippers - Mar. 09

[timtonymanu]

Why can't our guys ever secure rebounds? Christ.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

RJ is a human turd


Jefferson is a joke


RJ's highlight is grabbing a rebound so far.

Every team needs role players! :lmao

[bklynspursfan]

1/2 for RJ here

[bklynspursfan]

Every team needs role players! :lmao

Add hitting 2 FT's to that list. Something no other Spur has done tonight

[Bonner4MVPzz]

1/2 for RJ here

He said fuck you

[bklynspursfan]

Dam RJ took a hit lol

[bklynspursfan]

He said fuck you

I'll take it. Just seemed to be a trend tonight

[Spurs Brazil]

Green 3333333333333333333333

[ace3g]

Green 3!!!! Spurs lead

[bklynspursfan]

Thank you Green

[ElNono]

things aren't looking too good for CoM

[loveforthegame]

I don't believe it.

[loveforthegame]

Shame on me for doubting they could come back after that horrible 1st half.

[bklynspursfan]

Dam you Tim. Seriously

[024]

got to love manu's energy.

[ElNono]

free throws smh

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Spurs take the lead, and first-half cliff-jumpers proven wrong yet again... :rolleyes

[bklynspursfan]

12 points for Clips this qtr

[bklynspursfan]

RJ showing signs of life here.

[ace3g]

nice decision by Green there!!!

[timtonymanu]

Good resilience so far. Finally getting production from Neal, Green, and Jefferson is coming to life now.

[Bonner4MVPzz]

ZOMG RJ has 4 FTs!!!!!

[bklynspursfan]

Cavs about to beat OKC at home! NICE

[roycrikside]

Spurs defense finally figuring out how to play Clips. Taking ball out of Paul's hands and making other people make plays. Also, Clips starting to miss some shots.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

None of us would have a problem with RJ if he was paid 2-3mil - it's his 10mil salary that is the mockery, and the FO is to blame for that (one of their few recent bad decisions).

[timvp]

Man, Vinny is such a bad coach. He let's his team circle the drain without calling any set plays or doing much of anything.

The Spurs need to keep the intensity high. It looks like the Clippers might be running out of energy but can't let up now.

[bklynspursfan]

Although come playoff time if we are matched up with the Wolves I'm going to be furiuos

[timtonymanu]

None of us would have a problem with RJ if he was paid 2-3mil - it's his 10mil salary that is the mockery, and the FO is to blame for that (one of their few recent bad decisions).

I still don't understand what was going through the minds of the front office in the summer of 2010. RJ and Bonner's long term, overpaid contracts? At least getting Splitter and Neal helped in some way.

[Splits]

Splitter is useless

[bklynspursfan]

Splitter is a non factor tonight

[timtonymanu]

Tiago smh

[ElNono]

:lmao Bonner

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK Bonner

[timtonymanu]

Wow really?

[loveforthegame]

What's up with Splitter? He's looked terrible in recent games.

[timtonymanu]

Timmy can't sit for 2 minutes with the other bigs fucking up the game.

[bbarry]

wtf bonner

why do players always hold down the other guy's shoulders/arms whenever they are trying to wrap someone up? isn't it better to just take away the guy's wrists/hands instead?

[bklynspursfan]

What's up with Splitter? He's looked terrible in recent games.

No clue. Before his injury seemed his confidence was sky high

[024]

someone else has to guard paul

[loveforthegame]

Smh

[timtonymanu]

Fuck! Bobby Simmons? Really. CROFL.

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago and one!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Spurs.need.to.fucking double.team.Chris.paul

[timtonymanu]

Goddamn. Paul taking over. What can you do?

[loveforthegame]

Glad Bonner showed up tonight.

[bklynspursfan]

We're done tonight. Can't get over the hump.

[Budkin]

Paul refusing to lose... good thing there is another quarter.

[Spurs Brazil]

Leonard 3333333333333333

[ace3g]

Kawhi with the shooters bounce

[Budkin]

We're done tonight. Can't get over the hump.

Same shit that happened against Denver.

[gilmor]

We're done tonight. Can't get over the hump.

Reason is simple. Can't win without Tony.

[ElNono]

we make our free throws, we're up 6

[bklynspursfan]

Same shit that happened against Denver.

Exactly. And it was Lawson who killed us with the P&R and Faried with the boards. If energy doesn't change in the fourth it will get ugly.

[bklynspursfan]

The bright note, it's still not out of reach and Timmy has been sitting

[Spurs Brazil]

I hope Paul gets tired in the 4th and TD and Manu have the energy to finish

[024]

another high scoring, no defense game.

[roycrikside]

Spurs are gonna have to throw a big run at them for three minutes while Paul and Griffin sit.

[ElNono]

not bad though... cut their lead in half and we still can't guard cp3

[timtonymanu]

Damn they still managed to have another 30 point quarter. Jesus, the defense.

[bklynspursfan]

OK so with 3 mins and change left we had only given up 12 points. How the hell does that turn into a 30 point quarter for them??? Is that when Timmy went out?

[Budkin]

The Clips are slowing down... if the Spurs can just up their defense they've got a good chance.

[timvp]

Leonard watching everyone drive around him. Neal gives everyone a five foot cushion. Tonight Ginobili is sagging but not offering help or getting back to shooters.

R.I.P. Defense.

[DMC]

Manu is so much better than anyone else on the floor for the Spurs that it's laughable. The Spurs sub RJ for Bonner, and then Bonner for Blair. What a fucking goat rope.

[Brazil]

I have clippers announcers .... they are just awful... dear god...

Manu is having a solid game... we will need vintage manu in the fourth

[bklynspursfan]

The Clips are slowing down... if the Spurs can just up their defense they've got a good chance.

They put up 30! lol

[ElNono]

ugh, this lineup

[bklynspursfan]

Pop really starts the 4th with no Manu and Tim SMFH

[ace3g]

Bonner please once in your life hit a 3 when the Spurs are down...

[bklynspursfan]

Bonner you bastard

[Spurs Brazil]

Tiago block!!!!!!!!!!!

[timtonymanu]

My God Bonner. Hit something.

[loveforthegame]

Come on Bonner.

[ace3g]

again I'm never worried when Splitter is on the perimeter facing a guard

[BRs.Ganso]

Neal on CP3? put Splitter on him! :lol:lol:lol

[ace3g]

at least Bonner shot that time instead of trying to find Timmy and handing the ball off.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Great work by Splitter on CP two possessions in a row. :tu

[ace3g]

Kawhi with the putback!!!

[bklynspursfan]

Mo Williams 24 points LMAO

[Spurs Brazil]

Yes Leonard!!

[Spurs Brazil]

damn choker

[ElNono]

:pctoss

[bklynspursfan]

Bonner is a waste sometimes

[timtonymanu]

smh Bonner

[Libri]

Come on Bonner :/

[bklynspursfan]

8 sec violation btw on neal lol

[loveforthegame]

Damn. Just saw that the Cavs beat OKC tonight.

[Warlord23]

Guess we'll need to wait till the Spurs play the Cavs or the Bobcats for Bonner to make a 3 late in the game

[ElNono]

floor spacing!

[bklynspursfan]

Bonner misses TWO open 3's. AT HOME. Meanwhile Bobby Simmons hit a 3. Yea.

[timvp]

CP3 is going to come in and get to 40 or 45. Going to have to get up enough to overcome that.

[Brazil]

Leonard is the thing I am the most excited about for the spurs since a long time

[timtonymanu]

Was about to get on Neal for carelessly watching out for 8 seconds. Good thing he realized it.

[ElNono]

It's obvious that Parker remote-controls Bonner's 3s...

[ElNono]

CP3 is going to come in and get to 40 or 45. Going to have to get up enough to overcome that.

Not with this lineup

[maverick1948]

1st open shot for Bonner anyone notice Knicks and Clips are covering him?

[ElNono]

1st open shot for Bonner anyone notice Knicks and Clips are covering him?

uh? He had 3 in the last 3 mins

[Brazil]

why manu didn't come back yet?

[ElNono]

somebody fire Chip

[bklynspursfan]

WTF!!!!!!! Bail OUT CALL

[Warlord23]

10 missed FTs in a tie game :(

[ElNono]

Where's Duncan?

[bklynspursfan]

Instead of being up 1 with the ball, they get a bail out call and we turn it over

[Capt Bringdown]

Why anyone who calls themselves a Spurs fan would defend Bonner I'll never know.

[ElNono]

Matt better start hitting coz he's closing this with Tim

[Spurs Brazil]

Why TD isn't in?

[Libri]

Leonard's big feet :(

[ElNono]

smh

[Ryan Fitzpatrick]

holy hell yall niggas cant play d

[Warlord23]

The way to defend Bonner is to stay close to him the first 3 quarters and not give him any looks. Then in the 4th pack the paint, leave him wide open and dare him to beat you.

[timtonymanu]

CROFL Bonner

[ace3g]

Splitter doing a good job keeping his hands up on D, but again Bonner can't hit a needed 3, and then Mo Williams hit a 3...

[Spurs Brazil]

sit that fucking choker

FUCK YOU BONNER

[bklynspursfan]

WHY IS BONNER IN STILL???????? OMG what a waste

[ElNono]

now he's passing shots :pctoss

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Matt Bonner.is.such a.piece.of.shit

[timtonymanu]

Bonner you fucking faggot. Giving away this game.

[Libri]

Bonner :pctoss

[loveforthegame]

Thanks a lot Bonner.

[ElNono]

Manu time!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!

[ace3g]

Manu with another needed 3 to erase a missed 3 from Bonner...

[bklynspursfan]

Thank you Manu. Bonner is a waste of space tonight. God get him out 6 mins left Tim should be in there

[timtonymanu]

Stop giving the ball to Matt and give it to a real clutch player.

There's the real Matt Bonner again. Missed hating on him.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD must be in the lineup after the timeout. And please NO MORE BONNER

[ElNono]

http://www.dailyraider.com/tv/thecloser/logo.jpg

[Brazil]

Manu needs to take that shit over

[bklynspursfan]

Bonner is providing us nothing. And Pop still plays him. Now he'll take out Tiago for TIm

[roycrikside]

Bonner thinks it's May.

[ElNono]

Now he'll take out Tiago for TIm

[Brazil]

Time to bump the manu wont scrore again 20 pts in a game

[Capt Bringdown]

Bonner is providing us nothing. And Pop still plays him.

In other words, Pop and Bonner are in playoff mode tonight.

[Spurs Brazil]

TD still on the bench. Pop completely lost it

[bklynspursfan]

Small ball???

[ace3g]

Manu again!

[Spurs Brazil]

Manu tres!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ElNono]

things aren't looking too good for CoM

[Brazil]

Time to bump the manu wont scrore again 20 pts in a game

here we go

[Spurs Brazil]

damn Green

[Libri]

Crap, Clips can't miss.

[loveforthegame]

You can't contain him. Ginobli coming up big right now.

[timtonymanu]

I hate Green's weak ass floater

[ElNono]

smh tiago

[bbarry]

wow. have the spurs are asleep on d. they could've got to that manu swipe away

[ElNono]

bring in timmay!

[bklynspursfan]

Idiots. STupid retards. Green with a wild take

[loveforthegame]

They can't miss a 3 tonight. Damn Clippers.

[ace3g]

damn Splitter you have to make that, and there is Mo again...

[Spurs Brazil]

FUCK YOU Pop

STUPID small ball and TD on the bench

[Brazil]

Tiago you soft f*ggot dunk that shit !!!

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Fuck the spurs

[timtonymanu]

Fuck you Mo Williams!

[ElNono]

Mo Williams looking like Lebron

[Chomag]

spurs don't know how to do pressure defence anymore.

[loveforthegame]

Thank goodness we've got Duncan on the bench. Awesome. :tu

[bklynspursfan]

Stupid ass plays. Green tries a layup from the FT line. Splitter misses a layup

[timvp]

Let's just ignore the hottest guy on the court.

Good plan.

[roycrikside]

They're letting Williams shoot from the same spots over and over.

[ElNono]

Waited too long to bring TD, IMO

[timtonymanu]

And Goddamnit I wanna punch a baby every time guys on our team go up soft.

It never results in a basket.

[Banzai]

Mo Williams shooting his load over the spurs.

[Brazil]

why Tim is still on the freaking bench... seems pop wants to loose that one

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Left hand, Splitter. Ugh.

Mo cannot miss.

[suitedkings]

its sad that nobody on the Spurs knows how to dunk.

[WeNeedLength]

7-9 from 3 for Mo.. not going to win any games by letting someone shoot like that.

[Duncan2177]

Why is Tim on the bench? :bang

[Brazil]

season high for Mo

[loveforthegame]

Thought they were actually coming back to win but same old mistakes.

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Mo Williams shooting his load over the spurs.

And the spurs are just takin it....

[Stringer_Bell]

This game comes down to leaving lame-duck Bonner in the game too long, not bringing TD back in until it's too late, and Mo Williams making everything he shoots. Shit.

[daslicer]

7-9 from 3 for Mo.. not going to win any games by letting someone shoot like that.


It has nothing to do with the Spurs. This guy is hitting shots even when guys are up in his face. He's a streaky POS much like Jason Terry. It sucks the spurs have to play in one of those games where he's hot.

[Crookshanks]

This is so frustrating to watch. Spurs get a small lead and a little momentum, and then WHAM! Clippers come right back and hit a couple of 3's. It seems they can't miss tonight. And why did Pop keep Timmy on the bench for so long?

Mo Williams hits 7 3's - his career high... why does that seem to happen to the Spurs quite regularly?

[ace3g]

wow RJ actually drove right down the middle of the lane for the finish

[Bonner4MVPzz]

lol rj

[Capt Bringdown]

spurs don't know how to do pressure defence anymore.

And we come to learn that Bowen was even more important to the Spurs championship years than we previously thought.

[Spurs Brazil]

Green is the worst finisher in the league

[timtonymanu]

Stop doing that weak floater, Green. Fuck.

[bklynspursfan]

Green has been awful

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Fuck you pop.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Fuck you refs Duncan got clobbered there a minute ago no call?

[ElNono]

things aren't looking too good for CoM

[Bonner4MVPzz]

game

[timtonymanu]

Soft ass team. Throwing away all the road wins for shitty home losses.

[Stringer_Bell]

TP being out is no excuse for this loss. Spurs had it and Pop fucked up.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Man, this defense is pathetic. 113 points allowed with the game not even over is very sloppy.

[bklynspursfan]

Game over. What a joke

[Libri]

RJ you suck but we already know that.

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Rj :lmao

[Brazil]

game over

tim coming with 4 mn to go in the fourth great plan pop

[loveforthegame]

Dumb turnovers.

[Chomag]

I dont even have anything to say about this weak shit spurs are doing out there,

[Crookshanks]

This is definitely not the same old Clippers team. They're actually the better team in LA right now! LOL

[ElNono]

what's with the free throws? damn tim

[mystargtr34]

:lol @ that foul call for Tim.

Seems like he either gets gift calls that arent fouls.. or gets hammered for no call.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Wont get past the first round. And Danny green.has.no.business.being.on.the.playoff roster

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

We lost this game on D and TOs leading to easy fast break buckets. Oh well.

[Bonner4MVPzz]

I know this isnt a playoff game or anything but it reminds of that 06' dallas game, simply because the last 5 minutes we cant make shit after coming back.

[loveforthegame]

3-11 fts for Duncan tonight. Nice.

[Chomag]

Ok guys when you outside shts are hardly even touching the rim maybe it's time to stop shooting those 3's?

[timtonymanu]

2-3 at home so far. What a pathetic outing.

[Bonner4MVPzz]

Ok guys when you outside shts are hardly even touching the rim maybe it's time to stop shooting those 3's?

Pop would bench everyone. but hey thatd be good.

[Capt Bringdown]

Painful to see Duncan ride out his career with teammates such as RJ and Bonner.

[Spurs Brazil]

Sad to say but this is last year all over

The defense is a joke.

Pop had the guys to try something different. Starting Tiago and Kawhi would help, instead he goes with the same weak defense of last season.

In the playoffs we're in big trouble with the soft and dumb defense we play

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Soft ass team. Throwing away all the road wins for shitty home losses.

Over-reaction much? Clips are a good team and we are without a true PG.

[loveforthegame]

Turnovers, dumb fouls, poor defense, missed fts, and lazy play cost the game tonight.

[Bill_Brasky]

Our guys had better wake up and start playing some D if they wanna make any noise in the playoffs. I know Paul and Williams shot out of their minds but tonight was just pathetic.

[Brazil]

2-3 at home so far. What a pathetic outing.

beginning of the year, spurs kings at home, suck away then rrt then 2-3 :lol

[timtonymanu]

CROFL typical soft ass team. Lets other teams clown them and they bend over and take it like pussies.

No winners on the team outside of Manu and Tim tonight.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Pathetic effort by the Spurs. Is this what the team has come to? After an amazing 8-1 road trip, we've dumped 3 home games. This is unacceptable and I don't know what to say about the Spurs right now....

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

You can't double Paul on the perimeter! Didn't we learn this last game in LA???

[Bonner4MVPzz]

CROFL typical soft ass team. Lets other teams clown them and they bend over and take it like pussies.

No winners on the team outside of Manu and Tim tonight.

But Bonner is one of the teams best according to the fans :(:(

[Spurs Brazil]

Pop did a terrible job today

[roycrikside]

Spurs going nowhere without another big. They have two legit ones.

[Capt Bringdown]

Wont get past the first round. And Danny green.has.no.business.being.on.the.playoff roster

+ Blair, Bonner and RJ

Hard to win playoff a series with these turds.

[Brazil]

Over-reaction much? Clips are a good team and we are without a true PG.

no excuse tbh we had 8-1 without manu

[Spurs Brazil]

And Bonner choking open 3 after open 3 also didn't help

[DMC]

As good as the Clippers shot the ball, they were still close at the end of the game. Fucking Mo Williams was en fuego.

[Mal]

Nice try to win a game losing 120 pts

[Duncan2177]

Can we please trade Bonner or Blair.

[timtonymanu]

Over-reaction much? Clips are a good team and we are without a true PG.

They're playing with the same effort they played against Denver. Yeah, the chances of winning tonight probably weren't that great. But leaving the same shooters have been hitting it all night open is pathetic.

[Chomag]

It looks like the Spurs might be allready running out of gas for this season... Not a good sign but hopefull they can find a second wind for the playoffs.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

The cliff-jumping in here is pathetic. All the woe-is-me posts are bullshit.

We got beaten by a good team. Learn from it. Tighten up the D. Stop turning it over. Find a rhythm again. Get on with life.

[Crazymaddopeyo]

Dude, Tony Parker wasn't playing. You guys are overreacting pretty bad.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

no excuse tbh we had 8-1 without manu

So? We're playing the best PG the league has seen since MJ, and Parker often gives him fits. This would've been a different game had TP played.

[Brazil]

The cliff-jumping in here is pathetic. All the woe-is-me posts are bullshit.

We got beaten by a good team. Learn from it. Tighten up the D. Stop turning it over. Find a rhythm again. Get on with life.

nobody is cliff-jumping clipps are a very good team but you have to be concerned by our D... come on 120 pts !

[DMC]

I've said since the start of the season that the Spurs are not true contenders for the title, not even the WC title. People scoff at it because most of yall are fucking homers tbh. Regardless, when the team shows it's underbelly again and it's weakness is glaring, all of the cliff jumping starts.

They are what they are, which is much better as a team than they appear to be individually. Cannot say the same for the Clippers or just about any other team in the league actually, maybe Dallas.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

They're playing with the same effort they played against Denver. Yeah, the chances of winning tonight probably weren't that great. But leaving the same shooters have been hitting it all night open is pathetic.

Yes, the D has not been good. But that's no reason to cliff-jump and pretend the season is over because we lost at home to a good team without our all-star PG (comment aimed at all cliff-jumpers, not just you).

[Spurs Brazil]

Parker not playing is not a excuse for the 1000000 defense mistakes

LA got open shots all over the court

[Chomag]

Not having TP is not the reason why the Clipps scored 120 points.

[timtonymanu]

The cliff-jumping in here is pathetic. All the woe-is-me posts are bullshit.

We got beaten by a good team. Learn from it. Tighten up the D. Stop turning it over. Find a rhythm again. Get on with life.

You can say we're missing some of our key players during this stretch. But the D has significantly gotten worse since the RRT. It is really reminding me of last season. Excuse me for being a little paranoid. We've seen this story before.

[ElNono]

Time to tank the season, tbh fwiw imo

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

nobody is cliff-jumping clipps are a very good team but you have to be concerned by our D... come on 120 pts !

Um, read the thread - plenty of people are cliff-jumping like they do every time we lose.

Yes, the D was awful, agreed. But the Clips also played very well and hit everything they put up.

I think you take the loss, learn from it and move on.

[DMC]

Parker not playing is not a excuse for the 1000000 defense mistakes

LA got open shots all over the court
If we won the game, you might not even notice the defensive mistakes. It's not like we weren't making them during the RRT run.

[Brazil]

So? We're playing the best PG the league has seen since MJ, and Parker often gives him fits. This would've been a different game had TP played.

and manu is god, we won tough games w/o him.

clipps played w/o Martin and billups is out for the season.

we didn't loose because of TP not playing we lost because we let the clipps loading 120 pts at 53% FG

[Spurs Brazil]

nobody is cliff-jumping clipps are a very good team but you have to be concerned by our D... come on 120 pts !

Agree. The D has been bad the whole season. There's no sign of a improvement. More time for Tiago and Kawhi would help but Pop keep trusting in guys that failed every season in the playoffs (Blair, Bonner and Jefferson)

[roycrikside]

LJ, Pop gonna throw the soft card out tonight?

[DMC]

Time to tank the season, tbh fwiw imo
Too late, too many teams are way ahead of you in the loss column.

[timtonymanu]

Yes, the D has not been good. But that's no reason to cliff-jump and pretend the season is over because we lost at home to a good team without our all-star PG (comment aimed at all cliff-jumpers, not just you).

For the record, I never said the season was over. I still think we'll somehow address our weaknesses at the trade deadline. Hopefully this stretch of bad games will convince our front office to make a move although I don't see what move can put them over the top.

I just don't like how this team seems to be going backwards defensively again.

[baseline bum]

Time to tank the season, tbh fwiw imo

No good now, since Gilchrist has played himself into the top 3-5 picks tbh.

[DMC]

and manu is god, we won tough games w/o him.

clipps played w/o Martin and billups is out for the season.

we didn't loose because of TP not playing we lost because we let the clipps loading 120 pts at 53% FG
What are you going to do? Mo was hitting contested 3s. You want them taking those. When they fall, you deal with it and move on. We did it to the Heat last year before they did it to us, then they did it to us again this year.

Every team gets shit on by the 3 at some point.

[ElNono]

Too late, too many teams are way ahead of you in the loss column.

I thought if you tanked you automatically get the number 1 seed???!?!???!

[Ditty]

v4jGSvxCRp4

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

You can say we're missing some of our key players during this stretch. But the D has significantly gotten worse since the RRT. It is really reminding me of last season. Excuse me for being a little paranoid. We've seen this story before.

Yes, the D needs some work. But the commentators just made a good point about the team transitioning to new lineups since Manu is back. Pop is tinkering. They'll find a groove agin.


Time to tank the season, tbh fwiw imo

Exactly. :lol


Just some perspective: OKC lost to CLEVELAND tonight! At home!!! Every team loses.

[mexicanjunior]

I think you take the loss, learn from it and move on.

If I thought Pop would actually learn from it, I would be as over the top optimistic as you. Fact is, Bonner, Blair and Jefferson will be getting the same amount of playing time in the playoffs that they are getting now. They are a proven formula for bad defense and playoff ineptitude...

[Budkin]

Dude, Tony Parker wasn't playing. You guys are overreacting pretty bad.

This.

[Chomag]

TO many softies on this team in Bonner, Blair, and RJ. 1 on the roster you can probebly get by with but with 3, just forget it .

[jjktkk]

Gotta love the game blog after a loss. :lol

[DPG21920]

There isn't much time left to "tighten" up the defense in all honesty. Pop's idea of playoff rotation is starting Neal (more offense, less defense) over Green and keeping RJ in. Not to mention choking Bonner continuing to see crunch time minutes.

Spurs have been flat out awful since the RRT at home an no matter how you slice it, their level of play on both ends is alarming. Luckily Tim and Manu look healthy (although TP is now missing games due to injury).

[Chomag]

What are you going to do? Mo was hitting contested 3s. You want them taking those. When they fall, you deal with it and move on. We did it to the Heat last year before they did it to us, then they did it to us again this year.

Every team gets shit on by the 3 at some point.

His shots may have been contested a few times, but Mo had almost no pressure on him at all. He got into hsi spots and his shot with ease.

[Crazymaddopeyo]

All the good teams are losing. Guys are getting tired, playing without your mvp is going to affect the team. Yes defense was lacking, but some of those shots were covered pretty well and mo williams was not missing.

[timtonymanu]

Yes, the D needs some work. But the commentators just made a good point about the team transitioning to new lineups since Manu is back. Pop is tinkering. They'll find a groove agin.



:lol and also seeing assholes like Mo Williams beat us is adding more heat to my overreaction. I really don't like him. We'll see how this team looks a few weeks from now. Hopefully no more players get injured. Fucking lockout.
