[thispego]

?

[spursfan1000]

I will tell you after game 3

[Spurtacus]

Don't turn the ball over.

[Uriel]

Less 4-down, more pick-and-roll.

[Richie]

Everyone and his dog knew how okc were going to defend tonight. Pop needs to figure it out

[ElNono]

play like we want to win

[ffadicted]

Figure out how to play properly on the switch pnr, stop turning over the ball like turds, way more effort on the glass, and make your defensive rotations.

[rapliketp]

fisher can't handle smaller, quicker point guards like mills. they could try to exploit that somehow?

[Poolboy5623]

Keep the red head on the bench..

[cheguevara]

bring your balls with you and leave the vagina at the hotel

[arial]

Don't play like a bunch of bitches

[Poolboy5623]

I actually saw this coming sooner or later...Timmy's "fools gold" state lines were going to catch up with the spurs..he has scored a lot of bunnies and perimeter shots. .it was only a matter of time before they started running a bunch of plays for him! I just hope they see what I'm seeing and go away from that..better now than in the finals against the heat -

[Poolboy5623]

Stat lines

[freetiago]

less unforced turnovers
no stephen jackson handling the ball
no 4 down
run a double pick and roll, harder to switch on that
could play tim/tiago together

OKCs role players wont be hot again for the entire series either

[Cant_Be_Faded]

No Bonner, have Danny regrow his nut sack

[Seventyniner]

Pass the damn ball, preferably without turning it over. Make open shots.
/thread

[Mugen]

Show up and match their intensity. Pretty much all there is to it.

[Richie]

This is not about intensity, we just can't get penetration

[GrandeDavid]

?

I say they grow a pair and play with heart

[noles1983]

quit being pussies, biggest adjustment

[mudyez]

Anderson = +6
Splitter = +3

nuff said!

[UZER]

NO MORE BONNER!!!!

Pop waited until the last two minutes of the 1st qtr to put in Splitter to avoid the intentional fouls. And played him early second and 4th just like many predicted to dare the hack-a-shaq and put them in the penalty.

That's why Bonner got in so early. But as it has been said many times, Bonner does nothing in the playoffs!!!!! The thunder are quick enough to recovery and rush him off the 3 point line which renders him completely useless in this series!!! *sigh*

[Stringer_Bell]

1) No more cute passes against these dudes. Their arms are too long. It hadn't been a big problem in a long time, but it was just so obvious they were forcing passes and I'm not ready to give credit to OKC for that - our dudes just tried to force shit and find shortcuts.
2) Start Jackson instead of Green - I know it might cause early fouls, but OKC will come out acting tough and Jackson needs to get nasty early.
3) Stick to the system, and don't doubt yourself.

[TDMVPDPOY]

u need to shoot those jumpers when open instead of penetrating, diaw has a habit of this....

we got killed when we tried to put a run, their bench stepped up was the difference

why didnt pop played KL more, he was aggressive with the reb when we needed boards....

[DontStopBelieving]

I think that the only adjustment we'll see is Blair getting minutes.. Possibly more minutes for Parker and Manu as well, as I think the Gary Neal PG experiment is over. Other than that, I think the only thing the Spurs need to do is play with more energy and they'll be fine.

[justinandimcool]

their pnr defense is scary good right now. that's the biggest thing and frankly the only thing. if we fix that we fix the turnover problem, i'm just not exactly sure how...other than 4-down.

[Capt Bringdown]

Bonner in street clothes.
Green gets a scrotum transplant.

[Venti Quattro]

The Spurs need to stop taking too many jumpshots and drive the ball to the fucking rack.

[Spurtacus]

The Spurs need to stop taking too many jumpshots and drive the ball to the fucking rack.

They are getting hacked and no calls. Obvious one tonight early 4th when Manu got hit in the head.

[Venti Quattro]

That's no excuse not to take it strong imo. It's the conference finals. The Spurs shot 26 three pointers, which I felt was way too many for them. They should keep that figure at around 20-22/game.

[SA210]

NO more Bonner
No more last year Pop

[DontStopBelieving]

They are getting hacked and no calls. Obvious one tonight early 4th when Manu got hit in the head.

They are honestly getting enough calls. They just weren't being aggressive tonight

[pikkiwoki]

Don't turn the ball over.

[Shastafarian]

The Spurs should institute a new rule. Any time Matt Bonner is on the court, funnel your man to him while on defense and just wait behind the Ginger Kid. Chances are around 100% the man will drive right past Bonner, making it more likely to draw a charge. On offense, clearly it should be a game of keep away from anything with red hair and short arms.

[gambit1990]

i'd rather seeing green guard westbrook and parker guard sefolosha.

to a lesser extent, i wouldn't be opposed to mills seeing more time. imo he matches up better with fisher than neal. mills is quicker and a better bandhaller. and passer too. and plays better defense.

[The_Worlds_finest]

Um fuck bonner? MOre Blair!

[therealtruth]

Everyone and his dog knew how okc were going to defend tonight. Pop needs to figure it out

I could have told Pop they were going to put Sefalosha on Parker after he lit them up last game.

[therealtruth]

1)
2) Start Jackson instead of Green - I know it might cause early fouls, but OKC will come out acting tough and Jackson needs to get nasty early.
3) Stick to the system, and don't doubt yourself.

I agree KL could have a Thabo effect on defense if he defends Westbrook. You then start Jax to prevent KD from getting going.

[LASToog36]

Like i been saying the whole time during this series... tiago is a weenie takes weenie shots and plays like a scared pussy i dont think hes good at all unless in the pick and roll which has been proven to be ineffective with the switch...bench him play BLAIR!!! he is legit... as for green s"STOP SHOOTING" u have an ugly stroke, look for the easier score..

[SenorSpur]

Match the intensity of the opposition and play like their hair is on fire.

[cutewizard]

best adjustment for game 4?

destroy the fucking illuminati!!!


lol

[cutewizard]

im assuming the illuminati are influencing the outcome of NBA games


hehehe

[racm]

Elbow to Harden's pubic hair beard tbh

[bulakenyo]

The Thunder were very successful with their drives and kick out to the perimeter shooters.

They've adjusted their attack, because the Spurs did a good job of compressing inside and clogging the lane everytime a ball handler gets past the FT line.

The defense converges and stops the penetration, and that was pretty good for games 1 and 2, when RW and the others mostly forced the issue.

Now, they know what happen everytime they drive hard, and they now kick out to waiting spot up guys outside.

There were actually a lot more OKC possessions where I saw waiting shooters open, only the ball handler didn't get a clear look, or wasn't smart enough to pass it out.

I think the team needs to adjust this part of the defense more.

[TDMVPDPOY]

keep on attacking the rim, soon or later refs have to blow whistle on those phantom goaltending ibaka gets away with

[ViceCity86]

Play Blair...He can banged on the boards with Ibaka and collison.OKC has no bigs who can post up.I'll take my chance with Blair as my rim protector opposed to Splitter.I have seen Blair play center vs Thunder and has played well.

Bring Blair at 7min mark to replace Diaw.Play him 5 minutes with Duncan.If he is balling,let him play entire 1st quarter with Jax playing the 4.Play Blair and Tiago for limited minutes.

IM TIRED OF BONNER'S PUSSY PLAYOFF ASS.
