Yeah that was one of those "Kevin Durant"-type fouls on Danny Green.

And I agree. The bump on Parker 5 seconds prior was a foul, but that was a no call. Harden on Danny was not a foul, but they call that one. The inconsistent reffing is just really infuriating. I mean, we benefited from it here, but it feels dirty.

Ginobili is moving okay. He just isn't making things.

Is he really? He's not really producing clean looks for his teammates, nor is he getting to the rim. He looks about 5 steps too slow right now.

He's also being killed on the defensive end most of the time. His 1 on 1 individual defense has been pretty suspect. He did have one possession of great help defense where he stole the ball back, but that's about it.

If it comes down to it, I'm alright with the spurs not winning tonight. Keep LA in det 8 seed spot where they will either be knocked out of the playoffs or play the spurs in the first round.

Of course, it'd be better for the spurs to win and solidify the 1 seed, but I won't be too upset if houston pulls it out

Well I said "clean looks." At least one of his assists involved passing to a reasonably well contested Boris Diaw who bails him out with a 3. I don't remember the other 2 assists, tbh, but I'll assume they were clean for your benefit. Either way it's quite meager for 13 minutes of play.

I didn't say the play wasn't worth criticism but you don't need to throw f bombs at a player who's been out for 3 weeks.

I think the reason his 1-on-1 defense looks suspect is because he gambles and then is already out of position when his man gets the ball. I can't say much about his offense; he seems to be driving right into, rather than through/around, the defense. Hopefully that's just him forcing things.

Yeah I agree. He's not getting around people all that easily with his eurostep (he doesn't even seem to be attempting his eurostep all that much).

Honestly if it takes forcing things for Manu to get back into rhythm, I don't mind him forcing things to find his way during the regular season.

I sort of wish Pop would tell Manu to "take 20-25 shots no matter what" for one of these upcoming games, just to see if that can help him get back into rhythm.

Well I mean I don't want him taking 20-25 shots routinely of course. Just for a game or two to see if that will help him regain his confidence.

As we've seen from previous shootaround/practice videos, his shot is just fine in practice.

I noticed that too... no more running him out there with Mills, Green, Blair and Bonner... tbh, that's a recipe for failure no matter who you are... let's hope his shot comes back... I think if he starts hitting in the 40%-45% range the rest will come to him...

I also think Manu's reputation with the refs is at an all time low. He seems to be complaining a lot more as of recent when he gets bumped in the lane. It's true that if he was a Westbrook, for example, he'd get that call every time, but he's not and he needs to just live with that. He needs to drive expecting no whistle even if he's fouled slightly.

Seriously though I don't think the reffing has been bad overall. I thought Motiejunas got called for a handful of bull shit fouls where we benefited. That James Harden phantom foul on Danny Green that led to 3 free throws helped a lot.

There have been B.S. calls on both sides, but it's been pretty even.

Just no way... Tim got called for a terrible travel call. Asik is a constant moving screen and only got called once... We're getting mugged inside and no calls, then you can't breathe on Harden

Most of Tim's free throws haven't really been fouls on the Rocket players, though. That up and under on Motiejunas was not a foul on Motiejunas. I think Parson's or Asik got called for another one where they were just standing straight up and down.
