Question

[playbonner15]

If the Spurs have the best bench in the NBA with Marcu, Mills, Bonner, Baynes, why do they still lose to decent teams?

[Boomersgold]

Easy. Because we also have a unit called "the starters", and how they play will also affect the game.

Last game against the Pacers:
Player +/-
Duncan -18
Parker -18
Leonard -25
Splitter +6
Green -16

Not saying that our Bench played well. Just pointing out that our starters didn't exactly play well.

Bonner? Baynes?

Bonner? Baynes?

Just noticed that he had included them in our "bench". :lol

The bench is pretty weak defensively, all the defense is in the first unit, the rotation is very unbalanced... The bench got owned by OKC's bench, every year we hear it's the best but it's not all that...

Both these guys got playoff minutes so I don't see the problem with that tbh...

Because they don't have the best bench in the league, you jackass.

Where is Diaw? Where is Manu? Our bench: Mills, Bellineli, Diaw and Manu.

because when your starters suck. it does not matter how good your bench is.

that and the return of Turnobili

Manu 33 turnovers in 19 games, which means 1,79 turnovers per game, Turnobili? What about Parker? 46 turnovers in 18 games, which means 2,55 turnovers per game. ParkOVER?

still not understanding the roles of SG vs PG huh?

by your way of thinking we should have Tiago handle the ball every single possesion :lmao

I do understand what you are saying, but 1,75 turnovers per game IS THAT BAD? COME ON, LEARN SOME BASKETBALL. If you think 1,75 turnovers per game is bad, then almost all players in the NBA should retire tbh.

Tiago doesn't even dribble the ball and you say that. I would never think that.

8 turnovers in an NBA Finals clincher IS THAT BAD, it's actually HISTORIC :rolleyes

"Return of Turnobili" you said, or you keep thinking about the past? aww poor kid :depressed

Yeah sorry forgot about Diaw. Marcu is what they call Marco Beli /Manu Ginobili here in ST.

Because our starters are garbage, tbh.

[superbigtime]

"Decent" teams? They lost to 4 of the best teams in the league, granted none of them great teams, and each loss was predictable given circumstance and opponent, except maybe that Rockets game which was 50-50 and was winnable. The bench has shooting power but not much muscle. Green is a starter but I consider him bench talent and his play has stunk for the most part.

[TheGreatYacht]

Bonner?!?! you wanna add De Culo, Baynes, and CoJo too?
