SMH Splitter. Can you please learn how to just throw it down with authority.
Raven
12-21-2013, 10:18 PM
it is amazing how all perimeter players on elite teams, they face the Spurs can hit open jumpers all
you don't play 100% D all game, players are going to get hot and if they do, you aren't stopping them easily. SA doesn't play D for the whole game.

12-21-2013, 10:18 PM
Danny Green's role needs to be pulled back. he should not playmake. He should not take any shots other than 3's. He should not leave Durant open.
I don't know why Pop doesn't pull him when he plays out of his role. Like a turnover machine
PlayNando
12-21-2013, 10:19 PM
Patty missing those two chip shot tbrees was key. 6-pt swing.

I did not say it happens once in a while, I said that ALWAYS happens that Spurs face an elite team, all players of that team, a scrubs are good, start to hit all the pitches that try to open even if they have a FG career 30%, so it's amazing how that happens

That was a great call. Refs gotta even it out after all the home cooking thus far.

Adams jumps over Tiago's back & his momentum carries him outta bounds!

well it happens all the time, because they don't play good perimeter D at some point of the game on every game. (and it's always the same part of game)

Yep. Adams made one of them.

As well as TD putting too much mustard on that pass to Diaw that was a sure two points.

Splitter needs psychologica assistance to lose his fear to attack the rim.

Spurs out of a hole, westbrook hits 2 pitches challenged with 20 seconds on the clock, the advantage rises again, repeat ... and every game is going well

combine that with westbrook having a hot night on the perimeter (also has tp not playing his usual on ball d) and this okc team is just a horrible matchup, period

We need Defense. These good teams are scorching us. Leonard is the one athletic guy we got and he was out. And tbh he hasn't been the guy I thought we would start to see him become. If at 3/4 of the way through the season and Leonard isn't growing into a stud/showing serious signs, then this year is going to be a big disappointment. Sooner our later Pop needs to let the guy play 35 mpg, give him the green light to shoot. I would also like to see the higher usage rate we are all begging for.

He's showing signs of aggressivness and his shot is beginning to look more natural, but only Pop knows why this kid isnt playing 35mpg+

Pretty bad to lose this game after that momentum we had the last two games.
What went wrong? Missed the game.

Yeah, why is the fuss? last year we loss the finals against a more athletic team, now we cant even win stupid regular games and dudes like Green and Kiwi are playing like shit, even Porker is a piece of shit hero baller, the team looks tired and done, why is the fuss?

Asik? He is a lot like Splitter tbh. But he is a better rebounder. IMO he is probably an upgrade.

I'm not making any judgements until we play this team again at full strength. Kawhi is consistently our best player against the Thunder.

Spurs got it to within 3 and had all the momentum. Then Splitter bricked 2 freebies and it all went to shit.

Tyson Chandler would fit in so well on this team. I'd totally do it straight up.

Our interior defense is fine. We just need Kawhi healthy.

Rebounding is still an issue and so is our perimeter d.

Agree that our perimeter D is a big issue with Kawhi out. Parker/Manu/Marco are subpar defenders.

Our rebounding is still sub par. We need a better big to go with Duncan. No ifs ands or buts.

:lol No.
Splitter is better offensively and is a great team defender. He also doesn't complain about constantly being shifted in and out of the starting lineup game to game or even half to half. This is a classic reaction following a loss. Its insane.

Absolutely.
We have actually played them rather closely since losing to them in the WCF. We won 2 games last season. Nearly rallied with De Colo playing the majority of the 4th quarter at OKC. Two of our most lopsided losses against them in the past 6 meetings, Kawhi had DNPs. Kawhi has been a 2 way threat against them and does a solid job of defending Durant without fouling.

:lol yeah because Splitter grabbing 11 rebounds was bad. Kawhi averages nearly a double-double against the Thunder. He plays and the rebounding battle is close and the Spurs more than likely win this game.

More specifically the offensive glass.
We are 3rd in the league in Defensive rebounding percentage but 27th in offensive rebounding percentage.
Splitter has been by far our best offensive rebounder. Oddly enough, Splitter grabs more offensive boards per game than any other player on the Spurs including Duncan. While playing just 20mpg. The best way to improve is to play Splitter more.
Diaw is a great offensive player and a good defender but he is pretty bad on the glass. He averages roughly the same as Mills and Ginobili on the Offensive glass.
Westbrook is playing way smarter which is scary as fuck...

People will try to look at our record against teams that aren't even trying to win, and make us feel better. But the truth is that the team blows. This is the worst Spurs team in the post-Jefferson era. Part of me wants to believe they'll start playing well in the second part of the season, that suddenly they'll play defense and rebound well, that suddenly they'll show toughness. But part of me also knows this is wishful thinking.

We are 2nd in defense and 3rd in defensive rebounding percentage. Offensive rebounding has been a problem, has historically been a problem for the Spurs. We are 27th. Splitter has been the best offensive rebounder. He is a averaging more than Duncan while playing 8 fewer minutes.

I actually think we do need to get better down low too. splitter is ok but we could always do better. when splitter and duncan are out we are really bad on the boards. I propsed a trade in the trade/rumors thread that got no response. So I will post it here.
spurs get:
SF dorrell wright- is only getting 10-15 minutes in portland. has a good 3 point shot. and is a quality backup for kawhi and at 6'9" can play small 4.
C meyers leonard- is only getting 5 minutes a game. is behind lopez, aldridge, robinson, and freeland
SG allen crabbe- only gets 0-5 minutes a game. but is a shooter with very good length. 6'6" 2 guard. has good athleticism too.
all three of these guys are playing backup roles and aren't getting a lot of time. but could come in and help the spurs with rebounding and length.
portland gets:
danny green- I know some don't want to give him up. but with the emergence of bellineli green is tradable. him and manu man the 2 spot with crabb getting mop up minutes or decolo.
cory joseph- right now mo williams is their backup PG. joseph gives them a young guy to build with lillard.
aron baynes- fits in as a 5th big for them. young and can develop with them still.
matt bonner- gives them a stretch 4. at this point england has signed off on thomas and his shot. making bonner expendable.
portland gets more experienced. helping them make their push this year. they also get a dead eye shooter to go with mathews.

if the spurs trade green, he'll be out of the league as soon as his contract is up.

I don't see Portland wanting this trade. They don't need Joseph having drafted CJ McCollum. There is no reason at all to give up a lottery pick like Leonard and take back Baynes in return. I can't see why they would want a stretch 4 like Bonner when they have Aldridge playing big minutes who specifically doesn't want to play center.
The Blazers need Wright as backup for Batum, they wouldn't trade him without getting a replacement and we don't have one to give them.
If the Spurs really saw something in Allen Crabbe we'd have drafted him. I suspect his poor attitude turned us off. Don't see the Spurs wanting him and besides, what exactly does he have over Green? He is basically a less inexperienced, unproven version of Danny.
Just a horrible, horrible, horrible trade for Portland. They literally get shafted in every aspect.
