Game 61: Heat at Spurs, a Dish Best Served Cold: 7 PM CT, March 6, 2014

[Captivus]

Good game, good night!

[Baam]

belinelli with the only negative plus minus on the team :lol

While shooting very well too, which says a lot about what he gives up on the other end... Ayres + Beli = zero upgrade...

[capek]

Holy shit no one got hurt, the end of the amuse curse.

They're not all home safe in bed yet! Don't speak too soon!!! :grim:

[DPG21920]

playing the the best team in the nba with the best player of his generation is always a concern tbh

How do you explain the Cavs with literally the worst defensive PG in the league?

[Brazil]

You gotta be some sort of stupid to take anything I say seriously. If you haven't realized I'm trolling 98% of the time then I kinda just feel bad for you.

[Raven]

Great win - only thing that concerns me is TP. He still looks off which is scary considering he got so much rest. He had a great first game back, but didn't look explosive as normal even then IMO. Second game back was poor and similar to pre-rest TP. This game was very bad after the first quarter.

Too early to say anything, but with the rest he received you would like to see some consistently better play and him looking more explosive than he does. Perhaps its just a combo of being winded and the fact he played the Heats defense that focused on him. But I am still concerned.

it's just miami, pretty much all of his shots in the paint were contested by lebron, that's hard to pull of tbh.

[Budkin]

Austin Daye with the goods tbh.

[wildbill2u]

One of the things I want to take away from this game is how Patty just keeps on the pressure by turning on the speed to go to loose balls and rebounds. Even if he doesn't get the ball he often makes the other guy screw up and turn it over. I think I saw that 3 times during the game. It doesn't show in the stats but is damn important in the outcome of a game.

[timtonymanu]

Great win. SPAM time indeed.

WHAT A WIN!!! Don't ever count out SA! Duncan was fantastic. But Parker should rest on Saturday.

[atoyotagaspedal]

Wow Austin Daye putting the cherry on top, that shit was hilarious.

Beautiful tbh :toast

[poeticism707]

Good win Spurs.

Spurs better be thankful Diaw is a better point guard than Parker.

Or they'd lose many games, including this one.

Spurs are lucky as all get out to get a player of Diaw's value in buyout. Unreal.

[RD2191]

LOL Havoc, the easiest target on this site.

[Brazil]

I've admitted to it before, you really are special.

Sure Diaz :lol

[Cry Havoc]

LOL Havoc, the easiest target on this site.

I'd rather be an easy target than an idiotic poster. :tu So you just keep telling us how we aren't going to win, how Patty is a horrible player and won't ever perform against good teams. :tu

[RD2191]

I'd rather be an easy target than an idiotic poster. :tu
:lolSee, too easy.

[timtonymanu]

Wait, is Tiago coming off the bench now?

Just on certain matchups. Diaw made more sense tonight since the Heat play small ball. The Heat are a bad matchup for Splitter unfortunately.

[RD2191]

Sure Diaz :lol
Its true, tbh.

[Cry Havoc]

:lolSee, too easy.

Yeah, you're right, it's easy to shut down stupidity. :tu

[TheGoldStandard]

Very happy with tonight's game, Parker didn't have the goods after the 1st quarter but he still drew defenders which helped open the game up.. kawhi starting to take more shots in the flow of the game which is good just needs to knock them down.. Great defense, Patty with that change of pace and good ball movement all around, and quietly Tim just does work.

Now if Daye could actually do that in the Ayres role that would be so great.. truly spreading the floor.

[Brazil]

TP was awful against them..

Not sure it is relevant, cavs suck TP didn't give a shit

But hey plenty of rs bb to be played... We will see how it goes

[HarlemHeat37]

One of the things I want to take away from this game is how Patty just keeps on the pressure by turning on the speed to go to loose balls and rebounds. Even if he doesn't get the ball he often makes the other guy screw up and turn it over. I think I saw that 3 times during the game. It doesn't show in the stats but is damn important in the outcome of a game.

Yep, which is why it annoys me when some posters here compare him to Neal, tbh..

Neal was known for lackadaisical effort on defense(along with his lack of lateral speed) and loose balls, outside of taking charges around the basket..Mills provides constant energy and pressure in every facet of the game..

[ace3g]

In all seriousness, in the short minutes Daye has gotten, he has looked aggressive. Shown both willing to shoot and post up ability. He isn't just going through the motions.

That in itself should get him ahead of Ayres in rotation.

[Raven]

butler in okc is pretty much the same situation as belinelli with us, he's shooting 4/5 from three and .500 from the field, yet he has an absurd -17 in what is now a closely contested game.

[Cry Havoc]

Phoenix with 101 in 3 quarters against that elite defensive team in OKC. :lol

[ElNono]

:flag: We Win!

[DPG21920]

I thought you were saying he played bad just because it was the Heat, so I said what's the excuse for the game vs Cavs. Thats the only reason I brought it up.

Agreed. He's been aggressive.

I just wish he'd be given a chance like Ayers has been given repeatedly.

PJ Carlesimo is making excuses for Lebron saying he's tired and the mask is getting to him. LOL. STFU up PJ, he's 29 and scored 61 on Monday. Even the ESPN anchor called him out on that excuse. TP and Kawhi can make excuses too that they're still trying to round into form.

[Brazil]

I thought you were saying he played bad just because it was the Heat, so I said what's the excuse for the game vs Cavs. Thats the only reason I brought it up.

Ya I got it. I was just saying against Miami he tried, not sure he tried against cavs that's why cavs IMO is not relevant.

Gerald Green has 38 points and is 8/11 from the 3 point line! :wow

Which is fine. People aren't comparing Beli to Neal though, they're comparing Patty. You're right that Beli is a better comparison (and also a significant upgrade) to Neal.

They gotta spin that shit.. Spurs team ball is not the way the league wants teams to win.. they have to have that superstar that they can market to fan boys and children and the asian market who need a larger than life figure to sell too

And Beli is an upgrade over Neal in every aspect.

[RD2191]

Sick and tired of all these "player" fans. Who the fuck cares if Parker had a bad game? Spurs need to play team ball to win it all. People like to say that I ain't a real fan but at least I root for the entire team. Mills has made me eat crow lately and I'm glad it happened. Root for the TEAM, fuck player fans.

[Brazil]

I'll take that as a compliment:)

[ace3g]

Agreed. He's been aggressive.

I just wish he'd be given a chance like Ayers has been given repeatedly.

Well Ayres hand injury might be a blessing in disguise for Daye.

I'm not getting ahead of myself because Daye still has to prove himself defensively but he has potential in the Spurs system, more so than Ayres because he doesn't have confidence in his mid range jumper.

[Mikeanaro]

Thats because Patty is awesome

This and Pop made that mistake which I will never understand. One of the al time great rebounders is not on the floor when one rebound probably ends the game. But that is the past.

Great fucken win by dem Spurs.
Parker with the hot start.
KL with a AMAZING job on defense.
Duncan anchoring the middle.
Diaw with a quietly effective job on both ends.

The Pop system resurrecting Daye.

[SpurPadre]

Which is fine. People aren't comparing Beli to Neal though, they're comparing Patty. You're right that Beli is a better comparison (and also a significant upgrade) to Neal.

Exactly. Beli has better offensive awareness, handles, passer, cutter and at the other end, he's better at staying with his man and hustles to the best of his limited defensive ability.

[DPG21920]

Both HOU & OKC are very very scary. Everyone else, if healthy, Spurs should beat. Those two I am not sure if they "should" beat them. They can, but really rough match ups.

[Mugen]

Beli being slightly bigger than Neal helps him avoid being absolutely overpowered out there.

He's still subpar defensively but at least he's not getting obliterated by a one-shoed Mike Miller tbh.

[timtonymanu]

If we end up with the number 1 overall seed, Pop deserves it more, in my opinion.

Pop's an all time great but Hornacek taking Dragic/Bledsoe and a bunch of scrubs and turning them into a playoff team is quite a feat.

[crc21209]

Both HOU & OKC are very very scary. Everyone else, if healthy, Spurs should beat. Those two I am not sure if they "should" beat them. They can, but really rough match ups.

Ok, I apologize PJ. Now he's making excuses for the Spurs not being completely there yet we still won by 24.

The only thing Neal has the adv on is the ability to put up a 20+ point game. Oh and the ability to always shoot 3s coming off screens.

Beli knows how to make the simple play to get easier baskets for his teammates.

So he was the only guy affected... then he must be right, remember to his Letards when he is right he is right and when he is wrong he still is right

I don't even know about that. Neal had 6 20+ point games all of last season. Belinelli has 6 20+ point games already and we still have a quarter of the season left.

[Raven]

The only thing Neal has the adv on is the ability to put up a 20+ point game. Oh and the ability to always shoot 3s coming off screens.

Beli knows how to make the simple play to get easier baskets for his teammates.

which in other words it means that belinelli gives nothing in comparison to green, while neal does. In fairness i think belinelli can do both the things you mentioned, but i don't think he'll do them when it will matter. Neal could play within the system, but he was specifically useful when he went crazy after the system was broken, carring the offense when none else could buy a shot, that's what neal gave us. Belinelli does not give that to us.

[Baam]

Neal could play within the system, but he was specifically useful when he went crazy after the system was broken, carring the offense when none else could buy a shot, that's what neal gave us. Belinelli does not give that to us.

The difference was also that Neal was both the PG and the SG with the Spurs playing taller off the bench... The Mills-Beli-Manu lineup pretty much uses two players to replace one and they don't have a choice since Mills a worse passer than Neal and Beli can't play point at all... So the defense is actually worse than with just Neal and a true SF... The offense is much better tho but against a team like OKC it might not be a good compromise... Even a tosb SJax may be better to have against OKC than Beli...

Did you just say Mills is a worse passer than Neal? Not a lot of people will agree with you on that. In fact, anyone who does agree with that is a troll.
