Cory Joseph..

[Malik Hairston]

I'm not a fan, but this nigga has earned minutes just with that dunk tonight, tbh..

[Spurs9]

MVP tbh, he's taking a dump on everyone and is the only one along with Diaw who look like they want to play.

[timtonymanu]

Chinook and rob's boy coming through

[DAF86]

I don't know. I prefer Mills shooting. Put Patty first, if he doesn't deliver go with Cory.

[DJR210]

I haven't seen someone split double teams as nicely since Manu in his early days

[playblair]

op dont start cojo threads................. op = cojo hater............ real fans understood cojo>>>>>>>>>mills.............playcojo

[baseline bum]

A dunk in a game that's long since over? Who cares?

[Chinook]

I think he should get all of Beli's and a few of Mills' minutes. The Thunder play three PGs, so the Spurs doing so shouldn't be an issue. Just no more Beli. Should be non-negotiable at this point.

[timtonymanu]

Patty is losing his minutes at the same time.

[Two10Whitey]

Not just the dunk.. Driving to the rim, playing good defense, and showing some damn intensity. This team is playing soft, we need someone to get hype out there.

[Malik Hairston]

A dunk in a game that's long since over? Who cares?

Mills is shooting 20% in the series and Belinelli is one of the worst players in the league, tbh..

[bklynspursfan]

It's all about matchups. We could conceivably have Mills/Joseph out there cause Marco has been underwhelming. Joseph has enough size. Especially if we're talking about a back court of Fisher/Jackson or WB/Fisher. Would be interesting but I guess we'll see what Pop does.

[baseline bum]

OKC just got lazy.

[Malik Hairston]

I love Patty Mills, but he's completely choking in this series, tbh..he can't even make wide open shots anymore..

[baseline bum]

Mills is shooting 20% in the series and Belinelli is one of the worst players in the league, tbh..

I'd rather see Bonner get minutes than Del Negro :lol

[Spurs da champs]

I think he should get all of Beli's and a few of Mills' minutes. The Thunder play three PGs, so the Spurs doing so shouldn't be an issue. Just no more Beli. Should be non-negotiable at this point.

[UZER]

Sad that a scrub off the bench is the only player not scared to challenge ibaka at the rim.

[jag]

Sometimes he looks like he'd be lucky to make a D-League team. Other times he looks like a legit backup NBA PG.

[Aus10]

our savior.

[jag]

I guess I could say the same for Manu

[Malik Hairston]

Joseph isn't anything special, don't get me wrong, I hate on him all the time:lol..but at this point, neither Mills nor Belinelli should be seeing the floor IMO..

[timtonymanu]

I'd rather see Bonner get minutes than Del Negro :lol

Makes me wish Nando was still available on the bench :lol

[baseline bum]

I guess I could say the same for Manu

Maybe he really is out for the playoffs

[baseline bum]

Makes me wish Nando was still available on the bench :lol

Makes me wish Jason Hart or Charlie Ward was back tbh

[AFBlue]

Fucking fearless...can't say the same for anyone on the starting unit tbqh.

[DAF86]

We shouldn't panick. Just play better.

[itzsoweezee]

He's stealing Patty's minutes, and deservedly so.

[Jenks]

A dunk in a game that's long since over? Who cares?Because everyone else has played 2 straight games of faggy layups and weak floaters against a team of shot blockers. If the Spurs are going to win the series they need to go into the body of Ibaka & co and/or dunk the fucking ball.

[HI-FI]

Dojo of CoJo as I said before. Loved that dunk. I won't even say it's a moral victory, but I was glad the second unit showed some balls. Cojo was a big reason that we forced them to play their starters to the end, so that's a good thing.

[Mugen]

Thank god he's Canadian so there's a chance he'll get some minutes next game tbh.

[Trill Clinton]

I think he should get all of Beli's and a few of Mills' minutes. The Thunder play three PGs, so the Spurs doing so shouldn't be an issue. Just no more Beli. Should be non-negotiable at this point.

yup. beli should get the sefelosha treatment the rest of this series. kawhi should not be taking out of the game unless he's in foul trouble.

[ElNono]

there are no saviors... I expect him to get some minutes over Danny next game though, especially if Danny can't find himself open from downtown...

[spurraider21]

Makes me wish Jason Hart or Charlie Ward was back tbh
Shane Heal tbh

[Chinook]

there are no saviors... I expect him to get some minutes over Danny next game though, especially if Danny can't find himself open from downtown...

I actually agree with you. Pop's allergic to having his three-best perimeter defenders in the rotation at the same time.

[jag]

there are no saviors... I expect him to get some minutes over Danny next game though, especially if Danny can't find himself open from downtown...

The only hope the Spurs have to win this series is to have Danny, Manu, Kawhi and Diaw go off from three. Need Danny in there. Might as well start firing off and hope for the best.

[Malik Hairston]

there are no saviors... I expect him to get some minutes over Danny next game though, especially if Danny can't find himself open from downtown...

Pretty strange that you would rather bench the best perimeter defender on the team and a guy with a 60% TS in the playoffs, rather than benching the 2 worst Spurs in the playoffs:lol,.

[apalisoc_9]

Cory earned minutes today...He defended the ball pretty darn well and most importantly he wasn't hesitating.

[apalisoc_9]

Honestly, I don't see what pop sees in Belli the dude just flat out sucks.

[Mugen]

there are no saviors... I expect him to get some minutes over Danny next game though, especially if Danny can't find himself open from downtown...

I'd quit on the team if that happened while Mills and Beli still got minutes tbh :lol

[Nathan89]

He should certainly get Beli and Cojos minutes. Possibly some of Green's as well. Looking forward to what Pop does with Cojo next game.

It's not me, I would rather bench Mills or Beli... I just get the feeling Pop really thinks he needs more offense, and so neither Mills or Beli minutes are negotiable, despite the overall failures...

[ElNono]

I'd quit on the team if that happened while Mills and Beli still got minutes tbh :lol

I just think that's Pop thinking... you could argue it works when Tiago is effective down low (spacing and what not), but Tiago was completely pussified since he saw Ibaka's shadow...

[Mugen]

That'd be a terrible, terrible move since Danny is one of the few that has shown a semblance of having testicles out of the rotation players recently tbh. He had some terrible turnovers but you live with that considering how important he is in the series.

[ElNono]

I've always said I thought Danny plays better at home. It's an eye-ball thing, haven't checked the numbers. That's why I would prefer he plays his usual minutes (or more).

But I think Pop is lost in his own thing.

[objective]

God, we have to watch Marco play like crap next year too

[therealtruth]

He's got to play. He's the only guy who knows how to attack a shot blocker. You don't toss some weak stuff up there. You go right into his body. Plus we're going to need all the perimeter defense we can get. The only way we win is if we start playing defense. That should give us enough breathing room to find our offense.

[BatManu20]

Considering how poorly Patty has played, I'd say it'd be dumb not to give Cojo some PT next game. Not like we have much to lose tbh. Our backs are against the wall at this point.

[crc21209]

I wouldnt seeing CoJo out there with Mills or Parker when the Thunder have Westbrook and Jackson out there at the same time.

[Dingle Barry]

I'd rather see Bonner get minutes than Del Negro :lol

Huge fucking insult to the legacy of Vinny. VDN was a far superior player and had much better hair.

[slick'81]

God, we have to watch Marco play like crap next year too


Neal with it

[MI21]

Mills deserves the first call in Game 5 at home... but short-leash him.

No Belinelli and play Green more (for fuck sake). If Pop isn't going to do that, replace Belinelli with Joseph.

[heyheymymy]

beli needs to wake up if cojo is about to eat his mins in the playoffs.

[therealtruth]

If felt sad for Mills when WB punted his shot at the end of the quarter. If felt like it was a symbol of what the Thunder were doing to the Spurs chances of winning this series.

[99 Problems]

Pop's rotations are such that there's not many Millsy minutes to steal. Today when the game blew out and was gone, Millsy had played a grand total of 3 minutes. Tbh I'd prefer Pop reverting back.

[Prose]

I don't know. I prefer Mills shooting. Put Patty first, if he doesn't deliver go with Cory.
Cojo at 6'3 is a much better defender on westbrooke. We need to get stops first and foremost. Cojo over patty....plus what that cojos first dunk?

[Prose]

I'd rather see Bonner get minutes than Del Negro :lol


Hahaha omg marco=del negro.....:wow

[hommeaetage]

Belinelli doesn't deserve a single minute the rest of this series. I'd give his minutes to Cojo and keep Mills on a short leash also. Mills is shooting 25% fg and 15% from downtown in this series. But we know Pop, he's too stubborn to see what's in front of him

[99 Problems]

Will we now try to move Marco b4 next season? I see some worrying signs of Pop having faith in him in this series. And when Pop like someone?

[Prose]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uiJCEB8_Beg
Did you see ibakas face!!:lol

[hommeaetage]

If only Tony could learn how to split a double team like that too

[dg7md]

CoJo might be our "athletic player" that we need going forward. It was garbage time but he showed us all a lot out there tonight. Pop would be absolutely ridiculous to not have more time for him in the next few games.

[Nathan89]

Did you see ibakas face!!:lol

You know the thunder won right?

[Prose]

You know the thunder won right?

[Raven]

damn that's a dunk. Always been on the "playcojoDon'tplaypattyAndkillcancernelli" bandwagon tbh

[UZER]

And Ibaka with the follow thru to the face. These dudes don't give a fuck. Pop is always trying to be gentlemanly. It's almost like he hides behind it. He wants nasty, but only middle school nasty, not college orgy nasty.

Pop wants to call out the softness and question their toughness, but won't let them lay the wood because "we don't foul".

Well While you're " not fouling " the refs are calling it any way so they're getting and-oned, pulling your pants down, screaming in your face, and separating themselves on the scoreboard.

[21209]

I still wouldn't trust CoJo in the rotation if my life depended on it.

[Stabula]

Start CoJo over TP

[hommeaetage]

I still wouldn't trust CoJo in the rotation if my life depended on it.

what has Belinelli done over the last 20 games or so that warrants him getting minutes over Cojo?

[Strategic]

The only hope the Spurs have to win this series is to have Danny, Manu, Kawhi and Diaw go off from three. Need Danny in there. Might as well start firing off and hope for the best.To trust in anything else would be folly.

[elemento]

The game was over, but that dunk was fucking awesome.

We need some of that right in the beginning of game 5.

[21209]

what has Belinelli done over the last 20 games or so that warrants him getting minutes over Cojo?

What has CoJo done in the last three years that warrants him getting minutes over anyone?

[hommeaetage]

What has CoJo done in the last three years that warrants him getting minutes over anyone?

You can knock Cojo all you want, but at least he tries on defense. Beli on the other hand has not given us anything on both side of the ball. At this point you can't do any worse than Beli by giving Cojo some of his minutes

[LoneStarState'sPride]

Belinelli has done exactly jack shit all series. Really all playoffs save for the first couple of games against POR.

[spurspokesman]

What has CoJo done in the last three years that warrants him getting minutes over anyone?

Nothing much. But when you are one of the main reasons for an 18-5 run that has your coach contemplating putting the starters back in to possibly steal a game you were clearly out of and throw down a monsterous dunk on the man who had your starters scared shitless you sort of raise an eyebrow or two. If bell and mills vaginas are out you give cojo a quick look, ala jeremy lamb who was a bench warmer and commenced to help push the spurs shit in when infused in the lineup on a short leash.

[99 Problems]

CoJo's trade value is at all time high.

[r0drig0lac]

I still wouldn't trust CoJo in the rotation if my life depended on it.

cojo>> bellinelli and that's all you need to know

[cd021]

Sometimes he looks like he'd be lucky to make a D-League team. Other times he looks like a legit backup NBA PG.
:lol thats actually a great dscriptíon of Joseph. He can be so wildly inconsistent but has looked solid of late.

[21209]

Spurs are in big trouble if they believe CoJo is the missing ingredient to beat OKC :lol

[look_at_g_shred]

Spurs are in big trouble if they believe CoJo is the missing ingredient to beat OKC :lol
In game 4 he might've been. The thing is, Joseph had never been shy about challenging in the paint. That is something this team has been missing as well as they're testicles.

[21209]

While I'm not saying that Marco deserves to keep his minutes, my opinion is that the more Joseph plays the more his weaknesses are exposed.

I'd rather give those minutes to Kawhi or Danny. It's not like Pop ever plays them more than he should.

[Malik Hairston]

Joseph is barely an NBA player, tbh, I hate on him all the time:lol..

But I made this thread because he was one of the few players that has played with energy/heart, and Belinelli/Mills don't deserve any more minutes, particularly Belinelli..

If it was up to me, I'd play Green/Leonard for 40 minutes each, but Pop will never even consider that, sadly..

[DMC]

The CoJo thing is overrated. The Thunder were in stat pad mode (lol playing RW until the end of the game basically so he could get 40) and weren't even playing defense. lol acting like CoJo could actually do that against the 1st quarter team.

[ElNono]

The thing with Corey is that you know it's not sustainable... if anything, he should get credit for showing the way, tbh

[DMC]

No. What's the point? If your starters cannot beat the Thunder, you might as well pack your vacation bags.

[Malik Hairston]

He didn't need to do much, but he made his minutes count, tbh..great effort from Joseph..
