Game Grades Game 5.

[apalisoc_9]

Kawhi Leonard Was a poor night from kawhi offensively, but he delivered some key play late in the fourth. The Tip, the transition play for a Diaw three the clutch free throw. Defensively, he was subpar IMO..Some really bad rotations. Not DPOY level on the defensive end tonight that's for sure. But hey if you're getting 18 points, and 9 Boards and some key assist as your bad game, I'll take it.

Tim Duncan. 21 points in 13 shots. Great defensive clutch plays.

Tony Parker C He was Great last 4 minute of the game. He run the offense really well..Overall a shitty game, but it's good seeing parker playing good basketball for a stretch. Parker's best game so far.

Boris Diaw B- Foul trouble for the most part and was awful defensively the first three quarters. Made up for it in the 4th with awesome plays in the offensive end and some key rebounds.

Manu Ginobili B- Outstanding in the first half. LA looked like they were going to win by 30..made some threes, made some defensive plays. Was terrible in the third though. Up 6 points and turns the ball over 3 times that got LA the lead back.

Patty Mills - Perfect from three 4-4. Really the guy that got the spurs back in the game in the first quarter.

Danny Green - Missed a ton of three pointers, but made on really important three. Got some nice twos..Defensively, bothered paul.

Matty Bonner - hit a three pointer....

Tiago Splitter - Bad just bad.

Aaron Baynes - Some bad defensive rotations. Didn't contribute offensively.

Bellineli - Great lift offensively in the third and fourth. Allowed crisp movement.

[spurraider21]

Splitter F... worst player on the floor

Duncan A... most reliable, consistent player on the squad. clutch defensive plays

Leonard B-... didn't play well, but still managed to contribute with plays down the stretch. i still think he tries a bit too hard to look for his own shot at times

Green C... another poor game. made some splash defensive plays, had some possessions where he really pestered paul. but was mostly invisible. bricking good looks and a clutch FT

Parker B-... he's still bad, and is just helpless defensively. on offense he did make some plays and is our only reliable ball-handler right now. thought he got bailed out with some foul calls

Mills A+... wanted to see more minutes out of him. he was dynamite. we get blown out if he doesnt do what he did in the 1st

Diaw B+... he didn't play well overall, but he gets big bonus points for hitting huge shots late in the game. finally made a 3 in the series

Marco A-... came in, made shots, subbed out. he's been really good in this series. the clippers are weak at the wings and marco has taken advantage

Baynes F... Baynes and Splitter both playing like ass is a huge concern. we need at least one of them to shape up

Manu B-... Manu giveth and Manu taketh away. made some big shots, had some terrible turnovers. managed to not be a net negative, which is an improvement for him in this series. i miss the manu that could take a game over

Diaw B-??? :nope

Manu shld be B+ for being the director on the floor & FTs.

[apalisoc_9]

Diaw was terrible the first three quarters, IMO.

Also Leonard was poor in some stretches.

[Sean Cagney]

Can't disagree with you on the grades....... Agreed.

[apalisoc_9]

Can't disagree with you on the grades....... Agreed.

What you think of Belli?

[Godbama]

Tim Duncan and Patty Mills were key here, Barry.

Diaw 4th quarter: A++++++++++++++++++

8pts, 3 rebounds, 1 steal in 10 fourth quarter minutes :tu

[sananspursfan21]

8pts, 3 rebounds, 1 steal in 10 fourth quarter minutes :tu

Major momentous shots... including that shoulder shrugger to beat the buzzer

[spursparker9]

Splitter F... Really pathetic. enough said

Duncan A... Hit his FTs, scored consistently, had a huge block on Griffin late in the 4th.

Leonard B+... Didn't stand out much but started the game well in the 1st quarter. Quietly put up 18pts and 9rebs.

Green C+... Missed that last 3 in the corner that could have sealed the game but at least still made a couple of mid-range J. At least is not as bad as in game 4

Parker B... His best game in the series so far. Shots and FTs are still not hitting but at least played hard and get to a couple of 50-50 balls.

Mills A-... Started out on fire in the 1st half which prevent LAC from blowing the game out. Could have played more in the 2nd half but that is Pop's decision

Diaw B... Hit a couple of crucial shots in the 4th quarter. Still couldn't guard Griffin but he will need to find his long range shot. His 3 had been well short on almost every attempt. Tired legs?

Marco B... Probably the only Spur who will never be caught in a shooting slump. Hit a huge 3 from the right wing in the 4th quarter.

Baynes D... Matt Barnes and Griffin destroyed all the confidence that Baynes built from his good plays in the regular season. Was put in the "injured list" but wonder whether its true or Pop losing confidence i him?

Manu B-... Surprisingly hit all his FT. As expected, he will be Turnobili for at least a couple of time during a game but made his biggest play of the game by keeping the ball alive after Danny missed that 2nd FT.

Bonner C+... Hit a 3 and used his fouls on hack a jordan. Remind me of last year series against OKC. Hopefully he can made a few more 3 to draw Jordan and Griffin out of the paint

[cd021]

Major momentous shots... including that shoulder shrugger to beat the buzzer

GIF worthy. I love that high arching fade away jumper. It's kind of like Dirks put more up right.

[milkyway21]

Diaw was terrible the first three quarters, IMO.

Also Leonard was poor in some stretches.

::huh

How about the 1st qtr 9-0 run? Lead by Diaw, Manu, Mills. Cut the double digit lead to 2

[Gervin44Silas13]

Pop A+ Hack a Jordan took the Mo out of the Clips for a moment there in the 3rd

Baynes & Tiago F+ dudes are playing scared
Duncan Mills Bonner Manu A+
Kawhi A- looked like he was off but man 18 pts hes having a hell of a series
Parker A even though he had a rough start he played with grit
Marco B
Diaw C
Green D- .....we need more from him on offense

[Sean Cagney]

What you think of Belli?
He has been solid all series long man.

[cantthinkofanything]

Splitter F... worst player on the floor



Baynes F... Baynes and Splitter both playing like ass is a huge concern. we need at least one of them to shape up


No shit. Have no idea how Baynes got a D.
Don't know how bad Tiago's injury is but I would think he should be able to jump a few inches and dunk a basketball.

[cjw]

Good grades other than Baynes. He fails, flat out.
