Is Duncan the only guy who can score at the rim for the Spurs?

[playbonner15]

I believe in the reg season the team won in a more convincing fashion by getting to the basket more. But in this series, the Spurs were settling to brick jump shots and 3pointers aside from Timmy.

If this team cant hit 3s the Clips can still win one at SA and end the series at their home.

When's MVParker and The Golden God gonna showup? tbh

[mudyez]

yes

[Kuestmaster]

until Splitter finds his manhood back, yes.

[playbonner15]

Then if Danny doesnt find his shot we fukked.

Welp 5 was great though

Diaw can, a bit. Parker can't because he's hobbled. Splitter too. Kawhi should attack the rim more instead of settling for jumpers, though he's hit a good % of them, but he should be going to the line more. Danny Green should not put the ball on the floor.

Kawhi should post up more and hit those hook shots or draw the double team.

Danny hits those awkward Shy Floaters of his usually but for some reason even those are not going in for him

Golden God is pretty clearly playing injured.

Parker is a step (maybe 2) slow for some reason. he may be injured or may just be getting old, we won't know until later down the road.

We haven't hit 3s for shit most of the series, yet we're still leading 3-2, and already have taken two on their floor.

[Lerojo]

Yep. But Boris can unleash the cream shake every once in a while. Baynes and Splitter are ok if they have space for the lay in, but in a crowd they need to learn how to pump fake more, and stop rushing those frequently blocked two handed "big white dude" dunks that they do.

Against I supreme level shot blocker yes.
Hes very good at switching between using his size & his length
And even then DJ affect quite a bit of shots
Eveyone other than Kawhi plays below the rim which simply gives shot blocker room to smack the fuck outta shots

[couchman]

DJ is just that much of a presence inside, so yes, against him Duncan is the only guy who can consistently get it done at the rim.
We saw similar issues against OKC when they had Ibaka playing well.

If we are fortunate enough to advance we'll have more success at the rim against the Rockets.
