Shut the fuck up, retard. Numbers are an unbiased representation of what happens on the court. The opinions of biased fans aren't.
Don't respond to thegreatshit tbh. If enough people ignore him he'll eventually just go away.

[Fireball]

the rest also cost Manu some rhythm ...

[spursistan]

These boneheadeded decisions by Manu at end of Qs are frustrating..

[sasaint]

Timmy with 18 rebounds. :wow

Totally stealth!

[SAGirl]

A lot of helter skelter TO to finish that quarter. I hope Pop still plays the other guys a few minutes.

[Silver&Black]

:worthy: Timmy the GAWD
:worthy: 18 rebounds

What is up with the coaches and now FSSW trying so hard to start this myth that Porker is a good defender? :lol
Jeff Teague 2-10

He didn't respond to me. Get rid of that cube moniter and read, puss

[urunobili]

Lol Pop with the wrath at Manu. Deserved TBH

[EVAY]

Through three quarrters

LMA is 6 of 15

KL is 6 of 11

TP is 5 of 9

Duncan has a double double.

This is a great team.

[SAGirl]

Timmy with 18 rebounds. :wow


Totally stealth!

I hadn't even noticed. wow.
:worthy:

[SpursFan86]

Tim Drummond with 18 boards in just 28 minutes :tu

[ElNono]

Manu giveth, Manu taketh away

[ducks]

Can Duncan get 20?

[SAGirl]

Wow Pop experiment mode.

[From Downtown]

Good to see Manu still getting to the rim

[SAGirl]

Super small lineup experiment alert.

[ElNono]

I'd like Pop to give McCallum some burn in games like this.... he's going to be needed against certain teams

[sasaint]

Tbh, we will win 99/100 if we shoot and play D like this.

[TXstbobcat]

Mills!!!!!!

[steeledl]

Kyle Anderson with a rare make.

vintage Manu :wow

[SAGirl]

Bad start for sure.

[NASpurs]

Manu dunked... pulled something and out until May

[DAF86]

Manu dunk :wow:

[ajh18]

Manu please don't dunk...

[From Downtown]

HE DUNKED :wow

Super small lineup experiment alert.

This line up played the final 3 seconds of the third quarter last night.

[r0drig0lac]

KA... Spurs looking amazing

[EVAY]

I'd like Pop to give McCallum some burn in games like this.... he's going to be needed against certain teams

I don't think Ray is suited up tonight.

I don't disagree with you...I just don't think Pop expected this game to be this lopsided.

[SAGirl]

Manu making us like fools lol

[weeks]

lol no way manu has the legs for that three after dunking it

[FkLA]

Stop it.
You are a moron.

Dont make it worse.

Must just be coincidence that guys like Kawhi, TD, Draymond, etc are near the top for DRPM. Or that guys like Neal, Kobe, Crawford, etc are near the bottom.

Retard.

[ElNono]

Manu making us like fools lol

since 2003, tbh

He could really be helpful with his drives. Danny drives have been a disaster.

[HI-FI]

LDN = Long Dick Nigga

[urunobili]

Lol Pop making Green be the PG so that he improves his handles in garbage time. Simmons may stick with this team if he is patient.

I know what you mean, but he looks to pass and hesitates a bit. Its tough for a guy that tall regardless.

Boban play soft tbh

[Nathan89]

Boban is trash.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Boban has to look where he's running lol. He ran down fast but he actually screened a Spur cuz he ran right into him.

[DAF86]

LDN = Long Dick Nigga

You fuck, I wanted to hear what he thought D and N standed for. :cry:

[Kawhitstorm]

It's is just better to throw up the ball & let Boban get the offensive rebound rather than posting him up

[Silver&Black]

we allowed 80+... time to bump Gutless Worms

Should we start tanking yet?

[NASpurs]

You fuck, I wanted to hear what he thought D and N standed for. :cry:

I'm guessing he thought the "DN" were for Danny :lol

Yeah it doesn't make sense but that's what I think.

[SAGirl]

Transition D a problem. Something to look at in film

[beirmeistr]

Do you know what D and N stand for?

oops, sorry, I saw a d and an n. no, I don't know.

[Kawhitstorm]

Boban has to look where he's running lol. He ran down fast but he actually screened a Spur cuz he ran right into him.

They are too small for him, it's like stepping on ants:lol

Boban in all those sequences was away from the basket and Kyle "allegedly" defending the rim. Huge mistake by Boban.

I do think Pop still looks at this garbage time, because these guys are still getting "trained" basically.

[DAF86]

Boban isn't a post up player. He works well on the pick and roll. Just have him set a screen, roll to the basket and just lob it up for him. He will get it and finish neat and softly.

Boban in all those sequences was away from the basket and Kyle "allegedly" defending the rim. Huge mistake by Boban.

A Simmons/Boban PnR would be a decent garbage time offense.

[TheDoctor]

Denver scored only 5 points in the 3rd vs Mavs. Ended losing 92-81

[SAGirl]

Nobody played 30 minutes. Great 2-game start to this stretch of 7 games!

Absolutely. This was a fun little game. Our team made Atlanta look like trash quite honestly.
Our first unit is gelling and our defense with Kawhi is just on another level.

The second unit, as much chemistry as they have and as explosive as they can be, was helter skelter with Manu today in yin/yang mode.

I am not sold on Diaw/West combo. When I see them together our team defense suffers. Our second unit had trouble defending the paint, and I think its the PnR D with Patty/West bc I have seen it other games too. It just triggers a lot of help, which opens up threes in the corner. It might look like someone overhelped or something like that, but the problem started at the point of attack. It might seem like Kyle (or Manu, or Danny, whoever) for example left a guy open at the 3 point line, but he was helping on the disaster that was the paint defense.

Obviously, Atlanta has Shcrooder in the bench, so Patty vs. Schrooder was going to be trouble.

The TO in the second unit also don't help defensively, so it was tight there.

I am thinking we are bound to see more of Simmons. He's played too well in limited minutes to not continue to get opportunities to improve, even at Anderson's expense.

Pop should try some units without Manu too and see Simmons in there. You can't completely edge Manu out bc he needs his rhythm, and I don't think you can completely edge Anderson either, for the same reason, and Pop really likes him in small ball at this point, but I think Simmons should get more chances.

You know what?

We are so excited about Simmons, we completely forgot Ray didn't get any minutes here. :wow

[TheDoctor]

Sorry for the anal raping, Bud!

Pop knew it and gave him Don Corleone's blessings afterwards.

[sasaint]

I am cautiously optimistic about Simmons. I really do not think he gets minutes at Kyle's expense. They are different tools for different applications. And as you pointed out last night, they seem to work well together, kind of boosting each other's comfort level. I like seeing those two with Kawhi.

[sasaint]

It's is just better to throw up the ball & let Boban get the offensive rebound rather than posting him up
Yeah, kind of like Fred Flintstone playing fetch with Dino!

[Hoops Czar]

Concluding that someone with a negative DRPM and who ranks near the bottom for all PGs is a bad defender is being biased?

Yall sound like Kobefans now. Stats don't tell the whole story, they don't account for the Kobe sneer or the Rique tongue. :madrun

SSS, tbh.. Strangely enough, Patty Mills who's virtually a trainwreck on defense is only -.12 which would rank him 8th in the league among pgs ahead of the likes of Curry, Bledsoe, Bradley, Cojo, Westbrook and CP3. So much for DRPM having any validity at all.

[SAGirl]

I am cautiously optimistic about Simmons. I really do not think he gets minutes at Kyle's expense. They are different tools for different applications. And as you pointed out last night, they seem to work well together, kind of boosting each other's comfort level. I like seeing those two with Kawhi.

I agree on this. Kyle and Simmons are not the same player, don't have the same tools and don't even play the same position.
Pop has Kyle as 3/4 hybrid.
Simmons is a 2/3 hybrid, but very strongly inclined to the 2.
And they do have a lot of chemistry together.

At this stage I see Pop giving Kyle chances because he's come through some tight games, and has been very good in small ball situations with Kawhi, allowing Kawhi to stay as a 3, therefore preserving some of their sets, and his perimeter defense. You can't completely bench Kyle when he's starting to show some confidence, and minutes for Kyle are few and far between as it is.

Manu playing the 28 minutes just should not happen at this point. I think between Manu and Danny, some minutes could go to Simmons.

Also Mills could loose some minutes specially when Pop uses Tony/Patty lineups, you could just fit Simmons in there.

... and here comes the elephant in the room....
Pop not familiar with Simmons enough to go to him at times. It would be a shame.

Saw in another thread that Becky was commanding a huddle in that 4th Q. Maybe Becky will influence him.

[sasaint]

Of TD's 18 bards, 5 were offensive. Of LMA's 6, 3 were offensive. For the Spurs that is feasting at the offensive rim.

[SquawkinHawkBigCock]

Spurs have our number it seems. Not too mad though. Everyone knew LMA and TD were gonna kill us on the boards. We just couldn't hit enough 3's to make up for it.

[sasaint]

Simmons seems to be projected as a hybrid 1-2-3, a la Manu, Kyle really a 3-4, all depending on small/large ball and Opponent lineup considerations.

[ducks]

Hope splitter plays them in 2 weeks

^^ Not surprising that he said that, it was probably Green's best defensive game of the season IMO, his ball denial and rotations were great..

Despite OReb not being a priority for the Spurs ... from the start of the LMA signing I hoped we could improve a little there ... LMA and Robin Lopez were great in that regard in Portland

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

Danny destroyed Korver, it was great fun to watch.

[ceperez]

^^ Not surprising that he said that, it was probably Green's best defensive game of the season IMO, his ball denial and rotations were great..

Green can get away with poor shooting because he plays stellar defense and takes high efficiency shots. LMA takes the worse shot in basketball, can't justify the poor percentages and doesn't play lock down defense. Not saying that he's that bad, he's just overpaid.

I am cautiously optimistic about Simmons. I really do not think he gets minutes at Kyle's expense.

You're right. Pop can't throw away games letting these guys cut their teeth, so even though they play different positions, they have to share non-garbage game minutes. Hopefully the starters have turned a corner and build some decent leads enough to get one or both of them quality minutes. This could be the back up swingman lineup for a long time after Manu's departure.

^^ Not surprising that he said that, it was probably Green's best defensive game of the season IMO, his ball denial and rotations were great..
And Parker's been very good of late. If this is a new mindset with him this team will be a force.
