Oh damn we posted at the exact same time :lol

[BatManu20]

Spurs need to right the ship against a Bucks team that is starting to improve slowly. With a tough back to back in Memphis tomorrow hopefully the Spurs can blow the game open early and rest some starters for tomorrow.

[BatManu20]

This is also the first game of a b2b for us so hopefully we blow them out and can rest our guys for Memphis tomorrow.

[spursistan]

Hopefully we put this to bed by the 3rd Q..we are going to need Timmy in Memphis..I would restrict Manu to 10-15 mins and give Simmons a lot of burn at home if Pop is not planning on resting the former..

Not even excited. Hopefully we'll beat at least a few good teams this season.

[RD2191]

Lol @ amused's thread.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

uh amused not allowed to start game threads

I was given a handwritten letter by timvp explicitly stating that I should be starting one game thread at least every other week and all future Game 7 threads up until my death in which case an apprentice shall take over.

[SnakeBoy]

With an impressive win tonight the Spurs can stop being fools gold and get back to being the team that GSW has no chance against...on ST.

Sounds like Greek freak's first career 20-20 night to me.

You can search for Spurs releated tweets of course,but personally I follow a few guys like those from 48moh,Project Spurs and PTR,the guys from the SAexpress,Jabari Young etc.

[TheDoctor]

Over/Under G. Monroe finishing with 17.5rebs?

[Dex]

Over/Under G. Monroe grabbing 17.5rebs?

I'll take the under. Spurs will slow the pace, and have been very effective on the glass (third in the league on Rebound Rate per Hollinger). As long as he doesn't go hog-wild on offensive rebounds, I think they'll be able to keep him off the boards.

[ceperez]

Greek Freak's length will be a problem for KL.

[Silver&Black]

No it won't.

[TD 21]

People are missing the point with the offense. The efficiency is fine, because they're still a good overall shooting team and have a good assist rate vs a decent turnover one. The explosiveness is gone, because of the lack of volume three-point shooting and slower pace, which obviously leads to less possessions.

Hopefully Pop doesn't overreact to Antetokounmpo at PF. Whoever he defends, between Duncan, Aldridge and Diaw, should be able to bully him in the post and draw double teams. Beyond that, this team isn't built for all small ball games. It limits the minutes of some of their better players, further exposes their lack of wing depth and forces Leonard to play too many minutes.

He might just sit Manu against Memphis, which is normally a more physical team... we'll see

This game worries me as much as the Chicago game. Monroe generally gives the Spurs fits and that's on top of OJ Mayo and Jerryd Bayless. This has the potential to be a blowout loss.

In San Antonio, with the Spurs coming off a loss? I doubt that.

Anderson's reluctance to shoot is killing this team.

ugh Kyle is gonna hear it fromPop

He Is not a good shooter. But yeah... It's not good

Pop benching KA again after that missed assignment?

[Rob123]

Why the fuck do they play this guy Anderson??? Terrible on d and can't score. Am I going crazy the dude freaking sucks.

Anderson needs to do that more.

KA!

And 1 for Slowmo

KA!!!

[FaM0us Skins]

KA!

[SAGirl]

I think Pop doesn't want him to force anything. His lack of closing out shooters will get him benched though.

[Ron Swanson]

Simmons in

[SAGirl]

Simmons sighting!

[Ron Swanson]

Damn, Bobo

[ElNono]

well, we scored allright..

[Robz4000]

Bench continuing to look shitty...

[TheDoctor]

That play was drawed for Simmons. Boris with the lazy pass.

[loveforthegame]

I think Pop doesn't want him to force anything. His lack of closing out shooters will get him benched though.

I can understand that to an extent. He's had so many open looks that he passes up as time is winding down to force another player into a rushed/bad shots. It's frustrating.

[SAGirl]

But not sure what 10 secs were going to do for him.

[Fireball]

ok .. .that last subbing of Anderson/Simmons I did not understand at all ...

[weeks]

sloppiest seven point lead in history. ugly final minutes of that quarter

[urunobili]

Good start

POP taking care of this quickly.

[Fireball]

well, we scored allright..

not 30 ... but still better than most times this season

[Nathan89]

We need more players that can get to the rim. That's the only way to maximize LMA.

[ElNono]

gotta rebound better there

[ace3g]

manu dunk!!!

Manu!!

Vaughn & Parker? Are the Bucks the '03 Spurs? (May have been said already, just got here).

That Manu dunk though :cry

[SAGirl]

I have to admit the coaching of Kyle, Simmons and Lamarcus is the most interesting for me this season. I love coaching aspects.

[loveforthegame]

Anderson got the message I think.

vintage Manu ... dunk ... three ... foul

hmmm... this lineup
