Don't be fooled by those baskets Kyle made in the end, he pissed away three possessions when we could have cut the lead to under 6 and then played horrific defense at the other end that led to wide open corner threes by the Clips. They can have their growing pains...but not on a 45-9 team.

I missed most of this game. have to gauge your opinion on TD. I am starting to get concerned.

I mean if the excuse was rust in the Miami game, I don't know how having another week off was going to improve that. Whole team looked rusty today, so I'd say that it's a factor. If he still looks out of sorts next week, it's a bigger issue.


He gave us pretty much the same Anderson did... LMA 3-12, TD 1-6 and Danny 2-9 was a bigger problem, tbh...

Nah, Simmons was toxic waste tonight. Pretty much any time he touched the ball, some awful would happen. He couldn't guard anybody. I actually think the stats were WAY too kind to him. He should have had a couple more TOs, like the one where he missed the Parker pass that hit him in the hands. Worst Spur by far tonight. In fact, Pop pretty much lost the game when he kept putting Simmons in early. Anderson was the much better player. He was the only guy who gave Paul trouble when guarding him. I wished he had hit some more of his inside looks, but the dude was the best Spur tonight.

Honestly, more Anderson and West and less Simmons and Diaw would have been huge. There was definitely a rust and effort issue tonight, but that rotation change would have helped a ton.

Tbh, I don't think we can seriously contend until we get a different backcourt - which I do not see happening until 2017. So-called Spurs loyalty is a real double-edged sword, and Pop's unconditional commitment to Tony is something that Spurs fans just have to take for granted. It ain't gonna change even if it costs us the next few years.

I would say that West was our best player, by far. But for SAGirl I would say Anderson was probably our second best player. Simmons was a turnover machine, and he made consistently poor decisions. On defense he was worse than usual, making some rookie mistakes. But Patty was just as rookie-ish. I share some posters' concerns about Tim. Actually I have been very worried since the last Lakers game. Maybe this was one poor game after a long layoff without our best player... maybe.

Might be worth revisiting the Horford idea in the off-season, which has become more practical with the higher-than-expected cap boost.

I share the same concern as you with our backcourt and have expressed that elsewhere (which I suspect has made me a target for some heat from some trolls).

TD is a concern bc father time is catching on, and he hasn't had a good game in a long time. We need him too. He could be out of rhythm but it could be more than that.

I missed LMA entirely, but he went on a tear when playing those games without TD and I wonder if the spacing was the issue or what?

He doesn't have to play the 4 to help rebounding. That's what Kawhi always does even though he doesn't play the 4 either, especially when you have Tim having to box out guys like DeAndre. He might not be athletic but he's long and he's not generally a poor rebounder. And, yeah, we definitely disagree about starting.

If his contract would be up at the end of this season, I'm not sure the Spurs would splurge the $3m on him, tbh... I was just thinking that. He's going to be locked behind Kawhi as long as he's here, but then the Spurs also have to consider that Kawhi might be a bit fragile, and perhaps vet minimum guy might be better. Then again, he's probably going to be around for another two seasons, so if he improves and accepts the fact that he'll be in Kawhi's shadow, there might be a place for him in the team.

Pop is an egotistical prick but he run plays for anderson in the post so the team can play with a more familiar offensive routine. Not sure why fans are having trouble understanding this. Thats the reason why Kyle gets post touches when Kawhi is out.

If you're late to the punch, the offense kinda revolves around Leonard now. That's how the spurs wants to play..unless of course you are chinook, and demand this kind of basketball to get kawhi waiting in the corner.

This is what cute posters like Chinook and midnightpulp dont understand. You always build around your best player that can deliver.

The spurs lost too because it was evident they were not comfortable in the offense. If they had time to adjust, they would have won. They are just kinda use to kawhi now making basket.

Kinda thew off their rhytem. Killed Aldridge spacing and forced other players to play offensive roles they are not used to.

Its also pretty evident that Kawhi is becoming as valuable as Tim 2003-2007, the only issue is that Tim wasnt so fragile.

If his contract would be up at the end of this season, I'm not sure the Spurs would splurge the $3m on him, tbh... I was just thinking that. He's going to be locked behind Kawhi as long as he's here, but then the Spurs also have to consider that Kawhi might be a bit fragile, and perhaps vet minimum guy might be better. Then again, he's probably going to be around for another two seasons, so if he improves and accepts the fact that he'll be in Kawhi's shadow, there might be a place for him in the team.

I don't think he will be in Kawhi's shadow, bc that is not a Spursy theme TBH. Playing behind Kawhi in minutes is maybe what you meant... but he's versatile and can give you minutes at both forward spots. In due time, who knows, the league is more positionless than ever. Multiple teams have several forwards of kawhi's and his size playing together and mixing and matching with the bench. If Spurs wanted to keep him they can work him in for sure. If what you mean is playing time that can become a factor, but I see a CoJo scenario for him. Rookie scale deals are so cheap that you are not going to get another young player with his upside in any other way. You might get a Rasual Butler, who yes, he has looked good, but he was washed up by this time last season bc the Wizards overplayed him and he didn't have anything left after the all star break.

That actually reminds me of how CoJo provided a facsimile of Tony, however lacking, just so the SL could keep their sets etc makes perfect sense. It did mean that when CoJo was playing, other guys in that SL needed to increase their output bc CoJo wasn't going to produce everything that Tony did, he just allowed them to keep a semblance of their sets and familiarity.

That is why I like you despite not seeing eye to eye. True Spur fan. Still wants us to win... actually gives heat to some guys who pissed this game out.. but really bc you wanted us to get this win even shorthanded.

Spacing is still an issue on iso plays. That is what I'm saying. And yes, I think LMA just wet the bed. But there may be something to him not playing as well with a center next to him.
This Chinook is to be on a season watch for the rest of the season.. more than spacing... I have rewatched games against the Pelicans and Magic. Without TD, the guys move faster on offense... it allows Lamarcus to grab position early, before defenses are fully set, sometimes he even gets position. How many times did we see him having to back down A.Davis for example, when he was playing next to Anderson at the 4, rarely if ever? The pace at which the team plays next to TD, reduces opportunities for Lamarcus to get relatively easy baskets where he just seals his man or even surprises him out of position while guarding him. I mean I missed all of TD minutes, which is why I have inquired so much about him.. but LMA was on a tear playing against much better forwards while not next to TD bc the team played faster. Once you get a few easy baskets you get in a rythm. Seems like he or others did not get a rythm. I could be completely wrong on this, so I will just shelve it in the list of things to watch while TD is playing.

The fact Kawhi wasn't playing probably aggravated this bc Kawhi pushes the tempo by himself often, and gets an opportunity for himself, but also sometimes his effort benefits others, and LMA is one who scores some O putbacks or gets easy baskets too out of this. Its possible the way he was playing previously was completely thrown off.

I thought Kyle did a good job of boxing out much bigger opponents on several occasions in the 4th quarter and pulled down a couple of tough rebounds.
The boxing out part gets overlooked by the casual fan... A guard may grab a board, but if Kyle or some other foward wasn't boxing out that would not have been possible. Thanks for pointing this out.

It also has to do with the fact he can't beat SFs down the floor nor beat them off the dribble & Moute/Draymond aren't mediocre post defenders like Davis/Vuc. Playing center will best serve him on offense rather than trying to bully defensively competent undersized PFs.:lol

Not really, they're missing Griffin. They play the Dubs well, aren't scared of them and know they gave away both games against them earlier in the season.

Clippers still won't beat the Warriors. And they will have to face them first in the playoffs. Good luck with that.

If he was being guarded by a SF I wonder if Pop really should not have limited the TD/LMA pairing.

He also scored with ease against the Rockets that game that TD was out bc of his knee and KA ended up starting and playing a good 18-19 minutes bc Rockets were using Ariza at the 4.... LMA took it to D.Howard... TBH you can keep smiling about this, but I do think the pace matters a lot.

Therein lies the conundrum...if he does get better in the next two seasons, he might become too expensive for a low-minute backup SF, which is what I feel the Spurs will need as long as Kawhi is around. That's what happened with Cojo, we couldn't afford him for what we needed him to be (third string PG).

Again, Dwert is done. Bogut made him his bitch by swatting him 5 times at the rim. DeAndre is the 2nd leading rebounder in the league for a reason.

Except they haven't had their entire starting 5 in any of those losses:
-Worriers: Tim out
-Cavs: Tim out
-Cripples: Kawhi/Manu out

Yeah, the Cripples don't have Blake but they have the best pure point god in the league who can squeeze ever ounce of talent from his teammates & Blake has been a negative on defense this season. His best asset is passing & finishing PnRs but Cp3/DeAndre do that better than him.

Cojo has indeed shined for the Raptors and we were lucky to have him, so I see your point. The situation might ultimately be the same, but probably not because the team is changing very soon, unlike what happened with Cojo. Right now he's been made redundant not by Kawhi but by Boris. Although he's a different player from Boris he's very much playmaking forward and a glue guy like Boris is and we are soon, very soon going to need that bc our best passing forwards are all old.
