Game Thread: Spurs vs Pistons -- Wed. (3/2) - 7:00PM CST (3:00AM Riga Time)

[BatManu20]

We're back! After 3 days off and a 3-week RRT, we're back in SA tonight to take on a 31-29 Pistons team that have won 4 in a row, including wins at Cleveland and against Toronto. No Manu again, but Bonner is expected back tonight. Glad to be home. Let's get it.

Great on ya Batmanu! Time to get back at it and protect our house! BillMc you are up next! You guys keep this up and the Dubs won't be able to rest. The Spurs will be like that monster in the movie, "It Follows" or better yet like a Terminator mechanically and endlessly stalking it's prey.

Green needs to do his job against KCP this time around. Also, LMA can't let Morris go off on him. The Pistons are playing a little smaller than they were last time, so hopefully the Spurs can take advantage on the boards.

Boban has played so little though.
For single seasons; played in the NBA/BAA; in the regular season; in 2015-16; in rookie season; sorted by descending Win Shares.
IOW a counting stat that greatly discounts Marjanovic because he played so little though.

1. Towns 5.9
2. Jokic 4.5 (Jokic is the Serbian National Team backup center)
3. Porzingis 3.8
4. Cauley-Stein 2.7
5. Turner 2.4
6. Marjanovic 2.3

T8. Nance, Okafor, Simmons, Winslow 1.6

Wonder if we get our first taste of Miller Time tonight.

Probably will depend on if there is garbage time or not...

[Dex]

Boban has played so little though.

Probably why is PER is so high...small sample size and what little time he has played is against other team's garbage lineups for the most part.

:bobo Cheers man. Fell asleep, just missed the first quarter. What is the story of the game? Miller play?

Miller not in yet...mostly poor defense. Offense okay - mostly nothing spectacular either way except that Drummond went out with 2 fouls with more than 8 minutes left in the quarter and we didn't find a way to capitalize on it.

[BanditHiro]

and here comes the pistons run that wins them the game.

Mills seriously can't go a quarter without getting crossed up and broken

[EVAY]

I am continually amazed at how slow the U-verse feed is from what you all are describing. You all see at least a possession ahead of me.

Patty/KA two more long twos early in the shot clock. A shot they can take just about any time. Why.

Failed entry to really take advantage of mismatch Blake/KA. It's a little bit bailing Blake out taking a munch of jumpers over him, but, a couple went in, so, yeah. Let's just make sure they're from closer rather than farther.

I noticed that too, especially on Diaw's and West's recent misses...Detroit had done a good job of keeping our midrange shooters just slightly off their sweet spot and the shots didn't fall.
