2017 Head of the Snake would have won us the game....

[apalisoc_9]

No way would the ball have been on Greens hands trying to go one on one. Mills and Ginobili were just disasters from the 5 minute mark. They had one cute three pointer,

But HOTS would have had a much calmer appraoch. Way too erratic from Mills-Ginobilli-Green.

[BillMc]

I agree. If Parker plays, Brun does not win, win,

[Splits]

Ewww.

I agree with OP.

I feel dirty.

[TheGreatYacht]

HOTS was huge against Houston too when facing adversity tbh..

He can't do what he used to do anymore, but he can still torch Lillard :lol Harlem can confirm

[SAGirl]

I miss him.
I miss Dijon too in his stead if he's injured.
Tony when healthy was playing well. It's quite a bit alarming he's been injured so long.
I don't trust him to stay healthy if the Spurs make a deep playoff run. He's just been very brittle unfortunately.

[apalisoc_9]

Ginobili and Mills tried to be too cute.

I still cant figure out what the playcall was in the 2 minute mark. Ginobili just passed the ball to Green...looks like the ball was supposed to go to Leonard but he refused to pass.

Fine, if he feels like its too risky.

But its not fine if you're going to replace Leonard with Green. Ginobili should have demanded the ball and Green should have never placed the ball on the floor. Embarrrasing.

[dabom]

Dude is a injured cancer. Same production as Forbes.

[Mikeanaro]

No, he would suck too.

[apalisoc_9]

HOTS usually is better at managing slower situations. Part of the reason why he still gets minutes.

[MI21]

HOTS would of played well against them. Has always torched Lillard, Blazers have no rim protection etc

[$pursDynasty]

Hell yes he would have.

Except Tony is not usually on the floor after the 5 minute mark anymore.

Yep. Patty is a gear changer, which is why I find it nonsensical when people think he's a starter. His game is tailor-made for the bench. When Patty starts, we lose that ability to shift, something the Helmet crew (now reduced to Dabom and Gambit) doesn't understand.

Kinda funny we all new porker can't last a whole season and yet you love the turd option every year. :lmao

Pre-Nurkic.
This guy is a total upgrade over that scrub Plumblee.

Portland absolutely raped Denver in that deal. Some GMs have that knack. Others...

Still on this.

I'm okay with Murray starting (in theory, but something Pop would never do) and House coming off the bench. Again, my ultimate point is House is better off the bench.

[dabom]

You were just fellati'ing this a week ago. Garbage take. :lmao

[Joseph Kony]

say what you will about Porker, but it's obvious the spurs run more smoothly with him running the point, even if he is trash.

[cd98]

Parker doesn't have the juice to get 20 points whenever he wants like he used to, but he also doesn't turn the ball over and plays within himself (at least he does now). He's an adequate starting point guard if he has a good team defense behind him. Spurs will close out if he gets back in time. Playoffs may be another story, but we have a great regular season team.
