Spurs Death Lineup

[alpha_HaZE]

Now that we signed up Rudy Gay, what do you think would be our death lineup, could we counter the warriors?

Dejounte, Simms, KL, Rudy Gay, and Kyle Anderson

I am not convinced yet, but I think if they develop some chemistry would do well is short stretches. Kyle Anderson has been great defending KD, which allows for Dejounte and Rudy to take on the splash brothers and have Kawhi on Draymond Green. I don't see how you can defend them, that's a team with 5 players that can all drive to the basket and convert at a high percentage, they all can shoot too.

Remember when Pop said he wanted to players that can pose multiple threads offensively.

Cheers!

All wingspan team:

Murray - 6'9" 1/2
Green - 6'10"
KL - 7'3"
Gay - 7'3"
Anderson - 7'2" 3/4

[cutewizard]

LMA or whoever replaces him as center (Marc Gasol or Drummond)

Then, Kawhi as point forward, Simmons, Gay and Bertans!!!!!!!!!!

MY ONE CENTER PLUS FOUR WINGS PHILO..........................

Well Played :bobo

[sananspursfan21]

I wonder how well Gay can play small PF.... give Draymond a little extra trouble maybe?

[Mr. Body]

I mean, that's the length they're going for...

All wingspan team:

Murray - 6'9" 1/2
Green - 6'10"
KL - 7'3"
Gay - 7'3"
Anderson - 7'2" 3/4

PG: Anderson - 7'2" 3/4
SG: KL - 7'3"
SF: Gay - 7'3"
PF: Aldridge - 7'6"
C: Gasol - 7'4"

Whether that works remains to be seen.

[Chinook]

PG: Anderson - 7'2" 3/4
SG: KL - 7'3"
SF: Gay - 7'3"
PF: Aldridge - 7'6"
C: Gasol - 7'4"

It won't work.

[cutewizard]

At least he can do this:

[DMC]

Sure, great lineup if they can switch out during the offensive possessions. Otherwise, turnover, turnover, turnover... hey a dunk.. woot! Turnover... bad foul, another bad foul... oh a fight.

[DMC]

Anderson cannot be the starting PG. He's too fucking slow and easy to trap. Murray doesn't have the handles either. It has to be Patty Mills until Parker returns. Someone has to prevent the turnover, and no one does that better than Patty and Tony. Patty shoots every trip and Tony just dribbles the clock out.

[tmtcsc]

Can we please stop including Murray's name in any sort of kick-ass lineup?

Thats the closing unit. The 4th quarter starting unit will consist of some Kyle/Forbes/Blossomgame weird as fuck combo.

dam that was pretty fuckin gay

[DaBears]

If you mean Death to the Spurs, sure:lol

if it wouldn't be for KL in that lineup SPURS would get blasted by 20 a night.. That lineup has pick game written all over w/ it No defense in site..

[DaBears]

Blossomgame is in a tight spot he reminds me of Malik Rose ( 1st few seasons) but with a 3pt shot.

[DAF86]

Manu, Green, Kawhi, Gay, Bertans.

[baseline bum]

If you mean Death to the Spurs, sure:lol

OP is the same dude telling me Aldridge is the best second option the Spurs have had in a long time when the Spurs second options between 1997-98 and 2014-15 have been David Robinson, Tony Parker, Manu Ginobili, and Tim Duncan.

ur an idiot:lmao Kyle MOLASSES Anderson guard k.d... Worst player in a spurs uniform imo get off his nuts they need to drop that kid

[SURGE]

Murray Simmons Kawhi Gay Aldridge

[ceperez]

Murray Simmons Kawhi Gay Aldridge

Murray and Simmons can't shoot from outside. :-(

Perhaps White Green Kawhi Bertans Gay maybe be more formidable.

[DPG21920]

Simmons / Danny / Kawhi / Gay / LMA

[TheGreatYacht]

Parker, Simmons, Leonard, Gay, Aldridge

[Arcadian]

Kyle Anderson will never appear in anything that would be referred to as a "death lineup."

[rasuo214]

Anderson is too small to play the 5. He'd need to bulk up quite a bit and hope not to lose any more of that precious speed.

My Friend, I meant since we won it all in 2014, cheers :)

Like you pointed out, since we had Lamarcus pretty much,

What I am saying is that we used to have two of our big three 2/3 at their primes since ever, and now it's been one (Kawhi) out of three, or 1/3. If you count Kawhi, LMA, and Tony as your big-3 of this era.

Listen, Lamarcus game does not translate very well in today's NBA. It has been stated elsewhere that post-ups are not the most efficient way to score. Do you think a 2014-post Timmy would have won us a game vs the Warriors? Hhmmm I am not sure to be honest.

In 2014, TD's post up game against the Thunder and the Heat helped the Spurs win a ring. If they put guards on a big it would be stupid to not post up. The reason small ball works is you put more of your skilled players on the floor at the same time but the difficulty has always been defense/rebounding.

At the end of the day you have to play to your stengths and the Warriors have the best small ball lineup in basketball. You're not going to beat them that way because you don't have a better small ball lineup. You might have 1 or 2 players that are better small ball players but that's probably not enough. If you have skilled bigs that can post you have to use that as an advantage.

I hope y'all are ready to see Parker/Green/Kawhi/GayLMA/Pau starting Game 1/Round 1 of the playoffs

Separate Gay and LMA and kick Pau out, and that's the highest-ceiling lineup for the Spurs.

[DPG21920]

Exactly. If Parker is actually decently healthy (which I think is no chance) and can play at even the level he did last year in the playoffs?

[spurs10]

:toast Yes..TP/Green/Kawhi/Gay/LMA

[SAGirl]

Kawhi was out of commission when the season ended.
Tony was out of commission when the season ended.
Gay had a season ending Achilles tear.
David Lee couldn't finish the season because of a knee injury. (I know he opted out.)
Murray is on "limited minutes"?


We could easily field a Dead Lineup.

:lol

[Seventyniner]

I could say the same for Simmons.

[kaji157]

Parker Manu Anderson Gasol Anthony (joel) is he lineup of death

[tmtcsc]

I could say the same for Simmons.

You may be right. He played well in the playoffs but people seem to forget he was just "ok" for most of the year. A little too wild and reckless with the ball and hasn't developed his outside shot either.

[tmtcsc]

I hope y'all are ready to see Parker/Green/Kawhi/GayLMA/Pau starting Game 1/Round 1 of the playoffs

Jabari Young: In gaging the Rudy Gay signing around the #NBA …one thing was interesting. The possibility of Kawhi starting the season at PG. #Spurs 14 hours ago – via Twitter JabariJYoung
I mean can you imagine this?
Spurs have 5 PGs in the team or combo guards, or whatever we want to call it. 2 drafted most recently in B2B seasons, plus their most significant signing so far in terms of pricing is Patty... all of this bc they wanted to play Kawhi as PG all along.

Jabari is really... I don't have words to describe him...

[cutewizard]

I have an idea......counter the warriors death line up........

With the beyond death line up, along these ideal lines......

Olajuwon, or Duncan, or Robinson, or Shaq or Wilt at center
Plus four all galaxy pressure defenders,
Jordan, Pippen, Kobe and Kawhi!!!!

Something like tha5, thats the formula.

[cutewizard]

Worriers would be likely to even snatch one game, tbh

[venitian navigator]

Leonard - Green -Simmons - Gay - Bertans -

[cutewizard]

Leonard - Green -Simmons - Gay - Bertans -


Who will handle the ball?

[cutewizard]

Anthony Davis at center, or Cousins..........

KAWHI, GAY, ANDERSON AND KYRIE OR THOMPSON

[venitian navigator]

simmons-leonard

[outmap]

LMA at C
Gay at 4
Leonard and Green in the wings
Manu at PG

[illusioNtEk]

The league has moved away from going big so 3s won't be an issue. We can run and slash and gun during majority of 1stQ. Then bring Patty and Green to nail those 3s.

Having many slashers to kick the ball out is something that can maybe demoralize a team such as GS.
