Game Thread: Spurs @ OKC — Sat. (1/12) - 7:00/C 3:00am Riga Time)

[bklynspursfan]

Wasn't even a foul for WB. Just costed his team 3 lol

[Mr. Body]

Westbrook doesn't realize this is a contact sport.

[Xx_SpursNation_xX]

What happened to the crowd in OKC, they sound like the spurs crowd?

[timtonymanu]

Y'all are happy DDR got a tech and cool with a foul called for WB when no one hit him. Spurs fans lol

Who was happy about the tech? He’s playing like shit

[Spurs da champs]

Westbrook man, he's just the gift that keeps on giving.

[RC_Drunkford]

DeRozan sits, immediate run ensues.

[bklynspursfan]

We should be glad Fat Felton isn't playing .

[NASpurs]

:lmao fuck off Nader

[Robz4000]

Fuck these scrubs

[r0drig0lac]

lmao Marco

[timtonymanu]

Smh fuck that Nader scrub

[TimmyBuckets]

These announcers need to stfu.

[timtonymanu]

We should be glad Fat Felton isn't playing .

He might have had a career night tbh

[FaM0us Skins]

Smh

[Mr. Body]

OKC wants this more. Their role-players are making plays.

[bklynspursfan]

Who was happy about the tech? He’s playing like shit

Read some of the comments lol. He's in a funk lately for sure. Sloppy and missing easy shots. But he's better than this

[RD2191]

Lmao fukin fluke shot. Okc scrubs fuck you.

[NASpurs]

Schroder shot that shit like Curry :lol

[RD2191]

Fuck you Schroder. Fucking scrub ass mother fucker.

[RD2191]

Schroder shot that shit like Curry :lol

Right? Wtf was that about?

[Fusternino]

Sick of these announcers. The worst.

[Xx_SpursNation_xX]

schroder looks like a darfur orphan

[Mr. Body]

Best bet is to hope this energy dissipates for the Thunder and keep it close.

[GusT15]

This Schrooder mofo decided to play tonight.We need Westbrook back on the floor.

[TimmyBuckets]

Where is White?

[bklynspursfan]

Now they give Schroeder that weak shit.

[siraulo23]

Derozan sucks, bench this dude the rest of the game :lmao

[Austin_Toros]

schroder looks like a darfur orphan
:lmao

[timtonymanu]

Lol red carpet Forbes

[RD2191]

Getting murdered by Schroder :lmao

[DAF86]

Good thing Pop inserted DeRozan for that last play :rolleyes

[bklynspursfan]

People still think OKC is a bad match up for us? Gotta say, the thing I fear most about them is the refs.

[TimmyBuckets]

Derozan. I fucking hate you this week. The second Decuntsack comes in everything gets fucked.

[SpurPadre]

I have seen Satan and his name is Bryn Fucking Forbes.

[timtonymanu]

Oh well Spurs were playing with house money but of course they blow another lead and a winnable game

[NASpurs]

Only thing that can save the Spurs is DeRozan getting another T

[SPURt]

Lost that quarter by 15. Poop.

[skin27]

They should feed aldridge in the post

[BillMc]

Damn gotta put that quarter behind us

[Spurs da champs]

Oh well Spurs were playing with house money but of course they blow another lead and a winnable game
Its still winnable. OKC just isn't that good, & Paul George is playing mad passive.

[boutons_deux]

-13 in 3rd

[Spurs fever]

Here we go to the 4th. Get ready.

[Kuvai]

Spurs looks so bad with DDR on the court.

I now get it why TOR never reached NBA Finals.

[Nivek_ogre]

Derozan needs to stop dribbling and make a decision with the ball. His iso plays have been garbage

[GusT15]

Schroeder,Schreder,Para Smurf whatever the fuck his name is wouldn't do jack shit if patty and forbes wasn't guarding him.

Why the fuck isn't White out there?

[boutons_deux]

forbes shits on the road

[Xx_SpursNation_xX]

Paul George is overrated for sure. He's about as passive as Deshit.

[Spurs da champs]

:lmao at White in this Pizza hut commercial.

[playbonner15]

Time for the Spurs to make a run on the 4th

[skin27]

Offense sucked in the 3rd

[playbonner15]

:lmao at White in this Pizza hut commercial.
Too bad I'm watching the OKC feed. Should be on youtube

[Borosai]

I just started watching the game. Why has Forbes taken so many shots? I think he's confused about his role. And I see DeRozan is still playing like shit...

[boutons_deux]

where is white?

[bklynspursfan]

Not seeing White on the bench

[timtonymanu]

Thunder announcers :cry

[GusT15]

Nader And Schrooder,an Egyptian and a black German,goodness.

[playbonner15]

Time for Demar DeMVP to showup

[UZER]

Spurs playing in OKC is like the old 90s Spurs playing at UTAH. Just not going to get a call, while they are allowed to play extra physical.

[Xx_SpursNation_xX]

Forbes is getting his shit pushed in by Schroder.

[Spurs da champs]

Dont tell me White is benched the rest of the game because of those turnovers early in the 3rd.

[bklynspursfan]

Oh I see him now

[timtonymanu]

Red Carpet Forbes

[skin27]

And now thunder scrubs can’t miss

[Leetonidas]

Thunder scrubs can't miss

[timtonymanu]

Game over, Thunder bench came to play

[DAF86]

Can't stop anyone.

[skin27]

Lol they attacking the paint

[SPURt]

Cannot get a damn stop

[playbonner15]

Wow OKC cant miss

[RD2191]

DeRozan :lmao

[boutons_deux]

39 pts okc bench

[Spurs da champs]

DDR has to dominate when those lineups are on the court, smh.

[TimmyBuckets]

Shroeder>Derozan
My left nut>Detrashan

Derozan isn't facilitating. No White? No PG. Feed the big man and play through LMA.

[Ragamuffin]

ok. we lost. tonight... derozan big problem Last games

[212094ever]

Thunder scrubs going off against the Spurs basically since the start of the decade smh

[Robz4000]

Just sit LMA and DeRozan and roll with the bench.

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

We aren't beating good teams on the road if DDR can only give us 1 decent quarter

[timtonymanu]

Unless the Spurs can luck into HCA, I really don’t see them passing the first round. They’re too inconsistent on the road and there’s always one or two jackasses (Forbes and DDR today) who bring nothing on either end of the floor.

[bklynspursfan]

Would Donovan put WB in already? We need to make a comeback

[Robz4000]

:lol DeRozan blocked by the rim

[RD2191]

7th seed here we come.

[playbonner15]

WOW HAHAH OKC YOU SO HOT

[Xx_SpursNation_xX]

jejejeje ya'll thought White was good.

[Robz4000]

Unless the Spurs can luck into HCA, I really don’t see them passing the first round. They’re too inconsistent on the road and there’s always one or two jackasses (Forbes and DDR today) who bring nothing on either end of the floor.

Barring a trade for a defensive wing I don't see them winning a series in the playoffs period.

[playbonner15]

:lol DeRozan blocked by the rim
That was Grant

[GusT15]

Will the Wizards do Beal for DeRozan and a 2nd or do we need to add a first?

[Robz4000]

Game.

[BatManu20]

jejejeje ya'll thought White was good.

*plays 5 great games in a row* *has one game below-average*


ST: That player sucks!!!!

[SpurPadre]

The one time they fucking miss, they get a second chance three. Fuck this game...

[playbonner15]

BELI SAVE USSSS

[BatManu20]

Cowboys and Spurs both getting their salads tossed tonight.

[playbonner15]

BIG SPICY MEATBALLS

[Spurs da champs]

Rudy Gay needs to stay healthy if the Spurs want any chance of making noise, because its clear the Spurs dont believe in Lonnie Walker or Ben Moore & we all know PATFO wont make a move anyway.

[KimmyGib]

big boy adams always gets away with over the back

[playbonner15]

Lol westbrook's gonna be their demise

[playbonner15]

Lol westbrook's gonna be their demise
I take that back

[Truth4sale$]

Spurs should go deeper in the bench. The Spurs are just a step too slow, could be tired from the other night.

[bklynspursfan]

Clean block lmao

[playbonner15]

Keep feeding belli

[Leetonidas]

Thunderefs in full effect tonight

[BatManu20]

Damn Westbrook made Ferrari fall on that cross lol

[timtonymanu]

Lol westbrook's gonna be their demise

We have DDR

[bklynspursfan]

Barring a trade for a defensive wing I don't see them winning a series in the playoffs period.

You can't be serious lol

[playbonner15]

nice move aldridge

[Robz4000]

How many food stamps have the refs given the Thunder tonight? Has to be north of 40 at this point.

[playbonner15]

they attacking beli now

[DAF86]

Why are Aldridge and Poeltl on the floor together? Pop just throwing the game away.

[Spurs da champs]

Damn White has been so lackadaisical with the ball tonight.

[BillMc]

Worst game by White in awhile. He'll learn from this.

[DieHardSpursFan1537]

Game over. Yank all the starters and bring in the garbage time players.

[DAF86]

Also, there's no reason to be playing DeRozan so many minutes when he's sucking so hard.

[Robz4000]

You can't be serious lol

This defensive scheme is going to get raped once playoff gameplanning comes into play, and playoff DeRozan is always lurking.

[BlackAndWhite]

Need rudy gay

[skin27]

Spurs lost to Schroder

[ducks]

Need rudy gay

[timtonymanu]

You can't be serious lol

What makes you think this team is playoff ready?

[KimmyGib]

In before Thunderrefs do their thing and balance the freethrow disparity in garbage time

[GusT15]

Why are Aldridge and Poeltl on the floor together? Pop just throwing the game away.

Wait till he throws the game with the Hornets on Monday to Borrego and Parker.

What? He did with Boylen and the Bulls,didn't he?

[marinoman]

The2 big lineup costed us the game. Pau needs to be traded or benched. No more Aldridge/Poeti lineups either!

[DAF86]

Trying to make up a 15 pts deficit on 5 minutes without any three point shooter out there. :lol

[TimmyBuckets]

wtf is wrong with DDR?

[Spurs da champs]

Lmao Poetl is so useless out there.

[playbonner15]

Cant believe every possession is a score for OKC

[skin27]

The2 big lineup costed us the game. Pau needs to be traded or benched. No more Aldridge/Poeti lineups either!


we lost because of derozan

[timtonymanu]

This defensive scheme is going to get raped once playoff gameplanning comes into play, and playoff DeRozan is always lurking.

Yep only Aldridge, White and Jakob are legit good on the defensive end. They are relying on an injury prone Rudy Gay as their 3rd option. So much has to go right for this team to be there. Definitely easier to exploit. Especially when their two stars tend to disappear in big moments.

[bklynspursfan]

This defensive scheme is going to get raped once playoff gameplanning comes into play, and playoff DeRozan is always lurking.

Clippers/Blazers/Kings/Wolves etc... Lot of ?s on who's in, but there are def teams we'll beat. I would even include OKC (depending on HCA)

The defensive scheme will change. And , we're without Rudy, playing our 4th game in 6 nights coming off a double OT game. (no shoot around/practice so they could rest more)

Can't get so caught up with this 1 loss and just assume we can't/won't be anyone. Especially when they've statistically been the best team over the last month or so.

[playbonner15]

Lol OKC just keeps attacking and scoring

[siraulo23]

White turnovers to start the 3rd and Derozan shitting the bed, playing absolutely awful the rest of the 3rd quarter lost them the game, also Aldridge needed more consistent touches this game

[playbonner15]

Haha Pop gives up :lol

[bklynspursfan]

Trying to make up a 15 pts deficit on 5 minutes without any three point shooter out there. :lol

Davis is out there... And they pulled the starters lol.

[bklynspursfan]

Also, OKC is on a 3 game losing streak playing at home. People miss the big picture so much here.

[playbonner15]

Memphis and OKC stopping their losing streaks when playing the Spurs :lol

[boutons_deux]

Spurs lost to Schroder

spurs lost to 50 pts from okc bench

[playbonner15]

WELP nope Spurs just missing everythig

[KimmyGib]

It's like Demar completely exhausted himself in the Raps game and now he's running on empty.

[Robz4000]

Clippers/Blazers/Kings/Wolves etc... Lot of ?s on who's in, but there are def teams we'll beat. I would even include OKC (depending on HCA)

:lol thinking this is over this game. I've been calling this new defense gimmicky for weeks. It works well in the regular season and helps well enough to get this team into the postseason, but that's it.

[playbonner15]

Q-Pon the PG??? Pop trolling now

[KimmyGib]

Game grade: Cunningham A+.

[timtonymanu]

Also, OKC is on a 3 game losing streak playing at home. People miss the big picture so much here.

I just don’t agree. I don’t see this system the Spurs have being sustainable in the playoffs but I guess we will find out when it’s that time.

[cjw]

wtf is wrong with DDR?

[bklynspursfan]

:lol thinking this is over this game. I've been calling this new defense gimmicky for weeks. It works well in the regular season and helps well enough to get this team into the postseason, but that's it.

I didn't see you talking like this when they were playing well that's all.

And again, what makes you think they will defend how they are now in the playoffs? Not all teams are the same.

[Uriel]

I thought the team played well until the third quarter, when they just ran out of gas.

[Robz4000]

Also, it's pretty clear the top teams in the West at this point are GS/Den/OKC/HOU. Spurs will end up playing one of them in the first round imo.

[BillMc]

Well, at least I get more work done when we lose.

[BlackAndWhite]

What can the spurs do this season to improve besides trading for a player?

[bklynspursfan]

I just don’t agree. I don’t see this system the Spurs have being sustainable in the playoffs but I guess we will find out when it’s that time.

I mean it won't get them to the finals. But I think depending on how things play out, they could win a series , maaaybe 2 depending on the bracket.

Getting HCA is obviously important, and they're right there. And, they have one of the easier SOS's to close the season. They've beaten quality opponents. Theyre in good shape

[Robz4000]

I didn't see you talking like this when they were playing well that's all.

And again, what makes you think they will defend how they are now in the playoffs? Not all teams are the same.

They don't have the personnel to defend with a better scheme. A switching zone defense is literally the best they can do.

[SpurPadre]

This team is allergic to playing outside of San Antonio, tbh. The rodep road trip will be an unmitigated disaster.

[marinoman]

No more 2 big lineups, no more pau, healthy Rudy
What can the spurs do this season to improve besides trading for a player?

[bklynspursfan]

Also, it's pretty clear the top teams in the West at this point are GS/Den/OKC/HOU. Spurs will end up playing one of them in the first round imo.

I don't think that's clear at all, aside from GS.. OKC has the toughest remaining schedule, and Denver's isn't exactly easy. Plus, CP3 will come back, who knows how that impact what Haren is doing

1083786799363821568

[ducks]

What makes you think this team is playoff ready?

Wins against playoff teams

[RD2191]

Those early season losses might be too much to overcome. Have played really well lately yet haven't made up any ground. Still at the 7th seed.

[bklynspursfan]

They don't have the personnel to defend with a better scheme. A switching zone defense is literally the best they can do.

There's still half a season left to try new things and see what works, and/or master the scheme's they're using now.

[SpurPadre]

Forbes has no business taking 16 shots in a 2 game span, let alone in 1 game. Can anyone explain why he took more shots than the guy who scored the 3rd most points in a game in franchise history?

[bklynspursfan]

Those early season losses might be too much to overcome. Have played really well lately yet haven't made up any ground. Still at the 7th seed.

They were just 5th I think, stuff changes nightly with records so close.

[timtonymanu]

There's still half a season left to try new things and see what works, and/or master the scheme's they're using now.

But it still won’t change that DeRozan, Bryn, Patty, and Beli are generally defensive liabilities and are all major parts of the rotation. I agree with robz that they just don’t have the personnel and can be exposed for it.

[timtonymanu]

Forbes has no business taking 16 shots in a 2 game span, let alone in 1 game. Can anyone explain why he took more shots than the guy who scored the 3rd most points in a game in franchise history?

He had a lot of open looks, just missed them today. But I agree, it’s gross that Forbes gets so many touches.

[RD2191]

They were just 5th I think, stuff changes nightly with records so close.

Yeah but I still don't see it. They're losing too many games that they're supposed to win. Looks like an 7-8 seed and a 1st round exit again.

[Robz4000]

There's still half a season left to try new things and see what works, and/or master the scheme's they're using now.

If they had good defenders, yeah. Unfortunately they don't. White emerging has been huge but they still lack any form of defensive talent on the wings. Like was said previously, the only average or better defenders they have are White, LMA, and Poeltl.

[marinoman]

Just want a healthy team and a favorable matchup, having game 7 on the road or at home won’t make or break us

[GreekSpursfan]

1st round exit incoming because, inexperienced backcourt and the elephant in the room named Derozan. Can Derozan be above average for 4 games in a playoff series without us having home court advantage? You know the answer to that question.
Lets hope the young guys develop into something special in the next few years.

[timtonymanu]

I know blkyn is the optimist around here, but how can you look at the roster and think the personnel they have will give them a substainable defense. They desperately need another 3 and D guy, but I’m thinking PATFO likes Gasol next to Aldridge while our injury prone 3rd option sits out.

[bklynspursfan]

Im just not buying they can't win a playoff series is all

[Robz4000]

I don't think that's clear at all, aside from GS.. OKC has the toughest remaining schedule, and Denver's isn't exactly easy. Plus, CP3 will come back, who knows how that impact what Haren is doing

1083786799363821568

I meant talent wise. GS is obvious, but Denver is deep as hell at every position, Houston has the reigning MVP and quite possibly the current best player in the NBA, and OKC has two Top 15 players as well as the best defense in the NBA. Can't see the Spurs beating any of them in a series.

[skin27]

They should give aldridge more touches

[marinoman]

Yeah but I still don't see it. They're losing too many games that they're supposed to win. Looks like an 7-8 seed and a 1st round exit again.
I prefer losing to jobbers over good teams, losing to shit teams just shows a letdown/lack of focus

[SpurPadre]

He had a lot of open looks, just missed them today. But I agree, it’s gross that Forbes gets so many touches.

The green light this fucker gets is out of control.

[bklynspursfan]

But it still won’t change that DeRozan, Bryn, Patty, and Beli are generally defensive liabilities and are all major parts of the rotation. I agree with robz that they just don’t have the personnel and can be exposed for it.

No doubt. (Tho Patty has been better) it's not what we're used to as Spurs fans, but some nights, it'll come down to if those guys can score more than they give up. I think it's possible, especially with how well we shoot the 3 ball

[bklynspursfan]

I meant talent wise. GS is obvious, but Denver is deep as hell at every position, Houston has the reigning MVP and quite possibly the current best player in the NBA, and OKC has two Top 15 players as well as the best defense in the NBA. Can't see the Spurs beating any of them in a series.

OKC struggled tonight to get going, and we won without Gay. This OKC team isn't like team's past imo. I worry more about thunderefs showing up. WB seeks out triple doubles more than anything, doesn't really take over games like he used to.

[Robz4000]

OKC struggled tonight to get going, and we won without Gay. This OKC team isn't like team's past imo. I worry more about thunderefs showing up. WB seeks out triple doubles more than anything, doesn't really take over games like he used to.

Their scrubs routinely show up against the Spurs as well, and like I said that defense is enough to get them through.

[daslicer]

Don't care about this loss since I believed it is what I call a scheduled loss. It's very hard to beat an elite team twice in the same week. Spurs got the split they needed with OKC this week.

[BillMc]

They should give aldridge more touches

OKC was surrounding him. If they're going to pay that much attention to LMA, DeMar should have 35 plus easy and the role-players should be uber efficient. Didn't happen.

[paperboy77]

Pop better get with the program and stop playing Pau. That was the difference with the team going on a tear and it’s the difference with them sucking. WTF! Sorry there is no upside to playing Pau. Get rid of him or more easily Eubanks and bring in Lonnie!

[Hoops Czar]

Uh oh, looks like the mod(s) don't want posters to pick on DeRozen anymore. His feewings might get hurt. :cry

[SpaceCoast Spursfan]

Really hurt that DDR could only give us 1 quality quarter and definitely missed Rudy tonight

[anon]

Im just not buying they can't win a playoff series is all
So name the top 4 team they are favoured to beat.

[bklynspursfan]

So name the top 4 team they are favoured to beat.

What if we finish in the top 4?

[anon]

What if we finish in the top 4?
Ah. All the eggs are on that basket, huh. So name the 5th seed this team as constructed is supposed to steamroll.

[RD2191]

These fucks better do something in the playoffs. The cowboys just shit the bed per usual and I need some postseason action. Son of a bitch. :pctoss

[timtonymanu]

I only feel confident going up against the Clippers. Maybe the Guests, but Portland gets crazy home cooking which can shake our guys especially Depressedzan.

[kaji157]

What can the spurs do this season to improve besides trading for a player?

Work mentally on DeRozan as we've done with LMA

[bklynspursfan]

Ah. All the eggs are on that basket, huh. So name the 5th seed this team as constructed is supposed to steamroll.

Where did I say steamroll lol. It's tough to predict any playoff standings in the west, in January. But there are def teams we can beat.

[duncan2k5]

He thinks it's the playoffs

[anon]

Where did I say steamroll lol. It's tough to predict any playoff standings in the west, in January. But there are def teams we can beat.
Roll with it like I'm rolling with your hesitancy and stalling. Feels like it would make a good poll, no? Which western playoff team would the Spurs beat in a 7 game series? Let's hear what the rest of the board has to say. Too bad I dunno how to post a poll.

[duncan2k5]

Im just not buying they can't win a playoff series is all

I've BEEN saying that and ppl have been calling me the bad guy... Yall will soon see...

[bklynspursfan]

Bruh, there's no stalling lol. I think as it stands now, GS/Denver/Houston is a bad match up . Outside of that, no one is unbeatable imo.

But like I said, u literally can't predict anything cause the standings are so close. There's a good chance we can make a push and end up with HCA in round 1. With our remaining schedule vs others in the West.

[anon]

There, that wasn't so hard, was it. So if I'm getting this straight, your Spurs roadmap to advancing to the semis is crossing our fingers that OKC drops to 5th seed, HOU takes their place and the Spurs locking up the last HCA spot. Then all the Spurs need to do is eliminate OKC in the postseason opener. Hey, the 2nd ranked DRTG Jazz did it last year, these Spurs should be able to replicate that feat. Or better case scenario, OKC drops even further than 5th and some overachiever like LAC takes their place.

Spurs really do control their destiny. True sign of a legit team.

[Arcadian]

DeRozan tried to shoot his way out of a slump, and...it didn't work. He'll heat up again at some point; he's not gonna stay a 30% shooter for the rest of his career. Aldridge was cold to start the season, everyone thought he was done, and he goes on to set a career high in scoring.

[cd021]

Don't care about this loss since I believed it is what I call a scheduled loss. It's very hard to beat an elite team twice in the same week. Spurs got the split they needed with OKC this week.

Agrees. The Spurs played 5 games in 7 days, it caught up with them. This loss isn't really too big of a deal. If anything I think it shows that they are streets ahead of where they were to start the season.


OKC was surrounding him. If they're going to pay that much attention to LMA, DeMar should have 35 plus easy and the role-players should be uber efficient. Didn't happen.

DeRozen was pretty awful again tbh. Messed lay ups and free throws, bad turnovers, picking up a tech, Forbes was aggressive -probably too much so and Mills was pretty bad. On the bright side Belinelli has has continued to play well and. I didn't think Bertans played poorly just wasn't enough.

[Fireball]

that was the expected loss but I think at least there was a chance if not for fluky 3 point shooting of OKC ... Derozan continues to detoriate though ...

[playbonner15]

These fucks better do something in the playoffs. The cowboys just shit the bed per usual and I need some postseason action. Son of a bitch. :pctoss

:lol tough luck. Also don't want my teams losing but it is what it is :depressed

[Spurtacular]

Don't care about this loss since I believed it is what I call a scheduled loss. It's very hard to beat an elite team twice in the same week. Spurs got the split they needed with OKC this week.

Didn't see 2nd half; but I said on pg 1 that the league was gonna make sure OKC got this one.

[NameLess Scrub]

Pop better get with the program and stop playing Pau. That was the difference with the team going on a tear and it’s the difference with them sucking. WTF! Sorry there is no upside to playing Pau. Get rid of him or more easily Eubanks and bring in Lonnie!

I suspect he's getting minutes due to his passing ability.


Really hurt that DDR could only give us 1 quality quarter and definitely missed Rudy tonight

Maybe Rudy could improve DeMar's game by adding another matchup problem for OKC.



I've BEEN saying that and ppl have been calling me the bad guy... Yall will soon see...

I think bklyn said they can win a series. Guessing you think they can't.


Work mentally on DeRozan as we've done with LMA

Yes please. Dude needs an intervention.

[cd021]

I suspect he's getting minutes due to his passing ability.



Maybe Rudy could improve DeMar's game by adding another matchup problem for OKC.


I think that's fair point about Gay but DeRozan has been a disaster against OKC but it's mostly been bad decisions and less him getting shut down.

He aslo had to do a better job of keeping his emotions in check, a couple of calls don't go his way and he loses his focus.

I remember earlier this season he got called for a foul while defending on a screen. He got knocked down and popped up and stormed over to the ref as if he were actually about to hit him. He sulked and continued to complain and he wasn't nearly as good the rest of the game.
