I think they're just trying to work him back up to a normal minutes load. Rather than try waiting until Game 3 to bring him back, they'll gradually bring him on over these first few games.Quote:

FOR GODS SAKE FINISH AROUND THE BASKET, many times jordan wasnt even in the picture so I dont wanna hear that
Green make some wide open looks
Patty takes all of CoJo's minutes
Kawhi on CP3, Danny on Reddick, Parker on Barnes
If the Clippers are going to double Kawhi then run the offense through him.
Cut down on the turnovers
Make FTs
Really, make the bunnies and the FTs.
:lol Which is mind boggling tbh. The most surprising thing from tonight was to see how much more prepared the Clippers were IMO.Quote:

One of the worst benches in the league comes alive against you ? F'in please. No worries here. If that's the best they got, we got this. Because that was the Spurs at their worst.Quote:

That doesn't solve the defensive issues - leaving shooters, Griffin, CP3 going nuts. Spurs were not getting nearly as many good looks (they did get some) because of the PG/G play. They were flustered all night with being trapped and made some really poor decisions.Quote:

If those were made, it's close enough to be competitive in a road playoff game. Sure the other stuff needs to be worked on, but playoffs get ugly.Quote:

you can't ask parker to do the motion offense and play defense against one of the best PGs in the game. he's 32 years old, almost 33, and probably still suffering from lingering injuries.
pop refuses to put danny on cp3. that old fuck is gonna cost us this series if he continues to fuck this simple adjustment up. danny plays better offensively and defensively when he has a bigger task.
would pop's love for cojo end now? please? patty is light years better than cojo.
the team didn't play good tonight, but pop's rotations were ass and were the biggest reason we lost tonight.
Well sure, but close enough isn't good enough. You have to win to advance. Even with made FT's and more bunnies going in, this type of engagement/execution wouldn't have been good enough. It just wouldn't.Quote:

- They have to run more offense through Duncan, either in the low post, high post, or on the roll. he's shown he can score on Jordan (scored 30 on them in the last regular season matchup). it will also get their bigs some fouls and cause them to tone down their aggression
- Mills has to be the primary backup PG. Joseph is defensive minded, and that might be fine in certain matchups, but he's not going to slow CP3, realistically. so you basically have a below-average offensive player on one end, and a guy who can't make an impact defensively (if Paul is in the game).
- Splitter/Baynes need to be more physical. baynes missed some cupcakes at the rim
- The team needs to not play in complete fear of Jordan. this reminded me a lot of last year against OKC when Ibaka returned. i saw a lot of hot potato under the rim, everybody making a pass because they didn't want to go up with it
- manu/marco were overall ok, but if the team is stagnant offensively, we (fairly or not) rely on Manu to get us out of the funks. "ok" isn't going to be good enough from manu
- they're going to double Kawhi every time he backs his man down. he should anticipate the double and look to get rid of the ball sooner before getting trapped and being forced to throw a high-arching pass that gives the defense time to get reset.
