Game Thread: Spurs vs Pacers -- Mon. (12/21) - 7:30PM CST (3:30AM Riga Time)

At home tonight to take on an improved Pacers team who is 16-10, but losers of 5 of their last 9. Paul George is playing the best ball of his career and is a legit MVP candidate. This will be D-West's first match against his former team. Everyone's expected to play. Let's get it.

I'm fine with tony as long as he's willing to take a bench role when the time comes.

Let's complete this the home-stand sweep..hopefully Pacers recent cooldown continues here..Paul George shooting has significantly comedown to earth in December: 39% overall and 36% from 3 in 10 games vs 47% overall and 49% from deep in November :wow..Kawhi should help contain him..

Paul George will get his even if guarded by Kawhi ... but thats ok ... but please somehow contain CJ Miles ...

well, Pacers just lost to Memphis and in that game Grizzlies defense was good ... I think that's the reason for the comparison

Memphis held Indy to 84 points, their second lowest point total all season, two nights ago. Their defense probably looked pretty good to him.

Makes sense. Interesting they held them to 84 after giving up 112 to the Wizards, 123 to the Hornets, and 125 to OKC all in the last couple weeks

Yeah, CJ Miles has been lights out all season and he 0-9 against Memphis. If anyone watched the game, I'd be interested which Memphis players had the primary defensive responsibility for Miles.

Interesting tidbit on Spurs 15-0 home record.

It ranks as the best home
start we've seen from a team out
West since the 1988-99 Lakers
opened up 17-0

Pacers Paul George misses the guidance of Uncle West

SAN ANTONIO – You could see it in his eyes. Paul George has expressed frustration about not getting certain calls since day one of the NBA season. But on this night, dripping with sweat and sweltering in anger after an ugly win over the Brooklyn Nets, George had a camera nearby and could no longer hold his rage, letting slip a little four-letter word that would cost him $35,000. The instant he muttered it, George’s gaze shifted toward the nearest exit. His legs soon followed.

In that moment, the eyes revealed everything that George has searched for this season. While taking ownership of the role as leader of the Indiana Pacers, George has longed for an attentive ear, an understanding veteran bold enough to snap him out of it.

In other words, George has longed for a teammate like David West.

“I called him Uncle West,” George said, “just (his) knowledge of the game and the conversations we would have away from the game. For me being 21, 22 years old, that was stuff that stuck with me and has helped me with this unit having younger guys. A lot of stuff that I’m going through now … I was able to vent to David about. About officiating, about play calls, what’s going on out in the court. That was my person I vented to and he was the one who set me straight.”

not many doubters, but a Spurs W with big pt diff should, but won't, shut up doubters.

Interested to see what numbers PG-13 can post with the WING STOP on him all game.

Paul George vs Kawhi is must see TV.

We should win this and Minny to prepare for the Rockets loss tbh. :wakeup

Say hello to Danny's transition D, PG13!!!

LMA's decisions are getting quicker. Good to see.

Paul George :bang why did we trade this guy again?


:p:

we are going to lose this game. Shots aren't going fall. 85-80

shit game ... 6 points in 5 minutes ...

The luxury of LMAlpha, easy, cheap fouls on opponent bigs. :tu

On pace to help our defensive averages.:downspin:

Just when you thought Green couldn't get any more sloppier with the ball, he gets sloppier every game.

Ugly start on offense.
