WTF? right? If we were getting cucked then try other things. Heck as you mentioned lack of an inside presence throw Boban there earlier than the 4th. You know what the defense didn't get much better in the 4th, but we were not outscored either.
Danny got hit with a cut. He wasn't completely blown, but he fouled I think it was Klay. They were calling the stupidest shit on Danny, and had Timmy been there, Klay doesn't get the cut all the way to the rim. Danny did get hit with cuts, but so did Manu. Kawhi to start the game was the first to let Klay get by him and go the rim on a bounce pass. Simmons was completely lost. I think Pop let him out there to figure it out as a teaching point, and to show LMA that a less heralded guy had more balls basically.
So still good for double or nothing for tonight? (I go up 20.00 or you break even)Quote:

He now at least understands there is a difference in first round teams and WCF teams. He will have to learn what that extra gear means. Will he have enough? I have doubts but I'm not counting him out yet. Let's see how he responds the 2nd half of the year. For better or worse it's on LMA/Kawhi & they have a great supporting cast for stumbling in a moment. But they can't take a backseat the entire ride.
LMA is looking himself in the mirror right now. He can't lie to himself. He has to make the call if he's going to be the player he wants to be. It's not just about talent. He knows that now.
:lol The Spurs very obviously did not gameplan their rotations, switches, and positioning. The Warriors were doubling Kawhi at particular spots on the floor with or without the ball. Positioning against our motion to funnel the ball to Verde and West.
The OP reads like they read stat sheets and don't really watch the games.
This narrative is worse than piggy backing off of Memphis marketing slogans. You lost your right to bag on local sports writers writing talent.Quote:

I never said Hollins was elite. I was disputing your league worst hyperbole. That is about the level of your analysis.Quote:

And what is this "we saw" horseshit. You that far deluded yet?
Your notes were basically shit on Parker and LMA and give faint praise to Green and West. In it you talk about it like you're reading a stat sheet. Your obtuse to my point about what the Warriors were doing.
You don't dispute any of that. Your analysis is shit. You just whine about my character like a bitch.
Fuzzy :lmao
The sam mitchell of spurstalk if every poster was an NBA coach. :lmao
But it was the only that worked on offense, Kawhi has a favorable matchup against Barnes and Thompson and the team should help him to exploit it consistently.Quote:

It's obvious it won't work in "every possession" , but could have given us a chance to keep in the game in the 2nd quarter...at least until the rest of the Spurs offense start to figure out some answers to Warriors D on our pick and roll.
I remember that conversation too. You were trolling racist hyperbole and complaining about the last play of that year's Memphis series where you were complaining about the play only being 'a simple pnr.' I pointed out that they used Gasol as the play initiator and ran Conley off a double screen on the weakside before the playside pick. It got Conley with a full head of steam in the lane on a switch. He is their best finisher.Quote:

:lmao there was no attempt of "analysis" in my post, it was a summary of the ultimate result of each type of individual possessions.."quick" notes that were more stat-oriented, I never claimed otherwise..Quote:

The only reason I'm even aware of your existence on this forum is because you've been following me around for years(since I destroyed you re: NBA coaches)..
:lol he's a 40+ year old, ex-High School coach still trying to relive his old glory of drawing up x's and o's for 16-year old girls, tbh..Quote:

Not surprised. :lmaoQuote:

Laughable takes. Almost always wrong.
:lol Zach Lowe was on Windhorst's podcast, and his main takeaway from the game was that Parker was obliterated on D and the Warriors made it a purpose to attack him..Quote:

I remember when Miami was the Super team, it seems like we could not beat them. But when we play them in finals, it seems like we were the better team. Pop does not want to show his cards until it matters. It is not coincident that most players played bad last night.
