Never worried about Manu unless the Spurs need a basket to tie or win the game. That's when you hoped he's fouled out. Dat historic defense doe. :lol

Agree. Either Diaw has been told he is on a bubble, or he has watched the rotation line-ups and figured it out for himself. He is such a talented but inconsistent player. He must make Pop nuts...so much talent and so little discipline. The antithesis of the 'lunch-bucket' work ethic that Pop so admires.

At least Nytes have NBA quality players & the Bulls are decimated w/ injury; the Wizard almost blew a 24 point lead to the Sixers.:lol

Like against the Thunder in 2014? Never worry, my nig

Wow these calls. The league really wants gs to take the streak

Will Pop show his hand and put Green on Curry Saturday? Based on tonight, TP will get raped again by Curry.

Based on any night, everyone gets raped by Curry.

I like how Danny has played the last couple games... tonight is a case of Portland really running to him at the perimeter... but I feel he's going to hit if they leave him open

I am glad he came to play. If he kept on the way he was going, I can't say we'd even keep him after this season. I don't think he feels pressure like others do.

What I see from this game: 1.) Pop wanted to get him going bc him coming up with 0 on games was unacceptable; 2.) Conscious effort to get Tony going. He's been really off an That isn't going to fly against GSW or in the postseason, 3.) POP is playing K.Martin sufficient minutes to get a real sense for him on both ends and allow him to try to catch a rhythm.

Not in the '13 Western Conference Semis when Green made him his bitch.

Curry sold his soul to the devil in the offseason. He is not human anymore.

Taking a quality shot >>> Jacking up a shot in a 3 second differential

Would teams rather take two RUSHED shots (~3 seconds) rather than one QUALITY shot?

:claw3333333333

Spurs held lilliard to 2/8. Mcc to 5/11. Free throws helped them out. Most their points came against many and mills. I highly doubt pop has them on curry and Thompson.

welp, 2nd half... time to wake up

Leonard. :tu

4shot attempts now.

If Curry is 2-8 at halftime like Lillard is... We will be fine

:lma

Leonard's defense is unreal.

Made up for his Game 6 '13 free throw brick that cost us a ring.

Despite his excellent first half in this game, I think Boris is probably gone next season. Pop just can't trust him to show up.
