Eye on the Dubs: This team's 1st half coasting, tbh...

vs Thunder	-4	Won by 8
vs Clippers	+4	Won by 21
vs Blazers	+2	Won by 8

The Wolves is the outlier, and even the Pacers game we lost, we started really poorly and couldn't come back after putting in some work in the 2ns half.

The first quarters always involves a heavy dose of parker in the offense. Its a fact that the team struggles playing that way.

Since the spurs are the worst in the NBA in drawing fouls and going to the free throw line, KMart helps immensely in that regard, especially in the postseason when the games slow down.

Just the Spurs superior bench allowing starters to be more rested than the opponent and it taking it's toll in the 2nd half.

Kawhi even mentioned it in his interview after the Clippers, how this team really needs to play for 48 mins.

Now, there's no doubt that for a seasoned team like ours, this 82 game grind when you have such a lead with the #3 seed and playoffs are around the corner, becomes boring up to an extent. You kinda relish building a bit of a challenge, then raising to it, but IMO, this team really needs to start focusing on that. Will another beatdown by the Dubs send the message? Or this team won't wake up until the playoffs, tbh?

This team has been coasting for a decade now... They are also too old for this shit.

I'm pretty tired of hearing of Curry tbh

I'm just glad Manu didn't have a good game yesterday b/c Turnobili would have reared it ugly face on Saturday since he can't play two good games in a row.:lol

We need Dallas to do us a solid tonight. Give those fuckers their first b2b loss of the season and put us in striking distance....

Well, it looks like dallas has never heard of curry and thompson, so I'd bet its not happening. They're getting 3's at will, its pathetic

It's amazing how Dallas is in striking distance despite the warriors hitting 15 3's at 71 percent shooting.
