But but...The Beautiful Game

Aldridge with an open midrange shot is efficient. That isn't Tiago out there. Kawhi in an iso is efficient as well.

Maybe they start playing some/any PnR defense and show some hussle on that end of the floor.

Hey folks - The Thunder are bad. Let's hope their play improves so the Spurs are better prepared for 3rd round. Or not. The rest looked good for our guys too.

I hate to break it to you, but that's probably a dude running an alt account. Very few real women would post in a troll infested shit hole like ST.

This.

And since they're behind in the series, I'm expecting Durant and Westbrook to try and DO MORE, which means even less involvement for their teammates.

All good signs.

But we still need the Beautiful Game with the 2nd unit. When Kawhi/LMA, both are on the bench, the Spurs need ball-movement to create good looks.

If the game is competitive one of them will always be on the court with the rotations.

Maybe this was the start of them playing to their potential offensively (obviously not the unsustainable percentages, but how smoothly it ran) or maybe it was just one game. If it's the latter, they have virtually no chance to win the championship.

Yeah, the extended rest seems to have done the Spurs a world of good. They had an obvious spring in their step last night...plenty of energy.

And what is even better? Neither Kawhi or LMA went over 30 minutes.

Aldridge with 38 in less than 30 minutes. Kawhi with 25-5-5.

They came to play.

He knows. Why do you think he said butt...

It was the beautiful game last night

pop started emphasising space and pace once the playoff started. All year long they were playing slow, not pushing the ball and many were taking contested jumpshots

hopefully the spurs offense continue to go in the right direction, its the only way they can get past the thunder and have a shot vs gsw

I'm not worried about the Spurs having a let-down in the least. They may lose a game (I posted Spurs in 5) or two in this series but it won't be due to them being the inferior team. Sometimes shots don't go in. They certainly won't be out-coached or out-executed. I'm looking forward to seeing how many different ways the Spurs can beat the Thunder. We've already had the beat-down where a shell-shocked Thunder team didn't look like they belonged on the same floor.

What's next? A slow start with a comeback to win? Overcoming foul trouble to Kawhi or LMA and still winning? Seeing Manu or Patty have a huge game on the road? Good times.

If beautiful game means danny green hitting threes then yes more of that

And we'll have a nice break between game 2 and 3 as well.

Aldridge is the new Curry

CIA Pop ordering Green to suck all season offensively as part of the Master Plan

im actually thinking this is not far fetched from reality .... Sandbaging for 82 games the exploding when it counts ... Only the spurs only Pop can pull that off ... Under the radar tbh

The Klaw scores 40 and Durant and Chuckbrook cry in the post game conference admiting the system Defense didn't affect him :lmao

Let's not overreact to one game.

That said, I'm really looking forward to seeing some consistency on the flow, discipline and focus they showed.

For some reason the Warriors keep on having games like they're playing 6 on 5. Spurs need to be ready.

And if this is the kind of execution they can sustain, it should get pretty exciting.

This was all Parker the other night. Like I said at the beginning of this season, if he plays as a pass first PG, the Spurs are unbeatable.

Bump.
:lol

In

:lmao

From Beautiful to pitiful.
