yeah danny green back to his typical pussy footing around.
It was clearly OKC's strategy and it worked, tbh..
everyone brain farted
Patty makes that open 3 in San Antonio
Patty missed a few
The one Gino made was :wow though... but yeah, they obviously don't want to give up the 3... the Spurs should dominate inside in that case, but it didn't happen tonight...
It's evident that they are content with Aldridge, Kawhi and Parker scoring on their own, tbh..
Still have a great feeling about Game 5. Have a feeling we go Game 1 on them.
OKC hit shots and played great in the last quarter. Spurs did not. Plain facts. Tip your hat.
Green having a man on him = gravity/space for the other starters to operate
It's an adjustment they made after game 1, and they fully committed to it tonight
The Spurs' starting unit is built entirely around Aldridge/Leonard operating, they're content with OKC's strategy
Kawhi-Aldridge-Parker should be enough to beat OKC. But they really need to start dictating the pace more and start playing much slower for that to work.
I didnt like pace tonight.
Danny scored 0 because the thunder made an effort to make sure he doesnt get any threes. Only way they change their defensive scheme is for kawhi or Aldridge to go bananas. That didnt happen though.
Should start playing Aldridge at 5. With Diaw at the 4 if Tim is.going to continue playing 12-13 monutes a game...but thats probably not going to work because it might hurt Aldridge feelings.
Durant isn't going to help on defense anyway - so that is moot. To tell danny to just linger is retarded, or lazy. I would assume this was why KD was able to have energy to go off. He only played half the floor.
Hiding your best player, especially on our three point specialist, SHOULD BE him chasing the shit out of danny, and getting beat down with screens.
Spurs defense lost the game
Moon face said post game that he didn't think they were communicating on D very well and they had to many lapses. IDK it looked like they were playing their asses off.
The Spurs made their bed in the offseason. This is a mid range jump shooting team, not a 3pt shooting team. The downside of that is when they're going up against elite competition, a simple 5 point deficit is a three possession game.
Kawhi completes four or five and ones every game but may only get two actually called.
:lol
This is a series that Spurs need to continue pushing the tempo with an average at best OKC defensive team when they start missing shots. That should open up some 3's in transition, which the Spurs have always played their best at. Have to play elite defense like they have most of the season though for this to happen fwiw.
