but you can't do that shit too much with these younger guys coming up. Popovich has to realize it's not the 90s or early 2000s anymore. Imagine he had done this if we would have had Isiah Thomas and he wouldn't re-sign with us.. :lol

So the Spurs split the first pair at home. Then win both on the road. Then squeak out an OT win at home, after being up by 25 at halftime?

Zeke? Or the little lefty guy on the Celtics

yea i just rewatched.. he was lazy fighting through a screen, then the next possession he comes down and goes 1 on 1 with 15 seconds on the shot clock. It's just poor game management and comes like maybe he just wants to get his name in the scoring column. We should be winding the clock down, not rushing shots, and he's done stuff like that before. He just has to recognize the game situation better
