Is it even worth watching the 4th quarter?
Got home late so only in the 3rd quarter right now but wtf are they doing. Timmy obviously cannot handle Pau/Gibson's length at this point in his career, Enrique can't blow past anybody, Manu's shot isn't falling...yet they f'ing give Kawhi 1 shot in the third quarter even though he's the one that kept the team in the game in the first half.
Oh and Enrique is arguably the worst defender in the league at the PG position. Set a couple of screens for his man and he'll be about 3 steps behind him once the play has ran it's course. It's not even trolling or hating to say Patty/Joseph are better options at this point.

Duncan was playing elite basketball for most of this season, but he has looked terrible lately..it's evident that the large load while Leonard/Parker were out has taken a toll on him..Pop really needs to sit him out more, he's so ing slow right now..
Parker's style of play is really antiquated now, too..he's so slow and over-dribbles, and even when he does score, it's a mid-range jump shot in a slow-paced tempo..
He was on fire in that 2nd quarter. And only got 2 shots in the 3rd .They needed to get him in the post. Even if he missed a few he had the mismatch. It's frustrating that this is still happening.
the duncan-enrique combination is so ugly to watch in 2015.. i'll give duncan a pass though since he's still an overall efficient player and clearly needs time off, but what's enrique's excuse? is he about to sit out with another "injury"?
slow motion
Duncan carried a massive load that no 39-year old should have to carry, tbh..Manu, as well..
Those s get passes from me, they earned some rest for a few weeks..
When was the last time Enrique took someone off the dribble? Not even a PG just anyone. Dude can't even get past bigs like Humphries or Mirovic. Even Manu can still take them with his long strides tbh.
Duncan's played way more than he should have already this season. I think it's starting to show. Same with Manu, to an extent. I'd rather have a healthy Spurs ar the 7th seed come playoff time than an old, tired team with the 3rd or 4th seed.
That drive and hook shot he made over Rose in the 3rd quarter was so painful to watch, tbh..he was moving in slow-motion..
I'd give Timmy a pass, but it's ridiculous how the team in General Ignored Kawhi in the third....
Lol @ Manu getting a pass for carrying the team
He's having a statistically worse season than 2013
Yeah, I called this ish when they were over excerting themselves so Enrique could nurse his sore asscheek. Not even blaming them for being worn out moreso their reluctance to get Kawhi involved. Both of then are warriors though tbf.
They were force feeding kawhi early dude. Kawhi had an average game also. Shot it decent but stalled the offense and made some bad decisions. Got bailed out on a couple jumpers as well. Watch the game next time. Everyone looked meh.
Plus Chicago was on a mission tonight with their little d rose tantrum and team meetings n .
Yeah, but it's difficult to rest the really old guys when your 32 year old isn't giving you much and on top of that is a defensive liability...
I'm still rooting for Tony to miraculously turn a corner, but it's looking pretty dim..
Frenchie is shameless - highest paid player on the team but gives some of the lowest impact. Not to mention missing multiple games and coming back at random times just to ruin the chemistry on the team.
I recorded the game. Watched it I was just behind by 30-40 minutes. Kawhi was on in the 2nd quarter and honestly the only reason why the game was close.
I can't hate him, tbh... he is what he is... it's just disappointing if this is his new level... like I said in another thread, more worried about the next 3 seasons, tbh...
The worst thing is seeing him struggle this much in the regular season. In the past, at least you could rely on Parker only choking come playoff time. If he can't even dominate the reg season anymore, post-seasons going to be very difficult for him.
He doesn't have the speed right now
Feeding him early in the third quarter? Well... I wouldn't call only two plays "feeding" ...
This thread seems to be about that quarter.
Leonard's post-up game sometimes stalls the offense but if is effective like tonight, and his teammates have bad matchups like Tim with Pau and Tony with Rose...they should give him the ball a little more than two plays in a quarter...They didn't even try.
Kawhi is willing and able to do great things but after he showed the old farts his nice streak, he became a role player WTF!? maybe he was suffering from bad breath during the 3rd quarter and nobody wanted to feed him anymore.
Agree, it's frustranting.
We know that Pop never goes with the hot-hand guy, but maybe that should change in the nigths when our offense looks horrible.
