Lose to the Clips (for the first time time in a couple years) by 20.

role player
Not sure why you bother responding to one of the most irrelevant posters in spurstalk history..
How they forget. A Kawhi led team won the ing FINALS YOU STUPID !!!
You're right. A 2-10 outing by Parker is much better.
I'm sure OP is offended...
coming from the Canadian downy that has "sources" close to Kawhi![]()
Kawhi is a great role player. But we need our big 3 to have a chance in
The Spurs took 30 three point shots!!! A that is too many. B they made 10. Boris Diaw played awful D on Griffin. He is out of shape and slow. This isn't the Diaw that did great when tasked with guarding LeBron in the finals the past two years. This is fat, lazy, disinterested Diaw.
The Spurs aren't consistently scoring in the paint. Leonard is the only guy who can consistently get to the rim when he needs to. Parker and Manu seem to be struggling more than ever in the paint for the obvious reasons. Duncan started the year well, But looks gassed. If the Spurs can start scoring in the paint, the Offense will come alive. Obviously the perimeter will open up. The Spurs need open 3 ball looks. Not off the dribble 3's. That's not our teams strength.
Then there is our passing. All year the passing has been awful. It's been sloppy, it's been behind guys making cuts, passes have been at each others feet. The turnovers are alarming. Its ugly lazy basketball. Its a lack of concentration. And it shows indifference, the team isn't willi g to committ to 48 minutes of good basketball a night.
The Defense is ugly too. We are consistently getting beat off the dribble on the perimeter. We are content to get lost in traffic coming off screens. There is no real hustle to stick to our man. Guys are having to compensate for others and as a result they gut pulled out of position leading to easy buckets at the basket or a wide open 3.
Imo probably 2/3 of what we are seeing is poor effort and or being content. The other 1/3 is age creeping up. And tbh, the getting old part doesn't worry me nearly as much as the disinterest...
The Spurs have a lot of issues right now. ..
That was actually an Enrique-led team, tbh. Frizzle with the bads yet again.
0 assists smh
This was the biggest issue to me in the game. Even when Griffin was out of the game or someone else was switched onto him, Diaw had trouble guarding Hawes (laughing stock around NBA this year). Problem with Diaw is he's not a guy you can put on the shelf and rest - he'll balloon a pound per day.
So Kawhi scored 24 and then gets the blame for the team's lackluster performance besides his and Danny's.
Cats![]()
Leonard scores 24 but only 5 REB ; -20 +/- and 0 AS !! super leader !!!
Yeah his teammates really shot the ball well.
4-13, -22, overdribbling all night and outplayed by fat Lowry.
That Enrique-led team though...
"Enrique-led team"
Role player leading the team in shots and TO's![]()
Kinda hard to go positive when pop plays tony with kawhi all the time as to help enrique tbh.
Duncan 3-14
Green 2-9
Parker 4-13
Manu 3-13
Leonard was far from good but let's not act like he was the only one to shoot poorly.
