We really needed SJAX and Kwahi for this game...
Tim Duncan B+
Fantastic effort. Relentlessly compe ive. Wasn’t sharp enough offensively.
Manu Ginobili B-
Questionable decision making at times but got to the line and played good D in spurts.
Tony Parker C-
Just not enough production. He has to do more when things are circling the drain.
Danny Green C-
Acceptable defensively but took quick shots and his accuracy was poor.
Stephen Jackson B-
Jackson was playing solid yet unspectacular basketball on both ends prior to getting hurt.
DeJuan Blair C+
Missed too many chip shots. Started off well on defense but then faded dramatically.
Gary Neal D+
Bad shot selection. Poor ball-handling. Subpar defense. Still appeared to be bothered by finger.
Tiago Splitter C
Didn’t play tough enough on D, especially on the boards. Too antsy when defending the post.
Matt Bonner A
Fearless shooting the ball in the fourth. Good positional defense. Competed.
Boris Diaw D-
Bad on the boards. Ineffective on D. Horrible on offense.
Patrick Mills D
His point guard skills seem to be regressing. Can’t do anything with the ball. Weak defense.
Nando De Colo C-
Got a chance to try to make a difference but became a liability on both ends.
Pop C
Never found a group that could match L.A.’s energy of toughness.
We really needed SJAX and Kwahi for this game...
lol @ Bonner out-competing our entire team save for Duncan
How did Patty Mills get a lower grade than Nando De Colo?
I don't get why you don't give out F's. Mills, De Colo, Neal, and Diaw were all SOLID F's.
re this
Looks like the reality of this team is with bonner well put points up on the board and our D is good enough to chug out wins
but once playoffs roll around bonner becomes useless and our O fails along with our average D
im not to worried about this game though
they still played very sloppy especially that 2nd quarter and missed a lot of open shots
ginobili and parker decided to dance around when they had mismatches instead of taking it to the rim
leonard/jack both out
and refs favored clips this game and it was still close
if the spurs dont let turiaf or bledsoe get those offensive rebounds we win
De Colo deserves the lowest grade out of all the players that played tonight. His defense was terrible, he caused turnovers, wasn't effective on either end of the court.
diaw looked great last year and i was really excited to see him with a full training camp this season, but he has been a disappointment
ditto splitter
Mills got twice as many minutes and his expectations are much higher than a player in De Colo who has played only a handful of meaningful minutes.
I would give Bonner a B- just from the fact of THAT rebound that killed our momentum... sure, the 3s were nice, but we needed stops and these s can't grab a ing board.
ElNono with almost as much irrational hate for Bonner as Parker, tbh.
In light of my latest decision, I'd like Parker's grade upgraded to at least C+... after all, he had to deal with top talent like CP3 all night long.
Diaw is stinking it up something chronic. Averaging like 2pts 2reb in his last 5 games
???
I love Tony Parker. Tony is the best.
Bonner sucks though.
Beginning to suspect you're drunk posting tbh.
Parker is a dog of a player. He's supposed to be our best player, but he sure doesn't lead by example out there.
I'm simply getting tired of our so called best player taking nights off all the time.
Don't know whats wrong with Diaw dude looks stupid out there passes up open looks, soft on def reb.
Parker, imo, is not a leader. It doesn't mean he is expendable, I think he has been a good, at times great, piece for the team. But he pouts too much, gets selfish on the court and off the court by doing indefensible . You can't be a leader if its not in your character. TD is undoubtedly a leader. Manu has it in him. I'm hoping Kawhi can be one as well.
This is the most depressing 8-3 team I've ever seen
diaws play has regressed since he was tossed to the bench
rather just start him if he can get back to normal
diaws more important to the team long term then blair is unless he gets traded soon
With KL out and Stak hurt early I'm not really worried. It's not like we let the Fakers in for a win.
Thanks for the grades. Manu shows he can stil be great, especially when he doesn't intentionally play balls to the wall and out of control. If the team can get in a rhythm toward the end his efficiency will be needed in the post season, and will probably allow him to extend his career too.
I was glad that Bonner made some pressure shots.
I didn't see the beginning, did Tiago and Tim start? Pop may want to consider this to equalize the bigs that the Clippers have. Griffin and Deandre are getting better, and Deandre is an annoying player. He is probably one of the reasons why/how the Clip get so fired up against us. Barnes was annoying this game too because he played well, though he did stop Tim from tripping over Parker near the end of the game.
Anyway, they do seem dangerous but I will be more worried if the Clip are playing this well at the end of the season.
Tony Parker carried this team last year. This year, he's playing like a candy ass.
Piss face deserves a D-. Putting garbage Mills and De Colo into the game in the second quarter killed whatever little momentum the Spurs had at the time. It's also pretty embarrassing to allow players like Paul and Bledsoe offensive rebound after offensive rebound. I think the team is also lacking fundamental. Pop needs to run layup drills in practice because they can't hit a transition layup to save their ass.
The Spurs continue to shoot their way out of games by taking outside jumpshots instead of driving to the basket for an easier shot. The shots that were falling last year aren't this year and the defense isn't anywhere close to being good enough to contend. You can't put lipstick on this pig. They just aren't that good.
