"start Neal?"
Don't suck at 3s and d
put Stephen Jackson on Jack oh wait,
introduce Manu to Ponce de Leon. give a copy of Playoffs for Dummies to Tony.
Don't die.
-Kawhi/Green have to match Curry/Thompsons mins. They'll have to go 40+. Neither Neal/Cojo/Manu should see a second on those guys tbh.
-Stop helping Parker. Let them run their offense through Barnes if they want and have him shoot contested fadeaways/floaters
-Small ball. I'd rather see Diaw as the backup 5. SPlitter played okay but Diaw is a better matchup on the switch.
-Slow the pace down. Especially in Oakland. Spurs won't have a shot if its another shooting contest. Dirty up the game like the 2nd half and hit their shots.
Three Keys:
1. Break both of Curry's hands.
2. Break Thompson's right arm.
3. Break Bogut's left leg.
Five guard lineups.
return to defense.
I was thinking about this during the game. Jack sucked ass for most of this season, but the dude had size and the ability to play gritty D when motivated. We might be missing him more than we realize.
dont double team roleplayers like Landry
play big and crash the glass
Leonard had 7 offensive rebounds
a Leonard/Splitter/Duncan frontline could have at least 15 a game vs them
never let Neal/Bonner see the floor
im ok with Blair as long as he isnt suppose to be the rim protector like Pop hopes he can be in his turd tower lineup
McGradys size and passing can actually help the Spurs since he can match a guy like Barnes but popo wont ever put him out there
Jack would've also stepped on Curry's bad ankle already... like Horry, he was useful to do what needed to be done...
Try going big and make the game uglier for both sides. Make Barnes beat us rather than sending 3 guys to help Tony. Help off the right players (a Draymond Green wing 3 is preferable over a Klay Thompson corner 3).
Though the idea of going big sounds nice, unfortunately we don't have a second big that could truly punish a smaller player like barnes. Splitter isn't strong enough or skilled enough to truly dominate the matchup, so unfortunately we would be losing that mismatch. However, we have had great success when we've gone small in this series.
Honestly, we haven't done much wrong besides play some lax defense on shooters occasionally. Curry and Thompson have been making great shots for the most part, and I personally don't mind letting Draymond Green fire. Unfortunately they've been going in this series, but I'll take it. Everyone from Parker to Manu to Kawhi needs to remain aggressive both offensively and defensively, and hopefully our shots will start to fall and there's won't
You forgot send Bonner to Canada
Neal is shooting 32% two point shots and 29% from 3 and of course being the ball-hogging chucker that he is, only has 4 assists after 6 games in these playoffs yet he continues to pile up minutes off the bench. It's at the point where the guy should only be seeing minutes out of desperation and garbage time. He's just a major liability on the floor right now.
It's what we have. With Tony struggling to run any semblance of our offense, Pop goes with the guys he feels that give him offense: Bonner and Neal. I actually expect even more extended minutes for them.
Get Curry to guard Tony by doing pick and rolls with whoever Curry is guarding whether it be Kawhi or Manu or green. Spurs need to attack Curry more and make him play more defense then just letting him sit on Kawhi and Danny.
We also have TMAC and he's been with the team for over two weeks already. How much worse can he be than Neal, who is basically the only Spurs player who doesn't stick to the team's gameplan and freelances anyways? Tmac can freelance and still say he's a better shooter than Neal.
:corn
Doesn't know the system (tm)
T-Mac also gives you length and can play within himself. He can post at the PG spot and come off a screen to a pop up elbow jumper, step outside and hit a 3 or penetrate and dish since he has passing skills. Length will help. Gary can shoot but that mother er doesn't care at what expense.
Yeah but Neal doesn't really play to the system, either, that's my point.
Hit shots
I'm still befuddled why we're still sending help to TP out there. Let Barnes and all other scrubs beat us instead of Thompson/Curry lighting it up.
I'm wondering if Pop will resort to TMAC on Friday, at least early minutes in the 2nd quarter?
