lack of want to
tonight no ball movement from bench or starters
no chemistry right now
pop used differerent lineups when people got hurt and people are still trying to adjust
no practice time
Parker. Parker again. And our wing scoring is utter right now. Not one wing player on this team seems capable of scoring 20 points, even Kawhi. I have no clue how they put 115 against the Clippers. Fluke .
Harder to decide what isn't wrong with this team tbh.
Elephant in the room: the 2014 Spurs were better in the playoffs when Parker was on the bench
Manu and Green have went downhill since Parker's return, the energy of the team has been awful, too..French Josh Smith..
Everything.
Start with Parker/patty
- Parker's presence
- Diaw/Splitter's decline
- Perimeter shooters have all gone cold
What's the over/under on the number of threads in which this is posted?
20?
Spurs were doing much better with Parker benched, Leonard was actually touching the ball, Parker was getting torched, he started off strong, then ended like , it was the beginning of the end.
Belli is garbage, too slow, no threat to score unless he's wide open, no threat to drive, it allows the defense to recover very easily, messes up the spacing etc. he's just a body out there, that's all I see, nothing special whatsoever. He's really dragging the team down along with TP, that horrible defensive duo.
Tony Parker, next question.
Obviously Parker is terrible. Arguably the worst starting PG in the league (and certainly the worst on any playoff team). Everything starts with that.
Kawhi just isn't a very good offensive player and for whatever reason they're defining his role as a postup/midrange SF in 2015
the "beautiful game" isn't working, teams are sitting back and letting us pass just to pass until there are 6 seconds left on the clock and we have to heave something up.
The defense has been bad hut that's largely a product of TP getting obliterated by every screen.
Pop is being straight up re ed with the lineups tbh. Baynes in the SL has been largely a disaster on both ends and he refuses to play Splitter or Mills significant minutes.
Parker the cancer, now everyone is infected. This season is done.
Fat and happy after 5. Glad they got it, because the run is over.
Wide open shots not falling
Parker and Kawhi (among others) have gone stone cold on offense
Inconsistent lineups
It really is a lot of 'want' and hustle... I'm watching LAC and MEM right now, and they're playing with purpose, intensity, going to the floor for lose balls... we're going through the motions...
They haven't hit critical mass yet. Seems like to me, on all of the championship DVD's I watch, there always seems to be this one defining moment in a season when something happens (a bad loss via last-second shot, a critical injury, a courageous effort, etc.) which someone on the team credits as the turning point. I remember an interview from 2003 when David was talking about Horry (I think) missing a shot that he would have normally made. He said something like, "That's when you know you're going to win the championship-when you start getting breaks like that." The team will be there. Too much pride not to. 27 games left to get it figured out is plenty of time.
I think whats NOT wrong with this team is the better question.
Mix a ton of complacency with a lack of chemistry, add a side of confusion and you have the recipe for the recent Spurs' woes. One gets the feeling Pop realizes TP isn't coming back this season. It's over for that dude and his struggles - at least for this year. Pop has a tough decision to make.
TP - is mentally and physically gone. He can't beat anyone off the dribble and that's the key to his game. Is it forever? I have no idea. I just know he hasn't looked right in a long, long time and its costing the team W's. He is setting a very ugly tone out there both offensively and defensively.
Tim - Remarkably, he looks pretty good.
Manu - looks done. Empty drives, missed FT's...its time for him to change his game. He needs to handle the ball less and become more of a spot up shooter.
Kawhi Leonard - doesn't look comfortable in the offense. Pop should go back to not running plays for him. He's not ready yet.
Patty Mills - Lack of confidence maybe? Im not sure what happened to his shot.
CJ - Gives you what he has and looks like the best PG on the roster at times.
Beli - Way too inconsistent but it may be because players are trying to do more than expected of their roles.
BoBo - Is most dangerous when the ball is being shared and moved around. Im not too worried about him for some reason. He'll come around.
Green - In a terrible slump and like the rest of the offense - seems lost.
Splitter - He's been a non-factor the whole season.
boredom
