21-2 run? wtf went wrong???
Come on, having Vaughn, Finley, and Oberto out on the court at the same time is a recipe for success[/Pop]
rebound
We suck, that's why.
Anyone that thought the Spurs wouldn't go through scoring droughts needs their head examined. The difference is that the Spurs scored 78 points and still had a chance to win the game. The Spurs team that came out at the beginning of the season would have lost this game by 30.
Besides, it's rebounding that cost the team tonight. Everyone was pretty weak.
this happens when we are at full strength so is anyone surprised?
a few mistakes by Hill was enough for Pop to send in JV for the rest of the 4th Q
and the result?
we could barley buy a basket
Because the roster is NBDL-level after Duncan and Mason when TP and Manu are out. Hence, the need for Marbury if he gets bought out.
Wrong. Mason and Fin were the backcourt for the end of the game. JV played about a minute in the fourth. The shooters could "barley" generate an attempt.
ahh you were right about JV
mason and Fin were the backcourt along with Hill during the bucks run until JV came in for a min in the 4th
Yeah, a few jumpers and Pop fell back in love with Fin to the point that he didn't pull him when he stopped playing defense.
And sorry for overreacting.
Hey no problem.
But then again, the starter of this thread was right on. Our defense was ok tonight but scoring 16 and 19 in the third and fourth quarter is unacceptable. I would much rather see Hill penetrating to the rim the JV taking step back jumpers.
It was small ball and rebounding that killed us tonight. Pop should have had either Oberto or Tolliver in at the end of the game. The Spurs were stagnant in the fourth and Timmy couldn't box out both Mbah a Moute and Bogut. Bogut ended up with 17 boards, 17! Ridiculous.
But like I mentioned in another post, the Spurs allowed 31 points in the first half, and allowed 29 in the 4th quarter, so it still seems to be the defense that failed them (or the abandonment of defense). I have much less problem seeing Vaughn play one minute in the 4th quarter than I do Hill getting no time in the last seven minutes, even when the Spurs need to defend an inbounds pass with 3 seconds to go.
Really not sure why Pop elected to go small.
He made a lot of very questionable decisions tonight.
yes you are right that it was the defense that fail them tonight especially the 21-2 run
But facing a handicap Bucks team that plays below the avg D and not scoring more than 80 points is ridiculous. Our defense could be better tonight but playing powerhouse team like Rockets..scoring 80 points is not enough even if we play better D
?? This team has trouble scoring; weren't you watching during the last year? Now you're putting the Spurs without Parker or Ginobili up against a healthy Rockets team and complaining? Please.
The Spurs shouldn't be expecting to come in on the second night of a back to back on the road and run people out of the gym; I'm not sure why you would be.
The Spurs played 1.75 games of good defense with this crew. Yeah, closing it out tonight would have been nice, but how you fail to be encouraged by the defensive effort is puzzling.
No I am quite encouraged by our defensive effort tonight
our D was great especially in the fi rst half. But while Bucks was making a run no one was able to put the ball in the basket except TD. Why not give Farmer a shot?
I am not expecting Spurs to come in and run people out of the gym but hey, Bucks had a back to back as well. Might as well play with some desperateness.
Finley and Mason had three shots between them in the 4th quarter. It's hard to put the ball in the basket when you aren't even shooting. I'd much rather have had Hill in there to play defense and fight for rebounds. As poorly as they shot in the game, the Spurs scored enough points to win if they didn't give up 34 points in the last 13 minutes of the game. , securing two more rebounds would probably have done it.
Tolliver was in for the last three minutes or so if I remember right. Oberto got maybe a minute of PT in the fourth...
Bucks went to the line 25 times while we went only 9
The shots were pretty even between the teams 75 and 74 respectively.
My point is that our O needs to be more aggressive. Doesn't matter if that means injecting Farmer to the game or Hill.
Some people will no matter what, even though it was a b2b.
