Well that 4th quarter defense was decent other than Jefferson going off for a stretch.

[Kidd K]

Parker shutting it down to close it out!

[timtonymanu]

Duncan seriously needs some help. Splitter needs to grow a pair.

[Ice009]

This team needs to learn how to ing dunk the ball instead of laying it up like gots.

Oh well, most people didn't want Curry. Bonner and Splitter both suck. I'd like to trade both of them. If the Cavs want to give us AV for him, I'd do that trade immediately, but Cleveland probably isn't interested.

Splitter has been disappointing and it looks like people around the NBA think so too. Here is a report on him from an NBA scout.

Tiago Splitter – Expectations were higher when he came than he’s been able to live up to. A solid NBA player who is exactly what he’s meant to be: a backup who can play some solid minutes. Not always productive; just a rebounder whose game hasn’t translated to NBA well. Not a shot blocker but loves to bang in the post.

Interesting fact: We are now off to the best start in 4 years since 2007-2008. Not bad!

[Reck]

LMAO those Utah announcers thought they still had a chance to win this game down ten with less than a minute to play.

[DapDaGenius]

I'm REALLY looking forward to the write up on this game.

[DAF86]

We're a top 3 team in the league, tbh.

[ElNono]

The Favors highlights are all scores over Matty

[jesterbobman]

Bench was still concerning with the lack of toughness and Splitter's soft finishing. But the work of the starting 5 was really good.

Thanks a terrible scouting report on Splitter, tbh.

[DapDaGenius]

Wait.................did Kawhi really make every shot?

[TMTTRIO]

Don't expect much out of Manu this year. I see him more as a role player this year who plays very limited minutes.

[Sa_Spursfan20]

Good win fellas. Strong play from Duncan tonight. Loved Kawhi and Green's intensity well. Onto the next one!

[jesterbobman]

Spurs starting wings had 34 points on 14 FGA. Mental.

[Brazil]

Leonard with 100% FG and 100% FT for 13 pts

[LakerHater]

[Brazil]

Richard Jefferson is on nba tv !

[Mugen]

Tiago's disappointed me so far because i had such high hopes for him. But it's early in season and he's still one of the best backup bigs in the league.

Hopefully manu's return gets him going.

[ace3g]

good to see Green start to attack the basket instead of settling on 3s in certain situations. Also had some nice cuts to the basket

[DapDaGenius]

The Favors highlights are all scores over Matty

lol, sadly they had to put in one where Favors dunked over Duncan for the highlights on the NBA website.

[timtonymanu]

Bonner - 19 minutes. Still too much.

[Boomersgold]

Bonner - 19 minutes. Still too much.

Guys, can someone explain this to me?
Patty Mills and Dejuan Blair have 2 mediocre games and are benched. Matt Bonner plays bad, doesn't contributed anything when he plays and is still getting a huge amount of minutes (10-15 per game).
How is this fair?

[elemento]

poor DB still in the doghouse.

[naico]

BTW, Favors keeps intruiging. If there is one piece that could make this team complete, he could be that guy.
