A- to Neal?????????????
A to Duncan is fair enough, his defence in the 4th wasn't that good.
Agree with all others
Tim Duncan A+
Monstrous effort. Carried the Spurs on his back for long stretches of the game. Amazing on the boards.
Manu Ginobili C
No energy. Seemed fatigued to the point that it was difficult for him to create. Very un-Manu-like.
Tony Parker B
Solid on defense. Took care of the ball. Had great stretches but wasn’t consistent.
Danny Green C
Shot well but his defense was lacking, didn’t rebound and made a few costly mental errors.
Gary Neal C-
Shot was off. Selection of shots was below average. Defense was definitely below average.
DeJuan Blair F
Simply horrible in all aspects of the game. It really looks like he’s injured or otherwise not 100%
Boris Diaw D
Utah dared him to score and he didn’t really take advantage. No rebounds and lackluster D.
Tiago Splitter B-
Defense was a roller-coaster. More physicality would have helped. Offense was mostly a positive.
Matt Bonner B-
Quiet in his seven minutes of plays. Hustle and rebounding remain his main strengths right now.
Nando De Colo C-
Again lost a ton of usefulness due to being unable to create plays when pressured.
Patrick Mills A-
Entered the game in the second half and provided instant offense and a dosage of adrenaline.
Cory Joseph Inc.
Surprisingly played some minutes in the first half. Didn’t do much to move the needle.
Pop C
His mad scientist ways are going overboard. Random usage of his deep bench doesn’t accomplish much.

Gary Neal D+ at best
wondering how much Mo's last second shot changed these grades, tbh... Danny is an instant B+ I assume...
tim duncan is a bonafide scrub stat padding for the law of avgs...
htf 18pts first half and only 4 pts only in the 2nd half
11 rebds heading into 4th quarter, grabs 10 in the final quarter
not happy with the pathetic offense going away from the hot hand of duncan...
just one of those games
spurs came out flat and jazz were hitting everything
jefferson probably hit more 18+ shots then his entire team combined
spurs didnt get out and defend the transition
1/3 of jazzfan points came from transition
25 of the 75 at one point
jazz celebrating like they won the o'brien should is a testament to how good the spurs are tbh
i doubt they do that when they beat the clevelands of the world
spurs have been ting on the jazz for so long
i think that was jeffersons first career win vs duncan if im not mistaken
good thing a game is tomorrow to forget about this
spurfan has to remember that we will lose at least 15 more games this season
also have to add is blair the first F youve given out this season
and i thought splitter was pretty good outside of keeping his hands up on defense
hes actually been to good at doing that in the past to where he wouldnt contest shots and just stick his hands up
now he never has them up and contests to late
Timmy with 22pts/21reb/6blk with only 1 foul and 1 turnover? Dayum.
Pop made a mistake by going back to Blair in the second quarter. And I really thought Splitter played well enough to be on the court in the final three minutes instead of Boris. Sadly a wasted effort by the great Tim Duncan.
I`ve got Duncan as honorable member of my fantasy team with my last pick. And he is 3rd best player in league, and making 80 fps.![]()
The most impressive thing is that he did it in only 33 minutes.
Timmy's the first player 35+ to go 20/20/5 since David Robinson in 2001.
We are fkn lucky for this longevity. We're not even supposed to be here tbh.
GOAT PF, tbh
I would've subbed Tony in for Manu or Neal instead of Mills at the end of the game. Ride on Mills' hot-hand for a couple more minutes and let's go from there, whether get Manu in or not. Granted, Neal did make a 3-pointer on Tony's assist. But it just didn't look like his night.
Nowadays the ball is in Tony's hands when he is on court, and since Manu cannot shoot and spread the offense (he was 2-3 for 3-pointers last night, but generally you don't feel he is confident with his shot), it's easier for the Jazz to play the defense.
Looks like Nando may be coming back to earth. His last two games certainly are not indicative of a promising back-up to TP. His overall shooting stats are nothing to write home about and it may be that other teams have figured out how to throw his passing game off through pressuring him. If that is the case, it looks like Neal is once again going to be our back-up PG. I love Mills game but, he will always be a scorer first and will never be a classic PG.
So many mistake in the 4th, very disappointing end of game, still feeling bad.
I wish Pop would allow Duncan/Splitter to close games more often
Well, we were due for a loss I guess; hopefully we can get it together for tonights game.
This. Especially last night, Diaw is not necessarily more suitable to cover either Millsap/Jefferson.
That's why Pop plays Mills with Ginobili. When they're on the court, Ginobili acts as the playmaker, and Mills the scorer. It's the perfect combination.
Looks to me that opposing teams finally got around to producing a scouting report on DeColo
Agreed....but why did Pop put him with Neal the other night? That was a disaster!!
