Take a look at Splitters stats for tonight. Nice.
do you think paul george is not where he is today without the piece of granger always injured, which allowed him more touches?
that could apply to anyone on the spurs, but KL is a 2 way player who has a wider skillset being force to play spot up shooter only?
Players win championships not coaches. We will always be #1 in the west, but we will never get to the finals unfortunately because we don't have superstars. Thats the sad reality..
Quit stalling timvp. We want quick grades.
I kid
this team is really easy to be a fan of. I haven really felt this good since the Miami loss.
You picked a of a game to enlighten us with this revelation tbh.
I understand that Ginobili has regressed but Parker and Duncan are easily in top 5 for their respective positions in the NBA. If by superstars you mean Kevin Durant and Lebron James, then no, we don't have superstars.
this. it's why I wasn't sweating this game beforehand. I have enough confidence in our system, in our ability to find the right guys and develop them, that I know we'll always be giving teams problems. Tonight was truly exceptional though, it shows how well this group of pieces go together and also that Kawhi could be an all star soon.
Right, because comparing Danny Granger to Tony, Tim, and Manu is something a sane, logical person with the bare minimum of basketball knowledge would do.
What a quality win.
No way you could expect a better performance from the team the Spurs had on the floor tonight.
It was nice to see Kawhi, Leonard and Green step offensively and the role players really did their jobs.
The system and the selflessness really stand out in this current NBA climate of egos, drama and dysfunction.
Yes, I'm proud to be a Spurs fan!
Umm sure the Spurs won tonight, GREAT win, but have you ever heard of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, Manu? You can't just plug anyone in and keep winning at the same clip. The system is good, but the system alone won't keep any group of players at the top.
Jesus, some of you guys don't seem to remember that we were pretty close to reaching the NBA Finals; it's not like OKC categorically whooped our butts. Let's be real, is there any one person we could realistically acquire at this point that would for sure improve our chances at winning a le? This woe-is-us at ude every time we fail to come out on top on every stat line even when we win by 15+ is just stupid. We beat a good team...with our bench. Enjoy it.
did i compared granger to the 3 tosb? i was talkin about different environment scenarios...granger was first option on the pacers and now just a tosb behind paul, he made the most of it when granger was out injured
to say kl cant improve if the 3 tosb wasnt in his way is bull
I love this team too, there's nothing else like the Spurs in all of sports
Spurs frontcourt choices were somewhat limited tonight but there was really no reason to stay small and keep going with bonner
if there was ever a game to let Baynes get any minutes it was tonight
Bulls have been the best team in the nba for the past 3 years at consistently defending the 3 point line
Bonner got one shot off from the 3 but had his foot on the line
the rest of the time he got ran off and put up terrible hook attempts or lost his dribble and had to be bailed out after almost losing the ball
0 rebounds in about 20 minutes
and OKC found the one thing to do to stop the spurs offense which was switch the pick and roll
and the bigger defender on parker
it would be interesting to see how the spurs were defended if noah wasnt playing heavy minutes on a bad foot
last years game vs chicago made me believe they were the best defensive team in the nba at the time
they were the only team who contested about every shot including Tims midrange shots
Are you trolling or just stupid?

Solid win for sure.
Rebounding may be a bit of an issue though.
Great ing god some of you drooling, finger painting re s.
Best win of the year.
That argument just doesn't translate across teams. Kawhi is successful because he isn't asked to do too much. Sure, you can give him some extra touches to capitalize on his skills, but go beyond a certain amount and you jeopardize team chemistry. Same reason Manu comes off the bench and doesn't start. Dude could put up 25 a game easily, but he doesn't for the sake of Pop's system.
It's so great being a Spurs fan... we are truly blessed.
The Spurs execute like no other team in the NBA. They will come out of the West. Book it!
This. Even if (gasp) we don't win a le this year, this is a beautiful brand of basketball we are privileged to watch on a nightly basis regardless of personnel.
but the TOSBs aint goin anywhere...
i'm happy i was able to make it home to watch the second half. I've been waiting for a game like this from Kawhi for awhile, just an amazing breakthrough performance, plus seeing how the whole team adapted and kept on rolling was amazing to watch. Probably my favorite game of the season, with the Miami game no. 2 and the opening win over OKC as 3. gotta love the culture and compe iveness of this team.
