Just watched the replay. Patty (not so)'small minutes' Mills really is a crowd fav. TD run up into the stand, wow, how good was that?
Kevin Durant is a vampire, that's his scout right there.Does the bat get a grade?

Thankfully the stairs were there after Boozer pushed him ... I cringe every time Timmy tries to prevent falling on the floor because he might put too much stress on his knee ...
the second half rotation mainly with Tiagoo at the pivot was the best move POP made from the first half. Defense stepped up at the same time. Great defense lead to great offense.
We really need to trade for a competent, experienced backup big. The only way that I see us being able to compete with the backup big men of the top NBA teams is if either Duncan or Splitter play some minutes with the bench.

lots of dunks in this game, more than usual
im not so sure .. Don't get me wrong . Having Diaw out there again was comforting and the offense had a new dynamic but that second half was the first time in a long time Pop had gone back to Tiago or Tim staying at the center spot when subbing.Not a word about Diaw's defense? I think this was one of the main aspects that helped turn this game around
I don’t agree with this grade. He played awful. As soon as he entered the game the Bulls started coming back. He missed open shots.
Either Jackson and Blair get a higher grade, or Bonner has to get a D.
I think Green played well, agree with the grade, I think teams are starting to pay attention to him.
We should have Tim or Tiago out there at all times, its that simple. I mean if they're playing together, its great. If Tiago is paired with Boris, thats fine. If Tim is paired with Boris, I'm fine. Same with Blair, Bonner if necessary. But to have turd towers or Diaw with one of them is unacceptable. We need rim protectors. Unless Pop is planning on giving Baynes minutes (not likely this season) we can't afford to rest Tim and Tiago together against playoff teams
And Nando?
Anyone sort of get the feeling that Pop wanted to rest Diaw for the game, which is why he was out of the rotation in the first half? He looked rusty when he got the call in the second half but after that awkward floater went in he seemed to really get engaged.
I have to agree. Even with low expectations for Bonner, his negative impact on the game in every way was tangible. I believe the word that came to mind while watching was "disastrous". When the king of plus minus manages to be ten points behind the second worst guy on the team, you know he royally the bed.
He looks fine to me.
I see what you did there....
I heard that bat was looking for Baynes.
Kawhi > Deng in head to head matchups this year.
Through 2 games:
Leonard: 17-27, 40 PTS, 11 REB, 2 AST, 1 TO, +/- +33
Deng: 12-30, 30 PTS, 18 REB, 4 AST, 5 TO, +/- -20

Kawhi is dunking with his left hand effortless, it's so freaking nice to see it.
I haven't checked the scorebox, but Cojo looked good to me. He can bring the ball and initiate the offense without much problem, even with pressure on him. He has good ball-handling skills and his defense always looks good, against small/quick guards (like Nate or Teagye) or against bigger guards (Marco).
In my opinion he defended Belineli better than Green and Manu in the 2nd half.
His jump-shot still needs some work, but I like what I see so far. The time he spent with the Toros paid dividends and I am very happy about it.
I think Tiago struggles a bit to defend 4s that can shoot the mid-range. OKC explored Splitter a lot by setting pick & pop plays with Westbrook/Ibaka against Tiago and Chicago did the same. He doesn't look really comfortable guarding players outside the post. Depending on the matchup, I think Pop will have to pair Boris with Timmy. I think Boris played really well and did an outstanding job defending Boozer.
As for Ginobili, he committed some silly turnovers but he took over the game, so I can't complain. It was vintage Manu Ginobili. I hope Parker's injury is a blessing in disguise and I hope we can see this type of Manu in the playoffs.
Overall I liked the game. The only disgusting part was watching the lead disappearing with the Turd Towers in only a few minutes. Our opponets see Matt Bonner as a huge avenue to be explored. It seems funny to say it, but it looks like Bonner is a boost that our opponents need to play better. Don't wanna see his face in the playoffs 1 single second seriously.

I don't know if I was the only one...
but I got a little nervous and saw the Spurs season flash before my eyes when Timmy ran into the stands...
then he remained on his feet and ran back out on the court - and I let out a sigh of relief.
Putting Matt Bonner in the game is like putting a lit match next to severely dry brush that's been soaked with gasoline, everyone gets burned. The biggest obstacle with the Spurs in the post season will be Pop beating Pop. Let's start the #LetBonnerSit campaign.
Spurs have Baynes, but Pop still playing Bonner/Blair. Hopefully Pop will not play the turd towers in the playoffs, 3 bigs rotation is good enough
Why is it so difficult for some of us fans to accept that the best Coach in the business may just know more about his team than we do?
its started in the Kings game and is a recurring theme so far ... Spurs also seem to get other kinds of fast breaks without TP on the court
A+ for the bat. Even brought a smile to the players. Big Will had the Dream finger shake for Manu to leave it alone. LOLDoes the bat get a grade?
In defense of Bonner it was SJax and Manu who had 3 quick turnovers that lead to the Bulls scoring. Maybe you should watch game closer.
