Round 2, Game 5: Spurs vs. Warriors - May 14 @ 8:30 PM CT

Great blk green. Pop killed the spurs with bonner Neal.

Who is there to play tbh?

Only 2 or 3 guys play for the spurs tbbh.


ty play - no toughness and sense of urgency whatsoever which makes spurs soft

[Brunodf]

The only time the Spurs played well was with Diaw/Timmy.

[Chinook]

Pathetic when you need Danny Green to play a great half to stay in the game tbh.

He's become the team's most pivotal player. In the two games where he played out of his mind, the Spurs won. In the two where he lapsed, the Spurs lost.

[100%duncan]

If we could only play the starters, Manu and Diaw, we'd be okay, but every time we go to the deep bench (Neal, Bonner) we get killed. Gonna have to cross our fingers and hope for the best.

Don't forget CoJo.

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

2nd half Pop has to play 8 guys - starters, CoJo on Jack, Diaw and Manu. That's it. No-one else.

[Texas_Ranger]

Splitter and Neal look pathetic.

[HarlemHeat37]

- Duncan, Parker and Ginobili look terrible..

Duncan and Ginobili started off well early on, they both look horrible since..Parker's numbers are decent, but he's playing soft basketball, tbh, and making poor decisions..

- No more Bonner and Neal..keep Joseph and Diaw on the floor instead..

This has been the case all series long, both Bonner and Neal have been massive liabilities..the Spurs lost all momentum when Neal and Bonner entered the game, tbh..

Diaw looks great, he needs to play heavy minutes in the 2nd half..

- Hope the refs start calling ..

Warriors getting away with a lot, particularly illegal screens, as usual..just hope the refs start calling them, tbh..

- Keep Leonard and Green involved..

They have been the best Spurs tonight, hopefully they keep it up..

- Somebody inform Tiago Splitter that he's losing money at an alarming rate..

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

Don't forget CoJo.

Yup, added him.

We have 8 effective players, that's it.

[timtonymanu]

Pop better motivate these idiots in the dug out. And please release Bonner and Neal after this game.

IMO, Pop ed everything up when he put in Bonner and Neal. He got too cute with the lineup again and here we are.

[$pursDynasty]

We might have to take Kawai off of Thompson and put him on Barnes. We are locking down the Splash Brothers and still getting killed.

[Libri]

Keys to the second half

• Do not play Bonner

[polandprzem]

Splitter and Neal look pathetic.

And they play badly as well

[100%duncan]

He's become the team's most pivotal player. In the two games where he played out of his mind, the
Spurs won. In the two where he lapsed, the Spurs lost.

Yes and it's pathetic when you have to rely on him to make a big impact like a superstar.

[EVAY]

Spurs have done a good job on the two GS guards. Jack and Landry should not be able to play this well against us, and it doesn't look to me like we much care.

Leonard is playing pretty well, Green is playing pretty well. Duncan had a good 1st quarter and bad second.

[TheGoldStandard]

1st Quarter, yes 2 bigs and moving the ball around, 2nd quarter Pop pulls out his and decides to jack off with Bonner and Neal on the floor. Never really recovered from that. Haven't seen that lineup again tonight, just a bunch of jumpers and ISO .

[100%duncan]

IMO, Pop ed everything up when he put in Bonner and Neal. He got too cute with the lineup again and here we are.

his tbh. Don't know why he plays those s when they don't even contribute to our offense.

7 assists, 50% shooting and only 1 turnover in a half is not soft ball. Get over yourself.

Forum running slow as usual, way too many guests viewing.

[boutons_deux]

Spurs don't believe, and they don't want it bad enough.

Where's the hustle and intensity?

[jbspurs]

Who here wish double T on pop?

[RuffnReadyOzStyle]

If we lose this series it'll be the strangest series ever, because we are getting beaten by 2 role players in Jack and Barnes.

Time to fight like your basketball lives are on the line Spurs, because they are.

[Budkin]

We hit a load of 3s in the first and didn't in the second. That was about it.

[Nathan89]

Splitter, Neal, and Bonner is like have three Rj's on the team. Can these guys contribute something?

[timtonymanu]

his tbh. Don't know why he plays those s when they don't even contribute to our offense.

My only guess is that he wants to have his guys fresh for the 2nd half. Dumb strategy though. Go for the kill now and if the Warriors still end up coming back, tip your hat off to them.
