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

[TheGoldStandard]

No small ball and no Bonner and Neal. We'll win this

[moisaenz]

When was the last time Neal hit a contested shot?

[Supreme_Being]

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

Oh you know, because they space the floor.

[LittleCriminal]

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

They dont contribute to the defense either..

[spurspokesman]

Splitter went is worth about 8-9 mil in the reg season and 2 mil in the playoffs. Spurs better not think about resigning this softy.

[EVAY]

Duncan is getting beat up badly...even the announcers notice it, but Ken Mauer and staff don't seem to care.

[Budkin]

Pop better get these guys to understand what's at stake here.

[TDfan2007]

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

Where's the hustle and intensity?

I have to agree. Our frontline has played soft all night, including Timmy. That second quarter was pathetic defensively.

[Budkin]

Duncan is getting beat up badly...even the announcers notice it, but Ken Mauer and staff don't seem to care.

Probably because he's boring.

[Bill_Brasky]

When was the last time Neal hit a shot?

Fixed.

[100%duncan]

They dont contribute to the defense either..

That's my point. They are in defensive liabilities but get playing time because they should contribute on the O. Those 2 give nothing but headache.

[playblair]

Keys to the second half

• Do not play Bonner
• playblair

word.......................

[Mugen]

The Warriors are a hungry, tough-minded team tbh. Gonna take a monster 2nd half from the Spurs to win this game.

[DPG21920]

Their role players are playing so far above their heads. Hopefully it stops. GS is forcing Tim to best them & he's faltering. Spurs forcing Barnes/Jack to best them & they are stepping up. Has to change. But tip of the hat to GS. Playing great.

[Spurs21Fan4Ever]

Duncan is getting beat up badly...even the announcers notice it, but Ken Mauer and staff don't seem to care.

Stern hates Duncan, is that surprising?

Remember when Pop was getting creamed by spurs fans because he didn't play Splitter enough in the playoffs? Remember that?

Think maybe Pop knew something we didn't?

[timtonymanu]

Pop better get these guys to understand what's at stake here.

Again, so does he. That Bonner/Neal lineup really killed the Spurs' momentum.

[blkroadrunners]

Spurs will be fine.

[jestersmash]

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

Yeah it's borderline unusable. Quick posting takes like 2 or 3 minutes as well, and it sometimes leads to double posts.

[ajballer4]

When was the last time Neal hit a contested shot?

Whens the last time he hit a shot, period?

[Horse]

It's good they cut into the lead now Pop has something to talk about at halftime and they can refocus. Timmy just needs a little rest he'll be fine. I like Parker being aggresive and Manu as a playmaker can be the difference. Eventually their role players will play like role players. jack and barnes scored but they were defended well and hit low percentage bad shots especially barnes and jack had a hand in his face every shot he's just a luck chuck mother er always has been.

[LittleCriminal]

Time to give Mills or Tmac a try...

[100%duncan]

I don't know how Pop can think Blair can be worse than Bonner at this point tbh or Tmac over neal

[RD2191]

Why hasn't anyone cussed me out yet? tf is going on around here.

[Gagnrath]

Please don't put Bonner back on the floor, Only play neal if both Timmy and Splitter are on the floor for rim protection.

Timmy is feeling bogut and landry having a free pass to shove and hack. Not saying put in blair but you might have to. Send Diaw in feed splitter on the pick and roll.
