No way Spurs can be more focused than they were tonight and to be blown out means alot
I can't comprehend Splitter's inability to get rebounds vs. any team in the playoffs. Last I checked he was 6'11.
Most concerning thing is the Chalmers-Lebron pnr.
I think Splitter took off a step too far for the dunk that got blocked.
Lebron played poorly until garbage time and we out rebounded them, and we still got blown out.. not a good sign. Splitter provides almost nothing, and Manu is not Manu anymore, so basically it comes down to whether or not Tony and Tim can score 20+ points a game each, all our role players can hit their open looks, and we have to keep TO's down big time in order to have a chance. Game 3 is imperative.
i guess the only thing the spurs can do on the chalmers james pnr is to force a wide open chalmer mid range jumpshot
i cant come up with an answer
Might consider putting Green on Chalmers to help stop the pnr. We need to play Kawhi and Green more minutes to be as good as we can be defensively.
the one time he should've pump faked, he doesn't.
hmmm,that way spurs can switch and tp can hide on ray allen, just dont sag off too much tp

He is. Other than the Joseph cameo early in the 3rd, he played strictly an 8 man rotation until garbage time. And with Splitter continuing his playoff long Bargnani impression (and that's being generous; he might be even softer and less compe ive at the moment) and Diaw not doing much of anything, what choice does he have but to go small? Right now, their five best consists of one big and four smalls, plus it's easier to match up with the Heat, who are going to play small plenty either way.
If neither Splitter nor Diaw play with an ounce of intestinal for ude in their initial stint, then it's time to turn to Bonner again. Yeah, I know he'll have trouble getting a shot off against their defense, but I don't care. They need as much scoring as they can get and their is no low post scoring big for the Heat, so what value do Splitter and Diaw have right now, other than the former providing a semblance of rim protection when Duncan rests?
As far as adjustments, same one as game one jumps out: Post Duncan more.
@RealSkipBayless 1h LeBron is great in garbage time.
Kori has seen the future!
It was embarrassing tonight, The Spurs didn't show up but Danny Green did. Tim, Tony and Manu need to get a tongue lashing by Pop and Pop needs to reconsider all the playing time for Gary Neal. He hit some shots, but damn his defense during that stretch was piss poor. The only thoughts that I had is the Spurs need to make shots and be aggressive. Tim can't be fading away on the baseline and Tony can't be passive in the paint.
Our top players are starting 5+Manu/Diaw/Cojo.
Or they could just play more close games.
What are you talking about? Neal has taken Joseph's spot and they're down to eight.
i am talking about best players.Play the best players.
People need to calm down - what happened was possible so it isn't terrible. It was actually nice that the Spurs didn't lose by one but got blown out so they understand what they need to do 3 more times. That's all.
i think splitting the miami games is all we could have realistically asked for. iirc in the 2005 finals against detroit we got killed in games 3 and 4
Spurs need to win 2-3 at home. Go back at 3-2 with 2 shots.
I think the current approach to LeBron needs to change. The Spurs game plan has been daring the Heat role players to step up while getting the ball out of LeBron's hands as much as possible. Allen/Chalmers/Miller combined for 8 threes tonight. Maybe just have Kawhi play Lebron straight up, force him to take a lot of jumpshots, and stay home on the Miami shooters?
Yup, one of those losses was by 31 too. It's all about how you finish the series!
First team to win two in a row takes the series tbh.
people need to realize this isn't soccer. point differential doesn't matter
we can lose 3 games by a combined 100 but win 4 by a combined 10 and we're good.
