Game 16: Spurs @ Magic: Fri. Nov 29 6:00 PM, Parker out with ankle turn

[Mugen]

Nando/Matt/1st rounder for Afflalo tbh.

Don't really care about differential here, but do about points against. Just a good indicator of the state of the defense.

But this is one of the many ways that Pop's management of starter's minutes and games impacts not only their individual stats (so they don't stack up as well against some of their counterparts because they play less, etc. etc.) but the team stats as well. Had Pop left the first team or even the second team on the floor longer, the point differential would have been different and the points against would likely be lower than they were playing the third string for a good portion of the last quarter.

Again, it is a view to Pop's "larger view" or "longer view" that has to be taken into account when assessing these kinds of stats.

I agree that the third stringers skew the numbers... but still, if even with third stringers you're under 90 or low-90s, you're doing something well...

Plus if you care enough, you can break down the points allowed per the different lineups out there and get a better view...

Wow Marco +23 and 4/4 from 3 pt range scoring 19 pts tonight!!

Got the annoying Rockets tomorrow so good getting this win.

[keywester]

Screw Poop for staring Cojo over Mills!! F the mind games, I hope Poop lives and dies by his mind games!!! Like last year, Poop is sure to lose it all. Thank goodness I live near Miami and can be a Heats fan if Poop is going to on Mills. If you don't like what I am saying...FU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dude he did that to keep the rotations right. It kept Patty playing with Manu and Marco. It was a good move

[PlayNando]

Should have started Nando. Nando = 3 assists/1 TO in 6 minutes..................

so far pop is only giving him garbage minutes in blowouts.

I understand that the Manu/Marco/Mills rotation works but Mills should get the start even if it is for a minute for the dedication and respect he gives to the Spurs.

Ehhhh I will take the win, all that other crap is irrelevant because you like the player etc. It worked.

[moisaenz]

keywester cares more about mills starting than mills himself.

Seriously just go root for another ing team. I like Patty Mills and welcome the Aussie fans (benfti, Boomersgold), but you guys need to understand the team revolves around more than just Patty Mills.

And this right here is why I won't take you seriously. GTFO bandwagon fan.

[BackHome]

A win is a win look on the bright side maybe Pop did that so we can package CoJo in a trade.

Fwiw in Australia "root" means to have sex, but otherwise I agree!

Interesting.

Harden back in, Lin out (sprained knee)

Harden back in, Lin out (sprained knee)

add a positive and remove a negative. Rockets have been looking scary lately ever since they stopped the twin towers experiment. Spurs 103-91.

The Spurs are undefeated when Nando plays. Coincidence?

Yes.

Tim looked great! (Ginobelli-Belinobili, too)


Kawhi's dunk on Vucevic=Kawhilights


CoJo has been added to "The Foreign Legion" last night.
