    If the Spurs have the best bench in the NBA with Marcu, Mills, Bonner, Baynes, why do they still lose to decent teams?

    Easy. Because we also have a unit called "the starters", and how they play will also affect the game.

    Last game against the Pacers:
    Player +/-
    Duncan -18
    Parker -18
    Leonard -25
    Splitter +6
    Green -16

    Not saying that our Bench played well. Just pointing out that our starters didn't exactly play well.

    The bench is pretty weak defensively, all the defense is in the first unit, the rotation is very unbalanced... The bench got owned by OKC's bench, every year we hear it's the best but it's not all that...

    Manu 33 turnovers in 19 games, which means 1,79 turnovers per game, Turnobili? What about Parker? 46 turnovers in 18 games, which means 2,55 turnovers per game. ParkOVER?

    I do understand what you are saying, but 1,75 turnovers per game IS THAT BAD? COME ON, LEARN SOME BASKETBALL. If you think 1,75 turnovers per game is bad, then almost all players in the NBA should retire tbh.

    Tiago doesn't even dribble the ball and you say that. I would never think that.

    "Decent" teams? They lost to 4 of the best teams in the league, granted none of them great teams, and each loss was predictable given cir stance and opponent, except maybe that Rockets game which was 50-50 and was winnable. The bench has shooting power but not much muscle. Green is a starter but I consider him bench talent and his play has stunk for the most part.
