Game 24: Spurs @ Clippers -- Monday, Dec 16, 9:30PM (CST)

Ya surprising, how bad Spurs looked and down only 6

[007nites]

i'm not worried about the 2nd half at all as long as popovich stops experimenting. that's the only reason we are down right now due to popovich's shiity subs utions and game managing, but we have gotten used to it by now.

Shaking my head at having Errors close the 2nd instead of Diaw or Splitter

[Cry Havoc]

Maybe Baynes will get some PT now...

[itzsoweezee]

I really do not get Popovich's rotations. I have no idea what the guy is thinking.

[Boomersgold]

Bench sucks , this we know. And by bench I mean when all 5 players on the court for the Spurs are bench players.

The Starters were on....

[DPG21920]

Blake Griffing 70+% FG & 80+% FT in the first half. Murdering the Spurs tbh..

[HarlemHeat37]

Clippers' 2 biggest flaws at the moment: their perimeter defense and their bench..

- Spurs need to keep going with Leonard and Ginobili, while getting good perimeter looks for Beli..

- Spurs can't take advantage of LA's bench if Ayres is out there, unfortunately..Bonner needs minutes in the 2nd half IMO, it would make a big difference..

[Libri]

It looks like Manu is super-motivated to make SJax lose.

If only that was the case with Green

[Budkin]

16-0 run and only down 6? I'll ing take that.

[Chomag]

Less Green and Ayers will = a win

[ElNono]

If you mean the score ended up ok, yes. If you mean they played good basketball, no.

yeah, I mean the score considering that 2nd quarter

We never do.

Ayres sucks but the bench is one of the best in the league.

And Ayres randomly subs in.

CP3 taking MVparker to school

I'm convinced at this point that you actually don't even watch the games. There's no other explanation for having takes that are this bad.

we went from being up 10 to giving up a 19-0 run. just like that and he didn't even call a time out. as soon as he puts the starters back in, we start dominating again. wtf man..

[Boomersgold]

Bellineli's the best bench player in the league. It's not even close.

[bklynspursfan]

Spurs will get more calls in the 2nd half. That's just how it works.. Clips fans will boo, Doc will yell and CP3 will whine lol. Blake was getting some bogus calls, Duncan drives in and gets no call, Parker not getting any love either. I'm pretty sure they'll take better care of the ball too

Ayres sucks but the bench is one of the best in the league.

best bench that lost all the momentum and gave up a 7-0 run?

[SpurSwag]

I usually don't hate on our players but what skillset does ayers provide at all?

[Johnny RIngo]

Pretty sure by now, even Pop knows the front office made a mistake signing Ayres to a guranteed two year deal. Hope they fire that assistant from Indiana. er doesn't know about player evaluation.

[Fireball]

both teams looked bad for 1 quarter ...

[bklynspursfan]

I usually don't hate on our players but what skillset does ayers provide at all?

Pretty good rebounder. OK defender at that position

[Boomersgold]

best bench that lost all the momentum and gave up a 7-0 run?

No, Best bench that is among the top 3 in scoring, leads the league in assists and has an overall +5 +/- when they're on the floor.
