LMAO Spurs only up 7 without Harden... Wow.

Spurs missing 3 starters.

[ElNono]

I don't love the sites I use for stats tbh..maybe I need to try NBA.COM/STATS more.

Basketball-ref, 82games, & Hoopdata aren't cutting it for me.

nba.com/stats is actually pretty good now... the interface is a little heavy/sluggish though, IMO

[HarlemHeat37]

Have to assume that Parsons gets more looks in the 2nd half, and he shouldn't have any problems against much shorter Spurs defenders, tbh..

[RD2191]

I thought Duncan was 37?

[ElNono]

Pop needs to give TD some rest... play Baynes on Dwight

[Floyd Pacquiao]

Diaw has been pretty damn solid this game. hope he can stay out foul trouble, spurs need his scoring punch and playmaking ability since a bald headed argie decided not to show up again.

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop probably slipped Ayres the sausage and forgave him

[freetiago]

Parsons isnt that great creating off the dribble
hes more spot up shooter who will look to pass when he penetrates
Duncans rim protection has been elite tonight so as long as they stick to Parsons and force him into his non-existent mid range game he could be held in check

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs missing 3 starters.

Still have their superstars.

[313]

We would be up by at least 20 if the threes were falling

[TheGoldStandard]

Pop needs to give TD some rest... play Baynes on Dwight

Ayres it is and bon bon

[DPG21920]

Ya - Spurs really only have a shot right now because Dwight isn't even bothering to try on defense. TP got good looks, but missed a few layups so that should correct itself if Dwight won't try.

Scary thing is Dwight isn't trying and we still can't separate. That's with Dwight not trying and HOU playing as dumb as possible offensively (beli guarding parsons..).

[ElNono]

I wanna see more from Tony... there used to be a time where he would lit up Lin every time... haven't seen it this game... he's the leader of this team, it's time he starts really dominating his matchup

[BatManu20]

I thought he passed Russell a week or two ago? The list I saw(from Elias Sports Bureau) had Russell at 780.

Just checked. It's 785 for Russell. Karl Malone is next with 811.

[Johnny RIngo]

More interesting possibilities tonight: Tim Duncan has a chance to be the only 38+ year old to post a 20/20 game.

He will be the only player over 36 not named Parish to have a 20-20 game. And he'll be doing it at 38.

Couple things. Duncan's 37 years old, not 38. Also, he already had a 20-20 game this season. And I wouldn't get too worked up over 10-10 at the half. TD had 17/16 against the Hawks after three quarters, a few days ago, and he sat all of the fourth.

[RD2191]

[DPG21920]

TP worked hard to get the big lead, then the bench came in with no assists, a turn over and sub 30% FG.

[RD2191]

[TheGoldStandard]

These are the Spurs I know

[DPG21920]

Did Pop start Manu this half? Why are the Spurs coming out so bad?

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs suck lmao

[ElNono]

You can't leave your guy open in the corner Tony... you just kent do stuff like that against the Rockets

[Roger Freemason Jr.]

Tony is frustrating to watch right now.

[DPG21920]

Look, missing 3 starters (even with Harden out) is tough. Do what you can to beat a good team on the road.

[DapDaGenius]

We play so good.
