Game 61: Heat at Spurs, a Dish Best Served Cold: 7 PM CT, March 6, 2014

There has never been a player in the NBA who can accomplish as much as Boris while expending so little energy.

It's like he rolls out of bed and then walks onto the court.

The Spurs are the only team in the west that could beat Miami in a 7 game series.

This is so true, I just fear OKC.

Very happy with tonight's game, Parker didn't have the goods after the 1st quarter but he still drew defenders which helped open the game up.. kawhi starting to take more shots in the flow of the game which is good just needs to knock them down.. Great defense, Patty with that change of pace and good ball movement all around, and quietly Tim just does work.

Now if Daye could actually do that in the Ayres role that would be so great.. truly spreading the floor.

PJ Carlesimo is making excuses for Lebron saying he's tired and the mask is getting to him. LOL. STFU up PJ, he's 29 and scored 61 on Monday. Even the ESPN anchor called him out on that excuse. TP and Kawhi can make excuses too that they're still trying to round into form.

I thought you were saying he played bad just because it was the Heat, so I said what's the excuse for the game vs Cavs. Thats the only reason I brought it up.

Ya I got it. I was just saying against Miami he tried, not sure he tried against cavs that's why cavs IMO is not relevant.

Gerald Green has 38 points and is 8/11 from the 3 point line!

[RD2191]

I know Rob's game. We're both eternal pessimists. Defense mechanism tbh. Supers ion that if you are positive it'll jinx the team.

This is true.

[Cry Havoc]

Except he didn't replace Neal... Beli did.

Which is fine. People aren't comparing Beli to Neal though, they're comparing Patty. You're right that Beli is a better comparison (and also a significant upgrade) to Neal.

[RD2191]

Come on Suns

He's right tbh. OKC would get wrecked again. Only problem is ANY team in the West can lose as early as the first or second rounds...

[DatBoyGood]

Phoenix beatin OKC!

[Cry Havoc]

Morris just humiliated The Servant.

[Brazil]

Good win Spurs.

Spurs better be thankful Diaw is a better point guard than Parker.

Or they'd lose many games, including this one.

Spurs are lucky as all get out to get a player of Diaw's value in buyout. Unreal.

no Parker no Diaw so you better be thankful Parker is a spurs

They gotta spin that .. Spurs team ball is not the way the league wants teams to win.. they have to have that superstar that they can market to fan boys and children and the asian market who need a larger than life figure to sell too

Well yeah, we beat them in 6 last year tbh.

[SpurPadre]

Except he didn't replace Neal... Beli did.

And Beli is an upgrade over Neal in every aspect.

[RD2191]

Sick and tired of all these "player" fans. Who the cares if Parker had a bad game? Spurs need to play team ball to win it all. People like to say that I ain't a real fan but at least I root for the entire team. Mills has made me eat crow lately and I'm glad it happened. Root for the TEAM, player fans.

[Brazil]

I'll take that as a compliment

thats one

[ace3g]

Agreed. He's been aggressive.

I just wish he'd be given a chance like Ayers has been given repeatedly.

Well Ayres hand injury might be a blessing in disguise for Daye.

I'm not getting ahead of myself because Daye still has to prove himself defensively but he has potential in the Spurs system, more so than Ayres because he doesn't have confidence in his mid range jumper.

[Mikeanaro]

Thats because Patty is awesome

Hornacek has to be COY. Gerald Green was a D-League scrub just last season.

Daye has a 1% chance to see playoff minutes.

This and Pop made that mistake which I will never understand. One of the al time great rebounders is not on the floor when one rebound probably ends the game. But that is the past.

Great en win by dem Spurs.
Parker with the hot start.
KL with a AMAZING job on defense.
Duncan anchoring the middle.
Diaw with a quietly effective job on both ends.

The Pop system resurrecting Daye.

Which is fine. People aren't comparing Beli to Neal though, they're comparing Patty. You're right that Beli is a better comparison (and also a significant upgrade) to Neal.

Exactly. Beli has better offensive awareness, handles, passer, cutter and at the other end, he's better at staying with his man and hustles to the best of his limited defensive ability.
