Game 68: Spurs vs Kings: Fri. Mar 21, 2014 9:00 PM

[ElNono]

damn Gino can't make a long ball tonight

[ElNono]

defense been great though

[DapDaGenius]

Kawhi's arms looked like they stretched.

Also, how the is Evans so bad with FT%? 52%?

[ElNono]

good 2nd quarter

[Raven]

47-37.. not bad

[jeebus]

someone might wanna text Manu to stop shooting the ing 3 ball so much

[Diego20]

Manu 0-5 of 3PG. Really bad..

[SpursFan86]

you're taking it out of the contest tbh, the bench 5 when all toghether, to me it's a ty lineup. f they are paired with at least one of the starters, well that's a whole different story..

But that's completely off-base.

The Mills-Belinelli-Ginobili-Ayres-Diaw lineup has a net rating of +15.4. That means they outscore the opposing team by 15.4 points per 100 possessions. That's insane for a bench.

There's literally no argument for our bench lineup being average, much less " ty".

reggie evans? he has always been an awful ft shooter.. or a shooter in general, dude is strictly a rebounder, always been.

[DapDaGenius]

LOL @ shooting 8% from the 3pt line

[EVAY]

This game would have been over in the first half had more of our guys gone to the rim more frequently. We look like we are afraid of getting hurt by this young, strong and athletic team, so we just sit back and shoot three after three after three.

Too much one-one-one basketball.

am i really being that hard to understand? i see it plenty of time, people just don't seem to understand the point i'm making even if it's properly written..

[DapDaGenius]

reggie evans? he has always been an awful ft shooter.. or a shooter in general, dude is strictly a rebounder, always been.

I know he's always been that way, I just want to know why. Only he could really answer that I guess.

[Arcadian]

I agree, I was thinking the same thing. Our 6-10 guys are very good for their roles, but when they're all playing at the same time (the "B team"), they look like...well, a B team.

[SpursFan86]

But I literally just disproved that theory. Unless you're counting Ginobili or Diaw as "starters", in which case, you're arguing that our 8th-11th best players aren't A-team level players...?

STOP THE PRESSES.

[Mel_13]

you speak like a team is forced to play the bench for half an hour a game.. and you said you don't agree with anything and now you agree that they are limited.. I just think playing that many players with limitations, makes us a lot more vulnerable and there is no need for that.

Yep, no need to play the bench. Especially, for 30 minutes a game.

Good grief.

[Raven]

I know he's always been that way, I just want to know why. Only he could really answer that I guess.

same reason for why shaq couldn't hit a ft even if paid. Real Bigs that aren't born with soft hands have a lot less sensitivity in their hands, that may be even untrainable or close to.

[Raven]

Yep, no need to play the bench. Especially, for 30 minutes a game.

Good grief.

well no, there is no need for that. I think it's pretty much established that green, kawhi and tiago do not play enough minutes for their age and talent.

[EVAY]

We shot 8% of our threes in the first half.

We are, except for Tiago and Kawhi, having a lousy shooting night.

[RD2191]

Damn Kawhi

[timtonymanu]

Nice block Whi

[EVAY]

Damn, Duncan looks like he has dropsy. That's the fourth time I've seen him rolling on the floor tonight.

[DapDaGenius]

Kawhi should have had that.

[RD2191]

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Duncan's offense has trailed off a bit since the Miami game. Not close to as bad as it was at the beginning of the season, but hopefully he'll regain the form he had against the Heat soon.
