Patty mills is useless go yourself
How do we stop Monta Ellis? The man was a one man wrecking crew down the stretch, and no Spur seemed to be able to contain him from getting into the lane and getting wide open jumpers off of screens. It's evident that Dirk is no longer their best player, so we shouldn't be shifting our focus into stopping him (like the good old days).
How should Pop adjust for game 4?

Obviously danny green but he has been poor offensively and that would mean benching Manu or Kawhi down the stretch
It's puzzling that Green has only covered him for like 3 possessions in this series, tbh..
Green is the best isolation defender on the team, which is backed up by the stats, and he's by far the best guard defender on the team..
He's struggling offensively, but Pop is going to have to make a choice of defense vs. offense..
Has nothing to do with the OP, but thumbs up for trying.
MWP and his elbow.
- More Green
- Attack Ellis on the defensive End with Leonard.
Boom!!
simple as , either you play green or cojo, no other should get burn when he's on the floor (or harris for that matter, it's the same ).
Not a bad idea, except we use Bonner. Sub him on in the first, have him elbow Ellis, and BOOM, he's out for the rest of the series with a concussion.
WTF?? Don't you know Tony Parker needs to dribble the ball for 20 seconds.
Kawai was sagging off huge in the lane and going under every screen Ellis killed him time to go with dg
either that or quit going under every screen and pay his ass straight up
Better use Baynes.
I'm more baffled at how the Heat contained him last year. Don't they usually scramble when playing against quicker guards? How the did they hold him to 14 points on 43% shooting. I didn't watch that series, so I'm probably missing a vital link.
I don't think one can stop Monta. I feel holding the 3pt shooters is a bigger priority. Making sure VC, Marion, Calderon, etc. don't get great looks is a must.
Just my two cents.
What was up with that? The screens were being set at the 3 point line and Kawhi would end up in the paint waaay under in the paint..
Danny Green is supposed to be our Ellis stopper. Wish he'd wake up.
That was the Plan...Making sure he shoots instead of attacking the rim
Ellis had so much enegry on the offensive end because he hardly has to work on the defensive end tbh..
Have Green guard him and have leonard attack him
I saw that too. Splitter/duncan were supposed to hedge, but Kawhi was behind the screen for too long.
Maybe Pop should only have the defense sag about 15 feet off of Ellis instead of the 20ft he's been doing so far.
No one can stop him tbh... He's gonna destroy us and play like against Portland/Houston.
1-1 and Pop didn't change the rotation defensive on Ellis.
1-2 and Pop'll make some defensive adjustements...nahhh that's never gonna happen.
Pop has to let him play first, instead of letting Leonard or anyone else guard him.
Spurs pretty much gave Ellis most of those jumpers .kawahi seemed to be worrying about the glass
