DPG bout to do work.

Good first half. If the Mavs don't shoot lights out from 3 we're up 20.

[superjames1992]

Bonner +6 in 2 mins.

pretty 2nd quarter, but ill take it. good first half./

[N0 LyF3 ScRuB]

It really is so nice to see Ginobili balling again.. After the finals last year never in my life would I expect him to play so well like this..

[bklynspursfan]

Good closeout

[DPG21920]

I would have bet that Manu was going with the step-back 3 for the final shot, tbh..

9 times out of 10 you are right tbh..Especially when he makes his move late (went at 5 seconds IIRC vs the usual 7 seconds).

[ElNono]

gotta bring the lead back to 15 before playing the bench again....

It seems to be a catch 22 with Pop's strategy though. Every time the Spurs get leads, he seems to play that struggling bench unit featuring Marco and buys rest while the lead dissipates. If Beli can get something going, that's fine, but that has not happened yet.

Odd thing to say about the best bench in the league

If we leave our starters out there they get tired and we probably blow the lead anyway.

[Mugen]

Please limit the bench's minutes. Please, Pop.

What the is Kenny talking about

[Spurs_Be_Beastin']

Lmao did anybody notice Jesus is in the house? He's front row
( across from scoring table, other side of floor )

[ElNono]

Marco's offense hasn't been this disaster with the Spurs or any other team. It's clear he's not for this series. Patty regressed today somehow, he was great last game. I would give him some more minutes.

Well, considering a lot of our guys are young (DG/KL) and our stars aren't playing that many minutes, I would think an extra 3-5 minutes should be ok. It's ok for literally every other playoff team.

So when you see Manu with the ball and he's eying the paint... you know he's about to try to thread some risky ass pass and turn it over. You can call it.

i just meant about marco, i have to say i can't see how can he be any better against other opposition, dallas is the least athletic team in the playoffs imho not sure who you mean

You know, I think at this point Pop rationale is: if the bench guys don't show up and play better, we're not going anywhere anyways. So he's going to play them, and give them the minutes to try to figure things out.

Patty looked like he figured a thing or two last game, but he's regressed again this game. Hopefully it was just a bad stretch.
