Bonner -1 !!!!!!

Splitter could take off his shorts and take a in the middle of the court and people would still be amazed, it's getting so comical at this point... He got outplayed by Baynes and Robin Lopez, shooting 30% as a 7 footers who mostly shoots layups...

Can you say middle class Kendrick Perkins?

Just the same way you can post ty takes in threads after threads and I'm still amazed... it's getting comical at this point.

Splitter set the tone early with great defense and THREE ING STEALS. He's the reason why LMA didn't go off early (and mind you LMA only scored 30+ points because of phantom fouls). Splitter had a Bowen-esque stats line yesterday for good reason.

So you agree that he's the white Kendrick Perkins or not?

[Prime Time]

If Aron Baynes continues to play even half this good, the frontcourt of Duncan-Splitter-Diaw-Baynes could be one of the most versatile in the league.

Portland doesn't have big-man depth, so letting a big body like Baynes wear them out could very well end up being a key factor to this series.

Good game by the spurs and pop

Not, he can shoot. Perkins cannot shoot.

[DarrinS]

As it should be.

No Lyfe Scrub grades based on how far Manu's is rammed up his ass. With 3 inches of penetration, Manu gets a B+. If it's 5 inches of penetration or more, Manu gets an A- or higher.

Wow, really dude?

If Perkins had a pick and roll game and could defend a little further from the basket

The very positive stuff about Parker performances game 7 and game 1 is that teams will now think twice before using shut down everybody and let Parker do his stuff. He clearly showed in two games that if you do that he will make you pay, Manu showed that too and Duncan also. That is probably one of the biggest achievement in the POs so far for this team, we won't go anywhere without a solid production of our role payers. To think we have to rely on big 3 with their mileages to score 60 points during the whole POs is quite scary so all in all the big 3 reminding everybody they still have the legs to kill you if you let them open is big. That will open stuff for the others.

Great and accurate comments, tbh.

Yes. Parker had all the time in the world to hit those mid range jumpers!

they dared him to shoot it, they will do it again but I'm pretty sure they will stay a bit closer after game 1
