I would normally agree. However, they recovered incredibly well post a long 7 game slug it out series vs Dallas and not much rest between series, they look incredibly fresh. IMO at least.
Hoping Manu shoots better this game. The Spurs' dominance so far has really overshadowed a meh performance so far from Ginobil, especially after a great 1st round.
Maybe he turns it on against better compe ion and him getting to the FT line a lot last game was good but shooting 28% for a series is just inexcusable tbh.
As long as Manu is aggressively driving to the basket a lot I am happy. The alternative is either too many 3s, or more likely lots of wild high risk passes.
He's been awful at finishing at the rim too... dunno if it's because of RobinLopez.gif or what... glad we haven't needed him much, but a solid game today would do, IMO...
Mo Williams out per Stotts. Also, Batum will start on Parker. Let's see how he handles that - he by far shot his worst % with Batum guarding him with regards to getting to the rim. That's what has killed POR - they have tried to prevent that drive to the rim by giving him the mid range and he's not only hitting the mid range, but still getting to the rim.
Even though Batum caused Parker to miss more than everyone else, TP was still able to get to the rim a healthy amount even against Batum which is encouraging.
I don't think it's POR defense causing him to miss - TP is finishing very well against those same defenders. I think Manu is a little worn out from such a heavy load in the Mavs series. Not to the point where he's done, but he is not getting quite the lift he was. He's still getting there, but has been unusually rushed and off balance. Game one he drove too far and got pinned under the rim. Game two he seemed to pull up a little too short and had some awkward runners. I think he's fine and should finish a bit better today IMO.

One of the Spurs' buses was involved in a fender bender w/ a TriMet bus during pregame drive to Moda Center. Delayed arrival about 15 mins.

Sounds like the accident was caused by the Spurs' bus and there were no injuries.
Spurs bus was rammed by an obsessed Portland fan. Prayers are going out.

Who got Timmy out of 3x too big clothes and hooked him up with a taper? instagram.com/p/n63-Bhxhxz/
Looks weird lol after all these years.
LeBron about to go for Fity
Timmy on that Will Smith outfits. Boris looking dapper as f*ck!
Manu dressing like the 90's style just arrived in Argentina as a new fad..One too many buttons undone my man.
Failing to score on that trip is probably Brooklyn's season.
