The Closer

[Pauleta14]

Come on. I mean at this point it's like you prefer to be under the pile of Parker shat on you.

[Sean Cagney]

Nuggets were rolling and inching their way to a come back before Parker hit them with the dagger three then nailed the coffin shut with another shot immediately after. Don't get how anyone can hate clutch play like that.

I will never get the hate for any Spur to be honest, gets old and makes no sense if you are a real fan. I want the whole team to do well, fan of the team not just a player or two. Most who do this are from the Country of the so called other player and hate on Manu or Parker etc., they were not Spurs fans before those guys came.

[FkLA]

Must really like the .

lolutsa

89k and counting!

[Wildcat67]

I hate all the arguing over which players are better or whatever, I love them all. But the reality was Kawhi got us the big lead, and as soon as he went out the play of the team leveled off and they slowly started leaking the lead away. It wasn't until Pop went to put Kawhi back in at the end that we hit a few shots to put it back up to officially end the game for real.

It's OK if you're angry, but staying under the pile of Tony shat on you is just unhygienic.

Not angry. No shame in getting dominated by someone with 89k wins!

[unintelligible]

I mean if you are unused to bathing regularly that's one thing, but really -- there is just so much on you right now.

[Stabula]

Kawhi 's rebounding was absolutely crucial as well. Pop went with ty Baynes/Diaw lineups that had zero rebounding ability and it kept the game close. Parker had to ice it with clutch shots to really cement this win. Could have ended with an embarrassing come from behind loss for the Spurs.

[TheGreatYacht]

Chump dropping nukes tbh

FkLA still has a little bit of on her glasses

[TheGreatYacht]

Yall can put your money on Enrique's midrange jumper if yall like. I won't. His midrange shot falling at that rate is not the norm, he was just unusually hot today. I'd feel alot more positive about it he was doing his damage in the paint tbh.

Dude hasn't been healthy all year... Still only has 2 red areas
backfired

[Johnny RIngo]

Tony the statpadder is more like it. Probably angry that Kawhi's going to be the lone representative for the Spurs in the All-Star game and trying to up his averages. Did the same in game 5 when he was selfishly chucking for Finals MVP.

There are no stat padders on this team. Tony has stopped the ball in the past but its far from the norm. This team has been known for years as a team with fluid ball movement, its among the main strengths of this team in the playoffs. Tony in the past has been a top 3 point guard and the leader of the team so the ball was often in his hands. And the supposed rift between TP and KL is groundless got drama. tbh

Those red areas are his money shots before.

[ElNono]

"It's coming back," Parker said. "I'm still mad at myself because I missed some easy stuff (against the Nuggets). I just have to be patient. It's only my seventh game back."

[FkLA]

Those read areas are his money shots before.

Not to mention the fact that his points in the paint are down significantly. Basically he's relying on low percentage midrange jumpers to be effective (like Kobe).

[Mugen]

I've been fine with his play since leonard came back tbh.

like Kobe ?

So kobe has a eFG% at .52 and a TS% at .55 taking 12 shots a game ?... not sure you can find worst comparaison...

[Brazil]

yup he is doing ok since MVPkawhi is back

From what I noticed during this period, Parker age or mileage is hitting him on the recovery part... He was a fast healer but this injury has been painful to heal. 7 games and he is starting to be more or less ok just now.

forgive him.he rides the short bus for a reason

Kirby is obviously the worst of the worst and doesn't know how to tone down. Enrique won't shoot 30 shots when he's off I'll give him that.

I was simply talking about what both require to have good games. You think Enrique can still dominate games by simply getting to the rim at will like he used to? I dont. I think he needs those low percentage midrange jumpers to fall to even be close to his old form (what we saw yesterday). Otherwise he'll just look like he did the previous 5-6 games tbh.

Parker has always been much better when his mid range is clicking... but yes he is taking less shoots at the rim than before which can be explained by both potential age/decline issue and the vagina strain like you like to call it.

Good thing tho his FG% from 3-10 is the best of his career at .49, Durant for instance is at .44. The bad part is the > 16 ft... he is taking too much of them and has a poor .37

Now I think dude is aware of that and working on it. He is shooting more 3s with for now a great success... Idea is imo to continue to shoot from 3-16 he is solid on those tbh and eradicate the > 16 ones and transform them on 3s... better convert 3s at .37 than long 2s.

The red areas are the areas with the second and third most shots taken.
