Game 2 adjustments thread.

[Malik Hairston]

You seem to be getting angry. It's really odd. I will type something negative about TP so you can get back into your comfort zone. I'm just here to talk basketball.

Mills has to be the first backup pg. Cory just plays too timid on offense and Mills is not that much of a downgrade on defense.

They need to figure out a set that has either tony or Green in the corner for when the double team comes so they can outlet to the top of the key and swing it to the corner.

Spurs need to move the ball. There was may 3 good passing plays in this game. The Spurs need about 15 to wear the Clippers down.

Tiago needs to sit if he plays like he did today. I appreciate the effort but his offense was bad and it hurt the starting unit in the first and third quarters.

When Manu is in the game, the ball needs to go through him at the top of the key. The Spurs did that in the second quarter but not at all in the second half.

Manu and Leonard need to play at the same time.

bench tp all night and fake a injury for him, just like g6 in last year's okc. this guy just ed up team chemistry.

[spurtech09]

replace the refs

[UZER]

Quick, crisp passing. None of this slow, high-arcing that everybody was throwing around all night.

Yup. To lazy for playoff ball.

Oh and that rainbow 3 by manu that still hasn't come back down yet.

[Ditty]

Hope to see Green/Leonard start on Paul from the get go, set a tone and hopefully Tiago feels great and plays closer to twenty minutes. I like Baynes, but he had a tough game tonight. Mills first point guard off the bench, and Pop needs to keep rolling with him if he is playing well.

[Robz4000]

-Kawhi on Re , Green on CP3, and Enrique on Barnes from the get-go
-Depending on Splitter, starting Diaw may be the best choice
-Don't be afraid to pull Enrique if he's ting the bed early, the Clippers have always been a team Mills plays well againt; if he has to play 30+ mins a game this series so be it
-Beli might be able to thrive in this match up surprisingly, as long as Green or Leonard are in the game with him
-Manu needs to attack more; he isn't capable of doing it at will be 5-6 times a game should be possible
-No more zones ffs
-Hit freebies (don't have a lot of confidence in this, they've been terrible all year)

[Robz4000]

Also, welcome back DPG. Forum was noticeably worse without you.

Damn, that one hurts, but I guess it's a silver lining..maybe..

[ChumpDumper]

Holy , that's worse than I thought when I definitely watched the game so I could post about its technicalities.

[z0sa]

Yeah, how many chances did we get in the first couple possessions of the 2nd half? 5 or 6, at least? Our guys missed some easy ones tonight. That said, Danny Green's gonna need to find some adjustment out there that doesn't include dribbling the ball more than a couple times.

[Stabula]

Shot blockers are prone to getting in foul trouble. Show Jordan the ball, throw a million pump fakes if you have to, and keep him in foul trouble.

[Cloud786]

The only silver lining was that we had 36 uncontested shots compared to their 26. I don't have faith in us to consistently knock down open shots. They haven't done it the whole season so don't expect it now.

[dabom]

Tony and boris.

For starters, I kinda feel like the Clippers played just about as well as they can. They hit us with their best shot, and unfortunately we couldn't take it. In general, we have to play more composed. There were times we looked like a team that had made the playoffs for the first time, and Green especially looked pretty shook for some reason. It kinda felt like how some of the Dallas series last year felt to me, with the ball movement being really stymied. Idk I'm having a little trouble digesting that game, not really sure how to feel about it fully.

I went to the game tonight... the crowd brought the energy and fueled the Clippers. CP3's buckets were going in during the 4th, he simply couldn't miss. But during the first 2 quarters, JJ Re hit some shots that stopped any momentum the Spurs may have had.

[glen907]

Come out and play in the first quarter like they give a damn and more minutes for patty

Any millionaire spurs fan willing to buy the whole stadium tickets for game 2?

[FuzzyLumpkins]

That's just a random internet throw away line. No one thinks what they type on here will be implemented by the actual Spurs. This is a Spurs board and this is a basketball discussion thread. Making FT's isnt an adjustment. That's just something every team tries to do. Requires no actual planning.

Not sure why you are more interested in arguing than contributing something of substance and random throw away lines?? It's the same value as the Parker bashing threads.

You should go back to your other accounts. You are being quite the on this one.

[apalisoc_9]

Good that someone mentioned about transition.

Kawhi is our best transition player by far, the bigs needs to allow him to rebound the ball and run...

the guards should know this too..

If pop is not going to make adjustments on the rotation, kawhi posts ups won't work.

[Johnny RIngo]

Parker, Diaw, and Green were our three worst players today. Usually, Green and Diaw are both pretty good playoff performers so the show they put on tonight was surprising - definitely expect a better performance from them next game. Parker is always disappointing this time of year so I'm not expecting much from him next game. Mills was awesome - hope he gets all of Joseph's minutes along with some of Tony's next game.

[BG_Spurs_Fan]

1. Kawhi, Parker and Manu should drive more
2. Green should drive less
3. Less post-ups for Kawhi, more for Tim and Boris
4. More Mills, less CoJo and Marco - even if Mills isn't shooting well they still respect his shot and it creates space. No one guards CoJo
5. More hacking - the lane opens when Jordan's not there
6. Some zone
7. Stay on their shooters
8. Don't turn the ball over so much ( duh )
9. Go small - Parker, Manu, Green, Leonard, Tim/Diaw

[Fireball]

1. Kawhi should not be intimidated by Barnes
2. Baynes has to stop being the rag doll of Barnes and Paul ...
3. Start Diaw, let Manu play with Splitter
4. Mills was good, so play him
5. Let Griffin and Paul get theirs ...but stop Barnes, Crawford and Red
6. Danny should make shots instead of screaming on every drive in Gasol/Boozer type fashion ...

[wildchild]

1-Time to stop talking about Kawhi as the man and start treating him like it.

1b-Play him 43 minutes like Griffin tonight instead of his 33', and give Leonard the ball...more.

[heyheymymy]

Duncan, Green, Parker, Ginobili, and Diaw combined for 54 shots tonight. They only connected on 15 of the attempts. If that happens 3 more games then hats off the the Clips and we weren't going deep anyway.
