I hate it when Pop is going with the percentages! I guess he was expecting Green to finally hit a shot after missing a bunch! He should have played Bellinelli who was hot to shoot for that play!
Yes Danny was missing shots however, he's our best defender for Paul. Manu's turnovers were far more costly than any miss that Green had. Not only did we not score on our end but his turnovers usually led to very easy transition points which the Spurs struggled with all night. I love me some Manu Ginobili but he was pissing me off so bad with those turnovers. WE CAN SURVIVE missed shots here and there but we cannot SURVIVE dumb turnovers that lead to easy transition points. The Clippers feed off of those easy scores and really got going after the back to back turnovers caused by Gino.
Truth Bombs.
Why CIA Popped cannot grasp is beyond me.
These s already teamed up to give away 2013 trophy. Don't do it again es!
thread le should be: Why does Pop insists on not playing my boy ?
When Pop insists on Manu in the fourth and he struggles with TOs or FTs, is OP complaining ?
joke aside, we needed obviously more Patty and much less Parker. As for Manu late in the game people complain about TOs and FTs when he plays and complain when he does not play... never happy. I thought tho that Manu played well yesterday, he was 100% at the FT line so would not have any issue to see him playing more...
At the end it's a Win, Spurs are 3-2 and have a chance to finish in 6 games which is a great place to be
Pop really needs to get his head out of his ass. I don't know what he wa thinking with playing Parker during crunch time when all he could do was huck up bricks. Mills has been consistent in the playoffs this year unlike Parker.
What KILLED me was at the end of the game when the Clippers HAD to foul right away, instead of putting his best 5 free throw shooters, Pop still keeps Parker, Green, Diaw in there at the end during an FT situation.
Stupid move.
lots of poster-coaches here with 20/20 hindsight

green is usually clutch on free throws manu is not
I noticed this as well. Patty and Beli should be in for the free throws.
You are tripping if you trully believe that. Manu has stayed on the bench many of times to end games this season and I didn't say 'cause when other players are getting the job done I don't give a . In fact I'm on record for asking Pop to bench Manu at the end of games when he's ing up (just go check 6's game thread, tbh) AAAAND I'm on record for asking Pop to play Green a lot more, but yesterday it was clear as day that the guard duo to end the game should have been Patty and Manu.

Called it on the game thread before, during and after it happened, tbh.
if Parker and Green sit the 2nd half we lose last night.

If DeMonkey doesn't commit a historic mistake we lose the game and the series. How do you like that for hindsight?
I usually don't respond to racist comments.
even then your comment is grasping straws now

It's not racist son. If Re would have made the same mistake I would have called him Ape , tbh.
sure. it's not, Adolf

With the way manu has been turning the ball over, honestly I was beyond relieved to see him on the bench at the end of the game. Last thing I wanted was for us to run down the clock only to not get a shot off because we turned it over, something that we have seen over and over again with Manu.
I love Manu, but man I'm glad he was on the bench.
Patty is most effective when someone else is the primary ballhandler.
What I don't want is Patty bringing the ball up and having to begin the offense with Paul on him.
Man I hope we win this series as the rockets don't pressure the ball near as well as the Clips. The problem is Parker and/or Mills might have to guard a legit SG and not Barnes.
Green is usually the most reliable FT shooter on the team outside of Patty, actually..his shot is just broken right now, for whatever reason..
He is also one of the easiest to dislodge the ball from.
The quandry is you got to get the ball in, and the best guys for getting open and holding on are not shooting FT well.
That's true, but I'll take my chances with him shooting FTs, usually..
The reality is that this team doesn't have many reliable FT shooters down the stretch, as we have seen in the past 3 years, unfortunately..
I know Green was shooting like 90% during the regular season from the FT line, but this time of year he is scary bad. I'm sure he'll snap out of it, but I don't trust him doing anything in crunch time.
Manu was actually 6-6 last night and finally made some foul shots that did not touch the rim.
I wrote joke aside, I was just messing with you a bit
