Our bench should be our starters, tbh
That is how bad the Spurs' bench outscored the Clippers' bench tonight.
So what does this portend? Good sign? Bad sign?
Bench scoring was supposed to be the Spurs' ace in the hole . . .

Start the bench?
my man
Pop is ty with rotations
Wasted game for Beli.
Means the starters besides Duncan/Kawhi have sucked the entire series.
Ferrari was in full force.. Going to be sad when all the euro's leave pop in the offseason. He might actually start to care when he has to field a team full of bonners and Kawhi
Should be 48 - 15.
(I don't know how to edit the thread le.)
Yep, heads call him out all year long and he has showed up when his number is called and wanted it tonight but nobody wanted to trip with him (Besides Boris).
Our bench has been bailing us out all series.... and it's not only because their bench sucks, because they also play Blake or Paul with their bench...
It's because Tony, Danny and Tiago have had an absolutely putrid series offensively...
It just goes to show how superior their starters are compared to ours.
I was just going to point this out.
This portends that our starters are easily intimidated chokers.
Deandre Jordan has wrecked the psyches of our starters. Doesn't matter that he sucks ass at freethrows.
diaw/mills have been outplaying splitter/parker pretty regularly... and Green's shooting has been killing us, whereas marco has been consistent on that end.
Green still needs his minutes for defensive purposes, but it's putting a strain on the team
Tiago is struggling
Parker is struggling
Green is struggling because Parker is struggling
Thats 3/5 of your starters not playing well
I ing love that commercial. I'm not here for a history lesson I'm here to win.
It means what I said before the series started: We have a gimpy center and a gimpy PG. Danny Green cannot get his looks because our center isn't a real threat, he cannot even move up and down the court without limping and dragging his ass. Our PG cannot move the ball and cannot attack the rim. That means no one has to collapse on defense so they can stay at home on shooters. That would be Danny. Danny has to be wide open to get going. Miami shut him down on command after Tony dropped a dime on him (only dime he dropped all series as I recall).
Bellineli and Mills should be starting. Green is starting mainly for defense, but he hasn't bee dong all series(though he had a good poke away and block on griffin tonight). If he's not gonna lock down guys and play hard like he has in the past, we may as well start Bellineli. At least he can provide offense(something green has NOT been able to do).
I guess you're okay with Paul going off when they get Marco switched into him or while Patty tries to guard him. They're both nice in stretches, but can't play the majority of the minutes.
If any consolation from tonight, Splitter was much better than in prior games. His missed FTs killed us, but his D, rebounding and chemistry on the PnR is improving and let's Pop keep to a three big rotation. It's not Tiago from last postseason but he's playable as the third big.
Clips main guys played a ton of minutes and surprisingly only Kawhi played big minutes tonight. Hopefully they have enough legs to win a third on the road. No Big Baby is a huge hit - if it doesn't bite Clips in Game 7, they better hope Hawes starts earning his paycheck. Interesting to see what Doc does with his rotations / when Jordan is getting hacked.
Paul has gone off regardless, Green and Parker have been the majority of this series on both sides of the ball. There's a reason why the Spurs are always down when the bench comes in and why they usually have a lead when the bench comes out. And the Clips have been playing their starters against the Spurs bench plenty. Mills and Marco can hang. No doubt in my mind.
paul goes off regardless of who's guarding him. but at least mills and bellineli offers some offense. if he's killing ALL of them and the 2 starters aren't scoring, then why not play the bench players who are actually scoring?
This x 1000. Since Flop is getting his regardless who's guarding him, might as well have a ty defender who can at least hold his own on offense. Just like in the 2nd quarter, once our offense got going it, got the Clippers out of synch on the offensive side of the ball, which is something that Parker & Green can't contribute in atm.Wasn't until Pop decided to on our momentum that the Clips began to claw back into the game...
This is like durant in OKC. He is going to get his. Not even Kawhi can stop him. When Kawhi was put on westbrook, we started wrecking them. CP3 is doing the same. Put kawhi on someone else pop.
