TBH I thought we were going to get steamrolled tonight. I'll take it.
Washington is the only tough game really out of our next 10 games, so I think we will be fine.

The only long-term takeaways I saw were: Kawhi is legit, and the 2nd unit is going to have a bad rebounding problem.
Spurs had their shot at it. Came down to a couple 50/50 balls that they couldn't come up with...the rebound on Durant's brick, and the awkward bounce off the rim that Aldridge missed after that forced shot from Danny.
Scheduled loss, imo. Still 81 games to right the ship. Defense looked stout, Aldridge looked comfortable, Kawhi beasted, and Duncan and Manu still look to have their legs.
Not worried.
This...the one crack on West and Diaw is that they are both undersized and not great rebounders, and that really showed tonight.
I think Boban could lend some size and rebounding to the bench. He also can be defensive presence against bigger (and hopefully slower) players.
+1
they can be better than this.
Losing 7 points lead with very little time left, that horrible pattern by most naive coach of all time continue of course, just so frustrate to be a fan, 20 years of most naive team yet no one will put that man in his place, coach is such a soft ass ...
Small ball did get murdered at one point, which isn't surprising as big men is one of OKCs strengths tbh
I don't understand....Spurs were winning throughout mostly the whole game intill the end and and blew the lead....Its not like the spurs got blown out.....Even with the spurs leading the they were not really in sync ......Spurs still have room for improvement .....Just wait intill the spurs get it together and start to gel.....Spurs are going to get better...
lol rare, how much blind a person can be just cause a coach for some reason gives him a hard on?? Losing big leads, losing late leads, most bizarre loses, most heartbreaking loses happen time after time after time for 20 years with this most naive coach of all time, it is even happened in a le game and yet nobody put him in his place to cause him to change his naive ways... Most successful team? Most underachiever team more currect!!! Thanks to this soft ass !!
It doesn't matter, even if spurs would be twice as good as the other team, pop will always find ways to lose games that should have been won, It's a pattern!!
Just released:
truth bomb tbh
I don't understand why Pop didn't put Manu in for Danny after the TO when we were down two. 21s to play and Manu had a good gam, both i scoring and distributing.
no meltdown, just pissed about the loss ... the ceiling is enormous for this team tbh
lol i fell asleep during the 4th quarter
woke up and saw manu's "we couldve played better" tweet
oh well
I think the second unit will only struggle against really big ultra athletic teams such as this..Lost in the last minute, on the road, vs. a top 4 team in the NBA..a Spurs team that is changing their entire system..relax..
There are things to take away from the game, such as the lack of size in the 2nd unit's frontcourt, for example, but there is a ton of room for improvement..
This game should have been a lot more lopsided, too, considering Kawhi was so hot..
I'm disappointed, but a narrow loss on the road against a top team early in the season with new players and to some extent new offensive strategies being incorporated...
I'm getting bored with ST. You are all so predictable.
Watch for TJL.
Wait... isn't this typical Spurs behavior... giving away leads after a great focused performance?
It's all about efficiency... Spurs looked quite efficient with the exception of some plays that were obviously forced.
OKC with Kanter and Adams were also pretty big on the second unit. Spurs have an extreme luxury of talented players and may have to spread out the talent out. Honestly, I don't think Leonard/Aldridge or Duncan/Aldridge works out since on the offensive end they practically have the same role.
New lineups take a while to mesh the last few minutes of a game... Spurs controlled the 44 mins before they lost it the last 4 or so... No big deal, just learn how to finish... Easy to cleanup
