I been telling u nigas Danny just shot that terrible shot it was not drawn by Pop.
They were trying to get th balk to Kawhi. IMO Lamarcus didn't even enter the picture.
Green was too impatient. It was a terrible shot.
Manu and Patty do it all the time, do they not?
Yeah, why shoot it so early when you're down![]()

fuk we only beat them 2 times in last 9 outings and we lost with KD shooting like 25%.
Westbrook is an absolute loose cannon. And I agree with SAS, Hes unguardable when hes on.
That doesn't sound right. Could be wrong though.
Regular season only. We obviously beat them 4 times in the 2014 playoffs.
It was a looooong off season for the NBA, gotta over value every game this month, then ignore the next two months like they don't exist (except Christmas of course).
They both didn't blow their loads yet.... Finally a reasonable segment
What I don't understand is why not just hold the ball because you have time and let either LMA or Kawhi come to the ball, set a screen and run the play that was supposed to be run.
He was clearly fouled on that shot. Danny did a lousy job of selling it.
Why do people watch these guys?
They're not analyzing basketball.
They're entertainers not Analyst.
Have to give them credit, though..despite having limited knowledge of sports, they're both making 3-4 mil per year, tbh..gotta admire the charisma and self-marketing, it's unquestionably a rare talent..
IDK man he had some plays drawn up last year late in games as well that made me say is that really what he drew upPop is great but sometimes he makes me wonder if he dreamed that play up right then and there and just said why not try it? That is not a high % play. I hope he is saving something for later with that draw up last night.
The issue here is why in the was Danny in the game when Manu in an infinitely better option in those type of situation? It's no like a desperation 3 was need w/ 20 sec left & only down 2. Porker was on the floor but no where to be found either. Pop's rotation was terrible in the 2nd half. Replace Danny/Porker w/ Manu/Patty & you have 4 threats on the floor who can score from anywhere on the floor; Tim can set picks & roll to the rim or crash the offensive glass.
If Porker isn't going to be handing the ball then there is no reason to have him on the floor esp. when Kawhi/LMA need spacing when they are posting up or clearing the floor for isolation.

Porker should have been the one inbound the ball. If the play brakes, it's imperative that it goes to someone that can run the PnR..Green is not that guy.
Was just a ty playcall overall.
The only reason to having Danny inbound the ball if they need a desperation 3 w/ 5 seconds remaining so he can catch & launch a 3 (ala Horry). I don't ever remember Porker inbound the ball b/c it always been Manu, Kawhi, Horry, Tim or Diaw. Pop usually wants a screener or a 3 point threat inbound the ball.
They should have hit them w/ that patented Manu inbounds the ball to Tim & runs toward the rim after faking out his defender as if he was going around the pick. I would like to see that w/ LMA/Kawhi since even if the defense reads it right, LMA will at worst have the ball 1-on-1 at his favorite spot.

Basically, we don't want Danny freelancing on stuff. Its a reason why he hasn't consistently closed out games for us. One on one he has no moves, and doesn't make good decisions with the ball in his hands, he's a spot up shooter. He could have dished an improvised pnr with TD, which is what Manu kind of would have done, or Manu would have gone to the basket. Just something else other than that shot.
He will likely get other chances and will improve his decision making or he won't be closing out games, which is a problem bc you want him defensively. Just something else than what occurred.
We need green in late game executions. He needs to be out there for experience. Manu had been taking all those minutes and we can't rely on manu for that anymore. We need to move forward at some time.
Their supporters are also Trump supporters. 'Nuff said.
This was an end of game situation where he could have been subbed out. The mistake was that he shouldn't have been anywhere near the ball in non-catch-and-shoot situations where he has to read & react (which is usually what the player inbound the ball has to do). If he needs to stay on the floor for a final defensive possession then have a real play-maker handle the ball & still have Danny as a threat by running him off picks.
In any case, Pop was playing mad scientist in the 2nd half so we shouldn't be over-analyzing it.
Yeah..I was talking specifically about that designed play
Didn't TP' s infamous staredown also happen when Green ed up during the closing seconds of a game?
Kawhi should be the closer, Danny should just spot up or run off picks. The guy has been in the league for a minute & he still can't dribble in traffic nor does he have floor vision so you don't want him making decisions when the shot-clock is off. He's getting better at finishing at the basket so they could have him cutting w/o the ball.
He intentionally fouled Joe Johnson in a two possession game.
