He looks like Kevin Love on last year's Cavs except he isn't being forced to be a spot up shooter.

Best description so far.

Indeed. I don't think it gets said enough because its a well known fact. Without Manu to start this season how he has, we are not 8-2 as it is right now.

I suppose Kawhi's real MVP status will be decided when TD and Manu retire. As sensational as Kawhi is, he's not the passer and creator for himself or others, nor the clutch that Manu is, and when he's gone, who knows what will happen?

Which is why we need to appreciate manu and td before they go. They are irreplaceable.

Been long time since we've seen #LillardTime. This season in 4th quarter, Lillard is 12-for-51 from field (23.5%) and 6-26 from 3 (23.1%)

[sasaint]

If Kobe was playing at Manu's level, if he had the finish Manu did tonight, they'd talk about it for a month.

Absolute Truth!

Offensive rebounding was the difference in this game. And Manu.

[Beaverfuzz]

No need for all this hate. lol

Was on the tip of my tongue...I didn't mean that Kyle should play tag in a freeway but.....

[ducks]

Mills is the WORST defensive guard on our team. Lollard was contained with Tony on him, but has gone Berserk with Mills "guarding" him.

And Boris.

Portland is the worst 4th quarter team in the league IIRC..not surprising that they melted down..

Yup. When do the spurs play against a decent team? is getting boring. You can tell the spurs are always playing your turn my turn kind offense and the opposing offense is so ty the performance isnt indicativenof how they would fare defensvley against an elite team.

Do you consider Memphis a decent team? We play them Saturday.

[Gametight]

What separates Manu from the rest is that he's all business out there. He doesn't get into crowd chanting, or the last play, or emotional surges. He just stands there, hewn of Argentinian ivory, sea foam and horse piss and continues laying that Argie beef to the opponent.

Its probably on ok test to see how the offense is going. But we wont see the full defensive game against memphis. One of thenworst offensive teams in the west.

Insult to injury: The hot water isn't working in the Blazers' locker room, so they're having to take cold showers.

Wtf? Its san antonio..who the takes hot showers in san antonio.

[Kawhitstorm]

Last playoff series they met:

Parker: 18.4 PPG, 5.2 APG on 51% shooting
Lilliard: 19.8 PPG, 6.4 APG on 41% shooting

...oh, and Lilliard played 10 more MPG.

That was when it all began but Lillard had been toarching him in the regular season since he was a rookie.

Well stated!

I bet the blazers coach or staff requested the hot water to be shut off..

[steeledl]

Worked late. Didn't get to watch this game.... looks like Tony dominated per usual. Kawhi did his thing. Ginobilis legs were under him after a good rest.......Scrub Anderson sucks per usual.... but wtf was up with LMA?.... Looks like he had his worst outing yet.

The way they shot the ball tonight cold water would not have hurt.....they clanked more steel than a ironworker

It's funny reading all these stupid posters saying Aldrige is washed up and some of these fools were the same ones saying Manu was washed up.lol
