Game Thread: Spurs vs Mavs -- Wed. (11/25) - 7:30PM CST (3:30AM Riga Time)

Much rather have our starters get it going.
Diaw has been bad though, too passive Diaw is not a good thing. He's better with a mix of aggressiveness and his crafty passes mixed in. That unit tends to jumpshoot a whole lot unless Manu goes vintage going to the basket, which is not a sure thing game in and game out.

I am kind of disappointed in Diaw this season. Horry mode.

Horry mode? All Big Shot Rob ever did was let it fly! Boris has become the anti-Horry.

Manu's shot looks real bad tonight.

[Kawhitstorm]

Manu has no legs tonight

[Hoops Czar]

Leonard gambles and loses.

[ElNono]

welp, defense great again, need to score more, especially guys not named Parker or Kawhi

[BatManu20]

ty end to the half. Kawhi gambled and it backfired. Just gotta hit our open looks in the second half and we should be alright.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

2 bad defensive plays from Kawhi in a row. First he fell asleep when he should have been stopping Powell's cut, and the 2nd he was too aggressive.

[Fireball]

Manu ... do not travel to Denver please

[Silver&Black]

Spurs lead 46-39 at the half.

[Kawhitstorm]

Lucky basket by Deron, Kawhi almost had a steal for a dunk

LMA is answering that call, tbh.

[SAGirl]

Manu having an off game shooting so far. The game where his percentages come back down maybe?

[TheGreatYacht]

This Powell dude is nice. Dumb ass Celtics traded him and kept Big Baby Jr

Well that last one sure did. Have you noticed the knuckleballs he's been tossing this year? Practically no rotation on a lot of them.

I do not think Pop sees it that way ...

[ElNono]

Patty was especially awful in that 1st half, I wonder if Pop is going to give McCallum some mins

[SpurPadre]

Butler needs to get some minutes in the second half.

[Ice009]

Agreed. He's been hesitant to shoot that 3 all year. He always pump fakes.

Let it fly!!!!

He weighs too much to shoot the 3. In that 2014 OKC series, he weighed less and I think was getting more lift on his three ball. Ever since 2015 season, it just seems like with the extra weight, he just doesn't seem to have the same lift and his 3s are usually flat.

I'd like to see his 3 point percentage in seasons where he weights less Vs seasons where he's overweight. I don't know why he doesn't get into better shape and drop more weight. It really pisses me off. I don't expect him to come out looking like D-Rob all ripped up, but for s sake, can't he at least get back to the weight he was at towards the end of the 2014 season?

Well if they hold the Mavs to 39 in the second half too, I like their chances.

yep ... him and Lauvergne of Denver are two new favorites of mine this season ...

It's the starters/LMA's turn to carry the offense. Manu has held it down for a month until they get it together.

I like Powell. I saw him in a dleague game last year and he clearly stood out. It was clear he was up a level.

[sasaint]

One of LMA's best halves as a Spur. Great to see!

[Silver&Black]

Manu gonna end up the the Kobe-like 1-14 shooting night.

it...as long as we win.

[Ron Swanson]

Manu may need another two game break soon.
