Kawhi needs to work on his handles

Another ty member of the kawhi hating krew. Smh

Diaw/West should never be on the floor together. I missed the last few games, has Boban got any burn, how;s he looking?

[still.focused]

I think this game highlights that we dont have a Manu replacement
He stunk it up pretty bad but we didnt have anyone better to put in the game
In other news if theyre gonna run that backdoor alley oop for Kawhi can they at least teach Tim how to throw it
Hes gonna get Kawhi hurt one of these days

[Robz4000]

What makes this more frustrating is how easily the Dubs beat these guys a couple weeks ago. Spurs have a ways to go despite a great record.

Dubs struggled to beat them at home until Butler ran out of gas tbh.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

The bright side is that the Thunder lost, so the Spurs don't give up any ground on the 2nd seed.

[NASpurs]

Hawks just beat the Tunder. I'll sleep better tonight.

[Kawhitstorm]

OKC lost so it's a wash

[ElNono]

Is not the end of the world guys.

likenisaid earlier... Ginobili is old and he looks old. We don't win championships in November or December. Sit him every other week to couple of weeks and keep him fresh. We need him in get playoffs. This serves two purposes... It preserves manu(who very clearly only has spurts of quality play) and helps develop a guy like Simmons. We wil need the combination of the two come playoff time as you can't count on manu night in and night out.

Pop isn't sitting many every other week... not happening

[NASpurs]

Spurs > Hawks > Thunder >Wizards > Spurs < Bulls < GSW >All

[Johnny RIngo]

Lol, who made shots in the 4th moron? And yah, blame the only 2 guys who shot 50% or better.

No need to get so mad got. I said late in the 4th. Both Parker and Aldridge got their blocked in those last two minutes. Against ty defenders too(Gasol and Rose)

[DeRozan m8]

I agree, just frustrated I guess. Gotta be patient that we're a work in progress.

I'm frustrated too, probably why I snapped at ya a bit.

Sorry mate haha

Boban is fine, but Pop won't play him due to injury concerns and that he "bogs down the offense" even though he's far superior on defense to the alternative.

The Turd Towers are ing GODAWFUL. Never should get a minute together again. One needs to be traded for sure.

[Neurosis]

Shooting was the killer for us really. We held the bulls to 92 (they average 99pg) but our offense was just getting bad results.

41% from the floor overall and 14% from 3. Bench went 6-22 and starters went 31-68.

Spurs have to find a way to get some easy buckets against other good defenses because even with the #1 ranked defense, we can't ring with this subpar offense.

[LongtimeSpursFan]

Kawhi, Mills and Green were a combined 14/39 tonight.

[SpurPadre]

That's like comparing apples to oranges. The Spurs play a different style and are currently in the midst of an iden y change. Though the Bulls are under a changing scheme, they showed today that they can still play that ugly physical brand of basketball...unfortunately they were physical just enough to bother our bigs in the interior and that's not even mentioning how great Butler was defending on the perimeter.

The Warriors are on a hot street right now. When those shots stop falling down, teams will start to defend them a little better. Teams that are smart enough will punish them inside.

On point but the Dubs style is what we once were and I just haven't gotten used to this new change the team is undergoing. Encouraging play from LMA, though.

[daslicer]

OKC lost which is great since they were not able to make up any ground on the Spurs tonight in the standings. ty loss but standings still stay the same so it doesn't really mean much.

Boban started when Tim was resting & he looked decent. Worst come worst he can actually protect the rim. West absolutely does nothing besides moving the ball. He's basically useless unless he's hitting his midrange shot.

Go your mother

[Darius Bieber]

Spurs are no longer good on the road either, only a measly 5-4.

[steeledl]

You ou are most likely right...... But I still think it would be a good decision. We need manu to be as fresh as possible come playoffs . He looked good early in the season rested but not so much lately. I'm not pop.... But it is what I would do because I think it would benefit him, Simmons, and he team in the long run.

[SpurPadre]

Sorry mate haha

No worries.

Every time I about a loss, I snap out of it and try to focus on the positives and it was great to see LMA look more comfortable out there at least.

[Kawhitstorm]

Replace Kawhi w/ Manu.

[k_nguyen93]

Too many missed free throws and open jumpshots. Some bad offense down the stretch. Mills and Green definitely should have been out there for the last possession. Saw a tweet the Bulls didn't have a field goal the last 6-7 minutes. It honestly should have been a blowout if Kawhi and Aldridge didn't go off a bit early because our bench was terrible. Not completely surprising though, Gibson and Noah is a pretty good defensive combo to have come in.

That's good to hear, hopefully he starts eating into West's minutes like Simmons did with KA. If West wants his spot he has to earn it.

LMA disappeared in the 2nd half. On the bright side, I guess he showed that he can play well for a half.
