Whats up with Timmy? Only played 7 mins that 1st half.

He looked horrible. Seems like the engines never got warm.

[100%duncan]

Kiwi: 1 assist
MVParker: 5assists tbh

You watching a play by play, Manny?

How can you "watch" a play-by-play? That supposed to be 1st world education aint working for you.

[sasaint]

The adjustment is to got at Capela instead of pussy footing when he's in the paint

I was screaming at LMA in the first matchup for letting the toothpick cover him. Back him down and abuse him!

[spurs10]

Patty needs to find his shot!

[ElNono]

Tim is probably on a minute limit after missing two games... Pop not going to put a big load on him so quickly, especially against this frontline

[Kawhitstorm]

Whats up with Timmy? Only played 7 mins that 1st half.

He looked his age & West/Diaw/LMA were playing well.

[Raven]

We just don't match up well with Houston, even when Houston plays poorly against us they're always within striking distance or even have the lead.

They really get up for the Spurs.

it's mental, not matchup based. simply put, they care about this game as if it was a playoff game. and that's fine.

[100%duncan]

Kawhi with 14 pts, 5/5 fg after getting ignored the whole 1st quarter

[SpursFan86]

Mills/Kawhi/Diaw/Aldridge quartet has been money all year...hopefully Pop goes back to it in the 2nd half

[Kawhitstorm]

Not worried about the offense... It's the defense... Let Harden get his, foul Dwight, get back in transition when Brewer is out there and rebound the ball... Seems simple enough but we haven't done it consistently enough

Quit biting on their shot fakes: Jones/Ariza

[sasaint]

He looked his age & West/Diaw/LMA were playing well.

All 3. Yep. Now just stir a soupçon of Boban into the stew!

[Raven]

Whats up with Timmy? Only played 7 mins that 1st half.

not much, pop has clearly started the rebuilding process. He will play timmy when the matchup will call for it, he's not much use against howard and capela.

Kawhi with 14 pts, 5/5 fg after getting ignored the whole 1st quarter

Coincidentally Porker was on the bench for the majority of the 2nd quarter

The unit with him in it went for a good few minutes 5-6, maybe more without scoring except for some Danny 3s. I think Pop wanted to speed the tempo up.

They really needed to go to Kawhi more early.

The Evolution

[SpursIndonesia]

patty mills, tbh..he singlehandedly prevented us from blowing out this ..

our two PGs has been horrid in this matchup..

Yeah, TP is truly bothered by Houston length down low while Patty is just in bad streak this game from outside. When our offensive PGs are cucked like this game, it was such a luxury to have a third defensive PG who can make a difference defensively like CoJo.

if only the big3 came to play

TD is the worst man, i start to think his knee is really bothering him or something, with all due respect, he is just basically a dead ballast tonight.

[007nites]

The Big Croissant is playing well

[TheGreatYacht]

bic50 is nowhere to be seen when Parker is getting attacked. got

Kiwi white knight

[NASpurs]

Coincidentally Porker was on the bench for the majority of the 2nd quarter

He's rounding into playoff form

[$pursDynasty]

I am a MVParker guy and I admit, he, Timmy and Manu not looking good so far, might need for hot Verde, Kiwi and LMA carry us tonight. Maybe let Bobo run the offense.

[sasaint]

not much, pop has clearly started the rebuilding process. He will play timmy when the matchup will call for it, he's not much use against howard and capela.

Possibly. Your crystal ball may be clearer than most.

[TheGreatYacht]

Good on Kiwi to go at the tiest defender in the NBA Bickerstaff didn't respect our role player. Little did he know that Kiwi was a regular season player

[007nites]

Timmy needs to post up Dwert

[DenialTwist]

Guess Pop noticed there was a discrepancy lol It's ok, ball don't lie. But Kawhi needs to demand the ball, the leading scorer should not have to beg for it. Danny needs to keep getting some shots too, he has the hot hand. Limit Mills' and Parker's shots in the second half, they just don't have it tonight.
