Game Thread: Spurs vs Cavs -- Thurs. (1/14) - 7:00PM CST (3:00AM Riga Time)

He was terrible against Detroit TBH. I do wonder if something personal is up. Two games in a row is unusual. He hasn't had those all season. His only other really poor game was Toronto, and he had literally been sick.
This? I expected him to come with fire specially after the Detroit game.

He isn't going to expend excessive energy on offense when he has to guard LeBron for 40 minutes. He is doing a good job on Lebron & it's the switches that are screwing up the team.

The person that doesn't have any excuse is LMA who is a status on defense & playing like Ayres on offense.

[benefactor]

Spurs gonna beat that pussy hole to death in the second half

[ElNono]

Hard to watch Kevin Love outplaying LMA, tbh... better take it to the next level in the 2nd half

[sasaint]

Starters not named Parker 3 for 19

Will not repeat in the second half.

[BillMc]

I still give us about a 55% chance to win this game.

[ceperez]

I really hope LMA steps it up in the second.

He better deliver consider Spurs are paying him max money.

[RD2191]

RD is man enough to admit when TP is playing well. Less honest posters go invisible man until they can. I respect that; call players out when they play like crap but give respect when it is due.

I used to be Parkers biggest fan. Called him the best PG in the NBA when everyone was riding CP3. He had a year last year but he's making up for it this season. Hope he can keep it going and the Spurs go all the way. Timmy deserves to go out on top!

[GSH]

About time Parker helped us out properly, he's just paying back all the bail outs he's received, including finals.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Two games in a row, his offense looks tentative and weak. If he doesn't have a bug, the Spurs have a problem.

Maybe it's permanent and he turns out to be a far worse contract than DanMarco Mureen. Meh.

[TheGreatYacht]

Not gonna give LMA and Kawhi yet, but they need to step up in the second half.

MVParker, taking a on the "Start Paddy" Krew though

[thiste]

YEAH

[kaji157]

He better deliver consider Spurs are paying him max money.

He is winning more money than Manu and Tony ever did... Also Kawhi...

[TheDoctor]

The fact that Leonard and Aldridge have been absolute no-shows on offense is concerning.

I dont know if concerning, long season, but still they look kinda nervous.

[Arcadian]

FG% will regress to the mean for both teams. Spurs will be right back in this.

See?

Q1: Cavs 61% Spurs 31%
Q2: Cavs 51% Spurs 40%

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I still give us about a 55% chance to win this game.

analytics say 38.7% with a 6 point deficit

[Ron Swanson]

That tweet to Shaq...

[Kawhitstorm]

I really hope LMA steps it up in the second.

The Cavs are going to start trapping Tony so he's going to get his mid-range looks, it's a matter of him knocking them down.

[pgardn]

Tim can't move.

Some sequence in this game killed him.
Hope he gets his 40 yo legs back

[tholdren]

How in the are you going to lump Kawhi w/ LMA in this game? He had two shots pop out while Lebron had two shot roll in; Kawhi could easily be 4-7 & LeBron 4-10 meanwhile LMA is doing absolutely nothing & got outplayed by West.

It's LMA/Tim that are wetting the bed & Kawhi has been the 2nd best starter.

Lol its ok that he missed the shots bc they were close. Gtfo

[UNT Eagles 2016]

YEAH

Not Diaw tonight though, sadly.

[Nathan89]

Green really got my hopes up when he dribble into that 1st 3pt shot and nailed it. I was thinking Danny really does come to play in the big games. Then his legs started shaking on the corner 3.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

See?

We're not quite "back in this", last time we cut the lead to 2 they went back up 15.

[thiste]

Also, what's up with half our shots going in and out tonight?

[RD2191]

3 of our starters are a combined 1-12. Kawhi is ting the bed but it isn't all on him.
