Game Thread: Spurs @ Warriors -- Mon. (1/25) - 9:30PM CST (5:30AM Riga Time)

[SPURt]

On the bright side, we found out Simmons can contribute in a playoff series against the Warriors.

[ducks]

Duncan coaching Lma would be nice

[100%duncan]

seriously, relying on a 38 year old to bail you out. Our "future" stars need to step up and grab this game by the balls. Stop being gots.

LMA is nothing without Tim holding his hand.

[Slime Baller]

And now we get to listen to a bunch of talking heads talk up the Warriors as though this one half is the definitive answer to all potential future match ups.

[tbdog]

Curry wont miss.
Leonard not getting shots up
Refs not calling the hacks
LMA stinking it up
Turnovers

Yet, we are just holding on. I really don't know how. We have had, what one three pointer?

[ElNono]

weird Harlem is posting and SAGirl isn't, tbh

[SinceWeDraftedDROB]

Punt. Fml, tbh.

[keeferob25]

Its one game but it seems fairly clear that we don't present a single matchup problem for GS while they cause a plethora of matchup issues.

[sasaint]

Nothing to really say about the 1st half outside of: layup drill + turnovers + nothing from Aldridge = blowout

Hopefully man shows us some glimpses of what he can do in the 2nd half, at least..

I think we have seen what he can do. I'm not crazy about it. People calling him LMAlpha.

[HarlemHeat37]

3 shot attempts for Kawhi is beyond ridiculous, tbh..

Curry and Thompson are going to get their points(Thompson has 11 points on 8 shots, which is good, but nothing crazy), but giving up a bunch of points to the rest of the Warriors is killing the Spurs, along with the turnovers..11 points in the 1st half from Livington is fatal..

They're having arguably the best run in NBA history, for a reason, though..it's virtually impossible to match-up with them, man for man..

[td4mvp21]

I figured Spurs would lose but this is embarrassing.

Still, gotta see how the second half shakes out. If nothing else this will keep the team humbled and hungry.

Perhaps the only plus side is they'll know they have a lot of work to do.

[SanDiegoSpursFan]

Spurs bench getting outscored is a huge problem. Its almost a given that the starters get outplayed in the 1st quarter, the bench needs to be able to make up the difference.

[Ron Swanson]

Somewhere in Texas Tim is sleeping.

More likely

[crc21209]

Aldridge has been pretty damn bad. But man...Green gets away with aome that not even Kawhi gets away with. He uses his body to defend very well, problem is he's using his body so much to the point that it SHOULD be a foul, but they wont call it. Aldridge needs to back his ass down...

[BillMc]

Really surprised with the trouble LMA is having especially with Green.

[Nathan89]

Baynes wouldn't be getting bullied like LMA to be quite ing honest. Going forward LMA is going have to learn how to score more off pnr and off ball screen action. He needs more Baynes and Splitter type scores in his game.

[Box]

They need to erase the box score and just put lack of energy and stupid turnovers in bright bold letters so hopefully the Spurs realize how they lose this game.

[th3answ3r]

we have to endure

[cutewizard]

cmonnnn i hate the wariors

[Mnky]

Its on the entire team. I was just surprised the veterans came this out of whack.
Anderson struggling I understand, even expect... but the veterans have shocked me.

LMA needs to show up, or get to the bench. I said this is the game he is supposed to help lift the spurs with. It's his shooting that makes that possible tho. Just like west had a bunch of good shots and shot over smaller guys, lma should be doing.
Kawhi is a non factor on defense and offense so far. He is the bigger dissapointment in my opinion as the whole year has revolved around him and his tools.

I'll give the role players a pass for now. Diaw, west, and Simmons playing good. They need help. Parker wanted to play curry like he's in the same league. That ship has sailed Parker..

[NASpurs]

LMA is nothing without Tim holding his hand.

No I'm talking about the Spurs relying on Manu too much tonight.

[Ibleedslvrnblk]

This is precisely the kind of game in which LMA needs to make a big contribution. Otherwise, his signing must be deemed a bust.

I think we should Blatt him after tonight. Just toss him away after one game. Totally agree. Maybe they should look to trade KL while we are at it

[SAGirl]

I knew Livingston would be a problem. We need to put Manu or Kyle against them.

I don't know what to say.
Pop is still trying to win this thing, but it may be beyond salvaging.
I know Kyle was very poor in his minutes, but so were the vets and he's a 22 yr old with little experience. I say throw him and Boban to the fire, let them grow a pair TBH, and let the veterans show them some cojones too.

It is still too painful to watch this discombobulation.

[Nathan89]

Aldridge has been pretty damn bad. But man...Green gets away with aome that not even Kawhi gets away with. He uses his body to defend very well, problem is he's using his body so much to the point that it SHOULD be a foul, but they wont call it. Aldridge needs to back his ass down...

He gets to play the roughest game in the NBA. Is unbelievable the force he gets to utilize on defense.

[TE]

If Duncan was playing and the out of character play continued, I'd be really worried. I'm just worried kinda. This is the team that will be there at the end before a possible finals berth.
