This. There was another instance where he jumped a SnR against Thompson at the 3 point line and left Green alone to roll straight to the bucket.
Looking back there's no way Leonard is doing that on his own just for s and giggles.

Wow Chinook you are on a roll today!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I agree with this too.
WTF? right? If we were getting cucked then try other things. Heck as you mentioned lack of an inside presence throw Boban there earlier than the 4th. You know what the defense didn't get much better in the 4th, but we were not outscored either.
Danny got hit with a cut. He wasn't completely blown, but he fouled I think it was Klay. They were calling the stupidest on Danny, and had Timmy been there, Klay doesn't get the cut all the way to the rim. Danny did get hit with cuts, but so did Manu. Kawhi to start the game was the first to let Klay get by him and go the rim on a bounce pass. Simmons was completely lost. I think Pop let him out there to figure it out as a teaching point, and to show LMA that a less heralded guy had more balls basically.
So still good for double or nothing for tonight? (I go up 20.00 or you break even)
That would have been a good experiment. Pop not willing to go away from Mills. In the past Cojo covered so much for him.
To sack it up, he needs opportunities. Tell that to Coach Pop.
Nick Van Mills has been used toilet paper for a long time, nothing to see there
They were switches and double teams, but poorly executed zero communication
Just a terrible game plan execute poorly.
LMA is at the cross-roads now. He's never been in a situation that mattered. Nothing with these expectations. He's been good. Very good. Especially for a guy adjusting to a new scheme & less usage. But this was his first dose of reality when it came to gut check time.
He now at least understands there is a difference in first round teams and WCF teams. He will have to learn what that extra gear means. Will he have enough? I have doubts but I'm not counting him out yet. Let's see how he responds the 2nd half of the year. For better or worse it's on LMA/Kawhi & they have a great supporting cast for stumbling in a moment. But they can't take a backseat the entire ride.
LMA is looking himself in the mirror right now. He can't lie to himself. He has to make the call if he's going to be the player he wants to be. It's not just about talent. He knows that now.
The Spurs very obviously did not gameplan their rotations, switches, and positioning. The Warriors were doubling Kawhi at particular spots on the floor with or without the ball. Positioning against our motion to funnel the ball to Verde and West.
The OP reads like they read stat sheets and don't really watch the games.
This narrative is worse than piggy backing off of Memphis marketing slogans. You lost your right to bag on local sports writers writing talent.
Hi Fuzzy.
The OP reads like they read stat sheets and don't really watch the games.
tell us more about how Lionel Hollis is an elite coach, though..
I never said Hollins was elite. I was disputing your league worst hyperbole. That is about the level of your analysis.
And what is this "we saw" horse . You that far deluded yet?
Your notes were basically on Parker and LMA and give faint praise to Green and West. In it you talk about it like you're reading a stat sheet. Your obtuse to my point about what the Warriors were doing.
You don't dispute any of that. Your analysis is . You just whine about my character like a .

The sam mitc of spurstalk if every poster was an NBA coach.
But it was the only that worked on offense, Kawhi has a favorable matchup against Barnes and Thompson and the team should help him to exploit it consistently.
Also, you say that when a player "has it going on, you give him the ball", Kawhi was the only one effective along with West. Not sure why they didn't call his number more often in the game.
It's obvious it won't work in "every possession" , but could have given us a chance to keep in the game in the 2nd quarter...at least until the rest of the Spurs offense start to figure out some answers to Warriors D on our pick and roll.

I remember that conversation too. You were trolling racist hyperbole and complaining about the last play of that year's Memphis series where you were complaining about the play only being 'a simple pnr.' I pointed out that they used Gasol as the play initiator and ran Conley off a double screen on the weakside before the playside pick. It got Conley with a full head of steam in the lane on a switch. He is their best finisher.
Splitter made a great defensive play on the switch but you clearly demonstrated there too you didn't know what the you were talking about.

This thread never made an attempt to thoroughly analyze plays, I'm not a former High School coach that is attempting to drop a vanilla analysis on the sets that were ran in the game like you do in virtually all your boring, irrelevant, largely ignored posts..
The only reason I'm even aware of your existence on this forum is because you've been following me around for years(since I destroyed you re: NBA coaches)..

So your response is to characterize me as a high school coach in a demographic I presume you find unfavorable. This is supposed to dispute my claim that you don't know what the you're talking about how?
You did a roster analysis for a game. You can call it whatever else you want. Mutual exclusivity and the ability to see and anticipate it is a huge blinder of yours. Cuts through and clarifies. You remain obtuse to the larger dynamics of what is actually going on on the court.
Not surprised.
Probably a PE teacher that was assinged as a coach cause no one else would do it.
Laughable takes. Almost always wrong.

But your post was only about hating Parker and Aldridge
I remember when Miami was the Super team, it seems like we could not beat them. But when we play them in finals, it seems like we were the better team. Pop does not want to show his cards until it matters. It is not coincident that most players played bad last night.
