Anderson is an inconsistent player but...

[ceperez]

I disagree. I think a lot if the young teams specially have just pure athletes, but not a talent that brings them all together. Raymond maybe nit so overrated TBH. Diaw when we got him elevate the team even when he wasn't scoring big time. Many young teams have point guards that really don't have court vision or mind for an offense. A different guy who's a better 3 pt shooter but similar in being a forward with passing skill is Batum.

What Kyle needs to take his game to another level is the 3 ball.

[ceperez]

It's not ludicrous. We are just a vet team and run things through Diaw and West in the bench and Manu needs the ball. They have called plays for him when he plays. It's just difficult when you are in and out of the rotation to catch a good rhythm IMO. Definitely this was a development season for him. When Manu retires, maybe we don't even have West or Diaw then we will really need him. By then hopefully he will be stronger, body more developed, plus he will have matured in his game a bit.

Like ceperez said we have no answer for Livingston unless we go to him bc both Patty and Tony were owned. Maybe Pop will live with Livingston hitting shots.

I don't think we can defeat the Warriors w/o relying to a degree on some of the new guys. Maybe we can't defeat them anyway bc Simmons and Anderson are too young/rookie still coming along, to be relied upon, but I don't see the older dudes doing it on their own. Against the GSW and Cavs they looked worse than Anderson.

Livingston is going to kill the Spurs because he's that player in GSW that can make a living hitting the midrange shot. The smaller guards aren't going to be able to cover him, he's just going to destroy them.

I agree with you. I'm not saying we need to rely on KA/Simmons offense to go deep in the playoffs. That would be horrible lol. I'm just saying throwing to KA in the post for a few possessions would be great to give opponents different looks. But like I said, I do agree with you

And he did just that last month which is worrisome. Like damn it's bad enough curry/barnes/thompson were hitting, and then you throw that got into the mix? ugh!!

Who is that on your sig? I want to go find naked pictures of her on the internet.

It's not rocket science. Livingston will obviously be defended by wings, with the "smaller guards" defending Barbosa.

They run plays to get switches you can't hide the small guards. Whoever they were guarding went at them repeatedly or if they got doubled,passed to find cutters.

The Spurs aren't beating them without all of their key players. They need to stop overreacting to every post up. Livingston is too good in the post to live with, but Parker is going to have to guard Barnes for stretches and Mills is going to have to guard Iguodala, with minimal help.

Of course they're going to physically overwhelm them at times and score easily, but you've got to give something up. If they want to milk that and it takes the ball out of Curry's hands for stretches, great. Parker/Mills have to make them pay at the other end.

I wonder why we don't run our offense through KA in the post. We've seen he can score down there and make plays. I was watching GSW/Thunder and man when they went to Livingston in the post like 3-4 plays in a row. I believe the spur can do the same with KA. Of course, most people here will that's ludacris.

And this is why the rappers name selection is weird for me in this case.

The spurs in general needs to stop overreacting. They got murdered doubling the post and curry. One of the main reason they got obliterated.

Yeah. It's mostly natural. When player see a physically overwhelmed teammate being posted up, they want to act like they're not "leaving them on an island" and that they "have their back".

It doesn't look great, but who cares if Barnes/Iguodala puts Parker/Mills under the rim and scores here and there? I'll live with that, if it takes the ball out of Curry's hands and greatly diminishes (they could still get an and one) the possibility of a three.
