Game Thread: Spurs vs Blazers -- Thurs. (3/17) - 7:30PM CST (3:30AM Riga Time)

[FaM0us Skins]

Mills!

[UNT Eagles 2016]

78 is too much to give up... this . Great offense though, looks like a 2014 esque game

[r0drig0lac]

trills!!!!!

[SPURt]

I wish the Spurs could play like this every game.

[Mnky]

I want more if that! I don't know, he reverts to old habits sometimes against good shot blockers and gets sucked into his jump shots.

Pop has been pushing him to it. I think having Miller, a career play maker, was part of Tony's development in that area. The day after Miller started and the team all praised his ability to make the game easier for them, Parker responded with his season high in assists at the bulls.

C.I.A. pop might salvage Tony's career after all.

[ElNono]

He's been able to rebuild a team everyone thought would be tanking and he has a lot of very young unproven players outside Lillard. CJ didn't even have much experience b4 this season.

CJ is legit though. He's mainly the reason they've been compe ive, even if basically they're a ty team

[Kawhitstorm]

Turnobili

[timtonymanu]

Hopefully Verde and MVPatty save that for Saturday

[ElNono]

great assist by manu...

[UNT Eagles 2016]

I'm expecting Parker to guard Curry, tbh. But Pop will try to make sure Raymond and Cory Matthews are contained on Saturday.

So we lose the WCF in 5?

[BillMc]

Manu with a little luck on St. Patty's Day.

[Kawhitstorm]

CJ is legit though. He's mainly the reason they've been compe ive, even if basically they're a ty team

He's the new Monta Ellis

[Budkin]

Full gear go for Saturday!

[Silver&Black]

At least the Celtics are playing really well.



I don't get it though, it's not an pity award

I'm not saying he should win it at all. My $$$ is on Stevens. But, that's why he's getting a little attention for COTY.

[timtonymanu]

I'm talking about the Saturday game. Dubs would sweep.

[SpurPadre]

I wish the Spurs could play like this every game.

Nah, this is far from their best defensively.

[SPURt]

LMA and Tony looking like Stockton and Malone tonight

[ElNono]

So, what we should be talking about from here to Saturday is why do we coast so much in the 1st half, and how that's gonna kill us against the Dubs, amirite?

[EVAY]

great assist by manu...

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Soooooo we re-signed Dunbar, happy about that. All we need now is to keep Hardy and Jack Crawford. Word is that Jerry/Stephen are having second thoughts about the Hardy situation because we struck out in signing a pass rusher in free agency and really need an impact player on the other side of D-Law badly.

Tony should embrace this new role. Get everyone going. .. once everyone has it going and they lay off that pick and roll/pop he can take that jumper or drive in.

This is the best role for him. Some nights/matchups he can be aggressive shooting and driving. But ideally this is best to keep the offense flowing

I think he's been embracing this role, it jst looks better tonight because guys are making shots.

[Kawhitstorm]

why do people mention Terry Stotts for COTY, tbh? He's still running the same gimmicky "system" and CJ and Lollard are pretty decent

B/c the Blazers have a better record than the preseason "Biggest Threat to the Worriers": Rockets

[TheGreatYacht]

"He's gonna get my MVP vote"

- Mike Rice

Huh?

[SPURt]

Nah, this is far from their best defensively.

That's true. I'm just happy seeing them hit their open shots

[SpurPadre]

Just checking, this is a career high in assists for TP, right?
