    Honestly, you could probably name at least 3-4 "keys" that need to happen for the Spurs to beat them in a series..there definitely isn't just 1 or 2..

    If Danny Green could shoot 25 % on wide open 3s this is an entirely different game.... WTF Danny? We don't need great from him we just need ok .... He also tends to keep his head in the game better when he is making shots.

    Turd Option 2015 vs the Clips is better?

    Obviously not. The Spurs don't have any good options vs the Warriors unfortunately.

    Great. I'm sure the Warriors are scared less right now.

    Stop with those pathetic homer threads, playing Manu and to thing he could be any positive will be a joke...

    It doesn't matter how they feel. Nobody else on this team (except perhaps Tim, but he's a bad matchup against the Dubs) wants to take ownership and lead when the hits the fan... I'm not saying Manu will be our savior, but he's a guy that will do that. Hopefully he has enough in the tank for one last great run, otherwise we're probably not going to get it done.

    That's the lineup I wanted to see today, with West instead of Boris, of course. The closest we got was Mills instead of Green.

    And Pop knows too, tbh... notice how he didn't want to play him in the 4th in the last two games...

    Spurs are fine, tbh, we just gotta prepare for the Cavs, we haven't played them much this season...
    If Manu is the key to beating the dubs like you say he is, then his stat lines for this game and last are pretty underwhelming even for a 38 yr old. Maybe you made a slight miscalculation there buddy. I don't see the guy averaging 10-12 point and 7 assists anytime soon.

    Sad thing for Manu is that he still has the mind of his prime-years, but the body of a 40 year old. That's why he always gets his turnovers. It's sad to finally realize you can no longer do the things you used to do... Especially since Manu was a beast. If somehow Manu can get his body to do just 30% of his prime-self, it'll be a gamechanger.

    With a line up like that they can switch everything and not get abused in a mismatch. Somebody lock Danny in a gym
    Popovich isn't putting parker on the bench. That isn't gonna happen. He gonna continue to let pgs him up on defense as he ads nothing on offense but dribbling and missed jumpers until he retires.

    No room for mistakes. And that's very hard with our frontcourt lately

    Looking at our offense, it's not scoring he needs to do, just be a floor general and do actual playmaking, directing traffic and making sure everybody executes. The biggest failure of our offense is that half the time we don't know what we're running, or when a play breaks down, we turn into an iso machine, instead of penetrate and kick, pick and roll, etc. He doesn't even need to rack up assists directly, but get the ball moving, get the team moving... he's good at that.

    EDIT: He's also like 2193082193821094732742398423798 times better handling the rock and dribbling a basketball than Danny Green, tbh. Love Danny and his defense, but his offense is just so putrid right now, he can't even do basic stuff.

    it, just give Ginobili limited mins (12-18 per game) in the first two rounds. Then unleash the beast in the WCF

    Boris Diaw. We can match the dubs small ball and he would be able to kill anyone in the post, pretty much how Livingston does to our guys. Also yeah crazy Cojo would be able to help us out a lot he's also a penetrator and is fearless I'd take him over Patty any day, it's to bad

    An arm and a leg for Kawhi and LMA having Manu's mind. That would be enough to beat them.

    manu showed a lot tonight. would not mind starting him against golden state.

    i don't want tony starting anymore. i'd rather miller back up patty... but pop wouldn't just not play parker sooo... his role should be to come off the bench looking solely to score. he's not chris paul and he needs to stop wanting to be. he needs to be effective without the ball.

    POP didn't have a leader out there. I don't know if it was a test for Kawhi and LMA since you can never tell with CIA Pop. The other night he had Patty being the leader in crunch tIme in a game we lost and it was a disaster, so Pop is not above sacrificing games to teach younger players lessons. We have seen him have Simmons struggle with his ball handling in crunch time, etc. But he wanted to put guys in situations.
    Which is why we can't take these results with so much doom and gloom. Even this late in the season Pop is still developing younger players.

    However, games he is not sacrificing for the sake of development, the vets will be needed. Manu will be needed and I agree with you. Tony and Tim too for that same reason.
