Get Parker outta there

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Some people keep claiming that the Spurs defense is one of the best this year. But my eyes keep telling me no. Sort of like the article about Kawhi supposedly hurting the team.

I wouldn't even call the Spurs a top 10 defensive team, I don't get how the metrics seem to be saying otherwise. Maybe they were feasting on cupcake teams.


Will be interesting to see how they fare against a pissed off Cavs team this Saturday.

smh Mills and Green both missing 3's

[BillMc]

Looks like I picked the wrong day to stop sniffin' glue.

Cavs about to rip the Spurs a new asshole on Saturday.

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Yo, where are the delusional Spur fans now? Cry Havoc? This Spurs team is hot garbage.

I am stunned if those guys were serious about the Spurs being le contenders

You're one of my favorite people on Earth, but do you watch basketball outside of SA?

[Robz4000]

Don't have a good feeling about this one. Since New Years the Spurs have been horribly inconsistent on defense; not sure what's going on.

ELE bet?

[Ice009]

Parker has played a poor, poor floor general game IMO. He didn't even look for Kawhi the first half of the 3rd quarter at all.

[BillMc]

Has Lee even played?

[pgardn]

man 90+ allowed in 3 qtrs

They only have 14 pts this qrt.
At least 3 baskets due to turnover outbreaks.
But yeah it's still bad

Yeah, I have league pass with my cable package, and I know we are in an era where defense feels like it's the worst it has been in a long time but I can't even remember the last time the Spurs played a whole game of great defense. It just feels like a layup drill every single time.


I'm also over dramatic

Cavs have lost like 3 of 4

[DPG21920]

Has Lee even played?

Yessir.

[Ice009]

mills

I wouldn't even pay him more than 8 million to return. If he wants more, cya later.

Well, Kyrie won't just drop 50 on TP, he'll his wife after the game.

Come on Spurs you mf's

[Amuseddaysleeper]

Has Lee even played?

Yup, in the first half at least. 6 minutes.

Spurs are up and down and there are real problems, but still time to gel and other teams have problems too.

[BillMc]

Yessir.

Cheers. Must have been first quarter.

[pgardn]

Dedmon with bad footwork underneath

[Darius Bieber]

Cavs have lost like 3 of 4

Spurs will too now. Suns, Bucks, Wolves losses.

[bklynspursfan]

He played in the first , but looks like Pop is riding LMA late into this quarter. He's played well, makes sense. Also, gives him more time w/he and Dedmon which is always good
