Capella is out?
He's going to play him 35 minutes cause he's a vet that can articulate his feelings.
Capella is out?
He's a consummate professional with good character, the quintessential spur
Kawhi needs to go under screens...Instead of switching...Seems like Pop is intent on the switch tho
Stick to the game 3 game plan and we win going away. hardon will likely have even less help seeing that it's a road game. Let him go for 50, give up layups if you have to just no 3's to get these s going. And they must be smart offensively so if they miss they can still get back on D.
With the way Harden is shooting, going under screen's isn't a great idea. Then you add in that it's a simple (but illegal) move for the big to "pop" out Against Kawhi to force a switch, and you can see why they don't do it.
The barrage of 3's. Will be tough. You can only do so much as far as defense goes. Does it really come down to them being hot or cold? I don't see any other way. And I'm saying that because our offense, despite Houston's porous defense, can't get us enough points to negate their, shall i say, luck based system.
Pop is unlikely to open with a small ball rotation. have LMA out there at the 4. I do think we'll play more minutes with Kawhi at the 4. If LMA starts attacking the rim it's a different story. Jumpers over little guys will need to stop.
Playing the rockets is like playing a little kid in Madden he'll hit a few bombs for touchdowns but if you stay the course you will win if you try to play like a kid you will lose
or clinching the 2014 le, the 2005 le, 2003 le, being 3-0 at home in the memphis series just this year, etc
LMA made it very clear he did not want to play center. He does not want to be the only big man on the floor.
Can't get this dude off the team soon enough.
when the rockets go small... we really cant match up with them very well on D. the only way to counter it is to bully them in the paint and force THEM to adjust.
and yet he's been at the 5 for tons of minutes throughout his time on the spurs. 30% of the time this year, 45% last season. this is a dead narrative
is it luck to play with analytics as your basis? to make the most efficient shot? gimmicky yes.
You know, it is possible to attack a small lineup without going through the post. Let Simmons, Kawhi, and Murray attack the rim. Rockets can't stop that.
Apa's favorite player Ryan is not going to start tonight, so we're looking at Bevery, Gordon, Harden, Ariza and Capela. Seems easy enough to match that by starting any of Simmons, Anderson or Bertans. I'd prefer Kyle for versatility, but you could probably have guessed that. Bertans should get minutes in one of the units, though. And Simmons will get time regardless.
Stop playing David Lee! They score over him or he turns the ball over! Play Dedmon, we need rebounds!
He also makes the bench quite bad when he plays with them uggggg

It might have to do with the 2 big lineup forcing Lamarcus to defend on the perimeter. If that were the case, I would expect adjustments... otherwise spurfan summer starts early.
Exactly... the league isnt exactly filled with bruisers at the 5 anymore anyway
No. More. White. American. Players. On. The. Team.
Bonner and Lee suck . Is Pop trying to pander to white cuckservatives?
They're absolutely useless....
But David Lee can articulate his thoughts in a proffesional manner better than Anyone in the team..
When on bench - Jesus
You worded it weird and got my hopes up
