    Poop is gonna start David Lee's bum ass isn't he
    He's going to play him 35 minutes cause he's a vet that can articulate his feelings.

    I'd rather trap harden then make quick switches. Spurs mostly switched without any hesitation and lived with reality of having LMA guarding harden and it was not giving us any good. Thing of course with traps are that james is a great passer and can find an open guy. So if the Spurs wants to try that it's important to shut down first pass and Spurs knows the % of where those passes go.

    And for sakes - kill them inside - esp with Capela out

    Capella is out?

    He's a consummate professional with good character, the quintessential spur

    Exactly. Kawhi being a great defender doesn't mean much if he just constantly gets screened off Harden and we end up with Aldridge or Pau on an island.
    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

    Spurs have a history of blowing critical home playoff games. Last year against OKC. LAC the year before that. And OKC in 2012.

    Here's hoping history doesn't repeat itself.
    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!

    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.
