21-14 5:16 left when *CIA Pop* took Aldridge out. David Lee comes in.
Lee GNob JSimms Patty and Green.
Team ball immediately kicks in vs Stand n Veg. Same with defense.
21-17 Bertie comes in for Green.
Lee backs down Donkey and scores for like the 4th time.
Defense is also Team. Swarming, tipping passes, causing turnovers.
Just as important, the atmosphere has changed. There is no fear of Golden State whatsoever. Showers y swagger when FearRidge was in is gonzo. The young bucks and GNob have no cowtowing to got State. Durant, Curry and Green all look flustered. Looking to WarriorRef to pamper and bail them out.
26-25 Dejounte and Gasol join in. All the above continues.
33-29 end of 1st qtr. Save for a Dejonte nap that allowed the buzzer beater and look at the turnaround.
19-8 turnaround in 5 minutes.
2nd qtr.
Kyle joins GNob, Bertie, Dejon and Gasol.
Right away Kyle smacks the ball off of Donkey Green for a turnover. Green whines to ref.
Defensively we are tipping passes, deflecting. got State obviously knocked off their comfort game.
37-32 as Dejonte cross overs Iggy for a sweet high banker layup.
41-37 Potato Head calls the time out with 8:33 to go.
Momentum squarely with Spurs.
"Oh we've got momentum and Aldridge is out. I better do something!
Takes Bertie out and puts in Aldridge.
1st two possessions down the floor the Force Feed Aldridge Stand n Veg offense back in effect and stagnating. Aldrige shoots an airball (actually air backboard) and it leads to the 2nd in a row of Golden transition hoops.
You can farking see the energy transferred to Golden State. Who are now very encouraged by the new Spurs lineup.
43-41 Golden as within about a minute or two they have retaken the lead.
Timeout by CIA Pop.
43-43 as Bertie does the rebound flush dunk. Even Mark Jackson, zero basketball IQ Mark Jackson says "you find minutes for a guy like that."
Yet another Aldrige brick as Pop has obviously ordered more Force Feed.
Bricks Danny Green is also useless.
47-47 as JSimms hits a trey.
Timeout Potato Head.
Will Popped put Dejounte and maybe even Kyle back in? Pull Softridge and Green?
no.
Out trots SoftRidge and Danny after the timeout.
Dejounte, Kyle, Dedman still benched.
pops small ball lineup has gotten the best outcome for him, but when he chases down the lead, he goes and subs them for his big pos lineup
he will always need to have 1 big with his 4 smalls lineup...doesn't helpt that the big is a pos who doesn't box out to rebound, u notice kawhi has out rebounded them bigs individually/combined, cause he doesn't trust them to secure a rebound...
anyway... 4 smalls rotation kawhi/simmons/green/ginoboli/mills/parker/murry/Anderson/bertans/forbes
future will have hanga + fa signing maybe either of cp3 or ghill...with 2-3 existing guys on perimeter rotation gone/traded hopefully mills+green with parker+ginoboli retiring
leaving spurs with
cp3 or ghill/murry/forbes
simmons/hanga
kawhi/Anderson/bertans
The topper is when Aldridge is in as the one big, Poop orders the Force Feed Stand n Veg offense. Defensively Aldridge offers next to zippo for rim protection. Absolutely kills the Spurs and feeds the Warriors.
With Gasol and then Energies in we wiped out the deficit and took the lead and had all the momentum.
I think with Dedman and Gasol alternating with 4 Energies we continue to run their asses off the court.
Sick of hearing how Golden State cannot be stopped or run with. It's a myth.
