good game dude.
We don't know whether Dijon was the Hood stopper because, there is a micro-sample to go by. But that's the point. Our small-ballers were getting torched. Why not stick Dijon on him and see how he could do? It couldn't have been worse than 50Mills et al.
They were literally in the last 3-5 mins of the game. Check the link I put for DAF86 so you guys can see the facts.
im just saying I didn't see him having a high impact. Some nights I do. Tonight it seemed he was just out there when Patty got hot honestly.
Lamarcus wasn't an all star tonight. i thought he was tired at times, and frankly Pau's passing was missed.
If Pau keeps injured, Pop has to make adjustments.
Maybe Pau will be fine but groin injuries are a nag. I don't know what to expect with the team's injuries at this point.
I agree. It may have helped for sure. Idk if it would've Been enough because once TP went out, we had no one scoring the ball.
So yeah, you can't remember Murray constantly being constantly punished on D.
Look son, all I'm saying is that I think Pop ed up with the Tony-Forbes for Murray-Patty subs ution to start the 4th. Patty and Murray aren't on minutes restriction, just ride with the lineup that was getting it done untill you see that it stops getting it done, tbh. That's where the game was lost imho.
Might just need to start Anderson at the 4, but it'll be matchup dependent I'm sure. Guys have off nights, no big deal. I just think if Aldridge plays decent we win. Stupid fouls, missing easy shots, etc..
LMA hasn't been an All-Star for a small stretch of games even before tonight.
Pretty sure Spurs got within 1 somewhere at the end of the 3rd too, tbh. But anyways 1, 2; it's the same ing deal. That lineup was working and got us withing a single possession. You break up the lineup and got back to double digits by the time Tony got back to the bench.
I mean you're literally using a 2 min sample size, but sure son. I feel like Hood has played well even when we've had Green/Kawhi were in there in the past. Maybe Murray makes him miss 1 or 2, but with no one else scoring the ball it's all moot.
They never did... but they got it back within 1 on Parkers in in the 4th.. we're arguing over minor things when the fact that Aldridge didn't want to play was the biggest issue
I haven't liked the microlineups all season. this game they lost, but we have seen the torching before.
Pop apparently has lost belief in BP3... but it doesn't seem he's culling the rotation yet, so BP3 should have gotten a look at some point sooner. It just so happened to be one of those games that Forbes was indeed making shots. If he had been cold maybe it's easier for Pop to to pull the plug on the microcombo.
He's not going to bench Patty or Tony no matter how they get torched. I think we know that by know. But at least don't have them together.
We needed Tony and Murray playing together. The one for offense the other to play D on Hood.
And that's exactly what I'm talking about. I'm pretty sure the Spurs got within 1 somewhere on that final stretch of the 3rd too, but if they didn't the point still remains that the Murray, Patty, Gay, Anderson, Lauvergne lineup was the one that got us back and should ahve been the lineup to start the 4th.
And Parker on the 4th was on one positive run swandiched by two negative ones that resulted on him being -8 for the quarter.
Some of us expected Kyle to be the starting 4 with Pau coming off the bench as he did during our run in the last half of last season.
Not sure. I think Kyle was disappointed he missed the free throws, but maybe I misread the situation. He showed frustration about the last miss. You might be on to something.
I thought Kyle in general needed to be more aggressive than he was, specially bc there was a stretch that the entire bench couldn't score and even though Rudy and Murray were aggressive, they weren't making shots and didn't have better shooting nights than he did so... maybe food for thought for him.
hahahaha... good win!
To me it wasn't minor. This was the typical game against a team on a bad stretch and lack of confidence that if we would have got the lead at some point we would have ran away with it. And to me the moment to get that lead was at the start of the 4th if we would have kept the lineup that had it going at the end of the 3rd.
You aren't wrong that his total run in the fourth was negative. But the one-point deficit was with him in, and so BSF was correct in that. I don't think it makes any sense to blame Tony for what happened, though. He played well. , even Forbes was more overmatched than bad. The issue was definitely how many shots they missed right at the rim. Neither Tony or DeJounte made Joff make or miss the passes they gave him. Dude just scrubbed it up.
I'm not blaming Tony, I'm blaming Pop for not sticking with the lineup that ended the 3rd to start the 4th.
If we're being honest, this game was lost in the 1st half with pathetic offense and terrible 3pt defense, tbh... the 3rd quarter was an oasis in the middle of a performance.
Lma went to when kl returned.
Murray is ultimate whale poop. Stick with feminine kyle
The lineup with Murray was only plus-four, though. You make it sound like it was some huge comeback. , that particular lineup you mentioned (Murray, Mills, Gay, Anderson and Joff) was only plus-one during that stretch.
Actually a couple of games beforehand, iirc - that's why I said in another post that he is intimidated by Kawhi's shadow - not just Kawhi, himself.
