Has anybody taken a look at the +/- of our bench compared to our starters? Damn

[bklynspursfan]

Malone talking like a lineup change is coming

[bklynspursfan]

Double

I don't think that would help them. They could try to go small but the Spurs can easily match that

[Spurs fever]

Malone pissed lol

[ducks]

Denver coach calling out starters

[ducks]

Lma better go off in game 4
His turn

[ducks]

Denver will make sure white does not beat them time for the bs to hit shots from deep

[RD2191]

This is why we want to see wins and playoff births instead of tanking for a marginally better draft pick you miserable cliff jumping wrist slitting piece of ing .

Watch yo mouth, son. Put some respeck on Mugens name.

[bklynspursfan]

Murray said they gotta throw some counters at the Spurs cause they know what's coming playing the same team over and over lol

[Millennial_Messiah]

Malone gonna bench Jamal Murray for... Harris?

[ducks]

Thank God the game Saturday is on tnt

[bklynspursfan]

Panic mode initiated.

[james evans]

When White caught fire, I just knew popovich was gonna put him at the end of the bench and allow us to go down by 12.

[Nathan89]

Time to hand the keys to White. He needs to stay aggressive.

[Mugen]

I'd rather they start Beasley if it means Barton against the bench lineup. Beasley and Morris have absolutely obliterated the trash backcourt of Beli and Fatty (unsurprisingly) so anything to change up that matchup is a plus for the Spurs tbh.

[Mugen]

Best news is that I don't have to listen to ing Dennis Scott and Isiah Thomas this series anymore.

[HarlemHeat37]

Denver's only advantage in this series was their bench athleticism and quality..we all knew that Morris and Beasley would get theirs..the problem is that advantage is irrelevant when Barton and Murray are playing so poorly and Jokic just can't dominate a game against a playoff gameplan..

I just don't see what they could change, strategically..have to hope their chuckers make shots, that's it..

[SpurSpike]

Did they interview White after the game on NBATV? I was watching on FSSW and they failed to...

[$pursDynasty]

No Spur player postgame interviews yet,

[cjw]

Malone gonna bench Jamal Murray for... Harris?

Isaiah Thomas. White would score 80.

Yep. He said he was celebrating the victory and performance by taking his parents out to dinner.

I told you that pillsbury doughboy was overrated.

They'll probably:
-Start Beasley over Barton
-Stop doubling LMA
-Probably try to run Murray through as many as screens as possible to free him up

Murray will play better but the Spurs are picking on him on defense as well, they're running him ragged and the dude sees DWhite's shadow every time he gets past him.....

Jokic is going to have put up 30+ for them from here on out for them to get back in the series tbh....
