Game Blog: Spurs vs Kings - Jan. 20 (7:30 PM CST)

[ElNono]

Tony really sloppy with the ball

[Obstructed_View]

Not really... I really don't feel comfortable at all when he's dribbling out there

That's because you read the scouting report. Discomfort aside, how many times has he actually done something wrong?

[ElNono]

BTW, this should be our starting lineup with Manu for Neal

[SanAntonioSpurs23]

I dream of the line-up

Parker
Manu
Leonard
Duncan
Splitter...

[DPG21920]

Great take by Tyreke there. Got past Kawhi and finished over length.

[easy7]

Duncan!!!!!!!!

[angelbelow]

Duncan and Splitter to close it out.

Definitely what I'm dying to see. Its not the end of the world if Bonner comes in before Splitter but ultimately have splitter play more minutes and finish games out with Duncan. From there we can make adjustments.

[Fermixalot]

What a move by Evans. Holy

[ElNono]

That's true...

[ElNono]

down 3... not bad at all after that awful start

pow

[easy7]

Spurs down by 3 end of half...

[DPG21920]

Overall can't complain about the comeback. That was crucial because the gas needed to overcome double digits in the second half would be tough.

[pgardn]

finally some decent D against Evans.

[Spurs Brazil]

down 3 is not that bad after that pathetic 1st quarter

[loveforthegame]

Evans destroying the Spurs. Getting whatever he wants.

At least we're only down 3. They thankfully cut into that lead before the half.

to be frank, I still remember his first possession in the NBA => A turnover trying to dribble past rudy gay... but that could've been just being nervous

I've said a thousand times, Bonner should be gunning when he's in and on the bench if he's not or if they aren't going in. You can put him in for two minutes at a time at various points in the game, but I want him shooting threes and only kept in when they're going in. That'll never happen, though.

[timtonymanu]

Much better effort.

Spurs just need to keep chipping away. Kings will cool off and were already cooling off there, hopefully.

[Barfunk]

I dream of the line-up

Parker
Manu
Leonard
Duncan
Splitter...

Keep dreaming, in your dreams bub etc etc lol

[BRs.Ganso]

Bonner 9 min 2 PT 3 REB 1PF 1 AST (-1)
Splitter 9 min 4 PT 3 REB 1TO 1 AST (+8)

No, that's fair. I asked the question, after all. I've done the same thing as you when I've watched him, but it doesn't seem to be nearly the weakness I feared it would be going into the season. In short, I'm pretty pleased with the pick. Having him outplay Batum was very satisfying.

[Fireball]

we will eventually win this game ... but Parker has to play heavy minutes because Joseph does not cut it

[Fireball]

Bonner 9 min 2 PT 3 REB 1PF 1 AST (-1)
Splitter 9 min 4 PT 3 REB 1TO 1 AST (+8)

this not even tells half the story ... especially of what happened on the defensive end

[Capt Bringdown]

Spurs starting 5 just 8 for 21, according to Yahoo. Leonard hasn't even attempted a shot?
RJ with his usual 1 for 4.
