Game Thread: Spurs vs Pacers -- Sun. (1/21) - 6:00/C (2:00am Riga Time)

At least Murray took the perimeter shot when wide open last night. He missed, but more importantly he took the shot. I’ve also heard people criticizing LMA’s play and I have to say the Pacers doubled him and tried to trap him every time he touched the ball. Good effort by Gasol, TP, KA, and Bryn shot 50%.

We didn't look good. These last two games have been hard to watch with our the woes with our offense.

That's the problem when 60% of your offense falls on one guy's shoulders. If LMA has a bad shooting night, it's going to be very difficult for Spurs to win games unless someone else starts picking up the scoring load.

Lamarcus is shooting like 28% the last two games on high usage. He may be starting to get worn out. He has played heavy minutes an has to play on both on ends

Good point about LA being worn out. I think he might just deserve a rest (the first time this season where I think someone on the team has earned a rest). This is the time you should rest LA for a game or two, but unfortunately the dip Pop wasted rest games when players were healthy and not gassed, and in the process of doing that, he threw away a few completely winnable games. If he played everyone in those few "rest" games, the Spurs might have been able to afford to rest LA right now. I don't know if they can rest him at all, as the Spurs really need LA so they don't completely capsize. I'm not sure they can beat anyone without him, well at least I don't think they can with the way everyone else has been playing lately.

The opera and symphony are separate organizations. Not sure about the opera, but the symphony ran out of funding and is suspending operations.

Thanks for the info. Which one is Gasol into? Opera or Symphony? or both?

It's disgusting to watch a team where no one can penetrate and create, either for themselves or others. So much of the shot clock spent on passing it around the three point line back and forth from a bunch of guys who can't even get in a three without help.

Simmons could get to the rim without a pick. He could draw help. He could finish or pass. And still defend. And was under control for cheap.

But tonight was a taste of Spurs ball through 2021 when Manu retires.

Mills and other scrubs unable to create, penetrate, finish.

Forbes and Tony got inside against this team. But this team is Memphis.
