this team is still Manu's what's he trying to do take the reigns from him

[urunobili]

I would have scored a flat A. Other than that, can't disagree more. I'm so happy that Parker picked up his game...

Ty Lawson A+++++
Ty destroyed the confidence of the Mavs for the entire 2011-2012 season. He showed just how slow the Mavs are, how old they are, and how easy it is to beat them. He could have been wearing a black and white jersey out there because that is how much he helped the Spurs. I expect Pop will get a copy of the Nuggets-Mavs game and use this as the blueprint on how to destroy the Mavs. Expect to see TP taking long walks with Ty and getting pointers on how to make the Mavs his

Tiagos net impact was greater than many whos grade is higher?

Yes,but he can play better.Same Parker.

If i'm not wrong the grades it's about how well they play.Not about who has the best numbers or the biggest impact in the game. A bad TP is going to have a better impact in the game than a great Ford.

Example: It's not the same grade If Parker scores 15 and has 5 assist than if Ford does it. Parker doesn't have to play at his best level to do those numbers but surely Ford could deserve an A+

parker had a forgettable first half but recovered quite nicely. 7 assists and 4 steals really helped the spurs even if he couldn't get his offense.

[Hooks]

Leonard was a very good slasher in college, that's how he got the majority of his offense. He's a terrible shooter, but I think eventually his shot will fall especially since he's a hard worker and the Spurs have a great shooting coach.

Manu Ginobili A

Tony Parker F

Love the triple brackets.

[spurs10]

Thanks for the grades!! I thought Tiago gave a very strong defensive effort and basically neutralized Zac Randolf. JA and Kawhi also were high energy and showed promise. I'd swap Blair and Tiago's grade, as without Tiago's contribution we are likely in a dogfight. Manu was much improved with two arms! Badass to be more specific. TP redeemed himself quite a bit in the 2nd half....Great to see'em back!

[Werdsniper2]

Love the grades. I think people really underrated defense. Tiago, TD and Kawhi all had awesome defensive games. I look forward to more in the future.

[SenorSpur]

Bonner was clearly the absolute WORST Spur on the court tonight. He was even ty by his usual " ty", big-game standards. It really makes one continue to wonder WHY he still occupies a roster spot on this team? After all, this roster already has enough floor-spreading shooters. Therefore, you have to wonder how much better would this team would be with a true big, who could actually rebound, score and block shots, instead of a fake SF in a big forward's body? Utter disgrace.

[MannyIsGod]

I was very happy with Anderson, Lenoard, and Splitter. Leonard especially on the loose balls and intangibles. Anderson looked smooth (even if he missed a few too many for my liking).

Made me a bit more enthusiastic for the season.

Which one?

[Obstructed_View]

Pretty nice to see that the Spurs can come out and shoot so terribly at the beginning of the game, lose their starting front line to foul trouble, and then blow the game open with defense.

[Obstructed_View]

Which one?

Which one wouldn't be an upgrade over Bonner?

[ChumpDumper]

Which one wouldn't be an upgrade over Bonner?

So who?

[The_Worlds_finest]

Just looking at the box score, had the spurs shot better, this would have been a major blow out.

[Obstructed_View]

So who?

You're the D League expert. I'm asking your expert opinion. Name a legitimate 4 or 5 that isn't an upgrade over Bonner on the nights that Bonner isn't going 5 of 6 from three point range.

My dumbassed opinion is that I don't see how the two guys they cut over the last week are a step down in any way. Tell me why I'm wrong.

There's a reason people were excited about Pops Mensah Bonsu, and it's not because he lights the ing world up, it's because he lights the ing world up in comparison to Matt Bonner.

[SenorSpur]

So if ever a situation arises that Duncan, Blair and Splitter get into major foul trouble, or worse yet one suc bs to an in-game injury, is the expectation really for Bonner to play center?

[wildbill2u]

i gotta disagree on Parker in the 4th. He missed about 5 or 6 shots (mostly jumpers) in a row about midway thru, but he kept chunkin' instead of helping Manu who was hot.

Spurs started losing ground and Pop had to take hiim out. He came back for the last 2 minutes or so and didn't hurt us.

[Obstructed_View]

Someone needs to send Parker a little Mexican milf in an Eva costume.
