What could be hidden in all these blaming threads is the play of Manu that deserve the ultimate blame for Spurs' 2nd Quarter ails..

There is noone else that runs the bench better than Manu. If he is not playing to his abilities, that's usually the problem..

The second quarter has been powered by the bench all season. The bench isn't getting it done right now.

Not the world's biggest mystery, tbh.

I agree about the bench not getting it done--but neither are the Big 3 + Green.

When Manu has more turnovers than assists, and Parker keeps getting trapped, dribbling the ball instead of moving it, then you know the OKC defensive pressure is disrupting the offense.

Green is playing like a rookie, running scared, while our rookie, Leonard is playing hard at both ends of the court.

Our Spurs are unable to make the offense function like it has all season because OKC is working harder in all phases of the game and has shown they have more desire to win in the last two games.
