Quick Grades: Spurs vs. Knicks - Nov. 15, 2012

[spurspokesman]

Tim Duncan B+
Impressive through three quarters on both ends. Silent in the final period.

Manu Ginobili C
Timing is a mess. Outside shot is broken. Good moments here and there but consistency needed.

Tony Parker B-
Quiet in the first quarter. Really good in the middle two quarters. Keyed the collapse down the stretch.

Kawhi Leonard A-
Looked like a stud offensively early on. Brought really good defense in the second half.

Danny Green C+
Wasn’t attentive enough defensively. Didn’t do anything special on the other side of the court.

DeJuan Blair B-
Surprisingly good defense on Carmelo Anthony early. Didn’t play in the second half. Injured?

Stephen Jackson B+
Great rebounding and grit in the paint. More precision on offense would have helped.

Patrick Mills C-
Defense was subpar. Didn’t run the offense very well. Was basically a spot-up shooter.

Tiago Splitter B
His first couple stints were horrid. In the fourth, he rediscovered his rhythm and dominated a stretch.

Boris Diaw D-
I’m not sure it would have been possible for Diaw to give less effort.

Pop D
Didn’t manage minutes well. Rotations didn’t make much sense.

Parker grade is generous. He flat out got raped by felton and single handedly gave the knicks the game with his gunning and reckless play down the stretch. Diaw is a fat F ditto Ginobilli

Bobcat Boris Diaw is on full display.

This. Terrible play

[spurspokesman]

was anyone pissed at our bigs for not attempting to block alot of those weak ass layups/floaters when there pgs got into the lane puttin up a shot right in front of them, even the defender was late to contend, at leasts put a fkn hand up....

Anyone who saw should have been pissed

[ManuTastic]

All this. Plus Splitter was weak as fking tissue paper. Dunk that sh-t homes!
Weak D all around, esp on the perimeter. Just like the playoffs last year. And Bruce Bowen is not walking through that door...

Maybe I won't go back and watch this game on my DVR.

I thought Stephen Jackson's defense, along with his willingness to give max effort in playing stout defense in the paint, were huge factors in limiting Carmelo's offensive output.

Overall the team did appear as though it faded in the 4th.

We gave that one away no doubt. I got so tired of fat felton and his luck chucks that never miss. He has one of the ugliest games in history.
