Win game 5 and iŽll feel better.
Best 2 out of 3. No way spurs come out lethargic on our home floor. Green or belinelli go off in game 5!
Beli needs to be benched.
Tony needs to stop being worthless.
Heavy minutes for Tiago.
Tim needs to step up his gme against Blair...because Rick is going to to give Tim some heavy doses of Dejuan after tonight.
Manu has to continue being an aggressive playmaker.
Kawhi needs to defend Monta.
This series has been so close. It's probably going 7 games.
Not really. Tony is a zombie. Danny sucked. We could def still lose lol
I think whoever wins Game 5 wins the series...
BUT
Even if the Spurs win this series, if they keep playing this way, they'll get swept in the 2nd round.
It's just glass half full v half empty. You could argue Spurs might be up 3-1 with Pop being awful, TP being bad, Beli sucking and the entire bench + DG sucking outside of this game. You could also argue that Spurs could be swept and Pop keeps making the same mistakes and that RC has a great game plan that Spurs won't adjust to and that something is seriously wrong with TP.
I go with what I see consistently. Spurs have surprisingly not consistently upped their effort, not played crisp and made many of the same mistakes. TP is regressing each game & Tim looks more rigid despite no back to backs..
The doubt is all on the Spurs side. Mavs have players stepping up, while the Spurs still have no-shows.
Mavs have proven they can win a close game against us & come back from 20 points down.
If Pop is going to be stubborn and stick with not only giving Beli minutes and putting Kawhi on Monta, he needs to have Danny on Calderon. I know that means either TP guards Marion or you switch Kawhi onto Marion and have TP guard Monta, but I think it's worth it. We will see.
Not sure but this is personal now.
I do... it might extend the inevitable, but heading home, some players might feel more confident, and the home cooking is always there... if we can play for 48 mins and win Game 5, we put all the pressure on them
Yes, I feel better about being tied 2-2 compared to being down 2-1 or 3-1.
they showed up in the 1st half, layed an egg in the 2nd half
tp is somehow getting progressively worse as the series goes on, nope, still anybody's series, im shocked the spurs came away with the win in game 4, and the spurs arent going anywhere this year with THIS tp
We almost choked away a 20 point lead. We are still hanging by a thread.
This series is a little bit about the Spurs (bench) underachieving and a lot about Dallas's scrubs playing out of their minds, especially Carter, Blair, and Calderon.
There were flashes of the real Spurs in this game. You have to feel good about 2-2. The home crowd will be behind them on Wednesday.
And Blair!
Danny doesn't fit in this series for whatever reason. I'd like to see Danny get minutes, but it's not happening. Kawhi has to hound Ellis on both ends of the floor. He has to go straight to the post every time.
I cringe when I see Beli take his warmups off. Either Green needs those minutes or Manu needs heavy minutes.
Feel better about the result, but not about going forward. Spurs are CLEARLY the better team. CLEARLY. This pain is 75% self inflicted, but they keep doing the same things and it's really inexplicable. That's why I don't really feel better overall. But it's clear the Spurs still have so much head room.
Again, they lost 3 of 4 quarters tonight.
We survived. That's about it.
If Pop stops playing Belinelli like he's Michael Finley and if someone actually starts forcing Calderon to put the ball on the floor, then yes.
If neither happen, Mavs in 6.
Bench players are stepping up and the offense is coming back around. I'm hanging my hat on that, tbh.
Would be nice if Marco ing Belinelli would quit sexting on the bench and get his ing head back in the game. I'm hoping that Dallas is really just that bad of a matchup for him, because he is playing completely out of his pace right now. Pop had to pull him early in both of his stints, as he was involved in both of Dallas' big surges tonight.
Manu can't play any more minutes, tbh... we really could use some D out there when nobody else can create
Yup. Manu will provide diminishing returns. Especially since TP hasn't been able to keep anything going. Pop has to choose between Beli/Danny and it's damn obvious based on the first 4 games (despite both not playing that well). Thank God for Manu. Without him/Tiago Spurs would have been swept. How crazy is that.
Calderon is my biggest worry. Pop has no answer for him. And TP might as well be invisible on D. Put Manu on Calderon and TP on Marion. If Patty gets heavy minutes, then you end up with Calderon/Mills because Patty can't guard Marion...even less than Tony.
that.....the Spurs are the better team and we all know that. The Mavs needed game 4 to win. They will now fold.
