Pop cleans up his mistakes.
Those games are sprinkled in among a bunch of games vs Knicks, 76ers. Have they played any stretches like we had in December? Didn't think so.
TD missed an open Kawhi...
Pop was talking to Messina and Udoka "Kawhi was wide open" and Messina with the yes...
You are dead on 100% here, something is way off.
Im a patty fan, and patty dropped that cold.
As for today. Highest points, rebounds, assists. He played bad, but he still played better than most people
What was their record last year against playoff teams?
Yes, bad pass by Duncan, but why did they even go to Manu? Manu shouldn't have even been in the game. He hurt his leg on the prior play. Get the inbounds, take a shot, miss...live with that. Take two time outs, keep a player that is clearly injured in the game and then turn it over with no attempt...smh
Seems like Pop is going to sink with the Big 3....
Yep, which is why the idea that he treats every player equally is a myth.
I've said this a million times, I don't know why spursfan gets offended when I do.
Green is getting treated like garbage and Leonard is still a freestyler in the offensive end....
He knows we're not winning anything if at least 2 of the 3 are not playing at a high level... so, yeah, he's gonna give them as many opportunities as needed to find their groove...
I disagree with this, 1 out of 3 maybe..The spurs have had numerous playoff success in the last two years with only one playing at a high level.
I just don't think the big 3 exists anymore, simply because Tigao, Green and Leonard on many occasions in the playoffs have been far better players....
We need 2. Think about game 6 against the thunder. If only one is playing great that game we don't win. Manu hit a big shot. Duncan sealed the deal.
Why would I think about game 6?
I'm talking in general here..
In general, the spurs in the last two years only needed one to play at high level..The other can play average and other will suck..
and even with that the spurs won a ring and b2b finals.
It's not happening, sorry. I'd like to tell you otherwise, but all those guys have severe limitations of their own, and they look up to the seasoned players when the stakes are high, as they should. Leadership and understanding of the game isn't some made up thing, it's very real, IMO. They'll eventually get there, but right now we need at least 2 out of the 3 playing at a high level.
Also, don't conflate regular season with playoffs. In the regular season, with little to no pressure, sure, you can make do with anybody. But when the playoffs come around, we're going to need all our horses.
Against certain teams, we can get away with manu and parker playing like crap and pull out the win. Then there's teams where we need at least two of them to chip in. I don't think we get far in the post season with only one of the big 3 playing well each series.
as great as tim is, the one constant has been that when something gets into his head, it messes with him. and that's rare but free throws and now the inbound pass, it appears, will occasionally creep into his mind and cause a brain fart.
That wasn't the case last year in the playoffs. They need 2 of them, imo. Right now all 3 are playing at a subpar level, and that's too much dead weight to overcome. Tony and Timmy in particular are killing our starting lineup.
Honestly I think is just general fatigue from a veteran team. They have played a load of basketball the last three years with back to back trips to the NBA finals. It all takes it's toll.
