Lefty with a solid take per par.Porker's turnover
ehh... not really worried. Didn't think we would take both in OKC, and was surprised it was that close all the way to the end... they did want it more than we did, and they got the W...
We just gotta play better, and some home cooking, I'm hoping, will do us good.
Aldridge will show up at home, tbh..seems like the type of that needs to sleep in his own bed and have his own blanket, etc..
Aldridge about to put up 82 pts in the first half alone, book it!
Watch the game next time got.
First time I've ever seen this side of you TD; not cool.
Cat crew having a field day with it but Leonard wasn't right after the knee bang. That could be a real concern moving forward.
I did, sucker
Dude cant contribute if hes not getting touches.Aldridge was mediocre on the road, tbh..
They offense wanst really the problem though. It was the defense.
Plus Durant made every contested shot. Didnt like the switch with west on durant too.
He pulled this reverse jinx crap in the 2014 Finals too.
I noticed his aggressiveness dropped after that collision with Kanter. I'm concerned but if he can play the next game I'm going to assume he's ok. Pop wouldn't risk it if it was a serious injury.
We got enough offense. You can't let Dion Waiters go off for 17 on 7-11. And since Duncan is essentially crippled, I fear we have no answer for Adams. Waiters and Adams playing like all-stars was all the difference. Sure, Kawhi and LMA could've popped off for more, but they got support from Tony, Boris, and Manu.
Leonard clearly got a little gassed late.
16 points in the 4th isn't getting enough offense. started the quarter up 4 and lost by 14
He was great in the first half and the 3rd quarter, huge plays on both ends. His last steal in the 3rd was just amazing.
But after Kanter hit Kawhi's knee when he was falling, he cleary didn't look like himself.
It ing worked, didn't it?He pulled this reverse jinx crap in the 2014 Finals too.
They both look a little tired, tbh. Aldridge had been playing very heavy minutes, and Kawhi really went all out in Game 3. I sometimes wonder if Pop's resting players so much in the regular season makes it harder for them to stomach the increased minutes in the playoffs in close games. Obviously, the Spurs overall record in the playoffs disputes my assertion to some large degree. But I still wonder...
Today's NBA
True, but even if we scored 102-105, which you would think would've been enough offense, it still wouldn't have been enough. Spurs are typically in good shape when they score in the high 90's.
Yeah, offense could've been better, but defense was the big issue tonight.
LMA doesn't do well shooting off the dribble. He's a spot up shooter and he needs to remain one. When he's moving he misses more often than not. He's not a great adjustment shooter. I didn't see them running him off his spot. I saw piss poor spacing and guys just standing around watching the ball handler.
Rebounding and 50/50 balls were the big issues. We didn't seem to think it was that important of a game, at least most of us.
a lot of bad offense and missed shots lead directly to transition where OKC thrives
Playing hard on both ends of the floor will do that to a player. Furthermore, he had to battle hard on the glass to make up for the size deficit in Pop's lineups.
Kawhi started out like 6-6 and then went 1-12. Not good. That duo of Thunder Mongoloids is trying to injure our players with their flopping bull and cheap shots. I hope KD gets f'd up the next game with those chicken legs.
