What"s the adjustment we need to make when facing the Clippers in the next meeting?

Pressure the ball at the beginning of possessions for a start.

Spurs just need to man up. That's going to be the answer to every match-up question. When you have two of the five best perimeter defenders and three All-Stars in your front court, you have a chance against anybody. But LMA is going to have to be a factor on offense, and Gasol is going to have to try on defense.

It's like Toph said in that one episode of The Last Airbender: For some things, there isn't a strategy or angle to get past it. You just have to actually hit it head on and shove it out of the way. If the Spurs want to be a great team, they have to play like a great team. If they play like a great team, they're going to get past them. No need to overthink it.

Nice pep talk. Toph reference and all. The geek in me is happy

Please find a way to take it to the locker room, specially for Aldridge.
He might actually drop whatever whataburger item he's having and play how he's capable of.

Bring lube.

What?

Oh, , I said Cousins? LOL... was that the Crown Royal night? Maybe I was channeling Dice Clay - "DeAndre, DeMarcus... what's the ing difference?"

Seriously, with them having both Griffin and Jordan, and the Spurs not having Timmy in the middle anymore? It would be really difficult to get past them in a 7-game series. On any given night, some guys might "man up", or shoot lights-out, and the Spurs could win. But over 7 games? Really, really difficult.

There's always the possibility of one of those guys getting injured. I was laughing about sneaking Bowen in for an ankle-breaker, because that might be the Spurs' best "adjustment". We used to have guys who could go at bigs like that and suck out some fouls. But not so much these days.

Tell Manu to start texting Tiago and see if he wants to come back next year.

Splitter will be 32 but has been perennially injured since he left and practically rested the last year so he'll be ready to go.

i floated this idea recently:


having wall would mean cp3 would have to work on defense. cp3 can probably hop on one foot and still be capable of guarding parker at this point.

also, you can think of gortat as splitter 2.0.

only caveats are that i haven't seen gortat play lately... and maybe you can get more for la?

with that trade you get upgrades the team could use: at pg and defense.
