Value Initiative: Pre-Game Write-Up / Prediction - SA v ORL 11.29.16

[Robz4000]

If the Spurs lose something has gone terribly wrong . It would take big time fluke (like scorching hot 3PT shooting from ORL or cold shooting/TO's from SA).

Other than something really fluky shooting wise, I don't see how ORL can win this one. They have athletes like you said, but they play at a snails pace overall so it's not like they have been giving anyone trouble with that.

Unless you turn it over 17+ times or something. If you back on defense reasonably ORL struggles to score.

The entire season thus far has been flukey at home for the Spurs, and it doesn't all have to do with terrible lineups or players being out.

Four players converged on Fourier there. It's just what you do when guys drive.

Spurs look awful

For sure - haven't seen you post too much about SA, how you feeling about the start to the season?

i haven't really been locked in this year due to the cowboys being compe ive and my schedule, but so far i'm really impressed with the "young" guys, simmons and bertans. i wanted to see kawhi step into the leader role this year and so far the few games i've watched, i've seen him be a lot more vocal on the floor.

I got you. It's interesting you say that about Kawhi. Honestly, I really get the sense the team has no heart. Not in the sense that guys don't compete/play hard I mean that emotional leader that everyone gravitates too. I think Kawhi is a little more vocal but no one on this team seems to be a natural leader.

I wonder if that will ever happen.

Analysis.

tl;dr this team is ed

Stay healthy spurs

To try to find something positive...At least they still have this.

[ElNono]

All-in-all I predict San Antonio wins this game by 10+ and it will be a relatively low-scoring affair compared to each teams season average.

You probably forgot we were playing at home

It was a good read nonetheless, tbh

Ya - classic DPG.

Heh. I was just about to call you out for putting the goocher on this game.

The best analysis in the world won't see a game like this coming.

I'm going to blame it on a dummy game thread by the worst poster on ST
