Spurs by 9
Spurs by 9
Torrey Craig replacing Barton in the starting lineup
Outside of Murray getting hot for one quarter in Game 2, the Spurs have dominated thus far. But, then again, there's a thin line between this Spurs team playing well and it playing at a lottery level. All it would take is something like White going cold or DeRozan going into iso mode or Forbes reverting to his scared ways for this series to flip the other way.
The good news is the Spurs still could theoretically play better. They haven't gotten a strong game from Aldridge or Gay yet. They haven't had positive production from the bench at all, really. The Spurs can shoot much better from three-point land than they did in Game 3, while the Nuggets can't shoot much better from deep than they did in Game 3.
Keys tonight:
1) Poeltl stay out of foul trouble. Unless the Spurs fall behind, the gameplan tonight probably has him in line to play 30+ minutes. If he's in foul trouble, Gay will need to bring his hard had and play Millsap better. Bertans is probably a lost cause in that regard.
2) Gotta figure out a way to hide Mills and Belinelli. Easiest way to do that is to not play them together. But at the very least, Pop can't put Belinelli on Beasley or Harris like he did last game. There aren't adjectives to describe that level of mismatch.
3) White has to just keep playing smart. If the Nuggets adjust to him, don't force the issue. Stay aggressive but there's no need to force it. Thankfully, White has off the charts basketball IQ so this isn't much of a worry. The bigger danger is White reverts to that timid/tired/rookie-wall/unassertive version of himself that we witnessed at the beginning and end of the regular season.
This 100%
I'm tired of these mother ers already and want to end this series ASAP. We already gave them a game, no mercy the rest of the way...
Craig has been pretty impressive, tbh, but this should weaken their bench and lowers the starter's potential explosiveness. Considering how bad the bench for the Spurs is playing, not sure how much this helps the Nuggets unless Malone is trimming his rotation and his players respond well to big minutes.
Yea I'm interested to see how it plays out. Spurs bench needs a strong performance tonight, hopefully it helps
Win it for Manu
murray looks like a stretched out ty 21 savage
At an airport, streaming the game while listening to music.
Any musical suggestions guys?
Does he start?
Conway - London Pound
I always hope Pop gives Lonnie some kinda playing time. If the bench unit isn't moving the needle why not try? Anyway, that's always my hope.
For this game LA and DD need to take advantage of all the attention El Che-fe is going to get.
Nice... filthy. Appreciated.
I was just down with Run The Jewels so this is a nice change of pace.
I brought my son to his first game. This one. Section 109. Wooo
Damn Chris Weber calling the game for TNT. He sux.
