cmon Paul George, show your quality

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Pacers defense is awful! Ugh

[ace3g]

Jon Barry just said the Spurs don't have a small ball line up that can match Warriors, lol

[Ron Swanson]

Kobe with 5 points and a +/- of -15

I don't think Jon Barry actually watches basketball.

[GSH]

Yep, he's an asset since there is someone willing to trade a 1st rd pick for him.*cough* Bucks *cough* *cough* Kings *cough*

Even the Nets would give up a vet for a guy like Kyle (Thad Young would be nice NEXT season)

Counting moral losses as losses... Spurs now fall to 31–13. So, one game behind the Thunder and 2 behind the Cavs. Still in the race, but not good.

Some of the comments here just crack me up. First round pick for Anderson, and the new Hollinger Moral Loss stat.

[BatManu20]

[SAGirl]

Agreed. People think of him as D'Bust only because of the expectations that come with being drafted so high and in his particular case, ahead of Porzingis. I will swap the Lakers Anderson for him in a heartbeat.

And its really a shame that they are not even developing Russ well at all.. since the season is about Kobe. They don't have a real idea what they want to do offensively with him, and who knows what they are teaching defensively. I would take a look at him next year if they have a new coach and then really see.

Clarkson was alright making contested shots and all as well. It is tough to say between the 2 as they are different, but Russ is so young, its too soon to say.

Randle though looks terrible. Yea, he's got the quickness and athleticism, but no skill. Don't like him.

Wanted a 30 point embarrassment, but Pop always seems to take it easy on the Lakers. Not to mention, the Lakers always play like it's a game 7 in garbage time.

[BatManu20]

[Pauleta14]

Manu only +3 with the game he had!

What a ty stat tbh...

[steeledl]

He's still developing. He's taken some 3s that were bad shots to finish quarters and stuff like that. I don't expect him to make those. But yea, he needs to keep getting pushed to be aggressive.

He he has been playing better but in the playoffs you aren't gonna get a lot of good looks and you have to take them and take them with confidence when you do. That play was pretty disappointing for me because he has showed a bit of promise lately.

Randle is a small bull in a large china shop.

[Kawhitstorm]

doubt we get a second round pick for that scrub. I swear if plays him against GS.... Rest in Piss

Nik Stauskas got traded for a 1st rd pick

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Tbh why not just go with "Nick van Mills" or "Patty van Exel?"

Unfortunately, Mills is not a Jacque Vaughn, Speedy Claxton or TJ Ford. The player from the past he reminds me most of is NVE, sadly. Couldn't stop screaming at the TV every time he dribbled into a godawful trey when we'd have numbers. He shot horribly for us that one season and ended up getting benched for Barry and Udrih.

[SAGirl]

Shades of the old Danny! Could it be? At last?

We need him. We are not winning against GSW if Danny is not playing like this. I am ok with Anderson having a ty game, bc Danny and Manu lightened up my mood. Young guys will struggle at times.

[raybies]

Heard that. Does he even watch us smh

[Kawhitstorm]

Pacers playing D like the Spurs 3rd stringers

[UNT Eagles 2016]

Damn.... those McDonald's cheese sticks look tantalizing.

[BatManu20]

[SpurPadre]

81 points in a game is less impressive when you find out Bonner played heavy minutes as the opposition.

[ace3g]

Curry looking at his hand, after layup...
