Game Thread: Spurs vs Raptors -- Sat. (4/2) - 7:30PM CST (3:30AM Riga Time)

For our entire backcourt yes. Rookie Powell and COjo killed you? Yes moral loss....

The Spurs players probably had no idea who Powell was except Fat Head, he's a slasher & they were letting him get to the rim.

Thought you were pro dubs last night or did you forget to use your alt tbh

I wanted them to win so they'd go easier on us, but it's whatevs.

Pop refused to play him against the Cripples so it would have been a waste anyways (I'll take LMA over CoJo warming the bench)

Oh me too but there once was an issue of whether Mills or Cojo were more valuable to us. Cojo was very underutilized.

[TampaDude]

Wow...we ing won...GSG!!!!!

[sasaint]

what happened to Boris in this one?

Boris and Danny both were MIA. I was surprised BOTH by the fact that Pop played Kawhi and LMA so much AND that we needed them to. Close game or not, I was also surprised that we didn't see Simmons and Martin, and possibly Boban.

I totally know his game. Lol but our backcourt is going to let many others get that confident. I hope I am wrong.

Simmons from what I saw was in street clothes. He's IMO not making the playoff rotation. This seemed like a rehearsal.
Kyle played most of his minutes at SG...bc we needed playmaking and he wasn't going to run Manu down.
Thanks for the tip on Boris I did see Danny and he was off and we struggled to score in his minutes.

Tuned in a little late. You had to jog my recollection that Simmons was in civvies.

[Kawhitstorm]

LaMarcus Aldridge has now produced at least 30 points and 10 rebounds for the 3rd time in his last 4 outings. Aldridge didn't put together a single 30-10 outing in his first 66 games.

[Slime Baller]

Yeah, Storm. Kawhi deservedly is getting attention for his career high and a dominant game, but LMA has been low-key just as amazing lately. It's great to see both firing on all cylinders in time for the playoffs.

I was surprised that he played those to for that many minutes. Toronto is a good team, though, and they beat the out of the Spurs in the paint tonight. Other than Kawhi and LMA, he spread the minutes around pretty well. But I sure hated seeing Kawhi go to the floor like he did. That's the season, if he gets injured.

If Pop doesn't rest some guys in those upcoming second nights of B2B's, I'm going to have to eat some serious crow.
