Random thoughts after OT loss in Memphis

[TD 21]

Read again. I was pointing out the improvement from the first half to the second half + overtime.

I know you were, but it's a loser mentality . . . looking for a positive (6 in the 2nd half + overtime) within' a negative (18 overall), instead of just admitting that 18 is too damn many, no matter when the vast majority came.

Per par. Losses, injuries or whatever else is always simply more fodder for the flame of those fantasy trades that you come up with that will never happen.

They probably won't, because the owner is cheap and the front office is delusional . . . and it looks like you are too.

Think about it, Mr. Blair Should Be The Starting PF and Jackson Is Still A Starting SF. They've controlled exactly one game this season against an elite team and that was the Heat game, which was irrelevant, because the big three + Green didn't play and the Heat clearly took them lightly for the first 43 minutes. The two they won (the first against the Thunder and Grizzlies), they didn't control. If at nearly the half way point that's not alarming, I don't know what is.

Poor assumption. I was talking about those three or four difficult shots Rudy Gay hit.

Fair enough. But it wouldn't have even come to that if they could actually defend a pick-and-pop.

Wtf? timvp basically said it was too much. Adjusting at the half shouldn't be something to discredit here

That rotation you suggested is the one Pop currently uses. It ends up with Neal at PG behind Parker because he's the best ballhandler available. Ginobili can't advance the ball under pressure well at all (worse than Neal) ... plus you don't want Ginobili wasting energy doing that anyways.

Well if Manu can't do a point guard duties the spurs should ship two of Neal Mills and Green for some decent pointguard.
Is really shooting of screens and penetration from time to time all we demand from Manu?


btw. I'm a ed up. I was winning 5-1 and now losing 6-7 in scrabble vs my girlfriend
