I know you're a betting man and you do pretty well, but don't bet on this one.

Not sure why you are more interested in arguing than contributing something of substance and random throw away lines?? It's the same value as the Parker bashing threads.

Who's arguing?

You're trying to pick a fight because I only listed the two main things I though would help the most. You aren't satisfied with my plan for game two. Well again -- good for you. I'm not here to please you, so quit being a about it.

Also mentioned transition D needing to get better.

I'm just hoping one of Griffin, Paul, or Crawford come back down to earth.

Nathan89 for head coach tbh.

Spurs won't shoot that bad again but Jordan was a big reason why they shot bad tonight

Kawhi is a bench player on your small ball lineup?

**Mugen** · 04-20-2015

I would let Messina coach...

**RD2191** · 04-20-2015

Spurs won't win this series if crawford continues to on them like he has all season. Dude eats Manu for lunch and then s him out and flushes him.

Agreed. It's just odd for someone who's such a hero on the board in defending the honor TP to take such short cuts in an actual legit basketball thread.

, there are many times when I might even agree it comes down to "making shots" with very little changes/game planning needed elsewhere. I just don't truly believe that is the case in the playoffs/this series. There is an element of that in order to be in strking distance, but there was more to the game than that from what I personally saw.

Tony said his ankle will be sore tomorrow, but he should be fine by Wednesday

I'm just here to talk basketball. That literally makes no sense.

So we disagree.

Great.

We don't have to agree.

What part of that do you not understand?

Everything will be OK.

Kawhi is the best iso player on the Spurs when Tony and Manu aren't on, but he doesn't have that navigational mental lock with the other guys that Patty, Boris, Marco and Manu have (I should have mentioned Manu). Kawhi looks like he has to think about what he's supposed to do when he gets the ball. He'll take a couple dribbles in and then step back out and pass it to someone else. They all do that at times, but the big 3 don't seem to have him on their radar when the ball is moving around. He'll get some looks, but they don't look scripted.

**Arcadian** · 04-20-2015

Quick, crisp passing. None of this slow, high-arcing that everybody was throwing around all night.

You seem to be getting angry. It's really odd. I will type something negative about TP so you can get back into your comfort zone. I'm just here to talk basketball.

I might need to make some "adjustments" to that.

So why are you not talking basketball? It's really odd that someone who is just here to talk basketball is not talking basketball.

It's not like we were missing wide open jumpers. We missed some, but a lot of those misses were forced up last second heaves that had little to no chance of going in, including a few air balls as I recall, and some "no iron" shots by Tim and the Banger. That's because we didn't move the ball well, we were slow on offense, and guys were deferring too much. Ball moving is great when it's for a better look, but not as a hot potato move.
