Game Thread 4/2: Jazz at Spurs 2:30 CST (3:30 EST, 10:30 Riga Time)

[Ron Swanson]

Ball movement has been very good.

[DPG21920]

Simmons 3PT shot has found new life lately (when he's played). That would be a big development heading into the playoffs.

[PopTheGOAT]

Wake me up Game 1 vs Memphis tbh

[RD2191]

Taller than you and you seem intent on blowing me and nipping at my ankles little man.

Lol. You're like 5'4 with heels aren't you?

One of the things you learn at a young age is to not leave your feet unless you know what you want to do with the ball.

Anderson gets himself into danger leaving his feet all the time. Sometimes he gets lucky, but something he's gotta work on.

And with his long arms and vision he doesn't really have to. He can pass from great angles due to his length both above his head and side-to-side. I like how he's playing lately though.

Glad Dedmon is OK...Don't need another injury..Despite him being non-factor on one end, he is still an intimidating force on defense..You need him to bruise with the likes of Gobert/Marc Gasol ..

Yup. it'd be a real difference maker for our guys. Hopefully he keeps it going

[Ron Swanson]

Simmons!

[RD2191]

Nice simms!

[DPG21920]

TP is just making perfect decisions and getting into the paint.

[r0drig0lac]

great defense

[Ron Swanson]

Take the shot, Kyle.

[spursistan]

5 assists for Kawhi already



Yeah, I don't mind it. It was just unexpected.

#ANTIQUATED

[DPG21920]

Nice to see Dedmon get back in. I'm going to be pissed if SA gets some stupid bad luck injury. Simmons playing aggressive and hitting the 3 is a valuable player.

Yea for sure. It puts him in a tough spot and whoever he's passing to cause it ends up being an awkward type of pass to catch.

He's been playing pretty well lately. Still hesitant to shoot , but I guess it's to be expected, at least to close out this season

Wow Dedmon! Exum is trying to really jump TP on screens and TP is getting by him.

[spursistan]

Dedmon <3

[DPG21920]

Kawhi is really taking it easy on defense . I'm fine with it, but it's obvious

He knows TP is there to play help defense. Let microwave grills in there and Kiwi turns into Tony allen

[marinoman]

We need this Parker in the playoffs, it looks like he has a pep in his step. And more Simmons less green

[spurs10]

Spurs starting unit with Kyle/TP/Kawhi/Bertans/Dedmon did very well and built a nice lead. TP did the most damage getting into the paint and hitting some nice PnR jumpers.

Spurs aren't going all out on defense but did mostly ok other than Hayward breaking the defense down some. Dedmon playing with great energy and Bertans is really opening things up on offense with his spacing and he's knocked down a couple 3's.

No Mills or Lee unexpectedly but overall 2nd mash up unit holding firm.

Good summary....Bertans has looked good and has hit a couple of good looking shots under pressure.
