Game Thread: Spurs vs Hornets: 7:30 PM CT - 3:30 AM Sunday, in Riga

2nd half, hoping they go more to LMA. Run the offense thru him a little

[Robz4000]

Literally all the Spurs are doing right now is chucking threes. They're afraid to go inside with no elite penetrator.

[Vokun]

Spurs wanna be like the Rockets today I guess

[NASpurs]

~20 three attempts in the first half? That has to be the most this season for the team.

[bklynspursfan]

That's such a bs call man

[Robz4000]

of course they get a four point play

Patty bad foul

[james evans]

that wasn't a foul!!!!

[bklynspursfan]

Kawhi dribbled way too much there. He had Patty and Bertans in the corner. His overall court vision has to be implemented in his next firmware upgrade

[spurtech09]

This only happens to the Spurs of course....

[spurtech09]

I guess the NBA does not want the Spurs to catch up to the Warriors.....

[Robz4000]

We'll see what happens in the locker room, but right now Charlotte looks like the more confident team and want it more. Tonight also emphasizes the need for another penetrator; when Parker isn't feeling it the offense is too guardable.

[DarrinS]

Better defense will show up in second half.

[NASpurs]

The Spurs average 22 three pointer attempts a game and they have 20 in the first half. It's what Charlotte is giving them I guess.

[Kawhitstorm]

Should be able to pull away if LMA gets it going in the 2nd half. Hornets can't play any better, MKG/Hibbert already have hit their season average & Lamb/Zeller aren't that far off meanwhile LMA/Pau/Evita/Enrique have combined for 8 points.

[SpurPadre]

Can't see the game so I'm looking at the gamecast and all I see is Spurs missing shots on several consecutive possessions. Are the Hornets packing the paint or is it another game where Pau and LMA aren't playing big?

[Harry Callahan]

Three FT attempts in the first half? That is not cutting it.

[rasuo214]

Spurs back to Patty and Kawhi carrying the offense. Hopefully Tony and LMA pick things up in the 2nd.

If you need a (admittedly low quality) link PM me.

Hornets are packing the paint but the Spurs have missed several easy looks at the rim.

[ducks]

In nov Charlotte played spurs though think 32 lead changes

[spursistan]

Marvin Williams has shutdown softridge..

[ducks]

Spurs have 3 foul shots

They double on post-ups which means they leave 3 point shooters open.
