Yeah that offense was just in game 1
The way the offense is supposed to work is how it worked in game 1, ISOs, mixed with ball movement.
That requires of course Kawhi Leonard to show up, however, he decided to take a sick day.
The problem over the past 2 months is that the offense doesn't reach that Game 1 peak consistently enough. It generates looks, but when shooters can't knock down those looks at a decent clip, things go haywire. And we can't mitigate cold shooting with penetration, since the Spurs no longer have an elite penetrator due to Parker's decline and Kawhi's unconfidence in his dribble-drive game.
I think if we get to the Cavs we'll beat them. No way Love can guard LMA, but Kawhi and Danny will be good against LeBron and Irving.
Yes - he was worth it. Fat talk was premature me thinks.
Bitter-Sweet but still cool. A lot more post work than Game 1.
They can put Thompson on LMa though.. and if Timmy continues his current trend, they will be able to hide Love behind Timmy. That worries me, but then again is a long way to get to the Cavs yet.
About LMa, if the still had Twitter we could all go and thank him. He has scored like an old time superstar big man.
You can bet Shaq loves it
the Meyers Leonard injury was really unfortunate for them. i used to wish the spurs had a nose for talent like Aminu, Harkless, Crabbe, and Plumlee.
see in your sig video where Towns misses the block. that's the difference between Sam Mitc and a real coach. you're lucky the Twolves didn't hire Sam Cassell and Robert Horry.Quit posting, and get some help
The Blazers overachieved this year and made some huge strides no doubt about it but they really shouldn't be in the second round when in reality they are really still a first round team at heart. Them advancing reminds me of the Sixers taking out the bulls in '12 due to Rose' injury. The Spurs definitely could use a big like Plumleee. This is off season they are going to have to find a way to get a young solid big that can be a defensive anchor.

There was no "black hole," dip . LMA played 43 minutes and took only 26 shots counting freethrow attempts. His 41 points came as a result of out-of-this-world efficiency, not ball dominant volume shooting.
But yeah, let's give more attempts to a 40 year old Duncan who was 1-8 and couldn't solve Adams

this. right track, wrong train.
Take my pick of what?
CAN'T WAIT TO ING JACK OFF AT THE RESULTS!He's an incredibly terrible poster. LMA has made him look stupid, but he's too bull-headed to admit how massively wrong he was.
A "blackhole" taking 21 raw shot attempts in 43 minutes
If anything, LMA didn't get enough shot attempts.
give more attempts to a 40 year old Duncan, or give more attempts to Duncan. "there was no "black hole," dip ." either way.
Definitely too. Just a pleasure to watch.
I'd add vision, too. The reality is, he doesn't make his teammates better offensively. Aldridge doesn't either, but it's exacerbated by him being a perimeter player and this team no longer having someone who consistently can.
Vision and the mindset to make others better, is something that can be incrementally improved through coaching, experience, film, etc., but for the most part, it's innate.
Going forward, if they think they can get by with him incrementally improving, another year older Parker and some combination of Anderson/Simmons, they're not getting past the 2nd round.

the blazers might have beat the clippers without the Paul and Griffin injuries. Just the same as they might have beat the spurs, if they'd dropped a few games for the 1st round matchup. dropping lame was genius!
If Tim makes his layups then OKC won't be able to ICE the PnRs thus they will be forced to choose their poison. There is really no excuse for CONSISTENTLY missing point blank layups when you are a professional basketball player, for god sakes use the freaking glass ala Tiago instead of try to lay it in or shoot floaters on your tippy toes.
I feel like he's still driving into the lane as if he has ONE good knee thus he needs to re-calibrate his shot for TWO shot knees.
You're looking too far ahead but Diaw would get the majority of the playing time against Love especially since Love is usually camping at the 3 point line thus offensive rebounding wouldn't be such a big issue. Tim would be probably start on Tristan & LMA on Love.
Somebody is going to have to nut up these two games in OKC, because the only way is down for LMA..he can't possibly keep this up..
for the 2nd straight year the idiots on this forum question Harlem for bashing on one of their beloved players..
Last year, it was seeing Parker's decline in November, while 90% of the forum wanted APO and I banned for speaking the truth..it took them until the playoffs to realize they were wrong..
This year, we have one of the longest threads in the history of this forum, full of homers that had the audacity to continuously bump this thread because this showed up for a bunch of regular season teams and 2 home playoff games
He's Lamarcus Loser, Carmelo Aldridge..a mid range chucker that shrivels up at the first sign of pressure..the Spurs committed their future to this ing pussy
It's why Harlem is one of the best posters.
