Game 41: Spurs vs. Bucks, 7:00 PM ET, January 19

[TheGoldStandard]

Thomas shot looks god, huge arc but...doesst go in.
He really wants to play well.

He had a ton of energy which was good to see, more nervous than scared but he rebounded well and took initiative going up for the ball and didn't hesitate on the shot.

Pop shut down any talk about a specific position or role for Thomas: "You're getting way ahead of yourself."

"We pay him to scout the games for us"

We've struggled in the past against "elite teams" it actually has little bearing in the playoffs. As long as we play well and compete Pop isn't going to be too worried about the result.

The only teams that could actually beat us are probably OKC,& GSW. Its odd really, Spurs beat a team that isn't at full strength and ST says it doesn't count. If they beat us and we aren't at full strength and ST says our record is fools gold.

Beginning of the year yes they have so called struggled against the Elite teams, later in the year though they seem to start fairing alot better sides last year where it was the opposite.

I look for them to turn it on around the All Star break and start beating some of those teams, if not they might be in some trouble.
I won't lie the stumble last year made me think they had no shot in the playoffs and I was worried, then they go further than they have in years. I do not think GSW could beat us unless they go games 1 and 2 last year for the majority of the series, then you might be in some trouble.

Spurs were not at full strength against Portland so I will let that game slide right now and forget it, when the team is in full though next month and they start facing these teams then it might be time to worry some.

GSW may be more trouble in the playoffs because of Iggy, they have a legit 3rd option and we don't have anyone to really cut him off without leaving someone else open. It'll take a ton of discipline defensively.

True, but correct me if i'm wrong, but Iggy is not the type of guy to go off against the Spurs. I'm more worried about the scrubs who usually do. Like Draymond Green for instance, or the "other" Crawford.
