Darn, man. No need to bring this one down after a great first half.I still think they can choke this away
Same. Atlanta already came back from down 27 earlier this year.

ATL sucks, but games like this makes me really wish LMA never returned lol
What an impressive first 2 qtrs. When was the last time the Spurs shot over 60% in a half..? Crazy.
I think everybody played great. Two early fouls for Lonnie, but he went to the rim for that layup. Great stuff
77 points at half.
I think we're seeing a difference between middle-of-the-pack Eastern Conference teams and their Western counterparts.
He would slow the team down with his fatass for sure
You're inserting two guys who play defense, one of them is an all-around player and the other is the best defensive center by stats and taking out Lonnie and LMA from the starting lineup who weren't giving you .
We've set the bar really low for Lonnie lmao

What a half. Great team play. Need a couple of days off between games more often.
I said last game that it's a huge difference having Derrick playing and starting against the Warriors. Even if he wasn't scoring, I'd much rather have his defense and playmaking compared to Lonnie Walker out there (I know Walker didn't start last game, but Derrick helps the team so much more in other ways if his shot isn't on).
Vassell... 4 minutes + 14
I'm afraid LMA doesn't fit in this team anymore.
yep. gotta wonder if the reason he's been out with his mysterious hip issue for so long is because the Spurs are trying to figure out what to do with him
Hopefully they keep their foot on the Hawks neck!
Don't be afraid...
They've credited Murray for 1 steal only, that's harsh.
Beginning of the 3rd will be interesting because Triple D (Dejounte, Derrick, Devin) had him shook in the first half...he needs to come out gunning no matter what
The defense from a Murray/White/Keldon/Jak lineup is beautiful tbh. Good enough to cover for Derozan too.
Nice reminder of old school Spurs bball.
Posted this in another thread, but games like this make me realize what trash the east is. 50-82 against the west before tonight (31 win pace).
Spurs have only played 3 games against the east and are the only team in the league with more games left against the other conference (27) than its own (20). Next lowest team is Denver at 6, and Houston at 7.
Watch the standings start to normalize when teams like Utah, Portland and Memphis play more games against the west. All of those teams have played very east-heavy schedules so far (48%+), while Spurs have played only 12% against the east.
I mean, he was practically the only reason for wins last year before the bubble and now Murray, DDR, Johnson are all playing much better even without the addition of White. If he's back to normal it's a big plus.
Keldon 3!
POETL WOW
JC cant do when Keldon is guarding him
