Holy . What a quarter

I was about to post the exact same thing.

[capek]

wow nice way to end the quarter, to say the least. nice to see Nando play through some early mistakes

[Mal]

Guess firing AJ didnt make them contender

DAT DEFENSE

I think the Spurs MVP is Deron Williams tbh

[Darkwaters]

Blair back in. Nets FG% will instantly go up 20-30%.

So, in otherwards, they shoot 21-31% this quarter.

[mystargtr34]

Spurs allowed 5 points in the 3rd.. Is that a franchise record?

[Boomersgold]

Nice to see Blair diving for the ball.

[capek]

Holy De colo at the buzzer, 30-5 quater lol.

So maybe it's not all in my head. Going with a Duncan/Splitter/Leonard/X/X lineup has kind of transformed our defense, from average at best to pretty damn good! Granted, the compe ion hasn't been so great the last few games, but still, its a promising sign!

[Budkin]

Wow talk about an ass ing!

[Manu-20]

Spurs allowed 5 points in the 3rd.. Is that a franchise record?

I think in 2007 the spurs held the hawks to 5 points in a quater.

[freetiago]

i miss james anderson
he was out most exciting garbage player
always had some fancy layups and tried to posterize someone

[Darkwaters]

Holy , Spurs on an 85-52 point run!!!

[Reck]

You can hear the collective "ughs" when Blair even touches the ball.

Fat ass must go.

No, the Spurs gave up only 3 points early in the 2002-03 season in the first quarter in a home game against Denver. Then again, that Denver team was the worst offensive team in NBA history statistically, even not counting that game. The funny thing about that game was that Kenny Satterfield made the first shot of the game on the first possession and all they got the rest of the quarter was a free throw and missed everything else

[loveforthegame]

He's working through his mistakes but I really like NDCs game.

[capek]

Nando and Mills in the game at the same time, and Patty gives it off to De Colo to run the play. Not surprised, they know where they rank tbh

[Reck]

Nope but it is a franchise record low for the Nets.

[spursmartyr]

I hope the Spurs don't give up 100 points tonight

[Boomersgold]

Exactly. Mills knows that Nando is the better playmaker and Nando knows that Mills is the better shooter.

Nets are weak, they couldn't hang in the west. Eastern conference got it so dam easy!

poor blair...he has been professional about it though (outside of like 1 emo tweet)

I don't think it has as much to do with standing as it does position played. DeColo is a pg; Mills is a sg
