Really bad dog 4th quarter for the spurs
Nothing to worry about IMO
- Leonard looked aggressive but just missed about 7 chippies in the second half..easily fixable
- Parker tried to go hero ball refusing to pass to Leonard everytime he had a match up advantage, but it was generally a bad game from tony. In other nights, 8/10 hero ball Parker works
- Manu looked great tonight
- Duncan still looks terrible but he made a jumper and was a little bit more confident with his offense..
- Patty mills got hossed by Reggie Jackson...He's not going to play the same amount of minutes in the playoffs..
Save for Leonard in the first half and Manu, everyone just played with poor/low intensity..Easily fixable imo.
Really bad dog 4th quarter for the spurs
Lots of hero ball tonight.........
Kawhi: 6-18
Tony: 6-16
Timmy: 5-14
Total: 17-48
Three guys chucked up a lot of shots with almost nothing to show for it.
Out coached again.
Was a bad game. Bound to happen. Had a low % shooting. It doesn't happen often but 11 wins in a row was bound to get tripped.
At least we didn't lose to a team.
Re ed ass take, if we lost to a team then the poor shooting % was a fluke might actually have some merit. Coincidence that the Spurs shoot like against the first elite team they play? I think not.
The Spurs problem (not a bad one) is that they are being run by role players at the moment. Their bench has saved them even against sub par teams. That won't work on the road against good teams. The starters have to step up and play like starters. I know this forum loves to let him off the hook when he's the culprit, but Tim is the team captain, you hate to see him going through it but he is. He's the reason they lost. You cannot depend on role players, but you should be able to depend on your all star center/pf/team captain. He's just not in it and they only really have Tiago there to back Tim, not to replace him. Tony can only do what Tony does. He doesn't have good court vision, only sees Tim on the pass most of the time. Kawhi is a great defender, his handles are a bit suspect on offense and his shot selection is a bit off as well. I loved his aggression attacking the rim, but there are times in the game when you have to stick to the plan. The Spurs didn't buy into it after the half, they went into hero mode and every player on the floor was chucking up shots.
They might get turned around. All it takes is for Tim to find his jumpshot. After that, Tim will be a threat up top again and that will open up the paint. Why he's line driving shots at the rim I have no idea, but he's got some autistic roadblock in his head that teaching cannot get around it seems.
This isn't the finished product. It's still basically training camp.
Portland was also an "elite" team the Spurs faced. Almost similar result.
Those are the top players on the team.
Exactly, and Manu did NOT look good.
This has been a pattern the last few years, play great against the weak sisters in the league and get a fat record but not so impressive against the top teams. This spur team might not be any better than other teams.
Still "ignoring" me I see.

Who did?
You must have been sucking each other s during the game because Manu played a decent game today.
Lol! What game were you watching, moron?
Leonard. Missed some close ones though. Not sure why.
If the "pattern" is being a top 4 team in the league then let's keep on beating "the weak sisters"...
I'm actually more bummed that the Spurs lost the NBA championship belt than the game.
relax guys we are coaaaaaasting
Loser's mentality from a loser himself. OP is a joke
