Let's hope our boys don't get too comfortable and allow a 37 point quarter or anything like that. Wouldn't put it past this bunch lol

Unreal first half tbh. Nobody expected this on the 2nd leg of a b2b against a good team on the road. Let's finish strong and get Boban some PT in the 4th tbh.

[Mugen]

Tiago with 20pts/10reb at the half already wow

[spursistan]

I'll be like Pop and say,
not very impressed.
ATL has had good looks it has just missed ...
ATL playing like .

Manu 3!!!!!!

But we still deflected and challenged aplenty when they went inside...As a team, they move the ball well so they are bound to get some open ones..

[pgardn]

ATL is not going to keep missing all these shots in the second half.

Some of this is good defense...some is ATL not being able to put the ball in the ocean. They look about as bad tonight as we did in the first quarter last night.

True.

But when you challenge enough shots, open shots are often rushed.

Atlanta has been average this year.

Boban in street clothes, unless he can come out dressed after halftime, unfortunately we won't get to see him against Splitter.

This isn't the athletic Raptors out there. I knew Spurs would come to play today.

Not only the athletic Raptors,
Celtics gave us a very tough fight too.

I have to say I like the Raptors more in the EAst than ATL.
Kyle Lowry is a pitbull, Cojo gives them a tough defensive minded backcourt partner... Derozen does Derozen, drawing fouls.

Our weakness unsurprisingly is PG defense as Tony/Patty are so small.

[james evans]

anyone still feel that splitter is better than aldridge?

[SAGirl]

anyone still feel that splitter is better than aldridge?

I do not, but I will take him as a bench big over D.West and I like West.... We miss a real rim protector in the bench though. It is the one issue that keeps popping up and will not get resolved. At times it will get exposed.

[Raven]

We're unplayable around the rim. Its actually funny how OP we are..

[TheGreatYacht]

anyone still feel that splitter is better than aldridge?

no. Wtf

[spursistan]

[EVAY]

Wow. I didn't know that. Cool

[Canyonero]

Manu

[Fireball]

anyone still feel that splitter is better than aldridge?

never ... but for 80 million dollars LMA misses bunny layups just as good as Tiago does

[EVAY]

Get ready for a run by Atlanta in the second half. In before the melt down.

[UNT Eagles 2016]

We're unplayable around the rim. Its actually funny how OP we are..

unfortunately, the Warriors are even more OP'd and Steph Curry is Exodia, but without the constraint of having to have all 5 parts of his body to declare instant victory.

[steeledl]

How has simmons looked? My girlfriend making me watch stuff with her.

[TrainOfThought5]

TBH Parkers defense has been NBA average. Thats made a huge difference.
