Spurs are better than the Pacers...yes spurs were struggling but damn the refs screwed the spurs as well...

[timtonymanu]

Lost this game in the first 4 minutes of the game. Played even the other 44 minutes...

Wow, such ugly offense. Look at those numbers.

Can we drop Messina to add KMart? Drop Messina, elevate Becky to Messina's position, and Bonner to Beckys position.

gsw vs lakers 3pt 4-30
sas vs pacers 3pt 4-28

CIA POP!

David West was the only guy to shoot 50%+

[Kawhitstorm]

Cavs about to lose so the Spurs haven't even lost ground on homecourt in the Finals

[timtonymanu]

Loss isn't a big deal, but hopefully Pop gets well soon. Messina ing sucked.

[crc21209]

Wolf man blaming it on Monaco...

[SAGirl]

Curious argument. Seemed like we got more than enough stops down the stretch to win this one. Just a lot of brick-laying.

I missed the first half which is when we were the most dry except for the first couple of minutes. TD and LMA together... spacing issues big time.

Spurs got plenty of wide open 3's tonight. Offense, IMO, generated quality looks. Sure, some were contested, but between their misses within 5 feet and some wide open 3's, it was a really bad shooting night.

[spurtech09]

Can't blame the refs everytime the Spurs lose.

What game were you watching?????...Spurs were struggling but the refs were doing there thing as well.....All those BS FTs...Ticky Tack fouls.....

[hooperflash]

Those missed layups in the 1st Quarter really cost us.

The issue was Tim/LMA missing point blank layups, not spacing.

Porky Pig, -9

Damn, BIG3-Patty started 3-3 from three land, ended shooting 0-7.

I got here just in time to see us chip the lead down from 16.

I am not getting into the Tim/LMA tandem discussion ever again. Nice try!

[SAGirl]

can we look at that bench and realize that KA got more rebounds than D. West and Diaws 4 and 2? We gave up offensive rebounding too. Specifically remember D.West failing to box out

Seriously Messina could have tweaked things. I think he allowed our scoring issues for too long b4 making an adjustment.

[Mugen]

IIRC, the only time the O ran through Aldridge down the stretch, it generated a wide open 3 for Leonard that he missed...

While I'm not generally a fan of just dumping it down to him, he was our best scoring option tonight with Kawhi having PG on him tbh

[BatManu20]

At least the Cavs lost tonight... not that that helps us much.


More importantly, come back soon Pop.

Boris1.1 played FOURTEEN minutes tonight thank you

[BillMc]

Road losses happen. Get well Pop and/or his family member.

I don't know it felt like Kawhi had to force up a lot of tough shots, Tony too, and they were playing passing lanes, so Kawhi's attempts to pass were deflected. Have to credit the Pacers too, they were tough in this one defensively too.

I did not even see DWest in the game, IIRC. Nor Kyle, nor Simmons for that matter.
