Can't overpay a 6ft sg tbh
So you think "he played great"? That is your honest assessment? If that is the case, we just have to drop it because you and I see things VERY differently .
Can't overpay a 6ft sg tbh
SA is a damn good team and much better than everyone but GS. I dont think many people said SA wouldn't be "here" with Mills starting. I think, me personally at least, said that Mills was not a better option than Tony.
Yeah. I don't think he played any different than when we won by 39 against Houston. He maybe made more shots then, and Houston sets tier screens... but he didn't do anything much different, the Dubs are just a team that get away with a ton of , but we knew that.
I mean, there was plenty of people. I can't get mad with the fact that we hit our ceiling. GS is that much better team, but playing TP or Mills wouldn't really make any difference as far as Zaza setting fruity picks, etc.
If anything, going forward, I like that DJ is getting some experience.
And the WORSE ing thing about a LMA run offense is that when he runs the time down to like 6 seconds, passing it back out to a player.
How can you see GS is "much better" when both in the regular season and this playoff game SA clearly had success vs them?
I mean, if you want to say they would win the series I totally understand. But this isn't some tier 1 vs tier 2 type deal. SA is on the same tier.
That's the bottom line. His role is to make shots from 3. When that's not there guys should recognize he's limited in other areas. I thought he played well within himself etc, but it's true part of the reason the Spurs went to without Kawhi was lack of perimeter playmaking. Manu stepped up... but struggled a few posesiones and Simmons showed this is his first rodeo at this level,.. he also didn't handle that pressure well, but Pop kept going to him bc he wa a better option to get a shot than Mills ... I wanted to see more Murray instead.
Simmons can't handle an offense in the half court. He's early transition and shifting defense attacker.
Patty is a short sg.
Both have value the Spurs are in a tough position this summer because these guys will likely receive offers well beyond their value.
I agree.
We shall see. I like both within a role but it's just unknowable what they will get. I think Spurs do want them back within reason... but out of reason deals I think they are gone.... we shall see.
That's what you get when Fatty Mills gets PG dutiesAnd the WORSE ing thing about a LMA run offense is that when he runs the time down to like 6 seconds, passing it back out to a player.

In what way the Spurs had more "success" in the regular season? This game played out exactly like the last RS game, just with the Spurs playing better defense and GS having KD for the whole game...
I think they're on a different tier... just IMO.
Spurs obliterated them game 1 of the season. Had a massive lead (that they blew) again. Then had a huge lead today until Kawhi got hurt. Having 3 20+ point leads vs the same team is success. The Anamoly is GS coming back, not SA getting leads.
Too similar to be an anomaly. I picked the Dubs in 5, tbh, because I do think they're on a different tier, both game and talent wise at this point... I think it goes far beyond role players, they just have way more weapons and there's no coaching advantage for the Spurs. We'll see.
Different tier does not go down 3 out of 5 games by 20+ points. Sorry. If Kawhi was not injured it would be 2 massive blow out wins with one other massive lead blown. So if SA beats GS 2 of 5 games in blowouts and one loss after blowing a huge lead, that doesnt change what you are saying?

Don't be a got dude. The only meaningful games are the playoffs. You cant too much from the RS. They were getting smoked until the best player on the planet went down. This was nothing like the RS. Don't be a got.

Spurs beat GS by 29 and 22 this year. GS beat SA 12 & 2 (tonight). Like I said, if Kawhi isn't injured tonight, that would be 3 out of 4 wins by double digits.
The worst best pg on the Spurs roster, tbh.
We haven't played them in a series in 4 years... I don't care about regular season, tbh... this is where the meat is, and while I'm very proud of the Spurs reaching this stage (this is the ceiling I had for them this season), the most surprising part of today's game was the fact the Spurs started the game the way they did, not the Dubs eventually turning it around, tbh.
I love my Spurs, and would love to have a shot at the Cavs, but I don't think we're at the talent and game level the Dubs have been in the past 2-3 seasons. The only thing that would change my mind about it if the Spurs do beat them or it takes them more than 5 games for them to beat the Spurs.
Completely agree. I don't really care about RS, but if you were to take a game for reference from there, it would be whatever is recent, if any.
The warriors barely beat up a depleted Spurs roster. That 20 point deficit with Kawhi, would probably balloon to 30 easy. It was that type of game.
I do think some team is going to overpay for Patty, I just hope the TP situation doesn't make the Spurs be that team... Love Patty, but for the right price. He's not at the top PG in the league level.
DJ having a decent showing is good in that aspect.
This is how you can tell who was gonna win. The Spurs let off the gas a little and the Warriors made a little run, then the Spurs go serious and then they were up 20 again. The Spurs were controlling this whole game.
