You mean to say give the ball to kawhi? Wow...Imagine if our PG understood the term "hot hand"..oh he does, wheb its his hand.
It seems they've been getting torched lately (and maybe all season, I haven't checked the stats yet) by good, even mediocre, wing players. Wiggins shredded them. Kawhi dropped 23 on 8-12. And Matt Barnes, Lance Stephenson, and Vince Carter all had arguably their best games of the year, at the same in' time
It's not all rosy, though. The Warriors seem to easily deal with low post bigs (Randolph was awful tonight), and if you're not one of the quicker PGs in the league, point guards don't seem to give their overall defense too much trouble. Patty and Tony haven't had one good game against them this season, for example.
So okay, gots (you know who you are), if Tony isn't going to be that 3rd scoring option, then it's The Client. I mean, an ancient Vince Carter just dropped 15, 7, 4 on 50% shooting. If we can get numbers like that from Manu, consistently, I'm believing again. And yes, the flip side here is what about Danny Green. More Manu, means less Green, and Green is our best Curry defender. Well, Pop is going to have to live up to his genius reputation and get creative with lineups. Beating the Warriors is going to require an unconventional gameplan. Maybe Manu gets some minutes at PG, or Pop employs a small ball lineup with LMA, Kawhi, Green, Manu, Parker/Mills.
All I know is that Manu is going to have to get bigger minutes in that series. And on that point, K-Mart might indeed be an X-Factor.

lmao no
why do you idiots keep ignoring that the only teams that challenge us are mostly bad teams?? we are the anti-Spurs
Been saying it all year:
Manu
Green
Leonard
Fathead
Diaw/LMA
Anderson is going to get minutes.
You still fail to understand my logic of wanting Tony or Manu or Menke Bateer being that 3rd guy.
When the defense starts loading up on Kawhi, someone else aside from LMA, who might be having trouble of his own, will have to step up and relieve that pressure so that the game opens back up for Leonard.
We ain't beating the Warriors with a 2 man attack and an inconsistent committee.
Everyone needs to stop looking for the silver lining and stop fooling yourselves. The Spurs will be fortunate to get to the WCF. If they win it, that will be a miracle. All the talking head about "surprises" is just to sell copy. There's no sliver lining, this Warriors team scores when it needs to and even their bench could challenge our starters.
So think about the 1st round, maybe we need to consider that Memphis might be tougher than we need them to be.
You seem to have trouble understanding that I dont have a problem with someone else is stepping up. I have a problem when that someone else runs 95% of his sets not involving the best player.
The spurs have multiple variations of horns that feature the wings for example.
Yes, but the primary action will always start with Tony going through a big, and with the wings getting the ball in their spots off secondary action. Just look at the numerous Horns sets. Most all of them begin that way. If the PG and a Wing initiate the primary action in a Horns set, it's usually for a big to finish the play.
Example:
so you are'nt against a "gib Kiwi the ball" for a starting plan? I mean you would give it a try, maybe we can get away with Kawhi dropping 35-40 on their heads in one of the first 2 key games at Oracle before the Warriors adjust and swarm him more..In three games so far we haven't gone to town with Kawhi despite the fact he was set on a hot shooting pace in a couple of them (4-6/8-12)...the Spurs will have to comeback 1-1 to San Antonio to have chance and I'm not expecting the committee to bring that win home..
Game 1 is really key here. Pop might be holding out kawhi in this matchup till game 1 where they can surprise them.
Aldridge, Kawhi, Timmy, and whoever else handles it in the post needs to work in practice on people swiping at the ball. Need to run drills where there's constant hands going at them. Too many turnovers against GS in the post, especially Aldridge
The best player has not learned how to solve double teams and to dribble consistently to get easy layups. I have faith that he will. Until then, quit thinking KL is Jordan. He is NOT. But he is clearly our best player. So we need to get him the ball off screens and on cuts. Then the 3 and the jumper open up. He MUST rely on teammates unless he can steak/ dunk the entire game. Your hated Tony Parker is the key to this. If Tonyncan get past his man and draw help, KL will benefit. Just because Parker screwedvBarrys wife and has a round head... Get off it. Todays KL will suffer without a handler.
Aldridge got physically whipped by Green when posting. That, must cease.
Worriers are most vulnerable in Gm 2s since they tend to become overconfident & play sloppy/lackadaisical (Grizz/Cavs BOTH won Gm 2 & the Rockets had a chance but HarDone didn't even get a shot off before the buzzer). If you are a road team, you rather win Gm 2 & go home w/ a chance to go up 2-1.
The Spurs basically used that strategy to go up 2-1 on the Cripples but couldn't finish the job at home in Gm 6.
IMO, there are 3 possibilities to how the series is going to end up: (Defensively)
-2005 Suns/Spurs: Pop dares Draymond to average 35 (ala Amare) by trapping Curry & leaving him open
-2007 Suns/Spurs: D-West hip-checks Wardell & Draymond gets suspended
-2010 Suns/Spurs: Curry runs circles around LMA

no need to worry about that if the refs are gonna let Draymond Green continue to tackle people and curry use his hands on defense. They don't have to be able to defend anyone
Actually, Warriors defend 2s and 3s better than they defend any other positions IIRC..
Their defense fell off a bit following Iguodala's injury, but they will probably step it up for the playoffs..
Even when their defense was peaking earlier in the year, they would still get destroyed by opposing 4s and 5s..
I'd rather they punch the warriors in game 1 and give themself a shot at a 2-0 lead. Going all out and winning game 1 gives you an opportunity to close ther series in game 2.Worriers are most vulnerable in Gm 2s since they tend to become overconfident & play sloppy/lackadaisical (Grizz/Cavs BOTH won Gm 2 & the Rockets had a chance but HarDone didn't even get a shot off before the buzzer

That strategy didn't quite work against the 2012 ThundeRefs
The spurs had homecourt bro.That strategy didn't quite work against the 2012 ThundeRefs
He's right, they've got 16 wins.
Iggy/Barnes could cancel out the opposing wings & Curry/Klay/Livingston/Barbosa will outplay the opposing backcourt. They don't get much production from their 4s/5s so a team loaded at the frontline is bound to give them the most trouble especially if Klay chokes & Barnes reverts to his ty self.
Didn't matter to the refs
Pretty much..Kawhi will need to do his thing, but Aldridge/Diaw are going to be the most important offensive players, along with Green making 3s(which would allow him to stay on the floor, since he's essential in this matchup)..
