parker on bench... spurs now have a chance.

[bklynspursfan]

Ahhhh. Simmons missed a wide open Leonard. selfish, heroballer ... That's the cool thing to say here when something like that happens I think

[Mikeanaro]

At what point do we blame bad matchups and just start believing we're just not that great this year?

I feel like Kawhi will turn it on in the playoffs but it will be similar to LeBron....Too many minutes and his legs won't be there when it's needed most.

What the are you talking about? Kawhi is 25 years old.

[99 Problems]

Thank goodness Whi and Little General back in tbh.

[skin27]

Yea sorry fellas tried to correct it immediately and ST froze up on me per par smh.. We play Rox in round 2. Glad we're avoiding the Clips.

That's if the Spurs pass the grizzlies in the first round.

[rasuo214]

Kawhi and LMA may need to play 40+ mins a game in the playoffs.

[bklynspursfan]

They will. I don't see any way we don't unless we suffer a major injury

[SAGirl]

Ahhhh. Simmons missed a wide open Leonard. selfish, heroballer (end sarcasm)

glad
he turned it around.
I bet he got a talking to about moving the ball after his last game.
He can be a nice player if he doesn't go hero.

[sasaint]

Horrible
Pop decision.
I guess he's testing out right now.

Some tests don't need to be made; the result is obvious beforehand. But somebody needs to test Pop's cognition.

[BatManu20]

We will. Just might take a little longer than we'd like.

[BillMc]

I wonder if LMA, KL and others are getting all this time because they're not going on the final road trip of the season (or at least not playing on it).

[bklynspursfan]

I want to live in a world where Kawhi gets superstar level treatment from the refs

[TheGreatYacht]

Spurs still hiring those old ass mummy shot clock keepers

+1

I am shocked to see them still out there.

They were pretty much the only reliable guys last postseason too.

I think Pau can be relied on for scoring but he's a defensive liability that can be attacked and have minutes limited at times because of it. He can be a difference maker for scoring droughts though.

Luckily Simmons seems to have come in with a more balanced game, which I am glad to see. Hopefully he can have a few good games. '

Everyone else is questionable to me.

[Darius Bieber]

This team is ing done. Trash.

I think there are times on the 2nd unit where he has to kinda force the issue. But he does get carried away sometimes, and doesn't keep his head up. He's the only guy in that unit who can get to the rim , and tho Manu can, it's not realistic for him to do it often at his age imo. Just needs to be smarter

[Cklbmk]

LMA's game is so ugly

[99 Problems]

Taking the ball from CP3.

He gets carried a lot and gets hit by tunnel vision really bad. That is when he has TO, and makes bad decisions.
I'd like to think it's a growing phase.
We shall see contract year Simmons in the playoffs.
I wish him well.

[DarrinS]

I see you're bringing fresh takes.

[TheGreatYacht]

Manure 1/4, 3TO, -15

[SAGirl]

It may be. I just think Pop has a feeling these guys are not playing well and they need to get it together.

[ElNono]

I'll take the Rockets over this team on our way to the WCF, tbh....
