Well, it didn’t help that they lost Ford and depended on Neal at PG. He wasn’t horrid, but it wasn’t ideal. The best offense that came out of a lot of his plays was his own shot. he did get the ball to guys though. It’s just not the same as when it is Ford or Parker though.
But Turnovers in the 4th. They had 6/16 in the 4th. That was big.
Overall, though, it was a good loss. A few mistakes here and there, but a lot they could clean up. Yes, no loss is good, but this loss had some answers to it. OKC – you can’t really make them less athletic or shorten their arms.
Winter is coming
I don’t get it. Why wouldn’t you call a timeout? At least when it’s obvious that the play is broken with TP dribbling in the corner with 5 seconds left.

wow. Another loss at the road? What the hell happened? I missed the game… Was it that bad again?
shit happens.
I was looking at the Spurs’ side of the boxscore, and was thinking how the hell can we lose!? TD with a near triple double, TP scoring 22 at 50+% FG, RJ still shooting well..
shit happens.
you know defence? well, funny thing, the spurs don’t.

and Pop didnt tried Green on him

—Popovich on Manu Ginobili
I think we will be fine to be honest though. We are shooting great and we actually have the players to be better defensively. So once Pop gets a line up he likes we should get things going
One thing i can do...................is FINGER ROLL.
+Leonard’s growth is the best thing from the game. He had a solid road trip. His best game keeps being the most recent one. RJ/KL at the SF is a nice tandem this season. They’ll be pretty damn good by the end of the season
+Duncan and Parker shot well.
+Blair had his most balanced/under control game.
+Neal at least looks to be rounding out his offense once again.

And they start falling like flies. Many more injuries to this team and we are looking at the Lottery which wouldn’t be all that bad with the Spurs Lottery luck. Would it not piss off a lot of folks if the Spurs were to draw Numero Uno again!!!
A lot of teams are losing guys. Eric Maynor just torn his ACL.
Grizz lost Arhur for the full season. Randolph is out most of the season.
Spurs will be there at the end.

I’m thrilled with the result. Kawhi had a great game and that’s all I’m looking at right now. Now I’m off to do some research on this Thomas guy. Later people.

Did we really just let the Milwaukee Bucks light us up for 106 points? A team thats averaging 91.6 pts/game this season.
Watching Pop’s post game press conference, I thought his head was gonna expload until someone brought up Kawai and I could hear the anger subside….
Kawhi had a great offensive game but was playing with his hands down to much against Jackson on defense. Jackson was drilling jumpers on him because of that

He said that about the last two Spurs teams, equal parts meaning it and also to fire them up. Unfortunately, he may actually mean it about this particular team.
A man gets the eye of a Tiger, but a Tiger gets the eye of a Manu.
This team is stronger on the wings. Obviously, if Neal is going to get time over Green and Anderson, then it becomes somewhat null, but the possibility exists.
The problem is Duncan is going to be more limited depending on games. He also managed Tiago’s minutes in this game. Otherwise, he’d like have seen more time if there wasn’t a game tomorrow.

what i mean is, you see jackson lighting us up for 32 points, but you don’t see him doing that against other teams because you don’t watch the bucks. he’s still a decent player, he’s going to score 25+ on occasion, but you don’t see it happen UNLESS he does it against the spurs. so there is an element of observation bias – you see guys score against the spurs because you watch the spurs. those guys are also occasionally scoring against other teams as well. its not like every game someone is setting a career high against us.

Not really bias if you think about it. Look back at the games we lost, and see that the teams show well above their normal percentage than they usually do. For example Wesley Johnson went almost perfect from the field against us. Houston lit us up, and so did OKC.
there’s still an element of observation bias though. wesley johnson will quite probably shoot like that again (more than once!) this season, but you won’t see it.
people aren’t rational when it comes to sport, especially when their team loses.

Wes johnson is a good shooter and Jackson is a good scorer so I agree with you about the observational bias statement. But our defense isn’t good and that is the reason people play so well against us

You know how we win? By getting a stop defensively. When we won championships we were a great defensive team. We played Run and Gun ball last year and look where it got us. A first round exit. We just gotta get better on defensive rotations. I truly think we have the players to be a solid defensive team and once Pop figures out the line up he likes we will be better

Leonard played solid defense but he has got to learn to keep his hands up. Against Durant he was always there in his face when he shot his jumpers but because he had his hands down trying to get steals he would get a pull up"J" in the eye.
Jackson pretty much did the same thing to the young guy tonight. The beauty of Leonard is he still barely gets beat but against good to great scorers he has to learn to keep his hands up
One thing i can do...................is FINGER ROLL.
Didn’t watch the game – how come Danny Green barely got any run? Seems like he could have possibly helped to try and slow down Jackson.
Not gonna happen for a little longer now. The teams they are playing are too lame.

right now what’s worse, the perimeter defense or the inside defense? cause i notice that pop always has duncan in with blair and then splitter in with bonner. it’s rare that splitter and duncan are on the floor together, they are way better at protecting the paint then blair or sigh matt bonner

this is our worst loss today. TJ started to play well, and he is a very good fit for the team. hopefully, he’ll be back soon.

Hopefully if he is out a while, at least Joseph gets to play. He had potential. He won’t make the team move the same, but at least it keeps the ball out of Neal’s hands as the backup PG.
Winter is coming
Neal is probably better at this point. Joseph needs to learn how to play before he gets to play.

It’s probably a wash. Too much Neal, means lots of lack of D. That is hurting the Spurs a tad.
The problem with Neal, is he’s there to score too. It’s a really difficult balance that Parker has finally gotten to after all those years.
Winter is coming
Neal is clearly not TJ as a passer. Nor is he Manu. With those two guys out he is just our 2nd best option at PG by default. I didn’t see anything from Joseph though telling me that he belongs to the NBA. NBDL may be better fit for him at this point of his career.

As we’ve seen from lack of backup PG all these years, non-PGs in limited minutes works, but over long periods of games, it doesn’t. A change is good. I’m not saying, strip Neal of all his minutes, but Joseph gives them another mix.
It’s like the SF position. It’s mostly covered by RJ/Leonard. They both bring a little bit different so Pop has some options. And since they are different, Pop can bring RJ back and slide him in at the 2.
Spurs need a little bit of unpredictability. That’s where Manu always had a curveball.
Controlled unpredictability is key for the Spurs. That’s where Blair’s can be good and bad. When it’s under control, he does well, but when it’s bad, it’s not as good.
This game was a good example of that balance where he had control. It was one of his best games of the season. Maybe not super numbers, but he was in control and played within the flow of the game.

You make a lot of good points. I just not sure that we are at the point where we would like to develop Joseph at the expense of the team play. May be it’s better to give Agent 0 a ten-day contract, he would certainly give us a different look.

Gil is too much of a ball stopper. If you go 10-day, take someone who isn’t afraid to pass the ball.
Joseph would get time, at least in my idea. Obviously, if he’s just going to sit, then yes, there is no point in bringing him up.
Winter is coming
I hope, FO follows Joseph’s development and has better idea, whether he is ready to get minutes. Meanwhile, it would be nice if we could bring in some stopgap veteran for 10 days. I don’t know who is available, but somebody might. Tinsley may be? Jason Williams?
"I don’t think anything I just wrote makes any sense." - by quincyscott on Apr 1
Either way, Neal shouldn’t start any longer if he’s taking on main duties, at least tomorrow (since it is short notice).
Green or KA should start with RJ. Or if Pop wants to go crazy, RJ/Leonard. Then at least the starting unit’s D would improve once again.
Winter is coming
we also had that guy QWin, whatever happened to him?

Spurs brought in better talent. Ford and Joseph made him not needed, at least at the time. Although, I guess with the lockout, he probably went overseas.

So I miss a game and we lose a road game again. I guess I must starting watching road games this season for us to win. I blame myself for the Spurs Woes.
Keep the faith!!
I missed 3 of the 4 losses. I only watched the loss against OKC. By now I’m convinced my eyeballs have healing powers and the guys can actually hear me when I scream “close out on shooters!” at my computer screen.

You can throw out the Houston game though. 4th game in 5th night was a guaranteed win unless Houston found a way. Dallas loss to the Spurs was nearly guaranteed with their 6th game in 8 nights.
Twolves hit everything from 3pt land. You don’t often to 78.6% (11 of 14) from behind the arc and lose. And not all of those were open!
OKC at this point, is just way better. They were too long for everyone. This is the game where Manu could make a difference in making it a game.
Bucks game was a loss with mistakes. This could have been fixed with more time. This game is just a matter of removing some mistakes, bad turnovers. Manu would erase some of that, but the game was winnable. Houston was not. Twolves was a statistical anomaly . OKC is one of the top teams in the league, even without Maynor.

Ws won against Miami.

I don’t understand where the Dubs nickname comes from
Every time someone says Dub, I think of the University of Washington.

I think, it comes from W. University of Washington doesn’t play in the NBA.

I know. But UW fans say “UDub”.
