Barnes had no business being in the game

He stunk the joint out last night but what are you gonna do, play Hedo?

Crawford at least in the OT. That open 3 he missed would have been money if Crawford had that shot.

I guess Doc's logic is Barnes would at least bother Leonard defensively so that's why he was in the game. Crawford can't guard anybody. But the way Barnes played last night, neither could he.

Really looking forward to Game 3 tonight. I like the Spurs chances, but I'm not counting this one as a W for them yet. Don't know if Parker is playing, but the Spurs figure to be thin at PG. Could be a real opportunity for Paul, and Griffin has been a monster so far.

come on Spurs, take these turkeys out and move on.

Point Guard is the one position where the Spurs are extremely deep. Mills and Joseph both have lots of experience and have started many games. Ginobili and Diaw can also run the offense in spurts.

I would start Joseph. He is a great defender and super young. He could just hound CP3 like a pest.
He doesnt have much offense but he is one of those energizer bunny defensive annoyance players.

I would use Mills late once CP3 is tiring. He is also young and fresh. But, he doesnt play much defense.
I dont trust him early to prevent CP3 from going off...wait until CP3 is tiring and bring in Mills.

If either one starts gacking in the moment, let Ginobili calm it down and run point for a few minutes.
Losing Parker HURTS badly no doubt. It is silly to suggest otherwise.

But, they should be able to cobble together a semi-coherent offense with their capable backup for one game.
There is just no way to win the series or go deep into the playoffs without him longterm.

Is he looking to his left at a ref or a teammate?

It should be his team mates. The refs were out there trying to help them win the entire game!

Freakin's Spurs. When they are flowing, Timmy could run point and they wouldn't miss a bit.

Smells like a spurs clinic tonight

Y'all ready or nah?

 

[Demonjoe93]

Should be a good game tonight.

I don't know if Los Angeles can win in San Antonio. That's why it was so imperative that they win both games in Los Angeles. I still think Spurs win this series in 6.

[Hambombs]

Kahwi is the spurs best player, defiantly. A star in this league

 

[Demonjoe93]

Clippers are just getting humiliated.

You Know I was expecting the Spurs to come alive and win, but I really didn't expect them to beat the Clippers down this poorly. I think this series could easily be over in 5 games.

 

[Hambombs]

Spurs in 5 let's bet on it BK
