GT: Heat vs. Spurs

[Nolan]

When: 6:30 PM MT Nov 14th 2016
Where: AT&T Center, San Antonio TX

Should be a good one tonight. The Heat haven't exactly been on their game so far this year and we have already beaten them once this year. But they are a scrappy team and deep team with a couple quality players.

Contain the Dragic Whiteside P&R is going to be the key to winning this one.

Go Spurs!!

Kawhi's rebounding better tonight. Nice to see.

i knew i find you here

[Milenkovic]

I'm really like Dedmon more and more

[Phreak50]

Kawhi now 24-68 2 pointers over the last 5 games. 35%.

Maybe he can't quite handle the workload of the increased shots while still being the best defender in the league.

WINSLOW................

[Nolan]

I see nothing wrong with any of those Winslow plays. He's a big strong dude that plays hard.

Didn't catch the game. Can anyone give me a summary? I may watch the replay if I have some free time.

It was incidental contact, nothing intentional or dirty. Basketball is a contact sport injuries happen.

The Spurs held a nice lead at the half. I thought Manu and Tony played well in the first half. In the second half, the game became unpleasant to watch -- a la 1990s NY Knicks -- as the Heat increased their defensive physicality. Dedmon limped away awkwardly for several minutes after receiving a nasty thigh bruise from Winslow. Meanwhile Kawhi's offense seemed bothered by the physical play. In my estimation Kawhi played to the Heat's uninspired level. It's the third consecutive game in which Kawhi's offensive energy felt...low. Since last Friday's game, Kawhi's seemed either ill (perhaps flu), fatigued (due to schedule), or weary (from his offensive burden).

Meanwhile Pop started Mills at PG at the top of the fourth allowing Tony fresh legs during the final minutes of the fourth. In Friday's game against the Pistons, Pop started Tony at the top of the fourth, tiring him too soon. IMO keeping Parker fresh for the end of the game helped stem the Heat's end-of-game run. At this point, I'd rather have a fresh Tony running the offense than Mills with under 2 minutes remaining.

As for Kyle Anderson, he again played passively. In the second half, Manu fed KA for an open three (as he did Saturday) but this time Kyle opted to penetrate and dump off rather than pull the trigger. I also spotted a KA defensive lapse that allowed an easy Heat layup. Pop certainly has been patient.

Didn't catch the game. Can anyone give me a summary? I may watch the replay if I have some free time.
