GT: Spurs vs. Suns

[Nolan]

When: 4:00 PM MT, Jan 14th 2017
Where: Mexico City Arena, Mexico City, Mexico

This should be a good one! Travel and weather should be our biggest enemies in this one. The Suns have already been in Mexico for a couple days so we need to come out fresh and play our game.

Go Spurs!!

Didn't have much interest in this game...but I had no idea that it was scheduled in Mexico...so I'm gonna watch it...should be fun.

Lack of respect for the Suns and the game in general by our guys in the first.

Already 7 turnovers and still a couple minutes to play in the first.

What a horrible game.

Wasted a career high 38 by Kawhi.

Just no help at all. Pau was non existent on offense, Danny Green 0-4 threes and Aldridge looked over powered by Chandler and Len which he should be embarrassed about, he couldn't get his jumper off and down low was throwing up hail mary's. LMA only getting 4 rebounds is sad as well. Tonight was the 'I want you traded and gone' Aldridge for me.

Outrebounded 45-33 is embarrassing as well.

And just too many turnovers. Simmons with 4 playing too out of control and backing up my statement in the Lakers thread yesterday about how skill and talent isn't enough. Kawhi had 3, a couple of them costly.

As drob said in the General board, Pop's rotations were bad too. Obviously we really missed Mills but we could have used Dedmon's hustle while Aldridge was struggling.

And I noticed a lot over the last few games and again tonight, the fault with Kawhi's defense. He is constantly keeping one eye on the guy with the ball and not trusting his teammates enough which is putting him out of position when his own man gets the ball. When he stopped that and decided to lock in on his man (as seen when he shut down Booker a couple times in the 4th), he was really good.

I'm not sure our team is actually learning from all of these losses, which is the worrying thing. Kawhi was unstoppable at times, especially when he posted up and then when he needed a bucket we went to Aldridge who was simply lost on offense tonight, or to Parker instead of riding Kawhi.

DAMN,WE KEEP CHOKING AT THE LINE IN CRUNCH TIME

Had a bad feeling about this game going in, knowing how easily Devin Booker can torch anyone. Also with them finally being healthy

I got no clue if LMA is still feeling effects from his sickness. But you're facing Phoenix and for someone of you're caliber only hoisting up a 15/4 statline is embarrassing.

I still want San Antonio to just bite the bullet and see what they can get in a trade. But of course they aren't going to entertain the idea


It's times like this where I wish Kawhi had a running mate beside him. Someone like.... Jimmy Butler. Okay, I know. too far.

Don't get mad at the guy that scored 38 get mad at the rest of the team that didn't show up for the second half. A free throw miss didn't lose us this game.

Another game that slipped away from us late that we should of definitely won. Kawhi was amazing but poor defense in the 4th and general fatigue killed us. Parker looked absolutely gassed.

I'm still not sure how I feel about these games in Mexico.

But he could tie the game if he made it.........
