This is amazing haha!

Claxton is the dude we've needed all year long.

Ian Eagle is creaming himself every time Claxton touches the ball. LMAOO

Weve collapsed without the Alchemist.

Spurs have become very aggressive in trapping/doubling both Kyrie and Harden. Unfortunately, role players aside from Claxton aren't really having much of an impact.

DeRozan is making some heavily contested mid ranges over and over again. Hopefully he starts missing some of those in the 2nd half

Let this kid get his feet back and get some experience with this team. He'll be feasting vs 2nd units. Having Kyrie and Harden feeding young buck makes it easy on him to gell but this kid has some offense in his game.
Nic had few blocks and one deflection, but several been losing his man and played on top 3 pt line. Thats until Harden let him know. Lost LMA twice than Peoltl one time. He needs more reps.

Beside Joe no one can get wide open shot. Robertson won't make a cut for sure, he just scared to shoot.

Disappointing end to the half. Shamet and TJ missing a lot of open looks, and the Spurs hit some tough shots. Derozan is 7-8 from the field.

We should win this if this continues though, we're gonna start hitting those open looks eventually imo. What a half for Claxton btw!

Does it make Deandre look bad that he consistently gets badly outplayed by his backup, or did we just find two special young bigs in Allen and Claxton?

Claxton has kept us in tonight’s game. Got to give credit to Deandre who is also playing well. Hopefully our bench guys start connecting on threes in the second half.

we going to need DJ muscle Biid and keep Greek from painted area. DJ still very serviceable in 20+ min span. But you right, Nic is coming for that starting gig. Jeff might close games but Nic we definitely going to need Nic size and athleticism.

how does that qualify as DJ having posession?

GYK · Post #34 » by **GYK** » Tue Mar 2, 2021 2:48 am

Not just the best scoring trio. Best passing trio ever.
Claxton switch but DJ is dropping. So we know how to keep our bigs away from the switch if we want. Still his ability to switch not worth the removal of protection and rebounding position.

I love these Spurs unis. Wish we had a third color.

4th easiest schedule remaining. should solely be focused on defensive tinkering.

Brown is a really nice finisher around the rim. Like, he doesn't miss a lot of bunnies, and is pretty good at finishing through contact and in traffic.

He didn't tap it, he held it and threw the ball back, so the refs count that as possession and him basically throwing it into the backcourt. Right call imo.

Sooooo nice to have Kyrie back ^^

I don't mind that he has to miss games now and again, as long as we keep him healthy and fresh for the playoffs

that's where it's kinda weird, because if he tried to call a timeout it wouldn't be granted on the basis that he's falling out of bounds. So he has enough possession for a backcourt violation, but not enough for a timeout.

That Poeltl push shot has been automatic, holy crap.

Frustrating game atm, Spurs ball action is killing us.
