We've had a few days off and we're finally back at home so hopefully this will be an easy win for us.
Go Spurs!!

Pistons have the worst pick & roll defense in the league. If we exploit that and not go completely cold offensively it will be an easy win. They have talent which shows up once in awhile (like when we played there) but no direction whatsoever. Just show up and play without mailing it in and it's a win.

Unfortunately, this is his first game back. Meaning he will probably in some sort of minutes restriction and he won't be trying to do too much.
If there is a time for Kawhi to take more of an offensive load, it's now with Parker out. I just wish he's 100% healthy and we start going to him more. I really want to see what Kawhi can do with high usage.

Well, in all honesty it was a broken finger right? It's not like he had a knee problem or other leg injury. I know there is nothing like full game shape but I'm sure he's been running and working out. It shouldn't take him very long to get back into the swing of things.

He'll definitely be restricted but we'll still get around 20 minutes from him which is better than none.

Tiago's post game has really been improving lately. He still can't finish, but he can get to the rim now.

Kawhi's looking a little rusty.

Manu just blew up his shoe, literally... I've never ever ever seen something like that before.

Nice run to end the half but way too many turnovers.

We are letting them hang around. Detroit usually falls apart in the 4th. That dunk by Kwahi scared me with his hand. You could tell he let go prematurely because he was thinking about it.

The Marco Manu connection is doing some serious damage right now.
