GT: Spurs vs. Suns 

Post#1 » by Nolan » Sun Feb 21, 2016 6:13 pm

When: 3:00 PM MT Feb 21st 2016
Where: Talking Stick Resort Arena, Phoenix AR

Like the Lakers game this should be an easy one for us but I have a feeling that it won't be, third game in 4 days and an afternoon game this could be trouble.

Go Spurs!!

Phoenix just gave us a close game in the end. Horrible shot selection by them.

Home to watch the replay now, was expecting a much bigger margin.

edit: shocked to see Anderson grab a rebound, wave off passing it to Parker and surprisingly take it end to end for the...slam?!

Offense in the first qtr was pathetic. Lethargic and even disrespectful to the Suns with how they were walking around and throwing the ball around so casually.

Second quarter was better, some good movement at times. Still overpassing the ball, especially since that extra pass is going to players like Anderson who refuses to shoot most times, or David West out deep etc. I think Parker overdribbles a bit much as well.

Mills looking good. About the only guy that seems to be playing with a bit of fire inside him to be honest.

edit: Mills is balling. 6-9 from three. His attack and general effort really gets the team going.

Another example of the team needing some fire, Danny Green gets called for a charge he doesn't agree with then on the next two plays, comes from nowhere for a one handed rebound slam, then hits a driving pullup.

and Butler showing he can still play. He was solid and I like it because it takes minutes away from Simmons and forces him to keep working for court time.

Just finished the replay, another lack luster performance. The Sun's did come out with a ton of energy but that's no excuse for the way we played. Ton's of lapses on the defensive end and no movement on the other end.

Mills had a great game though, hit a ton of three's and played with some fire.

And Danny (of all the guys) really carried us at the end.

I think they just lost their legs, they have a short bench and they were playing all out for most of the game.
