GT: Feb 28th Charlotte @ San Antonio 8:30pm EST

They really swarmed Kemba but Kemba didn't help his cause.

Kemba got destroyed by a career backup.

The blame lies with Kemba and no one else.

From what I seen in the second half, Kemba was pathetic, it didn't even look like he was trying defensively.

Yes Kemba had a terrible game but our #2 overall pick MKG put up a goose egg, Kemba at least scored in double digits

MKG was to busy sliding all over the court after loose balls to score, and Kemba took 15shots to get 11 points

Im aware Kemba had a bad game but 0 points is 0 points, he was drafted #2 overall.

Yeah MKG laid a goose egg offensively.

MKG played 22 minutes and had 0/8/2/2/1 and was the best defender on the court.

Kemba played 35 minutes and had 11/4/2/1 on 3-15 shooting and wasn't even trying defensively, 2 of his made baskets came in garbage time, when the game was out of reach.

I love me some Kemba but he is not above criticism and he was pathetic tonight.

Kemba deff stank it up tonight im not denying that im just saying we could have also used 10 points from MKG which is still low from a #2 overall pick.

[fatlever]

clifford really needs to do a better job of mixing the shooters in with jefferson and the defenders in with the shooters. our starting lineup was anemic offensively tonight. hendo and MKG wrecked spacing as usual. meanwhile kemba was having a bad night and mcbob wasnt hitting 3s.

but cliff puts in 4 shooters with biz, which makes no sense. instead of having to cheat off shooters to help a post guy, the spurs were able to aggressively run at the shooters.

biz is at his best setting picks for the iso guys. jefferson needs shooters.

cliff has to find a way to separate hendo and MKG. and since you cant play MKG and biz much together, the logical solution is to start neal and play hendo with the bench. but a move like that is probably too risky for the chemistry and lockeroom. so perhaps we need to sub hendo out after about 5 minutes and give neal and MKG time together. then bring hendo and tolliver in together.

[Liver_Pooty]

On a bright note Zeller is beginning to show some promise.

[Elden Payton]

Yeah I see your point but MKG played his role tonight, his role isn't even to get us 10 points.

8 boards for a SF is impressive, 8 in 22 minutes is elite, his defense was elite also, those are MKG's role in our team.

Kemba didn't play his role tonight and when it was evident his shot was not falling, he did absolutely nothing else to impact the game.

Patty Mills killed him and Kemba looked like he didn't even care.

[HornetJail]

Watched while working on a report.

Things I noticed:

Kemba came out flat tonight. Too many days of rest IMO, plus the Spurs did a solid job defending him.
Nice passing display by McBob- double digit dimes!
I thought TD looked invisible (or he just scored only when my attention was on my report) but 17/16/6? Gotdayum!
Neal looked good. He keeps this up, and I'll take back a lot of the negative things I've said about him. A little Ben Gordon-ish, but significantly less boneheaded. I'll take it.
Ridnour's going to need some time to gel. It hasn't happened yet.
Anyone else see Ginobili's horrendous Shaqtin' A Fool-esque pass into the stands?
Also **** Manu Ginobili. **** him.
MKG didn't show up on offense. At all. Not even a little.
I think Zeller had his most productive game yet. Good for him, I think he may be turning a corner- was only two rebounds shy of a double-double.
GINOOOOOOOOOOOOOBBBBLLLLLLIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIII

[gehenherzog]

When Kemba is off, our starting lineup simply can't score unless Henderson is playing well. You can't expect McBob to be putting points up. So our only consistent offense from the starting line-up, if Kemba is off, is Al Jefferson.

I really dislike Gerald Henderson. I will not be surprised if Neal earns his way into the starting lineup.

[catch20two]

3 of our starters, Kemba, MKG, and as usual Hendo had bad games and we were competitive against the 4-time champs. I'll take that as looking at it on the bright side but it would've been a whole lot brighter if they came to play so we could've got the W. I'd say what killed us was that stretch in the 2nd or 3rd quarter, I can't remember exactly, where we missed about 5 wide open shots on consecutive possessions. I'm liking Neal so far on our team. It look like he can play Sessions role as a scorer off the bench better than Sessions.

[freakon0mics]

Neal actually looked decent for us. Love them floaters he was putting up, especially the one from the give and go from Big Al. But you can tell there were some kinks that still need to be iron out since we just traded for him and Ridnour.

Also, another decent game by Zeller. He's been putting up solid performances the past couple of games. MKG had 0 points but his presence was known. He was busy grabbing rebounds, playing defense, and making all the hustle plays. If you see him on defense, he was practically around the ball at all times.

I watched all game, and it's not like MKG had enough the ball in his hands to score 10 points.

But the offensive rebounds and good defense must be pointed out. After the game, I hadn't the impression that he has played badly.

[DY_nasty]

MKG does everything but score.

#notenough

[BeesWax]

Doing everything but score is plenty if the rest of the team is able to score. Henderson and Kemba killed him tonight because we had three guys who are not good offensive options instead of just one. Then the bench comes in and it is Neal and scrubs on offense and Biz and scrubs on defense.

[DY_nasty]

I mean... when a team like San Antonio keys on one guy, they're going to remove him from the game. The team had managed to play through a horrible game from Al last week but this week the proved that they couldn't when the same happened to Kemba.

[Eoghan]

What really took the wind out of our sails was the fact that Al's jumper wasn't falling. When Al isn't hitting the jumper, he becomes a mere mortal and doesn't score enough to make up for the points he gives up on the other end.

[mrknowitall215]

We're giving MKG too much leniency. There's no room to have a scoreless night on 0-for-2 shooting no matter how good his defense was. Not to mention, if I can recall, I remember seeing Kawhi Leonard make a couple of backbreaking shots

MKG has to, and can play better on the offensive end. He doesn't necessarily need a jump shot to score in double-figures on a nightly basis

If he creates a shot for someone else, I honestly don't care - and I don't think anyone else on the team does either. He did it three times in the first quarter with defense and hustle so I'm kinda like....
