Good for the Spurs to get a win. Great 4th quarter. Spurs 14/16 from the field in the 4th.

they need 3 more games where somebody gets red hot from deep.


They hung in there before getting red hot despite an absurd amount of turnovers, I don't think tonights win was that flukey.

Just came across this, thought it was fascinating:

http://fivethirtyeight.com/features/wha ... n-the-nba/

#1 walkaway - we have the lowest percentage of players with tattoos on our team. I don't know if this is good or bad, but if we draft Stauskas or McDermott, I don't think that percentage is going up.
Who I woulda took:
2023: Miller | 2022: Duren | 2021: Bouknight, Jones | 2020: Ball | 2019: PJ | 2018: MPJ | 2017: Monk | 2016: Damian Jones | 2015: Winslow | 2014: Vonleh, Napier | 2013: McLemore | 2012: MKG | 2011: Knight, Kawhi

Cho and his high character guys

CDR probably has enough tats for everybody, and that's why he was signed, to raise the tattoo percentage 8-)

I didn't see that as a fluke win for the Spurs. The Spurs had control of and the lead in the game pretty much throughout the majority despite a unusual high amount of turnovers and Kawhi Leonard being in foul trouble

Agreed. Spurs turned it over at an insane rate, mostly unforced errors too, and Leonard and Green provided basically nothing till the 4th quarter but yet they lead most of the game and won easily. Only for a short time in the 2nd half did Miami ever seem to be in control. If not for the turnovers, San Antonio wins by 30. That wasn't a fluke win.

Jazz hire Quinn Snyder. Great hire for them. He's a really smart coach.

Really interested in seeing how Snyder works out. He is the guy I wanted for us but we went with Dunlop instead. I liked what I read about Snyder and especially his love of running the P&R (and many variations of it) from three positions 1 thru 4.

Man the Timberwovles are quickly becoming a mess. "No right to be frustrated, just like Kevin Garnett"....well um they haven't made the playoffs since 2004 and are making no attempt to get better and retreading on coaches, I'd say that makes Kevin Love frustrated

The Heat's season is on the line Sunday night, they won't recover from being down 0-2.

Duncan playoff bracket just listed the "Bobcats" as having 8 playoff wins, I guess the transition will take time for some.
