He'll get cooked worse than Harper

im talking about him taking barnes minutes and wasting fouls on brunson...plus hes a good rebounder and his hands are active, cant be any worse than Barnes

 

[ginobilized]

Champ looked like he might've partied last night or is just freezing under the MSG lights. He was beyond passive and out of place on defense

 

[KDKSpurs24]

Carter Bryant should get minutes on Brunson if we are going to keep castle on bench

On Brunson??? Oh no please. He doesn’t have the foot speed to guard Brunson. Brunson would do whatever he wants. Carter tends to fin himself trailing even bigger guys sometimes but he is able to get back in the play. He wouldn’t be able to do that with Brunson

Our lack of great 3pt shooting is going to hurt us once we play consistent good teams in the playoffs. All these great guards we have means nothing if teams can clog up the paint.

 

[wemvp]

It's simple.
The more we chuck, the more they focus on defending the paint and we just can't make a couple to force them out on the perimeter.

26% from 3 on 19 first half attempts. Going to be cooked if they don't shoot 40% in the 2nd half.

Teams will try to force us to shoot the 3 because we can kill everyone from 2 with Wemby and the guys who can attack the rim.

A bit fortunate to only be down 10. Easily within striking distance if they raise their level and shoot better.

Mitch in the locker room - “we have them where we want ‘em fellas!”

 

[kjhip1]

It’s 500 times less stressful watching the game for me when I don’t follow the live threads, tbh.

yeah, especially when people cliff dive after 1 or 2 quarters

 

[Blizzardwizard]

fox is paid way too much to play like a glorified gary neal every other game

 

[KDKSpurs24]

Weird game
Spurs have a chance only down 10
I'm calming down a bit

Exactly. I still feel calm. This game is still winnable. Feels good to feel that way now after all these years

 

[Hoopdreams11]

We saw the defense for towns bait him in to contested threes space him a little.

 

[Sugus]

Well, time to re-group. Win or lose, this is a great experience to have - shitty calls against you and no-calls your way is par for the course in the playoffs. Better to experience this shit now than in the middle of the 1st round.

Having said that...... 60 Million Man, what the fuck are we paying you for. Any bozo off the street can chuck 3's and do nothing on defense. He continues to be underwhelming against actually important teams.

Concentrated toxicity in game threads is better than being used in the outside world, perhaps

Baselinebums is doing society a service

 

[Dbreiden83080]

Steph and Fox 3/12..

 

[kjhip1]

Knicks are a very bad 3rd quarter team and have lost big leads in the 4th quarter. Their drought is coming, good guys just need to hit their shots when it occurs. Cant do nothing about refs swallowing whistles

 

[Cant_Be_Faded]

Is this a match up issue lol we looked dominant 5 minutes then it's been total total shit show

It’s an aggressiveness issue, IMO. It’s a game of runs. They need to punch back.

I mean, we lost to this team once before and only won by 2 points the second time. Seems like we're evenly matched.

Still think the Spurs are the better team -- but they sure aren't showing it so far

people are toxic no matter what, but i see your point.

Wemby subbed out 1Q started the slide and we never fully recovered. As has been said by others, fucks with wemby’s rhythm. Then Wemby came back in, didn’t get a rebound, and Knicks ended up with a 5 pt possession

 

[Trifecta]

Want to see more inside game develop! Take advantage of the size mismatch!

 

[Floyd Pac]

Have to play an 8 man rotation to beat them and double off Josh hart. And just hope Harper doesn’t make stupid rookie mistakes.

 

[spursparker9]

Fox max contract has not even kick in yet....hope his max contract won't be the worst in spurs history

 

[NotRobDiaz21]

That flagrant 1 on Harper? completely turned the game

 

[The Ballsbreakers]

Neal could shoot.

Lol that was really wtf...even mike Malone and Steve Jakie were confused
