[Spurs m8]

Best part is, its their bench LMAO

[Locked_Up_Tonight]

If The Starters were on this week it would be Leigh's Very Solid Play.

[Spurs m8]

Lmao

[dhsilv]

Manu and diaw are seriously two of the best passers in their positions ever. Add in two great 3 point shooting guards and that's a brutal passing lineup.

[SpaceJam]

GSW vs Spurs in the playoffs will be fun

[plowking]

Dear god that was pretty.

[SpecialQue]

Duncan's face at the end. :roll:

if the Heat played like that for 48 minutes they would have 4 peated and probably broke 72 regular season wins. one of the most stacked teams ever, the best player in the NBA and a two top 10 players. instead they let James and Wade switch off playing hero ball far too often. it's the same problem the Thunder suffer from.

Lebron ball though? :lol :lol

Anyway..that shit in the OP is stupid. They are scary.

It's a coaching problem. Very few coaches can pull that off. Spo, Scott Brooks, and Billy Donovan can't.

[oarabbus]

That is an incredible play. Excellent defense was being played and the spurs still overcame it.

[AirFederer]

Sick :applause:

Nah. Heat were a top heavy team. You need deep teams with talented role players to do this. Like the Warriors and Spurs.

The role players whom you praise were nobodies before they got to Spurs. Pop simply knows how to maximize their potential.

[bigt]

This is the kind of basketball I live for. Picture perfect smart plays that's a step ahead of the defense. It's good D but it looks like they're just toying with them

[SpanishACB]

they do give up a few great 3pt shots in that play though

[dhsilv]

David West, Boris Diaw? Nobody's?

Manu was a well known guy when they drafted him, and certainly isn't a nobody.

That leaves Mills and Anderson. I guess you can give pop credit for them, though anderson was if I'm not mistaken a first round pick by the spurs.

[DoctorP]

That's good basketball.

[Paul George 24]

The ball movement of the bench squad is far better than the starters. The bench focuses more on ball movement while starters seem to get the ball to Kawhi and lma and let them work.

[IncarceratedBob]

why give up wide open shots...?

[Alamо]

why give up wide open shots...?


Kyle Anderson doesn't seem comfortable with his 3 a lot of the times. You don't have to shoot a 3 just because you're open.

[JohnnySic]

Love it. That's what makes the game of basketball beautiful. :applause:

[Detroit]

The T-Wolves played good D on that play, but that passing doe:bowdown:

[Harison]

why give up wide open shots...?
To get even better high FG% shot :cheers:

[SCdac]

Spurs gonna Spur

love what david west provides to the team off the bench

[sd3035]

Spurs vs Warriors would be right up there with the GOAT finals series along with the Celtics/Lakers

It's a shame they are in the same conference

Zach Lavine beat 3 times in one offensive set.

[FKAri]

The role players whom you praise were nobodies before they got to Spurs. Pop simply knows how to maximize their potential.

It works both ways. Pop also doesn't have JR Smith and Nick Young playing for him for a reason.

[LONGTIME]

It's a coaching problem. Very few coaches can pull that off. Spo, Scott Brooks, and Billy Donovan can't.

No it isn't. Billy Donovan can't? He's coached 20 some games and you clowns on here expect him to have the Thunder playing like the Spurs. :oldlol: This shit takes time. Westbrook and Durant have played like they have for 7+ years, old habits die hard.

[references]

stupid. why didn't anderson pull up for the wide open 3?

[Harison]

It works both ways. Pop also doesn't have JR Smith and Nick Young playing for him for a reason.
Thats also correct. When genius like Pop is both GM and a coach, he gets whom he needs, even if it looks like rejects from the other teams.

Its bad when in such position is someone like Doc though, but thats another conversation.

RC Buford is the GM.

[Spurs m8]

stupid. why didn't anderson pull up for the wide open 3?

We've been through this....

[Harison]

RC Buford is the GM.
AFAIK he is a frontman for Pop.

[T_L_P]

AFAIK he is a frontman for Pop.

Not even close.

[KiiiiNG]

That background is so cringe worthy.

Kobe, D-Rose, AI, and Brandon Roy.... :facepalm :facepalm :facepalm

I hate people with shitty basketball taste. Losers.

[Purch]

why give up wide open shots...?
I think the idea was that a Kyle Anderson 3 pointer isn't as good a shot as a wide open David West mid range jumper

[ArbitraryWater]

Yup..

btw, merry christmas TLP and Buda, love you

"A synergy has to form between the owner, whoever his president is, whoever the GM is, whoever the coach is. There’s got to be a synergy where there’s a trust. There (are) no walls. There is no territory. Everything is discussed. Everything is fair game. Criticism is welcome, and when you have that, then you have a hell of an organization. That free flow through all those people is what really makes it work. And that includes everything from draft to Os and Xs. Nothing should be left to one area – only to the president, only to the GM, only to the coach – or the culture just doesn’t form. At least that’s what’s worked for us."

-Gregg Popovich

[Blue&Orange]

AFAIK he is a frontman for Pop.
how about no.

http://grantland.com/features/analyzing-kawhi-leonard-george-hill-trade-2013-conference-finals/

read this and tell me if Kawhi Leonard is a Spurs thanks more to RC Bufford or Popovich.


Hell theres a lot of people behind RC Bufford. Spurs just have a lot of competent people from coaches to scouts.

[rmt]

AFAIK he is a frontman for Pop.

Nope. If it were left to Pop, George Hill would probably still be a Spur (instead of Leonard) - he was one of Pop's favorite players.
