    It's obvious that McFail and Co. told the team that Harden will be playing ISO ball tonight, and put Lin a crappy mood, since he's been one of the top 10 PGs in the league for the past month and a half.

    Yeah we did the game where we were shooting like 29% or something we still beat them. Idk the exact percent but i think it was around 30 or so

    The knee jerking tonight is quite impressive.

    This is the Spurs... and they aren't push overs. Their defense has actually been very good. They're doing a lot of small things, like Ginobli angling on Harden's left side to force a right side drive, and shade/hedging on the PnR or playing up tight on Lin to try to force him to pass out before he can initiate a play.

    The Spurs are no joke, on either end of the floor. Notice how they leave Beverley mostly unmolested... it's because they know who the real threats on the Team are... Harden, Lin, Parsons and Asik.

    If the Spurs take 1/4 out of the game, they know the rest of the team will be in a tough position.

    Fans see the end result, but Pops isn't the best coach in the NBA by accident. He knows where to focus on the defense, and where to focus on the offense. They didn't win 50+ games for 14 seasons by accident.

    As fans we mostly just see the end results. If it's close or we win, that's a win for this team.

    Did anyone realistically think that we were going to be favorites against the Spurs tonight? It's not like we're playing against the Bobcats...

    What has to stop are posts like this. Are you actually watching the game? Beverley has been terrific. Harden is struggling, but impacting the game. Lin? He'll get it together the second half, or he won't. It's one game. All I care about is getting a win.

    You're coming off like a child here. "..but bbbut whaaat abbout him..!!!"

    Harden is getting defended by the whole team every time he drives in. He's not hitting but he drew FTs and hitting timely 3s so he IS generating points. God you're annoying.

    Lin has only taken one shot and that was a contested three at the end of the shot clock. He needs to play PG in the second half and harden needs to come off screens and get looks cuz right now theyre shutting him down as a ball handler trying to create a shot

    DMO is Channing Frye 2.0 if he's lucky, and thats the truth

    these dmo only fans cant see the game objectively, if they did they would see that DMo is a subpar 3 point, and FT shooter, he also struggles on defense. They wanna trash Trob and his shooting( which he is working hard at), but wont even look at the numbers on the season for their boy DMo. Remmeber its easy to score when you have Harden on the court who give you wide open layups from double teams

    I'd like to see our starters being more aggressive in the second half.
    Also Harden please stop the isoball for 18 seconds than pass to a covered teammate with 5 seconds left. I'm okay with his scoring output right now though.
    Bench is playing good. Hope they can keep that up.
