Just came here to say, Serge closing games over JV whether it's a small ball 5 or not needs to never happen again. It worked against a shit team like Cleveland but put him in over JV against Horford because Horford's a small ball C and trust we lose to Boston. The team just runs A LOT better with JV at the 5 offensively and defensively. Serge should truly only be playing against bench C's.

Yea. Really heavy minutes for Leonard and I didn't check but I think for Lowry too. Hope that Nurse watches this and rests the guys a bit more. Maybe a first-night coaching oversight. I hope.Ebonhawke wrote: View Post
But yea. Really we got to save some for the good teams, e.g. Boston and a back-to-back coming up.Comment

I'm sorry, as a longtime Spurs fan, it's just sickening to watch Kawhi Leonard play and play hard for Toronto. He quit on the classiest organization in the NBA when the Spurs had a chance to contend. Let's see how he does as the pressure mounts. Now, HE the North.

Raps got out rebounded (with Ibaka getting 9 more minutes on the floor than JV) and beaten in both FT and FT% .... that shouldn't happen. Take the W and get ready for the CelticsComment

So far not too impressed with Nurse coaching. Obviously just 1 game, but there were things I didn't like.KHD wrote: View Post
Obviously I don't like Ibaka getting as much burn as he did. He provided no positives over JV tonight. The team ran better on both ends with JV in the game, and we had control of the pace for most of those minutes.
But worse, Nurse was reactive, choosing his rotation based on what the other team did. Can anyone think of a championship team ever utilizing that strategy? I can't. You find a way to use your best players and develop your identity around that.
Finally, the thing I really don't like about Ibaka at C is it puts a lot of pressure on our ballhandlers to create a lot for themselves. He doesn't set great screens, and teams will give him space to cheat and clog the lane. He can shoot, but he's not consistent and teams would probably rather gamble on him having a bad night than giving space to our ballhandlers. You would think a supposedly innovative, smart coach would see this quickly and make some kind of adjustment, but he was left with few options other than to extend the minutes of his stars so that Leonard and Lowry were needed far too much in this game. If you have all this depth and you still have to play your top 2 guys 35+ minutes to beat a much worse team when you had a 20pt lead in the 3rd, you're doing something wrong.
Anyway, I will give Nurse a couple of months and see how things evolve, but I think tonight there was a bit too much I didn't like.Last edited by white men can't jump; Wed Oct 17, 2018, 10:40 PM.Comment

Don't give Skip Bayless attention. That's all he wants. Listen to Paul Anka
