Spurs (1-1) at Celtics (1-1) Game #3 11/1/15

[Who]

I'd like to see Jerebko + Amir start.

Smart needs to see the floor more with it.

[PhoSita]

Bradley + Thomas is depressingly small backcourt defensively.

Any switch and they are dead in the water on D.

Yup.  Bradley and Thomas can't really play together, and Thomas and Turner can't really play together.

That's a good example of how the team's "depth" is kind of an illusion in some ways.  Some of these guys can't really play together.

If Smart doesn't go beast mode soon, that first unit will kill us all year.

It's early in the season but I'm feeling like the odd big man out needs to be Lee for a while.  Even if we're showcasing him for a trade this can't be helping much.

[esel1000]

Man, didn't these guys get an extra hour of sleep?  This is brutal.

Both teams have been bad, but I'm growing disappointed by the minute with a few guys on this team that I thought would be a lot better, namely Lee and Zeller...

AB can play with IT4. AB is a decent shooter for kickouts. ET not so much.

I'm lost on the interest and detmination to play that scrub Turner.......he doesn't even belong in the NBA ....

He needs to start getting to the rim... at least try he's been too passive on the offensive side

[jpotter33]

Alright, I'm officially saying this should be our rotation from now on.

PG: IT, Turner
SG: Smart, Bradley
SF: Crowder, JJ
PF: Sully/KO
C: Amir, Zeller/Lee

We have to get more offense in the first lineup, and putting IT there lets Turner run the ball-handling in the 2nd unit and lets Bradley be the main scorer against second units.

[Who]

I REALLY don't like LMA on this Spurs team. That fit really doesn't seem to be there.

I am a skeptic. I don't think it is going to be a good marriage. LMA's style of play quite different to what SAS has been doing over the last few years. Needs a lot of touches which detracts from the stellar job Duncan does as a high post facilitator to that high octane offense. They are going to lose something somewhere. Something very valuable. A good chunk of those positives are going to come at the expense of somebody else.

[SHAQATTACK]

Wow we look like a lottery team

Was thinking the same. Maybe his 28 percent start to season got to him and he's trying to let the offense come to him.

[PhoSita]

The shot selection has really broken down here.  Good shots weren't going in and now we've devolved into taking a lot of long twos.

Not a good look for the Celts.

[esel1000]

Turner wth..
