Sadly, I agree. 2013-2014 Danny Green isn't ever coming back, Parker's time is up, LMA just isn't working, and the bench has their moments but are continually put in bad positions because of their starting unit sans Kawhi.

Memphis got off to such a great start. They're throwing it away already.

Marc Gasol and Zach Randolph and Jamychal Green should be able to hurt the Spurs on the inside, but Conley is going to need to be aggressive in this series
For the Spurs' sake I hope this is the last series Parker ever starts. Pop seriously needs to adjust by benching him this post-season. And next year, play Murray waaaay more, the way Parker immediately started but was also heavily criticized and pressured by Pop.

Tony Parker is our starting point guard. Let that sink in.
LMA has been a total bust for us. I was so hype when we got him I thought he was a perfect signing for us. I'd trade him for draft picks at this point.
We will probably get past the grizzlies after all is said and done but that's as far as we will probably go.
Playoff Mike aka the best Grizz player will be aggressive and so will Marc and ZBO. Ain't worried.
Stopping Kawhi without TA tho...yikes

Spurs, especially their bench, seems to show up against the Rockets, tbf. Mills and Ginobili and Parker have all had great games this year against Houston (Parker actually hitting his 3s was what screwed us in game 4, because Beverley was leaving him open, sagging off of him, to play help defense pretty effectively, but then Parker hit something like 3 corner 3s smh)

Tbf, playoff LMA can be counted on for a few MONSTER games every post season
Is David Lee going to be effective against Zbo? That's a funny match up.
EDIT:
I picked them over Houston in 2nd round so... ¯\_(ツ

Sticking to his name once PS starts, no surprises there
I mean, I *want* him to be great. I *want* Toronto to have a great playoff run.
That's awful news. Has this got its own thread?

And that's all you need to succeed in this league lol

He's still a very good defender who can hit 3's. He'd be playing 25 a game for most teams in the NBA.
Lol you can't be serious, especially in the east
if the Celtics or the Raptors draft/trade well they can beat the Cavs
they aren't a monster of a team like GSW

Strained calf. I think Lowe mentioned something like a month, a month and a half. He's out for the full series, and the one he might've been the most important for, tbh
I'd never play a player 25 minutes a game that puts up 7/3 unless I had to. I don't give a shit what kind of D he plays. He's not even a play maker.

Pau has been shooting 3s at a rate above 50%, really boosted post-ASB, when he came off the bench, he hit above 100 3s, and was just under the minimum requirement to take the title of best 3 point shooter in the NBA.
Also, Pau as a 3 pt shooter. Jfc MDA
If the main boon of my team is a suffocating defense that plays the ball denial game, I very much might do exactly that.

I forgot about Jeff Green
I remember when Ainge had the biggest boner for him

But did you see that salmon jacket? I just assumed Tony Allen is in jeans and Timeberlands at all times off the court. Way to go.

If Parsons wasn't injured, Grizzlies lose this series with ease.
Parsons is washed man. He isn't Houston or even Dallas Parsons anymore
Parsons is the sort of player that would let Kawhi and Green abuse him like crazy. Parsons without his knees and with his flat shot vs Kawhi? You want to consider that match-up?

Everyone clowns on the Knicks for the Noah deal and the Lakers for Mozgov, but Parsons low key has the worst contract in the league.

Casey you god damn son of a bitch.
COMPLETELY UNPREPARED for the game.
Just changes and tightens the rotation even though we win because of our depth, and when Lowry plays well, and defense, no other damn reason.
Can't just play a 8 man rotation and expect the team to just magically win without a fucking gameplan.
God fuck you Casey.

Have you seen Parsons this season?
I'm sorry man, he was great in Houston, and looked like he was heading upwards in Dallas when he wasn't injured. But he's washed. He has a flat shot, he's gonna be super-injury prone for the rest of the season, he's not quick enough anymore.
Parsons is done. Had he been who he was in Houston or Dallas when not injured, he would be a great pick-up for kick-starting the Memphis offense and giving them a playmaker. But he's done.
His shot was already super flat before, but his knees being dead means he can't get enough lift to make the shots at all now
Also, Kawhi is a top 6 player already, along with Lebron, Harden, Westbrook, Curry, and Durant. Those six are the ones that, by the strictest definition of super-stars, are definitively super-stars. And Kawhi is only 25. Harden is the next youngest at 27. Kawhi is far closer to AD in age. Kyrie is the same age as him, but he's still not in his prime yet. Kawhi is already a superstar
I'm not sure you've watched that much this year. But Kawhi is deadly in ISO this year, has to produce offensively a bunch for the Spurs, is still the best perimeter defender in the league (especially when he needs to be), has (along with Butler and DeRozan, the other major stars I know that are now doing this) started to draw fouls in a manner similar to Harden, etc. Kawhi is a superstar.
Before, you could argue that he can't just go off, and carry a team on his own. He's done that this year. Maybe he had more help than say, Russ or Harden, but he also has more wins than them.
The best 2 way player in the game, but when people say he's right behind LeBron as far as best player in the NBA, that's overrating him.

From "best two way player in the game" to "not that good" lol
Honestly no, but I know that stat line wasn't good.
If he can't get fully healthy at all, that contract he got is going to be one of the worst in recent memory.
He's the worst top 5ish player in the league bar none.

The entire game he was out coached. I dont get why the fuck he had everyome who guarded Giannis hug him and go over screens. He is a shitty distance shooter. Sag off him. Encourage him to shoot
