GS finally got s taste of what it is like to always play from behind.
We definitely played some D tonight. Very impressive defense.
The media has buried the Spurs for years.

And to play a game when their players aren't tripling their points per game avg.!
Whoop!
G'night
G'night
Energy looked much better tonight, as did the execution. Didn't feel like pulling my hair out the entire game
All Duncan wants to do is win. Guy is incredible.

Still had a lot of very dumb turnovers. Need the bench to step up.
Why didn't they show the decibel meter at the end when all those great fans abandoned the warriors?
Splitter and Manu tried their hardest to lose that game. Splitter was asleep on defense and had some really weird turnovers, Manu had stupid turnovers and went 1-8 on threes.
Leonard (15 and 9 on 5-7 plus good defense) and Green (virtually no stats but great defense) continue to be outstanding. Diaw also turned in a nice game, I think he needs a few more minutes. He owns Draymond Green on both ends, and has more rhythm than Tiago right now.

That decibel meter after every made basket was bush league.
Ridiculous.
Ridiculous.
Oh, and how about this stat line. 23 points, 10 rebounds, 3 assists, a steal, and two blocks. 48% from the field, 3-3 from the line. Put Bogut, Landry, and Ezeli in foul trouble in spite of several egregious no calls and bad calls. Not bad for a 37 year old.
Kawhi has been interesting. He is playing great defense and rebounding well, but he does not seem confident in his shooting. Needs to make his free throws too.
Kawhi just doesn't take many shots. The vets need to tell him to take it to the hoop. I see him on set plays waiting to make the pass when he could drive to the basket.
Great win tonight. I wasn't able to watch, but every indication is that Greeb conifnued his excellent defense on Curry (just like game 2). It's nice to see Parker's stat line look like midseason form again. Duncan is incredible. Lets take game 4!
The decibel meter was a throw back to the '80s version of the time clock...horribly done..
Name that player by his rankings among Spurs in the series:
Scoring: 3rd
FG% - more than 10 attempts: 1st
Rebounding: 1st-T
Offensive rebounding: 1st (averaging 4.3 per game!)
Steals: 2nd
Blocks: 1st
Assists: 3rd
That's Kawhi Leonard.
Scoring: 3rd
FG% - more than 10 attempts: 1st
Rebounding: 1st-T
Offensive rebounding: 1st (averaging 4.3 per game!)
Steals: 2nd
Blocks: 1st
Assists: 3rd
That's Kawhi Leonard.
Was nice to see SPURS BASKETBALL.
So glad to see the Spurs finally play well and shoot the ball with confidence
Parker was amazing, with shooting and driving to the basket
Duncan with 23 and 10, the guy just never ceases to amaze me from his still great post play to being the leader and talking to the young guys
Leonard with his continued hustle plays and great D and making that corner 3 will help his confidence
Diaw and green with great games also
MANU and SPLITTER need to step it up, especially Manu
His lack of shooting and making open 3s is killing us (turnovers too)
Hope he finds it in game 4
Lets get it to 3-1!!! GSG!!!

Look what happened when GD doesn't shoot 50% from the field and the Spurs do.

Wouldn't this probably be the case for any series?
It's crazy what making a few wide open shots does for you.

Word is that Tony's leg is pretty bad and that he's going to have a hard time getting through the playoffs if we get past GS.
Word from where?
What exactly is the injury?

All i've seen:

#Spurs PG Tony Parker says "I'll definitely play" in Game 4 despite bruised left calf.
Hopefully we can win Sunday and close this out in 5 back at home. The WCF will start the 21st so if we can close this out in 5 that will give us a week to rest.
Apparently Tony has a big bruise on the calf which I'm sure is painful but it will get better.
Looks like Tony and Curry both will be a bit hobbled tomorrow.

Tony Parker said it "feels like a baseball" is in his bruised left calf but he'll "definitely" play

Pop on Tony Parker: "He'll play."
This 24 hour turnaround is gonna be rough.
Spurs practice:

Friend of a friend who's related to the team doctor. I guess he will just tough it out.
