Yes, Tony is coming. The Spurs had to find a game that fell in between Charlotte's games.
Gig 'em Aggies!

They have been more consistent, Demar is playing good, so are role payers, defense, and helps that they are playing at home.

Hope they can continue to play like this on the road. They have looked like two different teams when at home and on the road.

They've also been playing much better team defense. Demar is playing better defense. They were deflecting passes and getting in the passing lanes more often against the Warriors. Plus they also seem to be attacking the basket more. Poeltl is actually playing very well as a starter which allows Rudy to come off the bench which gives them alot of offense off the bench. It really seems like they are finally coming together at the right time.

Having said all that, you're right. The key is if they can finally get something going on the road against good teams.

Also, the Spurs need to go 8-3 over the last 11 games to get to 50 wins. I wouldn't bet against it.

"Meanwhile, with White matching up against the opponent's top perimeter threat on most nights, San Antonio's defense has been 4.0 points per 100 possessions better with him on the floor. As of games through Monday night, the 6-foot-4 White ranks No. 1 in the NBA among guards in contested shots per game (9.5), and he averages 1.6 blocks per game since Feb. 26."

Heat playing like a team fighting for the playoffs. Spurs, the opposite of that.

Spurs are so stifled against a zone defense.

Heat shooting over 50% from 3 despite being the worst shooting team in the league coming in.

Hard to win a basketball game when you only come out for one quarter. Good win for the heat.

Yup, played good in the fourth and not so much the first three quarters. Felt like a trap game and it was.

Spurs didn't come out strong and the Heat were making everything the first half. Also, Spurs couldn't buy a shot or make stops at times.

I don't know why almost every opponent seems to shoot the three great against us which Miami did.

Probably because we have one of the worst three point defenses in the league.

I don't how many times this season I have seen Demar get hacked down low in front of the refs and get a no call.
Enzo The Baker

He got fouled but it was after DeRozan lost the ball on his own I think. It was kind of a weird one to call.

DeMar is definitely a shaky ball handler down the stretch though.

Yeah, I get nervous when he has the ball in the final seconds.

5th-8th are all tied with a record of 42-30. It's going to be a crazy last 10 games.

Rudy gay is just not a smart defender. He's so frustrating to watch.

Bertans has hurt us lately. Missing so man freaking open shots.

Terrible undisciplined defense in the first half. Gave up 19 FTs. Wide open shots missed. Lucky to only be down 15 honestly.

All square at the 4th.

Bertans is 1-8. Wide open looks. And we are making a lot of unforced mistakes. Frustrating.

Yeah, Bertans has had some good looks.

Lol. Bogus call. Most definitely not an offensive foul. If anything that's a foul on harden for being in his space. Officiating has been fine. But that's complete BS.
Enzo The Baker

Yup. That was a 5 point swing. Gay is worhtless.

Refs did steal that one from the spurs tonight on one call. Instead of going up 8 we are up 3. **** harden. He's a *****.
Enzo The Baker

Good effort tonight. Even with that terrible call we made a lot of mistakes before and after. Very poor 3 point shooting tonight too. Give me the rockets in the playoffs. I want to beat that team so badly.

Surprise they made it a game and took the lead. Had their shot but. Can't wait until Murray comes back to run the point. The ball in Derozan hands is inconsistent late.
