Maybe something to do with having Sunday and today off?

How much do you dislike Tom Thibodeau? Every game you find something to complain about.

The swift emotional decline of JTM sure is something.

Updated.

I guess if you don’t believe in continuity as a relevant consideration this would be worrisome. But if you do believe it matters, the fact that last year we had a team with high levels of continuity and this year we’re integrating a ton of new pieces leads me to believe this will get better.

That’s a very confusing response. When people talk about continuity you believe they’re talking solely about coaches?

Not sure why you came to that conclusion but no i do not.

It's amazing that the Spurs continue to be good. Their players all suck!

we cool

Some Bjelly related thoughts:

1) He's ballin this year. I wonder if he gets a gigantic contract this offseason

2) I love the roll-rise action we run a ton of when KAT and Bjelly are in together. Like watching Rick Adelman's team again

3) Bjelly appears to not be a stupid player for the first time ever. Previously he made 2 dumb plays for every smart one, but was still considered "a high IQ player" for SOME (obvious) reason.

OKAY!! We're using Towns properly this game!

4x already (late 2nd quarter, Tyus 3x and Teague once) the point guard has thrown a pocket pass to Towns at the elbow, letting him attack downhill. THAT's what he's super special at. This is good.

Great first half!! Shabazz and Bjelly came off the bench to turn the momentum around.

Wiggins is doing a great job on the glass but he's rarely the guy pulling down the rebound because his hands are so bad.

We smoked the Spurs by 12 and two of our top 3 scorers shot terribly.

This was probably the best win we've had all season. Except for a shot stretch during the 1st quarter, I wasnt yelling about us taking bad shots and not rotating defensively.

We played similar to this game in the 1st quarter vs GS. If we can start doing this for full games, this team could be great.

Thats the beauty of playing defense ,it allows you to overcome guys having off nights.

I know that the Spurs haven't been good this year on offense but holding a team below a 100 ORtg is nice to see.

Saw the half time score and thought thats the Wolves I know beating the Spurs and then getting beaten by a ****ty Mavs team. A nice change for this not to happen
