Is he retiring at end of the season?
>>66287157
probably
>>66287192
no way. Old Man Riverwalk has ten more years in him.
I'm actually gunna be really upset when Duncan and Dirk retire. They just seem like the greatest dudes ever, classic bigs. League will be weird without them.

blasphemy, just pure blasphemy

warriors went small ball
pop adjusted. they spurs won
kerr will readjust in the playoffs and pop will use duncan accordingly. he can't go small ball every game
duncan gets rest, spurs get their win, pop downloaded more data from the memes and kerr, memes got the spurs in their head now.
Pop is a quantum physicists among preschoolers. Amazing to watch family

>warriors went small ball
this. breddy obvious bantz thread but kiddos will take it seriously.
the real takeaway here is kerr decided to go for small ball SAS kryptonite from the 1st quarter, meaning he wanted to win but still got shutdown. their lineup of death meme, supposed to be trump card in this match-up isn't that deadly after all.

the warriors will always go meme ball when in doubt
if the spurs need steph and klay to shoot this awfully for them to eek out a home court win then the warriors will take those odds every time.
>>66290666
if shooters need to have suffocating wing defenders for them to keep their confidence then spurs will take those odds every time as well.
how many points in the paint did the spurs allow curry again?
>>66289624
except the "lineup of death" (terrible name desu) includes Iggy
>>66291476
league names it to appeal to kids. it's just a fastbreak after a long rebound. the only "skill" it needs is above-average lobbing. Macadoo has the same length and legs as Iggy to be virtually interchangeable in a fastbreak.

the warriors were also unironically playing anderson varejao and brandon rush with 7 minutes to go in the 4th quarter of a tied game
the warriors basically threw this game just as the spurs did their last meeting the only difference is the warriors barely lost whereas the spurs got BTFO and conceded halfway through the second quarter
>>66293564
Rush was the first pick Iggy sub and someone had to guard LMA and get half-hearted rebounds, which are more valuable in a close game.
Do you even watch your team? Kerr uses the small ball lineup of death 3-4 minutes at the end of each quarter to build leads, sacrificing rebounds for treys and high% 3v2 and 2v1s. Since that obviously did not work in this game, Kerr had no choice but to play SAS game and put a body on LMA.
