Golden State Warriors

	Matt Bonner, PF 24 MIN \| 2-5 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 5 REB \| 1 AST \| 0 STL \| 0 BLK \| 0 TO \| 5 PTS \| +6 You know what, the Red Rocket did alright for himself. He was often times guarding a small forward (Harrison Barnes) who was aggressive from the start, but he hit a couple of key shots, corralled some rebounds and was able to stretch the Warriors defense.
	Tim Duncan, PF 35 MIN \| 5-13 FG \| 2-3 FT \| 13 REB \| 3 AST \| 2 STL \| 0 BLK \| 1 TO \| 12 PTS \| +11 The legs obviously weren’t there on a few of those shot attempts. Having said that, another double-double, another night of making key plays down the stretch. That’s five double-doubles in six games.
	Kawhi Leonard, SF 35 MIN \| 7-11 FG \| 3-3 FT \| 6 REB \| 1 AST \| 1 STL \| 0 BLK \| 0 TO \| 19 PTS \| +9 He wasn’t in superhero mode, but he helped hound Steph Curry, holding him without a three-point field goal for the first time in 75 games.
	Tony Parker, PG 30 MIN \| 11-17 FG \| 4-4 FT \| 1 REB \| 7 AST \| 0 STL \| 0 BLK \| 1 TO \| 28 PTS \| +5 Was awesome all night, particularly in the fourth quarter when he seemed to respond to every run Golden State made.
	Danny Green, SG 26 MIN \| 4-12 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 1 REB \| 1 AST \| 2 STL \| 0 BLK \| 0 TO \| 9 PTS \| +8 He did a lot of guarding Klay Thompson and Klay Thompson did a lot of scoring. He’s also missing shots, but they’re open shots and he’s not being shy about taking them. A lot like Bonner, if he’s being gun shy he’s kind of useless. Keep shooting, Danny. It’ll all work out.
	Aron Baynes, PF 13 MIN \| 2-4 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 2 REB \| 2 AST \| 0 STL \| 0 BLK \| 1 TO \| 4 PTS \| +2 Good production in limited minutes from the Baynger.
	Jeff Ayres, PF 1 MIN \| 0-0 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 0 REB \| 0 AST \| 0 STL \| 0 BLK \| 0 TO \| 0 PTS \| -2
	Boris Diaw, PF 22 MIN \| 3-4 FG \| 1-2 FT \| 6 REB \| 4 AST \| 0 STL \| 0 BLK \| 3 TO \| 8 PTS \| +8 He was kind of passive shooting. He definitely passed up a couple of open shots, which he does from time to time. It’s nothing major, it’s just that you know, he could score more if he wanted to. But yeah, he was mostly his all-around good self.
	Kyle Anderson, SF 7 MIN \| 0-2 FG \| 0-0 FT \| 1 REB \| 0 AST \| 0 STL \| 1 BLK \| 0 TO \| 0 PTS \| -1 At this point, he’s getting effort points. He didn’t do anything wrong this game and that’s pretty much what you ask of him.
	Cory Joseph, PG 20 MIN \| 5-7 FG \| 1-2 FT \| 0 REB \| 4 AST \| 2 STL \| 0 BLK \| 0 TO \| 11 PTS \| +9 The jumper was wet and he did a really good job of making Curry work on defense. You can see the confidence building game by game.
	Manu Ginobili, SG 26 MIN \| 7-17 FG \| 0-1 FT \| 1 REB \| 5 AST \| 2 STL \| 0 BLK \| 2 TO \| 17 PTS \| +12 If we’re getting this kind of Manu Ginobili or the Manu we saw against the Clippers most game then the Spurs will be in good shape this season. He’s shaken off whatever rust he had from the preseason and looked great especially considering it was a back to back.
	Gregg Popovich I’m just happy he let everyone play.

Gotta say, I’m really enjoying seeing the evolution of CJ’s game, as he becomes more confident.

By the time Patty comes back, Cory will have a solid grasp on what he needs to do each game.
Three PGs—each having their own style, but capable of fulfilling their role on the floor.
It’s going to be nice come next spring.
brunostrange

Yeah, it sure will. I’m not sure it’ll last past this season, though. CJ will likely make a valuable trading asset for SA, as it prepares for a post Timmy/Manu future.

Just my opinion, but I feel ‘El Conclusion’ should eliminate grading a player when his appearance is just a cameo to finish out the last minute or two in a game whose outcome has been decided.
It only going to be an ‘INC’ always—telling fans nothing —because there was nothing to tell.

Guys no A+ for Leonard..come on man!! Aslo Danny did not shoot well but was good on the glass and made Clay work for those points.. a C at least. That said great back to back wins vs. 2 contenders. Hope for no let down. Go Spurs!
Rob

I agree CJ’s game is pretty good but man you guys like to cum all over Cory…
