Sure DET has a lot to do with Manu's past 2 performances (or lack there of) but what can Pop do (adjustments) to get manu more touches?
They've taken Manu away which has taken away 1/2 of our scoring.
Our DEF hasn't been the best on transition. Manu has to get going & attack more. It's obvious DET is going to stick to their formula (which the Fakerz used after 2 games last yr on us) to crowd the middle & pick-n-roll & force us to beat them on the perimeter.
Det made some lucky tough shots with solid DEF by us which i think kind of discouraged the Spurs. Our DEF hasn't been terrible for 48 mins, we've had stretches where we've caused 24 sec violations or deflected shots, but DET would always seem to get the REB & get 2nd chance shots & scores. Seems like TD only one REB, DET is crashing the boards on both sides, we have to take advantage of that & dart to the other side for quick scores like Games 1 & 2.
TD has to be more aggressive down low from the get go & draw fouls, only way to counteract DET being physical & getting away with hacks. TP has to continue to attack the paint like he did all by his lonesome self in Game 3, can't stop being aggressive.
