So, I'm watching the game last night. I'm seeing some good stuff happening out there...especially from our 2 centers.
Seems Rasho was blocking shots like a madman...and dunking!?! Then Nazr comes in...and he's like a monster out there. Tip-ins, blocks...and as active as I've ever seen him.
It's like, our 2 centers were both having their best games of the season...on the same night! I'm like pumped, right? We're scoring, blocking, getting a huge lead...the world is spinning in greased grooves.
I'm thinkin', it's gonna be one of those nights. And my girlfriend is getting all excited... cuz I'm usually pretty frisky after a great Spurs performance. Things are looking good, and I'm struttin' around the house yelling "that's what I'm talking about!"... cuz I always sound cool when I say that.
Then the 4th quarter comes around.
All a sudden I see Minnesota driving, getting layups, rebounds, getting inside...and I think "man, and they were doing such a good job blocking shots and intimidating Minnesota's inside game, what the hell happened!?"
Then I notice...we don't have any of our Centers in the game.
Now, these guys were having great nights. Mebbe on their way to the best games of the season...for both. Then *Poof*, they were gone.
For like the whole fourth quarter, I'm waiting for Pop to put in some of our big men to clog up the inside, get some rebounds, intimidate, and just generally do what they had been doing all night. But, no... Timmy was left to do it all.
All a sudden, one of the best performances of the season...becomes a dogfight. Guys like Barry were forced to try and close up the inside game and get rebounds and blocks.
Barry?
Don't we have Center's? And weren't these Centers having a dream Center's night? Why were they benched?
I just don't understand!
And my girlfriends pretty pissed too.!
