And in a game Timmy's aggressiveness seemed to have him putting up the ball like he was hoping for a foul for it to magically land in the rim, so I don't think he had a good game either. But one I do know is that all three of them wanted to win this game, they played hard, which bothers me when Jefferson takes plays off and Blair can't finish a lay up. And I still think that McDyess doesn't want to be here.

I've heard you say it numerous times now that McDyess doesn't want to be here. Where are you getting that from?

body language look at the guy and especially when Manu throws him a pass he always has that look like WTF don't give me the ball dude. this is a guy who can still lay some wood on people in the paint, but since he got here he's been very passive, I may be wrong, but I doubt it.

Aside from playing heavier mins, having to guard PF''s and and SF's wouldn't help Manu's cause in trying to conserve energy.

Good point.

Good thing Finley's coming back to take on the PFs of the league, at least it will give Manu a break.

For all of Finley's faults, during small-ball he does good job of holding position when backed down.

It means historically these two teams don't score a lot against each other. Strange that both scored 100+.

We aren't going anywhere this year and neither are the Spurs. :depressed
