The Spurs offense was in peak 2001'ish form.
Go to the post. Force a shot. Look at the refs in awe when Rasheed/Chauncy/Ben/Lindsey slaps your arm and starts a fast break. Hang your head in the 4th.
If we could actually complete a pass without it being stolen, thanks to the great "physical" play on our passers, maybe we could think about swinging the ball, running some motion, and perhaps, scoring.
Can we come back from this??

In game 3 it was Barry, tonight he was fumbling away turnovers and shooting bricks. Give someone else a shot.
I thought giving up on a guy after a few minutes, was NOT the right thing to do.....
Thats what I heard back in December against Orlando.
I don't usually jump in "venting" threads...i'm more of an article and analysis reader...
...but I had to come in and say, Sequ:
That was excellent use of the word "bullshittest".
Three pointers aren't the answer. There were three guys camped out past the 3pt line last night. Jumpshooting teams never win in the playoffs.
The problem is that the Spurs aren't moving without the ball, and what they have done has been ineffective. They need to start setting screens on top of screens on top of screens to get open closer to the basket for a high-percentage shot. Period. It can be done. Detroit has been confused by a lot of movement. And not just the guards - Nazr & Timmy staying put doesn't help any & they're going to have to move around a lot more.
The spurs aren't going to run on Detroit, but they can damn sure make Detroit runs all over the court. Detroit is doing that, we aren't. We have fast guys, let's frickin' use 'em.
No spur has hit the court going after a loose ball, either. Brent Barry, Robert Horry - these balls belong to you. Go get 'em.
At least you didn't pull a Tpark.
So you wonder what p_p needs to tell the players after game 4 ?Quote:

Overall, I think the pressure is on Detroit on Sunday. If they don't win, all that happened the last two games will be a distant memory as they take their flight down to SA to an SBC Center that will be electric for a title. The Palace has it's Championship Aura but so does the SBC Center.
I have always found some faults in Rasho's game in the past, but after Nazr's recent play, I think Rasho would be a better defensive player and get 7 or 8 rebounds. I think Rasho should play serious minutes next game. Nazr has that not-ready-for-prime-time look. And maybe the Spurs could run some offense through rasho if Tim is attracting all the bigs' attention.
Rasho is a stiff, period.
