Re: It's time for another hip check
I think I might have to take a break from Spurstalk because reading shit like this is just stupifying. I don't understand how people can be so bipolar with this team. Basketball is a game of adjustments and momentum. We're tied, and things have no where to go but up in terms of our play. Calm the fuckdown.
Re: It's time for another hip check
The Spurs don't have any player like an Horry or a Bowen unfortunately. From an attitude standpoint the Spurs are soft. I love the toughness of the Chicago Bulls and players like Noah and Robinson who never back down and are not afraid to commit the hard foul.
Re: It's time for another hip check
It doesnt need to be dirty one bit. Truth is tho, Curry's weakness is responding to physicality. He's that fines player thats fun to watch and can get hot from anywhere in the gym. He hates getting dominated phsyically though. More importantly he doesnt know how to handle it. Really think thats what we need to do to take him out of his game. These guys are a 6 seed for a reason. There are plenty of weaknesses to attack and I think this one is getting overlooked. You dont need to take cheap shots, but you cant let him get his shot off so damn easy either.
Lets go Spurs fans. It aint supposed to be easy. Every series is split right now. Its the playoffs. Enjoy the show and believe in your team! Go Spurs Go!
Re: It's time for another hip check
a Spurs gut check and upgrade would be more useful
Re: It's time for another hip check
Spurs don't need to become dirty and try to hurt people.
They just need to play physical, its PO time. The layup fest needs to come to an end, if they want layup the shit out of us, they have to realize we will fool hard.

How quickly we forget Matt Bonner and Aaron Baynes getting physical with the black Kevin Love and his folding like a tent.

For one, we actually need someone close enough to Curry or Thompson on jumpshots to actually contest them. Then all they need to do is lunge in underneathe their feet while they are contesting the shot. Not trying to injure them, but making sure they're aware and a bit scared every time they go up to shoot. That alone will fuck their shot. Up if it gets in their head. Bowen fucked Ray Allen royally in 2005 doing that
Re: It's time for another hip check
if everyone stays at home and keeps a hand up we'll do a lot better.. running at them from the block or the key isn't going to stop them from hitting shots. Hate that shitty help defense. Help defense with undersized role players helps you lose. Danny Green did a decent job so far but he still lurks in the paint from time to time. Gary Neal always fucks up an assignment.
Re: It's time for another hip check
the problem is that Blair would be tweeting about it in the locker room after his ejection and throw Pop under the bus for it
