Thanks.
The Spurs were in a 2-3 matchup zone there at the end and they were doubling the ball at the top (Saras) with Manu and Sanders. The Spurs aren't moving quickly enough when Saras feeds it over the top to the roll man down the lane. Right in the seam of the zone.
Any thoughts or observations on Granger? I'm very anxious to see him play.
You are not alone... JB was a number 5 pick... he has had horrible injury problems over the last 6 years... he only played 15 games last year... but the kid is the truth... if he stays healthy... look out!Quote:

He is gonna see a lot of minutes... more than you would expect from a 2nd unit rookie... our staff loves him... Artest is calling him a future all-star... he says Granger is the only guy he would give his starting spot up for...Quote:
