He wouldn't have to guard Udoka either - Udoka isn't any better offensively than Bowen. And Bowen has been pretty good offensively in the series. But Udoka could be the main sub for Bowen/Manu/Barry. I don't want to see Finley at all, except cheering on the bench.Quote:

Is you start the game normally, and if Oberto and Horry aren't cutting it, you go small.
Apologies if thats not what you meant Kori.
Yeah I agree. Finley should be Steve Smithed.Quote:

I think Odom and Gasol would combine for 60 points and 30 boards if you ran with that lineup.

I agree otherwise we play catch up all night. It's elimination, nothing to lose.Quote:

Ghost wants more offense so he subs out a guy who is shooting 52% in the series for a guy shooting 35% in the series. Ginobili is limited so Ghost sticks him on Kobe all game.
Amazing,
Exactly.Quote:

cmon guys, the lakers are not a puzzle we cant figure out. we defend very well against them,the only thing thats killing us is FATIGUE and poor shooting.
all we need is a boost from someone else besides the big 3. Barry stepped up in game 4 but Gino was no where to be found. we just need to stick to our plan as always and wait till our shots fall in.
You can't always wait til your shots fall. By running, you get more possessions and more chances to score. Increasing your opportunities to outscore them.Quote:

The spurs need to hit many 3 pt. shots. Thats the way the team was built. They were not built to run like hell. Most of the team could not hang long enough if they even tried that.
Trying to run against a younger, quicker more athletic team doesn't make any sense.
Sticking to the game plan is what lost game 4.Quote:

Otherwise I say we just stick to our guns... with more Barry, and little to no Finley. We gotta remember that our game plan for the most part has worked out with the exception being that Manu absolutely vanished in games 1 and 3. I expect him to show up tonight... and if he does, we win with our basic original game plan and a little extra barry. However, if Manu doesn't show up, it really doesn't matter what we do, we're toast anyway.

our terrible rebounding, and the absence of Manu is what lost game 4.Quote:

I think "Udoku" is more annoying than spelling "Elliott" with two T's.
Timvp, can you make it say something funny, like "Nash is my Homeboy"?
Oberto is averaging 3 rebounds in this series.
I think Barry could probably get 3 ;)
I think I could get 3 honestly.
