Bowen still guards Allen.
Manu on Rashard.
I am talking about Allen on DEFENSE...
Have to make Allen work on defense...look what ahppens when he does not have to play defense ...he torched Sacto.

No . If you want Allen to be worn out physically and limited on offense then you want Bowen on him.
That's what happens when you don't have an all-NBA 1st Team Defense member to shut his ass down.Have to make Allen work on defense...look what ahppens when he does not have to play defense ...he torched Sacto.
And again, if you have Manu or Barry on the court then you are forced to put them on Allen and Bowen on Lewis. So you take your best perimeter defender, the best perimeter defender in the NBA and put him on your opponent's 2nd option.
Redneck dumb.
I highly doubt Pop will start Glenn on Rashard but he will definitely try him in spot minutes against him and see how it goes. If he does really well, it's not out of the question that he moves Barry to the bench but GRob would have to do a really good job.
Personally, I think GRob might slow Lewis down a bit but Lewis is fast enough to blow by him on most occasions imo. As has been said before, stopping Allen is key so you have to put Bowen on him. You stop Allen and you stop the Sonics.
Lewis and Radmanovic are going to be our toughest covers other than Allen this series, no doubt. It's really too bad LJIII never had a chance this season.
Do you understand the words coming out of my mouth???

I think CIA Pop has held Devin Brown out as his secret weapon for Seattle...it didn't look like there was anything wrong with his lift in that three minutes he played in that second game...he practically snatched a defensive rebound off the top of the backboard...
good point, Devin can help on Ray when Bowen is on bench.
Manu Ginobili cannot guard Lewis. that. I'd much rather see Lewis trying to shoot over a bigger defender than being able to take his man into the post.
How many minutes do you realistically think Dog can play against Seattle? If it's 39 per game, starting him as a Shard matchup may have some validity. Otherwise I just don't see it, especially seeing how foul prone he is. Keep him for later, let him play in the third and fourth without worrying about fouling out at the 10 minute mark in the fourth.
It will be a matchup war. Who will match up with Rashard? Who will match up on Manu?
Glenn hates Ray Allen. I don't know if he should start, but he'll definitely see some revenge minutes in this series.
I think if you start the big dog, you make sure Lewis is guarding him on the offensive end, and you go at it him in the post, upfake, get him off his feet, get him into foul trouble, get Radmonovic in there, and then bring in Robert Horry.
It wouldnt be out of the realm of possibility to see Horry Mohammed Duncan out there as the front line at times.
Kori, now that you say that.
Robinson faces an old coach that he hates, now he faces an old teammate that he hates.
If the Spurs win this round, whats next, an old trainer?
Put Bowen, Robinson, Nazr, Duncan and Parker on the floor and Seattle will full court press against the Spurs single ball handler. I'll bet all the vBucks remainig that Manu will be on Lewis with double teaming if he tries to post up.
According to the guys at TNT Ray has pissed off a lot of people.
For what it's worth, that's pretty much what Charles Barkley and Kenny Smith said last night on TNT after the game. We have to make Allen work his ass of on defense. Start Manu and Bowen.
Damn, I'd almost forgot about that! Big Dog will be out to crack some skulls and will probably find himself on a shooting streak.
As much as it pains me to say this...Jim is right. The Spurs should put Manu on Lewis and Bowen on Allen.
Stojakovic played Lewis well. If Peja can handle Rashard Manu shouldn't be overwhelmed.
sorry whottt, i wanted to talk more but the reason i was up so late was that i was studyin for a damned test
but i kind of agree and kind of disagree....Sometimes when barry is out there he just gives a quick touch pass that leads to 3 or 4 other passes without him touching the ball again
that does happen alot too
and yeah very true, bigdogg doesnt have to start to guard rashard...
just like manu doesnt have to start to ruin an entire team
Manu isn't going to start. Book it.
Pop sees how much sense it makes bringing Manu off the bench. At worst, he'll start Barry and just pray he can handle Lewis.
jesus h christ no
worst ing idea you have ever had.
fat dog is beyond useless
I said at the time of the trade that I thought it was a good trade but I wanted to see if Nazr could figure out the Spurs system or whether he'd be another Knick bust. You, on the other hand, have gone SpursGal on Nazr and have been swinging from his nvts since the trade went down. He does no wrong in your eyes ... as evident by your daily threads about him.You mean like saying the Nazr-Rose trade was a bad one?
The funny thing is someone won a bet with you regarding him and you've been pretty mum on that subject each time I bring it up.
Interesting.
Manu can guard Lewis, no doubt about it.
BTW, have you see who is behing Manu in the paint if Lewis tries to post him up?
You have TD and Nazr in there too you know.
Manu is the 2nd best defender on the perimeter, he needs to be on their 2nd best offensive threat.
It shouldn't be too hard for Lewis to post up Manu and go up with it before a big can close.
