RJ still has the ability to be the X factor in any playoff series.
He showed up in what 3 games, I'm sure there is more to come, and without his 17 first half points in game 2 we possibly wouldn't have got the edge over Mavs that was a major part of the series.
Back our boys Spurs fans we've got the team to go all the way bring it.
Go Spurs Go!
Marion's MO has been know for some time IMHO. He is a great transition/fast break player who has some serious hops. He still has one of the quickest second jumps around the rim on missed shots and can get rebounds against almost anyone.
Having said that he is a dismal failure when forced to play in a half court game. There was a reason that he sat on the bench at crucial times against the Spurs and why the Suns moved him. Once the Spurs slowed it down to the half court he became ineffective.
Marion wont change and learn the half court game. He really doesn't have the body to play down low and needs to use his speed and hops to br effective. And so far he doesn't seem to be mentally tough, either. He also needs a playmaker to thrive since I'm not impressed with his ability to create on his own. Just MHO.
I thought jefferson played well and defended about as good as we could hope for. He will never be worth the money, but he was a nice player in this series.
