We need to think of better/newer excuses lol..
It's a moral victory
It's all part of CIA Pop's secret plans
It's all Brent Barry's fault

No, 0-4 FG in the second half
Did any one notice when Parker and Beno played at the same time the offense struggled.
BTW great game by Beno he has SKILLZ!
True for the first past...
good game by beno but....mm is he really PG?
How do you know his groin was not bothering him it's easy to judge from the confort of your sofa.
Tony seems to run out of gas in the second half of games. He can play like an all-star in the first half and then somehow disappear in the second half.
I don't think its conditioning but maybe he just isn't strong enough to go hard the whole game. He looks awfully small and frail out there sometimes.
You know by the way he moved, hustled, and the stats.
He had good stats, he moved fine, played good D, and it didn't look like it was bothering him enough.
Yes, it probably WAS bothering him, but not nearly enough to keep him from playing.
You realize how easily groin injuries are re-aggravated, right?Yes, it probably WAS bothering him, but not nearly enough to keep him from playing.
The Spurs training and coaching staff are very smart to limit Manu's minutes until he's completely healthy. Let him ease back in.
Or do you not care if he is hurt in the playoffs?
Pop stuck to his guns and didn't give Manu very many minutes. Very disciplined in sticking with his pre-game plans.
The mistake that was made by Pop was trying to make the TP & Beno backcourt work without Gino or Barry. It didn't work at the end of the 2nd quarter when the Pistons went on the 10-2 run. It didn't work...again....at the end of the 4th quarter.
The Spurs got within 2 without TP and were in a flow. TP comes in and the flow changed.
Props to the Pistons. They shot and played lights-out. They really seemed to take advantage of the Spurs man-to-man defensive help scheme. Lift everyone and let Chauncey go one on one, where help comes late. Isolate Tayshaun on the baseline with both bigs lifted, where he can post up and go baseline so quickly that
smaller help players can't get to his shots.
If the Pistons shoot like that thorughout the playoffs, they repeat.
I will give props to the Pistons who are a damm good team and probably will come out of East, but saw nothing that a healthy Duncan would not take care of in a 7 game series and a Manu in the 4th.
