Be more specific on #2.
1. Have them play a game the night before.
2. Be Pop's buddy.
I though Bob Hill was Pop's bestest buddy.![]()
Hit a high percentage from 3 pt range. That's it!
3. Bore them with the regular season.
As an aside, it's great to see Nellie-ball back in the NBA again. I enjoyed watching the Warriors last night.
The seven man rotation, run and gun, matchup style will jump up and bite some teams early in the year, but you can bet that it's effectiveness will flatten as the season gets older and the NBA adjusts again.
Nellie continues to make his mark as a great coach for resurrecting crappy teams and bringing a buzz back to the city, however short-lived it may be.
Suck really bad against everyone else, and sneak attack them with good play. (see Charlotte game)
4) Have a starter out with an injury.
5. Send them to the FT line
6. Force Barry and Finley to have to play defense
3. hope that pop plays small ball
- then it's just a lay up drill
AMEN!!AMEN!!AMEN!!!
7. Have Parker turn over the ball 6 times
like Baron Davis?
That's not true as Parker does that most games doesn't he? He's a turnover machine! He's got serious game outside of that one deficiency though. Of course, I only see about 1 of every 3 Spur's games but the ones I see, he sure does seem to turn the ball over a lot.
8. Be the Dallas Mavericks.
have Pop put Michael Finley late in the game
Is Finley becoming this years Nick Van Exel?
If you're gonna play smaller, you have to get quicker and younger.
Spurs demonstrated their intention of going smaller by dumping their traditional center tandem. Yet, they're still older and slower on the perimeter. They did little to address this during the offseason.
Go figure!![]()
The problem is they have practically no one of trade value. Their Big Three they'll never trade. Their old vets Horry and Finley they shouldn't trade (bad form). Their young players are valueless (Butler, White, Bonner). They have one piece of dead weight (Williams). The one guy of value (Barry) is one guy you can't afford to lose.
Then their overseas players... Scola is cursed with that contract of his. The rest of the players are next to valueless, too. Sanikidze and Mahinmi are leagues from contributing, and Javtokas got shot dead this summer. He wouldn't help much the way we need help, anyway.
It's a miracle they got anything out of the off-season. We have to shave money because of the damn luxury tax, but the centers we got seem to be doing a fair job. It's a miracle Oberto turns out as good as he is. And it's a near-miracle we got a late first-round pick drop in our hands in James White.
This is the end-game for dynasties. I've said it before. It gets harder to regenerate talent and players start getting older and older and older. Not to say we can't keep it going, but there will be games like BtBs we simply struggle mightily to win.
He is... at least he wasn't fired in the parking lot of a Diamond Shamrock.
