-Establish the big 3 early, adding to only Duncan. Stupid Manu jumpers early only gives takes away our opportunities to establish anything and control the pace in the slightest.
-Play like you want to win
-Start Parker. Hill can't guard any of the Phoenix's starters. Force Nash to play some defense.
-Establish Duncan early. Not only will Duncan play better but the Spurs will give three-point shooters a chance to get on a role.
(These adjustments are so needed that they warrant a thread mid-game)
.... add more ...

Do not play Bogans I don't give a how many fluke shots he makes. RJ and Dice were doing decent. Put any of them instead of Keith right now.
Dude its like my worst ing nightmare. Hill can't guard anyone and he's letting it affect his aggressiveness on offense. He's become a rookie again.
And Duncan being established early is impossible if he's not scoring on any move he makes.
Also Blair got the rookie jitters again.
It's like playing 4 on 10.
oh yeah:
don't allow wide open threes to the best three point shooting team
tell Duncan to not get fouled
Also Suns seem very committed to fouling Duncan hard. Duncan picked a bad time to have his worst playoff free throw shooting streak ever.
no more quick Ginobili 3s with 20 seconds still on clocl, as this is part of the recipe for a Suns win.
what can be done so that the spurs make their free throws? seriously.
-get back on ing defense in transition...one of the easiest things to do.
Don't out small-ball the suns. Rediculous.
Bogans will always hurt us in the long run. you Pop.
-Trade Parker.
Oh wait.
.........................
We got game 2.
- Play 48 minutes. Not 24.
- Goes with the first one, stop getting yourself intoa huge hole you can't dig yourself out o.
Do Something to get RJ aggressive early. Right now he is truly what Bruce Bowen's critics (Ghost) mistakenly always accused him of being--worthless on offense. And it ain't like his defense is winning prizes.
I'm not even close to being convinced.....
Spurs have to find a way to get RJ some easy baskets...
Maybe pull the bigs out on high screens and dump it down to him so he can go one-on-one vs a defender and not have to worry about shot-blockers or making an inside pass. Also if he misses, our bigs are already near the 3pt line and can get back on D
Get to the lane, stop shooting jumpers right inside the f'n 3-point line, christ that's terrible.
- Play small ball with one big for a majority of the game. We seemed to have greater success with small ball lineups. That means we'll see mostly Duncan and Dice playing center. If Pop elects to do this, we won't see much, if any, of Bonner or Blair. I know I and others have hated on small ball all season long, but I feel that it's appropriate in this series against a fast-paced Suns team.
- Maybe play Bogans more. Perhaps, this was just a fluke game, but we played well there for that stretch with him playing the power forward position.
I want to rip my balls off
