"Put the ball in the basket"
I'm not overly concerned at this point but a few things...
- 4 down should be a third option at best. Wasn't working, won't work.
- West, Hibbert are really good with the Pick and roll defense masking Hill's and Watsons weak PnR defense
- This team plays really good help defense.
Belli, Mills aren't going to explode against this team. Tony should shoot a lot and really a lot..I thought he had his mid-range game today but shyed away from it...
I think a good starting point would be playing Bonner less. Bonner probably should never play if he has to guard Scola, West, or Hibbert. Lots of the shots the Pacers got in the 3rd were due to the Spurs needing to help Bonner too much.
Bonner opens up their defense. I see the logic to playing him minutes...
I think they are going to be the NBA champions this year which honestly is cool by me long as ing Miami doesn't get it.
Didn't work today too well, Pacers don't need West inside the paint for defense and he was able to stick with Bonner pretty well.
By playing with grit, moving the ball quickly with quick decisions, attacking and getting them in foul trouble.
Spurs played like they were best friends with the other team, which they are. The Pacers played us like they wanted to kill us tbh.
I think if the Spurs just sat Jeff Errors, Bonner and only played Tim until he broke down, they'd win b3b championships. Same with the PGs, only play Tony. They are young enough. Make injured players play anyhow. them.
Motion. ..
I agree. He did put 5 down in about 90 seconds. He showed he can be effective against a similar defense in Memphis.
Diaw is gonna have to be a true floor spacer. Shoot more 3's. Force West out further and gives Diaw the opportunity to drive to the rim and finish or hit an open shooter.
By not playing Kawhi and Green
You can't beat Hibbert/Scola/West with Bonner, Diaw, Ayreballs. Simple.
Our offense can't stall or we'd be screwed.
You have play offense off your defense. You have to force the Pacers to play full court offense. We have the depth to do that. Our second unit can play solid for 20 mins a game against any team in the league. We have to use it to our advantage by attacking the Pacer offense. We have to use that to our advantage. Play offense off the defense.
