Reading defense sets, reading offense sets. Not necessarily playing HARD athletic defense (like Ben Wallace; natural athletic talent). There's a big difference in doing that (knowledge based) rather than just coming in the NBA and running around looking clueless (like a lot of American players).
Phil never do anything during games anyway, except b****ing with the refs. He can leave that to the good hands of Jack Nicholson.
Halftime I'am going to go out on a limb here and say the Spurs are going to close out this game, and finish off the Lakers at home.
It looks like a Lone Star Showdown in the Western Final. Spurs vs Mavs. With Chris Webber injured, I don't see the Kings beating the Mavs.
It's amazing how many feet end up in a mouth, during Laker games. If LA is the "Fakers" what does that make San Antonio, or the 27 other teams?
You know what, I think the Lakers are going to win it all this year once again. That's my worst fear, but it will come true. If San Antonio can't stop them, how would you expect the Mavs or Webberless Kings stop them? No way. Oh, the Eastern champions... forget about it.
Yes, I'm always skeptical of the "heart" of the Spurs. They haven't show me anything yet. Oh, well. The Rockets need "heart" too.
