Most points, first half 107-Phoenix vs. Denver, November 10, 1990 Far from History, but yeah i don't want to face this team in the playoffs.
Those three are in a class by themselves, but Rockets definitely aren't "five notches below". The more Yao and Mac play together the better they are going to get.
Popovich answered by bringing Ginobody off the bench. Basically, Popovich admitted he needed to change something. He just won't use Ginobody correctly as a starter. Primarily, that is what got exposed, and to make Duncan beat you this year...cause he has a tendency to not attack enough early in the game, and then has trouble with foul shooting late.
I was watching the Warriors/Wizards game the other day. The absolute lack of defense was was just nauseating. I'm watching these two teams score layup after layup and here I'm thinking, man, if only one of you guys could get a SINGLE stop, the game is yours.
yep, just like Memphis. The Spurs will school a gimmick run-n-gun offense; that is, a team that can't really execute half court or play defense, so they will try to outrun you in a freestyle manner. Think about it: for the past 6yrs or so, the Spurs have prepared a lot for running teams (good ones like the Kings, Mavs, Suns). The bad ones are going to get crushed by the Spurs. Duncan is one of the best running big men in the league; Parker is one of the fastest PGs in the league; Ginobody is one of the best open court players in the league. etc, etc
