Wanna be the best? Beat the best. I am fine taking on SAS. The Legend of Lillard will just grow when he breaks their heart too.
Parker will feast on our brand of pick and roll defense. I think we have to go under the screens and try to make him a jump shooter.
Mavs looked gassed halfway through the 1st qtr. Spurs have an amazing knack for poking the ball away and they've totally taken Dirk out of the game. Mavs offense looks like a jumble of confusion. No screens, can't pass. Parker sure doesn't look like a guy who's coming off injury
Those Ginobli assists bouncing between the defenders legs or wrap arounds to Duncan are amazing. Splitter and Duncan are a tough matchup for any team.
Ok. He's 2-5 outside the paint today, and 5-5 in the paint with the longest shot being an 11 footer, and 4 layups. I'll take the 2-5 over 5-5.
Parker still owns the mid-range jumper He shot 44% from 10-16ft this season 46% from 16ft to the 3pt line His game is prefect for killing how the Blazers play the pick and roll. It worked against Harden because Harden doesn't like that shot. Parker loves that shot.
..... That's not the point It's still a big problem either way. Those mid-range jumpers are easy shots for Parker
