Yea, if we only had a healthy full roster last season. If we were able to win half of those 16 close losses, we'd easitly be playoff team. Should've played Claxton on NVE more. NVE is still that dangerous guy. With the injury and age thing. He's an awesome player. I'd have to admit to that. I think we basically lost the game because most of the players were nervous. Just signed some huge tracts. I hope in game 2 everyone plays well. I have total confidence in Murphy. J-Rich?? We'd have to see. Looked extremely shaky. Foyle, gosh.. what happened to the old Foyle 2 seasons ago? I felt during that season he outplayed Dampier. I hope Pietrus comes back soon. That might add some extra fire power.
I think Pietrus will add a lot more than people think. This guy is a defensive specialist that will create havoc. It seems like everyone picks it up when he is in the game.
I hope that Dunleavy, Murphy and Richardson are able to put a good game between the three of them. I don't think we will win many games if all three of them aren't clicking at the same time. Hopefully the team will be able to execute the offense more smootly and at least Dunleavy had the balls to take the last shot.
The kid was nervous because I bet Montgomery ordered him to shoot it and he's never been in that situation except one time where Musselman said inbound the ball and wait for the pass to shoot it at the top of the arc. That's a Cliff Robinson or Derek Fisher spot, Dunleavy likes to shoot from the left of the key a little bit and he's definitely not a corner sooter. LOL. You have to admit the last shot was a pretty bad shot. You can't be labeled a pure shooter and miss everything but air on a wide open shot from the baseline. He won't make the same mistake next time I bet. Oh yes and Pietrus will be the man. He could be streakier than Manu Ginobli but he can score on the break and will be an excellent open court player. Half court I don't know so much.
