    From the first 5 minutes of the game that I saw when I was working out (at a gym that has comcast), it looks like our ball movement is much better. Our biggest problem with our offense during this horrible stretch has been predictability. Either Roy ISO's the whole time or Aldridge backing down his defender and the team as whole settling for outside shots.

    It would be nice if I could get a good link. If someone can hook me up it would really rock my socks off.

    They have 10 more shots than us. 8 offensive rebounds.

    predictability isn't all that horrible if the plays work; Spurs were pretty predictable when they won titles; they were just very efficient; tonight, we are efficient

    They had ball movement. Tony Parker and Ginobili consistently put the ball on the floor and went to the hoop and Duncan is one of the best big men at passing out of double teams. Predictability with no ball movement makes scouts look like geniuses.

    Bayless needs to work on his passing; Howard would've made the shot if Bayless got him the ball properly.

    Wow, I thought Nate's rotations were bad, but Dean's are even worse.

    He has 2 assists in 7 mins as opposed to 3 in 13 mins for Blake. I think he's doing fine.

    Dean's been Nate's shadow for awhile now, they are from the same school of thought. I don't see much difference in the rotation.

    Blake plays entire 1st quarter, comes in halfway in the second.

    Bayless doesn't play in the 1st, and Andre barely does.

    Joel has 2 fouls, well, let's leave Howard in with 3 fouls.

    Put Roy in for 2 mins, then take him out, wtf?

    Martell playing 15 straight mins?

    Atleast Juwan Howard understands high-low basketball. If only he was more skilled, or was the same player he was about 10 years ago.
