Flip adjustments on offense vs. SA for next time

I hope so. We were bottled up too many moments in the game. I don't look at the final score. They were in the game with us and with Ginobli--they would have scored a bit more. I am not comfortable with how easy they seem to stop Rip. We need Rip for our offensive balance. I stated before the game that Tay posting up on this team was a waste. They want teams to go baseline and are ready to collapse the defense. Tay got nothing last year doing this against SA. Tay's biggest shot was the three in the 3rd quarter when we looked dead offensively. We need for Tay to take the quick look and operate from near the top against them. Notice how open Sheed was on the kick out for the three in the fourth quarter. These guys can be had but not by pounding the ball in on them offensively--not the strength of our guys vs them. Sheed was effective down low only on the offensive boards. We should take what their defense gives us. Even Chauncey threw up some wild shots on his drives in the second half. We need to go 3-4 passes against these guys and it will open up.
