| Re: Detroit at San Antonio - Jan 12th, 2006 This is going to be a tough game to win. We are not especially rested. They will have revenge on their minds with Ginobli back. They have vowed to get more aggressive on the boards from getting beat up in Detroit last time. I will be watching the offense to see if we get ball movement, if we can get Rip open and if we use Sheed both inside and out. Bringing Sheed out on this team hurts them because it takes Duncan away from the basket. You have to keep Parker out of the lane as they go to him in the first quarter. Ginobli's shot is back and Bowen is shooting better this year. We have to attack Horry down low on his defense. Teams have been sending players into the lane to receive passes and that causes problems for their bigs. We have to take the quick look, run the break and finally, on the half court, make the extra pass. |
