After reviewing the game a few times, I got around to looking closely at how Prince did as our point guard for the 6 or 7 minutes from the end of the 1st quarter to halfway thru the 2nd quarter. Not bad. Delfino was less involved than I thought the first couple of times I watched. He really only had the one drive toward the top of the key with the dish to Dyess. Otherwise, Tay kept the ball, and made the passes to trigger the plays. We zipped up to a 20 point lead (from 13 up) with Tay in at point. Can't complain about that. We still had an 18 point lead well into the 2nd quarter. And without a blown call by the official, it would have still been an 18 point lead. (Assuming Delfino makes his free throws after Duncan shoved him to the floor.

Man, the more I watch that play, the madder at thr refs I get. And the league as an extension. This shove was way too obvious. Getting superstar calls is one thing, but both Ginobili and Duncan got away with seriously endangering our players in this game with on call at all. Horry should flat out got a suspension for throwing Rip to the floor too. No way that was jus a routine foul. A hard foul is one thing. Grabbing a guy and throwing him on the floor is way out of line. Ok, got that out of my system.)
