Re: Round 2 Game 7 - "The Witness Falls"

I think I heard Flip say this during the postgame: "We all know that defense wins championships." Yep, Flip is learning what Ben has always known. This team hangs its hat on defense. Flip, perhaps, has always known it, superficially, but never got a real taste of it until yesterday. Wow, 61 points.

Still, it seems there have been more isolation plays and less ball movement on offense. I loved the ball movement during the regular season and hope they can return to it. Sheed was ALWAYS shooting wide-open 3's during the season but not at all in this series.

Glad this series is over. Enjoy the Game 7s tonight, fellas. Something tells me the Spurs find a way to win. Just a hunch.
