Pau has one of the ugliest forms in the league. On top of that, he shoots the ball with his palm touching the ball. Everybody knows shooting with the tips of your fingers is the best and most accurate way to shoot the basketball. Why hasn't that be corrected? Beats me......

Need to contain Tony a bit more. I dont know why we collapse on him. Also when Bonner starts making layups you know you're ****.

Our only hope to slow TP is to use our most physical guard or combination of guards to pressure him relentlessly. The Spurs took a 2-0 lead on OKC last year in the WCF's before the Thunder adjusted by putting Thabo on Parker. I believe it was Thabo anyway. Since we don't have one wing defender nearly as capable as Thabo perhaps we should run the offense through Pau and rotate different guards In and out as much as necessary to keep fresh legs constantly hounding TP.


Also maybe pick TP up in the backcourt some?

This game should be closer than the last game with us having at least some shot to win if we play well at all.

And your part about Bonner couldn't be more correct. That guy tilts me to no end!
Sometimes being wrong is awesome!!! :D

I would consider starting Blake and Morris up.
Put Morris on parker since he is the only capable wing defender that we have.

I really believe that Nash can do the most damage with the second unit.

The only problem here is that morris is not a good 3 point shooter, so he wouldn't space the floor for us.

We've certainly got to do something about the bench. They didn't show up at all last game. Meanwhile, Ginobli lit us up.

Magic shot with his palm...it can be very accurate.

I think the art form of shooting is arbitrary.

There have seen some good shooters that have bad form.


Shawn mariosn threes come to mind.

Other sports have athletes that do things differently. Pau just needs to make more of them.
